[Red Mansions] The promotion of the female history of salted fish

The news of Sun Xuanshi's pregnancy reached the emperor's ears. The emperor was so excited that he ordered someone to promote Sun Xuanshi to a higher level on the spot, and he would be Sun Cairen in the future.

In fact, the general concubine should be promoted after giving birth, and I have never heard of anyone who was promoted because of pregnancy.But during this period, the emperor's tinnitus became more and more serious, reminding him almost all the time that this body is already old.Now that he suddenly heard that he still had the ability to impregnate the little beauty, the emperor was naturally so happy that he broke the routine.

However, talents are not considered high-ranking. Entering the palace means that there are too many talented girls. There is no need for everyone to fight with the emperor because of such a trivial matter. Naturally, congratulations to the emperor for his spirit. Next year, we will add another one. A little prince.

After the imperial decree from Jin came to Changchun Palace, Concubine Zhuang officially ordered the small kitchen to set up a stove to serve Sun Cairen.

Although Xiaoyan said before that the people in the Changchun Palace's small kitchen were about to fight over the stove that came out alone, Yunling didn't think that this matter could have anything to do with her.Sun Cairen said that he was a concubine of the Changchun Palace. In fact, the number of times he saw Concubine Zhuang after being blessed by the emperor was not as much as when he was a second-class court lady. Those who follow Concubine Zhuang in their daily actions will not notice Sun Cairen.Now that you are pregnant and should take supplements, then tell the kitchen to pay attention to the ingredients for supplements that are suitable for Sun Cairen's physical condition.As for Yunling herself, she can live her life as she pleases every day.

It turns out that it really isn't.

Sun Cairen was just a court lady before, and her vision was lacking, but that doesn't mean she had no ideas at all.She doesn't know whether the child in her belly is a boy or a girl. If it is the prince, then she should get close to Concubine Zhuang from now on, so that the child can get more care from the master when he is in Shangshufang in the future.If she is a princess, she should be picking on Concubine Zhuang now, so that her daughter can have some leeway when choosing her husband's family instead of being picked by others.

In short, thanks to Concubine Zhuang's kindness, she rewarded her with a stove in the small kitchen, and Sun Cairen began to come to the main hall to pay his respects every now and then.She usually lives in the first side hall of the Changchun Palace, so it is very convenient for Concubine Zhuang to greet her.For the sake of the child in her womb, Concubine Zhuang couldn't keep her from entering the house in such a cold weather.Sun Cai has a clever tongue, and within a few days, he was able to get a seat in the main hall of Changchun Palace.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the fifth prince finally returned to the capital before the Chinese New Year.Concubine Li was overjoyed when she got the news, and hurriedly went to Changchun Palace with the fifth concubine who brought the news to meet Concubine Zhuang, and what she saw was this scene.

Concubine Li's complexion changed slightly, but the fifth prince's concubine reacted quickly. Before Concubine Zhuang noticed Li Concubine, she coughed a few times, and then smiled at Concubine Zhuang, "It's too cold today, and the wind is a bit choking all the way. That's great. I've heard that Concubine Zhuang has recruited a new cook this winter. Concubine Zhuang will give me a bowl of pear soup."

Almost at the same time as the sound of the fifth prince's concubine coughing, Concubine Li quickly adjusted the expression on her face, and now she stretched out her finger to touch the fifth prince's concubine's cheek, shook her head and smiled.

Concubine Zhuang glanced at Yun Ling, smiled and joked with the Fifth Prince Concubine, "How good is this? A cook has come and I haven't been able to handle it enough, so I'll ask the reporter to find out first."

Everyone laughed.In fact, Yunling and the fifth concubine had a good relationship, but she had her own sense of what to say and what not to say, and Concubine Zhuang also knew this, so she didn't care much about the relationship between the two.

"It's my fault. I wanted to be greedy, but who would have thought that in the end, my mother would lose a piece of pear soup in Changchun Palace." As she said that, Yunling made a gesture to go out, and said with a smile, "Please, sir." As a punishment, I will punish the minister to bring the pear soup to the empress, and the minister will just watch and feel the taste of being greedy."

Concubine Zhuang waved her hand with a smile. Yunling knew that she agreed, so she turned around and went to the small kitchen, ordering the dessert chef to make a few quick desserts according to her own taste.When she returned to the main hall of Changchun Palace, standing at the door, she could already hear bursts of laughter from inside.

"When I was born in Haoyue, I vomited whatever I ate for the first three months. After three months, I'll be fine. I want to eat this and that," Concubine Zhuang said, with a hint of confusion in her expression. Reminisce, but soon came back to his senses, and smiled at Sun Cairen, "That's why I asked the small kitchen to turn the stove on for you. I think this child still loves you, although it has not been three months yet." , but your usual reaction is not serious, just tell them what you want to eat."

Sun Cairen pursed his lips in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your trouble."

Seeing this, Li Bin also smiled and talked about the past when she was pregnant with Situ Hui.At that time, Concubine Li was still living in the Changchun Palace, so Concubine Zhuang had a vague impression of many things she said, and the two immediately talked about various precautions during pregnancy.Although the fifth prince and concubine knew all these things, after all, she was separated from the other three people for a lifetime, so she couldn't talk about it, so she could only smile on the side and act like a wallflower.

Seeing Yunling coming back with a few maids holding trays, the fifth prince's concubine's eyes lit up, and when Yunling passed by behind her, she said with a smile, "After all, it was for me that I was punished. I owe you this dessert first. Sooner or later I will pay it back."

Yun Ling didn't mind either, and played tricks on her, "Okay, the interest will be increased then."

"Look at them, they are like real sisters." Taking advantage of the time when Concubine Li lowered her head to drink tea, Concubine Zhuang's eyes fell on Yunling and Fifth Prince Concubine who were looking at each other and smiling, and said with a smile.

Concubine Li's eyes flickered slightly, sister, this has a lot of meaning... Thinking of the emperor's message to her two days ago, asking her to choose two women with good temperament and good heirs for her son.She originally thought Concubine Zhuang would either ignore her, or point to a maid from the palace, but she didn't expect it to be Miao Nushi?Concubine Li glanced at Sun Cairen who was sitting across from her. Concubine Zhuang is...showing her favor?To tell her not to think too much?

While speaking, Yunling had already brought the maid over.She placed desserts on the small table in front of Concubine Zhuang with her own hands, and when she looked up, she saw Concubine Li looking at her with rather "kind" eyes, which made her hands tremble, and almost threw away the last plate of milk and egg fermented glutinous rice On the table.

Fortunately, after serving tea and pouring water for so long, the body still has the conditioned reflex.Yun Ling silently straightened the last plate of desserts, then bowed and stepped aside—the desserts for Concubine Li, Fifth Prince Concubine, and Sun Cairen were all set up by maids of honor, not everyone had to be served by her personally.

Li Bin is very satisfied with Miao Nushi.In the past six months, she has often come to Changchun Palace, so she has some understanding of Miao Yunling's personality.He is kind and generous, although he can't tell if he is a good offspring, but he must have a good temperament.Concubine Zhuang's ability to give her to Hui'er proves that Concubine Zhuang's sincerity in continuing to cooperate is still very high.

After staying in Changchun Palace all morning, Concubine Li also calmed down a bit.Whether Sun Cairen's child is a boy or a girl is still uncertain. Even if it is a boy, it will take at least 15 years for him to grow up. 15 years... There are too many variables, at least Concubine Zhuang will not completely abandon the alliance with her.

Moreover, Sun Cairen lives in Changchun Palace now, even if Concubine Zhuang really adopted Sun Cairen's child, how different would it be from the current fifth prince?Unless Sun Caisheng doesn't see the child after giving birth, or Concubine Zhuang simply leaves the mother and keeps the child.

With Sun Cairen's knowledge, it is impossible to agree to the former; for the latter, Concubine Li lowered her head and widened the tea leaves, and took a sip of tea. Concubine Zhuang is a rare thunderbolt in the harem, a gentleman with a heart, and will not actively harm others of life.

Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li had chosen a man, and they waited for the emperor to bestow the crown prince's man first.Unexpectedly, the wait was ten days.The palace has been decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, preparing to celebrate the New Year, but there is still no movement from the emperor's side.Moreover, standing in front of the emperor two days ago, he could still feel his vigor of "I am really a dragon, a tiger and a tiger", but these two days have become much calmer.Thinking of the news she received two days ago, Concubine Zhuang realized: Who else could it be?His Royal Highness has provoked the emperor again.

The emperor is suffering.Empress Yuan left early. At that time, his relationship with the queen mother was not very close. None of the concubines in the harem were qualified to raise the prince, so he raised the prince by being both a father and a mother these years.Compared with the emperor's attitude towards the prince, the rest of the sons seemed to be picked up.

Although getting along with the other sons is more like a monarch and a minister than a father and son, the relationship between the prince and the emperor is still very good these years.For example, this time, the sons had insufficient heirs, and the emperor planned to reward the two of them.Regarding the rest of the sons, the emperor's attitude is: let the son's mother pick one at will, and it will be fine if he can have a child by then.But when he came to the prince, the emperor wanted to ask the prince in advance what kind of woman he likes.

After all, he didn't choose a serious daughter-in-law, and the emperor didn't want to make things look like they were playing against the court, rigid and rigid.He simply walked over to the Prince's East Palace while visiting the Imperial Garden one day, and wanted to discuss this matter in private.

The emperor was very relieved to hear that the prince was in the study. With a happy mood of "my prince is so diligent and hardworking", the emperor walked from the gate of the East Palace all the way to the door of the prince's study.In order not to disturb his dear son's study, he also specifically told the little eunuch not to announce loudly, anyway, he will see you soon, alas, I have to tell my son to pay attention to his health, he can't stay in the study every day, and occasionally he has to ride a horse, so he can go out and relax Well.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he saw the little eunuch who was in charge of the door as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes widened and he wanted to run into the house.The emperor instinctively felt that something was wrong, and ordered his subordinates to quickly restrain the little eunuch, and then went to push the door of the study in person.However, no matter how much he had done in his heart, after pushing the door open, the emperor's eyes widened...
