Chapter 040 An Accident Happened

The queen mother is in good health, with a pair of dioramas brought in by Westerners on the bridge of her nose, she squinted her eyes and looked carefully at Mrs. Zhan.It's no wonder that she attaches so much importance to Zhan's child. Among the elder brothers who have grown up, except for the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, Yinhu's knees are the most empty.There are quite a few women in Babeile's mansion, but except for the Wusun family who has died of illness, Wan Ning who gave birth to Hutuli, and the Zhan family in front of me, none of the other women have any signs of happiness. Not a happy thing for the Royals.

"It looks like a lucky one." The queen mother nodded with a smile, "Huiyun, find the string of Buddhist beads I got recently and put it on this girl."

The one called "Hui Yun" was Nanny Yun who had been with the Queen Mother for decades. She responded, left for a while, and came back with a brocade box in her hand.Opening it up, I saw a bracelet of ivory beads lying quietly on the red velvet cloth. Nurse Yun said with a smile, "It's still very lucky. This string of beads was sent to Beijing by the Living Buddha of Tibet after reciting sutras a hundred times. Special congratulations on the queen mother's birthday. It is appropriate to give it to Gege now, and I will surely bless Gege to give birth to a little elder brother safely!"

Nanny Yun picked up what the Empress Dowager loved to say, but she didn't want to make Guo Luoluo on the side even more sullen.A little concubine, who was born as a slave in a coat, unexpectedly received such a heavy reward from the Queen Mother!As for her granddaughter-in-law, the Queen Mother hasn't spoken a word to her since she stepped into Ningshou Palace. In the past, she was one of the famous and proud people in front of the Queen Mother!

"Thank you, my servant, for the reward from the Queen Mother." Although Zhan's temperament is cautious, it may be a blessing that many people can't even hope to be favored by the Queen Mother. Naturally, the brightest smile bloomed on his face, which is even more hateful in the eyes of Guo Luoluo .She didn't notice Guo Luoluo's eyes as if she was going to cut her alive, she smiled and stretched out her hand to ask Nanny Yun to put the Buddhist beads on her wrist.

"You are so precious that you can't stand for a long time, move a stool to sit on." The queen mother motioned Zhuru to support Zhan's point, then turned to Wanning and said, "It's been a long time since Ai's family saw little Gege from Laoba's family. Come on, come up and ask Mother Wuku to take a look."

Hu Tuli was wearing bright red clothes, no different from the lucky boy under the Guanyin seat, with a cute and bulging face, in the eyes of the old lady, such a look is called a blessing.The queen mother liked it even more, and after calling her to her side, she couldn't bear to let go of her arms. While asking someone to pass some snacks and milk tea, she said, "I saw it at Concubine Liang's place before, and she has grown so big in a blink of an eye. Look at it." She is exactly the same as Yinhu when she was a child, and she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."

"The Queen Mother is right, and Ba Ye often said that Little Gege looks like him." Guo Luoluo pursed her lips before talking with a smile, "I hope that Zhan Shi can safely give birth to Ba Ye's elder brother. Ba Ye is the one who has both sons and daughters. Seeing that Zhan's pregnancy is almost three months old, the queen mother can call her at any time if she meets, and the granddaughter-in-law will definitely bring her to pay her respects to the queen mother."

Zhan's joyful mood turned cold in an instant, and the joy of being rewarded by the queen mother was completely dissipated by Guo Luoluo's voice.She unconsciously reached out to caress her abdomen, lowered her eyes and didn't know what to think.She conceived this child secretly without telling Fujin, because the fetal image was not stable before, so she could hide in her small yard all the time.But once the fetal image is stable, it is necessary to ask for greetings, and then there will be many days to face Fujin!

Thinking of this, Zhan felt that Rumang felt uncomfortable all over his back, and became more and more restless.

The birthday banquet was held in the Ningshou Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs struggled for a long time about Zhan's seat. After all, it could not arrange her to sit at the same table with side Fujin. There was a slight difference in the menu, so a last seat was arranged for Mrs. Zhan, and the menus were only served after being seen by experienced nuns.

"You have a good temper, and you don't want to persuade the Fujin not to bring that Gege into the palace." Fujin have their own social circle, and the side Fujin also has the side Fujin's social circle.Dafujin Yiergen Jue Luo had just died of illness, and brother Gege from the county palace did not come to the banquet tonight.Wu Yashi, who came with the elder brother, became more and more silent. The third elder brother, side Fujin Tian, ​​and the fourth elder brother, side Fujin Li, were chatting about the fashionable jewelry styles in the capital.The fifth elder brother looked at Fujin Guerjia's eyebrows and saw the presence of Zhan's, so he leaned over and said to Wanning.

"Nurse Yun, who is next to the queen mother, came to deliver the message in person, how can Fujin disobey the queen mother's order?" Wan Ning took a sip of sour plum soup, "After all, the people in the imperial dining room are skilled in cooking, this sour plum soup is delicious, you should try it too. "

The Guerjia family was personally selected by the queen mother for the fifth elder brother because of Wu Fujin's background - Ta Lala is the daughter of Zhang Bao, a member of the fifth rank. Compared with the other elder brothers, Fujin, this background is not enough. , which dissatisfied the queen mother who had been taking care of the fifth elder brother.Unable to change the emperor's will, he could only pick a few side Fujins with good family backgrounds. That's how the Guerjia family came into the Queen Mother's eyes.She is also up to the mark, and once she entered the mansion, she won the favor of the fifth elder brother in one fell swoop, which established her position in the Wubeile mansion.

The Guerjia family was not stupid, knowing that Wan Ning was changing the subject so that people would not think that she questioned the Queen Mother's will, so she pushed the boat forward and said, "That's natural, the cooks in the imperial dining room are all first-rate. Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother." Banquet, they are naturally more attentive."

"Isn't it? If you do well, you can get rewards from the emperor." Li Shi also interjected at this time, "Although the rewards are not many, they still represent face anyway. Don't they all put in all their cooking skills just tonight? Brilliant."

"It's a blessing for us." Tian said with a smile.Although they are side Fujins, they are not as able to talk as the Fujins in front of the Queen Mother. Naturally, they receive less attention when they sit far away, and they don't have to deal with the Queen Mother's questions at any time like elder brother Fujin and clan Fujin And dare not eat more.

"You are gluttonous." Speaking of which, except for Tian's, they, the Fujin, are all favored in the mansion.Especially Mrs. Li, she was just a princess when she first served the fourth elder brother. Now she has raised the only daughter of the fourth elder brother, and has successively given birth to the second elder brother and the third elder brother of the Sibeile Mansion. It didn't hinder her momentary status as a favored child, because she was favored and had meritorious birth, so she was invited to be made a side Fujin.

But no matter how favored the Li family is, it is still not as legendary as the Seventh Prince's side Fujin Nala family.Seventh elder brother's first son and first daughter were all born by Nala's family, and now she is nine months pregnant, because she is about to give birth, so she can't enter the palace today.

Several people were talking, when they suddenly heard a half exclamation from behind, they turned their heads and found that two nuns were driving Zhan's left and right.Zhan's body was crooked, it seemed that he was unsteady when he got up just now, and almost fell to the ground.Wan Ning frowned slightly, and seeing that Guo Luoluo had sent Rose to check, she ordered Hu Po to go half a step later.

"It's a blessing to be lucky enough to come to the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet." Tian wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, "You should be careful when you know that you are pregnant. If you want to make some noise, who will you show it to?"

The rest of the people also had a look of approval on their faces. It seemed that everyone had the same attitude towards the favored concubine.Wan Ning didn't talk to her, she just sat there quietly, watching Rose greet Zhan Shi.

"The servant girl just asked Qiu Ju who was next to Jang Gege, and said that Jang Gege felt backache after sitting for a long time, and wanted to get up and go for a walk, but he didn't want to step on something to sprain his feet in the dark. The two nuns have been paying attention to Zhan Gege's movements, so there was no bloody incident at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet." After returning from the palace, after burning hot water to take a bath and changing clothes, Amber waited on Wanning to dry her long hair while Said, "Later, Qiu Ju and the two nuns looked at it. I don't know which maid spilled some soup when serving the dishes. Zhan Gege was afraid that he would slip if he stepped on the soup."

Pregnant people shouldn't wear flowerpot shoes, but Guo Luoluo said that this time entering the palace must be carefully made up, and there are two nuns watching, so Zhan is willing to change into flowerpot shoes.

"Did the two mothers see who spilled the soup?" Wan Ning asked.

"Nurse is busy taking care of Zhan Gege, so she said she didn't see it." Amber replied, "This servant finds it strange that although Zhan Gege is sitting far away, there are palace lanterns and candlesticks at the banquet after all, how could he not see it? Qiu Ju Serving Jang Gege's meals is nothing more than that, are the two nuns slacking off?"

"Those two nuns seem to belong to Baoyi Zhenglan?" Wan Ning asked with a flash of inspiration.

"It seems to be." Amber thought about it for a while, "But the two nuns were specially invited by Master Ba, so there should be no problem."

"It's hard to say." Money touches people's hearts. How many monthly orders can one get as a slave? If someone tempts them with a hundred times a thousand times the monthly money, who can guarantee that these nuns from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be tempted?Besides, there are many servants and maidservants in the House of Internal Affairs who are filial in the palace on weekdays, so how can their greedy nature be restrained so easily.

"Then master, do you want to investigate?" Amber asked.

"Let's see Ba ​​Ye's reaction tomorrow." Wan Ning didn't want to make such a move.Whether or not Zhan's pregnancy can be saved depends on her own ability, she has no interest in defending her to the end.

"If someone really did something behind the scenes, then that person's intentions are too cruel." Hu Po whispered, "This is the Empress Dowager's birthday, if something really happens, the Empress Dowager will not look good, and the Emperor will definitely be angry After all, it is not the face of the eighth master that is damaged."

"The Zhan family is a shining target in the mansion today." Wan Ning held a hand stove, "What did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said that Zhan Gege was frightened. Although the fetal gas has not moved, it still needs to be taken care of during this period." Amber replied.

"It's natural." It's okay not to go out, but she almost fell down when she went out, and she would have lingering fears.This time I just sprained my ankle, who can guarantee that nothing else will happen next time?Zhan is not stupid, otherwise Guo Luoluo would not be able to relax and have Yinhu's child. "We're also staying away from Zhan's yard. I always think there's another trick to this matter."

"Yes."
