[Qing Chuan] Koi Little Promise

Concubine Duan glanced at the jewelry in the box for a few times before turning her gaze back.

She said wittily: "Your Majesty's kindness, how dare I refuse?"

Only then did Concubine Tong show a satisfied look on her face.

August [-]th is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On such an important day, everyone in the palace was busy.

Although it was the first time for Concubine Tong to organize a palace banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she managed it in an orderly manner.

Just woke up this morning.

Gospel first used a bowl of sesame paste as usual, and then let Shao Yao comb her hair slowly.There are many things to say today, in the morning, all the concubines in the harem, from Concubine Tong to Concubine Tong, had to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the Empress Dowager.

Then they will accompany Xiao Zhuang to watch a few plays in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Then, after Kangxi finished worshiping the moon god, the palace banquet began, with singing and dancing, and delicacies were all prepared. Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion day, this moon cake was indispensable. In addition, there were hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake as a tribute. It is only fat and meaty, served with a little ginger vinegar, the taste is not to mention delicious.

Thinking about the time now, I just missed a good time to use hairy crabs.

Gospel could not help but sigh.

Shao Yao was combing her hair, when she heard her sigh, she hurriedly stopped the comb on her hand and asked, "Master, did this servant accidentally pull your hair?"

"none of your business."

Gospel shook his head and said, "It's just that I feel a little sad when I think that this hairy crab is at the right time, but I don't need it."

When Nanny An heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

She took Shaoyao's comb, and neatly combed Gospel's hair twice, "The nobleman is about to become a mother, why are you still so childish? You can't touch hairy crabs in the first few months, and the hairy crabs are too It's cold. The Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent some mooncakes to you yesterday, with red bean filling and sweet-scented osmanthus filling. If you want to eat, you might as well try these mooncakes."

Gospel glanced at the faintly bright light outside the window.

Soon they will have to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, so they should eat something to fill their stomachs first.

"Forget it, let's get something stuffed with red beans."

Gospel thought for a while and said.

Shaoyao and Lily went to bring moon cakes.

When the mooncake was unveiled, Gospel glanced at it out of the corner of her eye. After she hurriedly looked away, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She quickly turned her head to take a closer look, and couldn't help but smiled and said, "Is this a mooncake?"

Shao Yao and the others snickered.

Nanny An also smiled and said, "This is the first time you have seen mooncakes in the palace. The mooncakes in the palace are all this big."

Gospel stood up, she walked to the mooncake curiously, and gestured with her hand, good guy, this mooncake is half as wide as her arm, it's not a mooncake, it's clearly a big bun.

"It must be a foot long."

Gospel said dumbfounded, it's a good thing she didn't ask Shaoyao and the others to bring some, otherwise, they would have been exhausted to death.

"Almost." Nanny An smiled, picked up the knife, and cut a piece out.

Gospel tasted it hesitantly.

Although the mooncake is a bit bigger, it tastes good. The mooncake skin is crispy, and the red bean filling is sweet but not greasy. After eating a piece, Gospel feels that it is almost the same.

Nanny An brought a cup of ginseng tea and moistened her mouth.

Then Gospel glanced at the enamel chiming clock, it was almost time.

Gospel leads Shao Yao and others out of the house.

When she walked to the front hall, she found that Shu Chang was waiting in the side hall. Seeing her coming, Shu Chang stood up with a somewhat uncomfortable expression and saluted. Gospel smiled faintly, waved his hands slightly, and said: " You don't need to be too polite when you are comfortable."

"Thank you, sir."

Shu Chang sat back in his seat full of displeasure.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since they entered the palace. Back then it was Gospel who wanted to salute when she saw her.

After Gospel sat in the chair, he said nothing.

She caressed the jade bracelet in her hand, her expression was lazy, she got up early today to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and now she was inevitably a little sleepy.

If the Gospel doesn't speak, Shu Changzai feels like sitting on pins and needles.

She glanced outside from time to time, the time was coming soon, why was Concubine Wen not ready yet?

The Gospel sees a mind that is at ease.

But she was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she just pretended not to see her.

And at this time.

In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, Concubine Wen and Nanny Gui were looking at the blood stains on the embroidered stool in astonishment.

"This this……"

Concubine Wen's hands and feet were cold, she raised her eyes to look at Nanny Gui, her face was full of panic, "Mom Gui, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know about slaves either." Nanny Gui was no less terrified than Concubine Wen.

Her mind was in a mess.

Is the blood stain due to miscarriage, or is it due to other reasons?

Concubine Wen's feet were already a little weak.

Nanny Gui hurriedly supported her, let her sit down on the couch, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty has never used any taboo things since last night. The servants are watching everywhere. There is no reason for miscarriage. Your Majesty's belly Does it hurt?"

Concubine Wen was completely dumbfounded.

She shook her head and murmured, "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little swollen."

"Bloated?"

Nanny Gui was even more confused.

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed across her mind, and her face turned pale, "Mother, today seems to be the day when you were young, could it be..."

"impossible!"

Concubine Wen retorted sharply.

The sound startled Gospel and Shu Changzai in the side hall.

The two looked at each other, tacitly seeing the doubts on each other's faces.

What happened to Concubine Wen this early in the morning?

"Miss."

The maids outside asked in a low voice: "What happened inside, do you need the servants to go in and serve?"

"You all stay outside." Concubine Wen hurriedly prevented everyone from entering.

Although her mind is in a mess now, she clearly knows that if those court ladies know about this, then she will be in big trouble.

"Yes."

The maids glanced at each other and stepped back tactfully.

"Gui, this is absolutely, absolutely impossible."

Concubine Wen suppressed her voice, bit her lower lip and said firmly.

"But empress, there is nothing else possible." Although Nanny Gui was flustered at this moment, she was much calmer than Concubine Wen. She said to Concubine Wen, "Empress, now is not the time to escape. Your little days are here! , it proves that you are not pregnant."

Speaking of this, Nanny Gui suddenly thought of the fact that Concubine Wen has neither morning sickness nor picky eaters these days. At first, she thought it was because she was pregnant, but now that she thinks about it, she is clearly not pregnant.

Since she was not pregnant, why did she have a bad pregnancy.

Sweat broke out on Concubine Wen's forehead.

Her fingers were trembling, and her pupils were dilated.

Not pregnant?Didn't she commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?

"Nurse Gui, what should I do?"

Concubine Wen's palms were already filled with cold sweat, she held Nanny Gui's hand as if holding the last piece of driftwood.

She is now pregnant and can't go to bed at all, and once the first three months are over, if the belly doesn't show, there is no way to hide it.At that time, just thinking about how terrible her fate will be makes Concubine Wen shudder.

"Miss."

Nanny Gui's hands were all blue from being held.

But she didn't dare to withdraw her hand, but said: "Be calm and don't be impatient, let's think of a way."

In the side hall.

Gospel glanced outside impatiently.

It's already this hour, if it drags on any longer, it will be too late to pay the empress dowager a visit.

Today's big day is delayed, no matter who it is, it will not be good.

When she was about to ask the maids to ask what was going on, she heard a noise from the main hall, and not long after, several maids came to invite them to go.

Shu Chang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Although it was a bit late at this time, as long as the road was faster, there would be no delay.

She has been around for a while, but she dare not do anything wrong.

Gospel and Shu Changzai both got up and walked to the main hall.

Concubine Wen seemed to be in a bad mood, and she didn't talk to them much, she just nodded and led everyone to Yonghe Palace to meet Concubine Tong.

In the Yonghe Palace.

All the concubines have been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Concubine Tong showed a bit of anger in her eyes. She felt that Concubine Wen's late arrival was intentional. Today, she led all the concubines to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. To her, this matter The meaning is beyond important.

After all, when the queen was here in the past, the queen did all this.

Concubine Tong Gui thought a lot, but she never expected that Concubine Wen would trip her up so recklessly.

If the hour is delayed today, even if the Empress Dowager does not say anything, she will blame her in her heart. At that time, she will be completely speechless.

Concubine Wen, relying on her own pregnancy, really didn't pay attention to her.

Concubine Tong secretly hated in her heart.

The atmosphere in Yonghe Palace became even more stagnant. All the concubines sat in their chairs without saying a word, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.

When Concubine Wen led the gospel and Shu Chang entered the Yonghe Palace, she felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Concubine Wen didn't have the time to think too much at this time, and saluted Concubine Tong neatly.

"Exemption."

Concubine Tong said with a fake smile, "Sister Wen was so happy last night that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival that she couldn't fall asleep? I was worried that my sister was still asleep, and I was planning to send someone to invite her."

Concubine Wen said absent-mindedly: "Please trouble your concubine to worry, it's my fault that I'm late."

Concubine Wen's answer made everyone look at her, wondering if she had taken the wrong medicine today?

With Concubine Wen's temper these days, it is impossible for Concubine Tong to ridicule her like this if Concubine Wen does not ask for it back, why did she admit her mistake so obediently today?

Even Concubine Tong Gui showed some surprise on her face.

However, she didn't have time to think too much at this time, she just said a few words, and then led everyone to the Compassionate Ning Palace to pay their respects.

along the way.

Gospel secretly looked at Concubine Wen suspiciously.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Concubine Wen seemed to have something in her heart.
