Chapter 178: As tall as the third brother?
The delicate little hands pinched a small red silk knot out of the mouth.
"Hehehe, mother, the blessing has been enjoyed by your son."
Xin Chang was so grief-stricken and angry that she drank two large bowls of dumpling soup with tears in her eyes to help digest the food.
It's so unfair. I had to pay my respects so early in the morning, and I ate a whole plate of dumplings but didn't get any good results.
The first "baji" of the new year was blocked by that crazy Lipin. Xin Chang was already feeling unhappy, and now she felt that she was the one who should burn incense and worship Maitreya Buddha.
"Linglong is blessed. She will grow taller this year." Concubine Hua patted Linglong's little head.
This girl's vertical growth rate is really slow.
"As tall as Third Brother?"
Concubine Hua:... Just pretend I didn’t say anything.
After breakfast, Lanzhi changed the drink of digestive tea for Xin Changzai, and Xin Changzai finally started to complain about today's greetings.
"Your Majesty, tell me, is Concubine Li crazy? Has she forgotten how the Queen trained her to regain her favor last year?" Concubine Xin was indignant.
Hua Fei heard something else in Lipin's words. Lipin was not crazy, she wanted to surrender to her again.
I have finally passed this bad luck to the Queen, I can't let her get back at me again.
"Your Majesty, Ling Xiang betrayed you like that and joined the Queen. Aren't you angry?"
"People go to high places and water flows to low places. The Yikun Palace is too small to accommodate people, so it is reasonable for them to find another way out." Concubine Hua was no longer angry when she heard Ling Xiang.
Why get angry at a dying person?
What's more, Concubine Hua now wants to see whether Ling Xiang will get pregnant.
There are many palace maids like Ling Xiang in Yikun Palace, who often go into the palace to inhale the Huanyi incense. However, because they are on duty outside most of the time, they don't spend the whole day soaking in the Huanyi incense.
In addition, she has been using Huanyixiang 2.0 for the past two years, and has distributed tonic medicine to the palace maids to regulate their bodies. If Ling Xiang can get pregnant, it will prove that Hua Fei's remedies are still effective.
What's more, given Ling Xiang's personality, if she betrays herself now, she might betray the Queen if the Queen blocks her way in the future.
"Your Majesty, you are really in a stable mood now." Xin Chang pinched a piece of milk skin pastry and put it into her mouth.
Hua Fei frowned, feeling that what Xin Chang said was not good, "Didn't you just have breakfast? Why are you eating snacks again?"
"I drank too much digestive soup, and I'm a little hungry."
Hua Fei:...
------------
On the first day of the New Year, women from the Lingguan court served in the emperor's bedchamber.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a woman from the Ling official slept with the emperor.
··· ··· ··· ···
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the woman from Lingguan still slept with him.
Concubine Hua looked at the records in the Jingshifang and thought that Ling Xiang had received so much love and care, so if her body was in good condition, she should be able to get pregnant.
Concubine Hua even asked Zhou Ninghai to inquire about it. Every time Ling Xiang came back from the emperor's bedchamber, the empress did not send her any contraceptive soup, nor did she bestow any items containing musk.
I guess the Queen also knows that the Huan Yi Xiang incense in the Yikun Palace will damage the foundation of a woman's pregnancy, so she is so relieved.
From this perspective, it seems that the Queen had planned to use Ling Xiang in advance. A woman who cannot get pregnant and is greedy for favor is really a good weapon.
Ever since she heard Xin Chang say that Lipin was planning to surrender to her, Hua Fei asked Zhou Ninghai to stop the three ghosts from going on duty.
But before Concubine Li could take any action, she was really scared crazy by those three ghosts.
Wei Lin said that recently Concubine Li no longer insisted on taking pregnancy-maintaining medicine, but instead drank calming soup, two bowls a night, for fear that she would not be able to sleep and see something she shouldn't see outside the window.
Naturally, from the first to the tenth day of the New Year, Concubine Hua did not leave Yikun Palace at all, let alone pay her respects to the Queen.
It snowed several times in a row in the Forbidden City, and the concubines who went out on snowy days were a little envious of Concubine Hua.
There are thirty days in this month. You don't need to pay respects for the entire ten days. You need to pay respects on the remaining days. You can be late if you want to or leave early if you want to.
Normally, there is nothing wrong with this, it's just Concubine Hua being arrogant, but when encountering bad weather, this good thing becomes apparent.
Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong, who had not seen Concubine Hua for a long time, were very worried about her. On this day, when the three of them got together to copy Buddhist scriptures and embroider prayer flags for the Empress Dowager, they talked about Concubine Hua again.
"This Concubine Hua has not shown up for a long time. For the past ten days, it has been the woman from Lingguan who has been favored. Even my sister has rarely appeared..." An Lingrong put down the silk thread in her hand and said to Zhen Huan who was copying scriptures with a pen.
"The Emperor hasn't been here often lately, so we have time to embroider the prayer flags that the Queen Mother wants. If you are the only one busy, wouldn't it delay your efforts to make money?"
Zhen Huan is much calmer than An Lingrong.
That Lingguan woman was just a temporary novelty to the emperor.
When the emperor gets over his novelty, he will still think of himself.
Zhen Huan was not worried at all about her importance in the emperor's heart.
"That's what I said," Shen Meizhuang arranged the silk thread in her hand, "but seeing that Ling is getting more and more arrogant, while Concubine Hua is staying at home and rarely going out, I feel really bad."
Zhen Huan paused with the pen in her hand. Judging from everyone's current situation in the palace, Concubine Hua was indeed being suppressed by the Queen. In the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Hua was a little weak.
Hua Fei: That’s great. There are times when I can make people feel pity for me.
Zhen Huan thought of the friendship that Concubine Hua had shown her before she was favored, and raised her eyes to the other two people and said, "Why don't we go and see Concubine Hua together?"
"I'm still thinking about the taste of the hotpot I had in Yikun Palace last year." Zhen Huan wanted to eat spicy food.
An Lingrong paused while embroidering the prayer flags, her eyes sparkling with light, "Great, only the two elder sisters went last year, and my younger sister didn't even get to eat."
"Now that I have given birth to Jinghe, I have no dietary restrictions. Your suggestion is very good." Shen Meizhuang said.
"When it comes to fresh seasonal vegetables, where in this palace can compare to Yiku Palace?" Concubine Chun also walked in from outside the door with a smile.
Concubine Hua: I have a reasonable suspicion that you are not here to visit me, but to take advantage of the Yikun Palace.
When she heard that Sister Zhen was going to Yikun Palace to eat hot pot, Chun Changzai remembered the last time she had a vinegar hot pot with Sister Xin Changzai in Yikun Palace. The mushrooms there were really fresh and tender.
"Come to think of it, Lingrong hasn't been there before." Zhen Huan thought of Chun'er who seemed to have eaten hot pot in Yikun Palace, and was afraid that An Lingrong would feel unbalanced, so she quickly pointed out this mystery, "It seems that she must go today."
"It just so happens that my palace received some peppers from the Shu region as tribute from the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago. How about asking the kitchen to make some hot pot base and bring it to the Yikun Palace?"
Do what you say, hit it off immediately, and act decisively.
Hua Fei: Has any of you asked for my opinion?
