Chapter 288: Behind the scenes, Xiaojiu and others work together to shut up Youyou
Just now in Fengyi Palace, the Queen asked her to leave. I wonder if there is something confidential that she cannot listen to.
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei. The pair of bright star eyes were staring at him without blinking. He opened his mouth but did not say a word.
This matter was originally his own business. Speaking it out would only put pressure on Xiaojiu.
Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan's hesitation and knew that it was a state secret and could not be said.
"It doesn't matter if your highness doesn't say it. I don't have to hear it."
Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei for a while, and his eyes moved down to her belly. She was wearing a light green dress, and the waist was flat and visible.
The most effective way is to make Xiaojiu pregnant in a short time to stop the gossip.
Shen Chuwei was stared at by those sparkling phoenix eyes. She felt a little pressured for some reason. They met every day. Is it necessary to stare at each other so fiercely?
"Your Highness, do you still want tea?"
"No." Xiao Jinyan put the teacup back on the low table and saw the lotus on the low table, still in full bloom.
In the past half month, the petals of the lotus are still gorgeous, with no signs of withering.
He raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, "The lotus is well taken care of."
Shen Chuwei looked at the lotus with great pride, and it would be fine to keep it for a few more months.
Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "No matter how long and how well you take care of it, it will eventually wither."
Shen Chuwei lay on the low table, her slender fingers gently stirring water on the petals, "I have a way to keep the lotus in full bloom forever."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Really? What's Xiaojiu's way?"
Shen Chuwei said again: "But I won't use this method to keep the lotus forever."
Xiao Jinyan: "Why?"
"This is the law of nature, people are powerless to stop it. The lotus can bloom for so long, it's already a happy thing." Shen Chuwei paused here, "Flowers and fruits, flowers wither before they can bear fruit."
Xiao Jinyan was stunned at first, then relieved: "I understand, I didn't expect Xiaojiu to have such a high level of comprehension."
Shen Chuwei stared at the water lily and laughed twice, only when it bears fruit can you eat lotus seeds!
Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei with relief, she stared at the water lily with curved eyebrows, thinking of the way she picked lotus pods last year.
Suddenly, I began to doubt whether her realization was for the so-called natural law or for the lotus seed.
The news that Shen Chuwei was not easy to get pregnant gradually spread in the Eastern Palace.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that Shen Liangdi was the most favored, but she had not gotten pregnant yet.
The imperial physician's diagnosis of difficulty in getting pregnant became a topic of conversation after dinner.
The happiest person was Xueyan. She was so happy when she heard the news.
"So what if you served the emperor the day before yesterday? Even if you served the emperor many times, it would be in vain if you can't get pregnant."
Shuiyao showed a happy expression: "Princess, you can rest assured to recuperate now. You can serve the emperor when your face is better."
Xueyan stared at her face in the bronze mirror for a while and felt better than the day before. She ordered: "Bring some warm water. I want to wash my face and apply some ointment. I can serve the emperor as soon as I get better."
"I will go right away." Shuiyao happily went to fetch water.
After Xueyan entered the Eastern Palace, Chang Liangyuan was very depressed these days because she knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Xueyan would be the future crown princess.
"My lady, I heard that Concubine Shen is weak and it's not easy for her to get pregnant." Huaixiang heard the news and couldn't wait to tell Chang Liangyuan.
Chang Liangyuan grabbed Huaixiang's hand and asked, "Are you sure you heard it right?"
Huaixiang said, "My lady, I didn't hear it wrong. It came from the Queen's Palace. It must be right."
Chang Liangyuan gradually smiled, and the depression in her heart was finally relieved a lot. "What does it matter if Concubine Shen is favored? In the palace, if a woman can't get pregnant, what's the use of the great favor?"
Huaixiang nodded in agreement, "My lady is right. I see that Concubine Xue is not favored either. She fell ill a few days after entering the East Palace and couldn't sleep with her."
When mentioning Concubine Xue, Chang Liangyuan thought of the day when she lost the game and lost face.
She ordered, "Huaixiang, come over here."
Huaixiang lowered her head and came over, and Chang Liangyuan whispered a few words.
Huaixiang nodded, "I know."
The garden on the west side of the East Palace is full of flowers and green trees.
"I clearly took this road today, how come I can't find it?"
"If the young lady knew, she would definitely scold me."
Huaixiang stood on the road with her head down, looking like she was about to cry.
When Shuiyao passed by, she heard someone talking, stopped and walked over, and saw Huaixiang and another maid looking for something?
Huaixiang looked at the maid who was traveling with her, "Haven't you found it yet?"
"Sister Huaixiang, I haven't found it." The maid asked while looking, "Sister Huaixiang, what is so important?"
"It's a lucky bag for praying for a child. The old man specially prayed for the young lady at the Temple of Sound outside the palace. Put it next to the pillow when you sleep at night. It's very effective. Look for it quickly, or you will be scolded if you lose it."
"Sister Huaixiang, could it be left in Xinlan Palace?"
"That makes sense, go back and look for it."
The two of them left in a hurry after talking.
Shui Yao looked at the two people who had already walked away, and her eyes looked at the red lucky bag under the flowers. She took a few steps forward, bent down to pick it up, and looked at it in her palm for a long time.
The red lucky bag had the words "praying for a child" embroidered on it with golden silk thread.
Shui Yao happily took the lucky bag back to Qimeng Hall and told Xue Yan what she saw on the way.
Xue Yan asked: "Where is the lucky bag? Bring it to me to see."
Shuiyao took out the lucky bag from her arms and eagerly handed it to Xue Yan, "Princess, this is it."
Xue Yan picked up the lucky bag from her hand, turned it over and looked at it a few times, her eyes full of doubts: "Is this lucky bag really useful?"
"I heard Huaixiang say that he has a nose and eyes. It should be true. If it were false, Huaixiang wouldn't cry anxiously." Shuiyao said.
Xue Yan looked at the lucky bag in her hand, still a little unbelievable, could she ask for a child?
Light time
A woman's crying voice came from Xinlan Palace.
"If you can't even handle this little thing, what use do you have?"
"Little Master, this slave did not lose it on purpose."
Shuiyao recognized that the voices were those of Chang Liangyuan and Huai Xiang. She turned around and trotted back, relaying what she saw and heard to Xue Yan.
"Princess, this slave looks like you are really useful."
After hearing Shuiyao's words, Xue Yan now believed her, "That night when I go to bed, I will put it next to my pillow. After two days when my face feels better, I will ask His Highness to come over for dinner."
Shui Yao said: "This slave will help the princess wash her face and apply ointment again so that she can regain her beauty as soon as possible."
Hehuan Hall
After Shen Chuwei finished his dinner, he took out his drawing board and planned to draw.
She agreed to Xiao Jinyan's painting of two people, but she never started painting because she had no inspiration.
Xiao Jinyan finished reviewing the memorial and came to Hehuan Hall early, planning to work hard to get Xiaojiu pregnant with the child as soon as possible.
