The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 150
In Yulei Pavilion, the emperor sent a message to tell the vassals outside to go back separately, and Xue Li waited with him for the imperial doctors worriedly.

Are you pregnant again?So fast!
Although she no longer has so much fear of giving birth because of the smooth delivery last time, she is still a little scared when thinking about the process of pregnancy-mainly because the taste is so weird!
Thinking back to what she ate when she was pregnant last time!She made several of them for herself later, and she couldn't swallow a mouthful at all. The taste was so strong that it was enough to smell it. I really don't understand how I ate it so deliciously!

Sydney recalled, lying on the couch wanting to cry without tears.Xie Zhao sat on the side of the couch, A Yao sat on the inside of the couch, and A Yuan sat on Xie Zhao's body. The two children were obviously a bit puzzled by the situation.

Xie Zhao smiled and asked A Yao: "Do you still remember when your mother was pregnant with A Yuan?"

A Yao tilted his head and replied, "I seem to remember a little bit."

She vaguely remembered not being in the palace for a long time at that time, and staying on the boat for quite a few days.Mother vomited so badly that she couldn't eat what Mother ate - because the taste was too strange.

Then my mother's belly got bigger a little bit...ah!At that time, she thought that her mother was pregnant with "brothers and sisters", but later only the younger brother came out, and she wondered for a long time where the younger sister went!
She can't remember more.

A Yao seriously looked at Xue Li's still deflated belly, and stretched out his hand to gently touch it: "Mother, is it my sister this time?"

Sydney: "...I don't know, I only know after I give birth."

In fact, she had heard that the imperial doctor could get it out in a few months, but Xie Zhaoyi told her that it was not necessarily accurate. I heard that the five kings and seven kings were all turned into daughters before they were born-especially the seven kings. Xie Han, the little sister that Xie Zhao has been looking forward to for several months!

Thinking about it now, I still want to beat up the imperial doctor.

Soon, the imperial physicians and imperial physicians all came.Because the emperor said that he would send all the people who accompanied him on this trip, the battle seemed quite big!
——Two or 30 people entered the palace together, and they were all dressed in official uniforms, and the ceremony was also very neat. Those who didn't know would think that the emperor summoned courtiers to the court to discuss!
Then, the four imperial physicians took turns to check the pulse, and first confirmed that Sydney was really pregnant and not heatstroke; then, the rest of the imperial physicians also took the pulse one by one, moving one finger away from another and pressing it up again, Sydney almost felt as if she was about to be pressed on her wrist The illusion of getting out of the pit!

After finishing everything, they went out to discuss together, and Xue Li nervously tugged at the emperor's sleeve: "Your Majesty, is there...what's wrong?"

She usually occasionally asks the imperial physician or medical lady to take the pulse of peace. Every time she says she is healthy, she doesn't take it seriously.Seeing that he summoned so many imperial physicians, she suddenly felt nervous, wondering if she was not in good health all the time, but they didn't dare to tell her, but reported it to the emperor directly?

Xie Zhao didn't expect her to be worried about this, and touched her forehead: "It's more reassuring for them to discuss it together, after all, it's a big deal."

Xue Li let out an "oh" and waited, unable to discern the truth or falsehood of what he said, until the imperial physicians came back.

After another round of etiquette, the leading imperial physician said: "Your Majesty, Miss Ruan is indeed pregnant, and it's almost two months now."

"You said that just now." The emperor nodded, "How is the fetus?"

The imperial doctor bowed and said: "It's very good, Miss Ruan is in good health. I discussed it carefully and couldn't find anything wrong. In the future, you only need to avoid the taboo, and the other... there is no need Too careful. It’s good to move around more often, but it’s hot in summer, so you just need to avoid it.”

The imperial doctor spoke very easily, and Sydney also relaxed after listening.Then I thought about it carefully and felt that "the one that should be tabooed is to be tabooed" really does not hurt my back while standing up and talking-how painful the taboo is!For her, the eight-month taboo was more terrifying than the severe pain of giving birth!
Although the pain was heart-wrenching, it passed within a few hours, and there was still the hope that the child would be born. It was different from the pain of not being able to eat what I wanted for more than 200 days in a row!
Xie Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded to let the others retreat first, leaving only the imperial doctor who had just spoken.

The imperial doctor's surname is Yan, and he is known as the golden hand of gynecology in the Taiyuan Hospital-this name is not a joke.He had already specialized in this way during the reign of Emperor Xian. Not only did several vassal kings entrust him to take care of them in the past, but also many folk prescriptions were researched by him.

He also took care of Xue Li when she was pregnant with A Yuan, and this time the emperor still handed over the baby to him.To be honest, Imperial Physician Yan was very happy.

—— Pregnant women in such good physical condition are rare!After this job, for him, it is half of his heart to get ten times the reward!Although he said that "doctors have a parental heart", he thinks that he is not open to money, but who would be unhappy if he made more money!

Last time, he was really surprised that Ruan Shi's physical condition was so good, and he even wondered if he had a wrong pulse.It's not that he has little knowledge, it's that the situation of the Ruan family is too rare: Imperial Physician Yan has been in the palace for so many years, even though he hasn't given birth to anyone around the current emperor, he used to give birth to the late emperor's concubines more often.Concubines who have been bored in the palace for a long time, even if they are not sick or suffering, they have serious worries, and they tend to show weakness when they are pregnant.It is even more so for those who are promoted by beating maids. They used to live a hard life. They slept less and ate enough.

But Miss Ruan, she is in such good health that nothing happens!And she was also in a good mood. Although she was "thinking a lot during pregnancy" at the time, she was really just "thinking wildly", thinking about what would happen, not the "sorrowful everyday" that concubines often see .

Physician Yan was puzzled by this!In order to delve into academics, he also discussed it carefully. In the end, it was Mr. Chen Jijiang Chen who was in front of the imperial court who gave him the answer.

Chen Jijiang laughed so loudly: "Master Yan, ask around, how has Miss Ruan lived since she came to the imperial court? You can only go to bed early and not get up early, and you can call yourself what you want to eat. If you have any troubles, you can go to His Majesty directly. Eat snacks in the temple—she was still young at that time, and most of the time she would prepare yogurt, sugar steamed cheese and the like. Tell me, if she is not in good health, who can be better? "

Physician Yan understood.

Well, let's not "study academics", it's useless to study this area, she is probably the only one in the world.

——The emperor personally fed and took care of her, and personally warded off all the troubles for her. No other girl can do this!Even if the husband's family protects her, it's hard for His Majesty to protect her tightly, right?

So this time, Imperial Physician Yan didn't want to lose all of these things, neither worried that he got the wrong pulse nor studied academics, and thought very clearly that he only needed to take good care of Ruan's fetus.

On the way down the mountain, Imperial Physician Yan laughed until his beard trembled!
Xie Li was held in Xie Zhao's arms and walked down the mountain.

They avoided the noon sun in Yulei Pavilion, and ordered some light noodle soup to eat at will.Then Xie Zhao sent someone to take a copy of "Thousand Characters" to check A Yao's reciting handwriting, and Sydney sent someone to call Yu Xiang up to play with A Yuan.

It was not until the sunset was setting that the group of people walked down the mountain together.The palace people followed far away, leaving them with a peaceful beauty.

Sydney leaned in Xie Zhao's arms, and when she looked up at the sky, she saw a glowing red round disk surrounded by billowing thick clouds, which formed a layer of red-gold rim on the disk; she then pulled her eyes back , What I saw was two children walking in front with the big lion. A Yuan always wanted to pull Yu Xiang's ears, but Yu Xiang lazily pushed his head against him, and pushed A Yuan so hard that he sat on the ground up.

Ah Yuan didn't cry, he stood up and patted the ashes on his buttocks, and then went to pull Yuxiang's ears.In the end, Yuxiang was so annoyed that she yawned and went around to the other side of Ayao, meaning to let Ayao block it.

It feels so good.

Xueli laughed unconsciously, and groped for Xie Zhao's hand with the hand hanging by her side.After realizing what she meant, he grabbed her tightly and kissed her on the forehead: "We will stay in the palace for a few more days, and we will return to Luo'an after you are confinement."

Will it be too long?

Xue Li looked up at him, and finally nodded and said "yes".

When I was pregnant with A Yuan, because I was on the southern tour, the bumps were really too hard.Although it didn't affect her, it was true that those days were uncomfortable.

Now he will open his mouth to say to stay in the palace, it must be staying in the palace and it will not delay his business!She agreed with peace of mind. She originally felt that the palace was more comfortable than the palace, with more scenery and less rules, and the queen mother was not there, and many concubines did not come with her.

By the time we returned to the ice house, it was almost time to finish our meal.Sydney decided to arrange dinner, and ordered a light vegetable salted egg porridge, two kinds of pickles, plus mushroom chicken siu mai and a sesame seed cake.

Then she ordered a table of serious dishes for him and the child: steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, steamed sea bass, shrimp and asparagus, sweet and sour pork ribs;For the soup, I ordered kelp soup and hibiscus mushroom loofah soup, and asked the kitchen to see what to do, and brought four kinds of snacks—after ordering the almonds, she thought that she had never prepared such a serious meal for days !

When she arranged this, she talked to Xingren outside, and she returned to the bedroom after speaking in one breath.They didn't ask, and she didn't think about explaining, until the dishes were served, Xie Zhaoda was a little uncomfortable: "So much?"

"Well...you eat it!" Xue Li blew on the porridge in front of her, thinking about the meals of the previous days, feeling a little embarrassed, "A while ago I thought it was because I had no appetite in summer, and you are all the same, so I just prepared a light meal. Yes, now I know, don’t you…”

In fact, her taste changed because she was pregnant!She was so embarrassed that they all followed her to eat lightly!
Xie Zhao burst into laughter after hearing this: "Are you thinking too much?"

what?Sydney frowned.

According to her taste, he put a piece of magnolia slices in her porridge bowl: "Maybe you like light food because you are pregnant, but we eat it according to the taste. Otherwise, I will just eat in Qingliangdian, you Don't worry too much."

Oh, thinking about it this way, she really thinks too much...

Xue Li secretly stuck out her tongue and ate her head, and after eating, A Yao and A Yuan snatched several of her siu mai, but she ate a lot of stir-fried vegetables on the table, especially the steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli!The vermicelli are soft, the scallops are fresh, and the seasoning is authentic. When you pick it up with chopsticks, there is some soup wrapped between the vermicelli, which is full of flavor!

At the foot of the mountain outside the palace, the vassals always wanted to express their meaning, so they had a small gathering two days later. Naturally, His Majesty's younger brother was the host, and the place was also in his mansion.

The mansion was full of singing and dancing, and everyone seemed happier than having a child in their own mansion.The three kings and the four kings arrived early, and they ordered strong wine to drink, but they drank it down before the banquet started, and threw up all over the floor, Xie Han was so angry that he had no choice but to call someone to help them to rest.

In fact, Xie Han is not in a good mood. It is a good thing for Brother Huang to have another child, but in this way...Sydney wants to have a baby, he will not be able to get close to her and her nephews and nieces. The daughter who is about to be born There is no letter yet!
Xie Han gets sullen when he thinks about this, what a coincidence!How did it happen to be on him?

The fifth king, Xie Ming, knew what was on his mind, and also understood his worries that might seem a little too much to others—they were all the same, they seemed to be feudal kings under one person, but in fact, His Majesty had the final say on their honor and disgrace.Usually, they don't feel bad when they suffer a small loss, but when it comes to their children, they become very nervous.

Xie Ming could only pour wine to persuade him: "It's okay, ah. Isn't my brother and sister only six months pregnant? There are still three more months, why are you in a hurry? Think about it, it will be around the Mid-Autumn Festival, if she gives birth before that Well, if you mention it at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the brothers will help you make a fuss, and this matter will be settled. If she didn't give birth before the Mid-Autumn Festival...then there will be Double Ninth Festival!"

"...don't mention Double Ninth Festival to me!" Xie Han yelled back with Jiu Jin, Xie Ming was startled, but understood in an instant.

Shouldn't it be mentioned that one of the most important things in Chongyang is "respect for the elderly".With the relationship between His Majesty and the Empress Dowager left alone, it is not certain how this Chongyang Festival will be celebrated, let alone ask for a seal for her daughter.

Xie Ming showed embarrassment, patted him on the shoulder, and drank three cups of fine wine, Xie Han turned his head to look at him: "Fifth brother, do you have something on your mind too?"

Xie Ming sighed, shook his head, and said nothing.He was also flustered, and the reason had something to do with the Queen Mother.

The He family, the concubine of the fifth king Xie Ming, was chosen by the empress dowager five years ago.In fact, according to Xie Ming's understanding of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager definitely didn't care much about him as a concubine, she just selected a family background, appearance, and talents from the family roster and gave it to him.But this He family is really good, he helped him manage the house in an orderly manner, gave birth to a daughter for him four years ago, and the children born in the concubine are also good.

But now, isn't the empress dowager down?The He family and the Qu family did have some affection, his biological mother Cheng Taifei forced him to ask for an order to divorce his wife and show his loyalty to the emperor.

Xie Ming understands his mother's worries, and also knows that Brother Huang is very ruthless when he is ruthless.But this kind of thing, he can't do it anyway.

The He family is indeed in dire straits because of the mess of the Qu family. If the He family is divorced, he is clean, but isn't this driving the He family to death?Besides, until now, He Shi hasn't asked him to help her family. It is clear that he doesn't want to embarrass him. Could it be that He Shi cares about love, but he doesn't care about love?

Because of this, Xie Ming has been feeling a bit out of place recently.He felt guilty when he saw Mrs. He, he was also guilty when he saw his mother and concubine, and he was also guilty when he saw the emperor's brother, but he had no other choice but to endure this period of time, so he had to worry about himself.

Seeing that he didn't talk, Xie Han didn't ask any more questions. When the wine cup touched him, they each drank another glass, and they all sighed in the bottom of their hearts - the emperor's younger brother is really hard to do!

This is on the premise that their imperial brother treats his younger brothers very well.

After drinking for three rounds, the mansion became more lively.One of the chefs in Qiwang's other courtyard was hired from the local area, and served several local dishes.

One of them is called "Golden Fish Playing with Lotus".The main ingredient is actually squid, which is shaped like a goldfish and boiled in hot lard.In the middle, eggs, green beans, etc. are used to make a lotus pod, surrounded by goldfish made of squid, so it is called "golden fish playing lotus".

This dish is very particular. Not only must it look good, but it must also be hot and sour, the "goldfish" must be crisp and tender, and the "lotus pod" must be smooth, tender and delicious.

This is what a master master can do authentically.As soon as the dish was served, it really brightened the table, and everyone happened to take this dish as a new topic. After listening to the eunuch's introduction, they chatted for a while, and then praised the chef in the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

The Seven Kings smiled and held the chopsticks to pick up a "goldfish" to eat, but as soon as the chopsticks were off the plate, the goldfish trembled and its head fell off.

The palace people immediately took a breath.

There is a lot of attention on the dining table, especially the royal relatives.Food made in the shape of animals is directly composed of several parts, and those that cannot be clamped directly at a glance are not included. This kind of food itself comes up as a whole. It is most taboo to pick it up with chopsticks and the head will fall off.

Therefore, before the Seventh King could speak, Zhang Kang who was next to him turned his head and told his subordinates: "Go reward this cook with twenty boards, and let him pack up and leave."

As soon as Zhang Kang's eunuchs responded and went to work, Zhang Kang carefully looked at the expression of His Highness the Seventh Prince, but he didn't show much displeasure.

In an instant, the door opened suddenly, and several imperial guards rushed in, and the leader clasped his fists in salute: "Your Highness the Seventh."

"What's the matter?" Xie Han looked up at them, frowning slightly.

The Imperial Guard nodded: "Luo'an urgently reports that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and needs to see Her Highness. His Majesty ordered His Royal Highness to return to Luo'an Palace to serve the sick, and the ministers are ordered to escort her."

The empress dowager is seriously ill? !

All the feudal lords in the room took a breath of cold air, and looked at each other, and a sense of chilling and murderousness gradually grew in the hall, as if a mountain rain was about to come and the building was full of wind.

I don't know whether the next step will be to close the tip or a new turning point.But the situation in front of him was enough to shock Man Chao.

The empress dowager, the biological mother of the current emperor and the seventh prince, and the aunt of the vassal princes, fell ill when the emperor left her alone to escape the summer heat at Mount Ying.
