royal girl

Chapter 139 Premature Birth
Ancient women are actually quite sad. After all, it is different for a dynasty with a bald half of the head to produce an emperor who specializes in infatuation.Women can be jealous, but not jealous, but what is the difference between the two in the eyes of women?In fact, they are all the same.But men don't see it that way. Jealousy is just a small interest between husband and wife, and it's okay to do it occasionally.But jealousy is one of the seven, and if it is serious, you can divorce your wife.

Just like now, it's okay for Huiyu to be jealous, but if she is really jealous, she will be the only one in King Jing's backyard, not to mention others, even the queen, and if the emperor finds out, the first one will take it. Huiyu had the surgery.This is the reality, Huiyu has known this fact since she was born, and she can figure it out just by seeing Mrs. Dong Er being so tough, and Master Dong Er being able to keep a concubine.It's not that men are simply oppressing women, but that men use their power to empower this society to put such a shackle on women.

With a little resistance, you can be smashed to pieces.

Even though Huiyu explained to Ji Qiyu that she wanted to live a good life, she couldn't guarantee that she couldn't even openly ask, Ji Qiyu, you can't sleep with other women!
From Ji Qiyu's point of view, he can give Huiyu his heart, but it doesn't mean he has to guard his body for him.He doesn't look down on other women now, but it doesn't mean that he won't have a good match in his life.If Huiyu really said that, Ji Qiyu might think that Huiyu's head was burnt out.

After thinking so much, Huiyu didn't say anything else, just smiled slightly, lowered her eyes against Ji Qiyu, and sighed deeply in her heart.This is a thousand years away from the Three Views, which is really terrible.

Ji Qiyu didn't think so much at this time, but her mind was on Huiyu's sentence that people outside lined up. After thinking about it, she smiled, patted Huiyu's shoulder and said, "Are you looking at other people?" There are newcomers entering the palace, so you feel uneasy?"

Huiyu didn't speak, pretended not to hear.This matter is actually not a big deal. If you don’t believe me, ask Zhang Yuqiong. She will definitely answer if she is a slave sent to the door by a subordinate. What is there to worry about?In the eyes of pure ancients like Zhang Yuqiong, concubines are like slaves, unable to turn the world upside down, at most they just feel sore in their hearts, and it's over.But Huiyu is not an ancient person, so she really can't just pass through this hurdle in her heart.

But I can't say it.

So here comes the problem.

Seeing Huiyu's awkward look, Ji Qiyu really felt for the first time what it was like to be dumbfounded.Looking at Huiyu's head curled up in his arms, he said in a low voice, "There are so many things going on around the house now, and you are pregnant. Even if I am divided into pieces, I can't keep busy. I don't have the time to find someone else." No matter how other people's vinegar is put on his head, it is really wronged.

Are you busy now, or will you not be busy in the future?

Huiyu couldn't even ask this question, but if you don't look for it now, you can be happy now, and let's talk about it later... later.

Seeing Huiyu's smile, Ji Qiyu shook her head, how could she embarrass herself like this.

"There are a lot of things outside, I will be busy recently. You don't have to wait for me to eat at night, and I will accompany you when the work is over. You don't have to worry about things outside the house. Someone's business will be posted when the time comes." The gift is over and the work is over, people don't have to go. I have already reported to the empress in the palace, and I will not enter the palace until after the birth to pay my respects, and then I will make a good apology to the empress..."

Listening to Ji Qiyu explaining so many trivial things to her in detail, it is really hard to imagine that the aloof male god in her heart before would have such a life-oriented side.Generally speaking, men don't care about the backyard, it's women's business.Obviously, now Ji Qiyu didn't intend to find a side concubine to help Huiyu take care of the central concubine, nor did she think that Huiyu would have to run outside the palace for the sake of the palace's face.After all, there will be a lot of things in the second half of the year. There are three princes who marry the princess, not to mention trivial matters such as recognizing relatives, and Huiyu is going to celebrate the new year with her belly in her arms. The errand, now Ji Qiyu can save her for her, Huiyu only needs to have a good pregnancy at home, thinking of this makes her very excited.

It is reasonable for her not to marry the princess, but when she thought of this, she raised her head and looked at Ji Qiyu, "I really don't have to enter the palace to kowtow during the Chinese New Year? This... can it work?" Chinese New Year is a big festival, even if there is a pregnant concubine The concubine may not be able to avoid it, can she do it?
"At that time, I will say hello to my mother in advance, and I will just hide if I am sick, so I don't want to go out for a few months." Ji Qiyu looked at her and said.

You can't go out, or you were still walking around alive and kicking a year ago, and you shrunk and called yourself sick when you kowtowed during the New Year salute, only ghosts would believe it.

"You are so kind." Huiyu is really happy now, just think about the New Year's Eve who don't have to kneel and kowtow in front of Fengqi Palace, don't have to look at other people's weird faces, and don't have to worry about accidentally killing her. If there is an accident, all you need is to wait in the mansion to have a baby. Huiyu really doesn't think she should be too happy.

Seeing Huiyu's happy face.Ji Qiyu thought it was a little funny, patted her and said, "Aren't you jealous now?"

Huiyu rolled his eyes at him, even if he was jealous, she couldn't say it, but she would spoil the scenery, thanked her with a smile, and said, "It's all right now, I'm worried, if I enter the palace with a big belly in the New Year I kowtow and salute, and I don’t know if I can survive it.” It’s not easy to be a royal daughter-in-law, she usually looks decent, but on such a major festival day, kneeling and saluting takes a few hours, and the physical strength is really poor. Can't resist.

There are still taboos during the Chinese New Year, and it is not easy to ask an imperial doctor to check the pulse, which indicates that in the coming year, every thought will be sick.Everything in the palace is festive. Unless you are going to die of illness, you have to carry it hard.Otherwise, the emperor would think that you are unlucky if you find out, and you will see a doctor after the new year, and you will definitely be left out in the future. Who would like such an unlucky concubine.Over the years, it has gradually become a rule that cannot be declared orally agreed upon.

Huiyu didn't want to embarrass herself, but she couldn't resist the palace rules by herself. She thought that it would be a little harder during the Chinese New Year, but Ji Qiyu didn't expect to do it.Thinking of this, she looked up at him, "Will it cause you trouble?" After all, it would not be a good thing if someone found out.

"You treat everyone else as a fool. When you see that you are sick, and at this time again, you must have guessed everything."

Huiyu's face turned pale, "Wouldn't that be a deception?" This crime is the most painful.

"So try not to go out." Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu as if facing an enemy, and laughed out loud, "It's not a big deal, can the emperor still stare at the backyard of his son's house? As long as this matter Once you know Enzhun, that's it. There are a lot of things during the Chinese New Year, and the emperor doesn't have time to stare at you as a princess."

Huiyu's face turned dark, she clearly didn't mean that.However, Ji Qiyu's intentional misinterpretation was to forgive her, so she didn't care about him.

"As long as it's okay, I'm afraid of causing trouble for you." Now that King Ning is still fighting with him, it will be bad for him if it becomes an excuse.

"What's the matter, if the master can't even protect his own woman, he will be useless." Ji Qiyu said domineeringly.

Seeing his domineering appearance, Huiyu laughed, thinking about it, it was indeed feasible.Xia Bingyu's delivery date is coming around the Chinese New Year, and she must have told the empress to stay at home when the time comes.As long as the members of King Ning's family don't make troubles, they can basically get through it safely.

Huiyu thought that this would work, and the shadow on her head disappeared, and she became happy in an instant.

"That's true. When a woman marries a man, she must marry someone who can protect her. Otherwise, what's the point?" Huiyu replied happily.

Ji Qiyu was speechless for a while, it didn't sound right to her, but she couldn't make a mistake for a while, could it be that the way he listened was wrong?
Ji Qiyu took care of the outside affairs, and didn't let Huiyu worry about them at all. Nanny You and Mama Zhong took care of the family affairs, so she was just a hands-off shopkeeper. It has become a pattern of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and living like a pig.

After Huiyu became pregnant, there was indeed a bit of trouble in the mansion at first, and everyone kept their eyes wide open to see who the prince would go to first.As a result, it has been one or two months, and it has taken root between the main courtyard and the study every day, and the boiling little thoughts in the palace gradually cooled down, and there was a sudden silence.

Huiyu is quite satisfied with the current situation. It's not that there is no thought in the palace, but Ji Qiyu has a cleanliness habit, and even concubines and concubines look down on her, not to mention those girls, and she doesn't even glance at the end of her eyes.For the first time, Huiyu felt that cleanliness was so cute. She decided not to dislike Ji Qiyu's gifted attribute for the rest of her life.Secondly, Ji Qiyu was also really busy, three princes got married in a row, and he supervised the construction of the palace, so there were no big things, but the trivial things were really too numerous to count.What's more, they just got started with the shipping business, and they have no clue to sort it out slowly, and Jiawang is holding back, not to mention that one person is too busy, and there are also cases where one person wishes to be divided into four.

In September, when Dong Feiling got married, Huiyu was pregnant and couldn't go, but she asked Zhong's mother to go back in person to congratulate her.Not long after the cold weather, in November, Xue Runiang gave birth to a son, named Xingyan, and Huiyu sent someone to congratulate her and sent a gift to express her congratulations.Because of this incident, Huiyu was in a good mood for a few days. After all, it was not easy for Xue Runiang to have today.In ancient times, being born as a man was the luckiest thing, but being born as a woman would be unlucky.For example, Xue Runiang, his father used her marriage in exchange for benefits. If it weren't for her mother's protection, he might only be able to marry a businessman as his wife at this time, and it will be even more difficult for the children to survive in the future.Although a merchant is rich, he is humble, and it is even more difficult for the son of a merchant to become an official.So Xue Runiang was able to marry a son of Hanlin, and now she has won the son in one fell swoop, and her position in her husband's family is considered stable.Not to mention Xue Runiang, a girl whose status is rather embarrassing and has fallen into a family, even if it is Dong Wan, Xia Bingyu, Chu Jing, Qin Roujia and the like, what about the eldest daughter of the aristocratic family?
Therefore, in ancient times, reincarnated as a woman, it is a precipice to be unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Even if Huiyu is not thinking about her own status, but only thinking about her child, she still thinks that the one in her belly should be a son.If she is unlucky enough to be born a daughter, then she can only hope that Ji Qiyu will finally ascend to that position and become a princess, how dare the son-in-law take concubines?Tired of life crooked it!

Huiyu thought about it and thought about it, and it spread thousands of miles away. There was a kang burning in the house, which was as warm as spring compared to the severe cold outside the window.The curtain was opened, and Ji Qiyu strode in, and Miao Rongguang, who was outside the curtain, put down his hand and guarded the door.Because it was too cold, Huiyu asked the servants to wait in the small room outside, and she heard something when she yelled a little louder.Otherwise, she felt a little unbearable to stand at the door in such a cold day and let the cold wind blow.

Just because of this, Ji Qiyu still laughed at her.A slave is born to serve his master, what kind of master should he serve if he can't even stand the cold?Who can use such a slave?Just dragged it out, hit the board and kicked it out.

Huiyu fell silent.

Compared with the real ancients, she is indeed more truthful in some things, but Ji Qiyu said, Huiyu did this, she was soft-hearted, and he let her go.Sometimes I really can't figure it out. When she becomes ruthless, she kills without blinking an eye.But if one's heart is soft, one sees an ant crawling around, crushed to death, why is such a temperament so strange?

Huiyu's stomach was visibly swollen now, and when she saw Ji Qiyu coming in, she hurriedly said, "There is hot water in the room, you should wash your hands and face first, it's hot."

Ji Qiyu walked halfway and then turned a corner into the clean room. It was not the coldest time outside, and Yao Huan was always afraid that he would freeze, so she asked herself to wash her hands and face with hot water when she came back.After washing and changing clothes, he came out, sat opposite Huiyu and asked, "How do you feel today?"

It was a little cloudy outside, and the lights were lit early in the house.The ancient houses were not the same as the present ones. They all had relatively deep windows and small windows, so the rate of seeing light was a bit low.It's okay on sunny days, but when it's cloudy, you have to turn on the lights in advance, otherwise you won't be able to see clearly.There was a palace lantern on the kang table, covered with a layer of tulle, which was more permeable than paper. Huiyu sat by the lantern and listened to Ji Qiyu asking her questions every day. She thought it was funny, but she still said: Very well, Cheng Qizhou takes his pulse every three days, so there’s nothing wrong with it.” Cheng Qizhou is the grandson of Imperial Physician Cheng who has retired, and Imperial Physician Cheng is very skilled in medicine, but his son really has no talent in this area. Fortunately, grandson has this wisdom root, otherwise Cheng Tai doctor would really be depressed to death.Although Cheng Qizhou is only in his early years, his medical skills are very good, especially good at gynecology.Imperial Physician Cheng is too old to be on the go all the time, and Ji Qiyu only feels at ease with Imperial Physician Cheng, so Imperial Physician Cheng let his grandson show his face in front of King Jing if he wanted to.He was not at ease and just let his grandson enter the palace to go to the imperial hospital to start from the bottom. It would be better to start from the outside and experience some worldly wisdom before entering the palace.Because Prince Jing accepted death and had a violent temper, Imperial Physician Cheng was a little worried about sending his grandson here, but he was much more at ease than entering the palace.

Therefore, Cheng Qizhou is basically a gynecologist in Prince Jing's mansion now.

Huiyu laughed when she thought of this.

Ji Qiyu was still very critical of Cheng Xian, who was old and cunning, but they sent their grandson here, so he reluctantly let him go.Fortunately, Cheng Qizhou's medical skills are not bad, Ji Qiyu prescribed several prescriptions, and Ji Qiyu took them out for the director of the Imperial Hospital to have a look, knowing that there was indeed no deviation, so he was relieved.

"Cheng Qizhou has low qualifications after all." Ji Qiyu always said it bitterly.

Huiyu will light some wax for Cheng Xian, please take care.

After waving his hand to let everyone in the room go down, Ji Qiyu got up again and went to Huiyu's side, then lowered his head and said softly: "There is news from the Marquis of Bei'an."

Huiyu was shocked, "Really?" Touching his chest, he said, "I've been worrying about this for several months, and finally the news came. What did my grandfather say?" When I wake up, I feel restless.

"There have been some developments, but I'm not sure yet. Telling you is to reassure you, don't take this matter to heart." Ji Qiyu said, "The Marquis of Bei'an will follow up on this matter personally. You still have nothing to worry about. I have already greeted Master Wen, and there are indeed some new discoveries after the wind was released by King Jia. I have already written a letter to the Marquis of Bei An. Things are going well and things can be found very quickly.”

Finding it is nothing, the key is can you get it back?

Huiyu thought for a while without asking, after all, it is not easy to figure out the movement of the soldier talisman first.

"I don't have to worry if you say that." This is the truth, and Huiyu is really relieved. With her grandfather's shrewdness, since this matter is involved, she will definitely not give up if there is no result, so it's okay. I'm so worried.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Xueying said through the curtain that Huiyu's snacks were ready, should they be delivered now.Huiyu has been feeling hungry lately, so she asked them to bring it up without even thinking about it. Turning around, she saw Ji Qiyu looking at the hourglass on the window sill, and hurriedly said: "I just feel hungry recently, and I have to eat every day." Five or six meals."

Ji Qiyu looked at the time and it was only half afternoon, so she frowned and asked, "Didn't you have enough for lunch?"

"I'm full." Huiyu replied, "I'm eating a meal for two by myself now. I must be hungry. It's not a big deal. Even if Dr. Cheng said not to eat too much, I only eat [-]% full every meal. , that’s how you get hungry fast.”

Hearing what Huiyu said, Ji Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon Huiyu's dim sum was brought up, a small plate of fried dumplings stuffed with shrimp, the bottom was fried brown and crispy, it was delicious at first sight.A bowl of egg custard, steamed and tender, lighted with sesame oil, sprinkled with coriander powder, and separated by some salty pickles, the color is clear and bright, and it is comfortable to look at.In addition, there are several steaming jujube cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and various steamed and fried snacks that have just come out of the pan, and the table is full.

Putting it on so enthusiastically, Ji Qiyu was afraid that Huiyu would be overwhelmed by the amount of food, so she ate with her.There were whole shrimps in the fried dumplings, which tasted so delicious in his mouth that he ate three or four in a row before stopping his chopsticks.

Huiyu saw that Ji Qiyu liked it a lot, and said, "If you like it, let them bring it over at night."

Ji Qiyu nodded, and put one in a bowl for Huiyu.Whole prawns are used as fillings, so it goes without saying that she must have come up with the idea.I don't know why there are so many thoughts on eating, I almost laugh when I think about it.

Seeing Ji Qiyu's inexplicable smile, Huiyu couldn't understand, how could he laugh after eating fried dumplings?

After eating and taking the things off the table, Huiyu patted her stomach and said to Ji Qiyu: "This November and December are really busy for the three princes to get married one after another. I don't need to go. Take care of yourself, too."

"Now I don't need to keep an eye on it, there is the Inner Palace. I'll just finish the mess in the Palace and I'll be fine. The rest is someone else's work." Ji Qiyu smiled when Huiyu cared about him, "If you feel bored and panic, let your mother-in-law come and talk with you, because my family members don't need to find it troublesome."

In this cold weather, Mrs. Dong is running around every day just to talk to her. Is this a pastime?This is slippery!

However, speaking of it, in Ji Qiyu's eyes, Mrs. Dong can often come into the mansion to talk with Huiyu, that is a very decent thing.Which princess can let her mother come over at any time so freely!Before getting married, the son-in-law has to please his mother-in-law. After getting married, he will become the mother-in-law in turn, worrying about whether his daughter has been wronged.Ji Qiyu is the prince, the son of a dragon and the grandson of a phoenix, while Mrs. Dong Er is just the wife in charge of the second room of the Duke's mansion, so her status is naturally suppressed.Ji Qiyu did this because she valued the Yue family very much, and to lift up the Yue family was also an act of giving face to her princess, but in Huiyu's view, she just kept in mind the matter of giving face like this, if it really made Mrs. Dong see the sky Leaving and leaving, isn't this a nonsense in this cold weather!
"My mother is also a mess at home. As you know, my concubine brother, reading is not that kind of material. My mother is entangled by my father. Seeing that he has a talent for business, isn't he busy with this matter?" I don't have any urgent matters here, so I won't let her trouble you." Half a month ago, Mrs. Dong Er came to visit Huiyu and talked about Dong Yunxuan.Mr. Dong Er is now the eldest son at the border, he can't see and touch, and the second son doesn't look like a great weapon in front of his eyes.Mrs. Dong was so entangled by him that she was getting angry at home about this matter. Huiyu didn't want to make Mrs. Dong get angry again at this time, so she hurriedly put the matter down.

Ji Qiyu raised her eyebrows, looked at Huiyu and said, "What's the big deal? If you don't want to see him, I'll send him to the south." It's easy.

Huiyu quickly waved her hands, "No, actually this is my parents' own business, what my mother wants is my father's attitude, let's not get involved." If Dong Yunxuan was really sent to the south, this matter If it gets out, it's not sure what it will be said to be like.Firstly, it has a bad reputation for Ji Qiyu, and secondly, this is the Dong family's affairs after all, if Ji Qiyu gets involved, it will inevitably feel like dominating others.Huiyu didn't want Ji Qiyu to be charged with this crime for himself, but it was sweet for him to think about her like this.

When Huiyu said that, Ji Qiyu didn't force her, but nodded, "As long as you don't bother." He didn't want to see Huiyu make himself unhappy and work hard all day for other people's affairs.In his place, the Yue family is someone else's family!

If Huiyu knew that Ji Qiyu thought so, she would probably be stunned, this is too overbearing!

Throughout November and December, King Huai, King Yi, and King Jia got married one after another, and the capital was bustling for two full months.However, the family background of the three concubines in the back is much worse than that of the previous brothers. After all, there are only a few daughters in the family, so it is impossible for every prince to marry.In this way, the family life of the next three concubines was overwhelmed, and King Ning himself married the eldest daughters of two aristocratic families. After being compared for a while, gossip and rumors abounded in Beijing.

After Huiyu knew this, she was very happy. If she is too eye-catching, she will always be coveted by others.

At the end of the year, another big event happened!

Xia Bingyu was supposed to give birth in the new year, but she gave birth prematurely when she entered the palace in the new year.

Originally, Xia Bingyu had already reached this month, and the empress had already exempted her from entering the palace, allowing her to wait for the birth at home with peace of mind.Who knew that Xia Zhaoyi fell ill at this time, and his condition was so severe that it seemed that he would die all of a sudden.Concubine Ning went to the palace to visit immediately when she got the news, a daughter-in-law has to be filial no matter what, how can she not go at this time, who knows that something will happen if she goes there.

At that time, Dong Wan also entered the palace with Princess Ning.

When I heard that the accident happened, Dong Wan was by the side.

Huiyu was dumbfounded when she heard the news.
