Concubine Biography

Chapter 16

The two new concubines were Zhou Shi and Yan Shi. Although the concubines were not required to serve tea, Su Shi still led the crowd to meet the two new concubines.

Fu'er heard that these two were the legendary "Yangzhou skinny horses".

The so-called Yangzhou skinny horses are all women with good color, light body, good at singing and dancing, and good at pampering.When Grandma Liu said it, she used an extremely weird tone, which seemed to be envious and extremely contemptuous.

"Has Mammy seen them?" Fu'er asked curiously.

Nanny Liu laughed at herself, "Ma'am, women like us spread the news the fastest, but it's not easy to be close to them, it's just that those 'skinny horses' are beautiful, and I think these two girls are also very good." pretty."

Chunlan moved to the side and asked, "Compared to Mrs. Huang?"

Mammy Liu whispered in horror, "My aunt, Mrs. Huang has passed away, don't mention her anymore."

After thinking about it, a strange look appeared on Liu Mama's face, "Maybe Mrs. Huang is also a 'skinny horse'...."

"Okay!" Fu'er didn't want to listen anymore.

Whenever Huang's family is mentioned, she will think of Li Jiarong.

Li Jiarong disappeared after attending bedtime last time, as if he was busy with court affairs, Fu'er shook her head and put him away from her heart, it has nothing to do with her where he likes to go.

After hearing what the little girl said, Fu'er immediately packed up and went to the main courtyard.

Before the others arrived, Mrs. Su was wearing a slightly spacious dress, with round cheeks and a very good complexion. She said to Fu'er with a smile, "Sister, sit down."

"Thank you, ma'am." Fu'er bowed and sat in the second seat below Su's head.

Su said with a smile, "My sister is polite, my sister has always been obedient, and she is the first one to pay her respects every time she comes to the main courtyard."

Fu'er was ashamed, she usually came in time, neither early nor late.How can Su Shi say that it is the earliest every time, Su Shi is clearly alluding to others.

"My concubine pays her respects to the empress." Yang came in proudly, leading a little man in a fine dress and a jade crown.

Fu'er hurriedly stood up and went forward to salute, "My concubine pays her respects to the side concubine, I have seen the eldest son."

Yang sneered at Qianxi's Fu Fu'er, "Sister Chen, why did you come so early again? Didn't you agree yesterday that we will come together today to say hello?" She looked at Su Shi Weifu, "Sister Chen After all, I am younger and disturb my sister, please forgive me."

Su Shi took the words naturally, "Sister Yang's words are off the mark. Sister Chen has always been cautious. She is the most obedient in the palace."

Fu'er lowered her head, Su's and Yang's were still the same, and whoever was caught would use it to squeeze the other party.

But she was quite surprised to see Li Peiyuan today.

Mrs. Yang kept saying that Li Peiyuan was weak and would not let him out of the yard. Li Jiarong seemed to value the eldest son very much, so Mrs. Su did not dare to attack Li Peiyuan.

"Peiyuan has seen the concubine mother."

Li Peiyuan bowed upright, Su's face was full of love, "Peiyuan get up quickly, are you feeling better today?"

Fu'er raised her head slightly to look at Li Peiyuan, she looked like Yang's, her complexion was a little yellow, and her body was very thin. She really didn't look healthy, but she acted very generously. It could be seen that Yang's carefully raised her son.

Looking at Mrs. Yang, she really looked satisfied.

Li Peiyuan stood up unhurriedly, "Thank you, concubine mother, for your concern, Peiyuan is much better."

Su Shi nodded with concern, "It's good that I feel better, this kid..."

Before he could finish speaking, the curtain had already been lifted, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Yuan also arrived. Mrs. Wang's lower abdomen was slightly protruding. At this moment, she was protecting her belly with one hand and her waist with the other. She was slowly approaching with the help of a little maid. There is a natural blush on the face.

"My concubine greets the concubine, the concubine, and the concubine. I have seen Mrs. Chen." She slowly knelt down, but she couldn't kneel down for a long time. Compared with Yuan Shi, who moved neatly, she was even more Look special.

Seeing her, Su's expression turned cold, and before he finished speaking, Yang waved, and Li Peiyuan stood beside Yang.

"Excuse me, you are a person with two bodies, please sit down."

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Su timidly, and answered respectfully, and the little maid helped her to sit down.But Yuan Shi was not exempted from sitting, so he could only stand aside.

Yang snorted coldly, stretched out her jade-like hand to look at it, and said leisurely, "Sister Wang seems to be more than five months old, right?"

Wang patted her stomach and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concubine's concubine's concern. The concubine is indeed five months pregnant."

Fu'er looked at Yang Shi, not understanding what Yang Shi meant by asking this question.Mrs. Su also looked at Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Seeing how inconvenient Sister Wang is, I thought that Ms. Wang was pregnant for seven or eight months, and I almost thought that my memory was wrong. "

Wang's face paled instantly, and she smiled dryly, "The side concubine is joking."

Yuan Shi interjected at the right time, "Haven't the two new sisters arrived yet?"

Wang Shi immediately smiled gratefully at Yuan Shi beside her, and Yuan Shi also gave her a reassuring look.

Fu'er couldn't help sighing secretly, after all, they were sisters who had lived in the same courtyard for many years, so their bond was stronger than others.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the two newcomers, Su Shi nodded to a nanny, and that nanny retreated quietly, and after a while, a girl's voice was heard outside.

"The two girls have come to greet the empress."

The curtain was lifted, and a faint scent of fragrance wafted in. Fu'er took a closer look, and there were really two beauties!Haoxue's skin, willow brows and cherry lips, approaching her pretty, is so beautiful that people can't move their eyes away.

Not inferior to Huang's at all!
"Slaves and maidservants pay their respects to the master." The voice was like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, crisp and melodious.

The two newcomers knelt on the ground respectfully, with a very low posture.

Su said lightly, "When you enter the palace, you must abide by the rules of the palace and serve the masters well. This is what a slave should do. You must remember your identities and don't have any delusions. As long as you live in peace, No one will embarrass you."

Fu'er was not surprised to see the two newcomers kowtow and say yes, this kind of strictly trained woman is more knowledgeable about current affairs than ordinary women.

"Which one of you is the Yan family?" Yang said suddenly.

Among the two newcomers, the one in the dark green clothes said, "If you go back to your mother, this servant is right."

Yang said "oh", "raise your head."

Yan Shi raised her head slowly, and Yuan Shi who was closest to her let out a surprised "Huh".It was only then that Fu'er took a serious look at Yan Shi, and was shocked to realize that Yan Shi's eyes were sunken, his nose was straight, and his facial features were bright, as if he was of foreign blood.

Yang smiled lightly, "Look, sister, it's true as rumored, this sister Yan seems to be from the Western Regions."

Su Shi also nodded with a smile, "If that's the case, she's really a beauty."

Yan seems to be used to others admiring her face, "The mother of this servant is a bearded woman, so this servant looks a bit like a person from the Western Regions."

"You look so beautiful, I must be very happy to see you." Yang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled lightly.

Fu'er pouted in her heart, Li Jiarong is not a lecherous man!She was slightly taken aback, perhaps because of Li Jiarong's way of getting even rain and dew all the time, she naturally had such an idea.

Mrs. Su glanced at Mrs. Yang lightly, "Everyone has met the newcomers. We should get along well in the future so that the prince can feel at ease."

Everyone hurriedly agreed.

Yan's and Zhou's are standing below Yuan's. No matter how Fu'er looks at it, Yan's and Zhou's are not as "walking with a vicious spirit" as Liu Nanny said, but they are extremely respectful. , with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look, I have to say that Wang An's vision is still very good.

Everyone said a few words indifferently, Su's face could hardly hide the tiredness, but Yang's face was radiant, and he looked in the direction of the door frequently, looking like he was waiting for someone.

Who else can we wait for, Li Jiarong?
Fu'er was a little discouraged, Yang was so eagerly looking forward to it, could it be that Li Jiarong would definitely come?

"It's getting late today, everyone..." Before Su Shi could say the word "Scattered", she heard the voice of a girl outside.

"Grandpa is here."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

The exhaustion on Su's face was swept away, and he quickly stood up with the help of the maid. Li Jiarong had already strode in, and his expression sank when he saw the two big bellies coming up to him.

"If your body is heavy, don't move around. Let's all sit down." Li Jiarong personally stepped forward to support one, handed the shy Wang to the little girl, and helped Su to sit up, and then turned to the crowd.

Naturally, he also saw the two new concubines.

Perhaps it was because of Li Jiarong's rare gentleness that everyone looked at him with more warmth.

"Are you here to say hello too? Very good."

The girls served tea, and Li Jiarong nodded to Yan Shi and Zhou Shi, and the eyes of Yan Shi and Zhou Shi suddenly burst into charming brilliance.

Mrs. Zhou lowered her head slightly, a few strands of hair drooped down, her red lips parted slightly, "Slave, Mrs. Zhou's Jinniang, please greet me."

Fu'er was stunned, it was just a simple movement, the whole demeanor of the originally low-browed and submissive Zhou family was different, she was extremely delicate and soft, she didn't look coquettish, on the contrary, she had the slightest taste of being unearthly.

Yan Shi, on the other hand, raised her head high and showed a bright smile, which made her already three-dimensional facial features more profound. "Slave Yan Shili, please greet me."

Two beauties, completely different styles.

Unlike Fu'er, the eyes of the others were immediately glued to Li Jiarong, wanting to see how Li Jiarong would react.

Li Jiarong only stayed on Yan's face for a moment, then looked away, "You must obey the rules, and if you need anything, you can find the princess."

Yan Shi and Zhou Shi were slightly disappointed, but they quickly covered it up, "Yes." After answering, they quickly retreated to Yuan Shi's first stop.

"Father."

Li Peiyuan stepped forward to salute, his face flushed slightly, and he looked at Li Jiarong earnestly.

Seeing his son, Li Jiarong's expression softened a lot, and his brows softened, "Is the meal delicious recently?"

Li Peiyuan nodded vigorously, "It's very fragrant." He was a little excited when facing Li Jiarong, and his voice was trembling.

Li Jiarong patted his head and smiled at Yang Shi, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yang's blushing face smiled and said, "What did the master say, this is what the concubine should do."

Li Jia smiled, "Seeing that you have lost weight, you should pay more attention to your body."

Yang Shi smiled shyly, Li Peiyuan took her hand, looked at Li Jiarong pitifully and said, "Father, mother seems to be sick..."

Li Jiarong looked at Yang Shi, and the blush on Yang Shi's face deepened, and glanced at Su Shi, Yang Shi gently took Li Jiarong's hand and stroked her abdomen, saying softly.

"Master, I seem to have a concubine..."

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Li Jiarong was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized, and called Xiao Qinzi with a happy face, "Hurry up and invite an imperial physician to come and take a look."

Fu'er was stunned, what happened to Prince Rong's mansion?Either have no children for several years, or have three pregnancies all at once.

This is not what she is worried about. What she is more worried about is that not only the two most powerful women in the palace are pregnant at the same time, but also a Wang family who seems to surpass the imperial concubine, and two more charming concubines...

How should she deal with herself?

Not only Fu'er's side, everyone has different calculations in their hearts at this moment.If the Su family gave birth to a son, he would be a legitimate son.But Mrs. Wang is pregnant first, she already has an eldest son, and there may be another second son, this is enough to make Mrs. Su worry. At this moment, Mrs. Yang has news of her pregnancy again. If she has another son Well, wouldn't Yang, who has two sons by his side, want to go to heaven!

If she gave birth to a daughter...

Su's teeth were almost crushed with hatred.

The imperial physician was quickly invited, but it was not Chen Zheng, but another imperial physician Hu.

Yang is indeed pregnant, more than a month.

The hall was silent for a while, and it was not known who was leading them. Everyone congratulated Mrs. Yang one after another. Li Peiyuan's childish words that he would have another younger brother deeply hurt the hearts of everyone present.

After Li Jiarong sent the imperial physician away, she came back to contemplate for a moment, and slowly scanned everyone, her gaze stayed on Fu'er for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.

"Master? Master?" Yang slanted a look at Fu'er, and called Li Jiarong with a clever smile.

Li Jiarong frowned and said, "I have something to tell you."

Everyone was quiet and waited for the next article.

Li Jiarong's tone was a bit hesitant, "The palace in Nanxia County needs someone to supervise the construction. I have already handed over the booklet to my father and asked for a supervisor. I will leave for Nanxia County in ten days. I am afraid that I will not be able to come back this time during the Chinese New Year. Yes, take..."

Li Jiarong frowned, and looked at Fu'er again, "Let's take Mrs. Chen there."
