Concubine Biography

Chapter 67

After the first three months, Fu'er's pregnancy was considered stable, but the embarrassment that followed was tormenting her a lot.

"What can we do?" Lu Ying turned around anxiously.

"Ugh..." Fu'er lay on the bed, once again bent down with a pale face, retching continuously.After finally slowing down for a while, Hong Ying hurriedly rinsed Fu'er's mouth with a teacup.

"You can't go on like this, Lu Ying, you go and ask Madam Liu to see if there is any food that can relieve the pain." Hong Ying frowned and ordered.

Lu Ying let out a hey and immediately went out to the small kitchen.

Grandma Liu was also talking about this matter with Hualien. When she saw Luying approaching, Grandma Liu frowned and said, "First of all, May is when the cherries bear fruit. The cherries taste sour and sweet. If you can have cherries, maybe you can give them to me." Madam, take it easy."

"Then why didn't anyone bring it over for us?" Lu Ying said angrily.

Nanny Liu chuckled, "There is an unwritten rule in the palace, anything that is in season, has a short fruiting season, tastes good, but is perishable and difficult to preserve must not be used by the master."

"Why?" Hualien asked curiously.

"Think about it, if you present this kind of thing to the master, what should you do if the master is addicted to eating and the food is gone? What if the master loses his temper and loses his head?" Mammy Liu sighed, "It's not easy for palace people to survive. , Such deception is a last resort."

"No matter! Your Majesty has become like this. If you have such a fruit, you must let your Majesty try it! My Majesty is so sick now, I didn't see that your Majesty has become much thinner. If this continues, the prince in my belly will not be successful." Lu Shadow said worriedly.

Hua Lian nodded, "Sister, go talk to Eunuch Qin or Eunuch Fang, and have someone get some from outside the palace right away. Your Majesty is always like this, and it hurts to see people."

"Where is Xiao Shanzi?" Lu Ying probed to search, "Let him go for a walk."

Hua Lian smiled and pointed outside, "Xiao Shanzi is walking with the little prince, and the little prince has been clinging to him these days."

"Then I'll go, Hualien, you can go in and take care of me first, I'll go, Mammy." After greeting, Lu Ying left in a hurry.

As soon as Li Jiarong heard about this matter, he immediately sent someone to take care of it. Within two days, he got a small basket of cherries, and Hualien and Xiaoshanzi rushed to pick them up.

"It looks fresh, I heard it was brought in by a fast horse." Xiao Shanzi looked at the cherries carried by the little eunuch behind him, and praised them.

Hualien said with a smile, "That's right, we don't produce this in the capital, and it took a lot of effort to send it from two cities outside. It looks beautiful, and it must be delicious to eat!"

"What is delicious to eat? Show me the princess!" A female voice was inserted into the slant, a tall, slender girl with deep features, slightly dark skin, dressed in a southern Xinjiang service, and a young girl with feathers on her head. came out, startled Hualien.

Seeing no response from the person in front of her, the girl pointed to the cherry on the little eunuch's hand, "What is that?"

"It's a cherry!" Xiao Shanzi gave the girl a sideways glance, and he knew that she was from Southern Xinjiang just by looking at the clothes, with a look of ignorance.

"Cherries?" Obviously, this girl has never seen such a small red fruit that is so attractive just looking at it. "Is it tasty?"

Xiao Shanzi said proudly, "Of course it's delicious, this is the most delicious fruit! It's specially delivered from outside!"

Hua Lian tugged at Xiao Shanzi, frowned and whispered, "Let's go, don't delay."

"Wait!" The girl stopped them and said arrogantly, "The princess has taken a fancy to this thing, put down the fruit, you guys go!"

"Hey!" Xiao Shanzi got angry, pointed at the girl and snorted, "I'm really sorry, this thing was given to my master by the emperor. If the princess wants it, please ask the emperor for it." One word, full of ridicule is self-evident.

The girl put her hands on her chest and snorted contemptuously, "How dare a eunuch talk to this princess like that? When this princess reports to Mrs. Wang, your emperor will cut off your dog's head!"

Hua Lian tugged on Xiao Shanzi's sleeve again, Xiao Shanzi gave the girl a look, and said coolly, "Thank you for your kindness, princess, the servants still have errands to do, princess, please do what you want."

Xiao Shanzi waved his hand as he spoke, and was about to leave with Hualien and the little eunuch.

The girl stretched out her hand to stop, "Keep the fruit! Otherwise, you are not allowed to leave!"

Hualien stopped Xiao Shanzi, stepped forward and quickly knelt down, "Princess, please forgive me. This cherry was given to our mother by the emperor. If the princess wants to invite..."

Snapped!A crisp slap stunned Hualien.

The girl said viciously, "My princess said it! Keep the fruit, you go! Where did all this nonsense come from! Which of you palaces is so bold as to dare to contradict me? My sister-in-law is your eldest princess! It's you!" The empress has to give way to my sister-in-law when she sees me! How dare you push back a basket of broken fruits! Are you tired of living?"

Xiao Shanzi pulled Hua Lian behind him, and said angrily, "Why are you beating people indiscriminately! This is something from Zhaoyang Palace, you..."

"What's wrong with the things in Zhaoyang Palace?" The girl pointed at Xiaoshanzi, "I'm the master and you're a slave, what do you think? Are you thinking the opposite? I deserve to beat you!"

Speaking of which, the girl had already moved her hands, crackling and slapping Xiao Shanzi several times.Since becoming the father-in-law of Zhaoyang Palace, how has Xiaoshanzi ever been wronged like this?But she couldn't fight back. If the girl in front of her said she was the princess of Southern Xinjiang, then she could indeed hit him, a little eunuch.

After beating Xiao Shanzi, the girl clapped her hands and said with a sneer, "You are indeed a eunuch, with delicate skin and tender flesh, and you fight like a little girl. I heard that all of you eunuchs are men and women, look at you This way! Haha..."

Being insulted like this, Xiao Shanzi's eyes were red, and he was about to rush forward with a roar, Hualien firmly held Xiao Shanzi, they could think of other ways to get it back after being beaten today, but once Xiao Shanzi did something, it would be a death penalty!

"Don't be impulsive! Let's go back and find the empress to decide!" Hua Lian threw herself on Xiao Shanzi, tears streaming down her face.

"Heh, let the empress decide! This princess is really scared!" The girl snorted, stepped forward and kicked Hualien, stomped Xiaoshanzi hard, and walked in front of the little eunuch holding cherries.

This little eunuch is also from Zhaoyang Palace, he was very angry when he heard the girl insult Xiao Shanzi, but he has to protect the cherries in his arms, this basket of fruits is worth more than his life!

Knowing that the girl is a barbarian, he couldn't care less now, the little eunuch hugged the basket and dodged, trying to dodge from the side, but the girl moved faster and grabbed the other end of the basket.

"Let... let go!" the little eunuch said tremblingly, this basket cannot withstand the pull of two people.

Xiao Shanzi and Hua Lian were also in a hurry, ignoring the physical pain, Xiao Shanzi stepped forward to protect the basket and pulled it towards the little eunuch, Hua Lian rushed to break the girl's fingers, the girl let out a cry of pain, and her face suddenly became hideous. He kicked Hualien in the stomach and turned Hualien over.

"It's against you! This princess can't eat it, so your damn mother can't eat it either!" The girl was ruthless, and with a strong hand, the basket was pulled into two pieces, and the cherries rolled to the ground one after another. With a snort, he jumped up and started stomping wildly.

"Stomp on you! Stomp on you! A bunch of dog slaves! How dare you hurt me!"

The three of Xiaoshanzi were dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the fresh cherries were crushed and the pink juice flowed out, and a faint fruity fragrance wafted in the air.

"Hurry up, take it back!" Xiao Shanzi didn't care to wipe away his tears, and pushed the little eunuch who was staring and crying, "Your, in your arms..."

Only then did the little eunuch realize that there was still a little half in his arms, so he quickly ran back with the basket in his arms.

The girl stepped on enough, snorted, turned and left.

Hua Lian crawled over with distress, and carefully picked up the rotten cherries, tears dripped on the cherries one by one, "This...what should I do..."

Xiao Shanzi wiped his eyes abruptly, stood up abruptly, "I'm going to find the emperor!"

"Don't, don't!" Hua Lian grabbed the hem of Xiao Shanzi's clothes, "Let's go back and report to the empress!"

"Don't pull me!" Xiao Shanzi said angrily, "It's just a barbarian princess! Your Majesty, this is a big deal! I must report to the Emperor!"

"Xiaoshanzi! Xiaoshanzi!" Xiaoshanzi ran away after finishing speaking. Hualien couldn't help shouting, stamped her feet, and hurriedly ran to Zhaoyang Palace.

Xiao Shanzi knelt in front of Li Jiarong and told the whole story with snot and tears, and Li Jiarong's face became darker the more he listened.

"Put up Zhaoyang Palace!"

In Zhaoyang Palace, the little eunuch and Hua Lian also cried and told the story.

Fu'er looked at half of the basket of cherries on the table, then at the terrified little eunuch and Hua Lian whose skin was broken and swollen, and sighed, "Look, I'm hurt, go down and apply the medicine first."

Hualien and the little eunuch kowtowed, and the little eunuch cried, "Mother, it's the servant who is not good. The servant didn't protect the cherries, and let people... all be ruined...."

"Don't blame you, go down and apply the medicine first," Fu'er said with a pale face. She really doesn't have the energy to take care of these things now, and the morning sickness is enough to exhaust her energy.

"The emperor is here—" the palace people sang in harmony.

It came so fast!
Fu'er was lying sickly on the bed, Li Jiarong hurried in, and frowned when he saw Hualien and the little eunuch crying, Xiao Qinzi understood, and hurriedly took the two of them down.

"You're vomiting too much?" Li Jiarong touched Fu'er's forehead and asked with concern.

Fu'er nodded listlessly, "Throw up whatever you eat, I really don't have any appetite at all."

"I have already sent someone to make arrangements, and I will personally deliver the cherries to you in two days." Li Jiarong said softly.

Fu'er smiled slightly, "The servants are also kind, who knew that such a thing would happen. But speaking of that princess, why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?"

Li Jiarong frowned and thought for a while, "I've never seen it before, I don't know where it came from."

"Didn't the eldest princess tell you?" Fu'er asked curiously.

Li Jiarong shook her head, "I haven't mentioned it. Don't worry, if you dare to insult you, I will deal with them! Don't hold back in your heart, just scold if you want, it's not good for your health."

Fu'er shook her head, and said softly, "I'm not angry. I don't have the strength to get angry with them. It's nothing more than a basket of fruit. But she beat my palace maid, so I still have to take revenge. Why don't you let her come here?" Sorry, I closed the door to prevent her from coming in, let her stand for three or four hours, and made her stand at the door."

Li Jiarong laughed, "It's really a child's idea. You can do whatever you want, as long as you feel comfortable."

Fu'er took Li Jiarong's hand and said softly, "Come talk to me tonight..."

How could Fu'er Li Jiarong, who was so soft and coquettish, be willing to refuse, she immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll stay tonight."

After a pause, Li Jiarong added, "I haven't slept well every night in the Xuanming Palace since you got pregnant again, so I can sleep well tonight."

"Hmm..." Fu'er leaned against Li Jiarong's arms, feeling sweet in her heart.

The small dispute between the two of them a few days ago dissipated without knowing it.

On the other side, the eldest princess became angry as soon as she heard what the girl said.

"Alan! You are so nonsense! Do you think you are still in Southern Xinjiang? Zhaoyang Palace! Zhaoyang Palace! You...how did you mess with Zhaoyang Palace! That concubine Rong is the emperor's favorite concubine! You In the future... Hey! Follow me tomorrow to apologize! Let me tell you, don’t forget why you came to the capital!"

Alan rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully, "What kind of concubine, she hides in her palace all day and sees no one! What's the big deal!"

Seeing that the Eldest Princess seemed to be angry again, Alan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let me apologize? Sister-in-law Wang, don't be angry, I know why I came here."

"Pretend to be decent for me tomorrow! Concubine Rong of Zhaoyang Palace is afraid... I warn you, you are only allowed to please Concubine Rong! Don't have any other thoughts!" The eldest princess once again warned with a solemn face.

Alan said angrily, "I know, who wants to be tempted! Treat me like the emperor!"

"I hope so!" The eldest princess gave her a cold look.
