Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 374 Pregnancy

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

On this day, the weather was a bit dull, as if it was going to rain.

After breakfast, Concubine Ming went to Changhui Courtyard to pay her respects. As soon as she left the house, she heard Zhou's mother say, "I'm not well yet. What are you doing here? Go back to the house and lie down."

Ming concubine glanced at her head, and saw Xi'er standing there with her mouth pouted, and said, "I'm bored in the room, I want to come out to get some air, Shi Zifei even said that I can come out for a walk."

Zhou's mother said, "The concubine is not a doctor."

In a word, Xi'er was blocked for a while and didn't know how to answer.

Why isn't the crown prince a doctor?
Her medical skills are much better than Zhao Yuanzheng!
It's just that there are maids everywhere, and Zhou's mother doesn't know about Ming's concubine's medical skills, so Xi'er dare not talk nonsense.

Seeing her depressed face, Xueyan covered her mouth and smiled, "Mother Zhou cares about you. I will take care of the concubine, so you can rest in the house for a few days."

Xi'er also knew that Zhou's mother cared about her. When she was lying on the bed, Zhou's mother spoke to her very gently. When she went out, she either yelled or yelled at her, and her attitude was very different.

Seeing Xi'er standing still, Zhou's mother wanted to drag her back to the house. At first she didn't know that Xi'er was injured by Princess Langhuan, Qing Xing only said that she accompanied Xi'er in the garden to find the earrings, and they found it well. Xi'er was knocked out, and she couldn't see who it was in the dim night. She was so scared that she hurried back to ask the concubine Shi Zi for help.

It's just that it's okay to fool others with such words, but it's too tender to fool Zhou's mother. The garden is haunted. Xi'er is not very courageous, and Xi'er is not an ordinary maid. It's not that big of a deal to drop three or two pairs.

The more she concealed, the more problems there would be. As soon as Zhou's mother pressed her, Qing Xing made every move.

Zhou's mother is a smart person, knowing that although Xi'er almost died, she did meritorious service with half her life, so she didn't scold her for being incompetent and fussing. The small kitchen cooks her favorite dishes, including four kinds of pastries, and stewed chicken soup.

Xi'er looked at Ming concubine, hoping that she could help talk about Zhou's mother, Ming concubine said with a smile, "You just listen to Zhou's mother, and go back to the house for another day, and you will be allowed out of the house tomorrow."

Even concubine Ming turned to Mother Zhou, Xi'er was outnumbered, she said, "Can't I just sit here and watch the servant girl sweep the fallen leaves?"

Staying in the house alone, unable to sleep, looking at the not-so-beautiful gauze curtain with open eyes is like a fool.

Mother Zhou glared at her and said, "If you are disobedient, I will pull your ears."

Seeing that Zhou's mother really stretched out her hand, Xi'er was so frightened that she ran back to the house in a gust of wind.

Zhou's mother was both helpless and funny, "It's really itchy, you have to be tough to be obedient."

Xueyan smiled and said, "She was so bored, she still dragged me to talk in the middle of the night."

Ming concubine laughed, she remembered that at the bottom of the cliff, she was sound asleep and didn't speak for a long time, Xi'er would stay by her bed in fright, or shake her awake, even if she muttered, she would be at ease for a long time, so Qing Xing let Qing Xing Chat with her in the house to relieve boredom.

Ming concubine's treatment of Xi'er can be said to be indulgent, and those little maids are envious of Xi'er.

After a short delay outside the house, it was a little later to go to the Changhui courtyard, and happened to meet Mrs. Yang, the third wife's natal sister-in-law, at the gate of the courtyard.

Mrs. Yang walked over here, and the third wife came out to meet her, and said with a smile, "What wind brought my sister-in-law here?"

Mrs. Yang sighed, there were servant girls all around, she said, "Let's talk in the room."

Looking at Mrs. Yang's face, she knew it was not a good thing. The third wife led her into the house, and Ming concubine was a few steps behind.

When Ming concubine entered the room, the old lady and Mrs. Yang were talking, in order not to disturb other people's conversation, Ming concubine did not go up to say hello, but stood aside.

The third wife saw that Mrs. Yang's expression was not good, she asked anxiously, "Is something wrong?"

Mrs. Yang nodded, sighed heavily, and said, "The palace is going to retire, and our master forced Liu'er to lose weight. I have always been kind to her, knowing that she is very hungry, so I will let the servant girl go to the kitchen to bring food, so I don't care. She, who would have thought that she was stimulated a few days ago, she would either not eat, or eat a few mouthfuls of green vegetables, she fainted from hunger last night, the doctor said that if she continues to be so hungry, she will lose weight and her body will collapse."

The third wife frowned and said, "Who provoked Liu'er?"

Mrs. Yang replied, "It was the servant girl in the mansion who said something that hurt her self-esteem."

It is inconvenient for Mrs. Yang to say those unpleasant words to pollute people's ears, and she can't say them. Does she want to say that the maid in the mansion said that the eldest girl's face is not as good-looking as the second girl's butt?
She is the second wife to fill in the house, and Liu'er is so fat that many people are pointing at her back.

Mrs. Yang said regretfully, "Liu'er's marriage was settled early. Who would have thought that she would get sick and grow fatter. She made an agreement with the palace before that she would retire if she couldn't lose weight in three months. Before, the master urged her every day. Liu'er fainted yesterday, the master thought about it..."

Mrs. Yang hadn't finished speaking when a maid in a pale blue dress ran in. She ran into a maid who was serving tea, and the maid yelled, interrupting Mrs. Yang's words.

The old lady frowned, and scolded, "There are no rules, how decent!"

The little maid turned pale with fright, and hurriedly told, "Aunt Tao fainted in the Buddhist hall..."

The old lady's eyes turned cold for a moment, and she said, "Isn't she taking care of brother Hao in Mingyueyuan, why is she in the Buddhist hall?"

The little maid quickly glanced at the third wife.

The third wife's face was extremely ugly, and the elder sister-in-law of her natal family came to discuss the matter of retiring, but Aunt Tao fainted at this moment. When I went back to the Buddhist hall, the old lady asked her to pray for three months, and she was asked to go back to take care of Brother Hao because Brother Hao was ill, and now that Brother Hao is fine, she naturally wants to go back."

It's just that I didn't expect that bitch to pretend to be dizzy after going back for one night, and see how she will deal with her when she goes back!
The third wife suppressed her anger and ordered the servant girl, "Please ask a doctor to come in and give Aunt Tao a pulse."

The servant girl took the order, and Fushen retreated.

It's just that the third wife's confidant maid here, and the little maid guarding the Buddhist hall on the back foot sent a message, and the news was so explosive that the third wife stood up from the rosewood chair in shock.

The servant girl reported that Aunt Tao was pregnant.

More than a month.

The third wife's expression was ugly, as if she had swallowed a fly, "How did you know you were pregnant before asking the doctor for a pulse?!"

The little maid shrank her neck and said, "Doctor Li went into the mansion to ask the young master for his pulse. The master happened to be there. As soon as Aunt Tao fainted, she went to report to the master. The master personally took the doctor to the Buddhist hall to take the pulse of Aunt Tao."

It's not that the servant girl guessed randomly, Aunt Tao is really pregnant.

The eldest lady sat aside and said, "How could you be pregnant? Isn't Aunt Tao the sunflower water who came here not long ago?"
