Mrs. Xilinjueluo looked haggard, lying on the bed leaning against the pillow, her hair neatly combed, and she smiled reluctantly to greet the guests.

"Excuse me, Princess, for making this special trip." Mrs. Xilinjueluo covered her chest and opened and closed her pale, black-purple lips gently: "It's a pity that my health is getting worse, so I can't get up to greet you."

After saying that, she forced herself to sit up, struggling endlessly.

Luo Jianing knew that E Yuwan's gentle and humble temperament must be related to Mrs. Xilinjueluo's regular teaching. She was afraid that Mrs. Xilinjueluo would act erratically due to concern for etiquette again, so she hurried over to help him and lean on her

Lie down on the pillow.

"Why do you pay so much attention to etiquette?" Luo Jianing comforted her: "Now that Sister Wan and I are familiar with each other, it's appropriate for me to come to see you. You don't have to be so polite."

Seeing Princess Yong standing beside her bed, Mrs. Xilinjueluo hurriedly asked E Yuwan to bring the princess a brocade spoon and sit down, and then said: "The princess is benevolent, but as ministers, we cannot exceed the rules."

At this time, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl ran to the door and said sharply: "Mother! Just listen to the princess! My sister said that the princess is very well. In this case, you should lie down first if you are sick.

Let’s talk later!”

Accompanied by the sound of talking, the little girl hurriedly ran into the room, sat on the edge of the bed, took Mrs. Xilinjueluo's hand, and lay down beside the bed: "Mother, are you feeling better? My sister said, Princess

You are very blessed. I think the princess will definitely bring you blessings."

"Sister Rou, don't be like this." E Yuwan shouted softly: "The guests are here, don't be too rash. Have you said hello to the princess?"

Only then did E Yurou remember that she had forgotten to salute Fujin, so she quickly stood up and respectfully blessed her body.

Luo Jianing smiled and said: "You don't have to be so polite. I just happened to be passing by here to see Madam." Then asked Madam Xilinjueluo: "How have you been eating these days?"

While the adults were talking, Honghui had been quietly watching E Yuwan.

E Yuwan was focused on her mother, so how could she pay attention to what this young man was doing?

She took her younger sister E Yurou and told her carefully: "Go to the kitchen later to see if the porridge is ready. E Niang doesn't want to eat now. She doesn't eat much in the morning. I'm afraid she will be hungry later. If the porridge is not ready yet,

Okay, hurry up. If it's ready, ask someone to warm the porridge temporarily to prevent it from getting too cold. If you're hungry later, you can have hot porridge right away."

E Yurou is also a very sensible child, but her temperament is a bit erratic. She will never push back or push back on anything she can do for her mother.

After listening to her sister's arrangement, she agreed and hurried to the kitchen.

E Yuwan looked at her sister's anxious look and couldn't help but stood at the door and shouted: "Slow down! Don't fall!"

"No problem." E Yurou replied from a distance: "Sister, don't worry."

E Yuwan stood at the door and looked at her sister uneasily. If she didn't have to take care of her mother, she would have gone there in person, so as not to worry about both sides now.

When E Yuwan was looking at her from afar, a gentle voice came from beside her: "You don't have to worry so much. She worries about Madam as much as you do, and she will definitely do her best to do it well. She has grown up, and she is more worried.

What's more, your mother-in-law is ill and she is also trying to do good things. You should treat her as an adult."

E Yuwan was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and realized that the person talking to her was the prince of the palace.

She hurriedly took two steps back to be a little further away from him, which was a blessing for her body: "Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty, I will remember it."

Honghui looked at her respectful look, and then at the thin layer of sweat on her forehead because she was busy in the cold weather, so he sighed, turned around and returned to the house without saying anything else.

After some time, Luo Jianing thought that it would not delay the patient's rest, so she left everyone in Xilin Jueluo's family and took a car back to Prince Yong's Mansion.

Luo Jianing returned to her house, thinking about Mrs. Xilinjueluo's illness, and couldn't help but sigh: "A good person is in such a state after being sick... I'm afraid it will be difficult to cure."

If she read it correctly, Mrs. Xilinjueluo looked like she had a bad heart. If this was the case, it would be difficult to cure Mrs. Xilinjueluo with current medical technology.

No matter what, let's do everything we can and let fate dictate.

Luo Jianing sent Anfu and the others to Xilin Jueluo's house from time to time to help, but she couldn't go there too frequently, lest someone see her and make irresponsible remarks.

In February, Luo Jianing went to the palace to pay her respects as usual.

Honghui has now started to follow him on errands, but he has not been officially allowed to join the job yet. He is just learning from his father and uncles.

Sister Chen is now grown up, and her parents left her to Zhang Tingyu for enlightenment and guidance.

Hongli was already over two years old, and it was time for him to be lively and playful.

Luo Jianing took Hongli into the palace to pay respects to the elders, and also let Hongli, the Queen Mother, and Concubine De deepen their relationship - everyone liked this lively and active boy, and they laughed and laughed every time he went there.

.

This time, after Luo Jianing took Hongli with her, she first went to greet Emperor Kangxi.

"It's a coincidence that you came." Emperor Kangxi said, "The Seventh Princess and the Seventh Prince Consort are also here today. You sisters-in-law haven't been together for a long time, so we should have a good time today. Concubine De took her to pay her respects to the Queen Mother early in the morning. You

Just go directly to Ningshou Palace."

Luo Jianing was very happy when she heard that the Seventh Princess was coming. She thanked Huang Ama and went directly to the Queen Mother's Palace. As soon as she arrived in the courtyard of Ningshou Palace, before she could enter the house, she heard a rumbling from inside the house.

There were bursts of joyful voices:

"Really?"

"Is this true? Is it confirmed?"

"Let the imperial doctor come and take a look later! This kind of good thing needs to be told to the emperor!"

Luo Jianing smiled when she entered the room: "I wonder what you are happy about? Tell me, I want to be happy too."

Hongli clapped his hands and laughed beside him: "Happy, happy."

When the Queen Mother saw Hongli's little face, she liked him so much. She opened her arms and hugged him, and happily said to Sifujin: "It's heavy again! Children are like this, they look the same every day. They are just the tallest ones."

when."

After Luo Jianing responded, she asked the wet nurse to take Hongli into her arms and take care of her. After all, the Queen Mother was old. Even if she wanted to take care of the child, she was unable to do so and could not tire the old man.

Concubine De smiled beside her and said, "Xiao Qi is here! Now we are finally relieved!"

Only then did Luo Jianing realize that what everyone was happy about just now was that the Seventh Princess was pregnant. She couldn't help but happily went over and held the Seventh Princess's hand: "Now you have finally got your wish."

The fifth princess has never been pregnant, and the seventh princess has returned to her hometown in Tongcheng to observe mourning with the seventh prince-in-law a few years ago, but she has also never been able to get pregnant.

This matter is a huge problem in the hearts of the two sisters.

After the Seventh Princess returned to Beijing with the Zhang brothers last summer, the couple had been looking forward to having a child. Now that they are pregnant, they are really happy and congratulated.

The seventh princess's cheeks were slightly red, and she took the fourth sister-in-law's hand and said softly: "Originally, I was worried that my health was not good and I would not be able to get pregnant. Now that I have the good news, I am finally relieved."

Concubine De also sighed: "No. There has been no news about you two sisters, which really makes me anxious. Fortunately, you have finally come to the end of your hardships and have your own child. When the imperial doctor comes over, he will check your pulse for a few more times.

Here’s a prescription, take some medicine to stabilize the fetus.”

The Queen Mother, however, did not particularly agree: "What is needed to prevent pregnancy in the early stage? It will be done after conditioning. It will not be too late to wait until you are three or four months pregnant."

Concubine De smiled and said: "I was negligent. I always thought about cherishing the child I finally had, but I forgot that she was young and strong enough to withstand it. Listen to the emperor and let her survive with her own ability.

Once the fetus is firmly seated, consider other things.”

The Queen Mother is old and doesn't like to take medicine frequently, so she said this.

Concubine De knew it well and did not refute her.

The seventh princess pointed at Si Fujin and said with a smile: "With the fourth sister-in-law here, why should I be afraid? The children born by the fourth sister-in-law are all very smart, and they have not taken many medicines. I remember what the fourth sister-in-law said when she was pregnant.

, focus on dietary supplements and take less medicine, so that the children will grow well."

At this moment, Hongli clapped his little hands and shouted: "Okay, okay!"

He was so lively and clever that he made everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The Queen Mother remembered that when the Seventh Princess first arrived, she seemed to have something else to say, so she asked: "My child, what was it that you haven't finished saying before? Because the pregnancy incident was interrupted, the Ai family forgot to ask."

"It's about the consort." The seventh princess and the seventh consort have a very good relationship, and her cheeks turn slightly red when she mentions her husband: "He has always been diligent and has not missed his studies these years. In the autumn of the second half of this year, he plans to participate.

I thought that since he had made his decision, I should come and tell the imperial grandmother so that you, the old man, would also be happy."

The Queen Mother was very happy after hearing this: "Young people should strive hard at this time. The old Zhang family is full of nobles. Zhang Tingzhan and Zhang Tingyu are both good at homework and good at work."

Thinking of Zhang Tingzhan who had passed away, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel regretful, and said: "Now Zhang Tinglu is getting more and more motivated, with the drive of his two brothers. Very good. The Ai family likes such a good boy."

"But I'm afraid that I won't win." The seventh princess said in embarrassment: "The prince-in-law also participated in Qiu Wei before, but failed. Now, although he has studied more and is better than before, he is still very nervous when facing Qiu Wei.

I always feel that I can’t win and won’t be as good as my brothers.”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Concubine De smiled and said, "Why are you nervous? You will definitely win, you will definitely win!"

Hongli suddenly clapped his little hands and shouted: "hit! hit!"

No one knows why he suddenly said something twice, and each time was more auspicious than the last.

Concubine De was overjoyed and hugged Hongli and gave her a few kisses: "Our Yuanshou is really a sensible child, so we know how to say auspicious words." She took off her own bracelet and put it on Hongli.

The people in the room talked happily for a long time, ate together, and then left.

On the way back.

Luo Jianing and the Seventh Princess hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they took the same car out of the palace.

The seventh princess saw that there was no one else around, so she whispered to the fourth sister-in-law: "It's better that the fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister mentioned it 'accidentally' about my pregnancy. It's not convenient for me to tell her directly."

"What's going on?" Luo Jianing asked curiously.

The two sisters are biological sisters. They are both the daughters of Concubine De. They have always been close to each other.

Growing up, the seventh princess always spoke directly to the fifth princess about anything she wanted to say. And the fifth princess was also the younger sister who would always be the first to rush in whenever something happened.

It makes no sense to say that now the seventh princess has good news but she is secretive and refuses to tell the fifth princess. There must be something fishy in it. That's why Luo Jianing asked just now.
