Hua Jingkai felt a little sad, and he guessed that today's banquet had a deep meaning, and it was really unfortunate that he was right.

Mo Xiao was still in the fog, "Ah, helper? No. Jing Kai doesn't need me to take care of me at all, but he takes care of me every day, so I'm not tired. Qiu Shuang and the others are also very capable and take care of the yard very well. I now have no chance to touch myself except walking and eating by myself. If I want to yell, I will be so tired."

"Hey, I'm not talking about the tiredness, that... Isn't it... Isn't you still not stable in the past? Some places have to be controlled. And even if you get pregnant for ten months, don't you have any confinement? If you want to recuperate well, it's not too long for two or three months. But men can't let him stay until that time, so, my mother means to take care of a few beauties in the house, so when it's inconvenient for you, let them take care of Jingkai."

"ah?"

Mo Xiao felt that he was eating too much, and suddenly he wanted to vomit.

"Mom, no, I want to vomit, I have to go back, otherwise it will be bad if I vomit here later." After Mo Xiao said that, he stood up and walked out the door with his round belly.

"ah……"

The queen was a little surprised. She said that just now, was it too direct? She was already very tactful. Moreover, it was no longer a big deal for the prince to bring a few beauties into the house. If she told her again that the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister were going to send their daughter to the Prince's Mansion as a concubine, wouldn't that be...

"Mom, then I'll leave too. The road is long, so I have to carry her back. As for the beauty, you have also seen it. My wife's opinion is my opinion. Besides, the eighteen people are still eating idle food in my yard. If the mother wants to send it again, I have to make them all hungry. The rice and grain in my yard have to be kept for the little cotton jacket that I was about to give it to." After Hua Jingkai said that, he slapped his butt and left.

The queen frowned, hum, I really don’t want a mother if I have a wife.

She didn't want to do such things that made her son and daughter-in-law hate. They thought that those beauties were what she wanted to send in, but that was not forced by the situation! The Grand Tutor and her elder brother all tried their best to lobby in front of her on the grounds that the crown princess was pregnant with Liujia, saying that she would send her daughter to the palace. If she didn't send a few beauties to Hua Jing Kaifeng, the lady from the Xu Mansion and the Jin Mansion would be as easy to pass on.

Seeing the attitude of the Grand Master and her elder brother, she would not give up until she was sent to the palace. She didn't know how long she could last, but she was afraid that when she finally went to the emperor, she would issue an order directly, and all newcomers from all walks of life would move into the Prince's Mansion. At that time, the Prince's backyard would probably catch fire.

Why didn't the prince and the princess understand her painstaking efforts to be a mother? The queen frowned anxiously, and was naturally calm about her son, and then she had some opinions about the princess. After all, it was from the people and she was too ignorant.

The queen thought for a long time but still had no good advice. In the end, she had to ask someone to come in and clean up the table, and then asked someone to prepare for the outfit to go out. She thought it would be better to go to the concubine's sister to sit there.

A very elegant second-entry courtyard.

The walls are red and the tiles are green, and the bamboos are green and the pears are white.

A beautiful woman wearing a plain green big sleeves and double-breasted skirt was standing under the pear blossoms. Although she was no longer in her life, her delicate facial features and appropriate makeup were really a rare beauty.

However, such a beauty chose a very old-fashioned style and color. Perhaps it was because of the clothes that the beauty had a faint feeling of vicissitudes in her eyes.

A gust of wind blows, and the pear blossoms rustle, like snow flying in the cold winter, with a unique sense of beauty.

The beauty stretched out one hand, and soon there was a snow-white and crystal pear blossom on her palm.

A little eunuch walked in through the courtyard gate with a gentle footstep, and stopped in front of a stone road of varying sizes. Not far from his feet were placed, one was a pair of blue-soled cotton shoes embroidered with pear blossoms, which was small and exquisite, and the other was an ordinary white cloth palace maid's shoes.

The beauty seemed to have not noticed it yet, and the maid who was sitting on the side felt it. She raised her head slightly, raised her palm toward the little eunuch and gently waved it. The little eunuch immediately understood and stood on the side with her hands hanging down, quietly without making any sound.

"Is Jingyan here?"

The beauty did not look back, and her eyes were still looking at the pear blossoms in her palm. However, her eyes that had just become more refined, she asked softly, then blew off the pear blossoms in her palm and turned around. When she turned around, her skirt raised lightly, and she realized that she had been stepping on the stone ground wearing a pair of thin socks.

I saw her three-inch golden lotus walking gently on the stone floor. It was obviously painful, but there was no sign of pain on her face, and there was not even a hard-bearing expression. It was just a warm and soft quiet place, as if she was lying on a chaise longue to bask in the winter.

"Go back to the Imperial Concubine, it's a respectful word."

The little eunuch knelt down toward the beautiful woman who was walking towards him.

That's right, this beautiful woman is the concubine of the Northern Xuan Kingdom Palace.

Once she was just a poor little palace maid who was sold into the palace by her parents. The prince first fell in love with her and promised that the second year after the princess entered the house was the day she made her a concubine. So she waited happily, not just because of this promise of wealth, but also because of the extraordinary prince herself. For her, the prince's favor was the most reward God gave her, and she cherished it. But an accident happened. The prince was poisoned, and the soldiers of the Imperial Hospital were at a loss. They could not even find out the poison in it, and even the poisoned person could not find out.

A few days later, the prince died in pain. Before leaving, he entrusted Xu Liyun, who was pregnant with Liujia, to his brother Huashun.

Soon, Hua Shun was granted the title of crown prince and married the Jin family's daughter, Jinhuazhu, who was originally going to marry the prince's daughter. At this time, Xu Liyun officially became Hua Shun's nominal concubine, and her son was named Hua Jingchu.

Jingchu, good scenery is good. Huashun said this when he named his child.

Later, Hua Shun succeeded to the throne as emperor, took care of Xu Liyun, gave her the yard where the prince originally lived, and renamed it Wenliyuan.

Xu Liyun looked at the pear trees in the yard. It was indeed exactly the same as when the prince was there, but the scenery was as good as before, and that person had already become thick and thick bones.

Jingyan's bowing was almost against the ground, and he didn't dare to lift it up at all.

Concubine Xu seemed to understand the meaning of not daring to look up and squinted her lips.

"Why, I haven't found the King of Xin?"

At this time, she had reached the end of the stone road. The maid on one side had already picked up the pair of embroidered cotton shoes and held them in her hand, knelt down in front of the imperial concubine, and carefully put the embroidered shoes on her with one hand.

"When I return to the Imperial Concubine, King Xin seemed to deliberately avoid the young people. The young people who often go to the places where King Xin often goes to have no trace of them."

Jing Yan leaned on the ground and returned carefully.

"Avoid you?" Concubine Xu frowned slightly. "Okay, go down."

Jing Yan hesitatedly raised his head to look at Concubine Xu, then tilted his head to look at the maid, and sure that he had heard it correctly, so he kowtowed again, stood up, walked back several steps before turning around and jogging silently.

"The Imperial Concubine, it's already much colder tonight. Why don't I help the Imperial concubine in and rest for a while?"

"Zhihua, you have been with me for many years." Concubine Xu suddenly changed the topic lightly.

"Yes, it's been a while." Zhihua said with his head down.

Zhihua was originally a palace maid who entered the palace with the imperial concubine. She was still young when she entered the palace. She often took care of Xu Liyun when she was on duty. Later, the prince passed away first. It turned out that all the palace ladies in the courtyard were sent to the Yeting for losses. Later, the Yeting sent Zhihua to the Washing Bureau.

The washing clothes bureau is usually served by elderly and guilty palace servants. Once they enter the washing clothes bureau, they only do one thing in their lifetime, washing clothes. Whether it is the cold winter or the hot summer, they are soaked in water every day. If they are hard-working, they will know it just by thinking about it. If they accidentally break one of the clothes, even if they are the most valuable, they will be killed directly.

Therefore, the washing clothes bureau is a nightmare for every palace servant. Whoever enters this nightmare will not be liberated unless he dies.

However, Zhihua was obviously the lucky one among the people inside. After only half a year of experience, he was specially recalled to the palace. Because at that time, Xu Liyun had already been named a concubine by the prince, Xu Liyun asked Zhihua out of the washing clothes bureau and put it next to him as a chief.

Although Zhihua came later than other maids, he was more considerate than those who followed the concubine earlier than others. In the eyes of other maids and eunuchs, Zhihua was the shadow of the concubine and the worm in his stomach. Anyone who could not be clear about them would definitely seek guidance from Zhihua, so Zhihua was the manager of the imperial concubine, and was the only one who could not be clear about them. Therefore, Zhihua was convinced by Wenliyuan.

But Zhihua felt that she didn't understand the imperial concubine.

She looked up slightly at Concubine Xu, who was more beautiful than flowers in front of her. Perhaps because of her different identity, the eldest sister next door felt like she had in the past. Like all the superiors in this palace, the Concubine gradually had that mysterious feeling. It was hard to see through or guess.

Another palace maid came into the gate of the courtyard.

"Imperial Concubine, Empress is coming here."

Concubine Xu frowned. The queen came at this time, probably because the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were going to send their daughter to the palace.

"Zhihua, burn tea and burn incense, and prepare a hand-warming water bag."

After Concubine Xu finished speaking, she walked towards the courtyard.

"Sister, why have you come here by yourself? What's the matter? Isn't it better to let my sister go there?"

Concubine Xu walked forward and grabbed the queen's hand and rubbed it in her palm. The queen was weak in physique and stayed in the cold palace for a long time. Later, she didn't raise her hands. When autumn came, she became cold like ice.

"Oh, I can't hold it in my heart if I have something to do, so I think of coming to my sister." The queen said.

Concubine Xu rubbed her for a while until she felt a little warmth. She turned around and waved away the palace servant who was following the queen, and then helped her into the inner courtyard.

"Sister is anxious about the affairs of the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the National Uncle's Mansion?"

"Isn't that right? I just told the Crown Princess about sending the beauty to the prince's yard. As a result, the Crown Princess was probably angry with me, the queen, and left after saying that her stomach was uncomfortable." The queen muttered, half resentment and half regret. She has always been kind and complaining, but after putting her heart in favor, she felt more and more uneasy when the Crown Princess was angry and more and more uneasy.

"No, the Crown Princess is so smart and must understand her sister's painstaking efforts. Maybe she will feel uncomfortable in her stomach. Besides, even if the common people have three wives and four concubines, the prince cannot have only one Crown Prince. This is a matter of time. If you can't even understand this, the Crown Prince will be too ignorant." said the imperial concubine.

"Ah, even though that's it, you don't know that the prince had expressed his feelings to me early in the morning, saying that he would only marry the princess in this life. If other women want to enter the prince's mansion, they will not be determined to be a widow."

"The prince really said that?" The imperial concubine was surprised.

"Really, that's why I'm worried."

The queen frowned, but others didn't know, but she knew that what her son said was a sure thing. She originally planned to start from the Crown Princess to see if she could let the Crown Princess let go first. The Crown Princess let go first, so that her son could naturally go with the flow.

"Sister, don't worry. The princess came from the people and had no parents since she was a child. Naturally, no one told her about these reasons for being a wife. In this way, my sister will go to the prince's mansion tomorrow and give her some advice. She figured it out, and it was over."

The queen was happy when she heard that the imperial concubine was willing to be a lobbyist.

"That's the best. My sister has always spoken frankly, so I'll leave this to my sister."

The queen and the imperial concubine talked for a while before returning to Yulanyuan.

The next day, Mo Xiao and Hua Jingkai had just returned from the female clinic and sat down. Before they could even take a sip of tea, they heard Qiu Shuang come in and report that the imperial concubine was coming, and Xu Baoqin from the Grand Tutor's Mansion was also here.

Mo Xiao was stunned, then looked at Hua Jingkai and conveyed his guess. The two of them came straight to the guest without saying hello, as if they were not here... good-natured.

Hua Jingkai raised his eyebrows, meaning that I am the one who is in charge of my territory, and all the visitors are just guests. If you like it, stay for tea. If you don’t like it, just drive it away.

Mo Xiao shrugged, these two people were probably not that easy to catch up.

After a while, the imperial concubine brought Xu Baoqin in.

After a regular ceremony, the imperial concubine and Xu Baoqin took their seats in different generations.

"Oh, the Crown Princess is really capable. Opening a female clinic in this palace is not only a new thing but also a great thing." As soon as the imperial concubine sat down, she began to use words of praise to open up the topic.

Don’t smile but don’t say anything, waiting to see what she says next.

In this situation, Hua Jingkai should have made an excuse to leave and then leave three women together. However, he held the teacup in his hand and savored it slowly, his butt was tightly pressed against the Taishi Chair, without any intention of leaving.
