Chapter 93
"I heard from His Highness that Prince Zhongyuan Hou is getting engaged to his mother's niece." Zuo Xiangrong thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou's natal family is from Cangzhou. When Zhongyuan Hou passed by Cangzhou, she and Zhongyuan Hou Mrs. Marquis Yuan fell in love at first sight, which was widely rumored at the time and is still talked about today.”

Zuo Xiangning sat there, staring blankly, all she could think about was that the man who said he wanted to propose marriage to him was actually getting engaged to someone else.

No wonder he broke it off when he told himself to.

It's ridiculous that she was still thinking about him last night!
"Xiang Ning, what are you laughing at?" Zuo Xiangrong handed the orange in her hand to Zuo Xiangning's eyes.

Zuo Xiangning came back to her senses, looked at Zuo Xiangrong for a while, then reached out to take the orange, and said with a smile: "It's true that people are separated from each other by their stomachs, and they know people but don't know their faces."

"Where did you start saying this?" Zuo Xiangrong looked at her strangely, "Are you worried about something?"

"No." Zuo Xiangning held Zuo Xiangrong's hand, smiled and said softly: "Sister, no matter what happens, you have to remember that you still have a mother, an eldest brother, a third brother and me. And the baby in your belly, you must take care of yourself."

"What happened?" Zuo Xiangrong's face changed slightly, and she gradually held Zuo Xiangning's hand harder, "Are you hiding something from me? Did something happen at home?"

Zuo Xiangning has been hesitating in her heart whether she should tell her eldest sister that Concubine Liu is pregnant.

If she didn't tell her, her eldest sister would have no sense of defense at all, and would be in a passive position where she could be plotted unintentionally.

But if she told him, she would worry about the safety of her eldest sister and the child in her belly.

"No." Zuo Xiangning shook her head.

"You are my biological sister. Everyone can lie to me, but you can't." Zuo Xiangrong said seriously: "If others lie to me, I will only be angry, but if you lie to me, I will be sad."

Zuo Xiangning felt even more hesitant.

Even Zuo Xiangning, who has lived in two lifetimes, cannot deceive the ice-snow and smart Zuo Xiangrong.

"I would have known even if you didn't tell me, it's just a matter of time." Zuo Xiangrong pinched Zuo Xiangning's cheek with her hand, "If you confess now, I can forgive you. If I find out in the future, then But it’s just a crime plus another level!”

"Sister--" Zuo Xiangning took her hand off and held it in her own, "Concubine Liu may be pregnant."

"What did you say?" Zuo Xiangrong's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

Zuo Xiangrong's mind turned around, she shook her head and denied, "Impossible!"

"Sister, when you ask Liu Qinqin to check your pulse tomorrow, you will also check Concubine Liu's pulse. Don't you know whether she is alive or not?" Now that the matter has been revealed, Zuo Xiangning simply said directly: " If she is not pregnant, that's the best. If she is pregnant, sister, don't get angry in a hurry. The most important thing now is the child in your belly. No matter what happens, as a mother, you must protect him. comprehensive."

Zuo Xiangrong's eyes were slightly red, she looked at Zuo Xiangning and said painfully: "Is she really pregnant?"

"I can't guarantee it, I just think it's possible." Zuo Xiangning didn't dare to speak too harshly.

Zuo Xiangrong's Adam's apple rolled, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Xiang Ning, I asked the kitchen to make some snacks. You can take them back to mother to taste."

Zuo Xiangning knew that Zuo Xiangrong wanted to drive her away, so she worriedly shouted: "Sister——"

"I'm fine." Zuo Xiangrong blinked and smiled as usual: "If you have time tomorrow, come over and stay with me for a while."

"Sister, you must protect yourself." Zuo Xiangning left the Prince of Chu's Mansion with wet eyes.

The more others try to persuade such a thing, the more sad it will be for the person involved. It is better to let her digest it slowly.

Zuo Xiangrong sent Zuo Xiangning away, and then asked Liu Qian to be invited.

"Call Liu Fangfei and the others to Fengyu Pavilion, where I will treat them to tea." Zuo Xiangrong asked Caihong to put on a bright red robe, a peony bun, and a phoenix robe inlaid with pearls. hairpin.When they arrived at Fengyu Pavilion, Concubine Liu, Liangdi, two beauties, and two concubines all saluted Zuo Xiangrong.

"Get up quickly." Zuo Xiangrong stretched out her hand to help Concubine Liu, and asked her to place the newly made snacks. She said with a smile: "The weather is rare today, so I thought of calling everyone here to gather together. .”

"Yes, the weather is really nice today." Xu Meiren agreed with a smile.

"Xu Meiren's family hasn't come to see you for a long time, right?" Zuo Xiangrong said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will have someone send a letter to my family. It is about to celebrate the New Year, so I will come to the house to get together with you. "

"Thank you, Princess." Xu Meiren saluted Zuo Xiangrong excitedly.

"Get up, we are all sisters, so you don't have to be so polite." Zuo Xiangrong asked Concubine Liu with a smile, "My sister's father will also come to Beijing at the end of the year, right? I wonder if Mrs. Liu will also come with her. If there is no place, If you want to live there, there is a small open courtyard to the west of our palace."

"Thank you, sister." Concubine Liu turned sideways but did not stand up.

In the past, Zuo Xiangrong always felt that she was the only one who favored all the women in the backyard, so she was very tolerant to these women in the backyard, but now... her eyes swept over Concubine Liu's abdomen.

She knew her sister well, and she would never make a mistake without aim, let alone make something out of nothing.

When several people were chatting happily, Liu came.

"Doctor Liu's medical skills are very high. Compared with the imperial doctors in the palace, he is not inferior." Zuo Xiangrong asked Caihong to invite Dr. Liu in, "Let him take everyone's pulse. It's cold now." The ground is frozen, give everyone a suitable nourishing prescription."

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I don't need it." Concubine Liu stood up and said, "I feel a little cold and want to go back to the yard first."

"Is my sister going to be sick?" Zuo Xiangrong said worriedly: "Then we need to let Dr. Liu take a look."

Following Zuo Xiangrong's words, Liu Qian had already turned into the backyard.

Xu Meiren next to her put the heater in her hand into Concubine Liu's hand, "Sister, let Dr. Liu take a look. My sister's home is in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know how annoying the weather in the north is in winter. Being cold and dry is the easiest way to make people sick."

"That's what my sister said." Zuo Xiangrong said to Liu Qian: "Doctor Liu, please take Concubine Liu's pulse first, and then prescribe her a nourishing prescription."

"Yes." Liu Qian walked to Concubine Liu with his head lowered.

Concubine Liu's panicked eyes met Zuo Xiangrong's smiling eyes. Her heart tightened and she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

I am the concubine of the king of Chu, who is married to the matchmaker. It is natural for me to have children with the king of Chu. Why should I be secretive and act like a thief?

Moreover, it was Zuo Xiangrong who asked the doctor to check her pulse, and it was not her intention.

Even the King of Chu could not blame himself.

What's more, if he could really make Zuo Xiangrong angry, wouldn't the child in his belly become the eldest son of King Chu?
When Concubine Liu thought of this, she was not only not panicked, but also slightly excited.

She asked the girl to put the handkerchief on her wrist, smiled at Liu Qian and said, "Let the doctor worry about it."

"I don't dare." Liu sat on the small stool in front of him and put his hand on Concubine Liu's wrist.

Zuo Xiangrong suddenly said from the side: "Doctor Liu, this is the concubine of our house. She is deeply loved by the prince. You must be more careful."
