marry a princess

Chapter 257

Capital Palace, Ningshou Palace.

The morning sunlight comes in from the window and falls on the clear copper mirror, reflecting colorful and cool light.Mother Xi instructed the ladies in a low voice to prepare the necessary supplies, and looked towards the bed from time to time.The maids responded softly, coming in and out, moving lightly, for fear of disturbing the people on the bed.

About half an hour later, the bed moved slightly, and then the dark-colored bed curtain was raised. Mother Xi ordered a few words from the maid, and hurried over to hang the bed curtain, leaned over and said respectfully, "Master, but the maids are moving?" Too big, is it bothering you?"

"It's none of the girls' business. Hey, when you get old, not only your body is useless, but you also sleep less and less." The hoarse and low voice revealed some vicissitudes and desolation.

"Master is not old..."

"All right, all right, you don't want to make Aijia happy. Aijia knows about Aijia's body." The Empress Dowager waved her hand to cut off Mammy Xi, took her arm and sat up slowly, and glanced out the window, " What time is it now?"

"It's just past the hour and hour." Mother Xi supported the Empress Dowager and said, "The old slave told the maids to go down, so you can sleep a little longer. The imperial doctor said that your body needs rest."

"Retreat? They want Ai's family to rest and not ask about the affairs of the palace. They even hope that Ai's family will die earlier. Hmph, they want Ai's family to die, but Ai's family doesn't let them do what they want." The empress dowager rolled her eyes. The light changed, with a bit of sharpness, "Is there any movement in the east and west palaces these days?"

Grandma Xi hesitated for a moment, walked quickly to the door of the house, raised the curtain and looked outside, then turned back and whispered a few words to the Empress Dowager.

"Is what you said true?"

Mother Xi nodded and said, "That man saw it with his own eyes, and this... was also brought to me by that man."

The Empress Dowager took the veil handed over by Nanny Xi and opened it. Inside was a sachet, with two lines of poems embroidered on one side of the sachet - if the two loves lasted for a long time, how could they last forever.The other side of the sachet is embroidered with a naked man and woman embracing each other.

Even the empress dowager, who had experienced sex between men and women, was also blushed by the naked man and woman hugging each other on the sachet, and then her face changed drastically, and she hit the edge of the bed with a backhand, making a dull sound, and she also felt angry because of Coughing constantly.

Grandma Xi was horrified, and shouted outside the house, "Come here, hurry up and invite the imperial doctor to Ningshou Palace." She went over and poured warm water for the Empress Dowager to drink, and said, "It's all the old slave's fault. The old slave should not say these things to anger the master."

The empress dowager waved her hand and drank half a cup of warm water. Fang slowly stopped coughing. When she saw the sachet next to her, she couldn't help being furious. She held on to the sachet tightly, her chest rising and falling. To do such an outrageous thing!

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Imperial Doctor Zhang is here." The palace maid replied outside the room.

"Please come in, Imperial Doctor Zhang." The Empress Dowager put the sachet in Ximao's hand, "Keep the sachet away, remember, don't let the maids see it. Also, don't startle the snake, pay attention to everything in the West Palace. , and see who that person is."

She is the empress dowager, her status is noble, she is above tens of thousands of people, but she can't keep the people she cares about.Those people in the past gradually left, but she was still trapped in this red wall and green tiles, and Assi was the only person she could trust and rely on.

Sister Xi saw the trust in the Empress Dowager's eyes, held her hand, and said firmly, "Master, don't worry, this old slave knows what to do."

As soon as Mother Xi put the sachet in her sleeve and helped the Empress Dowager to lie down and put down the bed curtain, the palace maid led Imperial Doctor Zhang in.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe." Zhang Zhenguo knelt down and saluted.Because of his advanced age, his body is somewhat bent.

"Doctor Zhang doesn't need to be polite. Please get up. Mother Xi, help Doctor Zhang get up and give me a seat." The empress dowager said through the bed curtain.

The palace maid brought a stool over, and Mother Xi supported Zhang Zhenguo to sit down, and said, "The empress dowager coughed again just now, please ask imperial doctor Zhang to show the empress dowager carefully."

"Nurse Xi is polite." Zhang Zhenguo put the empress dowager on her wrist through a brocade handkerchief, and carefully checked her pulse. After a long time, he withdrew his hand, stood up, cupped his hands slightly, and said respectfully, "The old minister dares to ask the empress dowager before I can have a baby." Angry?"

Mother Xi glanced into the tent without any trace, and said, "Is the Empress Dowager's body important?"

Doctor Zhang said, "The old minister said last time that the empress dowager is fine, but the empress dowager's heart is full of anger, her anger is heavy, and she feels less, so her body is getting worse. Mother Xi only needs to follow what the old minister said. , the three meals are mainly light, oily, meaty, spicy, and with the prescription prescribed by the old minister, within a month, the old minister can keep the empress dowager cured. If the empress dowager has a bitter taste, you can eat some plums, or boiled Some shredded chicken porridge."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Zhang." Nurse Xi blessed her body slightly, and ordered the maid, "Luran, it's a good idea to send Imperial Physician Zhang out, and let the maids hurry up to prepare the medicine and bring it to the Empress Dowager."

"Yes." Luran Fushen, carrying the medicine box, raised the curtain and said, "Doctor Zhang please."

"Resignation, old minister." Doctor Zhang bowed his hands, took two steps back, turned around and went outside with Lu Ran.

As soon as Mother Xi waited for the Empress Dowager to dress up and sit down on the couch, the maids came in with soup and breakfast.Not long after, the East and West Second Palace led the concubines from all the palaces to pay their respects, chatted casually for a while, then got up and left.

There are only two masters and servants left in the huge house.The Empress Dowager picked up the tea bowl with another hand, picked up the tea leaves floating on the surface with the lid of the bowl, and put it on her lips, but she didn't drink it after smelling it, her shrewd eyes stared at the painted gauze screen on one side for a long time.

After a long time, she placed the tea bowl, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Aijia has to find a way as soon as possible to make the emperor promise Yi'er and Jin'er brothers to come back." She is already sorry for Rou'er, and she can't let her die anymore Can't feel at ease.

Xi Momo thought for a while and said, "It's not enough just to let the fifth and sixth princes come back, but the emperor must agree to restore the five princes to the position of prince."

The empress dowager pondered for a moment, looked at Ximao, and said, "You're right, it's better to let Yi'er recover as a prince, but...the emperor knows that he is sorry for Rou'er, so it's not difficult to restore Yi'er's status. There is nothing to be afraid of in the West Palace, I am afraid that the East Palace will attack secretly when they know Yi'er is back."

Nanny Xi nodded, but for a moment she had some calculations in her heart, and said, "Master, this old servant has an idea, but I have to wrong the master."

"What's your idea, tell me quickly." As long as Yi'er and Jin'er brothers can come back safely, let alone grievances, it's fine to trade her life.

Seeing the anxious look on the empress dowager's face, Grandma Xi couldn't help laughing, thinking about her forbearance, self-blame and guilt all these years, she couldn't help but sighed secretly, listened to her, and said what she thought of.

The empress dowager's eyes lit up, and she urged, "Just do as you say. Asi, you go to the imperial pharmacy and ask imperial doctor Zhang to come to Ningshou Palace. But, can he really trust it?"

Mother Xi comforted, "Master, don't worry, there is no other reliable candidate except him."

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, and said, "The Ai family understands, you can go."

At the end of spring and early summer, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is gentle. It doesn't feel hot at all, but it is extremely cool.The branches swayed slightly, casting mottled shadows.

When he woke up from his afternoon nap, the man was nowhere to be seen.Bai Ziwan smiled slightly, lifted the quilt, put on her shoes, got out of bed, casually picked up the clothes at the side and put them on, walked to the table, picked up a washed apple, put it to her mouth, and took a bite.

"aunt……"

Hearing a tender and soft voice shouting loudly outside the house, Bai Ziwan just turned around when a small body threw herself into her arms, hugging her with both hands, raised a handsome smiling face, a pair of black grape-like eyes Blinking his eyes, he smiled sweetly, revealing his young teeth.

"aunt."

Bai Ziwan pursed her lips into a smile, turned around and put down the apple, picked up his little limp body and put it on her lap, nodded his nose, and said, "Ze'er, where's your mother?"

The little man pointed back, leaned over and whispered, "Girl, mother walks so slowly, even slower than the old woman."

"Your mother walked slowly because she was pregnant with the baby." Bai Ziwan put her arms around the little man and said, "Didn't Ze'er say that she wanted to love her younger siblings? Mother is pregnant with a baby now, and father is not in the house. A man, shouldn't he take good care of his mother?"

The little man tilted his neck and scratched his head, got off Bai Ziwan's lap, and walked out of the house with short legs, "Mother, Ze'er will help you."

"Ze'er is good." Yun Xiang held her son with one hand, and walked slowly into the room with the other on her waist, "It's only the master who can make Ze'er obey."

"You, you have a big belly, why don't you just stay in the house and come here? If anything happens, I will pay Xiao He for my son." Bai Ziwan supported Yun Xiang to sit down.

Rue Xiang is now eight months pregnant, and that little man just now is none other than Rue Xiang and Xiao He's first son, Xiao Ze.

"Slaves are not so delicate. Didn't the master say that walking more is good for pregnant women and babies?" He picked up the bitten apple on the table with his backhand and took a bite.

"I think you came here because you thought Xiao He wasn't here, and you were bored in the room alone." Bai Ziwan held Xiao Ze in his arms and asked softly, "Ze'er, you said your mother's stomach Is it a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Xiao Ze looked at Bai Ziwan and then at Yunxiang, then scratched his head again, "Ze'er wants a younger brother as well as a younger sister."

"why?"

Xiao Ze said seriously, "Brother can practice boxing with me, sister, I can protect my sister. Father and mother also said that they want a younger sister so that they can dress up beautifully for her."

"Did you hear that? If it's a son this time, I will work hard with Xiao He and give Ze'er a younger sister. If it's a daughter, I will give birth to a son next time."

Yun Xiang blushed slightly, hesitated for a while and said, "Master, are you... still not moving?"

Bai Ziwan was taken aback for a moment, looked down at her stomach, smiled and shook her head, and said, "Maybe it's because the fate is not enough yet."

For three years, Gongsun Liang regularly sent people to send prescriptions to her to recuperate and heal her body.The symptoms left by the miscarriage disappeared a year ago, but the stomach has not responded for a long time.

Yun Xiang took Bai Ziwan's hand and said with relief, "Master, don't worry, you are kind-hearted, generous, and patient. God will definitely send you the smartest, most beautiful and lovely child in the world."
