boudoir

Chapter 392
He was delayed for two days because of Min Hua's matter, but he didn't pay attention to the matter on the other side of Ji Jiao'er.After breakfast that day, I called Jugeng in and asked for a while, and then said: "Come and tell me the date when Concubine Hui will go to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense." He took care of the affairs of the palace again.

Now the Mei family basically doesn't care about Zhongfu, and just focuses on the general affairs of the palace.So now Wu Zhong only went to Chaoqingtang to answer the questions, and all the pass cards and keys in the big treasury of the mansion were also handed over to Liuli.

Bellflower is gone, Liuli thinks about it and invites Ruier again: "Have you prepared Huanhua's make-up ceremony?" After setting the date, he came to inform Liuli again, and it was on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.It's coming soon, Liuli, as a younger sister, naturally has to prepare a few beautiful pillows and mattresses, in order to wish the couple a happy marriage for a hundred years.

Rui'er said: "I handed it over to the aunts of the Shangfu Bureau. The new year is coming soon, and the palace has to rush to make new clothes for the empress dowagers and concubines. I'm afraid it will take a few days." While walking away He came forward to comb her hair, and then said softly, "Grandma hasn't had her period this month, has she? It's time to ask Imperial Physician Wu to have a look."

Hearing what she said, Liuli suddenly remembered that she hadn't had her period for a long time this month, and the relationship between her and Qi Yunhao was getting more and more harmonious. I didn't pay attention at all when I was out of filial piety.If it is said that she is pregnant, it is not surprising at all.

So he said, "Go pass him over."

Wu Zixin heard that Princess Huai'an had heard about it, so he rushed over after dinner in the afternoon, put on the handkerchief and focused on his pulse, and his eyes showed joy: "Congratulations to the princess! Congratulations to the princess for having a son!"

Because Liuli was prepared, she wasn't very surprised, but she was happy. She didn't know anything when she was pregnant with Xiaodulu. At that time, there were people targeting her everywhere. She had to live a comfortable life for a few days, and she was busy guarding against their plots day and night. Now that all her obstacles have been cleared away, the rest is completely incomprehensible to her. Feel what it feels like to be pregnant.

When Qi Yunhao came back and heard that he was going to be a father again, his originally relaxed face suddenly became tense, but immediately he became excited again, he sat on the couch with Liuli in his arms, and sat next to her with Xiaodulu in his arms, Looking at their mother and child and her still very flat belly, she was so happy from ear to ear!
"I'm going to have a daughter this time! It's best to have two in my life!"

Liuli stroked her belly and said slowly, "If it's a daughter, you can't spoil her like Mulan, then I'd rather have a son!"

Qi Mulan has really become a lot more honest recently, although everyone said that it was the role of the newly hired maid, but Liuli felt that it was not all.But Liuli has less contact with her, and the third grandma Mu has a little more contact with her, maybe what they said is more correct.But no matter what the reason is, it's good that she can really get better. If she just imitates others' face-to-face and back-face, it will only harm herself in the end.

The news of Liuli's pregnancy spread quickly, and everyone in the mansion was very happy. Except for Mrs. Mei, everyone came to Chaoqing Hall to express their congratulations.Qi Mulan also came, and at that moment Liuli was drinking tea with Mu's Qi Yunke, when she heard that she was coming, she looked at Qi Yunke and the others.Mu spread his hands, pointed at himself and shook his head, expressing that it was none of her business.

She couldn't be kicked out when people came, so Liuli asked Chunxiang to bring her in.

Anyway, Qi Mulan was very kind to Little Dulu. At first, Liuli was on guard against her and kept Little Dulu from getting in touch with her, until one time she accidentally saw her beating mosquitoes carefully to sleeping Little Dulu. Covering the quilt, she was about to rush over, and then pressed the impulse to hide behind the pillars and observe. From the beginning to the end, she was careful with the little Dulu, and the smile on her face was full of pampering and love, so ecstatic The inner expression couldn't be faked, and Liuli knew from now on that although Qi Mulan hated herself, she still had an instinctive love for the offspring of the Qi family.

So later she secretly told Huang Yu's second mother that if the eldest girl came to see Xiao Shizi, they only need to stand in a position that can ensure Xiaodulu's safety, and they don't need to stop too much.

Qi Mulan came in with two wooden ponies, glanced at Qi Yunke and his wife, then stepped forward to salute Liuli, and said, "This is a pair of Western toys, one for little Dulu and one for little Let's play with my niece in the future." Then he put them on the table, bent down and bowed deeply, and walked out the door.

Mrs. Mu hurriedly said: "Why did the eldest sister just come and leave?"

Qi Mulan turned her head and forced a smile, "I'm just here to see. Mommy is still waiting for me to go back and do my homework."

Liuli looked elsewhere and sighed after a long time.

Seeing Qi Mulan like this, Mu couldn't bear it, but she had also heard about the incidents between Mei's mother and daughter and Chao Qingtang, she had only been here not long ago, so it was hard to say anything, and the matter of Liuli was not her fault. Those who were qualified to interrupt also sat back.

Ji Jiaoer found out that when Concubine Hui went to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense in the early morning three days later, Prince Gong, Princess Duanqing and Princess Zhaoyang accompanied her.Prince Gong is the son of Concubine Hui, and the other two princesses are descended from other concubines, but they have a very good relationship with Prince Gong.The reason for coming this time is because even if Prince Gong leaves Beijing to go to the fiefdom, Concubine Hui and the princesses come to pray for his safety before parting.

Prince Gong has just come of age, but the two princesses are already in their prime.As soon as the news of going out of the palace to pray for blessings came out, it immediately caused a sensation, and at the same time caused a sensation in Liuli.But this has always been full of trivial matters, and I don't have time to go into the harem to inquire in person, so I let Ji Jiaoer go.

Liuli said: "Go and watch Zhongyonghou, don't let him get away."

Ji Jiaoer said: "The little one sent ten people to watch in turn, but he couldn't fly even with wings."

About three days later, Liuli simply relaxed her mind. It happened that Haitang heard that she was pregnant, so she went back to her house to see her, and they played in the back garden for a day.The next morning the concierge announced that Mrs. Lu had come.

Mrs. Lu is the mother of Lu Wanzhen, the natal younger siblings of Concubine Yu, whom Concubine Xiao Qi said.The last time after Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Lu went back, Madam Lu sent a post to ask to see her. Liuli didn't know why she came, so she deliberately left her alone for a few days. When she went to Banping Hutong that day, she also came, and I didn't see her. Looking at her, thinking about it, let it go, but unexpectedly came.

Liuli asked someone to take her to the small flower hall to sit.First, through the screen, he put on his makeup inside and looked at her for a while before coming out again.

This is the first time she has seen Mrs. Lu, and she probably has checked the details in the past few days. It turns out that the ancestors of the Lu family were also a prominent family in Beijing, otherwise their aunt would not have married the prince as a concubine back then. With the change of dynasty, it gradually declined. Although there is still momentum, it is only an empty shelf. Lu Shiyuan was originally appointed as the magistrate of Guangxi. errands.So at the beginning, she really wanted to restore her family reputation by marrying Lu Wanzhen into the palace, but unfortunately she still failed to do so.

Liuli couldn't figure out what this Mrs. Lu was looking for her for, and it clearly had nothing to do with her.

"Meet the princess!"

Seeing Liuli coming out, Mrs. Lu quickly stood up and saluted.

Liuli smiled and said, "Madam Lu, please sit down."

Mrs. Lu still sat down in her original position, looked up at Liuli, and quickly avoided her eyes.Liuli didn't take it seriously, and waved someone to serve the tea.Then he said: "Madam came here specially, what can I do for you?"

Mrs. Lu showed some embarrassment on her face, she watched the little girl put the tea away, and then said: "It's a bit hard to tell." As she spoke, she glanced at the room of maids standing around, it seemed that she wanted Liuli to call her go down.The corner of Liuli's lips curled up, pretending not to see it, she stretched out her hand to ask for tea, then lowered her head to look at the ups and downs of tea leaves in the cup.

This is Mrs. Lu's fault.Don't say that the status of the two of them is high or low now, just say that it is her first visit, and she shouldn't behave like this.Liuli instantly understood Mrs. Lu's upbringing.

Seeing that she was not moving, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak: "I took the liberty to come here today because I have something to ask the princess."

Liuli smiled and said, "Madam, why don't you come and listen."

Mrs. Lu said: "The little girl Wanzhen, who is just as young as Ji this year, has also studied poetry and boudoir rituals with her teacher since she was a child. She can't be called one in a thousand in appearance, but she is also the best in appearance. I come here today because I want to do it for you." The little girl seeks a home."

"Looking for a home?" Liuli unconsciously raised her final voice, and said with a smile, "Madam's words are very puzzling." When did she become a matchmaker?He even ran to her to ask for a home?Could it be that he fell in love with Qi Yunhao?She is alert.Although this idea is a bit absurd, no matter how depraved the Lu family is, they might go to the main wife and ask for their daughter to be brought in as a concubine, but other than that, she seems to be unable to think of other possibilities.

"It's like this," Mrs. Lu's face became more and more embarrassed. "At first we intended to send our daughter to the palace to serve the Holy Majesty, but now we also know that the Holy Majesty has no such intention. We dare not force it, but this is not true in our place. If the word spread, it would be embarrassing for the little girl to find another family now. So I want to ask the princess to lead the way, or let the little girl enter the palace to accompany her."

It turned out that I still wanted to end this nepotism!Liuli had an epiphany.The gaze towards Mrs. Lu became more complicated.What she said seemed reasonable, and she cared so much about the face of her family and daughter, but if she really had such scruples about face, how could she have revealed the matter before she had even written her horoscope?Either they are too arrogant, or they are too stupid!

"I can't help you with this matter. How can we, the courtiers, be the masters of the Holy Majesty's affairs?" Liuli picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "The ancestors of the Lu family are also close ministers of the emperor. Madam should know whether something should be done or not."
