Chapter 108, Sour Pomegranate (2/4)

When the queen heard the noble man Niuhulu explain the toxicity of the Immortal Flower, she did not show any surprise, but smiled faintly: "Is that true? The Immortal Flower will break blood and damage the fetus? Then you have to stay away."

The nobleman Niuhulu hurriedly said, "Thank you for the care of the Empress. I have been pregnant since I was pregnant and my nails are not stained. There is no phoenix flower in Yongshou Palace."

The queen smiled and nodded: "That's good."

The queen smiled and worried again: "I heard that Geng Guiren is having fun recently."

A strange look flashed in the eyes of nobleman Niuhulu, but then she smiled and said, "Sister Geng is a little disgusted. My maid invited her to come to see the Queen, but Sister Geng refused." - This was clearly a way to give Geng a eye drop in front of the Queen.

The queen pretended not to hear it and smiled and said, "The first three months are the time when morning sickness is most likely. It's so hard to have sex again."

The noble man Niu Hulu said, "The Empress is so serious. Although Sister Geng is occasionally happy, her appetite is still very good. She asked the eunuch in the kitchen to go to Yongshou Palace to learn how to make rose-flavored cakes."

A trace of anger that was not to be noticed in the queen's eyes, "It is a blessing to be able to eat. The craftsmanship of the small kitchen in Yongshou Palace is indeed awesome."

The nobleman Niuhulu was secretly jealous: Almost all the chefs in Yongshou Palace were rewarded by the emperor, and their cooking skills were probably not inferior to Jingren Palace.

At this time, the palace maid brought a plate of pomegranates with green skin and red flesh. The rosy pomegranate seeds were as crystal clear as rubies. The queen glanced at them and said, "The pomegranates paid by the Shandong Governor this year are particularly sour. I am a little uncomfortable with it. Noble Niuhulu might as well try them."

"Thank you for your reward." The nobleman Niuhulu looked happy and peeled a pomegranate and started eating it with relish.

The queen smiled, "Since you are pregnant, you are becoming more and more stingy."

Qianshun, the noble man from Niuhulu, smiled, "I have become more and more fond of recently. The pomegranates sent to my maids and concubines are far less than those from the ones here. But my maids and concubines feel that they are tight and they have eaten them all early in the morning." As she said that, she lowered her head and peeled the pomegranate seeds, and ate them very sweetly.

The queen smiled and said, "The pomegranates delivered to my palace this year are twice as many as in previous years, and I can't finish them." As she said, the queen saw that her nails were dyed, she ordered Hui Li: "You go and put two baskets in it and send them to Qixiang Palace. Niu Hulu and Geng are both good."

"Yes, Empress."

The nobleman Niuhulu quickly stood up, bowed his knees and said with gratitude, "Thank you for the grace of the Queen!"

Return to Qixiang Palace.

The palace maid Cui Xiang hurriedly closed the door of the East Side Hall. She looked at the large basket of pomegranates on the table, revealing a sad look. "My master, we have finally finished eating the pomegranates sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before..."

The nobleman Niuhulu covered his sore cheeks with one hand and glared at Cuixiang: "If you have time, you might as well eat a few more pomegranates for me!"

Cui Xiang said bitterly: "Why is this little master? The pomegranate is so sour this year. What if it hurts your teeth, what will be good?"

The nobleman Niuhulu's face suddenly became a little gloomy, "Although the Empress treats me well, she is just that whenever there is a reward, Sister Geng is indispensable."

Cuixiang looked puzzled: "Guru Geng is so close to Yongshou Palace, isn't the Empress angry?"

Nuo Hulu sneered: "I'm just pretending not to be angry." She looked down at her belly that had just appeared, "The Empress is nothing more than worrying that my child may not be the prince, so she treats Nuo Geng well!"

Cuixiang hurriedly said, "The little master is the most blessed person. This child must be a prince!"

The nobleman Niuhulu suddenly fell silent. After a long time, she sighed, "I hope so." - The emperor now dislikes her, afraid that she will not have the chance to conceive another child.

In the west side hall opposite.

Guiren Geng looked at the pomegranate with a happy red pomegranate. Although he liked it tightly, he couldn't help but show an uneasy look.

Kui'er smiled and said, "Young Master, don't you like pomegranates the most? The basket of pomegranates that the Queen rewarded is big and fresh. Why are you unhappy?"

Guiren Geng sighed and said, "The better the Empress is to me, the more worried I am."

Kui'er blinked, still confused.

Geng Guiren whispered: "The queen has no son and must have to adopt her. Niu Hulu is naturally the first choice, but before the melon ripens, who knows whether it is a prince or a princess? What if Niu Hulu gave birth to a princess..."

Guiren Geng stroked his lower abdomen and sighed quietly.

"I just hope she has a prince." Geng Guiren murmured.

Kui'er hurriedly said, "She sees that the East Pian Palace has been calling some sour food recently. As the saying goes, the sour and spicy girl, it seems that she should be a prince."

"I hope..."

At this moment, what Niuhulu and Geng expected were the same.

Kui'er whispered: "I just went to the tea warehouse to get some tea. On the way back, I saw the emperor's imperial guard stopping outside Yongshou Gate. I'm so lucky to see Concubine Yao." Kui'er's tone was a little sour.

Geng fell silent.

Kui'er suddenly had an idea, "My master, why don't you just take the opportunity to go to Yongshou Palace and show your face in front of the emperor."

Guiren Geng immediately glared at Kui'er fiercely: "You don't even think about this kind of thing in the future!" - She finally got along with Yao Pin, how could she break the relationship just to meet the emperor a few times? Moreover, the emperor doesn't like women who are full of calculating!

Kui'er shrank her neck and lowered her head: "I realized that I was wrong."

Geng Guiren suddenly felt a little moved. When the emperor was in Yongshou Palace, she could certainly get up with shame. But if she might as well sit more often on weekdays, she might meet the emperor.

On the platform and under the corridor outside the main hall of Yongshou Palace, there are large and small pots of flowers and trees, which are simply a small garden. Yao Jiaxin simply puts tables and chairs on the hem of the corridor outside the west window, and often sits here to enjoy tea and snacks every day. The flowers are surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, and the flowers are filled with joy.

But there is one disadvantage, that is, it spends too much and has almost no place to stand.

Yinzhen looked at the small garden, and he couldn't help but nodded, and did not enter the main hall. He took Tian'er's little hand and stepped into the flowers and sat on the rattan chair. He nodded slightly: "The ones Tian'er packed here are quite interesting. It reminds me of the flower gardens in the Old Summer Palace."

Yao Jiaxin smiled and said, "How can I compare these pots of flowers and trees in the garden?" As she said that, she couldn't help but yearn for it, "I wonder when I will be lucky to go to the garden to escape the summer heat."

Yinzhen's mouth curled up a little curve, "The garden has been well-built, and I plan to go to the garden next year to avoid the noise and listen to the government."

Yao Jiaxin was happy and her eyes were shiny at the Fourth Master: "The emperor will bring concubines with him, right?"

Seeing Tian'er's eagerness, Yinzhen couldn't help but tease her. The flowers and trees on the left and right are all waiting in the open space under the platform and outside the main hall gate, so it was a relatively private space. Yinzhen raised Yao Jiaxin's chin with his thin cocoon index finger, and he whispered in a burning voice: "That depends on whether Tian'er is obedient tonight."
