"Back to the empress, I've found it." Bicui responded hurriedly.
"Okay," the Crown Princess nodded, "try to find a way to recommend those stable mothers to the Zhenguo Palace. Concubine Ye is a cautious person, and the stable mothers who delivered babies will definitely go to her natal family to ask for them. As long as we send them early
Arrange him there, and she will definitely bring him into Mingyue Palace herself."
Concubine Ye, she can't tolerate it anymore. As long as she gives birth to the child, it will be her death!
As June passed and entered July, the weather gradually started to get hotter, and Ye Fuxun's belly gradually became bigger.
She didn't dare to be lazy even though she was heavy, and would take a walk in the yard after every meal.
Because Ji Yannuo didn't restrain her, he would go out of Mingyue Palace every day and wander around the Prince's Mansion, which became a unique scenery in the Prince's Mansion.
"Mother," Xiao Yu and Qiao'er loyally guarded Ye Fulun and accompanied her in the garden to enjoy the flowers, "have you noticed that every time we go out to enjoy the flowers, there are many concubines nearby who will peek at you."
Ye Fuxun curved the corner of his mouth and glanced at the flowers, and saw a round-faced concubine sticking her head out. When she saw her, she quickly stood up and curtsied, looking a little cute for no reason.
"That's Lei Meiren." Xiao Yu told Ye Fuxun in a low voice.
Ye Fuxun nodded to Lei Meiren and smiled lightly.
As soon as Lei Meiren was seen brushing the ground, she blushed, turned around and ran away, startled like a rabbit.
"Sister," Zhu Liangyuan came up quickly not far away, "Why did you come out for a walk so early today?"
Ye Fuxun smiled and said: "Seeing that the weather is nice, I thought I would come out early, maybe I could just meet you."
Zhu Liangyuan had just come back from Lanxi Palace to greet her. She held her arm with Ye Fulun and said: "It will be Chinese Valentine's Day in a few days. The Crown Princess left her maids and concubines to wait for a few people to come down to discuss the activities to be held in the palace, so my sister came back
It’s a little late.”
It's Chinese Valentine's Day again. Ye Fuxun thought of last year's Chinese Valentine's Day and asked curiously: "Will there be a begging and needle-threading competition this year?"
Zhu Liangyuan lowered her voice: "The Crown Princess said that holding a begging and needle-threading competition every year is too boring, so this year we will change the pattern."
Ye Fuxun pursed his lips into a smile. The princess was not doing this because she was bored. She was probably because she was embarrassed by the needle-piercing incident last year and she didn't want to hold such a competition again.
I heard Zhu Liangyuan continue to say, "Concubine Zhang said that although there is no begging for needlework, it is the Qixi Festival after all, and it is necessary for the sisters to show off their ingenious talents.
I just said that we can hold a tea party, where the sisters can show off their embroidery skills according to their personal circumstances, and then play some games for fun."
"The Crown Princess agrees?" Ye Fuxun felt that as long as anything related to needles, the Crown Princess would not be interested.
Zhu Liangyuan nodded and said: "The Crown Princess has no objection and said that this tea party will be handled by Concubine Zhang with full authority."
On the Chinese Valentine's Day, when Ye Fuxun was taking a walk after having snacks in the morning, he could hear the sound of opera singers coming from the Qunfang Building in the distance.
She really wasn't interested in singing a big show, so she went back to Mingyue Palace to rest after taking a walk. As her belly got bigger and bigger, her ability to sleep increased exponentially.
Sometimes I sit in a daze for a while, and even squint my eyes and fall asleep. Not to mention going to a big show. I'm afraid that if someone doesn't hear what is being sung clearly, I will turn around and think it's a lullaby. This stage is like a lullaby.
morning.
After Ye Fuxun had lunch and rested, he finally could no longer hear the faint sound of opera singers.
"Is Sister Zhu back?" She asked, lying lazily on the bed, sleeping lazily.
Xiao Yu twisted the handkerchief and handed it over: "Go back to the queen, Zhu Liangyuan came back for lunch at noon. After resting for a while, she went to Qunfang House again. She said there was a tea party in the afternoon."
"When Zhu Liangyuan left, he asked his slave to deliver a message to the empress," Qiaoer said with a smile, "If the empress is free in the afternoon, she can go to the tea party."
Ye Fuxun sat up and finally became energetic: "Sister Zhu is still thinking about me. Go and get the refreshments. After I have used them, I will go to Qunfang Building to have a look."
In Qunfang Tower, there were chirping orioles and constant laughter. When Ye Fuxun arrived, he saw all the concubines sitting in a circle, eating and chatting, very happy.
She turned her eyes around but never saw Zhu Liangyuan. Instead, a concubine whispered: "Concubine Ye is here."
"Hey, who is this palace?" Mrs. Zhang's voice came from above, "It turns out that it's our Concubine Ye who is here to visit us. It really makes Qunfang Tower shine!"
"Hurry up and give Concubine Ye a seat!"
Ye Fuxun was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang's strange accent. After greeting the concubines, he found a place to sit down.
After sitting down, I saw Zhu Liangyuan threading needlework in the center, bowing to her and then continuing to half-bend in the big carousel.
"What is Sister Zhu doing?"
Ye Fuxun stood up and walked over, only to find that the large turntable was filled with needles inserted vertically. At first glance, it seemed that there were at least dozens of needles.
Some needles have the tip facing upward, and some needles have the eye facing upward.
Zhu Liangyuan was taking the needle and thread next to her and threading the needles one by one. She laughed softly and said: "Back to the empress, my sister just lost in the embroidery competition, so according to the rules, she has to finish threading the needle and thread."
Ye Fuxun looked at the blood beads on her hand because she accidentally touched the needle tip when she was threading the needle. He was so angry that he held her hand and asked: "Sister Zhu's embroidery skills are so good, how did she lose?"
A competition?"
Even if you lose, letting someone thread a needle on such a big turntable is clearly intentionally hurting someone!
Mrs. Zhang sat on top and covered her mouth with a smile: "Could Concubine Ye have to protect Zhu Liangyuan who lost the competition just because she is the concubine? The deep love between the sisters is really touching.
I'm just willing to admit defeat. If Zhu Liangyuan loses, I won't tell you earlier. I've always been in large numbers, so it's not impossible to spare you."
Ye Fuxun raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhang. Perhaps because the event was related to needle threading, the Crown Princess did not come to attend. The biggest person in the entire venue besides her was Mrs. Zhang.
Ms. Zhang smiled arrogantly and wantonly. Originally, she just guessed that Zhu Liangyuan was being punished strangely. But now after looking at Mrs. Zhang's face, she was sure that she was deliberately trying to embarrass Zhu Liangyuan.
"I wonder what the rules are for Concubine Zhang's embroidery competition. Could you please let me know?"
She firmly pulled Zhu Liangyuan to the seat next to her, and after sitting down, she slowly looked at Concubine Zhang.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhang shrugged and was too lazy to explain, and only said: "With all the sisters watching the competition, is it possible that this palace will deliberately punish Zhu Liangyuan? If Concubine Ye doesn't believe it, you can ask the sisters."
Ye Fuxun frowned slightly and glanced at the concubines sitting in a circle.
She was usually not very good at socializing with the concubines in the backyard. The only one she was familiar with was Zhu Liangyuan. Mrs. Zhang felt confident in saying this now because she was sure that no concubine would dare to explain the situation clearly in front of her.
