Time is swaying, and nearly a month has passed; during this period, Hong Ling has become the object of protection for everyone in the palace.
"Empress! Be careful!" Ruyi carefully held Hong Ling and wandered around the imperial garden.
Hong Ling smiled: "It's not been three months yet! Look, you're nervous!"
"Empress! The imperial doctor said that you must be extra careful in the first three months!" Ruyi glanced at the road with her sharp eyes to prevent her master from being tripped by something.
"You are always looking for your life. Even if Hong Ling doesn't want to know, she will know!" Hong Ling chuckled helplessly; her caution towards Ruyi was really at the point where there was nothing to say!
"It's good if the empress knows!" He looked at his master with his eyes: "You must be cautious now, be cautious and cautious!"
"Okay! Hong Ling remembers it!" Hong Ling surrendered and spoke so that she would not be kept reciting.
"Empress! I will help you to sit in the pavilion?"
Hong Ling nodded gently; with Ruyi's support, she walked towards the pavilion not far away.
"Ruyi! Go and fold a peony!" Hong Ling suddenly ordered.
"Yes! Empress!" Ruyi trotted all the way to the flowers, stretched out her hand to break the most vigorous flowers that were blooming.
Hong Ling walked into the pavilion, caressing her abdomen with kind expression.
"Empress!" Ruyi handed the flower to Hong Ling.
Hong Ling took the flower and caressed the petals: "It's so good to bloom!"
"Yes!" Ruyi glanced at the Peony Garden and said with a smile: "It's strange; this year's peonies are blooming very vigorously!"
"Maybe it's because of the climate!" Hong Ling smiled faintly.
Ruyi nodded silently.
Hong Ling played with the peonies in her hand; she suddenly stretched out her fingertips and pulled off the petals one by one.
Ruyi glitted suspiciously and stared at her master.
"..." Hong Ling Cherry kept muttering to herself in her little mouth, but it was unreal.
Ruyi finally couldn't help but speak: "Empress! What are you counting?"
Hong Ling made a 'shhhh' gesture to Ruyi, and then continued to murmur to herself.
"……"As one wishes.
After a long time, Hong Ling finally pulled out all the petals.
"Empress! Can you say it now?"
Hong Ling raised her pretty face and smiled at Ruyi: "Hong Ling is counting, is the petal odd or even number!"
"Ah?!" It seems that the Empress is really idle!
"Even numbers are girls, and odd numbers are boys!" Hong Ling said, the purpose of counting the petals.
"Did the Empress count the odd or even?" Ruyi asked.
"Even!"
"Ah?!" Ruyi's face collapsed instantly.
Hong Ling laughed: "Brother Yiyi said, boys and girls are good!"
"That won't work!" Ruyi frowned slightly: "It must be a boy!"
"Is there any difference?" Hong Ling didn't mind very much.
"Yes!" Ruyi focused on the key points and analyzed the interests of the stakes: "If the Empress gave birth to a prince, no matter who it is in the future, you will not be able to move your status in the harem; if on the contrary, you gave birth to a girl; and the imperial concubine will take the lead.
, give birth to the prince; it is hard to say about the future!"
Hong Ling's smile on her face froze a little.
"Empress! You must be more motivated and add a fat and fat prince to the emperor!"
After being silent for a long time, Hong Ling bit her cherry lips: "...Hong Ling has the final say in this kind of thing!"
"..." Ruyi opened her mouth; she thought about it and didn't know what to say!
From the corner of my eyes, I saw two figures walking in front and behind in the distance; my heart felt a little uncomfortable.
"Empress! What's wrong?" Ruyi asked carefully when she noticed that her master was strange.
Hong Ling shook her head gently: "Nothing! I just saw two people!"
Ruyi followed the eyes of her master and saw Ziyi and Xiaoru walking towards her.
"It's so unlucky!" Ruyi murmured.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Hong Ling scolded softly.
Ruyi curled her lips and didn't say anything.
"I bow to the Queen!"
"Ziyi bowed to the queen!" Ziyi gently stroked her body.
"Get up!" Hong Ling smiled with a smile on her lips.
Xiao Ru replied: "I bow to the Imperial Concubine!"
"Get up!" Zi Yixian raised his fingers lightly.
Hong Ling raised her chin and signaled: "Sit back!"
"Yes!" Ziyi sat down opposite Hong Ling; from the corner of her eyes, she glimpsed the petals scattered on the ground: "This..."
"I am free and I'm just having fun!" Hong Ling looked at Ziyi: "What? Sister is feeling sorry for me?"
Ziyi shook her head gently: "No! It's a pity that it blooms such beautiful flowers!"
"Sister is really a flower lover!" Hong Ling said indifferently.
Ziyi looked shy and drooped her pretty face: "It made the queen laugh!"
"Where is it!"
The atmosphere began to slowly fall silent.
"Can the imperial doctor diagnose the queen's sister? Are you pregnant with a boy or a girl?" Ziyi spoke out and broke the silence.
Ruyi snorted coldly in her heart; now we will start inquiring!
Hong Ling smiled: "It's still young now, and it will take some time to diagnose it!"
"Depending on my sister's complexion, this fetus must be the prince!"
"Then let me borrow my sister's auspicious words!" Hong Ling smiled, not reaching her eyes.
"Empress! It's time for your rest!" Ruyi spoke up to remind.
Hong Ling looked at the sky and chuckled: "No wonder she feels a little tired!"
"Then sister of the queen, go back and rest!" Ziyi said softly.
Hong Ling stood up with Ruyi's support: "Then sister sit back by herself, I will go back to rest first!"
"Zi Yigong gave the queen sister!"
"I respectfully send you to the Empress!"
It was not until Hong Ling and Ruyi walked away that Zi Yi and Xiao Ru slowly stood up.
"Empress! Why did you just say that she could have a boy?!" Xiaoru finally seized the opportunity and expressed her opinion.
Ziyi laughed: "Ziyi is not a golden word, she says that a man is a man, and a woman is a woman!"
"Then the queen can't say it!" Xiaoru said frustrated: "What if I accidentally speak so hard?"
"That's fate!"
"Empress..." Xiaoru frowned.
Ignoring Xiaoru's cry, Ziyi walked several steps and suddenly squatted down.
Xiaoru stepped forward and looked at her master's hand movements: "Empress! Why are you picking up the petals?"
"They are scattered on the ground, it's very pitiful!" Ziyi continued to move.
Xiaoru squatted down and said, "So what?"
"Ziyi wants to bury them!" Ziyi's face did not change and expressed her thoughts.
"..." I know that you love flowers, but there is no need to love them like this, right?!
Ziyi raised her eyes and looked at Xiaoru: "Let's pick it up together!"
Xiaoru sighed silently and accepted her fate and did stupid things with her master.
The two of them moved very quickly, and soon they saw petals scattered all over the ground picking up one after another.
Staring at the petals wrapped in her clothes, she asked, "Empress! Where do you want to bury them?"
Ziyi glanced around and her eyes finally fell into the flowers: "Just buried at the root of the flowers! They are also going home!"
"Yes!" Xiao Ru responded and followed her master toward the flowers.
