The fact that the emperor could tell her this showed that he cared about her own mood very much. She knew very well that these things were inevitable, so she naturally felt nothing in her heart.
She was still generous and considerate, with a hint of sentimental and false jealousy.
She already knew how to control the emperor's thoughts.
The successful news of the war came back. This was a great joy. The emperor was naturally happy and stayed at Concubine Xuan's house for many days.
But Concubine Xuan never came to Jinxin again.
Jin Xin understood that she and Concubine Xuan couldn't go back, so she didn't worry about it. Since she didn't want to be friends with her, then she wouldn't be friends with her.
Jin Xin seldom went to Kunning Palace to raise her fetus, but Concubine Rong came to her from time to time. Her imperial doctor for pregnancy care was Dr. Fang.
Rong Bin’s baby is a boy.
Jin Xin looked at Rong Bin's belly. It was round and round, and her waist had become thicker. She had really worked hard to raise the baby in the past few months. Her oval face before now looked round and plump. Her complexion looked great, but her body was big. She has grown a lot, and her figure is no longer as slim as before.
Every time she came back here, Jin Xin saw that she was a little fatter than the last time.
Fortunately, she is an optimistic person and is not very anxious about her figure. Instead, she is very pleased that her child is growing well.
"Your belly looks bigger than mine. You should be careful. The baby is too big to be born." Jin Xin reluctantly advised.
"I have been vomiting for a few days since I became pregnant. I want to eat everything, especially meat. The dishes cooked by the cook in my palace are so delicious that I really can't help it." Rong Bin smiled. , picked up another pastry on Jinxin’s table and ate it.
Jin Xin was really envious of her appetite, she could eat anything, she slept well, and her complexion looked good. However, there were a lot of things growing on her face, which were small and thin, a bit like stuffy oil pimples. generally.
"Didn't you ask the imperial doctor to prescribe Bai Chui Huo for you?" Jin Xin asked curiously.
Rong Concubine touched her face, a little embarrassed, "No, I only want to raise the dragon fetus, and I will make other plans after giving birth. The imperial doctor said that some women will be like this when they are pregnant. never mind."
Jin Xin heard this and said, she had never felt like this before. She was tired during pregnancy and her appetite was much worse, but her skin was very good, shiny and smooth. She did not apply facial cream because of her pregnancy. Pink, but my skin tone is better.
Fortunately, Rong Bin has a good attitude. If it were herself, Jin Xin would really know how to seek advice from all over the world to maintain her appearance.
While the two were talking, Lianrong came in and announced, "Mother, the concubine is here."
Jin Xin stopped smiling and looked outside. Concubine Fang was wearing a pink skirt and jacket. She came in with a smile on her face and pretended to be lively, "Sister, I'm here to see you."
Jin Xin remained calm. Although there was a slight smile on her face, there was no smile in her eyes. She looked at Concubine Fang and said, "Concubine Fang hasn't been here for a few days. What are you busy with?"
"Sister, did you miss me? My concubine's family has sent a lot of ingredients to the palace. They are all the best ingredients, and there is also a lot of rouge powder. Now I have specially sent it to my sisters to choose, as an apology."
With that said, someone brought in a whole room of things.
Jin Xin knew that the Liu family was wealthy. They were involved in many industries and had accumulated wealth. They were considered wealthy businessmen in the Celestial Dynasty. Later, they joined the royal family, and their business was even more prosperous. The Liu family was considered to be the leader in the business of connecting water and land. One serving.
The Liu family also sent a million taels of military supplies and countless grain and grass for this war. Almost all the rear supplies for this war were provided by the Liu family.
It’s no wonder that the emperor values the Liu family so much. When something happened to the Liu family before, he didn’t take action against the Liu family, because the Liu family is good at doing business, money begets money, and the Liu family is generous with their dealings. With their daughter in the harem, the combination of money and power is a win-win situation. It's a good thing on both sides.
After being in the palace for more than half a year, Fang Concubine has grown a lot. She seems to be much smoother and more sophisticated. Without her aura, the innocence she performed seems to be false after all.
Rong Bin's mother's family is also a merchant, but they don't have a business as big as the Liu family. They only have some reputation and strength in the local area, and they bought a small official. The business is not small in the local area, but compared with the Liu family, her family's Money is indeed not enough to qualify.
But it’s not like she hasn’t seen the world before. These materials are indeed the most fashionable brocade this year. The colors and styles are very novel. There is also a burst of fragrance on them. It seems that the silk threads have been dipped in flower juice before weaving.
This material was only available for ten horses a year, but now five horses were sent. The Rong family could not even afford one. This concubine gave five horses as promised, which was really a generous act.
Jin Xin looked at the materials. They had different colors and were all very good materials.
But she couldn't bear it.
"No reward for no merit. These things are really valuable. I can't have them. Plus I'm pregnant and don't want to dress up anymore. You'd better take them back." Jin Xin said calmly.
Concubine Fang was a little disappointed when she heard this.
"What can I do if my sister doesn't accept it? Giving these things to the empress is a blessing to them. If my sister doesn't accept them, it means she doesn't like the concubine."
Jin Xin frowned, and rushed to deliver it in such a hurry, saying that there was no problem, but who would believe it.
"There is no shortage of things here in this palace. I am really pregnant and can't smell anything. You can take it back."
Concubine Fang felt regretful and pretended to be bitter, "Sister despises my things."
Hearing this, Concubine Rong stepped forward and stroked the materials. She looked at Jin Xin with envy in her eyes, "Your Majesty, this material is really good. If it is made into clothes and worn on your body, it will definitely make your Majesty dazzling. This fragrance is from before it was woven." It needs to be soaked in flower water for half a year and dispersed, so you can leave it until you give birth before wearing it."
Cui Gu knew that Jin Xin was in a dilemma, and she couldn't be at odds with Fang Concubine. She immediately stepped forward to check the ingredients, smelled them, and praised, "It's indeed very fragrant, but Fang Concubine may be too young to understand. Women When I'm pregnant, I'm very taboo about things with spices. Although it's dyed with the fragrance of flowers, our queen is now sensitive to smells and can't smell anything, so she will let down the good intentions of my concubine."
Hearing this, Concubine Fang pretended to be surprised, "I see, I don't know, so this thing really can't be given as a gift. I will choose something better to give tomorrow."
"The imperial doctor has ordered that our empress is of weak constitution, and all gifts must be inspected by the imperial hospital before being sent. Otherwise, if something happens, and the emperor asks, we slaves will be punished." Cuigu said again. explained.
Fang Bi was startled, "Sister, don't you even believe me?"
"The dragon fetus is the most important thing. Sister, don't worry too much. Since my sister is so kind, I will accept it and ask some imperial doctors to check it out later." Jin Xin said with a smile.
Let the imperial doctor check? How can that work!
Concubine Fang immediately said, "Since this matter is so difficult, it's hard for my sister to give this gift. There's no need for my sister to bother asking the imperial doctor."
Rong Bin looked at the two people going back and forth, a little puzzled, but seeing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, she immediately smiled and smoothed things over.
"The stuff looks good to me, but I'm not sensitive to taste. Why don't you give it to me, sister?"
Jin Xin raised her eyebrows, waiting for Concubine Fang's answer.
