Chapter 719 Musk
Princess Chuyu is pregnant. As the queen of a country, she not only doesn't care about a few words, but also makes trouble for others and rewards women to Chu Jingqi.
Not to mention Chu Jingqi, the queen's behavior made him feel embarrassed, and at the same time, it also chilled the hearts of the courtiers.
You know, in addition to being his good brother, Chu Jingqi was also a young general who made great achievements in Dasheng. However, the queen never praised Chu Jingqi, nor did she reward Xia Zihan. How could she not allow the minister to do this? Chilling?
In the past, when his father was still alive, no matter what gifts were given to his ministers, his mother would also reward them with him. His mother was able to secure her position as queen even when she was forced into desperation by the Lu family. This was because she was usually lenient. Chen has a great relationship.
And the queen he married was unclear at first glance. He would not offend his good brother because of the queen's stupidity.
As for Chu Yu, he decided to make up for her.
Immediately, the emperor issued an order to summon the minister in charge of the key to the medicine storehouse, and rewarded Xia Zihan with a large cart of medicinal materials for health, including the thousand-year-old ginseng that the Queen Mother had mentioned.
Those medicinal materials came back with Chu Jingqi.
Chu Jingqi handed the Thousand-Year Ginseng to Xia Zihan and told her to put it away, "Save this for your delivery."
His mother said that a woman must not miss out on ginseng when giving birth. When she gave birth to her second and third child, she saved her life thanks to the ginseng given by her grandmother.
Xia Zihan put away the ginseng, looked at the time, and ordered the maid to serve dinner.
Chu Jingqi said, "Ayu, let's have something light tonight?"
"Okay, let the cook cook some vegetable porridge."
Fortunately, there was no taste in her mouth, and her stomach felt uncomfortable and tight, and she didn't want to eat.
I don’t know what’s going on, but today’s reaction seems to be more serious than before.
Before the banquet at noon, she clearly ate a green orange. After the banquet, she ate another green orange. She shouldn't be nauseated. Why did she feel nauseated again after she came back?
Xia Zihan covered her mouth and turned a little pale.
"Ayu, are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Chu Jingqi hugged her worriedly and let her lean on the big pillow on the hot bed.
"I don't know what happened. After I came back and took a nap, I started to feel uncomfortable. I felt better after soaking in the hot spring for a while, but now I started to feel uncomfortable again."
Xia Zihan said and secretly took his pulse.
The child in the belly began to kick restlessly again, as if... very uneasy.
She was also very disturbed.
Chu Jingqi peeled off a green orange and fed it to her with her own hands, "Press it and see if it makes her feel better."
"I don't want to eat."
My stomach seems to be dropping again.
Xia Zihan was a little scared, so she pulled Chu Jingqi and said, "Go and see if Chu Qing's medicinal soup has arrived."
"Medicine soup, what kind of medicinal soup?" Chu Jingqi's face tightened, "Is there something wrong with your body?"
"Well, my stomach is a little heavy. Go quickly." Xia Zihan was almost crying from fear and pushed Chu Jingqi to go quickly.
Chu Jingqi looked anxious and was about to run out, but just in time, Chu Qing cooked the soup and brought it in.
Chu Jingqi hurriedly took it.
He blew on it, scooped out a small spoonful, and fed it to Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan felt too slow, so he took the bowl, raised his neck, and drank it all in one gulp.
The hot decoction flowed down the throat and into the stomach. Soon, the abdomen felt warm, and the pain and heaviness seemed to be relieved.
Chu Jingqi took the empty bowl in her hand and said, "What does your hair smell like?"
He leaned over, took a deep breath, and smelled it, "Unfamiliar smell, Ayu, have you changed the shampoo?" "No." She only took a bath just now and did not wash her hair.
"It smells like medicine. Did you just drink it?" Chu Jingqi picked up the empty bowl and smelled the inside of the bowl. "No, the two tastes are different."
Chu Jingqi had a sharp nose and could smell the difference.
Xia Zihan lifted a strand of hair, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. Suddenly her face changed drastically, "It's musky."
"What?" Chu Jingqi was shocked, "Then what do you think? Does your stomach still hurt? Is the child okay?"
Pregnant women should not smell musk. Even a little bit of it may cause miscarriage.
Even if Chu Jingqi is a man, he knows this.
Seeing that he was worried, Xia Zihan patted the back of his hand and said, "I just took the fetal medicine soup and I'm feeling much better."
The feeling of falling is gone.
The child in the belly is much more stable than before.
Chu Jingqi was still worried, "Check your pulse and see."
Xia Zihan hummed and checked his own pulse. After confirming that the slide was much better, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Chu Jingqi asked coldly, with a look of despair on her face, "Ayu, who touched you, can you guess?"
Xia Zihan carefully recalled everything that happened to her in the palace.
The emperor's guards carried her into and out of the palace. The emperor had no reason to harm her. In the main hall, with the queen mother there, no one approached her, and no one dared to blatantly humiliate her in front of the queen mother. Musk.
And the only chance is in the lounge.
At that time, there were only her, the Princess of Pearl, and a few young father-in-laws and maids in the lounge, but the only person who came close to her was the maid who went to get her a change of clothes.
When she was changing clothes, it was the little palace maid who served her. Because she belonged to the Queen Mother, she didn't take precautions. It seemed that... Hong'er was deliberately lured away.
She glanced sharply at her coat that was casually placed on the screen.
She put it on in the lounge.
She pointed to the dress and said, "Take that dress and have a look."
Chu Jingqi hurriedly took the clothes and brought them over. The couple carefully looked through the clothes inside and out. Finally, they saw a little bit of embarrassment on the collar of the clothes.
Xia Zihan's clothes are all made by Yushage's craftsmanship, and the sewing skills are different from the stitches used by ordinary people to sew clothes.
And the stitches on the small opening on the collar are different from other places. If it were someone else, they might not be able to tell without looking carefully, but the needlework of Yusha Pavilion was originally made by Xia Zihan.
It was Xia Zihan who taught Nuanyu Nuanxiang and the others, and Nuanyu Nuanxiang and the others taught it to the embroiderers. Therefore, Xia Zihan was very familiar with the needlework of Yusha Pavilion. She could tell when she saw it. Come to the same place.
She reached out and touched her collar and felt something was different.
"Aqi, go get a pair of scissors." She said excitedly.
Her sewing box was placed on the antique shelf in the room. Chu Jingqi took the scissors and said, "I'll cut it. You stand farther away."
He was worried that there would be something harmful to the fetus in Xia Zihan's belly.
Xia Zihan hummed and sat in the innermost corner of the kang.
