Chapter 12 Anxiety
The sun rose as usual, and everything in Chuxiu Palace was quiet. Qiu Feng opened the door of Cui Xiu’s palace and walked inside. Qiu Feng said quietly: "Empress, you are welcome." Are you awake? It's time to get up."
Cui Xiu was sleeping on her side facing the bed. When she heard the sound, her eyes slowly opened, and the two black shadows under her eyes were particularly obvious. She turned around slowly, her whole body flat. Lying on the bed.
"Qiufeng, what time is it now?" Cui Xiu looked at the bed curtain without any intention of shifting his gaze.
Qiu Feng listened to Cui Xiu’s words. She walked up to Cui Xiu and respectfully replied: “It’s already time to reply to your Majesty.”
The rules of the Ming Qi harem were to go to the Queen's Palace to pay respects. After listening to the Queen's lecture for half an hour, Cui Xiu asked for leave because her delivery was approaching. The Queen was considerate and allowed her to rest in the palace.
After giving birth to the child, go to see An for training as usual.
Cui Xiu originally wanted to rest early, but there were some things that she couldn't figure out. After thinking about it for a while, she became sleepy, and then it became a little difficult to fall asleep again.
"Qiu Feng, help me." Cui Xiu originally wanted to hold herself up, but her belly was really big and her strength was not as strong as before.
Qiu Feng responded and stretched out her hand to help Cui Xiu up. When she heard the noise coming from outside, she subconsciously looked out the window and asked, "What's this noise?"
< br>
"My slave, take a look." Qiu Feng stood up and walked to the window. He opened the window and saw Ning Cairen walking back and forth outside.
Qiu Feng was suspicious, so he pulled the window back, turned around and said to Cui Xiu, "It's Ning Cai who is outside."
"I don't know what she wants to do, she's going back and forth. "
Cui Xiu listened to Qiu Feng's words, and her eyes suddenly froze when she looked at the mattress. She thought to herself, what kind of way is it to walk back and forth outside without rest in the early morning.
Could it be that Dr. Zhang found a trick to slow down labor for her? Maybe, after all, such behavior is too strange.
Doctor Zhang was very efficient. He quickly found a way to slow down labor for Ning Cai. She recalled that Ning Cai also went through this process for a period of time in her last life.
At that time, she curiously asked Ning Cai people why they had to get up and walk every morning. The queen allowed them to rest more, that is, she wanted them to move less and reduce the risk to the fetus.
Ning Cairen told her at that time that this was their Jiangnan rule. A pregnant woman should walk more before pregnancy, so as to facilitate childbirth.
Cui Xiu didn't think much about it at the time. She thought that the customs and habits of each place were different, so she didn't take it seriously at the time.
Now that she thinks about it, it is somewhat strange. She has never heard of such a custom. If more activities can facilitate production, then why has this habit not been publicized?
Jiangnan is not a remote place, it is quite rich. If there is anything good, it will naturally spread to the capital.
In short, no matter how you think about Ning Cairen's words, they are full of loopholes.
Cui Xiu did not hesitate and asked Qiu Feng to help her wash up. After dressing up, she began to walk.
Ning Cairen took action, so she couldn't be idle. Since Ning Cairen wanted to delay the delivery, she should also delay the delivery. These days would never overlap.
As soon as Cui Xiu went out, Ning Cairen saw her and took the initiative to greet her: "Sister Jia Fei."
Cui Xiu looked at Ning Cairen, with an indifferent expression, nodded slightly, and said: "Sister Ning, what are you doing?"
"Why did you get up so early? Wandering around in the yard."
Ning Cairen listened to Cui Xiu's words and responded with a smile: "My sister's family has always had a rule that pregnant women should move around more during pregnancy."
"I was lazy before, so I didn't get up to walk."
"I thought I was about to give birth, so I just left for a few days. I thought I could follow the customs of my hometown and give birth easily." Ning Cairen had already thought about what she said. Cui Xiu nodded thoughtfully when she heard what she said.
"Can this rule bring any benefits?"
Cui Xiu looked interested. When Ning Cairen heard Cui Xiu's interest, she didn't think much about it. , and then followed what Cui Xiu said to her.
I didn’t realize at all that Cui Xiu meant to dig a hole for her.
“Of course there are benefits, but they are too detailed and my sister won’t be able to list them all in a short while.”
People from Ningcai were afraid that Cui Xiu would become suspicious, so they thought of saying a few more words to make Cui Xiu believe that this was indeed the custom in their hometown.
Ning Cairen felt that Cui Xiu never cared much about these trivial matters. Even if he cared, he would not do anything.
Ning Cairen knew that although Cui Xiu asked, she would not think too much about it. She, the legitimate daughter of a general who grew up with many stars in her eyes, did not understand what human heart was at all.
She had everything when she was born and didn't have to do anything. She became a concubine as soon as she entered the palace. The Queen Mother liked her. Although the Queen Mother didn't like her, she didn't dare to do anything big.
In the eyes of Ningcai people, Cui Xiu, a concubine, was born to be blessed.
She didn't have to be like them, who had to fight after entering the harem, not only to fight but also to fight to the death. Ordinary people would lose their property if they couldn't win, but they couldn't.
If you lose, you will lose your life; if you win, you will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime.
Cui Xiu felt the gaze from Ning Cairen, and she knew what Ning Cairen was thinking at the moment.
"Since there are so many benefits, I will go with you for a walk."
Cui Xiu said his thoughts lightly. As soon as these words came out, Ning Cai The person's eyes froze for a moment, and then became a little stiff, as if he was surprised that Cui Xiu would bring up such a thing.
Ning Cairen felt that Cui Xiu had always been a superior concubine, and that she only let her come to Chuxiu Palace out of charity and pity.
She was very grateful to Concubine Jia, but she also hated Concubine Jia.
Cui Xiu's eyes have a natural agility. When he looks at Ning Cai, he always gives people a clear feeling, which is hard to refuse.
Cui Xiu was born as a general, and she always goes straight in everything she does. She has never been willing to deal with others too much. It is precisely because of this that people think she is an extremely arrogant person. people.
"What? Is my sister unwilling?" Cui Xiu deliberately added one more sentence, confirming the question and blocking Ning Cairen's answer.
Ning Cai Ren Fang Fang reacted, waved her hand and responded: "Of course. I am willing."
Ning Cai Ren said this reluctantly. She had already denied Cui Xiu's words many times in her heart, but she couldn't. Can't refuse.
Cui Xiu followed Ning Cairen's words and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, I am worried that my sister will not be happy."
"If my sister is not happy, you can talk to me. . ”
“I have never been an unreasonable person.”
When Ning Cairen listened to Cui Xiu's words, she always felt like she was being plotted, but she couldn't tell where she was being plotted.
Ning Cairen felt that he was very anxious and angry now.
