The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(149)

It’s also June, the hottest time of the year.

Yao Niang has always been intolerant of heat, and now there are two of them. She is covered in sweat every time she moves, as if she has been washed by water.

She wanted to use ice, but the red silk jade cicada wouldn't let her, fearing that she would catch a cold, so she asked her to endure it until she was alive. In fact, Yao Niang knew that they were lying to her. After giving birth, she would have to undergo confinement. When this period of time was over, summer would be over.

She was irritated by the heat, and her temper was getting louder and louder. She usually knew how to be gentle and petty, but recently she didn't know whether it was because of King Jin's habit, or because she was a pregnant woman, and her temper fluctuated a lot, and she had been fighting with King Jin a few times. He spoke twice, and even swung his face several times.

For the first time, King Jin was shocked.

After being stunned, seeing how guilty she was, he couldn't bear to scold her.

The second time, I was still shocked.

Thinking that she had a big belly and was about to give birth, I just pretended it never happened.

Once there is one, there are two, and naturally there are three and four, and then there is infinity. Yao Niang is now less and less afraid of King Jin. Just like last night, even though the heat was extremely uncomfortable, he still insisted on sleeping with her arms around her, but Yao Niang turned her head and gave him a bite.

After finishing the bite, Yao Niang was also stunned. In order to make up for it, and to prove that she didn't want to bite him, but just for fun, she kissed and licked him, and greeted the little King Jin all the way, and then the big King Jin didn't care whether it was a real bite or a fake bite, Shu Han The hair stood on end.

Ever since Yao Niang became pregnant, King Jin had never really had sex, and he always clung to her. It happened that she was useless, but she was very greedy. She was useless and left as quickly as she came. After she was gone, she left him alone and just slept by herself.

In fact, it's not that I don't care about him, it's that my body is useless and I want to sleep when I feel comfortable. As soon as I fall asleep, I don't care about him anymore. So every time King Jin had sex with the fifth girl, he suddenly felt that he was going back to the most difficult period when the poison had not been cured.

The young King of Jin had not enjoyed such treatment for a long time, and he did not last long before he abandoned his armor. Knowing that King Jin was very talkative after he felt comfortable, Yao Niang discussed using ice with him.

King Jin was not tempted by the beauty, and still insisted that he would ask Dr. Liu Liang to come and take a look tomorrow.

After spending a long time, the result was this. Yao Niang gave him a slap on the spot and fell asleep angrily.

King Jin was left alone, thinking that he was getting more and more courageous, and at the same time he thought that it would be better to be bolder. He used to have to coax him, but now he doesn't have to coax him, and he is the one who benefits.

In this entanglement, King Jin also slowly fell into sleep.

King Jin kept his word, and Dr. Liu Liang came the next day.

After arriving, he asked Yao Niang for Ping'an pulse first, and then said: "I heard from Your Highness that ice can be used. It is suitable to be comfortable without sweating but not cold. This degree needs to be determined by the concubine herself. "

Yao Niang was immediately happy and took advantage of the situation to ask: "Can it be used during childbirth? Can it be used during confinement?"

"Anything can be used, just don't put it too close."

Yao Niang couldn't help but give Hong Silk a look, and went to thank Dr. Liu Liang again.

After Dr. Liu Liang left, she hurriedly ordered the girls to find ice, and then finally had a lunch without sweating. She even ate half a bowl of rice too much. Yao Niang has lost her appetite recently because of the heat.

After lunch, Yao Niang was only wearing a red silk dress and trousers, lying half on the big kang covered with tooth mats, her limbs stretched out comfortably, and her big belly was high. Sitting next to her was Xiaobao, who was studying her belly.

"Don't move your hands all the time, put them quietly on top, so as not to scare Erbao away from moving."

This is a game that mother and son like to play recently, to find the second treasure.

Xiaobao always heard Yao Niang say that she was moving, but he never knew where exactly it was moving. It was only when he saw Yao Niang's belly bulging with his own eyes that he understood what this movement was.

He felt a strange feeling. Could it be that this was how his mother had given birth to him?

Grow up slowly, little by little, until you can sit, crawl, walk, and talk. Gradually, you have your own thoughts and become a complete person.

Especially when he was reborn, Xiaobao felt it was very magical. There were always many fantastic ideas that made him excited, but also felt absurd. If Xiaobao had studied Taoism, he would probably be able to understand why Hanchuanzi said that he was related to Taoism when he met him for the first time in his previous life.

But he didn't have time to pay attention to these at the moment. He felt that Erbao kicked him.

Yes, the second treasure, Xiaobao stubbornly believed that the one in Yao Niang’s belly was the second treasure. He even named the child Erbao without permission.

He was named because he always pointed at Yao Niang's belly and called her Erbao, ignoring what King Jin told him, she was his sister.

The younger sister is also the second child, this is Xiaobao’s answer.

So Yaoniang could only face the fact that the child in her belly would be called Erbao after birth. For this reason, she even discussed with Xiaobao: "If this is called Erbao, you have to change the name."

"What name should I change?" Xiaobao, who could already speak sentence by sentence, asked in a sweet voice.

"Change it to Dabao. You see, if you call me Xiaobao, you will become Erbao's younger brother. Do you want to be the younger brother?"

Xiaobao will not be deceived. You must know that he has lived two lifetimes. He looked at Yao Niang very firmly and said: "There is no big treasure, only small treasure. This is called the second treasure, and from now on it will be the three treasures and the four treasures."

This time the secret was revealed. How could a one and a half year old baby know how to count? Fortunately, Yao Niang's attention was focused on so many 'treasures', but she didn't notice the strange things about her son.

Fortunately, Hongchou and the others were not there. Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he had to be careful in the future. His stupid mother was fine, but she would never be fooled in front of his father.

Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

The King of Jin walked in from outside. He was wearing a black brocade robe with complicated patterns embroidered with gold thread on the lapels and cuffs. He had three layers inside and three layers outside. It was obvious that he had just returned from the palace. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, which made him feel hot.

"Are you hot? I'll ask the maid to bring clothes for you to change." Yao Niang sat up and was about to get off the kang, but was held down by the King of Jin.

"You sit down, I'll take a bath."

As the voices were spoken, Fucheng and Hongchou came in. Fucheng and the King of Jin entered the inner room, while Hongchou and the others prepared water. Not long after, the King of Jin changed into a thin robe and came back. He sat down in front of the kang and didn't say anything.

Seeing the King of Jin like this, he must have been bullied in the palace.

Yao Niang didn't know how to persuade him, so she asked Hongchou to bring an ice bowl first.

This ice bowl is the most popular snack in Beijing every summer.

It is finely ground ice, put some chopped seasonal fruits, and then pour a layer of rǔ cheese and honey juice on it. It tastes cool and delicious, which can relieve heat and taste good.

Unfortunately, Yao Niang can't eat more, so she only dares to eat a few bites each time, and then the rest goes to King Jin.

Originally, King Jin doesn't like sweet food, but seeing Yao Niang's pitiful and greedy look, he ate it twice and it was quite tasty. From then on, it was classified as one of the foods that can be placed in front of him.

Today, raspberries and plums are placed in the ice bowl, which is Yao Niang's favorite flavor. Another flavor she likes is cold melon. A layer of rǔ cheese is poured on the small, tender and bright red raspberries and plums, and under it is white smoke-emitting ice chips, and some glutinous red beans are placed next to it for decoration. The plums were pickled in honey in advance, and they tasted sour and sweet, but not too sour.

Whenever Yao Niang thought of the taste, her mouth could not help but drool.

Xiao Bao also drooled, and his two pairs of dark eyes looked at King Jin.

For a moment, King Jin felt like he couldn't bear to eat.

He pushed the glass bowl on the kang table forward, and Yao Niang smiled immediately: "Your Highness is the best."

Xiao Bao couldn't say such a lackey's words. He was still a little incompetent in acting like a spoiled child to his father, but he was already very familiar with acting like a spoiled child to his mother.

He pulled Yao Niang, who picked up the glass bowl and scooped a spoonful into her mouth, and the fat boy pointed: "Xiao Bao, eat too." His eyes could melt people.

Yao Niang's mouth was shivering from the cold, and she said to her son vaguely: "Xiaobao can't eat it, he will catch a cold."

"Mom can't eat it either, it will make Erbao cold."

Yao Niang tried to persuade her son: "No, Mom will hold it in her mouth and wait for it to melt before swallowing it." Otherwise, her mouth would not be frozen.

"Xiaobao, hold it in your mouth, wait for it to melt, then swallow it."

Xiaobao, who can talk, is getting harder and harder to coax, and he will talk back. Yao Niang is helpless and negotiates: "Then eat a small bite?"

This time Xiaobao is very vigilant, "one bite, one bite, and another bite."

That is three bites.

"No, too much, only one bite."

"One bite, another bite."

"Only one bite."

Chapter 119

The King of Jin took the glass bowl and scooped a big mouthful into his mouth.

He had just been bullied in the palace, and when he came back to face this scene of eating one bite after another, he suddenly felt that those were nothing. Isn't it just a reduction of the vassal state? His good brothers can accept it, so why can't he accept it? Anyway, Jinzhou is different from other places. The border guards are either the old members of the Shen family or his people. If they can't do it in public, then they can do it in secret. It's just a change of soup but not the medicine.

Yes, after deposing the crown prince, Emperor Hongjing was tossing and reducing the power of the vassal.

What he called reducing the power of the vassal was to retain the fiefdom, but the vassal king returned to the capital.

Since the vassal kings returned to the capital, the military power in their hands must be handed over, and even a series of special cases that the vassal kings had, such as the ability to build guards to protect the safety of the vassal king's mansion and the safety of the vassal king himself, and the tacit consent to withhold half of the taxes in the fiefdom for the purpose of building guards, etc., are gone.

One guard is 3,000, and three guards are 9,000. As long as it is not more than 10,000 on the surface, it will be fine. These are the private soldiers of the vassal kings, but they are generally placed in secret. For example, the King of Jin has 50,000 private soldiers.
