Vol 2 Chapter 475: The secret of the palace

Ren Yaoqi was thinking about all these miscellaneous things, but the princess suddenly asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look at the princess.
The princess smiled slightly: "There have been so many things these days. My wife hasn't spoken together for a long time. It doesn't matter, there are no outsiders here, and it doesn't matter what you say to me."
Sure enough, the maids and maids who had been waiting next did not know when they all retreated.
King Yanbei did not mention the matter of establishing the son before he announced the candidate for the son, as if he had made this decision all of a sudden. After that, the prince and the princess did not mention it in front of them, nor did Ren Yaoqi. Ask more. It's just that Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but think that Xiao Jingxi once asked her if she was not the son of Yanbei Wang, would she be disappointed.
As far as Ren Yaoqi is concerned, is Xiao Jingxi the eldest son? Xiao Jingxi is the eldest son, she will be the eldest concubine, fulfilling her duties. Xiao Jingxi is not a princely son, she is her young wife. When he has free time, he reads calligraphy and painting with her or plays chess with her as he does today, and his life is very comfortable. A lofty status brings corresponding responsibilities, and the latter life may not be more regrettable than the former.
However, Ren Yaoqi did have his own thoughts on this matter. King Yanbei and the princess had a calm and gentle attitude towards this matter, which made Ren Yaoqi feel that it was more of a last resort to set up the little son as the elder son. Rather, it is a certain arrangement.
It’s just that Ren Yaoqi couldn’t figure it out. Although the youngest son was born in the palace and was raised in the palace of the queen dowager, there is even a half chance that he would have been dropped by others, but the concubine Zhao was pregnant. It should be true, because the Yanbei Palace will verify it later. But the Yanbei Palace didn't even worry about the posthumous child left by the ancestor? After all, this is the only blood left by the deceased son.
If the Xiao family is the same as the Ren family, they only see family interests regardless of the life and death of their children, Ren Yaoqi would not be surprised, but after such a period of time, seeing the attitude of the prince and the princess towards their children, Ren Yaoqi Yaoqi felt that the prince and the princess were not cold-blooded people.
Moreover, Ren Yaoqi felt that the princess had a very cold attitude towards the deceased son. He never mentioned it in the ordinary days, as if he had forgotten that there was such a person. Regarding this point, Ren Yaoqi was vaguely aware of this before she married into the Xiao family, but at that time she thought that it might be because the elder son did not grow up under the princess's knees, so the princess's feelings towards him were not as good as the princess Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin. But after the matter of establishing the son, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but doubt it. In short, this incident revealed a weirdness from beginning to end, which made Ren Yaoqi have to think more.
Originally, Ren Yaoqi wanted to find an opportunity to ask Xiao Jingxi, and Xiao Jingxi was rarely free at home these few days. It's just that the two of them spent the past two days together, either reading a book or playing chess, or playing the piano and painting. They had a very comfortable life, so Ren Yaoqi didn't want to mention these things.
Now that the princess mentioned it, Ren Yaoqi thought about it in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, Mother Xin came in and brought a person behind her.
Ren Yaoqi raised his eyes to see that the old woman who came in with Mother Xin turned out to be the mother Gong who helped Ren Yaohua deliver the baby last time. Ren Yaoqi glanced at the princess, and the two of them stopped talking temporarily.
Mother Gong squinted her eyes and looked at the princess and Ren Yaoqi sitting in the front seat, and then she walked forward and tremblingly saluted them with the support of Mother Xin. The princess quickly raised her hand to support Grandma Gong, and let Grandma Xin help Grandma Gong to sit down on a chair beside her.
It has been a while since Ren Yaoqi was married to the princess, but she never saw the grandmother Gong again. She had asked her about her before, and she only said that grandma Gong was older and didn’t like to go out. She was only in the palace. It was raised in a small yard at the back, and Madam Ren Yaoqi gave Madam Gong several sweet-scented osmanthus dumplings and snacks.
The princess was very polite and kind to Grandma Gong. Grandma Gong’s ears were not good. After the two of them spoke a few words, Grandma Gong suddenly looked at Ren Yaoqi and squinted her eyes: "Mrs. Thank you for the glutinous rice and dim sum you gave to the old slave. They are delicious. You don’t know, they bullied my old lady and didn’t give me dim sum."
Mother Xin said helplessly after hearing the words: "Mother, you are talking nonsense in front of the master again! The doctor said you can't eat too much sweets, and the little maids are doing it for your own good."
Grandma Gong nodded: "Yes, those little girls have no rules one by one! It's time to change!"
Mother Xin: "..."
Grandma Gong turned her head and talked to Ren Yaoqi: "Mrs. Young, come, and the old slave will get your pulse."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned, why does she have a good body pulse?
The princess smiled without saying a word, but Mother Xin smiled and said: "Yes, right, right, since Madam Gong is here today, let the young lady get her pulse. Don't look at the young lady, don’t look at her when she is older. Yes. After letting her take the pulse, she will be pregnant soon after keeping it."
Only then did Ren Yaoqi understand that it turned out that Grandma Gong's pulse was to see if her physical condition was suitable for pregnancy. Seeing the princess looking at her with some hope in her eyes, Ren Yaoqi was not easy to refuse, so she stretched out her arm to Madam Gong, Madam Xin hurried over to put a soft pillow under Ren Yaoqi's wrist.
Mother Gong squinted her eyes slightly when she took the pulse, and the fingers on her wrist were still a little trembling. Ren Yaoqi was a little worried about whether she could find her pulse.
Grandma Gong carefully pulsed three times before letting go. She straightened Ren Yaoqi's sleeves and asked, "Young lady, have you taken the prescription that the old slave gave you on time?"
Ren Yaoqi had some doubts about Mother Gong before, so he didn't take the medicine she prescribed.
Seeing the question from Grandma Gong, she said: "Because I was taking other replenishing prescriptions before, I was afraid that it would not be good to mix them together, so I want to wait for the previous prescription to stop before using it again."
Ren Yaoqi didn't lie either. Her maternal grandmother also sent her a body conditioning prescription just before getting married. She ate for a while, but now it has stopped.
Grandma Gong nodded when she heard the words, and said nothing.
The princess smiled and said, "Mother, how is she in Yaoqi? What prescription did you give her before?"
Grandma Gong slowly ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Grandma Xin gave her, and said: "The young lady is still in good shape and there is no problem with having a baby. The old slave gave the princess the recipe you used when you were young. Well, the young lady will eat for a while, so she can be pregnant with a baby earlier, and she will suffer a lot less when she gives birth."
After hearing this, all the people present put their eyes on Ren Yaoqi's stomach, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The princess smiled and said to Ren Yaoqi: "I have used that recipe before. Since Madam Gong gave it to you, you can eat it later. It is of some use."
Seeing the princess say so, Ren Yaoqi blushed and responded.
Mother Gong sat for a while and ate a lot of snacks before she was sent home by Mother Xin. Before leaving, she secretly hid a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in her sleeves. Mother Xin found out and told her about her, so the princess asked Mother Xin to put another plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes back.
After Grandma Gong left, someone came to visit the princess. Before Grandma Gong came, the topic of Ren Yaoqi and the princess could not continue.
The princess said to Ren Yaoqi: "If you have anything you want to know, go back and ask Jingxi, he will tell you." After a pause, he patted Ren Yaoqi's hand, "Good boy, you just have to talk to Jingxi You just live a good life. My mother really wants to hug her grandson. As for other messy things, don’t worry, your father and I are still there, and you won’t suffer."
Ren Yaoqi thought, the princess said that this might be because she was worried that she might have opinions about the prince's establishment of a son, so came to comfort her?
After coming out of Jiuyang Hall, Ren Yaoqi returned to Zhaoning Hall, Xiao Jingxi still did not come out in the study.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and asked Mulberry to take out the recipe that Grandma Gong gave her last time, and carefully pondered it again. Regarding pharmacology, although Ren Yaoqi dare not say that he is proficient, he can still understand it by looking at a prescription. When he got the prescription before, Ren Yaoqi looked at it and found nothing wrong. Now he is careful. After pondering and pondering, I still found nothing wrong. This house is indeed very beneficial to the woman who is about to conceive.
Thinking about the princess's attitude towards Madam Gong, there is nothing strange, and the princess seems to approve of her using this prescription. Could it be that she had been thinking too much before? There is nothing wrong with this grandma Gong?
Ren Yaoqi leaned on the soft collapse, holding the prescription in his hand, thinking, suddenly his hand was empty, and the paper in his hand instantly left his hand.
Ren Yaoqi looked up and saw Xiao Jingxi standing in front of her, holding the prescription that had been taken from her.
"Why are you so serious?"
As Xiao Jingxi asked, he lowered his head and glanced at the paper in his hand, frowning when he saw the name of the medicine, he glanced at Ren Yaoqi and looked at it carefully.
Ren Yaoqi got up and wanted to take it back. Xiao Jingxi raised his arm slightly. Ren Yaoqi threw himself into the air. When he was about to grab it, he was held in his arms by Xiao Jingxi, and his arms could not move. .
Xiao Jingxi is proficient in pharmacology. After reading the prescriptions in his hand, he understood what he was holding. The frowning brows were loosened, and his face was also smiling. He looked down at what was throwing in his arms. Ren Yaoqi: "Do you want to use this recipe?"
With a blushing face, Ren Yaoqi broke away from Xiao Jingxi's embrace, and finally snatched the prescription back, wanting to put it away.
Xiao Jingxi followed: "The prescription is good, where did it come from?"
Ren Yaoqi didn't want to talk to him, but when she thought of Mother Gong, she stopped: "This recipe was given to me by Mother Gong."
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Seeing his expression, Ren Yaoqi simply asked, "Who is this Mother Gong?" RS
