While Shaojiang was talking to Eunuch Cui, Mrs. Jiang started chatting with Jiang Zuiyao. They hadn’t seen each other for several months. Looking at Jiang Zuiyao with a chubby belly, Ms. Jiang said with a smile on her face: "It seems that Tai Guoguang really loves you. I haven’t seen you for several months.

My face looks much better than before."

Jiang really thought that Jiang Zuiyao had been raised in the palace these past few months. The Queen Mother's intention to go to Beizhu was very clear. She didn't want outsiders to know, so Jiang Zuiyao could only smile perfunctorily.

Empress Dowager Jiang touched Jiang Zuiyao's belly with a happy face: "It's been six months now, right?"

Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "Well, it's been more than six months."

At this time, Shao Jiang came back. He was not as easy to fool as Jiang. He looked at Jiang Zuiyao with a complex expression and said, "It's been a hard journey. The people from the East Hospital have prepared the supplies. Go back and rest quickly."

The words "hard work all the way" between the lines made Jiang Zuiyao suspicious. Could it be that he knew that she had gone to Beizhen?

At this moment, when they looked at Shao Jiang, the two of them were pretending to be confused.

Jiang personally sent Jiang Zuiyao back to the east courtyard. Linghui and Li Yan had been waiting for a long time. The fruit bearer quickly brought the fruit plate over, and the tea server also prepared the herbal tea that had been dried, which was quite enthusiastic.

Jiang Zuiyao took a closer look and saw that many of the furnishings had been changed.

The gauze curtains to block the wind were replaced by gemstone bead curtains. Every place in the house where people could sit was covered with jade cushions to keep cool. There were ice fans in the corners, and the original paper windows for cooling were replaced by

Breathable screens.

Looking at the dressing table again, the original ordinary bronze mirror was replaced by a diamond-shaped bronze mirror. The jewelry box with red lacquer and plum blossoms was opened specially, as if it was deliberately letting Jiang Zuiyao see the rare and precious jewelry inside. There was also a gold inlaid mother-in-law.

The flower phoenix crown and a rare inverted rosary seem to secretly indicate that the owner of the room is not an ordinary woman.

Lifting up the beaded curtain made of Yingluo, a lavender gauze curtain was hung on the sandalwood canopy bed in the bedroom. There were jade pillows and jade mats on the couch, and even the quilts were replaced with Jiangnan Su embroidery silk quilts.

After not coming back for several months, my residence has changed greatly. Now it has everything that a young lady should have.

Jiang Zuiyao found a soft couch and sat down. The jade cushions were very comfortable. Looking at everything exquisite in front of her, she knew that it was all due to her fetus and the Queen Mother's kindness.

Mrs. Jiang also sat down and asked, "Can we have dinner?"

Jiang Zuiyao shook her head, and Mrs. Jiang quickly ordered: "Hurry up and tell the kitchen to turn on the fire. All the big supplements must be brought into the east courtyard. By the way, go to my courtyard to get some red ginseng and make chicken soup for the young lady to drink."

.”

This made Jiang Zuiyao a little flattered, and she hurriedly said: "Mom, there is no need to go to such trouble, just make some food that can fill your stomach."

Jiang insisted: "How can that be done? Now you are pregnant with the grandson of our Shao family, so you can't be wronged."

Seeing Jiang's sudden love, Jiang Zuiyao felt uneasy for a while. The hypocrisy was obvious. He didn't care about her, but he clearly cared about the child in her belly.

After the instructions were given, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly asked with great interest: "Tell me, mother, how have you been living in the palace these past few months? It must be more comfortable in the palace than at home, right?"

Jiang Zuiyao didn't live in the palace at all, so how could she tell what it was like in the palace? She said perfunctorily: "Mother, I can't say much about things in the palace."

Naturally, Mrs. Jiang didn't ask any more questions, and quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, you must be favored by the Queen Mother, and you will naturally have enough food and clothing. However, there has been no news for many months, which makes mother very worried."

During the conversation, Jiang's eyes never left Jiang Zuiyao's swollen belly, wishing that Jiang Zuiyao would give her a grandson tomorrow.

Jiang Zuiyao originally wanted to come back to rest and take a break from the exhaustion of the past few months, but Mrs. Jiang happened to sit down. It looked like she would not leave unless she said that she had enjoyed herself.

In this way, Jiang Zuiyao helplessly breathed a sigh of relief. The sharp-eyed Xijun on the side immediately understood Jiang Zuiyao's thoughts and said: "Madam, the young lady is a little tired and wants to rest."

Xijun is indeed serving Concubine Rong, and what she is best at is observing her words and protecting her master.

Mrs. Jiang had seen Xijun early in the morning, but before she had time to ask, seeing her talking, she asked, "Who is this person?"

Jiang Zuiyao explained: "She is the maid who used to serve Concubine Rong. She was sent by the Queen Mother to serve me."

When Jiang heard that it was someone sent by the Queen Mother and the maid of the deceased Concubine Rong, she didn't say anything else. She stood up and said: "Zui Yao, you have a good rest. If you need anything, just tell me. By the way, East Courtyard

The bathroom has also been repaired. It's hot today, so take a shower before going to bed."

Jiang Zuiyao smiled and nodded, and then Jiang left with the others.

As soon as Jiang left, Jiang Zuiyao quickly fell down on the soft cushion. Xiyun picked up the feather fan and shook it for her, saying, "Master, have a good rest. If you need anything, I will ask my slave to get it for you."

Jiang Zuiyao touched her belly. She felt very uncomfortable this time, probably because the fetus was unstable.

Linghui and Li Yan on the side looked a little ugly when they saw Jiang Zuiyao adding new people to serve. Jiang Zuiyao didn't care and said to Xijun: "You don't have to call me master, just call me young lady."

But Xiyun insisted: "I am a servant who serves you, and you are my master, today and in the future."

It was just a title, and Jiang Zuiyao no longer insisted, she closed her eyes tiredly and squinted lightly.

When the food from the small kitchen was served, it was a table full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Jiang Zuiyao couldn't finish it. After filling her stomach, she gave a few untouched dishes to the servants. Jiang Zuiyao fell down on the soft cushion again.

Li Yan hurriedly asked people to go to the bathroom to boil hot water. Jiang Zuiyao asked Xiang Linghui: "Is the house okay during my absence?"

Linghui replied truthfully: "After the master entered the palace that day, the Queen Mother sent someone to the palace to tell you that you would stay in the palace for a few days. The master also sent someone to inquire, but he found nothing.

.”

Jiang Zuiyao just listened and didn't reply.

Linghui said again: "There is nothing left. Everything in the house is as before. However, something happened to the third young master. I heard that he raised an aunt outside. She was a brothel girl and gave birth to a son to the third young master. This

Things got really bad."

This surprised Jiang Zuiyao. She was not familiar with the third young master Shao Zimo, but it was really surprising that something like this happened suddenly.

Jiang Zuiyao asked doubtfully: "Since the child has been born, why don't you enter the house? What's the fuss?"

Linghui explained: "My wife dislikes that girl because she was born in a brothel. She won't let her into the house, let alone the children she gave birth to."

This matter had nothing to do with her, so Jiang Zuiyao didn't ask anything.

However, before Linghui could finish what she wanted to say, she added: "Now the whole Zhaojing knows about your stay in the palace for a short time. This matter has spread all over the city. They say that the Queen Mother is very fond of you, and they are very envious."

Coming."

These words made Jiang Zuiyao sneer in her heart. She didn't want this kind of "preference".
