Consort Ru had just left Yulin Palace when Consort Mei collapsed weakly on the soft chair. Loya went forward to help her sit on the chair to prevent her from falling off. Unexpectedly, Mei Pin grabbed his hands tightly. For some reason, Mei Pin was frighteningly strong at the moment. Her sharp fingernails almost sank into Luo Ya's tender flesh.
"Empress, Empress, what's wrong?" Luo Ya felt a little pain, but when she saw Mei Pin's listless expression, she couldn't help but worry.
After a long while, Mei Pin came back to her senses, and two streams of tears fell uncontrollably.”Luo Ya nodded lightly. Indeed, Ru Fei's actions today were too much. However, she had dared to defy the Emperor's will and make Concubine Mei yield. She was not even afraid that Concubine Mei would talk nonsense in front of the Emperor. This point had woken Luo Ya up just now, and she had instructed Concubine Mei not to easily provoke Concubine Ru.
" Your Highness," Luo Ya gently patted Mei Pin's back and comforted her." Consort Ru has her own reasons for being so bold. I think the Ru Family has a significant influence in the court.”She pretended to be old and sighed as she continued," So it's better for the Empress to swallow her anger. Don't be angry with that person. It's not worth it."”
"I won't!" As if in a fit of pique, Mei Pin threw the purse in her hand onto the ground. She wanted to stand up and step on it, but Consort Zhen's voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Why didn't they let the palace servants inform them? Just as Luo Ya hurried to pick up the pouch, Consort Zhen had already walked into the hall gracefully. Concubine Mei did not have time to hide it. In addition, she felt really wronged, so not only did her tears not dry, but they were even worse. Even though Luo Ya moved very quickly, the purse still fell into Concubine Zhen's eyes. Looking at the tear-stained Concubine Mei, Concubine Zhen couldn't help but smile and narrow her eyes. Loya secretly spat in her heart, wondering why a wolf in sheep's clothing came after she had sent away a tigress!
"What exactly made Younger Sister so angry?”As Consort Zhen spoke, she had already walked to Mei Pin's side. She intimately held her small hand and said softly," Pregnant people should avoid getting angry.”Concubine Mei listened to Concubine Zhen's comforting words and her mood slowly recovered.
Just as Roya stood up, she suddenly felt that something was strange. However, when she looked at Consort Zhen's smiling face, she couldn't tell what that strange feeling was.
"Nothing much." Although Mei Pin said that she was fine, her angry expression had long revealed her emotions.
Consort Zhen looked distressed as she pulled Mei Pin to sit down with her." On the way to Yulin Palace, I met Sister Ru. Could it be that her fiery personality made things difficult for you?"”
Mei Pin heard that Consort Zhen had hit the nail on the head. She was about to tell the truth to let Consort Zhen, who was in charge, vindicate her, but Luo Ya hurriedly stood up and explained," Consort Ru is very good to the master. The reason why the master was so upset just now was because I was clumsy and accidentally dropped the safety talisman that Consort Ru gave me."”Luoya lowered her head and spoke earnestly," So, so Master became angry because of a lack of satisfaction. I hope Your Highness can forgive me!”
"Oh? So that's how it is?" Consort Zhen did not look at Luo Ya, but stared at Concubine Mei. Concubine Mei wanted to retort, but when she saw Luo Ya's expression, she swallowed her words. Although he felt wronged, he still nodded.
Concubine Zhen smiled sweetly,"It seems that my younger sister and Concubine Ru hit it off very well. With her temperament, it's the first time she's asked for a protective talisman."”At this point, she continued," It's obvious that she still has feelings for her sister.”
Concubine Mei smiled as she listened to Concubine Zhen's kind words." That's right," she said." She accidentally threw such a precious thing on the ground. That's why I'm so angry."”After saying that, he pointed at Roya. Only then did Luo Ya heave a sigh of relief. If Consort Zhen found out about the truth just now, the palace would inevitably be gossiped about. If Concubine Zhen were to come up with another " injustice " to help Mei Pin vent her anger, it would not only increase the conflict between Concubine Ru and Concubine Zhen. At that time, Consort Ru would hate Mei Pin to the core.
Consort Zhen did not blame Luo Ya. She only berated her a few times before letting Luo Ya stand up. After all, in front of others, Consort Zhen was a consort who knew the big picture. Luo Ya was Consort Mei's nanny. Consort Mei did not even say anything to punish her, so she would definitely not meddle in her affairs.
Mei Pin saw that the tea was cold, so she ordered the servants to change the hot tea. Roya stepped forward obediently and handed the teacups to the palace servant who was holding a mahogany tray. At this moment, her relaxed brows finally furrowed.
She knew that this feeling came from Consort Zhen, but she didn't know what made her feel so unnatural. Now, while she was changing the tea, she got closer to Consort Zhen and realized why her heart was always so awkward just now.
It was Rosemary.
That was a taboo for pregnant women.
Originally, Roya did not know that Rosemary was a taboo for pregnant women. However, in her previous life, she had gone out to eat barbecue with her best friend. His friend recommended that the spices made from rosemary were very delicious when used to roast meat. Only then did Roya realize two things.
Firstly, rosemary could not only be used as a spice, but it could also be used as a seasoning like onions, ginger, and garlic to make food fragrant and increase one's appetite. Second, although rosemary could increase one's appetite and refresh one's mind, it was not suitable for pregnant women.
Therefore, during the barbecue, her best friend had eaten too much food mixed with rosemary, causing her to have a miscarriage. When she was sent to the hospital, she had no choice but to save the adult because of the massive bleeding. That painful lesson had changed his friend completely. Hence, the smell of rosemary was still fresh in Roya's memory.
She looked at the gentle lady in front of her in surprise. The fights in the palace were indeed killing people without them noticing. Presumably, Concubine Zhen had stained her clothes with rosemary and tried to get close to Concubine Mei a little bit every day, causing Concubine Mei to be tortured by rosemary for a long time, which eventually led to a miscarriage. It seemed that the news that Rosemary could cause miscarriages was not very well-known in ancient times. Otherwise, Consort Zhen would not have dared to be so bold. However, it made sense. She and her friend were from the 21st century, and they didn't even know that Rosemary was a taboo for pregnant women, let alone ancient people.
What should he do?
Luo Ya was a little flustered. Although she was not wholeheartedly fighting for Mei Pin's favor, the little baby in her stomach was innocent. She couldn't watch this child become a victim of the infighting in the palace!
Just as Concubine Mei was smiling at Concubine Zhen, Luo Ya suddenly came to Concubine Mei with a white feather fan in her hand. Concubine Mei was puzzled, but Luo Ya smiled and said," Your Majesty, it's so hot today. I'm worried that you might get a heatstroke."”
Consort Zhen was stunned for a moment, but then she recovered her gentle appearance." Sister is so lucky. In my opinion, this nanny is not clumsy at all. She is considerate."”
Even so, Luo Ya still saw the suspicion on Consort Zhen's face. However, the strength of Roya's hand did not lessen. Instead, she fanned Mei Pin with all her might, hoping that the smell of rosemary would dissipate a little.
"What kind of incense is big sister using? Why hasn't little sister smelled it before?”Mei Pin suddenly asked Consort Zhen curiously. Beads of sweat immediately fell from Luo Ya's forehead. This motherf * cker is risking her life to protect your little prince, but you're pushing yourself to death.
Of course, Concubine Zhen was more than happy to ask for it. She touched the brocade on her body and said: This incense was a tribute from a foreign envoy. It's called cold cardamom. I had nothing to do the other day, so I ordered someone to use it to light my clothes.”Speaking of this, she became excited." Younger Sister, you don't know. This incense actually has the miraculous effect of calming one's mind. Moreover, even after a long time, the whole body will still be fragrant.”
When Mei Pin heard Consort Zhen's words, her heart became even more itchy. If she had such a magical spice, would she be afraid that the Emperor would order other concubines to serve her?
Seeing the greed in Mei Pin's eyes, Luo Ya could not help but feel a little regretful. However, when she thought of the innocent life in her stomach, the feather fan in her hand never stopped.
As for Consort Zhen, seeing that the big fish had taken the bait, she couldn't help but laugh and say," Since you like it, I'll send someone to deliver it when I return to the palace. I hope you won't mind that I've used some before."”
Mei Pin saw that Zhen Fei was so polite, so she immediately smiled and said,"Oh, how can this be? How can a younger sister steal the love of an older sister?"”Even though she said this, she couldn't wait for Consort Zhen to immediately hand over the spices.
Concubine Zhen knew what Concubine Mei was thinking, but she did not point it out. She just took Concubine Mei's hand and smiled." Sister, you're being distant. You haven't been in the palace for long, and now you're pregnant with the Emperor's first child. You should be taken care of by me, an old man in the palace."”
"Sister is forever young. How is it like what you said? Hehehe.”Mei Pin covered her face with her sleeve and laughed. She had completely forgotten about Ru Fei's humiliation. Really, she forgot the pain after the scar healed. Compared to Ru Fei's shrewish and violent personality, Consort Zhen's experience was even more terrifying.
