The three mothers were eating tender lotus seeds in the pavilion, and suddenly heard a familiar voice: "I'm paying homage to the Imperial Concubine."

Yao Jiaxin looked up and saw that the white and fat Concubine Hai, with a big and round face, was standing on the gravel road outside the pavilion, resting one hand on her lower abdomen, and her knees were slightly bent.

The golden silk-embedded East-bead armor on Yao Jiaxin's hand had been lifted on the white marble round table beside him. Her white and slender little hand had just tore open a lotus pod, and she was still chewing a tender lotus seed in her mouth, but she had not swallowed it yet.

At this moment, Yao Jiaxin's old face was so embarrassing, as if she was caught stealing wild game.

She quickly swallowed the lotus seeds in her mouth, put the lotus pods in her hand, and her demeanor was corrected, saying to Hai Guiren: "No gift."

Hong Xiaomao is a good baby. He glanced at Hai Guiren and continued to accept food from the nanny. Hong Xiaoxing was uneasy when sitting on the white marble bench. His short fat legs were fluttering, and eating lotus seeds in his mouth could not prevent him from talking: "Mom, who is she? Why is she so fat?"

Yao Jiaxin became even more embarrassed. It would be too much to say that she is fat in front of others?

Guiren Hai was not angry. She smiled and said with a gentle face: "Brother Eighth Prince, I am the nobleman of Guanlan Hall, Hai. Now I am getting fat because I am pregnant."

In ancient times, fat was called "being fat", which was not a derogatory term.

Hong Xiaoxing's little head tilted, "Guanlan Hall? Isn't that where Brother Qi lives?"

Yao Jiaxin smiled and said, "You forgot that the Seventh Prince has moved back to Qinglan Palace and returned to Concubine Ning."

Hong Xiaoxing then suddenly realized, "Oh! Yes, Brother Qi's mother is gone."

Concubine Hai said with pity: "The Seventh Prince is so pitiful. She has lost her biological mother at such a young age. Fortunately, Concubine Ning is the best at coaxing children, and she coaxes the Seventh Prince to treat her as a biological mother."

Yao Jiaxin raised her eyebrows, and this was clearly a sarcasm.

Hong Xiaoxing was still young and couldn't understand the implicit meaning. He grinned and said, "Empress Ning is fine. She is making small clothes for Brother Seven!" As he said that, Hong Xiaoxing looked at Yao Jiaxin with resentment, "My mother has never made clothes for others!"

Yao Jiaxin raised her eyebrows: Damn, you dare to dislike me? I haven’t lit up the needlework skill in both my life!

Yao Jiaxin said with a stern face: "Don't talk when eating! Otherwise you will choke!" - Madan, eating lotus seeds with her little mouth, and she can talk non-stop at the same time!

Guiren Hai smiled gently, "In the imperial concubine palace, there are people with excellent needlework, so how can I use the imperial concubine to do it myself?"

I have to say that this Concubine Hai is also very good at speaking.

Yao Jiaxin smiled, "Guru Hai walked out so far, why not come in and rest for a while."

Concubine Hai showed joy on her face and hurriedly said, "Thank you, the Imperial Concubine." As she said that, she held her waist, carefully climbed the steps, and walked into the pavilion. Concubine Hai's palace maid was also smart, and quickly laid a thick cotton and soft satin cushion on the white marble bench. Concubine Hai sat down.

On the white marble table, in addition to the green lotus pods, there are also a few plates of exquisite snacks, all brought from Bitong Academy, including soft hibiscus cake, refreshing hawthorn cake, exquisite rose crisps, and snow-white kidney bean rolls, all of which are all full of color, fragrance and flavor.

Yao Jiaxin and her three girls were just pegging lotus seeds to eat, but these snacks had not been moved yet.

Yao Jiaxin smiled and said, "Guru Hai may as well try the snacks from our kitchen, but the hawthorn cake should not be eaten too much during pregnancy." - Although he likes to eat sourness during pregnancy, hawthorn has the effect of promoting blood circulation and cannot be greedy.

Guiren Hai smiled and picked up a pink and delicate rose crisp, and said with a smile: "The desserts in the Empress Palace are so exquisite."

The pastry is actually of the same taste, but the method is similar. It usually requires cumbersome and meticulous skills. For example, this rose crisp is made by the pastry with rose sweet dew, which wraps the inner filling layer by layer, making the appearance of a budded rose. Then it is fried to have a crispy texture.

It tastes the same as lotus crispy, crabapple crispy, and mandarin duck crispy.

At this moment, the eunuch Xiaogao rushed over and beat Qian'er outside the pavilion and said, "Master Emperor, please go back quickly. Long live to our Bitong Academy."

The round face of Hai Guiren, who was eating rose crisps, was stunned for a moment. The emperor left her Wangxian Pavilion and went straight to the Bitong Academy of the Imperial Concubine?

Concubine Hai quickly stood up, "That maid and concubine respectfully send the imperial concubine to the emperor."

Yao Jiaxin nodded, and did not dare to delay, so she left.

Looking at the great ceremonial guards of the imperial concubine leaving, Concubine Hai stared at her for a long time, and the sweet taste of rose crisps remained in her mouth, which was a little sweet. Just like the emperor and the imperial concubine, it was as sweet as a newlywed couple, which made the Six Palaces envious.

No, it's envy and dare not be jealous.

Who dares to be jealous of the Imperial Concubine? He is the deputy queen, only one step away from the queen position.

Concubine Hai sighed deeply. The emperor did not immediately give her a concubine, but was afraid that she was not concerned about her pregnancy or was afraid that she would suffer. Instead, she did not want the imperial concubine's grand ceremony to benefit her. At that time, the imperial concubine was pregnant with the eighth prince and the ninth prince, so she also performed the imperial concubine's ceremony?

"In the heart of the emperor, I am not worthy of it..." Concubine Hai murmured softly, his voice faintly and inaudible.

"My little master, what were you talking about?" The palace maid who was holding Guiren Hai showed a look of confusion.

Concubine Hai shook her head, "It's nothing. I heard that the auspicious day for the imperial concubine's enthronement has been decided. Maybe the emperor wants to discuss the enthronement ceremony with the imperial concubine."

The palace maid hurriedly praised: "When you give birth to the little prince, you will also perform the ceremony of enthroning the concubines."

Concubine Hai smiled bitterly, how can he be named the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine be the same as the Imperial Concubine?

The palace maid smiled and said, "When I greeted me, the imperial concubine was very majestic, but today she looked very friendly."

Hai Guiren said, "That's because the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are there." In front of his children, he must be kinder.

Thinking of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, these two white and tender children, Hai Guiren couldn't help but show a bit of hope, "How great would it be if my child could be as lively and cute as the Eighth Prince."

The palace maid hurriedly said, "You are strong and healthy, and the little prince you gave birth to is also healthy and lovely. The emperor will definitely like it."

Guiren Hai looked down at his lower abdomen. The emperor still cared about the children in her belly, but... he could not compare with the children of the imperial concubine after all.

When he returned to Bitong Academy, Yao Jiaxin presented the lotus pods as if he was offering treasures. "Second Master, the lotus seeds are so tender!"

Yinzhen looked at the greedy and incredible look and couldn't help but smile, "How old are you, you're actually greedy for these things! How come you look like the mother of three children?"

Yao Jiaxin was unhappy. Why did she become a mother? Can't she be greedy? I am not eating alone, Hong Xiaoxing and Hong Xiaomaru have also eaten a lot!
