As soon as Mrs. Ma heard the words "Emperor's eldest grandson", she stood still.
The previous maid who was weeding said: "You are talking nonsense. I'm afraid it hasn't taken shape yet. You already know whether it's a man or a woman?"
The other one said firmly: "I'm not talking nonsense. Let me tell you, even though I am the humblest servant in this palace, in fact, I have a fellow villager in the palace of Concubine Fu, who is also quite famous.
It was she who told me that they bought Fang'er in exchange for a baby, and if she ate it, she would be sure to give birth to a son.
More than a month after she told me, news came out that the fifth prince's concubine was pregnant. Don't you think this is right? "
"Then it's just a pregnancy. How can we decide a man and a woman? If that's the case, no matter how much money it is, those who want to have a son can buy and eat a son with the money and their wish will come true. Why are there so many unsatisfactory things? "The other one said with a smile, "If any doctor could come up with such a recipe, wouldn't he have made a fortune long ago?"
"What do you know? I was saying the same thing as you.
My fellow villager said that this medicine is not affordable for ordinary people, and the drug introduction alone is expensive.
Furthermore, although this prescription was effective, the court would not let it spread.
Who doesn't want to have a boy? If every family gives birth to a boy, no one gives birth to a girl.
Aren’t they all singles? Wouldn't it be a rebellion? "
"What you say seems to make sense," the other said half-heartedly, "But when the fifth prince's concubine actually gives birth to a grandson, I will really believe you."
"Okay, we've finished the work here, it's time to go." The two men seemed to have finished weeding and headed over there.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ma no longer wanted to go to Concubine Ying. She had been married for five or six years and gave birth to two daughters in succession.
She has a very strong temper and wants to be the first in everything.
Besides, when a woman is married, there are only so many things she can compare with.
The most important one is to give birth to a boy.
What's more, the emperor looks forward to his eldest grandson so much and promises such great benefits.
She and the second prince and his wife didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact they were so anxious that their eyes were red.
But she was also jealous. Although the second prince had two nominal concubines, she usually did not allow them to sleep with him.
It was unavoidable that once or twice, I would immediately send him the soup, and my close friends would watch him drink it.
The Ma family had long decided that a legitimate son must be born to protect the foundation.
It's just that she also tried many folk remedies, but none of them worked.
Unexpectedly, Lan Ning found it!
In her heart, she has always been jealous of Lan Ning.
Jealous that she is more beautiful and knowledgeable than him.
He was also jealous of her close relationship with the fifth prince and his wife.
The second prince treated her well, but she knew that it was not a man's sincere love and care for a woman, but just fear of authority and fear of profit.
It is precisely because of this that she needs to give birth to a son even more urgently. With a son, she will have a backer, and she will not have to be afraid if her husband dies.
"Master, are we still going to Mulan Palace?" asked the maid next to her.
"Don't go now, go find Lan Ning." Ma's heart seemed to be burning with fire, and she couldn't wait for a while.
"Master, what those two people said is probably not trustworthy," the maid advised, "They are all lies."
"Haven't you heard that sentence? A rumor that comes out of nowhere may not be silent.
Who is Lan Ning? Even though she looks cute and soft, she is actually more seductive than a monkey! Do you think she has ever suffered a loss? But Ma felt that this matter was 70% credible, "She wouldn't have done it if she wasn't sure!" "
"It doesn't matter what I say. Master, you usually treat the fifth prince's concubine well. Now she is pregnant and will give birth soon," another maid next to Ma said, "Let's ask her for this secret recipe. , and it’s not in vain to use her.”
Ma went directly to Furong Palace, but unexpectedly came up empty.
The palace servants told her that Concubine Fu and the Fifth Prince had gone to Tong'an Palace to pay their respects to Concubine Rong.
Ma immediately pursued him to Tong'an Palace.
Since Concubine Rong had received Concubine Fu and Lan Ning here, she had to let her in.
Ma's appearance skills are very good. He smiles and greets when he comes in, and speaks warmly and politely.
"You two sisters-in-law haven't seen each other for a while, right? You'll inevitably feel a little restrained after staying here for a long time. Let's go out for a walk and relax!
If you are willing to eat vegetarian food, you can come back to my place for lunch. "After talking for a while, Concubine Rong spoke.
Ma was about to ask Lan Ning, but after hearing what Concubine Rong said, she wanted to go out immediately, but she still took Lan Ning's hand and said, "Thank you, Concubine Rong, for your understanding. Let's go outside for a walk and then come back."
Concubine Fu felt a little worried and warned: "My fifth daughter-in-law, if you are tired, just find a place to sit and don't walk too much."
Ma smiled and said: "Don't worry, my dear, I will never dare to burden my fifth younger brother and sister. She is so delicate now!"
As soon as she left the gate of Tong'an Palace, Ma couldn't wait to say: "Fifth younger sister, I see that your pregnancy is very stable!"
"Thanks to my second sister-in-law, this child didn't bother me too much." Lan Ning said softly.
"Fifth younger brother and sister, how do second sisters-in-law treat you on weekdays?" Ma said, holding Lan Ning's hand tighter.
"Second sister-in-law naturally treats me well." Lan Ning looked as usual.
"That's it. Now my second sister-in-law has something to ask of you, don't shirk it." Ma took another step forward.
"Second sister-in-law, what do you need my help with? If I can, I will never refuse." Lan Ning looked sideways at Ma and said.
"Then I won't hide it anymore. Let me ask you, did you take any medicine to conceive this baby?" Ma lowered her voice slightly.
"Medicine?" Lan Ning was a little confused, "I just took some commonly used anti-fetal drugs prescribed by Dr. Su last month. I only took them for half a month and then stopped."
"That's not what I'm talking about," Ma shook her head vigorously, "it's the secret recipe that can give birth to a son!"
She said the second half of the sentence close to Lan Ning's ear.
Lan Ning laughed when she heard this: "Where did my second sister-in-law hear about it? Why didn't I know there was such a thing?"
But Ma felt that she was lying: "I'm not joking with you, you know how much I want to have a son.
Besides, you are pregnant now, so the emperor's grandson is naturally yours, and I won't take it from you. I just thought that you could also fulfill me, and the benefits are indispensable to you. "
Seeing that she was speaking seriously, Lan Ning couldn't help but correct her expression, and patiently explained: "Second sister-in-law, you know that I am a person who is not born to lie. I really don't take any secret recipes.
To put it bluntly, I was afraid of eating it bad.
Besides, having children is a destiny, how can human beings force it? If there are really some, I will give some to our sister-in-law without asking me for them. "
Seeing what she said, Mr. Ma couldn't help but feel shaken, and said, "That's all, I just heard it from hearsay."
