Ma was very frustrated when she didn't find what she wanted.
I didn't want to say anything more to Lan Ning, so I just said: "You shouldn't be tired now, I have to go visit my aunt, so let's separate for now!
I will talk to you later at your house. We have two new cooks who make Soviet-style dim sum. I remember that you like this, so I will bring you some next time. "
Lan Ning said warmly: "Thank you, second sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about the child. You are still so young and have the appearance of a man, so you will definitely have one."
Lan Ning's relief made Ma feel better, and she forced a smile and said, "I hope so!"
The two separated. Lan Ning found out that Concubine Fu had returned to Furong Palace, so she went there too.
Ma wanted to go to Mulan Palace, but met Li Fei halfway.
Concubine Li was beautifully dressed, wearing a emerald-colored skirt and jacket, with a gold necklace and a moth crown, which was gorgeous and elegant.
Of course Ma knew that her aunt Concubine Ying and Concubine Li had always been at odds with each other, but she was the elder after all, not to mention she had always been nice to her juniors and had never deliberately made things difficult for anyone.
So he stood still and greeted her politely.
Li Fei's face was full of joy and she asked with a smile: "Where did you come from? Where are you going?"
Ma replied casually: "I just had a few words with my fifth brother and sister, and I'm going to see my aunt now."
Li Fei said: "Then I congratulate you."
"Why do you congratulate me?" Ma was puzzled.
The smile on Li Fei's face froze, she looked around and said, "You don't know about Ah Ning's pregnancy?"
"Of course I know this, but why is she congratulating me on her pregnancy?" If it was normal, it would be fine, but today Ma was unhappy because of this, and her tone couldn't help but get angry.
"I congratulate you because your dreams will come true soon." Li Fei seemed a little confused, "I meant well, why are you unhappy?"
"I didn't know that you had such an ability to foresee things," Ma said, feeling baffled. "You knew things that I didn't even know myself."
Li Fei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and murmured: "I thought you two were good friends, Ning'er. She must have given the recipe to you when she got pregnant! That's why I said that..."
Ma's brows jumped after hearing this: "What recipe did the empress say?"
"Hey, it's just a prescription for giving birth to a child." Concubine Li sighed and said, "I gave her that prescription. It was my niece-in-law who got it by chance. She gave birth to a pair of sons in August last year.
My sister-in-law gave it to me when she entered the palace. I thought I wouldn't need it, so I gave it to my fifth wife in the spring of this year.
I also told her at the time that if she gets her wish, she might as well give this recipe to you. Over the years, I know that you are also looking forward to a son.
I couldn't give it to you personally, for fear that you wouldn't believe it and that it would cause unnecessary trouble.
I am a straight-tempered person, and I will say whatever I have to say. Your aunt and I have never been at odds with each other, and I don't dare to provoke her. "
But Ma felt that Concubine Li was telling the truth. The third year of national filial piety expired in the twelfth lunar month last year.
Before this, it was impossible for women of the royal family to have children.
As for Concubine Li's natal family, they were at most royal relatives, and one year of filial piety was enough.
So it was normal for his maternal nephew to have a child in August last year.
In addition, the emperor has always practiced Taoism and does not favor the concubines in the harem, so it is useless for Concubine Li to take this prescription.
Then she naturally thought of giving it away as a favor.
Lan Ning has always been good at being a good person and pleasing her elders. Concubine Li and Concubine Fu also have a good relationship, so it is indeed reasonable and reasonable for Concubine Li to give this recipe to her.
As for what she just explained about not giving it directly to herself, it also makes sense.
Thinking of this, her expression became even worse. This time she was not directed at Li Fei, but at Lan Ning.
"She didn't suggest anything to me." Ma sneered.
Concubine Li disagreed and said with a smile: "Maybe she hasn't had time to say it yet, or maybe she's afraid that the recipe is inaccurate. I won't tell you until I actually give birth to a son. After all, this child is always cautious."
But Ma just sneered, if it was like what Li Fei said, then it would be fine.
But he had clearly asked her directly about the secret recipe for giving birth, but she denied it.
This can only mean that she does not want to give the prescription to herself and give birth to a son.
The more Ma thought about it, the angrier she became, so much so that her face changed.
"Go and say hello to Concubine Ying." Concubine Li said and walked forward, "I also want to go back and rest."
Li Fei walked away, but Ma was still standing there.
The maid next to me advised: "Master, calm down and think about everything from the long term."
"A long-term plan? How long will it take?" Ma asked with a cold face, "I am already twenty-five this year, do I have to wait until I am thirty?!"
The people following him were so frightened that they did not dare to speak.
Concubine Li returned to her palace and drank a few sips of tea.
Cui Qiao asked: "Mother, do you think our divorce plan will work?"
Lying on the rocking chair, Li Fei smiled lazily and said, "How come it doesn't work? Let me tell you, the more people care about something, the easier it is to become confused about it. Because they are too impatient and want it too much.
Ma Feiyan is going crazy hoping for her son. Can she not be anxious when she hears that there is a secret recipe for giving birth to a child?
Besides, she is too jealous and always feels that she is not as good as Lan Ning. But he could never find Lan Ning's fault, so it was hard to get angry.
Now that this matter is used to stab her, she will naturally hate Lan Ning. Not only will he not go to confront her, but he will also guard against her from here on out.
Not to mention a woman like her who is not smart enough. Throughout the ages, haven’t many wise and wise kings, famous generals who pursued death and northward pursuits, and counselors with wisdom as high as the sky have died on these lips?
Because people's hearts are unpredictable and doubts are easy to arise. Once doubts arise, it is like planting a root of disaster, which will eventually break through and become a huge disaster. "
"Your Majesty, what a good plan," Cui Qiao said with admiration, "The second prince is the queen's son, and the second prince's concubine is Concubine Ying's niece. This is like putting them all into a cricket jar. Let's If you fiddle with it with a straw stick, they will fight to the death."
Concubine Li stretched out her fingers, her fingernails were bright red, and she touched her green forehead and said: "You girl, you have a lot of brains. Concubine Fu always wants to be alone and does things lightly. Don't think about her." Pull down the water.
But when the idea hits her precious grandson, even if she has Buddha nature, she can't help it! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the little eunuch who served as messenger came in and said, "I would like to report to you, the second prince and his concubine are outside asking for an audience."
Li Fei raised her red phoenix eyes and chuckled, "Then please come in quickly!"
"Your Majesty, the second princess came very quickly! It seems that everything is under your control now." Cui Qiao whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense, everything has just begun." Li Fei said and stood up.
There were sparse and urgent footsteps outside the door, like the beat of gongs and drums.
The corners of Li Fei's lips curled up slightly, she knew that a big drama was about to take place.
