The gifts sent by other people in the backyard were quite large. Ji Qin and Man Dong put all those things in the warehouse and had no intention of taking them out for Lu Qing to use.
Even Aunt Zhong said: "Although I can't tell anything, my concubine is pregnant, so it's better to be careful."
In the early years, she accompanied Concubine Zhao to work hard in Emperor Xihe's harem. She had a deep understanding of various underhanded methods and understood how terrible a woman's jealousy can be.
On the surface, it seems peaceful, but in fact, who can guarantee that no one has bad intentions?
It happened that Lu Qing understood these truths, and she said obediently: "Mama is right, just listen to her."
She was very careful about the child in her belly, and she humbly asked many questions that she didn't quite understand as a first-time mother.
Aunt Zhong answered patiently. If there was something unclear, she asked Lu Qing to ask Jiang Shui'er.
"Dr. Jiang is very skilled in medicine. She knows more about women's childbirth than I do. I can ask more questions, concubine."
Lu Qing nodded and humbly asked for advice when Dr. Jiang came to check her pulse every day.
Jiang Shui'er still wore a veil, her temperament was as cold as a chrysanthemum, and her words always made people feel at ease.
"Don't worry, concubine, the fetus is developing very well, but you need to pay more attention to your diet. If you eat too much, the fetus will grow too big, which may not be conducive to delivery..."
Regarding Lu Qing's concerns, Dr. Jiang answered patiently and carefully. Even though some questions had been asked more than once, she still spoke with a gentle voice and gave instructions one by one.
"Yes, I have remembered what Dr. Jiang said." Lu Qing nodded seriously, thanked her again, and offered Mandong a cup of tea.
"Excuse me, come to my Qiyun Pavilion every day, have some tea and then go back."
Over and over again, Dr. Jiang gained a deeper understanding of Qiyun Pavilion, the prince's rumored new favorite. She has been treating women in the backyard all year round. She has received a lot of ridicule and discrimination because of the birthmark on her face. However, Concubine Wei has never shown any sincere or false opinions about her birthmark. She completely treats her as a doctor. , keep the distance between people at a comfortable distance for each other.
She took a sip of tea and thought, there are few people like Concubine Wei in the world, so she deserves the blessing that God has given her.
**
The calmness of Qiyun Pavilion is in sharp contrast to the undercurrent outside.
After being slapped on the order of Chen Qingzi, Jingfeng could no longer bear her resentment towards Lu Qing.
And now is the best time for her to take revenge. Everything has been calm for the past few months, and the people in Qiyun Pavilion must have relaxed their guard. It is time for her to implement her plan.
Jing Feng's first thought was to find an accomplice, just like what happened with Madam Zhang before. If Tao Yu hadn't been found as a scapegoat in advance, she might have been the one who suffered after the incident.
After thinking about it, she turned around and went to Xue'er's house.
"Why are Sister Jingfeng here?" Xue'er had a smile on her lips and mockery in her eyes, but Jingfeng was so anxious to win over her that she didn't notice it at all.
Jing Feng sat down alone and asked confidently: "What do you think about Lu Qing's pregnancy?"
Xueer was proud and arrogant in Hemingyuan at that time, but Jingfeng remembered that although Taoyu took the blame for Madam Zhang's incident, they both knew what happened.
"We are all born as maids. If she gives birth to the child smoothly, whether it is a son or a daughter, we will all be squeezed. Can you bear this?"
Xueer listened to her quietly, then smiled and asked, "Sister Jingfeng, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. You know that I am not relying on you either. We sisters are the closest."
Jing Feng nodded with satisfaction and put on airs: "You are quite smart. I guess I got the right person."
Xue'er chuckled and rolled her eyes secretly.
Afterwards, the two closed the door and discussed for an hour, formulating a preliminary plan.
But the two people disagreed on who should execute the plan.
Jing Feng said confidently: "I came up with the plan first to find you to join the team. You can't just sit back and enjoy the results without doing anything, right?"
Xueer did not hide her thoughts. She smiled and said: "What Sister Jingfeng said is absolutely true, but of course I also have concerns. I can't just do whatever you say. You are not the only one who remembers Taoyu. Remember too."
There is an example of Tao Yu being used as a scapegoat. Unless she has no brains, she will be easily plotted by Jing Feng.
"In this way, since this is a solution we came up with together, let's do it together. No one can think of being a hands-off shopkeeper."
Jing Feng stared at Xue'er for a long time and then said, "You have made progress, then let's do what you said, let's do it together."
Xueer was satisfied: "Okay."
Jing Feng glanced at Xue'er meaningfully, and went directly towards Ji Mingzhu's Taoshan Courtyard.
In order to survive in the backyard, she had to find a backer for herself.
Although she didn't get the expected feedback when she went to see Ji Mingzhu last time, she didn't believe it. Ji Mingzhu didn't want to get rid of the child in Lu Qing's belly.
When Ji Mingzhu heard that Jingfeng had thought of a way to make Lu Qing abort the child, she couldn't help but subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
Jing Feng repeated again: "I can remove the child in Lu Qing's belly."
Ji Mingzhu understood clearly this time. She really didn't expect Jingfeng to not give up.
However, after months of suffering and jealousy, Ji Mingzhu couldn't hold it any longer.
The prince's eldest son should not be reborn in the belly of a concubine.
"Tell me what a good idea is."
Jing Feng laughed and sold Xue'er first: "I have already discussed it with Concubine Bai. When the time comes, she will lead Concubine Wei to the Yueyue Courtyard of Concubine Chen. As for the crazy cats I bumped into on the road, , it’s no longer under anyone’s control, it’s all because of Concubine Wei’s own bad luck.”
Ji Mingzhu supported her chin with her slender index finger, looked at Jing Feng thoughtfully, and commented lightly: "It's not too stupid."
The corner of Jing Feng's mouth twitched. If it weren't for Ji Mingzhu's status as concubine, she would have been able to get angry.
"The concubine, if it comes to pass..."
She wanted to hug Ji Mingzhu's lap and follow Ji Mingzhu from now on. Both parties knew this.
However, Ji Mingzhu did not agree. She threatened: "Of course your benefits will be indispensable if things happen, but remember, before things happen, you and I have no relationship at all. I have no knowledge of any decision you make. If you If you are thinking of blaming me, you'd better first consider whether you can afford the consequences."
Jingfeng was full of confidence and kept promising: "Don't worry, I have arranged everything properly. I will not personally get involved in anything and leave no clues to others, let alone implicate you."
Seeing the hope of riding the wind in the future, Jing Feng left Tao Shanyuan with joy.
The maid next to Ji Mingzhu, Yizhen, gently fanned her and said worriedly: "Master, is Concubine Zhang's method reliable? What if..."
Ji Mingzhu raised one corner of her lips and narrowed her narrow eyes slightly: "Whatever happens is not my responsibility, and I can't be blamed for it. What are you afraid of? If she wants to take refuge in me, she should show some sincerity."
