Qing Dynasty: I Rely on Games To Fight For Favor - Chapter 121
Suddenly her stomach gurgled, Xia Mian just remembered, patronizing busy, she hasn’t eaten yet today!
Hurry up and get some food, Xiaonian, naturally want to eat dumplings, as for the dishes, Xia Mian wants to eat a bit spicy, let’s have a dry pot of beef, the rest, according to Chef Zhou.
Chef Zhou had been making preparations, and hurriedly fired up the cooking. Soon, a large plate of dumplings was served cold and hot.
Griddle beef, stewed soft and tasty chunks of beef, with two-color chili and bright red oily broth, simmering and steaming, just put it on the table, the spicy beef taste straight into the nose Xia Mian couldn’t wait to grab a chopstick to eat.
It’s hot, spicy and fragrant, and sure enough, you have to eat such a dish to warm yourself in winter.
Then came the stewed deer tendon with ham. The stewed deer tendon was sticky and chewy, and the aroma of ham was amazing.
The two cold dishes are assorted Su dishes, mixed with duck shreds, which looks quite refreshing.
The last dumpling gave Xia Mian another surprise. It turned out to be stuffed with pork and lotus root. It went perfectly with these dishes.
Xia Mian immediately started eating happily.
When she was almost finished eating, Xiu came, and Aunt Feng behind her was holding a large package in her hand, which was very conspicuous.
“Sister.” Xia Mian wanted to get up.
“Sit down, why haven’t you eaten yet.” Xi Bie frowned.
Xia Mian smiled embarrassedly, and forgot, “Would you like to sit down and have a bite?” She asked Xi.
“You eat quickly, don’t worry about me, I’ll come and have a look.” As he said, Xi Bie’s eyes fell on Xia Mian’s stomach, and his face was full of smiles.
“As soon as our mother heard that you were happy, she couldn’t sit still happily, but she just came.” Aunt Feng laughed and joked.
Xi Bing glared at her, but she was indeed happy. Xia Mian looked at her spoiled now, but who would say how long this spoiled spoiled her would last. If she didn’t give birth to two children of her own now, she would have no chance in the future.
It’s all right now, Amitabha!
In particular, the emperor will promote Xia Mian as a concubine, and there will be children in the future, so what else is Xia Mian afraid of?
Suddenly remembering something, she immediately took out something from Aunt Feng’s package and carefully handed it to Xia Mian.
Xia Mian looked at it, but it was a sapphire unicorn, with a fat and white doll on it.
“This is?” she asked.
He walked two steps in front of her and whispered, “I used to ask people to get it from the temple at a large price, so I can bless you to have a big brother!”
Xia Mian couldn’t laugh or cry after hearing this, but Xi Bing didn’t have a child, which showed that the unicorn didn’t work at all. Besides, do you have to give birth to an elder brother?
“Of course I have to give birth to elder brother.” Xiu said nervously, this is Xia Mian’s first child, of course it is elder brother to benefit.
Okay, Xia Mian didn’t want to argue, so she took the unicorn and gave her son and placed it on the table.
At this moment, Xi Bing saw the dry pot beef in front of Xia Mian, sour men and women… she was worried.
Xia Mian always likes spicy food and doesn’t like sour food. I can’t force myself to give birth to boys and girls. It’s not necessary.
This time, she smiled and pretended that she didn’t see the look of 嫖嫔.
Xiu sighed, Xia Mian was still the same as before. Sometimes she was very intelligent, sometimes confused. She didn’t see what the palace people did to give birth to the elder brother. She was good, she didn’t care at all.
Whoever wants to be her daughter will be blessed.
Thinking about it this way, Xi Bie also relaxed a little. She is also a woman herself. She understands the difficulties of women. Maybe Xia Miansheng is a good personality? At least there can be one more happy girl in this world. As for elder brother, she is still young anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.
There was a smile on her face again, and she sat there waiting for Xia Mian.
Xia Mian actually had almost eaten, and took another two bites at random, then put down his chopsticks and talked to her inside.
He took the big parcel from Aunt Feng, “Let’s see if it can be used.”
With that, she opened the package.
The package turned out to be full of children’s clothes, from birth to two years old, each set is exquisitely made, and both men and women have it.
Xia Mian was dumbfounded, no wonder it was such a big bag, but when did Xiu make this?
“I used to do it when I still had a pet. I always thought that I might be able to give birth to a little elder brother or a little gege sometime. But when I didn’t have a pet, my stomach didn’t move.
Don’t want to do it at this time, it won’t work anyway. But I couldn’t help but did so. “Xi Bing said lonely.
Xia Mian was stunned, it was several years.
“Now these are finally available.” Xi Bie smiled again, “The last time you said you asked me to make clothes for your children, is it still count?” She said this carefully, in fact, she was afraid that Xia Mian would hate her to do it. His clothes, in this palace, whose children are not expensive.
“Of course it counts, I can’t ask for it! Now it’s all right, I can save trouble.” Xia Mian said happily. The clothes made by these little clothes are very beautiful. At first glance, they have taken countless thoughts. They are much better than those made by the House of Internal Affairs or the maids.
But no, what a mother does for her child is the same as what someone else does. The former must be appropriate everywhere.
Hearing that a stone in his heart fell to the ground, “I will do it for you later.”
“It’s too troublesome for my sister.” Xia Mian really found it troublesome, and she wouldn’t do it, but even if she could, she probably didn’t bother to do it. Just like modern times, a few even make clothes for their children themselves and just buy them.
“What is the trouble, I like it.” Xi Bie insisted.
Taking the small bag of clothes, the two of them sat down and were about to talk, when An Bi came.
Xia Mian is pregnant and wants to be promoted to the concubine, so An 嫔 can’t come and have a look and give a great gift.
There are gold and jade ones. One of the things that Xia Mian likes most is the golden basin engraved with the meaning of peony blossoms and riches.
Look at the thick material, look at the “simple” luster, you don’t need it to wash your hands, and it’s good for collection.
“I’m here late?” Anbi smiled when he saw him there.
“It’s not too late, just sit down.” Xia Mian hurriedly asked Jiang Xiang to serve her tea.
Just after An Bin sat down, before she could say a few words, Concubine Yi sent someone to give Xia Mian something. Soon, Xia Mian would sit on an equal footing with her. There is now an imperial concubine and five concubines in the palace, plus Xia Mian. Six, it’s a bit too much.
The situation is uncertain, and she naturally wants to be more united with Xia Mian. Just in time for these two days, Elder Brother Jiu suffered a cold. She took care of him, and was afraid to pass the sickness to Xia Mian, otherwise she would definitely have to come in person.
Concubine Yi gave all good things. Xia Mian picked up the items. She was very happy, but she suddenly became uneasy when she thought about it. She also thought about the situation in the palace, and then about the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine was kind to her before and wanted her to raise the fourth eldest brother. She probably could guess that it was because she was spoiled and had no family and no children. Now she wants to have her own child. What is the attitude of the imperial concubine?
Xia Mian could remember that Liu elder brother is still ill, the imperial concubine’s means… she shuddered in a moment of excitement.
If there was something in her mind, she mostly dealt with it when she talked to Xiu and An. Soon, Xiu and An saw it, and said euphemistically that if Xia Mian needed it, they could help.
Xia Mian only smiled and shook her head. They might not be able to help with this matter.
After sending them away, Xia Mian decided to try some ways to test the attitude of the imperial concubine, otherwise she was uneasy.
