Chapter 61 There is a green snake on the bed
"Mrs. Hai sent me snacks openly. I believe that Mrs. Hai will definitely not harm me."
Shen Lingshu looked at the twin cakes, picked up a piece and smelled it. It was indeed the fragrance of roses, mixed with the fragrance of cakes, the sour and sweet taste of jujube paste, and the salty fragrance of salted egg yolks. She asked curiously: "I've never tasted something this sweet and salty together."
"So the Twin Cake is especially delicious." Hai Jiaren said, taking a piece of cake to taste first and saying, "It smells good."
Hai Jiaren was eating happily. Before Shen Lingshu opened her mouth, Hua Mama came and said with a smile, "It's better for an old woman to take a look at the food you put in. Don't worry."
"As she should, Ma'am, you are ordered by the prince to take care of Sister Shen, so you should be more careful." Hai Jiaren watched Ma'am Hua break and crush the cake, looking at it carefully and smelling it carefully. She sat on the stool without any panic.
Aunt Hua tasted it again before saying, "Madam Shen, it's fine."
"I said, there must be no problem with the things Aunt Hai sent."
Shen Lingshu looked at the calm Hai Jiaren with a smile. These cakes looked fine on their own, but when they were mixed with Chunju, they were like a poison that would induce labor.
It is spring now, and it is the time to eat spring oranges.
"How is it? Sister Shen, is it delicious?" Hai Jiaren said with a smile, urging: "Sister, eat more quickly."
"No, just try it."
Shen Lingshu wiped her hands with a handkerchief. Outside the door, a grassy voice came: "Some apples and spring oranges have just arrived in the mansion. The concubine specially sent them to Aunt Shen to try."
"Thank you, Concubine."
Liu Si came in with two plates of fruit and said with a smile, "Master, the concubine just asked Cao Lu to send some fruit. These apples and spring oranges look delicious."
When Shen Lingshu saw Chunju, her eyes flashed. She looked up at Hai Jiaren and said, "Auntie Hai, this is a gift from the concubine. Why don't you try it too?"
"No need." Hai Jiaren shook her head and refused: "This is given by the concubine to Sister Shen and the child in her belly. I won't taste it. It's getting late. I'll go back first."
Hai Jiaren left decisively, as if she was just going to bring some food to Shen Lingshu.
"Master, do you want to wash some?" Liu Si asked, "Apple or spring orange?"
Shen Lingshu clapped her hands: "You guys eat, I'm full."
"Zhu Xin, help me massage my legs." Shen Lingshu lay on the couch, holding a pillow against her waist. As her neck became bigger and bigger, she often woke up in pain from cramps in the middle of the night. It would be better if she massaged it more during the day.
Zhu Xin gently rubbed and pressed her legs. Shen Lingshu said, "Zhu Xin, keep a close eye on her these few days. If you notice anything unusual, don't make a sound."
“…” Zhu Xin looked up in shock.
Yihe Courtyard.
As soon as Hai Jiaren returned to the yard, she couldn't help but feel angry. She had clearly told Concubine Fang that it was spring oranges, but Concubine Fang still gave her apples as an extra gift. Was she on guard against her?
snort.
Hai Jiaren snorted coldly. Once she gave birth to a son and successfully became a concubine, why would she be afraid of Concubine Fang?
For several days in a row, Hai Jiaren sent cakes to Shen Lingshu in various ways, such as jujube paste cakes, Dingsheng cakes, and mung bean cakes. Hai Jiaren smiled every time, making it impossible for people to refuse.
February 16th.
"There's still no movement from Youlan Courtyard?"
Concubine Fang was copying Buddhist scriptures. She knew that Hai Jiaren had been going to Youlan Courtyard every day these days. She originally thought that she would have received good news a long time ago, but who knew that there was no news at all.
"No."
Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "Concubine, could it be that Aunt Hai is lying to you? She just wants to learn how to maintain a healthy pregnancy from Nanny Liu?"
Yindian told Hai Jiaren what she did every day. In addition to making pastries, when she arrived in Youlan, she went to Liu Ma to learn how to take care of the pregnancy.
"Hai has had enough of being on the bench these days. She is an ambitious person and will definitely not sit idly by and watch her position as concubine being snatched away." Concubine Fang lowered her eyes, waved to Nanny Gui, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Nanny Gui's eyes were fierce, and she said, "Don't worry, Concubine, I will make sure to make it beautiful for you."
February 18th.
In Youlan Courtyard, Zhuxin whispered, "Master, Liusi just said that someone sneaked into your room."
Shen Lingshu glanced back, nodded slightly, and reminded: "Tell Liu Si to be careful."
"Don't worry, Master." Zhu Xin whispered in her ear. Hai Jiaren's voice came from outside the door.
“Sister Shen, I’m here to bring you cakes again. Today I made plum blossom cakes.”
Hai Jiaren took out the cakes and took a piece of cloth from the maid Yindian: “Sister Shen is not short of cloth, but this is also a little gift from my younger sister.”
A piece of high-quality white silk material, soft and skin-friendly, most suitable for newborn babies.
"It's a waste of money."
Shen Lingshu took a look and said, "I feel uncomfortable in my stomach today, so I won't accompany you."
What sister and sister? Shen Lingshu got goose bumps all over her body when she heard it.
"uncomfortable?"
Hai Jiaren immediately said: "Sister Shen, spring oranges are good to eat. They are sour and sweet and can suppress the discomfort in the stomach. I also learned a set of massage techniques that can relieve discomfort. Sister Shen, would you like to try it?"
"OK."
Shen Lingshu's eyes flickered slightly, and she led Hai Jiaren into the inner room.
“Sister Shen’s room is decorated so exquisitely.”
When Hai Jiaren entered the inner room for the first time, she saw the gauze curtains and window caps, all of which were made of high-quality materials. She also looked at the dressing table, which was filled with things, and the mattress on the bed, which was made of gorgeous silk. Even just by looking at it, she could imagine how soft it was.
The jealousy in Hai Jiaren's eyes flashed, and Shen Lingshu said: "It's just some little things, then come to the bed."
Shen Lingshu lifted a corner of the quilt, stepped back repeatedly, turned around and ran outside: "Help!"
Outside the Youlan Courtyard, Prince Lin, who had just returned to the palace, quickened his pace upon hearing the voice. He was startled to see Shen Lingshu running out with a pale face and a big belly.
"Your Majesty."
The moment Shen Lingshu saw Chu Cong, her eyes instantly turned red. She rushed towards her and said in fear: "There is a green snake on the bed. It's so scary."
At this moment, Shen Lingshu was trembling with fear, her eyes red like a frightened deer, she looked pitiful, and her trembling voice aroused his desire to protect her.
"Don't be afraid, the king is here."
Chu Cong put his arm around her shoulders and patted her gently to comfort her. He glanced at Qing Wu who was standing beside him. Qing Wu immediately ran into the house, frightening the beautiful Hai Jiaren who ran out of the house: "Ah... there's a snake!"
"Hai, why are you here?" Chu Cong frowned when he saw Hai Jiaren.
Hai Jiaren was still in shock. When she saw Chu Cong, she was a little shocked: "The prince is back?"
"Why, is it not the right time for me to come back?" Chu Cong glanced at her coldly. Qiu Rong was just like this back then. She was forced to give birth prematurely by her aunt, and ended up with two deaths.
