The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 282: Showing Your Value

Fortunately, it took Shi Daoist Nun at least half an hour to go in and go through the procedures each time, so the maid managed to catch up with her in the round trip.

When Shi Dao Nun was walking out, the maid followed her and stopped her.

She first stated her purpose, but Taoist nun Shi still looked a little hesitant.

However, she had already prepared to go to Wen Cairen's palace, because an expert had told her that today the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Wen Cairen, would invite her over.

But every time, Taoist Nun Shi would try to refuse, so as to highlight her worth.

After the maid stuffed several purses with money, Taoist nun Shi smiled and said, "Well, then I will go on this trip to meet this destined person."

When the maid heard that she was willing to go, she was so grateful that she almost knelt down in front of her. If she couldn't invite this Taoist nun Shi to go back today, she didn't know how angry Concubine Wen would be.

Although Wen Cairen would lose her temper with servants like them, when she saw Taoist Shi coming, she smiled and treated her with even more respect and friendliness than she would her own mother.

In Wen Cairen's mind, Shi Dao Gu was an immortal, so he did not hide his request.

After drinking a cup of tea with her, he asked Taoist nun Shi, "Excuse me, immortal, in my situation, can you help me calculate and ask God when I can have a child?"

Nun Shi was muttering something in her mouth, and she took out a tortoise shell and a divination jacket from her cloth bag, and fiddled with them on the table. Then she squinted her eyes and stared at the hexagram in front of her.

Her mysterious behavior actually frightened an outsider like Wen Cairen.

She quickly asked, "Ancestor, is there anything wrong with my fortune?"

Taoist nun Shi still squinted her eyes and didn't say much. She counted on her fingers for a while before asking, "Is the length of this nobleman's day not accurate?"

This really touched Wen Cairen's heart.

For a moment, Wen Cairen held her hand and treated her as a god. He didn't expect that Taoist Shi could even calculate such a thing.

She held Shi Dao-nu's hand, nodded and said, "That's right. It's often delayed, at least the next day, at most one or two months."

"That's it!" Taoist nun Shi said with certainty, teasing the audience.

"What is that?" Wen Cairen's heart was thumping at her words. "Is there any way to solve it?"

Taoist nun Shi said with a serious face, "It's not that Concubine Wen has no children. Whether this day comes or not, it actually means that the prince is going to look for this mother."

Taoist nun Shi sighed, "It's just that it didn't fall to you, my noble man, but fell to somewhere else. Someone else has robbed you of your good fortune."

Taoist nun Shi explained to Wen Cairen with a serious face that if the woman was pregnant, her period would not come, so when she came late, it was actually the gods in heaven who sent her children down.

It's just that it wasn't placed firmly in her stomach and was snatched away by someone else.

When Wen Cairen heard this, his face turned half pale.

"Who says it's not?"

In the past year or two, women in the harem have become pregnant one after another, such as Concubine Zhou, Concubine Xin, Concubine Ning, Concubine Zhang, and Qin Liuse who is now pregnant.

Aren’t all of them stealing her luck of having children?

Thinking of this, Wen Cairen became a little angry, and looked at Taoist nun Shi with a pleading look on his face, "Do you have any instructions? Can you help me get out of this dangerous situation?"

Nun Shi You closed her eyes and acted like a ghost, rolling her eyes around while explaining to Wen Cairen that she was asking for instructions from the gods.

Wen Cairen actually believed it, so he sat aside, not daring to say a word for fear of disturbing the gods, and waited anxiously for the result.

After a while, Taoist nun Shi opened her eyes again and said, "I see that you are a pitiful person. You have been unable to get pregnant for so long. If I don't help you, I, a vegetarian who chants Buddhist scriptures, will feel bad."

At this moment, Wen Cairen simply treated her as her reborn parent, and quickly took out two more silver bills and stuffed them into Shi Dao Nun's hand.

Shi Daoist nun said "Amitabha" and then said, "If we can get the child back, your fortune will naturally come back with him."

After hearing this, Wen Cairen frowned thoughtfully and clenched her fists. For a moment, she had no good feelings towards the women in the palace who had just given birth or were still pregnant.

I feel that it is because of them that my child can't find his way into my belly.

Shi Daoist nun stopped talking and saw that Wen Cairen seemed to have figured it out, so she changed the subject and said, "I will write a prescription for you. You should take care of yourself first and make your stomach better. The child will know which stomach is better and will naturally come to me."

Wen Cairen was so grateful that he burst into tears. He talked to Taoist nun Shi for a long time before sending her out the door.

As soon as Nun Shi left, Wen Cairen immediately returned to her room, first unpacked the prescription, and then carefully asked her maid to ask someone to bring it back several times.

Then he sat at his desk, picked up his pen, and wrote a letter to his parents.

If this matter is to succeed, the help of my mother's family is needed.

For a moment, Wen Cairen was very grateful that her mother's family was capable, and that she had such a superior family background that could help her in such a harem.

Zhaoyang Palace.

Qin Liuse over there rarely met the Taoist nun Shi since May.

It wasn't that Taoist Nun Shi didn't come to the palace, but Qin Liuse had been staying in her own Zhaoyang Palace since the end of April, and her time of going out didn't match that of Taoist Nun Shi, so they rarely met.

This was because at the end of April, Emperor Yongjia saw that Qin Liuse was pregnant and had difficulty walking. She felt tired after walking for a long time. He was also worried that she was too bored in the palace, so he asked the Music Bureau to invite someone to sing for her.

In fact, what Qin Liuse likes to watch most is not the singing and dancing performances, but the folk acrobatics.

These are what are interesting to her.

Maybe it was because she grew up in the countryside, she preferred these down-to-earth things. She always felt that elegant things like singing and dancing were something that should be watched in formal occasions, such as during festivals or at men's homes.

Emperor Yongjia indulged her in almost everything. Since the juggling performances were a bit noisy and unsafe with weapons, he asked someone to invite in people who performed with small human figures from outside the palace.

However, it was required that those craftsmen who came to the palace to perform must be girls.

Speaking of which, this kind of paper shadow is also very attractive to children, so Qin Liuse's Zhaoyang Palace, because of the arrival of these civilians, unexpectedly attracted many children in the palace.

The eldest prince is in good spirits, but he cannot come every day.

Whenever he had time, he would run to the imperial study to ask his father for permission to come to Qin Zhaoyi's place and talk to her.

Generally speaking, if he did his homework well in those two days, Emperor Yongjia would approve his request.

So, in May, Qin Liuse became the king of the children.

And her Zhaoyang Palace seemed to have become the back garden of these little princes and princesses.

Qin Liuse thought she was very popular with children, but she didn't expect that all those who could walk and jump would come at once.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5th, the little princes and princesses who had just opened their eyes in the palace were given holidays, and even more people came to the Zhaoyang Palace.

Emperor Yongjia was still young, so his eldest child was only six or seven years old, like the eldest prince.

There are no teenage princesses in the palace, otherwise the girls would have to do a lot of maid work during this festival.

Some concubines who were more attentive and skillful would also compete to do some handicrafts to show off their skills before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Qin Liuse has never been good at learning skills, and she has been busy doing needlework for her unborn baby recently, so she did not follow the other concubines in the palace to make sachets for Emperor Yongjia.

However, although these little kids cannot do housework or anything like that, the Shanggong Bureau has arranged some work for them, otherwise a group of kids would be really noisy.

I let the little princess and the little prince take the dried bamboo leaves and taught them how to make small rice dumplings and small boats.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, we would take it to the lakeside of Four Seasons Garden, put some rice on a flat-bottomed boat, or tie it into small dumplings and throw them into the lake, to get into the atmosphere of the festival.

On this day, in addition to eating rice dumplings, every palace in the palace would distribute rice dumplings, and every small kitchen would also boil some anti-poison potions.

It is said that this medicine is most effective when taken on the Dragon Boat Festival.

You can't see dragon boat racing in the palace, but it's easy to boil water to expel poison, so each palace is equipped with the corresponding medicinal materials and asked to boil it.

On this day, Zhaoyang Palace also cooked a large pot of dragon boat detoxifying water.

However, Qin Liuse was pregnant, so she did not eat these cool things, and only let the palace maids and eunuchs share them.

There was a lot of sugar in the detoxifying water, and a few greedy little princes and princesses also ate some.

But in the afternoon of that day, news came that several little princes and princesses were suffering from stomachaches.
