My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

After Xue Youli recovered, she hardly touched the food on the plate.

Seeing this, Chu Xinyue quickly called Banxia over and poured her a cup of warm water. "Ali, rinse your mouth first. You've become so thin and hungry lately. If it were me, I'd just ask the emperor to give you a small kitchen..."

"cough!"

When Xue Youli took the teacup, she coughed deliberately to stop her from continuing.

Chu Xinyue immediately covered her mouth and exchanged a look with her, showing understanding.

After seeing this, what else did the concubines at the banquet not understand?

They all had different expressions and turned their eyes to Xue Youli.

When Chu Xinyue wrote this novel, her setting was that only concubines and above could have their own small kitchen.

Looking at the entire harem, the three people who now have small kitchens are Concubine Li, who was once the only favorite in the harem, Concubine Chun, who has to boil medicine to drink every day, and Concubine Rong, who has a daughter.

Xue Youli, a small noble, wanted to break this rule, but she was afraid that she was really pregnant with a dragon seed, so she would not dare to say such words that a mother's status is determined by her son.

At this time, Xue Youli didn't care about the gazes of the crowd. She just held the teacup and drank water in small sips.

Guess what, the more outrageous their guesses are, the more ruthless some people will be.

"Lady Xue, would you like some sour plum soup?"

At this moment, Duan Cainv, who was sitting on the other side of Xue Youli, picked up the pot of sour plum soup beside her and looked at the two of them with a gentle smile.

After a pause, she added, "This is the sour plum soup I made myself. It doesn't contain hawthorn or licorice, so it tastes quite different!"

Friends who are familiar with medical knowledge know that hawthorn and licorice are not suitable for pregnant women.

Recently, rumors about Xue Youli's pregnancy have been flying around in the harem, but as long as the imperial physician does not confirm this, then this news may be a smokescreen released by Xue Youli.

But Duan Cainv lives next door to Xue Youli. If even the sour plum soup she makes is made according to the standards for pregnant women, then Xue Youli's pregnancy is basically confirmed.

When Xue Qingyao, who was sitting at the next table, heard Duan Cainv speak, her pupils shrank and her eyes looked nervous and expectant.

Last time, she secretly asked Lianxin to find someone to approach Duan Cainv and encourage Duan Cainv to make friends with Xue Youli.

Been waiting for today!

However, Xue Qingyao did not place all her hopes on Duan Cainv. She made preparations for both scenarios to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

At this moment, she secretly estimated the distance between Duan Cainv and Xue Youli, and finally glanced at Xue Youli's belly which was not yet visible.

With so many concubines present, no one wanted Xue Youli to give birth to the child smoothly.

Unfortunately, these women have the intention but not the courage to do it, so she has to abort Xue Youli's fetus.

A life for a life, just consider it as revenge for her mother!

Xue Youli looked at the pot of sour plum soup in Duan Cainv's hand and picked up the empty cup beside her. "Thank you, Sister Duan. Give me a cup then."

"it is good."

Duan Cainv poured her half a cup of sour plum soup and then sat back in her seat.

"Sister Duan!" Rong Qingyue saw Xue Youli holding up the sour plum soup and about to put it to her mouth, and immediately said to Duan Cainv, "I'm thirsty too. How about sharing some of your sour plum soup with me?"

Xue Youli saved her daughter's life and enthusiastically treated her daughter's asthma. Rong Qingyue was worried that there was something wrong with Duan Cainv's sour plum soup, so she took the initiative to ask Duan Cainv for it.

Firstly, it was to remind Xue Youli to be cautious before drinking sour plum soup.

Secondly, he also wanted to punish Duan Cainü. If the sour plum soup was tampered with, she would be the first one he would not let go.

However, facing Rong Qingyue's initiative to drink sour plum soup, Duan Cainv's expression was frank, "Yes, I also added brown sugar to the sour plum soup. It tastes sour and sweet and is very appetizing."

"Oh? Really?" Rong Qingyue raised her eyebrows and pointed at Murong Xi who was sitting next to her. "Xi'er is also a greedy person. Can she drink?"

Duan Cainv nodded, "Of course."

If even children aged four or five can drink it, then there is naturally no problem for pregnant women to drink it.

Rong Qingyue felt relieved and asked Caixia to pour two cups of sour plum soup.

Xue Youli knew Rong Qingyue's good intentions and gave her a grateful look.

She was a doctor, and she treated Murong Xi out of professional ethics.

But after Rong Qingyue accepted her love, he always took good care of her.

At this dinner, everyone had something on their mind, and most people had no appetite for the food.

But Chu Xinyue enjoyed the meal very much. Empress Dowager Yin was a vegetarian, and there were not so many delicious dishes in the Cining Palace.

In order to maintain her image as someone who suffers from morning sickness, Xue Youli could only watch her eat.

However, seeing her best friend eating so happily, Xue Youli simply put down her chopsticks and focused on watching the food show, enjoying the feast for her eyes.

After the dinner, everyone went to the lakeside of the Imperial Garden to release lanterns and pray for blessings.

The lanterns were neatly placed on the ground, and on the tables next to them were pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

After everyone had chosen their lanterns, they went to the table, wrote down their wishes, put them in the lanterns, and then released them into the lake along with the lanterns.

Xue Youli picked a table with the least people and walked over to write down her wish.

Xue Qingyao deliberately followed her and watched her write the four characters "a boy was born in one stroke" on the note.

What Xue Qingyao didn't know was that when she focused all her attention on Xue Youli, Chu Xinyue was secretly following her.

At this moment, they performed the saying "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it" to the fullest.

When Xue Qingyao saw Xue Youli finish writing her wish and walk towards the river with the lantern in her hand, she quickly winked at Lianxin beside her.

Lianxin knew what she meant and walked towards her with a lantern.

While Xue Qingyao was watching Xue Youli's every move, she suddenly caught sight of Duan Cainv standing next to Xue Youli.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.

This position is simply the perfect time, place and people!

It seems that even God is helping her tonight!

Xue Qingyao winked at Lianxin. Lianxin spotted Duan Cainv's position, turned her wrist, and threw the stone in her hand out.

It hit Duan Cainv's knee accurately.

Duan Cainv felt pain and lost her balance, falling towards Xue Youli.

However, Xue Youli seemed to have foreseen Duan Cainv's accident and stepped aside a second before she pounced.

Xue Qingyao watched Duan Cainv's attack come to nothing, and she was so anxious that she wanted to curse.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a hand behind her pushing her waist hard.

Xue Qingyao was caught off guard and was pushed out immediately.

She was originally some distance away from Xue Youli.

However, when Xue Youli avoided Duan Cainv just now, he moved a few steps towards her without leaving any trace.

When Xue Qingyao rushed out, Xue Youli was already standing in front of her.

Xue Qingyao watched her hand push towards Xue Youli's waist, but she couldn't stop at all.

what happened?

She had clearly planned to let Duan Cainv push Xue Youli down, so why was she the one who rushed to the front in the end?
