"I am convinced of the power of the vows of the universal virtuous, and now I know that I know the above wonderful offerings and make offerings ......"

Above the green and white glazed lotus double-eared three-legged incense burner in the main hall of Shoukang Palace, green smoke curls, exuding a quiet and comfortable fragrance.

Zhou Mingshan tilted her head slightly, glanced at Concubine Ning who was lying on the bed, and put her eyes back on the "Huayan Sutra" in her hand, but her mind was a little wandering.

Enter the palace every day, go to Kunning Palace to ask for peace, go back to Shoukang Palace to chant, accompany Concubine Ning to chat, please be safe, and leave the palace......

Or the last time Concubine Ning was seriously ill, she did those things, she didn't see the queen, and she didn't meet that again, Emperor Xianqing Jian Weizhao.

Originally, she thought that the queen let her enter the palace for this purpose.

After all, in her current status, there is nothing worthy of her mother's calculations.

In her previous life, Su Xian didn't just use her to win the favor of Emperor Xianqing, and after giving birth to her son, she designed her out of the palace, and finally robbed her son and poisoned her.

Could it be that in this life, she wants to do it again?

But in the past few days, she has been so calm, so calm that it seems that she thinks too much.

"What's wrong with you?"

The sudden questioning from the top pulled Zhou Mingshan's sanity back.

It was Concubine Ning, looking at her with a tentative and incomprehensible look in her eyes.

Zhou Mingshan pursed her lips, leaned over and tucked the quilt for Concubine Ning, "It's nothing, Niangniang is tired?"

This time, Concubine Ning is really sick, think about it carefully, it seems that since last month, Concubine Ning's body has been getting better for a while, sick for a while.

In the previous life, Concubine Ning seemed to have died at this time.

Thinking of this, she added another layer of worry, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Concubine Ning's face again.

It just so happened that Concubine Ning was also looking at her, and she didn't dodge or dodge.

After a while, Concubine Ning retracted her gaze and responded, "Hmm, you should go back earlier!"

Zhou Mingshan replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Then he got up and called for someone to summon the female officials who served beside Concubine Ning.

This. She finally saw Bai Yu.

"Girl, you ......"

Bai Yu seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say anything after all, just nodded at her. So he sent her out.

The attitudes of Concubine Ning and Bai Yu are too strange, but if you want to think about it carefully, it seems to be nothing.

Waiting for Zhou Mingshan to leave Shoukang Palace, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to lie down in front of Concubine Ning. "Niangniang, why don't you sue the fourth girl?"

When Concubine Ning heard this, her slightly closed eyelids slowly opened, revealing a glimmer of light under her eyes, staring at Bai Yu, "What can you do if you sue her?"

Bai Yuben's somewhat angry eyes immediately eclipsed, yes, even if she sues the girl, can she resist the disrespect?

Besides, the queen didn't do anything.

But thinking of that one, Bai Yu was a little worried. "What if the emperor ......"

Concubine Ning glanced at her, Bai Yu immediately swallowed the words in her mouth, lowered her head and looked sneering, she almost forgot the rules again.

After a long time, Concubine Ning's weak and fluttering voice came from above her head, "It's okay for the time being......"

After several days, Zhou Mingshan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Dare to ask this father-in-law, the courtiers have never thanked the queen for their grace when they entered the palace these days, I wonder if the lady is free at this moment?"

Since she didn't know what she meant, she couldn't wait so passively.

The chamberlain was still smiling. "It's unfortunate, Niangniang is seeing Mrs. Su!"

Mrs. Su must be the wife of Su Gaocan, a cabinet scholar, and Su Xian's mother, Ji.

Sure enough, it's not a coincidence. Zhou Mingshan sighed secretly, and had to walk back slowly.

I was thinking to see if I could come over and get any clues from the queen to see what the hell she was doing.

If she really thinks about Concubine Ning's condition, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Back at the Xingyuan Marquis' Mansion, the reward in the palace came again, this time only for her.

Look at that pile of brocade, jewelry. Zhou Mingshan suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

She hates this situation where she can't touch anything, where she can't come from, where she can't go.

Playing with these people, she admits that she doesn't have that ability, and she doesn't have that kind of interest.

Chunhua-in.

Zhou Mingke stood in front of the window, staring out of the window, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the window.

actually let Zhou Mingshan enter the palace again, what was Concubine Ning thinking?

Could it be that there are so many nieces and nephews, only that Zhou Mingshan can get into her eyes?

She clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles whitened and loosened slightly.

Ma Shi, who was sitting behind her, kept chattering and complaining, "Look at how these people are so blind?"

Thinking of those rewards in the palace, she felt that her eyes were very astringent, they were all useful, and she gave them to the dead girl in the third room like that!

"Hmph, it's just a concubine, what's so good about it!"

"Mother, what did you say?"

Zhou Mingke felt that Ma's boring complaint was the most useless, and although he didn't want to admit it, he was not the same as Zhou Mingshan, he was a concubine.

"Where can she compare with you?" Ma Shi seemed to understand her thoughts, and glared at her, "Your father is from a noble concubine, and your grandmother is the cousin of Lord Hou......"

Zhou Mingke raised his eyebrows, "Really, why has my daughter never heard you mention it?"

Ma Shi was speechless for a while, and when his daughter asked, he didn't dare to answer, "This ...... This ......"

Hou Ye ordered not to mention this matter again, she didn't dare to commit a taboo.

"Okay, okay, don't you know now, don't ask again in your heart, Master Hou specially explained that you won't be allowed to mention it again!"

Ma muttered and lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room.

Zhou Mingke looked at her back thoughtfully.

Is that so?

No wonder she had never heard anyone mention it all these years.

However, on second thought, it didn't help either.

If you can't get into the eyes of nobles, it's not the same when you go out of your concubine.

Thinking of this, she looked to the east again, rolled her eyes, and called the girl in a low voice for a while.

There must be someone in a hurry than her!

Zhou Mingshan didn't know Zhou Mingshan's thoughts, and even if she knew, she would only laugh at it.

She avoids like a snake and scorpion, and the second sister and the third sister are afraid that they can't ask for it!

Fortunately, within two days, Concubine Ning's condition stabilized, and she didn't have to go into the palace to accompany her.

In addition to taking care of the Yuan family, Zhou Mingshan, who was a little relieved, occasionally took time to go to the Yuan Mansion.

Although Gu's attitude towards her was not as loud and scolding as before. But it's also a cold look of ignoring it.

Zhou Mingshan didn't take it to heart, she was mainly here to comfort her eldest cousin.

Half a month has passed, and there is no news from the East River.

No matter how strong the Lian clan is, he can't help such torture. The whole life has lost weight. The clothes were dangling on her body, and Zhou Mingshan saw her crying secretly behind her back several times.

Lian is not from the capital, his mother's family is not here, and he doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

Zhou Mingshan couldn't bear it, so she could only run a few more times. Let her vent the bitterness in her heart.

Thinking of Lian's increasingly haggard face and distracted eyes, she couldn't help but have a sour nose, could it be that the eldest cousin really couldn't come back?

Fortunately, God still didn't completely make her desperate.

The news finally came from the Donghe side, saying that the eldest cousin Yuan Wei was rescued by a farmer, but he injured his leg and was temporarily unable to move, so he had to raise it slowly.

"Hongyun, you go to Cross Alley. Tell the news to my aunt and cousin!" As soon as Zhou Mingshan got the news, he hurriedly ordered Hongyun.

But without waiting for Hongyun to respond, she said again, "No, I'll go there myself!"

Yuan has been worried about his nephew and brother these days, and now he finally has news, of course he has to sue her,

Dui Xiang nodded in response.

Zhou Mingshan took Hongyun to Yuan's mansion.

Different from the bleakness last time, the descendants of the Yuan family were all beaming. Even walking with the sound of the wind.

Hongyun smiled and said, "Girl, we're late, my uncle and wife seem to have gotten the news!"

Yuan's mansion was sprinkled everywhere. Apparently it is to remove dirt and bad luck.

Mama An's nephew also mentioned it when she passed the news that she had already informed the uncle and the second cousin of the Yuan family, but she didn't expect the eldest uncle to move so fast, I think I was afraid that the family would be worried!

Zhou Mingshan sighed secretly and stepped into the main room.

Gu Shi, who was dressed in a purple gown, was sitting with a woman of a similar age, talking enthusiastically and smiling. Energetic.

Seeing her, Gu's smile froze, and then he returned to normal, pointing to the woman and introducing, "Sister Shan, come here, this is Mrs. Lu, the wife of the Senate of the General Political Envoy." ”

Zhou Mingshan smiled and stepped forward to salute.

Lu Shi smiled and grabbed her, looked at her, and praised, "Oh, where did you come from, how come I don't know, could it be that you have been hiding all these years?"

The smile is hearty, the voice is crisp, and the words are full of familiarity.

Gu Shi glanced at her and replied, "Look at what you say, can I hide such a big daughter?" This is the pearl of my sister-in-law's palm!"

Lu Shi let out an "oh", looking like he suddenly realized, "It turned out to be a girl from the Zhou family." ”

Zhou Mingshan was blessed again, and then sat down under Gu's signal and listened to them.

Seeing that they are familiar with Cheng Dù, this Mrs. Lu should have known her eldest aunt when she was in the boudoir.

The two sighed about their childhood years for a while, and then talked about the difficulties of the world, or took care of family affairs...... It's always a topic of conversation among women.

After saying a few more words, Gu Shi glanced at Zhou Mingshan, and called Lian Shi, "Your sister is young, I'm afraid she can't bear to listen to us, you take her to sit with you!"

Afraid that they would say something bad in front of her, Zhou Mingshan understood, got up and followed Lian to the backyard.

The house of the Yuan family was built when Yuan Lao Hanlin was alive at that time, and there were three entrances before and after, and the Yuan family was not much, and it was spacious.

Outside the west room, there were a few canopies in full bloom, and the two of them sat down on the window, and there was a dense plane tree outside the wall to shade them, and there was an ice basin in the room, which was quite cool.

Zhou Mingshan looked around, but when she didn't see the tiger's head, she asked Lian's.

Lian Shi pursed his lips and smiled, the tenderness in his eyes was about to overflow, "There has been something at home in the past few days, and he has been restrained so badly, so I let the girls take him to the back to play." ”

There is a small pond on the side of the backyard with a few carp in it, and the tiger head likes to tease and feed when he is fine.

Fortunately, the water there is very shallow, and there is a girl watching it, and Lian's is relieved.

Thinking of Tiger Head's naughty and mischievous temperament, he is indeed a person who can't calm down, I'm afraid that even the clan won't dare to let him out these days.

After thinking about it, Zhou Mingshan stopped talking about this, and asked about the guests in the main room instead.

"Sister-in-law, does this Mrs. Lu come often?"

"No, I came here a few days ago, and you just didn't run into it!" Knowing the news of her husband, Lian's mood was obviously good, and he was still interested in gossiping with Zhou Mingshan.

"I heard that this Mrs. Lu is a stepfamily, leaving a son and a daughter in front of her, but she can speak and have means, and she only revolves around that Lord Qian, and the two in front of her can't take care of it!"

As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and some things are unavoidable.

Most mothers in the world may be the same, and when they hear that a child is suffering, they will inevitably feel distressed.

Thinking that Lian was also upset with the two children, he didn't care that Zhou Mingshan hadn't left the cabinet yet, so he told her this.

Zhou Mingshan smiled, pretended not to notice, and nodded, "That Mrs. Lu can indeed speak." ”

The general political envoy is the five grades, and Mrs. Lu is the five grades, but she just talked to the Gu family in the main room, and never mentioned the official position and the edict, but she just praised the eldest cousin and the second cousin for their young and promising young and promising, smart and clever, and the eldest cousin and sister-in-law are virtuous and capable......

When she talked about her, she didn't mention her family background, nor did she mention her father and ancestors, but only said that she was a girl from the Zhou family.

Lian pouted when he heard this, "My daughter's family should be chaste and virtuous, and if you talk too much, you will lose, and it is easy to make a tongue." ”

Lian, who has always been introverted and docile, actually said such harsh words, and he thought that he had a lot of criticism for this Mrs. Lu.

Zhou Mingshan comforted her, "What's the matter, it's just a few words with your aunt, and she can't offend you." ”

Lian Shi thought about it, and it was true, and he also laughed a little, "Hey, I also eat salty radishes and worry about it, what do I do with other people's affairs?"

The two talked for a while, and when they heard that Mrs. Lu had already said goodbye to the main room, Zhou Mingshan also got up and went to the main room to say a few words to the Gu family, and left the Yuan Mansion.

After returning to the Xingyuan Marquis' Mansion, Zhou Mingshan went to the main house first.

Sure enough, Yuan was waiting for her.

Zhou Mingshan was secretly amused, and hurriedly told the situation of the Gu family and the Lian family.

Knowing that the eldest nephew was out of danger, Yuan was very happy, and he couldn't stop chattering, "Amitabha, God bless, your eldest aunt and eldest cousin are also bitter!

A look of great regret.

Zhou Mingshan comforted her, "Mother, when the eldest cousin comes back, maybe the little brother will be born, and when you finish the confinement, it's not convenient to go anywhere!"

Yuan thought about it, too, so he stopped being entangled, and instructed Zang Rui to pack up some tonic herbs and send them to the side of the cross alley.

"Your eldest cousin has suffered this crime, and I don't know if it's inconvenient over there, so we should do our best!"

Zhou Mingshan was stunned, she had been worried about the affairs in the palace for the past few days, and now she ran to the Yuan Mansion when she got the news, where do you remember this.

When she went back, she hurriedly ordered a pile of incense, and asked her to pick out some practical ones among the things she appreciated in the palace and send them to Yuan's mansion together.
