When I returned to Fangjiao Palace, the night was already dark, and the tired Zhao Yan still had to serve Kangxi, the uncle, in wide clothes.

Kangxi muttered with some displeasure: "The fourth child is really, the belly in the side room is so big, what are you doing with it in the palace?"

Hehe, is this still the fault of the four Baylors?

Zhao Yan yawned and said, "This is the first big festival after the Li family sealed the side of the Fujin, and Sibeile probably thinks it is not appropriate to be absent." What's more, before the day of delivery, who would have thought that the Li clan would suddenly launch it?"

After saying this, Zhao Yan's eyelids were fighting, and the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was so late, she was really sleepy.

Kangxi looked at Zhao Yan's pitiful appearance of not opening his eyes, so he didn't say more, held Zhao Yan's hand, and went to sleep inside.

Zhao Yan slept well this night, and when she slept until the next day, she was on three poles.

Bai Tan brought a few palace maids with quick hands and feet to come in to serve and change clothes and wash, and the palace maids around Zhao Yan changed a batch, and now Hua Zhen and Hua Tian of the Hua Zi generation have been promoted to first-class palace maids and serve closely.

Hua Zhen was skillful and served Zhao Yan to comb her hair, and Bai Tan took the cream to smooth Zhao Yan's face, and said: "Niangniang, Concubine Niangniang came early in the morning." But seeing that you are still asleep, tell the minions not to disturb you. ”

Zhao Yan said in her heart, my cousin was afraid that she would misunderstand again, so she urged: "It's okay to comb an ordinary outfit, hurry up!"

"Yes, sis. ”

After taking care of her makeup, Zhao Yan went to the front hall to meet guests.

As she gets older, her cousin Concubine Shu's outfit is getting more and more old-fashioned, and she is wearing a red sandalwood Fushou pattern flag dress today, covered with a stone blue Ruyi shoulder, and her demeanor is calm and square.

Seeing Zhao Yan appear, Concubine Shu hurriedly got up.

Zhao Yan hurriedly approached, held Concubine Shu's hand, bent her knees together, and saw a hand-holding salute.

The hand-holding ceremony in the palace is to hold each other's hands and squat together, so that the number of rituals can only be done by people who have excellent personal relations and have the same position.

But Zhaoyan is the imperial concubine, ranked first-class, and the concubine is just a third-grade concubine, which is really not the same status. It's just that now it's in the Fangjiao Palace, and there is no need to worry so much about whether there are others or not.

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "I thought that yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you must have to get up late, but I didn't expect you to be so lazy." ”

Looking at her cousin's meaningful playful smile, Zhao Yan knew that her cousin wanted to be crooked again, she really didn't do anything last night? She was really tired, and Kangxi was rare not to be obsessed with please.

But in this case, even if it is explained, my cousin will not believe it, but will only get darker and darker, Zhao Yan had to smile awkwardly, "Cousin came just in time, I just want to ask for advice." ”

"Oh?"

The two went to sit opposite each other on the Luohan couch near the window, and Zhao Yan groaned slightly, and then said: "I know that my cousin has medical skills, and it is inconvenient to ask the imperial doctor about some things." So ......"

After a pause, Zhao Yan lowered her voice and asked, "The medicine of mushroom grass, I remember that it is used for menstrual regulation, but in addition, is there any other use?"

Hearing Zhao Yan ask, Concubine Shu's face changed suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Noticing the change in her cousin's face, Zhao Yan was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but think in her heart, my cousin went to take care of Li's birth last night, could it be that my cousin also found something?

Concubine Shu took a deep breath: "Yes, you met the Li family at Wutong Terrace yesterday, and you must have smelled the slight smell of mushroom grass that she emanated from her sleeve." ”

Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed, and sure enough, the flavor medicine was unusual.

Concubine Shu sighed and said in a low voice: "Ci mushroom grass can not only regulate menstrual blood, but also is an excellent oxytocic medicine!"

Zhao Yan chuckled in her heart, is that really the case?!

"Looks like my cousin noticed everything last night. Zhao said.

Concubine Shu shook her head and sighed, "I already interrogated Zao Xun last night, and I also talked to Sifu Jinshen. Let's just get over with that. ”

"Cousin mean, don't tell Si Baylor?" Zhao asked as she looked at her face.

Concubine Shu took a sip of the teacup, "It's useless to expose this matter, not to mention that in the final analysis, it was Sifu Jin who did the evil first, and it is really not too much for Zao Jing to fight back like this." ”

Zhao Yan smiled: "I didn't say that she was excessive, but this is the family matter of Sibeile, can you hide it from him?"

"This ......" Concubine Shu hesitated a little.

"I know that Li Zaoxin is my cousin's maiden niece, although I am not close, but I am also my cousin's own family. Zhao Yan glanced down at the clear tea soup in the tea cup, and Zhao Yan's tired face was reflected in the tea soup.

After all, Concubine Shu still has the heart to protect her shortcomings, she said in a low voice: "But now, there is no evidence, even if we tell Sibeile, Sibeile may not believe it." ”

Well, that's a real problem.

Concubine Shu sighed and said, "Sister, I do have some poor algae suffering. If the four Baylors can find out the clues of this matter, they will ask the algae to bear the consequences. If Si Beile still believes that it was Si Fu Jin's doing, Si Fu Jin is also to blame. ”

Zhao Yan smiled: "Well, this matter really shouldn't be my business." "—My cousin is short, why should she do it against her cousin. She has no friendship with Sifujin.

Concubine Shu nodded, she looked at Zhao Yan's face: "Why do I see that you don't look very good lately?"

Zhao Yan stroked her somewhat dry face, "Recently...... Indeed, I always feel tired and panicked, as if I can't rest. ”

Concubine Shu said with a straight face: "Then hurry up and send the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, don't delay." ”

Zhao Yan smiled and said: "What are you delaying? I'm not sick, I think I'm just old, I can't stand the fatigue, just rest for a few days." ”

Concubine Shu smiled: "What are you old! My aunt gave birth to you and Zhaojing in one breath when you were your age! It's too early to talk about old now!"

Zhao Yan's face was slightly embarrassed, E-Niang was born when she and Zhaojing were indeed old clam Huaizhu.

After that, Concubine Shu glanced at Bai Tan: "What are you still doing in a daze, call a little eunuch with fast legs, go and invite Zhou Yuanling!"

Bai Tan hurriedly glanced at Zhao Yan as if he was asking: "Niangniang......"

Zhao Yan was a little helpless, so she said, "That's it, go and please." "--If you are tired, you should take a warm soup and drink it, and it will get better in a few days.

Zhou Binghuan is deeply in the position of the hospital order, and only diagnoses the pulse of Kangxi, the Queen Mother and Zhao Yan on weekdays, and ordinary people can't even ask for it. However, when the Fangjiao Hall called, Zhou Binghuan came immediately.

"Weichen to the imperial concubine Niangniang, please say goodbye to the concubine Niangniang!" Zhou Yuanling hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed to say goodbye.

Concubine Shu put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Recently, the imperial concubine has been tired and tired, so you should come over and take a pulse first." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Binghuan got up and took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Zhao Yan again, and covered Zhao Hao's wrist with a gauze as thin as a cicada's wings, and then began to diagnose the pulse.

Touching the pulse, Zhou Binghuan's face changed suddenly, and he looked up at Zhao Yan in shock: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, you are a slippery pulse!"
