"Miss Yuanxiang is really good-looking." Shi Luoxue couldn't help but admire, and the smile of joy on her face darkened.

Yuan Xiang closed the curtain, invited the two of them in, and said quite embarrassedly: "Yuan Xiang is a vulgar powder, how can Miss Shi come to be beautiful and refined?" ”

"That's not it, as soon as I heard that the old lady was going to recruit a young lady, I don't know how many good people in Kyoto have to break through the door of our house!" Qiao'er followed Shi Luoxue into the palace several times, so she was naturally not afraid of Yuanxiang, and she was bold, so she made a joke about her own young lady.

Yuan Xiang was surprised and delighted, and asked with a smile: "The one who came to ask for a kiss, is there one that Miss Shi likes?" With the relationship between Miss Shi and His Majesty, I am afraid that anything that can make your young lady happy, Your Majesty can make it come true. ”

"Not necessarily—" Qiao'er's eyes rolled, deliberately lengthening her voice. Shi Luoxue was afraid that she would lose her manners and say the wrong thing, so she was ashamed and annoyed and hurriedly pinched her secretly, and Qiao'er covered her shoulders and shut up aggrievedly.

"Don't look at what kind of place this is, disturb Your Majesty's rest, be careful to hit your mouth." Shi Luoxue admonished, but the appearance of being soft and weak was not enough to make people fearful.

Yuan Xiang looked at the pair of masters and servants very funny, and also endured the smile on the corner of her mouth, and led the way inside: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has slept for a day, and it is also a coincidence, just in time for the young lady to wake up when she entered the palace, and the imperial doctor will come to revisit later, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to sleep for a while now, and he is shouting that no one will relieve his boredom for a while......"

"That's good, I came at a good time." When Shi Luoxue heard this, the smile on her face became more relaxed and happy, and even her steps became brisk, and she asked with concern, "It sounds like my brother seems to be in a much better spirit?" ”

"The previous food was always ineffective, but a few days ago, His Majesty took the prescription of the imperial physician, and the symptoms of hematemesis have been much less these days, but he still often falls asleep, but it is much better than sleeping for three or five days before." Yuan Xiang said, and when she turned around, her eyes fell on the small medicine pot held by the little palace maid, and she said gratefully, "These days, Miss Shi is looking for doctors everywhere, and Yuan Xiang has heard a little about it in the palace. It's a lot of hard work, it's just ...... Now His Majesty is taking the medicines of the Imperial Physician, and I am afraid that the properties of these medicines are unknown, and the slaves and maids are afraid that something will go wrong......"

Qiao'er was unconvinced: "How could something go wrong, the medicinal materials in here are very expensive, and it took a lot of effort, and even the pharmacy was specially entrusted by the young lady......"

"Qiao'er! Why are you talking so much today! Shi Luoxue was slightly stunned, only to feel upset by the noisy Qiao'er, turned around and said with a straight face, "Instead of letting you go in and annoy your brother, it's better for you to wait outside." ”

"Miss-how are you-" Qiao'er took a step forward with a bitter face, wanting to say something begging for mercy, but Shi Luoxue, who didn't want to be angry, turned around and continued to move forward, leaving Qiao'er standing pitifully in place.

Yuan Xiang was also a little surprised, looked at Shi Luoxue's back, waved her hand and beckoned a little palace maid to come over, and asked her to lead Qiao'er down to drink some hot tea, and after waiting for them in a sheltered place, she rushed to the front and led Shi Luoxue into Lian Li's room.

The little palace maid who was following behind with the medicine pot walked quickly past Qiao'er's side, bumped her shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at her obliquely, and then lowered her head and quickly caught up with Shi Luoxue and Yuanxiang, letting Qiao'er jump in anger behind her.

"Miss Shi doesn't have to be so angry, since it's a cold medicine, it's better to wait a while, and ask when Imperial Doctor Wang comes." Yuan Xiang suggested, Shi Luoxue listened reasonably, nodded, and said with a slight embarrassment: "This is a family secret recipe of acquaintances, and it must be a little helpful for my brother's illness." But since the imperial physician is coming, then I will catch up with my brother first, and it will not be too late to drink this medicine. ”

Yuan Xiang smiled and nodded, and led her across a threshold, and saw a little eunuch waiting outside the door of Lian Li's room from a distance. The little eunuch was holding the medicine with a bitter face, and he was so cold that he stomped his feet in the cold wind, but when he saw Yuanxiang at this time, he immediately lifted his spirits, and quickly greeted him from the door with a medicine plate and said happily:

"Ouch, Aunt Yuanxiang, you're back! As soon as you left for a while, His Majesty clamored to see you, and Grandpa Hou couldn't coax him...... I haven't drunk the medicine until the hour, the wind and snow are cooling quickly, and the slave is waiting for you hot, so go in......"

The little eunuch vomited bitter water like a cannonball, and Yuan Xiang reprimanded helplessly while walking briskly: "You stand in this tuyere and naturally cool quickly, the imperial doctor said that the effect of this medicine is hot, how can Your Majesty drink it after you have survived it twice?!" ”

The little eunuch suddenly smiled, and flatteringly beckoned people to come over and said, "The slave knows, the slave knows!" My aunt had taught her before, and the servant sent someone to grab two new pairs of medicines according to the prescription of the imperial doctor, and deliberately staggered the time to fry them, and they were all hot. Knowing that Your Majesty is thinking of Aunt Yuanxiang in your heart, I will wait for your Majesty to come back before drinking-"

The smile that Shi Luoxue had left on her face condensed slightly, slightly restrained the joy between her eyebrows, lowered her head, and looked at her embroidered shoes that had been splashed with a few black spots by snow and mud along the way, not knowing what she was thinking.

"This is—" The little eunuch finally noticed Shi Luoxue and asked with a respectful greeting, but his eyes secretly watched Yuanxiang's reaction.

Yuan Xiang reminded him: "It's the daughter of Lord Shi Hao's mansion, don't be lazy." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," the little eunuch smiled, raised his hand flatteringly and asked, "Girl, hurry inside, please be careful." ”

Shi Luoxue nodded and stood next to Yuanxiang, waiting for her to go in together. The person next to him got the news of the little eunuch, so he hurriedly brought the freshly fried soup, which was hot and bright.

"You're smart." Yuan Xiang looked at the soup color and temperature with satisfaction, took the medicine plate, and asked Shi Luoxue to go first, and followed two steps forward, but he heard the little eunuch behind him scold. Looking back, it turned out that the little palace maid with the medicine pot was stopped.

The little eunuch on duty obviously didn't notice that she came with Yuanxiang, she couldn't recognize the medicine, and thought that it was the person who was slow to get the new medicine before, so she immediately lowered her face and reprimanded in a low voice: "This medicine is cold and cold on such a cold day, and the hands and feet are not numb, and you dare to go to the upper end of the master's door, take a walk, something!" ”

He said it very quickly, like a bamboo tube pouring beads, and even pushed and hurried to let the little palace maid who didn't have long eyes go out quickly, but he didn't know that his actions had already made Shi Luoxue in front of him lose face.

Yuan Xiang frowned and reprimanded him, and the little eunuch realized that he had made a mistake, and made amends again and again, and got Shi Luoxue's permission, so he left in a hurry.

"They are all newcomers, Miss Shi may not have entered the palace for a long time, and she will teach those slaves who are not long-eyed." Yuanxiang apologized again.

Shi Luoxue shook her head, just said that it was okay, and said with a smile: "The closest person to Your Majesty in this palace is Sister Yuanxiang, as long as my sister knows who I am, I will be content." ”

Yuan Xiang didn't know what she was talking about at first glance, but she subconsciously smiled, lifted the warm curtain, and let her go in first. Before he lowered the curtain, he heard the little emperor inside shouting weakly with coquettish joy: "Yuanxiang! Where did you go? Why don't you come and warm my bed! I'm starving to death! ”
