The morning light is faint and the weather is warmer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a few busy days, the palace finally returned to calm for the time being. After a few days of bright sunshine, the pothos hung on the high palace wall of the Bright Wei Palace was more deep and green, and the rose stand in the corner of the wall actually contained pale pink and soft white buds, swaying in the spring breeze.
Murong Wei remembered her aunt's illness, and took advantage of the good weather to take a trip to King An's mansion.
said that with her mother, her aunt had a cough disease, and Queen Chu was naturally full of concern. It's just that the harem is busy, she really has no skills, and she is still angry.
The day before yesterday, Aunt Qin came to report that a little eunuch with unclean hands and feet was caught in the palace, and there was a new embroidery pattern from the Shang Palace Bureau hidden in his arms, and he wanted to mix it in the clothes sent to the Huanyi Bureau and take it out to sell it privately.
Aunt Qin didn't make trouble on the spot, and arranged for someone to follow the little eunuch, seeing him slip out of the palace gate, familiar with the way and turn to the cool teahouse in the capital, it seemed that he had made an appointment with someone, and he couldn't see it.
At dusk, the little eunuch was afraid that he would miss the time to return to the palace, so he didn't dare to wait any longer, so he had to sneak back to the palace quietly with embroidery.
I pulled a long line and didn't catch a big fish. Aunt Qin was afraid that the news would leak out, so she directly sent the person to the Shen Criminal Division.
It turned out to be an ordinary resale of embroidery, but it didn't make Queen Chu care much. The next day, the Criminal Division came to report that the little eunuch had medicine hidden under his tongue, and when he saw that he couldn't get involved in the interrogation, he directly chose to commit suicide by taking poison.
After the sand table of Rentai Palace, Queen Chu now does not let go of any clues. She suspected that she was an informant from the previous dynasty, and ordered her to first find out whose subordinate the little eunuch was, pull the silk thread along the vine and touch the melon, and then find someone to carefully search his house to see what she could find.
was waiting for Aunt Qin to reply, and when she saw Murong Wei coming to ask for peace, she said that she was going to take her sister to the palace to visit the patient, so she agreed. Accepting the fierce look in Fang Cai's eyes, he gently stroked his daughter's sideburns, and instructed Banxia to prepare the best tonic items and give them to the two sisters.
Chu Zhaohui was fine, but he was depressed in his heart, so he lay down for a few more days.
Wen Wan was busy with the affairs of the poetry meeting, and she couldn't rest assured that her stepmother's body was in good spirits, so she came to visit the patient first, and also took the dietary therapy prescription copied from the Tai Hospital, and talked with her for a long time, which made Chu Zhaohui feel a lot better.
After taking a few medicines, and the side concubine Xin Yi copied the recipe according to Wen Wan, **** used Sydney pear after autumn, plus Chuanbei, Poria cocos, and rock sugar to make sugar water to nourish, cough is good, but heart disease is difficult to treat.
Hearing that the two nieces were coming together, Chu Zhaohui sat up from the couch and looked at the two with a smile: "Auntie is an old problem, it's hard to run for you, this house is full of medicine, let your cousin play in the garden after a little sitting." ”
Considering Chu Zhaohui's body, the windows in the room were only half-open, and there was a slight cool breeze. There is a soft sunlight coming in, and I light the clear agarwood incense, which is still slightly medicative.
The earth dragon is still burning, and the room is as warm as spring.
The two sisters untied their cloaks, revealing light spring clothes, but Chu Zhaohui wore a slightly thicker silk satin jacket with a moon white background entwined with chrysanthemums, revealing a horse-faced skirt with peacock orchid inlaid silver trim underneath.
Seeing that the flower stand of Huanghuali in the past was now bare, and even Chu Zhaohui's favorite emerald peony was not there, Murong Wei opened her mouth and asked, "Aunt has few flowers in the room on weekdays, why don't you have a pot today?"
Mingzhu leaned on Chu Zhaohui's waist with a large pillow with three colors, Chu Zhaohui looked demure and relaxed, and explained to Murong Wei with a smile: "Now that I drink medicine in ****, the flowers are delicate, and I am afraid that I will be smoked by the medicine, so my aunt ordered everyone to move to the flower room." ”
Murong Wei sat in front of the couch, holding her aunt's pale hand, and her eyes swept over the thin wrist at the bottom of her sleeve. The jade bracelet of the right size in the past is now worn on Chu Zhaohui's wrist, and it looks more and more skinny.
Murong Wei felt uncomfortable in her heart, and reluctantly smiled: "Auntie, this is an obsession with flowers, and I have never heard of the saying that I am afraid of the abrupt fragrance of medicine, only the fragrance of flowers can remove the smell of medicine." I still moved a few pots over, and my aunt **** looked at it and laughed, and she was getting better soon. ”
Chu Zhaohui was not afraid that the medicine would smoke the flowers, but when he saw the flowers blooming, he remembered that he was desolate now. The flowers were hurt, and they were even more sad, so they ordered people to move out.
Hearing Murong Wei say this, it was inconvenient to brush her kindness, and said to Mingzhu: "Just listen to the eldest princess, go to the flower room and pick two pots of white narcissus to come over, and go to the sick in the house." ”
Mingzhu agreed, lifted the curtain and came out to command. Listening to the few parrots and golden-threaded finches raised under the corridor, he was afraid that Chu Zhaohui would be annoyed, so he ordered people to hang farther away.
It has been a few days since her husband passed away, but Chu Zhaohui is used to dressing like this, and she still uses white and no fat powder. just replaced the dazzling plain white, and wore the moon white, which was her husband's favorite in the past.
Qingming folds chrysanthemums and sends relatives remotely. Murong Wei knew such a custom, and looking at the chrysanthemum patterns on her aunt's body, she only felt that the vicissitudes of the moon white were more dazzling than the faint vermilion on Chinese New Year's Eve. She doesn't persuade people, she just gently puts her head in her aunt's arms.
Murong Hui also loved her aunt, she blinked her sparkling eyes, and her eyes were red before she could speak. Afraid that my aunt would see it, she turned her head and pretended to be naughty, and said with a smile: "I haven't been to my aunt's flower room for a long time, so I'll go with them to see what good flowers are blooming." ”
Hurriedly stepping out of the room, seeing that the person ordered by Mingzhu had not gone far, Murong Hui hurriedly drank and wiped the red circles under his eyes with a handkerchief before ordering someone to lead the way.
Concubine Xin Yi grasped the time, and when the pear juice was boiled in the kitchen, she brewed it into the jar with her own hands, mixed the boiled pear with loquat paste, and put it in a small cup of plain porcelain gold thread, and went to Chu Zhaohui to ask for peace.
When she entered the courtyard, Xin Yi saw tassels and agarwood standing at the door from a distance, and knew that the two princesses were coming.
Xin Yi stood under the silhouette and asked Mingzhu to be the messenger. After waiting for a while, a little girl came out and opened the curtain, saying that Mrs. invited her in.
Xin Yi put down the things in her hand, saluted Murong Wei respectfully, and then greeted Chu Zhaohui, her modest smile revealed softness and humility.
In her previous life, she had a vague impression of these two side concubines, and thinking that she chose one to come over to serve her aunt when she was there, Murong Wei's expression was reserved and indifferent, and she only hummed coldly.
When it came to Chu Zhaohui, the smile on his face was soft, and he found Xin Yi under the steps. Instructed her to bring the pear over, first took a silver spoon with a light blue rose tattooed on it and dug a few spoonfuls, and drank a cup of hot pear juice before saying to Murong Wei: "The recipe that your sister Wan copied, Mu Han was careless, thanks to Concubine Xin's daily thoughts, it was sent to her aunt's room at this hour." ”
Chu Zhaohui is also Bingxue smart, and Murong Wei has never concealed the disgust on her face, so that she is afraid that she will wronged Xin Yi's heart.
The expression on Murong Wei's face softened a little at this time, and she opened her mouth shallowly, still with a condescending tone: "Concubine Xin carefully serves her aunt's illness, and she should be rewarded for her good life." (To be continued.) )
