Chapter 313: Sleepiness
After Xia Nishang returned to Qifeng Palace, she took advantage of the fact that it was still early, and hurriedly squinted for a while before letting Er Lan and Ran Tian come in to serve her to change clothes and wash.
After a while, the internal and external wives are going to come over to say hello, and after such a toss, it will take a day for eight achievements. If you don't have a good energy, I'm afraid that your body and bones won't be able to stand it.
"Mother, why don't you wear this today." Er Lan held a long red dress with golden flowers and butterflies and placed it in front of Xia Nishang. Because she didn't rest well last night, Xia Nishang's face is still a little pale now, and it is better to wear some red to make her face look better.
Xia Nishang looked at the dress with a frown, feeling that it was too gorgeous. I just thought that this was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I couldn't bear it.
"That's it." Xia Nishang's slight jaw head was considered to agree with Er Lan's opinion.
Seeing this, Er Lan and Ran Tian looked at each other and smiled, and they stepped forward one after another to help Xia Nishang get busy.
It took more than half an hour before the makeup was finished.
Outside Qifeng Palace, there were already a lot of people sitting, Xia Nishang looked at the sun, and saw that it was not too early, so she held Er Lan's arm and walked out slowly.
In the main hall outside, it was full of people, and they had found acquaintances to sit together. Although they didn't dare to make loud noises, there were still some people who were silently talking to each other. The voice was not loud, as if it were a whisper.
These people, as soon as they saw Xia Nishang walking in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted one after another, not daring to have any slack.
Xia Nishang watched them kneel on the ground one by one according to their grades, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"Get up." Xia Nishang's voice was still a little hoarse, maybe it was because she didn't have a good rest.
After listening to Xia Nishang's words, everyone was blessed again, so they stood up one after another, found their seats, and sat down silently.
This is the first day of the Lunar New Year in the sixteenth year of Jiajing, not only the internal and external women will come to the palace to meet the queen, but the queen will also admonish these people. If it is fast, it will take two or three hours.
After all, Xia Nishang didn't have a good rest all night, and she was tired. Sitting on the phoenix chair above, listening to those people talking, it was only a moment of effort, and I felt that my eyelids were heavy, and I became more and more uncomfortable.
"Queen Mother, are you okay? But feeling unwell? Li Qingrong, who was sitting on the side, had sharp eyes, and after a while, she noticed Xia Nishang's strange appearance. It's just that, after all, there are still people talking at this time, and she can't be too public, so she can only whisper.
However, which of the foreign women who can enter the palace to meet is not a human tip? The most intelligent and clever, good at observing words and feelings. Although they all said flattering words to Xia Nishang and told their own experiences. But the eyes and thoughts still fell on Xia Nishang's body after all.
Now when he heard Li Qingrong speak, he stopped talking, and turned his head to Xia Nishang's side, all looking at her with nervous eyes.
Xia Nishang was slightly stunned, looking at the people below looking at her with the same expression, her heart was a little blocked.
Obviously, Li Qingrong didn't expect that she just said a word, which actually caused everyone to stop talking, and she was a little comfortable.
"It's okay in this palace." Xia Nishang shook her head lightly and said in a low voice. "The emperor was in a bad state last night, and the palace guarded him for one night, so he didn't rest well."
Xia Nishang thought that last night, Ruiyu Hall passed all the doctors from the Tai Hospital, and it was impossible for the queen and the palace not to know about such a big thing. Since you have to know sooner or later, it is better to say it from your own mouth, so as not to let some people think wildly or take advantage of loopholes.
Hearing Xia Nishang say that the emperor's health is not good, those foreign women are normal, but the concubine master in the palace all looked panicked, looking at Xia Nishang anxiously, and her face couldn't help but be dyed with a layer of worry.
Xia Nishang looked at their appearance and couldn't help but sneer, they were really a bunch of stupid people. Leng Yexuan is a ruthless and heartless person, no matter how hard they try, it will be in vain after all.
"The emperor is already in good health, don't worry." Xia Nishang looked around at the people present before speaking. "However, the imperial doctor instructed the emperor to recuperate now, and if there is nothing serious, don't disturb the emperor."
This is to warn the people in the palace that the emperor is not in good health now, don't trouble the emperor for your little things. Otherwise, if she knows, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat and walk around.
The people in the queen and the palace all knew Xia Nishang's thunderous methods, so they naturally nodded yes one after another, indicating that they did not dare to disturb the emperor's rest at this time.
Xia Nishang looked at their duplicitous appearances, and knew that these people were just afraid of her methods, so she didn't say anything more, just waiting for someone to make a plan if someone did the first bird.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the women of the Inner and Outer Orders come to see each other, if the queen is in a good mood, most of them will give a banquet. It's just that today, those people saw that Xia Nisheng's health was not good, and their faces became more and more tired, so they all stopped thinking about it.
Li Qingrong quietly beckoned Er Lan over and asked her to follow Xia Nishang and say that if there was nothing to do, she would disperse earlier, so that she could rest.
Xia Nishang thought about it and felt that Li Qingrong's words were really reasonable, so she didn't say anything.
But after a while, he asked those palace concubines and foreign wives to go back with a little apology.
Even so, it had been three hours since those women came in. Xia Nishang's body has long been a little unbearable, where can she still persevere.
When they all left, they went straight back to the house, told Er Lan not to call himself if he had nothing to do, and then fell asleep with his head covered.
This night, Xia Nishang slept very comfortably, as if she had slept all the sleep of her life.
When Xia Nishang opened her eyes again, it was already the beginning of the lights, and the bright palace lights outside were actually shining on her, giving her a headache.
"Erlan, Erlan." Xia Nishang's voice became more and more hoarse, and she actually called a few times in a row before she made a sound.
She only felt that her body was sore now, and where did she have the strength to sit up, she could only lie on the bed, hoping that Er Lan could hear her voice.
In fact, if Xia Nishang can get up, she will find out. Because Er Lan was worried about her, she never left, so she sat on the big kang next to her, waiting for Xia Nishang's orders.
Although Xia Nishang's voice is small now, Er Lan can still hear it clearly in the quiet room. She hurriedly stepped forward and gently helped Xia Nishang up.
"It's so late? The palace actually slept for four or five hours? Xia Nishang said with a frown. She remembered that when she got them all away, it was just past noon, but now she looked at the sky outside, as if it was already midday.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, mocking my body for getting worse and worse. It's just that I didn't get a good night's sleep, and it dragged on for so long.
However, before Xia Nishang finished speaking, she saw Er Lan covering her lips and smiling softly.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Xia Nishang was very puzzled, pointed to her face, and asked.
"Queen Mother, where have you slept for four or five hours, you have slept for a day, and now it is the third day of the Lunar New Year." Er Lan took a large sapphire blue pillow covered in gold and leaned on Xia Nishang's back, so that she could lie down more comfortably.
When Xia Nishang just fell asleep, Er Lan felt worried, especially when she didn't see any signs of Xia Nishang waking up at night, she was worried for a while.
Hurriedly asked people to send the imperial doctor over. As a result, the imperial doctor just said that the queen mother was overtired, and she just had a good rest, Er Lan and Ran Tian, this is the heart that fell to the ground.
Xia Nishang listened to Er Lan's words, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at her in a daze.
"Hongu has slept for so long? No wonder I feel dizzy. Xia Nishang smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that she was really becoming more and more hypocritical.
"The slave maid let people simmer porridge all the time, why don't you bring it to the mother to taste? You haven't eaten for two days, how can this body stand it? Er Lan joked with Xia Nishang, and said with a worried face.
Although the imperial doctor said that there was no big deal, but this person has not eaten, how can he stand it? is to keep instructing the small kitchen to prepare Xia Nishang's favorite meals, so that as soon as she wakes up, she will have something to eat and not go hungry.
Xia Nishang didn't feel anything, but when she heard Er Lan say this, she really felt a little hungry, so she said with a smile.
"In that case, you go and get it. Also, let's get some pickles. Xia Nishang smacked her mouth, I don't know if it was because she had just woken up, she always felt bitter in her mouth, and wanted to eat something with taste.
"It's all ready, Niangniang, you lie down for a while, and the slave will come when she goes." Er Lan settled Xia Nishang, then left in a hurry and went to the small kitchen to feed Xia Nishang Zhang Luo.
After a while, the fine japonica rice porridge was served together with small pumpkin, lotus root, and red dates. There are also pickled cucumbers, Xia Nishang's favorite food.
It can be seen that Er Lan has really prepared it a long time ago, and the porridge is also thick, so it must have taken a lot of time, but just looking at it makes people feel appetizing.
