Xu Yunhua looked out and said with a smile, "It's not early, it's almost noon, the emperor and the noble concubine might as well stay for a light meal, but the concubine has prepared good wine and good food today." ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Why do you have to prepare good wine and food?" I remember you weren't a good drinker. ”

A burst of sadness flashed on Xu Yunhua's face, and he said with a smile, "Today's concubine's courtyard flew into the magpie early in the morning, and the concubine thought that the emperor Xu was coming today, so she prepared wine and food. As soon as Xu Yunhua finished speaking, Zhu Di's face was a little concerned, as if moved, and he held Xu Yunhua's hand, "I am busy with political affairs, and I have been in the harem less recently, and the queen has to appease the concubines more." ”

Xu Yunhua smiled gracefully, "The sisters are very righteous, knowing that the emperor is entangled in cases, only when chatting with the concubines, let the concubines tell the emperor to take care of their bodies, and there are no complaints." After speaking, she glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, I didn't say anything, knowing that she was sarcastic about Zhu Di having the most in my palace, blaming me for not being considerate of the well-being of the Holy Body.

"Your Majesty, you don't know, Niangniang said that the magpie is here today, so she will prepare wine and food and wait for the emperor, in the past, a butterfly flew in, a grasshopper came in, or when the weather is refreshing, you have to tell the slaves and maids to prepare some favorite wine and food, in case the emperor comes over one day and can't eat delicious food." A clever little maid beside Xu Yunhua brought a cup of tea, handed it to Zhu Di, and said deftly.

Zhu Di glanced at her and said, "Is the queen often like this?" ”

The little maid said, "Yes, the biggest thing that Niangniang does every day is to stand at the door and look out, sometimes when she wakes up during a lunch break, the first thing is to ask the emperor if he has come." ”

Zhu Di looked at Xu Yunhua with a smile, "Really?" I often come to Kunning Palace, how do I feel like I haven't been here for a few years? ”

The little girl answered, "How can a woman not want to be sticky with her husband every day, although the queen is dignified and generous, and her mother is not exempt from vulgarity." ”

Xu Yunhua scolded, "Caiyue! In front of the master, who allows you to talk so much? I spoiled you on weekdays, and I had to be presumptuous in front of the emperor! ”

This girl named Caiyue was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, "The slave should die, the slave should die!" ”

Zhu Di waved his hand, "That's it, why should the queen be angry about this little thing?" I look at this girl is very clever, I think I have relieved you a lot of boredom on weekdays, you scolded her a few times, she restrained, look at who will still talk to you in the future. Xu Yunhua thought about it, smiled, and smiled at Caiyue on the ground, "Thank you not much, Your Majesty!" ”

Caiyue hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Di, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

"Go down, talk more here, call Baoyun, that girl is just the opposite of you, three sticks can't make half a word."

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "Honesty has the benefits of being honest, and cleverness also has the benefits of having a spirit." Xu Yunhua nodded, suddenly glanced at me, and said, "The concubine has moved to the new palace since the canonization, I have always said that I want to call a few people over, but the concubine always shirks on the grounds that she is not willing to be extravagant, since the emperor said that Caiyue is good, it is better to let Caiyue go to Lianyi Palace to help first." The girl's mouth is faster, but she doesn't play right and wrong, and her hands and feet are neat and the needle and thread are good, and the rough work in the past is excellent. Besides, Concubine Lian is young, and she shouldn't be like me here, like a quagmire and deep water, which restricts their liveliness. ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "How can this be, you said that there are few people in Concubine Lian's palace, and there are not many people here, you are both thrifty people, you have a powerful girl here, what if you can't be called?" ”

Xu Yunhua patted Zhu Di's hand and said with a smile, "Isn't the concubine going to be in charge of the Six Palaces again?" Take your time to pick two more. It's hard to find this ready-made good girl. Concubine Lian's body is also thin, and Caiyue's girl has another benefit that can't be said, that is, she is especially good at eating, so let her make some supplements for Concubine Lian and nourish her body. ”

Zhu Di glanced at me, he seemed to be very satisfied with the girl named Caiyue, I had to stand up and say, "Given by Niangniang, I dare not resign, but Caiyue is so top-notch, I took it away, I am afraid that Niangniang will be like losing her right hand." ”

Xu Yunhua smiled proudly, "I am a big country, and there are still a lot of capable people, so if a girl leaves, I won't be able to wield it." ”

I was choked like this, and I didn't say anything, I just smiled awkwardly, "That concubine will snatch her love with a knife, the people in Niangniang's palace, go to me, I definitely don't dare to ask her to do rough work, she must be arranged inside, and she will be the same as Bao'er Zhu'er." ”

Xu Yunhua pursed his lips and smiled, "It's all your people, you can send it how you like." ”

This matter was revealed, Zhu Di and I really stayed in Xu Yunhua's palace for lunch, judging from the exquisite dishes, Xu Yunhua had already prepared, she gently and skillfully inserted a live eyeliner to my side, and also did enough drama in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Di must be very moved by her good intentions at this time, and in the future, Kunning Palace will definitely come and go often.

"Your Majesty, your favorite mutton soup when you were in Beiping, the concubine let the kitchen stew for a day and a night, can you taste it?" Xu Yunhua personally scooped a bowl of soup for Zhu Di and sent it to Zhu Di, Zhu Di took a sip and said with a smile, "After boiling for so long, it doesn't taste good, this sheep is just like Genghis Khan that day, wearing iron armor." ”

Everyone laughed at this sentence, this meal, on the surface, was quite happy, and Xu Yunhua's attitude has completely changed from the decadence of the past. I looked at her and thought only about one thing, wondering if she was also tired and wore a mask every day.

For the next few days, Zhu Di stayed in Kunning Palace. Caiyue came to my palace, her hands and feet were diligent, she was kind, and she also got along with Bao'er Zhu'er on the surface. It's just that I myself am about to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I am always a little wary of her, and I have observed for a few days in a row, but I have not found anything, so I have relaxed, and I always feel guilty in my heart, and I feel that I should not suspect others.

Mr. Hou in order to find medicine for me, out of the west did not return, I now take the medicine is gone, is hesitant, Li Xing came to report, said that there is a person who calls himself Hu Xian asked to see Niangniang, I listened, and promised again and again, "Bring him in, this is Mr. Hou's apprentice, come to give me medicine." ”

When Li Xing heard this, he went out and brought the man in, only to see that it was a jade-faced boy, who looked white and clean, his hair was neatly combed to the back of his head, he was tall and big, but he looked like a gentleman, but I don't know if it was because he was a little timid when he entered and exited the palace for the first time, which caused the expression on his face to be a little stiff. He was dressed in a white robe, made of fine satin, which at first glance was not mundane, and it was very different from the casual appearance of his master. It can be seen that it is not Mr. Hou's apprentice.

"How long have you been at your sir's door?" I asked Hu Xian.

"Back to Niangniang, I'm not afraid of Niangniang's jokes, it's only been more than two months since Xiaosheng worshiped under the master's door." Hu Xian replied politely.

I smiled, "Then you must be good at Qihuang Technique, Mr. Hou is not a person who likes to accept apprentices, you are almost his closed disciple, presumably excellent medical skills." ”

Hu Xian hurriedly said humbly, "Niangniang praised it falsely, Xiaosheng just learned some knowledge of herbal medicine from the clansmen since he was a child, and because he was addicted to this way, he delayed his studies, and the old father and mother broke their hearts for Xiaosheng, and they didn't blink their eyes until they died." ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Seeing what you're wearing, the home should be good." ”

Hu Xian smiled, "It's just a well-off family, not wealthy." ”

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, I stopped asking, "Have you brought any new medicines?" ”

"I've brought them all." Hu Xian put down a quaint rattan basket on his shoulder, poured it on the ground, and on the ground was several bags of medicine bags packed with oil paper, the smell rushed up, some salty, some fishy, mixed with some indescribable foreign fragrance and medicinal fragrance, in short, it made people dizzy, seeing me frowning, Hu Xian smiled, "These are Xiaosheng under the master's orders these days, and there is a taste of medicine, I am afraid that it will be boiled in the Niangniang Palace, because this medicine has a strange place." ”

"What's the odd thing?" Seeing that Hu Xian was talking the truth, I couldn't help but ask.

"This flavor medicine is not for eating, please ask the mother to find a closed room, close the doors and windows, bathe in wide clothes, and then boil this flavor medicine, so that the medicine in the medicine can be smoked into the pores of the mother little by little. In this way, the rest of the medicine can be taken to have an effect. ”

"Yo! It's amazing, I've grown so big and heard such a strange prescription for the first time. Caiyue was holding a pot of good tea, ready to pour tea for Hu Xian, and when she heard Hu Xian say these words to me, she interjected. She has always been cooing non-stop, at first Bao'er Zhu'er was also very defensive of her, but later saw that she was young, lively and cute, and gradually took care of her.

I frowned, and glanced at Bao'er who came in, secretly blamed her for not having eyesight, Caiyue looked innocent again, after all, she didn't follow me for a long time, I made up for pregnancy, except for Zhu Di, no one else knew. It's not like everyone hears the news.

Bao'er knew what I meant, her face was embarrassed, she shook her hand at me, and said to Caiyue, "Caiyue, your sister Zhu'er is looking for you to look for tricks outside, why do you have such long legs and jumped here?" ”

Caiyue turned around and smiled brightly, and said, "I thought that I hadn't come in for a long time to bring tea to Niangniang, and the last pot of tea should be cold, so I came in and sent a new pot of tea to Niangniang, but I didn't expect there to be outsiders here." It's all anecdotes, it's all medicine on the ground, is my mother sick? ”

Bao'er pulled her, "Get out quickly, it's not done, just play." Niangniang was guarding the emperor on the battlefield back then, and was seriously injured, and has not healed yet, so she called the doctor to take a look. ”<
