In mid-June, it's the hottest time of the year, and the scorching heat of the day makes you feel like you're in a steamer. Comfort parrot

It is said that if he accidentally suffered a heat stroke, although he took the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, the heat was dissipated, but he still had no appetite, lying on the bed with a smile, and people were getting haggard day by day, because of the busy government affairs in the past few days, Murong Yichuan had few times in Zhaoyang Palace, only Zi Yan and Chu Qianqian and Chunhong often entered the palace to accompany Wanruo, which can be regarded as a comfort.

This day is a little cooler, as if lying on the bamboo bed under the north window, while enjoying the coolness while holding a book to pass the morning light, listening to the palace maid come in to report that Cao Jieyu came to ask for peace, as if lazily said that she wanted her to come in, since she was sick, Cao Jieyu was very diligent, and she wanted to come to greet her three times a day, as if she was very moved, and Pan Guiren had never stepped into the Sun Moon Xuan half a step except for the daily necessary invitation, she didn't come, as if she didn't want to see Pan's frivolity.

After a while, the palace maid led the Cao family to Wanruo, and the Cao family's maidservant Liuli followed closely behind, holding an emerald green tray in her hand, and there were a few bulging things wrapped in lotus leaves in the tray.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the mother is happy for a long time." Cao Shi came close and hurried as if saluting.

Wan Wan Chunxiang helped herself up from the bed, sat on the railing, and reluctantly squeezed out a faint smile at Cao's, "Sister doesn't have to be polite, please sit down." The palace maid moved a chair with the Cao family, and another palace maid served tea.

Cao Shi took the tray from Liuli's hand and got up and said to Wanruo; "The concubine knows that the concubine has a poor appetite for several days, and today the concubine specially made hawthorn cake for the concubine, this hawthorn can be appetizing, I hope the concubine will not think that the concubine can fulfill this intention."

Cao's wrapped each piece of hawthorn cake in fresh lotus leaves, and the green and fresh look was soothing.

It's like a way; "It's hard for my sister to work hard, I used to send Chunxiang to buy hawthorn cakes on the street outside the palace to eat, but now after entering the palace, there are fewer opportunities to eat, does my sister want me to satisfy my cravings." Cao Shi hurriedly took a piece of hawthorn cake and sent it to Wanruo.

It seems to carefully tear open the lotus leaf wrapped in hawthorn cake, inside is a palm-sized boxy hawthorn cake, put it on the tip of the nose and smell both the sour taste of hawthorn and the faint fragrance of lotus leaves, as if taking a bite of the taste of chewing carefully, and then nodding incessantly, "My sister's hawthorn cake is very good in the town, more than what I ate on the street in the palace in the past, sweet and sour average, just right, is my sister elegant, but also used lotus leaves to wrap, even if there are a lot of hawthorn cakes in it, even if this lotus leaf is to be looked at, it is also comfortable." ”

Seeing that he liked his heart, Cao's face showed a look of relief, "As long as Niangniang feels that she likes the concubine, she will be relieved, and Niangniang's body will get better soon, otherwise she will miss the lotus flowers in the rain lotus pond." ”

It's like asking if the lotus flowers are blooming?

Cao's Road; "The white lotus has bloomed there, how about the mother remember the concubine to pick some and put them in a bottle to watch?"

Seeing that Cao Shi was so bothered about himself, he seemed to be very unhappy, and said again and again that there was no need to trouble my sister, and I would send the palace maid to it for a while, and my sister had taken a lot of effort since I was sick, and I really didn't know how to repay this love.

Before Cao's answer, his maidservant Liuli hurriedly said that if the lady really feels sorry for our young lady, please say a few words for the young lady in front of the emperor, our young lady is kind-hearted, although her status is higher than that of Pan Guiren, but Pan Guiren is favored and does not take our young lady Jieyu in her eyes at all.

Waiting for Liuli to say, Cao hurriedly reprimanded; "Without further ado, get out of here."

Liuli pouted and quietly stepped aside.

Cao's kneeling down for Liuli to plead guilty, "Niangniang must not take Liuli's words seriously, the concubine doesn't mean that, I just hope that Niangniang can be healthy." ”

As if her face was no longer as natural as she had just now, she was still a little suspicious of Cao's intentions towards her.

It was as if handing the unfinished hawthorn cake to Chunxiang, and then lay down again and lazily said to Cao Shi I am a little tired and want to Xiao for a while, sister, please go back first. Cao Shi knew that if he was talking too much, it would not be good, so he obediently left Sun Moon Xuan with Liuli.

After returning to the Purple Spring Palace, the Cao family called Liuli to him and reprimanded, "You are good and dignified, you have to talk a lot, the queen mother is a sensitive and suspicious person, but your words are in vain." ”

Liuli Road; "What people say is the truth, before the lady entered the palace, the lady told the slave maid to serve the lady well, since the lady can't open her mouth to tell the queen what is on her mind, then let the slave and maid do it for her. Miss has been running back to Sun Moon Xuan several times a day these days, if the queen has always refused to compete for the favor of the young lady, why should the young lady come and go, it is better to stammer with the female officials around the emperor in early summer, I heard that the emperor is also very fond of early summer. ”

Cao's face sank slightly, and said coldly You are so confused, Liuli, you should remember that I told you the story of Ban Jieyu when Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, that Ban Jieyu chose to serve the queen mother in Changxin Palace, do you think she is really what people call virtuous and virtuous, in fact, she is Mingzhe to protect herself, at that time, Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede sisters were favored, and the two sisters were ruthless, cruel to the concubines, Ban Jieyu only found a backer that the two sisters had no choice but to protect her, the queen mother has always had a good impression of Ban Jieyu, That class of Jieyu and the queen mother can not help anyone, she came to ensure that she was not persecuted, and secondly, she won the good reputation of the virtuous concubine.

Liuli blinked, looked at Cao's and asked Miss softly, but you want to learn from Jieyu?

Cao Shi smiled slightly, "Today's emperor is young and vigorous, although I am not as good as Pan Saihua, but I may not be inferior elsewhere, the emperor is just a fresh moment to Pan Saihua, and there is not much true affection at all, and the young and beautiful concubines in the harem are not Pan or me, and when the emperor's fresh energy for Pan Saihua passes, I will naturally be remembered by the emperor, I often go in and out of Zhaoyang Palace, and it is difficult for the emperor to forget me." Although the emperor has a deep affection for the queen, he is the emperor after all, which emperor is not a harem concubine, Tang Taizong loves the eldest grandson queen all his life, but she is also beautiful like a cloud. Good hair is not afraid of late, you have to learn to be patient, the night is suitable and waiting, only after the long night will usher in the dawn of light. ”
