Chapter 2 Imprisoned 1
The woman in Tsing Yi with a medicine cup in her hand walked in an extremely hurry.
The indescribable chill of the early winter morning is still there, and the heavy humidity in the Imperial Garden makes the air even colder. Even if you wear a cotton coat of rabbit down, you still can't help but tremble all over.
Qingluan hugged the still steaming medicine cup tightly, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Yesterday, when she learned that Concubine Xian was happy, the queen rushed to Fushou Palace overnight to ask for personal care of Concubine Xian. The Queen Mother was greatly admired, and also gave a few precious medicinal materials, which have a great effect on protecting the fetus and soothing the nerves. Qingluan was worried that the medicine would turn good things into bad things if they entered her hands, so she boiled it herself early in the morning, planning to feed Concubine Xian after she got up.
The Queen Mother was so happy last night that she couldn't stop praising Qin Suyue for having the demeanor of a mother, and at the same time promised not to let the emperor snub her because of this. With the queen mother's assurance, the thoughtful woman was in a good mood, and agreed to Qingluan's initiative without much consideration.
Although the emperor intended to let Concubine Xian move to Fushou Palace to live with the Queen Mother, due to her frail health and inconvenience, she had to continue to live in Xining Palace. Concubine Xian also said that she was afraid that serving too many people would disturb her leisure, so she only left a few capable people by her side. So several subordinates of Xining Palace were busy making a mess every day, and they couldn't leave for a moment. The Imperial Garden is still some distance away from Xining Palace, Qingluan is in a hurry, and his body is also a lot hotter, and gradually his muscles are stretched.
Just as he was about to walk out of Merlin, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a figure by the pond. It was still early, and Qingluan curiously brushed aside the messy branches, only to find that there was an unconscious palace maid lying on the stone slab. The crimson dancing girl skirt and the French style of the meteor bun are actually Qin'er who has not been seen for a few days.
Qingluan was shocked, thinking that something had happened to her, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but found that Qin'er was actually drunk. Not to mention the smell of wine on his body, he didn't know how many hours he fell to the ground in the cold world, and his body was like ice.
"Qin'er, wake up. This is the only way for the emperor to go through the court, you don't want to die! ”
After such a violent shaking, the drunken woman seemed to regain some consciousness, and barely snorted a few times in response with her eyes half-opened.
"Qin'er!" Seeing that she was still conscious, Qingluan stretched out her right hand to pat her cheek again, and it was okay not to pat, but this time the thinly dressed woman actually cried out, making Qingluan helpless.
"Girl...... It's a girl, you'......" She tugged at Qingluan's skirt tightly, tears welling up. "I, I ......"
Seeing her like this, Qingluan immediately knew that it was related to the incident of Chaofeng Palace that day. The woman who was smiling brightly a few days ago has now become like this, and she can't bear it in her heart. Qingluan understands that feeling, watching his most precious things being taken away by others, and wanting to redeem them is more than enough. She thought that dancing together could make up for Qin'er's sadness a little, but she didn't want the queen to refuse to give her even the opportunity to go on stage.
Qingluan only felt that he was like a sinner, a sinner who robbed people in front and didn't believe in his words.
"You get up first, I'll go and beg the queen mother, Qin'er, cheer yourself up."
"I have nothing left, dozens of days of hard work...... It didn't work. Qin'er couldn't cry in her arms, and no matter how much Qingluan pulled, she couldn't move. Unexpectedly, Qin'er's seemingly thin body was so powerful, seeing that the sun had risen, people gradually began to move around in the imperial garden, so Qingluan had to put down Qin'er first and turn around to find someone to help.
By the time the two little eunuchs came, the woman had already fallen asleep again. Qingluan was anxious to go to Xining Palace to deliver medicine, so after Haosheng instructed the two, he hurried to the place where Concubine Xian was.
The main hall has been decorated in the day when Concubine Xian was treated, and the two big red pillars in front of the door are particularly bright, carved dragon and jade, golden tile glaze, and the royal style is about to come out. The edge of the window is carefully outlined with gorgeous and complex dragon flying lines, taking the auspicious intention of giving birth to a real dragon. When Qingluan arrived, Yishuang was walking out with a basin of warm water, with a hint of tiredness on her face, and she looked like she hadn't slept all night.
"Sister."
was hesitating to call someone to report, and when he saw Yishuang, he hurriedly stopped. The woman saw that it was Qingluan, and a smile faintly appeared on her tired face. "If Miss Qingluan comes for Niangniang and goes straight in, Niangniang is grooming at this moment, and I have to adjust the water to just the right temperature."
Qingluan hurriedly thanked him, and as soon as he stepped into the house, he heard the concern through the wooden screen: "Yishuang, you go and rest, just ask others to do these jobs." ”
"Niangniang is auspicious, the slave Qingluan has seen Niangniang." The woman in green smiled calmly, it is indeed rare for a master to be so sympathetic to her subordinates as Concubine Xian. If she had been chosen by her instead of Concubine Chen, I am afraid that the current situation would be much better. Even if they are both subordinates, they will envy each other for the palace people who can serve their masters well, otherwise most of the sins created by the masters will also be repaid by their subordinates.
"Qingluan? Is it the palace maid of Chaofeng Palace that day? The voice was getting closer and closer, and it had been helped out of the screen. Concubine Xian's complexion has been carefully conditioned by the imperial doctor, and her ruddy cheeks are as bright and moving as a girl in early spring. "That ** saved Jin'er in this palace, this palace hasn't thanked you well. If you look so closely today, you are indeed a beautiful woman with a symbol. ”
"The mother praised it falsely. The slave maid came today to bring the fetal medicine specially selected by the queen mother for you, and the maid instructed the slave to be sure to deliver it to you in person. ”
"With the queen so concerned, this palace should really be flattered." Concubine Xian got up with a smile and motioned to the palace maid beside her to take the medicine cup, "Hurry up and move Miss Qingluan." ”
Before Qingluan could sit down, the door was abruptly slammed open. The person who came was the naughty county lord who almost fell off the eaves that day. It was probably the abruptness of the county lord's arrival, only to hear a loud noise, and the decoction in Concubine Xian's hand was poured on the ground, which shocked everyone to take a step back.
"It's the slave who didn't pay attention, and the slave and the maid deserve to die." The little palace maid standing at the table turned pale, and hurriedly confessed her guilt.
"Grandma, why are you so reckless!" Yishuang, who had just come back, saw the mess and immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull Jin'er over and asked a few people to clean it up simply.
"Yishuang, you first see if anyone is burned." Concubine Xian didn't care about sitting down, and hurriedly pointed to the little palace maid kneeling on the ground, "Don't kneel, go get some burn medicine." ”
"Why are you again!" The little county lord known as Jin'er squinted at Qingluan, looking unconvinced. was scolded by Concubine Xian only to know that he was a little more restrained, but he still muttered, "Every time I see you, I have to be scolded by my sister, broom star!" ”
Qingluan saw that although she and Concubine Xian were sisters, their temperament was very different. Although Jin'er is young, she shouldn't be at the age of right and wrong, so she can't help but sigh secretly when she thinks about it. But at the moment, she didn't care about comforting the county lord, she just looked at the medicinal soup that was spilled all over the ground, and her face was embarrassed.
Concubine Xian saw Qingluan's worries, and said softly: "It's okay, the imperial doctor will routinely come to check the palace for a while, just look at the medicine residue in your bowl and prepare a pair of medicines as usual, you have already delivered the queen's wishes, and there is no need to blame yourself." ”
