Concubine De looked at the orchid who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "What the hell is going on?" Let's hear about it. ”

Orchid fell to her knees, her face pale and trembling.

Early this morning, she went to deliver clothes, and met a few tigers on the way. Huzi and her entered the palace in the same year, and the other people were also familiar with each other, so everyone chatted a few words. At first, it seemed to be saying that there was a great drought, but Huzi said with a smile, this day is too hot, water is expensive, and if you can change your clothes, you won't change them, save some water. Then I don't know who said that this day is a big drought, and it is terrible to go on like this. Then the tiger interface said something: "There is a great drought, and the year is not good for ......" or something.

At this, she reflexively covered her mouth and her eyes widened in horror.

At that time, a few people surrounded them and took them away.

Later, she learned that those people turned out to be from the Internal Criminal Division. Several people together all identified Huzi. Huzi was immediately pulled out of her tongue, and she screamed in fright and fainted.

When he woke up, he found that the two little eunuchs had been beaten all over their bodies and were not human.

She was scared half to death, and when she was desperate, someone came to take her out, it was Anshun's father-in-law of Zhongtai Palace.

After hearing this, Concubine De was silent for a long time, waved her hand and asked Ping'er to take the orchid down, and picked up a pair of socks placed on the side of the couch and embroidered them.

After a while, Ping'er came in, and Concubine De asked lightly: "Can you settle down?" ”

Ping'er: "Yes! He knelt down instead: "Thank you Niangniang!" ”

Concubine De: "Get up and mention more in the future!" ”

Ping'er nodded and said, "The slave is saved, Orchid is a good learner this time." The other slaves and maids have also mentioned it. ”

Concubine De sighed, "It's not all her to blame. ”

As he spoke, he put down his socks and leaned back on the couch tiredly. Ping'er hurriedly handed over a large pillow, pulled the blanket on the side, and covered it on his legs.

Concubine De slowly closed her eyes, Ping'er gently retreated, closed the door lightly, and she glanced at Concubine De gratefully.

Orchid is her aunt and cousin, and she was assigned to Yaohua Palace after she begged Concubine De. It's only been more than a year since she entered the palace, and she is naïve and ignorant of the world, so she usually relies on her to take care of her. I didn't expect such a big arsenic leak this time.

She also has no way, Concubine De is gentle and has never been prominent, and since the accident of the eldest prince, she has been even more low-key. I didn't expect this time for the orchid......

The drought has become more severe, and in many places hungry people are fighting for water, and some hungry people have crowded to the city gates to try to enter the city.

Emperor Cheng was worried, and the officials were helpless.

Empress Dowager Chen invited herself to Xihua Mountain to pray for blessings and rain. Emperor Cheng immediately agreed. When the queen mother travels, she needs to be accompanied by a harem concubine.

The queen summoned the concubines in the harem and asked who was willing to go, and asked twice in a row, but no one answered.

The queen sighed and patrolled again, wanting to wait for someone directly, but Concubine De spoke up and said that she was willing to go.

The queen was pleased, and looked at Concubine De's gentle gaze: "There is Sister Lao." As soon as the words changed, he looked at the concubines and concubines, and his eyes were sharp: "Sister, who can you think of with you?" ”

Concubine De glanced at the concubines who didn't dare to look at her and smiled.

Suddenly, I found that a person was staring blankly at the pillar, and when he saw his gaze looking over, he didn't avoid it. Seems to smile.

She was surprised, and when she looked at it, it seemed to be a new Gu Meiren.

She stretched out her hand and said softly, "That's it!" ”

Xin Yan was wandering outside the world, and Fan Meiren pulled off her sleeve before she came back to her senses. "Ahh

Everyone was in a very good mood because they didn't have to worry about going to Xihua Mountain, and they all laughed and joked about Xinyan, Xinyan smiled awkwardly, but secretly complained in her heart: "Why did you pick yourself?" ”

Because I had to leave early tomorrow morning, I took the time to go to Fu Fangfei at noon.

Chuan Fangfei didn't go this morning because she had a big belly and had already waived the routine greetings. At first glance, I heard Xinyan say that she was going to Xihua Mountain, and she was surprised: "Why did you pick you so suddenly?" ”

Empress Dowager Chen is not Emperor Cheng's biological mother, and she should have gone to worship the heavens and pray for blessings. But Empress Dowager Liu was in slightly ill health, and Empress Dowager Chen volunteered to take on the matter.

This is obviously a chore, the mountain is clear, and it is a prayer for blessings, and it is necessary to fast, and the return date is uncertain.

Xinyan made a bitter face and said, "I don't know either!" ”

Xinyan returned to the room to pack her bags, thinking about it, she went to plain clothes and simple clothes, only picked up the plain clothes, and packed two boxes.

When I was about to go out, I checked it again, thought about it, took off the jade bracelet I had been wearing on my hand, and accepted it. I changed into a sandalwood bracelet in the box, looked in the mirror again, and then went out.

This time, only Huancui and another little palace maid were brought to go, and An Qin stayed to take care of the house. Huancui was very excited, she didn't sleep all night, and she got up early and had green eyes.

Concubine De has arrived, and she is also dressed in plain silk, with a jade bracelet on her hand, and no extra ornaments.

Xinyan stepped forward to see it, she looked at Xinyan approvingly, and said, "Sister Gu's dress is very refreshing, and she looks like she has Buddha nature." ”

Xinyan smiled and said, "Niangniang is a person like Guanyin." What a shame for concubines! ”

Concubine De smiled and said nothing, her eyes turned, and she suddenly saw the wooden bracelet in Xinyan's hand, and said strangely: "This bracelet is very chic, it is carved from wood?" took Xinyan's hand, smelled a faint sandalwood fragrance, looked at it carefully, and said, "Very good!" ”

His eyes were aimed at the Queen Mother in front of her, and she let go of Xinyan one by one and got into the car.

Xinyan also got into the back car.

It is a half-day drive to Xihua Mountain, and there are groups of hungry people from time to time along the way. For the sake of the safety of the Queen Mother, there was already a team of guards in front of the road first, and this time after the turn, the convoy began to set off, and the second team of iron cavalry and silver armor guards escorted behind.

The car swirled out of the Dongzhi Gate and galloped towards the city gate. Xinyan sat in the car, couldn't see the outside, and estimated that she got out of the city gate, the carriage was not fast, the road was uneven, and her butt hurt.

Huancui put two layers of mats underneath, still panicking. She stole out the window and saw a desolation, a large cloud of dust kicked up where the convoy passed.

Xinyan hurriedly lowered the curtain, but still ate a mouthful of ash.

Huancui hurriedly handed over the wet cotton towel, Xinyan wiped her face, took the teacup and rinsed her mouth. Wheezing and leaning against the carriage.

Bumpy all the way, rested twice on the way, the Queen Mother is old and can't withstand long-distance bumps.

Xinyan was also dizzy, sitting on the side of the road panting, vomiting so much bitter bile that she vomited out.

A handkerchief was handed to her, and she took it and said, "Thank you!" wiped his mouth, was stunned, raised his head sharply, and looked at Fu Yuyan in a daze.

"Master!" Huancui came over with a basin of water from afar, and Chuan Yuyan turned to leave.

"Alas!" Xinyan took the handkerchief in her hand, looked at Chuan Yuyan who was walking away, retracted her hand again, and quickly caged it into her sleeve.

Huancui walked breathlessly, got closer, and put down the copper basin. "Master, who is that just now?"

Xinyan stretched out her hand and carefully washed it in the basin: "Where did this water come from?" ”

"Oh, I just got it from the guard, and this water is expensive. I searched the surrounding area, but I didn't see a drop of water. The trees are dying, and there is no water. Huancui grumbled.

Xinyan washed her hands and face, Huancui wiped the leftover water from Xinyan's washing, and looked at it, the water was turbid, and then she reluctantly splashed it on the ground. It splashed a large cloud of dust, and it was gone in no time.

After a short rest, he set off on his journey. It was like this and stopped until the second half of the night, and finally arrived at Xihua Mountain.

Xinyan looked up at the towering Xihua Mountain and squinted.
