CHAPTER XXIV
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was silence in the Wenxiang Hall, only some girls and servants who got up early were leisurely preparing breakfast. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fu got up before dawn, and stood in front of the window for a long time, playing with the snow on the windowsill from time to time.
"Miss." Dong An called at the door, his voice still unawake.
"Hmm."
"Why did Qiuguo come so late yesterday?" Dong An rubbed his eyes and walked over weakly.
"Something."
"Oh." Dong An didn't seem to bother to inquire.
Pei Yu went to the palace of the king of Qi late at night, and he still had the jade pendant in and out of the king of Qi. After Qiuguo came back, she only said this, she had been in Wenxiangtang for a short time, but after experiencing some things, she probably knew what Wenxiangtang did. Witnessing Pei Yu's free entry and exit of the Qi Palace, she must have been surprised.
"If the Peiyu Pavilion Master is really rebellious, what can I do?" In the dark night, the sound of autumn fruits shivered like the cold wind through the window.
"Die."
In the dark, Fu Yi couldn't see Qiu Guo's expression after hearing this, but the eyes facing the light clearly showed incredulity and panic. Fuyi sent her away, but he couldn't get rid of the uneasiness in his heart.
Fu Yi didn't sleep all night for this, and after tossing and turning in bed for a long time, he still got up. Looking at the red lantern outside the window yesterday, today has become a dejected appearance; watched the arrogant Hanmei standing in the snowdrift; Watch those people come and go.
Suddenly, a person came out of the Caiwen Pavilion, it was Pei Yu. She also seemed to see Fuyi in front of the window, nodded slightly, and turned her head away.
In Ciyuan Palace, the concubines of all palaces gathered here, although Chong Yiyi and Song Fangyao were far apart, their hearts had already gone together, and they couldn't wait to speak immediately.
"Wu Yi is getting more and more iconic, I can compare with Fang Yao." Li Zhaoyuan said after taking a closer look at the two.
Empress Zhong and Concubine Song Xian looked at the two of them carefully, and both nodded in unison.
"Fang Yao's body is too weak, can she adjust it recently?" Concubine Wang De also cared.
"Huide Niangniang, it's much better."
Concubine De nodded, she is an old man in the palace, and her desire to compete for favor has long been diluted, leaving only a heart that hopes to spend the rest of her life in peace. Therefore, Chong Yiyi and Song Fangyao both respect this De Niangniang.
"If you want me to say, now that Song Zhaoyuan has become Concubine Song Xian, she is on an equal footing with us, why don't you have some expensive medicine for the princess?" Concubine Ling has always liked to stir up trouble, and Concubine Song Xian has had a lot of favor recently, which is also provoking her unhappy.
"Back to Guifei Niangniang, Fang Yao's illness is ...... Fang Yao's frailty"
"Come on, I know, your voice is weak, and this palace doesn't have time to listen carefully, but your father is a military general, so you have to speak more thickly." Ling Guifei led the topic to Chong Wuyi.
She always looked down on her, but she could only endure it, and before she could think of how to go back, the man said it again.
"Wu Yi, can you go to Xingqing Palace to see your aunt concubine?" Ling Shi specially accentuated his tone, and immediately smiled after speaking, with a contemptuous look, Wu Yi was the most unaccustomed to it.
"Concubine Ling, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, why bother everywhere?" Although Empress Zhong knew that this Ling Guifei relied on the emperor's grace, she had always been unforgiving in her speech. It's just that today is extra mean, and Queen Zhong has to remind one or two sentences.
Ling Shi's face was full of displeasure after hearing this, and he could only nod. Li Zhaoyuan and the others on the opposite side looked at it, and their faces showed joy. The Ling clan set his eyes on them, but Li Zhaoyuan was bold by nature and didn't take him to heart.
"The queen mother, the crown prince and the crown princess are here." The eunuch reported outside.
"Okay, let him in, Tongbai, add two seats."
"Yes."
The prince and the princess came in, maybe there were a lot of people today, or Hua Yuelin was beside him, and the prince's mind was not on the kind of concubine. After the last time, she only felt that this person was extremely obscene, so she didn't look at it.
"The crown prince has been in much better spirits recently, and I heard that he made great contributions to the placement of the displaced people a few days ago, and the emperor is not very happy." Li Zhaoyuan said.
The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, but it was not easy to show it, Hua Yuelin also felt that there was light on his face, and he sat up much straighter.
"Li Zhaoyuan praised it, Hongji is just doing what he should do."
"It's really well done, so it's a boast." Cao Xiuyuan, who was on the side, also accosted her, they all wanted to stammer with the prince and the queen, so that they would not end well after the prince ascended the throne.
"Cao Xiuyuan, Li Zhaoyuan, the two sisters praise him too much, I don't know how he is on weekdays." The queen knows the prince well, so although she is happy for him, she is really worried in her heart.
The prince wanted to boast about himself a little more, but as soon as his mother spoke, he had to humble himself. In his heart, he was angry that his mother had embarrassed him, and Hua Yuelin was unwilling to be on the side.
"The queen teaches her children well, although it is good to educate them often, but she does not praise them if she has merit, but it damages the prince's confidence, which is not good." Ling interjected.
The prince looked at Ling, only to feel that what she said was reasonable. Even Hua Yuelin, who was on the side, began to talk to her. Harmony is more like a family.
Although Zhong Lijia was uncomfortable above, it was not easy to say anything, and Chong Wuyi was beside the queen to hold grievances. Finally, more than an hour passed, and when the concubines dispersed, the Ling family also invited the prince and his wife to be guests. The two went without refusing.
"Queen Mother, this ......." Concubine De also seemed to notice something, and just wanted to say something, she was stopped by the queen, and she had to return to the palace after saluting.
"Sister." Song got up and looked at Zhong Lijia distressedly.
"It's out of the way."
Chong Wuyi and the Song family looked at each other, and it was difficult to say anything. I only sat in Ciyuan Palace for a while and left. Zhong Lijia was a little tired after dealing with the guests all day, and the prince was not filial, so his heart fell into a panic. In the evening, he sent a few imperial doctors, but there was no countermeasure for a while. sent someone to the Ling family palace to ask the prince to come back, and the Ling family stopped him at the door, and the three of them talked and had a lot of fun inside.
Zhong Lijia was here, seeing that the prince was delayed in the future, he also understood a little in his heart, and his tears only fell, and he was helpless, so he could only sigh uncontrollably.
On Wenxiangtang's side, although Shuyuan didn't tell Pei Yu about it, Ye Xin happened to see the two of them that night. Suspicious in his heart, afraid that Pei Yu would follow his old path, he hesitated for a long time and finally went to Caiwen Pavilion that night.
"Miss, the Lord of Ye Xin Pavilion is here." Hui Meng said outside.
"Quick, welcome in."
"I'm afraid you'll sleep." Ye Xin said.
"Where is it so early, but I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and you are not in the future on Chinese New Year's Eve, but you are not feeling well?" Pei Yu is still the same considerate as before.
"But I had a little illness, I recuperated for a few days, and now I feel better, I feel bored, and I come out for a walk."
"It's okay, I'm also very bored, and it's good to have you as a companion."
Ye Xin smiled and followed Pei Yu into the cabinet, Pei Yu asked someone to prepare tea, and he was busy for a while before calming down.
"Pei Yu, are your injuries all healed?" Ye Xin asked.
"It's fine, but I still need to take medicine."
"I don't think the medicine on your bedside is like a prescription prescribed by Dr. Wang, but where did my sister go to ask for some medicine?"
"It's just some tonic taken by others, and I haven't eaten much of it." Pei Yu saw that the medicine sent by Gu Shiming was neatly placed on the bedside, and he was a little nervous, for fear that Ye Xin would see something.
"Tonic, although I don't know medicine, but I am with Shuyuan every day, and I understand a lot, but I'm afraid these medicines can't cure my sister."
"Sister, what do you mean?"
"Haven't you heard that there is no medicine in this world?"
Ye Xin stood up and walked to the side of the bed and looked at the medicine bottles. Pei Yu knew that the matter was revealed, but he didn't know how much Ye Xin knew. Slowly walking towards the place where the sword was placed, suddenly, Ye Xin turned to stare at her, revealing her usual ethereal.
"Sister, but you want to finish me?" Ye Xin said.
The wind tightened, the door was blown shut with a hula, and the window swayed back and forth, revealing an uneasy mood.
