The Queen Mother's chanting and prayer began from the time of the time to the time of Shen, during the period of four hours, and Qin Shujiu also knelt in the hall for four hours, during which no one supported and no one dared to come forward to help, until the end of the prayer chanting, no one came to ask Qin Shujiu to get up.

Kneeling on the cold ground for four whole hours, the wind that seeped in kept blowing, Qin Shujiu's whole body stiffened, and he was only able to stand up when he got up with the support of the palace people, his legs were numb and he was almost unconscious. What Xu Cairen has done, these palace people are all in their eyes, but how dare they talk too much about the things of the upper world? I could only look at it like that, and when the Empress Dowager came over with a decree in the palace, she dared to help Qin Shujiu get up.

When he got up, he was already as careful as possible, but his legs had already lost his feeling after kneeling for too long, and it was also the palace person who supported him to be careful, otherwise Qin Shujiu was afraid that he would have to fall heavily to the ground. Laughed and thanked the palace man, and she helped herself out, the palace man helped him very carefully, maybe he also felt aggrieved for Qin Shujiu, this palace man couldn't help but whisper while supporting him: "After seeing Xu Cairen, I still took a detour." ”

That Xu Cairen treated this Miao Baolin with extreme disgust, and the clear-eyed people saw it really, and the palace people also had good intentions to mention this awakening. Xu is listened, and while holding his numb and sore feet with his hand, Qin Shujiu replied, "Thank you." ”

became like this, coming out of the immortal palace can make Nan Zhi shocked, when even if he rushed over to carry Qin Shujiu from that palace, Nan Zhi Jiao asked, "Sister, what's going on?" "When people go in, they are fine, how can they come out and become like this, when they are helping, they look worriedly, Nanzhi is very painful in his heart.

Instead of answering immediately, he glanced at his almost useless feet, and Qin Shujiu said, "Let's talk about it when we go back." Then he didn't say much, but let Nanzhi help him back to Zhong Sha Palace.

When Zhong Sha Gong untied Qin Shujiu's clothes and looked at his knees who had been kneeling for four hours, Nanzhi's heart seemed to be ripped out. Four hours, kneeling on the hard stone, let alone his daughter's house, even the battle-hardened soldiers had to endure a lot of hardships, almost distressed, Nanzhi said.

"That Xu Cairen is really a snake and scorpion person, such a vicious method can be used, such a woman, I really can't wait to ......"

"Namggyi." Before the words were finished, Qin Shujiu interrupted, no matter how angry she was in her heart, but some words that could not be said clearly could not be said clearly, even if Nanzhi was distressed, the wall had ears and was cautious, that was the sentence she had heard the most since she was a child. asked Qin Shujiu to scold, Nanzhi couldn't say anything here, so he could only wipe it with the silk cloth soaked in ice water to relieve Qin Shujiu's pain. When this was being carefully wiped, the door of the inner bed was pushed open, and the curtain entered the insider from the outside, and he came to Qin Shujiu and said, "Baolin, Fang Cai sent someone to send something from there." ”

"What's that?" Raising her head and asking, Qin Shujiu was a little puzzled by the fact that Chen Shuyi would send someone to send objects, after all, she had never had anything to do with Mengcairen. Sitting and looking at the small sandalwood box held in the curtain's hand, Qin Shujiu didn't rush to take it over and check it, but asked, "Did you say what was inside?" ”

"The palace man who sent it just now said that this is some ointment to dissolve blood and remove blood stasis, which was made by Mengcai herself, and she was ordered to send it."

"An ointment to dissolve blood and remove blood stasis?" This made Qin Shujiu feel even more strange, and took the sandalwood box in his palm, the small brocade box was boxy and carved on all four sides of the four gentlemen, Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and when he opened the sandalwood box, there was a small brocade box the size of fat powder. Take out the brocade box, put it aside, hold the brocade box in the palm of your hand, open the box and face a refreshing fragrance. It has the aroma of mint, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it, and their hearts are inevitably empty.

Qin Shujiu didn't understand this, but he also knew that this was the best medicine for blood and blood stasis, so he handed over the brocade box to Nanzhi and asked him to take medicine for himself, and then looked at the curtain and said, "Curtain, go to my bed and take a five-butterfly hairpin and send it over, all as a thank you gift." ”

"Curtain Order." After speaking, he went to bed, took out the five butterfly hairpins from the box with jewelry, and then went out of the palace gate to wait for the master to worship Xie Mengcai.

Although the ointment is refreshing, but the knees have been kneeling for a long time, it hurts to take the medicine like this, and his face is pale, but he can only endure it, while enduring the pain in his knees, Qin Shujiu said: "Nanzhi, what do you mean by that dream talent?" ”

Inexplicably sent himself this ointment to remove stasis, although he didn't make the Queen Mother unhappy today, but the Queen Mother was afraid that it was not appropriate in her heart. Chanting scriptures to pray for the blessing of Da Jiang but asked the queen mother to order the concubines who were not allowed to enter, so it was already a punishment. This kind of punishment for those who don't have any friendship on weekdays who are not Baba stay away from themselves, even those who will nod and say a word or two on the past day, these days are also avoided. However, this dream is talented, but he gave himself medicine in the opposite way, such a thing really made Qin Shujiu feel uneasy, so he asked Nanzhi. And Nanzhi's impression of this dream talent is also good, this side gently pushed while recalling, Nanzhi said.

"Speaking of this dream, he is really a very good person, and the new concubine in this palace is also the best temperament of her, although she is the queen's nephew, but the humility of being a person in the world is really incomparable to even your sister. It is said that after entering the palace, I have not seen her angrily punish the palace people, but she is a good person of the first class. ”

There are many rights and wrongs in the palace mouth, no matter how kind-hearted people are, there will always be one or two who are not happy to look at them, but this dream talent is an exception? How a special person is, but Qin Shujiu has to pay attention.

Nodding in response, Qin Shujiu replied softly: "According to you, she is really a good person?" ”

"At least Nanzhi thinks that compared to your sister, Mengcai is really a good person." When he said this, he didn't forget to see that Qin Shujiu was secretly happy. What kind of people each other are, in the eyes of the other party, it is clear, and Qin Shujiu will not be moved by Nanzhi's rare joke. It was just like slapping her, and then laughed and feigned anger.

"In the poor mouth, I will punish you carefully next time."

This warning can be regarded as Nan Zhi retracted, smiled slightly, then lowered his head and continued to rub Qin Shujiu's knees, but the strength in this hand was inevitably a lot lighter. While letting Nanzhi rub it, he looked at the brocade box on the table, the ointment in the brocade box exuded a refreshing aroma of mint, and it was indeed a first-class medicine.

The knee injury was nothing to Qin Shujiu, and the ointment sent by Chen Shuyi was also good, and soon the bruises on Qin Shujiu's feet were scattered. In the past few days, because of this knee injury, Qin Shujiu has rejected Liqing several times, how can he accompany His Majesty with this injury. The refusal should be refused, but the reason for the refusal she also had to secretly inform Liqing through the people below, you must know that this grievance is suffered, although you can't say it clearly, but you can't break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach.

The grievances that were said by others were the real grievances, so after Qin Shujiu's injury was almost healed, Liqing hurriedly came to see it. Seeing that he had also suffered a lot of sins, because Qin Shujiu's complexion did not look very good. Looking at her with some distress, Liqing asked, "But it's better?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's almost better, and it doesn't hurt like that."

"I know you've been wronged this time." Pulling Qin Shujiu's hand and patting it lightly, Li Qing sighed quietly. He is a king, although he holds a lot of power, he also has a lot of involuntary self-control, Liqing's helplessness Qin Shujiu also understood in his heart, that is, he shook Liqing's hand and then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't be like this, the concubine knows that Your Majesty treats the concubine well." As for these grievances, they are really not grievances, they are just the concubines who lost their manners and disturbed the Queen Mother's wishes, and they should be punished. ”

"You have always been cautious and cautious, let alone in front of your mother, how can you lose your manners?" Qin Shujiu is a thoughtful and lovely person, seeing the Queen Mother praying for Jiang Guo's blessing and loyalty, such a thing is supposed to mention twelve points of caution, Liqing doesn't believe that Qin Shujiu will make a mistake when it is so important. To be honest, just for the things that Xu Luoxin took the opportunity to do, Liqing knew seven or eight points in his heart, but these seven or eight points were helpless, after all, Xu Cairen's mother was the third prince Xu Taiwei, and he was an important minister in the court who was not easy to provoke.

As a woman behind the emperor, the embarrassing thing is that you must not embarrass Your Majesty, to be honest, as long as she listens to Liqing's words, Qin Shujiu will know enough in her heart. Holding Liqing's hand on the contrary, he couldn't help but add some strength, Qin Shujiu replied with a smile: "As long as Your Majesty understands, the grievances suffered by the concubine are really not grievances, after all, Taiwei Xu is an important minister in the court, and he is meritorious to the country and the king, Your Majesty must not hurt the hearts of the courtiers for the sake of the concubine." ”

"Did you break the heart of your courtier?" For some reason, Liqing repeated one side, sneered slightly, and then smiled, Liqing said: "He is loyal to me." ”

There is no lack of deep meaning in the words, and of course Mrs. Xu's loyalty is clear in Liqing's heart, and this thought of Mrs. Xu and the things in the court, Liqing can't help but feel bored in his heart. The face sank and people really felt unhappy, Nanzhi also happened to enter the inner bed, put a quartz cup and two delicate small bowls on the tray in his hand, and put the items on the plate in front of the table, Nanzhi then stepped back and waited aside.

After the quartz cup was placed on the table, Liqing smelled a fresh smell, and immediately looked at the quartz cup; Liqing asked, "What is this?" ”

"Your Majesty guess?" didn't answer but a ridiculous rhetorical question, called Liqing just smiled but didn't mean to guess, Qin Shujiu could only sigh: "Your Majesty is always like this, always unwilling to guess, in the end, it's not the concubine who admits defeat and reveals the secret." While saying the complaining words, Qin Shujiu lifted the lid of the cup, and the umami was even worse when he opened it, smelling the umami and looking at the soup cooked in the cup, Li Qing smiled.

"Smells like chicken soup?"

"It's Your Majesty, it's chicken soup." Answering with a smile, Qin Shujiu took the porcelain spoon and gently stirred it a few times, then filled a bowl for Liqing, put the bowl and spoon in front of Liqing, Qin Shujiu said: "The humidity is inevitably heavy in spring, and the body is also easy to get tired, Your Majesty drink some fish maw and Poria cocos chicken soup to get wet." ”

Poria cocos to get wet, but this spring must not be a good meal, took a bowl and spoon and ate a few bites, Liqing nodded and said: "This food bureau is getting better and better, this soup is very fresh, very good." After saying that, he ate a few more bites,

The taste of fish maw and poria chicken soup is very much liked by Liqing, and Liqing should praise it, but this time he praised the wrong person. Seeing that Liqing praised the chef of the Shangshi Bureau, Nanzhi couldn't help but smile secretly on the side, and this snickering made Liqing ask immediately when he saw it in his eyes.

"What are you laughing at?"

Liqing asked if he had lost his manners, and Nanzhi hurriedly knelt down and responded: "Your Majesty, the servant snickered because His Majesty praised the wrong person." ”

"I'm boasting the wrong person?" Looking at Nanzhi, Liqing asked.

"Your Majesty, yes." Lying on the ground and not daring to look directly at Shengyan, although Nanzhi looked a little trembling and worried that the gaffe just now would be punished by Liqing, she still answered honestly.

"Did I boast of the wrong person?" After putting the bowl and spoon on the table and glancing at the quartz cup on the table, Liqing said: "It seems that I really praised the wrong person, this fish maw and Poria cocos chicken soup is Shu'er's masterpiece?" ”

Looking at it with some surprise, Qin Shujiu asked after a slight flute, "Your Majesty, do you really know?" ”

"Of course I know, someone else." After chuckling, Liqing said, "Others don't have your thoughts. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and flicked it directly on Qin Shujiu's forehead, although it didn't hurt, it also made Qin Shujiu sit there stunned.

She looked at Liqing for a long time, until Liqing called her back to her senses, Qin Shujiu was stunned, and then turned his face sideways, staggered his gaze, and said with a red face: "Your Majesty's daily affairs are all in order, and the well-being of the people is tied to Your Majesty alone, even if the concubine is for Your Majesty, it is necessary to put more effort into it." Your Majesty is talented, and you are really ......"

Looking at the appearance, I was ashamed of the flick just now, such a delicate and lovely appearance should be pleasing to the eye, so Liqing couldn't help laughing, pointing at her, Liqing said.

"You, oh, I can't see through it."

His heart sank after these words, and then he immediately suppressed it, and Qin Shujiu replied: "Your Majesty is talking nonsense, how can anyone in this world make Your Majesty unable to see through, if Your Majesty can't see through it, how can you guess that this chicken soup is made by concubines." The concubine's careful thoughts, even if they are all taken out, if Your Majesty is willing, it is really true. ”

Liqing just likes Qin Shujiu's blessed appearance, and instead of the modest courtesy she usually looks at, she has a little bit of her daughter's squeamishness. The daughter's family must be squeamish, so that people can take pity on it, otherwise they always follow the rules, but they are also a little boring.

I don't know if Qin Shujiu is intentional or unintentional, but she knows how to make herself feel comfortable, and it is for this that Liqing treats her better and better. Calling Qin Shujiu's accusation, Liqing didn't want to say anything more, but looked at him and shook his head with a smile, and then ate another bowl of chicken soup, and this bowl of chicken soup was just down when he heard Qin Shujiu say softly.

"This spring is really coming, and the revival of plants and trees is also a faction." Saying that, people have already looked at this outside, and there is a slight hint of fluttering in the words, but it makes the scene outside this spring hook the soul. Listening to Qin Shujiu's sudden sigh, Liqing also raised his head to look at her, and then smiled.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to hang out? ”
