Chapter 227 Ritual Gift-giving
Concubine Lide finally died of illness, and I am afraid no one expected such a heroine to end up like this. Qin Shujiu was in the bathhouse hall at the time, and it stands to reason that Concubine Lide's accident was inseparable from her, but Concubine Lide's skills were not ordinary people after all, and Qin Shujiu was just a powerless concubine, even if the two lived in the same palace, no one would feel that Qin Shujiu had the ability to have anything to do with Concubine Lide's affairs. In addition, if Murong Duan is already right, Concubine Lide's matter has something to do with the depression in her heart, that is, if she does not find a life-saving medicine, Concubine Lide will inevitably have this fate.
Concubine Lide's life can only be cured by heart medicine, that is, because only heart medicine can be cured, she will eventually find it difficult to save her life. Since the death of Concubine De is not suspicious, it is not easy for others to be suspicious, that is, after leaving the bathhouse hall, Qin Shujiu returned to the palace safely.
Since that day, Concubine Lide has been excited, and now it has only been two or three days, and the former arrogant and cold Concubine Lide has disappeared and entered the Yellow Spring. A person's life is too weak, and sometimes it is just a thought to take a person's life, and people can't help but sigh when they think about it.
Waiting on the side to sort out the silk thread in the basket, he smelled Qin Shujiu's long sigh, Nanzhi couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with my sister?" Why are you sighing? Seeing Qin Shujiu, he sighed again, and then said, "Nothing, I just thought of Concubine Lide." ”
"Lady Rid?" Seeing Qin Shujiu mention Concubine Lide, Nanzhi couldn't help but frown, and then said, "Concubine Lide, what does my sister want her to do?" Could it be that she feels that Concubine Lide is dead now, and there will be fewer people to fight with her in the future, but she feels a little sorry in her heart. ”
Obviously, it was a common sigh, but it made this girl say such a joking thing, and at that moment, Qin Shujiu slapped her with an eye knife and then said, "What nonsense?" I'm such an aggressive person, but if there is no one who fights, I will feel sorry in my heart? Is this really the case, in this harem, do you think you can fight less with you? There is one less Concubine Lide, and I don't know how many difficult masters are hidden in this palace, that is, the deepest stinger is still stuck there, and you are still worried that no one will fight with you. ”
The most indispensable thing in the palace is fighting, even if you don't want to fight anymore, others will set up a way to force you to fight. Qin Shujiu's words were a little reprimanding, and he immediately asked Nan Zhi to purse his lips and then even make amends, or after a few words of accompaniment, Nan Zhi asked: "It's not that it's bitter about this matter, sister, why are you sighing because of Concubine Lide, don't say to Nan Zhi that you pity that person." ”
Just after being reprimanded, there was no accuracy in his mouth, and at that moment, Secretary Qin's eyes were even more aroused, and he locked his eyebrows and glared a few times, and Qin Shujiu said: "Hugh said these nonsense, I pity her?" Don't say that she only died once, even if she dies in front of me ten more times, I have no intention of pitying her. ”
"If so, why did my sister think about her and sigh?"
"I'm just sighing."
"Exclamation?" This can make Nanzhi a little unclear, and it is an inquiry at the moment, and after the inquiry, he saw Qin Shujiu's quiet voice and sighed lightly, and then said: "Sigh This person's life is too fragile, obviously looking at such a difficult person to get rid of, but this blink of an eye, saying that it is gone, is gone." ”
Human life is so soft and brittle that sometimes it makes people feel terrible when they think about it. I don't know if it's because I've been in this palace for too long, and my hands have been dyed with a lot of lives, Qin Shu suddenly sighed. Her sigh couldn't help but go directly into Nanzhi's heart, and she couldn't help but worry a little, Nanzhi said: "The life in this palace is like this, if you don't make someone else's life brittle, or someone else makes your life brittle?" Everyone's fate is not the same, but sooner or later. Why did my sister suddenly sigh like this, even if my sister didn't take Concubine Lide's life this time, she would inevitably take our lives according to her temperament, since she knew this, she shouldn't hurt herself because of this undue kindness. ”
It's not that she's ruthless, it's just that the women in this harem are like this, and if you want to live in this harem, you have to do whatever it takes. Qin Shujiu should know these truths, and there is no need for Nanzhi to preach, but it was also because of his own sigh that he had no chance to cause Nanzhi to say this, Qin Shujiu couldn't help but laugh.
"You, you, you haven't managed it yourself but learned to teach me a lesson, can I understand these principles?" It was backward and called Nanzhi to laugh and then said: "My sister is the most reasonable person, and it is Nanzhi Sage who moved the door axe in front of her, so that my sister smiled." ”
Concubine Lide's big worry in her heart has just been removed, Nan Zhi is a little relieved here, once she relaxes, people will also start to make fun, and Qin Shujiu is helpless. When he shook his head and didn't want to pay attention to her, he saw Nanzhi and said: "Concubine Lide will end up like this, Nanzhi didn't expect it, but did my sister feel that His Majesty is still very affectionate in this matter." ”
After inquiring, Qin Shujiu moved his eyes, and then asked in a back: "Ruthless?" What do you mean by that? Rhetorical inquiry Luo Nanzhi continued: "One day husband and wife hundred days, this Concubine Lide has been with His Majesty for twenty years, why not how about the love in it." His Majesty wants Yu Wensheng's right, which Nanzhi understands, but Concubine Lide and Her Majesty are also husband and wife, and Concubine Lide is dying of blood depression, and Her Majesty has never moved the thought of giving her heart medicine, which really makes people feel more and more chilled the more they think about it. ”
If Concubine Lide is also the old man next to Liqing, it is not as graceful as before, but this true love is still there, but just before the sickbed, Murong Duanruo said a way to save his life, and Liqing never had any thoughts. just sighed, just ordered the doctor to take care of him, and then left directly. His weakness, although it helped Qin Shujiu, in addition to Concubine Lide, also made Nanzhi feel more and more ruthless, which made people feel cold.
A woman has dedicated her whole life to a man, but in the end, this man did not move the idea of saving it, which is heart-wrenching.
Although he wanted to get rid of Concubine Lide quickly, when he mentioned this matter, Nanzhi couldn't help but show a little pity in his words. It was Qin Shujiu, because of her words, he was suddenly silent, and he didn't answer but closed his voice silently, and only said after a long time.
"Have you ever thought of saving you, maybe?"
No one knew what Liqing was thinking at that time, but Qin Shujiu felt that even if he was ruthless, he still had a little sincerity towards Concubine Lide. It's a pity that Concubine Lide's life is not good, her father is a hussar general who is extremely powerful today, a hussar general with hundreds of thousands of troops, and a hussar general who can shock the master, such a powerful general, how can Liqing stay with him for a long time? The power of the hussar general, Liqing wanted to seize it for more than a day or two, and finally waited for such a good opportunity at the right time, place and people, how could he miss it.
When Murong Duan said that Concubine Lide's illness was caused by a heart disease, Concubine Lide was destined to have no cure. Liqing may have true feelings for Concubine Lide, but these true feelings are really insignificant in front of his country's power, and it is impossible for him to give up the military power that he finally recovered for a woman, destroy his country, and leave trouble for his country.
Liqing is too smart and too sage, and it is because of sage that he can do too many things that ordinary people can't do.
Concubine Lide fainted, she was in the bathhouse hall at that time, even if it was the concubine Lide who had an accident at that time, the only one in the hall who was with her should be suspicious. Empress Zheng was suspicious, so she said that she wanted to call Her Majesty Xià Shuncha. But Liqing didn't, he obviously deliberately ignored Empress Zheng's suspicions, and firmly believed in what Murong Duanruo said.
Liqing is such a thoughtful person, and Empress Zheng's doubts at that time are afraid that they also entered his heart, but he doesn't want to pay attention to it. Perhaps in Liqing's original intention, he was more inclined to Concubine Lide's illness. After all, he has been with Concubine Lide for decades, and what kind of temperament Concubine Lide is, he is the clearest in his heart.
Concubine Lide is stubborn and arrogant, and she has never been convinced, even if the Yuwen clan has been defeated, but as long as she is alive, she will definitely try her best to restore the power of the Yuwen clan. The Yuwen family is jealous of Liqing, how can he tolerate such a family that threatens his imperial power to regain power in the court. is unbearable, and it is categorically impossible to allow, for the sake of her own country, Liqing will only choose to give up Concubine Lide in the end.
Only when Concubine Lide died, the Yuwen clan would never be able to restore power, and he would be able to control the military power.
Qin Shujiu thought of all of this, but she didn't know if Liqing had such thoughts in her heart. It was because of sighing that he couldn't help but rethink these things again, and after thinking about it, Qin Shujiu couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder the eldest sister would say that today's majesty is the most difficult person in the world."
Suddenly said such a strange word, Nanzhi was puzzled, and he was thinking about whether to ask, but at this time, the curtain entered the inner way.
"Niangniang, Meng Xiuyi asks to see you."
Soon after Qin Shujiu was crowned concubine, Chen Shuyi called Liqing Jin as a cultivator because of his pure temperament, although he was not an extremely favored person in this palace, he also respected Liqing like a guest and lived a stable life. There are the most women in this palace, but if you want to say which woman has the most desirelessness, I am afraid that it should be this Meng Xiuyi. It's not a competition for favor all day long, and it's even rare to put any thoughts on His Majesty's body, and he just pounces on the fine grass pollen fragrance he has. But because of her temperament, she is really quiet, and Liqing often likes to sit in her place, and she also has grace.
Chen Shuyi is not close to anyone in the palace, but everyone can say a few words, and today he suddenly visited, although Qin Shujiu felt a little strange, but he still ordered the curtain to summon him. also got Qin Shujiu's order, and the curtain was busy inviting Chen Shuyi into the palace.
After entering the palace, he bowed to him, and he rewarded Chen Shuyi and sat down, and Qin Shujiu asked: "Sister Meng came to the palace this time, but what happened?" "If Chen Shuyi is not the same as Qin Shujiu when she entered the palace, she is still older than Qin Shujiu in her age, although Qin Shujiu's current position is far above her, but when she meets, she still calls her a sister, which is also a matter of respect.
Qin Shujiu has always done everything well, and the face on the table has always been sufficient, although these words are also a tribute to her, but Chen Shuyi still didn't dare to be afraid, so she got up and bowed, and then said: "Niangniang's position is far above the concubine, how can the concubine be the sister of the concubine, and I hope that the concubine will not be a concubine anymore." ”
is said softly, this kind of humility is also she can't pretend, at the moment can make Qin Shujiu smile, busy is to signal Nan Zhi to step forward to help, and then look at Nan Zhi helped Chen Shuyi to sit down, Qin Shujiu said: "They are all sisters in the family, my sister is tormenting my sister when I say this, my sister and my sister are entering the palace together, if the position of His Majesty is still my sister's age at that time, it is above my sister." Now that she has inherited the throne of Majesty and Long En, she is still a respected sister in her sister's heart, and this sister is also willing, so how can she talk about it. ”
Seeing that Chen Shuyi still wanted to say something after these words, Qin Shujiu hurriedly said again: "Besides, the sisters who entered the palace with their sister are now the only ones left with their sister. Sister Su has left her sister, and the only one who can speak best in this palace is my sister. If my sister still wants to talk to my sister about those raw things, I don't want to talk to my sister in the future. ”
Now that they entered the palace together, there are only the two of them left, and they also said this when they saw Qin Shujiu's words, Chen Shuyi couldn't say anything more, and he could only sigh at the moment, and he would definitely not be like this in the future. Seeing her say that, Qin Shujiu chuckled and asked.
"By the way, my sister came to my sister's palace today, but what's the matter?"
Fang Cai's words were good, but after all, the friendship between Qin Shujiu and Chen Shuyi had not reached the point where he had nothing to do in the palace to chat, so he also took advantage of the situation to inquire again. It was also after seeing Qin Shujiu and then inquiring, Chen Shuyi remembered that he had not yet explained what he had done today, when he even took out something from his sleeve, took it out and then offered it, Nan Zhi took it first and looked at it carefully, and then presented that thing to Qin Shujiu.
I took the little and looked at the things inside, and saw that there was a black spice in the little one, and the fragrance was colorless and tasteless, so I picked it up and put it in my hand and sniffed it closely, but I didn't smell half of the smell. This thing looks like it is obviously a spice, but there is no aroma near the nose, which can't help but make Qin Shujiu feel suspicious, so he sniffed it again at the moment, and then said.
"Sister, this thing is a spice?" After asking, Chen Shuyi said with a smile: "Niangniang is smart, and it is a spice." ”
"If it's a spice, why doesn't it have half a fragrance near the nose?" After speaking, as if she wanted to try again, Qin Shujiu got closer to her nose, but no matter how many times she sniffed it, the spice smelled faint and unscented, like a piece of looking for something. If it was given by someone else, he might be suspicious in his heart, this thing was from Chen Shuyi's hand, and it was definitely not the thing he was looking for, so Qin Shujiu immediately asked.
Seeing her inquiry, Chen Shuyi didn't say anything urgently, but just smiled and borrowed spices from Qin Shujiu. Although it was not clear what her intention was to borrow this object, Qin Shujiu still ordered Nanzhi to take it quickly. When the spice was taken, Chen Shuyi was ordered to burn it.
stepped forward to Qin Shujiu to retrieve Xiao Xi, and then took a small amount of ordinary spices and put them in the furnace, and the fragrance was full of fragrance in an instant. The fragrance is as light as fluttering, and the fragrance is slightly lingering, which is just burned and dispersed. I really didn't know that such a pleasant fragrance was hidden in this small fragrance, and immediately called Qin Shujiu's eyebrows were relieved, and he couldn't help but sigh, Qin Shujiu said.
"It's a good fragrance, but I feel relieved after smelling it, sister, is this fragrance mixed with golden wood rhino?" When he sniffed, he couldn't help but ask, and when he saw Qin Shujiu asking, Chen Shuyi couldn't help but smile and responded: "I can't hide it from my mother, this incense is indeed mixed with golden rhinoceros, not only golden wood rhino, but also the water agarwood given by the queen's mother back then, and this incense is also mixed with a little." ”
After hearing it, Qin Shujiu was slightly surprised,
Qin Shujiu couldn't figure out how this place, when he inquired, he just saw Chen Shuyi smile lightly after asking, but he didn't say anything. This person has personal skills, and it is common for him not to like to talk to outsiders, and Qin Shujiu will not continue to ask questions at the moment. It was also after seeing Qin Shujiu and not asking, Chen Shuyi ordered Ke Ran to offer the little Xi again, and then said.
"This incense is made by the concubine recently, and I feel that the extremely lining Niangniang is taking the liberty to send it, and I hope that the Niangniang will not think this thing is light." At that moment, he took the little wine forward, looking at the spices in the little wine, Qin Shujiu was not easy to collect. Busy is to respond: "Sister said this, it's easy to say here, but the water agarwood here is hard to find, it is such a piece of incense I am afraid that the first piece in the palace can not be found, how can my sister be light." Just ......"
"Since the mother doesn't dislike it, she accepts it, and it can be regarded as a piece of the concubine's heart to be a sister."
The words have come to this, if you don't accept it, it will always make people feel that this gift is light, and it is not the first time that Chen Shuyi's gift has been received, and her sex is really weak and she has no grudges in the palace, so she will accept it now. Knowing that Nanzhi accepted the little one, Qin Shujiu thanked Chen Shuyi for his kindness. (To be continued.) )
