Chapter 178: Drowsiness

The upper room in the inner courtyard is very quiet, the autumn trees are shadowing, and the rustle of the leaves swept by the breeze is very clear. After autumn, as soon as the weather turns cool, the West Palace begins to be lively. Zhou Bo is a native of the old palace, and he is preparing for the ceremony on August 15 in the front yard and backyard. There are too many things to prepare, and he also feels that he can't take care of them, after all, he is older, and the things in his head, sometimes he can't remember, and after watching it a few times, he doesn't know what is missing, until he comes back in a circle, and he doesn't know what to add.

But Sui'er can't be disturbed when she is napping. Sui'er has been very sleepy lately, and when it comes to noon, she is so sleepy that she can't open her eyes. Even if it was thunder, she also slept correctly, Liu Zhao saw her like this, and he didn't come to the West Palace after the court, and went back to the Deyang Palace directly. But he will still stay with her at night, as long as he sees Sui'er every day, he feels energetic.

Ziyan is looking at the fire, these days Sui'er always likes to drink some porridge, doesn't like greasy things, and eats very little. Zhengyin held a hot potato, took a bite, rolled on the tip of his tongue and swallowed it indiscriminately, and said to Ziyan: "This thing is delicious, Sister Xin'er just baked it, or I'll get you one!" ”

Ziyan rolled her eyes and glanced at her and said, "Don't, you're too greedy, look at your waist, it's about to have a bucket thick, Sister Xin'er is too, it's okay to burn any potato." ”

Zhengyin ignored her, Wuzi ate happily, and said vaguely: "You don't know, Sister Xin'er will be out of the palace next year, and she thinks of us in her heart, always make something delicious." Maybe the mother begged the emperor to give her a good marriage, drove Gao Zhi, and also brought us to live a decent life for two days. ”

Ziyan took a sip of her: "Phew! Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths! I don't have that good life! I don't want to have such a good life and meet a good master like Niangniang. It is the blessing that we have cultivated in this life, and if I can serve my mother for the rest of my life, I will have enough. Thinking about the dirty things outside, have you forgotten that Shunxi and the fifth sister? Okay, don't joke with your life! ”

Zhengyin stretched out his finger and poked her forehead, "Just think about Niangniang, which of us is not like this." Niang Niang is good to all of us. If only I had something else in mind. There will be five thunderbolts in the sky. ”

Ling'er brought some vegetables in and said, "What's wrong with Niangniang today, from sleeping after lunch until now, Sister Yu has peeked outside several times." Still asleep. The emperor has been coming day by day, and the mother has not read until late at night for a long time. Why is this so big? ”

Ziyan said: "Yes, I'm also wondering, Manager Zhou said that we should prepare things." But Niangniang has such a sleeping method, I can't finish preparing for August 15! When the time comes, there will be something inconsiderate. The emperor is on fire, and it is not easy to get along. ”

Ling'er put the dishes away, raised his face outside, and said, "The emperor doesn't look at those small places, what are the more." What's missing, it's the one who looks at the Changqiu Palace. Who doesn't know her temperament, she is the best at picking bones in eggs. This banquet on August 15 will be held in our West Palace. It's also her idea, maybe what's bad to hold back! ”

Then he whispered. You forget, this palace is not peaceful, come here today, leave tomorrow, all in the palace, which words are heard, it is the crime of being beaten and losing her head, we all know who she is, add 10,000 careful, don't let the mother suffer. Ziyan solemnly grimaced and admonished repeatedly.

Zhao Yu didn't know how many times he had turned outside the warm pavilion, and every time he went in, he saw Sui'er asleep. I didn't dare to disturb it, so I had to go outside. Su Lan'er also came over to see it a few times, looked at her anxious appearance, and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing that Niangniang loves to sleep, why are you as anxious as a rabbit, don't you." ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "I have been serving Niangniang, although I have not been a child, but I also know her temperament, in addition to being sick, she has never been so sleepy, and she will take a nap at noon, and she will wake up in less than an hour." But during this time, she slept at least two or three hours a day, and she was sleepy-eyed when she accompanied the emperor at night. ”

Hearing her say this, Su Lan'er was also startled, and said in a low voice: "Jade girl, you can't talk nonsense, the emperor is here every day, if the mother is drugged, it will not be the crime of killing the king, this crime is not small!" ”

Zhao Yu nodded, "I understand, so I'm in a hurry, the Tai Hospital in this palace is all controlled by the queen, let them check, I'm really not at ease." ”

Su Lan'er said: "If that's the case, I know one, maybe I can enter the palace to show my mother." ”

"Who is it?" Zhao Yu was very surprised.

Su Lan'er said: "Lord Zuo Tianqi detained the queen's nurse that day, but he begged the emperor to give him a marriage, and later it became, it was his lady, called-"

"Lu Qingying!" The two said it at the same time, and they couldn't help but smile at each other. Zhao Yu said: "Miss Qingying is a good friend of Niangniang, and she is a female dependent, it is convenient to enter the palace, why didn't I expect it a long time ago." I went to ask the emperor to ask the emperor to allow the Qingying girl to enter the palace. ”

Zhao Yu trotted to the Deyang Palace, and saw Zhou Rong standing at the door, like a door god, so he smiled and said: "Lord Zhou, the slave Zhao Yu wants to see the emperor!" ”

Zhou Rong looked Zhao Yu up and down, and said, "You are a little maidservant, what do you want to see the emperor?" I saw that you had martial arts that day, didn't you have any bad thoughts about the emperor? ”

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "The emperor goes to our mother's place every day, if Yu'er doesn't have any ideas, can she wait until today?" Lord Zhou, I came today for the sake of my mother's business, and I would like to ask Lord Zhou to give me a farewell. ”

At this time, Che Qing heard a voice coming from inside, and when he saw that it was Zhao Yu, he said, "It's Miss Yu, what's the matter, is there anything wrong with Niangniang?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded, "I'm here for my mother's business, and I asked Lord Che to tell me." ”

Che Qing said to Zhou Rong: "Brother Zhou, this is the jade girl next to the noble lady, don't keep a straight face, it will scare people." Miss Jade, please wait a moment, I'll go in and tell you. ”

Zhou Rong ignored him, but just stopped Zhao Yu from entering. Zhao Yu glared at him fiercely and said: "I said Lord Zhou, you are so old, you will look at some face, our Deng Guiren is the emperor's favorite person, do you think I will kill the king?" How to make it like a great enemy. ”

Zhou Rong didn't speak either. Just hold out your hand and don't let her in. Zhao Yu just waited for a wry smile and waited outside. After a while, Che Qing came out and said, "Jade girl, you go in, the emperor is receiving the three adults, if you have anything to say, you will leave." ”

Zhao Yu nodded and followed him in. Seeing Liu Zhao saluted. Liu Zhao asked, "Zhao Yu." What is it? Is there anything wrong with Sui'er? ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not Niangniang who asked the slave maid to come to Your Majesty, Niangniang has been in the past few days. slept every day, the emperor knew about this, but the slave and maid suspected that the mother was sick or drugged. I haven't woken up until now. The slave was really anxious. ”

A hint of nervousness flashed in Liu Zhao's eyes, but there were three ministers present. didn't make a fuss, so he said, "Then ask the imperial doctor to show Sui'er!" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that the imperial doctors in the palace are all used to seeing common diseases. It's better to find a miracle doctor for Niangniang's illness, that is Lu Qingying, does the emperor still remember? ”

Liu Zhao nodded. "Okay, do you think it's better to call Lu Qingying. Just pass her into the palace, and then find her to enter the palace in the future, and let Sui'er give the order directly, no need to ask me again. ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Yu was very happy, withdrew from the Deyang Palace, and trotted to find Zuo Tianqi.

When Sui'er woke up, she didn't see Zhao Yu, but she still didn't feel awake, so she only stretched her arms lazily and called, "Sister Yu!" ”

I didn't see a sound for a long time, so I got off the bed and came to the door, but I saw that the shadow of the sun had slanted westward, and the glow of the sky covered the courtyard with a layer of pink color, like a dream, Sui'er leaned against the door, but saw Su Lan'er trotting over and said, "Niangniang woke up?" The slave maid will groom the mother. ”

Sui'er said in a lazy voice: "What about Sister Yu?" Why don't you see her? I slept so long today? It's getting dark. ”

"Mother, are you feeling sleepy? But what else does it feel uncomfortable about? Su Lan'er asked cautiously.

Sui'er shook her head, "I just feel sleepy, I always want to sleep on the couch, by the way, the emperor is coming soon, you can freshen up the palace!" ”

After washing her face here, when Su Lan'er combed her hair, Sui'er yawned again, and her eyes became blurred again.

After freshening up, it was time to prepare dinner, Sui'er tied her hands and walked around the courtyard, talking to Xin'er: "Sister Xin'er, the palace only lets a group of women of age out of the palace in the first month, right?" ”

"Yes, the slave is twenty-five years old, and she can go out in the first month of next year." Xin'er took a robe and replied after Sui'er.

"I don't know what I'll be like when I'm twenty-five. Do you have any requirements? If you want to get married, tell Sui'er, I will prepare a dowry for you. ”

Xin'er smiled: "Niangniang, you have to marry someone when you go out, but at such an old age, I don't know who I can marry." The slaves and maids heard that the married ones were all old widowers, and if they thought about it, they wouldn't look good! ”

Sui'er looked at her, and saw that Xin'er had a graceful figure, a pair of big eyes on her delicate melon seed face, and she was also a peerless beauty, so she couldn't help but sigh, but at this time, she heard a voice behind her: "Niang Niang is so interested, but at this time she is walking in the courtyard?" ”

This voice was very familiar, so I looked back and saw Lu Qingying wearing a light green straight skirt, reflected in the glow like a hibiscus out of the water, she screamed with joy, rushed over and took her hand, "Qingying, how could it be you?" How did you get into the palace? ”

Zhao Yu said in the back: "I went to invite Qing Ying into the palace." ”

Sui'er didn't care why Zhao Yu invited Sakura into the palace, but just took her hand and said, "Come into the palace with me, the night breeze in autumn is cool, you still haven't changed, and you are still as beautiful as before." I have a lot of things to ask you, a lot to say, Qingying, I miss you so much. ”

Sui'er had never been happy, so that everyone couldn't help laughing, and when they saw them enter the hall, they closed the door of the palace.

Lu Qingying said: "Niangniang, it's okay to look at you, I and your Tianqi brother also miss you very much, but the palace gate is as deep as the sea, and it is hindered by the rules, so it is not good to come to Niangniang to say goodbye." ”

"Qing Ying, why do you call me a mother, if you and I still call me that, it's not too much of an outsider. You still call me Sui'er, and I still call you Qingying. ”

Sui'er pulled Qingying to look up and down, and her joy hung in the corners of her eyes. (To be continued)
