Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue are both clever people with raised eyebrows, so naturally they will not get to the bottom of it, and they will respond with a smile.

Fengyi Hall is the bedroom of Queen Gu, in addition to the main hall and side hall, there are at least dozens of bedrooms that can live in people.

Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue went to settle with the female official. The lady in law specially arranged an adjacent bedroom for the two of them, and it was very convenient for them to talk to each other every day. Seeing that the two of them only brought two maids into the palace, the female official assigned a few palace maids to serve.

This series of arrangements was well organized, and the palace maids all respectfully listened to the instructions of the female official, which showed the status of the female official in the Fengyi Palace.

After being settled, the female officer accompanied the two of them to gossip for a while before retiring.

Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and then smiled at each other. The two were originally cousins, and now they have become concubines, although they don't have much contact, they also have some affection. Now that they are entering the palace together to accompany Queen Gu, they will inevitably take care of each other in and out together in the coming days. Between the eyes, there is a tacit understanding.

Zhang Yue smiled and tentatively said: "Sister-in-law, the queen's condition has become increasingly serious, how could she suddenly summon the two of us into the palace at this time?" ”

Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed slightly, and she replied ominously: "I don't know much about this. However, I estimated that the queen mother was sick and lonely, so I summoned the two of us into the palace to talk to her to relieve her boredom. ”

Zhang Yue thought for a while and smiled: "What you said is reasonable." Maybe most of the queen's illness is caused by depression. Someone to accompany you to talk and relieve your boredom, maybe the illness can get better faster. ”

Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "What you said is that maybe the queen mother will get better soon." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes. He immediately smiled and nodded.

They are all smart people, and there are some things that don't need to be said thoroughly. With only a few vague and subtle hints, Zhang Yue faintly guessed the truth about entering the palace. The surprise in my heart goes without saying. I only felt that the woman in front of me who was smiling gently suddenly became a little mysterious.

After a moment of gossip, the two went back to the house to rest.

It was getting dark, and soon it was unitary time. Empress Gu finally ordered the palace maid to summon Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue to talk.

In the past, when I summoned my mother's family, it was either in the magnificent main hall or in the spacious and tidy side hall. This time, probably considering that she would often summon the two of them to accompany her in the future, Queen Gu simply met the two of them in the ear room of her daily life.

It's the hottest month, and even in the evening, the air is a bit hot. But. As soon as you enter the ear room, there is a burst of cool air rushing towards you, which makes people feel refreshed.

Two basins of ice were placed in the ear room, and a palace maid stood by the basin and gently fanned it with a large fan, which is how the refreshing cool breeze came. Although the air conditioning is worse than that of later generations, it is definitely a luxury to have such a enjoyment in such a hot season.

Empress Gu has obviously made up. I also applied a little fat powder, but my complexion was not good-looking, and my cheeks were also thin. The dress worn on the body also looks loose.

"I've seen the Queen Mother!" Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue saluted together.

Queen Gu has been ill for a long time, and her spirit is far worse than before. couldn't put on a high queen shelf, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, you don't need so many courtesies." See you every day in the future. There is no need to be overly particular about these false courtesies. Just call me aunt in private. ”

Zhang Yue was stunned, and Ye Qinglan had already responded with a smile: "That's the case." The nephew and daughter-in-law are respectful and do not obey their fate. The attitude is natural, and it reveals a little intimacy. It's as simple as that. The relationship between the two sides immediately became much closer, and the atmosphere seemed to be harmonious.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but glance at Ye Qinglan, and secretly admired in his heart. Obviously, he is two years younger than himself, but his skill in dealing with it is better than his own......

There was a smile in Queen Gu's eyes, and she kindly beckoned the two of them to sit beside her. Then casually asked about the daily life of the two in the Dingguo Mansion.

Zhang Yue is two years older, but when it comes to ranking, it is Ye Qinglan who takes the lead. Such a question, Ye Qinglan can naturally answer it first. However, Ye Qinglan didn't speak, just smiled and glanced at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue smiled and opened her mouth first: "The trivial affairs in the house are all taken care of by the eldest aunt, and the nephew and daughter-in-law only need to control the people in the Yuxuan on weekdays, and they have a lot of free time, so they often go to Shunyi Hall to talk to their grandmother......"

Actually, it really doesn't matter who speaks first. But Ye Qinglan's small move really makes people feel heartwarming.

Empress Gu listened to these homely gossip, and her demeanor gradually relaxed.

Ye Qinglan took advantage of this time to look at Queen Gu carefully.

The Gu family actually has a good look. Gu Xinian, Gu Xiyu's brothers and sisters are extremely outstanding and dazzling, Gu Hong and Gu Bo brothers are both handsome, elegant and dignified, although Queen Gu is over forty years old, she can be maintained very well, and she is also a beautiful middle-aged lady. However, he has been sick for the past two months, his face is thin and haggard, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes are undoubtedly exposed, showing a little old and sick. I have been trying my best to squeeze a gentle smile when I speak, but I still can't avoid the occasional trance flash.

This look also made Ye Qinglan have a preliminary judgment on Queen Gu's condition. Compared with the time when she entered the palace last month, Queen Gu's illness really became worse again. You have to get treatment as soon as possible......

Empress Gu looked at it casually, and just met Ye Qinglan's thoughtful gaze, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Yesterday, I received a letter from the Sun family, which was not written in detail, only saying that Ye Qinglan had a way to cure her illness. To be honest, she didn't believe much in these words, but she couldn't bear to disobey Sun's kindness. nodded and responded to the matter, and asked the female official Yue to take Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue into the palace.

It wasn't until this moment that she thought about it. Ye Qinglan is just a delicate woman born in an inner house, and she has never studied medicine, how can she be cured?

A slender palace maid reported softly: "Queen Qiyu, dinner is ready." ”

Empress Gu snorted, and smiled at Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue: "I don't have a good appetite these days, and I can't eat at night." I'm hungry with both of you here today! So saying, he stood up.

The palace maid on the side hurriedly leaned over and held Queen Gu's arm left and right. Looking at this familiar action, it is obvious that he has already done it. With two palace maids supporting her, Queen Gu's steps were finally a little sharper.

Zhang Yue looked secretly frightened, he always heard about Queen Gu's illness, and now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he knows that everyone's worries are not unreasonable.

Even the head of the noble family has a bunch of tedious affairs to deal with every day, and if she is sick for a long time, she always has to change the abbot to feed. What's more, Queen Gu is in charge of the Six Palaces for a while!

There are so many concubines and palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and someone has to ask about all the big and small things. Empress Gu is so ill, and the management of the affairs of the Six Palaces has to be handed over to Concubine Zheng Guifei to take over. In this way, even if she is the queen, she is in name only......

The dinner was very rich and exquisite. Queen Gu only ate a few bites, and then put her chopsticks aside. Seeing this, Zhang Yue hurriedly ate a few bites and said that he was full.

Ye Qinglan had no choice but to put aside her chopsticks and glanced at the table with a little regret. It's such a waste, many dishes have only been eaten in a few bites, and some have not even touched a single chopstick.

Empress Gu's eyebrows showed tiredness again. Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue retired together.

There are a few more palace maids waiting on the side, and their speech is not as casual as before. Rui Xue and Ruomei were both careful and cautious, silently waiting for Ye Qinglan to take a bath, and wrung out her hair for her.

"Young grandma, it's not too early, you should rest too." Ruixue whispered.

Ye Qinglan smiled faintly: "Wait a little longer!" ”

Rui Xue was stunned, but she didn't ask anything, just nodded, and went to make the bed with Ruomei.

Ye Qinglan waited for a cup of tea, and sure enough, she waited for the female official.

On the order of the queen, the female official came to ask Ye Qinglan to speak. She was also surprised in her heart, and her gaze at Ye Qinglan couldn't help but carry a little inquiry.

Ye Qinglan didn't know, and followed the female official to Queen Gu's bedroom with a calm expression.

Empress Gu's bedroom is spacious and gorgeous, and all kinds of exquisite and expensive furnishings are dizzying. But there is an indescribable coldness in this gorgeousness. Empress Gu had already taken off her makeup, and the tired and sickly look between her emaciated pale cheeks and expression could no longer be concealed, and it was undoubtedly revealed under the bright candlelight. Even his eyes were a little confused and wandering.

However, the moment Ye Qinglan came in, Queen Gu immediately cheered up, and her eyes were even a little sharp and keen.

This is a woman who is very vigilant and never takes others lightly!

This sentence quickly flashed in Ye Qinglan's mind, and the corners of her lips naturally raised: "Auntie, haven't you slept so late?" ”

This aunt made Queen Gu's face soften a little, and the scrutiny and vigilance also dispersed a little: "I slept too long during the day, but now I have some energy, so I specially called you to come over and talk." ”

Is it to speak, or do you want to get to the bottom of her?

Ye Qinglan smiled gently and calmly: "As long as my aunt doesn't think my nephew and daughter-in-law are boring, it means that my nephew and daughter-in-law are willing to talk overnight." ”

Queen Gu was amused and laughed dumbly, and glanced at the female official. The lady in law nodded lightly and commanded in a low voice, and all the palace maids retreated. The female officer also retreated and stayed outside the door.

In the gorgeous and deserted bedroom, only Empress Gu and Ye Qinglan were left.

Empress Gu glanced at Ye Qinglan a few times and asked slowly, "Can you really cure my illness?" ”

Ye Qinglan did not answer this question directly, but smiled faintly: "If my aunt believes in my nephew, my nephew is willing to give it a try." (To be continued......)
