A snowflake flipped back and forth in the cold wind, and finally fell on the bluestone bricks in front of the big red palace, and then was stepped on by the leather boots of the palace guards wearing red cloaks, the leather boots were raised, the snowflakes had been mixed with the dirty muddy water on the bluestone bricks, the neat footsteps of the guards, the sound of wiping the leather armor with weapons, echoed in the arched palace gate passage, two small firefighters in variegated robes hurriedly came from outside, the captain of the guards saw it, raised his chin and signaled, the guards stepped forward to investigate, and learned that it was Concubine Yang who sent out the palace to visit the little firefighter of King Huai, several guards stiffened their faces and asked, "Have you entered the other courtyard?" ”

"No, no, we just went to the post house and let people talk back."

"Well, is King Huai better?" The Captain of the Praetorian Guard asked.

The little flamemakers smiled and said straightly: "Much better, much better!" "What a blessing from our ancestors! King Huai's condition has improved, and he may be able to return to the palace soon, and they don't need to take this errand anymore!

The captain of the Praetorian Guard made another detailed inquiry before letting them enter the palace. However, I still reminded them to go back and bathe and change their clothes first, and then go to Concubine Yang to report back.

When the little flames were far away, the Praetorian Guard muttered, "I don't know why King Huai's luck is so good?" "Because of his illness, the impeachment of the imperial history cannot be ended, but the queen mother is really sick at this time! These days, the smell of medicine in the palace is strong, bitter and spicy, which makes everyone choke on tears and snot.

I really admire the queen mother, they can survive, but Concubine Mei and Concubine Yang heard that they have fallen.

The guards continued to patrol, but the little flames kept entering the Linhua Palace.

"How?"

"Back to Niangniang, Your Highness has improved, and I think I will be able to return to the capital in the near future." The little fireman knelt on the ground and replied loudly.

The hall was as warm as spring, and the slender jade hand was on the snow-white fox skin on the armrest, and Concubine Yang smiled lightly, "Really?" Go down and claim your reward! ”

The little firefighters saluted and exited the inner hall, and Concubine Yang said to the female officials beside her: "Is there any suspicion about the emperor?" The female officer hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Don't worry, Niangniang." Imperial Doctor Gao and Imperial Doctor Niu are both our people, and they have been reused by the emperor, how can the emperor be suspicious of what the two of them say? ”

Concubine Yang nodded. "My son has worked hard all the way, but those guys who are too busy to eat still have to pick his thorns, I'm really impatient!"

"It's just that your highness has to take bitter medicine for a few days." The female official's face was unbearable, but Concubine Yang sneered, "What is the point of taking a few days of bitter medicine, if he can't even bear these few days of suffering, he will have to suffer in the future." ”

As she was talking, a palace maid hurriedly entered, "Niangniang, Mrs. Fuyang Hou handed over the sign." I want to see you in the palace. ”

"What else is there to see. Got her back. Concubine Yang hated her parents for conniving at Yang Yanxi, and even more hated them for calculating King Huai's marriage, don't think she didn't know who caused the trouble when Concubine Huaiwang's side was born prematurely and had a slippery fetus.

That's her grandson! Isn't it the blood of the Yang family? Just to protect the eldest sister's daughter, for the eldest sister's status in her husband's family. Together with the Queen Mother, she gave Zhu Dehui the position of the sick concubine, and now that she is in a slightly better condition, she can't allow others to give birth before her?

The female official exchanged glances with several palace maids, bowed slightly to them, and one of the little palace maids took the order, while the female officials and the palace maids comforted Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang's face gradually softened. Speaking of which, the most humiliating thing is the Queen Mother, who made several plans to get the emperor to agree to Zhu Dehui as the main concubine and Yang Yanxi as the side concubine. I don't want to, Yang Yanxi ran away from marriage, and Zhu Dehui couldn't round the house after entering the door for more than a year! ”

Without a son-in-law, if you want to be made a prince, it will be very difficult! Concubine Yang actually wanted to get rid of Princess Huai. Isn't she frail and sickly? Just died of illness! How good it should be, but she is afraid, in addition to her now, if her mother and sister-in-law go to the Queen Mother to instigate something, wouldn't it be in vain? And whose daughter is this step-princess going to pick?

This time, she definitely has to pick one that will help her son!

In the Cihe Palace, the Queen Mother tossed and turned and slept very unsteadily, Concubine Lan sat on the chair by the wall, I don't know what she was thinking, the Queen sat on the edge of the bed, and from time to time took the cold cloth handed by the palace maid to dress the Queen Mother's forehead, a small palace maid probed in, and whispered a few words to the palace maid by the door, the palace maid walked to the queen's side and whispered, and the queen laughed, "It's really good!" The Queen Mother must be happy when she finds out. ”

"What's the matter?" The Queen Mother's voice was hoarse, and her cloudy eyes were staring at the queen's youthful face.

"King Huai's condition has improved, and I think I will be able to come back soon."

"Amitabha, Buddha bless." Concubine Lan listened to the straight road on the side.

The queen mother motioned to the palace maid to help her sit up, this pretending to be sick is also a technical job! If you lie down for a long time, your whole body will ache and muscles, "I just heard from you, King Huai's illness is cured?" ”

"Yes! It's really blessed by our ancestors. The queen smiled and feasted, but the ancestor meant something, the queen mother was weak-hearted, her eyes were evasive, and she didn't see the glance that the queen exchanged with Concubine Lan, "When will you return to the palace?" ”

"Queen Mother, don't worry! King Huai has worked hard all the way, and he is very sick, I heard that many palace maids and eunuchs around him have died! Even the orphan girl brought back from Pingzhou went, alas! What a pity! ”

"But no, I heard that the two orphan girls are filial daughters, the whole family is penniless, so they have to sell themselves to bury their families, we Huaiwang is a kind-hearted person, so let people help them bury their families and take them back to Beijing, I didn't expect them to be blessed! Seeing that the wealth and glory are inexhaustible, he was just one step away from flying on the branches as a phoenix, but he got such an illness and went! ”

The queen shook her head and sighed, but the queen mother frowned when she heard it, "Are these two orphan girls sick first?" ”

"Seems to be, right?" The queen asked Concubine Lan, but Concubine Lan shook her head and said I don't know, the queen mother's complexion sank, and her heart said Could it be that King Huai is not pretending to be sick, but really sick? The Queen Mother turned her head to find her confidant Su Female Official, and saw that she was standing behind the queen, shaking her head secretly at herself, and then snorting at the queen and Concubine Lan.

The queen and others called the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, the queen mother was originally unwilling, and the queen said worriedly: "Please let the queen mother be wronged and let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse!" It is also good to reassure the emperor and King Huai and their brothers. ”

Offering the emperor and King Huai, the queen mother had to stretch out her hand to let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse, and came to the conclusion that the queen mother's phoenix body was gradually calm, and the queen led the concubines to retire.

The Queen Mother slammed her hammer on the bed and said angrily: "This unlucky, this kind of slut of unknown origin, he just took it away?" ”

The palace maids comforted one after another, "Your Highness is still young, I'm afraid I haven't thought about it so much." ”

"Didn't the queen say it? Our Highness is kind. ”

"Go check it out for me. Is he really sick or fake? ”

If you want Lady Su to say, it doesn't matter if you are really sick or fake, anyway, if you avoid the impeachment of the imperial history, why do you care so much? It's because of King Huai's illness. Most of the people in the Tongzhou Post House were transferred to wait, so that the post house was understaffed, which caused officials at all levels to report on their work in Beijing to complain, but this kind of thing, even if the Queen Mother knew, she would not take it to heart, so she didn't have to tell her old man!

As soon as Mrs. Fan returned to Beijing, she was busy, the Ding family had a house in Beijing, and the housekeepers in charge of staying behind had already sorted it out after receiving the notice. As soon as the three old brothers arrived, they could move in.

It's the Fan Mansion that is busy! Mrs. Fan helped the two concubines tidy up the yard, and opened a warehouse for them to take the furniture and ornaments they wanted, and they were busy for several days before they settled down.

On this day, Mrs. Fan returned to the room after finishing her housework. Mama Ding greeted her with a smile on her face, "Madam, the sixth girl has sent a letter." ”

"Oops! It's really fast. ”

Mrs. Fan took the letter, and after reading it quickly, she sighed heavily and showed the letter to Mama Ding. Mama Ding read the letter over and over again, and couldn't help but wonder why Madame sighed.

"The fourteen girls in the big house are picking thorns everywhere. I'm afraid that Ah Zhao will be bullied by her. ”

Mama Ding laughed, "My girl! Our six girls are smart, so we won't be bullied. You can rest assured! ”

"Mama, you don't know, I always feel that the current Ah Zhao is on guard against everyone. looks at people who seem to be in front of you, and looks very affectionate with you, but in fact, she doesn't let anyone see her sincerity at all. ”

Mama Ding scratched her head, not quite understanding what Mrs. Fan said. Mrs. Fan didn't think she would understand, so she put it aside after mentioning it slightly, and asked about Fan Ansong's brothers and sisters instead.

"The two of them don't even say a word now!" Mama Ding was a little gloating, "The third girl went to find the third young master and wanted to question the old lady, but the third young master hid in the house and ignored her, she shouted and screamed outside, and smashed things, but the third young master didn't come out to see her, she was angry, so she went back." ”

"Ansong is not in the house?" Fan Ansong used to listen to Fan Anlan very much, if Aunt Zhou had an accident, could he hide from her?

"Yes, Holly took the third young master away from another door, the third girl didn't know, saying that he was unfilial, ruthless, and scolded once, and the scolding was ugly! I really don't know where the third girl learned these cursed words. Mama Ding looked inexplicable, but it amused Mrs. Fan.

"After the Zhou family went, Fan Ansong went to incense her?"

"No, the old lady originally confessed to seal her house, and all the waiters in her house were sent to Zhuangzi, when the old slave went to seal the house, Aunt Fang also used the excuse to follow up, those photos are fine, look at those good things, you don't know, her eyes! It's going to shine! ”

Mrs. Fan covered her mouth and smiled, "When you went, you didn't let anyone talk to Fan Anlan?" ”

"How can you! Naturally, the little maid was sent to ventilate and report the news, you don't know, as soon as the third girl came, she rushed into Aunt Fang's arms, snort! To say that this Aunt Fang's skills are really good, she has only worked hard for a while, but she has already hidden Aunt Zhou's favorite emerald crested hairpin, white jade peony hairpin and a set of red treasure head noodles in her arms! ”

Mama Ding admired Aunt Fang's skills and vision, she didn't take those golden heads and jewelry, but she picked the most valuable one in Aunt Zhou's mirror, and she shot quickly and accurately, fortunately, the maid she sent to the sixth girl's side was not as powerful as her, otherwise the baby from the sixth girl would not have suffered.

"All her stuff was sold? Don't leave a few things for the children to think about? ”

"The eldest master didn't allow it, and the third young master didn't dare to ask for it, but the three girls made a fuss, and the old lady made the decision to divide Aunt Zhou's jewelry into two, half for the third girl, half for the third young grandmother, and the third young grandmother was obedient, picked a few of them, and added makeup to the second girl."

Speaking of Fan Anju, Mrs. Fan couldn't help but ask, "Is her marriage decided?" There are no more problems on the man's side, right? ”

Mama Ding shook her head, "Listening to the old lady's meaning, it seems that she is planning to withdraw from the marriage, I heard that the man's aunt and cousin Jizhu had a secret knot, and a pink sedan chair was quietly carried into the house last month." ”
