It just so happened that someone from the palace brought the decoctioned medicine.

In the white porcelain medicine bowl, the medicinal juice contained is as black as ink, and it is extremely bitter to look at. Xu is because of this, there is a small porcelain plate on the side of the medicine bowl, and a few pieces of candied fruit are placed on the plate, and the sweet aroma spreads slightly in the air.

The medicine was sent to the imperial concubine, and the palace maid said, "Niangniang, it's time to use the medicine", while holding the medicine bowl, holding a spoon and scooping a spoonful of medicinal juice to her lips.

But the imperial concubine waved her hand to stop it, raised her slender hand to take the medicine bowl, put it to her lips, and drank the bitter medicinal juice in one gulp with a slight tilt of her head.

The palace maid who was accompanying her hurriedly sent a clean and soft snow-white cloth forward, and then followed by the candied fruit in a small porcelain plate.

The imperial concubine took the handkerchief and lightly nodded at the corner of her lips, but she didn't look at the plate of candied fruit, but said, "You don't need this, take it down." ”

The palace maid was stunned, answered, took the empty bowl and candied fruit, and retreated lightly.

The palace maid who led Xie Shuning to go inside spoke up: "Niangniang, Miss Xie Ba is here." ”

"Mother, Wan'an." Xie Shuning followed to the side and saluted.

The imperial concubine smiled and beckoned to her, summoned her to her, and allowed her to sit down on the edge of the bed, just like Ji Tongying. This was originally an arrogance, with Xie Shuning's identity, how could she sit on her bed, no matter how much face she had, she should have moved a chair to sit on the side of the bed. But since the imperial concubine had already said this, Xie Shuning also sat down with a smile and did not refuse.

"Niangniang has taken medicine, can you see how well she is doing?" Xie Shuning pretended not to know the cause of her illness, and only asked her body in a whisper.

The imperial concubine stretched out her hand and took her hand, looked at the thin cocoon on her fingers, and said in surprise: "You are so young, you even have a cocoon on your hand!" She answered Xie Shuning's question after she finished speaking. This medicine is not a sea fairy prescription, how can it be effective immediately after eating one or two potions, take it for a few more days, it will always be fine, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Xie Shuning listened carefully to her words and found that although there was some coarse between her eyebrows, her eyes were still clear, and her speech was not disordered, so there should be no major problems.

Even if she was defeated in a momentary anger, now it has begun to gradually improve.

She staggered the topic with a smile. "It's just a thin callus, don't tighten."

The imperial concubine gently rubbed the cocoon on her finger, shook her head and quipped: "Your mother must have treated you harshly on weekdays, otherwise you would have such a cocoon on your hands?" She pointed to the thin calluses on Xie Shuning's hands one by one, "This is a needle from time to time." to grind it out; This is a pen that has been taken too much, and it has been sharpened again. You're younger than Megumi. It can be seen how hard she usually works in her studies. ”

The woman of the family, the matter of female popularity, you can do it, you don't have to specialize.

After all, no young lady will really embroider a whole wedding dress by herself when it comes time to get married. Most of them still have to be sewn by the maids in the house.

Therefore, no young lady will leave such a cocoon on Xie Shuning's hands on her hands.

The more the imperial concubine looked at it, the more surprised she became, and she really suspected that the Song family was quite strict with her daughter at home.

Xie Shuning smiled sweetly and said, "Niangniang doesn't know." My mother doesn't even know how to hold a needle. ”

"But this palace knows." The imperial concubine also smiled, "When your mother was young, she was not very good at female red, and the hairpin in one hand was written very well, which was enviable." ”

Xie Shuning heard her praise the Song family, and she felt happy in her heart.

The two were talking and laughing in one place, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

She is thin and immature, but what she can say, the imperial concubine can listen to it comfortably, and every word can go to her heart. After coming and going, the imperial concubine was really as Ji Tongying expected, and she was much happier.

But Xie Shuning knew that as long as the imperial concubine's heart knot was not resolved for a day, it would be difficult to heal from this disease.

The moment she saw the imperial concubine taking the medicine, she knew that the crux of the imperial concubine's heart was indeed Emperor Su Fang.

The dark and bitter medicinal juice is drunk when you open your mouth, and there is not a drop left, and it seems that you don't feel bitter at all. This kind of thing, Xie Shuning did not do less in the past. Sometimes, the heart is so bitter that the tongue is really dull and numb, and it is difficult to taste the bitterness.

But any woman who has grown up pampered and has never suffered hardships, which one will not be bitter?

For them, medicine is no worse than heart.

But for another group of people, the heart has never been bitter, and medicine is the first suffering in the world.

The difference between these is something that people who have never encountered will never understand it in eternity, but those who have experienced it can perceive it at a glance.

In the evening, the night breeze blows slowly.

Ji Tongying and Xie Shuning accompanied the imperial concubine to dine.

It was porridge, and the two of them ate it together.

Halfway through the meal, someone outside spread that Emperor Su Fang was here. Before they could get up and take the driver, they had already strode through the door. Xie Shuning hadn't seen Emperor Su Fang for a long time, and when he saw the front, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

The Emperor Su Fang in front of her seemed to be very different from the one in her memory.

Obviously, his eyebrows and eyes are still the same, and his body shape has not changed, but he gives people a different feeling.

Being in a high position, the qi on his body is completely different from the past. There is also a sense of gloom and depression that Xie Shuning doesn't like very much, which is surprising.

She saw the ceremony, and secretly wondered if Emperor Su Fang's current situation was related to Concubine Shu. After she left the palace, she wrote a letter when she was still ill and asked people to send it to the Grange in the suburbs of Pingjiao to ask about Yun Zhan and the fine birds. Yun Zhan has seen a lot and understands a lot, and he knows a lot about the official history and rumors.

He really knew about the birds.

The bird itself is strange and weird, and it is used too much, of course, and there is no benefit.

Xie Shuning didn't dare to say what he found in the palace in the letter, so he only vaguely mentioned that he had read a record about fine birds in ancient books, saying that a woman used thin birds to seduce men, which was very strange, so she specially wrote a letter to ask him.

Yun Zhan really didn't ask too much, and wrote a long letter back to her.

first explained the possible origin of the fine bird, the earliest record, and then gave a few examples to analyze the things Xie Shuning asked in detail.

The letter concludes with the conclusion that if anyone uses a small bird to deceive a person, that person is tempted. Confused men will slowly become addicted. It's like sucking longevity ointment. Once you taste it, you will never forget it, and if you repeat it again and again, that person will fall into the infernal purgatory, and you will not be able to turn over.

At the end of the letter, Yun Zhan also marked a sentence in small characters - one day, if you lose the fine bird, the man who has been tempted by the fine bird will be extremely greedy for women, but it will be difficult to obtain the bliss of the past.

Xie Shuning still remembered Yuzi's flushed face when she inadvertently saw the contents of the letter on the side. Muttering about how Mr. Yun Zhan could write these things.

She was very grateful to Yun Zhan.

It was precisely because someone ignored whether she was male or female, how old she was, and only treated her as a disciple who sought knowledge, that she could know these things that she could not understand.

It was a great thing that her uncle could bring Yun Zhan to her.

Xie Shu stood quietly beside Ji Tongying. Quickly glanced at Emperor Su Fang.

The emperor in the Nine Dragons robe, his expression was too calm. His eyes showed a little restlessness.

Xie Shuning suddenly understood. Emperor Su Fang didn't care about the illness of the imperial concubine! But in his heart, it is clear that there is something he cares about, what is it?

She had no way to know Emperor Su Fang's thoughts, so she had to observe the expression of the imperial concubine.

Looking at it, she couldn't help but look at it.

Imperial Concubine. It seems that the truth is known. Her illness probably happened to her.

What is going on?

Could it be the matter of Concubine Shu?

Xie Shuning was still trying his best to think about it until Emperor Su Fang left.

Concubine Shu's matter was too suspicious for her not to think about it. But if it's a concubine. What is the emperor's idea?

She couldn't guess for a moment.

After Emperor Su Fang left, the imperial concubine also urged Ji Tongying to go back to Yong'an Palace to rest. When Ji Tongying saw Emperor Su Fang, her expression was stiff and her demeanor was not appropriate. Emperor Su Fang was a little displeased when he saw it, and said clearly that he wanted Ji Tongying not to mess around these days, and to start learning manners from the aunts in the palace tomorrow.

After all, it may not take two years for her to get married.

Ji Tongying knew that the imperial concubine was worried about her, and her mood was not good, so she returned to Yong'an Palace under Xie Shuning's comfort.

Xie Shuning stayed here and slept in the blue yarn cupboard of the imperial concubine's bedroom at night.

Everyone knows that this Miss Xie Ba has a lot of weight in the heart of the imperial concubine, comparable to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and everyone is more and more respectful in front of her.

When it came to the second watch, I don't know if it was because the palace was too big and the space was too quiet at night, Xie Shuning didn't feel sleepy at all.

She turned over, and suddenly heard the imperial concubine calling her, so she hurriedly lifted the quilt and draped over.

The maid came in, lit the lamp, carefully covered it with a cover, and withdrew again.

The fire is faint, not dazzling.

The imperial concubine leaned on the soft pillow at the head of the bed and looked at her with a gentle smile: "But homesick?" ”

In the yellow halo, the smile of the imperial concubine fell in Xie Shuning's eyes, inexplicably overlapping with the appearance of the Song family in the early years.

At that time, it was also such a night, she knew that the Song family was not happy in her heart, and she was afraid that the Song family would do something stupid one day, so she always tried every possible way to find all kinds of excuses to stay in the Song family's house and sleep with her.

She suddenly felt sour in her heart, shook her head, and said, "Niangniang, do you know about my mother and my father?" ”

The imperial concubine was stunned and sighed: "Your father and your mother, what's wrong?" ”

She vaguely knew something about the Xie family, but she always thought that the relationship between the Song family and Xie Yuanmao was good.

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the Song family will not climb Xie Yuanmao outside.

Xie Shuning's childish face looked blurry under the dim light, making it difficult to see clearly.

The imperial concubine looked at Xie Shuning, only to see that she seemed to smile bitterly, and then said: "In the mansion, there are Aunt Lin, Aunt Chen, and Aunt Dong...... I have known since I was a child that my father is not the only one who belongs to my mother. The mother also knew that she also felt pain because of it. Mother, what about you, do you also feel sad? ”

It stands to reason that she shouldn't have said such a thing.

Fortunately, the imperial concubine didn't think it was wrong, and after listening to it, she only said with red eyes: "How can you not be sad......" (to be continued......)
