Ling Xi was wandering in the imperial garden, and sure enough, the August sun was extremely hot, and after a while, fine sweat oozed from Ling Xi's forehead. She didn't want to be exposed to the sun in this imperial garden, who called Zhao Xinyue In the past few months, she went to Qingfeng Garden every three or five times, crying with a handful of snot and tears, just to say that she had offended Feng Yingying before, and Xiang Hongxuan's love for her was indifferent, she didn't know what to do in the future, and now she wants Ling Xi to carry her.

Once Ling Xi pitied Zhao Xinyue very much, that was because Zhao Xinyue lost her son late at night in winter, Ling Xi can still remember Zhao Xinyue's mournful wail, but since Zhao Xinyue and Xiao Xiangxiang calculated Feng Yingying, Ling Xi understood that Zhao Xinyue was already in the harem and was corrupted by resentment, if it weren't for Zhao Xinyue's painful loss of a son, Ling Xi didn't want to deal with her at all.

And where is the queen in the harem now, she still has the final say, who Xiang Hongxuan favors, it is not something she can control, plus Zhao Xinyue has been close to Xiao Xiangxiang after all, Ling Xi has to guard against it, so Ling Xi simply hides out, who knows if this is another calculation by Xiao Xiangxiang and Zhao Xinyue.

Ling Xi, who had just walked to the pavilion, suddenly came from the tip of his nose with a fragrance, like a faint smell of green tea, which made people feel a lot more refreshed in this hot summer. Ling Xi slowly walked into the pavilion following the aroma, and saw Xue Duyan cooking tea in the pavilion.

Streams of heat surround Xue Duyan's body, but it makes people feel extraordinarily beautiful, especially in this faint fragrance of tea, Xue Duyan is like a fairy in the world.

Ling Xi slowly approached Xue Duyan and said, "I didn't expect Xue Meiren to cook tea. ”

After Xue Duyan glanced up at Ling Xi, she smiled, continued to lower her head to make tea, and said without panic: "The queen mother came at the right time, the pot of tea is just cold, and it is just in the entrance." ”

Saying that, Xue Duyan respectfully offered Ling Xi a cup of green tea, Ling Xi looked at the pale green tea soup, in this hot summer, it should be very refreshing. Qin'er took the tea bowl from Xue Duyan's hand, she carefully took out the spoon, tried the tea, and handed it to Ling Xi respectfully after being fine.

After Ling Xi took a sip of this tea soup, his heart was really cooler, and it seemed that there was still some residual fragrance in his mouth, not like the aroma of green tea, Ling Xi asked with some curiosity: "It's so fragrant, Xue Meiren, is there something else added to this tea soup?" ”

Xue Duyan smiled faintly and said, "The concubine added some jasmine pollen, I don't know if the queen likes it?" ”

"Fresh, green tea soup with jasmine pollen, pleasant aroma, really different."

Ling Xi took another big sip of tea soup, it was indeed delicious, and in this summer, not only did two aromas wrap the tip of the tongue, but also a burst of refreshment in his heart.

"Niangniang likes it so much, the concubines are relieved, and the sisters in the harem should also like it." Xue Duyan said with a smile.

Ling Xi was a little surprised, although she thought that Xue Duyan had worked so hard to study the tea, it was definitely not for herself to taste it, but what she didn't expect was that Xue Duyan's new tea was not dedicated to Xiang Hongxuan.

"Xue Meiren, aren't you going to give your majesty such a good tea?" Ling Xi asked curiously.

Xue Duyan smiled indifferently, she was low

Lowering his head, he picked up the pu fan and fanned the pot of tea on the stove, and said quietly: "Your Majesty likes to drink, and only loves southern tribute tea, Your Majesty will not be interested in tasting this green tea soup." ”

Ling Xi couldn't help frowning slightly, from Xue Duyan's tone, Ling Xi couldn't hear any emotion, it seemed that Xue Duyan was talking about other people's business, as if she didn't care about Xiang Hongxuan's favor, so naturally she didn't bother to compete for favor. Ling Xi thought of the night in Pingcheng, maybe Xue Duyan didn't want to enter the palace from beginning to end, and now he just entered the palace to retire, but he was dead.

Aunt Yan strode into the pavilion, her anxious expression and sweating profusely seemed to tell Ling Xi that something big had happened again.

"Queen Mother, just now the imperial doctor came to report, Zhu Meiren is happy." Aunt Yan said eagerly.

"Really? Have you gone to inform Your Majesty? ”

Ling Xi glanced at Xue Duyan, who was still fiddling with the tea soup with her head down, not bothered at all by the news of Zhu Ruoyu's pregnancy, as if nothing was as important as the tea soup in her hand.

"Inform Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Concubine Xiao De have gone to visit Zhu Meiren, the imperial doctor said that Zhu Meiren is three months pregnant, and the fetus is stable, please rest assured."

While speaking, Xue Duyan took down a pot of tea soup from the stove, she slowly came to Ling Xi's side, and said, "Queen Mother, this pot of tea soup is also cooked, and when it is cold, you can eat it, and the concubine will retire first." ”

Ling Xi looked at the tea soup on the stone table, nodded, Xue Duyan left the Imperial Garden, Ling Xi looked at Xue Duyan's gradually disappearing figure, and couldn't help but sigh: "Don't fight or grab, the years are quiet." ”

Aunt Yan glanced at the tea set in the pavilion, sneered, and said: "Queen Mother, there is no woman in the harem who has a quiet life, and Xue Meiren just now is not that kind of woman, on such a hot day, do you need to go to the imperial garden to cook tea?" It's not that it's hard not to let people know that they are light and elegant. ”

"Aunt Yan is afraid that she doesn't have any prejudice against Xue Meiren, why can't she see Xue Meiren's fresh and indifferent appearance?" Ling Xi quipped.

Aunt Yan sighed and said: "My queen mother, it's not that the slave can't see it, it's the heart of this harem woman, she can't be fresh and indifferent, no matter how innocent and kind she used to be, she will be wiped out in this treacherous harem." ”

"Really? Aunt Yan, what about you? When did you lose yourself in this harem? Ling Xi asked.

Aunt Yan was stunned, Ling Xi's words made her think about it constantly, she couldn't help but bow her head and smile, and said, "Queen Mother, the slave maid is an insignificant person in the harem, does it matter whether it changes or doesn't change?" Maybe the slave maid was originally such a person, and she never changed. ”

In an instant, Ling Xi and Aunt Yan looked at each other, Ling Xi smiled slightly, and Aunt Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a small leather ball rolled to Ling Xi's feet, Ling Xi looked ahead, only to see Xiang Minghao swaying his small body towards her, Ling Xi walked quickly to Xiang Minghao's side, for fear that Xiang Minghao, who could just walk, would fall to the ground, and soon the palace people of Xiyan Palace also came to their side.

Ling Xi looked at Xiang Minghao in his arms sweating profusely, and hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief to Xiang Minghao

wiped the sweat off his forehead, but when Ling Xi's fingers touched the sweat on Xiang Minghao's forehead, Ling Xi's fingers were cold, this was a cold sweat, under the scorching heat of August, Xiang Minghao, a child who was less than 2 years old, was actually in a cold sweat, Ling Xi immediately inserted his hand into Xiang Minghao's back clothes, and sure enough, it was also cold.

"Queen Mother, accompany Yiyi and her younger brother to play ball."

Saying that, Xiang Yiyi jumped to Ling Xi's side, and plunged into Ling Xi's arms, Ling Xi held the two children in each hand, and I don't know why a sense of happiness arose.

Ling Xi looked at Xiang Yiyi, who was also sweating profusely, she handed Xiang Minghao into Aunt Yan's hands, she picked up the silk handkerchief to wipe off the sweat for Xiang Yiyi, Xiang Yiyi's sweat was much hotter, Ling Xi touched Xiang Yiyi's hands again, it was also hot, very like after playing in the hot summer. Ling Xi couldn't help frowning, how could the two children be so different?

At this time, Feng Yingying also slowly came to the Imperial Garden, from Feng Yingying's panting appearance, it can be seen that she is trotting all the way after the two children, it is obvious that the summer heat makes Feng Yingying a little unbearable.

"Queen Mother, you are also here, the princess of the southern kingdom is too naughty, and she is running around in the imperial garden with the second prince like a gust of wind, which makes the concubines worry about death."

Ling Xi glanced at Aunt Yan, and Aunt Yan immediately understood and handed Xiang Minghao into Feng Yingying's hands, and Feng Yingying's impatience just now seemed to be somewhat appeased.

"Concubine Shu, take the second prince back to Xiyan Palace, the second prince is sweaty, he needs to change his clothes, and the second prince's face is also a little bad, if he is sick, it will not be good." Ling Xi said worriedly.

Feng Yuying lowered her head and touched Xiang Minghao's forehead, and said sadly: "It's all to blame on the concubine, some time ago, the concubine slept heavily at night, and the second prince suffered some cold, and then the second prince's body was much weaker, and it was the concubine's mother who didn't do a good job that made the second prince suffer." ”

The more Feng Yingying spoke, the more excited she became, her eyes were rosy again, Ling Xi came to her side and gently comforted her: "Children are always easy to get sick, it's okay, let the imperial doctors take a look, and arrange more palace vigils in the future, the second prince will be fine soon." ”

Feng Yingying listened to Ling Xi's words, she was relieved, she looked up at the sun, and said: "It's almost noon, the concubine is going to take the second prince back to the palace and nurse him, and the concubine will retire first." ”

Ling Xi nodded, Feng Yiying also left the imperial garden with Xiang Yiyi and Xiang Minghao, Ling Xi frowned, and said, "Concubine Shu still breastfeeds the second prince herself?" ”

"Concubine Shuniang has always been worried about the nursing mother, so the second prince is still feeding the concubine herself." Aunt Yan replied.

The wrinkles between Ling Xi's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and she asked, "Have you checked?" Have you carefully checked all the supplies of the second prince? And the illness of the second prince, have you seen all those decoctions? Questions? ”

"All the food and utensils of the second prince and the princess of the southern kingdom have been carefully inspected by the slaves and maids, even the toys and things worn by the princess and the princess, slaves

The maid has also double-checked. Not only the slaves and maids, but also the imperial physician sent by His Majesty to the Fourth Courtyard checked all the supplies of the second prince and the princess at the same time, including the medicine used by the second prince when he was cold some time ago, and there was no problem. Aunt Yan said categorically.

The imperial doctors of the four courtyards examined together, and an experienced old palace person like Aunt Yan, it stands to reason that there should be no problems, but Ling Xi just felt that Xiang Minghao was too weak, a little different from the sturdy little body before, Ling Xi couldn't help but wonder, and said: "Aunt Yan, don't you think that the second prince is much weaker than when he was a child." ”

"Maybe it's because of this cold, it's hard to raise children, and the second prince may be a little weaker because he hasn't recovered yet."

Ling Xi slowly returned to the pavilion, she saw the pot of tea on the stone table, she picked it up gently, it was already cold, after Ling Xi took a sip of the tea soup, the coolness was born from the bottom of her heart, and it seemed that the doubts and irritability just now were swept away, she said with a deep taste: "Aunt Yan, you have to be more attentive, pay more attention to Xiyan Palace, but nothing can go wrong." ”

"The slave knows, is the mother going to visit Zhu Meiren?" Aunt Yan said cautiously.

Ling Xi held the tea bowl in his hand and watched the tea soup settle down little by little, this is the passage of time, and no one can stop it. She wants to have Xiao Xiangxiang by her side to Hongxuan, and she goes to visit Zhu Ruoyu at this time, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of things.

"Is Mrs. Zhao gone?"

"Let's go, in the past few months, Mrs. Zhao can't wait for her mother, so she just wanders around in Qingfeng Garden for a while, and then she will leave."

"Let's go back to Seifu-in." Ling Xi said faintly.
