sutra

It was still dark, with a few hints of morning light. Fanghe hooked up the layers of woven gold soft tents and extinguished the burning sleeping incense. Commanding the palace maid to open the doors and windows of the warm pavilion to ventilate. The Queen Mother is old and has always slept lightly, if it weren't for the long time she tossed yesterday, I'm afraid she would have woken up earlier.

Fanghe combed the queen mother's hair in a bun gently, and put a double phoenix pattern gilt silver hairpin on the hairpin, she has been with the queen mother for many years, and has accompanied the queen mother step by step from Zhaoyi to today's position. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life of nine deaths. Now she has a transcendent status in the harem, and whoever sees her is respectful. Looking at the Queen Mother's gray hair, the corners of her eyes are deep ravines. I couldn't help but stop the movements in my hand, and memories came flooding back.

"Fanghe? Fanghe? The Queen Mother called softly, watching Fanghe shake like a soul. Don't be annoyed, "What's wrong, the soul can't give up"

"Niangniang forgives her sins, I think it's because the slave is old, and from time to time I get distracted, and I think of the old days"

"The old days?" The Queen Mother chewed these words slowly, "It's just the days when she was humiliated, she spoke softly, and she had to rely on her to live with her breath, which is very memorable."

Fang He smiled, she knew the knot in the queen mother's heart, so she diverted the conversation, "Now that King Jin has returned to Beijing, do you like him very much?" ”

"Speaking of this, the mourning family is annoying, you say, is this emperor iron-hearted to do the right thing with the mourning family? Don't you look down on his mother's family like this?" the Queen Mother slammed her snuffbox on the red willow makeup table.

Fanghe didn't dare to take it anymore, and appeased the Queen Mother, "You pay attention, don't kowtow"

The queen mother seemed to have opened the chatterbox, and she couldn't stop, "The queen is the wooden character again, no wonder the emperor looks down on her, the prince is interested, married Ayu, but who thinks, the emperor is more and more suspicious of the prince, these two have been a few years, and they don't add a grandson to the mourning family"

"Isn't it true that the King of England didn't marry a concubine, and most of our Han clan are outstanding women," Fang He said meaningfully.

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, "Concubine Shu is not stupid, she thinks that she is the emperor's interpretation flower, I'm afraid she won't agree"

"You don't have to worry too much, who can say for sure what will happen in the future"

"yes? Empress Wen, who was invincible back then, relied on the support of the first emperor, how arrogant and domineering, and what a beautiful and extremely popular minister the Zheng family was. As soon as her niece was born, she was named the lord of Chang'an, many courtesies, and even above the princess, I still have to please a stinking hairy girl" Speaking of this, she was aggrieved and could hardly speak. I haven't seen which dynasty or generation, and the descendants regard it as their own family.

"And now? The trees fell and scattered, the Zheng family withered, and only the sick-ridden prince of King An's mansion remained, and the county lord who no one dared to marry in the imperial capital" Fang He smiled and said.

The Queen Mother also smiled, "Wait a minute, you personally take a few snacks and send them to King Jin's bedroom, just say what the mourning family said, let him relieve his fatigue well, and don't use it to ask for peace."

"You want to?"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "The emperor is also suspicious, and he is really worried about King Jin's younger brother."

As if remembering something, the Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly, "Back then, I was also sorry for him."

Fang He naturally knew what happened back then, retired and went down to prepare.

When King Jin got up, Fang He was sitting in the flower hall drinking the third cup of tea. hurriedly stepped forward to confess, Fanghe smiled kindly, passed on the queen mother's intentions, and did not forget to tell King Jin to sleep for a while. King Jin responded gently, handed a stack of Buddhist scriptures to Fanghe, saying that he prayed for the queen mother in Qishan, and hoped that the queen mother would not dislike it, Fanghe stared at the high pile of paper, a little surprised, some of those papers have been slightly yellow, at a glance it is some years, the handwriting is round, neat, enough to see the intentions of the person who wrote. immediately expressed that the Queen Mother would be very relieved to see it. After inquiring about King Jin's eating habits in detail, after the work and rest time, Fang He left satisfied.

Chickweed slowly mentioned words in a landscape painting, and a faint apricot haze was smoked in the warm pavilion. This incense is complex to make, and the agarwood is cut into small cubes with Qi Nan. Tulips are dried and powdered with their rhizomes, rosin, gardenias, and dogwoods, all dried and finely powdered. Arborvitae leaves fresh with mash and with an appropriate amount of honey. Mix the mud with honey and arborvitae leaves into the fine powder of tulips, rosin, gardenias, and dogwood seeds, and press them into fragrant cakes, and the two sides are covered with small squares of Qi Nan incense. It takes a long time, and it doesn't smell greasy at all. On the contrary, the longer it lasts, the fresher the taste. If you go into the depths of the cloud forest, it makes people feel happy.

Chickweed carefully lifted the last word and carefully blew the ink that had not dried. Satisfied with the look. Pondering where to hang.

It was only two days after King Jin returned to Beijing, and the rumors flew to every corner of the imperial capital. Chickweed is very puzzled, according to common sense, for the sake of fame, the king of Jin also said the past, but now this fire oil cooking posture, even the queen mother is also involved. If she didn't know. I almost suspected that King Jin was the illegitimate son of Jinshang. When things go wrong, there must be demons. I don't know what King Jin got in exchange for this wealth and wealth, and he can't stand it.
