Chapter 240: A New Atmosphere
Bai Ying still couldn't be idle, and went to Shen Jiahe's palace early with the mentality of being scolded by Shen Jiahe, and the palace maid who served Shen Jiahe in the past two days hurriedly stepped forward to ask Andao: "Miss Bai Ying, why are you up?" ”
"I can't sleep, my body is fine, why don't I come to serve my mother, it's been hard for you these days." Bai Ying greeted several palace maids with a smile, and asked carefully about the situation in recent days.
Then he took over his previous work and was about to get busy, but one of the palace maids hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "If you let the queen mother see it, she will definitely lose her temper, so you better rest." ”
Before Bai Ying could answer, Shen Jiahe walked out of the inner hall with a yawn: "Who said that this palace is going to lose its temper, is this palace's temper so bad?" ”
"The queen forgives her sins!" The palace maids all knelt down and begged for mercy.
Bai Ying greeted Shen Jiahe with a smile: "They are afraid that you will feel sorry for the slave and the maid and be tired, but you see that the slave and maid are already well, and if you lie down, you will be wasted." ”
Shen Jiahe saw that her face was ruddy, and he knew that she was almost better, and he thought about letting her come back, after all, it was more customary for Bai Ying to serve herself: "Since you think it's okay, then come back, but if you feel uncomfortable, you still have to tell the palace in advance, and you are not allowed to hide it from the palace like before." ”
"The slave knows, the queen mother can rest assured."
It was almost lunch time, Shen Jiahe stretched out his head and looked outside, and said to himself: "Why haven't you come here today, haven't you been dragged by the court again!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the chief manager was outside to ask for a meeting, and Shen Jiahe pouted: "Yes, as soon as the chief manager comes, the emperor will not come." ”
Sure enough, the chief steward bowed down and said: "The emperor is discussing with Lord Shen in the imperial study, and I can't come to accompany the queen to lunch today, so the emperor specially sent the old slave to inform the queen mother." ”
"Okay, the palace knows, you go back and remember to stare at the emperor and Lord Shen and remember to eat." Shen Jiahe waved his hand and turned around and went to the dining room.
Lunch has been delivered, Shen Jiahe's taste has changed a lot compared to before, she can eat spicy food again recently, but the doctor said that for the sake of the child, the food is best to be light, Xiao Qi only makes one or two heavy dishes for her at each meal, and the rest is the same as before.
Bai Ying gave Shen Jiahe a dish of vegetables, and praised at the same time: "Xiao Qi has a heart, all of them are the dishes that the queen loves to eat, and she has studied the two dishes you said casually before." ”
Shen Jiahe took a bite of the iron plate potato chips, smiled and nodded, this is a modern practice, she chattered for a while, but she didn't expect Xiao Qi to remember it in her heart, she was brought out from King Kang's mansion, but she didn't think about it so much, she didn't expect to get a treasure.
Shen Jiahe was about to rest after lunch, Bai Ying folded her quilt, and put down the layers of curtains, then sat outside and took out her needlework.
The afternoon sun came in through the window, shining on the brocade in Bai Ying's hand, she tilted her head and squinted slightly, the feeling of stepping into Huangquan Road with one foot was gone, and now everything seemed to be new, with the unique warm taste of spring.
Just after embroidering the tiger's facial features, Bai Ying looked at the dripping leaks in the house, and calculated that she was about to wake up Shen Jiahe, so she hurriedly put away the needlework.
got up and went outside the door to ask the little palace maid who was guarding: "Is the queen's medicine ready?" Send it over first to cool it, and when the mother wakes up, you can drink it directly. ”
The little palace maid blessed her body: "It's already served, Miss Bai Ying just wait." ”
The little palace maid who went to serve the medicine as she spoke had already returned, and Bai Ying took the medicine and put it on the coffee table to cool it, and then lifted the layers of curtains to wake up Shen Jiahe.
After being busy for nearly a day, Pei Yuan finally came back before dinner, and while he served soup to Shen Jiahe, he chatted with her about today's affairs in the imperial study: "I discussed with your two brothers, preparing to disarm in a few months, maybe it will be chaotic for a while." ”
Shen Jiahe nodded, and felt that there was no suggestion for him, she was bored in this harem all day long, and she didn't know much about the political affairs of the previous dynasty, so she said: "You can just watch and do these things, don't tell me everything." ”
Pei Yuan said with a smile: "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't feel at ease at that time, so I'll give you a reassurance in advance." "Actually, I was afraid that she would be too bored in this harem, so I wanted to talk to her about things outside.
When he went to bed at night, Pei Yuan looked at Shen Jiahe's already big belly, and suddenly felt a little scared, if he didn't pay attention to it reflexively at night, he was afraid that he would hit her stomach, and it would be terrible at that time.
He instructed the palace people to set up another small couch in the room, but he was tall, and it looked really funny to shrink on it, Shen Jiahe couldn't help but laugh and said: "If the outside world sees the emperor who is high and high and is forced to do this by me, I am afraid that I will say that I am the demon queen." ”
Pei Yuan stretched his leg and hit the edge of the couch, and laughed: "It's not for the child, it has nothing to do with you, hurry up and sleep!" ”
When the acacia near the city wall of the palace is full of new leaves, Bai Ying's tiger head hat has been completed, and it shines in the sun, which is particularly cute.
Now that the body is fully recovered, the tonic medicine that is drunk every day can also be stopped, smelling the strong smell of medicine in the house, Bai Ying took the palace people to open all the doors and windows in the house, and then took advantage of the good sun to move all the furnishings inside to the yard to dry.
In the process of moving things, Bai Ying found a mahogany box with various colored glass inlays on it, and a palace person next to him saw it and hurriedly asked: "Miss Bai Ying, this box is really beautiful!" Where did it come from? ”
Bai Ying wiped the dust on it with her sleeve and smiled: "It was given to me by the housekeeper in the palace before." "It was the box of Father-in-law Fu before, he used to put some gadgets rewarded by the master, and later learned that Bai Ying was going to enter the palace, and he was afraid that she would need flowers in the palace, so he gave her the box and even things.
After a long time of resignation, he couldn't resist the old man, Bai Ying reluctantly accepted it, but when he left, he put the contents of the box under the pillow of Father-in-law Fu, but took the box away, and he still had to go back to see if he was okay when he was free.
She put her tiger head hat in the box, and gave it away when the little prince was born, and the queen mother would definitely like it.
After finishing the work, he instructed a small palace person to watch the drying things in the yard, and he went to Shen Jiahe to wait for her to get up and wash, originally she didn't have to come to these little things in person, but Shen Jiahe was used to her serving, and she herself was used to doing these little things herself.
Bai Ying inserted the last pearl hairpin for Shen Jiahe and asked, "Does the queen want to use it for breakfast?" The slave maid let people go in advance. ”
"It's a good weather today, let's put it in the pavilion outside, you have someone bring the snowball over, and the palace will eat with it."
The cat has gained a lot of weight compared to before, but Shen Jiahe has a big belly now, and he doesn't dare to hold the snowball anymore, so as not to have any accidents.
She was lying on the table and drinking porridge, and Snowball was lying at her feet eating a bowl of special cat food, mixed with various meats, and she was eating with relish at the moment.
Shen Jiahe also felt an appetite when he looked at it, drinking a bowl of porridge didn't count, and he also ate two xiaolongbao and a spring roll, Bai Ying said with a smile: "If I had known that Xueqiu was eating like this, I should have brought it over earlier, and let Xueqiu accompany the queen mother at every meal in the future." ”
After breakfast, Bai Ying helped Shen Jiahe to walk around the garden, and Shen Jiahe couldn't help but wonder: "When it comes to spring, I think of the poem "Yongliu", and I didn't pay attention to it before, could it be that the willow trees in this garden were also ordered by the emperor to pull them out?" ”
Bai Ying smiled: "That's not true, there are no willow trees in this courtyard, the emperor is worried that you are allergic, so he deliberately chose to be your palace here, and then he lived for a long time, so he dealt with the willows in other places, but you don't go out much, and you don't know the movement outside." ”
Speaking of this, Shen Jiahe remembered the veil that Pei Yuan helped him make. Then he instructed Bai Yingdao: "You go and get the veil from the palace, and put it in those clothes in the palace." ”
"The slave remembers, it was still cleaned up by the slave and maid, and the mother will wait a while, and the slave and maid will come when they go." Bai Ying smiled and turned to leave.
When Bai Ying took the veil, Pei Yuan was also coming from the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and when he saw the thing in Bai Ying's hand, he reached out and took it and looked at it: "This look is a little old, it's better to make you two more good pieces." ”
Shen Jiahe also leaned in to take a look, his eyes were indeed not as bright as at the beginning, but they were already light-colored, but there was no hindrance, "Even if you don't use this, it's better to keep it as a souvenir." ”
Pei Yuangang instructed the palace people around him to go to the previous embroidery girl and make two more as they were, and when he heard Shen Jiahe's words, he smiled and said: "It's just an old veil, it's not worth keeping, and it's not a particularly valuable material, but the herbs smoked on it are more practical. ”
Bai Ying was about to take it and throw it away, but Shen Jiahe handed her the veil and instructed: "Wash it well, and then help the palace put it away, don't listen to your emperor." ”
Pei Yuan smiled and didn't say anything more, and instead mentioned the draft: "Now that the Flower Dynasty Festival is coming, the draft is just around the corner, are you ready?" ”
Shen Jiahe leaned on the rattan chair, the warm sun was shining, and he squinted his eyes comfortably like a snowball: "You don't have to prepare anything, it's good to start as usual, I was all focused on Bai Ying at the beginning, but now no one needs me to worry about it, and the small draft can't be difficult for me." ”
In this way, Pei Yuan was relieved, he didn't care about the draft, if he wasn't afraid that Shen Jiahe would have made a mistake with a big belly, he wouldn't have bothered to ask.
All the show girls outside the palace who participated in the final palace selection were actively preparing on their own initiative or under dures, but Su Zhiluo could only keep complaining in the room alone.
After Mrs. Su fainted last time, even if she was angry in her heart, she didn't dare to anger her mother, otherwise her father would definitely punish her for kneeling in the ancestral hall, so now she can only close the door tightly and be angry alone.
From the very beginning, she and Mrs. Su were extremely confident in her entry into the palace, and before the draft process reached the last step, she prepared the best materials for you early, and began to ask the embroidery girl to sew new clothes for you as soon as the paperwork came.
It's a pity that she can't use it now, she looked at the water-red brocade in front of her, and felt that the color seemed to be laughing at herself, and her brain was hot, so she went to the sewing basket and took a pair of scissors out.
In front of the brocade, it was a random cut, as if it was not the cut brocade, but the face of the queen's mother, the unfairness of the draft to herself, and the document that informed her that she had failed.
There was a banging knock on the door outside the door, Su Zhiluo looked at the pile of rags in front of her and was stunned, and only panicked after hearing Mrs. Su's voice outside, if her mother saw it, Bacheng would have her ears calloused again.
She hurriedly stuffed the pile of rags under the bed, and then straightened her clothes to open the door: "Why did my mother come over at this time?" ”
Mrs. Su squinted at her: "What?" I shouldn't have come here, what are you rubbing in there, and only open the door at this time. As she spoke, she saw the future on the ground and the scissors she had put away.
Then she looked at Su Zhiluo suspiciously, but before she could explain clearly, Mrs. Su had already found the pile of rags under the bed, she pulled it all out, and shouted screamingly: "Su Zhiluo, you ruined girl, this is ten taels of silver and a foot of brocade!" ”
