"It's ridiculous, since ancient times, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, even if it is pampered and arrogant, the Internal Affairs Office should not be so strict about the concubine's mother, this palace can now open its eyes." Suddenly, the arrogant voice of a young woman behind Xiao Liangyun came, although the voice was high-pitched, it seemed to be somewhat familiar, Xiao Liangyun turned his head, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Your Highness the Princess!" Xiao Liangyu smiled happily, and then stepped forward directly to hold her hand.

I saw Lingxi wearing a royal blue skirt, a little powder, wearing a pair of pink chalcedony gold ring earrings, and a few blue butterfly hair ornaments dotted with stars on the crown of the flowing cloud bun.

"Why are you here princess."

"I was originally in the palace and my uncle's youngest son Yan'er played Keju, and then Yan'er was tired and ate sweets with his nurse in the palace, and then I thought that I hadn't come to play with you for a long time, and I was just going to go out of the palace to find you in your palace, when I heard a little palace maid who came over and said that the seventh princess entered the palace today, and the queen mother was angry in Kunning Palace. I originally thought that you made the Queen Mother angry, and hurriedly ran to Kunning Palace to intercede for you, but the Queen Mother smiled and told me that you two were chatting, she was angry with the third brother, and then the Queen Mother told me that you followed the Tai Doctor Zhang of the Tai Hospital, and then I asked the people from the Tai Hospital, and then I came here to find you by chance. ”

"Ahh When Lingxi was talking to Xiao Liangyun, he didn't say the main palace, but directly said me, which made Xiao Liangyun suddenly feel inexplicably cordial.

"Weichen see Princess Lingxi."

"Hey, there's no one else here, don't make these salutes with me in front of Hu'er."

"Then the princess will go in with me?" Xiao Liangyun asked.

"Of course I want to go in, I want to see how bad this internal affairs government can do!" Lingxi snorted coldly to express dissatisfaction, "Niangniang, that ......"

"It's okay, you can take the palace and Her Royal Highness the princess in, is Duan Niangniang's health better now?"

"Back to the princess, our mother's mother is an old problem, the old lady doctor said before, since our mother was young, her body bones are very weak, and she is often prone to some minor illnesses or something, and this pulse has a yin and yang deficiency from time to time."

The room was dim and dark, and there was even a feeling of coldness, and there were two coughs from time to time.

"Lotus Heart, Lotus Heart?"

The palace maid hurriedly responded, "The maid is here." ”

"What's the noise out there?"

"Niangniang, the princess and the princess have brought Imperial Doctor Zhang to check your body." Then Lianxin said softly, for fear of disturbing the woman who was shouting.

Through layers of plain curtains, I saw a woman with loose hair lying on the bed, there was no blood on her pale face, and if you look closely, she should have been very beautiful when she was young, after all, she was like a green bamboo swaying in summer, and her appearance was upright, but now her face is like a frosted eggplant, and there are a few wrinkles.

"Erchen, the seventh princess of the Helian Xiao clan, meet Duan Niangniang." As soon as Xiao Liangyun saw her, he felt that she was from a famous family, and he couldn't help but salute.

Concubine Duan raised her eyes and said with a hint of apology. "The palace is in good health, and I am sick in bed every day, Lianxin did not tell the princess and princess to come over today, and the palace did not dress up well to entertain everyone, it is rude to the palace, please understand."

"What do you say, Duan Niangniang, Lingxi had to end Niangniang's fate when she was young, so that Lingxi could fall in love with calligraphy and painting, this is the blessing of Niangniang, Niangniang is now sick, Lingxi himself did not fulfill his duty, it is Lingxi's fault."

Lianxin hurriedly brought three stools over for them to sit on, and when Xiao Liangyu saw this stool, she immediately became suspicious. "This pineapple stool was made two or three years ago, and now this pineapple wood should be used by the mother who is always in the position, why is the concubine Niangniang also used as a concubine."

"I don't know, my mother ......"

"Lotus Heart! Don't make a mistake! ”

"! The slave maid heard from the other palace maids that Princess Xiao is the most sensible and intelligent, and she is a very good speaker in front of Her Majesty and the Queen Mother. ”

"What's wrong? You said to the palace, it doesn't matter if you tell me, if what you say is really true, I will immediately report it to my father, I want to see who is covering the sky in this internal affairs office! Lingxi gritted his teeth directly, "Hey, princess, our most important task now is to let Imperial Doctor Zhang treat Niangniang, and it's not too late to talk about the rest of the treatment." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, Doctor Zhang, please."

I saw Zhang Xian sitting on the stool in front of him, put down the gauze curtain, and then took out a thin square scarf and put it on Concubine Duan's wrist, and then his fingertips kept fiddling slightly, and then he frowned and immediately got up, "Doctor Zhang, how is Niangniang?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Xian didn't respond, just holding a pen and writing something on the table, Xiao Liangyun got up and sat in Zhang Xian's position just now and worked hard with her hands, and after a while, she frowned. Concubine Duan didn't speak from beginning to end, looking at Xiao Liangyun's face.

"Duan Niangniang, Yu'er took the liberty of asking, have you ever been pregnant, but there are some special reasons, the child is gone."

Lianxin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Concubine Duan, Concubine Duan's expression was really wrong, there was embarrassment, panic, helplessness, and I didn't want to say anything, and I didn't reply to her words.

"Niangniang doesn't have to reply to me first, presumably Imperial Doctor Zhang has just checked the pulse to know what the situation of Niangniang's body is, and Huan'er came to assist Imperial Doctor Zhang to check together at the mouth of the Queen Mother, after all, Niangniang is a concubine, why didn't she come to the Imperial Doctor alone to recuperate? Your body has been taking safflower since at least the pregnancy was stabilized, and you have not undergone normal conditioning for at least half a year until you have a slippery fetus, why is this? ”

"I won't tell you the truth, our mother, has never invited a doctor, every time our mother wants to invite a doctor, the emperor and concubine, she, she will let the people in the hospital not come, not to say that she is not in good health and pull everyone in the hospital to her palace. Then Niangniang she couldn't invite every time, and her body dragged on and on, and it dragged like this. ”

"How can it be!" Lingxi was directly angry when she heard this, she was the most disgusted with the concubine, and now she was even more angry when she heard this. "After the palace goes back, you must report today's events to your father, the lady is really interesting, when the queen mother was alive, the palace was harmonious and beautiful, but now it is good, she is not the queen and has the power of the world? Do you still take the Queen Mother in your eyes? Ridiculous! ”

"Duanfei Niangniang, Wechen has written down the medicine you need for your body's symptoms, although the confinement disease that fell is not a serious disease, but it is too long, and it will also cause great harm to your body, Wechen will arrange a special doctor to come to see you every two days, if the doctor is not faithful, then Wechen will personally come to see you every day, if there is nothing wrong, it will be better after taking medicine for almost four months."

"Thank you Taiyi Zhang, Bengong's body is old, it's nothing, it's enough to drink some tonics."

"No, Niangniang still has to take care of her body." Zhang Xian finished speaking seriously, then took out a silver ingot and handed it to Lianxin, "Please use this money to go to the Tai Hospital to get medicine first." ”

"Mother, mother." Lianxin looked at the ingot of silver in her hand, a little overwhelmed.

"It's okay, you use it first, and when you get better, Weichen will naturally come to you to ask for a good fortune." Zhang Xian smiled and glanced at Xiao Liangyun, Xiao Liangyun also nodded in agreement, and then took over and said, "Duan Niangniang, don't worry, this palace will go to the Internal Affairs Mansion with the princess to get back the monthly silver and the things that should have been in the position of Niangniang." ”

"You don't have to say too much."

"That's not good, in this harem, how many women want to be pampered, but you don't make a noise or fight, and in the end you are not sure that you will still be suppressed."

"Ahem, this palace, this palace knows about the fact that the emperor and concubine gave me medicine, and Your Majesty also knows that you don't understand this matter, so you don't make too much noise about it." Concubine Duan has a gentle tone from beginning to end, which is really unbearable and can't help but be pitiful.

"No matter what, you still have to take care of your body, you look at Lianxin she, a palace maid in the palace master's position, she is not as good as an ordinary sweeping palace maid, Niangniang, you listen to me, you can only protect the people around you when you are strong." Xiao Liangyun also said lightly, Concubine Duan was stunned for a moment, opened the curtain and looked at her.

"Lotus heart, help the palace up."

"Yes."

She slowly got up and sat on the edge of the bed, coughed lightly, and then said, "Niangniang is still young, although she is smart, but she must also remember one thing, people like us may not live the happiest, but live the longest." ”

"Hu'er obeys the teachings."

Leaving Wanhe Palace, Xiao Liangyun's mind was still thinking about Concubine Duan's expression and Concubine Duan's words just now, Concubine Duan's face was not panicked, nor was she afraid and uncomfortable, but her expression was inexplicably calm, why is this, could it be that she did it on purpose or that she had already guessed this result?

"Princess, do you know the origin of this concubine?"

"I know, she married my father from the time when my father was just in the palace, at that time the imperial grandfather had not overthrown the previous dynasty, her family was the most advantageous clerk around the imperial grandfather, the old scholarly family, the name is very interesting, the surname is Zheng, and the name is Xingshu. When my mother was still there, Duanfei Niangniang took special care of me, and then the queen mother died, I thought that Duanfei Niangniang was seriously ill and was gone, plus I was still young at that time, and my father had too many mothers enter the palace every year, I couldn't count it, and then I forgot the existence of Duanfei. ”

"I see."

"Yes, so now that I see that this lady's body is so poor, I can't help but feel more sorry for her, after all, after the death of my mother, a lot of power in the harem is in the hands of her lady, and now it's really sad."
