Even the rain doesn't know the end of summer, and it's late autumn in a blink of an eye. Before I knew it, March was gone, and the autumn equinox was approaching.

A few months have passed, and happy events in the palace have been reported frequently, and Concubine Yi, Concubine Wen, and Concubine De have become pregnant one after another. This is the first major event in this dynasty, the court and outside have written to praise the joy, the empress dowager is sent to the internal affairs office to the four palaces more than ten times to reward, the rest of the palaces only have a share of envy.

It has always been the newcomer who ushered in the old man to abandon it, and now the newcomer has no climate when he enters the palace, but he is forced to be pressed by Wen Yi's concubines, this time the newcomer should cry, and the old man should laugh.

Pregnant people are most afraid to sit for a long time. Every day will also become Qingyu's trouble. The queen mother saw that Qingyu was tired, so she entrusted all the affairs of the harem to the second concubine Huirong to take care of. Thinking that a few trouble-making lords in the prime of life are closed at the moment, this palace is naturally peaceful, and Qingyu is rarely at ease.

At this point, the Chengxin Garden is renovated, the cracked silk lake is light, the flowers and trees are uneven, and the scenery is very different. Xuan Ye asked the Empress Dowager to go to Chengxin Garden to enjoy the scenery. Xuan Ye originally wanted to let Concubine Qingyu Yi accompany him, thinking about the fatigue of traveling back and forth, if he brought other concubines with him, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply did not call.

The autumn rain was cloudy, and the Chengqian Palace was shrouded in wet and cold weather. Qing Yu strolled through the Chengqian Palace, looking at the withered pear trees in the courtyard, as if recalling the prosperous scene of spring. In an instant, the memories in Qing Yu's mind also passed, and the figure of the servant in front of him gradually became clear. It was Liang Jiugong at the door, and Qing Yu couldn't help but wonder: "Why didn't Your Majesty come to the door?" ”

Liang Jiugong bowed and said, "Your Majesty ordered not to disturb Niangniang." ”

Qing Yu shook his head and entered, and Xuan Ye leaned on the couch to take a nap at the right time, Qing Yu lowered his voice and instructed Wan Xia: "The tea is cold, you go and make it again." About a quarter of an hour later, Xuan Ye slowly woke up, and Qing Yu handed the tea to Xuan Ye, "Your Majesty is asleep." ”

Xuan Ye rubbed his temples and pretended to be displeased: "Why don't you wake me up." ”

Qingyu said aggrievedly: "The concubine is too tired to see His Majesty, so there is no ......"

Without waiting for Qing Yu to finish speaking, Xuan Ye reversed his appearance, took Qing Yu's hand and said, "I scared you." ”

Qing Yu turned her face away, her cheeks flushed: "Your Majesty will scare the concubine." ”

"The repair of Chengxin Garden is completed, on the eighth day of the next month, I will accompany Huang Mama to Chengxin Garden for a few days, you are so good to stay in the palace, Mo Jiao I am worried."

Qing Yu nodded and sneered: "The concubine is not a three-year-old child, can she still cause trouble for Your Majesty?" Xuan Ye's eyes fixed on her, and even the smile was doting, stroking Qing Yu's bulging belly and said, "Let me guess if it's a boy or a girl?" ”

"Your Majesty." Qing Yu pushed Xuan Ye away, Xuan Ye pretended to ouch, Qing Yu stepped forward to check, but was held in Xuan Ye's arms instead.

On the eighth day of the first month of October, Wang drove from the Forbidden City, traveled all the way to the west for about 20 miles, and finally arrived at Chengxin Garden in the evening.

After Qingyu received the letter, he replied: "Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, and thinks about you when you walk, and thinks about you when you sit." When the ink is dry, let Wei Zhu return it to Chengxin Garden.

This heart came to Concubine Rong to visit, Qing Yu sent the late summer to take the tea, the red sleeves were in the eyes, Qing Yu got up and stepped forward and said: "Sister Rong is here, Qing Yu has never been far away." ”

Concubine Rong took Qingyu's hands and led her straight to the inner hall, and only sat down when Qingyu sat down.

Concubine Rong lowered her eyebrows and chuckled: "I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I want to come to see you." Concubine Rong raised her head slightly to meet Qing Shi's eyes, paused and continued, "Some time ago, Ama brought a few pieces of satin from Songjiang, and I thought that there was nothing to do, so I made a few clothes for this unborn child, don't dislike it." ”

Concubine Rong's real name is Ma Jia Danruo, who entered the palace at the same time as Concubine Hui Renxiao, who was favored the most in the past and gave birth to six children, but died one after another, leaving only the third elder brother and the third princess. Concubine Rong only wants to guard this son and daughter. She and Qing Yu got acquainted in Chengqian Palace, at that time, Qing Yu was bleeding because of eating Jing Concubine's fetal pills, and the imperial doctor in the palace did not have time to arrive in the middle of the night, Concubine Rong was proficient in medical skills and helped Qing Yu stop the bleeding, and the relationship between the two gradually became intimate.

"How dare I dislike what Sister Rong sent." Qing Yu picked up the short jacket and exclaimed: "Sister Rong's embroidery is exquisite, this flower seems to be real, Qing Yu is ashamed of herself." ”

Concubine Rong smiled: "You are used to making fun of me." ”

Qing Yu accepted it, turned his eyes and smiled: "It's just that if you don't come and be rude, Qing Yu doesn't know what to send to my sister." ”

"Aren't you treating me like an outsider?"

"I'm laughing, why are you still more real?" When Qing Yu heard her words, her eyes turned in anticipation, and she changed the topic and said, "Sister has been dealing with harem affairs with Concubine Hui, is there any tricky matter?" ”

Concubine Rong frowned slightly, hesitated for a long time before saying: "It is also true, the one in Yongshou Palace, since she has a pregnant palace, everything in the palace has been doubled, and the internal affairs government has been complaining, and she has come to me, she can only talk about the imperial heir, I can't discuss it with Concubine Hui, think about it, and come over to annoy you if I have no way." ”

Qing Yu smiled appropriately, and her eyes were a little cold: "Up and down the palace, she is the most arrogant." On weekdays, he relies on his family background to oppress people everywhere, and now he is even more unscrupulous when he is pregnant. Now that His Majesty is not in the palace, the next day to find a reason, I went to Ningshou Palace to ask for a decree, and after that, the expenses in the palace should be halved, and there is a decree of the Queen Mother, she dare not obey. ”

Concubine Rong nodded yes, Qing Yu suddenly remembered and asked: "There is a new Imperial Doctor Song from the Tai Hospital, I heard Wei Chang mention his medical skills yesterday is quite good, I heard that it is Concubine Rong's sister's cousin?" ”

Concubine Rong leaned on the square table and looked out the window, and replied after listening to the words: "The prodigal son is one, but he will see some diseases." ”

Hearing her words, Qing Yu smiled and said, "What do you mean? ”

Concubine Rong explained: "He has been fond of poetry since he was a child, and after trying and failing, he wanted to learn from that Liu Yong, lingered in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, read a few medical books, and saw some strange diseases, so he was very self-controlled. I've never been used to his temperament, and I don't want to deal with him. ”

Qing Yu said in disgust: "It's such a person, I was going to summon him to take a look......"

Concubine Rong shook her head, raised her eyes and saw that twilight was approaching, so she said again: "It's not early, I'll go back first." Concubine Rong got up and walked out, Qing Yu responded with her chin, and after instructing Yixin to send her away, she got up and stood in front of the screen window. ”

After about a cup of tea, Fang raised his eyes when he heard the sound of the bead curtain lifting, and saw a figure walking slowly outside the curtain.

"Minister Song Yanzhi knocked to see the imperial concubine."

I saw someone coming in full clothes, dressed in official uniforms, carrying a medicine box, eyebrows, and a slightly thin face, quite handsome.

Qing Yu looked at him in great detail, and asked suspiciously: "This palace summoned Jiang Yuanju, why are you here?"

"Jiang Yuanju is unwell today, and Weichen is coming to ask for the mother's pulse on behalf of Jiang Yuanju."

Qing Yu had a bit of anger in his eyes, and he wanted to chase him back, but after thinking twice, he waved his hand to get up.

Song Yanzhi skillfully put the thin silk on Qing Yu's hand, and then carefully observed Qing Yu's face, half raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "The imperial concubine Niangniang's pulse is weak, and the face of Guanzhi is spiritually lacking. ”

Qing Yu nodded silently, and listened to him continue: "I think that Niangniang is too contaminated with cold things. ”

Qing Yu was puzzled: "Why do you come to cool things, this palace has been taboo since she was pregnant, and she doesn't dare to eat and drink indiscriminately." ”

After a while, the heart continued the rose fragrance dew in the Qingyu tea cup, and the fragrance went straight around the beams of the room, and Song Yanzhi's mouth shattered the silence for a moment: "This smells fragrant, dare to ask Niangniang what is this?" ”

"Rose Dew"

Song Yanzhi frowned and said: "This is a tribute from Jiangnan, tea is taboo during pregnancy, and it is okay to replace tea with rose fragrant dew, but the rose is cold, and now it is late autumn, and it is not suitable for the mother to taste this fragrance dew again." ”

Qing Yu secretly thought that this person had some skills, so he asked casually: "I heard that Sister Rong mentioned in this palace, you are an idler and a prodigal son, how can you be willing to enter the palace to practice medicine?" ”

Song Yanzhi bowed down and said: "Shi'an is still able to get lost and return, how can Weichen not choose to do good?" ”

"I hope so." Qing Yu's eyebrows twisted slightly, and suddenly smiled again: "Now it is Jiang Yuan who comes to ask for a pulse every day, he is quite old, and you will come to Chengqian Palace with him tomorrow to ask for a pulse." ”

Song Yanzhi was not surprised, leaned over and bowed: "Thank you for the grace of the imperial concubine." ”
