Chapter 108: Although she is not always there, her shadow is everywhere
Royal Palace ······
Lan Qiong was still buried in all kinds of twists and turns, and his eyes hurt when he saw it.
Although Yan Shu said that she didn't want to go to the palace, she still wanted to go in her heart. In fact, she has not been to the palace many times, but there are even fewer women who appear in the palace, and she is the only one who has been carefully explained by the emperor.
Although Yan Shu's identity to the outside world is a doctor, the emperor specially invited a doctor with excellent medical skills from outside the palace. But in fact, the ability of the people in the Taiyi Mansion is very good, and there is no need to invite people from outside the palace to come at all. Besides, every time the emperor invited this girl in, he didn't look like he needed to see a doctor at all.
The emperor specially told that this girl could come and go freely in the palace. The old eunuch next to the emperor is the most observant, and he has long understood that this girl is not an ordinary person, and she has been respectful from the beginning, and he has privately told the people who are on errands around the emperor, and everyone will pass on ten or ten hundreds, and naturally they are very respectful to this girl.
Originally, everyone was still talking about who this girl was, and she had such a ability to make the emperor look at her differently. The little eunuch who would go out of the palace every day to buy and the imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Bureau gave the answer. The little eunuch said: "This girl is the second lady of Yanfu, and she is the emperor of Yanfu, and she is very powerful!" The little eunuch of the Imperial Medical Bureau said: "I heard from all the imperial doctors that this girl is the doctor of Jishi Pavilion, and her medical skills are excellent, and many wealthy nobles go to her to see a doctor!" ”
At this moment, Zi Yanshu has become a powerful woman with money and medical skills in the eyes of the people in the palace, and everyone rarely talks nonsense behind her back.
Yan Shu walked to the door of the Qinzheng Hall and saw that the gate of the Qinzheng Hall was closed, and the little eunuch standing at the door was serving. When several people saw Yan Shu coming, they immediately saluted, and Yan Shu immediately leaned over to respond. Although she had already said that she didn't have to salute herself, they didn't change it, and Yan Shu couldn't help it, so every time they saluted, she replied to one. Yan Shu's move seemed very touching to these people in the palace, except for the old eunuchs around the emperor, who could still get the respect of people outside this palace.
They still gently pushed open the closed door for Yan Shu, and the bright sunlight was projected into the palace. Yan Shu walked in lightly and saw that the person who was supposed to be sitting in the inner hall to deal with political affairs was leaning his head back on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate. The hall was quiet, and even the sound of the eunuch grinding ink was clearly audible, and Yan Shu felt a little distressed at the moment.
Yan Shu's voice was so small that even the eunuch who was grinding ink didn't hear it. It wasn't until Yan Shu passed by him that he noticed, so frightened that he almost didn't even hold the ink stick steadily. Yan Shu naturally noticed it and glanced at the old eunuch apologetically. The eunuch gently put down the ink strip, smiled at Yan Shu, and went out lightly.
Yan Shu walked behind Lan Qiong, gently raised her hand and pressed it slowly on Lan Qiong's temple. Lan Qiong unconsciously relaxed her tight strings and enjoyed it peacefully.
Lan Qiong: "Why did you remember coming to the palace today?" He didn't open his eyes from beginning to end, and Yan Shu didn't stop what he was doing. Yan Shu didn't answer Lan Qiong's question, but asked, "When did you notice that I was coming?" Lan Qiong hooked the corners of her mouth and said: "When Lao Fu didn't grasp the ink strip steadily, you probably came in too lightly, which scared Lao Fu!" ”
Yan Shu smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't want to disturb you, but I didn't expect to scare him." Also, don't call him Lao Fu, he is getting older and older, and I feel that his gray hair seems to have become more. Lan Qiong expressed her reluctance, he said: "I was also in my forties, and it is normal to have some gray hair. And you don't have to be afraid to disturb me, you are not here to disturb. ”
Yan Shu was a little embarrassed, thinking that these two brothers were quite similar, that is, they had sweet mouths. Yan Shu stopped interrupting him, put down her hand and walked to him, intending to talk to him about business. Lan Qiong shouted, "Don't stop! Yan Shu glanced at him, took out the medicine bottle and said, "There is something serious, this is the beast repellent powder we have researched, and I have already asked people to send a large number of them in." ”
Lan Qiong pursed her lips and said, "I knew you wouldn't come to the palace for no reason. Okay, I know, I'll ask General Si Ko to distribute these powders. Yan Shu felt that she had explained her affairs, so she planned to leave the palace and go to Baicao Pavilion to continue researching her own medicine. Lan Qiong saw that Yan Shu looked like she was leaving, so she opened her mouth to stop her and said, "Yan Shu, are you going to leave?" ”
Yan Shu smoothed the wrinkles of the clothes on her body, and said with a smile: "The emperor has every opportunity, and he also asks the emperor to focus on political affairs, and I will leave first if I still have something to do." After speaking, he turned around and left, Lan Qiong wanted to stop her, but she couldn't say a word at the moment, and she felt a little lonely with a smile in her heart.
When Yan Shu walked to the door, he opened the two doors and walked straight out, the two little eunuchs who were guarding the door planned to close the door, but they were stopped by Yan Shu. The two of them couldn't help but have a bitter face, the emperor hated the most was to open the door wide and let the sun shine in, the emperor always said that opening the door and window was too noisy to disturb him to deal with political affairs. Yan Shu didn't leave in a hurry, but walked to the window, raised her hand and used internal force to pull the window open from the outside.
Suddenly, a large beam of sunlight rushed directly to Lan Qiong, who was sitting at the table, he was still lonely because Yan Shu left, but at this time, a large beam of sunlight came in, and his heart suddenly became irritable. Suddenly raised his head and looked at the window, he wanted to see who was so bold that he dared to open the window at will. Just as soon as I looked up, I saw Yan Shu standing in the backlight, with an arrogant expression of "you come to beat me" on her face. Seeing her, the anger in Lan Qiong's heart was extinguished at once, and she helplessly broke away from her squinting eyes and said, "Don't open the window, close it quickly." ”
Instead, Yan Shu opened every window and set it up. When she was done, she propped herself up at the window and said, "Don't keep the window closed, it's autumn now, and there's no summer heat, you should open the window and bask in the sun." And the door has to be opened, and every time I come to you, I think you're eerie here. I don't like that feeling, so you have to remember to open the window in the future! ”
Lan Qiong didn't feel that he was gloomy here, but when Yan Shu said it, he felt that it was indeed cooler than outside. The reason why he asked people to close the doors and windows was not because of the noise, there was no one in the palace in the first place, so where could he make trouble. It's just that he doesn't want to see the brightness outside the window, and he is afraid that he will have the mind of dropping the fold and running to play, so he habitually closes it, so that he can't see anything, and naturally he can't go out.
Since Yan Shu said so, he could naturally agree. After being an emperor for so long, he has long lost his previous thoughts, but some things have become habits, and he has forgotten them. Yan Shu saw Lan Qiong nodding and agreeing, so she waved her hand to Lan Qiong and said, "Goodbye, I'll see you another day!" ”
Lan Qiong sat on the seat and said, "Lao Fu, send Miss Yan out." He watched Yan Shu leave slowly through the window, and suddenly he felt that it was good to open the window, at least every time Yan Shu came, he could see it, and he could watch her leave.
Lao Fu slowly followed behind Yan Shu, Yan Shu didn't plan to let the old man send her out, she hoped that the old man would go back to Lan Qiong as soon as possible. Therefore, she turned to Lao Fu and said, "Father-in-law Fu, you don't need to send me out, I know the way, you go back quickly!" Lao Fu smiled and said: "That's not good, the emperor explained, I have to do it well!" ”
Yan Shu was helpless, so she had to let Lao Fu stay with her for a while, she took out a few things from her cuffs and handed them to Lao Fu and said, "I see that the emperor is a little green now, it seems that he hasn't rested well recently." This is some soothing spices, you can light them for the emperor every time he rests, so that he can rest more peacefully. There is also a medicine bag, which can be worn by the emperor every day, and it is made of some medicinal materials, which is not harmful to the body, but just refreshing and refreshing. This is only for the time being, and I will bring more when I come in the future! ”
Lao Fu stretched out his hand to take the thing handed by Yan Shu, he didn't know what to say, and his heart was moved. Looking at some things, where they were made on a whim, it was clear that a lot of thought was spent. This sack can smell fresh just by holding it in your hand, and the amount of spices in this bag is heavy. He could only lean over and say, "Miss Lao is worried, in fact, it would be good if there were more girls!" ”
Yan Shu was not embarrassed by Lao Fu's words, so she looked around and said, "Go back quickly, the time has been delayed for a long time." After saying goodbye to Lao Fu, he left with light steps. Lao Fu knew that Yan Shu was embarrassed, so he didn't force it anymore. In addition, this girl obviously used some light skills under her feet, where can she catch up.
Lao Fu looked at the woman who left with a graceful posture, and thought to himself that although she was not the eldest lady of the family, but with the support of the Yan family behind her, and with such a good reputation, it was okay to marry the emperor, and the most important thing was that she had a heart that cared about the emperor. But he has seen a lot of women in this harem, but in this deep palace, not those who have love can live to the end. He naturally hoped that Miss Yan could always be by the emperor's side, but others would say another if they didn't let him.
In his opinion, it is not difficult for the emperor to marry Miss Yan, but if he wants to crown her as the queen, it is difficult for the ministers! As far as he is concerned, he likes Yan Shu very much, if Lan Qiong is not the emperor, he must raise his hands and feet in favor of Yan Shu marrying the emperor, but at this moment, he is a little unwanted, he doesn't want Yan Shu to follow the old path of Empress He Yi.
In fact, Lao Fu's worries will not happen. First, Lan Qiong is not his father, how can he act like him, seeing his mother die tragically in this struggle for imperial power, how can Lan Qiong be willing to let Yan Shu follow in her mother's footsteps; The second is that Yan Shu is not only the young lady of the Yan family, she is also the owner of the Vermilion Bird Building, and she is also Si Kouxi's confidant, how can she be wronged in this deep palace. The Longtan Tiger's Den has never let her die, and what can this palace do to her. The third is that today's court is not as good as in the past, all the ministers are under the nose of the nine-story building, and they are also caught to death. Their role is just to contribute to the country, not to manage the emperor's housework, Lan Qiong wants to make whoever is the queen, who is the queen!
Of course, the most important thing is to have Lan Qiong to protect her, if Lan Qiong doesn't protect her one day, she shouldn't be wronged to stay in this palace anymore.
It was another morning when Lan Qiong was still woken up by Lao Fu, who dressed him. Lan Qiong feels that she has been resting well recently, and she is more energetic and efficient when she is performing every day. Inevitably, he sighed a few words, and Lao Fu said with a smile: "This is all the credit of Miss Yan, she sent you a soothing incense, saying that it is good for your sleep to let the old slave order it when you are resting." After speaking, he just picked up the sachet in his hand to bring it to Lan Qiong, and he pointed to the sachet by the way and said, "This is also the sachet given by Miss Yan, saying that it is for refreshing the mind." Miss Yan is so careful! She also said, if you use it well, send some over in a few days. ”
Lan Qiong didn't expect that An Sheng for a few days was given by Yan Shu, and she didn't expect Yan Shu to do these things for herself silently. On the way to the court, he has been playing with the sachet on his waist in his hand, Lao Fu saw the emperor's actions, thinking that this sachet is really helpful to the emperor, the emperor likes it so much, so he said: "Your Majesty, if you think the sachet is good, the old slave will take it to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and let the imperial doctors match the same medicinal materials inside." Lan Qiong put down the sachet, waved her hand and said, "No need, didn't she say she would send it over?" Then wait for her to send it! ”
Lao Fu, who was like a human spirit, suddenly realized what the emperor meant, and gently patted his mouth. Even if this thing is good, ordinary people make it, at most it will be praised by the emperor, how can it be worth the emperor to keep it in his hand! The things that Miss Yan sent were naturally extraordinary. At this moment, an idea came to his head, let Miss Yan enter the palace, the best excuse is to say that An Shenxiang is gone, then this is not simple. Every time I light incense, I hide some, so that I can use it quickly, Miss Yan is such a caring person, she will inevitably enter the palace!
At this time, Lao Fu felt that he was the most powerful person in the world, and he thought of such a solution. Thinking of it, he naturally wanted to do it, so he used some to hide some every day, so that soon, a box of spices bottomed out.
When Yan Shu entered the palace to deliver spices, she wondered how to use them so quickly, and she also checked them on purpose, and there was indeed not much in the box. Yan Shu suspiciously handed the box to Father-in-law Fu, and Lao Fu accepted it with a smile. Lan Qiong pretended to be calm and looked at Lao Fu and Yan Shu talking nonsense with their eyes open, and had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy, and this Fu Gonggong was so skilled in doing this.
Although it is rare for Yan Shu to enter the palace, she never wants any bad rumors to circulate in the palace, and it will be a trouble to reach the ears of those ministers, so she plans to leave. Lao Fu frowned when he saw the emperor, and Miss Yan was about to leave. As soon as the inspiration moved, he wanted to bring a cup of tea to the emperor to drink, and with a shake of his hand, he poured the tea on Lan Qiong's body, and by the way, he also wet the sachet.
Lan Qiong felt that Lao Fu was not such a disproportionate person, he had always done things steadily, not to mention a glass of water, he had never even turned over a drop of water! Lao Fu looked like he had made a big mistake, so he knelt on the ground and said: "The slave is careless, I hope the emperor will punish ······"
Lan Qiong would never punish him for a glass of water, he just felt sorry for his baby-like sachet! Yan Shu watched from the side, although she felt sorry for Father-in-law Fu kneeling on the ground, but after all, Lan Qiong was the emperor, and how to deal with it was his business, so it was inconvenient for her to intervene more. Lan Qiong didn't care about it at all, but helped Lao Fu up, and said, "Just change your clothes." ”
"Ouch, it's all the old slave's fault, I got the emperor's sachet wet, this is what Miss Yan Shu did!" Lan Qiong was almost scared to death by the ouch, he originally wanted to tell Lao Fu that there was no need to make such a fuss, but when he lowered his head, Lao Fu kept blinking at him.
All of a sudden, Lan Qiong suddenly realized and looked at Yan Shu. Sure enough, Yan Shu's eyes were attracted, and she forgot about leaving for a while. Lao Fu urged the little eunuch to serve the emperor to change clothes, while he stayed here and continued to act.
Lao Fu ran to Yan Shu to express his apologies for wetting the sachet. Yan Shu thought that it would be good for her to send someone to send her later, so that she didn't have to feel so guilty about her father-in-law. Lao Fu struck while the iron was hot and said: "Miss Yan, you don't know, our emperor likes this sachet, he will be uncomfortable if he doesn't bring it for a day!" Why don't you make one here today, and you can see that there are all kinds of medicinal materials in the palace······" Father-in-law Fu was there crying and laughing.
Yan Shu couldn't resist it after all, and said a good word. Gonggong Fu immediately sent someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Yan Shu stayed in the palace in a daze.
When Lan Qiong came out after changing her clothes, she really saw Yan Shu making sachets there. And his own recital had already been moved to the same table as Yan Shu, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Gonggong Fu who was standing at the door. Father-in-law Fu blushed and quietly retreated. Lan Qiong sat opposite Yan Shu and calmly began to review the recital, but in fact, his heart was beating and his mouth couldn't help but rise.
For a whole afternoon, Lan Qiong was busy watching Yan Shu, and the speed of reviewing and reading was much slower. It wasn't until Yan Shu finished the sachet that he came back to his senses.
Yan Shu personally buckled the sachet she had made on Lan Qiong's belt, and Lan Qiong felt fluttering at this time.
This time, Lan Qiong reacted quickly, stopped Yan Shu, who was about to leave, and said, "Yan Shu, it's already quite late, why don't you finish dinner here and leave?" Yan Shu glanced at the rising moon outside, only to realize that it was late, and then looked at Lan Qiong's expectant eyes in front of her, she nodded and agreed.
Immediately dinner was set in, and the table was quiet, except for the sound of chopsticks colliding. Yan Shu suddenly put a chopstick dish into Lan Qiong's bowl, and Lan Qiong raised her head in surprise. Yan Shu: "I'm not a very expressive person, but I promise you that I will come to the palace to see you more often in the future." ”
Ouch, Lan Qiong felt that she was not dreaming today, and actually got Yan Shu's company for an afternoon, as well as Yan Shu's promise. He hurriedly agreed, and gave her a chopstick that Yan Shu had been eating. Yan Shu looked at the dishes she liked to eat in the bowl, and knew that Lan Qiong was attentive.
After dinner, Lan Qiong sent Yan Shu all the way to the palace gate. Even if Yan Shu left, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed, and he didn't forget to praise Father-in-law Fu: "Lao Fu, you are really amazing, it is not in vain that you have been by your father's side for so many years!" Father-in-law Fu said repeatedly: "The emperor praises falsely, this is what the old slave should do." The two of them went back giggling.
After Yan Shu walked out of the palace gate, she unfolded a scroll of paper in her hand, which read: Miss Wang forgives the old slave for today's cleverness, but the huge palace is too lonely, and if Miss can stay for a few more moments, the more smiles will appear on the emperor's face.
Yan Shu looked at the note, smiled, and rolled it up again and held it in the palm of her hand. Gonggong Fu probably heard what he said at the dinner table tonight, so he handed the note to himself when the emperor was not paying attention. Thinking about it, he is also an old man who has broken his heart for Lan Qiong, it is rare to have such a person in the palace!
Lan Qiong is still fighting in the study at night because of her lack of business in the afternoon, and Father-in-law Fu is standing aside to accompany her. He looked at Lan Qiong's hard work, and thanked Miss Yan in his heart for not saying it even if she saw through it, but was willing to accompany the emperor more. Miss Yan Shu is a clear-minded person, and she is just right for the emperor!
