Chapter 157: Concubine Xi's suspicions
Fu Ruolan couldn't fall asleep after a whole night's thoughts, she prepared the items she needed early, freshened up, and prepared to go to the Xinlian Palace to regularly check the situation of the child in Concubine Xi's womb.
The palace maids and eunuchs also began to get busy, and there was still a lively scene in the palace.
A ray of early morning shone on the golden palace, emitting a dazzling light, and the walking palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but raise their hands to block the scorching sun.
Fu Ruolan walked slowly on the path, bathing in the warmth brought by the sun, yesterday's unhappiness was instantly forgotten, and what was waiting for her was the dawn of tomorrow and tomorrow.
The flowers on the side slowly relaxed their smiling faces, feeling the nourishment given to them by the sun's father, and the leaves on the trees danced with the spring breeze, celebrating the arrival of the revival of all things.
In less than a stick of incense, Fu Ruolan walked to the Xinlian Palace, and looked from a distance, and saw a few eunuchs holding mounts at the door, and two neat rows of palace maids standing on both sides.
Shao Tian walked out of a purple dragon robe, with a jade ribbon inlaid on his waist, and his silver-white hair was high in the red crown, and the momentum exuded from it made others dare not approach easily.
There was also a sleek woman standing at the entrance of the Core Lotus Palace, looking at the person in front of her stupidly, sitting on a golden carved pattern of the dragon of the sea.
"Let's go!" Father-in-law Zhang raised his voice and said in a straight voice.
The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by all put down their work and quickly knelt down and waited for the mounts to pass by slowly.
Fu Ruolan hurriedly knelt down, lowered her head and waited.
Leaning less, the group slowly passed by Fu Ruolan, Fu Ruolan vaguely felt the beam of cold light thrown from the dragon horse, she couldn't help but tremble, and the powerful momentum scolded Fu Ruolan, and she didn't slowly raise her head until she walked away.
"Father-in-law Zhang, who is the person on the side? Why is the clothing a little different? The emperor stretched out his hand and gestured to Gonggong Zhang.
Gonggong Zhang hurriedly stuck to the emperor's side, revealing eight shiny teeth, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
"Back to the emperor, that person is the newly sealed female official Fu Ruolan." Gonggong Zhang looked back at the person kneeling on the ground, and saw Fu Ruolan in a black gauze skirt and a hairpin tied high with green silk.
The emperor was thoughtful, stretched out his hand and waved his cuffs.
Gonggong Zhang hurriedly stepped aside, followed the speed of the eunuchs, and walked slowly.
Fu Ruolan supported the ground with her weak wrists, and after a whole night of unrested fatigue and fasting, Fu Ruolan took a lot of effort to stand up, holding the medicine box built with a wooden frame, at this time she was a little powerless, and staggered to the Core Lotus Palace.
Gui'er was holding a silver basin filled with clear water, and just looked at Fu Ruolan, then stopped and said respectfully.
"Fu Zhangsi is really diligent, he came over so early, but he just sent the emperor away, and Concubine Xi is dressing up, Fu Zhangsi will take a break first."
Fu Ruolan's eyebrows tightened, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she said solemnly: "It's okay, I'll wait for Concubine Xi here, you go in and freshen up quickly, don't let Concubine Xi wait in a hurry." ”
Gui'er nodded lightly and walked into the room.
Fu Ruolan twisted her neck, loosened her muscles and bones, and tried to lift her spirits.
Suddenly, Gui'er brushed open the curtain and walked out slowly, she beckoned to Fu Ruolan who was standing at the door, with a slight smile on her face.
Seeing this, Fu Ruolan quickened her pace of progress, and came to Gui'er in two or three steps.
"Fu Zhangsi, please, Concubine Xi is waiting inside." Gui'er pursed her mouth and said slowly.
Fu Ruolan gently brushed open the curtain and watched Concubine Xi sitting on a mahogany chair drinking tea.
"See Concubine Xi!" Fu Ruolan blessed her body and said respectfully.
"Master Fu doesn't need to be polite, please hurry up!" Concubine Xi opened her mouth slightly and said softly, her eyebrows full of joy.
Fu Ruolan got up, slowly walked to Concubine Xi, picked up the medicine box to find the golden cushion, pressed it under Concubine Xi's hand, and stretched out her hand to probe her pulse.
Concubine Xi turned her head away, took out her other hand and took the teacup on the table, and sipped it gently.
"Concubine Xi's pulse is normal." Fu Ruolan withdrew her hand, looked up at Concubine Xi, and said calmly.
Concubine Xi put down the teacup in her hand, turned her head, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and picked up Fu Ruolan's hand and put it on her own, which made people look a little kind.
"Master Fu has been working hard recently, and he always runs to the palace, and he is very tired."
"Concubine Xi's words are serious, this is where the minister's accusation lies."
"Concubine Xi, the palace maid from Fengyi Palace came to spread the word, saying that she invited Niangniang to listen to the tea party together."
Gui'er walked out from the side, she slowly walked to Concubine Xi's side, and said in a low voice.
Seeing this, Fu Ruolan turned her head away and silently packed up the things in the medicine box.
"Oh? Why did you suddenly hold this tea party? Concubine Xi thought for a moment and looked at Gui'er.
"The slave maid doesn't know, but the queen also summoned the other concubines in the palace together," Gui'er lowered her head and looked at Concubine Xi with a subtle expression, "Concubine Xi, or the slave and maid will refuse?" ”
Concubine Xi raised her hand, "That's it, it turned out to be the kindness of the queen's mother, so don't let down the mother's kindness." ”
Concubine Xi sneered, her eyes revealing coldness, like a femme fatale.
Fu Ruolan looked at Concubine Xi, who was a little sleek in front of her, she shook her eyes and spit out a few words for a long time.
"Concubine Xi, the minister has helped the mother diagnose her body today, so she will not disturb the mother's rest, and the minister will retire first."
"Wait a minute, yesterday's banquet suddenly happened, the palace does feel that there are some guests who are not present, Fu Zhangsi stayed overnight next to the palace yesterday, and today I will go with the palace to enjoy the flowers, just let the palace make up for it."
Concubine Xi got up and stretched out her hand to half-raise. There was a slight apology between the eyebrows.
"It's just that there are still some trivial matters that need to be dealt with by the ministers, and I really can't pull out......" Fu Ruolan leaned over slightly, revealing a solemn expression.
"It's good to leave these things to your subordinates, not to mention that this palace is pregnant now, and it is not very convenient to travel, if Fu Zhangsi is next to this palace, he can take care of it at any time."
Concubine Xi looked at Fu Ruolan gently, waiting for Fu Ruolan's reply with hope.
Fu Ruolan avoided Concubine Xi's eyes, slowly lowered her head and thought quietly.
Concubine Xi saw that Fu Ruolan was a little uncertain, and said in a tough tone: "Could it be that Fu Zhangsi is guarding against this palace?" Don't want to go along? ”
Fu Ruolan hurriedly knelt down, and droplets of water appeared on her forehead, sliding down with her cheeks.
