Chapter 169: Within the Palace Walls
In the palace wall, the spring peach that has been in full bloom is embellished with the verandah in the wind, the red dots of the cherry blossoms are lined with the light and shadow of the garden, and the noble magnolia and the green willow are quietly open under the ten-mile palace wall.

A chessboard is placed on the white marble square table in the pavilion in the back garden, and the sixteen little eunuchs are divided into four teams from afar, each holding a pheasant feather palace fan, a gold teapot, a crank gold umbrella, a gargle and dust, and there is a certain gold-topped goose yellow striped dragon luanyu in the corner of the corner door.
Sixteen guards with swords, dressed in brocade and armed with soft armor, stood majestically to one side and waited. just quietly watched the new Feng Meiren and the official Zhao Zhen play against each other in the spring.

Empress Cao and the eldest princess of Wei who had traveled far away, the two of them exchanged glances to each other, and the tails of their eyes and eyebrows each showed a happy meaning.
"Zhang Guifei has been favored for many years, and the temperament on her body is the favorite of the official family. Empress Cao said softly, her eyes did not squint, her back was straight, and she really showed the abundance of the Jiangmen woman.
"Where is the queen, this is not all for the sake of our Cao family and the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty," the eldest princess of Wei found a concubine, who was the uncle of Queen Cao, and the intimacy between the two naturally went without saying.
Saying that, the eldest princess of Wei pulled Queen Cao, slightly away from the accompanying maid guards, and said softly: "When this Feng beauty wins the emperor's favor and gives birth to a son and a half daughter, naturally, we canββ"
As she spoke, she made a clicking gesture with her hand and spit out four more words, "Give up the mother and take the child."
Empress Cao's lips still showed a quiet smile, she looked at the eldest princess of Wei Kingdom, and used a homely title with a little coquettishness:
"Auntie is wholeheartedly planning for the palace, the palace really doesn't know how to thank it, but I heard that Concubine Miao and Concubine Zhang Guifei have been walking around very close recently.
Concubine Miao is pregnant, and Concubine Zhang is the top of the official family, no matter who is favored or who falls out of favor, this Concubine Zhang is standing, and now that these two people have come together, I don't know if anything will happen? β
When the eldest princess of Wei heard this, she naturally had three tastes, she just patted Queen Cao's hand lightly with her hand, and said with a gentle and kind face:
"What was done before, what is done now, that is. I grew up watching the official family, and I know his character best, whoever dares to break this layer of window paper will be unlucky first. β
The two of them spoke, and slowly walked towards the queen's Jiaofang Palace.

In Concubine Miao's bedroom, a little palace maid tried to calm down and came in from the outside.
Concubine Miao hurriedly retreated left and right, and asked her, "How is it?" What does the doctor outside say? β
The little palace maid's face turned pale as soon as she brushed it, and she knelt down directly and said: "This, among these rouge gouaches sent by the daily Internal Affairs Office, they are indeed as the concubine said, and they are all things that hurt the fetus." β
When Concubine Miao heard this, she slammed her clenched hand on the coffee table next to her, and smashed the sour pear wood table out of a groove, and the broken wood chips splashed out at once, and the back of her hand was dripping with blood, and the blood dripped down her hand to the ground.
The little palace maid directly persuaded: "Take care of your mother, don't get angry and hurt your body." β
Concubine Miao vented her violent attack on the coffee table, her emotions were still calm, and she commanded softly: "You get up, it's none of your business, you go to the back and bring my medicine box, bandage my hand for me, don't alarm others." β
The little palace maid said yes again and again.
When Zhang Guifei came to talk to Concubine Miao about these things that day, although Concubine Miao understood that Zhang Guifei's overture at the moment must be aimed at the dragon fetus she was carrying, since Zhang Guifei opened her mouth, she took the initiative to let or wait for Zhang Guifei to ask for the official family to succeed her, and there was no big difference.
However, in order to be safe, she still asked her henchmen and palace maids to repeatedly check the things assigned in her palace, and it was really different, but why did so many famous doctors in the Tai Hospital keep silent? It's a horrible thing.
Who can have such power, turning his hands into clouds and his hands into rain?
The officials themselves? How is it possible, this is absolutely impossible, even if the official family does not love those concubines of high-ranking families out of some taboos against foreign relatives, it is impossible to make all the women in the palace encounter pregnancy difficulties, especially for themselves, or for concubines like Zhang Guifei who have no power in their mother's family.
Then there will only be the queen.
Thinking of this, Concubine Miao couldn't help but gurgle her teeth, she was really afraid that her child would not be born safely, in this palace, even if it was a person like Zhang Guifei who enjoyed all the favor and was vigilant, she would be unfortunate to be hit, let alone herself?
Now, holding a group with Zhang Guifei, promising to pass this child to Zhang Guifei's name and seeking Zhang Guifei's help and shelter, this is the only way.
The little palace maid next to Concubine Miao who was drugged on the side, watching Concubine Miao's expression change, didn't dare to say a word, only quietly medicated and bandaged.

The slanting sun had lowered slightly, and the light of kindness hung on the verandah.
In the Wind Lotus Palace, Zhang Guifei sat on the side of the chaise longue, with two knives and half turned buns, with gilt flowers and beads and blue and white glazed jade beads on the head, the body is a white butterfly flying pattern of the cloud brocade clothes, the plain bird flower skirt dragging the ground, wearing a pair of blue and white glass beads inlaid bracelet with a pair of heads, and the red gold plate glass ring on the chest is also inlaid with blue and white glazed gemstones of the same color.
The fair skin is shining with a watery luster, the lips are red without painting, the eyebrows are not drawn, the eyes are like a slightly lowered apricot, and the slender waist does not win a hand, that is, sitting on the couch without moving, and there is a natural romantic attitude.
Wang Ziyue next to her was holding all kinds of ancient books and telling Zhang Guifei about fun.
"This pile of ancient books was found in Tianyi Pavilion when my third brother traveled here.
Ordinary ancient book shops use rue, cinnamon, sesame oil, and musk to repel insects for books, but Tianyi Pavilion is ingenious, and uses dyed hard yellow paper to copy, compared with the general storage method, it can be stored for at least ten more years. β
Zhang Guifei listened interestingly, couldn't help but take the ancient book in Wang Ziyue's hand, and thought about it lightly, her eyes were dripping, she shook her head, and said with a smile:
It's just that this method of dyeing paper is too cumbersome, and the price is too high, and the average merchant is profit-seeking, who is willing to spend so much effort on these books? It can be seen that the boss of this Tianyi Pavilion is a real lover of booksββ"
"Who said it wasn't-" Wang Ziyue's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, full of grace, and he raised his hand to pick up another ancient book "Guangling Music Book":
"This is blue blue paper, that's pepper paper, it's a kind of beetle paper that uses the juice of chili peppers to penetrate the paper, which can poison moths, and the effect is a little better than blue paper-Niangniang, you see-"
