175. 27 Men from the palace
Although the intrigue of the concubines in the palace has nothing to do with her, as she said last night, the former dynasty and the harem are intertwined, and it is not that she will be able to do it if she wants to stay out of the matter. Indeed, Bai Zixiao is very good to himself, and he also promises to hold himself as a treasure in his palm, but although he is a towering tree, he does not want to be a vine that can only cling to him. The two are husband and wife, destined to walk hand in hand in this life, and what she wants is to walk side by side with him.
Seeing that Hua Qingmo had been silent, there was worry in her lovesick eyes. Listening to the sound outside, Acacia stepped forward, and his voice was gentle and respectful: "Miss, it's time to rest in the middle of the night." ”
"yes, I see." Hua Qingmo heard Acacia's words and responded lightly. Acacia took off the plain white silver thread embroidered phoenix pattern jacket she was wearing, and waited for her to change into a pear blossom white plain brocade bedgown. Lying on the couch, Hua Qingmo looked at the candlestick on the side in a daze.
The candlestick is made of silver and covered with gold leaf, and the lines are smooth and brilliant. The shape is a product of the dynasty, implying the extreme of the people. The crane is a bird, second only to the phoenix, just like the white purple flute, but he is just a thrush that he has always held in his hand.
No, she is not even as good as a thrush, at least the thrush has a graceful voice, and can imitate the calls of many birds, and can coax the owner to be happy, and she can't even coax Bai Zixiao to be happy.
After that, Hua Qingmo didn't know when she fell asleep, but after waking up, the sky was already slightly bright. The whole room was gloomy and lonely. Facing sideways ahead, Hua Qingmo looked at the huge room, looked at the gorgeous furnishings around her, and suddenly wanted to know, how did Bai Zixiao feel about this scene after waking up every day?
She thought that he must just smile, and his smile was gorgeous and enchanting. Then he depicted Zhu and hid his prosperous elegance under the bewitching makeup.
After lying on the couch for a while, Hua Qingmo endured the pain and sat up. Taking off her bedclothes, Hua Qingmo looked at the silk cloth wrapped on her body, and her eyes deepened slightly. She was fortunate that although the injury was serious, Bai Zixiao favored her to heal her. But nineteen years ago, at the age of six, who spoiled him and healed him? Thinking about it now, she is really lucky, although she has been here for a year and there are many conspiracies, but at least one person has always protected her. Maybe it was just his interest, but Bai Zixiao did save her again and again.
Now, they are husband and wife, and they are in the same boat, coexisting with honor and disgrace. If he wants, she is willing to bear half of the killing on his body. But maybe in Bai Zixiao's eyes, she is a thrush who can't even make him happy!
He spoils himself, helps himself, protects himself, that's all.
After about two quarters of an hour, Acacia and Hua Xu came in to serve. Hua Qingmo's health is poor, and she only ate some bird's nest porridge after drinking the medicine. When she finished her breakfast, she summoned Mo Huai and Mo Bo in. Both of them wore the same dark robe, on which was embroidered with a four-clawed python with gold and silver thread, the head of the python at the front, and the python body snaked up until it reached the robe behind them, and wore the same blue and white jade dragon pattern jade buckle around the waist.
Hua Qingmo looked at the two of them slightly, and then asked out loud: "Mo Huai, are the concubines in the palace particularly close to the imperial doctor, or have they already known the imperial physician when they were outside the palace?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, Concubine Xi was raised in Yanzhou, the fiefdom of the Chu Palace, when she was young, she had a love affair with a little medicine boy, but when the prince of Chu was about to send Concubine Xi into the palace, the little medicine boy disappeared, and now the little medicine boy is now Zhuang Yunfei, the head of the Tai Hospital. Concubine Rou and Concubine Xian were friends when they did not enter the palace, and they also learned some medical skills. The status of the other concubines in the palace is too low, and the imperial doctor will ask for a peace pulse or something on weekdays, and there is no special closeness. Mo Huai replied respectfully in his voice.
These words made Hua Qingmo slightly stunned, she just asked Mo Huai to check at will, not wanting him to tell herself so many things. But that's good, so she doesn't have to waste time and send someone to investigate.
The harem of the emperors of previous dynasties was only four concubines, but after Situ Xuan ascended the throne, the daughters in the princely mansion were dazzling and full of flowers, so they broke the practice of the ancestors and sealed the five concubines. Although Concubine Ling Yanhua is only the daughter of the King of Shujun, the Shujun Royal Mansion made great contributions when the first emperor seized power, so although Ling Yanhua was not born to Concubine Xian and others, she became the head of the five concubines, and her status was second only to Queen Yechenxue.
The other four concubines are all from the Four Princes' Mansion, Concubine Yu Wenyan is the Mansion of Prince De, Concubine Xi Chu Yuanhua is the Mansion of the King of Chu, Concubine Situ Jingyi is Situ Heng's cousin, the daughter of the elder brother of the West Prince, Concubine An Baili Lou Xuan is the sister of Baili Yuche, and she is still her aunt. Now that Shu Guiren has a miscarriage, the four concubines seem to be possible, which really poses a big problem for Hua Qingmo.
After a moment of silence, Hua Qingmo looked at Mo Bo and said, "Mo Bo, you go to check the imperial doctor of the noble Shu, what is wrong with the imperial doctor?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, there is nothing wrong with the imperial doctor, and there is nothing wrong with giving Shu Guiren the fetal medicine every day."
Mo Bo's words came into his ears, Hua Qingmo's eyes drooped slightly for a moment, and then looked at Mo Huai and Mo Bo, and said, "Thank you two, you still have the West Factory in your hands to deal with, so you don't need to waste time with me." Besides, now that I am in King Xiao's Mansion, no one will dare to come here to be presumptuous. ”
"Madam, the overseer of the Xichang has already ordered it, and the two subordinates will only serve as Madame's escort before the overseer returns." Mo Huai said respectfully, and then he and Mo Bo saluted at the same time.
"If Madame has no orders, her subordinates will go outside and guard them, so as not to disturb Madame."
Hearing this, Hua Qingmo remembered something, and immediately used her ability to look at Mo Huai and Mo Bo, and the two had some familiar white bones in front of her, which made her a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, Hua Qingmo put away her ability and looked at the two of them, and said, "Before I married into King Xiao's Mansion, did you lurk in the North Courtyard to protect me for a while?" ”
Hua Qingmo's words made Mo Huai and Mo Bo a little surprised, and the two glanced at each other and nodded at the same time: "Yes." ”
The answers of the two made Hua Qingmo feel very wrong, why did Bai Zixiao want the two of them to protect herself? If it's a guard, you can choose someone else, so why let the two of them come? And, why send someone to protect yourself? She has never had any major events in King Ningjun, why would Bai Zixiao do this?
In an instant, a lot of things came to mind, like entangled red threads, intertwined, and each thread could be seen a little, but if you want to dig deeper, it will be mixed with other things, and it will be chaotic.
Because she thought about it too much, Hua Qingmo's internal breath became a little unstable. Acacia soon noticed that something was wrong, and immediately attached it to her wrist, and then her eyes sank, and said, "Miss, your internal injuries have not healed, so don't think so much, just take care of your injuries." Your internal injuries have not been easy to get better, and you have to take care of your body. ”
Hearing Acacia's words, Hua Qingmo nodded slightly and said, "I know, I won't be thinking about these things for the time being, just take a good rest." However, according to custom, I need to go back to the Ningjun Palace, although Zi Xiao sent someone to inform me that I will not return today, but I haven't seen Yuqing for half a month, and I have some worries in my heart. And my grandmother can't get up, although I'm married and can't serve every day, but now I can't even go to see her old man, it's really unfilial. ”
"If Miss is really worried, Acacia will go back to Ningjun Mansion for Miss to see. If the young lady really remembers Young Master Yuqing, Acacia can bring Young Master Yuqing to King Xiao's Mansion and talk to you to relieve your boredom. Acacia heard Hua Qingmo's words and replied with a slight smile. Although she can't help Hua Qingmo too much, she is still more than enough to do such things. Even if it's not a big deal, it can at least help Hua Qingmo relieve some of her sorrows.
Acacia's words made Hua Qingmo smile slightly, she nodded, and said, "That's okay, you go to Ningjun Wangfu to help me see grandma, and by the way, help her see how she is now, should I add some flavor?" And Yu Qing, he has such a temperament, I'm really worried about him, you can help me see how he is now, there is a lot of wind and snow in Ningjun Palace, he doesn't know if he has been blown by the wind and snow recently? ”
Hua Qingmo's words, of course Acacia understands. Although it was to visit the princess of the old county and Hua Yuqing, the things of the visit were different. The main purpose of looking at the princess of the old county is to see how effective the medicine is, so as not to make the princess of the old county suddenly get better, which makes people suspicious. And Hua Yuqing wanted her to see if he had been assassinated recently.
"Yes, Acacia understood." Acacia nodded, and there was an indescribable serenity and softness on her beautiful face. Then she looked at Hua Qingmo and asked out loud: "Miss, Acacia is back to the Ningjun Palace, can you bring Young Master Yuqing over to accompany you for a few days?" Even if it's just to relieve boredom. ”
Hearing this, Hua Qingmo smiled indifferently, and fell asleep peacefully with a smile, as warm as the wind. At this time, she leaned on a red pillow full of gold makeup, the gorgeous red reflected the skin on her face, like congealed cream, pure white as snow, and a trace of light powder, as if in the snow, a color of cherry blossoms quietly bloomed, the silence of beauty was leisurely, warm and casual.
Raising her hand, Hua Qingmo looked at her fingers and said, "The best protection is to stay away, Yu Qing is still young, he is so good, why ruin his young joy because I am involved in his affairs?" Although he has been raised in Tianyun Temple since he was a child, this may be God's preferential treatment to him! The earthly colors had never touched him, and she looked at him like she felt that at least he was still as good as ever, and that was enough.
Since Hua Qingmo said so, she would not take it upon herself to bring Hua Yuqing, she was just going to help Hua Qingmo visit him. Bowing slightly, Acacia was ready to retreat, but he had not yet left the cabinet. There was a knock on the door outside, followed by a respectful male voice.
"The head of the big stall, the head of the second stall, someone in the palace came and said that he wanted to see his wife."
