Chapter 16: The Cold Pool
The two returned to the Ripple Palace, and happened to meet Zelan, who came out to find someone.
When I asked, I found out that Concubine Rong was back and was looking for her.
Chu Tianxin followed Zelan to the concubine's bedroom, and Chayan followed her closely.
Stepping into the hall, Concubine Rong was reading a book on a wicker chair. She had no ring decoration on her body, and a loose bun on her head, which was not even worn at all, and the fat powder on her face had been washed. She was originally bright and charming, and she was even more charming in a bamboo-blue skirt, and her skin was as clean as white jade. It's just that his complexion is quite haggard, and he seems to have lost a lot of weight compared to the previous days. It also adds a little bit of sickness to Xizi's weak beauty.
The palace maid Huawu stood aside, holding a fan and shaking it gently. Seeing Chu Tianxin enter the house, she leaned over again and quietly reminded Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong raised her head happily, the scroll in her hand, just stood up but stumbled, but fortunately, there was a flower mist to hold on, so she was spared from falling back on the couch.
"Xian'er, come here." Rong Guifei beckoned with a light smile.
Chu Tianxin had some relationship with her, but thinking of her caregiver these days, she couldn't help but feel grateful.
After being stunned for three seconds, he still put on a stiff smile and walked over.
When Chu Tianxin approached, Concubine Rong touched her head dotingly: "Xian'er, why did you get up today, does your chest still hurt?" ”
A few days ago, Chu Tianxin had been lying on the bed in a daze, stretching out her hand to eat and opening her mouth, without saying anything, she was served in all aspects, and naturally she and Concubine Rong never said anything. And this Concubine Rong was born extremely beautiful, Chu Tianxin unconsciously became nervous in front of her.
Her tone was childish, and she couldn't speak well: "It hurts, it's just ...... It's just that the room is stuffy, and I remember...... Walk around, breathe, let the mother ...... worried. ”
Before the words fell, it immediately attracted a soft sneer, Chu Tianxin turned her head to look, and Hua Wu, who was standing on the side, was covering her mouth.
Concubine Rong was also arrogant to this palace maid, and she didn't care about it, and only said: "Yes, you have been lying on the sickbed for one or twenty days." It's the mother concubine who is not thoughtful, except for the morning and dusk in the future, the mother concubine will accompany you, where do you want to go, the mother concubine will accompany you. Have you finished drinking today's medicine? ”
Chu Tianxin shook her head dumbfoundedly: "Not yet, I haven't eaten dinner yet, don't you have to finish eating to drink the medicine?" ”
"Doctor Wan ordered that a dose of decoction should be taken in the morning and evening, the dose in the morning should be taken after meals, and it does not matter whether the dose is before or after meals in the evening. Previously, you were asked to take it after meals, but a few days ago you were very weak, and you were afraid that the medicine would be too strong and you would suffer. But you can get out of bed and walk around today, and you want to recover a lot, so you can take it an hour before dinner, so that you don't have a spleen and stomach block. Concubine Rong turned to the tea flue again, "You are the personal palace maid in the princess's palace, have you remembered what this palace said?" ”
Chayan bowed and saluted: "Slave and maid remember." ”
"In two days, Doctor Wan will come to the palace to ask for the princess's pulse, saying that he wants to change the nourishing prescription, what Doctor Wan said, you have to remember it really, not a word is allowed to fall, you know?"
"Yes, the concubine Niangniang, you are at ease, the slave maid was ordered to serve the princess in the Ripple Palace, and she will be loyal and dedicated, no worse than when she was filial to the Queen Mother." Cha Yan heard that Concubine Rong seemed to have a warning in a few words, I was afraid that she was worried that she was the queen mother's person, and she would not serve the princess attentively, but Cha Yan did not panic, and replied steadily.
Chu Tianxin saw that although Cha Yan's words were aimed at Concubine Rong Guifei, her eyes glanced at Hua Wu from time to time, and the two of them were quite disgusted with each other.
In this regard, Chu Tianxin had doubts in her heart.
"Let's pass the meal." Concubine Rong turned her head to Hua Wu and said.
Two eunuchs set up the dining table, spread the tablecloth, and several palace maids lined up with red lacquer boxes in their hands, and quickly served various dishes, meals, soups, etc. to the table.
The fragrance of the food wafted slowly, and the greedy Chu Tianxin swallowed her saliva. Rong Gui looked at his daughter's little gluttonous cat demeanor, couldn't help laughing, and swept away the grievances he suffered today: "Xian'er, your father loves you, he heard that Xian'er can get out of bed and move, so he ordered Zhen Yu to make your favorite sour bamboo shoots, chicken sauce, sharkskin soup, shrimp balls, shredded chicken soup, and goose and duck stew." ”
The names of these dishes sounded delicious and delicious, and Chu Tian swallowed his saliva again, but in line with the Chinese virtue of respecting the elders and loving the young, he still took Rong Guifei's hand and said, "Mother, let's sit down together." ”
Unexpectedly, Concubine Rong's steps were not steady, and before she could finish the two steps, she almost fell, and almost overwhelmed Chu Tianxin.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Chu Tianxin asked with concern.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Rong Guifei's forehead, and she squeezed out a smile to soothe: "The mother concubine is fine, Xu has been standing for a long time, and her legs are numb." ”
Only after saying a few words, how could I stand numb.
Chu Tianxin was about to ask.
Hua Wu, the palace maid beside Concubine Rong, couldn't hold back, and said urgently: "What, this is all the anger of the queen mother who sprinkled her grounding anger on the concubine Niangniang." Obviously, he wanted to punish the concubine, and he also used the excuse of praying for the princess. What to say is to show sincerity, being a mother must be a personal practice, and respectful things can be effective. I was stunned to let the concubine Niangniang kneel under the scorching sun for two hours, her legs were scalded by the hot ground and there were many blisters, and the concubine Niangniang was weak, where could she stand this crime, and now she couldn't stand steadily. ”
"What?!" Chu Tianxin is also a nosy master, as soon as she heard that Yourong Guifei was bullied, she wanted to check her injury, but she didn't think about it but was pushed away by the concubine, she said to Chayan sharply: "What kind of system, quickly pull away the princess." ”
Seeing this, Cha Yan stepped forward and hugged Chu Tianxin.
Rong Guifei's face softened: "Xian'er, it's only been two hours of kneeling." This is not the first time in the harem, and it is not only the mother concubine who has knelt. And the mother concubine prayed for Xian'er, as long as I could exchange Xian'er for safety, this was my willingness, and it had nothing to do with the queen, even if the queen did not know the order, I should also invite myself to kneel in front of the Buddha with the green lantern. ”
The old sow with bra is really one set after another.
Since she has her scruples, Chu Tianxin doesn't bother to argue with her, so as not to attract suspicion.
Traveling through this inexplicable dynasty, it is still this kind of harem of deceit. Whether she can survive or not is unknown, where can she dare to stand out for others.
After finishing the meal, she returned to her dormitory, Chu Tianxin's thoughts fluttered, and she wandered beyond the sky.
She wondered if there was a way to go back in China in the 21st century.
Cha Yan looked at Chu Tianxin's stupid appearance, thinking that she was still minding what the concubine had just murdered her. Then he said: "The concubine is not murdering you, she loves you the most, she is just worried that you will see that her injuries are serious, and she will insist on standing up for her, and I am afraid that it will cause greater trouble." Now the princess's safety is the only thing the concubine wants. ”
Chu Tianxin came back to her senses: "What did you say?" ”
Cha Yan repeated what she had just said.
After listening to her, Chu Tianxin recalled the bits and pieces of getting along with Concubine Rong over the years, and her nose was a little pantothenic. After thinking about it for a long time, she made a decision, since she had already come to this plane. Then live well with the identity of Wan Qi. Accept everything that Wan Qian does not envy, including her identity, her circumstances, and her parents.
Whether you can wear it back depends on the will of God.
As for this queen, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp, and sooner or later she has to make a move.
