In the blink of an eye, what the ladies did in the past three days was to accompany the queen mother to the garden.

There is a wide pond in the garden of the palace, which is full of lotus flowers, and it is the height of summer, and the lotus leaves are infinitely green.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the weather was not cool, so the ladies followed the queen mother and walked around the curved bridge built by the water.

The Queen Mother invited the female dependents here, in fact, to find an opportunity for the female dependents to gather, but also to gather the hearts of the royal family.

The ladies are mostly stuffed in the house on weekdays, with their husbands as the sky, and the days of the concubines, it is rare to be able to chat with sisters of the same status and talk about their experiences.

Mei Xiaoren is not a person who likes loneliness, but she is almost silent these days, unless the Queen Mother asks.

She didn't speak because she really didn't talk about the short things in these parents, such as how to discipline and cultivate children, and how to clean up the spoiled concubines......

All she knows is handling cases, running errands, and managing the yamen, and these experiences seem to be useless to the female dependents. She silently looked at the lotus flowers in the pool, all of them came here just to enjoy the lotus, and she could be liberated by staying up for another four days.

"Is that the young general who saved His Royal Highness King Yu?"

I don't know who asked, and the other ladies cast their eyes on the opposite side of the lotus pond.

There was a group of Praetorian soldiers patrolling the garden, all wearing armor, but there was one man with a different armor that made it clear that he was a general.

A female dependent said: "I heard that the one who escorted the Queen Mother this time was the major general, and there was only one general there, so it should be." ”

"It looks like a young and promising person, I heard that he is the son of General Zhenguo, who once lived in Xuanzhou and grew up in Xuanzhou."

Haoyang sneered: "Xuanzhou, a poor and remote country, what good people can come out!" ”

Everyone knows who Princess Haoyang's words are aimed at, but the Prime Minister's wife is worthy of being a big official, and she has the amount of tolerance, and she has not put on a face in the face of Princess Haoyang's snarky words, but it shows that the princess is a little childish, and she is not even more generous than Miss Ji.

Mei Xiaoren is used to Haoyang's frequent tongue-in-cheek behavior, and that little girl is afraid that she wants to chop her up, but she only dares to speak quickly, which is already a kind of torture for her.

Mei Xiaoren didn't care because she was also looking at the other side, the person who was talking to her subordinates was Ye Zhi, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to let the Praetorian Guards in the palace go out of tune this time, and specially transferred the Praetorian Army to escort her.

Mei Xiaoren retracted his gaze and walked forward silently, accompanied by Aunt Rong, a female official.

said that she was an aunt, but in fact, she was in her early twenties, not necessarily older than her, and she should be born better than the palace maid to become a female official. In the past few days, Aunt Rong has taken good care of her, and her service is very thoughtful, and she is naturally very polite to Aunt Rong.

"Madame is sweating."

Aunt Rong saw a layer of fine sweat on Mei Xiaoren's forehead, so she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped Mei Xiaoren's face.

"Thank you."

A gust of wind swept through the lotus pond, and the slim lotus flowers swayed in the wind. The wind blew to the opposite bank, and Ye Zhi's lieutenant looked at the opposite side and said to him: "Young General, the Queen Mother and the ladies are over there." ”

Ye Zhi turned her head and caught the figure from Qunfang at a glance, she just looked back, and she almost met his gaze.

When he saw it, he couldn't bear to look away, and even forgot that he should salute the Queen Mother.

The adjutant general also looked at the other side, it was precisely because the Queen Mother was gone and the young general had not yet seen the salute that he felt strange, but it was not for some reason.

He boldly asked: "The young general likes the prime minister's wife?" ”

Ye Zhi came back to his senses, looked sideways slightly, and said coldly, "No rumors." ”

Is it a rumor, of course the adjutant general knows it in his heart, not to mention anything else, just say that on the day when the major general returned to the camp before his injury was healed, the major general did not lead troops to patrol the city, but it was the brothers who patrolled the city who told the young general that the prime minister's wife went to the drunken immortal residence, and the young general followed him to the east of the city.

The young general has been guarding outside the drunken immortal residence, and finally guarded until his wife came out, in order to prevent disturbing his wife, he pretended to patrol the city and pass by.

Since then, whenever they have any movements of the prime minister's wife, they have to report to the major general.

The adjutant general arched his hand: "The last general understands, young general, you should know the prime minister's wife earlier than the prime minister, if you like it, why don't you start earlier?" ”

Ye Zhi's eyes darkened, that's right, he should be the one who gets the moon first near the water, isn't it?

He looked there, and suddenly saw the ladies all stop and huddle together.

Some palace maids and eunuchs shouted one after another: "Mrs. Gu has fainted, quickly, quickly pass on the imperial doctor." ”

Ye Zhi's heart tightened, and he also grabbed the sword in his hand, and ran towards the arch bridge not far away without thinking too much.

By the time he ran across the arched bridge and out of the crowd, the two maids had already helped her up, but her eyes were closed and there were many beads of sweat on her face.

Ye Zhi was anxious and had to take care of the overall situation, there were all female dependents here, and he was a foreign minister, he couldn't call her name, seeing that they were going to take her away, he could only retreat and make way.

Mei Xiaoren was already unconscious, his hand was on the palace maid's shoulder, his sleeve was pressed by his hand, and the jade bracelet on his wrist was exposed.

The Queen Mother was stunned when she saw the bracelet, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, quickly find the imperial doctor to come to Mei Xiaoren for diagnosis and treatment, and make sure to make her safe!" ”

Ji Nanrou noticed the Queen Mother's strange appearance, supported the Queen Mother, and was concerned: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

She followed the Queen Mother's gaze and saw that the Queen Mother was staring at the bracelet on Mei Xiaoren's wrist.

"Auntie, the bracelet ......"

"That's Gu Xiang's mother's thing, Mrs. Gu is like a treasure, she often wears it, the mourning family has seen it many times, I remember that once she took it off when she was soaking in hot soup in the other garden, and was stolen by a new minion, Mrs. Gu was so angry that she fell ill, and the old prime minister Gu was furious, and ordered someone to dig three feet into the ground to find out the thief."

"And then?"

"Later, it was naturally found, the things were returned to their original owners, and the nine thieves were all wiped out."

The grandmother beside the Queen Mother said: "Niangniang, the slave maid heard Ah Rong say that the bracelet was put on by Gu Xiang himself, and this intention is ......."

"Gu Xiang is a police officer to tell the mourning family and you that he, like his father, loves his wife like his life, and if his wife makes a mistake, he will be investigated to the end." The Queen Mother let out a long sigh and patted Ji Nanrou's hand, "Rou'er, did the mourning family do something wrong?" ”

Ji Nanrou shook her head, "With what I know about Senior Brother, if my aunt doesn't invite Mei Xiaoren to come and doesn't treat her the same as other wives, Senior Brother will be even more unhappy." He also persuaded, "Auntie, don't blame yourself, in my opinion, she is not in good health, she is just suffering from heat stroke, it will not be a big problem, listen to what the imperial doctor has to say." ”

"If you are in poor health, will it be because you are pregnant?"

Someone in the crowd muttered, and everyone shut up.

The Queen Mother's brows not only did not loosen, but she also wrinkled even tighter anyway, almost anxious: "Why did the mourning family forget this one, now is the real trouble!" ”

The corners of Haoyang's lips raised, "What's the trouble, it's good if you don't have it!" ”
