Chapter Forty-Eight: The Helper
Looking at Liang Baikai to the night, she finally realized the true feeling of a bowl of dried medicine.
"Has my body been recuperating well lately?"
After the imperial doctor finished checking the pulse, he said with a smile: "It only takes a few days before you can leave the palace."
Xiang Yeqi was happy when she heard it, but fortunately, she would stay up for a few more days, but tomorrow was the flower viewing banquet, and Wu Zixi also persuaded her not to go.
"There's nothing to go about, sister, although your body looks almost good now, you still have to rest more, and you can't be too tired." Wu Zixi brought a cup of hot tea to Xiang Yeqi.
"It's okay, don't worry, if you don't accompany me these days, I'm afraid I'm going to suffocate."
"Sister, don't laugh at Zixi, it's just that I want to accompany my sister, over the years, in addition to my aunt and my mother, it seems that you are the only friend I know."
Wu Zixi took her arm and sat beside her.
"Don't stop me tomorrow, I'm going to this flower-viewing banquet well, but can I say that they still can't do it as a patient? When the time comes, I and the fourth prince will have a good show. Xiang Yeqi smiled at her with a shy appearance.
Wu Zixi naturally understood, and couldn't help laughing: "My sister and the fourth prince are so affectionate, my sister is really envious." ”
Xiang Yeqi looked at her a little: "What are you anxious about, you will definitely meet a better person to accompany you in the future." ”
I believe that soon, Wu Zixi will also be able to find a man who really loves her.
She is the queen's favorite county lord, if she is not shy, I am afraid that many sons and daughters have come to the door to propose marriage.
……
When Wu Zixi went to the queen at noon, the queen was having lunch, and the maid next to her was giving her vegetables.
Seeing Wu Zixi coming, the queen put down the bowl in her hand and wiped her lips with a handkerchief.
"Zixi, come and eat with Gumi."
The queen's mood seems to be good these days, although her birthday was not satisfactory, Wu Zixi's changes in the past few days are somewhat obvious.
She used to cringe a little when talking to the queen, but now she seems to let go a lot.
The last time Xiang Yeqi and Wu Zixi met the concubine, it reached the queen's ears, and they were happy for a while.
Bo Zhaoxu and Xiang Yeqi were equivalent to a slap in the face of the reply, and the most important thing was that Wu Zixi was willing to speak for Xiang Yeqi.
"Auntie, the fourth princess will also participate tomorrow, you have to prepare well, her face has only recently regained some rosiness."
The smile on the queen's face did not decrease, and of course she agreed: "That's natural, Zixi, your performance has been seen by your aunt recently, and these four princesses seem to be also good-tempered, and your aunt has guided you all these years and can't afford the time she has stayed with you." ”
"This ...... Auntie, I don't think much has changed. Wu Zixi was a little unconvinced, and continued: "I just think that it seems very restrained to stay with my aunt, but staying with the fourth princess is a topic that can be talked about." ”
"It's good that Zixi can get along with her, but she is more dangerous tomorrow, the first time she participated in the last birthday banquet, she caused so many things, and she herself has a lot of infamy, and she has set up a lot of enemies."
These Wu Zixi understand that she, the fourth princess, is always bullied, and many people want to harm her.
"Got it, Zixi knows this."
……
The following morning, Xiang Yeqi had already lost her sleepiness, and her waist was about to break.
As soon as she got up to drink water, someone pushed the door open and came in, and several maids were carrying a lot of things, all of which were brand new clothes and rouge, as well as water for washing.
Such a battle, of course, the queen is supporting her.
"Fourth princess, these are all here to serve you to wash, you still get up early, don't worry, there are still two or three hours before the banquet."
This banquet is noon, and these maids have prepared things so early?
She almost forgot that the harem girl had to get up very early when she heard it.
It's the rule.
She's just a patient now, and of course she doesn't have to worry about that.
Thinking about it, Wu Zixi's girl should be on the queen's side.
Usually not by his side, he just ran to talk to the queen.
The queen is also blessed, she has loved her for so many years, and she finally knows how to be filial.
In the eyes of the queen and others, Xiang Yeqi is not yet well, and he has lost a child, so the color of his clothes and rouge are very light.
Just had a miscarriage and wore flowers, and she must be said that the queen was really thoughtful.
Xiang Yeqi secretly sighed in his heart that the queen was indeed a veteran, and she thought about everything.
When the rouge was applied, the maid also clicked a few times.
It's just that the clothes are a little heavy, and the fabric should be thicker to prevent yourself from freezing? She was suddenly unsure that this was something that the queen had arranged.
The queen is in charge of so many things, and these people have arranged everything, as if they have been staring at this matter and arranging it intently in the past few days.
That should be Wu Zixi taking care of it from the side.
It took almost an hour to get to work.
Isn't this banquet still early? There are two hours left.
Wu Zixi had also just dressed up and entered Xiang Yeqi's room.
She didn't wear bright clothes today.
"Why are you dressed so lightly?"
"Zixi is just...... I don't like that kind of brightness. Wu Zixi's smile was a little stiff.
Could she not know this little bit of thought?
The two quarreled for a long time and had lunch, but Bo Zhaoxu didn't come today.
When I asked people to inquire this morning, he seemed to have already returned home.
It stands to reason that you shouldn't go over and see it today.
This made many people who want to watch the play very confused.
Could it be that the two of them have caused some kind of contradiction?
Wu Zixi didn't understand the situation, but Xiang Yeqi didn't care, didn't he say acting? Of course, this has to be realistic.
Won't there be a howl at the banquet?
Besides, with the waist card in hand, why do you have to go over in the morning?
Xiang Yeyan thought to herself, at this time she and Wu Zixi had already come to the banquet.
Xiang Yeqi sat down first, and it happened that Wu Zixi's seat happened to sit next to her.
Think about it to know who arranged it.
"Sister, look, the one who is beautiful in a green shirt over there is Concubine Liu, I heard my aunt say that Concubine Liu and Concubine Guifei have always been at odds, and as long as the two stay together, something will inevitably happen."
Xiang Yeqi raised his eyebrows, with the mentality that he was indeed watching a play.
Wouldn't that be a good show to watch today?
On the contrary, he is a key person who can be a good melon eater.
"Today's concubine is definitely going to come to this kind of occasion, will it be said that these two people are going to cause some trouble at the banquet?"
"This is for sure, my aunt has always maintained a neutral and play-watching attitude, if this really makes my aunt out, then she must be the first to help Concubine Liu."
Wu Zixi's voice was not deliberately lowered, it seemed that these people had long been aware of the struggle between Empress Liu and the concubine.
This concubine is arrogant and domineering, which is in the eyes of everyone, but Concubine Liu is also the first time she has seen it, and she looks like a cold woman from the outside.
I think it was a long time ago that the concubine provoked Concubine Liu, and the two argued.
The queen arranged some trivial matters over there early.
This is busy, and the flower viewing feast is just in time to begin.
"I invited your sisters to come over to the flower-viewing banquet today, so as to make up for the last birthday banquet in the main palace, and I didn't invite your sisters to go with you."
The queen's birthday, such as the concubine Liufei, must participate, but there were too many people participating in the banquet at that time, I am afraid that the venue will not be able to be placed, and the emperor feels that the courtiers are all there, and the harem women participate, and the banquet is too cumbersome, so naturally they are not allowed to participate, but the county lord and princess of the Chang Dynasty can.
Therefore, this flower-viewing banquet is equivalent to a birthday banquet in disguise, but the participants are the concubines of the harem.
"Last birthday gift,The palace has already received.,This flower-viewing banquet,You can let go of playing.,Recently, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right.,The palace will also open the flower-viewing banquet next to the imperial garden.。 The queen has always been sovereign, so there is a hint of majesty when she speaks, but her tone is gentle.
People who don't know the queen think that she is very gentle and approachable at first glance.
has been able to sit firmly in the middle palace for so many years, and the queen's means are by no means false.
No matter how arrogant this concubine is, she still fell a big heel in front of the queen.
When the concubines sat down and the two in the middle promised to make a little disturbance reach the queen's ears, the queen naturally didn't care, and sent the two of them back directly.
blatantly made a small episode at the flower viewing banquet, does this not take the queen in his eyes? The two promised to have time to make trouble.
"Recently, the people below have become more and more ignorant of the rules, and they dare to openly make trouble here without looking at any occasion, oops, Sister Liu, don't you say?" The concubine frowned lightly, and seemed to want to provoke Concubine Liu.
It's always okay to find fault.
"What the concubine said is wrong, people make trouble to attract attention, even if you don't make trouble, you will always attract criticism all the time."
The concubine had already fought with Concubine Liu for three hundred rounds, and the two naturally developed a situation where they were not ashamed or annoyed: "Sister Concubine Liu, where is this, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, how can the limelight of this palace be compared with the queen?" Sister Concubine Liu, don't say the wrong thing. ”
The queen saw that the two of them had led the matter to her, and she was displeased: "You two shut up." ”
"Yes."
Seeing that the queen was unhappy, of course the concubine was happy, and if the queen was angry, then her goal would be achieved.
Looking at Concubine Liu's face again, it was still the same as before, although she couldn't say how cold she was, she always didn't smile.
"Today's flower viewing banquet, I don't know how the fourth princess is doing?"
The people who were still waiting for the queen to say something were a little unable to react to this twist.
Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly led to her, and Xiang Yeqi was also caught off guard.
Concubine Liu's melon didn't take two bites in a hurry, and she was moved to the stage first.
"Eh, back to the queen's mother, the concubine's body is much better, but she still needs to drink a few more patches, it should be almost fine." Xiang Yeqi sat there and stood up and answered.
The queen took care of her body, smiled at Xiang Yeqi for a while, and asked her to sit down quickly.
