Chapter 45: Pengshan Clouds
In broad daylight, the maids waiting outside the courtyard watched He Ran being forcibly taken away, but they lowered their heads timidly and fearfully.
"Auntie, these days, you should watch more inside and outside the courtyard," she gave Yu Fen a silver ingot, as if admonishing and warning: "Remember, don't make any mistakes!" ”
Yu Fen took a bite of the silver ingot in front of Gu Qianqian, and the old face blossomed: "Qian'er, don't worry, I am old-fashioned!" ”
Seeing this, Gu Qianqian's face showed disdain, such a money-hungry old woman in the countryside, she really didn't understand what Chen Rongfang had brought her for.
In the afternoon, Gu Zhenglin came to the courtyard to see Chen Rongfang for a while, and seeing that she was still unconscious, he asked Gu Qianqian and Xiao Peisheng, who were guarding on the side, and made sure that Chen Rongfang was just too weak, and the rest were fine, and then went out of the house again.
Recently, Gu Zhenglin always likes to run out, especially after listening to Xia Qing's words, Gu Qianqian intuitively feels that this is not right.
She beckoned to a servant of the courtyard who was sweeping: "You go and follow the master and see what he is doing when he leaves the house." ”
"Yes, Second Miss."
She stood anxiously for a few moments, until a faint cry came from the bedside, and she came back to her senses.
"Qianqian ......"
"Mother." She hurriedly trotted over and held Chen Rongfang's hand: "You can be considered awake." ”
Chen Rongfang had just woken up and couldn't stand the ups and downs of her emotions, Gu Qianqian comforted her a few words, fed her a bowl of medicinal porridge, and after a while, fell asleep again.
Occasionally, Xiao Peisheng probed her pulse a few times, and she was more optimistic than expected, and the big stone in Gu Qianqian's heart fell to the ground.
"Dr. Xiao has worked hard."
Xiao Peisheng put away the pulse pillow, raised his head, and looked at her nakedly: "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, Second Miss, after the fact, five thousand taels of silver tickets, not a penny less." ”
"Five thousand taels?" Gu Qianqian was so shocked that she shouted: "Xiao Peisheng, you might as well grab it!" ”
"Second Miss, don't get excited, this matter, at this price, if you think the price is too high, you can find someone else." He hung up the medicine box and laughed lewdly and treacherously.
What a gynecological saint who claims to be a benevolent hand in Jinling is a sinister villain who is greedy for money and sex!
"You can calculate this transaction again, and you won't lose money." As he spoke, he suddenly approached Gu Qianqian, took a deep breath in her ear, and his eyes were a little intoxicated: "Second Miss, to be honest, although this girl is good, no matter how you compare, it is difficult to compare with half of your appearance." ”
"You ......" Gu Qianqian slapped his palm on his face, and her apricot eyes glared angrily: "Get out!" ”
"Hahaha......"
got the beauty fragrance, and was willing to die drunk, Xiao Peisheng laughed and shook his sleeves, and left with a satisfied face.
…………
The night is coming slowly, the autumn night wind rises, blowing the yellow leaves all over the ground, and the vermilion wall of the deep palace is hidden in the mottled and dim light and shadow, inexplicably giving birth to a little bleak.
Qi Lingtian retreated the guards behind him, and Gonggong Pei was in front of the palace lamp, and a few meters in front of him was the Taihua Palace of the current Queen Mother.
"Pei Wan, the Pengshan Cloud and Mist Longjing that Liantai County paid tribute to is not in my palace, but Taihua Palace actually has it."
"Uh......" Father-in-law Pei paused, carried the lantern forward, and the three big characters gilt on the palace gate shone brightly: "The queen mother has always loved to drink this tea, maybe there was a lot of storage in the palace last year, so ......"
"Come on," Qi Lingtian pursed his lips and looked at him, with a mocking look in his eyes: "She never drinks old tea." ”
"Oh, look at the old slave's mouth......" Pei Gonggong slapped his mouth and looked at Qi Lingtian with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you Shengming, don't embarrass the old slave......"
"Let's go," Qi Lingtian lowered his hand, his eyes were heavy: "The people of the Xiao family love to drink this tea!" ”
The Empress Dowager Deyi especially likes the lanterns, every night, the palace is always full of palace lights, colorful, and looks extremely luxurious.
"Your Majesty."
When the eunuchs and maids in the palace saw Qi Lingtian coming, they knelt down and saluted one after another.
Xiao Shushen heard the sound and walked out with the hand of Mama Qi, who was in charge: "Is the emperor here?" ”
"The Queen Mother." Qi Lingtian replied lightly.
Mingde Shangyi is her title canonized by the former Jin Emperor. Although she is a mother-in-law, she is not a biological mother.
"Don't stand outside, Emperor, come in." Xiao Shushen is graceful, and the elegance of the year can still be seen between her eyebrows.
There are also a variety of meals on the dining table, all of which are arranged by the small kitchen of Taihua Palace, fine and extravagant, and only one dinner is enough to cover the expenses of a whole day in the palace.
Xiao Shushen asked with concern, "Is the emperor ready for dinner?" ”
Qi Lingtian glanced at the table full of meals, and said with a light smile: "I have already used it in Taiming Palace, and I came here tonight to taste the Pengshan clouds in the mother's harem." ”
"Look at me," Xiao Shushen smiled: "I almost forgot about this, Mama Qi, hurry, make the tea and serve it." ”
The two of them immediately sat down, and after a short time, Mama Qi came up with fragrant tea.
In an instant, the room was full of tea fragrance.
Qi Lingtian opened the lid of the cup, squinted and sniffed: "This mountain cloud and mist, it is really a rare tribute tea, it smells fragrant and elegant, the entrance is sweet, and the lips and teeth are fragrant." ”
"This is the first autumn tea of this year, and it can be regarded as Qifeng's filial piety, and he sent a lot of them into the palace to the mourning family."
When Grandpa Pei and Mama Qi heard this, their faces were stunned.
Qi Lingtian nodded indifferently: "Well, it's okay for him to think about the aunt of the queen mother." ”
"Emperor," Xiao Shushen took a sip of tea and looked at Qi Lingtian as if worried: "The mourning family specially asked you to come over this time, because I want to ask your opinion." ”
"Queen Mother, please speak." He put down the teacup and met Xiao Shushen's gaze.
"Yesterday, the mourning family received a letter from Concubine Zheng Guifei greeting her, which said that the concubines and concubines who were far away in Liangshan Palace missed the emperor very much, and begged the mourning family to ask you for a favor to see if they could be allowed to return to Jinling."
Qi Lingtian breathed heavily, and the smile on his face froze: "Leaving them in the palace is to recite scriptures and keep filial piety for the deceased Queen Duanyi." ”
"But the emperor, let the concubines recite the scriptures and keep filial piety to the queen for three years, it is not in accordance with the rules......" Xiao Shushen frowned and sighed: "Besides, the emperor is in the prime of life, and the harem is empty, so it should be for the sake of the Great Jin, and it should be ......."
"Queen Mother," Qi Lingtian interrupted him coldly, his face was already extremely displeased: "Whether it is in line with the rules or not, I only count if I say it." I'll take care of it, so don't bother. ”
"Hey," Xiao Shushen saw that Qi Lingtian was so desperate, so she had to shake her head helplessly: "That's it, just let them stay longer." ”
The two were silent, each holding a tea cup, absentmindedly sipping tea.
After a while, Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly put down the teacup and sighed sadly: "Hey......"
"Queen Mother, why do you sigh suddenly?"
"Just mentioned the queen, the mourning family remembered her appearance when she died, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, and then thought about Lin'er, I only felt ......"
