That night, the Empress Dowager sat in front of the dresser, and let Mama Wang comb her hair for herself.

"This emperor, worthy of being my grandson, knows how to judge the situation, and he will kill his sharp spirit today, so that he can put all those thoughts that he shouldn't have back in his stomach."

Mama Wang is not as optimistic as the Queen Mother.

"If Your Majesty...... What should I do if I am separated from the Queen Mother? ”

The Empress Dowager was unimpressed.

"He doesn't have the ability yet, even if she has this heart, she can break it for him! How long can a mourning family live? In the end, the emperor is the grandson of the mourning family, and the world is still in his hands, as long as he is not in a hurry. ”

But Mama Wang still didn't let go, she had been with the Queen Mother for many years, and she also hoped that the Queen Mother would be good, and she dared to say many things in front of her.

"I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't know the loving heart of the Queen Mother."

"For whom is the mourning family so deliberate? Not for him! The emperor should see through it if he is smarter, only the mourning family is wholeheartedly for his good. ”

The Empress Dowager got up and lay down on the bed with the service of Mama Wang.

"It's just that the emperor is still young, and he is not neat enough to do things, so the mourning family did it for him. Now the emperor's heart is not calm, he is afraid that he will be bewitched, and the mourning family can rest assured that he can seize this authority by himself, which is beneficial to the emperor and the mourning family. ”

The Empress Dowager has been immersed in the harem for many years, and she understands that only holding power in her hands is the most reassuring, she is thinking about the emperor, but what she wants is to let the emperor go down according to her wishes, if not, then she wants to let him go down according to his own will.

As long as she lives for a day, she will never let go of all the power in her hands, and she will not really care about the affairs of the government.

"The Empress Dowager knows what to do, and the old slave will be at ease."

Mama Wang put down the bed tent for the queen mother, and then bowed to her and withdrew, and when she arrived at the door, she invited the green pothos to come in to keep vigil before going to rest.

The draft is coming up in a few days, Luo Qing is worried about Shu Yige, and wants to take a look at her, but she is afraid that she will cause her trouble, after all, she can't believe who she is in this palace now, in case someone has bad intentions......

Thinking about it, she didn't go in the end, but on the day of the Xiu Girl election, she was waiting in the side hall where she rested worriedly, for fear that Shu Yige would be selected and enter this tiger and wolf's den.

Waiting for nothing is the most worrying, she knows that Yige is also unwilling to enter the palace, but she feels that according to Yige's talent, as well as the emperor's special intention to let the chamberlain go to Luo's house to announce the decree, it seems that the emperor will leave her in the palace nine times out of ten.

Just when she was sitting still, the eldest princess of Pingyang came with her little rabbit in her arms.

Luo Qing felt joy when she saw her round eyes, and her mood couldn't help but feel a little better, and she got up to salute her, but she stopped her.

"Little aunt, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are separated from me. What's more, you are my little aunt, where are the elders saluting and greeting the juniors? It should be me who salutes you. ”

Pingyang is really eccentric, and immediately greeted Luo Qing after saying this.

Luo Qing leaned away to avoid it.

"Eldest princess, don't be upset about Ruqing, Ruqing is not married yet...... Unruly. Don't ...... Don't call me Auntie, it's not good for others to hear it. ”

"I told you, just let you call me Pingyang."

Pingyang held the rabbit in one hand and Luo Qing's hand in the other, pouting, and looked at Luo Qing aggrievedly.

"Then when you really marry Uncle Xiaohuang, I will call your little aunt again, anyway, it won't be long before."

Luo Qing couldn't resist her, so she had to nod and agree.

"Okay, Pingyang, but let's talk about it first, I'll only call it that in private now."

In this palace, her favorite is Pingyang, who is straightforward, innocent and kind, and is willing to indulge her.

The eldest princess of Pingyang was satisfied, but her round eyes turned around, and she didn't know what she thought of, so she moved a little closer to Luo Qing.

"Today's draft, little ...... Ruqing, you can accompany me to take a look. ”

Q: Does Luo Qing want to go? She really wanted to go.

She wanted to see if Yige was chosen.

But this is the palace, not the Luo Mansion, not to mention that this has happened recently, so she has to be more cautious.

"It's better not to go, it's not in accordance with the rules."

"It's okay, let's go quietly, we won't be discovered. The first time the imperial brother was drafted, I also went to see it, and the imperial brother also knew about it, and he didn't punish me. ”

Pingyang is still trying his best to persuade Luo Qing.

"It's a lively place, and there are a lot of beautiful sisters."

Luo Qing shook her head and smiled, "You, I'm all worried about my beautiful sister!" ”

Pingyang didn't feel embarrassed, and said quite confidently, "Everyone has a love for beauty." Let's go, the imperial grandmother, the queen mother, as well as the royal brother and sister-in-law, are all excellent people, even if they are discovered, they will not say anything, at most they will be disciplined, and it will not be painful. ”

Luo Qing wants to say, you are the eldest princess, you have the first noble status in Daqi, and you are held in the palm of your hand by the noble person at the top of Daqi, and you will be reprimanded at will, but I am not, I am just the daughter of a waiter, and I am still an unfavored concubine, and I don't want to cause trouble for my brother anymore.

She wouldn't have said these words, but when she said them, she seemed to be complaining about Pingyang.

Pingyang is like this, it is rare to be pure, why bother to let her know these things?

"Pingyang, I really can't go, or I'll accompany you......" She reached out and stroked Xiaobai, it was really supple, "Let's pet the rabbit together?" ”

Pingyang didn't expect Luo Qing's attitude to be so resolute, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, but grievances are grievances, she is not a rude and willful person, so she retreated and said, "Then let's go to the Imperial Garden to play, shall we?" Xiaobai also likes it there. ”

It's close to the election palace, so we'll be able to hear the news first.

How close can it be? It's just that the show girls will pass by the imperial garden when they go back to Chuxiu Palace.

Luo Qing was really helpless about Pingyang's careful thoughts, but it didn't hurt in this way, not to mention that she was also worried about singing, so she nodded in response.

The two of them had nothing to do left and right, and there was not much sun today, so they simply strolled over, but because of the accident in front of the Linghe Palace, the two had to take a detour.

Pingyang thought that Luo Qing didn't know that there was a palace maid who had smallpox in the Linghe Palace, so he looked around, and deliberately pulled her to whisper, "There are palace people in the Linghe Palace who have smallpox, and several palace people who often sweep the Linghe Palace are all trapped in the Linghe Palace, and no one can enter." ”

Luo Qing nodded, "Fortunately, there is no mother to live in the Linghe Palace, and there are few people left in the palace, otherwise I am afraid that there will be more people infected with smallpox." ”

"No, I heard that there was another palace person who had an illness yesterday." Pingyang looked left and right again, for fear that people would hear it, "The imperial sister-in-law has issued a decree early, in order to avoid panic inside and outside the palace, no one in the palace is allowed to discuss in private. ”

Indeed, this matter cannot be disseminated.

Now that Daqi has just solved the civil strife caused by the drought in Rongzhou, and is still appeasing the people's hearts, Dingguo Gong has not returned to the north to resist the Huns, and at this time there is news that someone in the palace has smallpox, and there may be some rumors outside.

"Did you find a doctor to show them? Is there a way? ”

"There's no way, the imperial doctor said, if you are in good health, you can survive it, but if you can't survive, you can't do it, you can only sprinkle some lime powder inside and outside the Linghe Palace every day, and boil some medicine to suppress the condition regularly, depending on the destiny of heaven."

Pingyang sighed.

"Those palace people are also pitiful."

Luo Qing nodded, "Yes." ”

It's really impermanent.

She is also a doctor, and she has deeply experienced the feeling of seeing a life pass away in front of her, but she is powerless.

Smallpox cannot be cured, there is medicine that can play a role in one or two points, but it cannot be cured at all, but it is just to help the sick person to survive, but how many people can survive?

She couldn't help but shake her head, she was thinking crankily again.

Pingyang saw it and asked, "Ruqing, what are you shaking your head for?" ”

Luo Qing was in a good mood and smiled at Pingyang: "It's just that laughing at yourself is just making me sentimental." ”

"Then ......" Pingyang tilted his head and looked at Luo Qing, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Luo Qing nodded firmly, "Do your best, let it be fate." ”

When they arrived at the Royal Garden, the two turned a corner and were about to step on a pavilion, intending to take advantage of the cool and drink tea, but they saw that the pavilion had already been occupied.

- It's Concubine Li.

Luo Qing and Pingyang met Concubine Li, and the two of them tacitly agreed to find an excuse to leave, but they were left by Concubine Li's words.

"What? Don't want to see this palace like this? Pingyang, is this palace your cousin or is she your cousin? She glanced at Luo Qing, "You have to make it clear that your relatives are far away!" ”

Luo Qing actually didn't expect that Pingyang didn't like Concubine Li very much, and Xu didn't like it, but he was worried about her, and he was going to run away when he saw her.

She didn't want her to be embarrassed, so she simply opened her mouth for Pingyang.

"The concubine is laughing, the concubine is the concubine, the eldest princess of Pingyang is the princess, where does Ruqing dare to be the cousin of the eldest princess of Pingyang, and she doesn't dare to compare with the concubine."

She doesn't like Concubine Li, but she still has to do face work.

Concubine Li snorted coldly and didn't respond.

Although Pingyang is innocent and simple, he can understand the words, knowing that she and Luo Qing can't leave, and Concubine Li doesn't like Luo Qing, and doesn't want the relationship to be too stiff, so she smiled and pulled Luo Qing to sit down together.

"Oh, Ruqing, sit down together, don't be so polite, you will be my little aunt in the future, and we are all a family."

Luo Qing was choked on the spot by Pingyang's words, this is really a pot that can't be opened, I don't know if this is the reason why Concubine Li doesn't look down on her?

She could only barely maintain a smile and look back at Concubine Li, seeing Concubine Li's ugly face, her mood was strangely better, as if she was not bad at being angry.

Concubine Li was angry with her cousin more than once for having no eyesight, but she couldn't really ridicule her, so she had to find someone else to vent her anger.

She didn't eat the walnut kernels that had been peeled by the palace people in her hands, and threw the walnut kernels to the palace people who were peeling walnuts with her.

"What walnuts were peeled? Weird toothy! ”
