Not long after Qiao Qian'er left, Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen heard the news that the family members of the princess's mansion came to report the news-

"Report to the princess and the concubine, the queen mother is here!"

"What? It's so late, the Queen Mother hasn't rested yet? Chu Xiaoxiang asked subconsciously.

The person who delivered the news looked at Chu Xiaoxiang inexplicably.

But Chu Xiaoxiang frowned slightly: "Hurry up, please!" ”

The other party nodded, and Chu Xiaoxiang soon saw that the Queen Mother was dressed in a dark robe, accompanied by a group of palace maids, and came to the moon with a lamp.

"When has our Changle Palace been so lively? And such a lively scene, there was no notification to the mourning family? ”

When the Queen Mother first came, there was a little dissatisfaction in her thin voice, but the things she asked seemed to mean something.

"Queen Mother, you are laughing, how dare you not inform you of the affairs of Changle Palace? This matter ......" Chu Xiaoxiang was about to speak, when the Queen Mother bit her lip and raised her hand to point at Helian Chen on the side.

"I didn't talk to you, princess" The Queen Mother opened her mouth, and the voice of her voice made Chu Xiaoxiang a little surprised, obviously with a trace of obvious anger, and immediately, she called her "princess".

Chu Xiaoxiang pursed her thin lips lightly: "Horse, the mourning family heard that you are about to be happy?" And who is that Qiao Qian'er? ”

The Queen Mother was asking, only to see Helian Chen standing in place with his hands clenched into fists, looking silent.

Chu Xiaoxiang was stunned and was about to speak, but the Queen Mother just now obviously didn't intend to let her speak.

"That Qiao Qian'er, how does her appearance compare to the prime minister's daughter Ning Ning?" The Queen Mother was talking, when she saw a woman in plain clothes walking from outside the princess's mansion, accompanied by two maids beside her.

"Qiao Qian'er, I've seen the Queen Mother......" As soon as Qiao Qian'er said, she saw the Queen Mother slightly hook the corners of her lips.

"Who are you, Qiao Qian'er?" As she spoke, the Queen Mother glanced at Qiao Qian'er, and said, "This appearance is quite good, but it's a pity that it's far from the prime minister's daughter!" ”

Seeing the Queen Mother's displeasure and the appearance of words in her words, Chu Xiaoxiang nu the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly stepped forward to accompany the Queen Mother: "I'm sorry, Queen Mother." I am really to blame for this matter, I was about to enter the palace tomorrow to perform this matter with you, how do you know that you will come first? ”

Chu Xiaoxiang had a well-behaved expression, and kept flashing her eyes towards the Queen Mother when she spoke, but the anger on the Queen Mother's face still did not subside.

"Tomorrow into the palace to play? So why has this Changle Palace been arranged today? I'm afraid that you just want to hide the mourning family, and when the mourning family is confused, so you want to have a prelude to the first and then the prelude?! ”

After the Queen Mother finished speaking with an angry face, Chu Xiaoxiang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't dare, Queen Mother." Without your meaning, even if you have great ability, you won't dare! ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, glanced at Ji Range, looked around again, and saw that Helian Chen had always been silent without saying a word, and the Queen Mother snorted: "You girl, the mourning family has watched you grow up since childhood!" What do you think you think, the mourners will not know? If you don't take the initiative to come over this time, I'm afraid that this Changle Palace will have to play a first cut and then a play! ”

"Chop first and then play," Ji Range pursed her lips, her eyes flashed with a clear light, since this queen mother knows better than anyone else, why bother to ask her?

was displeased in his heart, so he saw the Queen Mother and said: "But since the rotten wood has been completed, then according to the mourning family, since they want to marry, it is better to marry Qiao Qian'er and Ying Ning together, so that the mourning family can be regarded as worry-free!" ”

"Huh?" Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly showed a shocked and embarrassed expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother glared at Chu Xiaoxiang angrily, thinking that if this girl dared to say a word, she would never nod her head and agree to let Helian Chen marry Qiao Qian'er! After all, she is suffering a loss in this matter!

Chu Xiaoxiang hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing." ”

"Okay, then this matter is decided, you can prepare for it!" As the Queen Mother spoke, her gaze shifted to Helian Chen.

Helian Chen pursed his thin lips again, but he didn't speak, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would say those words, he didn't want to marry anyone but was cornered by Chu Xiaoxiang!

Seeing that Helian Chen didn't say anything, the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth hooked slightly, turned around and returned to the outside of the palace, riding on the eight-person carriage, ready to go back to the palace to rest.

Chu Xiaoxiang saw that as soon as the Queen Mother left, Helian Chen covered his chest with his hands, took a few steps back, and gasped for breath with a painful face.

She stepped forward to comfort her, but she was afraid that Helian Chen would suddenly change her mind at this time, so she immediately turned around and went back to the room, thinking that she would have to enter the palace early tomorrow morning.

This incident is also an important reason why she recently pretended to hold a wedding in Changle Palace, but it was actually to hide people's eyes!

Chu Xiaoxiang went back to the room, and as soon as Xiangshang lay down, she heard a sound of footsteps, coming from outside, she knew that it was Helian Chen who came back!

Immediately pretended to be sideways and fell asleep with his face facing inward, Helian Chen originally had a lot of things to say to Chu Xiaoxiang in his heart, but when he saw that Chu Xiaoxiang was already facing sideways inside, he ignored him.

He endured the displeasure in his heart and shook Chu Xiaoxiang's shoulder, but Chu Xiaoxiang had no intention of waking up.

Helian Chen had no choice but to lie on the bed and fall asleep side by side with Chu Xiaoxiang.

I don't know how long it took, when he opened his eyes again, Chu Xiaoxiang had already disappeared.

Helian Chen got up and sat on the edge of the bed with a sad look.

When Chu Xiaoxiang first entered the palace, the people in the palace who were in charge of the etiquette department who were responsible for storing the classics had a slightly surprised expression when they saw that it was the princess Ji Range who came.

Wang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly saluted Chu Xiaoxiang and said, "Princess, the lower official has seen the princess." Wei Chen heard that the magpie of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was standing on the branch and screamed a little louder than usual for some reason, and he was a little puzzled, but he never thought that it was Princess Gulun who came in person! ”

Chu Xiaoxiang waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's actually nothing. It's just that the colt has not been feeling well recently, which suddenly made me want to learn medical skills. I wonder if you have a book about medicine? ”

Hearing Chu Xiaoxiang say this, Wang Wei hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, but the classics are over there, princess, come with me!" ”

Wang Weizheng said, led Chu Xiaoxiang to the left of the main hall of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and walked three hundred steps up the corridor There is a room, and there are rows of neat bookshelves in the room.

Chu Xiaoxiang stood next to those bookshelves and stopped, only to see that those classics about medicine were pressed with a thick layer of ash, as if no one had taken care of them for a long time.

Chu Xiaoxiang touched the book closest to him, raised his hand and flicked his fingers on the book, and there was a feeling that the strong crossbow was in ashes.

"It's all before, is there a case? Simpler? Although Chu Xiaoxiang deliberately wanted to introduce the topic, the tone of his voice was a little careless.

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Xiaoxiang: "Princess, do you want to see the case?" ”

He raised his voice lightly when he spoke, and then was silent for a while, and nodded: "Yes, the medical materials of the emperors of the previous dynasty and the concubines in the palace are all here, and even the information of the former emperor is ......."

"The First Emperor?" Chu Xiaoxiang muttered in his mouth, isn't the first emperor Ji Ranyu's imperial brother Ji Ranyu? So she pouted a little and said to Wang Wei: "Wang Shangshu, you are really not talking cheerfully, spitting?" ”

Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiang was starting to be a little unhappy, Wang Wei hurriedly comforted: "It's not that it's not refreshing enough, it's just that the information you want from the princess is too private, and Weichen is afraid that if the queen mother asks about this matter in the future, even if the lower official has ten heads, I'm afraid it won't be enough!" ……”

"If the Queen Mother asks, you will say that I forced you" Chu Xiaoxiang pursed her lips lightly, and as she spoke, her eyes wandered and looked around, "Don't worry, as long as you hand over those materials to me, there are only you and me here." If you and I don't tell us, who will know? ”

Wang Wei frowned: "What the princess said seems to have some truth, but it's just ......"

He was still a little worried, but he looked at Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Xiaoxiang was looking at him with a displeased and nervous face, Wang Wei had not been in the palace for a day or two, thinking that he had heard in the palace that the princess Gulun was arrogant and arrogant. When I saw it today, it was as if it was all rumor!

Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiang looked good, although she was a princess, she did not use the power of the princess to suppress him, but spoke with him in a deliberative tone: "Okay, if the princess really wants the information of the first emperor, the information is over there, you can go and see it yourself." But don't embarrass the princess about this matter, if the information in this palace is lost, and the lower official is the guardian of the classics here, it is a question whether the black yarn hat can be kept, and more importantly, I am afraid that even this life is ......."

"Okay, I know," Chu Xiaoxiang pursed his lips lightly and said to Wang Wei: "Wang Shangshu, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you to do this!" ”

Wang Wei pursed his lips, as if everything had never happened, and turned away with his hands behind his back.

Chu Xiaoxiang walked straight in the direction that Wang Wei pointed out just now, only to see a big "seal" written on the bookshelf, and the official seal was stamped underneath.

She took a deep breath and carefully tore the seal, and sure enough, not long after opening the seal, she found the booklet containing the medical directory of her imperial brother Ji Ranyu among the books that greeted her.

To be precise, not only is there a medical directory, but even Ji Ranyu's diet and daily life, three meals a day are also recorded in the booklet, but the date is stuck in the year before Ji Ranyu's death - the eighth day of the winter month of the twenty-fourth year of Ji Guoyuanyin.

Because Ji Ranyu ascended the throne and followed the name of the first emperor, even though he had been the emperor for eight years, it had already reached the twenty-fourth year of Yuan Yin. But in this way, what happened in the last year before the death of the imperial brother Ji Ranyu?
