Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Flower Viewing Event

"She originally asked the emperor for three years, but the emperor only gave her one year, and she wasn't sure how far she could do in a year, so she had to try it."

"This ...... Okay," Zheng Shu was still a little worried, "After all, she is so young, should Niangniang invite the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to discuss with her?" ”

Qu shook his head, "No. She said, 'Let's do our best, and we'll be fine.'" ”

Zheng Shu stopped talking.

Indeed, this is the truth.

But isn't it irresponsible for a doctor to say such a thing......

Zheng Shu thought for a long time, and finally sighed, "Since the mother believes her, the slave can only believe her." I just don't know what she wants to do? Did this lady talk about today? ”

"Well, the initial goals of treatment were discussed today." Qu's voice became lower and lower, "I just want to be able to sleep and eat every day, and ...... else Didn't think about anything anymore. ”

With that, Qu lies on her side in the direction of the inside of the bedβ€”which usually means she doesn't want to talk anymore.

Even if Zheng Shu still has too many questions to say, she can only be silent at this time.

Zheng Shu suddenly felt that there was something wrong in her heart.

She is the one who watched Qu grow up, but now Qu would rather chat with an outsider for an hour than say more to herself.

What went wrong...... Zheng Shu couldn't think through it, but she could only take this bitterness and step forward to pull down the veil for Qu's family.

Early the next morning, before the hour, Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan got up.

Yesterday evening, Father-in-law Jia sent a message saying that a group of newcomers in the palace would come over early this morning. At the same time, those palace maids who were relatively familiar with Old Madam Qu before were all named and transferred to places such as the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Huanyi Division for various reasons.

Bao Yuan's eyebrows were overjoyed, but Zheng Shu couldn't laugh.

What about those people, even if Mrs. Qu put them in the palace, after all, they are their own family, and they know everything no matter what.

Now what kind of newcomers Jia Yuchun has exchanged, only these newcomers themselves know.

"How's the vacancy going on?" Zheng Shu asked.

Bao Yuan smiled and handed over a roster, "Mother-in-law, look, there were a total of eleven people in our palace yesterday, and now it's clean!" ”

Zheng Shu took it and squinted her eyes and looked at it seriously.

"We'll have to change it again." She pointed to a place on the roster and said seriously, "All the newcomers today, don't let them enter the main hall to serve, and all of them will be outside to be rough palace maids for a while." ”

"Huh?" Bao Yuan blinked, "Are there still a few mothers-in-law here who used to serve the old concubine, and they are also put outside to do rough work?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Shu nodded, "Let's all separate them first, don't let them touch the mother." ”

Bao Yuan understood for a while, "Okay, then I'll move people's heads again." ”

Outside, the sky was getting brighter.

The two changed their clothes and went to the courtyard to wait together, and as soon as they went out, they saw Bai Ling also packing up, carrying a small bag, and holding a small table in his hand, looking like he was going to go out.

"Where are you going?" Bao Yuan ran down the steps in a few steps, "Why don't you lie down more?" ”

She reached out to probe Bai Ling's forehead, and sure enough, the heat had subsided.

Bai Ling replied, "I was delayed yesterday, and I will continue to go to the Imperial Garden today to pray for the Niangniang." ”

Bao Yuan and Zheng Shu were both stunned, and their expressions quickly turned from surprise to helplessness.

Zheng Shu sighed, thought about it, and stepped forward and said, "You are sick after all, and there are many dispatches in the palace in the past two days, and there is a shortage of manpower...... If you raise more in the palace, it can be regarded as a help, and the old lady will not know. ”

"Do you know, God knows, my mother-in-law and sister also know." Bai Ling smiled,

Bao Yuan immediately answered, "Hey, didn't you understand? Mother-in-law means to say, we won't talk to the old lady about this! ”

Zheng Shu stroked her forehead, some words couldn't be said so clearly, but Bao Mandarin didn't leave any bottom.

Bai Ling still shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but since I have accepted this errand, I still have to do it to the end." ”

"That being the case, then pay more attention to the Bai Si Yao," Zheng Shu didn't hold anything anymore, but said in a deep voice, "I can't hold it anymore, so I'll come back and rest." ”

Bai Ling nodded and was about to go out when there were many footsteps outside.

"Here we are."

Hearing Bao Yuan's self-talk, Bai Ling couldn't help but stop his steps and watch the changes on the side.

The person who came was indeed Jia Yuchun, he walked in from outside with seven or eight palace maids of different ages, and when he saw Zheng Shu, he smiled and saluted.

After some politeness, Zheng Shu asked Bao Yuan to take these newcomers to familiarize themselves with their own work, Jia Yuchun looked like he still had something to say, stood aside and did not leave.

Zheng Shu said politely, "What else does my father-in-law have to say?" ”

Jia Yuchun looked at Zheng Shu and bowed, "The maid who came today is all explained by the Lord Long Live personally, and I carefully selected it, if there is anything wrong, you can always tell the slave maid." ”

"Father-in-law Jia is polite," Zheng Shu also smiled, "You are the person brought out by Gonggong Huang himself, how can I not believe in the ability to pick people, there is Gonggong Lao's trouble." ”

"By the way, there is something ......" Jia Yuchun's voice lowered, "The slave maid still has to explain to Granny Shu, you see ......"

Jia Yuchun's gaze flashed over Bai Ling's position.

Zheng Shu thought for a moment, but still said, "Father-in-law, let's say it directly, there are no outsiders here." ”

Jia Yuchun was obviously a little surprised, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Ling again, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, "Look, slave maid...... It's abrupt. ”

"Father-in-law, don't mind." Bai Ling said softly, "What are you trying to say?" ”

"Hey, it's the cherry blossom viewing party at the end of the month." Jia Yuchun said with a smile, "Last year, Niangniang was pregnant with a dragon and didn't make it, the slave maid thought, this year Niangniang shouldn't want to miss it." ”

The annual flower viewing party in the palace has been inherited from the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Initially, it was just a spring feast for the royal family, but it gradually became an annual event in the inner court, and some important officials of the court were also invited to participate in it. Each family has children of appropriate age, and they will also take this opportunity to bring them out to meet them.

Therefore, on this day, everyone is often admiring both flowers and people.

As for the women of the harem, this is another extremely rare opportunity to appear before the holy car, how many people just want to get a glimpse of Emperor Jianxi under the peach forest and apricot blossoms on this day. Even if there is only a few words of conversation and laughter, soon after that, you will be able to give Your Majesty a chance to sleep once or twice.

Even, the organic sensitive person saw that it was too difficult to attract the attention of Emperor Jianxi, so he took this opportunity to get familiar with some concubines with deep backgrounds, so as to hold a thick branch in the future......

In short, everyone has their own abacus, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that this cherry blossom viewing party is very lively year after year.

Zheng Shu didn't know this, she sighed almost imperceptibly, and replied lightly, "Don't miss it, it's also up to the mother, we can't call the shots." ”

Jia Yuchun lowered his eyes, as if he had already understood Zheng Shuhui's answer, and he smiled, "I know, but the slave maid heard that Niangniang's illness is severe day and night, so this time the flower viewing party, the slave maid deliberately scheduled the time in the evening." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Shu's eyebrows moved slightly.

This is something she didn't expect.

She looked at Jia Yuchun againβ€”the eunuch was still bowing and smiling, and his posture was humble.

This arrangement is obviously intended for the consideration of Concubine Qu, but ...... Jia Yuchun's relationship with Chengqian Palace was not close before, and this sudden overture, especially when the concubine was declining, seemed both precious and suspicious.

Zheng Shu didn't answer for a while.

Jia Yuchun said again, "The main reason is that this time the Huizhou Mansion sent a few batches of Phnom Penh night primrose, as well as two pots of freshly budding beauties under the moon, these flowers and plants are not common in the palace on weekdays, and the flower viewing party is held every year, and the slaves and maids also want to change the patterns and make a fresh picture." I also stopped by to sell personal favors, and my mother-in-law didn't have to worry about it. ”

Zheng Shu nodded, "That's the case...... That's really thanks to the father-in-law. ”

"Nothing." Jia Yuchun said with a smile, "In the final analysis, it's all for Long Live Lord." Long live the Lord with a mother in his heart, that mother is good, long live the Lord can be comfortable. ”

Seeing Zheng Shu stretching her brows, Jia Yuchun also relaxed slightly.

"Well, I have a question." Bai Ling suddenly blinked his eyes and looked at Jia Yuchun curiously.

Jia Yuchun hurriedly said, "Bai Siyao, please speak." ”

"Where did my father-in-law hear that Niangniang's illness is severe during the days and light at night?" Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, "Did Gonggong Huang tell you on purpose?" ”
