When Bai Ling came out again, the two mothers-in-law were already standing outside respectfully waiting.

Bai Ling took them back to Chengqian Palace alone, and the two of them didn't say a word on the way for the first time, just shrunk their heads like quails.

When he returned to Chengqian Palace, Bao Yuan was personally explaining the rules to a few new palace people - they would have to wait in front of Niang Niang in the future, and Bao Yuan was not at ease if they did not teach him personally.

Seeing the returning Bai Ling, Bao Yuan temporarily stopped what he was doing, "Hey, why did you come back so soon." ”

"It didn't take long, I went early, and I came back early." Bai Ling said, "Besides, didn't Granny Shu want me to come back earlier in the morning?" ”

Bao Yuan laughed and slapped Bai Ling lightly, "You are a sincere person, but what is positive about this kind of thing...... Don't be busy, just wait here for a while. ”

Bai Ling stood in place and waited, casually glancing at a few young palace maids on the side.

Those people were so frightened that they shook their spirits and quickly avoided their gaze.

Bai Ling was a little surprised, but he also closed his gaze.

Is this a person who also thinks of himself as a Yama......

There's nothing wrong with that.

When Bao Yuan came back, Bai Ling saw that she had an extra bulging cloth bag and an oiled paper tube in her hand.

"It's ......"

Bao Yuan beckoned, motioned for Bai Ling to get closer, and then said in a low voice, "The cloth bag is a goose down mat, and the stone slab behind the rockery is too hard, it's not good to kneel for a long time, I'll give you a few more, and you can also use it to keep out the cold when it's cold."

"The oil paper contained an umbrella and a small pot of water and dry food. If it rains again, you don't have to kneel stupidly, pack your things, grab an umbrella and come back quickly, no one will watch when it rains anyway. ”

Bai Ling was surprised for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a little moved.

Bao Yuan pushed the thing into Bai Ling's arms, "Take it quickly, what are you doing in a daze." ”

Bai Ling hesitated slightly, "You do this, in case—"

Bao Yuan laughed again, leaned into Bai Ling's ear and said, "Let's tell you the truth, this is all ordered by the mother, she doesn't want to see you suffer too hard, and you don't push yourself too hard." ”

Bai Ling was stunned, and then took the cloth bag and the oiled paper tube with both hands.

"It's going to be hard for you these past few days." Bao Yuan was a little distressed.

"Where." Bai Ling just shook his head, and looked sideways at the short and fat woman behind him, "You bring an incense burner again, and the Buddha bone incense to be used today." ”

"Okay." The short and fat woman responded very flatteringly, and then lowered her head, trotted for a while, and went to the storage room of the Chengqian Palace.

That posture seemed to be a little more attentive than when the old lady was there.

Bao Yuan couldn't help but choke there for a while.

…… What is this, what is the situation?

Bai Ling turned around and said to the tall and thin woman, "Go and get me a small desk for kneeling, not too high, just let me read with my hands." ”

"Eh, eh! The girl waited. The tall and thin woman also took action immediately.

Bao Yuan's eyes straightened when he saw it - the sun came out in the west!

These two old things...... There are times when you are so obedient!

Bai Ling looked at Bao Yuan again, and said softly, "That Niangniang is here, and I have to worry about my sister taking care of it." In the afternoon, when she feels better, it is best to go out for a walk, even if she does not leave the palace gate, she can only walk around this Chengqian Palace. ”

Still immersed in indescribable shock, Bao Yuan nodded indifferently.

After the two mothers-in-law had taken their things, Bai Ling took them out again.

……

It was about dusk on this day that Qu really woke up. She felt that her sanity had regained and that her mind was not as dull and tired as it had been during the day.

It's about this time of the day that I really have the strength to think about something.

Qu Shi was in a very calm mood, she looked at the evening sun shining through the window, and drank the thick porridge fed by the treasure duck one by one.

Everything around is peaceful and serene, this is the golden hour of every day, and the burden of the heart seems to be lifted a lot, as if there are many things to hope for in the future.

Even though he knew in his heart that all this was a fleeting illusion, Qu cherished this moment of peace.

"That's enough." Qu tilted his head, "I'm full." ”

"Niangniang, you just drank half a bowl," Bao Yuan didn't put away the bowl, and there was a bit of anxiety on his face, "You haven't eaten at noon, how can you drink such a half bowl of porridge at the end of the day?" ”

Qu Shi looked at Bao Yuan, reached out and pulled a few strands of broken hair from her ears behind her ears, and said softly, "But I really can't drink it, if I'm hungry at night, let's talk about it." ”

Qu Shi ordered this, and Bao Yuan could only accept the bowl.

"What would you like to eat tomorrow morning?"

"Whatever, whatever." Qu Shi was disgusted.

Bao Yuan's heart suddenly felt a little sullen - she didn't remember how many times, no matter what she asked Niangniang wanted, she always answered like this.

Whatever, that's all, so be it.

It seems that he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't care about anything.

Bao Yuan gritted his teeth to hide his sadness, and suddenly remembered Bai Ling's advice during the day, adjusted his tone, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll help you get up and walk." ”

Qu Shi still shook his head, "I don't want to move." ”

"You're just lying in bed all the time, you're not hungry, and you don't have the strength, listen to the slave, get out of bed and walk!"

Before the words fell, Zheng Shu on the side had already glared at Bao Yuan.

Bao Yuan didn't speak, just looked at the concubine with blank eyes.

Zheng Shu also stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, the imperial doctor also said before, you have to be active every day, if you are tired, then we will not go out, it is okay to walk a few laps in this house, you see." Qu sighed and silently stretched out his hand, "...... Then help me to stand in front of the window. ”

Bao Yuan hurriedly leaned over and helped Qu Shi to sit up, and Qu Shi sat on the edge of the bed for a while before slowly getting up and going to the window.

The palace people set up a window for the concubine, and at this time the sunset was about to set, and the last trace of afterglow was reflected in Qu's eyes, reflecting her eyes in a brilliant golden light.

Qu Shi stood there, waiting for the golden crow, which was almost blood-colored, to slowly slide down the palace wall, and then she turned around and walked back to the couch.

When she passed by the middle desk in the room, Qu suddenly felt that something was not quite different from usual, she stopped, and slowly scanned the surroundings.

“…… What about the two mothers-in-law. Qu Shi suddenly asked, "It seems that I haven't seen them all day today." ”

Bao Yuan smiled, a little gloating, "They, they're busy today." ”

"Busy?" Qu Shi looked at Bao Yuan with some concern.

At the beginning, my mother specially asked His Majesty to send these two people into this Chengqian Palace, just to record Qu's daily life here.

Who did she meet, what she ate, how many times she cried and laughed...... On the second day, it will be passed to the old lady of the Qu family, and in the evening, the old lady's instructions will be transmitted back to the Chengqian Palace through them.

Old Madam Qu's original intention was naturally to be concerned, but it was just ......

Qu Shi only felt his heart sink, "What are these two people busy with?" ”

"Today, Miss Bai Ling went to the Imperial Garden to pray for incense, and they followed!" Bao Yuan quickly replied.

Qu Shi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes dimmed, and she sighed again, "...... Let's let that kid suffer a little. ”

Although I don't know why those two people are eyeing her......

But if she can see the sinister hearts in the palace, and taste the despair that is unanswered...... It's good.

When she wants to retreat, she will find a way to send her out, maybe she can understand her hard work.

Bao Yuan suddenly laughed, "Oh, Niangniang, you are wrong, not what you think." ”

Qu Shi was a little dazed for a moment, "What?" ”

"Those two mothers-in-law were treated obediently by Miss Bailing, and today she went to the imperial garden to pray for incense, and the incense burner was carried by both of them!"

Qu thought he had misheard.

But looking at the dancing mood of the treasure mandarin eyebrows, it seems to be right.

"What's going on?" Qu asked.
