Chapter 82: The Princess Falls Ill
Yao Chuxi stood in the sun for a while, and then returned to the pavilion to sit.
After drinking the tea and using a lot of snacks, the three of them discussed going back to the back garden.
After arriving at the back garden, it was time for lunch, Yao Chuxi invited the two of them to Yingxue Pavilion for lunch together, even if it was to entertain the two.
This trip can be busy for Jiang Liu, it is not enough to bring Xiao Yongzi alone, and he is worried about the insecurity of bringing others, so Luo Xia also went with him.
Luoxia was the first time to go to the dining room, and she hadn't come to get food even when she was serving Shu Cairen before.
"Is it cold?" Jiang Liu asked.
Luo Xia shook her head, "It's not cold, it's a good day today." ”
Jiang Liuyi didn't know what to answer, and the three of them walked like this.
Luo Xia still wears the silk hairpin that Jiang Liu gave her on her head, as for the green jade, she doesn't wear it today, she usually wears two hairpins instead.
Yuan Shaoyu also saw Luoxia for the first time, so he didn't think much about it, and asked, "Who is this girl?" ”
Jiang Liu replied, "Her name is Luoxia, and she is the personal palace maid of the little master." ”
"It turned out to be Miss Luoxia." Manager Yuan smiled and invited the three of them to sit down, and the apprentice hurriedly came over and took three bowls and poured a bowl full of hot water.
"What does Yao Meiren want to use today?"
"The little master invites Ju Meiren and Xiao Meiren to dine together today, and also asks Manager Yuan to watch and do it."
Yuan Shaoyu nodded, and went to the back to work.
After Xiao Meiren arrived at Yingxue Pavilion, she noticed the embroidery patterns that Yao Chuxi usually used to kill time, and her hands itched, and she embroidered a few stitches with needles and threads.
Yao Chuxi watched from the side when she was embroidering, and from time to time the two looked at each other and smiled.
Ju Meiren sat on the low couch, stunned to look at the picture of the wild goose hanging on the wall.
"This painting belongs to Concubine De, right?" Ju Meiren asked.
Yao Chuxi took his attention away from the embroidered cloth on Xiao Meiren's hand, and replied, "Yes, the last time Concubine De said that she wanted to drink the tea here, I sent it to me as a return gift." ”
Ju Meiren nodded, "I see." ”
"What's wrong, sister?" Yao Chuxi asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, this painting is Concubine De's favorite one, and she is not willing to give it away easily."
"I see." Yao Chuxi was a little embarrassed: "This really makes Concubine De break the bank." ”
While he was talking, lunch arrived.
Luoxia entered the house and set up a meal with Luoxue.
The first thing to take out was a red plum bead incense, which Yuan Shaoyu made specially because he remembered that Yao Chuxi loved to eat it.
The second dish is steamed sea bass, which has a light taste and is perfect for them.
The third dish is braised pork. Yuan Shaoyu doesn't make this dish often, and even Yingxue Pavilion doesn't eat it often, but only eats it occasionally.
It's not that Yuan Shaoyu didn't do anything with his thoughts, it's just that the people in the palace haven't eaten anything delicious and drunk? Braised pork is only fragrant when eaten occasionally, and if you cook it often, no one will remember it.
In the other food box, the upper layer is a soup with shredded radish, and the lower layer is a few pancakes and a plate of dim sum.
In the third food box is a steamed pork, which is steaming hot, next to the steamed pork is a sweet potato roast, which tastes sweet and soft, and on the lower layer is a plate of cabbage rolls and a plate of dried fish with sauce.
Cabbage rolls are made by cutting cabbage into wide slices and rolling them into sauce meat and ham, and putting less vegetables in them. Dried fish with sauce is a bit particular, you need to wash the small fish to remove the fish, then steam it out to dry, smear it with sauce and castrate it in the jar, and it can really taste after a long time.
Xiao Meiren hadn't eaten such an elaborate lunch for a long time, but after all, this was in other people's realms, and the owner didn't say anything, where could she eat with a swagger?
Yao Chuxi saw her thoughts, and said with a smile, "Two sisters, let's eat quickly, the food will be cold for a while, and the taste will change." ”
It may be that he has been with the emperor for a long time, and even the meal has become a lot more casual, and he has completely lost the nervous feeling when he went to the Taihe Hall for the first time. But now that he is dining with Ju Meiren and them, Yao Chuxi feels that it is not as easy as eating with the emperor.
After lunch, the sky outside was a little overcast, and the afternoon sun was imperceptibly blocked by the clouds.
Ju Meiren and Xiao Meiren left Yingxue Pavilion one after another, Yao Chuxi was going to go out for a walk, but Luoyu said that she had been out for a whole afternoon, and now she had to rest.
Helpless, she had to sit on the couch and read a book for a while.
"If the emperor doesn't come today, the little master is bored?" Han Shanggong asked.
Yao Chuxi raised his head when he heard this, smiled at Han Shanggong, and put the book in his hand on the table, "Why are you here?" ”
"It's boring to think about the little master, come and play chess with you for a while."
Although life in the palace was boring, fortunately, time passed quickly, and after a while, it was dark.
Duan Kui came once, sent some fresh fruits, and relayed to Yao Chuxi that the emperor would come over tomorrow and asked her to prepare.
The next day, the emperor came to Yingxue Pavilion.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."
The emperor helped her up, "Go in and say, it's cold outside." ”
The palace people turned from asking for peace to being busy with themselves, and after a while, there was no one in the courtyard.
"I heard that Ju Mei and Xiao Mei had lunch in Yingxue Pavilion yesterday?" The emperor was looking at the book and suddenly asked about this.
Yao Chuxi paused and replied, "They were left by the concubines." ”
The emperor didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Your Majesty..."Yao Chuxi's voice slowed down a lot, "Does the emperor know about framing Xiao Meiren after the abolition?" ”
The emperor put down the book in his hand and looked up at her, obviously unaware of this matter.
Yao Chuxi said it briefly, and the emperor understood.
"Xiao Meiren also really loves the emperor, and the emperor should treat her well." Yao Chuxi paused for a while, and then asked, "Do you remember Ju Meiren?" ”
The rain is on the side, and I am really anxious for my master. The emperor didn't come back and forth to listen to these trivial matters, how could everyone take care of the government when he was so busy? But the master kept mentioning it, just afraid that the emperor would be angry.
But in fact, the emperor didn't, but took her hand, "Are you so generous?" Aren't you afraid that I'm going to spoil others? ”
Yao Chuxi has thought about this question many times, there are gains and losses, nothing is long-lasting, she looked at the emperor and replied firmly, "If the emperor intends to favor, the concubines will naturally not compete and get angry, there are so many sisters in the palace, the emperor can be wet with rain and dew, so as not to let anyone be blinded for a while and do anything wrong." ”
The emperor nodded and pulled her into his arms, "I know." ”
There were no superfluous words, and there was no clear indication of his attitude, but for no reason it made Yao Chuxi feel stable.
Guan Shanggong came once and sent some new clothes, shoes and socks, as well as a box of handkerchiefs.
There are many kinds of veils, including satin, silk, and cotton. Silk and silk handkerchiefs do not absorb water, and are generally used by the master's mother. The cotton cloth cloth is very practical, and it is generally distributed to the palace people.
Yao Chuxi asked Luoyu and them to pick one piece each, and asked Han Shanggong to pick one more.
Whoever picks the handkerchief knows what the person's personality is like.
Luoxue knew at a glance that he was a young and heartless man, and picked a cotton cloth handkerchief, on which were embroidered a few small wildflowers that could not be named, and there was a little white rabbit in the center of the wildflower.
Luo Yu picked a lotus-colored handkerchief embroidered with acacia flowers, and at first glance he knew that he was a person who did not want to fight.
Luoxia chose a very gentle water red, embroidered with a light dark flower pattern, which matched her gentle personality.
Han Shanggong looked through a box of handkerchiefs, and finally picked out two pieces, one blue-gray and one blue.
The color of these two handkerchiefs is very light, and it is not like the color that young people like to use, and they basically lose their color after two times in the water.
Han Shanggong folded the veil with a smile and returned to the west hall from the east hall.
The emperor was busy today, and after sitting in Yingxue Pavilion for a while, before it was time for lunch, he drove back.
I heard that Princess Yun Yan had a cold and started a fever, and the imperial doctors all went, and the emperor was relieved and went.
After the abolition was disposed of, Princess Yunyi's body was not very good, and she often had nightmares at night, so naturally she couldn't live in Fengluan Palace, so the emperor took the initiative and sent her to Gao Shunyi.
Originally, the best candidate should be Concubine De, but the emperor felt that Concubine De still had to worry about the trivial matters of the harem, and she would definitely not be able to take care of everything.
Although Gao Shunyi is not outstanding in appearance, she is honest and sensible, and she is more relieved to hand over Yun Cheng to her emperor.
It's just that Yun Cheng's illness this time really made the emperor worried.
Pan Zhenan whispered to the emperor, Yao Chuxi didn't hear it too clearly, only heard Princess Yun Cheng and Bi Jingxuan.
She knew that Bijingxuan was where Gao Shunyi lived. She also knew that the emperor sent Princess Yun to Bijingxuan.
She doesn't know if she should make a statement on this matter, and she doesn't even know what is going on, how to make a statement?
Han Shanggong asked Jiang Liu to go out to inquire, and he came back after a while.
It turned out that it was inconvenient for him to enter and leave the harem, so Ding Zhou went in person.
Yao Chuxi had no choice but to wait for news in Yingxue Pavilion.
When the emperor arrived at Bijingxuan, Princess Yun was asleep, and her small mouth was slightly long.
Gao Shunyi took the work of the palace maid, and was carefully wiping Princess Yunyi's body with a wet handkerchief.
"What are you doing?" The emperor lowered his voice and asked.
Gao Shunyi looked back and saw that it was the emperor, first asked for peace, and then said, "The imperial doctor said that wiping the princess's body with a wet handkerchief will help cool down, and the concubine wants to give it a try." ”
"Has the recipe been opened? Is the medicine decoction? The emperor stretched out two fingers and measured the temperature of Princess Yun's forehead.
"Back to the emperor, the concubine has already ordered someone to decoct the medicine, and the time should be soon."
The emperor nodded and looked at Gao Shunyi.
At this time, Gao Shunyi was wiping Princess Yunyi, and she looked very serious without squinting.
She was also a beauty before entering the palace, at least stronger than now, I don't know how much stronger. She was older than the other concubines, and when she looked closely, there were already a few wrinkles in the corners of her eyes that were not easy to see.
