218: Manpower
When Shuyuan returned to Ningshou Palace, Concubine De had not yet slept. Shuhuai pulled Shuyuan into the room and asked in a low voice, "Why have you been there for so long?" The mother didn't seem too happy. ”
"Those newcomers don't seem to have very bright brains, and they have to repeat the same sentence several times before they can understand it." The book avoided the important and said, "Niangniang didn't mention me today, right?" ”
"Not really, but when I look at the door from time to time, it's not hard to see that I care about it." Shuhuai's voice was a little lowered: "You didn't reveal anything about the mother's house, did you?" ”
"How can it? Can I be so careless? The emperor and Gonggong Pan both suspected that the Lu family was avenging Concubine Qing at this time, and what I overheard in front of the gate of the Taihe Palace would not be fake. ”
"I thought they all suspected it was our mother." Shuhuai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Okay, you go in, Niangniang probably has something to tell you." ”
The smile on Shuyuan's cheeks stiffened a little, but he didn't say anything else, and came to the side hall tremblingly, where his mother lived.
The hall was very dim, there were only a few candles, and the face could not be seen clearly if she didn't pay attention.
"Say hello to the mother."
"Coming back?" Concubine De raised her head to look at her, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
The current mother is different from usual. Shuyuan has an obvious feeling, at least before Yao Shunrong gave birth, she was still normal, but I don't know if it was stimulated, she was always yin and yang, and she was not as good as before for the two of them.
This sentence is back, but it can surprise the book.
"The slave is back."
"How is it in the palace? Is the third prince still healthy? How is Yao Shunrong's complexion? Concubine De asked several questions in a row, and then the tone of the conversation turned straight: "The emperor didn't ask anything about the mother's family in this palace, right?" ”
The door was closed very tightly, and Ben couldn't get a trace of wind through, but Shuyuan always felt cold behind him, and he was uncomfortable.
This feeling is not to be suspected, but the person in front of her, who should have trusted her the most, seems to be a little guarded against her now, which makes her feel a little panicked.
There is still some weakness.
Today, the emperor talked to her, and it's nothing in normal times, but now her own mother is easily stimulated and her emotions are not properly controlled, how do you know about this, I'm afraid I don't trust her even more, right?
After swallowing his saliva, Shuyuan replied, "Niangniang expected to be very accurate, the self-righteous person in Zhaoxi Palace was used to it, and the slave maid didn't even show her face this time, until the slave maid left, she didn't say that she had worked hard or gave a cup of tea to drink, thinking that she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses and raised her toes proudly, and she really couldn't see her own weight." ”
The corners of Concubine De's mouth hooked, she smiled silently, and her eyes drifted to the candle closest to her, "What is her character, this palace knows at a glance, and the emperor is not allowed to see people, and she was deceived by her, and I thought she was such a good woman." ”
Then, there was Concubine De's sneer.
Seeing that Concubine De's attention was attracted elsewhere, Shu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said, "Niangniang, you don't have to worry, the slave and maid overheard a few words when waiting for Grandpa Pan in front of the gate of the Taihe Palace, which means that they are roughly suspicious that the Lu family is avenging their daughter before sending Lianyu to assassinate the third prince, and they do not suspect that it will be on our Ningshou Palace, you can rest assured for the time being." ”
The matter did not succeed, although it was not revealed, but Princess Shuying did not die, the third prince did not die, and Yao Chuxi was also safe, how could Concubine De be relieved? Imperial Physician Qi disappeared suddenly, and without warning, he couldn't find anyone, Princess Shu Ying is such a living witness, if you really want to testify to Concubine De, then the emperor is definitely one hundred and one thousand believers.
It's just a matter of time before something is revealed.
Concubine De clenched her fists lightly, looked at the book and said, "This matter can't just look at the surface, happiness and sadness, maybe the emperor just wants to see our reaction, and revealing flaws will cause trouble." ”
Shuyuan agreed, feeling that the atmosphere was very tense, and the master did not feel as relaxed after learning about it as she did.
Doctor Nian reported to the emperor that Princess Shuying's illness has not lasted for a year or two, and she is afraid that she will not be able to recuperate.
The emperor also knew the situation of his sister, and he didn't force her to say anything, nor was he in a hurry to punish, but only bent on letting her recover from her illness.
Yao Chuxi also said the same.
But it is undeniable that she has some hatred for Princess Shuying in her heart.
In any case, she should not be targeted at her children, this is not just for her.
The snow recovery is not bad, because the foundation is good, usually not a few times a year to get sick, plus the young age, so after lying down for a few days, you can walk on the ground.
This is also a natural hard life, how can you say that it is uncomfortable to let people serve her to eat and drink, and she has to come by herself?
Luoyu was not used to her, and directly put the rice bowl in front of her, "If you feel uncomfortable, I don't force it, then you can fight for anger, don't be bitter when you drink medicine, take care of your body early so that you can serve the master together." ”
Originally, Yao Chuxi was okay alone, plus the third prince and Princess Yunshu, usually crying and making trouble, a large circle of people revolved around them, and from time to time the emperor also came to Zhaoxi Palace, and the total meal was still successful, and if he stayed overnight, there would be not enough manpower.
This Han Shanggong and Luoxue are both lying down, and they must have their hands free to take care of them, although they mean that they are almost recovered, and they can have one arm for small things, but Yao Chuxi, who is the master, is not at ease, and he must notice everything, and he is not at ease when it rains.
There are palace people who can be used to go up, but this is not a matter of going up, if anyone dares to use it, then the palace is already overcrowded, and every day there are ten or eight palace maids waiting for the three princes and Princess Yunshu, what are you worried about?
The question is, who would dare?
Before the lotus fish, everyone was worried, not to mention that there may be people with different intentions hidden in the palace, it can't be said that raising tigers is a problem, but it is also a 'trouble'.
If you're not careful, someone will take advantage of it.
What Luo Yu said is true, if you feel uncomfortable, lie down, think about it, try to recover from your illness, and serve the master a few when you are good, and save the lack of manpower.
The newcomers dare not use it, and the old people are not enough, which is difficult.
Compared with the falling snow, Han Shanggong recovered more slowly, and after lying down for a few days, he felt that his eyes seemed to have taken a lot.
Although she usually doesn't have any trouble to deal with, she feels that something is better than nothing at all, and she can't stay in a room with nothing to do all day.
Yao Chuxi gave her a pattern to relieve her boredom, which made her uncomfortable again, she felt that her fingertip skills were itching, looking at the cumbersome embroidery in some places on it, and she couldn't wait to change it with her own good hand.
This idea was directly stifled in the cradle by the falling rain and frost.
"Your arm has just been able to move a little, but you can't touch it anymore, the doctor said that it will be nothing big if you raise it for a while, you can bear with it."
Han Shanggong said with a smile, "I've been bored for a long time, but I don't have much to do, I just feel that my shoulders and waist are weak, and my eyesight is not as good as before." ”
"If you really want to be busy with something, just wait for your body to recover, worry a lot about the security in the palace, and share the burden with Gonggong Ding to come up with ideas." Luoshuang persuaded him bitterly, "If you feel that you are lacking or uncomfortable, just tell me, I will help you knead and knead it, and you will be able to give birth to your body." ”
Luoyu also sent the books given by Father-in-law Gao, which were obviously turned to the corners, but they were still cherished by Han Shanggong like a baby.
When the snow was barely able to stand up and walk carefully, there was a so-so person in the back garden who fell on his head.
"I just heard that Liang Cainu fell, why did she fall again?" Yao Chuxi was holding a cloth in his hand, holding a piece of white cloth on it, and a few peony flowers were embroidered by Yao Chuxi, listening to Ding Zhou's reply, his brows were wrinkled, "Is the road in the back garden slippery or what's wrong?" ”
In the past three days, someone has fallen on both ends, but I can't tell if I was careless or what.
"Who's going to know for sure?" Ding Zhou rubbed his hands together and crossed his hands in front of him, "The slave thinks that it may be that the back garden has not moved for a while, and the palace people have been slacking off on errands, so it is estimated that they have not swept the palace road well." ”
This time it was Zhou Cainu of Huanqing Pavilion who fell, she has been unknown, and when she entered the palace, she was a few years earlier than Yao Chuxi, but she didn't make a splash at all, and she hasn't seen the emperor a few times until now.
I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Yang Cairen, who lived with me, to win over and favor myself, but I didn't want the emperor to take Yang Cairen in his eyes at all, and he never said that he would summon her.
fell on the road this time, Ji Linghai lacked the palace people around her, as well as the eunuchs who swept the palace road, and couldn't do anything else.
But if this fall is a favored concubine, it will be different, then Ji Linghai has to put her head on the palace road, let the concubine trample on it, she will never get up without losing her breath.
That is to say, Zhou Cainu is not favored, the world is hot and cold, and everyone understands.
I heard that I got sick when I went back this time, and the wind and cold were quite serious, and it was not a good day, and the doctor said that it might have been broken, but the diagnosis came and went and did not diagnose the reason.
Since Yao Chuxi moved out of the back garden, the young eunuch has not been to the back garden again, that is, the little-known little eunuch occasionally goes there.
As the only person in charge of palace affairs, Concubine De naturally couldn't escape this matter on the grounds of illness, so she sent a lot of things to Huanqing Pavilion, saying that she wanted Zhou Cainu to have a good life, but in fact, it was for others to see.
Yao Chuxi also gave one, which was not as valuable as Concubine De, but it was a good thing to nourish and nourish.
And Zhou Cainu is very sick, and she doesn't care who is acting and who is sincere, all the good and bad are stuffed into her mouth, and she says good things about Concubine De while eating, and she doesn't forget to bury Yao Chuxi.
"Concubine De Niangniang has given away all the food she needs, but she is not as stingy as Yao Shunrong."
