It was really an autumn rain and a cold one, and since the autumn equinox, it has rained several times intermittently, and there is no trace of heat left, and the coolness is coming. After the cold dew, the rain gradually stopped, but the chill became more and more obvious. The leaves are falling one after another, the flowers in summer are gone, but the golden cinnamon, silver cinnamon, and osmanthus in the palace are competing to open, the leaves are dense and green, the flowers are ten thousand points yellow, and the colder the weather is, the more prosperous it is.

Liu Yuanzhi was standing under the porch, watching the attendants replace the summer flowers and trees in the courtyard with various chrysanthemums to suit the occasion. Han Yue walked to Liu Yuanzhi's side with a satin-embroidered begonia cloak in her hand and put it on for her, "Little master, you have to pay attention to your body when the weather is getting colder." The slave saw that you had a cough in the past two days, perhaps because the wind blew a cold when she accompanied the ten princes to fly a kite the day before yesterday. Why don't you ask Imperial Doctor Ye to take a look. ”

Liu Yuanzhi originally felt that coughing a few times would not be in the way, so she didn't want to bother Ye Ziling, but today it seemed to be more serious, and her head was a little dizzy, so she nodded in agreement. Zi Mo on the side took the initiative to take the job of going to the Tai Hospital to find Ye Ziling.

"Zi Mo, this girl's thoughts are all written on her face." Liu Yuanzhi smiled at Han Yue.

At this time, the internal attendant who was directing everyone to carry chrysanthemums in the open space in front of him came over and flattered Liu Yuanzhi, "Liu Cairen, the emperor treats you really well." You see, these flowers are specially ordered by the emperor to be collected for you by the palace bureau. There are a lot of precious varieties, such as Changzhou Yellow, Changtianbi, Orange Red Ball, Chunling Goose, Cuixin Purple, Jade Pot Spring, Jade Hibiscus, Rouge Thick, Pan Tao Palace, Baiping Red Knotweed, Jasper Silver Phoenix, Color Line Pearl, etc., which are so many that the slaves can't remember. No, the slave just got the order, and I'll send it to you as soon as possible. ”

The chamberlain said this, just to ask for some reward, and Han Yue understood, so he took ten taels of silver and handed it to the chamberlain. When the waiter saw it, he took it directly, and said with a smile, "Thank you, slave." The chamberlain thanked him and left happily.

After the cold moon, he helped Liu Yuanzhi into the house and lay down for a while, and not long after, Ye Ziling came to Linhua Hall with a medicine box.

Ye Ziling called for Liu Yuanzhi, looked at her complexion, and after listening to Zi Mo describe Liu Yuanzhi's recent symptoms, he said, "The little lord is infected with wind and cold. After flying the kite, the little master probably sweated a little, but he didn't pay attention to the cold wind, and his body couldn't stand it. Wechen will prescribe a few prescriptions for you, and you can be cured by taking them on time every day. ”

"Cough, cough ......" Han Yue stood on the side, but suddenly felt a little itchy in her throat, and coughed twice without holding back for a while.

Seeing this, Zi Mo immediately asked, "Miss, have you also arrived?" ”

Hanyue shook her head, signaling that she was fine. Ye Ziling said, "Don't be careless about the wind and cold." Han Yue saw that Zi Mo and Liu Yuanzhi both agreed with Ye Ziling's statement, so she let Ye Ziling call for her.

Ye Ziling finished his pulse and said to Han Yue, "Fortunately, it was just obtained, and it is not as serious as the little master." I'm prescribing a little slower medication, and it's about the same if I take two pairs. ”

After Ye Ziling finished speaking, he instructed Zi Mo again, "The little master's wind chill should be a little more serious, so you have to pay attention to rest." This autumn day should be harvested rather than dispersed, and you should pay more attention to the diet of the little master on weekdays. Try to eat less spicy products such as green onions and ginger, and eat more sour and sweet fruits and vegetables. It is advisable to choose more products that are sweet and cold and moisturizing, such as lily, white fungus, Huaishan, autumn pear, lotus root, sesame, duck meat, etc., to moisten the lungs, nourish yin and clear dryness. ”

Zimo should claim to be. Ye Ziling still felt that it was not enough, and added to the cold moon, "You like to eat soup and water, you can make some nourishing soup to drink in autumn, such as green radish and tangerine peel duck soup, Yuzhu lily pig lean meat soup, and papaya, corn, peanut and fish soup." By the way, the pomelo pork liver soup and the fig white crucian carp soup are also good. ”

Ye Ziling nagged like an old mother and gave a string of instructions, which made Zi Mo want to laugh when she heard it, but because she was still present, she had to hold back.

When Zi Mo stood beside Ye Ziling, her eyes would always glance at him, and every time she glanced at it, she felt that her heartstrings were slightly plucked, and the aftermath was lingering.

On the other side, in the Ninghui Hall of Changxin Palace, Sun Yuwei originally thought about it in the palace, but now that the day has come, the ban will be lifted, and Sun Yuwei is naturally in a good mood. She was now standing in front of the large carved mirror and looking at herself, looking at the clothes on her body. She took a photo from the left and right, and turned around twice before she said with satisfaction, "The new autumn clothes made by the Shangyi Bureau this time are good, and they are very flattering to me." ”

Yanfu on the side complimented, "Little master, you are a natural beauty, and now after this makeup brocade, it is even more beautiful and moving, and the slave looks at you as if you are a fairy of the Nine Heavens." ”

"You're good." Sun Yuwei said with a smile on her face that couldn't be hidden.

Sun Yuwei walked to the dresser and sat down and said, "Come here, comb my hair for me." Yan Fu should claim that it was, and after a while, the hair was combed, and then, Yan Fu picked some Zhu Hai Cui Tian for Sun Yuwei's hairpin.

After Sun Yuwei looked in the mirror, she seemed to be a little dissatisfied, she took off a pearl butterfly hairpin from her bun and put it on the table. Then, she went through the various brocade boxes on the dresser and asked suspiciously, "Huh? Where's my golden hairpin? ”

Yanfu also came up to take a look, and then said with some confusion, "It's really strange, I saw it when the slave maid was tidying up the dresser the day before yesterday, why is it missing today?" ”

Sun Yuwei frowned, "If you lose it, it's nothing, it's just a Zhu Hai left and right, don't be someone with unclean hands and feet in my Ning Hui Palace." ”

Yanfu's expression froze, "Please forgive the little master, it was the slave and maid who neglected to inspect, and the slave and maid will carefully investigate it later." ”

Sun Yuwei let out a "hmm", and then her eyes finally fell on a gold filament-inlaid ruby luan flying emerald step, she reached over and picked up the step, and put it on the bun. Sun Yuwei, who is dressed like this, is really a little more noble and gorgeous than usual. Sun Yuwei looked at herself in the mirror with a peach blossom face, and sighed with great satisfaction, "It's really people who rely on clothes, and Buddha who relies on gold." When I dress up this time, I look like that concubine. ”

Yanfu raised her eyes and looked around, and saw that no one else was present, so she said with confidence, "Little master, your appearance should be no worse than anyone else, but this step can only be worn by concubines of the second grade or above, and it is not good for you to be seen like this now." ”

Sun Yuwei was a little unhappy, "Now no one sees it, what's the matter." Isn't it just a second grade, with my appearance and background, will I not get it in the future? Even a concubine deserves it! When the time comes, even Concubine Yan Shufei will be inferior to me! ”

In the Yuling Hall of Yilan Palace, Li Chongrong was leaning lazily on the side of the sandalwood table, stretching out her hand to let the maid dye her nails for her.

"Oh? Did she really say that? Li Chongrong asked as she listened to the words of the little palace maid Fang'er. The little palace maid turned everything Sun Yuwei said to Li Chongrong. What kind of person Sun Yuwei is, Concubine Yan Shu naturally knows in her heart, since the day she said that she wanted to use it for her, Concubine Yan Shuwei ordered Li to fill the face and install eyeliner next to Sun Yuwei.

"Yes, the slave can hear it clearly outside the door." The palace maid replied.

Li Chongrong smiled coldly when she heard this, "She is really ambitious, if it weren't for the support of Concubine Yan, how far did she think she could go?" In the eyes of Concubine Yan Shu, she is just a clown with a little use value, and she still wants to be a concubine, which is really beyond her strength. ”

Li Chongrong has always been unaccustomed to Sun Yuwei, but because of Concubine Yanshu's face, she tolerated it everywhere, but Li Chongrong's actions made Sun Yuwei even more arrogant and had no one in her eyes. Every time she saw Li Chongrong, she just made a casual salute, and Sun Yuwei's attitude made Li Chongrong more and more dissatisfied with her.

After Li Chongrong asked the little palace maid to retreat, she got up and went to the Yusheng Hall of Chonghua Palace, and repeated all the words that the little palace maid heard at Sun Yuwei to Concubine Yan Shu. Concubine Yan Shurong listened quietly to Li Chongrong's words, and there was already a faint anger on her face.

Li Chongrong sat on the side and watched the words, she knew that her words had achieved the desired effect, so she continued, "Niangniang, listen to these words, Sun Yuwei dares to be so disrespectful to you behind her back. The concubine has long said that she is a white-eyed wolf who is only unfamiliar. According to the concubine, a stupid person like her is of little use to us, and keeping her will be a hidden danger sooner or later. ”

Concubine Yan Shu glanced at Li Chongrong, and then said, "Don't think that this palace doesn't know what you are planning in your heart. ”

Li Chongrong was frightened by Concubine Yanshu's glance, she hurriedly got up and knelt down and said, "Niangniang Mingjian, the concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is just fighting for you." Seeing that Li Chongrong was so frightened, Concubine Yan Shushu was satisfied, so she said, "Okay, you have always been loyal to this palace, and this palace understands it in her heart." As she spoke, she raised her hand and motioned for Li-Chongrong to get up and sit down.

Concubine Yan Shu took a sip of tea from the teacup and asked, "This palace heard that Liu Yuanzhi is sick?" Li Chongrong saw that Concubine Yan Shufei suddenly asked, and she didn't know what she meant, so she replied, "Yes." ”

Concubine Yan Shufei smiled charmingly, looking at Li Chongrong's eyes with a deep meaning, "Compared to Sun Yuwei, some things are more important, aren't they?" It's time to use the chess pieces, you know what Hongu means. "Concubine Yan Shufei is really typical, the scar forgets the pain, and the scratch on her hand is not completely healed, so this mind is alive again.

Li Chongrong's eyes lit up when she heard this, "The concubine understands, please rest assured, the concubine will take care of everything." ”

Some time ago, the queen's health was not good, so she was bedridden for a few days to recuperate.

"Little master, your own body is not well, why don't you go, let the slave go and ask the queen to take a leave." Zi Mo frowned and said to Liu Yuanzhi quite worriedly.

Liu Yuanzhi shook her head and said, "My body is fine, but I still have a little cough." If I don't go to the queen to say hello because I am infected with a little wind and cold, I am afraid that I will be said that I am pampered and arrogant, and I don't respect the queen. ”

Han Yue agreed very much when she heard this, "What the little lord said is right, now that our Linhua Palace is the target of everyone, we must not let the queen stand on the opposite side of us now." By the way, Zi Mo, remember to bring the Buddhist scriptures that the little master copied yesterday. Han Yue commanded, and put on a cloak for Liu Yuanzhi.

After everything was ready, Han Yue passed the sedan chair for Liu Yuanzhi, and the group headed towards Fengluan Palace.

The queen sat on the phoenix seat, wearing a red flying phoenix tuanfu palace outfit to make her whole complexion much better, she looked at the concubines who bowed and said, "You sisters don't have to be polite, get up." ”

Concubine Yan Shufei shook the handkerchief in her hand, and sat down with the help of the maidservant, she said, "Queen Mother, since your body is not completely well, you should rest more, and the affairs of the harem are supported by the concubines." ”

The queen looked at Concubine Yan Shu and smiled slightly, "Concubine Yan Shu has a heart, but this palace is the master of the six palaces, how can she be lazy all the time." A sentence of the lord of the six palaces choked Concubine Yan Shu so much that she had nothing to say. The queen stopped looking at her and turned her head to look at the other side, "These days have been hard for the two younger sisters of Concubine Mu De and Concubine Ning Xian. ”

Concubine Mu De and Concubine Ning Xian got up and said, "It is the duty of the concubines to share their worries for their mothers. The queen nodded, pleased with their humility and courtesy.

"Queen Mother, your complexion looks much better today, the Imperial Doctor Ling is really a brilliant doctor." Yan Jieyu said.

The queen smiled slightly, "The illness of this palace can be cured, and this imperial doctor order is indispensable, but there is another person who has a lot of credit." ”

"Oh? I don't know who the mother is talking about? Yan Jieyu asked, she was really curious.

The queen's eyes turned to Liu Yuanzhi, and she said to everyone very kindly, "It's Liu Cairen." She herself is also infected with the wind and cold, but she still insists on copying scriptures and praying for the palace every day, and she always does not listen to persuasion. A few days ago, I just finished copying the Jizo Sutra and sent it, you see, today I sent the Medicine Master Sutra again. ”

Yan Jieyu praised when she heard this, "Liu Cairen really has a heart, and it is not easy to copy scriptures every day. ”

"Humph! Sycophants! Cao Meiren said softly with disdain on her face. When the queen heard this, her beautiful eyes glanced at Cao Meiren, and Cao Meiren was reluctantly silenced. Concubine Yan Shufei was unusual, she didn't target Liu Yuanzhi, but just glanced at Liu Yuanzhi's slightly pale face, and then quietly drank tea on the side.

Liu Yuanzhi got up and saluted the queen, "The mother is overrated, this is the duty of the concubine, and the concubine does not dare to take credit." ”

The queen said, "Your heart will be remembered by this palace." ”

Zi Mo silently stood behind Liu Yuanzhi and watched everyone's expressions and listened to everyone's conversation. It wasn't until this moment that she finally understood Han Yue's intentions, she looked at Han Yue beside her, her eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

These days, Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi have not been in good health, but Han Yue ignored Zi Mo's dissuasion and insisted on copying Buddhist scriptures for the queen with Liu Yuanzhi by hand, and Zi Mo was really puzzled at that time. Now, she understood. It turned out that Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi did all this for the queen's "remember".

Cold Moon They have just entered the court, and they have no power and power, and they can't achieve their ultimate goal at all. If you take action to deal with the queen now, you will undoubtedly be immeasurable, hitting the stone with an egg and shaking the tree with a mayfly. What's more, now they have Concubine Yan Shu, Li Chongrong, Cao Meiren and others by their side, and if they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss, and it will be difficult to fight alone. Therefore, only by showing goodwill to the queen first, so that the queen is willing to help, can he remove the obstacles, rise to the top, and wait until Liu Yuanzhi is in a high position and then bring him down in one fell swoop.
