Chapter 14: Mingguang Palace

Mingguang Palace is on the west side of the imperial city, and the whole palace is hidden in a thick green and light greenery, but there are not many flowers to see. Although it is late autumn at the moment, there is not a single chrysanthemum common in the palace, only a piece of grass and trees surrounded by fragrance.

Su Ruhui got off the sedan chair in front of the palace gate and looked around curiously.

Empress Zhou was also helped down by Mama Liu from the back chariot, and when she saw this, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Ruhua, let's go in with the palace." ”

Concubine Gu Xian's identity is not as good as the queen, and she is sick, so there is no need to wait, Su Ruhui followed Queen Zhou and walked in slowly, there are many plants and trees in this Mingguang Palace, and it can be seen that Concubine Gu Xian likes this kind of vine and lotus scene very much.

However, no matter how fragrant the vines are, no matter how much the grass and trees are clear, they can't hide the rich medicinal smell wafting in the palace.

Stepping into the inner room, there was already a waiter walking in front to inform Concubine Gu Xian, so what they saw was Concubine Gu Xian's delicate appearance half-lying on the bed.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Seeing this, Queen Zhou hurriedly took a few steps forward and reproached, "This palace came to persuade Concubine Xian's sister on the order of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is also hoping that Concubine Xian will get better soon, why do you slaves still let Concubine Xian get up?" If you are tired of the virtuous concubine, you can afford it! The attendant in the inner chamber hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Concubine Gu Xian showed a pale smile and said softly: "The Queen Mother and Sister know their grace, but they are actually depressed when they lie down all day, so don't blame them, sister." ”

Empress Zhou glared at everyone, got up, walked to Concubine Gu Xian's bed and held her arm, and said lovingly: "Depressed is depressed, but the imperial doctor said that you should not act now, so you should be patient for the time being, and wait until your body is better." ”

"Sister......" Concubine Gu Xian was about to say something, when her eyes suddenly widened, she looked at the door of the inner room in surprise, and said in a lost voice, "Le'an!" ”

Su Ruhui, who was saluting, was taken aback, and forcibly surprised and said: "Courtier Su Ruhui, please say hello to the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine is blessed!" ”

"Su Ruhua? Come over here and let me see! Fast! Concubine Gu Xian didn't know where the strength came from, so she suddenly struggled.

was so panicked that Queen Zhou pressed her down, and said quickly: "Sister, don't worry, Su Ruhui is here to accompany you on the order of the Queen Mother-Ruhui, don't you come forward?" ”

Su Ruhui walked up to Concubine Gu Xian suspiciously, and found that the pale and sick concubine in front of her was staring straight at her, her eyes did not seem to be fake, not to mention why did Concubine Gu Xian do this scene in front of her? Does she really look like Princess Le'an? But no one has said that since she entered the palace.

And although Princess Le'an was born to Concubine Xian, she was raised by the Queen Mother, and she never mentioned this matter to the Queen Mother?

She was thinking wildly, but she saw Concubine Gu Xian stretch out a cold hand, gently stroked Su Ruhui's face, and sighed: "Look closer, it's not like it, but standing at the door just now, blocked by a coral tree next to it, half light and half dark, it's my Le'an back!" ”

Everyone in the inner room, including Queen Zhou, sighed gloomily, but Su Ruhui was patient so that she didn't make a stir, and Le An came back? Isn't it something that's not clean? Concubine Gu Xian said that she was not like Le An.

Concubine Gu Xian pulled Su Ruhui and looked at it reluctantly for a long time, before she was grateful to the queen: "Thank you, sister." ”

"It's good that you like this child, but the Queen Mother sees that you are overly worried all day long, so she chose this from the children who entered the palace this time to talk to you, and the palace doesn't dare to take credit." Empress Zhou smiled, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Su Ruhua.

Su Ruhui was secretly grateful to the queen, looking at Concubine Xian's appearance, in case she wanted to leave her in Mingguang Palace next, although it was not in line with Yu Li, but knocking her sick appearance, and the queen mother was very sympathetic to her, the queen was not easy to refuse. And Su Ruhua herself has no position to say no.

Empress Zhou pointed out that Su Ruhui was one of the people who accompanied the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in the palace this time, and she was also by the Queen Mother's side, and she just came to talk to her, Concubine Gu Xian should not make excessive requests.

Sure enough, Concubine Gu Xian's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon as usual, she smiled and said, "Please also ask my sister to thank the Queen Mother for my sister!" ”

"The Queen Mother has always loved her sister, my sister should cheer up, don't let the Queen Mother be sad for you." Queen Zhou advised diligently, and looked at Su Ruhui again, "This palace sees that you are quite in love with this child, so it is better to let you stay with her for a while." If you paint, the palace will leave a small sedan chair waiting for you outside the palace, the virtuous concubine is weak, don't delay too much! ”

"The queen can rest assured, such as the painting province." Su Ruhui owed her body, and Queen Zhou said a few more words of greetings to Concubine Xian's body and medicine, and then left.

After Queen Zhou left, Concubine Gu Xian held Su Ruhua's hand and asked her about her age preferences, her eyes change. Su Ruhui knew that this virtuous concubine was originally in good health, and it was for the sake of giving birth to Princess Le'an that she fell ill, and she had always been cowardly, and then Princess Le'an died, so she simply couldn't afford to get sick, and she couldn't bear to brush her meaning, but she also knew her own nature, so she said according to the answer prepared in front of the queen mother and queen.

After hearing this, Concubine Gu Xian was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "You are not too similar to Le'an in this palace. Although Le'an is a princess, she has always liked knives and guns, and she has a headache when she hears Xi Zi and write poems, and she is the most naughty, but she is also a princess in the palace, and she is raised by the Queen Mother herself, everyone spoils her, otherwise, I am afraid that she would have been beaten down by several big boards! ”

She whispered about her daughter, but she didn't know that Su Ruhui on the side had a big bosom friend for Princess Le'an. In fact, where does Su Ruhua have any interest in poetry, she was born in Jiangmen, even if her father and three brothers read books, they all read the art of war and strategy, even their mother, Mrs. An, is not a sad character.

Growing up in this environment, Su Ruhui and Le An are no different, and they want to pretend to faint when they hear the poetry being right. But what can be done, from the moment she received the will from the palace, Su Ruhui knew that it was impossible for her to live according to her own wishes in this life.

The two most noble women in the palace, the Queen Mother and the Queen, are both the masters of Xiwen, and the Queen was still a prestigious talented woman before she entered the palace. If you want to live well in the palace, and if you don't like poetry, don't you have to urgently ask Xue Zidian to teach?

Thinking of this, Su Ruhui felt a little sorry for the untimely death of Princess Le'an.

It was the first time since Concubine Gu Xian had said so many words since her daughter went, and there was a hint of brilliance in her eyes, and the people of Mingguang Palace were very grateful to the Queen Mother and Su Ruhui.

Su Ruhui remembered the queen's advice, for fear that Concubine Gu Xian would talk too much and become more tired and sick, so she had to leave if she found a vacancy. Unexpectedly, Concubine Gu Xian was bored for many days, but her spirit was much better when she spoke, so she kept her for dinner before letting her go, and when she left, she even let the personal palace maid Luyi personally send it to the palace gate.

The green-clothed servant sat in the sedan chair with Su Ruhui, and said earnestly: "Miss Su, if the Empress Dowager Ming'er is free, please come again!" ”

Su Ruhui pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay!" ”

Of course, the Queen Mother will be free there.

Moreover, Su Ruhui felt that it was obviously more comfortable to accompany patients than to be a background.

has been neglected in Renshou Palace for so long, it is rare for a Concubine Gu Xian to like herself so much...... People, you have to compare. If it had been when she hadn't entered the palace, I am afraid that she would have stayed away from Concubine Gu Xian's nagging in her heart, and from now on she would have found an excuse not to step into the Mingguang Palace again.

Su Ruhui sat in the sedan chair and was full of emotion.
