Chapter 49: House arrest
The mother queen is in good health, but she still intends to let the imperial sister continue to preside over the overall situation.
On the bright side, all the big and small things are handed over to the imperial sister to handle, but the real appointment of manpower is still controlled by the mother emperor. Everyone compromised and pretended to cater to the royal sister.
I don't know if the imperial sister has seen this, but I feel that she is surrounded by male pets, and she can't hear the truth at all.
The Yanju Palace was never as big as the Luan Dynasty Palace, after all, the Southern Dynasty never really ruled this area in its entirety. The walls of the palace are decorated with a special blue-green hue, resembling mountains and rivers. And because the climate is relatively warm, there are more green bamboos planted in the forest garden, which is very elegant and quiet.
Xiaocao disappeared and was not heard from. The female internal affairs officer photographed a new maidservant girl for me, named Meng Ze, who was a few years older than me, and she was steady, but a little slower.
I don't care about that, as long as she's of good character and won't betray me.
On the third day of coming to Yanju Palace, the servants even had the palace completely arranged, but they heard that Taifu was sick and contracted an epidemic.
Meng Ze said worriedly: "I see that for the sake of a circle of officers and soldiers outside the Mingxiang Pavilion, no one will be allowed to visit." The female officials who are good friends with the Taifu on weekdays are all stopped outside. ”
I sat up from Han's arms, frowned, and asked, "What about the medicine girl?" Will they be able to bring the news out? ”
Meng Ze said: "It is said that even the medical women who consult are locked inside, and if they want to deliver food and medicine, they will use a bamboo basket to hand it in. ”
I got up and was about to rush over: "I'm going to visit the master." ”
"There's something strange about this." Han grabbed the hem of my clothes, "It can be found to be an epidemic, there must be someone dead, but it's only been three days, how can it be an epidemic?" ”
"Maybe the Imperial Doctor found out in advance? Moreover, the master was injured for me before, maybe he didn't take care of it at that time, so he contracted it. I pulled out the hem of my shirt and pulled him up from the slump, "Quick, come with me to see the master!" ”
When we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, we saw a line of officers and soldiers gathered in a circle. In the courtyard, two medical women were busy cleaning with face towels covered.
The female officer Yuanhua and the soldier stood together, holding the phoenix order in her hand, as if standing guard.
With such strict guards, is it really sick?
I stepped forward and asked, "How is Taifu's condition?" ”
The old lady Yuanhua saw me, bowed dignifiedly, and said unhurriedly: "Taifu is infected with an epidemic. The Empress Dowager decreed that no one should enter or leave the country. ”
"What is the disease? At least let me see it, and I'm relieved! ”
The old lady said slowly: "For the sake of the princess's noble body, please do not enter!" Then there was a slight threat, "If the princess insists on breaking in, I am afraid that she will have to stay inside until she recovers." ”
"You ......" I was furious and wanted to force my way in.
"Princess." Han grabbed me.
"Let go of me!" I shook his hand away.
"Think long-term." He whispered.
I suppressed my anger and calmed down, but I used the same set that Aunt Zhixin had taught. I smiled and said, "Since the people inside can't get out, I'll send some books to my master and let her pass the time, it's all right?" ”
The female official Yuanhua said proudly: "Princess, please." ”
This old female official is used to following the imperial sister to be powerful, and even the palace people of the mother emperor have to give her a few points. Now it is even more unscrupulous because of the royal sister's recent prestige.
I pulled Han and turned to leave.
When he returned to his yard, he closed the door and angrily swept all the stacks of books on his desk to the ground.
Han bent down and picked it up: "Fortunately, the female official is not here, otherwise I would have smoked you again." ”
