Chapter 418, a generous little rice cake

Hui Xuan's death did not make too many waves in the palace. Even if it is the Kaiyun Palace, as usual, the queen thought about it for a few days, and at the suggestion of Hu Zhongliang, promoted Lan Ze and Lan Pei from the second-class palace maids to be the first-class palace maids.

Hu Zhongliang sternly told the palace maids and eunuchs not to cause trouble, just concentrate on serving the master, and the rest should not talk about it much, especially the one in Bitong Academy, not to mention it in front of the master, so as not to make the mother angry.

In this way, the Kaiyun Hall of the Carved Moon has also been born a lot.

In the blink of an eye, it was already November, Yao Jiaxin was wearing a fox fur, holding a stove in her hand, and lazily crooked on the beauty couch.

On the two chairs below, Concubine Yu and Concubine Ning of the Associate Sixth Palace sat respectively, Concubine Ning took a big sip of hot milk tea, and her face was a little better, "Sister Guifei doesn't know, this morning the concubine and others went to the Kaiyun Palace to ask for peace, but they were hung outside the palace for half an hour, and Hu Zhongliang came out and said that the queen was unwell and couldn't meet the concubine today!" ”

As she spoke, Concubine Ning slammed the teacup on the table, angry.

Concubine Yu has a good temperament, and said with a smile: "Sister Ning dissipated her anger, and she could clearly hear the queen's cough outside the palace, so her condition must have worsened again." ”

Concubine Ning rubbed her hands that were still a little stiff, and pouted: "Our queen mother, obviously has such a body, why don't you still want to stop?!" ”

Don't look at Concubine Ning's vicious words and complaints, but she was not rude when she was in the Moon Kaiyun Palace. On the contrary, it was Concubine Qi......

The corners of Concubine Ning's mouth raised, "Just outside the queen's palace, Concubine Qi didn't have a good face at Hu Zhongliang, and left a sentence 'The queen's mother and phoenix body are not in harmony, and the concubines will not dare to disturb in the future', and walked away!" Look at that, I'm not going to say hello in the future! ”

Yao Jiaxin smiled, Concubine Qi did have this temperament, she hurriedly asked, "What?" Hasn't the queen exempted the concubines from saying goodbye? ”

Concubine Yu smiled gently, not angry at all, "Concubine and Concubine Ning's sister also asked Eunuch Hu just now, but they didn't give a straight word." ”

Concubine Ning snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that the queen mother thinks that she will get better in two days!" ”

Yao Jiaxin pursed the corners of her mouth, the queen's body has completely injured the root cause, and she can't work hard, but the queen not only works hard, but also secretly uses forbidden drugs to support herself, so that her body is even more weak. Coupled with the dampness and cold in the garden, the environment of the Old Summer Palace is indeed not suitable for the queen to recuperate.

"By the way, this palace heard that Concubine Dun has recovered from her illness, can she stay in the Kaiyun Hall of the Broken Moon to serve her illness today?" Yao Jiaxin asked casually.

Concubine Ning pouted, "Concubine Dun is such a delicate body, where will she ask for hardship?" She was sick because she was sick for the queen before, and she was sick for more than half a month! ”

Yes, if you are sick, you can't sleep.

Concubine Ning snorted again: "But she left an eight-tael Korean ginseng!" ”

Seven taels are ginseng, and eight taels are treasures. Although the Northeast will also pay tribute to the high-grade Changbai Mountain wild ginseng, the ginseng of the foot eight taels is also very rare in the palace. This Changbai Mountain belongs to the Gonglin Forest, and outsiders are forbidden to enter the mountain to collect ginseng, so the best ginseng outside is this Korean ginseng.

Eight-tael Korean ginseng - small rice cake is really generous.

Concubine Ning added: "It is said that her mother's family sent her to the palace to make up for her body!" ”

Yao Jiaxin, "The family has been scholarly for generations, and the furniture is expensive, what is a pair of eight taels of old ginseng?" ”

Although Concubine Ning was already warm, her face was already as cold as frost, "Concubine Dun's wings are hard, she should be taught a lesson!" ”

Concubine Yu smiled and said: "Sister, let's dissipate my anger, the queen mother has asked for a concubine for the Nian family, and the Nian family is rewarded with Korean ginseng, which is nothing." ”

Yao Jiaxin read a lotus seed cake on the plate and ate it, this lotus seed cake is made of this autumn's Xianglian lotus seeds to be cored and peeled, boiled and mashed into a puree, and made with agar and sugar osmanthus. It was deliberately cut into small pieces and placed in a lotus shape, which was really beautiful and delicious.

Yao Jiaxin glanced at the scorching red charcoal in the charcoal basin, and said quietly: "This palace is pregnant, so I can't work hard. This palace affairs have to be more attentive to the two of you, since the queen is sick, don't treat half a point, whatever good things are picked up, and sent to Kaiyun in Kaiyun with great fanfare. ”

Concubine Ning and Concubine Yu naturally understood these truths, and hurriedly answered "yes" in unison.

Concubine Yu said with a smile: "After the Gold Festival and the Longevity Festival, this month can be more leisurely." It's just that the queen is seriously ill, and I don't know if I want to arrange someone to serve the sick? ”

Yao Jiaxin pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Since the queen pointed out the Nian's illness before, let's leave it alone." ”

As he was talking, Wang Yicheng hurriedly came in to report: "Niangniang, Concubine Qi asks to see!" ”

Yao Jiaxin was stunned, if Concubine Qi had the heart to come to ask for peace, she should come with Concubine Ning and Concubine Yu. Why did this hour come all of a sudden?

Wang Yicheng said in a low voice: "Concubine Qi's face is very bad. ”

"Let her in." Recently, Concubine Qi has been very respectful to her, and Yao Jiaxin naturally won't hang her.

I saw Concubine Qi's angry face couldn't be hidden, and she strode into the hall in a hurry, covered in the cold outside, her old face was almost frozen, she bent her knees with anger, "I've seen the concubine!" ”

Yao Jiaxin's angry face that almost wanted to explode in Concubine Qi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Concubine Qi, what's wrong?" ”

Concubine Qi said hatefully: "Empress Fangcai sent Hu Zhongliang to the concubine's Quyuan Fenghe, and issued a decree to let Huai Ke enter the palace to serve the sick!" ”

"Huh?" Yao Jiaxin was stunned, she didn't expect the queen to be seriously ill, and she could still make such a fuss!

However, the queen's request, from the perspective of etiquette, also accounts for some reason. The queen is the mother-in-law of all princes and princesses, and as a daughter, it is the duty of the younger generations to serve her mother. The only thing that is inappropriate is that Princess Huaike has been married, according to the ancient etiquette: marry the water that her daughter splashes.

Concubine Yu frowned slightly, and her white and fat face showed displeasure: "The eldest princess is already the daughter-in-law of the Fucha family, and she wants to teach her husband and children and take care of her in-laws!" For the queen's illness, the princess should not be chosen to marry. ”

"Isn't it!" Concubine Qi stomped her feet, and suddenly had a good impression of Concubine Yu, "Qing'er is still young, and she can't do without her biological mother!" What's more, it's such a cold day, if you enter the palace every day to serve the sick, this is simply a toss! ”

Yao Jiaxin smiled, didn't the queen just want to deliberately toss Princess Gulun Huaike?

Concubine Ning pondered for a moment, "Sister Guifei, why don't you tell Concubine Dun to serve the sick." ”

Yao Jiaxin shook her head: "Concubine Dun has just recovered from her illness, and the queen just needs to say that Concubine Dun is weak and sick, and she can't bear to be sick, so we can't force it." ”

Concubine Qi was even more angry: "Concubine Dun is delicate, should my Huai Ke be tired and sick?!" ”

Concubine Ning laughed and said, "Otherwise, Sister Concubine Qi will invite herself to serve the sick!" In this way, the eldest princess does not have to work hard. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Qi glared at Concubine Ning fiercely, and it was obvious that Concubine Qi was not willing to face the queen's old face.

Yao Jiaxin didn't have a good idea for this, "Although Concubine Ning's idea is not the best, it is ...... right now It seems to be the only way to go. ”
