Chapter 496: The Qianqing Palace's Illness
"Niangniang, the green concubine asks to see you."
In Kunning Palace, Su Youyi lit a light of incense on the offering table, and overheard Duofu coming in from outside.
She closed her eyes and muttered to herself at the scent, not knowing what to say, before she opened them for a while.
The incense line was faint, and the whitish smoke rose into the air.
The soft ash gathered at the top was carefully held in place, as if nothing had changed, and Su Youyi kept staring.
Duofu stood under the porch and held his breath, looking up at her curiously.
It wasn't until the burnt soft ash could no longer support it and fell completely that Su Youyi opened her eyes.
"Take down the incense case and let the green concubine in."
When the green concubine came in from outside the hall, she saw Su Youyi crooked on the soft collapse, and there was a big tripod filled with ice in the hall.
The icy air exudes coolness.
Her nose fluttered, and she noticed that in addition to the cold of the ice, there were traces of burning incense sticks in the temple.
The green concubine came up to say goodbye, and then looked around, "The concubine remembers that the queen mother has always believed in ghosts and gods and does not worship gods and Buddhas, how can there be the smell of incense?" ”
Her nose is incomprehensible.
Su Youyi ordered someone to serve chilled melons and fruits, and said casually: "Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I respect all things and spirits." Therefore, occasionally burning a lamp of incense to worship, just to comfort my heart. ”
"Is Niangniang worshipping the emperor's sick body?"
Su Youyi was stunned for a moment, and the green concubine really had the emperor in her heart at all times, so she suddenly thought of the emperor.
She just had to smile, "Sort of." ”
The green concubine clearly saw the hesitation in her eyes.
She didn't say much, but said: "The concubine came here today for this matter, and the emperor's body has not been good." Although it is not a major disease, it will inevitably wear out in the long run. Therefore, the concubine wants to implore the queen, can she let the concubine go to the Qianqing Palace to serve the sick? ”
Although the emperor is unwell, he is far from the point where he needs to be sick.
It's more of a chronic infiltration, and the body is getting weaker and weaker, but I'm afraid that people who don't know will think it's staying too much in the harem.
But everyone in the harem knows that the emperor can almost be called a woman.
Su Youyi pondered for a moment.
The green concubine also knew that the emperor's illness was far from the level of illness, and hurriedly explained: "The concubine never wants to take the opportunity to invite favor, but just wants to take care of the emperor more wholeheartedly." If the queen thinks it's inappropriate, the concubine can ......"
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Surprisingly, Su Youyi quickly agreed, "Although the emperor's body is not so bad, it is good to have someone who knows cold and hot by his side to take care of it." The palace will talk to the emperor, you go back and prepare. ”
Concubine Lu didn't expect her to agree so happily, she should have been happy, but somehow she was a little disappointed.
She always felt that Su Youyi was becoming less and less interested in the emperor now, although she said that she was thinking about the emperor's body, she would rather let other concubines accompany the emperor than go by her own......
I think when the emperor was infected with the epidemic, she was not like this.
Su Youyi didn't know whether to see her thoughts, or said in passing, "Originally, the palace should have taken care of the emperor in person, but there are many affairs in the harem, and there are princes in the palace to take care of, so I have to hand over the emperor's dragon body to the harem sisters to take care of." ”
It makes sense to say that.
The green concubine was no longer suspicious, got up and thanked her and then took her leave.
……
The emperor was also a little surprised when he learned that Su Youyi allowed the green concubine to come to serve the sick.
Su Youyi means that the emperor is far from needing someone to serve the sick, but the green concubine is careful, maybe the emperor's health will improve after she takes care of her carefully for a while.
This was said tactfully, and it was not good to save Su Youyi's face, so the emperor agreed.
The green concubine was very happy when she learned about it, and since then she has gone out early and returned to the Qianqing Palace to serve, and sometimes she stays in the Qianqing Palace at night, but she lives alone in the apse.
The concubines in the harem also moved their minds, especially the tortoiseshell concubine, shouting that they were also going to serve the sick.
Su Youyi only gave a sentence lightly, "Concubine Jue, you are too aggressive and sloppy, you are not as careful as Concubine Lu." I am afraid that if I don't take care of the emperor well, I will disturb the emperor's handling of the government. ”
Because he thought that it would not be appropriate to let Lu Concubine go alone, he allowed Xu Guiren to go occasionally, and she was one of the few concubines in the palace who was quiet.
Xu Guiren is grateful to Dade.
The Qianqing Palace has become much more lively since then.
Not only are the green concubines always there, Xu Guiren occasionally comes and goes, but also the tortoise concubines come to see them from time to time, hoping that the emperor will be kind to her to serve the sick.
This matter was originally decided by Su Youyi, and the two people she chose were careful and quiet, not to disturb the emperor, but also to take care of daily life.
What does the tortoiseshell come to do?
The emperor felt annoyed when he thought of her noisy and crying, so he naturally refused to let her go.
However, compared to the green concubine and Xu Guiren, the emperor is still more willing to see Su Youyi from time to time.
"Gao Qishou."
"The minions are here."
The emperor covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "You sent someone to Kunning Palace to see what the queen is doing, I haven't seen the queen for two days." ”
Gao Qishou pondered the emperor's thoughts, nodded and said: "I think the queen is busy raising a few little princes, so she can't be empty." Didn't this deliberately let the green concubine Niangniang and Xu Guiren come to the Qianqing Palace to take care of the emperor? ”
The emperor didn't know what to think, and shook his head, "No matter how carefully they serve the green concubines, they are not as comfortable as the queen by my side." You send someone to Kunning Palace to have a look, you don't have to say my original intention, go ahead. ”
Gao Qishou withdrew from the palace and called Xiao Yizi to give him such an instruction, and Xiao Yizi suddenly realized, "The emperor thinks that the queen is not attentive enough and does not accompany the emperor every day, right?" ”
Gao Qishou sighed, "Don't you think that the queen doesn't care about the emperor as much as she used to be?" ”
Xiao Yizi frowned, "Won't it?" Xu is a queen has too many things to worry about, unlike in the past, she was just a favorite concubine, so she could naturally focus on the emperor. ”
Gao Qishou also hoped that this was the case.
But what he was more worried about was that Ji Yushen's death was exposed, and Su Youyi knew that it was the emperor who sent someone to do it, so he would alienate himself from the emperor.
He couldn't figure it out in his heart, so he had to tell Xiao Yizi, "You go and take a closer look at what the queen mother is doing, if there is something, just watch, if there is nothing to do......"
If you have nothing to do and would rather be idle than come to see the emperor, then it will be a big problem......
Xiao Yizi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly went in the direction of Kunning Palace, and after entering the hall, he looked at the corner and hid in the corner, only to see the nurse and the palace maid who took care of the little princes standing under the corridor.
It seems that Su Youyi and the little princes must be in the palace.
He thought about it for a while, and hurriedly went in to report, "Queen Mother, the slave has something to say to the Queen Mother." ”
Seeing Xiao Yizi coming, Su Youyi was a little surprised, and handed over the sixth and seventh princes in her arms to the nurse, "What's so anxious?" ”
Xiao Yizi looked left and right and motioned for her to retreat.
