Chapter VIII Stewardship

Qingyi smiled, still so gentle and humble, "The old man said that he was laughing, how dare I complain to His Highness?" Your Highness, it is my blessing. Since this medicine is a good medicine, then I will accept it, and ask the old man to thank His Highness for me. ”

Gui He naturally agreed, handed over the medicine to Qiu Niang and went back.

After Gui He left, Qiu Niang couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and said proudly: "It turns out that His Royal Highness still cares about the lady, and is worried about the lady's injury!" ”

Qingyi couldn't laugh, so she only took the medicine in the shade, and casually poured the medicine into a pot of Baozhu camellia on the table.

Qiu Niang was surprised and said, "What is this doing, lady?" This...... This is the medicine rewarded by His Highness! ”

Qingyi only replied coldly: "What about His Highness's reward?" I don't need to, it's better to water the flowers. ”

It's just that this kind of situation was clearly seen by Gui He, who was hiding outside the door.

When Gui He went back, he told Li Chun about the situation. Li Chun listened, and when his face was full of anger, he said hatefully: "This woman who doesn't know what to do, I kindly gave her medicine, but she actually watered the flowers?" I really don't know whether to live or die! After that, Li Chun complained to Gui He again: "Look at it, you are kind, people don't appreciate it at all!" In vain. ”

Gui He looked at Li Chun like this, and found it more and more funny, and only said, "Your Highness, this is a grievance?" obviously cares about Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang doesn't appreciate it. ”

Li Chun said stiffly: "Who said that?" How could I care about such a woman, but because of the emperor's great-grandmother! ”

Gui He knows Li Chun the best, cares about it or dislikes it, and never talks about it, but only hides it in his heart. And this time, Li Chun put his disgust for Qingyi on his lips, so what is actually it is really difficult to figure out.

While thinking about it, An Zhi outside the door came to report: "Your Highness, the side concubine Niangniang came to visit." ”

"Please come in."

I saw Concubine Qi moving lightly, she was still sick because of her mother's death, and she was also a person with dignified manners and no mistakes. Besides, she had just lost her position as the main concubine, and when such successive blows came, she was even a little indecent and did not reveal it. Even Li Chun looked at it himself, and he felt that Concubine Qi was really a difficult person.

Although Concubine Qi carefully sketched her makeup, the haggard color due to her illness could not be concealed. Li Chun looked at what she was wearing, a jacket with a white silver silk embroidered with small chrysanthemum patterns in Shu Jinyue on her upper body, and a horse-faced skirt embroidered with silk beads embroidered with cloud patterns. It's just that it is also the dress that she can best express her condolences because of her mother's death before complying with the etiquette. As a person in the palace, only when there is a great mourning, can he be completely clothed.

Li Chun couldn't help but begin to sympathize with Sheng Xuan in his heart. It's just that no matter how sympathetic she is, she can't resist a little, Concubine Qi is the daughter of the old fox of Zuo Xiang Qi Wei.

"What are you here to do? If you're not in good health, you need to have a good rest. Li Chun was concerned about Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi was already tired on her face, but she still supported herself, and said: "The concubine is fine, Yunzhi has made some refreshing pickles, and it is good to have porridge." I think that His Royal Highness must have no appetite because His Majesty is unwell, and if His Highness is willing to eat some of it, it will also be a blessing. With that, Concubine Qi took out a lot of fresh pickles and a bowl of boiled japonica rice porridge from the food box behind her, and set a table full of them. But they are all small, and they are not very heavy.

Li Chun tasted those pickles and ate them with porridge, but the entrance was light, which was different from the delicacies he usually ate, but it had a unique flavor. It has a refreshing appetizer in it.

"Your Highness, don't dislike these pickles for being crude and bland, if you can eat a few bites, it will also be a blessing for this pickle!" Concubine Qi smiled.

Li Chun only praised: "It's plain and good, it's refreshing." ”

Concubine Qi picked up a piece of sour cucumber for Li Chun, and said with a faint smile: "It's good that Your Highness likes it, in fact, I'm used to eating jade delicacies, and it's good to have occasional rest." It's like...... The same is true of this day. ”

Li Chun listened to these words, and knew in his heart that Concubine Qi had something to say, so he said: "Concubine Qi seems to have something to say, you might as well talk to me directly." ”

Concubine Qi had a gentle smile on her face, and said slowly to Li Chun: "Concubine is thinking, this East Palace is where the eyes of the world are watching. Sometimes we look at the flowers here, it is a good situation, but there are some big storms, as long as they are dealt with, they will also be praised by outsiders. It's just that if there are too many things, even if they are handled well, then if outsiders see it in the eyes, then I am afraid that we will not be calm here, and we will not say that we are able to deal with it. It's better to be calm and stable. ”

Li Chun listened to Concubine Qi's words, and became clear, and replied to Concubine Qi: "I know your words." It's just that you haven't been feeling good lately, so I can't tire you out. ”

Concubine Qi smiled gently, but in Li Chun's eyes, it always seemed like something was missing, as if people were perfect to the extreme, and there was always a sense of drifting distance, "The concubine is okay, private affairs are always not as important as His Highness's affairs." The concubine thought that Sister Li was a few years younger after all, and her heart was good in many things, but if it was seen by outsiders, she might not see Sister Li's kindness. Sister Li has a heart and wants to do something good, but the concubine feels that it is the best thing if there is nothing to do in the East Palace. ”

"Besides, Sister Zhang has just entered the East Palace, and everything is unfamiliar, although Sister Li has the intention to make a long face for His Royal Highness, she is inevitably a little too hasty."

"Zhang's is humble, don't worry about it." Li Chun said a little angrily.

The moment Li Chun said this, a smile unconsciously crossed Concubine Qi's face, and the Empty Valley Youlan was even more subtle. Immediately, this smile was hidden, "Although Sister Zhang is humble, she is also a woman of His Royal Highness, and it was also given by the Empress Dowager." The concubine is afraid that in this way, she will lose His Royal Highness. ”

After hearing this, Li Chun only stepped forward and shook Concubine Qi's hand, and said with a little apology in his gentleness: "I know that you have worked hard to manage the East Palace, and now you want to let Shiwei take care of things, which is not good for you." It's just that you're not in good health, so you can't work hard. ”

Concubine Qi shook her head: "Your Highness, the concubine's body is fine, but she hasn't rested well recently." But you can take care of things, and besides...... His Royal Highness's national marriage is a major matter related to decency, and the concubine must always take care of it. ”

As soon as Concubine Qi's words came out, Li Chun's eyebrows flickered slightly, and her long eyelashes like crow's wings quickly covered her eyes, and then a pair of eyes appeared, "If you are willing to work harder, it will naturally be good." Li Chun held Concubine Qi's hand more and more tightly, "I'm really sorry, this son should have been yours." Now...... You're going to have to work that. ”

Concubine Qi was moved, there was a slight sparkle in her eyes, she lowered her head, and sobbed gently: "With His Royal Highness's words, the concubine is not hard." Your Highness can rest assured that the concubine will definitely take care of the affairs of the East Palace and will not disappoint His Highness. ”
