Kwai water arrived as scheduled, Su Lian could only drink sour plum soup to relieve the heat in the sultry afternoon, the ice bowl was cut off, and even the ice basin in the inner room was half removed.

The death of two palace maids in the palace was like a small pebble thrown into the lake, only a small ripple, but then it fainted and dissipated. The life of the palace maid is despicable, not enough to make those high-ranking masters talk for a long time after tea and dinner. Up and down the hall of Shanning, he was also instructed by Mama Ye not to mention this unhappy person named Su Lian.

Yi Concubine seems to have lost a powerful palace maid, but in fact, everyone knows that Su Ni is a person who climbs up diligently, and the removal of such a person is to remove a thorn that makes her uncomfortable. Even after taking the medicine for a few days, the rash on the fourth princess has disappeared.

It happened that in the afternoon, Concubine De brought a pill called Lingzhi Yimu Pill to give to Su Lai, "If Sister Su is in severe pain, you might as well take a few pills, it must be effective." I had a terrible pain half a month ago, so I went to Dr. He to prepare such a medicine, except for a taste of Ganoderma lucidum in it, the rest of the motherwort, angelica, Chuanxiong, peony, and rehmannia are not rare things. ”

Su Lian glanced at the black pills, and there was indeed a strong bitter taste of Ganoderma lucidum, and each of them was as big as a little thumb, which made people have a headache when they saw it, so he asked Xie Guo to ask Sixi to put it away, and said, "I don't hurt much, but I like to be lazy." ”

called the warm white jade milk tea on the embroidery screen, and Su Curtain diverted the topic after drinking: "I heard that the fourth princess is no big deal." ”

Concubine De said with a smile: "Although the imperial doctor has already lightened the dosage of medicine, in the end, the fourth princess is young, and now her body is a little weak, I am afraid that she will have to recuperate for some time." ”

Children with a weak spleen and stomach should indeed not take too much bitter medicine. Su Lian was silent for a while, and then listened to Concubine De say slowly: "This is the second time, I remember that the last time was when the princess was under the age of one, and she had a rash in Concubine Tong's palace." ”

"Oh?" When Su Lian heard this, he couldn't help but be curious.

Concubine De smiled. continued: "Sister Su doesn't know if she remembers, Concubine Tong also loves hosta flowers, especially white hostas, and the palace often worships blooming hostas in summer. It's much more elegant than the smoked scent! On the day of the partial birth, Yi Concubine and Guo Guiren brought the four princesses to ask for peace, and Concubine Tong Guifei saw that the four princesses were white and tender, so she took hosta flowers to play with her, but she didn't think about it - the princess only played for a while, and she had a rash on her face and neck. ”

Concubine De lowered her head and took a sip of milk tea to moisten her throat, the lotus pattern engraved on the enamel armor of her little finger shone brightly, she gently straightened her sleeves, and continued: "I was also there at the time, but I was really shocked!" Although the imperial doctor arrived in time to prescribe the prescription, the emperor was furious. Concubine Tong was hung up in the end, and was almost deprived of the power to manage the six palaces. ”

That time, it should be what Xuan Ye said, the time when Yi Concubine took care of the fourth princess for three days and three nights and didn't close her eyes, right? Concubine Tong was reprimanded, but Concubine Yi and Guo Guiren were thriving. Su Lian asked, "Did the fourth princess have a rash that time?" ”

Concubine De smiled, "Concubine Yi said to herself that it was the first time, but it was just ...... Sister Su probably didn't know that the hosta flower was fragrant and elegant, and it was the favorite thing of the concubines in the palace. But within a few months of the birth of the fourth princess, they were quietly removed. ”

De Concubine is the tone of the statement. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Since the hosta has been planted in Yikun Palace, it will inevitably be discovered that the fourth princess is allergic to the pollen of the hosta flowers as soon as possible, so she will take a look at the flowers that have been treated! Only then was he able to calculate Tong Guifei ruthlessly!! Now Yi Concubine has repeated her old tricks, but unfortunately she has not succeeded again.

"The emperor still loves his sister more, even Concubine Tong can't compare!" De Concubine said with envy.

"Sister De Concubine doesn't know, the purple hosta was ordered by the emperor to be transplanted into my palace. If the emperor blames me, isn't he blaming himself? Su Lian explained with a smile.

"I see!" Concubine De smiled and nodded, with a look of sudden realization, "Now there are hostas in the palace, and everyone in the palace knows that the fourth princess is allergic to this pollen." and it was no longer planted. Even Concubine Tong grew wise, and no longer offered flowers, but only burned incense. ”

Su Lian said: "The emperor loves the princess very much. ”

Concubine De nodded slightly and said: "Naturally, I love him very much, the emperor only has three daughters, and the next ones are all dead in infancy." Even Concubine Rong's second princess was frail and sick a few years ago, but Guo Guiren's fourth princess was born with eight pounds and six taels, looking white and healthy! It's just that I thought of looking at healthy children, but I inevitably suffered from the damage to my health. ”

Talking to De Concubine, Su Lian always had to ask his head to turn faster. The struggle of the women in the palace is hidden in the shadows, but it is always endless, and the child is precisely the most valuable tool for competing for favor...... It's just that Yi Concubine did this, Guo Guiren, the biological mother, was actually willing?

"I remember that day, Guo Guiren only kept crying, she is not a quiet person on weekdays." Su Dian thought about it, in her impression, Xiao Guo Luo Luo was sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued.

Concubine Yin Yin smiled: "My own child suffered from this suffering, and she was powerless as a mother, so naturally there was nothing else to say except crying." ”

Su Lian slowly stood up and looked out of the window of Linghuaxuan, the purple hosta that was still in full bloom, slowly fragrant like water, diffused into the inner hall. The flowers and trees of the Tangning Hall are all taken care of by the eunuch Jin Si, and the purple hosta is specially planted outside the Xuan window, in order to attract the flowers to bloom and fragrance into the palace. In the distance, there are also roses, peonies, peonies and other red and purple dazzling flowers, probably because of this, the hosta is elegant and pleasant.

Concubine De also got up, stepped forward in a few small steps, and whispered: "The emperor went to the Cloud Cliff Pavilion to visit the princess in the morning, but it is really unfortunate that my sister can't sleep when she comes to the moon...... I don't know if the emperor will stay overnight in the Cloud Cliff Pavilion? ”

The warm breeze in the face was as thin as a veil, blowing away the coolness of the inner hall, Su Curtain raised his hand to close the window, sat on the glass couch, lightly twisted a preserved fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. For a while, the room was silent, and Concubine De's slightly embarrassed color floated on her cheeks, she pursed her lips lightly, and then said: "The concubine in the palace is already full-term, and the imperial doctor said that she is afraid that she will give birth soon." Alas, the birth of a concubine is also full of disasters and eight difficulties, and now it is finally ready to give birth. ”

In the nineteenth year of Kangxi, the age was in Gengxin, it was the scorching July, the sky was like a fire, the earth was like a furnace, the flowers and plants were depressed, and in the hot season, the cicadas always chirped one after another.

Su Lian's body was tired, and his tone was also sorrowful: "It's not easy to be a mother......"

The embroidery building of the big palace maid of the Tangning Hall was in a hurry, opened the curtain and came in, hurriedly walked Wanfu, and said: "The emperor has left the Yunya Pavilion, and sent Wei Zhu to come over to spread the word, saying that he will come back in the evening." ”

Su Curtain said "oh", and finally let go of his heart, and Xiulou said: "Yi Concubine Niangniang is here, and she is already outside the hall." ”

Su Lian couldn't help but wonder: "What is she here for?" ”

Xiulou replied: "He said that he came to the door to make amends." ”

Su Lian couldn't help sneering in his heart, his face was mild, and there was inevitably a little thorn in his mouth: "How can I deserve it?!" Yi Concubine Niangniang is a dignified concubine master, a noble girl from Shangsanqi, how dare I accept her reparation? ”

Xiulou raised his head slightly and said, "It seems that the emperor called Concubine Yi Niangniang to make amends." ”

Concubine De smiled and comforted at this time: "Since Concubine Yi is here, it's not good to leave her outside, it's such a hot day, and the sun is so big outside, let's invite her in for tea." ”

Su Lian asked again: "Is Yi Concubine here alone?" ”

Xiulou nodded and said: "Yes, only Yi Concubine Niangniang, Guo Guiren stayed in the Cloud Cliff Pavilion to take care of the four princesses." ”

Su Curtain nodded, that's good, if she brought the fourth princess, Su Curtain wouldn't dare to call in the door. Since she deliberately chose to come to the door at such a scorching hour, it was a bitter ploy, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to it.

When Yi Concubine came in, she was indeed wearing a bead of sweat the size of a bean, the fat powder on her face had also fallen off a little, her cheeks were burned red, and she was a little embarrassed, but she still looked like Yan Yan with a smile: "Yo, it turns out that Sister De Concubine is also there!" ”

Concubine De said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, you will come to talk to Sister Su." ”

Yi Concubine smiled like a flower, and her eyebrows were affinity: "I really envy Concubine De, this Hall of Taning is a place where the emperor has to come every day, and Concubine De is really close to the water and gets the moon first!" ”

Concubine De doesn't come to the Taning Hall often, and even if she does, she always chooses it when Xuan Ye is no longer there. Concubine De has always been a person who is extremely knowledgeable and interesting, and is also very good at being a person. She can endure loneliness, and he will inevitably have long-term wealth in the future.

Concubine De was not annoyed at all, and said flatly: "Didn't Concubine Yi come to make amends?" Why did you leave the main owner aside? ”

Yi Concubine chuckled, and hurriedly walked to Su Lian: "It's mine, isn't it!" I only cared about talking to Concubine De, but I forgot about my sister! I'm so stupid, don't be angry, sister. ”

Su Lian maintained a shallow smile and said formulaically: "You are serious." ”

"I knew that Sister Su was by no means a person with a small belly!" Yi Concubine smiled tactfully, and hurriedly reached out to hold Su Lai's hands, looking affectionate, "Sister, don't look at me with a shrewd face, but in fact, I am a stupid person, I can't turn, and I am always impatient, so I will misunderstand my sister!" I really deserve to fight! Sister Su is generous, but you must forgive me this time! ”

Yi Concubine's mouth was full of lotus flowers, and she was really clever, she wiped her tears and said: "Fortunately, the emperor is wise, otherwise if I am also suspicious of my sister, then I have really made an irreparable mistake!" ”
