The scar on the back of Qin Meiren's hand is not deep, only a shallow one, if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.

In fact, if it is an ordinary string, even if the wound is deeper, it is not easy to fall into a scar. But the guqin that Qin Meiren brought into the palace was handed down from the ancestors. In order to maintain the timbre of the guqin, the strings of the guqin are specially treated with soaking potion.

A trace of resentment flashed in Qin Meiren's eyes, and she quietly withdrew her hand from An Xiaowan's hand, and said softly with a smile on her face, "Sister is right, a woman's skin is the most delicate, and it was my sister's carelessness that made such a scar fall on her hand." ”

Ru Meiren's eyes moved, and the smile on her face became a little stiff.

She put her left hand on Qin Meiren's right wrist and said with a humble face, "Sister Qin, it was not good for me on the day of the palace banquet." If I hadn't been breathless, I wouldn't have blown the syllable two knots. Sister, don't worry about the scars on your hands, my grandfather's family has been practicing medicine for generations, and I went to my grandfather to find a good medicine to get rid of this scar. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at An Xiaowan and said, "Wangui Concubine Niangniang, you don't have to be sad, the concubine will send someone out of the palace when she goes back, and ask your grandfather if there is a way to remove the burns and restore her beautiful face." ”

An Xiaowan stopped crying after hearing Ru Meiren's words, looked at Ru Meiren innocently with a pair of watery eyes, and asked timidly, "Can you really remove this scar?" ”

After listening to An Xiaowan's words, the beauty showed a trace of embarrassment, her grandfather's ancestral medical skills are indeed good, but no matter how good she is, it is difficult to remove the scars on An Xiaowan's face.

She said that to An Xiaowan, just to use this topic to ease the awkward atmosphere. didn't want An Xiaowan to be naïve, so she took this seriously.

"Can't you?" An Xiaowan's originally radiant eyes darkened. She lowered her head and stroked the left side of her face, and said in an extremely complaining voice, "This palace also knows that it is not good, or it is not troublesome......"

Qin Meiren's mind moved, she reached out to hold Ru Meiren's hand, and said earnestly, "Sister Ru, you can send a message to the family to get some medicine that can make this scar in." There was a scar on my hand left and right, and I tried the medicine for Sister Wan. ”

An Xiaowan shook her head again and again, "If it doesn't work, how can I let you test the medicine for me?" This cannot be done, and it must not be ......."

"This ......" Ru Meiren didn't expect Qin Meiren to say such a thing, and said a little funny, "Sister Qin, the scar on your hand is from the strings." The scar on the left side of Concubine Wangui's face is a burn, although they are all scars, but the essence is different......"

Qin Meiren lowered her head when she heard this, biting her red lips with her teeth, twisting her hands in Jinpa, and there was a hint of melancholy on Ben Mingmei's face, "It's that I'm thinking too simply." Thinking about it, I'm really useless, I can't do anything for Sister Wan......"

There was no sound in the Guanju Pavilion, and the three people with different thoughts were all pleading, as if they were really worried about the scar on An Xiaowan's face.

On the fifth day of October in the ninth year of Yong'an, an autumn rain fell in the imperial city.

After the autumn rains, the weather suddenly became colder for three minutes. The cold wind howled through the imperial city, taking away not only the dead leaves on the trees, but also the last shred of warmth in autumn.

Due to the cold weather, the concubines who are pampered on weekdays burn charcoal pots in the palace to keep warm, and rarely wander outside.

On the sixth day of October, when the other concubines were still holding the hand stove and baking the brazier, the Lingxi Snow Pavilion was as warm as midsummer.

Lingxi was wearing a slightly thin concubine red palace dress, her face was flushed, and she sat on the warm kang in the inner hall with a smile and embroidered a belly pocket for the child in her womb.

Lotus Ye sat on the small table on the side and divided the five-colored silk threads, and smiled at Lingxi, "It's still the Empress Dowager who feels sorry for her mother, so she ordered the palace bureau to send the winter part early, otherwise how can you afford to burn the earth dragon." ”

"And carrot charcoal," Qiaozhu squatted on the ground at Lingxi's feet, holding a pair of tongs in his hand and fiddling with the burning silver charcoal in the charcoal basin, and said with a smile, "It was sent according to the double quota of previous years." The slave maid originally thought that the concubine's share was more than others' positions, but when she inquired, she found out that there were not a few catties more, and it was all because the queen mother loved her mother, and she was afraid that her mother would freeze. ”

"Just the two of you." Lingxi held the needle and thread in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at the lotus leaf and Qiaozhu, and smiled a little proudly, "But the Empress Dowager is really good to me......

Looking at Lingxi's proud appearance, lotus leaves and Qiaozhu laughed out loud.

After laughing enough, Lotus stood up and put an embroidery needle on the orange and yellow thread in his hand and pierced it into a piece of pure white cotton cloth placed on the table. On top of the cotton cloth, there were already two embroidery needles with purple silk thread and cyan silk thread, all of which were used to embroider the belly pocket of the Lingxi.

Lotus Ye picked up the cold and warm fetal pills on the table, handed it to Lingxi, and said softly, "Niangniang, rest for a while." These days, the weather is not good, and I always do needlework and hurt my eyes. ”

Lingxi nodded, put down the needle and thread in his hand, took the fetal pill and drank it. He handed the bowl back to the lotus leaf, and took out a sour apricot from the small jade butterfly held by Qiaozhu and put it in his mouth.

The sweetness and sourness of the apricots immediately suppressed the bitterness of the medicine, making Lingxiben's frowning brows slowly stretch.

Qiaozhu put down the jade butterfly with the sour apricot in his hand, and took the small saucer with only a few apricot pits and put it in front of Lingxi.

Lingxi's lips opened slightly, and a moist apricot kernel with a water mouth fell into the small dish.

Qiaozhu put the plate back on the table, took a wet handkerchief and handed it to Lingxi, and said with a smile, "Niangniang, you are almost three months pregnant now, but you want to tell the emperor?" ”

"What's the hurry?" Lotus Ye was the first to answer, "It's been almost three months, and it's not been three months." How comfortable the mother has been this month......"

"yes, how comfortable." Lingxi handed the handkerchief to Qiaozhu and said with a smile, "But you can't always hide it like this, wait for a few days later, when the weather warms up, let Imperial Doctor Wang take a good look at me." If it's nothing, then I'll go and kowtow to the Queen Mother, so that she can follow me and be happy. ”

"The Empress Dowager must be extremely happy." Qiaozhu said with a smile, "In the past few days when Niangniang was sick, the five princesses and the five princes have been running diligently in the Changle Palace. The Empress Dowager is very fond of their five princesses, and she wants to keep them for the five princesses if there are any delicious and interesting things......"

"You can like it too." Lotus Ye quipped, "The fifth princess has a sweet mouth, and she is about to remove all the treasures in the Empress Dowager's palace, and in the end, it is not all for you to put away." ”

Qiaozhu smiled and did not deny it.

"The fifth princess is a smart one, she knows how to please the Empress Dowager." Lingxi looked back at the depressed scenery outside the hall, and said to the lotus leaves, "I don't feel anything when the flowers are full of flowers in the summer, but now that the flowers and leaves have fallen, this yard is really ugly." Let Xiao Dezi get some pine and put it outside, it's more or less a color......"

As he was talking, he saw Xiao Dezi hurrying from outside the landing pavilion, with his head down, hugging his shoulders, and the robe he was wearing was blown by the wind and flew behind him.

"It's windy outside......

Lingxi sighed, and when she turned around, Xiao Dezi had already entered the inner sanctum and stood in front of her.

Qiaozhu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Dezi, and laughed out loud, "Our father-in-law seems to have come out of the ground." ”

Lotus Ye also grinned, "The dust on your face, Hanyu is too, and I don't know how to remind you to wipe your face outside." ”

"Go and wring a handkerchief to wipe his face." Lingxi told Qiaozhu, "Twist the handkerchief with warm water, just come in from outside on a cold day, and your face must be as painful as a knife." ”

Although this is not the first time that Lingxi has said such sympathetic words to a slave, Xiao Dezi is still full of gratitude.

After following Qiaozhu to wipe his face clean, Xiao Dezi stood in front of Lingxi again, and said to Lingxi in a cheerful tone, "Niangniang, something new happened in the palace today, if you listen to it, you will definitely be interested~"

"Our mother hasn't heard anything about it, so why must she be interested." Lotus Ye smiled.

"You still don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either." Lingxi straightened up on the warm kang, looked at Xiao Dezi, and said with a smile, "Come and listen, let me hear what is new." ”

Xiao Dezi turned around and smiled at Lingxi, "Niangniang, isn't it cold these days, and all palaces have burned charcoal basins." The Qin beauty of the Tingyin Pavilion of the Forgotten Worry Palace actually took the red-hot silver silk charcoal and burned the left arm of her left hand......"

Qiaozhu was fiddling with the silver silk charcoal in the charcoal basin, and after listening to Xiao Dezi's words, she was frightened, and she only felt that her left arm was burning, as if the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin had burned her body.

Putting the fire tongs in his hand on the edge of the charcoal basin, Qiaozhu got up and said to Xiao Dezi, "I'm afraid you heard it wrong, Qin Meiren is now receiving holy grace, how could she do such a self-harming thing?" It must have been a slave who accidentally burned Qin Meiren. ”

"There are a few palace people who have such courage to dare to throw charcoal fire at Qin Meiren's body." Lingxi looked at Xiao Dezi and said with a smile, "I'm really interested, why don't you say it quickly." ”

"Niangniang, Qin Meiren's burns were indeed her own doing. I heard the little palace maid on the side of Qin Meiren say that Qin Meiren did this to test the medicine for Wangui's concubine. Xiao Dezi raised his finger and pointed to the left side of his face, and nodded to Lingxi, who was puzzled, "It's a medicine for Wangui's concubine to treat burn scars." ”

Lingxi didn't solve his doubts because of Xiao Dezi's explanation, but frowned, and said, "Wan Guifei's scar, the doctors from the Tai Hospital have all come to see it, and they haven't heard any of the doctors say that they can cure the scars, what kind of medicine did this Qin Meiren try?" ”

"Niangniang, I heard that the grandfather's family of Rumei has been in Xinglin for generations, and he is particularly good at this burn scar. The medicine that Qin Meiren tried was prepared by Ru Meiren's maternal ancestor with an ancestral secret recipe, and I heard that after using it for about a month, it can make the scars on the face disappear......"

"Qin Meiren scalded herself to test the medicine for Wangui's concubine, and she still used the medicine like a beauty." Lingxi suddenly burst out laughing, and said to Lotus Leaf and Qiaozhu with bright eyes, "Guess who among these three people will be the final winner?" ”

Lingxi said to Lotus Ye with great interest, "You go, call Hanyu in, let's use this matter to gamble." ”

Xiao Dezi was dumbfounded, "How to bet?" ”

Lingxi took off the jade bracelet in his hand, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "I'm the villager, you can guess which of these three people will win in this battle." If he loses, he will change his name to a puppy of a month, and if he wins, I will reward him with two good cotton clothes for the winter, plus this jade bracelet of good color. ”

Hanyu, who had just entered the inner hall, didn't understand what Lingxi was talking about, and when he heard the word gambling, he shook his head again and again, "The slave is a puppy, and the slave and maid are renamed puppies, and the slave and maid will not participate in this gambling game, and there are not a few children left of the slave's monthly silver." ”

Lingxi and the others laughed after hearing this, and Hanyu's face was red, like red hot charcoal in a charcoal basin.

In the end, under the instigation of Lingxi, Xiao Dezi took out one or two pieces of silver to press Qin Meiren to win, on the grounds that Qin Meiren was ruthless enough. What else can't be done by a person who can be so ruthless to himself?

The lotus leaf lingered between Qin Mei and Ru Mei for a long time, and finally pressed the bead flower in his hand on Qin Meiren's body, for the same reason as Xiao Dezi, Qin Meiren is ruthless enough!

Qiaozhu took off a bracelet made of broken jade on his wrist and pressed it on Rumeiren's body. She said to Xiao Dezi and Lotus Leaf with flying eyebrows, "You two have no eyesight, how insidious is the trick of a beauty on the moon viewing platform!" If the beauty has already made the Qin beauty suffer a loss, it is inevitable that the Qin beauty will not be allowed to eat the second time. I'm pressed on the body of a beautiful woman, you wait to call the puppy! ”

Hanyu thought about it for a long time, and finally pressed a pair of earrings on An Xiaowan's body.

She bit her lip and said, "In the final analysis, the relationship between Concubine Wan and our mother is better than those two people, so I will press on Concubine Wan." ”

After speaking, he cried and said with a sad face, "It's over, it's over, the monthly money for two months is gone......"

Lingxi waved his hand, took all the bits and pieces on the table in his arms, and shouted like a gambling house owner, "Buy and leave, buy and leave, see the real chapter in two months~~"
