When Lingxi listened to Xiao Dezi's return in the inner hall, Lotus Ye and Hanyan Hanyu were sorting out the congratulatory gifts sent by the concubines of each palace in the outer hall.

The lotus leaf took the brush and the ledger, and the smoke and jade counted the number of congratulatory gifts.

I remembered, I found it out, and then handed it over to Xiao Wuzi, and Xiao Renzi moved to the warehouse to enter the warehouse.

Hanyan picked up a small and delicate brocade box, opened it and saw that it was a handsmith inside. The bracelet is made of gold and is inlaid with seven green jade stones of the same size.

Including the flue, "a red golden green jade hand." ”

Lotus Ye carefully looked for it in the account book, and said after a long time, "The account only recorded that the noble concubine gave a red gold jade bracelet, and I didn't see which palace master sent the red gold and green jade bracelet." ”

Hanyu took the handpiece from Hanyan's hand and carefully identified it in the candlelight, and said, "This is it, this is inlaid with crystal clear jadeite, not green jade." ”

Hanyan put the bracelet back into the brocade box, and said a little lonely, "It would be good if Qiaozhu was here, she could distinguish these things at a glance." ”

As soon as Hanyan's words came out, Hanyu's eyes moistened.

Lotus Ye's hand holding the brush trembled, and the ink fell on the blank space of the ledger, leaving a little ink mark. Lotus Ye raised his head, stared at Hanyan Hanyu with round eyes, and said, "Talk nonsense again, be careful with your tongue!" ”

Hanyan Hanyu hurriedly wiped her tears and silenced.

Hanyu took another brocade box, and inside was a stone with an irregular and rounded shape. The stone is the size of a fist, and the stone surface is smooth and rounded. The stone face presents a high mountain range, surrounded by fairy clouds, and a crane stands on the top of the mountain, intending to spread its wings. Looking at it coldly, the crane's demeanor was arrogant.

"What is this?" Hanyu touched Hanyan.

Hanyan glanced twice and shook his head. The lotus leaf stretched out her head to look at it and shook her head as well.

The lotus leaf looked down in the ledger again, but did not see that the name could match this vivid stone.

"Let's leave it there for now, and look at something else." Hanyu put the stone back in the brocade box, put it on the table and said, "Let's sort out the others first, and then look at that one later." ”

Lotus Ye raised her head and wanted to take another look, but saw Lingxi holding Xiao Dezi's arm and coming out.

Lotus Ye hurriedly put down the pen and said to Lingxi Fu, "Why did Niangniang come out?" ”

Lingxi said, "I'm tired from sitting in it for a long time, come out and see why you haven't counted yet." ”

Lotus Ye's face turned red, "The slave has little knowledge, and there are many things that I can't recognize." ”

Hanyu hurriedly took out the stone for Lingxi to see, and said, "Niangniang, look at this stone, it is very aura, but the slaves and maids don't know what it is." ”

Hanyan took the candlestick and approached the jade, letting the candlelight hit the stone.

Lingxi Meimu glanced up and down a few times, and then ordered Hanyu to turn the stone over. There was also something behind the stone, a pool of water under the foot of the mountain. Clear mountains, green water, white fog, a few miscellaneous stones, the whole picture is very appropriate.

After seeing this, Lingxi smiled, "This thing is a natural agate." ”

"Onyx? Is it the agate that is polished into bracelets and earrings on weekdays? Hanyu was surprised, put the stone back into the brocade box, and said regretfully, "It's so beautiful, it's a pity to grind it into a bracelet." ”

"This agate is similar to jade, and it is also divided into many colors. On weekdays, the bracelet earrings are polished into monochrome or two-color, in short, there is no such thing as beautiful. Lingxi smiled and explained, "There are very few agate that form a landscape pattern like this, not to mention that both sides are landscape, this is really a treasure." ”

"In the early years, the courtiers once paid a tribute to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, I remember that it was the size of an egg, oval, colorful, and the water was also reflected in the water...... "Lingxi paused, and said to the lotus leaf, "Do you know who sent it?" It's rare to see such a big deal in the past two years. ”

Lotus Ye shook his head and said, "Niangniang, the slaves and maids are incompetent, and they can't understand these gifts." I still haven't figured out what this agate is called, and it was given by the master of which palace. ”

Lingxi took the account book on the mahogany table, turned a few pages, and pointed to the column of Concubine Ren of the Jiyue Hall of the Cloud Palace, "Concubine Ren also sent a congratulatory gift?" ”

Lotus Ye said, "Well, the slave maid is also strange, when the fifth prince was one year old, she didn't see Concubine Ren send a congratulatory gift, but this time she gave it." ”

Lingxi sat on the stool on the side with the account book and pen, and said to the lotus leaves, "I'm with you, it's better to rest early if you finish early." ”

With Lingxi's help, it only took half an hour for the four of them to count all the things sent by the palace concubines.

Among the concubines, it was still the lightest thing given by Xin Concubine, and only a pair of jade bracelets were given in acceptable condition.

Among the four people of Yi Jieyu, Butterfly Beauty, Wancai, and Xiucai, Yi Jieyu is a gift given by the concubine who is a concubine, so the gift is three points heavier than that given by the concubine. The butterfly beauty is a gift given according to Jieyu's position, and the talented person and the talented person are given according to the position of the beauty.

And that piece of agate full of aura is actually a congratulatory gift from Concubine Ren, called Crane Singing Skyrim.

This gift is heavy. It is heavier than all the congratulatory gifts of the concubines combined.

Lingxi sneered after reading the account book clearly, and said to the three lotus leaves, "What do you see?" ”

Lotus Ye cautiously replied, "The slave maid only thinks that the etiquette of Yijieyu, Butterfly Beauty, Wancai, and Xiucai is right." ”

Hanyan and Hanyu shook their heads and said nothing.

Lingxi sighed, these minions in front of him are all good, but when it comes to those who dare to speak, it is still Qiaozhu. Qiaozhu is thoughtful, and his mouth is sweet, so he can say whatever he wants.

Thinking of this, Lingxi Mei looked at the lotus leaf, "Is Qiaozhu better?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

"Okay, it's better." Lotus Ye lowered her head slightly, and said in a bit of a panic, "Imperial Doctor Zhang has prescribed a prescription, and the slave maid has already boiled it up and brought it to her......"

Lingxi saw that the lotus leaf was panicked, and he was suspicious. Lotus leaves have always been steady, but today they stammered a little.

Lingxi smiled, "It's Imperial Doctor Shi." ”

"Yes, yes," Lotus Ye hurriedly changed her words, "The slave and maid are wrong, it's Doctor Shi, Doctor Shi." ”

Lingxi's face suddenly changed, slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Bold, I know everything about Qiaozhu!" How long do you want to hide it from me?! ”

Lotus Ye, Xiao Dezi and others fell to their knees one after another.

Lotus Ye glanced at Xiao Dezi resentfully with her residual vision, and saw that Xiao Dezi was also looking at her, and she was saying something to her with her mouth closed.

"Dare to whisper!" Lingxi pointed to the outside of the hall and said to Xiao Dezi, "Xiao Dezi, you told me that everything is meritorious, now go to the hall and stand, and you are not allowed to come in without my order." ”

Xiao Dezi was so frightened by Lingxi's anger that he didn't dare to say anything more and crawled out of the Lingyan Palace.

Lingxi watched Xiao Dezi walk out of the hall, turned around and said to the lotus leaves, "Say, now this palace will give you a chance." If it's a word missing, don't blame this palace for the relationship between your master and servant in the past few years! ”

Lotus Ye heard Lingxi say that Xiao Dezi had already said it, and tears immediately fell. While wiping her tears with her hands, she choked and said, "Niangniang, Qiaozhu is not drenched in the rain and has a high fever, she was knocked unconscious and thrown into the lotus pond in the imperial garden, and she was already dying when Xiao Dezi brought her up." Yesterday, Niangniang was frightened one after another, and the slave was afraid that she would alarm Niangniang's fetal gas after telling her the truth, so she discussed with Xiao Dezi to hide it first. Wait for Qiaozhu to wake up and tell Niangniang, and it will save Niangniang from being anxious......"

The more Lingxi listened, the more frightened she became, she thought that Qiaozhu was seriously ill, but she didn't think that Qiaozhu was on the verge of life and death.

"Mother, mother." Lotus Ye continued to cry, "This matter is all about the slave maid and Xiao Dezi, and it has nothing to do with the smoke and jade, Xiaorenzi and Xiaowuzi. If you are punished, you will punish the slave and the little dezi......"

"How is Qiaozhu now? Did Doctor Shi go to see it today? ”

"Qiaozhu hasn't woken up yet." Lotus Ye sobbed and said, "The slave was afraid that Imperial Physician Shi would alarm Niangniang if she knew it, so she didn't let Imperial Physician Shi go to treat Qiaozhu." ”

"Confused!" Lingxi said angrily, "Is it that I know that it is important or is Qiaozhu's life and death important?" Xiao Renzi, you should go to the Tai Hospital to ask for Doctor Shi now, just say that I have unbearable abdominal pain, let him come quickly! ”

Lotus Ye hurriedly raised his head and dissuaded, "Niangniang, don't do it!" It's already so late, if you call the imperial doctor, it will definitely alarm the emperor! ”

After being reminded by Lotus Ye, Lingxi also reacted that he had decided to be hasty. So he softened his tone and said, "You guys get up, Lotus Leaf, you help me go to see Qiaozhu." ”

This time, Lotus Ye didn't dare to disobey, and quickly wiped her tears, stood up and went to help Lingxi.

The room where Qiaozhu and Lotus Ye and others live is in the west hall of the Lingyan Palace, Qiaozhu and Lotus Ye are the first-class palace maids around Lingxi, they have their own rooms, and there are even rough palace maids for them to call.

When Lingxi entered, a rough palace maid of the same age as Qiaozhu was sleeping on a square table. Lingxi lifted the white porcelain teapot on the square table, empty. And Qiaozhu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, had dry lips.

Lingxi was angry immediately, and directly asked Hanyu to take Qiu Ping out to learn the rules again.

Lotus Ye walked to Qiaozhu's side, probed Qiaozhu's forehead with his hand, and then probed Qiaozhu's breathing, and then replied to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Qiaozhu's breathing was weak when he came back yesterday. Now it's stable, and I haven't had a high fever, so I don't think it's a big deal. ”

Lingxi also probed the temperature of Qiaozhu with his hand, and said to the lotus leaf, "Tomorrow when it dawns, I should ask Doctor Shi to come and take a look at her, otherwise I won't worry." You go and find a trustworthy little palace maid to take care of her, the palace maid who was punished just now will definitely be resentful, and order someone to lock her up and don't let her go out and talk nonsense. ”

The lotus leaves responded one by one, and Lingxi helped Qiaozhu tuck the quilt and returned to the Lingyan Palace.

After sitting down again in the inner hall, Lingxi said to Xiao Dezi and Lotus Ye, who were kneeling on the ground and admitting their mistakes, "I know that you are for my good, but since you are for my good, you shouldn't hide it from me and let me know." Qiaozhu was obviously poisoned by others, you carried her back like this without saying a word, what would the person who did it behind her think about it? I don't know anything about this, so how do I deal with it? You're not doing this because you feel sorry for me, you're hurting me! ”

Lotus Ye kowtowed and said, "Niangniang, don't be angry, it's the slave who is wrong, and the slave and maid don't hide anything from the mother." ”

Xiao Dezi is also a strong kowtow, and his voice is buzzing.

Lingxi also wanted to train Lotus Ye and Xiao Dezi a few more words, but saw Hanyan walking in from outside with red eyes, and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Concubine Renniang asked to see, came alone, and she was outside the hall at this time." ”
