By the time Moran got dressed, it was already noon.

Qingqiu had already instructed the palace people to prepare the meal, but Mo Lan had no appetite, so he only drank half a bowl of duck meat and bamboo shoot soup, and then put the bowl aside. Zhao Zhen said: "What do you want to eat, let the chef do it." You didn't eat in the morning, and you hurt your stomach when you were hungry. ”

Moran said: "I just don't want to eat it." He smiled again: "Stay out of the palace, let's go directly to the county mansion, okay?" ”

Zhao Zhen rinsed his mouth and said, "Listen to you." ”

A lantern shed was set up in front of the county mansion, and thousands of lanterns were hung, and the lights were not extinguished for days. Chu Zifu waited at the gate early, and only said to his family that he was a colleague in the DPRK and China, and others did not care. Mo Lan was wearing a pear blossom white plain brocade cotton robe and a plain white horse-faced skirt, although it was a very elegant and simple style, the fabric used was fine, very soft and comfortable.

She was wearing a hood and covering most of her face, Zhao Zhen picked her up from the horse, sighed softly in her ear, and said, "You are heavy." ”

Moran glanced at him, but didn't care. Chu Zifu didn't even dare to raise his head, and led the two of them into through the main entrance, bypassing the garden, through the corridor, to his study, and bowing.

There is a dragon burning in the room, baking extremely warm, and there are a few wrong gold agate smoking cages, which are burned with high-grade silver charcoal, with light but no flame, and the red is gorgeously burning.

Mo Lan took off his hood, revealing her hibiscus jade face, and said, "Quickly call Mother and Mo Chou." ”

Chu Zifu smelled the faint fragrance that haunted his dreams, and he didn't dare to look directly, so he lowered his head and responded, "Yes." He was about to exit the door, but he heard Zhao Zhen say, "I will also go out to avoid it, so that you don't feel comfortable talking." ”

Because it is a small courtyard where the husband lives alone, few outsiders come.

He sent out all the servants who did not matter, leaving only a few personal maidservants to serve in the courtyard. He had already arranged for Mo Chou and his aunt to wait in the side hut, and he only needed to ask someone to call.

Zhao Zhen took a few steps into the back garden and asked, "Where did Moran live before?" ”

Zifu was slightly stunned, pointed to the hut covered by a few bald branches, and said, "Over there." ”

When he got closer, he saw a small pond in front of the house, filled with clear water. There are several rockeries by the pool, and there are a few cold plums planted behind the mountain, the dark fragrance is sparse, and it blooms alone in the cold.

There were a few green-shirted maids who were playing under the flowers, and when they saw someone coming, they were busy and bowed down to say goodbye.

Zifu waved his hand, and everyone dispersed in a hurry, and all disappeared. Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "This place is very elegant and quiet, which is in line with Mo Lan's temperament." Turning his face, he looked at his husband and said, "It's close to your yard." ”

There was a rumble in the son-husband's head, for fear that Zhao Zhen would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "The minister didn't live in the backyard before, and moved in after getting married." Zhao Zhen didn't reply, and the son-in-law didn't dare to look at his face, so he just moved slowly behind him.

The two walked in a muffled voice for a while, the winter days were short, and the sky was gloomy and depressed, because the official family was in micro clothes, and it was to his own house, the husband was very worried, so he said carefully: "Official, it's cold outside, it's not suitable to stay for a long time, it's better to go back to the hall to be warm and warm." ”

Zhao Zhen knew what was on his mind, and he was not embarrassed, but said: "Very good." ”

Although Mo Lan had a lot to say, he also knew restraint, and seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to his mother Mo Chou, and was led by the maid to the front hall to find Zhao Zhen.

Su and Li waited under the porch, saw Mo Lan coming, and hurriedly said, "Master, it's time to go home." ”

When I returned to the palace, it was already dark.

Moran was originally quietly out of the palace, and now he is back quietly. Qingqiu was looking forward to it under the corridor early in the morning, and when she saw Mo Lan coming back, she let go of her hanging heart, and hurriedly welcomed her into the house, took a hood, changed her bedclothes, wiped her face with a hot towel, and brought dinner to eat, Fang said: "Not long after the people just went out, Zhang Jieyu and Li Meiren came. ”

Mo Lan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "How did you go back?" ”

Qingqiu unloaded the hairpin for Mo Lan, and said in his mouth: "I said that my mother has a headache and is resting on the couch, so it is not suitable to see guests." ”

Mo Lan nodded, and asked again, "How is Hui Fu Yuan?" ”

Qingqiu pouted and said: "It's very lively to think about it, the official family has rewarded a lot of things, and Concubine De personally picked a palace person from the Shang Palace Bureau to send it, and Shang Meiren is very proud." After a pause, he said: "Niangniang has not seen red this month, and her appetite is not good, so she should ask the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and diagnosis, Xu is ......."

Mo Lan picked out a gilded jasper vermilion hairpin from the makeup box, looked at it left and right, and said lazily: "This matter is nonsense, it's not too late to talk about it in a few days." ”

On the second day, Zhao Zhen was reading in the Funing Palace, and there was an inner attendant under the corridor: "Official, the king of Qinghe County asks to see." ”

Zhao Zhen hurriedly put the book down and said, "Let him in." ”

Because the Eight Sages King was sick and lying on the couch, Zhao Qingyi did not untie his side with his attendants, and the official family heard about it and made a special decree that he did not have to come to the palace to ask for peace during the festival. Zhao Qing was wearing court clothes, and he was also respectful, first made a big salute according to the rules, sat down, and said, "Is the official family okay recently?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, Uncle Huang is good?" ”

Zhao Qingdao: "The emperor's grace is vast, you can get out of bed and walk around these days, and your spirit is good, and you can eat half a bowl of rice in one day." ”

Zhao Zhen was relieved: "I am also relieved." Then he asked, "Madame can enter the palace?" ”

Zhao Qing replied: "I have gone to Concubine De Niangniang to say goodbye." He knelt down again and said, "The courtier also failed to enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve to ask the official family for peace, and asked the official family to cure the crime of disrespect to the courtier." ”

Zhao Zhen got up and helped him up personally, and said, "Uncle Huang is sick, you are serving in person, what is the crime?" ”

Zhao Qingdao: "Xie Guan's family forgives the sin. ”

A palace man brought tea, and the two were talking about the old words, when they suddenly heard the waiter hurriedly say: "Official, Princess Minhua is here." Before the words fell, Minhua had already lifted the curtain and broke into the hall, and said, "Sixth brother, I made a drink...... Here you go. When she said the last few words, her tone fell abruptly, and she looked at Zhao Qing directly, as if she had not seen it in hundreds of years.

Zhao Qing was in pain, but he didn't show it in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "Princess Wan'an." ”

Min Hua was stunned, then smiled lightly, and said, "The sixth brother has something to do, so Min Hua will retire first." ”

When Minhua went, Zhao Zhen couldn't rest assured, and he didn't care about Zhao Qing's presence, so he called out: "Su and He." ”

And when he entered the palace, Zhao Zhen said: "You go and follow Princess Minhua." ”

Zhao Qing also heard about Minhua's search for death that day, and it was heartbreaking. It's just that he has been married for a long time, and he didn't dare to lose his honor in front of the official, so he pretended to be indifferent, as if he didn't notice it.

Minhua has been petted since he was a child, he doesn't listen to anyone, he starts a fire, and even the entire harem has to shake a few times. She withdrew from the palace, upset, reprimanded the guard of honor, and walked alone through the imperial garden to the remote palace. Walking to a pine forest, the dead leaves like needles are all over the ground, the wind blows, and you can hear the pine waves rolling.

The puppets of the palace passed by here, and they were all drunk far away by her, and they ran away as if they were in a hurry. If the forest is big, she is the only one standing in it, the world is silent, the rosin fragrance is fragrant, as if something suddenly entered the bottom of her heart, and pounced on her empty chest, she sighed deeply, and tears rolled down.

Xu is because the world is vast, and she is the only one, but I feel that all the burden on my body has been put down, and I can cry happily. Since birth, she has had everything. Whatever you want, as long as you hook your finger, someone will automatically offer it. King Qinghe was the first man she fell in love with, and she fell in love with him before she could distinguish between men and women, and she didn't know how to be human.

She thought that if she hooked her fingers, he would be hers.

After a long time, she realized that she could only look at him from a distance for the rest of her life, and she couldn't get any closer.

I don't know how long I cried, but I felt a sense of relief in my heart. The sky suddenly fluttered with rain flowers, she raised her head, and watched the rain fall from the sky, so that she couldn't open her eyes, but her heart calmed down.

She stood like that in the rain, knowing that she should find a place to hide so that her clothes would not get wet, but she did not move, just stood, as if she were going to stand until she was old.

A few red plums suddenly appeared in the middle of the eye, and then I saw the paintings on the paper umbrellas.

She turned her head and saw a handsome and mighty face, only to hear him say softly: "If you are sick, go back with me." That voice seemed to have the power of demagogy, making Minhua irrefutable. He held an umbrella for her, but he stood outside the rain, and the two walked forward slowly, with different thoughts.

She wore a long satin jacket with gold peony on a bright red background, standing among the green pines, like a rose in full bloom, although she was covered with thorns, she was unusually soft and moving. No matter how she shows her teeth and claws on weekdays, in Su Jihe's heart, she has always been just an ordinary lady who jumps into the royal river for her beloved. That day he rescued her from the river, and she curled up in his arms like a kitten, shivering and breathing, which was really pitying.

The guard of honor had already been found, and a palace maid was holding a green calyx cape at the bottom of the moon, and stepped forward to wrap it for Minhua, but was reprimanded: "I don't love these." ”

Seeing that she was half wet, he couldn't help but overstep a little, took the cloak and tied it for her personally, and said, "You should also let the officials worry about it." ”

Minhua seemed to be moved by what he said, and stood obediently and let him serve.

sent the princess to the Scarlet Palace, and was about to retire, only to hear Minhua say: "Your clothes are soaked, go back and change your clothes first." Her tone was gentle and kind, very different from usual, so she paused slightly, and then said, "Princess Xie cares." ”

When he returned to the Funing Palace, the palace people from the Scarlet Smoke Hall sent ginger soup and drinks, saying that it was a reward from the princess. The people of the palace watched and drank with their own eyes before going back to their lives.

Since the beauty has returned to favor, the concubines in the palace all love to go to Huifu Garden, and Lin Dong does not care about the previous suspicions, and does not refuse, and gossip. Zhao Zhen also attaches great importance to her, and he must go to see her every day, and he must personally look at the diet, diet and medicine to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Concubine De didn't dare to be lazy, and every day she sent someone to ask Shang Meiren for peace, asking what she needed and wanted, what she had in the palace, she always allocated it to her first, and if there was no one in the palace, she hurriedly got it from outside, just asking her to be comfortable.

For a time, the scenery is incomparable.

On this day, Zhao Zhen stayed in the Agarwood Palace, and before dawn, there were already attendants under the corridor to call up. He ascended the throne at the age of twelve, became an emperor as a teenager, and as the queen mother was used to the early dynasty, she got up every day.

The maid of the palace of the Shang Sleep Bureau entered the hall in an orderly manner, Lang Yue straightened up from the quilt, and the jade hand opened the light purple curtain, and was about to speak, but heard Zhao Zhen say: "Don't move, it's still early, you can sleep again." ”

Lang Yue lowered her arms and said coquettishly: "The concubine wants to serve the official family and dress." ”

Her voice came from behind the tent in a very charming way, and it was extremely demagogic. Zhao Zhen smiled: "There are a lot of people here, you can sleep peacefully." When the day comes, it's not too late to get up again. I went down to Huifu Garden, if you have nothing to do, you can also accompany Shang Meiren, she is pregnant with an heir, and she is bored and panicked every day. ”

Lang Yue's heart was sour, but she didn't dare to attack, and replied softly: "Yes." ”

The palace people waited for Zhao Zhen to wear court clothes, comb his hair, wash his teeth with green salt, and hold a few plates of snacks. Zhao Zhen ate green rolls with crispy cheese, and was about to go to the East Palace to read early, when he suddenly heard a noise outside, and someone faintly said: "Don't disturb the holy driver." ”

Zhao Zhen listened and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Wenying came in from the outer hall, knelt on the ground and said, "The Renming Hall has gone out of the water, and the servants have already sent someone to put out the fire, and they have been rescued at this time." ”

Zhao Zhen walked to the bottom of the corridor, saw that the fire in the sky in the west was still bright, his face changed color, and said angrily: "I'll go and take a look." ”

Yan Wenying said: "Official, the oil is burning there, and the smoke is choking, if it hurts the dragon's body, the slave will die." ”

Zhao Zhen glared at him and said, "Long-winded." ”

Because it was discovered very early, the fire was not large, and it was not even on the second floor of the north and south from the firewood room to the Tongjian Hall. By the time the Holy Driver was lucky, most of the fire had been extinguished, and only sporadic fires remained.

Seeing the arrival of the official's house, the Si Shang Palace was busy with the big gifts.

Zhao Zhen looked worried, looked at the black smoke, and asked, "Can anyone be injured?" ”

Nashanggong replied: "Because it was on fire in the middle of the night, no one was injured. However, there was a palace man from the Tongjian Pavilion who entered the palace to get the manuscript because of the fire, and his eyes were burned by the fire, and he asked the official family to summon a medical woman to take a look. ”

Zhao Zhen asked: "Have you taken out all the manuscripts?" ”

Shang Gong was silent for a moment, and then said, "Half of it is burned." ”

Zhao Zhen saw that the Tongjian Hall was almost razed to the ground, thinking that the bamboo slips collected in the past two years and the manuscripts compiled by hard work were all destroyed, it was a pity, and he heard Shang Gongyu say that half of the manuscripts were rescued, which was also a great luck in misfortune, so he asked: "Who is the palace maid?" I want to reward her. ”

Shang Gong said: "It's Lu Zifei, the palace maid in charge of the Tongjian Pavilion." ”

Zhao Zhen snorted, only to feel familiar, and after a long silence, he remembered that he had heard it in Mo Lan's mouth, and suddenly realized, and said, "Yan Wenying, go to the Imperial Medicine Institute to invite the imperial doctor." ”

Yan Wenying was clever, hurriedly sent people away, and said, "What should the palace people do with that bad thing?" ”

Zhao Zhen asked: "Can you find it out?" ”

Yan Wenying said: "It's the little maid who forgot to turn off the fire, and last night the wind was strong, blowing off the candles on the lampstand and burning the books and paper." ”

Zhao Zhen knew that they were perfunctory, but he indiscriminately made a person come out as a scapegoat, and said slightly: "You know it clearly." ”

Yan Wenying was stunned, he didn't know how to answer, he felt that his back was soaked with sweat, and he kowtowed to the ground and stopped talking.

At this time, the sky was bright, Zhao Zhen looked at the ruins in his eyes, and said for a long time: "Let the people of Shang Zhengju find out carefully and act according to the law." ”

Yan Wenying listened, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at him and said, "Get up." ”

Yan Wenying's legs were sore, but he didn't dare to show it at all, and stood up steadily.

Moran has always been a snooze, and it is cold in winter, and he wakes up late. At the time of the solstice, Qingqiu was waiting for Mo Lan to dress, only to hear a palace man under the corridor: "Beauty, the green lady of Renming Hall is here." ”

Moran said, "Come in." ”

Lu'er entered the hall, couldn't help but say, first knelt down on both knees, and said, "Niangniang, you want to save the son and not the lady." Moran was shocked and asked, "What's the matter?" As he spoke, he put on his clothes indiscriminately and helped Lu'er up.

I saw that her eyes were red, and she said sadly: "There was a fire in the Tongjian Hall in the middle of the night last night, Zifei went to the fire to get the manuscript regardless of it, and when she came out, she found that her eyes couldn't see......

Mo Lan was worried, and said hurriedly: "Can you call a doctor girl?" ”

Lu'er cried: "The official family sent the imperial doctor, but before they could take a closer look, someone from the palace came, saying that Shang Meiren had a stomachache and called all the imperial doctors away. The slave and maid will only cry, but Zi Zi said to let the slave and the maid come and beg you. ”

Mo Lan didn't dare to stop for a moment, walked into the hospital, casually made a palace person, and said: "You go to the Cuihe Pavilion, just say that I ordered it, and let Doctor Su and Imperial Doctor Xing go to Renming Hall to find me." When the man went, Mo Lan didn't care about breakfast, hugged the soup woman, wrapped in a hood, and helped Qingqiu to walk away.

Out of the Luanming Palace, bypassing the palace street, passing through the violent room, the Renming Hall is close in front of you.

The Xihua Gate has been closed, and the Renming Hall is temporarily closed to people. Mo Lan walked anxiously, and when he met the palace people, he turned a blind eye to the salute, and went straight to Zifei's room. Although it was daylight, the room was dark, and Moran entered the house from the sun, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and it took a while to recover.

Zifei leaned on the window sill, although his eyes were wrapped in a white cloth, he also knew that Mo Lan was coming, and said, "I'm afraid I can't say goodbye to my mother." ”

Mo Lan sat next to her, seeing that she was dirty, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, tears couldn't help but fall, and said half-loudly: "You are stupid......"

Zifei teased her and said, "Don't cry, my eyes are now injured by smoke and fire, if you make me cry, it will be difficult to treat in the future." ”

Moran heard that she was reasonable, wiped away his tears, and said, "It shouldn't be the time for you to be strong...... But a few books are not as important as your life. ”

Zifei hooked his lips and smiled, and said slowly: "Tongjian Pavilion is his hard work, and the manuscript was drafted by me and him, how can I watch it be destroyed in an instant." ”

If the manuscript were gone, all traces of him would have been gone.

Mo Lan didn't know that Zifei had met Congguang, and thinking that he was married, he couldn't help but say, "He doesn't deserve to be like this." ”

Zifei smiled: "He's worth it." After a pause, he said softly: "Just because he was good to me in the past, it is enough for me to miss for a lifetime, no matter what, he is worth it." ”

As the two were talking, Qingqiu boiled a large basin of hot water from outside, wrung a towel to clean Zifei's face, but Mo Lan reached out to take it, and Qingqiu said: "How can such rough work bother beauties." ”

Mo Lan had already wiped his face for Zifei and said, "If I don't do something, I will only panic." After cleaning his face, Mo Lan brushed Zifei's hair again, and Zifei said: "I want to enjoy it well, I'm afraid that even the official family will rarely have this blessing." Qingqiu laughed when he said it.

However, after a while, Doctor Su and Imperial Doctor Xing had already walked outside the house, and Mo Lan hurriedly invited the two of them in, and when he saw that it was too dark in the house, he ordered someone to light more than ten candles, which were bright and bright.

After all, there is a difference between men and women, Xing Shaoling stood ten steps away, listening to the diagnosis of the Su medical woman and saying his thoughts. Although Moran had studied medical skills for a few months, he was shallow after all, and he just listened and did not interject.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and the doctor in charge prescribed a few pairs of medicine for the eyes, gave a few instructions, and went. Mo Lan trusted Su Wenjun very much, and when he heard her say that it was okay, he fell into his heart.

After a few days, the weather gradually warmed up, but in winter, the official family specially issued an order, only she Hui Fuyuan continued to offer earth dragons and silver charcoal. Dong Zhaoyi and Li Meiren were all hot and sweaty when they sat inside, and they hurriedly took off the thin armor on the outer cover, and Fang felt better.

The three of them were talking well, but Lin Dong suddenly frowned, covered his stomach and screamed in pain, but after a while, his face became as pale as paper, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Dong Xiuyi was also startled when she saw that she was in unbearable pain and sweating profusely, and hurriedly ordered the palace people to call the imperial doctor, and sent her maidservant Pingyou to tell the official.

Ping Yu arrived outside the Funing Palace, and the Fang Zhiguan's family was discussing in the Ninghui Palace.

It was heavily guarded, and idlers were not allowed to enter. After all, Lindong is not his master, and he can endure it, just waiting for the door, and he is not noisy. When the official family dispersed, it was almost noon, and Ping You saw that the official family was surrounded by everyone and walked out, so he was busy dressing up, and knelt down to explain the matter.

The royal driver hurriedly went to Huifu Garden, Dong Xiuyi led everyone to the Hanging Flower Gate to pick up the car, Zhao Zhen went straight inside, and asked, "How is it?" ”

Dong Xiuyi said: "Don't worry, the imperial doctors are watching inside, and it's okay to think about it." ”

When he arrived at the outer hall, Zhao Zhen didn't sit, just paced back and forth. The palace people were even more frightened, or standing silently, or doing things lightly. After half an hour of incense, seven or eight imperial doctors came out of it, knelt on the ground one after another, and said in unison: "Please forgive the officials and other incompetent crimes." ”

Zhao Zhen was frightened, only to feel that his head was slightly dizzy, and he couldn't speak for a while, and said for a long time: "Why?" One of them, Imperial Doctor Xu, kowtowed: "Shang Meiren has used musk and other things for a long time, which hurts the body, even if she is pregnant, it will be difficult to keep it." ”

Zhao Zhen was puzzled and asked, "Musk?" Why does she use musk? ”

Doctor Xu said: "Shang Meiren previously found a recipe among the people, called Xiang Muscle Pill, which is made of precious medicines such as musk, Korean ginseng, and deer antler velvet. Just stuff the pill into your belly button, and your skin will be like clotted fat and your skin will be sweet. However, the poison of the drug will remain and accumulate in the second vein of Ren Du for a long time, making the woman infertile for life. Even if you are pregnant, you are prone to miscarriage. After a pause, he said: "Shang Meiren once handed over this pill to the minister for development, but the minister refused, and I wanted to use it a lot according to the recipe herself." ”

Zhao Zhen's temples were full of green muscles, and he looked at a few pretty peonies on his side, which were stacked layer upon layer and bloomed extremely vigorously. He turned around and kicked his foot on the high table where the vase was placed, only to hear a "bang", and the vase fell to the ground, shattered to pieces, and the porcelain pieces splashed all over the ground. Seeing this situation, the palace attendants inside and outside the hall were so frightened that they knelt down, and they didn't even dare to come out.
