The sun was shining, and the courtyard was full of palace maids, and Mo Lan and the doctor girl knelt at the end, just shaded by trees, slightly cooler. Lindong is not a master to be messed with, she is favored all the year round, and she is used to being pampered, how can she put down her face and make amends to the palace people. She pursed her lips with an awe-inspiring expression that showed no fear.

Ruoli lifted the curtain and walked out of the hall, standing behind Jing Shu, her cheeks red and swollen like peaches on both sides. As the queen's personal attendant, others have always treated her politely, and even the official family treats her differently and has never been harsh.

Today, he was slapped by Lindong, and his heart was full of indignation, but he didn't want to make a big deal about it, and when he saw that Lindong had been kneeling for most of the hour, he whispered to dissuade him: "Queen, if Zhang Cairen kneels down again, I'm afraid that my body won't be able to bear it." The slave and maid are just two slaps, just apply ice to it, and you can also dissipate your anger. ”

Jing Shu snorted coldly, "Although she hit you, what is the difference between hitting me in the face?" As he spoke, he took the ice pack from the palace man's hand, gently applied it to Ruoli's face, and said distressedly: "If I can't even keep you, what's the use of this posterior?" ”

Ruoli said softly: "Since the Queen Mother, the official family has not been to the Ciyuan Hall for several months, if it is because of her to let you have a gap with the official family, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" ”

Jing Shu sneered lightly, glanced at Shang Lindong who was dying, and said coldly: "Although the official family favors her, I am the queen and have the right to punish the harem concubines. He is a holy monarch, is it possible that he will not be able to do this for this reason? ”

As he was talking, an inner attendant outside the hall screamed: "The official has arrived!" ”

Zhao Zhen had already walked to the courtyard, and when he saw the people kneeling all over the palace, he only glanced at Mo Lan, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Get up." As he spoke, he walked a few steps inside, and was quite surprised to see Lin Dong sitting at the bottom of the steps, and asked Jingshu first, "What's the matter?" ”

When Lin Dong saw Zhao Zhen coming, he cried like a rain after a long drought, and he didn't wait for Jingshu to speak. Zhao Zhen helped her up, and Lindong threw herself into his arms, crying so much that she couldn't breathe.

If he sees this, he kneels on the ground, "It's all the slave's fault." ”

Jing Shu frowned and said coldly, "What's wrong with you?" Can it be your fault if you are beaten? After a pause, he said: "Official, look at Ruoli's face, even the concubine is reluctant to say half a word to her, and she was beaten like this by Shang Meiren." Even if there is a mistake, it should be controlled by the concubines, and Shangmei should not be pampered and arrogant and exceed the palace rules. ”

Lin Dong cried so much that Zhao Zhenlong's robe was full of tears and snot, and cried: "The concubine cooked a drink to cool off the heat this morning, and specially sent it to the queen, but she was deliberately knocked over by this slave, and the concubine was angry for a while, so she slapped her twice. The concubines want to honor the queen well, where is the pampering and arrogance? The more he cried, the more angry he became, and he almost fainted.

Zhao Zhen had previously listened to King Yan complaining about the government in the Funing Palace, and he was already upset, and when he entered the harem, it was such a matter of open and secret fighting, so he couldn't wait to leave immediately, and let them make a mess.

He patiently explained: "Don't cry, don't be angry." ”

Jing Shu saw Zhao Zhen softly hugging Lin Dong in his arms to persuade her, she was furious, she didn't think much about it, and shouted: "Who knows what you put in the soup?" ”

Lin Dong became more and more aggrieved, crying and howling, "Is it possible, the concubine dares to release poison?" ”

Ruoli kowtowed: "The queen is cold, although it is a scorching heat, but her hands and feet are cold at all times, and she doesn't even dare to use broken ice in the palace." The imperial doctor instructed that the queen should not eat more mung beans, and the slave maid saw that there were mung beans in Shang Meiren's soup, so she said that the queen did not eat mung beans, and Shang Meiren dropped the soup bowl and beat the slave maid. ”

Zhao Zhen only felt that his head was big, and when he saw that Lindong was still crying, he frowned and said, "Don't cry." If you don't feel well, call the doctor to take a look. Lin Dong was crying vigorously, and he couldn't restrain himself for a while, and heard Zhao Zhen reprimand: "Don't cry!" ”

Lin Dong saw that his face was already colorful, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he hurriedly stopped crying, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face and said: "The queen always loves to be so suspicious of concubines, I heard that last time Concubine De and Dong Xiuyi came to Ciyuan Hall to ask for peace, somehow angered the queen, Dong Xiuyi still has a long scar on his wrist...... "Before the words were finished, Jing Shu was already angry and lost Houyi, and reprimanded: "You dare to slander me in front of the official family, it can be seen that you have ill intentions!" ”

Lin Dong relied on the official family to pamper himself, and said inch by inch: "If the official family doesn't believe it, you can Xuan Dong Xiuyi come over to confront him." Just like today, the queen not only asked me to kneel, but also made the palace people pinch the arms of the concubines. As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and stretched out a green onion arm in front of Zhao Zhen, and was about to say a few words, but suddenly felt that something was coming, she instinctively stepped back, and when she reacted, the queen had already slapped the official's ear, and in just a moment, Zhao Zhen's neck had been scraped out of a long red blood mark by her fingernails.

There was silence all around, no sound could be heard, and everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

Jing Shu wanted to tear off Lindong's long sleeves in a hurry to prevent Zhao Zhen from seeing it, but as soon as her palm stretched out, she couldn't help but throw it out. Zhao Zhen's face became more and more pale, revealing a look of anger, Jing Shu was frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, the corners of her lips trembled: "The concubine didn't mean it, the concubine just wanted to ......"

Lin Dong interrupted sharply and said, "Come on, go and ask the imperial doctor to come and treat the official's family." ”

But he didn't want to be stopped by Zhao Zhen, he said coldly: "Since the queen didn't mean it, let's stop here." It's just a minor injury, and it's not broken, so it's not in the way. ”

If she didn't want this matter to come to such a high point, if she let the officials know, it would inevitably be another turmoil, she turned her mind and hurriedly said: "The slave maid just summoned the doctor girl from the Pure Peace Pavilion, and the official family doesn't want to summon the imperial doctor, so let the doctor take a look for you." Seeing that Zhao Zhen did not object, Ruo left the courtyard and called: "The medical girl from the Cuihe Pavilion is here." ”

The lady in charge led Mo Lan to drive forward, because the queen was still kneeling on the ground, the two did not know how to salute, so they had to kneel down and kowtow to say goodbye. When Zhao Zhen saw Mo Lan, he softened a little first, and said to everyone: "Get up." ”

If she got up and went to help Jingshu, Jingshu panicked, her legs were weak, and she almost fell down again.

Because Mo Lan kept her head down, she didn't look carefully, and she didn't know who it was, thinking that it was just a small palace person from the Cuihe Pavilion. By the time Lin Dong recognized the person, Mo Lan had already picked out a transparent plaster with his fingertips and gently wiped it on the scar on Zhao Zhen's neck.

She blew softly and stroked softly with her fingertips. Zhao Zhen was blown by her and couldn't help but look at her. I saw that her ears were exquisite, and a wisp of green silk hung down from her temples brushed around her eyebrows and eyes, making her skin more and more white as snow, moist and shiny.

There was a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth, knowing that Zhao Zhen was looking at her, she didn't squint, she only focused on what she was doing. After the ointment was finished, he opened his mouth and said silently, "You deserve it." ”

Zhao Zhen saw her with a playful look on her face, and somehow the anger in his heart was mostly reduced.

After wiping the medicine, the doctor girl and Mo Lan retreated, Lin Dong knew in his heart, but he didn't show his color, only secretly clenched the Jinpa in his hand. Zhao Zhen didn't want to stay in the Ciyuan Hall anymore, so he drove to the Funing Palace, walked to the gate of the palace, and instructed the palace people: "Today's matter, this is the end, and it must not be discussed again." ”

When Lin Dong heard this, he didn't dare to mess around anymore and went back to Huifu Garden alone.

Back at the Cuihe Museum, it was already dusk. The matter in the palace spread very quickly, and before Mo Lan stepped into the hall, Jin Yunu had already greeted him, "I heard that Shang Meida made trouble in Ciyuan Hall today, and the queen actually reached out to hit the official family, but is it true?" ”

Mo Lan was extremely tired, washed his face, changed into the old gauze skirt he was wearing, and then said: "The official family can issue an order that you are not allowed to discuss this matter, why do you dare to ask?" ”

Jin Yunu said again: "I heard that you helped the official clean up the wound, but is there such a thing?" ”

Mo Lan remembered Zhao Zhen's anger at that time, thinking that he was the king of a country, and he was dizzy by the harem women, so he felt funny, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The jade slave was full of envy and said, "Such a good thing, why can't it be my turn!" You say, if I was treating the official's family, would he remember that he had seen me at the banquet that day? ”

Mo Lan smiled: "Don't talk about the palace maid, there are so many concubines in him, and not everyone can remember it, you still have to die of this heart." ”

When Yu Nu heard this, he was very displeased, and said: "Do you think that I am not as good-looking as you, not as smart as you, and a cheap maid, and I am not even allowed to dream?" ”

Moran saw that there was anger on her face, and for some reason, she hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, I just ......"

The jade slave reprimanded: "Just what? On that day, I just sent a bowl of mung bean drink to Imperial Doctor Xing, and you told me not to be delusional, but now I just said a few casual words admiring the official family, and I haven't done anything yet, so you have to say this about me. I treat you as a sister, but you always look down on me. As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Mo Lan didn't know the twists and turns, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away her tears, and said softly: "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, don't cry." You are beautiful, and you are above me. You're also very smart, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen from the dyeing workshop to come to the Cuihe Pavilion. I like you very much, really, without the slightest hint of belittling you. ”

Yu Nu said, "Then why do you want to rob Imperial Doctor Xing with me?" I saw him put half an extra chicken leg in your meal at noon! Mo Lan expected that Xing Shaoling must want to have some relationship with him, so he didn't care, he just said: "When did I rob him with you again, I have no disagreement with him except for my colleagues." ”

Yunu didn't believe it, and said with tears in her eyes: "Is this true? ”

Moran said solemnly: "I have a heart to belong to, so naturally I can't lean on others anymore, you can rest assured." It's just that Xing Shaoling, I still don't think he can rely on him, you should find someone else. ”

Yu Nu didn't want to theorize, and said with a smile: "This is my good sister." ”

The two shook hands and talked for a long time, Mo Lan told everything she saw and heard in the Ciyuan Palace, and Yunu listened carefully, and asked for a long time before stopping.

When everyone dispersed, only the empty hall was left, and Jingshu sat on the wind seat, almost unable to hold herself. As night fell, the waiter came to ask for dinner, but she also angrily scolded her for going out. The palace people were afraid of accidentally provoking the queen, so they all hid far away, and the entire Ciyuan Hall was like an empty building, although the fire was shining, there was no voice.

Ruoli walked into the hall lightly with a vermilion lacquer food plate, handed the blue glazed lotus pattern porcelain bowl to Jing Shu, and persuaded: "The queen should eat some five-flavor porridge, if she loses her body due to daytime events, it is not worth it." ”

Jingshu looked in a trance, brushed away the bowl, and said, "I can't imagine that after I am a country, I can't fight the little three-grade beauty." Ruoli said: "Actually, if you want to win the beauty, it's not impossible." ”

When Jing Shu heard this, her eyes suddenly had a look, and she asked, "What good way do you have it?" ”

Ruoli said gracefully: "Do you have any attention to the little doctor girl who rubs medicine for the official family during the day?" ”

Jingshu pondered for a moment, but couldn't remember, so she shook her head.

Ruoli said: "The queen still remembers that last winter, there was a palace maid in the Imperial Tea Division who was pregnant with a dragon heir, accidentally had a miscarriage, and was demoted by the queen mother to the dyeing workshop to be a cheap maid, and the official family was furious, not only sent Yang Meiren, who was quite favored, out of the palace as a nun, but also lay on the couch for three or four months. ”

Jing Shu was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Shang Lindong?" ”

Ruo Lifu handed the porcelain bowl in his hand to Jing Shu, and said lightly: "That palace maid's name is Zhang Molan, and she is the medical woman who smeared medicine for the official family today." ”

Jing Shu took the bowl, pinched the small spoon in her hand, and gently scooped the sweet porridge in the bowl, but she didn't eat it, just looked at the greasy beans in the bowl, and said meaningfully: "The official family obviously recognizes her, but pretends to be strange." ”

Ruoli nodded and said, "I looked at the official family's expression carefully, and I seemed to care very much about that Moran ......."

Before the words were finished, she suddenly heard the sound of "bell", and Jing Shu threw the porcelain bowl in her hand far away, and the purple-red porridge juice mixed with beans splashed all over the ground. She propped her right hand on the edge of the stool, clenched her fists, and said hatefully: "These fox moths, one after another, when will they end!" ”

Some palace people wanted to enter the palace to clean up, but they were glared out by Jing Shu.

Ruo Li said: "Now I am afraid that the only one who can deal with Shang Lindong is Zhang Molan." ”

Jingshu asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Ruoli said in a low voice: "I just sent someone to the Cuihe Pavilion to inquire, only to find out that Zhang Molan has been silently behind Zhou Huaizheng. That being the case, it is naturally the meaning of the official family. ”

When Jing Shu heard this, she felt that her anger seemed to burst out, and her brain was about to faint. But she endured it, tried her best to hold back, she was the queen, no matter how they tossed, they couldn't go beyond themselves. But she was so depressed, powerless, and desperate, from the first time she saw him, it was like a seed planted in her heart, which gradually took root and sprouted as the years passed.

But to him, he was like an ornament, an ornament hanging high above the Ming Hall. Sometimes, she really hopes that when she was selected for the future position that day, it was not Guo Jingshu who was held by him.

On the second day, the turmoil in Ciyuan Hall spread all over the government and the opposition, and some officials presented a chapter to reprimand the queen for her disgrace, and she had no heirs for many years, so it should be abolished. Although Zhao Zhen was angry, he still had a friendship with Jingshu, so he didn't pay attention to what people said.

Now the most popular thing in the forbidden palace is the agarwood hall, agarwood and agarwood, which is really quiet and mellow. Zhao Zhen was annoyed by the quarrel of the queen and the beauty, in contrast, the quiet and shyness of the moon, the softness and softness were still precious, and the more he liked it. There were only three or four painted copper goose fish lamps burning in the dormitory, which were not very bright, and the figures were faintly reflected on the light yellow curtains.

Zhao Zhen was lying on the pear wood engraved rattan chair with his eyes closed, and Lang Yue was wearing a sheer white silk skirt standing behind him, with a curly posture. She rubbed his temples slowly, her fingers were soft and boneless. The gauze sleeves on his wrist brushed the side of his ear, like a woman's gentle rubbing, provocative.

He suddenly grabbed her hand and drew her into his arms, his eyes slightly closed, burying only his face in her collarbone. Sniffing lightly with your nose, there is an orchid fragrance rushing in, and there is a slight smell of Moran. A shallow smile rose at the corner of his mouth, slowly opened his eyes, picked her up horizontally, and walked towards the layers of curtains.

Ten days later, Zhao Zhen issued a decree in His Royal Highness Agarwood, saying: "Zhang Cairen has a peaceful temperament, relies on Roujia, and is named a beauty." When Lindong heard this, he was annoyed as if he was stuck in his throat. She originally saw that the moon was mediocre and not easy to be favored. is supple and shy, and it is easy to detain her, so he wants to use her to stare at Zhang Molan, so he pretends to promote her everywhere. But I don't want to, I really lost my wife and lost my soldiers, and now she is equal to herself, and her holy grace is above herself, and she can't help but feel full of regret.

Because of the promotion of new concubines, everyone went to the Ciyuan Palace to ask the queen for peace.

The moon came late, and with Zhao Zhen, although the concubines were jealous and hateful, they were all happy and harmonious on their faces, and they were very lively. Jingshu finally looked forward to Zhao Zhen's coming, but she was cowardly and didn't know how to please. Zhao Zhen, as in the past, smiled gently, smiled at the concubines, and never pretended to be colorful.

Concubine Yang De has been a concubine since she was made a concubine and has never been summoned by Zhao Zhen again. Knowing that he was coming today, he deliberately dressed up, wearing a light green folded branch pattern thin silk gown, a silver-red light lily skirt, holding an autumn cloud bun, a little green crested head in his hair, and a little green crested hairpin in his hair, hanging down the fine tassels rippling in the forehead, the more white the skin is like snow, the eyes are like clear Hong, very charming and seductive.

She took out an object from her arms, presented it to Zhao Zhen, and said with a clever smile: "The concubine has nothing to do recently, so she made a pair of socks for the official family with her own hands, and asked the official family not to dislike the concubine's clumsiness." ”

Zhao Zhen took it, saw that her fingers were wrapped in ointment, and said with concern: "What's the matter?" ”

Concubine Yang De hurriedly withdrew her hand, hid it behind her, and said softly: "The concubine is fine." ”

Her attendant on the side said smartly: "In order to make socks for the official family, the mother has been pricked with needles many times, and she refuses to call the imperial doctor to take a look, so she only asks the slave to put some ointment." ”

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "Take a look at me." ”

Concubine Yang Defei stretched out her palm, Zhao Zhen held her slender hand, and saw that there were many fine red dots on her hand, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "In the future, the needlework will be handed over to the embroidery room to do, even if it is in your hand, I will feel distressed." ”

Concubine De had never heard such sweet words, and in front of everyone, her face was already slightly red with shame, and she hurriedly bowed down and said softly: "Yes." I heard Zhao Zhen say again: "Your father and brothers are all important ministers that I rely on, if you let them know that you still have to do such work in the palace, I am afraid that I will blame you for treating you badly." ”

Concubine De heard Zhao Zhen talk about her father and brother in the family, and she was quite proud, and her face gradually showed pride.

Some palace people present freshly made crushed ice fruits, in which are stacked with several plates of kumquat paid tribute by Jiangxi County. The kumquat is extremely precious, and there are only a few small baskets every time the tribute is paid, except for some cases in the emperor's harem, no one else has them.

Zhao Zhen thought that Mo Lan liked to eat, so he said: "The queen is weak, it is not appropriate to eat more cold fruits, you should remember it well, why did you hold these again?" ”

When Jingshu heard Zhao Zhen say this, she was full of relief, knowing that he had forgiven herself, her eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears. I only heard Jingshu say: "I heard from the palace people that the official family loves to eat kumquats, so it is better to send these to the Funing Palace, which is also a little bit of the concubine's heart." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Very good." ”

It was night, Zhao Zhen stayed in Ciyuan Palace, and the queen had not slept for a long time, so she felt flattered. The moon is like a jade plate, the sky is full of stars, and the Milky Way is flowing down, across the sky. The two sat in the court to admire the moon, and there were palace people standing behind them gently shaking the pu fan, and the surrounding area was shrouded in a thin gauze to prevent mosquitoes from flying in.

Jingshu was accompanied by Zhao Zhen by her side, but she felt satisfied, and she didn't speak, boos silently enjoying this moment of intimacy. Zhao Zhen's face was faint, and the palace people held up the candle flame on the side, took the book, leaned on the stool and read it carefully. Jing Shu stared at him under the lamp, only to see that his eyebrows were like thick ink, the tip of his nose was straight, his expression was dull and serious, and his silhouette was cast on her body, overlapping quietly.

Zhao Zhen gently turned the pages of the book, raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you seen enough?" After saying that, he raised his eyes to look at her.

She was completely shrouded in his shadows, her expression dark, as if she were happy and worried. I only heard her say: "The official family always reads under the lamp, so be careful of hurting your eyes." She spoke softly and softly, as if the wind could take the voice away.

She had loose hair and no rouge on her face, and because of her young age, her complexion was white and red. Although she was the queen mother's posterior, Zhao Zhen also looked forward to it earnestly.

On the wedding night, the moment I lifted the hijab, there was also amazement and tenderness. He actually didn't hate her at all, and even had a heart for her at some point in the past.

There was a wind blowing, she was wearing less, and unconsciously hugged her arms, Zhao Zhen instructed the palace people: "Go and give the queen that dress." Jingshu's heart warmed, and she said in a low voice: "Xie Guan's family cares." "They were husband and wife, but they had to follow red tape, respect each other like guests, and even grind their ears and temples very little.

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and touched her palm, only to feel cold to the bone, pity in his heart, and said: "It's cold in the evening, you go to rest first, I will come over after reading these pages." ”

Jingshu wanted to invite him to sleep together, but she couldn't open her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed down and said, "The concubine will go first, and the official family will come over early." Seeing him nod, she gradually withdrew her palm from his big greasy hand, and a little coolness gradually appeared between her wrists.

Some palace people lifted the tulle, Jing Shu bowed slightly and got out of the tent and walked to the room. She was thin and weak, and she was wearing a plain brocade nightdress, the wind blew the corners and sleeves of her skirt, and she danced faintly with the wind in the dark, like an immortal. Zhao Zhen slowly turned his head, his eyes still looking at the book, silent.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother, perhaps, he would have liked her too.

It's just that it's not the right time for them to meet.

Suddenly, it rained heavily in the sky, and the whole Bianjing was covered in rain and fog, making it difficult for passers-by to walk. It is rare that there is nothing to do in the Cuihe Pavilion, and the doctor in charge is not under the control of the forbidden palace, so she went out of the palace alone. Mo Lan stayed in the library to study the symptoms and prescriptions accumulated in the previous few days, and if he was confused, he consulted Xing Shaoling. In the museum, because Su Wenjun was not there, and Xing Shaoling didn't care about anything, the doctors and girls were idle and lazy, making trouble in one place, laughing and having fun.

Zhou Huaizheng was dressed in rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella, leading two chamberlains, and walked quickly in the rain. When I arrived at the entrance of the museum, I didn't take off the rain gear, but only took the umbrella and stepped into the house, and the rain fell down along the hat and fell all over the ground.

Xing Shaoling was laughing and playing with the medical ladies in the house, and when he saw someone coming, he first asked, "Which palace?" But an emergency? When those people took off their rain hats, they saw that it was actually the person in front of the emperor, and hurriedly greeted them, hugged their fists and made a compilation, and said with a smile: "On such a rainy day, what kind of wind actually blew Zhou Dajian here." ”

Zhou Huaizheng also smiled: "Naturally, it's a good thing. After speaking, several small chamberlains behind him had put the porcelain bowl in their hands on the table, opened the lid, and it was full of crushed ice fruits.

Zhou Huaizheng looked around and didn't see Mo Lan, so he said, "Where is the medical girl who rubbed the ointment for the official's family in the Ciyuan Hall that day?" When Jin Yunu heard this, he hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Doctor Zhang is studying medicine in the backyard, and the slave maid will call her over immediately." Zhou Huaizheng waved his hand and said, "No need." The official said that the palace people of the Cuihe Pavilion had worked too hard recently, and they gave the fruit to everyone to eat. ”

After everyone thanked the holy grace, he took the kumquat specially packed with red hook porcelain bowl from the hands of the little chamberlain and handed it to Xing Shaoling, saying: "This is a special reward from the official family for Zhang Yinu, to comfort the hard work of the day." After a pause, he said: "The slave emperor has a lot of things to do, so he didn't dare to wait for a long time, so he resigned first, and he also bothered Imperial Doctor Xing to forward it." ”

Xing Shaoling knew it, bowed down to take it, and said respectfully: "Don't bother at all, the eunuch is polite." ”

At this time, Moran was struggling with the habit of medicinal herbs in the backyard, and the rain curtain rippled outside the window, and the cool breeze was blowing. Xing Shaoling personally held the kumquat and came over with the medical women.

Jin Yunu took out the Chinese medicine book from Mo Lan's hand, said hello first, and repeated what Zhou Huaizheng said, before saying: "The official family personally named and rewarded you with this fruit, which shows his sincerity." ”

Moran opened the porcelain lid and saw that the crushed ice was wrapped in golden yellow oranges, and the fruity fragrance was still lingering. She hooked her lips and smiled, and she was not polite, she picked a big one and ate it first, only to feel sweet and juicy, and soaked into her heart and spleen. Thinking about Zhao Zhen's intentions again, I felt even more happy, as if the sadness and fatigue of the past few days had been eliminated.

Seeing that she had eaten it, the doctors and women also came over to taste it, and they all felt that it was extremely delicious.

It seems that overnight, Xia Hua has passed away, and his eyes are full of autumn.

The temperature of the sky dropped suddenly, and the cough was raging, and it quickly spread to the palace like a maple leaf dyed red. The medical ladies run around the palaces and halls every day, leaving the museum at the beginning of the day and returning at sunset, often not even having lunch, and can only bring a few snacks with them. Soon after dawn, Su Wenjun took Mo Lan to Huifu Garden, to treat Shang Meiren's personal maid Qianhua.

Halfway through, an attendant galloped over behind him and stopped the two, saying that the queen was worried about coughing in the palace and wanted to Xuan Su Wenjun to go over for questioning. Although there are many patients recently, most of them are coughs caused by autumn dryness, which is not difficult to treat, Su Wenjun intends to exercise Mo Lan, so he said: "You have been studying medicine with me for half a year, and today you go alone to diagnose people, be sure to record their complexions, pulses, prescriptions, etc., and I will still have to check them well when I return to the museum." If you can't make up your mind, don't blindly take the drug, be sure to ask me first. ”

Mo Lan was already eager to try, and when he heard the doctor woman say this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Yes." ”

Huifu Garden is as noisy as in the past, and you can hear the laughter of warblers from afar. The sun is getting warmer, the autumn wind is bleak, and Moran is driving forward with the medicine box. The morning sun shone on her face, stretching her shadow extremely long. In the warm light in the distance, the two slowly approached, both of them were green shirts and scarves.

Zhao Zhen didn't have to go to the court today, and was about to go out of the palace to do errands, so he only brought Su and He with him. He had just had breakfast at Hui Fu Yuan and was about to go to Xihua Gate. Seeing Mo Lan coming from a distance, he still didn't dare to believe it, and when he walked in front of him, he called out happily: "Mo Lan." ”

The first time Mo Lan went to the clinic alone, he was excited and nervous, and he was struggling to memorize the theory in the medical book in his heart, when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling him, and when he looked back, he realized that he had just passed by Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen saw that she was thinly dressed, so he first held her hand and said, "What are you thinking about in your heart, but you haven't seen me, why are your hands so cold?" ”

Moran withdrew his hand and complained in a low voice, "Be careful to show others!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "What is there to be afraid of." I also saw that Mo Lan only put the green silk on the back of his head and tied it with a medical woman's ribbon, and only a silver openwork vermilion hairpin was placed on the hairpin, and two crystal clear green beads fell behind the ears.

He smiled and said, "I'm going out of the palace, you have what you want, let Zhou Huaizheng send it to you then." ”

Mo Lan suddenly saw that the scarf on Zhao Zhen's head was not worn well enough, so he hurriedly put the medicine box on the ground, reached out and lifted it to his head and played with it carefully, Zhao Zhen knew what she meant, so he bowed down and stretched his head in front of her, so that she could easily reach it.

Su Jihe turned his face away and spied around. Fortunately, the hour was still early, and the people in the palace were busy washing and eating for the concubines, and few people walked around the palace street, and no one saw this scene.

After the scarf was ready, Mo Lan said, "If you can, can you ask about my sister Mo Chou's marriage?" ”

Zhao Zhen took her shoulder and said with a light smile: "Then I will go to the county mansion today, this is the first time you have something to ask me, and I will naturally help you do it." ”

Mo Lan lowered his eyes slightly, slightly worried, and said in a low voice: "My mother is not welcomed in the mansion, and Mo Chou naturally suffers with her. She's my sister, and I've been worried about her marriage. Regardless of her family background, she must be treated well. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I have put it in my heart, you can rest assured." ”

As the two spoke, seeing a concubine and a sedan chair coming from afar in the distance, Mo Lan hurriedly lifted the medicine box and retreated to the side, and said in a low voice: "I still have to go to Huifu Garden to diagnose people, and I am afraid that Shang Meiren will be blamed if I am late." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Well, you go first." With that, the two turned around and went their separate ways.

Just arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, there were neatly dressed palace maids to lead the way, through the side hall, into the backyard, through two corridors, there are several palace rooms under the palace wall.

The shallow birch was of a very high status and occupied a room by herself, and when Moran entered, she sat on the low table and coughed so much that her heart and lungs were about to come out. Her illness was not special, it was the same as what Mo Lan had seen with Su Wenjun in other palaces on weekdays.

Mo Lan was full of confidence, probed the pulse of Qianhua, and asked about the vegetarian diet, when did the cough start, where the pain was, etc., before saying: "I'll prescribe a prescription for you, you first boil and drink for ten days." Ten days later, soak 5 grams of wheat winter, bellflower, tangerine peel and licorice in water and drink, and drink it for a long time. After writing the prescription, she was relieved: "This is not a serious illness, although rest assured, you will be cured by taking medicine slowly." ”

Qianhua was originally afraid of coughing up tuberculosis, but now when she heard Mo Lan say this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Mo Lan's lady bothered. I remembered that I had said a lot of bad things about her in front of Lin Dong before, and asked Yu Nu to spy on her, but now I feel a little guilty when I think about it.

Mo Lan was the first time to diagnose someone, and he was very handy, he was quite happy, and said with a smile: "If this recipe does not get better after ten days of eating, then send someone to the Cuihe Pavilion to call me." ”

Qianhua answered twice in a row, and personally sent Moran out of Huifu Garden, before returning to the house.

Back at the Cuihe Pavilion, before he could put down the medicine box, a palace person came over and said, "Doctor Zhang, just now a lady Lu from Renming Hall came and was waiting in your house." ”

When Moran heard this, he was overjoyed and hurried to the backyard. When he entered the house, he sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at himself. Moran said: "But what is the happy event, seeing you are so happy that your face is blooming." ”

Zifei sat up, looked at Mo Lan's spirit shimmering, and seemed to return to the appearance of when he was on duty in front of the palace, and said with a smile: "I look at you as a happy event, with a ruddy and bright face." As he spoke, he poured a bowl of tea on the table and handed it to Mo Lan, and smiled: "Go out for a diagnosis, are you tired?" ”

Moran took the tea and drank it, and said with a smile: "It's not just tired, it's fun." ”

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

On the tea table, there is an earthen jar, in which is a handful of daisies, thin meridians, thin flower bones, can also exude fragrance. Zifei took out a daisy and put it in his hand to play with, and said, "Where did you pick it?" I'm going to find one and put it in my room. ”

Moran said: "This flower is not a precious variety, it is like a weed, it can grow everywhere. However, a casual sentence caused Zifei to say melancholy: "It's like you and me." After a pause, he said, "I heard that three days later, Liu Congguang will enter the palace to greet Princess Minhua." ”

Moran didn't believe it, and wondered, "Who did you listen to?" Why do you want to say hello to Princess Minhua? ”

Zifei leaned next to Mo Lan's ear and said in a low voice: "When I was on duty yesterday, I heard the new adult of the Tongjian Pavilion say that it will be Princess Minhua's birthday in three days. I thought to myself, although the Queen Mother died, there was no banquet in the palace. But Liu Congguang and her childhood sweetheart, according to his temperament, will inevitably enter the palace to give her a birthday gift. ”

Mo Lan nodded, although she didn't know if Liu Congguang's rat disease could be cured, but she didn't want Zifei to have no hope at all, with worry in her heart, she smiled reluctantly: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Zifei said happily: "I plan to squat in front of the Scarlet Smoke Hall all day, no matter what, I always want to see him again." ”

The day is getting westerly, and the autumn sun shines through the clouds and sprinkles on Zifei Zhuchai, so that Mo Lan can't open his eyes. Moran asked softly, "What are you going to do if he comes?" If not, what are you going to do? ”

Zifei was slightly stunned, she only thought about guarding the Scarlet Smoke Palace, waiting for him to come, but she didn't think about it at all, if he really came, what would she do. She looked at the daisies in the jar, shining silently in the light of the autumn sun. Her fingers touched the petals and gently flickered, her face was pale and pale, and she said melancholy, "I don't know." ”
