Chapter 5 Entering the Palace

The night is like ink, the cold rain is like a tide, and the courtyard under the swaying of the lonely lamp seems more and more cold. In the hall, the candlelight is in full bloom, and the bronze-gilt smoker emits wisps of heating, making only one door apart, two worlds.

"Your Highness, it's not early, you haven't had dinner yet, the slave maid brought some lotus seed porridge, you can use some."

An elegantly dressed old woman gently put down the porridge in her hand, looking at the man muttering to herself next to the bed, her eyes couldn't help but sour.

Hearing this, the man's childish eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he still suppressed his voice and said softly: "Wait, I'm talking about the highlights, the imperial grandmother must be very much looking forward to how Qi'er treats that nosy person in the rivers and lakes, haha, I think it's very interesting when I think about it......"

"Your Highness, you have to be careful, if you fall ill because of this, Miss will be distressed when she finds out."

The woman raised her eyes to look at the person in the bed, and saw that the person on the bed had a peaceful atmosphere, no different from the sleeping person, but she could not wake up. Thinking of this, the woman's eyes were clouded with a layer of worry.

"My aunt is really boring, I just talked about the highlights, and my aunt is going to take the imperial grandmother to control me."

The man's complaint interrupted the woman's worries, and she reluctantly tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said, "Your Highness will listen to the advice of the slave and maid, eat this porridge, and go back to the dormitory to rest." I'm afraid that this day is going to get worse and worse, and if it is delayed for a long time, it will attract a wind chill. ”

For the woman's persistence, the man was a little helpless, gently folded the quilt for the person on the bed, and said: "The imperial grandmother has been sleeping for a while, why don't you want to wake up?" But are you angry with Qi'er? ”

The woman picked up the yellow dark cloud dragon pattern bowl, slowly put the minced meat porridge on it, and when she heard the words, the sour feeling in her heart surged again, and her voice was a little choked: "Your Highness said that she laughed, Miss has always put His Highness on the tip of her heart, where can she bear to be angry with His Highness." Your Royal Highness doesn't have to think about it, as long as that immortal enters the palace, the young lady will definitely wake up. ”

"Yes, Qi'er has today's situation, all thanks to the blessing of the emperor's grandmother. But seeing that the imperial grandmother was unconscious, she could only wait for the arrival of that person, and there was nothing else she could do......

The woman raised her hand to wipe her eyelids and comforted: "Your Majesty's draft book has been sent, I think that person is almost here, and Miss is devout and believes in Buddha, and the Buddha will definitely help Miss wake up as soon as possible......."

"I hope so!"

The man lowered his eyes and looked at the person on the bed, and continued: "Chun Yudi's lone book is already in Qi'er's palace, since the imperial grandmother likes it so much, then wake up early, otherwise Qi'er will give it away......"

"Smack"

The porcelain bowl fell when she heard the sound, the woman's hand trembled slightly, her face was a little incredulous, the corners of her mouth twisted, but she couldn't say anything......

"Auntie? Aunt? ”

After a moment of stunnedness, the woman seemed to have eased up, she lowered her eyes and looked at the debris on the ground, trying her best to calm her voice: "The slave maid has been serving by the young lady's side since she was a child, and she never saw that the young lady was interested in painting, so she was in a trance for a while, but it disturbed His Highness." ”

Hearing this, the man laughed for a moment and said, "It's true, I talked to the imperial grandmother about this a few days ago, and the imperial grandmother's reaction also scared me......

The woman was speechless for a long time, and only sighed for a long time: "It's not too early, the slave maid will serve some porridge for His Royal Highness......"

With that, the woman hurried out of the hall, leaving behind a man with a thoughtful face......

……

"Looking down on the grandeur of the imperial capital, overlooking the floating of the clouds", the world says that the palace is magnificent for hundreds of miles outside the city of Jin. The palace of the southern kingdom was built on a high ground, overlooking the entire Jincheng.

"Please hand over the sword, the palace is heavy, and you can't wear any weapons!" The guard said coldly.

Xiu Yuan was silent, and silently took off the Nanke sword from his waist. It's just that when the coldness left the palm of his hand, there seemed to be a few wisps of emptiness in his heart, and he wanted to grab it, but it was gone......

Song Nanke looked at the red vermilion lacquer gate, and saw a straight avenue leading straight to the harem, deep and headless, it was really as deep as the sea when he entered the palace gate.

I don't know if it was the resentful girl in the deep palace who had accumulated too much resentment here, or the influence of the violent people in the inn, she felt a burst of resistance in her heart......

"Childe, girl, please come with us."

When Song Nanke was at a loss for what she was thinking, a feminine voice brought her back to reality. A father-in-law wearing an azure coat covered by a python robe and holding a dusttail is leading the way in front.

She felt a little uneasy in her heart, they had just handed over the imperial list, and in less than a quarter of an hour, someone came to guide the way. The people in this palace are so anxious, it seems that the Queen Mother's illness is not an ordinary problem.

Although she wanted to ask Qing Xiuyuan for his certainty, there were ten eunuchs and guards around her, and if she said these words at this time, she was afraid of getting into trouble.

And at the moment, she is very uncomfortable. I don't know if the rules in this palace are very strict, or the queen mother's troubles have made the people in the palace panic, and there is no sound on the road. The gray patch on both sides is even more depressing, like a gateway to prison.

Just when Song Nanke was thinking wildly, the group of them passed through one palace gate after another, and finally stopped in front of a palace called "Ninghua Palace".

The father-in-law shook off the dust, turned around, pinched his throat and said, "Childe, girl, this Ninghua Hall is the residence of all capable people. The two of them will rest in this hall for one night, and tomorrow someone will take them to the Queen Mother's bedroom. These two girls take care of the two of them. ”

"Luomei has seen a son and a girl!"

"Shuyue has seen a son and a girl!"

As soon as the father-in-law's words fell, the two delicate maids on the side of the palace gate saluted Xiuyuan and Song Nanke in unison.

"Those two rest early, and our family will retire first!" The father-in-law nodded slightly at the two of them and walked forward.

"Son, girl, please come with the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will lead the two to the side room to rest." Luomei said.

"Thank you, girl, I'm tired of leading the way." Xiu Yuan hugged his fists towards Luomei and Shuyue and thanked him.

Song Nanke silently followed behind Xiuyuan, not because she didn't want to speak, but because she didn't understand the ancient etiquette, if she had too many mouths and many tongues, she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

Shu Yue took them to a courtyard, pointed to the two adjacent rooms and said, "Son, girl, the two of them are here, and the slave and Luo Mei are waiting in this courtyard. ”

Xiu Yuan smiled slightly and replied softly, "Thank you two girls." We don't need to buy anything for the time being, and we don't need others to serve us, but there is still a question below, can there still be others living in this Ninghua Palace? ”

Luo Mei has been in the palace for many years, and she has already cultivated a seven-trick exquisite heart, knowing that Xiuyuan wants to inquire about the news of the Queen Mother's condition, so she said: "Now there are only two sons and girls in this Ninghua Palace, and those chivalrous doctors have already been dismissed from the palace because they are helpless against the Queen Mother's troubles." And recently, only Gongzi has unveiled the emperor's list, so there are only two in this Ninghua Palace. ”

Xiu Yuan still had a smile on his face, and replied: "Thank you, girl, we are fine, and the two girls can retreat and rest." If we need it, we will trouble the girl. ”

Shuyue and Luomei saluted sideways and said "yes"

Song Nanke saw that the figures of Shuyue and Luomei gradually disappeared, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the straight waist pole instantly drooped down.

It's just that there was a laugh behind him, and it was loud and loud......

Xiuyuan found that Song Nanke was uncomfortable from the beginning of entering the palace, and a casual person came to the palace to be very depressed.

Therefore, along the way, he never heard Song Nanke say a word, his eyes occasionally touched the green figure, and he saw a stiffness replacing her previous agility, and the apricot eyes were stagnant, showing a distant aura.

It's just that when he saw these eyes, the pain in his heart began to spread again, and it seemed that there was such a pair of distant and lonely apricot eyes in the depths of his memory, shining with water, looking at him distressedly. He was trying to remember the owner of these eyes, but the sudden voice of his father-in-law shattered the pair of almond eyes in his mind, and it was difficult to recall them.

He was immersed in the pain in his heart and couldn't extricate himself, but it can be seen that Song Nanke's lazy appearance actually blew away the mist of pain in his heart for a while, and he couldn't help laughing, and his heart was happy.

Song Nanke turned around when he heard the sound, and saw the deep waves in Xiuyuan's eyes, although the smile on his face was faint, it also made it more real. On the warm and handsome face, because of the existence of a smile, Song Nanke was even more warm, and Song Nanke was fascinated for a while.

Xiu Yuan saw Song Nanke looking at him blankly, thinking that she didn't like it, so he smiled, cleared his throat, and explained, "Miss Song, I'm not making fun of the girl, but I just saw that the girl is a person with a temperament, and her temperament is really cute, so I laughed for a while, I hope the girl won't be surprised!" ”

Song Nanke suddenly woke up from his stupor, and his face instantly flushed, like a fire. Seeing Xiuyuan looking at her, she trembled for a moment, and quickly looked away, her heart was like a drum.

Listening to Xiuyuan's words, she was even more ashamed and overwhelmed, and hurriedly said, "Big, hero, it's funny, I, I'll go back to the room first, Daxia rest early, good night, bye!" ”

After speaking, Song Nanke ran into the room in a panic, and tripped over the threshold in a hurry, completely ignoring what Fang had just said was modern words.

Xiu Yuan watched the door of the original male slam shut, although he didn't know what it meant to say goodbye. It's just that when I thought of Song Nanke's appearance of running away, I didn't feel funny. This careless and bold woman can also be shy of children.

Xiu Yuan didn't realize that when he looked at Song Nanke, his smile was so deep and undulating, that estrangement had long since ceased to exist.

Song Nanke returned to the room as if he was fleeing, picked up the white jade teacup and poured it violently. After five cups, the restlessness in my heart calmed down a little under the action of cold water.

She picked up the teacup and put it on her hot face, remembering her own cowardice to run away, and she longed to find a hole to burrow.

Just thinking of Xiuyuan's handsome appearance, I felt a nymphomaniac in my heart. Why didn't she find out that Xiuyuan was so good-looking before......

However, Song Nanke recalled that Xiuyuan, who had an indifferent and distant face yesterday, seemed to be different from today, as if they were two completely different people......

When Song Nanke was thinking wildly, Luomei's voice came from outside the door, "Girl, dinner is ready, is the girl going to eat in the room, or eat with her son." ”

Song Nanke saw that the begonia-style lattice window was already golden, and it was already evening.

Although Fang Cai's own embarrassment made her not want to see Xiuyuan, she had been uneasy in her heart since she entered the palace, she was an extremely insecure person, and if she was in ignorance, she would be extremely anxious. So let's discuss it with Xiuyuan, and seeing him like that, he must already know something.

So, Song Nanke replied softly, "Don't bother, I'll just eat with Xiuyuan." ”

……

Song Nanke saw that Xiu Yuan was already in the dining room, and when he heard her coming, he raised his head and smiled at her, she panicked, and suddenly she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

Seeing Song Nanke's cramped appearance, Xiu Yuan knew that she must have a lot of doubts, or she would not want to eat at the same table with him.

It's just that, seeing Luomei and Shuyue on both sides of the dining table, she said lightly, "Two girls, we are rough people, not formal, not used to being served by others, girls should go down to do things, there is no need to wait." ”

"Yes," Luo Mei and Shu Yue replied.

Seeing that the two of them had gone away, Xiu Yuan smiled slightly, and asked lightly, "Miss Song, but what do you think of this palace?" ”

Song Nanke suppressed the crampedness in his heart, and said with a straight face, "I don't know if the hero has noticed, when he entered the palace, the guards and fathers-in-law looked solemn, as if they had a string in their hearts, plus the capable people of this Ninghua Hall have all been dismissed." I think that the queen mother has been sick for a long time, and it has not improved. I'm afraid that the emperor is already anxious and angry, and is trying every means to heal the queen mother. Therefore, we handed over the notice, and in less than a moment, they were very anxious to come......"

Xiu Yuan smiled and nodded, silent.

Song Nanke sighed softly and said, "I think of what the man in the market said, the Queen Mother's trouble is ......."

Xiu Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Girl, you can't trust me like this?" The predecessors could not cure the Queen Mother, just because they did not know the crux of the Queen Mother. I don't know how to use the medicine! Girl, don't worry too much. ”

Song Nanke didn't understand pharmacology, she only cared about whether Xiuyuan could cure this disease, and blurted out and asked, "Hero, you have amnesia now, can you still remember this Qihuang technique?" Moreover, the symptoms in the hero's mouth, the hero has found it? ”

"Nature...... Remember! Xiu Yuan wanted to say that he didn't understand medical skills, but when he looked at Song Nanke's eyes full of worry, he suddenly couldn't bear it, so he changed his words.

"As for the disease, it will be known after tonight." Xiu Yuan watched the worry in Song Nanke's eyes turn into doubt, and the corners of his lips raised an unfathomable arc.

Tonight, you'll find out......
