These words undoubtedly dispelled her hidden worries, she wanted a harem concubine who was pregnant with a prince to think of the prevention and control of the epidemic after the disaster, no matter whether the result of the epidemic was good or bad, it would not be a good thing for her. And at this moment, Yinzhen can still distract herself from thinking about her, should she be happy?

Huizhu smiled bitterly, and unexpectedly the scene of Aunt Zhang's death and the displacement of many hungry people appeared in her mind, so she shook her head, threw away the slight sourness in her heart, cheered up and used some food, and then concentrated on the prevention and control of the epidemic and the disposal of dead bodies.

I didn't sleep all night, until the morning sun was rising, and the faint morning light passed through the carved railings and paintings, and poured down through the glass windows, shining on the light of a room, Huizhu finally told the details of the epidemic prevention and control one by one.

Yin Zhen stared at the three pages of paper in his hand with bright eyes, looked at it carefully for a long time, and showed a trace of doubt in his eyes on the word "water source", and asked: "The water source is poisonous?" Huizhu pinched her eyebrows, and said with some spirit: "The sediment has accumulated downstream of the flood, most of which are inexhaustible infections, but I don't know if the upstream water is really non-toxic. ”

Yin Zhen nodded and said: "After death, the livestock and moldy ingredients will be destroyed together, and the choice of this water source place needs to be cautious, otherwise it may be wasted." Concubine Xi, you" said, looking up and seeing the tiredness on Huizhu's face that could not be concealed, and then looked sideways at the slightly bright sky, the bottom of her burning eyes seemed to be trickling through a shallow pity, and she couldn't help but swallow back the words that came out of her mouth, and slowed down her tone and said: "Concubine Xi, these will be discussed separately, you have also stayed up all night, go down and rest." ”

After two nights of sleep, Huizhu knew that her body had reached the limit, and she didn't shirk it, her bloodless lips floated lightly, and she said with a faint smile: "Today, the concubine has to check the list of show girls from the southern provinces and other provinces, so there will be no more emperors, and the concubine will retire." After speaking, he bent his knees and turned around and left without hesitation.

Not to mention the walk, suddenly a pair of thin and powerful arms hugged her from behind, Huizhu jumped, and the moment she screamed, she reflexively hit her back with her elbow, hitting the opponent's thick chest.

Yin Zhen snorted, turned her arms back, reversed Huizhu to face each other, and pressed her waist tightly with both hands, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

Huizhu was reprimanded by Yinzhen, and suddenly her drowsy consciousness was more than half awake, and she felt a little pain in her waist, and she couldn't help twisting away uncomfortably, but she felt that her arms were getting tighter and tighter, which made her feel a burst of pain, so she simply didn't struggle, and rolled her eyes helplessly: "Your Majesty, what do you want?" These days, you are worried about the country and the people, and you almost don't care about your own body. Every time the concubine sees it in her eyes, she changes her tricks to make you eat some food, or rest a little. But the concubines are also tired, and they still have the draft in their hands, so they really have no energy. ”

Yin Zhen's kindness was misinterpreted, his eyes were full of anger, he looked down to see the person in his arms against the dark blue wrist exposed on his chest, and the deep tiredness in his eyes was helpless, I don't know why the anger was poured out by a basin of cold water, and the confidence in his chest was instantly overwhelming, but he couldn't pull it down, so he had to let go of the restraint on her, and said in a stiff tone: "The road to the capital is ruined, and the draft is bound to be difficult, and you too"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Huizhu lowering his eyes, seemingly listening respectfully, and suddenly realized that it was unintentional, Yinzhen simply stopped talking, and said, "You go down, don't worry about the draft today." After hearing this, Huizhu didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, and left straight away, but when the door opened, she still suppressed the irritability in her heart and replied: "Your Majesty, you are related to the people, so you should rest and nourish your spirit before discussing court affairs." When the words fell, the people had already lifted the curtain out.

Out of the study, Huizhu freshened up a little, and then fell asleep in wide clothes. Xu is extremely tired in the past two days, and when he woke up with his eyes open, the sky outside was already slightly dark, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and sat up from the couch, while lifting the silkworm quilt and getting off the bed, he said a little anxiously: "When is it?" Nor do I wake up Hongu. Today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to send a draft..."

Without waiting for Huizhu to finish reading, Ah Xing looked at each other and smiled.

At first glance, when she heard that the draft had been canceled, Hye-joo really hadn't woken up yet, and she was stunned on the spot for a while, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, whether it was because of months of hard work in vain, or because of the joy that the draft was canceled. Thinking about it again at dawn today, Yinzhen wanted to speak and stopped, suddenly understood, regained his relaxed expression, turned back to the edge of the couch and sat down, as if he had no intention of asking, "Oh, the emperor has canceled it, what do you say?" ”

Ah Xing looked at Huizhu's expression, and said boldly: "After the master fell asleep, the emperor summoned the minister of the Ministry of Rites over in the study, saying that the excerpt of the delayed draft was approved, so that the official document should be hurried, and all the show girls who have passed the eighteenth year will be allowed to marry." , said with a smile: "It's not early, you haven't eaten for a day, and the princess and the fourth elder brother don't dare to disturb you when they see you asleep." At this moment, the two little masters are waiting for the master to eat. Speaking of a pair of children, Huizhu immediately smiled, and asked her brother and sister about the situation in the past two days while a few people served her to freshen up and change clothes; After cleaning up, he hesitated for a while and asked, "What about the emperor?" Have you rested today? Have you eaten on time? ”

When Su Xin heard this, he smiled, shook his head and sighed: "In the morning, I was in the master's batch, and I was about to have dinner at noon, saying that the thirteenth master was here, and there was no need to eat, so I went directly to see the thirteenth master." Now they are still discussing political affairs, during which Father-in-law Lu seems to have prepared a meal to go in, and the Thirteenth Master is clean, but the Long Live Lord is not moving. ”

After listening, Huizhu was so angry that she gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, and secretly said: "Don't let people persuade him to eat, but he doesn't use chopsticks." Thinking about it like this, the resentment has deepened a little, since the beginning of the summer, in order to let Yinzhen eat more every day, she is racking her brains, this person is simply more difficult to raise than Hongli and Baolian!

He is really an iron body, he hasn't slept for two nights, hasn't eaten for a day, and he can be energetic, so what is she bothering about? Huizhu was so angry that she couldn't do it, and snorted coldly: "If the emperor wants to use food, how can this palace manage it, and I won't get these things in the future," Su Xin has seen a lot in the past two months, but he didn't hear it, and he smiled and said: "The master will go to eat first, or when he will go to deliver food, it's too late."

After finishing speaking, he bowed down and opened the curtain to wait for Huizhu to come out of the house.

The thought on his lips was just a thought, and when he reached the first day, the anger in his stomach was mostly gone, and he still carried the food box as always, and went to the place where Yinzhen lived.

If so, life has returned to the way it was, although there is less of the draft, but Huizhu still has to be a little slack, and her heart is always mentioned in her throat, every day, in addition to taking care of the palace affairs of the Old Summer Palace, taking care of Yinzhen's daily life, but also worrying about the flood in Zhili. Fortunately, Yinzhen left her by her side to serve, and she could always know the situation of Zhili with one hand; And the news that reached Yinzhen's hands was almost in the direction they expected, which made her sigh out.

Compared with Huizhu, who spent most of her attention on the flood disaster in Zhili, the two palace concubines in the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace were mixed with joy and sorrow, and their minds were restless. They were happy that the draft was canceled and postponed to two years later; Worried, Yinzhen and Huizhu are inseparable, they have no chance to get close to the holy car, but they are helpless about it.

However, another major event in the court made the concubines happy in their hearts, but the position of the concubine of the Nian clan was not guaranteed, and the concubine position was empty, and they had a glimmer of hope for promotion.

Speaking of this matter, in June, grain was transferred across the country for disaster relief, but many people in the Nian family were played, regardless of the livelihood and death of the homeless, embezzlement and bribery, and lack of grain and grass were exposed. However, Yin Zhen remembered that Nian Qianyao had contributed to the imperial court, and he was specially given a light punishment, the title of Taibao in the New Year, and the children of the Nian family and his comrades were severely punished.

Yin Zhen's side, the origin of Nian Qianyao's debasement, she is like a mirror, and she also understands the faint schadenfreude in the hearts of the concubines. But because it was July, the rainstorm gradually subsided, and the sun was hot again, she was worried that the temperature would rise and the epidemic would be vigorous, so she didn't pay much attention to the fluctuation of the hearts of the harem, and it can be said that her whole heart was on the matter of Zhili.

On this day, after the rain and the sky is clear, the sun is shining. At this time, it was noon, when the sun was at its peak, Huizhu suddenly felt that the indoor temperature was getting higher, looked at the hot sweat that was slightly oozing from Yinzhen's forehead, looked back and put down the fan in his hand, passed the cotton towel in the warm water on the side, handed it to Yinzhen and wiped his face, only then did the room instruct: "The sun is hot, go put down the bamboo curtain, and then hang up the curtain." ”

The palace people received the words, and Huizhu wanted to turn back, but she heard the person behind her calling the master, so she turned her head and saw that it was Xiao Ranzi with a panicked face, and she twisted her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" Xiao Ranzi stepped forward and lowered his voice: "The master is not good, the young concubine is here." ”

Without Yinzhen's consent, he went out of the palace without permission, and this year's family is also a little bolder! Huizhu's mind turned for a moment, and Die-asked "What about people?" Is it the queen Yun's exit from the palace? Xiao Ranzi shook his head and said: "The young concubine pulled the eighth elder brother to kneel in the courtyard in front of her, saying that she was leaving the palace without permission, and she didn't dare to meet the emperor directly, so she ......."
