Since Xiyue returned to Xianfu Palace, her illness has become more and more serious. Originally, it was just a ghost and a god's confusion, but at this time, it added a lot of human fear, and after coming and going, it became a serious symptom. And the emperor, although he repeatedly sent people to condole, and the imperial doctor also watched as usual, but he never went to see her again. That's how it is.

After going to see it twice, the queen also sighed: "Since you are sick like this, how can you talk nonsense in case you are sick?" It's strange to look pitiful, if it weren't for the nonsense, this palace would be willing to pity her. Su Xin smiled: "The queen is kind-hearted." Now the emperor refuses to go to see her, just to take care of the face outside, and no one in the palace visits, and only the queen is willing to pity. The queen sighed: "She has followed the palace for many years, and she is not unsatisfied. There are many things that this palace has never thought of, and she hurried to do it first. Although it is not perfect, the mind is always good. Su thought about it and said, "Then the slave maid will ask Imperial Doctor Qi to look at the concubine and give her some medicine for mental shortness of breath." When people are sick, they should not have to speak, and they should be quiet and recuperate. In addition, the slave told Caizhu to mention her master and not to talk nonsense. She thought about it for a while, and then said, "Mrs. Gao has always said that she wants to come in to visit the concubine, and Lord Gao said that she wants to send some supplements to come in and greet her." The queen shook the plain silver armor in her hand and muttered: "Even if the palace is sick, there is no such thing as a mother's family often visiting. said to the outside world that the emperor was very good to Concubine Hui, so that they could rest assured that there was no need to visit. As for the supplements, they sent them in, so you can send them to the concubine's bed, so as to remind the concubine that there are still people in her house. Su Xin agreed, and said: "Queen Mother, Shuzhong has paid a new tribute to a batch of color brocade, the pattern is novel, and it is said to be a lantern brocade than the previous Ming [because the brocade in the shape of a lantern is woven with gold thread, so it is called lantern brocade. The motif is dominated by a lantern and decorated with tassels and bees. The tassel is generally a deformed pattern of the ears of grain, representing the "five grains".

The "bee" of the bee and the "lamp" of the lantern are homophonic to "abundance" and "den", so they are connected to the auspicious words of "abundant harvest". It's still rare! The head of the Internal Affairs Office has already gone back and forth, so let's go to Changchun Palace to choose the best batch first. The queen bowed her head slightly, looked at the two-color bullet lake blue satin robe on her body, and said: "Shu brocade is expensive and rare, not to mention that it is better than lantern brocade." This palace has always disliked these extravagant things, and Jia Concubine loves these, so you can quietly send some to Qixiang Palace. Seeing Su Xin bowing her head, she said, "If you want to go to the Internal Affairs Office, tell them that spring is about to begin, and it is time for Changchun Palace to receive spring clothes." Su Xin hurriedly said: "According to the rules, Niangniang's personal palace people are eight clothes, and the rest are four, and the slaves and maids will be ordered." The queen helped the crumbling silk palace flower on her sideburns, stared for a moment, and said: "It is a waste to make such clothes, who can wear so many clothes." Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that other palaces are fine, and the clothes of the palace people in Changchun Palace should be halved. Su Xin was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled: "Niangniang is thrifty, and the slave is not ignorant." It's just that the little lord next to him has beaded hairpins, and Niangniang is the lord of the six palaces, so she should only use these grass silk flowers, which is really too self-suffering. The queen sighed lightly, with a little depression: "The concubines love to be delicate and luxurious, and this palace has the intention to suppress it, but it can't be too much."

can only lead by example to show the identity of the queen. Fortunately, the Pope knows that the palace is different from those who compete for beauty. Su Xin reluctantly raised the corners of her drooping lips and smiled without any flaws: "Niangniang's good intentions are enough to embarrass herself." Not to mention anything else, starting from Niangniang in Changchun Palace, the palace people under the bottom have always halved the monthly case. Don't be too bitter about yourself. The queen didn't take it to heart, but said: "You are all in the palace, there is no place to spend money, and it is okay to have fewer monthly cases." And not to mention anything else, the fame of the outside is not to be obtained by silver. Su Xinnuo agreed, and said with a respectful face: "Niangniang's instructions, the slave maid immediately went to the Internal Affairs Office to inform him." The queen glanced at the newly offered spring flowers on the windowsill, and smiled: "Spring flowers are abundant, when you go out, tell Zhao Yitai that the palace wants to go to Kunning Palace to worship the gods, and pray for the peace of the harem and the concubine's speedy recovery." Su Xin walked out of Changchun Palace, only then did she slowly sink her face, and she was about to turn around along the long street to the Internal Affairs Mansion sullenly, but she saw Yuyan with her maid Zhenshu and hugged Yonghui and was heading towards Changchun Palace. Su Xin saw Yuyan and bowed affectionately: "Jia Concubine, little master Wan'an." Four Elder Brother Wan'an. Yuyan raised the silk and saw that there were no outsiders, so she hurriedly supported Su Xin with her own hands: "No outsiders are here, don't make trouble with these false texts." She looked at Su Xin's expression carefully, "Why did you look like you were wronged, but the queen mother is going to be frugal and use you as a raft?" She softened her voice, "It's really strange and pitiful, your mother's tuberculosis doesn't need money." If you still want to hang it with mountain ginseng, you can just come and tell the main palace. Su Xin's eyes turned red, turned his head and sighed: "It's just that the slave maid has a hard life, Eniang has such a rich disease, just with the slave's monthly silver, is enough to buy a few branches to visit a doctor?" Fortunately, Eniang has a younger sister to take care of, but they are all looking at the monthly example of the slave. Originally, the monthly expenses were halved, but now even the seasonal clothes have to be halved. The queen mother is blindly benevolent and has a reputation for being virtuous, but the people under us are bitter, saying that they are serving the middle palace, and they are wearing worse clothes than those who serve the noble lord. If you want to ask the mother for grace, it is okay to go back or twice, if it is too much, the queen mother still thinks that we are changing tricks to make money, and the slave and maid dare not say it. Yuyan sighed again and again when she heard this: "Good girl, it's hard for you to be filial." Su Xin hurriedly pressed the sad color, and said with a forced smile: "It's all slaves and maids, and they complained to the little master." Since the slave's mother got this disease six years ago, I don't know how much ginseng and silver the little master has used, and I am afraid that the slave and maid will not be able to pay it off in a few lifetimes. Yuyan hurriedly took Su Xin's hand, and said in her heart: "Others don't know, you still don't know the temper of this palace." This palace has always been a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he only talks about the word fate in everything. If you don't vote for the fate of the palace, you will be a favorite concubine, and the palace will ignore it. But you're different, if you enter the dive mansion from the main palace, the two of us will fall in love. There is nothing else in the mother's house of this palace, but there are more mountain ginseng. As for the silver, as long as Hongu likes it, it is not the same for whom! ”

Su Xin saw Yuyan's snowy skin and face, and she was so considerate of herself, she became more and more grateful in her heart, and she couldn't wait to kneel down and kowtow immediately: "The slave maid has been serving the queen's mother, but in my heart I also think that the little master is my own master, if I can do my best for the little master for a day, it will not be in vain that the little master treats the slave and maid so well." ”

Yuyan hurriedly grabbed her, pulling the golden millet on the green cloud and the red hairpin trembled with thin jade leaf dripping beads, and there was a sound. She said coquettishly, "Don't do that. Over the years, you have been loyal to the queen and have done a lot for the palace. Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi's child died unexpectedly, if you don't have the strength to find out that it was Concubine Xian who made her enter the cold palace, the queen mother can't sit back and relax! ”

Su Xin hurriedly said: "What can the slave and maid know, if it weren't for the little master who secretly mentioned that he should pay attention to the daily diet of Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi when Ah Ji came to surrender, the slave and maid would not have been able to find out at all." It's just such a great credit, but the little master has been hiding it, and he doesn't allow the slave to mention it, but the Pope thinks that these are the merits of the queen mother and Hui Guifei, and he is really wronged by the little master. ”

She paused and complained, "A few days ago, the queen went to see Concubine Hui, and the concubine was still talking nonsense, if it wasn't for the little master's slap, who knows what she would say nonsense." Speaking of the queen's mother, many things are done by the little master and the slave, the queen doesn't know, I hope she can understand the loyalty of the slave and the slave in the future, and the hard work of the little master. ”

Yuyan's eyes jumped, swaying like flames, and she quickly smiled: "This palace is from Li Chao, and I can get some blessings in the palace, all because of the queen's care, how can I not do my best for the queen." Only when the queen is firmly in the middle palace can we be stable. Remember to remember, as slaves and concubines, we only need to quietly take care of the mother, and we must not show our wisdom and invite trouble. ”

Yuyan said, stretched out her hand to take off the bun behind a double magpie play red lotus gold comb back, the head is full of rose gold treasure millet, the red lotus is made of red agate, decorated with green pine for the field lotus leaves, lapis lazuli gem for the waves, the gold silk double magpie neck and head up, a look is a precious thing. She handed it to Su Xin, covered it with her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Your heart is known in the palace, there are many people in the palace, don't be like this." ”

Su Xin burst into tears: "If there is no little master all these years, the slave and maid would not know what field they have gotten to a long time ago." At that time, the queen mother originally chose one in the heart of the slave and the lotus to marry Wang Qin, but fortunately, it was a small body of sympathy, and the slave and maid were kind words, saying that the slave and the maid were Manchurian, and the lotus heart and Wang Qin were both Han Chinese, and it was okay to eat, so the slave and the maid escaped. The slave and maid remembered it in their hearts. ”

Yuyan's eyebrows were crooked, and she smiled and said with relief: "Okay." If you are like this, it is not good for the people in the queen's palace to see it, but it is a mistake for us to have a relationship. In order to avoid suspicion, this palace has always been inferior to the concubine, always going to your palace, and you can't take care of you in front of the queen. It's not early, so hurry up and get on your errands. Su Xin thanked again and again, and when she saw that there was no one, she hurried away.

On this day, the weather was clear and windy, and the queen led the concubines of the palace to Kunning Palace to pay respects. After the ceremony, when others didn't pay attention, Ruyi saw Ling Yunche guarding outside the palace gate, and she smiled and said, "The matter has been done, you should rest assured." Although the Wei Yanwan you asked for is still on an errand in the flower room, you only need to send flowers and plants to the palaces, and you don't have to work hard to play with flowers and plants, so you are still satisfied, right? Yun Che rubbed his hands with joy: "Weichen thanked Concubine Xian for her great kindness." Ruyi raised her face, looked at the blue sky, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "If you want to say thank you, you have saved the life of this palace several times, and at this time, I just repay you a little." Yun Che said sincerely: "What Niangniang said is already a great favor for Yan Wan and Wei Chen. The corners of Ruyi's mouth lifted slightly when she smiled, as if she was cold, but with eagerness. She heard something meaningful: "It seems that the girl has changed her mind." You're so happy. Yun Che was a little embarrassed, the roots behind his ears were red, and he also sighed: "When Yin Wan talks about that incident, she always sighs about her life experience, saying that she can't help herself. In fact, people like Weichen and Yinwan are from the Han military banner, and it is really difficult to earn a good future without being looked down upon. Weichen knew that some things were difficult for her, but in the past, they also passed. Ruyi bowed slightly, and her clear eyes were full of understanding: "In fact, when it comes to background, who is not the same, you have to rely on yourself." Ling Yunche, this palace has already thought about it for you, as long as you are willing, in a few years, you have some talent, she can also save some qualifications, and this palace can point out marriage for the two of you and fulfill your wishes. Even if it is the origin of the Han military banner clothed slave, as long as the husband and wife are united and move forward with one heart, what is there to worry about? Yun Che was overjoyed: "Is what Niang Niang said true?" Ruyi's lips are like the crescent moon above the willow tops, shining brightly: "As long as your mind is the same, this palace will do what it says." "Time flies, Hailan's body is gradually getting better, but it is difficult to fade away the lines on her body when she exhausts her methods, and it is not good to serve the emperor anymore. Therefore, although the prince was born, the favor was not as good as before. Fortunately, Yongqi is well-behaved and cute, and the emperor's beloved son is not very cold to Hailan. Now the favored ones in the palace are Ruyi, Yuyan and Yihuan. Because of Yonghui's liking to the emperor, Yuyan is already charming and delicate, and she has a lot of grace in rain and dew. When the spring came to the court, the emperor promoted her to the position of concubine again. In this way, it is juxtaposed with Ruyi and Luyun.

Although everyone knew that Jin Yuyan was deeply affectionate, only Ruyi had never given birth to the three concubines. And Xiyue is seriously ill, and Ruyi is second only to the queen. But the queen looked at Yuyan very differently, and loved Yonghui who she was born to. Yuyan has the best face by nature, but if the queen is so promoted, how can she not be fed, so she often stays in Changchun Palace.

On this day, the drizzle was drizzling, because the spring weather was warm, and the air was filled with the lingering and vigorous aroma of peach blossoms dipped in rain and dew, as if the entire solemn and heavy Forbidden City was also dyed pink.

Ruyi just took the nurse to carry Yongqi out of Yanxi Palace, thinking that Hailan had not been able to heal, the more sad her heart became, fortunately Yongqi was strong, and Hailan was very happy to see it.

Although Hailan was promoted to the position of concubine, in the end, her background was lower, and the child could only be raised under the name of Ruyi, and the mother and son were separated. So Ruyi often took Yongqi to show her, so she comforted her a little. Even so, Hailan still cried when no one was around: "Sister, when I gave birth to Yongqi, I almost took my life, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep in the past few years." Even if I was sleeping, when the emperor saw these markings on my body, he was afraid and disgusted. Fortunately, Yongqi was raised under my sister's knees, so I could rest assured. Ruyi was speechless to comfort, so she had to say: "Don't be too sad, there is Yongqi after all." Although Hailan was sad, she calmed down and became calm: "Of course I won't be too sad, even if I can't sleep anymore, as long as I have my sister and Yongqi, we will always have a way to stand firmer." "The days in the palace are long and lonely, and only the courage of Hailan to sink to the bottom without giving up can withstand the rough grinding of the years side by side.

Ruyi thought about it for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, she had walked to the long street, only to see the drizzle drifting, and the heaven and earth were like sprinkling a transparent sprinkled silver satin, thin and soft, boundless. Ruyi Zheng instructed the two nurses to hold umbrellas to cover Yongqi from being caught in the rain, but at the corner of the road ahead, Ling Yunche was holding a large oil-paper umbrella, carefully protecting a palace maid holding a yellow peony in both hands. Their expressions were cautious, but there was deep joy between each other's eyebrows. It seems that walking under the rain like this is the happiest thing in life. Ling Yunche protected the palace maid wholeheartedly, and he didn't notice that his shoulders were all wet, and he only told her carefully: "Be careful with your feet, be careful with your slips." The maid turned her head and smiled at him very brightly, as if that smile could even be ironed away from the dampness of the rain.

Ruyi watched from afar, and somehow, there was a deep admiration in her heart. She has never seen or experienced such wind and rain on the same road, taking care of each other. Even when she walked side by side with the emperor, there were always a bunch of people following her, where could she be so happy and happy.

It reminds people of the chant in the "Book of Songs", men and women are happy with each other, and they are really happy with each other.

In the moment of concentration, she suddenly remembered someone.

That person is living in a far, far past. At that time, she was only the niece of Queen Ulanara, Gege Qingying, who had not yet come out of the cabinet, in order to become the adopted son of the queen, the third elder brother Hongshi's blessing, the queen also arranged for them to meet once. But he didn't like her.

It's no wonder that Ruyi at that time was just a pampered girl who didn't know the height of the sky, how could she learn to endure her own temperament and please others.

It's just that if he had married him at that time, although he was just a mediocre young man, even if he had wives and concubines competing for favor, life would have been much better in the small palace.

Even Ah Ji at that time would occasionally chant a sentence, the saint is unpredictable, and he is not more benevolent than the third master.

Such a thought only turned around, and she breathed a sigh of relief, what else could she think. Queen Wulanala has long been ancient, and even Hongshi has already been removed from the yellow belt by the first emperor, expelled from the clan jade, and died of illness, not to mention Ah Zhen. The world is like smoke dissipating, only the present can be grasped, what else can she think about.

By the time Ling Yunche and the others approached, Ruyi had already withdrawn her thoughts flying in the sky, and only looked at them with a smile. The two of them were busy saluting like a ceremony: "Ling Yunche, the guard of Kunning Palace, greets Concubine Xian Niangniang." The woman looked delicate and delicate, like a zhilan flower, reflecting the vermilion walls that had been beaten dark red by the rain around her, and she was instantly brighter. She is light and blessed: "Wei Yanwan, the maid of the slave and maid of the flower room, please be safe to Concubine Xian, Niangniang Wanfu, Changning and healthy." Ruyi listened to her gentle greetings, and the voice was like a warbler crying on a branch, instantly lighting up the gloom of the rainy season. Ruyi saw that she was weak and delicate, and she said unconsciously: "It's really beautiful." Ling Yunche, your vision is excellent. Yin Wan lowered her face shyly and timidly, just like the pink lotus dew, the apricot blossoms were smoky, and she had a unique grace: "The concubine is praised, and the slave is humble and dare not accept it." He smiled heartily: "No wonder the little lord likes Miss Yin Wan so much, looking at Miss Yinwan's eyes and chin, she really looks like the little master." Yin Wan was a little panicked, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The slave is humble, how dare she compare with the concubine." Ruyi just smiled: "My heart is so straightforward, you just don't pay attention to it." Only then did Yin Wan dare to get up, she was holding flowers in her hands, which was inevitably a little heavy, and she was a little slower to raise her waist. Yun Che hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her, and smiled gracefully, very sweet.

Ruyi saw this little child's attitude in her eyes, but she didn't see it, and asked casually: "This flower is like Yao Huang, where are you going to send it?" Yan Wan hurriedly replied: "This is newly cultivated in the flower house, and it is the famous Yao Huang in Luoyang." The slave maid was ordered to be sent to Changchun Palace. Ruyi watched the rain getting heavier and stronger, and there was a downpour, so she said: "The queen is in the middle palace, and it is most suitable to decorate it with Yao Huang." It just so happens that this palace is also going to take Brother Yongqi to Changchun Palace, so you can go with this palace. Yan Wan said yes crisply, and went with Ruyi. Yun Che whispered behind him: "It's still raining outside, wait a minute, I'm still waiting for you here, send you back." Lingzhi, the little palace maid who followed Ruyi, saw that Yin Wan was walking at the end, and hurriedly took the umbrella and went over to cover her from the rain, and said with a quiet smile: "Seeing that Guard Ling is so careful, it is so good for you, you are really blessed." Yin Wan hugged the flower and said with a smile: "No matter how good it is, it's just a guard, this life is like this, what else can I do." Ling Zhi's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "He's so good to you, isn't it enough?" Yin Wan sighed gloomily and said with a smile: "Enough is enough, what else can I find fault with a background like me." That's already a blessing. Lingzhi said with envy: "It's not." It's easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a lover. If we are valued by our little lord in the future, the future is unknown. Yin Wan looked back at Yun Che standing at the entrance of the long street, looking at herself stupidly, and nodded: "I hope so." Just don't be a subordinate anymore. ”
