"One Jingyang Palace is enough to attract poisonous snakes to surround you, and after the Yi nobles move in, won't Yanxi Palace also become a place where snakes, insects, rats and ants come in droves." She pulled Ruyi over and looked at the sun-dried vanilla leaves listed on the table, "These are mint leaves, mugwort leaves, half-branch lotus, lavender, and geranium leaves, all of which have the effect of repelling insects and warding off evil spirits. ”

Ruyi waved her hand to signal the palace people who served to retreat, Hailan personally served a cup of chrysanthemum tea and handed it to Ruyi, Ruyi had no intention of drinking, so she had to put it down and said: "Do you also think that Yiguiren suddenly encountered a snake, which is very strange?" ”

Hailan smiled faintly, stretched out her hand and dialed the Ai Ye on the table: "Although it is a sting today, what is the place in the palace, not to mention that Yigui is pregnant, and everyone pays attention to it, how can a poisonous snake suddenly appear?" And so coincidentally landed in the resting place of the noble people? If it weren't for my sister's calmness today, then it would be expected that Yi Guiren would have two lives. ”

Ruyi took out the silk from her sleeve, dyed it with a little oil paint, and handed it to Hailan and said, "Look at what's strange about this oil paint?" ”

"My sister comes from a poor family, so I can vaguely smell this smell, and it seems to smell some snakeberry juice." Hailan sniffed lightly and was immediately surprised, "Folk rumors say that snakes and insects like to eat snakeberries, so there is a saying that snakes and insects often appear in snakeberries." ”

Ruyi's sigh was as light as a cloud: "Today I ordered Jingyang Palace to be sprinkled with male yellow lime, who knew that within two hours of my departure, I had seen more than a dozen poisonous snakes fleeing in all directions. This is no accident. Although I don't know what the reason is, I remember that the Jingyang Palace was specially decorated with gorgeous colors to show joy because the noble Yi was pregnant. Although this is the practice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't know who did anything to bring in these dirty things. ”

Hailan groaned: "I remember that Jingyang Palace was decorated by Yigui when she was first pregnant, and it has been almost two months now, and when the smell of oil paint dissipates, the smell of this snakeberry juice will be obvious. The people who want to plan this matter are very scheming, so that they can arrange the slightest detail in advance, so that people cannot doubt it. ”

Ruyi said: "Yi Guiren wants to come to Yanxi Palace, which is not only her own intention, but also the queen's will. Before Yi Guiren gave birth safely, Yanxi Palace was only afraid of being careful. My sister is as careful as dust, so I have to rely on you. ”

Hailan held Ruyi's hand tightly: "How does my sister protect my sister, my sister must treat her the same." Ruyi was indescribably moved in her heart, she only felt that the palace was as heavy as the ice hanging in the deep sea, and with Hailan, there was also a trace of warmth that she could rely on.

The two of them were facing each other, but they saw Ye Xin knocking on the door, came in with a decoction and said, "Little master, it's time to drink fetal medicine." ”

Hailan said, "Put it down, you can go out." ”

Ruyi shook her head and smiled bitterly: "The smell of this fetal medicine, I was scared as soon as I smelled it." But I can't stop drinking, I just hope that I have a child. ”

Hailan smiled lightly: "I don't like this smell either." It's good, the queen sends a kind heart, and we have to do this drudgery. As she spoke, she poured the decoction into a pot of Baozhu camellia in the hall, as if she didn't care.

Ruyi was shocked: "Sister, what are you doing?" ”

Hailan didn't care: "I don't hope to have a son and a daughter, what to do with drinking this raush, save the bitter tongue." ”

Ruyi was quite surprised, and tried her best to calm down and said: "My sister is not unfavored, why not take advantage of her youth to have a son and a half daughter, and she can be regarded as a lifelong dependent." ”

Hailan smiled indifferently, as if she really didn't care: "Having children is not necessarily a good thing." Sister, just look at the Yi Guiren and Mei Guiren. Mei Guiren gave birth to a child and suffered a catastrophe, and Yi Guiren was pregnant and didn't know who was killed. My sister doesn't have such a good ability to defend herself, so it's better to live a happy life. ”

"But ......"

Hailan smiled and pressed her white index finger against her lips: "No, but, I have a sister to rely on, so I'm not afraid of anything." ”

Before the Yi Guiren moved here, Ruyi and Hailan had cleaned up the Yanxi Palace, and hung more incense packets to repel insects in the East Warm Pavilion where the Yi Guiren were going to live. Because only two rooms were left for Yi Guiren to live in, Ruyi was also quite uneasy. Fortunately, Yigui has a peaceful temperament, and he is not an arrogant person, and seeing that Ruyi lives in Xinuan Pavilion by herself, she gave the east side to her, and she is even more grateful, and only asks to move some personal things to Yanxi Palace, and the rest of the utensils are only left in Jingyang Palace, and you can get them at any time. In order to let Yi Guiren quietly raise the fetus, Ruyi specially told Yonghuang to read every day only in a low voice, not to make noise. Yi Guiren likes Yonghuang's appearance very much, and every time he sees Yonghuang, he says that if there is such a sensible and filial child as him, he will be satisfied. As a result, although the Yanxi Palace is crowded, it is also very lively, and even the emperor must come to visit once a day.

For more than ten days, even Concubine Hui sighed, she was snubbed by the emperor for many days, although she often saw each other, but she did not let her sleep again, she couldn't help but sigh, and asked to move the Yi Guiren to live in her Xianfu Palace, and it was good to see the sky. The emperor just smiled and asked her, "Then if you see a poisonous snake in Xiyue, will you be so frightened that you will scream and run away first, or will you save Yi Guiren first?" ”

Ruyi and Hailan took good care of Yi Guiren's fetus, carefully checked every drink and food, and even asked someone to see the medicine residue before the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor. In this way, I am happy to do it. Ruyi laughed at her: "The imperial doctor you went to, is it reliable?" ”

He nodded again and again, with a slight light in his eyes: "Yes." He was an old acquaintance of the slave's hometown, and after the slave maid entered the palace, he learned that he had become a little doctor in the hospital. Although his official position was humble, the slave and maid believed in his medical skills. ”

Ruyi smiled: "Do you believe in his medical skills, or do you believe in him as a person?" ”

His face turned red, and he only bowed his head and said nothing. Ruyi already understood: "It seems that I don't need to find a mother-in-law for you, you already have a sweetheart." ”

I was ashamed and anxious: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Ruyi said with a smile: "Let him fight in the Tai Hospital, and one day, I will definitely fulfill you." ”

Looking at Ruyi gratefully: "Then the slave maid went to prepare dinner first, and the emperor had already sent an edict saying that he would come over and dine with the little master." ”

However, this night, Ruyi waited until the candle flame was cold, and the emperor did not come, and Sanbao, who went out to investigate, shrank by the door and did not dare to come in to reply.

Ruyi slowly took a chopstick cold honey yam and ate it, the yam was smooth and soft and glutinous, melted in the mouth, and poured honey, which was particularly sweet and moisturized on the tongue, but at the moment when I ate it in my mouth, I only felt that the cold and slippery touch was unpredictable, and even the honey silk revealed a wisp of bitterness. She put down her chopsticks, only to hear the sound of the thin chain on the head of the silver chopsticks, and said: "The emperor will not come, what is the reason, you just say it." ”

Sanbao said timidly: "The emperor came out of the Palace of Heart Cultivation and was about to come to our Yanxi Palace, who knew that when he saw the queen mother kneeling in front of the gate of the mantis and praying for blessings, praying for the second elder brother's health as soon as possible, the emperor knew that the wind and cold of the second elder brother was getting heavier and heavier." The emperor was in a hurry, so he accompanied the queen to Changchun Palace immediately, and then ......"

"And then it stayed there and didn't come out again."

Sanbao nodded and replied, Ruyi scooped up the soup and drank it slowly: "The Mantis Gate is the only way to go from the Heart Cultivation Palace to the Yanxi Palace. The queen mother has the heart to ask for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, why not go to the Baohua Hall and go to the Mantis Gate so reluctantly and far? Of course, the emperor will not leave Changchun Palace. ”

Sanbao's eyes rolled: "Seeking the near and far naturally has the advantage of seeking the near and far, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Ruyi smiled faintly and said to Xinxin: "Go and heat up the food, I don't have to wait hungry." ”

Xin Xin said cautiously: "Little master......"

Ruyi smiled: "The queen is the head of the six palaces, and it is reasonable for the emperor to accompany her." ”

The next morning, when the emperor came, there was already a circle of ink black under his eyes. Ruyi was having breakfast, and when she saw the emperor coming, she hurriedly got up and said, "I didn't expect the emperor to come over early in the morning, and I didn't prepare a delicate meal, so I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

The emperor smiled, "It's okay. Whatever you eat, I will eat. ”

Ruyi personally brought a bowl of porridge with purple ginger over, and served fresh milk tea and sesame sauce baked cakes, with a few refreshing pickles, and said: "The emperor doesn't seem to have slept well last night, so it's better to eat light and refresh." ”

There was a faint worry between the emperor's eyebrows: "Yonglian has been sick for these days, and he has not been well, I am really distressed to see him like that." He held Ruyi's hand: "Ruyi, you didn't see Yonglian's appearance, a small face is so thin that it is out of shape." I looked at him and wanted to shed tears. ”

Ruyi rarely saw the emperor so worried, her heart twitched slightly, and she said: "The emperor can rest assured, the second elder brother will be taken care of by the queen's mother, and he will definitely get better soon." ”

The emperor bowed his head and said: "The queen said that if Yonglian is not good again, he will kneel in the Baohua Hall to pray for blessings." The emperor paused, looked solemn, and immediately motioned for everyone to retreat.

The emperor Zhengse said: "I have decided that as long as Yonglian's illness recovers, I will make him the crown prince and inherit the national throne." ”
