481 Cassia (three watches
"New love and old love are all in the heart, how can you be inferior to them, not to mention what identity they have, what identity do you have?" Lan Qi gave Concubine Yi enough face, and since people came to show favor today, they asked her to go back happily.
Concubine Yi is really an easy person to coax, not to mention that she has always felt that Concubine De can't talk to herself, and she wants to please the emperor on the one hand, but she is worried that her hot face is sticking to her cold buttocks. It's still the same temper as before, and after talking for a long time, I don't know how to pull Lan Qi's back injury, and sighed: "Long live Lord told me last night, this matter has a result, it was said that the people who guarded it were careless, and the wild wolf that was put in was more than one wolf, and after that day, the guards searched everywhere and killed one in the west, which was really scared to death." ”
But then he said mysteriously to Lan Qi: "Long live the Lord said that it is better not to publicize this matter, it seems that the emperor's side is not very rigorous, so tell me not to tell others, Sister Concubine De, you have heard it today." ”
Lan Qi smiled and said nothing, like a mirror in her heart, Xuan Ye arranged the words to tell Concubine Yi, just looking forward to her going around to preach, anyway, the next time Concubine Yi said to others, she would also bring a sentence "I've heard it", and when I went back to tell others, I would not forget to bring this sentence, everyone felt as if they brought this sentence, and it was not considered to be said by themselves.
No wonder the Empress Dowager told her early in the morning that there has never been a secret in the Forbidden City, and now it seems that not only the Changchun Garden in the Forbidden City is like this, but also the whole world.
Soon after that, as Lan Qi expected, the matter of being attacked by a wolf was conclusive, and it had nothing to do with the prince, let alone the eldest brother, anyway, it was a wild wolf that ran in somehow, which made her unlucky to bump into it. Xuan Ye came to explain to Lan Qi in person afterwards, and behind closed doors, the two of them said that outsiders would not know, and Lan Qi would not be like Concubine Yi.
The days passed, in the blink of an eye in April, when the spring flowers bloomed, the prince side Fujin officially entered the palace, the emperor served the queen mother together in the Forbidden City before the tenth day of April, after all, Changchun Garden is not a regular palace, although it is only a side of Fujin, it also marks the growth of the prince, the emperor is not too hasty, all the etiquette is held back to the palace, the concubines and concubines go back to the palace to watch the ceremony, and the princesses of Brother naturally want to go to congratulate the prince.
Only Lan Qi was inconvenient to walk too far in a carriage due to a back injury, and was asked by Xuan Ye to continue to stay in Changchun Garden to recuperate, and they returned to Changchun Garden in late April, this time with more concubines, and the prince also lived in Wuyi Zhai with his side Fujin.
Li Jiashi, who is one year younger than the prince, is the queen mother of many candidates in the past.
However, in the past two years, the family must have been carefully taught, Fang Fujin's demeanor was calm and generous, and there was a noble spirit of everyone's daughter between words and smiles, Lan Qi looked at the arrogance in her eyes, and she must have cared about the position of the crown princess in her heart. And although she is only on the side of Fujin, she is much stronger than many people who can't even enter the door of Wuyi Zhai Yuqing Palace, and she is only one step away from the crown princess, if she works hard, she may not be able to become the queen in the future.
Lan Qi and Fang Fujin talked for only half a moment, there was a lively scene outside, Concubine Yi came with many palace concubines, saying that she couldn't talk to Fang Fujin in the palace, the garden is not bigger than the palace rules, let her relax, and said that the scenery in Changchun Garden is good, she must not be familiar with it when she first arrives, so she wants to go to the garden together, Lan Qi has been able to move around these days, and saw that Fang Fujin is also novel The scenery in the garden, as an elder, it is good to be easy-going, so she agreed.
A group of warblers and swallows came, the women showed their flowers, not inferior to the scenery in this garden, and walked around the scenery, and when they arrived at the door of Chengluxuan, Fang Fujin smiled: "The name of this courtyard is good, I don't know which lady lives, I should go to ask for An." ”
"How many ladies are there in the palace?" Someone in the crowd laughed, and said, "It's Wang Chang who lives, her status is low, and Fang Fujin doesn't need to salute her." ”
While speaking, the door of Chengluxuan opened, and a palace maid walked out, and then saw Wang Changzai coming in a pink spring shirt, and asked all the ladies to be blessed, saying that they didn't know if everyone was far away in front of the door.
Fang Fujin stepped forward and said well, often in the low and low, after all, she is also the emperor's concubine, is the elder of her and the prince, the etiquette can not be ignored, but she didn't know that she and Wang Chang were standing at such a station, and the mothers behind her were sour.
The women knew that Wang Chang was young, and when they saw her and Fang Fujin standing together, although they were a few years apart, they looked really ordinary age, and among them, many of them were already in their thirties or even forty, how could they be calm in their hearts.
"Fang Fujin seems to like Chengluxuan very much, we haven't been here since we entered the garden, why don't you invite us in for a cup of tea?" Someone mentioned this, many people agreed, and they really broke in with the side Fujin, and Wang Changzai was not easy to stop, but when he saw Concubine De and Concubine Yi standing still, he came forward to invite.
A group of people entered the door, regardless of looking around, Wang Changzai did not dare to make a sound, and greeted Lan Qi and Concubine Yi to sit down in the main house, the palace maid held tea, she stopped and blamed: "Niangniang is here, you also serve this tea, go and get the incense piece that the emperor rewarded the day before yesterday." ”
Concubine Yi pretended to be generous, and said nonchalantly: "Sit and leave, just take a sip, just drink this tea, I'm thirsty." This spring has not yet been seen, and when I see that summer is coming, my throat is on fire after walking around. ”
The palace maid hurriedly poured tea for the two maidens, and when it was brought to their eyes, Lan Qi and Concubine Yi both smelled a burnt fragrance, and Concubine Yi was surprised: "You will fry barley tea and drink it now?" It's not hot yet. ”
Wang Changzai bowed his head and said: "The concubine is not used to drinking white water, and she doesn't dare to drink more tea for fear of not being able to sleep at night. ”
Concubine Yi took two sips, after all, she was not used to it, Lan Qi politely took a sip, I don't know where she felt wrong, she took another sip, raised her eyes and saw that Wang Changzai's face was as usual, and Concubine Yi was not unusual, so she quietly put it down.
The women walked around outside, and they didn't see anything unusual about Chengluxuan, but the emperor rested here every once in a while, so he was curious about the difference between the concubine's house, and naturally he was bullying Wang Chang to be weak, and they didn't dare to go to Ruijingxuan or Yonghe Palace to be so presumptuous.
After a commotion and left, everyone walked around elsewhere, and then because Ning Chuntang passed the word to Fang Fujin to go over for dinner, the group dispersed.
Lan Qi returned to Ruijingxuan, she was already tired and had a sore back, so she let Huanchun rub it well for a while, and said tiredly: "I really want them to come to make trouble with me from time to time, I am lazy and don't want to walk so much, but if I don't walk, my legs and feet will be wasted." Then he instructed Huanchun, "Ming'er will drag me out for a walk again." ”
Huanchun said with a smile: "The slave won't let you go out for a walk one day, you said that there are more people in the garden now, and you don't want to meet anyone." ”
The two of them talked with each other, mentioning that this time the emperor brought more concubines back, they all knew that Concubine Rong didn't control it, anyway, they will go back to the palace on the fifteenth day of next month to hold the wedding of Princess Chunxi, and when the time comes, they will be driven back, or Huanchun mentioned it and said: "They are all people brought back by Jiangnan, long live the Lord is very different from Wang Changzai and Yuan promised, the first Yuan promised to be confined and did not come, this time he still did not follow." ”
Lan Qi somehow remembered the tea she drank in Chengluxuan today, and called Yukui to ask her if Ruijingxuan had fried barley tea, Yukui said that it was not hot yet, who would drink this, but when she saw that the master wanted it, she said to look for it. After going out for a while before coming back, Lan Qi asked her to make a pot to drink, and sure enough, it had the same burnt aroma as the one she drank in Chengluxuan, but there was a subtle difference in the entrance, although it had been more than ten years of memory, but when Lan Qi was a girl at home, everyone in the family drank barley tea in the summer to relieve the heat, even if she was a concubine, she was still very familiar with the taste of barley tea.
Yukui didn't know what the master was going to do, and after drinking the barley tea, she asked her if she had a cassia, and she went to the imperial doctor to find it for the master, and also relayed the words of the imperial doctor: "Cassia is too cold, hurts the uterus, and the mother should be cautious when taking it." ”
But after brewing tea, Yukui and Huanchun finally understood the master's intentions, but they didn't expect that the tea brewed by Cassia was not only no different from barley tea in color, but also almost the same aroma and taste.
Lan Qi said in a deep voice: "In the old years, the Empress Dowager ate a lot, and the imperial doctor sent cassia tea to guide catharsis, I don't know if this is barley tea, only to know the difference, the imperial doctor also told me not to take it casually, cassia is cold, and it hurts the uterus the most." ”
Huanchun asked, "But why does Niangniang remember it now?" ”
"Drinking tea in Chengluxuan today, I feel that the taste is wrong, Wang Chang is saying that she drinks tea every day is this sip, now that I think about it, she should not drink barley tea, but the tea brewed by Cassia." Lan Qi shook her head and sighed, "No wonder she is so favored, the Internal Affairs Office often has records, but there has been no movement on the heirs." ”
Huanchun and Yukui were stunned, and Yukui asked, "Doesn't Wang Changzai understand?" ”
Lan Qi said: "She said that it was the wheat tea that Yuan promised to give her at the earliest, and then it was Yuan who promised to send it to her often, and I don't understand whether it was true or false, but she has no good news, it is indeed a fact." ”
Huan Chun said softly: "What are you going to do, do you want to tell Wang Changzai?" ”
Lan Qi frowned, obviously unable to make up her mind for a while, shook her head and said, "Tell her that their sisters will definitely turn against each other, but it's not good to go on like this in the long run." ”
Yu Kui muttered, "It's good that Wang Chang doesn't give birth." ”
