Ling Yunche's injuries were recuperated for three or five days, and he was urged to be escorted to the Mulan paddock. The Mulan Enclosure was originally a royal forest garden, with a thousand miles of pine forest in it, which was the annual hunting place of the royal family. But in addition to the excitement of this year, I usually only have to be with the wild beast Songfeng, not to mention the punishment of hard labor, which not only suffers, but also ruins the future.

Ruyi naturally couldn't send it, so she had to order Rong Pei to pack up a few bottles of gold sore medicine for him to apply on the road, and then broke off a branch of soapberry to send it, and sent it with one sentence: I don't have to hate this body for a long time, when will I forget the camp?

Rong Pei sighed: "Niangniang is using this object to remind Lord Ling, hoping that he will be carefree. ”

Ruyi said: "Sapinberry is resistant to wind and drought, and it is also resistant to shade and cold. This palace hopes that no matter where Ling Guards are, they can endure the hardships of the moment and plot a way back. Then tell him that if he is not dignified, if he wants to come back, he must be dignified and decent. ”

Rong Pei went to see him off as he said, and when he came back, he only said: "Lord Ling is gone, there is only one sentence, he knows what Niangniang instructs, please be careful with Concubine Ling." ”

Ruyi's smile suddenly condensed at the corner of her mouth, and she said coldly: "Sure enough, it's her!" ”

However, Ruyi didn't make any moves for a while, and Concubine Ling was still loved by thousands of people, accompanying the king. And the cold one is just Ruyi's heart that has always been on guard, and it is getting a little colder.

After crossing Jiangning in April, the royal car went north along the canal, from the land to Tai'an, and then to Taishan Yue Temple to worship incense. At the beginning of May, the four parties returned to the palace.

The first thing she did after returning to Beijing was to visit Yihuan in Chuxiu Palace. At that time, Hailan also took Yongqi to talk with Yihuan. Hailan has always been dressed simply, with seventy percent of the new lotus silk wearing a dark flower flowing cloud pattern silver yarn shirt, and the cloud temples are slightly decorated with some hexagonal blue and silver beads, only the double-tailed jade phoenix hairpin on the side temples to show the respect of the concubine. Hailan's actions do have a bit of a waterfront breeze posture, which is moving, but it is never graceful.

In May, the curtains in the temple hung low, and the layers were like shadow veils, covering the temple darkly. Yi Huan was wearing a pink gauze embroidered begonia spring sleep pattern robe, leaning on the bed obliquely, caressing Yongqi's hand lovingly, and instructing something. Jiang Youbin knelt on one side and asked for Yihuan's pulse.

Seeing Ruyi coming, Yi Huan was overjoyed, and then he was ashamed, turned his back, and sobbed in a low voice: "The concubine is like this today, how dare you let the queen and the emperor see it again." ”

Ruyi smiled and comforted: "The emperor is still busy dealing with political affairs in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and it was the palace that came to see you first." We're all women, so why should you care about that. ”

Hailan reluctantly smiled: "These days, Concubine Shu's sister is only willing to see her concubines. She looked around, "Even the hall is so dark and dreary, and not a single light will let in." ”

Ruyi nodded knowingly and hugged Yongqi: "Yongqi has been sick these days, and her face has become smaller, so ask the emperor to take a good look." ”

Hailan said distressedly: "No, it's always intermittent." Fortunately, more than 20 days ago, Imperial Doctor Jiang finally rushed back, and he was cured. ”

Ruyi frowned: "I don't know why?" ”

Hailan shook her head: "The child's illness is that he kicked the quilt or something at night and got cold, and the nurses didn't pay attention to it for a while." ”

Ruyi groaned: "Then these nurses can't be used, so they will be sent out immediately." ”

Hailan nodded slightly: "You have to ask carefully before you send out, don't send someone to harm our Yongqi." She was puzzled, "But if it's really harmful to Yongqi, it's so harmful that it's not on the point, it's just that the concubine is worried and can't be separated." ”

Jiang Youbin finished asking for the pulse, and Ruyi asked, "Doesn't it matter?" ”

Jiang Youbin said gently: "Even if it is hair loss, nothing else will be hindered." ”

Yi Huan relieved himself, and finally turned sideways. The hair on her forehead had fallen out a lot, and her hairline had grown taller and taller, except for the bun on her head that was still unusually full and black. Xu felt that his forehead was too high and wide to look good, so he cut a lot of bangs down. But her hair fell thinly and yellowed like withered grass, covering the front and the back, and she looked more and more like a cover. The woman has always been beautiful with "lightly sweeping the moth eyebrows towards the painter, concentric Chinese buns and green silk", and the lack of hair will inevitably make her appearance damaged.

Ruyi hurriedly said: "The bun is still heavy, but after Dr. Jiang has conditioned it, he will see better?" ”

Yi Huan said sadly: "The bun is adulterated with wigs, if it is scattered, most of the concubine's own hair has fallen out, and she can't look at it at all." No amount of black sesame seeds and walnuts I ate had any effect at all. ”

In terms of appearance, Yi Huan is the leader of the concubines in the palace, and Jin Yuyan can be regarded as a flower, one cold and one charming, just like the white lotus and red myrtle. It's just that Yihuan's temperament is different from Yuyan's love for beauty, she has a beauty as clear as the first quarter moon, but she never thinks she is beautiful. But a woman is a woman after all, no matter how she neglects her appearance, now that the green silk is withering, it is really sad. Ruyi had to comfort: "You are pregnant with a child now, and you also have weak kidney qi." After giving birth to a child, you can take care of it during the confinement period, and you will be able to get better. She caressed Yi Huan's bulging belly with love and envy, and asked, "Are the children all right?" ”

Yi Huan burst into tears and laughed, and said with relief: "Fortunately, everything is fine with the child." ”

Hailan hugged Yongqi and sighed: "As long as the child is good." What if a mother is a little more wronged? Flowers are not red for a hundred days, youth and beauty are all empty after all, and having a child is really important. ”

Yi Huan was filled with deep joy: "Yes, this is my child with the emperor." That's nice. ”

Hailan's words are heartfelt, and Yihuan is also sincerely happy. Ruyi was afraid of provoking each other's sadness, so she asked: "You don't like to go out, and you don't like to see people, it's not good for yourself and your children to be bored like this." What are you doing these days? ”

A little shy smile flashed on Yi Huan's face, as if Ren Chunfeng had blown the pink of the thousand-petal phoenix flower outside the hall onto her slightly pale cheeks. She beckoned, motioned to He Xi to take the thick pile of paper on the pear blossom wood desk, handed it to Ruyi, and said: "The queen mother, look, the concubine has copied all the imperial poems written by the emperor since childhood, and if there is a word that is not neat, it will be discarded, leaving only these copied best." The concubine thought about it, and she wanted to use these hand-copied imperial poems to make a poetry collection, and she didn't have to flatter and flatter her outside to compile a poetry collection, just flip through it yourself, isn't it good? ”

Hailan smiled: "It's still Concubine Shu's sister who has a heart, the emperor has always been good at poetry, but we haven't come up with such a wonderful thing." ”

Ruyi smiled: "If everyone thinks of it, it is nothing unusual." This kind of heart is rare! When you see the emperor, the palace must tell the emperor about this wonderful thing. ”

Yi Huan blushed, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, the matter is only half done." It's not too late to tell the emperor when it's all right. ”

When she came out of Yihuan Palace, Hailan looked at the clear silk in the courtyard, and the bright and uncertain halo fell through the large splendid phoenix flowers, half smiling and half sighing: "Sister Shu is really an infatuated person. ”

Ruyi was reminded of the time when she first married the emperor, and that day was the peach and bright green moistened by the spring rain, such as this large area of gorgeous phoenix flowers, so beautiful that people couldn't believe it. It turns out that I have bloomed like this.

It is true that after the seal, the emperor treated her well, with great grace and courtesy. But the favor and courtesy are different from the time when the newlywed Yan'er was born. Like the red dyed by a paintbrush, no matter how bright it is, it is not vivid.

Ruyi smiled, and then she was a little melancholy: "Infatuation also has the benefit of infatuation, and a little satisfaction is so happy." ”

Hailan thought so: "Yes." Niangniang saw that we were pregnant with children one by one, all for the sake of honor and our own future, only Concubine Shu, she was different from us. looked at Leng Leng, but his heart for the emperor was so hot. ”

Ruyi said: "That's fine. Otherwise, what is the fun of living only for the camp? ”

Hailan sighed: "I hope Concubine Shu is blessed, don't be too obsessed." People, if you are too infatuated, you will be sad. ”

As he spoke, they walked down the long street. After being outside for a long time, I suddenly walked on the long corridor in the palace, looking at the blue sky separated by a high red wall, and I felt extremely breathless, as if I was living in a cage. But in this cage, there are people who are happy after all.

Ruyi thought so, but saw a flash of skirt at the corner in front of her, which seemed to be the figure of Concubine Mei, but no palace maid followed. Ruyi said: "Hailan, is this palace dazzled, is it Concubine Mei who passed in front of you?" How sneaky? ”

Hailan smiled and said: "The women in the palace live like parrots, like mice, like goldfish, which one is not sneaky when she moves her mind?" She whispered, "Doesn't the queen mother?" Concubine Mei's body is broken. ”

Ruyi remembered that when she was in Hangzhou, she tried her best to please the emperor with Qing Concubine, but in the end she was snubbed, and she couldn't match the love of Concubine Ling and Qing Concubine. Moreover, her face was so bad that she became suspicious when she thought about it. Ruyi asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hailan sighed: "The concubine also found out by accident when she took medicine. Xu was bad after giving birth to the dead child that year, Concubine Mei couldn't have her own children all these years, listening to the palace people who served her, there was often no monthly letter for most of the year, and it was a month or two, and her body was damaged. ”

Ruyi was shocked: "There is such a thing? Jiang Youbin never mentioned it to the palace? ”

Hailan waved her hand, and also moved her heart of compassion: "What is there to mention about this? A woman's body will go bad if she can't stand it. It's also a common thing. What's more, she has not been as favored as before over the years, and when she is old, she has no children, let alone any family background, so she stays up like this. ”

Ruyi thought of Concubine Mei's life experience and the child who passed away after only one look, and her heart seemed to be beaten by the autumn wind, rustling and sour. She wanted to say something, her lips opened slightly, and she only sighed coldly.
