Chapter 85: Dark Fragrance and Shadow

Three feet of snow falls in the dark night, and the morning shines on the fragrance of the plum garden.

The shadow should be sunny, and the smoke locks the spring willows full of light.

In Chuxiu Palace, the female official arranged a bed for Concubine De, and coldly dropped a sentence: "Without the Holy Lord's edict, you are not allowed to walk out of Chuxiu Palace for half a step" and left.

The show girls saw that the new show girls had delicate facial features and dignified manners, so they came around and chattered about this and that, and Concubine De, who was full of grievances and had nowhere to tell, wanted to cry without tears. Just because of the trouble caused by his mouth, where is he in the mood to say more at this time, so he only said: "Please forgive me, sisters!" Sister, I'm not feeling well today, so please go back! After saying that, he lay down facing the wall.

"What's the big deal, pretend to be high!"

"It doesn't look like a newcomer, maybe you still committed something and got demoted!"

"That's it, this has just been drafted, we haven't been divided yet, we won't choose again, and I haven't seen a draft where only one person is selected, it's definitely degraded!"

"Yes, yes, otherwise the female official wouldn't have said that she was not allowed to leave the palace without the Holy Lord's edict."

“。。。。” The show girls started to talk, and when they saw that they were bored, they all looked at Concubine De a few times and dispersed.

Concubine De went to the title, and now she can only be called Wu, and when everyone is gone, the tears that she can endure dare to gush out, and she is like a bead with a broken thread and drills straight into the pillow, how unjust this should be! was named Concubine De at the beginning, but also because the emperor saw that he was virtuous and virtuous, and now he was harmed by Han Zhaoyi and returned to the status of a show girl, Wu clearly knew that maybe he would not want to be favored by the emperor again in this life.

To be honest, I really didn't participate in this matter, I regret that I shouldn't have done it at the beginning, if I stopped it in time or reported it to the emperor, what would the outcome be?

On the second day, it was time for breakfast, and the other show girls had already gotten up to freshen up and dress up, ready to gather for morning exercises. A show girl named Shuying in the team, since the Wu family was sent to Chuxiu Palace yesterday, Shuying noticed her difference, it seems that she should be very cultivated, although she is plainly dressed but dignified, and her walking appearance is very different from these show girls who have just entered the palace, such a person must have another secret when she comes to Chuxiu Palace.

Early in the morning, I noticed that Wu Xiunu hadn't gotten up yet, and when I saw that the female official hadn't come yet, Shuying lightly avoided the eyes of the showgirls, and quietly came to Wu's bed, and when she saw her eyes closed, she gently pushed her down, and whispered in her ear to let her get up.

Wu Xiunu slowly opened her eyes and wanted to sit up, but she felt weak all over her body, Shuying helped to help Wu up, but as soon as she let go of Wu, she fell down again, and she closed her eyes and shouted dizziness. Shuying hurriedly asked the palace maid to pass on the imperial doctor, saying that a show girl was sick.

The imperial doctor just glanced at it and said that it was just a cold, and it was no big deal, just take care of it. Other people didn't pay attention to it, Wu's lay down for three days, no one knew anyone in Chuxiu Palace, and no one took care of it, so he didn't eat or drink for three days, so only Shuying occasionally came to take a look and feed some water to drink.

The snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and the shadow of the sun appeared in the sky. Wu also seemed to be extraordinarily energetic, and he was able to sit up by himself. Shuying hurriedly brought a plate of porridge: "Sister, are you better?" I didn't eat or drink for three days in a row, how could I stand it, so quickly ask my sister to feed you some porridge to drink. ”

Wu nodded, took a sip of the porridge fed by Shuying, and said softly: "My sister is really a good person, although I can't get out of bed these days, my brain is still clear, I know that you have always taken care of me, thank you!" Sister, what's your name? ”

"Sister, my name is Shuying. In this harem, the sisters are their own family members and should take care of each other. Shuying replied while feeding Wu porridge.

"What about the others, why are you here alone?" Wu looked around the room and saw no one else.

"The other sisters went to learn the palace rules and etiquette after breakfast, and I saw that my sister was sick and no one took care of her, so I asked the female official for leave to take care of my sister here." A pair of clear eyes conveyed the long-lost warmth to the Wu family.

"Sister, do you know who I am and why I am here?" Wu was afraid that it would affect Shuying, so he said with some worry.

Shuying shook her head with big innocent eyes and said, "I really don't know this, no one has ever talked about it." ”

"Sister advises you to stay away from me, I am a sinner, I have been demoted to this, don't bother my sister." Wu couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

"Why did my sister say this? Can I tell my sister what happened? Don't be sad, okay? Shuying looked at Wu suspiciously and distressedly.

Wu Shi blocked Shuying's hand to feed the porridge and said, "Sister Shuying, don't feed it, I can't eat it, just take advantage of no one, sister will talk to you well." In the harem, it is rare to meet a simple and kind person like you. The harem has always been full of intrigues, and you must learn to protect yourself. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. ”

Shuying helped Wu adjust his sitting posture and rolled up the quilt and put it on his back. Wu felt much more comfortable, so he continued: "Sister, I am from here, I was originally named Concubine De, I have always been kind and humble, and I have no quarrel with others, I don't want to end up like this... Wu couldn't help but tears rippled as he recounted what had happened a few days ago.

"Why didn't my sister explain it to the emperor? This matter should be all Han Zhaoyi's fault, my sister is just a listener! Shuying helped Wu wipe away her tears.

"The emperor understands, sister, I can figure it out, I am indeed wrong, the fault is that when Han Zhaoyi came up with this idea, he should stop it in time and prevent the rumors from spreading. It should also be reported to the queen in a timely manner. Let people spread and play with the queen's rights and wrongs everywhere in the palace, but I, who is a sister, did not take responsibility for it. I have no complaints about being relegated here, and I have no regrets about dying to meet such a good sister as you. ”

"Sister, don't say frustrating words, you will get better soon, the emperor is just angry for a while, and after a while, when the emperor is angry, he will naturally take my sister back." Shuying tried his best to comfort the Wu family.

Time flies so fast, it's almost noon in a blink of an eye, and the other show girls who have learned the rules of the palace have also come back one after another, and Wu asked Shuying to have lunch with them and come back.

"That sister will come to talk to her after lunch." The smiling face as bright as the sun made Wu feel particularly comfortable.

After a while, Shuying really finished eating and returned to Wu's couch to ask for warmth.

"Sister, the plum blossoms in the plum garden are in full bloom recently, sister, I have loved plum blossoms since I was a child, but unfortunately I am sick and can't go out, can you help me pick some?"

"Okay, it just so happens that I also like plum blossoms very much, I'll go now, sister, you wait!" Seeing that the Wu family was in good spirits, Shuying happily left Chuxiu Palace.

Since dealing with the two people who tell right and wrong, the emperor has also thought about it carefully, Yan'er has never forgotten Xiao Yixuan, but she has never shown it in front of herself, which shows that she cares about herself, and not forgetting it can only prove that she is a person who values love and righteousness, what is the crime of such a person? I have to cherish it more.

In the Yaoguang Palace, Murong Ningyan, who had just vomited, suddenly said that she wanted to eat braised pork, which surprised the saint and the palace maids who served her. Since entering the palace, Murong Ningyan has not been a vegetarian but has never eaten meat, why did he suddenly want to eat meat?

In addition, since she was pregnant, Murong Ningyan vomited badly every day, and she looked at the person who had lost a lot of weight, and she was still worried that the fetal nutrition in her womb could not keep up, and she suddenly wanted to eat meat today, which is a good thing. The emperor hurriedly sent someone to order the imperial dining room to make meat, and at the same time passed on the imperial doctor, who was sure that everything was normal after the diagnosis. It is very normal for pregnant people to suddenly change their eating habits, and they can eat whatever they want, and the emperor is relieved.

A bowl of yellow and fragrant, oily braised pork was presented in front of Murong Ningyan, which made everyone present look tired, but Murong Ningyan was like a person who had been hungry for a long time and finally got food. It smells so good! ”

The appearance of eating that has never been seen before made everyone present dumbfounded, but the doctor said that this is a normal manifestation of pregnant women. Seeing that Murong Ningyan hadn't stopped his chopsticks after eating a small half bowl of meat, the emperor really couldn't stand it, so he asked Red Sleeves to make a pot of oolong tea.

"Yan'er, come over and drink some hot tea, shall we eat it later?" The emperor beckoned to Murong Ningyan by the fire, Murong Ningyan looked at the meat in the bowl with intent, and put another piece into his mouth, smashing his mouth, then reluctantly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked over to sit beside the emperor.

The emperor helped Murong Ningyan carefully wipe the oil that remained on his mouth, and then handed her a cup of hot tea: "Drink it slowly, be careful of scalding!" Murong Ningyan picked up the tea handed over by the emperor and drank it slowly.

"The weather is very good today, and there is no wind, Yan'er drank tea and accompanied me to enjoy the plums, okay?" The emperor tilted his head to look at Murong Ningyan, and thought: Yan'er is acting more and more like a child, frank and cute, I have never seen her serve the queen's shelf in front of anyone, who doesn't like such a person?

Murong Ningyan nodded softly to the emperor: "The curtain is cold and cold, and the fragrant plums in the snow are early to report spring." Your Majesty, the plum blossoms are blooming just right, and spring has quietly arrived. The concubines are very happy to accompany His Majesty to go on the snow to find plums. ”

Even the palace ladies know that the emperor wants to enjoy the plum, but when he saw that the queen suddenly ate so much meat, he was worried about indigestion and proposed to enjoy the plum, and the emperor was really careful.

In this season, the lotus pond should have been just a pool of clear water, walking from the white marble bridge, with the breeze, it is already a dark fragrance floating, but the water surface under the bridge is covered with a thick layer of petals, which is slowly drifting downstream with the wind, and the green water is also looming. You can see the plum garden in front, the plum branches by the pond are reflected in the green water, there is a quiet and fragrant style, it is "the shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon." ”

In the huge plum garden, covered with snow, there are dots of dark or light red, and the white and red are beautiful. The combination of snow and plum can really be said to have their own merits, and complement each other, the plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses a piece of plum fragrance.

The sun shines on the branches, and some snowflakes begin to melt, forming water droplets hanging on the branches, as if they are reluctant to leave the flowers and seem to be dripping, which is extremely crystal clear.
