Qingmei is also a big palace maid with a head and a face now, and she didn't do the work of pulping laundry and mattress sheets, it turns out that there are many people in Qingbi Hall in Jinfeng Garden who want to tie up with her. Fang Shanggong fell ill as soon as he came, and none of these people complained. I'm not afraid that I have nothing to do, but I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to show my face. Qingmei came out with her clothes in her arms, and two people over there stepped forward to take over the work, and she also promised that these clothes would be washed and ironed in the morning, and there would be no delay.

Qingmei said thank you generously, she knew what these people were thinking, and when she was in the palace, she also encountered a lot of such a knot, but it was just to ask her to give her a hand or two.

Hu Rong came over with another food box, Qingmei was wiping her hands after washing her hands, and turned her head to ask him, "What is this?" ”

"Let the dining room boil some porridge for Fang Shanggong, the rice has been boiled, and the drink is fragrant and thick." Hu Rong asked her, "Why aren't you in the house?" ”

"I just took out my clothes and handed them over to be washed." Qingmei said that she was about to take the food box: "Then I'll bring it in, Fang Shanggong didn't eat anything this day." ”

Hu Rong's hand holding the food box shrank back: "You mean, there is Fang Shanggong and Li in the house at this time?" ”

Qingmei nodded: "Yes." ”

Do you still need to ask about obvious things?

Hu Rong thought for a while: "Let's go in after a cup of tea." ”

To be honest, he was still thinking about whether he could pick a crack in the window and listen to a corner. Hu Rong always felt that Li Zhiling came to Qingbi Hall with him without saying a word, not only to sell the face of the master, but he heard that the sick person came from Fang Shanggong.

Eighty percent of these two people are old acquaintances.

But since it is an old acquaintance, why didn't Li Zhiling say a few more words to Fang Shanggong when he was in and out of Yong'an Palace before?

It doesn't look like an old friend.

Could it be that these two were old lovers?

Hu Rong's goosebumps came out. It's not that the two don't match, but if you think about it, they're still very compatible. Fang Shanggong is not ugly to look at now, and he must have been a beauty when he was young. Li signed the order, and now it seems that he is still elegant and elegant, and his demeanor is graceful, not at all like a doctor, and some people believe that he is a scholar.

Hu Rong's thought of eavesdropping was only fleeting, Fang Shanggong was more shrewd and sophisticated than him, don't eavesdrop but cause trouble. Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much in this house. As long as he can be sure that these two people have no bad intentions towards their masters, as for whether they have kindness, hatred or old feelings in the past, it is none of his business.

Qingmei looked at Hu Rong, and then turned her head to look at the window. Naturally, she couldn't see anything clearly.

Hu Rong knew she didn't understand. Although they are about the same age, Qingmei is like a child compared to Qinghe.

Looking at Qinghe, Hu Rong felt like he had seen Fang Shang Palace thirty years later. Of course, he admired people like Qinghe and Fang Shanggong, but he didn't want to deal with such people all the time.

It's different with Qingmei, Qingmei writes everything on her face, which is very worry-free.

Hu Rong took out a thick paper bag from his sleeve and gave it to her.

Qingmei asked in surprise, "What is this?" ”

"I took it from the dining room."

The green plum is opened, and I can't see it clearly through the light through the window screen, but I can smell the sweet aroma.

"Eat." Hu Rong urged her: "They only made it when I went, and it was the most crispy and fragrant at this time." ”

Qingmei took one and stuffed it into her mouth, and stuffed one for Hu Rong while chewing.

"Delicious, right?" Hu Rong asked a little vaguely: "The craftsmanship of making dim sum in the small dining room here is really good." ”

Qingmei whispered: "They want to sell you well, they must have used all their skills." Don't promise them anything. ”

"I know in my heart that I can be coaxed with such a little benefit?"

Hu Rong swallowed the dim sum, wiped his mouth twice, and made sure that there was no dim sum residue left: "You can also go and rest for a while, I'll send the porridge in." You can keep the dim sum, and you can eat porridge tomorrow morning. ”

When he entered the room, Li ordered him to sit on a chair in front of the bed by the screen, four or five feet away from the bed. Fang Shanggong sat on the head of the bed, and Hu Rong said first through the screen: "The servant brought the porridge." ”

Then he walked around the screen, took out the porridge and brought it to Fang Shanggong with both hands, and also took out two plates of side dishes. The dining room was overdone, and he wanted to put smoked fish and goose breast, and Hu Rong wanted to make them laugh. Where can people who have just woken up with a fever eat these things? He instructed the people in the dining room to bring a small plate of sesame oil mixed with pickles and pickled cabbage, and sure enough, Fang Shanggong ate a few bites.

Xie Ning didn't sleep well this night, mostly because she changed to a new place, the second prince made trouble twice, and Princess Yuyao also tossed once, she got up late in the morning, while washing her face, she asked in the first sentence: "How is Fang Shang Palace?" ”

Qinghe handed her a scarf: "The fever has subsided, and Li ordered that it is best to rest for two more days." ”

"Let her rest for a few more days, in fact, she shouldn't be allowed to come this time, after all, the road is far away and the weather is hot."

Qinghe combed her hair for her and said with a smile: "That's not possible, our Fang Shanggong likes the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao, and he doesn't feel at ease with us, as if she will be hungry if she doesn't come with the two little masters." Do you think it's weird? Obviously, the second prince was born to her. ”

"The second prince is so strong, he doesn't have to worry about eating and sleeping." Xie Ning understood Fang Shanggong. Because her aunt was like this before, her cousins and cousins were not as favored as her, because her aunt always felt that her parents were dead, and they needed to take care of her more than her cousins and cousins.

Fang Shanggong probably thought the same way, right? The second prince has everything and lacks nothing. But the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao are frail and sickly in comparison, and the other is depressed, so they naturally have to be taken care of more carefully.

Xie Ning's hand on the earring paused, as if something was not quite right.

The eldest prince had already freshened up, quietly walked in with the door frame, and stood by the screen to watch Xie Ning make up.

Xie Ning saw him from the bronze mirror, and smiled and beckoned to the eldest prince in the mirror: "Ying Yan is awake?" Come here. ”

The eldest prince pursed his lips and smiled and walked over.

"I'm up late again today." Xie Ning didn't want to set a bad example for the eldest prince: "In the future, you have to go to bed early." How did you sleep last night? ”

"The wind is loud."

"There are bamboo forests in front and behind here, and the wind is naturally louder than elsewhere." Shainin pointed to the open box and asked, "Can you help me see which one to wear?" ”

The eldest prince carefully picked in the box, found a five-petal peach blossom bead inlaid with pink water jade and handed it to her.

"This?"

The eldest prince nodded.

Shainin put this branch on.

"Where's my sister?"

Xie Ning pointed back, the eldest prince took a look, and saw through the lattice of the fan that Princess Yuyao was still asleep and did not get up.

A table was set for breakfast, and Xie Ning sat down and didn't rush to move his chopsticks, but first saw the letter box placed on the side.

"What is this?"

"Yes, please see the excerpt." Because Fang Shanggong was ill, Qinghe sorted out these by himself, and he knew who had handed the fold at this time.

"The two princesses are here, Princess Mingshou also has a garden here, very close to Jinfeng Garden, called Changchun Garden, Zhang Juma is also here this time. Princess Mingwei didn't come with Qiao Yuma this time, she brought two children here, and she lived in Lan Huixuan in our garden. ”

The nurse brought the freshly washed Princess Yuyao and sat down at the table, serving a bowl of porridge for her. Xie Ning whispered, "Which one does Yu Yao want to eat?" ”

Princess Yuyao looked at a plate of golden steamed buns, and the nurse hurriedly picked one up for her and put it in front of her.

Xie Ning saw that Princess Yuyao could already eat without being fed by others, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Although Qinghe didn't say it explicitly just now, Xie Ning also heard it, Princess Mingshou can have her own garden here, but Princess Mingwei doesn't have this treatment, so she can only live in the place before she leaves the pavilion with a cheeky face. Qiao did not follow, is it because he is inconvenient to follow?

"Who else?"

Qinghe reported a list of names, some of which Xie Ning knew and some of whom did not. In the end, Qinghe hesitated: "There are also Xie Liu and his two daughters." ”

Shainin was taken aback: "Why are they here?" ”

Shainin thought that they had already left the capital and returned to the countryside.

Qinghe shook her head, she didn't say that Xie Liu's mother and daughter had already rented a house in Beijing, and they were still talking about their daughter's relatives, it seemed that they were planning to take root in the capital, and they didn't plan to return to their hometowns. And when he was in the palace before, Xie Liu handed over several posts to ask him to come into the palace to speak, including when the second prince was at the full moon banquet, he also gave a gift. However, because the emperor had instructed her not to bother with the idlers and chores that the master didn't like to see, these posts failed to reach Xie Ning's eyes.

This time, the emperor made a big move out of the palace, and the mother and daughter of the Xie family followed after him. Originally, they couldn't find a place to stay here, except for the royal and clan gardens, there were some high-ranking officials and noble courtyards, and there were no ordinary homes and inns. But Hu Rong got the news that the mother and daughter of the Xie family somehow talked to Princess Mingshou and were taken in by Princess Mingshou.

If Princess Mingwei did this, Qinghe would think that Princess Mingwei was here to show favor to her master and reduce trouble for her master. But Princess Mingshou, who has never met and has no friendship, did this, and Qinghe always felt that this matter had an inexplicable and strange smell.

So now I have to report this matter to my master.

"Who did Princess Mingshou's posts go to?"

"There are a lot of people, almost all the masters who came back to escape the summer have continued to post, and I heard that even Concubine Xian didn't miss it."

Qinghe also inquired, when the emperor came to Jinfeng Garden a few years ago, because there was no queen, Concubine Shu was very showy, invited people to enjoy the flowers today, and invited people to listen to the opera and music tomorrow. Now that there is no concubine, the virtuous concubine can't be counted, and there are almost no consuls in the harem. Princess Mingshou is now inviting guests with such fanfare, who knows what she is thinking?

Qinghe had never seen Princess Mingshou, and she couldn't guess her personality preferences. In Qinghe's opinion, no matter how noble the princess is, no matter how noble the princess is, she is no longer a person in this palace, does she still want to suppress everyone in the palace?
