An Qin kept her eyes open for a long time, and when she got to the back, she didn't know if she was used to Lin Ei's temperature, or Lin Ei was warmed by her, and fell asleep again when sleepiness hit her again.

When I woke up again, my stomach was growling. An Qin touched his side, Lin Rong was gone, and even his body temperature was cold, presumably he had been away for a long time.

I can't tell what mood it is, she called Yinxin, but she didn't see her come in for a long time. An Qin wanted to lie for a while, but the tip of her nose moved, but she smelled the aroma of the food, so she frowned and stood up. And when her eyes fell on the desk and saw Lin Rong sitting on the main seat, Qiong Xin and the two people covered their mouths and laughed on the side, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, and shouted coquettishly: "Your Majesty didn't leave, why didn't you wake me up, and you all watched me laugh on the side one by one?" ”

"I'm not going to let them disturb you." Lin Yi stretched out his hand and clicked on the desk, and smiled: "Don't come yet?" I can hear your stomach pounding. ”

An Qin was ashamed and annoyed, was served by the butterfly and put on his clothes, walked over with a red face, and when he sat down, he saw that he was frowning, and softened his voice: "Your Majesty has something to worry about?" Why is the concubine frowning like this. ”

As she spoke, she put her finger on his brow, and then slowly smoothed the gloom.

Lin Yi was immersed in her soft voice, the fragrance of unknown flowers in her breath, and she only felt that her troubles in the previous dynasty flashed. He was about to speak, but he saw that her fingers were a little red and swollen, her arms were smooth and creamy, and her complexion was already fair, so it was even more shocking to call that red, and he couldn't help but be stunned, grabbed her hand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

An Qin looked at him helplessly and slightly embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to speak, and his eyes flashed: "It's just that I burned my hands when I was making pastries, and I forgot to apply medicine, so it's not in the way." ”

Making pastries? She never cooks, where will she make pastries. Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking of the winter banquet held by Concubine Shu before, everything was already clear.

He couldn't help but get bored, the harem was stirred up by Zhuang Wanli, he felt irritable wherever he went, and finally found a quiet place...... Thinking of this, Lin Rong narrowed her eyes and glanced at An Qin, thinking that she deliberately showed her hand to him, was she thinking that she would be in charge of her?

So Lin Rong pretended not to know and stroked her hand, said to the eunuch next to him, asked him to get the ointment, and then said: "Then be careful next time, such a beautiful hand should not be splashed with oil, and next time this kind of thing will be sent to do it." ”

An Qin smiled, nodded obediently listening to his words, but Qiong Xin on the side couldn't stand it, and muttered in a low voice, "Niang Niang said it lightly, and I don't want to think about what they do to you", An Qin's face changed slightly, glanced at her, and whispered: "Enough, Qiong Xin." ”

Qiong's heart was stopped, and the look in her eyes was still a little aggrieved. Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just stood aside, like a stone sculpture.

"The emperor feels so sorry for his concubines, which has flattered the concubines." An Qin didn't care about her, she just didn't know Lin Ei's deep meaning, and when she said this, there were tears in her eyes. She leaned softly and leaned between his legs, and as soon as Lin Rong lowered her head, she could see the plum blossom between her eyebrows.

The plum blossom is full of vitality and can stand proudly in the cold snow, and naturally it can bloom in her forehead.

Lin Ei's hand moved to her forehead, with a sporadic smile: "I thought that it would be good to just cover the words you branded when you were sinned, but I never thought that it would be so successful, maybe it should have grown here." ”

An Qin buried her head shyly, but she sneered in her heart: Success? What if she didn't succeed in applying medicine in those days?

She was terrified day after day, and every night when she had a high fever and couldn't hold it anymore, she always thought: If she fell here, wouldn't it be in vain? Only then did he barely brace himself and hold on.

In his mouth, it was like a great grace!

Seeing that she was silent, the eunuch who had ordered her before had already taken the plaster back, so he reached out and took the box of plaster, first dug a spoonful and warmed it in his hand, and then rubbed it on her kiss.

An Qin didn't expect this, when he touched it, his fingertips suddenly went to his whole body like a surge of electricity, his body trembled slightly, he was extremely numb, and his heart was faint with an indescribable taste, but he couldn't say what the reason was.

She didn't think about it at all, she only stared at the emperor's face with emotion, and when she was discovered, she lowered her eyes slightly, and added: "The emperor treats the concubines so well, no wonder the concubines were taken in their hearts when they first saw the emperor." ”

"Is your mouth smeared with honey?" Lin Rong was amused by this remark and raised her eyebrows, hugged her in her arms, and mentioned a few words, telling her to abide by her duties in the harem, and even promised: "If you continue to be like this in the future, I will naturally always treat you like this." ”

An Qin didn't know why, and her incomprehensible anger suddenly rose in her heart, this was obviously a good opportunity, and her coquettish words could make Lin Yi even more pity, but An Qin just mentioned: "What the emperor said is that I saw all the sisters at the winter banquet today, and I feel even more ashamed, and their appearance is even more above the concubines...... The concubine is even more graceful, captivating the country and the city. ”

Lin Rong was still smiling, but when he heard the words 'Guifei Niangniang', his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at the jade plate on the table and lost his desire to eat it. It happened that at this time, Fu Chunsheng walked in and said to him: "Your Majesty, there is a word from the Shucui Palace, saying that the lady concubine is in trouble......

"Nightmare?" Lin Rong sneered and turned his head to look out the window: "Isn't it dark yet?" Why is it so bad? ”

Zhuang Wanli's heart is very small, but she has spoiled An Chang for a few days, Concubine Yu hasn't said anything yet, why is she sick every day either this or there?

Zhuang Youlin's movements also began to get bigger, causing Lin Yi to feel sick to his stomach when he heard Zhuang Wanli's name, and he was already extremely disgusted.

Fu Chunsheng didn't speak, Lin Rong thought for a moment, and finally stood up: "Let's go, go to Shucui Palace." ”

Whether it was just Lin Rong who didn't ask for reasons and just let her be careful, or went to Shucui Palace halfway now, An Qin will always be so smiling, obedient and gentle.

She bowed, feeling the wind hanging from Lin Rong as he walked past her, and only said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

The moment Lin Yi walked out of the door, Qiong Xin knelt down, changed her impulsive appearance just now, and said calmly: "The slave maid was impulsive just now, and please atone for the little master!" ”

"You're not wrong." An Qin shook his head, his eyes awe-inspiring. She raised the teacup in her hand and took a sip: "It just so happens that I also want to test the emperor's mind, but you just said it for me, and now you have seen it." ”

She pretended to have a gloomy expression: "I'm just a small constant, not enough to compare with those few, plus my status is low, so I can only suffer from the advice of the girls...... Even if the emperor values me these days, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not value other people in the future, we must not be ostentatious, if there is something wrong, it is, we must not contradict it, beware of losing courtesy. ”

The three maidservants knelt down one after another, and An Qin said again: "The maidservants and eunuchs who clean in the palace also need to mention a few words, understand?" ”

The three of them nodded, and An Qin was relieved, with a comfortable smile on her face, and she hastily ate a few bites of food: "You can take it, go to the Tai Hospital to find me a few medicinal herbs, and I will make it into a balm to moisten my hands." ”

When she thought of Concubine Yu, her eyes fell on the fox fur: "When it is done, I will send a few boxes to Concubine Yu, although it is not valuable, it can be regarded as a little bit of my heart, and it should be regarded as an expression of gratitude to this fox fur." ”

Finchbutterfly went out happily, she patted her chest and was full of confidence: "Finchbutterfly must bring the best medicinal materials back to the little master!" ”

An Qin only smiled, did not speak, and waited until they all went out, the smile was slowly put away, her eyes lit up, and her fingertips tapped lightly on the table.

The citrus peel oozes out the juice, which is dyed with red plum, scented with sandalwood, and blended with a collection of glue condensed from the sap of the crow tree.

The crow tree is only found on the coast of Qinzhou, and its dark color is known to be unknown, but its juice is viscous and very effective for blending or stitching.

Because of the beauty of the juice, the Shangyi Bureau likes to use it as a stitch, but few people except the imperial doctor will know that the branches of the crow tree are highly poisonous. Therefore, all the crow branches that came in from outside the palace were stored in the Tai Hospital, and if there was a need, someone would be sent to pick them up, and then the branches would be extracted into juice, and they would not be allowed to handle them.

The branches of the crow tree are rare, but it is also useful to hide some ash from the branches with your fingernails while they are not ready to extract them.

She seemed to be waiting for something, like a hunter who had prepared a trap, waiting for her prey to fall into the net. But she still hesitated for a moment, spread out her palm, and it was white and immaculate.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a red dot in the middle of the palm, and An Qinzai stared at it carefully for a moment, and the red dot turned into the appearance of the three princes.

This reminded her of the scene of the third prince's deathbed execution, and she finally made up her mind.

On the ground, she slammed the teacup violently, revealing her murderous aura.

——

The day the draft ceremony was held, which was a good day for Qin Tian. Concubine Shu and the emperor sat on the throne, her bun was inserted with peony gold wire inlaid with butterfly hairpin, and a flower was pasted on her forehead. The makeup was carefully dressed, the mule Dai drew her eyebrows, her eyes were charming and cold, and Su Fang's rouge patted her cheeks, which made her feel a little more like her little daughter's home.

She only looked at the delicate finger cuffs on her hands, and accidentally glanced up at the show girls standing in a row below, and said idly: "There is no good color." ”

The show girls in that row were already very nervous, and their hands hung down on their sides, but they trembled slightly. The clothes and jewelry in their group are all gorgeous and exquisite, and they have been carefully dressed from head to toe, but they are far less than one-ten-thousandth of the concubine in front of them.

Lin Rong called her this time because he had no queen in the harem and needed someone to accompany him, and because she was jealous, the people in front of her were all brushed down by her. He only had to order a few at random, and there were people next to him who found various reasons to 'put up a brand' for these people, and Lin Rong was very satisfied.

But even if Lin Rong didn't want to be included in the harem, he knew that these people were more or less related to the Queen Mother, but he still had to choose a few according to the rules. The former dynasty and the harem were originally close, and Lin Rongben casually thought about pointing at one at random, so he listened to the eunuch preaching beside him: "The sister of Tan Yi, the left governor, Tan Nuoqiu, is eighteen years old." ”

Unlike other 'Zhen Muqing, the daughter of Guanglu Doctor Zhen Linqing', and "Meng Zhidie, the daughter of Meng Diandao, the counselor of the General Political Division", there are only two masters in the Zuo Governor's Mansion, Tan Yi and Tan Nuoqiu, and the lyrics have changed slightly. Tan Yi climbed to this position by his own ability, so when Lin Yi saw that Tan Nuoqiu also came to participate in the draft, he was a little surprised.

He saw that Tan Nuoqiu was dressed lightly and elegantly, and only folded a plum and inserted it in her hair, which looked a little colorful, so he knew that she must have other plans, and couldn't help but say: "I said that the Governor's Mansion does not have to participate in this ceremony, how can it ...... ”

"I haven't found my husband's family even after I'm eighteen, if it's a year late, and I have to pass the name of the draft, won't this come?" Concubine Shu interrupted him, and saw that Tan Nuoqiu was really ordinary, if he was dressed up, he could only get the word Qingxiu, he would definitely not be selected, and he couldn't help but be proud.

But this remark with a gun and a stick made Tan Nuoqiu unhappy, she lowered her head to show respect, but her hands were already crumpled with her clothes. This also made Lin Rong look sideways, frowned and asked, "Aren't you three years older than her?" If you get tired of staying, go back to your Shucui Palace as soon as possible. ”

Concubine Shu Guifei was embarrassed in public, even if the group of people lowered their heads, she only felt that the group of show girls must be laughing at her in their hearts, and they couldn't hold it on their faces, and they felt that there was only one sister of the Governor Zuo, and there were no other officials and relatives in the family to take care of each other, so she didn't know how far worse it was than her, so she apologized to Lin Rong with a smile first, and the words changed: "Look at the concubine's quick mouth, don't be angry, Sister Nuoqiu is a good girl, if the emperor likes it, she will be included in the harem." ”

When Tan Nuoqiu entered the harem, didn't she let her rub it round and flatten?

She is so mediocre, where will she be her opponent?

Lin Rong's brows furrowed even deeper, and he felt that he shouldn't have brought her today, and his heart was very unhappy. But today I took her to see it together, that is, she was faintly given the power of the same deputy, and there was no one left before, and the grandmother sent by the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied next to her, and at this moment she even spoke: "Since she is the sister of the Governor Zuo, Your Majesty is included in the harem, and you must care more about it." "I had already decided for him.

A breath of air poured into his chest, and he was swollen with anger, and Lin Rong sneered: "The Queen Mother was unwell and could not come, but fortunately, Mama Su took care of her in order to convey the Queen Mother's will." In that case, I left her behind. ”

The eunuch next to him sang: "The sister of Tan Yi, the left governor, Tan Nuoqiu, leave a sign-"

When Tan Nuoqiu heard this, he raised his head suddenly, and a look of panic flashed on his face. As if sensing his gaffe, he hurriedly lowered his head again, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Concubine Shu heard the reluctance in her words, and smiled thickly, but she listened to Lin Rong on the side speak: "Although it is not etiquette, but I am afraid that your brother will be worried, you will give the concubine the position as soon as you enter the palace, give the number and then discuss it later, and then you can write a letter to let your brother relax when you go back." ”

"Your Majesty, this is not in order." Concubine Shu was the first to object, she said it too quickly, almost without her brain, she was only thinking about why, and her words couldn't help but be a little jealous: "Then Tan Yi was demoted because his ability was wrong, you are already kind, you can write a letter at any time, why rush today?" What does this make the other selected show girls think? ”

How rare is a concubine?!

seems to enter the palace with Concubine Shu, which one has not been hard for three or five or six years? The draft is always in the position according to the family background, and even Concubine Wan Tianyao was just a noble person when she first entered the palace.

Why can she get a concubine?

Lin Rong glanced at her obliquely, and snorted coldly: "Now that the concubine has some of the demeanor of a queen, it is okay to question my decision!" Just like your father, it seems that Zhuang Youlin gave birth to a good daughter! I just don't know if Tan Yi is alone in the bitter cold place, and will it be chilling to learn that his only relative entered the palace but was disliked in every way? ”

Hmmm-

Concubine Shugui's back was cold, and a few strands of cold sweat soaked her forehead, which was placed between her forehead so that she couldn't see the appearance of the person in front of her clearly.

She realized her transgression and kept her mouth shut, for fear of provoking Lin Rong again.

Lin Rong looked at Mama again: "Mama said that I should treat her well, presumably it is also the Queen Mother's question, if it is not unruly, the concubine is also lighter than Tan Yi's military exploits." ”

Mama's face darkened and she didn't say anything.

When the eunuch sang the lyrics and let them go down, Tan Nuoqiu had not recovered from the shock, and she clutched the sachet given by the eunuch, which meant leaving a name. In addition, the one just now, who just entered the palace is a concubine, as if throwing stones into a calm lake, not only arousing the jealousy of countless show girls, but also arousing the resistance of the harem concubines.

Although she couldn't be happy, she couldn't help but be moved: even if her brother was relegated to a cold and remote place, now it seems that the emperor is also thinking of her brother's merits, which will give her such glory.

But that's not what she wanted.

She is eighteen years old, as if the begonia flowers in full bloom are about to be grateful, and if she is carefully cared for, it will be delayed for two years at most. Most of the flowers in the harem are budding flowers, Tan Nuoqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, she is out of place, who knows if she can stabilize this concubine?

Tan Nuoqiu looked up at the sky, the clear blue sky was like a translucent gem, like an aquamarine that her brother had given her as an earring, it looked clean and flawless, but it couldn't tolerate a trace of bumps.

Just like the Forbidden City, which is magnificent on the surface, but I don't know how much filth it hides.
