Chapter 186: Reverse Scales
Emperor Jing heard this: "That kid sent strange things into the palace again?" ”
It used to be wine, then it was Rausch's milk tea, and now it's ice powder?
Xiao Guifei suddenly sneered on the side: "Where is it weird, the concubine thinks it is very interesting, it is cold and cold, especially to cool off." ”
"Is it that good?" Emperor Jing asked with a smile.
"Of course, Your Majesty will know if you taste it."
Concubine Xiao's Changyun Hall has always been the most noble place in the palace except for Emperor Jing and the Queen Mother, and there is a copy of all good things, even the queen can't compare to this special, plus Mo Xuanchen and Yun Jinchu remember their grace, every time something is sent in from outside the palace, it will be divided out and given to Changyun Palace.
Seeing that Emperor Jing didn't believe it, Concubine Xiao stopped shopping in the garden, and pulled Emperor Jing back to Changyun Palace.
An ice basin was placed in the Changyun Hall early, and when the wooden fan shook gently, the coolness enveloped the entire hall.
Xiao Guifei asked someone to make ice powder and send it over, and when the next person came in with a tray and put the two bowls of things on it in front of the two, Emperor Jing was quite curious to hold one of the bowls, looking at the crystal clear things that looked like ice and non-ice, and there were many dried fruits and fruits on it.
"This is ice powder?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, try it."
Xiao Guifei urged.
Feng Liang took the silver needle and wanted to step forward to test the poison, but Xiao Guifei's originally smiling face instantly collapsed.
Seeing this, Emperor Jing waved his hand: "No need." ”
He took the contents of the bowl and put it in his mouth, maybe it was because of his trust, Xiao Guifei had a smile on her face and hung up again.
The change in expression did not look like a concubine who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, but like a child, holding her chin and supporting her black and white eyes, looking at him with blank eyes.
"How's it going, is it delicious?"
Emperor Jing was amused by her appearance, carefully feeling the coldness in his mouth, mixed with the sweetness of brown sugar water and the fragrance of fruits, and occasionally the taste of ice residue and dried fruit chewing, he nodded and said, "It's not bad." ”
"Just say it to the concubine, it's delicious!"
Xiao Guifei suddenly laughed proudly, twisted her waist and jingled the bell, and she also held the bowl and ate it.
Half a bowl of ice powder mixed with crushed ice slag, Emperor Jing felt that it was something that froze his teeth, but Xiao Guifei seemed to like it very much.
After taking the bowl and swallowing all the contents of the bowl, she turned her head and said, "Another bowl, add more raisins and crushed peanuts......
"Niangniang, this thing is cold, you can't eat more."
"Why can't you eat more?"
Xiao Guifei glared unhappily.
The new palace maid in the Changyun Palace hurriedly stepped forward and said bitterly: "Your body is already weak, and your body is cold, and the imperial doctor has repeatedly told you to eat less cold things, and you must live well to be healthy......
Xiao Guifei's face sank: "What is Kang Jian, I don't have to have children, what to raise!" ”
The palace maid's face turned pale instantly.
Emperor Jing, who was originally smiling, also reined in.
Xiao Guifei pursed her lips and pushed the bowl away: "Don't eat it." ”
"Yuan Yuan ......"
"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, go back, the concubines are also lacking, so I won't leave you to eat in Changyun Palace."
Xiao Guifei got up and squatted perfunctorily towards Emperor Jing, and when she got up and left calmly and indifferently, the gorgeous skirt hung down, and the peony flowers on it seemed to have lost their previous beauty, and even the bell on her waist was no longer crisp before, but with a suffocating dull feeling.
Feng Liang immediately scolded: "If you don't understand the rules, who told you to talk nonsense!" ”
Emperor Jing said coldly: "Drag it out, the rod will be killed!" ”
"Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life, the slave and maid just care about the mother's body......"
The palace maid threw herself on her knees and cried loudly.
"Dare to quibble!"
Feng Liang saw that Emperor Jing's gaze sank, and he stepped forward and wanted to block the palace maid's mouth.
The palace maid of the Changyun Hall next to her was busy kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty forgives me, this Jingchun has just come to Changyun Palace, Niangniang saw that she was well-behaved and put people into the inner hall to serve, she didn't know about Niangniang, probably because she heard the doctor's instructions left when the imperial doctor came over in the afternoon, she would talk nonsense, it was the slave maid who didn't teach her well, and asked Your Majesty to punish her." ”
Emperor Jing's calm eyes were gloomy, and he was also angry when he looked at Xiangying in front of him, but he knew that Xiangying was the girl that Xiao Guifei cared about the most.
Xiao Guifei has always been protective of her shortcomings, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If you don't understand the rules, you can teach it and then release it, so you don't have to provoke your mother." Pull people down and hit ten boards, and next time you talk nonsense and pull out your tongue! ”
The palace maid's face turned pale.
Xiang Yan hurriedly pinched her: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you thank you?!" ”
Jing Chun came back to his senses and kowtowed to thank him, and after being taken out to be punished, Emperor Jing looked at the things on the table and lost his appetite, he asked, "The imperial doctor came over in the afternoon?" ”
Xiangying nodded: "Come and ask the mother for peace." ”
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?"
Xiangying hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "It's still the same, Niangniang's body is injured, and she faints painfully every small day, and she often can't get up for several days, and the doctor only left a decoction and said that Niangniang used it, but Niangniang's body ......."
She looked sad as she hung her head, biting her lip and not continuing.
Emperor Jing pursed the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Guifei's family background is not too good, and she never entered the palace to choose a concubine in her early years, but he once unintentionally met her outside when she left the palace, because she looked like a yuan, she was full of joy to include people in the palace, and after entering the palace, she let her be favored every day, and it didn't take long for Xiao Guifei to become pregnant.
Emperor Jing was over forty years old at that time, even if there were many children in the palace, and there was no shortage of princes and princesses under his knees, but the child in Xiao Guifei's womb still made him full of joy, not only the joy of getting a child when he was old, but also looking forward to the birth of this child, even if the court was busy, he would come to accompany Xiao Guifei for a while every day after the next court.
He saw the child grow up day by day, and even felt the fetal movement in Xiao Guifei's womb.
But who knew that Xiao Guifei had an accident when she was almost six months pregnant.
Someone moved in the Changyun Palace, and there was also a problem with Concubine Xiao's meal.
The child was gone, Xiao Guifei almost died on the delivery bed, and finally picked up a life, but because she was poisoned by drugs, she could never have a child again.
Xiao Guifei is different from those women in the palace, she is straightforward, and she never fakes, Emperor Jing already likes her, this time she is even more distressed when she looks at her tears like rain under the guilt, Emperor Jing promoted her to a concubine, and also pampered her in every way, but this matter has become a taboo that cannot be mentioned.
The imperial doctors in the palace all knew that Concubine Xiao Guifei had damaged her body, and most of the pain in that month was the aftermath of the medicine back then.
Even though Emperor Jing had cleared the Changyun Palace once, caught the so-called culprit, and killed several concubines, Emperor Jing owed Xiao Guifei.
Losing all his good mood, Emperor Jing asked Xiangying to take care of Concubine Xiao and left Changyun Palace.
