What's going on? Qingwen was puzzled and stood there and watched for a while.

The mandarin duck walked up to her and said softly: "An old lady in the palace is sick, and the old lady should go to the palace to serve the sick." ”

"Old lady?" Qingwen was even more puzzled, "The concubine is not the queen mother, why do you want to work and all these ladies to enter the palace?" ”

"You don't know, this concubine's identity is not ordinary, she is an old man who is a generation older than the emperor. When the emperor's mother died early, it was this old concubine who brought him up and did her best to help him ascend to the throne, so he was highly respected by the emperor and the current emperor. ”

A touch of melancholy appeared on the mandarin duck's face, "The old lady also said that she is the only person in the palace who can remember the great achievements of the two grandfathers of the country. Because of her, the royal family took care of the Jia family. Nowadays......"

The mandarin duck didn't say any more, but Qingwen also understood.

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier", the glorious era of the Jia family's "one family and two dukes" has passed.

Few people remember their exploits today.

This old lady is one of the few people who remember them, and with her, the royal family will give some favor to the Jia family to a greater or lesser extent.

And if she wasn't there, the big tree that the Jia family was leaning on would have fallen.

Qingwen's guess was not wrong, that night, Jia's mother, who returned home very late, summoned her to her house.

The old lady was tired and tired, and she fought hard to talk to Qingwen.

"Sunny girl, do you still have too many leaves of scarlet grass that you gave me a few days ago? I...... The old woman wants to be cheeky and ask you for a few pieces. ”

She knew that it was the life-saving medicine that Qingwen left for Daiyu, and it was extremely precious.

opened her mouth to beg for it, as if she, an old man, was oppressing people with power, but she really had no choice.

Qingwen thought about it, the two Zhuzhu grasses planted earlier at home were thriving, and if nothing else, they could be harvested normally.

However, she now only has a relatively complete Zhuzhu grass in her hand, which is in case Daiyu needs it from time to time, besides......

"Old lady, do you want this pearl grass for the old lady in the palace?"

Qingwen hesitated, "I still have a few leaves left in my hand to give her, but that old lady is already very long-lived, I'm afraid it's ...... Originally, the oil should have run out of oil and the lamp was dry, and even the Zhuzhu grass was afraid that it would be weak to return to the sky. ”

"I also know," the old lady sighed, "but if she goes, the Jia family really has no one to rely on in the palace."

Although your sister Yuan Concubine is also a palace concubine, the emperor's favor for her is limited, and the Jia family is afraid that she can't count on her. ”

"Old lady, according to me, it is better to use the bead grass for the concubine, as soon as the complexion is good, the person will look delicate and young, and the emperor will ...... Pamper her more, right? Qingwen smiled.

"You girl, you dare to think," the old lady also laughed, and soon seemed to think of something again, frowning slightly, "But she has not done anything for so many years, and she doesn't even have a little princess under her knees, no matter how good her complexion is, it is not a long-term solution." ”

"Does the concubine have a safe doctor, take a look at the body?"

"Can you not see?" The old lady sighed helplessly, "I've also found a number of doctors over the years, but they can't say a word, hasn't this been delayed until now?" ”

"Slurping?" Qingwen thought to herself, "If the imperial doctor can't see anything, he won't be all swallowed, ...... Maybe there's something else going on? ”

She had a guess in her mind, but she didn't say it.

The relationship in the palace is complicated, the struggle for imperial power is fierce, and the concubines in the palace are idle and bored, so they only have to fight with each other.

Those who have children try their best to prevent others from being born and add a competitor to their sons.

Those who have no heirs try their best to compete for favor, hoping that the emperor can summon him to sleep a few more times, and he can compete with others if he is pregnant with a dragon.

Yuan Chun is in good health, and he doesn't look like he has any hidden disease, he has been in the palace for many years without pregnancy, who is calculating if he can't prepare it?

She wouldn't say that if she accidentally got involved in a royal battle, how could she, a little clay figure, die and not know?

"Old lady, I can give you two pieces of the Zhuzhu Grass Leaf, and you can find the Imperial Doctor to consider it carefully. But don't say that I gave it, let people know, I can't keep this treasure. Qingwen cautioned.

She knew that for Daiyu's sake, she didn't need to say more, the old lady didn't dare to talk nonsense.

As for who she is going to use? She didn't care.

……

The old lady, Mrs. Wang and others got up every day on five watches and went to the palace to serve the sick, and they would not go home until it was dark at night.

Sister Feng also said that she couldn't get sick, and the big and small things in the inner courtyard of the Jia family were all pressed on Tanchun and Li Kun at once.

When Mrs. Wang was there, the two didn't have to worry too much about it, but now they had to be cautious.

Because the two of them live apart from each other, they have to discuss matters together recently, and it is inconvenient to talk back and forth, so the two agreed: every morning they will go to the three small flower halls on the south side of the garden gate to do things, have breakfast, and go back to their own house at noon.

These three halls were originally the places where the deacons and eunuchs sat when they were preparing for the provincial relatives, and there was no need for them after the provincial relatives, and only the mothers-in-law went to the night every day.

Now that the weather is warm, there is no need to be very decorated, but it is slightly laid out for the two of her to sit up.

These three small flower halls are now called "meeting halls" by everyone in the family.

Tanchun and Li Kun are here every day, and they disperse at noon. There was an endless stream of people who responded to the deacon's daughter-in-law and other people who came and went.

Jiafu should be a maid and servant, and everyone is secretly happy in their hearts.

Because Li Su Ri is a good old man, he is kind and kind, and he is naturally better than Sister Feng.

And she didn't open her mouth if she could do anything, but pushed almost everything to Tanchun.

Tanchun is just a young lady who has not left the boudoir, and she is the most peaceful and tranquil, so people don't care, and she is much more slack than when Sister Feng was on the council.

The housekeepers' daughters-in-law also despise Li Kun's honesty, deceive Chun when she is young, and she is far less diligent than Sister Feng's housekeeper.

For a while, there were a lot of small and small chaos in the inner courtyard of Jiafu.

The maids and servants in the master's house steal the master's property; The old women slept during the day and gathered together at night to drink and gamble; Or maybe in the past, there was discord, taking advantage of the absence of the master, there was revenge, there was revenge, there was revenge, there was a grudge, and there were fights.

When Sister Feng was in charge of the house, how could anyone dare to do these things?

But now, Tanchun is like a member of the firefighting team, extinguishing this place, getting up there, extinguishing that place, and rising again here, and he can't be idle all day.

The little girl gives her subordinates the feeling of tranquility, but she is respected and does not want to worry about them.

Now that she is the housekeeper, how can they allow them to make such a mess in the back house?

How can the second wife, who entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, be more important than her?

Tanchun was annoyed, but he also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry.

If you want to stand up, you have to find someone to come out and make a raft and have a good time.
