Chapter 4: Wind Clearing (1)

Autumn has arrived, the autumn of the Shengjing Imperial Palace, 'the autumn grass grows on the Mo every year, and the sun sets in the building every day. 'In front of the court, the sycamores are falling, the waterside is full of hibiscus, and the ancient cypress is high and ginkgo is fruitful, and they meet in the garden of Shoukang Palace. Xianruo Pavilion, Linxi Pavilion, Cangsong Cypress, Delicate Ginkgo, full of delicate and picturesque. Mu Lianzhu turned Huang Fei's Buddha beads in her hand, silently reciting the scriptures in her mouth, although her well-maintained face inevitably had some traces of time, but it could be seen that she must have a good appearance and a beautiful crown when she was young. The last time the emperor came to mention the matter of the old regent's palace Di Yan, I am afraid that he already has some ideas, thinking of this, Mu Lianzhu couldn't help but tighten the Buddha beads in his hand.

"The concubine greets the emperor." Mu Lianzhu, who was thinking about her thoughts, was interrupted by Wen Yanwan's greeting, and hurriedly said: "A pregnant person still kneels at every turn, and the queen also understands the rules." Zhu Hui quickly brought a chair over. Yan Wan got up slowly and sat on the chair brought by Mama Zhu: "Emperor Xie, the concubine has only been in the way for three months." Huang Eniang, have you been feeling better lately? ”

"What's good or bad about the mourning family when they are old, it's all some bitter medicine to drink, and it's not good to look good. The queen also sent someone to send wild ginseng before, which is really heartfelt. While speaking, Mama Bi Shen brought Wen Yanwan rose mint tea, and the queen took it and continued: "Huang Eniang, if you eat well, the concubine will send someone to send it." Yesterday, the elder brother of the family entered the palace to report on his work, and the emperor specially invited his concubines to accompany him. Wen Yanwan said as if she didn't have a match. Before she was pregnant, Wen Yanwan preferred to drink green tea, and a few days ago, when Liu Cheng asked for a safe pulse, she suggested drinking less green tea, so she changed to drink rose mint tea, but she really didn't expect that even the Queen Mother would be interested.

"The emperor has done a good job in this matter, the queen is pregnant now, and she needs the attention of her mother's family." Wen Yanwan smiled innocently after hearing this, as if she suddenly remembered something, and continued: "The emperor's mother didn't mention it, but the concubine wanted to invite her sister-in-law to the palace to talk about it, although there were also sisters in the palace who had given birth and raised, and there were imperial doctors who took care of her, but the concubine still had nothing in her heart." Mu Lianzhu knew that Wen Yanwan was waiting for her here, and smiled with a smile: "The queen doesn't say, the mourning family also wants to call the queen's family to accompany the queen, the Wen family's family is mostly brothers, and there are few sisters, so only the queen's brother's wife and sister-in-law are more suitable, so in a few days, the mourning family will call her into the palace to chatter." After hearing this, Yanwan got up and thanked the Empress Dowager Mu Lianzhu. Queen, is it okay to copy the scriptures for the mourning family? "Yes, the concubine obeys."

Wen Yanwan took off the gold wire armor set inlaid with turquoise and handed it to Wen Lin, sat down in front of the bookcase after cleaning her hands, Zhu Hui stepped forward to grind the ink, Wen Lin served on the side, and Bi Shen lit incense. The atmosphere of Shoukang Palace is relaxed and quiet, "Huang Eniang, did you add a little sandalwood to the agarwood incense you ordered today?" Mu Lianzhu was surprised when she heard this: "You kid has a smart nose, the mourning family reads more scriptures on weekdays, and they like the smell of sandalwood, and there are not many people among the young people who know them, but the queen smells it as soon as she smells it." Wen Yanwan quietly copied the Buddhist scriptures and replied: "Mother also likes to light sandalwood when she is at home, saying that it is best to use it carefully, and sometimes the concubines will also light some sandalwood when they are restless, which feels more calming than other fragrances." Mu Lianzhu said appreciatively: "That's it, if the queen is tired of copying, she can stop at any time." If you think about it, you can continue to copy it, and don't be tired of your own body if you are pregnant. Wen Yanwan smiled and nodded, and began to copy seriously and stopped speaking.

The Queen Mother Mu Lianzhu looked at the Buddhist scriptures on the couch, and repeated them several times in a whisper when she encountered a few sentences, while the Queen Wen Yanwan carefully copied the scriptures, and her posture never changed. The words are true and true, Wen Yanwan's words have a fairy spirit in them, elegant but restrained and dignified. Before I knew it, an hour passed, and Bi Shen entered the hall with a lamp to change the two masters to a brighter lamp, and carefully read the eyes of the masters. Seeing Bi Shen's action of changing the lamp, the Queen Mother Mu Lianzhu realized that the sky was getting dark, and seeing that the queen had no intention of stopping at all, she had to interrupt: "The queen is calm, the mourning family sees that you have written for an hour, and there is no word, and I don't feel it when the sky is dark." Wen Yanwan stopped the pen in her hand when she heard the voice of the Queen Mother, put it on the pen, got up and saluted: "It's the concubine who didn't pay attention, the emperor's mother, the Buddhist mantra is the most calm, copying and copying, but I forgot the time." ”

"Okay, it's not too early, does the queen want to stay for dinner?"

"When I came out today, there were still some affairs in the palace that had not been arranged, and the concubines would not continue to bother the emperor's mother today. Next time, I'll have dinner with the emperor's mother. ”

"Okay, while it's still dark, the queen will go back to the palace early, and the mourning family won't keep you."

"Yes, the emperor's mother, the concubine has retired."

Out of Shoukang Palace, it was already sunset, and the autumn evening wind was still a little cool on the body. Fei Yu hurriedly put on a cloak for Wen Yanwan, and the group went in the direction of Kunning Palace.
