Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

Huo Qingtong didn't understand Chinese, so the queen mother naturally disdained to communicate with her, and said to Gu Lina who was beside her through her nanny: "When the imperial mother came to Baoyue Tower, the princess Huibu dared not come downstairs to greet her! What a shame!"

"The queen mother calms down, the princess didn't mean to be negligent... She has been... since she came to the capital... she has been sick frequently, with high fevers that don't go away, and rashes on her body. Zhang Yuan of the imperial hospital said... said...the princess may Acne..."

According to Huo Zhuqingtong's instruction, Gulina reported to the Queen Mother and the others in a serious manner.

The Qing palace had always been afraid of smallpox, and when they heard the word "acne", they all showed panic expressions.

The queen mother said angrily: "This is serious! She is really going to get acne!"

"Acne is what your imperial doctor said, we... we people don't know what is a pimple... but the emperor forbade the princess to leave Baoyue Tower after he came once, and the people in the building were not allowed to take things out... Daily food and clothing cannot be mixed with other places..."

Gulina's voice became smaller and smaller, and the fear of "acne" flickered in her words.

The empresses and concubines could not avoid it at this time, they retreated behind the empress dowager, and even faintly felt that the heavy guard outside Baoyue Tower was actually a proof that the emperor cared about them and protected them.

The queen mother was even more disturbed, and said to She Shuxian: "According to the rules of the ancestors, no matter who shows signs of acne, he has to be removed from the palace to recuperate until heals up. Why is she still in the palace!"

"The concubine thought that maybe she just might have acne, but in fact she hasn't had acne yet."

She Shuxian saw at a glance that this matter was Huo Qingtong's plot, so she took the initiative to leave the matter behind.

"It seems to be acne? In fact, there is no acne?"

The queen mother suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and said to Gulina, "Have any of you Hui people ever been vaccinated?"

"Vaccination? What is vaccination?"

Gulina asked back with a blank face.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager became more and more worried, and said to She Shuxian: "I'm tired, I have to go back first. You can handle the rest!"

"Whoo."

She Shuxian sent the Queen Mother out of Baoyue Tower.

The rest of the concubines also fled away with the excuse that the emperor did not allow them to enter Baoyue Tower at will.

Seeing these black-eyed chickens come and go even faster, She Shuxian couldn't help smiling, and said: "Miss Huo Qingtong is worthy of being a returning female Zhuge, who scared the courage of so many people with just a plausible smallpox. Si Li's departure from the palace laid the groundwork. But having said that, this step of yours is really too bold and too risky."

Hearing this, Huo Qingtong realized that the queen was unusual, stopped the restless Gulina, stepped forward generously, and said, "Manchu queen, what do you want from me?"

"Why do you ask that?" She Shuxian asked back.

Huo Qingtong said: "Because you know my true identity but don't tell your emperor about me."

"Go on."

She Shuxian looked at Huo Qingtong with piercing eyes: she is a more beautiful and intelligent woman than she expected, and she can almost reveal the whole picture with just a few words.

Huo Qingtong was also observing the queen.

She originally thought that the queen would reveal her flaws because of her own words, but she didn't expect her to be so calm, and suddenly she was a little uncertain about the queen's thoughts, so she could only half-probing and half-threatening: "Empress, you know that I am a rebellious party, and I entered the palace for Kasili, you also tacitly agreed with Princess Wei to help me, and you are not afraid to include yourself after the matter is revealed?"

"Miss Huo Qingtong, you are very smart, but you have made a mistake in one of the most important things," She Shuxian said, "It is Princess Hewei who made friends with you, and it is Princess Hewei who helped you enter the palace. It was Princess Xiang who concealed her identity...From the beginning to the end, I didn't know anything. I didn't know that you were Huo Qingtong in Cuiyu Huangshan, and I didn't know that you planned to make friends with Princess Wei to steal the emperor's most beloved Princess Xiang, let alone knowing that you are going to let Princess Xiang pretend to have smallpox and ask to leave the palace to avoid acne!"

"So, you know everything but don't know anything?" Huo Qingtong said sharply.

The queen's words confused her, she didn't know what the most honorable woman in the world wanted to do, but no matter what she was going to do, it would definitely be an earth-shattering event!

She Shuxian saw that Huo Qingtong regarded herself as an evenly matched opponent, and said with a smile: "Miss Huo Qingtong, I didn't mean to prevaricate just now, but the harem has the rules of survival of the harem. As the master of the harem, I must know everything but don't know everything. have no idea."

"I see."

Huo Qingtong pretended to realize suddenly, but he was on guard in his heart.

She Shuxian said again: "The emperor now dotes on Princess Xiang and wants to steal her out of the palace in full view. It is indeed the best excuse to go out of the palace to avoid acne, but what can you do to make Princess Xiang have obvious acne symptoms? As for being in a life-and-death crisis?"

The death rate from smallpox was already high, not to mention that the level of medical care and sanitation in the Qing Dynasty was not optimistic. Getting smallpox was like stepping half a foot into the gate of hell.

Huo Qingtong smiled confidently, and said, "I dare to do this, of course I have my reasons."

"Because Chen Jialuo and Honghua will meet?"

She Shuxian said something lightly, but Huo Qingtong, who was originally full of confidence, was hurt badly!

"How much do you really know!"

She looked at She Shuxian in horror.

"I know everything I need to know," She Shuxian said softly, "I know that you are Huo Qingtong in Cuiyu Huangshan, and that you and Kasili both like Chen Jialuo, the head of the Red Flower Club... I also know that Chen Jialuo put a piece of Nuanyu was given to Kasili as a token of love, with four lines of fine seal inscriptions inlaid with gold thread on the jade - deep love will never last, strong will be humiliating. Modest gentleman, gentle and moist as jade."

"...It turns out that you really know everything."

Huo Qingtong sighed dejectedly, and said: "Empress, you know so many secrets, why didn't you tell your emperor any of them?"

"Why did you tell him?" She Shuxian asked back, "Let the emperor know that I know too many secrets that I shouldn't know, and I will only die faster."

"That is to say..."

Huo Qingtong faintly realized what the queen wanted to do.

She said to She Shuxian: "Are you trying to use my hands to do some outrageous things?"

"How could I do such a rebellious thing," She Shuxian said, "I only do what I am supposed to do."

"But you concealed my identity from the emperor!"

Huo Qingtong tried her best to find out the queen's details.

She Shuxian smiled and said: "Because reporting the truth will embarrass Princess Xiang. She is beautiful and destined to become the emperor's favorite concubine. I don't want to offend the future favorite concubine in advance because of a trivial matter."

"She will never become the emperor's favorite concubine, never!"

Huo Qingtong said sharply, she did not allow Qianlong to touch her Kasili.

She Shuxian smiled and said: "But if you can't think of a solution before this year's Mulan Autumn, she must become the emperor's favorite concubine. Don't forget, when the weather turns cold after autumn, smallpox will be difficult to spread."

After saying what she had to say, She Shuxian left Baoyue Tower.

Huo Qingtong savored every word of the queen, and it became more and more meaningful.

Obviously, the queen has the intention of using herself to kill the emperor, even though her words are flashy and the meaning is ambiguous.

"But I do intend to send the dog emperor to the west!" Huo Qingtong said to himself.

The queen's words gave her two revelations, one was smallpox and the other was Mulan Qiuxiu.

……

……

After leaving Baoyue Tower, She Shuxian was not in a hurry to return to Yikun Palace.

Surrounded by the palace people, she strolled through the imperial garden, admiring the flowers and the scenery, until she met Prince He.

He and the prince were walking a new macaw in the pavilion.

This parrot was purchased by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi from Westerners who were doing business in Guangzhou and then sent to the capital. It has bright colors and a huge body. If it hadn't been for its long tail trailing the ground, it would have been mistaken for a falcon painted on its shoulders.

Like She Shuxian's Xiaodai, the macaw is also born with a low mouth. When he saw the queen and others approaching, he flapped his wings and called out: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"

This parrot is a new learner of human language, so its voice is inevitably shrill, but it is unexpectedly cute with its rainbow-colored feathers.

Hearing the words, the prince turned around and said to She Shuxian who was unwilling to enter the pavilion: "Empress, how is this colorful phoenix of my king smaller than the queen's?"

"Caifeng?"

She Shuxian did not expect that Prince He would give such a name to a macaw, so she asked, "Why Caifeng?"

"The body has no colorful phoenix and two flying wings, but the heart has a tacit understanding."

Prince He explained as if talking to himself, "This king has always liked this sentence of Li Shangyin. It just so happens that this parrot is born with colorful colors like a phoenix, so I named it Caifeng."

"In this way, Caifeng is indeed a good name that is gentle and appropriate," She Shuxian said with a smile, "In order to match your Caifeng, I decided to change Xiaodai's name when I go back."

"What name?" Prince He asked.

She Shuxian said, "Curling."

"Curling? I don't know how to explain it?"

and the prince asked enthusiastically.

She Shuxian replied meaningfully: "If relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, a piece of icy heart is in the jade pot. It has no icy heart, and it is not jade. It can only get one word for each, which is called curling."

Hearing this, Prince He was taken aback, and then said: "Xiao Dai's whole body is pure white, but there is a cluster of yellow feathers on the top of his head, which really deserves the description of Bing Xin in the jade pot."

She Shuxian smiled, stretched out her hand to tease Hong Zhou's Caifeng, and said casually: "My lord, you know that the emperor recently dotes on Princess Xiang who has returned to the Ministry, and the queen mother is quite dissatisfied with this, so she just took the harem concubine to Baoyue Master Lou Xing asked the crime, thanks to the powerful character beside Princess Xiang, he sent the queen mother and the others away, otherwise—the queen of this palace will become a mouse in the bellows, and he will be angry on both sides!"

"how do I say this?"

Hong Zhou was obviously aroused by She Shuxian's words.

She Shuxian said: "The Emperor wants to protect Princess Xiang, and the Empress Dowager doesn't like Princess Xiang. I am caught between them, isn't it just a mouse in the bellows?"

"Then remove the bellows!" Hong Zhou said.

She Shuxian said politely: "The prince is joking!"
