Shu Manhua nodded, "It's just to have a cup of tea with the empress, there's no need to bring anyone with me, I'm already tired of bringing a group of people in and out, so you just stay in the palace and wait for me to come back."

Sanyue wanted to say something when he moved here, but he couldn't say it after holding back, and respectfully sent Shu Manhua away from Jiuhua Palace.

Following the people sent by Empress Zongzheng, they walked around for a long time, taking two cups of tea, before arriving at Changle Palace.Shu Manhua looked around, although the Changle Palace is the queen's bedroom, but it doesn't have many luxurious decorations, it looks more elegant and solemn, which is in line with the queen's status, but just looking at it right now, it can still be a little more gorgeous, After all, she is also a queen, frugal and simple should be, but if it is too much, it is really unnecessary.

Entering the second gate and entering the Hall of Liangyi, the furnishings in the hall are elegant, and Shu Manhua is attracted by the three-legged animal stove on the low table of the soft couch. The cigarettes in the stove curl up and linger, it is very beautiful, and the fragrance is also light and pleasant, it should be there Soothing effect.

Empress Zongzheng was sitting on the side of the soft couch, seeing Shumanhua looking at the small incense burner as soon as she came in, she smiled gently and kindly, "If the Ninth Prince likes it, I will ask the palace servant to bring it to you when I go back later." , it just so happens that there is another one in my palace that is exactly the same."

Shu Manhua raised his eyebrows, and bowed to Empress Zongzheng, "Then I will thank the Empress first."

Empress Zongzheng smiled and nodded, she was very satisfied with Shu Manhua's "On the Way", raised her chin slightly and nodded to the opposite side, "Sit down

"

Shu Manhua sat down, and only then began to carefully look at the woman across from him.

Empress Zongzheng's appearance can't be regarded as overwhelming, at least at first glance, she is indeed not as stunning as Concubine Cao.But her facial features are soft, and even when she has no expression, she can see a peaceful feeling. When she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes bend into a sweet arc, she will be more gentle and watery.In addition to being born in a famous family, with the dignity and elegance unique to a lady's body, this blends together to make it very beautiful and attractive.

But obviously, the beauty of Empress Zongzheng needs time to become more obvious.

Emperor Jing and Empress Zongzheng have been husband and wife for many years, so they naturally understand this point. This should be one of the reasons why Emperor Jing still values ​​and respects the empress so much.

A court lady in a red palace dress and a lily bun came forward with an exquisite tea set. There was water sitting on a small red clay stove, and hot steam came out of the spout.

"This little girl is the best at making tea in Changle Palace. I don't have any hobbies. I usually like to drink tea and make some small refreshments to pass the time. This girl was trained by Bengong. That talent."

Shu Manhua watched the maid's movements step by step, and said with a smile: "The Queen's eyes are very good, and being able to see her also shows that she has a talent. Today, I am honored to be invited by the Queen's Lady, and I can taste this great summer. tribute tea."

"Oh? You also watch tea?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I only know how to drink tea, but I don't know much about tea. Sometimes I can't even tell the difference between new tea and old tea. If I come here today, I will drink water like a cow. I wasted such a good tea and made the empress laugh." gone."

Empress Zongzheng seemed to be amused by Shu Manhua's phrase "Drinking water like a cow", she smiled and asked, "Then how do you know this is Daxia tribute tea?"

"Before I met Da Xia's envoy in Weiyang Palace, I smelled this kind of smell on Xia Rulie's body. I think he brought this kind of tea with him all the way, so he got it. I have heard that Da Xia tribute tea is tea The best, Father must know that you like tea, empress, so he asked someone to bring tribute tea to you."

Empress Zongzheng smiled elatedly, "You are really smart, you can talk so well, it's no wonder that little King Ning, who has never been close to you, looks at you with admiration."

Shu Manhua frowned, just when he thought he was wrong and Empress Zongzheng also wanted to know about Ao Qin, the latter changed the subject and changed the direction of their conversation.

"Back when I married Your Majesty, Your Majesty was still the crown prince. At that time, I was the only one in the Taiwo's womb, and Your Majesty treated me very well. I am different from ordinary ladies from famous families. I am not only good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Bengong's elder brother is General Wu Da of Xiaodian Gate in Yuen Long, and he taught him riding and archery since he was a child, so Bengong can also go to the racecourse with His Majesty to ride horses."

Empress Zongzheng's face was always calm, but when she said this, her eyebrows sank slightly, as if she was caught in reminiscence.

"Even though the number of people around His Majesty gradually increased, after succeeding to the throne, there are new and old people in the palace, His Majesty still dotes on me the most. He said that he likes the appearance of me in fresh clothes and angry horses. No other woman has such a hearty spirit." Son. But ah, the emperor's favor, there is no longevity

Not bad, I knew in my heart that there would be such a day, so I thought that as long as His Majesty still likes me, even if he is not the favorite, but as long as there is still affection and respect for each other, I will be content.

This is the situation now, and it has been several years later than I expected, which is not bad.There is no woman in this world who does not want to be loved by her husband alone, but this palace is the empress and the official wife of His Majesty. In order to provide His Majesty with heirs, she has to take good care of the harem. In addition to the routine selection of concubines, she also has to manage the harem well. woman.

It's just that some women, although they have a youthful and beautiful appearance, will only rely on their beauty to rely on His Majesty's favor to act recklessly, forget their own identities, and do things that affect the stability of the harem.His Majesty is busy with government affairs, and it is rare to have someone who is satisfied with himself by his side, so as long as he does not make any serious mistakes, I will turn a blind eye and not care about her. "

Hearing what Empress Zongzheng said so much, Shu Manhua's face was always smiling. This woman is very smart, and she also showed herself a good eloquence.Just now she said so much scatteredly, it seems that she didn't think about it, just remembered what to say, illogical, but in fact, when she finished speaking, the listener would involuntarily imagine two things in her mind. frame.

The first picture: The empress has both ability and political integrity, and she has a deep affection with her majesty. Although she is no longer as beautiful today, she still respects each other as a guest.And the Queen's feelings for His Majesty have been the same for decades.The Queen is His Majesty, and she is willing to expand the harem just to give His Majesty more children. She is really virtuous and virtuous, worthy of being the mother of a country!

The second picture: There are some little whores in the harem who are so young and beautiful that His Majesty is so happy that they don't know who they are. They ignore the palace rules and disrespect the Queen, and they know how to hook up with His Majesty every day.However, His Majesty is already busy with government affairs, so it's okay to have such a little fun. The queen can't bear to deprive her of it, so she endured it and watched these little sluts act like monsters!

When ordinary people hear this, they probably have already stood by the queen, and followed the queen to scold those harem concubines who don't know how to be polite, and said all the things that should not be said for the queen, but Shu Manhua just smiled and didn't mean to interrupt .

He knew that Empress Zongzheng wanted him to name Concubine Cao, but he just didn't like being led by the nose, and the topic of Concubine Cao should not be brought up by him.

Empress Zongzheng was a little surprised when she saw that Shumanhua was not taking over, but she didn't show any embarrassment. She asked the maid to continue tea and continued: "Now in the harem, Concubine Cao's strength is at the peak of the sky. She has won His Majesty's favor. The Fengzao Palace is full of people every day, and it is much more lively than the Changle Palace in this palace. Today I heard that she had an accident in the Imperial Garden, and the Ninth Prince was also there. I don't know what's going on, the servants can't speak, and they can't speak clearly in a few words."

Kou Ke, the servant can't tell whether it's false or not, Empress Zongzheng just wants to infer his attitude towards Concubine Cao from her own words.If he wanted to win him over, he had to see if he had any impression of Concubine Cao. If he didn't have any impression, then what she just said could play a role.

"I walked through the imperial garden in the morning and saw Concubine Cao surrounded by bees, and the palace people around her were helping her drive away. I don't know if Concubine Cao did something...not very good, Those bees only sting her and a few servants under her who seemed to be a bit domineering. The other palace servants came to help drive them away, but none of them were stung.

In the end, the father came and saw that Concubine Cao was stung so badly that her face was swollen, so she sent her back to the palace to be treated by the imperial physician, and said that she should not come out until she recovered.Presumably, father was frightened by that appearance, and he didn't want her to come out to scare people again.But as far as Erchen knows, the bee venom can vary from mild to severe, some bee venom disappears on its own within a day or two, but some take a while.Before that, Erchen also heard that someone stabbed a honeycomb and was stung to death by a bee.

Concubine Cao's condition seems to be more serious, it depends on whether the bee venom is severe or not, if it is severe, with so many stings so intensively, it will not be easy for the imperial doctor to save her life, her face will be ruined. "

Empress Zongzheng lowered her eyes and looked indifferently, showing no sign of gloating.If it weren't for what he said before, Shu Manhua might really think that this woman doesn't mind Concubine Cao's domineering and domineering concubine.

"However, I heard that Concubine Cao didn't show any signs of weakness after being stung, except her face was swollen. If her life was really in danger, why didn't she appear weak at all?"

"Bee venom is different from other toxins. It has the most obvious effect on the surface of the skin, but the deeper damage will take a certain amount of time to appear. It is estimated that it will not be until tonight at the latest. There should be a big movement on the side of the imperial physician."

The queen said calmly again: "Then the imperial physicians don't know about this situation? Maybe some effective measures can be taken before the deep damage of the bee venom occurs, and Concubine Cao will not be in any danger."

Shu Manhua shrugged, "I don't know if the imperial doctors know, but generally there won't be so many bees attacking a person so fiercely. Most of the time, only one or two bees are stung. The ointment will be fine. If Erchen hadn't

Knowing that the man who stung a beehive and was too unlucky to escape and was stung to death would not know that bee venom can be so powerful. □ Author gossip:
