The Palm Jade of the Red Chamber

This May seems to be hotter than in previous years. Everyone has basically changed into thin shirts. The imperial garden has already been blooming. Both the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine Xi are sick and unable to go to bed. This is for other women Said it was an opportunity.

It's a pity that they are all different. The old man in the palace smiled and saw the newcomer doing useless work, and didn't care about the status of the sick two people in the emperor's heart. Go up, what else can it be if it is not stupid? !

So within a few days after the imperial garden was full of flowers and branches, many women in the harem were imprisoned, and the harem that was not fully lively suddenly became quiet again. They also rested their minds and waited and watched first, and also prayed in their hearts that the two women would go there quickly, and they stood there watching heartbroken, and also took up their seats.

On this day, the imperial concubine, who was able to get out of bed a little bit, asked Ru Lan to dress herself up. The woman in the mirror was no longer as innocent as she was when she was young, and the years had left indifference on her face.

"Your Majesty, is this going to go out?" Ru Lan looked at the well-dressed imperial concubine, "It's fine to go out for a walk, Your Majesty has been bored in the room for a long time."

"I want to go to Changchun Palace." The imperial concubine said softly, looking at herself in the mirror.

Ru Lan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why: "Why does your empress want to go to Changchun Palace?" Doesn't her own empress hate Changchun Palace the most?Why is it that I just got out of bed and am about to go to the Changchun Palace?

"I used to think about how happy the women in the harem would be when I passed away one day. I still remember that when Empress Xiaozhaoren was alive, she once said to me, 'This harem is too lonely. One day you don’t even have a single person to argue with, then life is like stagnant water, but luckily there are still one or two people to talk to in this palace, what about you?” In the mirror, her face was pale with a little blue, her eyes were dull Full of tiredness, "Ru Lan, do you regret entering the palace with me?"

Ru Lan's hands paused for a moment, and then she combed the imperial concubine's hair, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her tone was brisk and cheerful: "The slave has long been used to being with the empress, if she didn't follow in to serve the empress, the slave would be outside the palace." How can I let it go, besides, the servants will only serve the empress."

When she was seven years old, she was brought in front of the empress by Ren Yazi, and the young empress pointed to her and said to Fujin, "Er Niang, I want her." From that day on, her life belonged to the empress.

The imperial concubine smiled and said nothing. After Rulan finished combing her hair, the imperial concubine held Rulan's hand and walked out of the gate of Chengqian Palace. The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling. She squinted her eyes. It took a while to get used to this brightness, the sky was still so blue, but she seemed like a lifetime away.

"Ru Lan, has Mother Dong tidied up all the warehouses? What about the shops and houses outside the palace? Those must be kept in good accounts, and they will all be handed over to Yinzuo in the future." Because I already know that my life is not long. , the imperial concubine has already started to prepare for the sixth elder brother, and she doesn't ask for anything else, she just hopes that Yinzuo can live better in the future.

"Nurse Dong has already made arrangements." Ru Lan lowered her head, her eyes blushing.

"That's good." She stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, and looked up at the sun, "It's getting late, and Concubine Xi is still awake at this time."

"My servant heard that Noble Concubine Xi seems to be seriously ill, as if she still can't get out of bed." Ru Lan's tone was cheerful, just like her master, she didn't like Concubine Xi from Changchun Palace at all. The master is because she has a lot of troubles, so she naturally wished that she would not be there.

"Really." The imperial concubine looked at the flowers and trees, and she chose to walk there, just wanting to see more colors in this world.

When the imperial concubine walked slowly to Changchun Palace, Daiyu was sitting on the bed reading a book of travel because the children had gone to class. The emperor was afraid that she would be bored, so he found a lot of interesting books for her.Daiyu felt a little regretful that the promised portrait had finally been entrusted to the present.

Daiyu was a little surprised by the arrival of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine sat on the chair beside the bed, looked at Daiyu, and there was an inexplicable silence between the two.

"You came here to sit like this?" Daiyu put down the book in her hand and asked.

The imperial concubine glanced at the cover of the book, saw that it was a travel diary, and couldn't help but sneer: "Grand concubine Xi read the travel diary leisurely, presumably yearning for a life outside the palace." People, I can't help but stab a few words when I meet them.

"The emperor is afraid that his courtiers and concubines will be bored and prepared a lot of travel notes. If the empress wants to know, it's okay to take them." Daiyu raised her eyebrows, wondering what the imperial concubine came to see her for.She didn't think she came here to block each other's hearts.

The imperial concubine watched Daiyu remain silent again, and she said to Rulan: "You go down first, I want to have a private conversation with Concubine Xi." She also said this to Daiyu, she wanted What I said to Daiyu, I didn't want others to hear it.

Daiyu nodded to Bailing, and asked her to take everyone down. Suddenly, there were only the two of them left in the room.

This was the first time the two of them were alone, and it really felt like an indescribable sense of wonder.

"You studied medicine since you were a child, so you think you can see my physical condition." The imperial concubine talked about her body in front of Daiyu indifferently, "How much time do you think I have?" She had a premonition It's only a month or two, and sometimes a woman's intuition really has to be believed.

"In the past, the emperor asked for the prescription from me. I'm afraid you really thought it was just a prank on you!" Daiyu didn't answer the imperial concubine's question, but instead brought up the bitter medicine that was a bit of a prank in the past. , Although it was intentionally to confuse her, those medicines were actually aimed at her body. Although there were not many ingredients, if you drink it for a year or two, you can live for at least a year or two.

By the way, Daiyu’s question is actually very guilty →_→

"Whether it works or not, it's your prescription. Do you think I'll drink it obediently!" The imperial concubine sneered, she didn't know, even if she knew, she wouldn't use that prescription, don't say goodbye Yes, it's just because they don't deal with it.

In fact, sometimes I think about it, if two people are not in such a position, maybe they can become friends.

"Then why did you come to me this time?"

"It's ridiculous to say that I have been against you for so many years, but now in this harem, the only person I trust is you." It's ridiculous, isn't it, she trusts her more than she trusts the emperor, "You don't need to go Take care of Yinzuo for me, just to help him when he is in trouble, that child Yinzuo is very kind and knows how to be grateful, he will remember your kindness to him." Tuogu, she put her most important The child is entrusted to the person he least likes.

Daiyu silently looked at the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine also looked at Daiyu, waiting for her answer.

"I won't harm him." She couldn't agree to this, she had three children to take care of, and Sixth Brother didn't have her as a adoptive mother, and his biological mother was still alive and kicking, so the emperor would naturally let his biological mother take care of him, so Said that Wu Yashi would take good care of the child if he disappeared like that, but the emperor would watch, so she didn't need to do anything.

"That's enough." The imperial concubine didn't get the promise she wanted, but the promise was enough.

There is no need for the imperial concubine to stay in Changchun Palace anymore, and she came here only for this matter: "I won't come again, I think we won't have many chances to see each other again." She walked away and walked to the door. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks without looking back. She said, "I will wait for you on the Naihe Bridge. I always feel that the time to meet you on the Naihe Bridge will not be too long." These words were like a curse. generally.

"It's a pity that I don't want to see you on the Naihe Bridge." Daiyu didn't care, but somehow felt that it was a bit strange for her to wait for her on the Naihe Bridge. The two had no friendship at all.

The imperial concubine smiled, said nothing more, opened the door, and left Changchun Palace with Rulan.

Bai Ling walked in and asked, "Your Majesty, what did the Empress Imperial Concubine say to you?"

"Irrelevant things." Daiyu picked up the travel notes again, where did she see just now?After this illness, my mind became unclear, and I forgot where I saw it after a long time.

Bailing didn't ask any more questions, and fanned Daiyu on the side, not too much, just to keep Daiyu from getting too hot.

"The sun is so dazzling!" The imperial concubine covered her eyes with her hands and sighed.

"I shouldn't have listened to my mother not to open the umbrella just now." Ru Lan was holding a handkerchief to fan the imperial concubine, whispering.

"I just miss the feeling of the sun shining on my body. It's warm, hot, and comfortable!" The imperial concubine smiled, "Ru Lan, while it's still early, I want to make a kiss for Yinzuo myself." Table food." While she was in better health, she wanted to do more for her children.

From the moment she fell ill, she already felt that this illness might not be good, so at that time, she was already making clothes for Yinzuo, four pieces a year, and she only made them. It's just clothes for the next year, but I don't know how tall the child will grow next year, and all the sizes are just expected.

It would be a pity if I couldn't wear it by then.

"Sixth elder brother must be very happy." Ru Lan said.

She is happy, she is also happy, she wants that child to smile more, she wants to remember his smile, that child's smile has always been very warm, that is the motivation for her to live until now.

"I'm afraid he didn't eat well when he came in, and he lost weight."

"The sixth elder brother will definitely eat up what the empress made, and he will be raised by the empress again in a short time."

"hope so!"

I hope he is well!
