[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes

"Brother Zhan, are you alright?" While Gongsun Junruo was giving Empress Dowager Li acupuncture to dredge the eye points, Meiniang approached Zhan Zhao and asked concerned, "Your complexion is ugly, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and thanked her in a low voice for her concern, but he never turned his eyes away from the Queen Mother, the gloom in his eyes continued unabated.

"The emperor's brother likes Miss Gongsun very much." Mei Niang said with a smile as she looked at a few people not far away.The sunlight at this time was not as dazzling as in summer, and it shone on the three of Empress Dowager Li, as if covering them with a light golden coat, and even Empress Dowager Li's silver hair looked much more luxurious.

Empress Dowager Li raised her face slightly, and asked Gongsun Junruo to give her acupuncture, she didn't even frown, she seemed to be enjoying it.If Gongsun Jun stood in front of her, he would not take his eyes off his eyes, and his hands never stopped. There seemed to be no unnecessary movements, only a martial arts practitioner could tell, but she changed several movements in a row in the blink of an eye.The emperor stood aside, looked at them both quietly, and sometimes said a few words of concern, asking Gongsun Jun if he was tired, if he should take a rest, and asking Queen Mother Li if her neck was sore, and if she wanted to help her.

What a harmonious and warm picture, no matter who approached rashly, it will break the tranquility.So everyone wisely chose to stand where they were.

The concern in the emperor's eyes is so real and natural. Although he cares about Liming and common people, Zhan Zhao knows that his concern for Gongsun Junruo is special at the moment.

That is not fraternity, but personal affection.

A personal favorite, the emperor's favorite, what kindness?I'm afraid it's what everyone dreams of.In the face of such feelings, can he contend?If the emperor mentions to Mr. Gongsun that he is interested in her...

Zhan Zhao felt that it was difficult for him to breathe, and every time he took a breath, his heart would be involved, causing a dull pain.

"I've never seen the emperor's brother look at someone with brilliance in his eyes. It's the first time I've seen it today." The smile on Mei Niang's face widened a little. There was no expression on his face, and he couldn't help but wonder how he was feeling at the moment.

Suddenly there were three more women in Kaifeng Mansion, and two of them were about the same age as her. Why did she not have a sense of crisis?Especially seeing that Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Junruo entered the palace together today, a woman's innate intuition made her wary of Gongsun Junruo.There is a saying that "the one who is close to the water gets the moon first", not to mention that Gongsun Junruo is the type of a gentleman no matter in terms of appearance or conduct, so she wants to explore Zhan Zhao's mind.

However, Zhan Zhao seemed to be indifferent after two visits... Could it be that she was being overwhelmed?

"Miss Gongsun doesn't talk much, and she is cold to people, but she is a good girl with a kind heart. Everyone who has come into contact with her likes her." This is a sincere appreciation, from an objective point of view.

"Then what about you?" Mei Niang looked at his profile, the sunlight was shining on his handsome face, the resolute lines, the thin lips, every turn of the face was so palpitating.Her heart was pounding, her breathing became cautious, but the question in her heart was still so strong that she wanted to come out, "What kind of existence is she in your eyes?"

Mei Niang's words were like a cloud of fog, spewing towards him, making his originally complicated emotions become more like entangled numbness, and he was constantly talking about it and still chaotic.

"Brother Zhan?" Seeing his solemn expression, Meiniang felt even more uncomfortable.

"I……"

"The servant sees the emperor." A father-in-law who came in suddenly interrupted the conversation between Meiniang and Zhan Zhao, and made Meiniang, who was eager to get an answer, feel uncomfortable for a while.The father-in-law felt two unfriendly eyes staring at him, raised his eyes and glanced quickly, ouch, hello!It's the princess!After all, he didn't offend her, so why was she staring at him angrily?

When the father-in-law saw the emperor motioning him to continue, he quickly explained the reason for coming.It is said that the master above him has a chest pain and is about to ask the emperor to accompany him.Before he finished speaking, another father-in-law came in. It was the eunuch next to Concubine Pang. He said that Concubine Pang was pregnant and vomited out all the food she ate. Seeing that she was almost unable to hold on, she came to report. up.

"Confused!" The queen mother slammed the handle of the chair and shouted, "Since Concubine Pang vomited so badly, why didn't she report it in time? If something happens to the grandson of the Ai family, I will take the lives of you dog servants to be buried with me!"

It was also thanks to Gongsun Junruo who finished the injection for her, otherwise she might have inserted it in the wrong place because of her movement.

"Queen mother, please calm down." The emperor persuaded with kind words.

All of a sudden, two father-in-laws came to invite them, and they were all concubines of the emperor. God knows how capricious those two concubines are. To be caught in such an embarrassing scene, the emperor really loses face.In the end, he chose to go to Concubine Pang who was pregnant. After all, the Dragonborn was the most important thing.Before leaving, he looked back at Gongsun Junruo with a complicated expression, but saw that she was earnestly giving the queen mother an injection as if nothing had happened.

The emperor sighed, and then went out. The father-in-law stared suspiciously at the leaving back of the emperor, always feeling that each of these people was more strange than the other.He glanced at Gongsun Junruo, then went back to his master in despair.

If you can't invite the emperor, you will naturally be scolded, hey!

So for the next few days, Gongsun Junruo would go in and out of the palace to treat Empress Dowager Li.Because she was a folk girl, and she was outstanding in appearance, the concubines and nobles in the palace knew that she was always in and out of the palace, and the emperor often went to the queen mother, so naturally many rumors came out.Several times, a few good concubines deliberately waited for her by the side of the road, asking her some difficult questions to see what she really thought.After all, they have seen this "sparrow turning into a phoenix" a lot, and there are so many women in the deep palace, right and wrong are like tangled twine, they can't figure it out no matter what, if there are more women, it means more The trouble is, it's hard to say whether it's an enemy or a friend, and the other party is not born of a high-ranking official. If they really fly on a branch and become a phoenix, where will they put the face of these famous daughters?Of course you have to guard against it!

Fortunately, Gongsun Junruo didn't talk much and kept his duty, so he didn't have much interest in the life in the palace, so after a long time, some gossip about her in the palace would be less, and she didn't care about it These things, doing her work seriously, listening to the empress dowager's nagging, she also occasionally responds a few times.After coming down several times, Queen Mother Li liked her more and more.

Zhan Zhao still escorted her in and out of the palace as usual, and the task of patrolling the streets was given to Ma Han by the Lord, so for him, he was responsible for protecting Gongsun Junruo's safety.It's not that he didn't hear Gongsun Junruo's unpleasant voice in the palace. At first, he was also angry at these out-of-the-box words, but Gongsun Junruo's calm attitude calmed him down.

Indeed, the person concerned is not in a hurry, so what is he in a hurry for?Those who are clear are self-clearing, and sometimes justifications become a burden, and they are said to be sophistry. It is better to do what you should do, and time will be the best explanation.So secretly, he appreciated Gongsun Junruo even more.

The Empress Dowager's eyes recovered very quickly. As long as the acupoints were opened and the medicine was given, it wouldn't be long before she could see.Now, she can already vaguely see the outline of the surrounding things.

Meiniang was both happy and anxious when she thought that the Queen Mother's eyesight would recover.I am happy that the queen mother can finally see the sun again, but it also means that Zhan Zhao will enter the palace much less often, and she will not be able to meet and talk with him like now.

After finally being able to meet, who would have thought that we would have to part in the end, how could she be reconciled?And the further back, the less and less Gongsun Junruo came to the palace. According to her, the later stage is just a stage of rest and recuperation. She will come back occasionally to check up and see how she is recovering.

It was like this for another half a month, and the situation of the Empress Dowager became better and better, and Gongsun Junruo entered the palace this time, and it was seven days ago since the last time he entered the palace.

Bending down, Gongsun Junruo carefully unwrapped the gauze wrapped around the Empress Dowager's eyes, washed off the medicine with the water brought by the maid, and let her open her eyes after she got used to the light outside the window.

"Queen Mother, my son is here to see you." Accompanied by a mellow voice, the emperor in a dragon robe stepped into the door.Seeing Gongsun Junruo who had just been examined by the queen mother, the exhaustion on his face disappeared, "Miss Gongsun, you are also here."

Song Renzong's expression changed so obviously that even the servants could see the difference in him.

"Emperor, haven't you changed your court clothes yet?"

The emperor suddenly looked at Empress Dowager Li, and seeing her smiling at him, her eyes shining brightly, he couldn't help shouting in surprise, "Mother, mother, you...can you see it?" His astonishment was beyond words. , holding the slightly trembling hand of the queen mother, everyone around was moved when they saw it.

"Yes, Aijia can see, and see very clearly." She paused, her voice raised, "Although Aijia's eyes couldn't see before, Aijia's heart is still very clear, don't think those Aijia doesn’t even know about the gossip and gossip, let alone think that Aijia doesn’t know who is behind the scenes, so as not to cause chaos in the world. Aijia’s eyes were cured by Miss Gongsun. To Aijia, Miss Gongsun is Aijia My benefactor, Aijia has seen a lot of people with ulterior motives, whoever dares to offend Miss Gongsun will have trouble with Aijia!"

Just after Queen Mother Li finished speaking, Concubine Pang appeared at the door in a dark red brocade suit. She entered the room with a smirk, fiddled with the phoenix hairpin on her head with one hand, and supported her waist with the other. Her belly bulged a lot under the brocade suit. Her figure has also become plump, but it is hard to hide her grace and luxury, "Mother, my concubine heard that you saw your eyes, and came to visit you immediately. Why did I hear you get angry before entering the house?" After the Empress Dowager was behind, he rubbed her shoulders, "Isn't it a great joy to have your eyes cured? According to my concubine's opinion, we should hold a banquet to treat Miss Gongsun well, and give her a big reward."

Empress Dowager Li sneered, "The Ai family thinks that as long as everyone in the harem keeps their mouths shut, it will be the best reward for Miss Gongsun."

Concubine Pang's smile froze on her face, and in a blink of an eye she still smiled apologetically and nodded in agreement.

"Mother, Miss Gongsun hasn't been around the palace since she entered the palace, why don't the concubine and the princess take her around together?"

"Yes, mother, Miss Gongsun came here to see a doctor for you, and then returned to Kaifeng Mansion after seeing her. We didn't treat her well. This is not the way to treat people." Hearing Concubine Pang's proposal, the emperor agreed very much. .

Empress Dowager Li pursed her lips and closed her eyes.She has just regained her eyesight, and she still feels a little sore after opening it for a long time, and needs more rest.She took Gongsun Junruo's hand and said, "It depends on Miss Gongsun's willingness. If she wants to visit the palace, she doesn't have to wait until today."

After all, he is someone who has been here, well-informed, and accurate in judging people, so he mentioned Gongsun Junruo in a few words and explained it clearly.Yes, if she is interested in this deep palace compound, why wait until today to see it?

She bowed slightly to Concubine Pang, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Concubine Pang, my brother is still waiting for Jun Ruo at the mansion, Jun Ruo dare not worry him."

Concubine Pang nodded in response, her tone seemed reluctance, but the light in her eyes was sharp, "In that case, I won't hold back any more, it's just a little gift, and I will send someone to Kaifeng Mansion in the future, which is also considered right." A little thank you."

After Gongsun Junruo thanked him, he left the Yongshou Palace with Zhan Zhao, but before he could go far, Mei Niang called to stop him.Mei Niang trotted up and stood in front of Gongsun Junruo, holding her chest and panting.

After staying in the palace for a long time, it is not like doing farm work to exercise her body like before. She is often served by maids and maids. Her physical strength is not as good as before, and she is out of breath after running for a while, and she is still in front of her sweetheart.

"Is there something the princess is in a hurry to come over?" Gongsun Junruo looked at her and asked calmly.

Mei Niang took a deep breath, straightened her back, and took Gongsun Junruo's arm, "Sister Gongsun, do you still think I'm the same Mei Niang when I didn't enter the palace?"
