As soon as I asked about the queen, everyone around me became quiet.
Kou'er was originally standing aside. At this time, the emperor asked her master that he had come, so he took a step forward without hesitation and said softly: "When you say the emperor, the queen is still resting."
"Still rest?"
Pei Yuanhao heard this and looked around, with a smile that was indescribable, and said, "She is more leisurely than us."
I thought about it and was about to come forward to tell her that the Empress had sent someone to send a gift, but before she could even speak anxiously, someone was standing up next to her, smiling and walking to Pei Yuanhao, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't blame the Empress. The Empress was not leisurely, but coughing all night, and it was just a little better now."
The one who spoke was Nangong Lizhu.
What I was going to say was choked in my throat and looked at her a little incredible.
She actually spoke to Chang Qing in front of Pei Yuanhao again.
If she happened to come in at the door of the Imperial Study room last time, then this time would be different. And how did she know that Chang Qing coughed all night and was getting better just now?
It seemed that Pei Yuanhao was also a little surprised and looked at her: "How did Zhu'er know?"
Nangong Lizhu smiled and said, "I came to visit the little princess with a few sisters. I was in Jingren Palace, so I should naturally pay my respects to the Empress first, so I found out."
"oh……"
Pei Yuanhao put one hand on the table and knocked slowly, with a hint of clarity on his face, and he slowly said, "I wronged her."
Nangong Lizhu smiled and said, "The emperor must have cut off too many cases, so even such small matters are cut off as the case."
Pei Yuanhao also laughed, looked at us, and said, "It's not that I have cut many cases, but that I have to cut too many cases."
This made everyone quieter.
The atmosphere became a little stiff for a moment.
In fact, they could see that I was not good at treating guests and had no intention of dealing with them. However, the emperor was here, and they probably couldn't bear to leave. After following another concubine behind Nangong Lizhu came over and gave Miaoyan gifts. Pei Yuanhao looked at her, as if it was the first time he had noticed her, and smiled and said, "Pin Hui's outfit today is bright."
I looked back and saw that she was wearing a brightly colored robe and had just stood behind Nangong Lizhu. She didn't feel that when she walked out at this time, she looked particularly eye-catching.
The Empress Hui turned red and said with a smile: "It's a good day today, and I'm wearing brighter clothes."
"I look at this material, it seems to look familiar."
"It was the batch that the emperor rewarded a few days ago."
"Oh," Pei Yuanhao nodded and turned to look at the concubines around him: "Why didn't you see you put on?"
Nangong Lizhu heard his question, but looked at me and Miaoyan again, and then smiled and said, "I'm still doing it."
"oh."
I didn't know why she looked at me, and she couldn't help but frown. Pei Yuanhao didn't feel anything. He turned to look at Concubine Ning again. When Yang Jinqiao saw him asking him, he smiled and said, "That satin is good, but the color is too bright, so I still keep it."
"What are you keeping it for? The color is bright, so you can't wear it?"
"yes."
Pei Yuanhao said: "Spring is coming soon. I will practice the ritual of farming this year. At that time, you must prepare well and don't lose your ritual."
Yang Jinqiao looked up at him: "The emperor will perform the personal farming ceremony this year."
"Um."
"Then, Queen..."
When I heard him, I saw Yang Jinqiao's hesitant look and immediately came to my senses. The etiquette of personally farming is an important etiquette of the Celestial Empire. Accompanied by the emperor's personal farming ceremony, and the empress's ritual of being a silkworm, these two etiquette activities are matched. However, when Pei Yuanhao said that just now, he did not mention the etiquette of being a silkworm, so Yang Jinqiao asked this question.
Pei Yuanhao looked back at her, and then looked at the direction of the queen's resting place. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "It depends on the queen's body. If her illness cannot recover, I will make another decision."
Several concubines looked at each other without speaking for a while.
Only the queen can practice the ceremony of silkworms. If the queen does not perform it, the ceremony of silkworms cannot be carried out naturally.
But, he said - make another decision?
Why does this sound a little wrong?
Not only did I think something was wrong, but even Yang Jinqiao, Liu Li and the others next to me felt something was wrong. Yang Jinqiao's face turned slightly pale. I saw her reaching out and pinching the hem of her clothes on her knees.
Just when everyone was a little dull and didn't know what to say, Nangong Lizhu next to him smiled and said, "I think that the Queen's illness is probably due to the heavy snowfall recently and the cold weather. As long as the spring warms up, the Queen's illness will naturally be cured without medicine."
Pei Yuanhao also smiled: "I hope so."
My heart was a little confused for a moment. Then they joked and I couldn't hear clearly and didn't care. But after a while, I saw Yang Jinqiao and the others standing up and saying goodbye to me.
I was also a little confused and sent them out.
Before leaving, the third prince Nian Rong, who was like a meat ball in the nurse's arms, suddenly started to yell. Her white and fat little hands tried hard to reach out to Miaoyan, as if she was trying to grab something, and she kept calling her "bag". After asking Wen Sisi, she realized that he was going to "hug". Pei Yuanhao was overjoyed and thought that it would be best for them to be so intimate, so he asked the child to come and hug Miaoyan, and asked Wen Sisi to bring the child to see me more often. I had no resistance to Wen Sisi, so I didn't agree.
When they all left, Pei Yuanhao turned his head and looked at me.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I also looked at him.
Compared to the concubines just now, the room was still a bit lively. When I faced him like this, I had nothing to say.
After a while of silence, he still walked back, looked down at Miaoyan, and said, "What are you planning to arrange for her birthday this year?"
"Nothing arranged?"
"How did you girls in Nishikawa celebrate their birthdays?"
“…”
I was silent for a moment. His words made me think back to the past, but suddenly I felt that the memories began to blur. After a while, I said softly: "There is nothing good, and ten years old is not an important birthday."
"oh?"
"But, the whole family has a meal together. Those who don't eat meat on weekdays will prescribe meat for their children that day."
“…”
"If the family is well, just make a new set of clothes for your child and buy some toys, that's fine."
"That's right."
"Children, it's better to feel less painful and give her more blessings in the future."
Pei Yuanhao heard this, was silent for a while, and said, "That's right."
"So," I said, "The empresses in the palace are so kind to her. Originally, the folk girls are not picky about it. But - the same thing, I love her less, I'm afraid it's better."
Pei Yuanhao didn't speak immediately this time, but turned around and looked at the box on the table, a box of books sent by Nangong Lizhu.
He was silent for a while and said, "Do you still mind the imperial concubine?"
I frowned slightly and turned to look at him.
Pei Yuanhao said: "Do you still have any grudges against the imperial concubine?"
I smiled and said, "It's not a grudge."
It was too light to say that it was a "treat" and that everything happened between Nangong Lizhu. How did she attack Li'er, who was still in her infancy in Dongzhou, which made us mother and daughter separate for many years; later, how did I drug me, and spent more than two years of imprisonment in the cold palace half-crazy; and after that, how did I do it step by step? Originally, Shen Rou was the first to make her fall out of the fetus in her belly by chance. One by one, if it was a "treat", then there would be no hatred in this world.
I can't do what Fu Badai said, I am not a saint, Nangong Lizhu is in front of me, I will not add up her swords, but if one day she falls into my hands, I may not be able to do anything that I dare not think of.
Looking at my smile, Pei Yuanhao seemed to believe me. After a while of silence, he said again: "Although she wants to educate Miaoyan, you will definitely not agree with this matter, but what I want to say is that she really loves Miaoyan."
“…”
"Maybe you don't know," he looked at me and said slowly, "For several nights, she dreamed of Miaoyan's name."
My brows frowned.
"I know that there have been so many things happening between you, but now, everything is over."
“…”
"The imperial concubine has already regretted it. She wants to change her past and love Miaoyan even more sincerely. I - you are here, of course I will not hand Miaoyan over to others. But when she comes to visit Miaoyan, she is sincere, and you should not be too petty."
Several deep folds broke out between my eyebrows.
Although the nameless fire in my heart almost burned as soon as he said it, at the end of his words, I was a little confused.
If people usually say and do whatever they say or do, they can hide or even act, but in dreams, they can't pretend.
When Nangong Lizhu was in his dream, he recited the name of Miaoyan?
I was a little nervous for a moment.
Pei Yuanhao opened the lid of the box and took a look, then said, "Even if the books here are useless, you can keep them first. It is the imperial concubine's intention."
“…”
I looked at him silently for a while, but didn't say anything.
Pei Yuanhao looked out the window again. The white snow scene was crystal clear, covering all the filth on the ground, and there was no ugliness. He slowly said, "I know that this harem will never be peaceful."
“…”
