Chapter 418, a generous little rice cake
Hui Li's death did not cause too many troubles in the palace. Even the Liuyue Kaiyun Palace was as usual. The queen considered it for a few days and at the suggestion of Hu Zhongliang, she promoted Lan Ze from the second-class palace maids, and Lan Pei was appointed as the first-class palace maid.
Hu Zhongliang sternly advised all the palace maids and eunuchs not to cause trouble, and just concentrate on serving the master's empress, and did not talk much about the rest, especially the Bitong Academy, who was not allowed to mention it in front of the master's empress, so as not to make the empress angry.
In this way, the Palace of Kaiyun was much more peaceful.
It was already November in a blink of an eye. Yao Jiaxin was wearing a fox fur and holding a warm stove in her hand, tilting lazily on the beauty couch.
On two chairs below, Concubine Yu and Concubine Ning, who were assisting in the Six Palaces, were drinking all over the hot milk tea, and their faces were getting better. "I don't know that I am not sure. This morning, I went to the Luoyue Kaiyun Hall to pay my respects, but I was left outside the hall for half an hour. Hu Zhongliang came out and said that the queen was unwell and could not meet the concubines today!"
As he said that, Concubine Ning lifted the teacup heavily on the table, and was so angry that she was so angry that she was not afraid of her.
Concubine Yu had a good temper and smiled: "Sister Ning calmed down. You could clearly hear the queen coughing outside the hall, so it must be that her condition had worsened."
Concubine Ning rubbed her still stiff hands and curled her lips, "Our queen, obviously, is so skewed, why don't she calm down?"
Although Concubine Ning complained so badly, she did not rudely when she was Kaiyun Hall. Instead, Concubine Qi...
Concubine Ning raised her lips, "Before just now, Concubine Qi looked at Hu Zhongliang, and said, "The Empress is incompatible, I will not dare to disturb you in the future." Then she left! Look at that, I don't plan to pay my respects in the future!"
Yao Jiaxin smiled. Concubine Qi was indeed so kind. She hurriedly asked, "What? Did the queen not give up the concubines to pay their respects?"
Concubine Yu smiled gently, without any anger. "I and Concubine Ning's sister asked Eunuch Hu just now, but they didn't give me the right words."
Concubine Ning snorted coldly: "The Empress is afraid she will improve in two days!"
Yao Jiaxin pursed the corner of her lips. The queen's body was completely damaged. She could not work hard, but the queen not only worked hard, but also secretly used banned medicine to support her body. This made her body even more deficient. In addition, the dampness and coldness in the garden - the environment of the Old Summer Palace is indeed not suitable for the queen to recuperate.
"By the way, I heard that Dunpin has recovered from illness. Can she stay in the Kaiyun Palace for treatment today?" Yao Jiaxin asked casually.
Concubine Ning curled her lips, "What a delicate body Dunpin is, how could she ask for trouble? She was sick because she was sick for the queen and she had been sick for more than half a month!"
Yes, I can’t sleep when I’m sick.
Concubine Ning snorted again: "But she left a 8-tall Korean ginseng!"
Seven liang is ginseng, and eight liang is treasure. Although the northeast also pays tribute to the wild ginseng of Changbai Mountain, ginseng with a size of eight liang is also very rare in the palace. The Changbai Mountain system belongs to the tribute forest, and outsiders are prohibited from entering the mountains to collect ginseng, so the best ginseng outside is this Korean ginseng.
The eight-two-fold Korean ginseng - the small rice cake is really generous.
Concubine Ning added: "It is said that her parents' home sent her to the palace to repair her body!"
Yao Jiaxin smiled, "The family has been rich in books for generations, and the furniture is quite expensive. What is a piece of eight-two old ginseng?"
Although Concubine Ning was already warm, her face was already cold and cold. "Pin Dun is hard, so it should be taught her a lesson!"
Concubine Yu smiled and said, "Sister, please calm down. The Empress has invited a concubine for Nian. Nian's reward for Goryeo is nothing."
Yao Jiaxin read a lotus seed cake on the plate and ate it. The lotus seed cake was made of the Xianglian lotus seeds from this autumn, boiled and mashed into a paste, added agar and sugar osmanthus. It was specially cut into small pieces and placed into a lotus shape. It was really beautiful and delicious.
Yao Jiaxin glanced at the scorching red charcoal in the charcoal basin and said quietly: "I am pregnant and can't work hard. You two have to care about this palace affairs. Since the queen is sick, don't treat it badly. You can pick up any good things and send them to the moon and the clouds with great fanfare."
Concubine Ning and Concubine Yu naturally understood these principles and quickly responded in unison "Yes".
Concubine Yu smiled and said, "After the Golden Festival and the Birthday Festival, I will be more relaxed this month. But the queen is seriously ill, and I wonder if she wants to arrange someone to serve her sick?"
Yao Jiaxin pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Since the Queen has pointed out that the Nian family has been serving the disease before, let's not worry."
As he was speaking, Wang Yicheng quickly stepped in and reported: "Empress, Concubine Qi is asking for a meeting!"
Yao Jiaxin was stunned. If Concubine Qi was willing to come to pay tribute, she would have come with Concubine Ning and Concubine Yu. Why did this time suddenly come?
Wang Yicheng whispered: "Empress Qi's face is very bad."
"Let her come in." Concubine Qi has been very respectful to her recently, so Yao Jiaxin naturally would not let her go.
I saw Concubine Qi unable to hide her anger, and she stepped quickly and entered the hall, covering her chills outside, her old face almost freezing. She suppressed her anger and bent her knees, "I have seen the Concubine!"
Yao Jiaxin, Concubine Qi, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Qi?"
Concubine Qi said angrily: "Just just now, the queen sent Hu Zhongliang to Feng He, a concubine's Quyuan, and issued an imperial edict to let Huaike enter the palace to serve the disease!"
"Ah?" Yao Jiaxin was stunned. She didn't expect that the queen would be seriously ill and could still make such a mess!
However, the queen's request, in terms of etiquette, also has some truth. The queen is the legitimate mother of all princes and princesses. As a daughter, serving the sick for her mother is the duty of the younger generation. The only inappropriate thing is that Princess Huaike has already married, according to ancient etiquette: the water splashed by her daughter after she gets married.
Concubine Yu frowned slightly, and a displeasure appeared on her fat and fat face: "The eldest princess is already the daughter-in-law of the Fucha family. She wants to take care of her husband and children and take care of her parents-in-law! She serves as the queen and should not choose a married princess."
"Isn't that true!" Concubine Qi stomped her feet and immediately felt a little fond of Concubine Yu. "Qing'er is still young and cannot do without her biological mother! Besides, it's so cold that it's so cold. If she enters the palace to serve the disease every day, this is just a tossing! "
Yao Jiaxin smiled. Didn’t the queen just want to deliberately torture Princess Gulun Huaike?
Concubine Ning pondered for a moment, "Sister Guifei, why not ask Concubine Dun to serve the disease."
Yao Jiaxin shook her head: "Pin Dun has just recovered from illness. The queen just needs to say that Pin Dun is weak and sickly. She can't bear to have a sickness, so we can't force it."
Concubine Qi became even more angry: "Dunpin Dun is so delicate, should my Huaike work hard and get sick?!"
Concubine Ning teased and said, "Or, Concubine Qi, please go and serve him! In this way, the eldest princess won't have to work hard."
After hearing this, Concubine Qi glared at Concubine Ning fiercely. Obviously, Concubine Qi was not happy to look at the queen's old face.
Yao Jiaxin didn’t have a good idea for this, “Although Concubine Ning’s idea is not the best, it seems that it is the only feasible method right now.”
