Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 47 Adding Oil to the Fire ([-])

When mentioning her cousin, the queen had a calm expression, and said: "Whether you can be a concubine or not depends on everyone's fortune, whether it is a concubine or a change of clothes, it is the grace of the heavenly family, and the love of the emperor. "

"This time, I have added 24 sisters in total. I only hope that they can spread out the branches and leaves for the royal family and spread more children. I haven't seen many children in the palace. After all, I am less angry." Concubine Wen laughed.

"I passed by Xinyi Palace a few days ago, and I saw those younger sisters, all of them are of clear water, and they really look like they are old." Concubine Li Xian sighed with some sincerity.Xiu Nu had been selected more than half a month ago, and now they are all being taught by the nuns about palace rules and etiquette in Xinyi Palace.

"In less than half a month, the new class of show girls will start to serve the bed. I wonder if the Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared the green head card?" Concubine Wen said.

"There are still about ten days of etiquette training, why worry, it's just a small sign. It's not a short time." Concubine Ni lowered her eyes and smiled.

"In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you prepare or not, anyway, the first one will definitely be Sister Yubi." Concubine Li Xian joked.

Shi Rou'er blushed immediately.

"Sister, why should you be shy? You come from a famous family, so it's only natural to be favored." Concubine Li Xian comforted her.

"You sisters need to teach you more." Shi Rou'er lowered her head and said softly, gently and silently.

Seeing Shi Rou'er's embarrassed expression, the queen turned her head and looked at the kitten playing in the yard, and immediately said: "Sister Ni, this cat is really exquisite and cute. I originally wanted to raise one. Who knew I couldn't find a well-behaved and suitable one."

The concubines followed her gaze, and there was a little white cat jumping on a group of hydrangea flowers. Its chubby body looked no different from a pure white hydrangea, and it was very pleasing.

"Since the queen likes it, hurry up and take a look." Concubine Ni ordered to the palace people beside her, and then turned her head to smile at the concubines beside her: "This was not long after I entered the palace, when Jia Luo Kingdom paid tribute. The famous product, earlier the emperor saw the loneliness in my palace, and specially rewarded it."

Immediately, a serving maid came out of the pavilion and brought in the white cat that was playing at the side.

Naturally, the concubines flattered again, even praising the cat's delicacy and dexterity.

Su Mi looked at the cat, her round eyes moved nimbly, looking around, she couldn't help but like it for a while.

At this moment, the cat moved its nose, turned its head in the maid's arms, and suddenly looked in Su Mi's direction. Before Su Mi could react, the cat suddenly jumped out of the maid's arms, Su Mi threw herself on the head,

Su Mi was startled, the white cat had nimbly tapped on the table, and passed over Su Mi's head without a sound.

Su Mi didn't notice it, and was about to stand up, but she didn't prevent her skirt from being stepped on by the person next to her. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Before she could catch her breath, there was a "bang bang".

Su Mi tilted her head instinctively, a few hot pieces mixed with fragrant liquid, rubbed her cheeks, and poured on her body.

It was a few charcoal stones that were burning red, she couldn't help but screamed, she was wearing silk silk material, which was the easiest to catch fire, plus the sesame oil that fell together, she couldn't even think about it. .

Su Mi reacted quickly. She stretched out her hand and waved it. Her wide sleeves made a sound of wind. She threw the charcoal far away, but the sticky sesame oil was not blocked, and most of it flowed down her shoulders.

At this time, a round green object fell from the skirt, the cat still refused to give up, and threw itself on Su Mi, biting the round incense burner.The censer had been smashed to pieces, exposing a few pieces of burning coals inside.

The closed jasper incense burners in the palace are all designed like small winter stoves, with hot charcoal underneath and sesame oil on top, which can not only evaporate the aroma, but also be used as an incense burner, and also have the effect of heating the stove.Now that the weather is dry, if the thoroughly burned charcoal touches the clothes, there is no reason not to burn them immediately. Luckily, Su Mi was quick to shake off the charcoal, so that only one piece of clothing was stained That's all.

Before Su Mi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, the mutation happened again.

Shi Rou'er screamed and stood up, raised her arm, and a small stove next to her for cooking tea fell down, and the red charcoal inside was scattered all over.

Su Mi hurriedly dodged, but Shi Rou'er's legs were blocking her back, making it impossible for her to dodge completely. A few coals fell on Su Mi's side shoulders, and the few sparks that were originally burning on the clothes The stick burned immediately, and the sticky and harmless sesame oil immediately turned into a poisonous snake, as if a scalding hot stream burned to the neck at the same time.

The concubines screamed in shock.

Su Mi glanced over the table quickly, picked up the hand washing water beside her and poured it on her body, and the flame was extinguished in an instant.At this moment, Su Mi only felt pain from the side cheeks and neck to the collarbone, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off.

The concubine was already stunned by the drastic changes she saw, and Concubine Ni's face turned green.

Su Mi reluctantly got up, she didn't dare to touch her neck, she knew that there must be a layer of blisters and dirt on it.Enduring the severe pain, she loosened the skirt around her neck, keeping it away from her skin.

Shi Rou'er looked at Su Mi's face, the look of complacency in her eyes was fleeting, she shouted loudly: "Quickly ask the emperor to come here, Lian Jieyu is not well."

Su Mi raised her head and gave Shi Rou'er a hard look, and without being polite, she shouted to the palace attendant next to her, "Send the imperial physician quickly!"

Only then did the surrounding palace people react, stood up in panic, and ran outside.

All the concubines stared at Su Mi's profile in astonishment, and then they came to their senses and gathered around one after another. They clearly said comforting words, but even the deaf could hear the schadenfreude.

Su Mi hated secretly, her body was in unbearable pain, and she had no intention of dealing with such hypocrisy, so she turned her head and asked Concubine Ni, "Is there any vacant room here, Madam?"

As soon as he sat down on the couch in the side hall, the imperial physician rushed over and saw the scene of stains all over Su Mi's body, he shivered in fright.

"What's the matter?" the queen asked with concern.

The imperial doctor looked at it carefully and said: "Fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time. Madam Jieyu, these are all skin injuries, but the burns are very serious. The burns on her face were just rubbed by burning coals. It is not a serious problem, as long as you use it Fire analgesic ointment can be restored to its original state in three to five days without leaving any traces. But the injury on this shoulder..."

"How is it?" Shi Rou'er next to her asked hastily.

Before the imperial doctor had time to speak, the little eunuch at the door sang loudly: "The emperor is here!" It was Qi Long who heard the news and rushed over.
