Golden branches and jade leaves
Chapter 7
Chapter 7
The winter wind blows like cold, but the warm pavilion is as warm as spring.
Su Mi shook the cloak lightly, and the snowflakes attached to the blue satin surface fell down lightly and softly.
Mi Qing, who was serving at the side, helped Su Mi untie the cloak, and shouted into the room: "Mi Hong, the master is back, hurry up and bring the heated hand stove, this hand stove is already cold."
"In fact, everyone knows that the master is not in good health. He often doesn't even go to the emperor's summons. Why do you go to Fengyi Palace every day to meet the empress? Tell the emperor and ask for a leave." Mi Qing tidied up The cloak, he said.
"Serving the queen is my etiquette as a maid and concubine. How can I ignore it lightly? Now that my position in the harem is not stable, how can I continue to be honest about these details and provoke criticism." Su Mi replied casually. Return from the queen.
"Master, the emperor's reward has arrived again. A pair of ruby rice bead chime hairpins, a pair of emerald emerald inlaid pearl Suihan Sanyou bead flowers, and a thousand-year-old ginseng. According to Eunuch Gao, it was just a tribute from Koryo, and it is specially given to you." I came here to make up for the master, I looked at it, and it’s terrible, the boss’s ginseng beard, I feel refreshed after smelling it.” Mi Hong came out, holding a hand stove in her hand, beaming Said, "The emperor is really considerate to the master. He just got promoted a few days ago and agreed. Yinuservant sees that the master will be promoted again in a few days."
Su Mi smiled and said nothing, today Qi Long has already mentioned the matter of promoting her again, but she politely refused, she replied respectfully: "The emperor has no repayment for Su Mi's kindness, Su Mi came from a humble background, It might be against the ancestral system to be promoted too quickly, if Su Mi alone caused discord in the harem, wouldn't it be Su Mi's fault."
Qi Long praised her for her humility, and felt that she was more virtuous and knowledgeable.
"It's a pity that the master is weak and often falls ill. Every time the emperor summons him two or three times, he will only be able to go once. Otherwise, he should be on the same side as Liu Liangren." Mi Hong sighed, "Liu Liangren can't compare to the master's in appearance. ..."
"Okay, okay, I haven't finished the work yet, so I'm talking about the master here," Miqing interrupted her, "I'm just talking here, have you packed yesterday's things? Hurry up and clean the stove." Be prosperous."
Mi Hong stuck out her tongue towards Mi Qing, and ran away.
The end of the new year is approaching, and it has been a month since Su Mi was favored. This month, Liu Qiyan is extremely favored, almost no worse than Concubine Yun, and in terms of status, she was promoted to be a beloved just yesterday.
And Su Mi has been controlling the number of times she receives pets on the grounds that she is weak and sick.
In the past month, except for the high-status concubines such as the Empress and Concubine Ni, and Concubine Wen with Emperor Ji, the emperor would go there once or twice a month, and the rest of the time he would call the concubines to sleep in the Ganlu Palace. .Among them, Concubine Yun is still the most favored, but she is no longer the one who is looked at by Liu Gong, no one can match her, and then Liu Qiyan, and then her.
With Concubine Yun's slightly diminished but still brilliant brilliance and Liu Qiyan's glory of being favored by a young man, Su Mi's favor will not be so eye-catching.
Just after taking a sip of the hot tea served by Mi Qing, Xiao Luzi outside reported that Mr. Liu Liang had arrived,
Su Mi was slightly taken aback.How did she come here?
When we met in Fengyi Palace these days, Qiyan often wanted to get close to Su Mi, but every time Su Mi calmed her down and changed the subject calmly.The two of them are humble and favored, and they are already thorns in the eyes of the concubines. If they behave intimately again, they will arouse others' wariness.Moreover, Ni Yelin obviously intended to win over Qiyan, she and the Ni family had a deep feud, and seeing Concubine Ni trying to bear it on the surface, of course she would not feel too comfortable in her heart.
"Please come in." Su Mi stood up and greeted her.
The curtain was raised, and Qi Yan walked in.
On her head is a phoenix step rock with dots of emerald and inlaid beads, the pearls are shining brightly, she is wearing a snow-white silver fox fur cloak, the silver light is separated, the lower edge reveals a dark red dark flower silk satin pleated skirt, her small face is flushed with cold , is extraordinarily lovable.
This outfit was bestowed by the emperor, and she put it on so quickly.
"Early in the morning, how come my beloved sister is free?" Su Mi smiled gently, with the most standard smile that a concubine treats sisters in the palace.
"Sister..." Qi Yan originally had a lot to say, but when she saw Su Mi's smile, she couldn't speak at all, and suddenly murmured, not knowing what to say.
She looked at Su Mi, her big eyes were watery, she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Su Mi suddenly had a headache, she obviously didn't say anything serious, she should stop crying here.
"My sister is blaming me. It was supposed to be my sister's chance. I gave her my chance..." Qi Yan grabbed Su Mi's sleeve and finally said, "Sister, don't blame me, okay? Go and explain to the emperor..." She looked at Su Mi expectantly.
Su Mi was in a trance for a while, and there was a person who, every time she did something wrong, would look at her like this: "Ah Mi, please forgive me, or I will give you my pearl necklace, and the one I secretly set aside yesterday. Chestnut cake, how about today's share..." Facing those innocent eyes, I would always soften my heart after not holding on for long, and then enjoy the snacks I got with confidence.
But in a blink of an eye, the fragrance has disappeared, the heaven and man have been separated forever, and the world is really like a dream.
"Qi Yan has only spoken a few words to my sister since she entered the palace, if she ignores me..." Without Su Mi's response, Qi Yan became more and more anxious, and didn't know what to say.Although she has been staying in Bibochi since entering the palace and has nothing to do with the world, but as a 14-year-old girl, she suddenly left the love of her parents and stepped into the unknown deep palace alone. It can be regarded as a friend in "adversity", and since then, there has been a real affection.After being favored, I don't know whether it's joy or sorrow. Although there are many people who flatter me, it's hard for anyone to tell the truth.You Qi was hit by Concubine Yun again, which made her tremble and panic all day long.Seeing Su Mi again, but Su Mi ignored her again, and felt even more uncomfortable, until today she finally couldn't help running over to find Su Mi.
"No, silly child," Su Mi felt disappointed, "I didn't blame you." How could she blame her for this kind of thing, she just didn't want to show any emotion other than hatred in this cold palace.
Finally hearing what Su Mi said, Qi Yan couldn't help crying "Wow".
Su Mi felt that her head really started to hurt.
After a while of fuss, the table was filled with pastries of various colors.
Su Mi knew that she was still a child at heart, so she had no choice but to persuade her gently, while swearing that she would never get angry again.
Looking for Qingzhi to take out all kinds of fashionable pastries, set them up, and retreated.
"Sister, there are so many delicious foods here." Finally, she said what she wanted to say, and cried when she wanted to cry, Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and after persuading her, she quickly returned to her smile.
"Just as long as you like it." Su Mi unknowingly picked up a piece of shredded grape meat for her. This kind of snack is made by first picking out ripe and large grapes, removing the seeds and replacing them with fresh small dried meat, and then marinating them with honey and fruit oil. It was originally Wei Qinger's favorite food.
Qi Yan happily took it, took a bite, suddenly frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, took another small bite, and swallowed it reluctantly.His face turned pale for a while, as if he was about to vomit.
"My sister's cooking is delicious." Qi Yan put it down with a dry smile, "I used to like to eat this, but I have a bad appetite in the past few days, and I feel like vomiting when I eat these things."
Su Mi suddenly became suspicious.She picked up another piece of pastry and said, "If I knew my sister didn't like sweets, I might as well try this. It's pickled with small tribute oranges newly brought in from the south. It's sour and sweet, very delicious."
"I used to like it very much, but recently I don't know if it's because I ate too much or something else. I feel sick when I eat something greasy." Qi Yan took it and ate it while talking, and the taste was as expected Refreshing, I couldn't help picking up a few more pieces.
Seeing this, Su Mi became even more puzzled, she stretched out her hand to grab Qi Yan's wrist affectionately, and said, "My younger sister lives in Xifu Palace, I don't know how Ni Guifei treats my younger sister?"
"Your Majesty is very nice. She often rewards Qiyan with things. A few days ago it was Suzhou embroidery material, and a few days ago it was Yangzhou snacks..." Qiyan said.
"Since my sister has a bad appetite these days, has she seen the imperial doctor?"
"No, not long ago, the imperial concubine had a headache again. The imperial doctor Chen who is in charge of Xifu Palace has been very busy recently, so he hasn't come to check Qiyan's pulse these days. Qiyan said while eating candied tribute oranges.
really!
Just now Su Mi took her pulse while holding hands, and she already noticed it.This silly girl, she didn't even know that she was pregnant.
Is this good or bad for her?Maybe without the child, she could live longer, Su Mi stared at Qi Yan in a daze.
"Sister, sister," Qiyan asked, "what's the matter?"
"No..." Su Mi lowered her eyes.
Qi Yan talked about the daily routine again with great interest.Speaking of her family, they were very happy when they heard that she was favored and promoted.
"I heard that my father is going to donate an official in the spring. Anyway, I have a legitimate background."
There is a difference between high and low!
There is a clear distinction between the Daqi gentry and the common people.Daughters of officials and daughters of ordinary people are treated very differently in the palace. The daughters of officials and noble families who are drafted, even if they cannot become concubines and become palace maids, they are still serving nobles as female officials. Once they reach the age, they can be released from the palace. Go get married yourself.Most of the daughters of the common people of the common people are low-level servants in the palace, and only a very few lucky ones will be named concubines, or promoted to high-grade female officials because of their ability to serve.
Moreover, the ancestral system stipulates that court ladies of commoner origin can only be promoted to concubines step by step, and they cannot skip the rank unless they have made great contributions (giving birth to an heir, etc.).Like her and Qiyan, they can only start from the final dressing.However, if a female official from a family of officials and eunuchs is favored by the emperor, this is not the case.
If Qiyan's father had an official position, even if it was the last grade of sesame and mung bean official, her worth would immediately be fundamentally different.According to her favor a few days ago, she might have been promoted to concubine long ago.
"Have you ever told anyone else about this?"
"I've said it, I mentioned it when I visited some empresses a few days ago."
No wonder Concubine Ni Gui was so impatient.Su Mi couldn't help smiling wryly.
The two talked for a while, seeing that Qi Yan was also a little tired, Su Mi sent her back.
"Master, don't you also have the emerald-embedded beaded Phoenix Buyao and the silver fox cloak, why don't you want to wear them?" Seeing that Qiyan had left, Mi Hong couldn't help asking: "Master, you are so beautiful, if you can wear it again Dress up well..."
Emerald Emerald Inlaid Beads Phoenix Bu Yao, using gold thread as the base, decorated with kingfisher feathers, the eyes and mouth are inlaid with rubies and black pearls, and red coral beads are inlaid on both sides.The two strings of small pendants held in the sharp little mouth are made of small gourds carved from emeralds.The whole Bu Yao is light and unique, gorgeous and elegant, but the Bu Yao can only be used by a concubine or above.
White foxes are rare in the first place, and silver foxes are the best among white foxes. They are famous all over the world for their soft, smooth fur and brilliance. They can only grow in extremely cold places in the Liao Kingdom. They are as fast as the wind, cunning and alert , is extremely difficult to catch.A few days ago, tribes from the Liao Kingdom outside the Great Wall came to pay tribute and presented six silver fox fur cloaks, all of which Qi Taki gave to the harem.
Just now, Su Mi has the same outfit as Qi Yan, and she doesn't lack everything, but she never wears it.
"Okay, Mi Hong, those things, how can I afford them in my position." Su Mi interrupted her.
Yuci Buyao, silver fox cloak, father appointed an official, pregnant with an imperial heir, no wonder Concubine Ni can bear it, but she doesn't know when to do it, so dragging the imperial doctor like this will definitely not last long, I'm afraid it will only be in the next few days.
Su Mi stood up, "Mi Qing, go to the Tai Hospital and say that I'm not in good spirits these days, and ask the Tai Hospital for some soothing medicine."
"Master is not feeling well? Why don't I ask the imperial physician to come and have a look?" Mi Qing asked
"No need, it's just an old problem, and the medicine is also commonly taken in the old days. I'll write you the prescription later." Su Mi said, with a kind of desolation in her voice.
Mi Qing wanted to say something more, but seeing Su Mi's pale face and tired look, she didn't dare to say anything more, and went into the back room after serving Su Mi.
In the middle of the night, Su Mi dismissed everyone and stayed alone in the room.
She picked up the medicinal materials that she just brought today, and then took out a few flavors that she withheld from the medicine that Wei Qing'er used to take.According to the prescription in memory, carefully prepare it.
It wasn't until midnight that the pills were ready, and she took out the jade box and carefully put them in.
"The next step will depend on you."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped on December [-]th. Early in the morning, the empress ordered someone to send a message that she was going to invite concubines from all palaces to Fengyi Palace to enjoy the snow and drink tea.
Su Mi got up early in the morning, took a shower, changed clothes, and dressed up.
"Master, don't you need the set of jewelry that the emperor gave you a few days ago?" Mi Hong couldn't help asking.
"No, just take that set of wishful hairpins." Su Mi said, turning her head to Mi Qing who was behind her, "comb the usual flying swallow bun."
She was wearing an elegant light green cotton skirt with gold color embroidery, a small ermine jacket, and embroidered shoes with flowerpot bottoms for snowy days. After tidying up, Mi Hong shook out the silver fox fur cloak .
"Why did you take this dress out? Put it back quickly, the master can't wear it again." Mi Qing said, she has a calm temperament, she knows Su Mi's unwillingness to make public, and she deeply agrees in her heart.
"It's a pity not to wear such a good thing and leave it for nothing. Didn't Mr. Liu Liang also wear it a few days ago?" Mi Hong turned to Su Mi aggrievedly.
Su Mi gave her a blank look, and was too lazy to say anything, this girl has a good heart, but she is too naive.Mi Hong didn't dare to say any more, she obediently took it in and changed it into the one Su Mi was used to wearing.
Mi Qing put on a cloak for Su Mi, looked at the sky outside, couldn't help slowing down, and said: "Master, it's better to change to a thicker one, the weather is too cold, and the master is weak, this bomb The cloak of ink flower silk and blue satin really can't cover much wind, and it seems that the weather won't be sunny for much of the time."
The sky outside is still gloomy, and it seems that snowflakes will continue to fall at any time.
"Alright." Su Mi looked at the sky and said.
Mi Qing hurriedly fetched a thick autumn-colored feather satin and changed it.
At the gate of Fengyi Palace, Su Mi got out of the chariot, looking at the carriages outside the gate, it was already quite a lot.
Before entering the door, I happened to see the chariot of Concubine Ni Gui from Xifu Palace arriving.When the curtain of the car was lifted, it was Qi Yan who jumped down.Seeing Su Mi, Qi Yan happily ran over and took Su Mi's hand affectionately, "Sister is here too."
She turned out to be the frame of Concubine Ni Gui. It seems that Concubine Ni has done a good job on the surface.
"The relationship between Su Ying and Liu Liangren is really good." Concubine Ni also got out of the car and laughed beside her.
"I'm making your empress laugh." Su Mi saluted respectfully and replied.
"It's too late for me to be envious, how can I laugh at you? Su promised to speak out, which is not as straightforward and cute as Sister Qiyan." Ni Guifei gently covered her mouth with a brocade handkerchief and smiled delicately.
"The empress is respected, Su Mi is humble, etiquette dare not be abolished." Su Mi bowed her head.
"They're all sisters of my own family, why bother to be so polite. Speaking of which, it's really rare to see such a lovable beauty in the palace. The first time I see this, I can't help but treat myself like my own sister." Concubine Ni shook her hand and said again .
The palace servants watched them from afar and hurriedly greeted them, led them into Fengyi Palace, passed through several corridors, turned to the back garden, it turned out that today's small banquet was held in a pavilion.
The pavilion, which was originally empty on all sides, has now been surrounded with shark bead yarn.Shark bead yarn is made of a kind of seabed plant collected from the East China Sea, mixed with silver thread and silk. It is soft and dense, hard to wet in water, and like smoke, almost transparent, because it is similar to the legendary shark bead yarn. It is similar, and has the same color as pearls, so it is called shark bead yarn, and some are directly called shark silk.
Several people walked into the pavilion while talking and laughing.
As soon as you enter the pavilion, you will be greeted with hot air and the fragrance of flowers. In the courtyard is a gold-inlaid enamel vase filled with freshly folded half-blossom plum blossoms. There are more than a dozen seats around it. There are white fox fur mattresses and colorful embroidered backrests and pillows. In front of each seat is a gilded tower-style small heater, which is warm and pleasant. The pavilion is surrounded by shark bead gauze, so that the cold does not invade. Looking from the inside to the outside, it seems like a It is generally transparent, and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful snow scenery in the garden.Everyone took off their cloaks and sat down one after another. Su Mi took a glance and found that all the concubines who came here today were high-ranking or favored concubines.
After a while, the queen also arrived, and everyone got up to salute.
"Excuse me," the queen said with a smile as she untied the gold-painted satin cloak with golden phoenix patterns on a red background, "Yesterday, my father got a kind of 'white jade green frost' which is rare in tea from southern Xinjiang. ’, in addition to offering it to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, there was some left over, which was sent to Fengyi Palace. I think today is a good day, so why not share it with all the sisters.”
White jade green frost!
Sure enough, it is a rare and rare product. The tea trees of Qingshuang tea can only grow on the high mountain cliffs with abundant water resources. Sapphire, as blue as frost, is a rare treasure in tea. Among them, the tea leaves produced by tea trees that have reached hundreds of years old will turn white on the head, and become a unique tea treasure, called "white jade green". Frost".
The most rare thing is that to meet the conditions for its growth, it can only be found in the extreme southern mountainous areas of Lingnan, which are all within the territory of Nanchen. Now Nanchen and Daqi are at war.
Only the Wang family, which was born as a queen, can get it from a noble family that has stood firm for more than a hundred years, a wealthy family and aristocrats.
The concubines were naturally flattered, but many concubines said, "It's an honor to taste this tea, how honored it is...", but there was suspicion in their eyes. I am afraid that many people don't know this "white jade and green frost" at all. "The history.
The Empress turned to Concubine Yun and said with a smile: "The Emperor has always praised Sister Yun as a talented woman with a lot of knowledge, but I am going to test you. Do you know the origin of this tea?"
"Yes, the concubine's poor knowledge made her laugh," Concubine Yun replied respectfully, she naturally understood what the queen meant, "As far as I know, this white jade and green frost..."
Listening to Concubine Yun's eloquence, the concubines suddenly realized, and naturally they continued to flatter.Even Concubine Ni Gui was full of praise, which made the queen a little surprised and gave her an extra look.
A maidservant came forward to set up the tea set and began to cook the tea carefully. The concubines started gossiping about their daily affairs. All of a sudden, there were endless cheers and laughter in the pavilion.
After staying for more than half an hour, the tea was almost used up, and Concubine Ni said: "The ancestors often said that tasting tea and admiring flowers is an elegant thing in the world. Today, seeing the beautiful scenery in the queen's courtyard, why not go to the sisters to enjoy it together?" Enjoy the plum blossoms in the garden."
Everyone clapped their hands in agreement, and the queen also laughed, "It's rare that you have such thoughts, and today I will be the host."
All the concubines got up one after another, picked up the coats around them and put them on.
"Hey, where's my cloak?" Concubine Yun suddenly asked in surprise.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Concubine Ni Gui came up and asked calmly.
"Ah!" Qi Yan next to her exclaimed, covering her cherry lips with a look of panic.
"It's me... no... the maid and concubine wore the wrong clothes." She looked at the crowd timidly and lowered her head.She and Concubine Yun are wearing the same cloak of silver fox fur given by the emperor today.
"Hmph!" Concubine Yun snorted heavily.
Qi Yan trembled in fright, since she was beaten up by Concubine Yun, she was very afraid of her.Since she was a child, she has been the daughter of heaven in her family, and her parents hold her in the palm of her hand. She has never suffered that kind of hardship.
"Sister is so careless." Su Mi stepped forward and said, while helping Qi Yan who was already stunned to take off her cloak, she gently pushed her.
Qiyan just woke up like a dream, and quickly knelt down and said, "It's the concubine's carelessness. The concubine knew she was wrong, and I hope that the empress will forgive her. I will definitely take this as a warning in the future and dare not do it again."
"Careless? Can the rules in the palace be overcome by a word of carelessness?" Concubine Yun angrily took the cloak from Su Mi.She had always disliked Qiyan, but seeing her wearing the same imperial cloak added fuel to the flames. She was very clear about the preciousness of this silver fox fur cloak. When did she become as important as this girl in the eyes of the emperor?The wandering silver light made her eyes burn hot.
"Sister Liu was just a moment of carelessness, why is Sister Yun so unforgiving? Besides, Sister Liu is a newcomer in the palace, young and unruly, so she is not comparable to an old man like Sister Yun." Concubine Ni Gui Jiao smiled and said, the word "old" in the words was bitten a little harder.
Concubine Yun's face turned blue for a while, and the word "old" stabbed her heart for a while, and seeing Qi Yan's timid look next to her, she felt even more angry, "Sister Guifei's words are probably inappropriate, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules, The harem has the etiquette of the harem, and the empress was born in a noble family, and was ordered by the emperor to assist the empress in managing the harem, so don't you even understand the principles of respect and etiquette?" Concubine Yun retorted.
She calmed down for a while, and did not look at Concubine Ni Gui, who was choking on her pale face. She turned her head and bowed to the queen, saying, "Your Majesty is the lord of the six palaces, and I will ask your Majesty to decide this matter. I believe that your Majesty will be fair." Yan Ming, let me wait to be convinced."
"Empress, please take care of your concubine's face, don't punish sister Qiyan." Ni Guifei said softly.
The queen glanced at Concubine Ni Gui. Usually, Concubine Ni acted arrogantly and often ignored the queen. Even though her love is not as good as before, relying on the influence of her father and brother at home, she is still not restrained.
The queen sighed and said: "Since I am the lord of the harem, I only hope that the sisters in the palace will live in harmony and be like a family. Unfortunately, there are naturally rules in the palace. Don't care. Otherwise, how will you control the harem in the future and convince all the younger sisters?" After a pause, he continued, "It's just that Mr. Liu Liang made an unintentional mistake after all. I think you have entered the palace not long ago, so the palace will not punish you again, Qi Yan , I will punish you to kneel under the eaves for four hours, are you convinced?"
Qi Yan hastily said: "Qi Yan, thank you for your punishment, my maid and concubine are convinced."
In the harem, there are strict rules of respect and etiquette. If an act like Qiyan is dealt with severely, it can even be downgraded and banned. The queen's punishment of kneeling is already light.
"Concubine Yun has no objection, does she?"
Concubine Yun naturally felt that it was too light, she wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a moment, and she still said: "Your Majesty is naturally fair, and this concubine is convinced." She gave Qi Yan a hard look.
Concubine Ni's mouth was filled with a faint smile.
Su Mi sighed softly, four hours!Where can the fetus be kept?
"Young lady, wait a minute." Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, Su Mi suddenly knelt down and said, "Young lady knows the truth, and the treatment is fair. I may already be pregnant with a dragon seed, so please ask your mother to learn from her, and she will be kind enough to postpone the punishment for a while."
This sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone's expressions changed in an instant.
Concubine Ni's face turned pale immediately, and her figure couldn't help shaking, "When did this little bitch know that she was pregnant? I obviously stopped Imperial Physician Chen, and the maids who were arranged by her side reported nothing unusual. How is it possible? Could it be that she knew that she was pregnant but could not show any clues? Isn't she too scheming? No, it's impossible." She felt uneasy and couldn't help turning to Su Mi and Qi who were kneeling together. Smoke stared secretly.
Su Mi lowered her head, her shiny black eyelashes drooped down, showing no expression.
At this moment, Qi Yan was at a loss. She couldn't believe what Su Mi said. When did she say that she was pregnant?Oops, maybe she was worried that she would be punished to kneel down, so she just talked nonsense to exonerate herself, right?Even if she doesn't understand the rules, she still knows that things related to dragonborn must not be taken so lightly. If she tells a lie, she must be punished severely, and it is definitely a much heavier punishment than kneeling down.
"I..." Thinking of this, Qi Yan quickly raised her head to retort, but felt a slight pain in her hand, it was Su Mi who took her hand from the side and squeezed it lightly, Qi Yan's words froze, Su Mi had already warmly said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry. I know that my sister also finds it hard to believe, so she has been worrying about gains and losses. She didn't even dare to invite the imperial doctor. Now the situation is different, and it's about the emperor's heir, let alone the empress. You just need to relax. "
The empress had come to her senses, she immediately smiled, and said: "This is a great joy, it's so good, the emperor has always been weak, since the younger sisters entered the palace, I have been looking forward to doing more for the royal family. Scattering leaves, adding sons and blessings." Turning around, he called the chief eunuch of Fengyi Palace beside him and said, "Cao Fuhai, report to the emperor quickly. Then send someone to invite the Imperial Physician Qin from the imperial hospital."
Without waiting for the Queen's order, Yu Rui, the female officer next to her, has already stepped forward to help Qi Yan up, and Su Mi together.
At this time, all the concubines also came to their senses, and stepped forward to congratulate Concubine Ni. Although Concubine Ni's face was the most ugly, she did not lose her manners.
Concubine Yun stood there in a daze, lost in thought, she tried hard to put on a joyful expression, but her expression couldn't be controlled, she suddenly thought of her own child, the child who carried all her hopes, She didn't even have time to look at him, she wanted to persuade herself not to think about it, but she just felt cold in her heart, as if everything in this world was far away from her.At this time, everyone is surrounded by Qi Yan, and no one will pay attention to her gaffe.
Surrounded by the crowd, Qi Yan felt that she was just a roast chicken on a rack, and there was nowhere to escape if she wanted to.The queen's words had already brought the matter to a conclusion, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to say, she just winked at Su Mi desperately, hoping that she could explain.Su Mi stood outside the circle and gave her a comforting smile.
At this time, the little eunuch outside the door reported, "Qin Imperial Physician has arrived."
As if hearing a death knell, Qi Yan's face turned pale as paper.
Trembling and frightened, Imperial Physician Qin stretched out his beard, stretched out his fingers to rest on Qi Yan's trembling hand, and after a while, his face couldn't help but beam with joy, and said: "Congratulations to Liu Liang, congratulations to the empress, As expected, she is already a month pregnant."
Qi Yan couldn't believe her ears, and asked the imperial physician repeatedly.
Concubine Wen caressed her mouth lightly and smiled, "Look at Sister Liu's joy."
Qi Yan suddenly came to her senses, just now she was overwhelmed by surprise, and what she asked should not be said by her daughter's family, I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette, and it will make people laugh.She couldn't help lowering her head and blushing.
The queen comforted: "Prince Qin is a master of gynecology and a steady old doctor in the imperial hospital. My sister will ask her another day. The days to come are still very long."
Qi Yan hurriedly claimed that she was right.
Su Mi leaned on the porch pillar and looked at the scene in front of her with a smile. I'm afraid that most people here would like to eat Qiyan raw, but they have an affectionate expression on their faces that they have been good sisters since the previous life.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Qiyan, Concubine Ni walked into Su Mi calmly, and asked softly: "Sister Su and Sister Qiyan really have an unusual friendship, even talking about such private things with my sister, Alas, I have always treated Qiyan as my own sister in Xifu Palace, and I don't know when sister Qiyan had such a happy event."
"Your Majesty is too modest, and Qi Yan has always been grateful for her care for her, but how can you be so embarrassing..." Su Mi smiled softly, with no flaws on her face, "And I'm not sure, What's more, the empress herself is sick, so why dare to disturb the empress for such a trivial matter?"
She is telling the truth?Still don't have fun?
Concubine Ni stared at Su Mi, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, then she smiled sweetly, and said flatteringly, "I'm not sure? My sister's words are inappropriate, right? How can such a big thing as being pregnant with a dragon descendant be confirmed without consulting the imperial physician?" ?”
"Your Majesty doesn't know that sister Qiyan's pregnancy has not been diagnosed by the imperial physician. It's just that my sister went to play with the concubine a few days ago, and she couldn't help nausea and vomiting after eating a few pieces of greasy food. The concubine then joked with her whether she was pregnant or not. She was pregnant, and she said she wanted to see an imperial doctor. It was only a joke at first, but who knew that Qi Yan would be fined to kneel today, and suddenly thought of this, even though it was only a one-ten-thousandth possibility , but it is related to the descendants of the dragon, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, the concubine is in a hurry and has no choice but to... Sigh, thinking that the concubine is also afraid, the palace rules are strict, if sister Qiyan is not pregnant, the concubine is not pregnant I made a serious mistake." Su Mi patted her chest in shock.
"Where is it? Sister Su has made great contributions to the royal bloodline. How can the matter of the dragon descendants be taken lightly? I must show credit for my sister later." Ni Guifei smiled, and she looked at Su Mi The look on her face, is what she said true?That little girl Qiyan really doesn't know.
It should be like this, I arranged it properly at Xifu Palace, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. Reminiscent of Qiyan's surprised expression just now, Concubine Ni Gui has already believed it by [-]%.Unexpectedly, this girl is so lucky!
At this time, the outside reported that the emperor had arrived.Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Qi Long had already rushed in, with a look of surprise on his face, he didn't even look at the prostrating concubines, he came to Qi Yan and asked eagerly: "But it's true?"
Doctor Qin saluted and said: "According to the doctor's diagnosis, Liu Liangren is indeed pregnant for one month, the pulse condition is calm, and the fetus is very safe." The queen next to her also bowed and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and pass on the Jin Liu family as a talented person." Qi Long's voice was full of joy, from a good person to a talented person, he was promoted to two ranks just after he was pregnant, which shows the emperor's desire for this child.He is 22 years old and has never had a son.Although the concubines in the harem also became pregnant several times, most of them disappointed him. So far, only Concubine Wen gave birth to a daughter safely.
Concubine Ni Gui interrupted and said, "Since sister Liu is pregnant, the punishment this time is based on my concubine's opinion. Why don't you copy "Girls' Training" instead, and hand it over to the empress after the copying is complete. The empress and younger sister Yun will read it." Is it appropriate to wear it?"
"What punishment?" Qi Taki couldn't help asking.
Concubine Ni Gui immediately said: "It's not because Sister Qiyan wore the wrong piece of Sister Yun's clothes just now, and Sister Yun refused to let her go, so she must punish Sister Qiyan to kneel and apologize." She tactfully explained what happened just now. "Speaking of which, it's thanks to Su agreeing to speak up for Sister Qiyan, otherwise Sister Qiyan might really think that the palace rules are far more important than the emperor's heir, so she will obediently punish and kneel."
"It's just a piece of clothing, so what's the point of punishment? As one of the six concubines and the lord of the first palace, how can you be so narrow-minded?" Qi Long looked at Concubine Yun displeased.
Concubine Yun felt so wronged, but no matter how much she felt wronged, painful and lonely, she could only swallow it in her stomach and knelt down obediently to plead guilty.
"Okay, okay, Sister Yun is just following the palace rules and being in a hurry, don't blame the emperor." The queen comforted. "It's just that this time Su promised to be credited, and he has been serving the emperor with all his heart. This role should also be promoted."
"Well, let's just be here forever." Qi Long looked at Su Mi beside him with a smile: "I have always known how virtuous you are."
Su Mi hurriedly knelt down to thank her.
Qi Taki helped her up with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, are you feeling better? Can you eat that Korean ginseng?"
Su Mi replied shyly one by one, and said: "Your Majesty, let's quickly go and see Sister Qiyan. The heir is the most important thing now."
Only then did Qi Long walk up to Qi Yan's side again, with a few soothing words, he turned to the queen and said, "Queen, you are the lord of the six palaces, and I know your talents, so I will entrust the child to you this time. Be sure to take good care of it, and don't lose anything!"
"The emperor has an order, how dare the concubine not do her best? It's just..." The queen quickly glanced at Concubine Ni Gui, and said: "Liu Cairen and Sister Ni have always been on good terms, and they live in Xifu Palace, so it is better for the concubine to be with you Sister Ni took care of Liu Cairen together, and the concubine was always careless, in case the dragon veins were not taken care of well..., Sister Ni was as careful as a hair, considerate and considerate..." The queen said while looking at Concubine Ni with a smile.
Concubine Ni Gui couldn't help but look a little ugly again.
"In that case, let you and Concubine Ni take care of it together," the emperor waved his hand indifferently.
Concubine Ni had no choice but to accept the order with a nod.
The queen is also a shrewd person, and she reacted so quickly.Su Mi sighed secretly.
What happened today is obviously Ni Guifei's method.Instruct the maid to secretly exchange the clothes of the two.She calculated that Concubine Yun hated Qi Yan deeply, and when she found out that her clothes were worn wrong, she would never let it go and demanded severe punishment.
For Qiyan's behavior, if it is serious, it will be demoted and banned, and if it is light, it will be punished by kneeling and beating.
Now that Qiyan is being favored, the empress will definitely not severely punish her. Most likely, the eunuch of the commander of ceremonies will punish her with more than a dozen boards, or make her kneel for several hours. No matter what it is, the child in her stomach will probably not be able to keep her. up.When the time comes, the emperor will pursue the investigation, and both the concubine Yun who caused this incident and the empress who handled it will not be able to escape the suspicion of "acting recklessly and murdering the emperor's heir". Not happy.
Killing three birds with one stone, not only got rid of the child, but also dragged the queen and concubine Yun into the water, this move is really clever.
It's just that the queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Knowing that it is Concubine Ni's conspiracy, she naturally refuses to fall into this troubled water, and she must pull Concubine Ni down together. Now the two are jointly taking care of the child. , no one can get away with it.
After this incident, the concubines would naturally not be in the mood to enjoy the flowers, after the emperor went back to Xifu Palace with Qi Yan.All the concubines bid farewell and left.
Afterwards, Qi Yan also secretly asked her with a coy face: "How did my sister know that I was pregnant?"
Su Mi smiled and said: "I saw my sister talking about my vomiting and nausea symptoms that day, which reminded me that it was the same when there were pregnant women in my family. It's just that I don't know much about medicine, so I dare not tell my sister, lest I be happy in vain. It was just one episode. I thought that I would see the imperial physician in a few days, and I would know the truth. I didn’t expect to encounter such an accident. When I saw the crisis just now, I thought it had too much to do with it, so I couldn’t help but speak out.”
"But what if I don't get pregnant? My sister will be punished." Thinking of what happened that day, Qi Yan still has lingering fears in her heart.
"The emperor's heir is a big matter, so what does it matter if my sister is punished? Besides, how can I watch you suffer from the punishment of kneeling in front of the palace." Su Mi laughed.
"My sister is really kind to me," Qi Yan said moved, then lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "It's not like them..."
Su Mi looked at her expression and sighed secretly. Although this girl is simple, she is not stupid. She must have doubts about what happened that day.
"Liu Cairen's place is very lively today," Mi Hong rushed in excitedly, she had just gone to Xifu Palace with Xiao Luzi to deliver gifts there. "The emperor rewarded a lot of things. I think Liu Cairen's palace can't be piled up. When we went, we just met the eunuch in charge of the queen mother's palace. We took a group of young eunuchs to hold a long Xiao Luzi and I were listening to the titles, it’s terrible, just the hairpin has everything Ruyi hairpin, Meiying Caisheng hairpin, Jingfu Changmian hairpin, Renfeng Pufan hairpin, Tianbao Qingyi hairpin, Qing Yunyongfu hairpin, green snow with fragrant hairpin, ten thousand year auspicious hairpin, sapphire dragonfly head flower, red coral cat butterfly head flower, golden silk opera bead head flower, Yaochi Qinggong side flower..." Looking for red while breaking Pointing his finger, he said happily.
"Okay, okay, have you said enough? I know you're greedy." Mi Qing interrupted her impatiently.
Only now did Mi Hong see that Su Mi's face was not very happy, and she resigned in embarrassment, after all, she was still in high spirits, and ran to the backyard to hold Xiao Luzi and started talking endlessly.
Seeing Su Mi's thoughtful expression, Mi Qing asked, "Master, what are you worried about?"
"It's nothing. I just remembered what happened this morning. I didn't expect the queen to be so shrewd. I have to be more careful in the future." Su Mi sighed.
That night, the emperor stayed with Concubine Wen.
In the middle of the night, Su Mi took out the pills that had just been prepared a few days ago. Inside the white jade box, the small brown pills exuded a faint medicinal fragrance. Su Mi twisted one and put it in his mouth.
(End of this chapter)
The winter wind blows like cold, but the warm pavilion is as warm as spring.
Su Mi shook the cloak lightly, and the snowflakes attached to the blue satin surface fell down lightly and softly.
Mi Qing, who was serving at the side, helped Su Mi untie the cloak, and shouted into the room: "Mi Hong, the master is back, hurry up and bring the heated hand stove, this hand stove is already cold."
"In fact, everyone knows that the master is not in good health. He often doesn't even go to the emperor's summons. Why do you go to Fengyi Palace every day to meet the empress? Tell the emperor and ask for a leave." Mi Qing tidied up The cloak, he said.
"Serving the queen is my etiquette as a maid and concubine. How can I ignore it lightly? Now that my position in the harem is not stable, how can I continue to be honest about these details and provoke criticism." Su Mi replied casually. Return from the queen.
"Master, the emperor's reward has arrived again. A pair of ruby rice bead chime hairpins, a pair of emerald emerald inlaid pearl Suihan Sanyou bead flowers, and a thousand-year-old ginseng. According to Eunuch Gao, it was just a tribute from Koryo, and it is specially given to you." I came here to make up for the master, I looked at it, and it’s terrible, the boss’s ginseng beard, I feel refreshed after smelling it.” Mi Hong came out, holding a hand stove in her hand, beaming Said, "The emperor is really considerate to the master. He just got promoted a few days ago and agreed. Yinuservant sees that the master will be promoted again in a few days."
Su Mi smiled and said nothing, today Qi Long has already mentioned the matter of promoting her again, but she politely refused, she replied respectfully: "The emperor has no repayment for Su Mi's kindness, Su Mi came from a humble background, It might be against the ancestral system to be promoted too quickly, if Su Mi alone caused discord in the harem, wouldn't it be Su Mi's fault."
Qi Long praised her for her humility, and felt that she was more virtuous and knowledgeable.
"It's a pity that the master is weak and often falls ill. Every time the emperor summons him two or three times, he will only be able to go once. Otherwise, he should be on the same side as Liu Liangren." Mi Hong sighed, "Liu Liangren can't compare to the master's in appearance. ..."
"Okay, okay, I haven't finished the work yet, so I'm talking about the master here," Miqing interrupted her, "I'm just talking here, have you packed yesterday's things? Hurry up and clean the stove." Be prosperous."
Mi Hong stuck out her tongue towards Mi Qing, and ran away.
The end of the new year is approaching, and it has been a month since Su Mi was favored. This month, Liu Qiyan is extremely favored, almost no worse than Concubine Yun, and in terms of status, she was promoted to be a beloved just yesterday.
And Su Mi has been controlling the number of times she receives pets on the grounds that she is weak and sick.
In the past month, except for the high-status concubines such as the Empress and Concubine Ni, and Concubine Wen with Emperor Ji, the emperor would go there once or twice a month, and the rest of the time he would call the concubines to sleep in the Ganlu Palace. .Among them, Concubine Yun is still the most favored, but she is no longer the one who is looked at by Liu Gong, no one can match her, and then Liu Qiyan, and then her.
With Concubine Yun's slightly diminished but still brilliant brilliance and Liu Qiyan's glory of being favored by a young man, Su Mi's favor will not be so eye-catching.
Just after taking a sip of the hot tea served by Mi Qing, Xiao Luzi outside reported that Mr. Liu Liang had arrived,
Su Mi was slightly taken aback.How did she come here?
When we met in Fengyi Palace these days, Qiyan often wanted to get close to Su Mi, but every time Su Mi calmed her down and changed the subject calmly.The two of them are humble and favored, and they are already thorns in the eyes of the concubines. If they behave intimately again, they will arouse others' wariness.Moreover, Ni Yelin obviously intended to win over Qiyan, she and the Ni family had a deep feud, and seeing Concubine Ni trying to bear it on the surface, of course she would not feel too comfortable in her heart.
"Please come in." Su Mi stood up and greeted her.
The curtain was raised, and Qi Yan walked in.
On her head is a phoenix step rock with dots of emerald and inlaid beads, the pearls are shining brightly, she is wearing a snow-white silver fox fur cloak, the silver light is separated, the lower edge reveals a dark red dark flower silk satin pleated skirt, her small face is flushed with cold , is extraordinarily lovable.
This outfit was bestowed by the emperor, and she put it on so quickly.
"Early in the morning, how come my beloved sister is free?" Su Mi smiled gently, with the most standard smile that a concubine treats sisters in the palace.
"Sister..." Qi Yan originally had a lot to say, but when she saw Su Mi's smile, she couldn't speak at all, and suddenly murmured, not knowing what to say.
She looked at Su Mi, her big eyes were watery, she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Su Mi suddenly had a headache, she obviously didn't say anything serious, she should stop crying here.
"My sister is blaming me. It was supposed to be my sister's chance. I gave her my chance..." Qi Yan grabbed Su Mi's sleeve and finally said, "Sister, don't blame me, okay? Go and explain to the emperor..." She looked at Su Mi expectantly.
Su Mi was in a trance for a while, and there was a person who, every time she did something wrong, would look at her like this: "Ah Mi, please forgive me, or I will give you my pearl necklace, and the one I secretly set aside yesterday. Chestnut cake, how about today's share..." Facing those innocent eyes, I would always soften my heart after not holding on for long, and then enjoy the snacks I got with confidence.
But in a blink of an eye, the fragrance has disappeared, the heaven and man have been separated forever, and the world is really like a dream.
"Qi Yan has only spoken a few words to my sister since she entered the palace, if she ignores me..." Without Su Mi's response, Qi Yan became more and more anxious, and didn't know what to say.Although she has been staying in Bibochi since entering the palace and has nothing to do with the world, but as a 14-year-old girl, she suddenly left the love of her parents and stepped into the unknown deep palace alone. It can be regarded as a friend in "adversity", and since then, there has been a real affection.After being favored, I don't know whether it's joy or sorrow. Although there are many people who flatter me, it's hard for anyone to tell the truth.You Qi was hit by Concubine Yun again, which made her tremble and panic all day long.Seeing Su Mi again, but Su Mi ignored her again, and felt even more uncomfortable, until today she finally couldn't help running over to find Su Mi.
"No, silly child," Su Mi felt disappointed, "I didn't blame you." How could she blame her for this kind of thing, she just didn't want to show any emotion other than hatred in this cold palace.
Finally hearing what Su Mi said, Qi Yan couldn't help crying "Wow".
Su Mi felt that her head really started to hurt.
After a while of fuss, the table was filled with pastries of various colors.
Su Mi knew that she was still a child at heart, so she had no choice but to persuade her gently, while swearing that she would never get angry again.
Looking for Qingzhi to take out all kinds of fashionable pastries, set them up, and retreated.
"Sister, there are so many delicious foods here." Finally, she said what she wanted to say, and cried when she wanted to cry, Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and after persuading her, she quickly returned to her smile.
"Just as long as you like it." Su Mi unknowingly picked up a piece of shredded grape meat for her. This kind of snack is made by first picking out ripe and large grapes, removing the seeds and replacing them with fresh small dried meat, and then marinating them with honey and fruit oil. It was originally Wei Qinger's favorite food.
Qi Yan happily took it, took a bite, suddenly frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, took another small bite, and swallowed it reluctantly.His face turned pale for a while, as if he was about to vomit.
"My sister's cooking is delicious." Qi Yan put it down with a dry smile, "I used to like to eat this, but I have a bad appetite in the past few days, and I feel like vomiting when I eat these things."
Su Mi suddenly became suspicious.She picked up another piece of pastry and said, "If I knew my sister didn't like sweets, I might as well try this. It's pickled with small tribute oranges newly brought in from the south. It's sour and sweet, very delicious."
"I used to like it very much, but recently I don't know if it's because I ate too much or something else. I feel sick when I eat something greasy." Qi Yan took it and ate it while talking, and the taste was as expected Refreshing, I couldn't help picking up a few more pieces.
Seeing this, Su Mi became even more puzzled, she stretched out her hand to grab Qi Yan's wrist affectionately, and said, "My younger sister lives in Xifu Palace, I don't know how Ni Guifei treats my younger sister?"
"Your Majesty is very nice. She often rewards Qiyan with things. A few days ago it was Suzhou embroidery material, and a few days ago it was Yangzhou snacks..." Qiyan said.
"Since my sister has a bad appetite these days, has she seen the imperial doctor?"
"No, not long ago, the imperial concubine had a headache again. The imperial doctor Chen who is in charge of Xifu Palace has been very busy recently, so he hasn't come to check Qiyan's pulse these days. Qiyan said while eating candied tribute oranges.
really!
Just now Su Mi took her pulse while holding hands, and she already noticed it.This silly girl, she didn't even know that she was pregnant.
Is this good or bad for her?Maybe without the child, she could live longer, Su Mi stared at Qi Yan in a daze.
"Sister, sister," Qiyan asked, "what's the matter?"
"No..." Su Mi lowered her eyes.
Qi Yan talked about the daily routine again with great interest.Speaking of her family, they were very happy when they heard that she was favored and promoted.
"I heard that my father is going to donate an official in the spring. Anyway, I have a legitimate background."
There is a difference between high and low!
There is a clear distinction between the Daqi gentry and the common people.Daughters of officials and daughters of ordinary people are treated very differently in the palace. The daughters of officials and noble families who are drafted, even if they cannot become concubines and become palace maids, they are still serving nobles as female officials. Once they reach the age, they can be released from the palace. Go get married yourself.Most of the daughters of the common people of the common people are low-level servants in the palace, and only a very few lucky ones will be named concubines, or promoted to high-grade female officials because of their ability to serve.
Moreover, the ancestral system stipulates that court ladies of commoner origin can only be promoted to concubines step by step, and they cannot skip the rank unless they have made great contributions (giving birth to an heir, etc.).Like her and Qiyan, they can only start from the final dressing.However, if a female official from a family of officials and eunuchs is favored by the emperor, this is not the case.
If Qiyan's father had an official position, even if it was the last grade of sesame and mung bean official, her worth would immediately be fundamentally different.According to her favor a few days ago, she might have been promoted to concubine long ago.
"Have you ever told anyone else about this?"
"I've said it, I mentioned it when I visited some empresses a few days ago."
No wonder Concubine Ni Gui was so impatient.Su Mi couldn't help smiling wryly.
The two talked for a while, seeing that Qi Yan was also a little tired, Su Mi sent her back.
"Master, don't you also have the emerald-embedded beaded Phoenix Buyao and the silver fox cloak, why don't you want to wear them?" Seeing that Qiyan had left, Mi Hong couldn't help asking: "Master, you are so beautiful, if you can wear it again Dress up well..."
Emerald Emerald Inlaid Beads Phoenix Bu Yao, using gold thread as the base, decorated with kingfisher feathers, the eyes and mouth are inlaid with rubies and black pearls, and red coral beads are inlaid on both sides.The two strings of small pendants held in the sharp little mouth are made of small gourds carved from emeralds.The whole Bu Yao is light and unique, gorgeous and elegant, but the Bu Yao can only be used by a concubine or above.
White foxes are rare in the first place, and silver foxes are the best among white foxes. They are famous all over the world for their soft, smooth fur and brilliance. They can only grow in extremely cold places in the Liao Kingdom. They are as fast as the wind, cunning and alert , is extremely difficult to catch.A few days ago, tribes from the Liao Kingdom outside the Great Wall came to pay tribute and presented six silver fox fur cloaks, all of which Qi Taki gave to the harem.
Just now, Su Mi has the same outfit as Qi Yan, and she doesn't lack everything, but she never wears it.
"Okay, Mi Hong, those things, how can I afford them in my position." Su Mi interrupted her.
Yuci Buyao, silver fox cloak, father appointed an official, pregnant with an imperial heir, no wonder Concubine Ni can bear it, but she doesn't know when to do it, so dragging the imperial doctor like this will definitely not last long, I'm afraid it will only be in the next few days.
Su Mi stood up, "Mi Qing, go to the Tai Hospital and say that I'm not in good spirits these days, and ask the Tai Hospital for some soothing medicine."
"Master is not feeling well? Why don't I ask the imperial physician to come and have a look?" Mi Qing asked
"No need, it's just an old problem, and the medicine is also commonly taken in the old days. I'll write you the prescription later." Su Mi said, with a kind of desolation in her voice.
Mi Qing wanted to say something more, but seeing Su Mi's pale face and tired look, she didn't dare to say anything more, and went into the back room after serving Su Mi.
In the middle of the night, Su Mi dismissed everyone and stayed alone in the room.
She picked up the medicinal materials that she just brought today, and then took out a few flavors that she withheld from the medicine that Wei Qing'er used to take.According to the prescription in memory, carefully prepare it.
It wasn't until midnight that the pills were ready, and she took out the jade box and carefully put them in.
"The next step will depend on you."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped on December [-]th. Early in the morning, the empress ordered someone to send a message that she was going to invite concubines from all palaces to Fengyi Palace to enjoy the snow and drink tea.
Su Mi got up early in the morning, took a shower, changed clothes, and dressed up.
"Master, don't you need the set of jewelry that the emperor gave you a few days ago?" Mi Hong couldn't help asking.
"No, just take that set of wishful hairpins." Su Mi said, turning her head to Mi Qing who was behind her, "comb the usual flying swallow bun."
She was wearing an elegant light green cotton skirt with gold color embroidery, a small ermine jacket, and embroidered shoes with flowerpot bottoms for snowy days. After tidying up, Mi Hong shook out the silver fox fur cloak .
"Why did you take this dress out? Put it back quickly, the master can't wear it again." Mi Qing said, she has a calm temperament, she knows Su Mi's unwillingness to make public, and she deeply agrees in her heart.
"It's a pity not to wear such a good thing and leave it for nothing. Didn't Mr. Liu Liang also wear it a few days ago?" Mi Hong turned to Su Mi aggrievedly.
Su Mi gave her a blank look, and was too lazy to say anything, this girl has a good heart, but she is too naive.Mi Hong didn't dare to say any more, she obediently took it in and changed it into the one Su Mi was used to wearing.
Mi Qing put on a cloak for Su Mi, looked at the sky outside, couldn't help slowing down, and said: "Master, it's better to change to a thicker one, the weather is too cold, and the master is weak, this bomb The cloak of ink flower silk and blue satin really can't cover much wind, and it seems that the weather won't be sunny for much of the time."
The sky outside is still gloomy, and it seems that snowflakes will continue to fall at any time.
"Alright." Su Mi looked at the sky and said.
Mi Qing hurriedly fetched a thick autumn-colored feather satin and changed it.
At the gate of Fengyi Palace, Su Mi got out of the chariot, looking at the carriages outside the gate, it was already quite a lot.
Before entering the door, I happened to see the chariot of Concubine Ni Gui from Xifu Palace arriving.When the curtain of the car was lifted, it was Qi Yan who jumped down.Seeing Su Mi, Qi Yan happily ran over and took Su Mi's hand affectionately, "Sister is here too."
She turned out to be the frame of Concubine Ni Gui. It seems that Concubine Ni has done a good job on the surface.
"The relationship between Su Ying and Liu Liangren is really good." Concubine Ni also got out of the car and laughed beside her.
"I'm making your empress laugh." Su Mi saluted respectfully and replied.
"It's too late for me to be envious, how can I laugh at you? Su promised to speak out, which is not as straightforward and cute as Sister Qiyan." Ni Guifei gently covered her mouth with a brocade handkerchief and smiled delicately.
"The empress is respected, Su Mi is humble, etiquette dare not be abolished." Su Mi bowed her head.
"They're all sisters of my own family, why bother to be so polite. Speaking of which, it's really rare to see such a lovable beauty in the palace. The first time I see this, I can't help but treat myself like my own sister." Concubine Ni shook her hand and said again .
The palace servants watched them from afar and hurriedly greeted them, led them into Fengyi Palace, passed through several corridors, turned to the back garden, it turned out that today's small banquet was held in a pavilion.
The pavilion, which was originally empty on all sides, has now been surrounded with shark bead yarn.Shark bead yarn is made of a kind of seabed plant collected from the East China Sea, mixed with silver thread and silk. It is soft and dense, hard to wet in water, and like smoke, almost transparent, because it is similar to the legendary shark bead yarn. It is similar, and has the same color as pearls, so it is called shark bead yarn, and some are directly called shark silk.
Several people walked into the pavilion while talking and laughing.
As soon as you enter the pavilion, you will be greeted with hot air and the fragrance of flowers. In the courtyard is a gold-inlaid enamel vase filled with freshly folded half-blossom plum blossoms. There are more than a dozen seats around it. There are white fox fur mattresses and colorful embroidered backrests and pillows. In front of each seat is a gilded tower-style small heater, which is warm and pleasant. The pavilion is surrounded by shark bead gauze, so that the cold does not invade. Looking from the inside to the outside, it seems like a It is generally transparent, and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful snow scenery in the garden.Everyone took off their cloaks and sat down one after another. Su Mi took a glance and found that all the concubines who came here today were high-ranking or favored concubines.
After a while, the queen also arrived, and everyone got up to salute.
"Excuse me," the queen said with a smile as she untied the gold-painted satin cloak with golden phoenix patterns on a red background, "Yesterday, my father got a kind of 'white jade green frost' which is rare in tea from southern Xinjiang. ’, in addition to offering it to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, there was some left over, which was sent to Fengyi Palace. I think today is a good day, so why not share it with all the sisters.”
White jade green frost!
Sure enough, it is a rare and rare product. The tea trees of Qingshuang tea can only grow on the high mountain cliffs with abundant water resources. Sapphire, as blue as frost, is a rare treasure in tea. Among them, the tea leaves produced by tea trees that have reached hundreds of years old will turn white on the head, and become a unique tea treasure, called "white jade green". Frost".
The most rare thing is that to meet the conditions for its growth, it can only be found in the extreme southern mountainous areas of Lingnan, which are all within the territory of Nanchen. Now Nanchen and Daqi are at war.
Only the Wang family, which was born as a queen, can get it from a noble family that has stood firm for more than a hundred years, a wealthy family and aristocrats.
The concubines were naturally flattered, but many concubines said, "It's an honor to taste this tea, how honored it is...", but there was suspicion in their eyes. I am afraid that many people don't know this "white jade and green frost" at all. "The history.
The Empress turned to Concubine Yun and said with a smile: "The Emperor has always praised Sister Yun as a talented woman with a lot of knowledge, but I am going to test you. Do you know the origin of this tea?"
"Yes, the concubine's poor knowledge made her laugh," Concubine Yun replied respectfully, she naturally understood what the queen meant, "As far as I know, this white jade and green frost..."
Listening to Concubine Yun's eloquence, the concubines suddenly realized, and naturally they continued to flatter.Even Concubine Ni Gui was full of praise, which made the queen a little surprised and gave her an extra look.
A maidservant came forward to set up the tea set and began to cook the tea carefully. The concubines started gossiping about their daily affairs. All of a sudden, there were endless cheers and laughter in the pavilion.
After staying for more than half an hour, the tea was almost used up, and Concubine Ni said: "The ancestors often said that tasting tea and admiring flowers is an elegant thing in the world. Today, seeing the beautiful scenery in the queen's courtyard, why not go to the sisters to enjoy it together?" Enjoy the plum blossoms in the garden."
Everyone clapped their hands in agreement, and the queen also laughed, "It's rare that you have such thoughts, and today I will be the host."
All the concubines got up one after another, picked up the coats around them and put them on.
"Hey, where's my cloak?" Concubine Yun suddenly asked in surprise.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Concubine Ni Gui came up and asked calmly.
"Ah!" Qi Yan next to her exclaimed, covering her cherry lips with a look of panic.
"It's me... no... the maid and concubine wore the wrong clothes." She looked at the crowd timidly and lowered her head.She and Concubine Yun are wearing the same cloak of silver fox fur given by the emperor today.
"Hmph!" Concubine Yun snorted heavily.
Qi Yan trembled in fright, since she was beaten up by Concubine Yun, she was very afraid of her.Since she was a child, she has been the daughter of heaven in her family, and her parents hold her in the palm of her hand. She has never suffered that kind of hardship.
"Sister is so careless." Su Mi stepped forward and said, while helping Qi Yan who was already stunned to take off her cloak, she gently pushed her.
Qiyan just woke up like a dream, and quickly knelt down and said, "It's the concubine's carelessness. The concubine knew she was wrong, and I hope that the empress will forgive her. I will definitely take this as a warning in the future and dare not do it again."
"Careless? Can the rules in the palace be overcome by a word of carelessness?" Concubine Yun angrily took the cloak from Su Mi.She had always disliked Qiyan, but seeing her wearing the same imperial cloak added fuel to the flames. She was very clear about the preciousness of this silver fox fur cloak. When did she become as important as this girl in the eyes of the emperor?The wandering silver light made her eyes burn hot.
"Sister Liu was just a moment of carelessness, why is Sister Yun so unforgiving? Besides, Sister Liu is a newcomer in the palace, young and unruly, so she is not comparable to an old man like Sister Yun." Concubine Ni Gui Jiao smiled and said, the word "old" in the words was bitten a little harder.
Concubine Yun's face turned blue for a while, and the word "old" stabbed her heart for a while, and seeing Qi Yan's timid look next to her, she felt even more angry, "Sister Guifei's words are probably inappropriate, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules, The harem has the etiquette of the harem, and the empress was born in a noble family, and was ordered by the emperor to assist the empress in managing the harem, so don't you even understand the principles of respect and etiquette?" Concubine Yun retorted.
She calmed down for a while, and did not look at Concubine Ni Gui, who was choking on her pale face. She turned her head and bowed to the queen, saying, "Your Majesty is the lord of the six palaces, and I will ask your Majesty to decide this matter. I believe that your Majesty will be fair." Yan Ming, let me wait to be convinced."
"Empress, please take care of your concubine's face, don't punish sister Qiyan." Ni Guifei said softly.
The queen glanced at Concubine Ni Gui. Usually, Concubine Ni acted arrogantly and often ignored the queen. Even though her love is not as good as before, relying on the influence of her father and brother at home, she is still not restrained.
The queen sighed and said: "Since I am the lord of the harem, I only hope that the sisters in the palace will live in harmony and be like a family. Unfortunately, there are naturally rules in the palace. Don't care. Otherwise, how will you control the harem in the future and convince all the younger sisters?" After a pause, he continued, "It's just that Mr. Liu Liang made an unintentional mistake after all. I think you have entered the palace not long ago, so the palace will not punish you again, Qi Yan , I will punish you to kneel under the eaves for four hours, are you convinced?"
Qi Yan hastily said: "Qi Yan, thank you for your punishment, my maid and concubine are convinced."
In the harem, there are strict rules of respect and etiquette. If an act like Qiyan is dealt with severely, it can even be downgraded and banned. The queen's punishment of kneeling is already light.
"Concubine Yun has no objection, does she?"
Concubine Yun naturally felt that it was too light, she wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a moment, and she still said: "Your Majesty is naturally fair, and this concubine is convinced." She gave Qi Yan a hard look.
Concubine Ni's mouth was filled with a faint smile.
Su Mi sighed softly, four hours!Where can the fetus be kept?
"Young lady, wait a minute." Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, Su Mi suddenly knelt down and said, "Young lady knows the truth, and the treatment is fair. I may already be pregnant with a dragon seed, so please ask your mother to learn from her, and she will be kind enough to postpone the punishment for a while."
This sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone's expressions changed in an instant.
Concubine Ni's face turned pale immediately, and her figure couldn't help shaking, "When did this little bitch know that she was pregnant? I obviously stopped Imperial Physician Chen, and the maids who were arranged by her side reported nothing unusual. How is it possible? Could it be that she knew that she was pregnant but could not show any clues? Isn't she too scheming? No, it's impossible." She felt uneasy and couldn't help turning to Su Mi and Qi who were kneeling together. Smoke stared secretly.
Su Mi lowered her head, her shiny black eyelashes drooped down, showing no expression.
At this moment, Qi Yan was at a loss. She couldn't believe what Su Mi said. When did she say that she was pregnant?Oops, maybe she was worried that she would be punished to kneel down, so she just talked nonsense to exonerate herself, right?Even if she doesn't understand the rules, she still knows that things related to dragonborn must not be taken so lightly. If she tells a lie, she must be punished severely, and it is definitely a much heavier punishment than kneeling down.
"I..." Thinking of this, Qi Yan quickly raised her head to retort, but felt a slight pain in her hand, it was Su Mi who took her hand from the side and squeezed it lightly, Qi Yan's words froze, Su Mi had already warmly said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry. I know that my sister also finds it hard to believe, so she has been worrying about gains and losses. She didn't even dare to invite the imperial doctor. Now the situation is different, and it's about the emperor's heir, let alone the empress. You just need to relax. "
The empress had come to her senses, she immediately smiled, and said: "This is a great joy, it's so good, the emperor has always been weak, since the younger sisters entered the palace, I have been looking forward to doing more for the royal family. Scattering leaves, adding sons and blessings." Turning around, he called the chief eunuch of Fengyi Palace beside him and said, "Cao Fuhai, report to the emperor quickly. Then send someone to invite the Imperial Physician Qin from the imperial hospital."
Without waiting for the Queen's order, Yu Rui, the female officer next to her, has already stepped forward to help Qi Yan up, and Su Mi together.
At this time, all the concubines also came to their senses, and stepped forward to congratulate Concubine Ni. Although Concubine Ni's face was the most ugly, she did not lose her manners.
Concubine Yun stood there in a daze, lost in thought, she tried hard to put on a joyful expression, but her expression couldn't be controlled, she suddenly thought of her own child, the child who carried all her hopes, She didn't even have time to look at him, she wanted to persuade herself not to think about it, but she just felt cold in her heart, as if everything in this world was far away from her.At this time, everyone is surrounded by Qi Yan, and no one will pay attention to her gaffe.
Surrounded by the crowd, Qi Yan felt that she was just a roast chicken on a rack, and there was nowhere to escape if she wanted to.The queen's words had already brought the matter to a conclusion, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to say, she just winked at Su Mi desperately, hoping that she could explain.Su Mi stood outside the circle and gave her a comforting smile.
At this time, the little eunuch outside the door reported, "Qin Imperial Physician has arrived."
As if hearing a death knell, Qi Yan's face turned pale as paper.
Trembling and frightened, Imperial Physician Qin stretched out his beard, stretched out his fingers to rest on Qi Yan's trembling hand, and after a while, his face couldn't help but beam with joy, and said: "Congratulations to Liu Liang, congratulations to the empress, As expected, she is already a month pregnant."
Qi Yan couldn't believe her ears, and asked the imperial physician repeatedly.
Concubine Wen caressed her mouth lightly and smiled, "Look at Sister Liu's joy."
Qi Yan suddenly came to her senses, just now she was overwhelmed by surprise, and what she asked should not be said by her daughter's family, I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette, and it will make people laugh.She couldn't help lowering her head and blushing.
The queen comforted: "Prince Qin is a master of gynecology and a steady old doctor in the imperial hospital. My sister will ask her another day. The days to come are still very long."
Qi Yan hurriedly claimed that she was right.
Su Mi leaned on the porch pillar and looked at the scene in front of her with a smile. I'm afraid that most people here would like to eat Qiyan raw, but they have an affectionate expression on their faces that they have been good sisters since the previous life.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Qiyan, Concubine Ni walked into Su Mi calmly, and asked softly: "Sister Su and Sister Qiyan really have an unusual friendship, even talking about such private things with my sister, Alas, I have always treated Qiyan as my own sister in Xifu Palace, and I don't know when sister Qiyan had such a happy event."
"Your Majesty is too modest, and Qi Yan has always been grateful for her care for her, but how can you be so embarrassing..." Su Mi smiled softly, with no flaws on her face, "And I'm not sure, What's more, the empress herself is sick, so why dare to disturb the empress for such a trivial matter?"
She is telling the truth?Still don't have fun?
Concubine Ni stared at Su Mi, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, then she smiled sweetly, and said flatteringly, "I'm not sure? My sister's words are inappropriate, right? How can such a big thing as being pregnant with a dragon descendant be confirmed without consulting the imperial physician?" ?”
"Your Majesty doesn't know that sister Qiyan's pregnancy has not been diagnosed by the imperial physician. It's just that my sister went to play with the concubine a few days ago, and she couldn't help nausea and vomiting after eating a few pieces of greasy food. The concubine then joked with her whether she was pregnant or not. She was pregnant, and she said she wanted to see an imperial doctor. It was only a joke at first, but who knew that Qi Yan would be fined to kneel today, and suddenly thought of this, even though it was only a one-ten-thousandth possibility , but it is related to the descendants of the dragon, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, the concubine is in a hurry and has no choice but to... Sigh, thinking that the concubine is also afraid, the palace rules are strict, if sister Qiyan is not pregnant, the concubine is not pregnant I made a serious mistake." Su Mi patted her chest in shock.
"Where is it? Sister Su has made great contributions to the royal bloodline. How can the matter of the dragon descendants be taken lightly? I must show credit for my sister later." Ni Guifei smiled, and she looked at Su Mi The look on her face, is what she said true?That little girl Qiyan really doesn't know.
It should be like this, I arranged it properly at Xifu Palace, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. Reminiscent of Qiyan's surprised expression just now, Concubine Ni Gui has already believed it by [-]%.Unexpectedly, this girl is so lucky!
At this time, the outside reported that the emperor had arrived.Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Qi Long had already rushed in, with a look of surprise on his face, he didn't even look at the prostrating concubines, he came to Qi Yan and asked eagerly: "But it's true?"
Doctor Qin saluted and said: "According to the doctor's diagnosis, Liu Liangren is indeed pregnant for one month, the pulse condition is calm, and the fetus is very safe." The queen next to her also bowed and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and pass on the Jin Liu family as a talented person." Qi Long's voice was full of joy, from a good person to a talented person, he was promoted to two ranks just after he was pregnant, which shows the emperor's desire for this child.He is 22 years old and has never had a son.Although the concubines in the harem also became pregnant several times, most of them disappointed him. So far, only Concubine Wen gave birth to a daughter safely.
Concubine Ni Gui interrupted and said, "Since sister Liu is pregnant, the punishment this time is based on my concubine's opinion. Why don't you copy "Girls' Training" instead, and hand it over to the empress after the copying is complete. The empress and younger sister Yun will read it." Is it appropriate to wear it?"
"What punishment?" Qi Taki couldn't help asking.
Concubine Ni Gui immediately said: "It's not because Sister Qiyan wore the wrong piece of Sister Yun's clothes just now, and Sister Yun refused to let her go, so she must punish Sister Qiyan to kneel and apologize." She tactfully explained what happened just now. "Speaking of which, it's thanks to Su agreeing to speak up for Sister Qiyan, otherwise Sister Qiyan might really think that the palace rules are far more important than the emperor's heir, so she will obediently punish and kneel."
"It's just a piece of clothing, so what's the point of punishment? As one of the six concubines and the lord of the first palace, how can you be so narrow-minded?" Qi Long looked at Concubine Yun displeased.
Concubine Yun felt so wronged, but no matter how much she felt wronged, painful and lonely, she could only swallow it in her stomach and knelt down obediently to plead guilty.
"Okay, okay, Sister Yun is just following the palace rules and being in a hurry, don't blame the emperor." The queen comforted. "It's just that this time Su promised to be credited, and he has been serving the emperor with all his heart. This role should also be promoted."
"Well, let's just be here forever." Qi Long looked at Su Mi beside him with a smile: "I have always known how virtuous you are."
Su Mi hurriedly knelt down to thank her.
Qi Taki helped her up with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, are you feeling better? Can you eat that Korean ginseng?"
Su Mi replied shyly one by one, and said: "Your Majesty, let's quickly go and see Sister Qiyan. The heir is the most important thing now."
Only then did Qi Long walk up to Qi Yan's side again, with a few soothing words, he turned to the queen and said, "Queen, you are the lord of the six palaces, and I know your talents, so I will entrust the child to you this time. Be sure to take good care of it, and don't lose anything!"
"The emperor has an order, how dare the concubine not do her best? It's just..." The queen quickly glanced at Concubine Ni Gui, and said: "Liu Cairen and Sister Ni have always been on good terms, and they live in Xifu Palace, so it is better for the concubine to be with you Sister Ni took care of Liu Cairen together, and the concubine was always careless, in case the dragon veins were not taken care of well..., Sister Ni was as careful as a hair, considerate and considerate..." The queen said while looking at Concubine Ni with a smile.
Concubine Ni Gui couldn't help but look a little ugly again.
"In that case, let you and Concubine Ni take care of it together," the emperor waved his hand indifferently.
Concubine Ni had no choice but to accept the order with a nod.
The queen is also a shrewd person, and she reacted so quickly.Su Mi sighed secretly.
What happened today is obviously Ni Guifei's method.Instruct the maid to secretly exchange the clothes of the two.She calculated that Concubine Yun hated Qi Yan deeply, and when she found out that her clothes were worn wrong, she would never let it go and demanded severe punishment.
For Qiyan's behavior, if it is serious, it will be demoted and banned, and if it is light, it will be punished by kneeling and beating.
Now that Qiyan is being favored, the empress will definitely not severely punish her. Most likely, the eunuch of the commander of ceremonies will punish her with more than a dozen boards, or make her kneel for several hours. No matter what it is, the child in her stomach will probably not be able to keep her. up.When the time comes, the emperor will pursue the investigation, and both the concubine Yun who caused this incident and the empress who handled it will not be able to escape the suspicion of "acting recklessly and murdering the emperor's heir". Not happy.
Killing three birds with one stone, not only got rid of the child, but also dragged the queen and concubine Yun into the water, this move is really clever.
It's just that the queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Knowing that it is Concubine Ni's conspiracy, she naturally refuses to fall into this troubled water, and she must pull Concubine Ni down together. Now the two are jointly taking care of the child. , no one can get away with it.
After this incident, the concubines would naturally not be in the mood to enjoy the flowers, after the emperor went back to Xifu Palace with Qi Yan.All the concubines bid farewell and left.
Afterwards, Qi Yan also secretly asked her with a coy face: "How did my sister know that I was pregnant?"
Su Mi smiled and said: "I saw my sister talking about my vomiting and nausea symptoms that day, which reminded me that it was the same when there were pregnant women in my family. It's just that I don't know much about medicine, so I dare not tell my sister, lest I be happy in vain. It was just one episode. I thought that I would see the imperial physician in a few days, and I would know the truth. I didn’t expect to encounter such an accident. When I saw the crisis just now, I thought it had too much to do with it, so I couldn’t help but speak out.”
"But what if I don't get pregnant? My sister will be punished." Thinking of what happened that day, Qi Yan still has lingering fears in her heart.
"The emperor's heir is a big matter, so what does it matter if my sister is punished? Besides, how can I watch you suffer from the punishment of kneeling in front of the palace." Su Mi laughed.
"My sister is really kind to me," Qi Yan said moved, then lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "It's not like them..."
Su Mi looked at her expression and sighed secretly. Although this girl is simple, she is not stupid. She must have doubts about what happened that day.
"Liu Cairen's place is very lively today," Mi Hong rushed in excitedly, she had just gone to Xifu Palace with Xiao Luzi to deliver gifts there. "The emperor rewarded a lot of things. I think Liu Cairen's palace can't be piled up. When we went, we just met the eunuch in charge of the queen mother's palace. We took a group of young eunuchs to hold a long Xiao Luzi and I were listening to the titles, it’s terrible, just the hairpin has everything Ruyi hairpin, Meiying Caisheng hairpin, Jingfu Changmian hairpin, Renfeng Pufan hairpin, Tianbao Qingyi hairpin, Qing Yunyongfu hairpin, green snow with fragrant hairpin, ten thousand year auspicious hairpin, sapphire dragonfly head flower, red coral cat butterfly head flower, golden silk opera bead head flower, Yaochi Qinggong side flower..." Looking for red while breaking Pointing his finger, he said happily.
"Okay, okay, have you said enough? I know you're greedy." Mi Qing interrupted her impatiently.
Only now did Mi Hong see that Su Mi's face was not very happy, and she resigned in embarrassment, after all, she was still in high spirits, and ran to the backyard to hold Xiao Luzi and started talking endlessly.
Seeing Su Mi's thoughtful expression, Mi Qing asked, "Master, what are you worried about?"
"It's nothing. I just remembered what happened this morning. I didn't expect the queen to be so shrewd. I have to be more careful in the future." Su Mi sighed.
That night, the emperor stayed with Concubine Wen.
In the middle of the night, Su Mi took out the pills that had just been prepared a few days ago. Inside the white jade box, the small brown pills exuded a faint medicinal fragrance. Su Mi twisted one and put it in his mouth.
