When a child is sick, she looks pitiful, but adults can't take care of her.
Not to mention Shujia, Concubine Qi also lay down due to excessive grief. After being sent back to the palace, she has been resting in her palace. Princess Shu also came into the palace to attend to her illness.
Li Wei personally went to Xukun Palace, the palace of Concubine Qi, to visit Concubine Qi.
At that time, Concubine Qi had just taken medicine and was resting. When she heard that the Queen Mother was coming, she got off the ground to greet her. As soon as she reached the door, Li Wei had already come over.
Concubine Qi and her daughter-in-law, Princess Shu, were busy saluting Li Wei.
Li Wei strode forward, took Concubine Qi's hand and said, "Concubine Qi should have a good rest if she is not feeling well. Why are you getting up again?"
Concubine Qi took Li Wei's hand and went inside. Li Wei looked at Concubine Qi, nodded and praised: "Concubine looks much better."
Concubine Qi sighed and said, "Hey, my heart still hurts from time to time. I just took Dr. Zeng's medicine and it's a little better."
Concubine Qi first invited Li Wei to sit on the kang, and then she followed her. Then the Princess of Shu brought tea, and Li Wei took the tea bowl. He glanced at the Princess of Shu and saw that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her childish look was still on her face. Maybe she was born in Tianfu, but her skin was dazzlingly white. I also saw that she had red lips and white teeth, and she was actually a pretty little girl.
"Is the princess in her late teens this year?"
When Princess Shu asked, she replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, I am fifteen years old this year."
Li smiled and nodded: "Slightly younger than my fifth sister."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi asked again: "I saw the Queen Mother's sister once when she entered the palace last time. From a distance, her figure, demeanor, and appearance were very similar to those of the Queen Mother a few years ago. Similar. But did the girl from the Li family say we were married?"
Li Wei shook his head and said, "No, now my parents have a daughter like this. She hurts like a baby. Several marriage proposals are not satisfactory, and they are still choosing slowly."
Concubine Qi said with a smile: "A family like yours has a queen, and now there is a queen mother. She is so rich and noble that even ordinary people will look down on her. You have to choose carefully."
Li Wei sat in front of her for a while and saw that although Princess Qi was taking medicine, she was in good spirits and she didn't look like a patient at all when talking to her. After sitting for a while, Li Wei said he was going back to Chongqing Palace.
Concubine Qi expressed her gratitude for Li Wei's visit and ordered her daughter-in-law to send Li Wei out of Xukun Palace.
Back at Chongqing Palace, Li Wei was still a little confused about Concubine Qi. There seemed to be nothing unusual about Concubine Qi, so she thought about asking her in person the next time Zhao Qian came over.
Li Wei dug out the pile of records sent by Luo Chong. She wanted to see who Wan Su had contact with in Xukun Palace during his lifetime. Starting from this point, it might be much easier to get the answer.
Li Wei opened the box and sorted through the records. Wan Su's relationship network was somewhat complicated, and he had more or less contacts with several palaces. The two maids Ziling and Ziwei of Xukun Palace had contacts with Wansu. These two maids with purple characters are the eldest maids beside Concubine Qi. She took out the transcripts of the two people and studied them.
Among them, Zi Ling's record is as follows: Wan Su is a very good person and very enthusiastic. Last time I caught a cold, she even took the initiative to help me go to the hospital to find medicine. The medicine was really good, and it was effective after taking it three times. I thanked her very much and gave her a plum blossom hairpin. Wan Su is a very cheerful person, but why can't he suddenly think about it? He will be out of the palace in another two years. We are about the same age, and we have agreed to hang out after we go out.
When Li Wei went to see Ziwei again, she always said that Wan Su was good and felt sorry for her.
Judging from the transcripts of the two men, there is nothing strange about them. Li Wei looked at it carefully and felt a little puzzled.
Li Jian was sent to Yunnan as he wished, and set out to say goodbye to Li Wei.
Looking at Sixth Brother, whom he had been friends with in the past, Li Wei said sincerely: "Sixth Brother, you should be good outside, work hard to serve the court, act decently and fairly, and be willing to endure hardship."
After saying these scenes, she added: "Remember to write letters home and never cut off contact."
Li Jian was slightly stern: "Wei Chen will definitely not disappoint the empress's teachings."
When Li Wei saw this brother, she couldn't help but think of her second brother, who had said goodbye to her and left for the United States alone without telling everyone. Come back ten years later. Brother Six is leaving here. The place he is going to is not too far away. He can come back to visit relatives when he is on vacation. I'll probably be able to come back in three to five years.
Li Wei is doing his best to protect his family. She frowned, and there was no one else in front of her. Li Wei whispered to him: "Brother Six, if you go to Yunnan, it is relatively close to the same place geographically. There is one thing I want to tell you solemnly. You must pay attention to it for me." ”
Li Jian said hurriedly: "If the Queen Mother has anything to do, just ask her."
Li Wei lowered his voice and told him how smart Li Jian was. Although Li Wei didn't say it explicitly, he already knew it. He was surprised in his heart, but his face was very calm.
"Don't worry, my dear, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Li Wei said again: "Well, please. When the critical moment comes, you can find a way to contact the elder brother. Maybe he can come in handy."
"yes!"
After Li Jian left, Li Wei went to Linglong Pavilion. The magnolia tree in the yard was in full bloom, with white flowers blooming all over the tree, and a faint fragrance drifted in with the wind.
She took out a pen and paper, and began to carefully trace the flowers and trees outside under the window. However, because she was preoccupied with something else, the few strokes she drew were inadvertently splashed with ink. One painting was ruined.
Li Wei lost his mood and continued painting. Seeing Li Wei's preoccupied look, Lan Hui kindly tried to comfort her: "My Lady, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in bloom, why not go to the Imperial Garden to relax."
Li Wei followed Lan Hui's suggestion, and Lan Hui sent a message to prepare the sedan. Li Wei said: "Okay, it's not too far. I'd better walk. It's good for your health to move around more."
The sun was already setting at this moment, and the setting sun was glowing all over the yard. Li Wei's plain white clothes also seemed to be covered with an orange-red glow.
This is the season when flowers are in full bloom. Begonias are the most planted in the garden. From Xifu Begonia to Tiegan Begonia and White Begonia, they are all in full bloom.
Li Wei stood under a stick-stemmed crabapple, whose red flowers were as gorgeous as rouge. She couldn't help but pick one off and put it to her nose to smell it, but there was no scent at all.
The water in Taiye Pond has also risen. There is a grasshopper boat in the lake. The boat girl is holding a pole to salvage wild aquatic plants and clean up the garbage on the lake.
Not long after Li Wei entered the Yibajiao Pavilion and sat down, she heard Lan Hui report to her: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is here."
Li Wei looked in the direction of Lan Hui's finger and saw Concubine Jinggui coming towards the pavilion with her attendants.
