Directly in front of Fubi Pavilion is a large piece of nandina, and on the right across the path is a piece of spring plum.
On the left, there is a trail. It’s Luming Lake.
Fu Bi Pavilion is built high, so you can clearly see Luming Lake. The light rain made small spots on the lake ripple one by one, and the whole lake seemed to be alive.
Shen Chuliu put his hands above his eyes and looked around through the mist caused by the rain. He found a touch of white among the pink spring plums: "Is that a white plum?"
"Master, those are two pear blossoms." Zi Rui said.
"Oh?" Shen Chuliu smiled: "It's not a white plum after all. The pear blossoms are prettier than the white plums."
"What you said makes those who think they are noble feel disdainful." Qi Yixiu sat drinking tea and said while looking at the scenery.
"The emperor also said that he claims to be noble, but that is false. I don't care about that." Shen Chuliu also sat down.
"Pear blossoms are extremely intolerant to rain. I'm afraid they will be all over the ground tomorrow." Shen Chuliu smiled: "The ancients said, 'The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alleys sell apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty.' Now it is the palace that listens to the spring rain all night. The ground in Merlin will be covered with snow tomorrow.”
"My beloved concubine is very talented in literature." Qi Yixiu said.
"Your Majesty is really careless, it's obviously not elegant." Shen Chuliu snorted.
Qi Yixiu looked at her, smiled and said nothing.
Set your sights on Luming Lake.
Shen Chuliu stopped talking and turned to look at the lake.
It was rare for him to have some free time with the emperor, and he stayed there quietly for a long time while looking at the rainy lake.
When Shen Chuliu felt cold and his feet became cold, Qi Yixiu said: "Is it cold? Let's go."
"The emperor has something else to do today? If not, how about going to be my concubine?" Shen Chuliu tilted his head and invited the emperor.
Qi Yixiu smiled: "Since my beloved concubine invites you, how dare I not go?"
"Your Majesty, it's true that you have given me face, yet you still raise me to such a high level. I won't be fooled." Shen Chuliu snorted.
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything, he stood up and held her hand.
His umbrella is big enough, so it can cover even one more person.
It was a coincidence that the rain stopped just after they returned.
Both of them were a little speechless.
Shen Chuliu asked someone to help the emperor change his clothes first, and then took a bath in hot water. Thinking of the help of the servants in Cuiyunxuan, he had just prepared the things he needed.
There is no need to go to the kitchen to boil water, it can be done here.
Before the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I asked someone to go back and get some clothes, so I changed into something in time.
After finishing it, I sat comfortably outside and talked.
"Your Majesty is in such a good mood today." Shen Chuliu poured hot tea for Qi Yixiu.
"My beloved concubine is not in a good mood?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"That's naturally good. There's nothing wrong with it. The emperor is in a good mood, so I'm naturally very happy. After seeing the beautiful scenery again, I'm naturally happy everywhere." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu pulled her to sit next to him: "My dear concubine, I have a clever tongue. I am only 30% interested in it, but when I ask you to talk about it, I am 70% interested."
Qi Yixiu looked at the lamp placed on the cabinet: "Do you like this lamp?"
"I like it." Shen Chuliu looked at the lamp: "But if it breaks one day, will the emperor give me a new one?"
Qi Yixiu looked at her: "How dare you break what I gave you as a reward?"
"The ancients said that the good things in the world are not strong, and the colorful clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle." Shen Chuliu said with a smile: "My concubine is following the emperor's wishes. Where is this dead thing?"
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything, but these words entered his heart.
Until I went back the next morning, I kept thinking about the saying "Colorful clouds are easy to scatter and glass is crisp" on the road.
He thought of Yi Fei. Yi Fei is the fragile glass.
Others can survive in this court more easily than she does.
In Changle Palace, Concubine Yi is actually doing much better, but her whole person is completely different from before.
Her health is no longer what it used to be, so even if she is well, she cannot withstand even a little bit of trouble.
And living in the palace, it is impossible not to see other people.
Even if you don't see it, you still have to hear it, and you must not touch it.
On the first day of March, Fengzao Palace greets you.
Today the Queen Mothers of the two palaces are going to Cheng'an Temple to pray for blessings.
So the queen basically didn't waste time here and went directly to Tai Chi Palace.
After the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, Qi Yixiu and the Queen led everyone to see off the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.
They will stay in Cheng'an Temple for at least half a month.
After seeing off the two empress dowagers, everyone went back.
As soon as Shen Chuliu returned, he saw the emperor's reward arrived.
She was still a little dazed, but she smiled and said, "I congratulate Jing Jieyu on her birthday. This is a gift from the emperor."
Shen Chuliu suddenly realized that this was the first time: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking about me. Thank you for your help."
Laba smiled and left with his purse.
What was delivered were two wooden boxes, one large and one small. When you opened the larger one, you found a piece of tree.
Yes, it looks like a root carving, but it is not, but a smooth white tree with lush branches.
And not only that, there is something hanging on every branch.
Bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, and some hollow branches have hairpins or hairpins inserted into them.
"Ah! Is this a jewelry shelf?" Zi Rui was surprised: "It can also be placed on the table, so it will be very convenient for you, Master, to access."
"This is an ingenious idea." Shen Chuliu laughed: "What kind of wood is this?"
After looking at it, Zhemei said: "It's a ginkgo tree, a tree that means longevity. Congratulations, master, the emperor wants you to live a long and beautiful life."
Shen Chuliu burst out laughing and asked someone to open the small box. Inside the small box, there was an exquisite carved sandalwood box.
When he opened it again, he saw twelve identical wax pills.
"What is this?" Zi Rui was curious and saw a note under the box.
Expand it and see that it is a prescription.
Zhemei laughed after taking a look at it: "Master, this is something worth a thousand dollars!"
"What is it?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
"It's Shangyan Dingkun Pill." Zhemei said with a smile.
Zi Rui was puzzled: "Why can't Dingkun Dan be exchanged for so much money? Isn't it a very ordinary medicine?"
Although it is a medicine exclusively for the inner court, basically all the masters can have it.
Some slaves who are more respectable can eat it even if their master gives it to them. It is mainly used to regulate a woman's qi, blood and uterus. It is not a magical medicine.
"It's not an ordinary Dingkun Pill. The Shangyan Dingkun Pill contains herbs with a dead smell, which is very rare. Just this earth rock saltpeter alone is simply rare. This medicine can also nourish the skin, but it's not because the master has been exposed to it in the past. The previous Jiaoyan pills are not overbearing, but are gentle in conditioning. It can give people a good color and make their blood flow smoothly. The older the person is, the more beneficial it is. One thing, people who are weak should not take it, otherwise something will happen.”
"Then if you say so, this is rare." Zi Rui said happily.
