In this harem, what could be more illusory than the love of an emperor? Since she entered the palace, she has not been favored. The emperor has occasionally favored him twice. Facing the handsome emperor, she was moved. This emperor was the first and only man in her life, and she was so handsome.
But after a long time, watching this man move around in different women's palaces, and watching his indifferent eyes when looking at her, she gradually let go of her thoughts and stayed peacefully in the harem. Although it was not a good time, it was also Unlike the women who entered the cold palace, the Jiang family was considered a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other concubines in the palace did not deliberately feel sorry for her.
Seeing Zhao Chongyi's appearance in front of the emperor today, her eyes that couldn't hide her secret love made her a little stunned. She always thought that Zhao Chongyi had been smart since she was left out, so she was promoted from Zhuang Wanyi to Zhao Chongyi. Now, it seems that she is smart, but she just moved her heart that shouldn't be moved.
She wanted to laugh at this woman's stupidity, but she felt bitter in her heart, and felt a little pity for this woman in the Mood for Love, but thinking about her current status in the palace, how could she have the qualifications to pity others. Looking away, don't look at the soft weed wrapped in the emperor's palm. This palm warmed Zhao Chongyi's hand today. Who was holding it yesterday, and who will it be holding tomorrow
Feng Jin did not have a deep impression of Jiang Xianbi, but only remembered that she was a humble woman. The Jiang family was a scholarly family in Jiangnan, but unfortunately this Jiang Xianbi did not have the talent of the scholarly family, but was taught by books to be dull and boring, but this way The woman in the harem is also at ease, at least clean.
"Since you have to meet two beloved concubines, why don't you go with me," Feng Jin let go of Zhuang Luoyan's hand and glanced at Yuanzi, "I'm afraid I'll be watching the scenery later, but I can't stand the sun."
Zhuang Luoyan and Jiang Xianbi naturally saluted and accompanied by their side. Compared with Jiang Xianbi's woodenness, Zhuang Luoyan's eyes were much brighter, like a colorful picture, so even if it was as quiet as Feng Jin , and occasionally say a few words along the way.
"Everyone in the palace loves colorful flowers, but I think these pine and cypress trees are full of energy," Feng Jin pointed to a few pine and cypress trees not far away, "What do the two concubines think?"
"Dignified and upright, the wind and rain will not rush," Jiang Xianbi replied respectfully, "The pines and cypresses are evergreen all year round, it is better. In the world, the emperor is taller and more upright than these pines and cypresses, more dignified, and more unhurried by the wind and rain"
Feng Jin nodded when he heard the words, but he was undecided. Then he looked at Zhuang Luoyan, and seeing her thoughtful expression, he said, "Concubine Ai doesn't agree with the words of the concubine?"
"Sister Jiang's words are naturally reasonable, but the concubine didn't think so much," Zhuang Luoyan smiled shyly and pointed to the shadow under the pines and cypresses, "It must be cool to be in those places in the summer. For the concubine, the emperor It is a towering tree, and it is a beam that tops the sky." After speaking, he pointed to an inconspicuous little flower at the foot of the pine and cypress, "The concubine is the little flower that leans against the tree, and may never know all about the ability of pine and cypress, but she Relying on pines and cypresses."
For a man, what could be more reassuring than knowing that a woman depends on him for everything? After hearing this, Feng Jin saw that Zhao Chongyi had a hint of shyness on her face, as if she was embarrassed by these shallow words but didn't know how to save it, and said with a light smile, "The emperor wants to be like a pine and cypress, but a pine and cypress. But not quite like a king."
"The concubine made a mistake, please forgive the emperor." Jiang Xiancong's face turned pale when she heard this, and she knelt down.
Seeing Jiang Xianconcubine's expression, Zhuang Luoyan wanted to kneel after him, but was stopped by Feng Jin, "Jiang Xianconcubine doesn't need to do this, why are you guilty?" Although he was not dissatisfied with Jiang Xianconcubine's words, But in the end, he was not interested in Jiang Xianconcubine's unruly appearance, so she gave a few words of comfort and stopped talking.
When Jiang Xianbi heard that the emperor called her "Jiang Xianbi", she bit her lower lip and stood up and stepped aside. The sun was shining on her face, making her feel a burning pain in her cheek.
Feng Jin changed his tone and said to Zhuang Luoyan, "Concubine Ai compares herself with flowers, why don't you go and see what flowers are under the tree?"
This is a clear flirtation, Zhuang Luoyan smiled shyly, and in his heart he strongly despised the inferiority of men, but he said: "The emperor is taking this out of context, and the concubine is just a metaphor for where is it? compared?"
It has always been a flower without a hundred days, and a person without a hundred days of red. Even if the beauty is like a flower, but the beauty will eventually have a day, her mind is very normal, how can she treat herself as a flower, let alone such a pitiful flower
More importantly, if the flowers under the tree grow dry, she will be in big trouble.
At this moment, Zhuang Luoyan actually wants to slap himself, calling you cheap, and telling you to forget that no matter how serious a man is, there is also a serious side!
The group approached the inconspicuous flower, and Zhuang Luoyan breathed a sigh of relief. Although this flower was not as good as the flower that the Queen used to admire a few days ago, the white flower looked so much in the green leaves with pale gold edges. Kind of cute and elegant.
"Your Majesty, this is the June Snow in Phnom Penh," Gao Dezhong stepped forward and explained softly: "Some folks use this kind of flower as a potted plant, and they are very jealous of the strong wind and scorching sun. The doctors love it as the white horse bone, and the slaves don't know much about medicine. However, I heard that this kind of flower has the effect of soothing the liver and blood, dispelling heat and dispelling wind, and I think it is a beneficial flower."
"Yeah," Feng Jin nodded and pondered: "Even so, I transplanted this plant into my palace. Although this flower is a little smaller, it looks elegant and pleasing."
"Yes," Gao Dezhong replied hurriedly, "The servant will let the gardener in the palace do this thing today."
"Do it well, don't hurt." After Feng Jin finished speaking, he turned to look at the sun hanging in the sky, and said to Zhuang Luoyan and Jiang Xianconcubine: "The sun is getting bigger, the concubines should go back earlier. ."
"Concubine retire," Zhuang Luoyan was blessed, glanced at the inconspicuous flower, and slowly took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.
It was not until after walking a certain distance, Jiang Xianbi who was walking beside Zhuang Luoyan said, "Although Yue Yuexue is resistant to the yin and the scorching sun, it is difficult to live under the pines and cypresses. If you were more comfortable, it might be better to drive."
Zhuang Luoyan glanced at Jiang Xianbi in amazement. Although Jiang Xianbi's words didn't sound familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no malice. Instead, she asked with some reminders, but she was pretending to be like this or sincere. , Zhuang Luoyan couldn't tell the difference, so he just replied: "Maybe that Yue Yue Xue loves that under the tree, you and I are not Yue Xue, how do you know if it is comfortable or not?"
"What my sister said is very true," Jiang Xianbi's tone carried something else. She took a close look at Zhuang Luoyan. This is a beautiful young girl, her eyes are not as good as her own, and she was worn out by the harem long ago. "It would be the best if I could live my life freely and happily." As a woman who has never been favored in the harem, she has no disgust or jealousy towards this Zhao Chongyi, but it's a pity that such a lively woman is so eloquent. Really wrong.
The two walked outside the Taoyu Pavilion, and Zhuang Luoyan invited Jiang Xianbi to drink tea. After Jiang Xianbi politely declined, she did not reluctantly. After sitting down on the soft chair, she said that she was dizzy and asked Fubao to pass the imperial doctor.
The imperial hospital heard that the favored Zhaochongyi needed a pulse, so it dared to neglect, and sent the useful doctor Tong to go to Zhaochongyi's office.
Imperial Physician Tong, who was in his forties, probed Zhao Chongyi's pulse through a handkerchief, and immediately found out that Zhao Chongyi was fine, but he couldn't say that in his mouth.
"Tong Taiyi said that, I am relieved," Zhuang Luoyan asked casually, "I heard that Sister Wang Concubine is ill today, is she in serious trouble?"
How did Tong Taiyi know about a little concubine Wang's illness, but when Zhuang Luoyan asked about it, he could only say: "Master Wang is not an official to ask for the pulse, the official is not clear, please forgive me, Master Zhao."
"Tong Taiyi's words are serious, I know that the hospital is busy," Zhuang Luoyan asked Tong Taiyi to get up and rewarded him with some things, and continued, "It's just our sisters who are always a little worried, think about it. I'd like to trouble Taiyi Tong to ask for a pulse again, I don't know if it will affect Taiyi Tong."
"The well-being of the masters is the responsibility of the lower officials. How can I bear the burden of the masters." Tong Taiyi immediately understood that Zhao Chongyi wanted the Taiyuan Hospital to treat Wang Concubine well.
After Imperial Physician Tong left Taoyu Pavilion and went to Jingyu Pavilion where Jiang Xianconcubine and Wang Concubine lived, Tingzhu came in with an ice bowl, "The people in this palace are all like this."
"Who's not," Zhuang Luoyan smiled, seeing that high and low is what normal people do. She helped Wang Concubine once today, but it was because of the kindness in Xie Jiangxian's words.
Although the woman of the scholarly family is good, she is not suitable for this palace. Fortunately, Jiang Xianconcubine ordered herself today, not someone else.
However, everything has a cause and effect. If it is someone else, it may not be able to get a word from Jiang Xianbi.
In the Jingyu Pavilion, Concubine Jiang was sitting on Concubine Wang's bed and talking with her, and a palace maid hurried in with a happy look on her face.
"Master, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital is asking to see you."
"You mean that Tong Tai doctor who is very skilled in medicine?" Jiang Xianbi looked at the palace maid in surprise, not to mention that it is not the time to ask for an Anmai, even a doctor like this would not come to Jingyu Pavilion.
"My servant heard that Imperial Physician Tong asked Zhao Chongyi for Taoyu Pavilion's pulse, so she came directly to our Jingyu Pavilion." The palace maid answered honestly.
"How did the person from Taoyu Pavilion help me?" Wang Concubine coughed, sat up a little puzzled, and panted slightly against the head of the bed, "Sister, do you know what's going on?"
"No matter what, it's reasonable to be optimistic about your treatment first," Jiang Xianbi gave Wang Concubine a reassuring look, and signaled the palace maid to invite Imperial Physician Tong to come in, and then continued: "You can be at ease."
Concubine Wang sighed, closed her eyes and regained her senses. She and Jiang Xianbi accepted that they are not favored people. No matter what Zhao Chongyi's thoughts are today, without her help, what would happen to her body, even her own Don't even dare to think about it.
When Imperial Physician Tong came, Jiang Xianconcubine saw that his attitude was polite and he was extremely careful in his pulse diagnosis, so he was even more sure that Zhao Chongyi had reminded this person. She remembered Zhao Chongyi's loving eyes when he saw the emperor's love and the words he said, and sighed softly, I don't know if it's for myself and Concubine Wang or for Zhao Chongyi.
Outside the Qianzheng Palace, the sun was shining brightly, but Gao Dezhong, the eunuch supervisor, hurried over with a eunuch holding a potted plant. He was relieved when he entered the Qianzheng Palace, straightened his robes, and walked into the main hall in a low voice. Said: "Your Majesty, the Phnom Penh June Snow potted plant is ready, I don't know where to put it?" If it were other potted plants, he would not ask about this, but today's one is a little different.
Feng Jin, who was reviewing the memorial, looked up and glanced at the June snow that the gardener was carefully holding in his arms, looked around, pointed at Luo Hansong on the flower stand, and said, "Put it next to it."
"Yes," Gao Dezhong glanced at Luo Hansong and signaled the gardener to place it carefully.
After it was set up, Gao Dezhong led the gardener to retreat quietly. When he retreated to the door and turned around, Gao Dezhong glanced at the Phnom Penh June Snow and Luo Hansong again, and walked out the door with his head lowered.
