After Lan Ning left the palace, Concubine Hui happened to come to Furong Palace.
Concubine Fu sat down with her to have tea and talk, because they talked about cousin Lan Ning's marriage.
Concubine Fu wanted her to help with the visit.
"Is she Miss Jin Lingyi from the Jin family? She is indeed a good girl." Concubine Hui said, "When I was little, she wasn't very conspicuous. Now that I'm older, she's getting better and better.
The Jin family has a good family background and teaches their children well. Coupled with the relationship of the fifth prince and concubine, it is not difficult to find a good family. "
"I think so. Leaving aside Lan Ning, this child is also good in everything. You know that I don't want to be a nosy. That's why I agreed this time." Concubine Fu sighed as she spoke. He took a breath and said, "It's just that it is a big deal for a woman to get married. Since I have agreed to it, I have to do it well. Otherwise, wouldn't I be letting her down?"
"Sister has a kind heart and is good to everyone," Empress Hui Fei sighed, "Among the existing princes and concubines, Lan Ning is the most outstanding, and her cousin must be right too.
It seems that if our seventh child was still alive, he would have reached the age to discuss marriage. "
Concubine Hui said no more. Concubine Fu knew that the death of the seventh prince was the saddest thing for her.
For many years after that, Concubine Hui was depressed, and it was not until recent years that she finally let go of it in front of others, but she still makes her sad when she thinks about it.
"Don't be too sad. For one thing, you still have the Sixth Princess by your side. What's more, people like Lao Wu and others are worried and scared every day, walking on thin ice, how can it be easy?" Concubine Fu comforted her.
"Speaking of which, I went to the Queen's Palace to pay my respects a few days ago. She also said that arrangements should be made for Liu Yatou's marriage, but it would have to wait until after the emperor's ceremony." Concubine Hui forced a smile and suppressed the sadness in her heart.
When men are older, they should get married, and when girls are older, they should get married. No matter how reluctant they are, they still have to let their daughters get married at the right age.
"It's best to marry in the capital. It's convenient for me to come to the palace to see you whenever I want." Empress Fu Fei was really thinking about Concubine Hui. "While the matter is not settled yet, plan in many ways so that everything can come true."
"I think so too. I have been weighing this matter over and over in my mind these days. But I see that the Queen's temperament is not very high, so I don't dare to say anything." Concubine Hui said with some embarrassment.
"It's not good to tell the Empress directly. My sister might as well discuss it with Manager Liang." Concubine Fu said clearly, "Or Concubine Xian, they can talk to the Empress."
"Sister is absolutely right, look at me, I only know how to be anxious but don't know how to think of a solution." Concubine Hui laughed at herself happily, "I had to remind me to do it."
The weather has been sunny for several days, and May is about to enter. The pomegranate trees in front of the palace steps are covered with buds.
"It was cloudy and not sunny a few days ago, but now it's better. People exposed to the sun are almost melting." Chi Su complained as he walked into the room. Seeing Xue Hengzhao leaning on the bed, he asked her, "Why haven't you come yet?" Going forward? The emperor sent a lot of tribute melons, which are perfect for eating in this weather."
"My spleen and stomach are not suitable for fruits." Xue Hengzhao said lazily, "In addition, I didn't sleep well last night, so I am too lazy to move now."
"Can you see the comb I broke two days ago?" Chi Su walked to the dressing table and asked her, "I remember leaving it here casually."
"Is there any use for that thing?" Xue Hengzhao asked her as he stood up slightly.
"It's of no use. I thought about throwing it away." Chi Su said while rummaging around there. "People say that you shouldn't keep broken things because it will harm your health. I see that you have been lazy and lack of energy recently, so I thought Just clean up the house, and if there is anything broken or unnecessary, just throw it out and get it done."
"No need to look for it, I'll handle it for you." Xue Hengzhao smiled.
"Hey, when did you become so diligent?" Chi Su also smiled.
"You remind me that I should take a look." Xue Hengzhao slowly stood up and took out the small glazed jar from under the bed.
"Why did you put this thing under the bed?" Chi Su was confused and came over and asked, "What is that thing in there? It's scary to look at it like that."
Xue Hengzhao did not explain to her, but brought a cloth over and wrapped the glass vat, and said, "Is Concubine Hui gone already? Let's go over and have a few words with Concubine Hui."
"We have been gone for a while," Chi Su said. "Our lady is leaning sideways at the moment. In less than an hour, it will be time for lunch."
"Then it's a good time to go there." Xue Hengzhao said and walked out.
"Wait for me, I'll take the things." Chi Su quickly caught up from behind.
Concubine Fu was lying on her side on the short couch, and Bi Shu was gently beating his legs.
"Why are you two here?" When Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su walked in quietly, Empress Fu Fei happened to take a nap.
"You have disturbed your Majesty's purity," Xue Hengzhao said with a smile, "There is really something important."
When Concubine Fu heard her say that there was something important, she naturally didn't dare to neglect her. She asked Bishu to help her up: "What's the important thing? Tell me quickly."
Xue Hengzhao then placed the glazed vat on the Xiangyun table in front of Concubine Fu and removed the cloth.
Several people present looked at the glazed jar together. The bottom of the transparent jar was covered with white fluff. You could vaguely see a few things placed at the bottom of the jar, but because they were all covered by the white fluff, they couldn't see anything for a while. Can't tell what it is.
There was only one thing uncovered, probably a piece of wall.
"This is...my broken comb?" Chi Su pointed at a flat and vaguely toothed thing at the bottom of the tank and asked, "Why did it become like this?"
"This is the mahogany comb," Xue Hengzhao nodded gently, "I put it in for only a day."
"What is this white hair?" Concubine Fu asked with a frown, "How could it cover the comb so quickly?"
"The empress heard what my slave told me in detail. That day, young Eunuch Chen from the imperial prison came over and said that the roof of one of the warehouses was leaking because of the continuous rain.
At that time, Sister Fangdian and Sister Youzhu, I went over to take a look. We saw that the leak was not severe and nothing inside was damaged.
At that time, everyone was arguing, saying that the people who repaired the house in the previous two months were really unreliable, and it just started leaking after a heavy rain.
The slave also felt strange at the time that repairing the warehouse was an extremely important task. If something really happened, none of the workers would be able to escape. How could they be so negligent?
So when I got closer and took a closer look, I saw that the wall was wet with running water, and the wall skin was even crispy. When you look closely, the white lime appears faintly greenish-gold.
The slave girl felt something strange, so she picked up a piece of wall tape and brought it back without warning.
Put it into a glass jar, and put a corner of cloth under it to keep it moisturized. This is the raised part here. But just overnight, the cloth was covered with white hairs and became as pulpy as mud. "
Xue Hengzhao said and poked the bottom of the jar with the bamboo chopsticks he brought.
I have slightly modified the previous content so that there are no white hairs on the wall.
