Speaking of which, what happened this time was thanks to Lotus Root for recognizing the true form of the honey lily flower.
It was also at this point that Shen Qingyi knew that Lian Ou had followed her father around to seek medical advice when she was young, and she also knew some medical skills!
"Lotus root, let me ask you, is there any flower that has a similar shape to this honey flower and can be substituted?"
After thinking for a moment, Lotus Root said: "The flower house once cultivated a flower called 'Foxtail Lily'. This flower has a light fragrance and is similar in appearance to this honey lily. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell it apart."
Hearing this, Shen Qingyi immediately said to Lian Ou: "Very good, Lian Ou, you can quietly go to the flower room tomorrow and ask for a pot of foxtail lily. Remember, this should be done quietly and don't alert others."
"This slave knows."
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for seeing through the "Flower Scent Trap", reacting quickly, relaxing the enemy's evil intentions, and gaining 1 Palace Fighting Point! 】
Lu Luo was a little puzzled when she saw Shen Qingyi was putting so much effort into it: "Little Master, since we have discovered the trick of that beauty Miao, we can throw away this honey flower and it will be over. Why do we need to find another pot of flowers to replace it?" "
Shen Qingyi looked at the pot of nectar flowers next to the bronze mirror and said slowly: "The person who harmed you will not repent just because you saw through her conspiracy. Instead, he will get worse. In this case, it is better to let her think that It would be better for her to succeed in her evil plan than for her to change her mind at the last moment.”
He was seriously injured this time, and it would be at least more than a month before he could walk around.
If I spend this month spending time with this pot of honey lilies day and night, I will really understand Miao Beauty!
"Lotus root, thank you very much this time."
Lotus Root scratched her head and smiled naively: "It's good if I can help my little master."
Looking at Lotus Root's pure and kind face, Shen Qingyi thought of what Fuling had done and closed her eyes deeply.
…
Time is like water, and more than half a month has passed in a flash.
Shen Qingyi's waist injury has almost healed, but the scar on her back is like a gangrene attached to the bone and cannot be removed no matter what.
Luluo was so worried that she went to the hospital to get various ointments to remove scars, but none of them worked.
Shen Qingyi herself seemed to be fine and didn't mind at all.
In other words, she was confident, so she didn't take it to heart.
During Shen Qingyi's illness, the emperor came several times, but she rejected her as "unsuitable to meet the saint". However, this move did not offend the emperor, but made him feel more guilty. After all, Shen Qingyi's injury was caused by him. A moment of negligence gave Concubine Jin an opportunity to take advantage of her.
But Shen Qingyi knew that the heat was almost there.
"Pothos, help me dress up."
Luluo picked up an ebony comb and gently twirled it between the tips of Shen Qingyi's waterfall-like hair: "My lord, you don't know that a lot of new things happened in various palaces during your illness."
Shen Qingyi stopped tracing her eyebrows and was a little curious: "Oh? Tell me."
"First, Concubine Xian and Concubine Yu took away the power of co-managing the Sixth Palace from the Queen's hands, and the Queen became furious in Fengyi Palace; and then the Emperor favored the newly-entered ladies in the palace one by one. When it was Li's turn to choose an attendant, Concubine Yu was again Intercepted..." Luluo kept chattering, as if she wanted to tell Shen Qingyi all about the harem.
Shen Qingyi's eyebrows moved slightly, her thoughts flowing.
The fact that the queen's rights were divided was within her expectation.
But when the emperor came to her Lan Yue Pavilion, he expressed his condolences; while he favored the beautiful girl, she was a little surprised when she fell.
But after being surprised, Shen Qingyi quickly calmed down.
That's right, right now, she only gained some pity from the emperor, but has not entered his heart. How can we end up talking about it?
Fortunately, she was very sober, and she was just acting towards Jamel Xiao from beginning to end, without any real feelings.
"Of the eight new beauties who have entered the palace, Li Xuan is average-looking and has no family background. If I were Concubine Yu, I would also cut off her beard." Shen Qingyi slowly picked up a hairpin and inserted it into her temple hair.
Seeing that Shen Qingyi was not impatient, Luluo stamped her feet and said, "My lord, why did you say it as if nothing happened?! Now in the palace, you and Shi Xuan are the only ones who are not sleeping with you!"
"Now is not the time." Shen Qingyi patted Lu Luo's hand, stood up and turned around, and asked with a smile: "How is it?"
Under the sun, Shen Qingyi wore a white fairy skirt that trailed to the floor, and her green silk hair fell like a waterfall. The collar is like a caterpillar, and the hands are like catkins. See elegance in agility and refinement, see freshness in cuteness. Although her appearance is average, her figure and posture are truly beautiful!
Luluo sighed in admiration and covered her mouth: "The feng shui of the palace is really nurturing, my little master, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
"You're the only one with a poor mouth!"
Shen Qingyi tapped the tip of Luluo's nose and took the rabbit fur cloak from Luluo.
Today and tonight, she will make Jamel Xiao sleepless all night for her sake!
…
Fengluan Palace.
Concubine Yu was wearing a phoenix feather dress and looked in the mirror for a long time: "Xiangwan, do you think I am more suitable to be a queen?"
Xiangyuan praised: "My queen, you are so humble. If the emperor hadn't favored the Ye family, how could Ye Qingmei have become the master of the middle palace? And regardless of her age and beauty, she is far inferior to you, how can she be worthy of you?" Comparable?"
The words of Xiang Yu are very useful to Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu smiled proudly and brushed the Luanfeng hairpin on her temples: "That's right, the emperor is just giving the queen a little favor. As for Concubine Xian, Concubine Jin, Shen Qingyi and others, don't take it seriously!"
When Xiang Wan heard the name "Shen Qingyi", she subconsciously wanted to remind Concubine Yu to be careful.
After all, bystanders know better.
Xiangwan saw that Shen Qingyi had gone from being a small constant in the palace to being a nobleman now, and had escaped from danger many times. She was definitely not the "brainless" that Concubine Yu said. However, now that Concubine Yu was in high spirits, she didn't So much to say.
…
Drinking wine and toasting each other, the clothes are fragrant and the hair on the temples is beautiful.
The annual Lantern Festival is celebrated by the whole palace.
Since the emperor issued an order to divide the rights of the queen between Concubine Xian and Concubine Yu, Concubine Xian was responsible for all matters of the Lantern Festival.
"My dear concubine, you have worked hard to organize the Lantern Festival this time." At the banquet, Jamel Xiao raised his glass in the direction of the concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian smiled slightly and responded to Jamel Xiao’s toast.
At this moment, a young eunuch outside the door shouted, "The imperial concubine has arrived——!!"
Everyone looked up.
I saw that the person who came was wearing a brocade with Four Happinesses and Ruyi cloud pattern, with gold silk and soft smoke as a foil, and a long skirt that trailed to the floor, making her look very noble. The red beads on her temples swayed with each step, making a jingling sound when she moved. The skin is as thick as fat and the air is like orchid, and she is so charming and boneless.
It was Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu bowed softly and looked at Jamel Xiao affectionately: "I thought that I hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, so I concentrated on dressing up. I was late for a while. Please forgive me."
"Get up, it's difficult to walk on the snowy road. My beloved, it's been a hard journey all the way." Jamel Xiao greeted him with concern and didn't care.
Which of the concubines here is not a human spirit?
Concubine Yu's Fengluan Palace is only a few steps away from the banquet place. How could she be late?
I'm afraid he was deliberately trying to intimidate the queen.
Sure enough, when the queen saw Concubine Yu's steps shaking at her temples, the nails in her sleeves almost broke off, but she still had to pretend to be gentle and virtuous, and said to Concubine Yu with a smile: "My sister came late and did not catch up with the emperor to toast. Just now, Concubine Xian’s sister was given a toast by the Emperor, praising her for her self-restraint and hard work."
The atmosphere was slightly stagnant, and everyone's expressions were incomprehensible.
But unexpectedly, Jamel Xiao seemed not to hear the queen's overtones, and smiled faintly at Concubine Yu: "It doesn't matter, since my beloved concubine is here, I can just respect her alone."
Concubine Yu was moved and raised her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Just when the queen was about to say something, Yingchun walked in with the second prince from outside the main hall and bowed down to Jamel Xiao: "I bring the second prince with you to pay your respects to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed and safe."
Everyone's eyes fell on the frail and thin second prince, and they all whispered:
"In the past, it was Concubine Jin who came with the Second Prince to say hello. Why did she miss this opportunity to show off today?"
"You don't know yet? Last time Concubine Jin lynched Shen Guiren and was punished by the Queen Mother. Now she is still meditating in Baohua Hall."
"No wonder the second prince seems to be wilting. I'm afraid it will be difficult without Concubine Jin's support?"
"No, I heard from the imperial doctor that the second prince..."
"..."
When Yingchun heard the rumors, she suppressed her sorrow and pulled the second prince beside her: "Hurry, second prince, kowtow to the emperor quickly."
However, the second prince had just recovered from a serious illness and was still in a daze. Seeing that he was being pointed at by many people and looked at condescendingly by Jamel Xiao, he couldn't help crying "Wow!"
Yingchun was shocked and turned pale. She hugged the second prince and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me. The second prince is still young. He..."
Jamel Xiao waved his hand, with a look of boredom on his face: "As a prince, what does it look like to cry all day long?!"
Hearing this, Yingchun sighed deeply.
Originally, she was entrusted by Concubine Jin to bring the second prince to pay respects to Jamel Xiao, and she also thought of using the "Lantern Festival" as an excuse to ask the emperor to release Concubine Jin from the Baohua Palace, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be self-defeating.
After Yingchun left with the second prince in her arms, the queen saluted politely: "Your Majesty, calm down. The second prince has been having nightmares since he fell into the water last time. He must not have gotten used to it yet. Why don't we send the second prince to Baohua Palace..."
The emperor glanced at the empress with a nonchalant look, and interrupted directly: "Concubine Jin herself can't control her own words and deeds, how can she discipline the prince? The second prince is in the elder brother's house, and has his own grandma to take care of him, so no one else needs to worry about it. "
Jamel Xiao refused to give the queen face in public, and the queen felt a pang in her heart and quickly winked at the concubine Xian beside her.
Concubine Xian stood up immediately and said: "Since the Lantern Festival last year, Your Majesty has not sealed the harem for a long time. The status of the new sisters who have entered the palace and have inherited your favor has not changed. Your Majesty, look..."
The words of Concubine Xian were naturally taught by the Queen.
When they were in the East Palace, Concubine Xian and Concubine Jin took refuge with the Queen one after another.
It's just that Concubine Jin is in the light and Concubine Xian is in the dark.
Therefore, except for the queen and the concubine Xian, no one else knew that the concubine Xian was actually the queen's person.
Hearing Concubine Xian's words, Jamel Xiao smiled without a trace and said lightly: "In that case, then I will follow what Concubine Ai said."
