Ning Guiren always smiled lightly. As long as His Majesty likes whoever she is, she will be that kind of person. If His Majesty likes to be quiet, then she will be a quiet person.
There were not many concubines in the harem, and there was no intrigue at all, so she lived a comfortable life.
I just want to be with His Highness quietly like I am now, watching him eat the food that I have prepared so hard. This is great happiness.
Every time I come here, I can smell a strong medicinal smell in the house. I feel distressed when I smell this smell.
Your Majesty has been taking decoctions over the years, but your body is still coughing intermittently due to the same thoughts. In severe cases, you may even cough up blood.
Every time, I can only pray silently in my palace. Your Majesty is such a good person, why is God so unfair to him, giving him such a weak body!
I just hope that God can open his eyes and let His Majesty get better slowly.
After finishing the meal, Ning Guiren helped Yuan Heng sit down at the desk. At a glance, he saw several pictures that had been drawn on the side. The shape of the orchid was outlined in a few strokes.
"Is this an orchid?" Ning Guiren took a picture and looked at it, "The picture your majesty drew is indeed beautiful. So it turns out that your majesty likes orchids?"
No wonder Ning Guiren would say this. Yuan Heng has always been in poor health. Being able to handle government affairs has already consumed most of his energy. He even rarely visits the harem. He drinks medicine to recuperate in his free time. There is no leisure time. Elegantly paint these flowers and plants?
"The orchids are elegant and beautiful."
Yuan Heng took a look at the pictures he had just drawn, and inexplicably started to draw a few pictures of orchids. Just as Chu Xin said, looking at the pictures, it was like going back to the past.
It turns out that so many years have passed.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right!"
Ning Guiren smiled and nodded. In his opinion, whatever Yuan Heng said was right!
If you like orchids, you can tell me that some orchid patterns can be embroidered on the clothes you make in the future. It’s not for any other reason than to make His Majesty happy.
When I left, I was in a good mood, because Yuan Heng seemed to have a good appetite today and ate most of the food he was given. In the past, he only tasted a few bites.
This means that the food I prepared today is very good, and I must follow this standard in the future.
After Ning Guiren left, Yuan Heng stopped writing. For some reason, he felt that he was in a better mood today.
Thinking of Chu Xin who was beaming with joy because she drew a picture of orchids that night, watching her kneeling on the ground with gratitude, it seemed that the picture really gave her great comfort.
At that time, his heart seemed to be very complicated, so he finally had a little use. A random picture could become another person's comfort.
That night he got sick again and kept coughing. Every time he got sick, he always felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Why did he dislike his body for being so weak?
Looking at the people around me running around, I always feel a little ashamed, as if I always make them so anxious because of my own affairs, especially when I build a medicine garden and always have medicinal materials ready.
Sometimes when I look at the anxious faces of Imperial Physician Song and his daughter, I feel a little guilty. It is all because of myself that they are so anxious.
Every time at this time, I will fall into deep self-loathing. I hate myself. I hate myself for such a weak body. Why do I have to drag down so many people around me?
Thinking about how he had to plan everything for his father when he passed away, in fact, he was not worthy of sitting in the position of a king because of his physical strength. It took him most of his time to take care of himself every day, and he was already dealing with government affairs. Just barely.
If he hadn't been born into an emperor's family, he might have become a useless person long ago.
When I realized that the person who was there that night was Chu Xin, it was only after I met that little princess many years ago that I realized how ruthless time is!
It turned out that Chu Xin had lived such a miserable life. Her legs seemed to have been broken. Wearing a veil, you could vaguely see deep scars on her face.
But she seemed to be so strong and didn't care about her physical injuries at all. She boldly said that she wanted a picture of orchids, saying that looking at the picture would remind her of the time when she was still with her mother.
He didn't refuse, and he had a vague idea of sympathy. If the picture he drew could give others some comfort, that would be good.
Sure enough, looking at Chu Xin's eyes seemed to brighten in an instant. Looking at her kneeling on the ground with a grateful look, she felt that she was of some use, right?
It is not as weak and useless as imagined, but it can also help another person to be happier, as if the pressure buried in the deepest heart is slowly relieved a little bit.
Because he is not as incompetent as he thought.
"Thanks to Sister Xin'er that night, I don't know what she said to His Majesty. Your Majesty was actually willing to drink the medicine I sent you. I was thinking of saying something to persuade him!"
A Yun and Qiao Xia were going to the Royal Study Room to deliver the medicine. There was no delay in preparing the medicine prepared by the medicine garden every day. His Majesty had become less fond of medicine recently, always saying that the medicine was too bitter.
But good medicine tastes bitter, and there is nothing you can do about it. Your Majesty's body is already so weak. If you don't take the medicine, you may not even have the confidence to hold on.
"Yes, as long as His Majesty can drink the medicine."
Qiao Xia nodded in agreement. In their opinion, His Majesty's health is the most important thing. What's more, His Majesty is so generous and kind. They all sincerely hope that he can live a long life.
"Jinxiu, did you hear what they were saying?"
At the corner, Ning Guiren walked out with Jinxiu beside him. When he saw Ayun's back entering, his eyes became a little cold.
"What did you hear about Miss Xin'er?"
Jinxiu lowered her head and said exactly what she just heard.
I did hear the word "Miss Xin'er" mentioned in Ayun's mouth. It seems that she is still living in the medicine garden. It seems that she is still related to His Majesty?
"What on earth is going on? What are you hiding from me?"
Ning Guiren looked away impatiently. He was about to leave when he heard what Ayun was saying, so he took Jinxiu and hid around the corner to hear more.
As expected, I heard the big secret. Who is that girl Xin'er? Is she a palace maid? What does she have to do with His Majesty?
Ning Guiren's face became a little ugly. She had not felt this way in the harem for a long time.
Originally, there were not many concubines in the harem who were all quiet and quiet. Even if there were one or two who wanted to be jealous, it didn't matter. His Majesty would never like such people.
Unexpectedly, she had neglected the medicine garden over the years. Every time His Majesty got sick, he would go to the campus to stay for a few days. She didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that they were just slaves serving others.
But now it seems that there is a lot to be said!
"Slave, please ask someone to inquire and see what kind of person is hiding in this medicine garden!"
Jinxiu said quickly, feeling keenly that the master seemed unhappy. In fact, who would have thought that the harem had been peaceful for so many years, and only the master could stay with His Majesty.
There is an inexplicable addition of a woman in this medicine garden. No wonder the master would be so concerned about it.
After returning to his palace, Ning Guiren still felt uncomfortable, and Jinxiu waved the tea she handed him, not wanting to drink it.
As soon as she entered the palace, she became His Majesty's favorite, and she was the only one who could always be by His Majesty's side. No other woman could compare with her.
She has a gentle and quiet temperament and is the most popular with His Majesty. None of the other concubines can compare with her.
There was no jealousy in the harem, so the life was really comfortable, and I had long been accustomed to the feeling that I was the only one who could accompany His Majesty.
"I just feel a little uncomfortable. Didn't you hear what that girl said just now? It was because of the persuasion of that girl Xin'er that His Majesty was willing to take medicine. When did Your Majesty treat a woman like this? Have you obeyed my advice?"
This is what really makes Ning Guiren feel unhappy. Sometimes His Majesty doesn't want to take medicine, and even he can't persuade him. How come another inexplicable woman can persuade him?
It is precisely because I know this that I feel really unhappy.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Maybe he is just an ordinary palace servant? His Majesty was not in good health at that time and it was impossible not to take medicine. Maybe he just wanted to take medicine after a few simple words of advice. Woolen cloth?"
Jinxiu was a little nervous. She really didn't know how to find an excuse. In fact, she knew her master best. She was usually a very gentle person, but once she encountered something about His Majesty, she was always a little paranoid.
Just like when I heard the girl called Xin'er just now, my person had changed in an instant.
"Shut up!" Ning Guiren looked over coldly.
"Why do you think I pay attention to an inexplicable woman? When His Majesty didn't want to take medicine, I tried to persuade him, but His Majesty never listened. Now a woman who suddenly appears out of nowhere is like this With a big effect, doesn’t it mean that his status is higher than mine?”
"I don't dare! I really don't dare to think like this!"
Jinxiu hurriedly knelt on the ground, almost crying with grievance.
It seems that the master encountered these things again, which is why he became like this. In the past, whenever there was a little bit of jealousy, the master would become particularly indifferent.
He is usually such a gentle person, but whenever there is something about His Majesty, he becomes like this.
"That's enough! Get up!"
Ning Guiren turned his head irritably, feeling that his heart was beating wildly. He really hated this feeling, and felt that he was no longer unique.
"No need to worry, noble man. Anyway, as long as we know who it is that wants the principle and know her name, we will definitely be able to find out who she is, and she will definitely not become a threat to you!"
Jinxiu was already ready to order someone to investigate. If she was sensible, she would be honest. Although the noble person seemed gentle, she would never let anyone climb on her head.
"Go quickly!"
Ning Guiren rubbed his forehead, feeling that today's good mood was ruined by that name. He was so happy when he came out, and His Majesty actually ate most of the things he prepared. In the past, he only tasted a little bit at most. .
I also thought about the pictures of orchids I saw. Could they be related to that woman?
When Ning Guiren thought of this possibility, he immediately shook his head and refused to think about it again. How could it be possible?
How could His Majesty pay so much attention to an inexplicable woman and even draw several pictures?
Ridiculous, just don’t be too ridiculous, it’s absolutely impossible!
Ning Guiren could only deny it silently in his heart, hoping that things were not what he thought, and it was best not to be like that, otherwise he would never be lenient.
