When we arrived at Zhongcui Palace, it was quiet inside and out. Bu Changzai had rested after being tired after wandering outside for a long time, while Wu Yashi in the east side hall was sitting cross-legged and writing in red under the bright window.
When Hui Gui came in, she didn't call anyone to announce her. She only saw the thin man bent on the Kang table. She didn't even notice when he approached quietly. She didn't even look up until he moved the paper on the table and just said with a smile: "
This is the last one, I’ll take a break after finishing it.”
Hui Guiren smiled: "Are you going to take the No. 1 exam?"
Lan Qi suddenly looked up when she heard the sound, and was surprised to see Hui Gui coming. She hurriedly got off the kang to salute, but Hui Gui pulled her to sit down together and said kindly: "You continue writing, I just came to see if you are okay."
, I heard Bu Chang say that you are not feeling well, the donkey-hide gelatin candied dates sent by Mingzhu Mansion the day before yesterday are the most nourishing for qi and blood, so I wanted to give them to you to try."
"Thank you for thinking about me." Lan Qi still didn't dare to leave the guest and continue writing. She called Huanchun to serve tea and served it to Hui Guiren with her own hands. She also asked if she would like to invite Bu Changzai to come over and talk. The way to Hui Guiren is,
"I've been talking to her all day, and I just came here to see you."
Lan Qi agreed and sat quietly aside. Seeing Hui Guiren's maids, Huan Chun and others voluntarily left and retreated wisely. Only in this situation did she understand that Hui Guiren might have something to say to her.
Sure enough, while admiring Lan Qi's handwriting, Hui Guiren said casually: "Yesterday, the carriage and horse came back joltingly, and Concubine Zhao was not feeling very well. Although she was very good at riding horses, she couldn't sit in the carriage. It was strange.
of."
Lan Qi smiled faintly, but in fact, what happened under the Empress Dowager's carriage yesterday was still stuck in her heart at this moment, and the words of the Empress Dowager made her understand that the word "self-care" is too luxurious in this palace.
Hui Guiren raised his eyes and saw her expression, and knew what he was thinking. He sighed softly and said: "I don't know if I will annoy you if I talk too much. It's just that I have been in the palace for a long time and have seen too much.
Others can see through it better."
"If Sir Hui has any advice, I would be very grateful." Lan Qi knew that she had something to say, and was no longer modest. She stood up and said, "I am young and inexperienced, so I must have shortcomings. Please feel free to give me your advice."
"
"Sit down..."
Outside the palace, Huan Chun used a hand stove to warm the hands of several court ladies of Hui Gui. He looked up and saw Grandma Wang sneaking out. She couldn't help but scornfully muttered: "Where are you going to be lazy again?"
On this side, something went wrong with the earth dragon in Yikun Palace. The palace was filled with smoke and fire. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was hurriedly sending people to repair it. Concubine Zhao stood in the corridor and glared at the people coming and going. Dongyun kept fanning her.
The surrounding air advised the master: "Why don't you go sit somewhere else, there is such a strong smell here."
Concubine Zhao sneered: "I've already been smoked, why should I go anywhere else? The Emperor no longer comes to Yikun Palace. If I bring bad luck to others, why don't I think it's enough to be laughed at behind their backs?"
Dongyun didn't dare to say anything more, and just waited carefully. Not long after, the little palace maids came over. Concubine Zhao saw them whispering and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"
Dongyun also said inexplicably: "It's fine, the steward of Zhongcui Palace came to say hello. She is really an old fool and doesn't even look at the situation here."
Concubine Zhao didn't care at first. After thinking about it for a moment, she couldn't help but the slender eyebrows on her face trembled slightly. She raised her hand and covered her mouth slightly, as if she disliked the smell in the palace. In fact, she whispered to Dongyun, "Old mama, pay attention to this.
I will be of use in the future."
Dongyun understood and asked the maids around him to carefully serve his master. He slowly retreated and went outside to talk to Grandma Wang.
