When Concubine Li and Concubine Xian entered the inner room of the Xuanzheng Palace, Wei Jiashu was already neatly standing on the side of the tent, and the emperor was crooked on the couch, although his complexion was still not good, but it was much better than the previous appearance of being unconscious with high fever.

The two hurriedly asked the emperor to be well.

The emperor's expression was indifferent and detached, and he only said "no courtesy" coldly, looking like he didn't treat people very well.

Wei Jiashu saluted Concubine Li, and bowed to Concubine Xian, "The emperor gradually subsided in the heat in the middle of the night yesterday, and he just woke up at this time, and he was still a little mentally tired. ”

Concubine Li bowed: "I told you to stay up all night yesterday, you must be tired this time, right?" It's just that the good concubine looks okay, not like she has stayed up all night......

Wei Jiashu said in his heart, fortunately, in the future, there are other concubines who take turns to serve the sick, and when the turn is over, the emperor should be cured, "The concubine is fine." ”

Concubine Li said softly: "Then you can go back and rest with peace of mind, and leave it to the palace and the virtuous concubine here." ”

Although Xuan Chengyi didn't want Jiashu to leave, he also knew that Jiashu finally slept for a while until the second half of the night yesterday, and it was only more than two hours before he could sleep enough, and Concubine Li and Concubine Xian came!

Wei Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief, and she bowed to the emperor: "Then the concubine will retire first." ”

Xuan Chengyi nodded with a sullen face.

After Wei Jiashu left, Concubine Li and Concubine Xian began to be busy waiting for the emperor to change clothes and wash, and to drink medicine and use breakfast.

Before he filled his stomach, Xuan Chengyi ordered: "Jiang Yongfu, move Zhang Kang a few times in, and then bring all the folds in!" ”

Jiang Yongfu hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Long live Lord, the important thing about your dragon body is ......"

What responded to Jiang Yongfu was the emperor's cold eyes.

Jiang Yongfu shuddered with fright, "Slave maid, let's go!" ”

As for Concubine Li and the virtuous concubines who were serving on the side, they didn't even dare to persuade them. This is a matter of the court, if the concubine is too talkative, to put it seriously, it is a political interference!

The virtuous concubine was quick-eyed, and hurriedly took four or five goose feather soft pillows and put them behind the emperor, so that the emperor could lean on them, and they could be a little more comfortable.

Xuan Chengyi leaned on a soft pillow behind his back, and a bunch of red stickers were first placed on the kang table, and as for other folds, because the kang was a little smaller, it rested on the long case at the head of the bed.

Seeing this, Concubine Li took the ink from the eunuch, quickly polished a pool of good red ink for the emperor, and then sent it to the emperor.

Since it is an urgent matter, the cabinet bachelor has been "drafting" overnight, and this time he is only waiting for the emperor's "red".

Xuan Chengyi carefully read the folds, examined the ticket plan again, and saw that the problem was not big, so he quickly wrote down a line of Zhu criticism.

"This ink is a little light!" The handwriting is half a minute lighter than before. Xuan Chengyi was slightly displeased.

Concubine Li hurriedly said, "The concubine will go and sharpen it again." ”

Xuan Chengyi's expression was calm, his eyes were staring at the fold unwaveringly, and he said lightly: "Ask the virtuous concubine to grind ink." ”

Concubine Li's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, the virtuous concubine hurriedly whispered: "Concubine Li's mother will rest for a while, and these rough jobs will be handed over to the concubines." ”

Concubine Li smiled reluctantly, "Then I'll go outside and stare at the emperor's medicine." ”

Although the virtuous concubine has not served the emperor for the longest time, she has her own ability to make the emperor use it for so many years. For example, when it comes to the trivial matter of grinding ink, although Concubine Li does not know how many palace affairs to read and approve every day, the errand of grinding ink is handed over to the personal palace people, so the skill of grinding ink, Concubine Li is not proficient.

But the hands and feet of the virtuous concubine are extremely sharp, she is obsessed with a good red ink, grinding it quickly and evenly in one direction, adding a small amount of water from time to time, and her movements are so skillful that she is afraid that she will practice a lot on weekdays.

Xuan Chengyi dipped his pen in ink again, and what he wrote was the word "quasi" in vermilion.

He bowed slightly.

There was a faint smile on the corner of the concubine's mouth, and when she saw that the emperor had finished reading another piece of paper, she hurriedly took the Korean ginseng tea and said, "The eunuch came in with the ginseng tea, does the emperor want to take a sip?" ”

Although Xuan Chengyi's fever subsided, his throat was still very dry and hoarse, so he put down the jade tube wolf's hair, took the tea cup, and drank it elegantly.

To serve the emperor, the most important thing is to have strong eyesight.

The virtuous concubine is undoubtedly the most discerning concubine, not only the best red ink, but also the words and colors, but at the appropriate time to serve tea and snacks.

This eyesight is not inferior to the royal attendants.

The inner dormitory was silent, and from time to time people from the palace brought tea and snacks in, but there was no sound at all.

The virtuous concubine is also gentle with her hands and feet, as if moisturizing things silently, only occasionally sounding the sound of grinding ink and the rustle of the words of the red pen.

Suddenly, the virtuous concubine fixed her eyes on the emperor's pillow, where there was a round pearl, the virtuous concubine wondered in her heart, and when she took away the empty tea cup, she instantly twisted away the pearl.

Only then did I find out that it was actually a pearl earring.

On the earrings, there are two large and small pearls, strung into a gourd shape, the small one is as big as lotus seed rice, and the big one is even bigger and rounder, which should be the Hepu pearl that was paid tribute last year.

The owner of this pearl earring can undoubtedly only be the concubine who served the sick last night!

However, how could the earrings of the good concubine fall on the emperor's pillow?!

The virtuous concubine was shocked in her heart, unless the good concubine was lying here last night, she would accidentally lose her earrings!

"Grind the ink!" Xuan Chengyi, who found that the red ink was almost dry, was a little unhappy.

The virtuous concubine was excited, but fortunately, the pearl earrings were held in his hands, and the emperor was focused on playing the music, so he didn't notice it.

The virtuous concubine hurriedly put away the earrings and quickly stepped forward to polish the ink.

"Is Fang being distracted?" Xuan Chengyi didn't squint, and asked lightly while looking at the folds.

The virtuous concubine whispered: "The concubine is weak after giving birth, and she is often in poor spirits. ”

Xuan Chengyi let out a faint "hmm" and continued to criticize.

At this time, Concubine Li walked in with a medicine bowl, "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready." ”

Xuan Chengyi, who was writing Zhu Pi, had an impatient look on his face, "Let it go, I'll drink it later." ”

The medicine is naturally best drunk while it is hot, Concubine Li hesitated for a moment, and then said to the virtuous concubine: "Remember to remind the emperor to drink the medicine later, and the palace will go to the queen mother to reply to the words." "-The emperor doesn't like her to serve by the side, so she just hides.

The virtuous concubine meekly responded with a "yes" and bowed her knees to send Concubine Li.

In the harem, the virtuous concubine has always been a gentle and polite person, and in the face of the high-ranking concubines, she has always been respectful, and she is even more deferential to Concubine Li, the palace concubine in charge, without the slightest disobedience.

But Rao is like this, Concubine Li has always been indifferent to the virtuous concubine.

This made the virtuous concubine very puzzled, how did the good concubine please Concubine Li and the concubine at the same time? Obviously, Concubine Li and the concubine are not on good terms......

The younger brother of the concubine is about to marry the cousin of the concubine, and Concubine Li still takes care of the concubine as always, for example, this time she is sick, and Concubine Li specially arranged for the concubine to serve alone last night.

Concubine Li walked out of the palace gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, only to feel a lot more relaxed, and she really had to be cautious and careful everywhere when serving the emperor.

"Concubine Li!" Wei Jiashu saw Concubine Li coming out of the hall, and hurriedly stepped forward, she lowered her voice and asked, "Did Niangniang see the concubine's earrings?" ”

Concubine Li: "......??" ”
