Chapter 81 Bolt from the Blue

The next day, Zhengyang Palace

According to the practice of the country, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, the concubines in each palace will go to pay their respects to the queen. This day is exactly the first day. Before the Chen Dynasty, the empress's palace was full of Yingying. It was very lively.

Queen Duan was busy organizing a palace banquet a few days ago. She still had a bit of tired look on her face, but she still accepted the greetings from her concubines with a gentle smile on her face.

Feng Ling glanced around, but did not see Zhen Jieyu. She was about to ask, but saw Baozhu, the close-fitting palace maid beside Yu Ling, hurriedly begging for her to see her.

Where is your empress? The queen asked

Qi reported to the Empress, my empress is in poor health and is resting in bed. She cannot come to pay her respects today. She specially sent a servant to apologize for her on behalf of her. Baozhu knelt down and reported to him.

Yesterday's banquet was so cool, and I had to serve Your Majesty again at night. No wonder I fell ill! A concubine in pink palace outfit whispered in a low voice.

Isn't it? I just had a bedtime service and couldn't come to pay my respects. I was so arrogant! Another concubine wearing an apricot yellow skirt also answered

The queen glanced at the two jealous concubines with a stern look and said coldly: Linpin, Fangpin, have you forgotten the rules in the palace?

Although the queen looked amiable, she had a very high prestige in the palace. When she heard this, she looked terrified and hurriedly knelt down and said: I don’t dare!

Your Majesty has always hoped that the harem will be harmonious, and most hated the concubines will attack each other in order to compete for favor. As the queen, I should do my best to maintain the harmony in the harem. I will go back and regret it for three days. I will copy it ten times.

After punishing the two concubines, the queen turned around and gave Baozhu a kind instruction: The weather in the north is cold and the earth is cold, and Zhen Jieyu is delicate and precious. I am afraid she will not be able to adapt to the climate here for a while. Have you ever had an imperial doctor to see a doctor?

The Empress said that the Imperial Doctor had already visited him and said that he was not seriously injured. He just needed to take medicine on time and stay in bed for a few days.

Well, I'll let Jieyu take good care of her illness when I go back. I have some good ginseng here in this palace. You can take some back for Jieyu to use.

The servant, Xie Empress, cares about her, Baozhu knelt down and thanked her, and then went down with the reward. The concubine Shu Yuan Huizhi behind her stared at her back and showed a thoughtful look.

Naturally, Yu Ling didn't take the queen seriously, but was really injured and couldn't get out of bed. She stayed in bed for three days before she recovered the unsightly injuries on her body.

After lying on the bed for three days, Yu Ling was so depressed that she could finally get out of bed and walk. When she happened to be in the good weather after the snow, she held her hand warmer and wore a sable fur, and took her to the imperial garden to enjoy the plum blossoms and relax.

Baozhu was originally worried about Yu Ling's body, but when she saw that she walked out and her face became much rosy and her mood became much cheerful, she felt relieved.

The master and servant walked around happily for a while, then went to the small pavilion to rest, opened the small box basket she carried with her, quickly took out the tea leaves, teapots and small stoves that had been prepared in advance, and took out the clean snow water to make tea.

When I was in Luoyang, whenever it was snowing, Yu Ling liked to take her around to enjoy the snow. When she saw a beautiful place, she stopped and enjoyed the snow while cooking tea. She was full of elegance and boundlessness.

It's so elegant to enjoy the snow and cook tea. Can you add me one? Shufei Yuan Huizhi walked over with a smile

It's my sister. Yu Ling smiled and stood up to greet her. If my sister doesn't dislike her, she will naturally welcome her.

Yuan Huizhi took Yu Ling's hand intimately and sat down side by side with her. She held the tea bowl gracefully, took a sip of tea, and suddenly sighed: Sister Yu lives in Huainan for many years, and she rarely snows there. I remember that when I was a child, I was very happy every time it snowed. I always pestered my brother to take me out to play with the snow. Now in this Longcheng, there are four or five months of snow in a year, which makes people unable to get the interest of enjoying the snow.

Seeing Yuan Huizhi showing a sad look, Yu Ling couldn't help but feel homesickness, and sighed quietly: Do you often miss your family here?

Of course, we women have to get married, and we should follow our husbands when we get married. We should be so destined, so we can only obey

Yu Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, and she felt a little dissatisfied, but she didn't refute her. After all, everyone has their own ambitions and can't force her.

Suddenly, a small figure from afar gradually ran closer, and Yuan Huizhi exclaimed: Isn’t this the Prince?

The boy also saw the two beauties in the pavilion. After hesitating for a moment, he came over to salute them and approached him and saw his appearance clearly. The young man, who was about eleven or twelve years old, looked quite handsome, and his deep outline was five or sixty-sixth like Yuwen Qinglan, but his narrow phoenix eyes looked very much like Queen Duan. Needless to say, he must be Yuwen Hongyan, the eldest son born to Yuwen Qinglan and the queen.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Qinglan's son is so old. Yu Ling was a little surprised. After careful examination, she found that the prince looked depressed and his eyes seemed to be red.

Hongyan, was he punished by His Majesty again? Yuan Huizhi stepped forward and pulled the prince's hand a few steps and asked softly

It was a child who was stupid and did not answer the question of his father's school entrance exam correctly. Yuwen Hongyan murmured with his head down, looking a little depressed

Hongyan, don't be sad, take your time, your father is also very loving and harsh, you must not be discouraged. Yuan Huizhi smiled and touched his head, comforting him

Well, I understand that I will work harder. Yuwen Hongyan nodded, his dark eyes shining brightly, and he looked quite obedient and cute

Although Yu Ling hated Yuwen Qinglan, such a well-behaved and sensible child was really pleasing. He couldn't help but smiled at him with encouragement.

Her expression was as cold as ice and snow, but this smile seemed to be like spring returning to the earth, with a bright light. Yuwen Hongyan was stunned for a moment, then his little face turned red and lowered his head, thinking, this is the new favorite concubine of his father, the legendary Princess Lanling, it is indeed... extraordinary...

Yu Ling looked at the little prince with a blushing face and left, unaware that his unintentional smile had been deeply imprinted on the other party's young heart.

That... Yuwen, no, is Your Majesty always so strict with the prince? Yu Ling couldn't help but ask curiously

Yes, not only the prince, but His Majesty attaches great importance to the education of several princes. He often takes their homework in school, and he will be punished if he can't answer... Yuan Huizhi paused for a moment and continued, His Majesty is in a bad mood recently, and the prince is afraid that he will run into it today, so it's particularly miserable.

If you are in a bad mood, just take your child out of your mood? What kind of education is it? Yu Ling curled her lips, felt quite disdainful, but asked again: Why is Your Majesty in a bad mood?

I heard that it was because of concern about military spending. The 100,000 army had been confronting the Wei army in Jiangbei for several months. The military spending was huge, which led to the tightness of the national treasury. Your Majesty was trying to raise money. I heard that Your Majesty had captured many wealthy businessmen in Luoyang and forced them to hand over the money. I also heard that there was a man named Ji who was known as the richest man in Luoyang. Because he refused to hand over the money, he was thrown into the prison by Your Majesty!

What...what! Yu Ling was shocked when she heard this. She almost threw the tea bowl in her hand in excitement. Are you saying true? What is the name of that person whose surname is Ji? Is it Ji Fengqing?

Alas, it seems that it is called this name! Why? My sister knows this person?

Oh, no... No, I just heard of this person's name and didn't know each other. Yu Ling was inconvenient to tell the truth, so she had to say a few words casually, but this fatal bad news completely ruined her interest in enjoying the snow. She chatted for a few hurriedly and stood up and returned to the palace on the excuse of being unwell.

Writer's words:

One wave has not yet subsided and another wave has started again. What should Ling'er do? Let's see if the wave number is broken down next time

By the way, suddenly I feel that Xiaomata Hongyan is also very Cute, I really want to tease her XD
