On this day, everyone went to Yikun Palace to greet the imperial concubine again early in the morning. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they could smell the pungent smell of medicine inside. When they walked in, they saw that Aunt Tongyun had placed them in the center of the courtyard. A bamboo mat, put some herbs on it to dry.

Several concubines couldn't help covering their noses.

They whispered, "What does it look like?"

"That's right, she's still a dignified concubine."

"The emperor ignored her, and she just abused herself like this? After all, she is still the head of the harem."

If it was normal, the concubines in the palace would never dare to say the right and wrong of the imperial concubine in the Yikun Palace. These days they watched the emperor neglect the noble concubine and moved their minds a little, but even so, they spoke very quietly. .

However, the sound of Xixiuosuo still attracted a cold glance back at Concubine Yi who was walking in front.

Several people immediately lowered their heads.

Concubine Yi said: "When we arrived at the Yikun Palace, the younger sisters should be more careful. The concubine and the concubine never liked people who talk too much."

"..."

"I don't like it if I have many hands and feet."

Although a few people felt resentment in their hearts, after all, their positions were only concubines, and they did not dare to argue with Concubine Yi.

So Na Na said, "Yes."

Concubine Yi turned around and walked into the main room.

With all kinds of thoughts, everyone went in to greet the imperial concubine, but saw that the imperial concubine did not feel lonely after being left out, or looked for someone to vent her anger. On the contrary, she seemed more peaceful and gentle than usual, although she could see the rest. It wasn't very good, but he tried to perfunctory them, and even had a warm chat with Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi probably also had doubts in her heart, and while she was talking, she asked, "Why did the niangniang take so many medicines in the yard?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Before Ben Gong asked Delu to go out of the palace to buy some, and I was going to supplement it after the fall. However, it was raining a few days ago, and these medicines were going to be moldy, so I took advantage of these two days. The weather is good, take it out and dry it quickly."

Concubine Yi looked at her: "My lady's body...do you need to take so many medicines to supplement? What's wrong?"

Nan Yan only smiled and didn't speak.

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know whether the imperial concubine was as taboo as the emperor, or whether she was unwilling to mention this matter to make everyone worried, but since she didn't want to talk about it, everyone naturally didn't ask much, and after a few gossip, everyone got up and said goodbye. .

After walking out of the Yikun Palace, the newly concubine Kang Concubine Guo Shi immediately exhaled a long breath: "Alas, the smell inside really kills me."

Several concubines around also said: "Isn't it true, Concubine Yi is really good at flattering, even complaining will not let us complain."

Guo Concubine sneered and said: "No one in the palace knows that she is close to the imperial concubine. Even her daughter is a gift from the imperial concubine, but it is not like offering the noble concubine as a bodhisattva. It's just that she is now a clay bodhisattva."

A few people were also careful in their hearts, and immediately said, "Keep your voice down."

Concubine Guo gave them a blank look: "What are you afraid of?"

Everyone laughed and didn't say much. When they arrived at the branch, everyone went back to their respective residences, but after Guo Concubine returned, she did not rest, but instead asked the palace maid to sip her temples in front of the mirror. , plus two pieces of jewelry.

Then he asked, "Is the dessert ready?"

The maid Rulan behind her said softly, "It's done."

Guo Concubine immediately said: "Then, let's go."

She had already inquired clearly. Last night, His Majesty the Emperor did not go to the Yikun Palace, but stayed in the imperial study for the night. After going to the early court today, he went straight back to the imperial study to handle government affairs, and he is still there today.

She planned to send some snacks for the emperor on the pretext to see if she could get close.

Rulan hurriedly went out to spread the word, and another big palace maid, Mingyue, walked in with a snack box.

Unlike Rulan, the palace maid who was born in Guo's house and entered the palace with Guo's family, Mingyue is the palace maid in the palace, and she knows some things in the palace better than them. She is also used to seeing concubines in the palace who are eager to attract the attention of the emperor in order to win a little favor, but over the years, these concubines have flowed like flowing water, and the one that remains is the one that looks as stable as Mount Tai. , the noble concubine who can't be lustful regardless of pampering or humiliation.

Mingyue thought about it again and again, and said softly: "Concubine Kang, don't give this snack. The concubine has always disliked people from the harem who went to the imperial study."

Guo Concubine gave her a cold look: "If the imperial concubine doesn't like it, won't you let it do it?"

"..."

"If the imperial concubine doesn't like me, then am I still alive?"

Mingyue was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and said, "The maiden's words are serious. The slaves are just, just want to remind the maiden, the emperor is not used to people sending things to the imperial study."

Guo Concubine said coldly: "The emperor is not used to it. I'm afraid it is because the concubine doesn't like it, and everyone dare not go there, so they are not used to it. Now that the emperor is also cold to the concubine, there is no need to take her words as an imperial edict."

After he finished speaking, he didn't bother to pay any attention to her anymore, so he just said to Rulan, "Go get it."

Rulan immediately went over and took the dim sum box in Mingyue's hand, and the master and servant went out the door arrogantly.

Mingyue looked back at the backs of the two of them, and only let out a long sigh.

Soon, Concubine Guo took her graceful and graceful to the imperial study. The door was closed, only the windows were open, and the study was quiet. There were only a few guards standing outside, and Xiao Shunzi was guarding the door. Besides, when he saw her coming, he subconsciously frowned.

But he still came forward immediately: "Concubine Guo."

Concubine Guo smiled politely at him and said, "Eunuch Shun, the emperor is still busy."

Xiao Shunzi said: "Yes, the emperor read the papers all morning and specially ordered that no one should disturb him."

"..."

This is clearly blocking her.

Concubine Guo's face sank slightly, but she also understood that the noble concubine has been favored in the palace for so many years, and the foundation is naturally deep.

So, she said unhurriedly: "Father-in-law, I don't want to go in and disturb the emperor, but I just heard that the emperor's appetite is not very good recently, so I specially asked the kitchen to make some snacks."

As she said that, she took the snack box and presented it to Xiao Shunzi in person.

Then he smiled: "I heard that the emperor likes chrysanthemums, so he specially prepared chrysanthemum cakes in it. If you eat it at this time, you can see clearly."

Xiao Shunzi glanced down.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but he still smiled respectfully: "Concubine Guo has a heart."

"..."

"However, as the emperor ordered, no one can go in and disturb."

"..."

"Slave, you can't disobey the emperor's intentions."
