Chunman Palace

Chapter 10
Mo'er bravely asked over there, "Who is that person in the tree?"

The black shadow in the bushes stopped moving, threw an iron tool aside, and with a few "rustling" sounds, an indigo figure emerged from it.

Seeing that it was a living person, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at each other in embarrassment.

The man asked rather hostilely, "Who are you?"

Mo'er replied: "Our young master is Lin's promise, is Xin Chang here?"

Xin Chang is here?The name seemed familiar, which made Lin Qingyu's heart tighten.

I remember that when I first arrived at Yaohua Pavilion, Mo'er once told her that a newcomer would arrive a few days late, but she didn't pay much attention at that time, so the matter was delayed.

"En." The "Xin Changzai" responded lightly, clapped the dust in his hands, and walked slowly towards Lin Qingyu, "You are Lin Promise?"

Lin Qingyu hurriedly bowed to the person: "Promise Mrs. Lin to greet Xin Changzai."

Xin Changzai's eyes were like eagles, he scanned her whole body carefully, and then said lightly: "Excuse me." Then he turned around and took the lantern from under the oleander, and found the short shovel that he had just lost.

Thinking of the previous faux pas, Lin Qingyu followed a few steps, and said in embarrassment: "Before my sister was ill and couldn't visit her palace. Qingyu is here to apologize to her." Take off the bag and hand it over.

"The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. This is a five-poison sachet made by my sister herself. It can ward off evil spirits and get rid of filth, have a good dream and calm the mind. I hope my sister will not mind accepting it."

Xin Chang looked back at Lin Qingyu, and while loosening the soil for the oleander with a short shovel, he replied, "No, I like to be quiet." Then he stopped loosening the soil, raised his eyes and took the sachet, " I take this."

Seeing that there was no one waiting around her, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but ask again: "Although it's night, it's still hot, why didn't my sister ask the people in the palace to do this?"

"Those court ladies and eunuchs are not good at handling mothers-in-law and mothers. Besides, I'm happy to do things like planting flowers and trees by myself." Xin Changzai shoveled it down, and then grabbed a dark object from the side and buried it in the soil. , Use a short spade to press down and beat flat.

Lingqiao screamed in fright: "Ah... my lord, it's a snake!"

Noise is forbidden in the palace at night, Lin Qingyu hastily gave her a hand to signal silence.

Xin Changzai glared back, and said mockingly: "The women in the palace are all so delicate and expensive, don't they even know the fertilizer? Let alone a little snake, I planted this oleander myself."

It turned out that the oleander that appeared out of thin air was transplanted by this Xin Gui, she didn't notice it because she didn't go out of the palace during the day.

Lin Qingyu smiled apologetically, "Sister is really talented."

"Is there anything else that Lin promised?" Xin Changzai's voice became cold again.

Lin Qingyu shook her head, "The younger sister will leave first." She returned with Lingqiao and Mo'er.

In Yaohua Pavilion, Lingqiao keeps muttering and complaining.

It was rare for her to have such opinions on people, and she muttered endlessly in Lin Qingyu's ear.

"Why is she always there? Although she is beautiful, her behavior is no different from that of a village woman! She also uses snakes as fertilizer, who does she look down on!"

She spoke violently, and this time she has committed a crime of disrespect.

No, from the first sentence she said about her master, it was enough for people to pull out her tongue.

Seeing that she didn't know it, Lin Qingyu interrupted her with an angry face: "Shut up, who told you to talk about the master like this, if you continue to be so unruly, I will send you to the Punishment Department."

Lingqiao hurriedly knelt down and confessed: "Damn it, servant girl. I was distracted for a while, so I won't dare to do it next time!"

Lin Qingyu was a little helpless.

After all, Lingqiao is a little girl, not calm and sophisticated enough, unlike Mu Gui who has an aunt in charge, she needs to give more experience to all these things.

She sighed softly: "Forget it, I won't pursue you today, let's go down."

Lingqiao quickly thanked her for not being punished, and retreated cowardly.

It was hard to sleep tonight, Lin Qingyu tossed and turned for a long time, and fell asleep after sweating.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xishan who was beside the queen came with a red box.

Lin Qingyu cleaned up and greeted her outside, only to see Liu Xishan with a smile on her face and said: "Lin promised, the empress invited the young masters of the palaces to celebrate the festival at noon, considering that it is inconvenient for you and Mugui to go, the special servants brought these eight-treasure rice dumplings, I hope The two young masters will recover soon."

She nodded, called Lingqiao to bring a tray, and said: "The empress is interested, I made these five poisonous sachets myself, please thank the empress for me, father-in-law."

Liu Xishan took it humbly: "My master's heart, this servant will definitely convey it to the empress."

After Lin Qingyu thanked her, she asked Lingqiao to send her out of the palace gate.

Back in the house, Lingqiao couldn't wait to open the red box, and saw that there were zong leaves spread inside, and there were peeled eight-treasure rice dumplings, white rice dumplings, and moxa juice bean paste rice dumplings, all of which were plump and attractive.

Not only that, you can still feel a little bit of coolness when you put your hands on it, and when you poke it with chopsticks, you can see that there are still full of ice cubes under the zong leaves.

Lingqiao happily said: "It seems that the empress is very concerned about the young master and Mr. Mu Gui. These days when the young master is sick, it is the empress who cares the most."

care?That's right, these days the queen often sends people to ask about her health, but she can see through what Lingqiao can't see through.

Due to the different constitutions of the two, the amount of medicine used by Mugui and her will be different, but they are both suffering from chills, but the empress sent someone to deliver ice cold rice dumplings...

Lin Qingyu smiled wryly: "I can't eat these, you and Mo'er took what you wanted, and share the rest with everyone."

At this moment Mo'er came back from the outside and said: "My lord, today's Dragon Boat Festival, my servants have prepared bluegrass soup, please go and take a bath, my lord."

Lin Qingyu thought she had heard it wrong, but now it is bright and sunny.She was a little surprised: "Bath at this time?"

"Yes, on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, all palaces have to bathe with orchid grass soup, and the effect is better at noon. My master was tired and frightened last night, so it's better to use it earlier." Mo'er said so.

Lin Qingyu was feeling bored, and was sweating again after taking a bath last night. At this time, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he agreed.

This bluegrass soup is mostly boiled with five-color grasses. It is used for medicinal baths on the Dragon Boat Festival. It has the strongest power to nourish the body and eliminate evil. Qi, protect vitality.

In the wooden barrel that was as tall as a person, there was a layer of fresh wormwood, perrin, etc. floating. When Lin Qingyu went down, the water temperature was just right. She slowly submerged her body in it, closed her eyes and meditated, and the pleasant herbal smell was refreshing.

After washing, she went to Fujingxuan.

All kinds of flowers bloom in Fujingxuan, and five-color silk threads are hung on each flower tree, orchids grow lushly on both sides of the flower trees, and a silver bell with Ai Wan is hung on the door of the house.

Lin Qingyu entered the door and said, "Sister, the flowers and plants in the palace are so lively." With a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she blessed her: "Qingyu wishes my sister good health during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Mu Pingting was tasting rice dumplings in the room. Seeing her coming, she asked her to sit down with a smile on her face, her almond eyes were bright: "Qingyu is here? Do you want to try these moxa rice dumplings? The empress sent someone to deliver them early in the morning. here."

She grabbed a piece of rice dumpling with bone chopsticks, put it in her mouth and tasted it carefully, "Give Lin promise to prepare a new pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Lin Qingyu was startled, the prescription made her body shy from the cold, but now she was eating iced rice dumplings without hesitation.

"Why does my sister eat these cold rice dumplings?" She asked suddenly.

"Cold rice dumplings?" Mu Pingting looked puzzled, looked down at the rice dumplings on the plate, then looked at Lin Qingyu and said affirmatively: "This is hot rice dumplings, the empress sent Eunuch Liu to send it early in the morning, and said she knew that I was afraid Han deliberately made it hot, and you see, it’s still warm.”

It turns out that Mu Pingting was given hot rice dumplings... After all, she has a good family background and a high status. Of course, the queen should pay more attention to her. How can a low-level person like myself deserve to be remembered by others.

Lin Qingyu thought secretly, feeling very uncomfortable.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Mu Pingting smiled and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Embarrassed for a moment, she smiled unnaturally, and made up a story: "My sister is just afraid that it will not be as good as my own. It will be cold on the way."

Mu Pingting returned to her bright face again: "Why, things don't cool so quickly in this day." Mu Pingting invited her again: "Come and taste some."

Lin Qingyu nodded, and picked up a piece of zongzi with chopsticks.

The two chatted for a while, and after returning to the palace, Lin Qingyu lazily soaked in the room until dinner time, and only had some lotus root soup because he had no appetite.

When she was embroidering the pattern against the window, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

She raised her head and saw that Xin Chang was rushing into the room, even the maid who had notified her could not keep up, so she couldn't help being curious.

"Sister, this is..."

Before she finished speaking, Xin Chang said anxiously: "Did you dig up my scorpion grass!"
