The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 71 The Big Picture (2)

Hearing Jiaorong's words, Xida didn't understand for a while, "Add more sugar?"

"Yes, you must convey my words to him verbatim." Jiao Rong's eyes were full of seriousness, she slowly lowered her head, and said in a very soft voice, "He will understand what I mean."

Xida understood this in an instant, thinking that this was the secret signal that Jiao Rong had made with the little royal chef earlier.He is a guard in the palace, he can come and go freely, and it is most suitable for helping people to spread the word.

"Okay." Xida heard the voice, looked into the hall on the stairs, and asked Jiao Rong with a little worry: "The emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Jiaorong shook his head, smiled reservedly at Xida, but didn't say much, then looked at Yizhu beside him, and said to Xida: "It's getting late, we'll go back to the palace first, thank you Your care, if you need something in two days, it will still be the same."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiaorong and Yizhu left Qianqing Palace. Xida stayed there for a while, silently glanced at the plaque in the main hall, feeling a little strange, but he quickly returned to the place where he was supposed to stand guard. post, no more thought.

When Jiaorong and Yizhu walked back to Chengqian Palace, the sky was already getting dark, but what they never expected was that Concubine Yi was waiting for them outside the gate of Chengqian Palace, with Bai He beside them. Supporting her, Concubine Yi just looked around, waiting for the two to come back.

Seeing this, Jiaorong and Yizhu quickly ran up and came to Concubine Yi, feeling a little overwhelmed.Regardless of her panting, Jiao Rong opened her eyes wide and looked at Concubine Yi: "Your Majesty, why are you standing outside the palace? It's windy at night, go back quickly."

Concubine Yi laughed immediately when she saw Jiaorong, quickly took her wrist with both hands, frowned slightly, and said softly, "I don't care, how are you? Are the wounds on your body still bleeding? Tai Hospital Did the imperial physician tell you what time of day he will come to change your dressing?"

Hearing Concubine Yi's question after sentence of concern, Jiaorong's heart instantly surged with heat, making her eyes turn red.Rao Jiaorong's glib mouth is speechless at the moment.

"What's the matter? Why don't you speak?" Concubine Yi's pure and gentle eyes are like a lake, which can wash away some taints in the world.She looked at Jiao Rong's eyes flickering with worry, and directly touched the softest part of Jiao Rong's cold heart.

The next second, Jiaorong swallowed slightly, lowered her head and lifted the hem of her clothes, kneeling down abruptly in front of Concubine Yi.At this moment, the three people around her were stunned. Concubine Yi looked at Jiaorong without knowing why, and took her hand to bring her up: "Jiaorong, what are you doing? You got hit by a board today, and your body is broken. I'm weak, get up quickly."

Jiaorong's temperament has always been strong, and she will never shed tears easily, but today she has been under great pressure, which has greatly tempered her mind and spirit, and now suddenly someone cares about her with the most essential kindness , but Jiaorong couldn't stand it anymore.

Jiao Rong lowered her head, fearing that Concubine Yi would see the moisture in her eyes, she pursed her lips and said softly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this servant, this servant is willing to do everything for you, and there will never be a single complaint .”

Hearing this, Concubine Yi was taken aback for a moment, and a few seconds later, she used more strength to bring Jiao Rong up, and said softly to her like a sister at home: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? There are so many things for you to do."

Saying that, Concubine Yi glanced at Bai He and Yi Zhu who were beside her respectively, and said softly: "Go, it's windy at night, go back and get warm."

After returning to the palace, Jiaorong showed Concubine Yi the wound that had been cleaned and bandaged, and said respectfully: "Physician Sun said that he would come to Chengqian Palace to ask for the pulse of peace for the empress at the end of each day, and by the way, change the wound for the servant girl." medicine."

"Okay, if you want to take a bath these days, let Yizhu take care of it, so as not to let the wound get wet." Concubine Yi is a caring and virtuous person, who can be cared for almost everywhere.If it is not Concubine Zhao who is in charge of the Six Palaces now, Jiaorong feels from the bottom of her heart that Concubine Yi is the most suitable person in the palace to be a queen.

"Yes." Jiaorong replied lightly, and then said to Concubine Yi: "Your Majesty is also tired today, so let's rest early."

After the lights in the main hall were turned off, Jiao Rong and Yi Zhu went to the side room of Chengqian Palace together.Jiao Rong looked at the bright moon in the dark night sky with only half of it showing, her eyes darkened slightly.

Yizhu's expression was a bit complicated. She looked at Jiaorong's side face, thought for a moment, and asked, "Sister, Li Guiren, what else are you planning to do?"

Hearing this, Jiaorong looked at Yizhu in a daze, then said "um", and replied truthfully: "It's a big picture, the road is only half way, and we can't stop just because we saw some sunshine."

"But..." Yizhu frowned slightly, and looked at Jiaorong's forearm silently, "Sister, don't do such things as hurt yourself again, okay? It's too dangerous, and the price you pay is too high." Big."

Hearing this, Jiao Rong licked the corner of her lower lip and shook her head lightly: "I'm afraid not, we can't take the initiative in things anyway, otherwise it will be too easy to be exposed."

As she said that, Jiaorong smiled brightly, and stretched out her hand to touch Yizhu's head.She is one year older than Yizhu, and also slightly taller, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in my heart, and I will be more careful in the future."

Two days later, in the early morning, Jiaorong woke up again before dawn. This time she also knocked on the palace door a few times, and then walked out, and saw Fulu's smiling face all the time. face.

"Morning." Fu Lu showed two tiger teeth in a smile, as if to say hello to Jiao Rong.

But before he could stretch out his hand, Jiaorong grabbed Fulu by the collar and dragged him into Chengqian Palace.Fulu is different from Xida. Xida is strong and agile, and has a scale in everything he does. He is a person who is worth relying on, but Fulu is a big spender, and he is usually not reliable at all.

"What are you doing!" Fulu was staggered by Jiaorong, watched Jiaorong close the palace door, and pouted slightly: "Don't be so fierce all the time, can you? You don't look like a daughter's house."

Jiaorong didn't bother to answer his gossip, looked directly into Shang Fulu's eyes, and asked, "How about what you were asked to do?"

Fu Lu snorted, looked away slightly, and said in a dawdly way: "I have found it for you a long time ago. Li Guiren's personal maid, Shui Zhi, is my distant cousin. This girl is clever, and she will definitely get things done."

Jiaorong nodded slightly, and said softly: "Okay, then let her go today. As for silver, you can ask Mafa for it, and say that I want to buy some jewelry outside the palace."
