Work overtime

Tao Rui Palace.

Jiang promised to be dressed in off-white clothes, with a few faint gold embroidered flowers on the hem, and a thin jade bracelet on her hand, which looked very delicate and graceful.

After returning from greeting the concubine, he was chatting in Jiang Yuebai's room.

Jiang promised to move the palace in the next two days, from Changchun Palace to Xining Palace. It is much far away from Taorui Palace. But it is very close to Ning'an Palace where Jiang Yuebai will live from now on.

I only heard her say in a low voice, "I don't have many things. I think the Shanggong Bureau will help her move them today. After cleaning up, Yang promised that they can be moved the day after tomorrow. It's just that the main hall is full. It’s a medicinal smell, I don’t know if it will go away when the time comes.”

Of course Jiang promised not talking about the smell of medicine.

Jiang Yuebai actually felt strange. A room where patients stay for a long time is not good after all. Metaphysically speaking, it is disease and bad luck, scientifically speaking it is bacteria and viruses. It's not like the palace couldn't accommodate it, but for some reason it was arranged for Prime Minister Meng's daughter to live there.

Jiang Yuebai changed the subject casually, "What about Xiao's promise? She lives in the same place?"

"Xiao agreed to move to the west wing of Jingyang Palace and live with Concubine Shun and Xie Cairen. Every time I went to see her, I was either writing or drawing, or reading. She looked like she had read a lot of poems. . Sometimes after the morning meeting, Xie Cairen calls her over to sit down. Now it’s more convenient to live in the same palace. "

Jiang Yuebai smiled and joked, "It seems that all of you in Changchun Palace are quiet and comfortable people."

Jiang Da blushed and said, "I and Xiao promised to go together to greet me and return to the palace. It seems that I haven't said as much as I did to the empress, let alone what was in my heart."

Jiang Yuebai thought to himself, I understand, you two are just commuting partners who go together.

"If she doesn't say anything, just take the initiative to talk more. Slowly we can start chatting."

Jiang Daxu said shyly, "I can't seem to talk to her. Xiao Daxu saw that I don't like to study or talk, so he didn't like to talk to me."

Jiang Yuebai smiled, "Maybe she just has a withdrawn temperament and likes to be quiet."

Jiang promised to raise his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuebai but hesitated to speak.

"Say what you want to say."

Jiang promised to think about it for a while, and seemed to have mustered up all the courage, "It is said in the palace that the emperor likes talented women, just like my elder sister and the concubine."

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said, "I can't compare to Concubine He. She is a real lady of the world, a talented woman with both talent and beauty. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has been serving the emperor for many years. I am from a small family. It's just a fool's errand, and it's hard to get into the realm of elegance."

"Can the empress teach me how to write poetry?" Jiang promised, his voice trembling.

"The ancients said that if you read 300 Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don't know how to recite them."

Jiang Yuebai handed the first volume of "Collection of Thoughts" to Jiang Yaoyao, "Three hundred poems are too many, why not just memorize the emperor's poems. This is it."

"Is this the legendary collection of poems given to the empress by the emperor?" Jiang promised looking very excited.

Jiang Yuebai nodded and said, "It's guaranteed to be true."

She taught Jiang Yaosheng to read it once as a demonstration, and then handed it to Li Chun.

Li Chun then taught Jiang Yaoyong a set of poetry reciting skills summed up by Taorui Gong. Jiang agreed and soon memorized a poem, which brought tears to his eyes with excitement.

It happened that it was almost lunch time, but Jiang Yuebai had no intention of leaving any food. Jiang promised to say goodbye wisely.

Regarding Jiang's promise, Jiang Yuebai felt that he couldn't figure it out, so he just took it one step at a time.

******

After waking up from his nap, Jiang Yuebai did not continue learning Go, but practiced throwing knives while lying half in a wheelchair.

The Go course has entered the stage of general review and advanced improvement, and there are still four lessons left. The content is extremely comprehensive and requires proficiency in the previous courses. The post-class test questions are very difficult and it is not as fast as before.

At this stage, Jiang Yuebai was no longer in a hurry and continued to advance steadily.

She started practicing flying knives, also known as "heart-piercing skills", before the emperor came back, and it has been more than ten days now.

This was Han Ziqian's suggestion. The purpose was to protect himself as much as possible even if he couldn't move while lying on the bed.

In order to help Jiang Yuebai practice, Han Ziqian made two "scarecrows", one with straw and cloth as the main body, and the other with wood.

Practice starting with straw texture. The requirements for wood-piercing people are relatively high.

Just like learning other skills, Jiang Yuebai worked very hard and carefully considered every technical point.

At first, there were few stabbings and many flying around. Now it can pierce the scarecrow's body every time, although it may not pierce the chest accurately every time.

And it penetrated deeper than at first.

Jiang Yuebai's dream is to be blindfolded one day and kill the enemy with one blow just by listening to the sound.

Not long after, Xia Zhi reported that according to reliable information, Zhen Jieyu had abdominal pain. The emperor went to visit with the imperial doctor. Before leaving, he ordered the granddaughter doctor who was serving Chen Xuanshi to live in Yanxi Palace. No one was allowed to visit Zhen Jie. You are not allowed to go out either.

At the same time, Fan Cai moved out of Yanxi Palace and lived alone in Zizhuyuan. Xia Zhi finished his report without saying a word and waited respectfully aside. Su Su had just warned her yesterday that the most important thing to do when serving her master is to keep quiet and speak concisely to avoid disturbing her.

After Jiang Yuebai heard this, he played with the dagger in his hand and began to think about it.

This practice of not entering or leaving is equivalent to grounding Zhen Jieyu. But he was taking special care of her safety.

Since the two of them were neither demoted nor promoted, the reason is more likely to be the latter. This means that the emperor is particularly fond of Zhen Jieyu and is afraid that Fan Cairen's pregnancy will be detrimental to her.

Jiang Yuebai squinted her eyes, recalling that day when Fan Cairen knelt down and sincerely wished to move out of Yanxi Palace and into Taorui Palace.

Is this the work of Zhen Jieyu or Fan Cairen? Or maybe Fan Cairen just took advantage of the situation.

However, Jiang Yuebai was too lazy to care, and was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. As long as these people don't put their ideas on her head.

She squinted at the scarecrow's heart and gestured with the dagger in her hand.

With a sudden force, the dagger stabbed firmly into the scarecrow's chest.

"Your Majesty, you are so amazing!" Li Chun and Xia Zhi cheered at the same time.

Jiang Yuebai showed a happy smile and picked up two more daggers, one in each hand. The right hand was firmly planted near the chest. The left hand was not at the same level as the right hand, and the direction it flew out was very outrageous.

After Jiang Yuebai practiced with his left hand more than a dozen times, he finally stopped flying around.

But it still failed to hit. It always falls to the ground when it hits the scarecrow.

Just when Jiang Yuebai was thinking about how to improve with a cold face, Bai Lu came over to report. Lu Mingshi woke up from her nap and clamored to come over and play with her sister.

A smile appeared on Jiang Yuebai's face naturally and almost instantly, "Bring her here."

She ordered the dagger and scarecrow to be put away. As soon as the fruit plate and snacks were placed, Lu Mingshi's laughter was heard.

Jiang Yuebai turned around and saw Baitao's cousin Chunsheng pushing a wheelchair. In the wheelchair, Lu Mingshi held a vase of gardenias in both hands, showing two small tiger teeth and smiling broadly.

"Sister! I picked a bottle of gardenias for you."

Jiang Yuebai looked at his sister with a smile, and returned to Jiangnan in a trance.

At that time, Jinxiu would pick a handful of gardenia buds every year during this season, soak them in water, and put them in her room.

Every morning in May I wake up to this familiar and fragrant aroma.

A sharp pain shot through her chest, and she couldn't help but cover her chest.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Lu Mingshi felt anxious and instinctively stood up and ran to Jiang Yuebai's side.

Jiang Yuebai smiled and held her sister's hand, looking up at Lu Mingshi, "Sit back quickly. The wound on your chest is not fully healed yet."

Lu Mingshi looked at Jiang Yuebai worriedly and did not move.

Jiang Yuebai said again, "Obey. Get back in the wheelchair."

Lu Mingshi handed the vase in his hand to Jiang Yuebai, "Sister, this is for you."

The fragrant fragrance of gardenia suddenly entered her nose, making Jiang Yuebai gag. She covered her mouth and turned sideways to spit it out.

Lu Mingshi quickly took back the gardenia vase and shouted urgently, "Sister!"

Jiang Yuebai waved his hands and retched for a while.

"You, please send the flowers to Concubine Chun. She will leave here tomorrow."

Lu Mingshi nodded solemnly.

Jiang Yuebai had told her before that the empress living in the main palace was Concubine Chun. She had passed away and was placed in a coffin. Because Empress Chun Fei is her younger sister, she is called Empress Chun Fei and also called her elder sister.

Every morning, Bai Lu would follow Jiang Yuebai's instructions and push Lu Mingshi in a wheelchair to burn incense for Jinxiu.

Jiang Yuebai guessed that maybe tomorrow or later, Lu Mingshi would put incense on Jinxiu for the last time.

Li Chun pushed Jiang Yuebai to the door of the main hall, watched Lu Mingshi step out of the wheelchair and walked into the hall holding a gardenia vase, and solemnly placed the flowers on the desk.

Lu Mingshi clasped his hands together, knelt in front of the soul and said cheerfully, "Mother Chun Fei, these are fragrant gardenias, given to you."

Jiang Yuebai's eyes were moist.

The two were talking in the yard. Xiao Luozi came forward to report that Concubine Xia asked to see her with a gift.
