Work overtime

When Jiang Yu came to check his pulse in the morning, he said that the metal shavings scraped off the inner wall of the incense burner contained cinnabar, and the yaxil contained musk.

If cinnabar is exposed to heat, mercury will precipitate. Mercury is a highly toxic substance that will volatilize in the air at high temperatures and be inhaled into the lungs. Being in such an environment for a long time will naturally lead to chronic poisoning.

According to the size of the incense burner, the amount of cinnabar is quite large. The dose is definitely enough to kill a person.

Jiang Yuebai only felt cold and sighing all over.

But Jiang Yuebai did not regret the choice he had made. She and the Queen Mother just had different positions and each had their own plans.

She is not a white lotus. She has always been sober when doing these things, just for promotion and establishing her character.

In the complex and dark harem, with her and Jinxiu's background as merchants and the positions they promised, it would be difficult to survive, let alone climb up. I don’t have time to move over the years. If you don't climb fast enough, you may die without knowing how.

Contrary to what others thought, she never resented the Queen Mother even if she wanted to kill her in return for kindness.

When you are in a low position, the most undesirable emotion is resentment. Resentment is a very harmful emotion that only makes people stupid and narrow-minded.

Only the weak will resent the injustice of those in power. A strong person is just an ordinary person who understands the rules.

Don't be too smart to think that resentment can be hidden. Resentment, like love, often brings about instinctive reactions and can be revealed unintentionally. So be very careful with this emotion.

Facts have proved that Jiang Yuebai wins the battle.

And it was the emperor who helped her move out of the main palace and escape the murderous situation. It was the emperor who was treated as an assassin during his night visit. The peppery smell of the main hall persisted for a long time, so she moved back to the side hall. Later, the smell finally dissipated, and the main hall was transformed into a beautiful mourning hall.

All this happened without any knowledge of the connection. Nowadays, it seems that many things have their own destiny.

It’s just that Jiang Yuebai started to wonder about Peilan’s true identity. Why does a woman who is so proficient in spices and has keen observation appear among the palace ladies? Where did she learn this skill and what was the purpose of entering the palace.

It is difficult for the other party to predict in advance that she will look for a palace maid who knows how to mix perfume. Unless it's someone like Zhuge Liang.

If there really is such a person, then your suspicions at this time and the observations and tests you will take next are all based on the other party's prediction.

If this is the case, how to escape the other party's prediction?

Jiang Yuebai had an intuition.

If Peilan is not looking for someone secretly, he is preparing to kill someone secretly.

Jiang Yuebai is ready to stand still and let me use him.

Many people did not sleep that night. Suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, and the rumble of thunder shook the sky.

It's too late to sigh that the palace has been moved. Those who have not yet moved to the palace pray that it will be a sunny day at dawn, otherwise moving on a rainy day will be too painful.

Every time there was a loud thunder, Li Beichen would always look out the window subconsciously. My younger brother has been afraid of thunder since he was a child. Whenever there was thunder, he would hide next to him. I don’t know what happened to my brother’s journey north and whether it went smoothly.

When Li Beichen was busy late at night and put down his brush, he vaguely recalled Jiang Yuebai's episode. She would suddenly boldly sit on his lap, wrap her arms around his neck, and act coquettishly with him.

I heard that she could calmly and calmly arrange the luncheon for many people in an orderly manner just by sitting in a wheelchair. Even the pregnant Fan Cairen was safe. It is equivalent to successfully organizing a small family dinner.

This is rare. She is more than a little bit more thoughtful than the original queen and even the concubine.

He was very satisfied with Jiang Yuebai.

Li Beichen tasted the golden tribute chrysanthemum in the tea cup, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

Ye Suhua quietly waited on the pen and ink on the side, trying hard to restrain all the complicated thoughts that surged up in him, especially the thought of seducing the emperor. Jiang Yuebai's words and actions kept reappearing in his mind, and he subconsciously imitated Jiang Yuebai's every move.

The emperor, who had always been as cold as a sculpture, suddenly showed a knowing smile. Ye Suhua was so drunk that he felt a sense of accomplishment. Immediately I felt a strong sense of tiredness, couldn't help but yawned, and shed tears. She hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

In fact, Ye Suhua did not go to pay his respects today not because he was arrogant because he was pampered after bedtime, but because he was too tired from serving pen and ink until late at night.

The candle with the carved gold coiled dragon exudes a warm yellow light, and the scent of ambergris slowly escapes from the Boshan stove.

The night was dark.

Li Beichen looked at Ye Suhua who was kneeling on the carpet embroidered with flowers, and rubbed his brows tiredly, "Xiaobao, make arrangements to go to Qianqing Palace."

Ye Suhua, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head, with bright eyes and happy brows...

He was able to sleep with him one after another. I heard that only the original Concubine Jing had such treatment.

Does this mean that Ye Suhua's thoughts are bold?

However, the emperor's mood waned.

In this regard, he missed being with Jiang Yuebai even more. He couldn't be more satisfied and passionate.

##########
The next day, as promised in front of the emperor yesterday, Concubine He ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a portion of rose ice powder for everyone, and also prepared mung bean cake, red bean cake, chestnut cake and other snacks to go with it.

After everyone arrived, they ate and drank, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After eating a bowl of ice powder, I immediately felt a lot cooler. They all praised the delicious food and lamented that the food brought by the emperor's real name is indeed worthy of its reputation.

Eat and drink well and then start the meeting. Li Beichen sent Xu Fang to deliver a message to Concubine He, saying that Concubine Shun had worked hard and exempted her from paying her respects.

The concubine was a little surprised.

Being accompanied and staying overnight, the emperor was so considerate that he even asked for sick leave. The concubine was angry and heartbroken. But not for herself, but for Concubine Jianing. Yesterday, when Ye Suhua accompanied the emperor to Ning'an Palace, he looked like a villain, just to show off that he was favored.

The concubine and the concubine were so angry that they didn't hide it during the morning meeting.

The concubine said leisurely: "Yesterday, I had a concubine who stayed with me all day long. She was probably very tired, so she took a rest after receiving the order. Fan Cai is in trouble, so I don't have to pay her respects. Everyone is here, let's talk about it. Who else should move the palace but hasn’t moved yet?”

Fang Xuanshi said with great disdain: "Isn't she just being pampered? It is a natural thing to pay your respects to the empress. Is it so difficult?"

The concubine smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You will know whether it is difficult or not when it is your turn. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Xie."

This vernacular made all the little girls present lower their heads and blush. Throughout the ages, married women and unmarried women have had very different standards when it comes to talking about family matters.

Everyone secretly looked at Mr. Xie. They were all curious about what the emperor was doing, what he did, etc.

In front of everyone, Xie Guiren's face turned red with embarrassment at this question, but his eyes were filled with a little pride. She was also someone who had served twice, although she didn't feel any happiness.

Waiter Fang Xuan curled his lips and said, "Sister Xie came on time, didn't she?"

Xie Guiren blushed and whispered, "Whatever you want will come naturally."

"That's right, that's right." Fang Xuanshi followed, "Isn't it true that Sister Duan is so weak? It's better to see if you think about it. Anyway, I will definitely come to pay my respects as usual."

Lin Xuanshi took the opportunity and whispered, "I am timid, so I will definitely abide by the rules."

Concubine Shun has a high status now, so no one dares to offend her by speaking out loud, so they can only beat the drum in annoyance.

He Fei set rules for everyone while the iron was hot, "Since all the sisters here are so thoughtful, you must come on time no matter whether you are here to attend or not."

Everyone responded with a smile. We all look forward to that day coming soon.

Everyone wanted to ask Concubine He when he could turn over the cards instead of being dominated by one person, but they were too embarrassed to ask in public. I hope that others can ask for me, so that I can understand it by the way.

As a result, no one asked, and the scene fell silent.

It was almost time to meet the concubine, so the topic turned to the matter of moving to the palace. After all, tomorrow, the tenth day of the lunar month, Meng Jieyu, the daughter of Prime Minister Meng, will enter the palace. Everything needs to fall into place today.

After asking around, it turned out that Mr. Xie had not moved yet.

Xie Guiren was supposed to move in yesterday, but when it was her turn, she was gathering with everyone in Taorui Palace.

The other concubines have put away their things, leaving one or two palace maids to look after their things, while the Shang Gongsi is responsible for moving them. Xie Guiren was worried and insisted that he must move it in his presence. So I changed it to noon today.

In fact, I just don’t want to move.

Jingyang Palace already has a concubine as the master, and if he lives in the same palace with her, I'm afraid he will never be able to get ahead. However, Su and Murong, who were lower in status than her, still lived in an exclusive courtyard. He is a noble man but he is crowded with a concubine.

This made her wonder if someone had put eye drops in front of the emperor. But he didn't dare to ask the emperor to change places.

The concubine smiled and said, "Xie Cairen, from now on you will be in the same palace as Shun Concubine, so don't follow Concubine Shun's example."

"Please rest assured, my concubine, I will definitely not be unruly, and I still have to take notes of the morning meeting." Xie Guiren answered simply and neatly.

Everyone laughed.

These two people live in the same palace. Shunbi's father is a central civil servant, and Xie Guiren's father is a local military commander, one civil and one military. It happened that Concubine Jing arranged to take the minutes of the morning meeting together. They have all been used smoothly. Even if they are at odds with each other, as long as the trouble does not come to the fore, they will not switch to other partners. The emperor directly put the two of them in the same palace and locked them up.

I'm afraid there will be something good to watch in the future.

"Xiao promises that you and Mr. Xie will be in the same palace in the future. I heard that you are also well-educated and have good literary talent. Mr. Xie has a lot of things to do when moving to the palace today, so please help me."

Xiao promised to be named, so naturally it would be difficult to remain invisible. His eyes were blank, and he was stunned for a moment before accepting the task.

Everyone suddenly realized. I see.

Jingyang Palace is equivalent to the Hanlin Garden of the previous dynasty. Different from other palaces, it is filled with talented women who are good at writing and writing.

During lunch, the Emperor no longer kept Ye Suhua with him, but instead summoned Mr. Xie to accompany him.

Mainly because Ye Suhua's wrist was almost broken due to the ink grinding and he couldn't lift it up. I can't even stand straight. And the way she was holding her waist and stumbling around was very thought-provoking.

If I drive with you for another day, my hands will become crippled and my waist will become useless. Ye Suhua was willing to go back and rest.

Xie Guiren was naturally surprised and happy. He simply wanted to thank his ancestors.

People in the harem increasingly believed that Jingyang Palace was a gathering place for talented harem girls.
