Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Name: Tian Lingyue
Age: 14 years old
Good at: needlepoint embroidery, calligraphy

Family composition: father Tian Guang, mother Zhang, one half-brother and four half-sisters
Things to be afraid of: Yang Ming and snakes

Marital status: single
Du Jiyan looked confused.

Tian Lingyue's family structure was complicated. Her father Tian Guang had several concubines, so he had half-brothers and sisters. Du Jiyan understood.

But Tian Lingyue obviously married the emperor and became a show girl in the palace. Why is her marital status unmarried?

Xiaodian, did you just pull the business card?

The small screen flashed: "Host, according to the principle of monogamy, only the queen is married, and the other women in the palace are unmarried."

"Me too?"

"of course."

Ok.

Xiaodian, you are quite keeping pace with the times.

The system prompts that Tian Lingyue is most afraid of Yangming and snakes. What the hell are Yangming and snakes?A four-letter name, a snake imported from a foreign country?

Xiaodian: "Tian Lingyue's father, Tian Guang, was named Yangming."

Ah, I understand, what Xiaodian means is that what Tian Lingyue is afraid of is her father Tian Guang and snakes.

Ever since Tian Guang became his cheap seventh-rank Zhili prefecture magistrate, he has always disliked Tian Lingyue's mother, Zhang, who did not have a prominent family background and could not help him rise in the officialdom. He also disliked Tian Lingyue, the daughter of Zhang. She didn't look down on him, but she cherished the children of the concubine very much. Therefore, the relationship between Tian Lingyue and her father was like a mouse meeting a cat. It was reasonable for her to be afraid of Tian Guang.

Tian Lingyue is afraid of snakes, which is a valid message.

She is afraid of snakes. If she encounters a snake, she will jump three feet high.

It was already dawn, and there was fish belly white outside the window.

Du Jiyan pushed Shi Jing: "There is a snake. There is a snake. Catch the snake."

Shi Jing turned over and purred evenly: "Why are there snakes? You have another nightmare, Du Jiyan."

No one responded.

Tian Lingyue didn't respond at all.

The information from Xiaodian in the system is usually accurate. Xiaodian said that Tian Lingyue was afraid of snakes. Why didn't Tian Lingyue respond when he called out about snakes?
Did she sleep to death?

Is she pretending to sleep?

Because Du Jiyan worked hard twice during the night, during the day, Shi Jing had two dark circles under his eyes and was as tired as if he had worked the night shift on a sewing machine all night.

The lunch was very exquisite. Du Jianyan had given him a lot of things as a reward from his bedtime. He only needed to spend ten taels of silver to have extra meals in the small kitchen.

Osmanthus shark's fin, West Lake fish in vinegar, braised fat duck, candied lychee, rose cake.

I have no choice but to do whatever I can’t do. I’m the No. 1 foodie.

Show off all the money you earn.

Shi Jing held his rice bowl and covered it with some sweet-scented osmanthus shark's fin while eating and dozing off: "Du Jiyan, you had two nightmares last night."

"Oh, is it?"

“Yes, you also dreamed about snakes.

"Maybe it wasn't a dream, but I actually saw it."

Shi Jing's sleepy eyes narrowed into slits: "How is it possible? Yongfu Hall is cleaned every day, and the bedding and boxes are all arranged properly. Aunt Zhao and the others are very careful."

The nuns nodded hurriedly.

"I don't know if it scares Sister Tian. She has had diarrhea for the past two days and hasn't been able to eat well. She can't sleep well at night and her body can't bear it." Shi Jing was a little worried.

The pale-faced Tian Lingyue was lying on the kang, covered with a thin brocade quilt: "It's okay, sister, the imperial doctor came to see me today and said she is almost healed. I also drank the medicine and the brew Sister Du gave me. Honey and osmanthus water, lie down for two more days, and then you can get up."

"Would you like some sweet-scented osmanthus shark's fin?"

Tian Lingyue shook her head weakly.

Shi Jing could only show off the sweet-scented osmanthus shark fin in his mouth.

"Can I have some West Lake vinegar fish?"

Tian Lingyue shook her head again.

Shi Jing could only dazzle the West Lake vinegar fish in his mouth.

After a while, I stopped showing off.

Tian Lingyue's face became paler and she looked even weaker than yesterday.

This is strange.

When he woke up in the morning, Du Jiyan opened the system, bought medicine to treat diarrhea, put it into honey and osmanthus water and gave it to Tian Lingyue.

Du Jiyan had taken this medicine personally. That night in Taihe Palace, she had diarrhea and stomachache, as if she had given birth to eight sons at once. After taking this medicine, she felt better immediately. Why did Tian Lingyue take it? After that, there is no improvement?

Du Jiyan opened the system again.

Xiao Dian immediately lit up the screen: "What are the instructions from the host?"

"Xiaodian, get me a snake."

The system screen remained static for two seconds.

Two seconds later, the system flashed: "The system needs to know the purpose of the host's snake."

"To scare people."

"I'm sorry to the host, the system cannot help the host to do something harmful to nature."

There seems to be a problem with the way it is expressed.

Du Jiyan changed his explanation: "I think someone is harming me and Shi Jing, so I want to use a snake to verify it. It's just a verification. It won't harm anyone. Xiaodian, you know that I don't harm others, and I can't let others." Harm me, or if I die, won’t your system have nowhere to go?”

Xiaodian thought for two seconds, then the screen flashed and a few lines of words popped up: "The krait has a wide golden ring pattern and is a large and highly venomous snake. Its body length is usually between 1 and 1.5 meters. time. Boa constrictors can swallow animals that are equal to or more than their body weight at one time. They have strong digestive ability and can go without food for several months after being full. White-lipped bamboo has green leaves and has the habit of hibernating. The hibernation period lasts from heavy snow to the hibernation of hibernation and comes out of the cave in May. These three are the snakes that the system can choose from. You can choose once for eight points and get your money in seconds.”

"Xiao Dian, I don't want this kind of snake."

"The host wants a more venomous snake?"

"No, I mean, are there any toy snakes, fake snakes like that?"

Xiaodian felt relieved through the screen.

Soon, a toy snake appeared on the screen.

Made of bamboo, soft and painted with paint.

Two points each, valid for 5 minutes.

In other words, this toy snake can only exist or be displayed for 5 minutes.

Du Jiyan decisively placed an order.

Arrival soon.

Du Jiyan secretly threw the toy snake out.

The timer starts, these two points cannot be wasted.

"There's a snake -" Du Jiyan said in a playful manner.

Shi Jing obviously didn't like this. She put down her job and touched Du Jiyan's forehead: "I feel like you are not normal when you come back from Taihe Palace. Should I find an imperial doctor to check on you? But this one is not normal either." I’m not hot, I don’t have a fever, why are you always talking nonsense?”

Aunt Zhao was helping with the dishes beside her. When Shi Jing said this, she whispered: "I have seen my master like this before in the countryside. Maybe it's not that I'm too talkative. Maybe I can find a goddess who can dance with the master." "Even fantasy is included.

This toy snake is only on display for 5 minutes, so it can’t be wasted.

Du Jiyan wanted to throw the toy snake onto the kang, but when it was blocked by a pillow, the toy snake bounced back and bit Shi Jing's face.

The dark one is still dangling.

Shi Jing thought it was falling and licked his hair. When he saw that it was a snake, Shi Jing was stunned and said: "Mom, mother, help me."

Shi Jing grabbed the toy snake and threw it on the kang. The snake landed on Tian Lingyue's face.

Tian Lingyue was closing her eyes and concentrating when she felt something cold fall on her face. When she grabbed it, she saw that it was a yellow snake with black spots. Its black eyes were shining strangely and it was still spitting out messages.

Tian Lingyue was bitten by a snake at home when she was a child. Since then, she has been avoiding the sight of straw ropes. The appearance of this snake almost killed her.

Aunt Zhao picked up the snake with the tongs. The snake twisting under the tongs was so frightened that Tian Lingyue jumped to the corner and almost climbed onto the cage: "Snake——"

Tian Lingyue's face turned red because of excitement.

Aunt Zhao was also very nervous as she held the fire pliers.

"Mother Zhao, how did this snake get into our Yongfu Hall?" Shi Jing was still frightened.

"My servants don't know either. My servants always clean the Yongfu Palace and clean up every corner. During the Dragon Boat Festival, realgar is sprinkled inside and outside."

"Why do I look at this snake as if it's dead?" Du Jiyan had to admire his acting skills.

At first, everyone didn't believe it. How could such a thick snake die? It could still move even though it was clamped by fire pliers.

Aunt Zhao was older after all. She bravely took a closer look and found that it seemed to be dead. It seemed that the weight was wrong. How could there be such a light snake?Putting this snake in the water tank, the snake actually floated and lost its color. Everyone could see clearly that it was a bamboo toy, but the toy was exquisitely made.

"Who is so narrow-minded and does this to scare people?" Shi Jing held Tian Lingyue's arm: "You are so scared that Sister Tian can even walk on the ground."

Just now, when Aunt Zhao was holding the toy snake between her legs, half of the people in Yongfu Palace followed her to look at her, and Tian Lingyue also chased her out to watch the fun.

"Why did Sister Tian get out of bed? She is weak and needs to be taken care of." A beautiful girl said.

"How do you feel, sister?" Du Jiyan asked.

Tian Lingyue's face turned even redder: "I, I, am still dizzy. I'd better go back and lie down."

Tian Lingyue strode back to the kang.

In Yongfu Hall, everyone was still talking about the snake.

"Such exquisite craftsmanship and such a realistic snake must be made by the palace."

"No, who in the palace would do this? The ladies will be scared."

"Did someone throw it to the ground deliberately to scare us?"

"Should we send such important physical evidence to the Queen and ask her to make a final decision?"

When they thought of asking the Queen to arbitrate, everyone was discouraged. Asking the Queen to arbitrate would not be possible, and it would scare the Queen. If the Queen was frightened again, that would be another problem.

The key is that the toy snake that was floating in the water tank just now disappeared again in an instant. Aunt Zhao was seen holding the tongs, pinching left and right, and even explored the bottom of the tank. In the end, she found nothing. Under the bed, the toy snake disappeared again. It was really strange.

So everyone came to a conclusion: only the people in Yongfu Palace know about the snake. If word spreads, there will be no physical evidence, and others will think they are talking nonsense. Women who talk nonsense in the palace will not end well. , everyone has to keep their mouths shut.

Tian Lingyue lay back down again.

Du Jiyan had an unknown premonition in his heart.

Judging from Tian Lingyue's state just now, she was probably just faking being sick in bed.

Besides, her father got some croton powder for her from outside the palace. Could it be that she was saving the croton powder for making porridge by herself?It was impossible to feed the dog. It was probably fed to Du Jiyan and Shi Jing.

I don't know where I offended Tian Lingyue. Could it be because he was dragged to bed by the emperor?
It seems like I have to keep a low profile lately.

Who would have thought that after dark, Gao Rang would arrive again in Feng Luan Chun En's car.

The Feng Luan Chun En car with jingling and hanging curtains attracts a circle of people's attention wherever it goes, not to mention that it is parked at the entrance of Yongfu Hall.

You must know that the beautiful ladies from Yongfu Hall were just sent back in the morning, and this car came to pick up people again in the afternoon.

The business of Yongfu Palace is so booming that Fengluan Chunen Car has become the shuttle bus for Yongfu Palace’s beautiful ladies.

Aunt Zhao and others were already waiting respectfully at the entrance of the palace: "Eunuch Gao, thank you for your hard work for coming here in person. I wonder which young master will be appointed to sleep with you tonight?"

"Are all the beautiful girls here?" Gao Rang flicked his fly whisk.

"Except for Tian Xiunv who is sick and weak, everyone else is waiting."

"Where is Shi Jing? Have you recovered from your illness?"

Shi Jing and Du Jiyan were sitting under the window, brewing osmanthus honey. They folded the layers of osmanthus and sealed them in a jar and compacted them. Then they added a few pieces of rock sugar and poured some honey into the jar. When it was full, the sound of Feng Luan Chun En's car came.

"I heard Eunuch Gao calling your name." Du Jiyan squeezed Shi Jing's hand.

Shi Jing stood up quickly, washed his hands and smoothed his face in the copper basin, sat down in front of the bronze mirror and started combing his hair: "The emperor is wise enough to know that my father is the emperor's master, and to sell my father's face, I have been sitting on the bench for so many days. Now, it’s my turn.”

I have to dress up quickly.

Tian Lingyue coughed twice, lay there and said feebly: "Congratulations to Sister Shi. When you leave, you will definitely be prosperous and wealthy."

"Sister Tian, ​​you're welcome. When I come back from bed, I will ask my family to send 20 taels of silver to your mother for medical treatment."

"Thank you, Sister Shi."

"You're welcome, my family is good at this." Shi Jing took off the hairpin from his hair, dipped the hairpin in oil, and combed his hair carefully.

Gao Rang had already opened the door and walked in. In the half-dark palace, there was a strong sweet scent of osmanthus. Shi Jing was dressing up in the mirror, very attentive. On the dressing table, there were already gem hairpins, pearl earrings, and hollow carved jade bracelets. , the pastel pink woven gold lily wide-sleeved waist skirt is also prepared.

Just about to get on the bus.

"Master Shi looks really good." Gao Rang leaned against the door and admired.

Shi Jing raised the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyes: "Then let's go."

"Where?"

"Didn't you drive Fengluan Chun'en to pick me up? Play hard to get with me."

Gao Rang had to take a step back and stood outside the threshold. His awkward toes could reach three rooms and two living rooms. He and Aunt Zhao looked at each other. In the end, he didn't understand why Shi Jing misunderstood again.

"You called my name just now before I entered the palace. Didn't you ask me to go to bed?" The grate in Shi Jing's hand stopped in mid-air, and the air pressure in the bronze mirror was obviously lower than before.

"I came back last time. Master Shi, you are not in good health, so when I came back, I asked you a question specifically. I didn't want my master to misunderstand."

"If you don't let me sleep with you, then who are you going to let me sleep with you?" Shi Jing continued to comb his hair resentfully.

"The emperor wants Du to agree to go."

unlucky.

Du Jiyan secretly stamped his feet.

They all hid in corners, but they still didn’t escape.

"Let Du Jiyan go? No." Shi Jing pinched his waist to protect Du Jiyan.

Take care of heaven and earth, and take care of the emperor’s concubines.

Even the queen did not dare to comment on this matter.

Shi Jing, you are so brave.

In Shi Jing's view, Du Jiyan kept having nightmares after returning from the Palace of Supreme Harmony. The emperor must have done something shameful. Since the Palace of Supreme Harmony is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, it's up to her to go and have a go. You can't catch your good sister alone.
