Resourceful beauty

Chapter 219 Wanfu Palace

"With the meticulous care of the Queen and Concubine Shu, and the protection of His Highness, the fetal image of the Crown Princess is bound to be stable. Even if there is no consultation with the imperial physician, the result will be the same."

Said with an apologetic smile, seeing the imperial doctor perform the salute and leave with the medicine box on his back, Fang said with concern: "I was at home when I was young, and I often heard from women who had given birth that you should see more beautiful scenery when you are pregnant. Or a melodious song, the children born are more intelligent. Now the flowers in the garden are blooming just right. When the princess is free, you may wish to enjoy the flowers. I heard that the apricot blossoms and pear blossoms in the southeast corner of the Royal Garden are both beautiful. It opened, and the petals fell all over the ground, and being in it is like a fairyland."

"You have a heart..."

Withdrawing her wrist, she took the jujube tea from Ding Xiang and drank it. Fang Ruxuan asked with concern, "Where's Xinlan?"

It was time to say hello once every five days, but only Lu Wu came today.

On the side, Ding Xiang stepped forward and replied: "Get up early, someone from the Lianqiu Pavilion was sent to say that Miss Xinlan had a cold the day before yesterday, so I would like to ask for a leave today. At that time, the Crown Princess was After breakfast, the servants did not come to you."

Fang Ruxuan turned her head and asked, "Have you invited the imperial physician to see it?"

"I've already taken the medicine, it's fine..."

Lu Wu interrupted and said: "Xin Lan said, you have a body, we should take it into consideration, the imperial doctor walks around too often, it makes people think that something is wrong with our East Palace. Besides, she usually has a thin body and often suffers from wind and cold. So there is a medicine that is often taken, and I have sent someone to the imperial hospital to get the medicine, and I have been taking it for two days. Yesterday, I was already well, and I should have come to greet the princess today, but Xinlan was afraid that the illness would not be over. It’s not good for you, so I’ll rest for a few more days, and I’ll come to greet you when I’m better.”

Fang Ruxuan nodded, while still instructing Ding Xiang, "Go and have a look in a while, and send some supplements by the way, and see if there is any shortage."

Ding Xiang nodded in agreement, turned around and gave orders.

Luwu sat for a while longer, seeing Fang Ruxuan showing tiredness, Fang got up to say goodbye, before leaving, her face looked hesitant to speak, but she hesitated again and again, and still didn't ask.

After sending Lu Wu away, Ding Xiang came back and muttered: "I came here early in the morning to say hello, I don't know what she is thinking about, but now, His Highness is not here."

Fang Ruxuan smiled angrily and said: "Today is the day to ask for peace, what can she be at peace with? Zuo just learned that a letter was sent to the East Palace last night, and thought it was from His Highness, so she came to inquire about the news."

Fang Ruxuan could understand Lu Wu's hesitation to speak, but she was able to calm down and not ask, but she had grown a little bit compared to before. It can be seen that the ten whips were not in vain.

Hearing this, Ding Xiang's expression turned even worse, "I don't even look in the mirror, and I haven't gone to bed yet, so I really regard myself as the master of the Eastern Palace, and say 'Our Eastern Palace', and I feel sick when I hear it."

"You……"

Knowing that Ding Xiang was complaining for herself, Fang Ruxuan still told her carefully: "From now on, you must never say such things again, especially not in front of Your Highness."

As she said that, Fang Ruxuan sighed faintly and said: "Without them, there will be others. One day, this East Palace will be another small harem. If you can't hold your breath, sooner or later One day, our masters and servants will be swallowed up by bones. Remember?"

Ding Xiang was stunned for a while, then nodded and said: "Your maidservant, remember, it's my maidservant who is being frivolous. This servant girl punishes herself by not eating for a day, and she will never do it again."

Fang Ruxuan laughed, "You don't eat for a day, and you faint from hunger. I should feel sorry for you again. You recruited me on purpose? Just remember it, and it's fine if you get punished. Punishment is for those who don't have a long memory. on the body."

Ding Xiang nodded with embarrassment, turned around and went out, exhorting Su Ye and others to prevent them from making the same mistake as herself.

After taking a nap and getting up, seeing the sunshine outside, Ding Xiang came up with an idea: "Master, do you want to go for a walk?"

Thinking of the pear blossoms and apricot blossoms that Lu Wu mentioned, Fang Ruxuan nodded enthusiastically, "Let's go, it's time to move your muscles and bones. I'm bored all day, but my bones feel soft."

A group of people left the East Palace, sat and stopped all the way to the southeast corner of the imperial garden, and as Luwu said, the apricot and pear blossoms were enchanting.

Clusters of snow-white flowers bloomed on the branches, and a layer fell on the ground. At a glance, the whole forest seemed ethereal and quiet like a fairyland.

"Someone must have told you not to sweep away Luo Hua, otherwise, where would there be such a scene today?"

Su Ye said softly.

There are people in the palace who are responsible for daily cleaning, and they must be clean and dust-free, but along the way, there are only a few weeds and fallen leaves in other places, but the petals here are still white.

Fang Ruxuan walked into the woods with a smile, her feet were soft to the touch, and her nostrils were fragrant, that refreshing feeling was intoxicating.

After walking along the woods for a while, I felt that my mood was much better than before. Thinking of what the imperial doctor said about the joy of the mother's body, Fang Ruxuan felt more and more what Lu Wu said. Makes a lot of sense.

"It seems that I should go out and take a look every day."

Fang Ruxuan said to the people around her with a smile.

Walking into the depths of the forest, when I looked up, I saw a branch of peach blossom protruding from the palace wall in the distance. The pale pink buds on the branch trembled as if they were about to bloom. It is conceivable that the whole peach tree How gorgeous it has opened.

Unable to help, Fang Ruxuan remembered Chu Yuan's words: In the coming year, let's enjoy the peach blossoms together, okay?
Today, it is the season when peaches and plums are in full bloom, but the person who invited him is not around.

Feeling a little lonely in her heart, she thought that if Chu Yuan was here, she would have come with her long ago. Thinking of this would only make him feel more guilty. Fang Ruxuan put away her disappointment, pointed to the peach blossoms on the palace wall and said: "Come on, let's go there and have a look."

The group of people left the forest and circled along the high palace wall. When they reached the main entrance, Fang Ruxuan was a little stunned.

On the dusty plaque, there were three large characters: Wanfu Palace.

This is the palace where Concubine Ning lived in the past.

After entering the palace for half a year, I only knew from Chu Yuan that Concubine Ning was a gentle and gentle person, who was very favored by King Yao back then, and Wanfu Palace was once as magnificent as Fengming Palace and Changle Palace, but Chu Yuan I have never brought Fang Ruxuan here once.

During the Ching Ming Festival, Fang Ruxuan originally wanted to come to offer incense sticks, but everyone around her persuaded them, saying that Wanfu Palace has been empty for 20 years and is full of dust. As for the fetus, Fang Ruxuan only offered incense for Concubine Ning in the small Buddhist hall of the East Palace, and recited the scriptures several times.

At this moment, standing in front of the gate of Wanfu Palace, Fang Ruxuan actually felt that deep in her heart, there seemed to be a voice calling to herself.

Fang Ruxuan knew: even if Chu Yuan never mentioned it, but in his heart, he was always thinking of cleaning up the grievances of Concubine Ning, right?
But Chu Yuan is a man after all, if he spends his energy on this matter, it will definitely make people feel that he loves his sons and daughters, even King Yao, who is a father, will have complaints.

After all, King Yao did a thorough investigation back then, but in the end it was nothing.

That being the case, if you can't do it, if it's inconvenient to do it, let me do it.

Fang Ruxuan stared deeply at the dusty plaque, turned her head and told Zheng Ping: "Open the palace gate."

The gate of the palace is not locked, so it can be seen that people in the palace are not prohibited from coming here, but it is said that Concubine Ning refused to go, and then it was rumored that the Wanfu Palace was too hostile, so the palace people did not dare to come here, as time passed , the formerly magnificent Wanfu Palace has become such a lonely place.

With a "squeak", the gate that had not been repaired for a long time opened slowly, and at the entrance, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds and fallen leaves from last autumn, paving the ground.

Ding Xiang and Su Ye supported Fang Ruxuan from left to right, stepped over the threshold carefully, and entered the palace gate.

Judging from the size of the courtyard, Wanfu Palace and Changle Palace are comparable. There are a few peach trees planted by the wall, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom at the moment. .

In the middle of the yard, there are two huge water tanks. Presumably, in midsummer, the koi swimming under the water will make the lotus blooming on the water more graceful.

Walking up the stone steps, Fang Ruxuan saw Zheng Ping's hesitation when she stood in front of the hall door, "Master, let's go here. It's better not to enter the main hall, so as not to disturb you and the little master."

Fang Ruxuan recalled that before Concubine Ning died, she wrote her grievances in blood. The entire wall shocked the hearts of those who witnessed it. It is said that some young maidservants had nightmares for several days in a row.

What kind of determination is it that makes a woman with a gentle and weak temperament make such a move?
Fang Ruxuan shook her head without hesitation, "Open the door."

Zheng Ping hesitated for a moment, nodded, turned around, stretched out his hand and slowly opened the door.

It has not been exposed to the sun for 20 years and through the air, as soon as the door is opened, there is a cold and musty smell, which makes people want to back away.

Fang Ruxuan stood at the entrance of the hall for a while, until her eyes had adjusted to the darkness inside, she put Ding Xiang's hand on her and stepped across the threshold.

The interior of the hall is fully furnished, and even all the items on the antique shelf are still there, but it is covered with a thick layer of dust, so it can be seen that the arrangement of things is the same as it was back then.

After lingering for a look, Fang Ruxuan turned around and walked towards the inner hall. Zheng Ping led the way in front, walking very slowly.

"Master, don't look..."

As soon as she turned out of the screen, Fang Ruxuan felt a blur in front of her eyes, and then she heard Ding Xiang's panicked voice, and immediately after, her eyes were covered by Ding Xiang's hand.

Fang Ruxuan slowly pushed away Ding Xiang's hand.

At the entrance, on the snow-white wall, there is a dense wall of characters. The delicate handwriting and strokes are strong. Because of the resentment in the chest of the writer, the whole text is written in one go. The strong emotions in the words make people feel that there is a whole body. The golden-red phoenix spewed fire and rushed towards him.

The dark red color, due to years of precipitation, now has a frightening dark red phantom.
