The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 104 The Spruce
After returning to the palace that day, Wanyu couldn't get sick anymore.

The cause of her illness was not invaded by evil spirits, but her body was exhausted from worrying too much, and even ordinary soups and medicines could not cure her.

The emperor also came to visit her every three or two days, but how could others understand the pain of seeing his dearest relative pass away in front of his own eyes?

Although the emperor also issued an imperial decree, he failed to save his mother's life after all.

She didn't want to complain, but this emotion was not something she could restrain if she wanted to.

Rong Yue and Concubine Yi often came to chat with her, but she always managed it reluctantly, with a very stiff smile on her face.

Surprisingly, when the news spread throughout the Six Palaces, the Empress changed her previous quarrel with Wanyu. Instead of stepping on her, she sympathized with Wanyu, and even privately ordered Qingyue to seal the money. Go to Niu Hulu's mansion to help Shu Shujue Luo's funeral.

Maybe it was the complete downfall of the Niu Hulu clan that made the Queen no longer have any scruples, or now that she is eight months pregnant and is about to give birth, she can understand what it feels like to be a mother, and by the way, accumulate some blessings for the child in her womb.

In October, when the temperature dropped sharply and typhoid fever was the most common, the Empress Dowager ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a lot of sachets for exorcism and distribute them to Liugong.

Yunshan, who was left to serve in front of the imperial court, got this job, took the sachet and sent it to Changchun Palace from the Qing Dynasty.

When entering the Changchun Palace, a smell of vinegar wafted through the nostrils. The palace servants carried boiled vinegar water in their hands and fumigated the palace to get rid of illnesses. Concubine Hui was sitting on the warm couch in the main hall, playing with a handful of jade ruyis in her hands. Bright and beautiful.

Years of ups and downs in the palace have already washed away her Mongolian characteristics. If it is not mentioned now, others may forget that she was born in the Horqin tribe.

Seeing Yunshan standing in front of the door holding a few sachets, she coughed slightly, raised her hand and smiled and said, "What are you doing there, come in and talk."

Her tone was extremely soft, as if she had a very close relationship with Yunshan, and she didn't have the slightest pretensions of her master.

Yunshan respectfully put the sachet on the small pear wood table beside him, and then said: "Ms. Hui, this is a new sachet made by the Empress Dowager's Ministry of Internal Affairs. Nepeta, perilla, notopterygium, and asarum are selected inside. , scallion, Ligusticum ligusticum and several medicinal herbs are ground into a sachet made of fresh flower juice and unpleasant smell. Hanging this thing in front of the bed has the effect of calming the mind, expelling wind and relieving cold."

Concubine Hui smiled calmly: "The old ancestor has a heart. You are too. This is a job done by a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I will trouble you to send it off."

Yunshan lowered her head, and secretly said sadly: "What's the difference between a servant girl and other servants?"

Concubine Hui's expression froze slightly, and she asked with concern: "What's the matter? Now I'm serving in front of the emperor, and I often meet with the emperor, but it still doesn't go my way?"

Yunshan replied: "It's just that we meet often. Does the emperor see too few court ladies every day? There is a lack of slaves. And since the slaves confessed to being noble, the emperor has never looked at them again."

Concubine Hui saw her pitiful look, and said with pity: "Hey, how can I bear to see you like this. You are just a love-sick woman, and you are born with a watery spirit, and you treat the emperor wholeheartedly. For the sake of the emperor, I have to keep you. By his side, aren't you?"

For a while, Yun Shan's body seemed to be unbelievable, and she stared at Concubine Hui closely with her face up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is willing to help slaves?"

Concubine Hui hurriedly got up, went down the steps and walked to Yunshan, took a deep breath of her breath, then closed her eyes and sighed happily, said: "It smells so good, is it the rose gel?"

Yun Shan nodded slightly, Concubine Hui said again: "It's not the season for roses now, if you entrust the eunuch to get this thing from outside the palace, and add it to the eunuch's favor, will your whole month's salary be discounted?"

Yunshan was a little ashamed, and clasped her bare fingers behind her hands: "Your Majesty said that the emperor likes this taste. I can't get any good things, so I can only shrink my clothes and diet, and work hard on this little thing."

Concubine Hui still had a gentle smile on her face, but secretly she felt contempt for Yunshan.

After all, she is a lowly servant girl from a small family. It is a fool's dream to hope for divine favor just because of her beauty.

If it wasn't for pointing at her to check and balance Wanyu, how could Concubine Hui have the heart to laugh and chat with her here?

"Yes, the emperor likes it, but there is one more thing that men all over the world like." Concubine Hui gave Yunshan a meaningful look, then took her hand and entered her bedroom.

This is Yunshan's first time entering Concubine Hui's bedroom, the decoration is very different from Wanyan and Concubine Yi's.

Concubine Hui's dormitory is decorated in a Mongolian style, which looks unique.

In the middle is an incense burner that is half the height of a person. I don’t know what is burning in it. It is extremely fragrant. Looking at the lavender smoke floating from the pores of the incense burner, Yun Shan gradually feels that his body has become extremely light, and there is an indescribable comfort.

Yun Shan Shen Si swam to nowhere, her eyes also lost their light and became dull, but there was still a thin smile on her face, raising a soft arc.

"How does this fragrance compare to rose dew?"

It was Huibin's words that brought Yunshan back to her thoughts, she couldn't stop nodding, praising it was wonderful.

Concubine Hui approached Yun Shan with a smile, her delicate face was almost close to Yun Shan's eyes, with a secret and coquettish smile on the corner of her mouth, she paused for a moment, then whispered: "Sometimes the love between men and women is uncontrollable."

Yun Shan immediately understood what was burning in the censer, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back in shock: "My lady, I'm afraid this is not right."

Concubine Hui gave an understatement of 'oh', put the lid on the incense burner with a smile and put it out: "There are so many inappropriate things in this palace, if you behave in the right way, how long will it take to survive? But you If you don’t want my palace to force you, just wait for the day when the emperor looks at you with admiration.”

Yunshan knew that what was burning in the censer must be an aphrodisiac, and if others found out about it, it would undoubtedly be a death penalty according to palace rules.But what Concubine Hui said is also reasonable, according to the current situation, if you want to wait for the emperor to take the initiative to show mercy, I'm afraid it will be easier than ascending to the sky.

She asked tentatively, "Ma'am, can this thing be noticed by others?"

Concubine Hui smiled without saying a word, she just turned around and took out a blue pill the size of a thumb in a dark space under the bed.

She took plain paper and wrapped the pill tightly, then handed it to Yunshan, and pressed it lightly on her palm: "You are the most ordinary bird, if you want to become a phoenix, how can you not be born without encountering fire? Fu Xi Misfortune depends on it, all the good things in this world, if you want to get it, you have to pay the corresponding price."

Concubine Hui glanced at her with raised eyebrows, then turned around and sat on the couch, bent down to take off the bottom of the flowerpot, and yawned again: "I'm a little tired right now after talking to you for so long. Your own wealth , you make up your own mind, Ben Gong can only help you get here."

Yunshan carefully put the pills wrapped in plain paper into the skirt of his clothes, and took a sachet to hang on the four feet of Concubine Hui's bed to wait for her to take a nap: "Your Majesty's kindness today, I will definitely remember it. If you can taste what you want in the future , will never forget the kindness of your mother!"

Concubine Hui didn't pay attention to her, she just smiled faintly, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
