The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 22 The Bee Sting
On this day, after dinner, Wanyu took the rubbings of "Cui Yingying's Tale of the Moon in the West Chamber" and lay down on the warm seat under the window to read, when she heard Rongyue's voice from outside the house from a distance.

Wan Lai was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Shuang Ruo and Yun Shan to greet her, but before she left the bedroom, she saw Rong Yue and Dong Wen Yin lifted the curtain and entered, the two were full of smiles, Dong Wen Yin covered her mouth and said: "My sister is still sitting in the palace. I can live with it, but I don’t know that everyone outside will be overjoyed.”

"Oh?" Wanyu put down the rubbings, welcomed the two to their seats, and ordered Shuangruo to prepare some preparations, and finally asked: "I just hid in the palace for half a day, but what new things happened?"

Rong Yue's temperament was more stable, and she tried her best to suppress her joy, with a secretive face: "In this imperial garden, there is a good show of 'self-defeating'."

Wan Lai asked eagerly, Rong Yue patted her hand lightly and said in a deep voice: "Today, Nala promised to find out where the emperor was, and she waited in the imperial garden early, covered her body with fragrance powder, and dressed carefully But before the emperor came, he was sweating profusely from the sun."

Rong Yue's words hadn't finished yet, but Dong Wenyin, who was on the side, squinted her eyes with a smile, and said after Rong Yue's words: "The sweat is soaked in powder, and the smell is stronger, but I don't want to attract the tail bees that are all over the imperial garden." Biting after her. Nalashi lost his mind, and ran all over the garden waving a silk handkerchief. At this moment, the emperor passed by. Seeing her yelling indiscriminately, there is no rule, so he ordered Eunuch Liang to put her down. When she came down, she took a closer look and found out that her head was swollen into a cake from staring at her, but the emperor was shocked."

Dong Wenyin covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, shook her head and said, "Sister, you said, she is looking for something for herself? The emperor doesn't want to see her at all. I don't know how the emperor will despise her if she makes such a fuss."

Dong Wenyin only cared about her own joy, but she didn't notice any change in Wanyu's expression: "Did the imperial physician diagnose and treat it? The venomous bee is very poisonous, it's not a joke."

Rong Yue smiled softly and said: "Diagnosed, the imperial doctor said nothing happened. It's just that there is some kind of powder on her body, it's just mixed with several kinds of pollen with the strongest fragrance, ground and smashed on her body. The pollen saw sweat Naturally it becomes nectar, so why don't you attract bees to collect it?"

Wan Yu sank her thoughts, and said lightly: "At first I thought she was restrained, but I didn't expect her methods to be so vicious."

Dong Wenyin put down the veil and accepted the happy words, and said gently: "Why did my sister say such a thing, how can such a superficial method be considered vicious?"

Rong Yue was alert, and gave Wan Yu a meaningful look: "You mean?"

"Elder sister also thinks it's wrong?" Wanyu raised her eyes to meet Rong Yue's eyes: "No matter how bad Nala promised, the promised position is there, so why is it so difficult to go to the House of Internal Affairs to get some incense powder? She was so downcast that she had to pick pollen and grind it herself, there are already many bees and insects in the early autumn, is she deliberately trying to make things difficult for herself?"

When she said this politely, both Rong Yue and Dong Wenyin's complexions sank.

She played with the sachet in her hand, her eyes rolled around, she thought for a moment and whispered: "Only the eunuchs who serve the emperor can know the whereabouts of the emperor. Liang Jiugong is the chief eunuch, and he will not flirt with the women in the harem. It is the little Qian who is beside the emperor." Zi and Ma Jiachang have close contacts on weekdays, so thinking about it, Nala promised to get the news from Ma Jiachang there, and Baba rushed to the Imperial Garden to flatter her, but she didn't want to make a joke."

Wan Lai ordered Yun Shan to fetch some 'Jin Chuang Yu Mu Mu Ointment' brought from the mansion, this medicine is the best for reducing swelling and relieving pain.

I got up from the warm seat and smoothed the creases on the hem of my clothes, and asked the two of them, "Have you agreed to visit Nala?"

"The emperor doesn't even care about her, so what are we going to do?" Dong Wenyin shook her head, and said coldly: "She and Ma Jia are always on the same level, now that a dog bites a dog, the sisters just sit back and watch the joke. "

Wannao smiled but it wasn't a smile, she just took the medicine package Yunshan brought and said calmly: "We still want to go, now the whole palace shuns her, so the friendship that gives charcoal in the snow is rare."

She stepped forward to hold Rong Yue's hand, and lightly pressed the back of her hand: "Nowadays, the queen and eldest sister are removed in the palace, and the elder sister and concubine Hui are respected. Ma Jiachang's actions are not just fulfilling the elder sister?"

Rong Yue's complexion suddenly changed, and he asked suspiciously: "You mean, you want me to win over Nalashi?"

Wan Lai nodded, telling Rong Yue the key point.

Although Nala's family is not good enough, but it's not enough to make things happen, but it's more than enough to make things worse. If you throw an olive branch to her at this moment, she will be grateful and not have two hearts.

Although she attached herself to the empress and the Ma Jia family one after another, her status in the palace for three years is still a low-level promise, and she may not have the intention to help her two.

"Having the intention of harming others is unacceptable, but my sister has to plan for herself. Right now, sister Sheng Chong, it is inevitable that others will not think wrongly. At this time, it is better to have one more person to help her than to let her be used by thoughtful people again." .”

Rong Yue directly praised Wanyu for her meticulous mind and her ability to think about such long-term things, so she dragged Wanyu's hand and rushed to Changchun Palace even more anxiously than her.

Dong Wenyin, who was following behind, was unwilling to accept Nala's agreement, but now the two sisters who are close to her are going to visit, if she doesn't go, she will inevitably be the target of others, so she can only follow behind with a disgruntled face.

A few people arrived outside the Changchun Palace, and a strong scent of flowers mixed with sandalwood came to the nostrils. I want to vomit." After saying that, he retched twice, saluted Wannai and Rongyue, said that he was not feeling well and went back to the palace to wait, and later just asked Nala for her and promised to be well.

Seeing that she really didn't want to enter the palace, Wanyu didn't force her, so she told her to be careful on the way and entered the palace with Rongyue.

As soon as the front foot stepped into the palace gate, I saw the palace ladies and eunuchs walking around holding an incense burner in their hands. Concubine Hui was standing in the corridor of the main hall, urging everyone to burn more sandalwood.

She caught sight of Wanya and Rongyue, smiled and greeted each other, the three of them greeted each other with blessings, Concubine Hui said affectionately: "The palace is so suffocating, hurry up and sit inside."

Knowing that Wanyi and Rongyue came to visit Nala and agreed, Concubine Hui nodded gently: "After all, you have intentions, and now Nala has agreed to apply medicine and is lying down in the Chengxi Hall." She pointed to the West Side Hall, With a serious expression, he lowered his voice: "People cry endlessly when they move back to the palace. It doesn't matter if I try to persuade you. The two of you should go and persuade. A girl's family is the most important, so don't be tempted to do it for a while something stupid."

"Did Nala promise to be seriously injured?"

"Injury is second to none, it's just that beautiful face at the moment." Concubine Hui frowns and shakes her head after a pause: "Forget it, you go in and take a look and you'll know."

The two followed Concubine Hui into the Palace of Chengxi, Concubine Hui explained a few times and said that the emperor had ordered that the fragrance in the palace be removed to avoid attracting bees, and left in a hurry.

But as soon as she came out of the hall, the two of them heard the sound of dishes being smashed in the sleeping hall, followed by Nala's crying voice: "Take the medicine away, I won't drink it!"
