Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 186

Zhou Wei sat down slowly while talking and laughing.

Liu Chenxi listened to Zhou Wei's words, and a gorgeous smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth, but the ice in her eyes didn't melt a little bit.

"It's not that I'm sore, it's just the truth." Liu Chenxi replied with a smile.

Just after Zhou Wei sat down, Ru Yang brought the teacup slowly, looked at Zhou Wei and said slowly: "Concubine Zhou, please have some tea."

"Put it here." Looking at Ru Yang's appearance, Zhou Wei said softly.

If she was here alone at ordinary times, Ru Yang wouldn't be so reserved to salute her, but now, Concubine Liu is still a mysterious person in Hualou's heart. She doesn't seem to be from Donghe, but she can't get it It must belong to whose side.

Concubine Liu didn't have much contact with the queen mother, and she never had contact with Donghua, and she was Donghe's concubine, but she just seemed to be happy with the situation.

Liu Chenxi looked at Hualou's face, the Hualou complexion is very good now, Liu Chenxi's fingers under the water sleeves were tightly clenched together, pale bones appeared on the back of his hands.

"Concubine Hui's complexion is rosy. Is there any happy event? Why don't you share it with us." Liu Chenxi said with a smile, while Zhou Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said: "She should have slept recently. It's too much."

Hua Lou didn't answer Concubine Liu's words directly, but just when Zhou Wei interjected, Hua Lou continued: "You are a real person, if you want to say that I am sleepy, just say so."

"I said you're not happy anymore. You slept until the afternoon and didn't wake up. Remember to get up early tomorrow to practice swords with me." Zhou Wei said lightly, holding up the teacup, speaking casually.

Concubine Liu didn't insert a sentence in the three sentences, she looked at Zhou Wei and Hualou with a teacup and said in a deep voice: "I really envy you for being such good sisters."

Hua Lou smiled and said nothing, but Zhou Wei replied: "What kind of talk is this, don't you think of us as your own?"

"It's not that, it's just that you two have more similar interests." Liu Chenxi looked at Zhou Wei, and she always had a feeling that Zhou Wei knew everything about Concubine Hui. In the beginning, Concubine Hui entered the palace. At that time, their relationship was still so incompatible. What happened in the middle that they didn't know made the relationship between the two of them so good now?

Is that nice?Or fake?

Liu Chenxi looked at Zhou Wei, then at the painting building, and finally swallowed all the anger brought by her. She had to try to start from Zhou Wei.

Hualou listened to Liu Chenxi's words and said slowly: "Actually, it's not that we share similar interests. It's just that you've walked a lot, so it's fine. You're not in good health, so we don't want to bother you. It's good now." , when you recover, let's walk around more, there are not many people in this palace."

What she said was polite words, and she had to look at the person to move around.

"Concubine Hui is right, but today I came to see Concubine Hui to discuss something." Liu Chenxi said slowly, Hualou's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Whatever, just say it directly." Well, we are not outsiders."

Liu Chenxi stared fixedly at the painting building, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised a brilliant arc.

"I want to ask Empress Hui, if the empress in this palace is in trouble with the men outside, what is the crime?" Liu Chenxi said lightly, and she looked at the painting building with burning eyes, not tolerant at all. Hualou dodges.

Hua Lou also looked back at her eyes, although some doubts arose faintly in her heart, but she still looked at Liu Chenxi and said: "I can't make a conclusion about what kind of crime is the concubine and the foreign minister. First, I am neither the queen nor manage the harem. Second, I am not the emperor. I don't know how the emperor will look at this matter. Concubine Liu, you seem to be asking the wrong person this question. Now Although the palace is calm and calm, in fact, the storm hidden under this tranquility will blow up at any time, so it's better for Concubine Liu not to meddle in her own business!"

Zhou Wei stared fixedly at the painting building, the smile on her face was still there, but it just froze on her lips following her words, as if poisoned.

The evasion in the front and the warning in the back, Zhou Wei's heart is also buzzing. Liu Chenxi is talking about the concubine, and she probably is talking about the painting building. She can't confirm it, because there are recently the Queen Mother and Shen Dong. Things, all of this has to be said separately.

But Zhou Wei thought about it carefully for a moment, and he already felt that what Liu Chenxi said was a painting building.

Because of her eyes and the smile on her mouth, she is still recovering from her illness, so why did she suddenly want to discuss something with Hualou?

Zhou Wei didn't say a word, just watched quietly.

But Liu Chenxi laughed lightly when he heard Hualou's words, with indescribable sarcasm.

"Concubine Hui's words, I can't understand. The concubine of the harem, Hong Xing, is out of the wall. Is it possible that the emperor is still willing to see it? Will he be happy to see it?" Liu Chenxi looked at the painting building and asked.

Hua Lou smiled: "That's not necessarily true, why don't you go and ask the emperor to see what he says? After all, I'm not the emperor, so it's hard to know what the emperor is thinking, isn't it? "

Zhou Wei looked at Liu Chenxi quietly, and then said: "Sometimes, what we see is not the truth, who are you seeing messing with foreign ministers?"

Liu Chenxi looked at Zhou Yao slowly, pursed her red lips, and said slowly after a long time: "Actually, I didn't, I just asked, the most important thing I want to know is, will the empress dowager die? "

"The queen mother will die, why not die, when she gets old, she will always die of old age."

Listening to Hualou's words, Zhou Wei frowned slightly. At this moment, what kind of words touched her rare corners, and now even the tone of her words changed.

Liu Chenxi's expression changed when she saw Hualou, and her expression also gradually changed.

"Concubine Hui, you actually know exactly what I mean."

Hualou sighed deeply, and when he was about to speak, Donghe's voice sounded slowly behind him: "What's the meaning of what you said? Concubine Hui's words are not unreasonable. The Queen Mother is old, You will always die, why? Are you in a hurry?"

Donghe walked over slowly, Concubine Liu slowly got up to salute, Zhou Wei took a look at the painting building that sat there without changing his face, and also did not get up to salute, and suddenly understood the reason for her sudden face change.

Because Donghe might have come over just now and she saw him.

Donghe looked at Liu Chenxi and said slowly, "You are not in good health, so don't be too polite."

Hualou looked at Donghe and asked slowly, "Why are you here?"

"Just come to have a look, are you busy?" Donghe asked slowly while looking at the painting building.

Hua Lou frowned slightly, and suddenly understood that what Donghe was talking about was that Shen Qingqiang didn't care about the harem, and what happened to her here.

What is she busy with, everything is still as usual, there is no difference, she is not a queen, and those concubines don't have to come to pay their respects every day.

"Everything is fine here, there is nothing wrong with it." Hualou replied lightly.

Donghe looked at her, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If you have any inconvenience, just come and tell me."

Liu Chenxi looked at Donghe's appearance towards the painting building, and then looked at the expression on the painting building's face that was so cold that there was no temperature at all, and really couldn't understand what the situation was.

Donghe looked at Liu Chenxi's expression was not very good, Zhou Wei watched Donghe sit down, probably there was something to tell Hualou, so he got up and was about to leave, at that time, Liu Chenxi also followed Zhou Wei Yao got up together and walked out of the Xunfeng Palace.

Both of them had their own concerns, Zhou Yu didn't speak first, but Liu Chenxi looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Since entering the palace, I have never seen you being so pleasant to anyone, can I ask you a question?" Is there anything special about Concubine Hui that deserves something like yours?"

Once in this palace, the relationship between the two of them wasn't too bad, but it gradually became farther away later on.

"Which place are you referring to? Good relationship? Or is it closer?" Zhou Wei looked at Liu Chenxi and asked slowly.

Liu Chenxi was silent for a moment and said, "I'm referring to the fact that there is no quarrel between you and her."

"It's not that there's no quarrel between me and her. At least at the beginning, we had a lot of misunderstandings, but everything is a misunderstanding. After the misunderstanding is resolved, it's good to know what kind of people and temperament we are." Zhou Wei spoke casually, and Liu Chenxi was silent for a long time without speaking.

"I remember that you are more concerned about Shen Hualou's affairs, but she is just a person who looks more like Shen Hualou."

"At the beginning, I thought so too. It's just that there are many things in this world that we can't see with the naked eye. In fact, there is no special relationship between me and her. I just like this person purely. If you want The research should also study why Donghe is so obedient to her. Studying the relationship between me and her is not good for you." Zhou Wei's words were very straightforward, and Liu Chenxi looked at her. Zhou Wei's eyes remained silent for a long time.

In a few words, Zhou Wei maintained the painting building closely, so she seemed to be unable to get any news from Zhou Wei.

There are so many things that Liu Chenxi doesn't understand, because what Donghua said to her at the beginning, how come it has changed now?

And she was the last to know all this.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was August when the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers were in full bloom. Shen Qingqiang in Jingyang Palace, seeing her growing belly, became more and more panicked.

Not because of anything else, but because of what Shen Hualou once said, the day Shen Hualou's child died was the day her child died.

And she can only protect her stomach and live day by day, as if waiting to die.

Not only Shen Qingqiang was counting the days in a panic, but the painting building was also counting the days carefully, she forgot about it, sitting in the hall and copying something, suddenly looked up at Ru Yang and asked: "Today What day is it?"

Ru Yang was slightly taken aback, what day?Today is not a special day.

Then I only heard Hua Lou ask: "How many days away is the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Ru Yang suddenly realized: "It's been a few days, today is the third day of August."

After hearing the answer, Hualou lowered his head and continued with the work in hand, but Ru Yang said indifferently: "Madam, do you remember that there is something special about Mid-Autumn Festival? These days you always ask how many days are left. "

"It's nothing special. I want to enjoy the moon. Besides, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the palace should prepare things for this winter, but there are still many things to be busy." She said While writing and talking, Ru Yang remembered it in her heart. This year is different from previous years. In previous years, it was the empress who took care of these things. This year, it is all about painting buildings. Thinking about it this way, Ru Yang can understand The painter asked again and again.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, everyone in each palace will get busy on their own." Ru Yang looked at the painting building and said slowly.

Hualou looked at Ru Yang's appearance, smiled slightly and said, "Yes, but we have to see it anyway."

Ru Yang is busy drying the paper. I just got it out of use. I need to take advantage of the sun to dry it, seal it up and put it away. It won’t feel damp when I take it out in winter. I cut window grilles during the Chinese New Year. It will be easy to cut.

After a while, Hua Lou looked at Ru Yang and asked, "By the way, how is the one from Jingyang Palace?"

"It's still the same, I heard that they are all crazy, ma'am, but even if this person is crazy, he will still protect the child carefully, maybe this is the nature of us women." Ru Yang said while working, painting the building He smiled slightly, and then asked, "How do you say?"

"I also heard from the palace servants that some wild cats often sneaked into Jingyang Palace. Although she was afraid, she smashed the wild cats out while holding the things in the palace. I never went in again." After Ru Yang finished speaking, Hua Lou's eyes gradually changed.

"Since when are there wild cats in this palace, why have I never seen them?"

After drying the things in her hands, Ru Yang walked slowly to the side of the painting building, and said in a low voice: "Where are there stray cats in this palace? They were found by someone with a heart. I heard about them a few years ago. The wild cat killed the prince's concubine, not just one or two."

Hua Lou looked at Ru Yang, and slightly curled his lips: "Where did those wild cats go?"

"Going back to Zhongcui Palace, I still feel strange, I just wanted to tell my empress." After Ru Yang finished speaking in Hualou's ear, Hualou frowned.

Zhongcui Palace is Zhou Wei's palace, not to mention that she disdains such vulgar means, and moreover, she will tell Hualou if she wants to do something, it is impossible to do it privately, I am afraid that those who are interested will have a lot of knowledge here.

"Who goes to Zhou Yao's palace these days?" Hualou asked slowly.

Ru Yang thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Liu has been there these days, and Concubine Xian has also been there several times."

Hua Lou was silent for a moment, then handwritten a prescription and handed it to Ru Yang.

"You go to the Imperial Hospital to grab this medicine, find Imperial Physician Xue to grab it, and send it to Zhou Wei after you catch it, and you say that the flowers and plants in her palace are dying, and ask her to boil the medicine and pour it on the water. On the flowers and grass."

After Hualou finished speaking, Ru Yang followed Hualou's instructions and quickly went to the Tai Hospital to grab the medicine, and sent it to Zhou Wei when she was done. Yuan went to eat there, but after half a day, only Ru Yang appeared in Zhongcui Palace.

"Why did you come here alone, where is your mother?" Zhou Wei looked at Ru Yang and asked.

Ru Yang handed the things in her hand to Zhou Wei, and said: "My mother asked me to bring it to my mother, saying that it was to prevent the flowers and plants in Zhongcui Palace from dying early, so I asked my mother to boil the medicine and mix it with the medicine. Shangshui asked the palace servants to water all the flowers and plants." After Ru Yang finished speaking, she turned her head slightly and saw a few little wild cats behind Zhou Wei.

Ru Yang frowned slightly, but she thought that Hualou had already given the medicine, so the cat should be left alone, right?

Zhou Wei looked at the herbal package in Ru Yang's hand, frowned slightly, and then took it anyway.

When Su Yuan came out with the things, Ru Yang had already left, Su Yuan put the things on the stone chair aside, Zhou Mao handed the medicine to Su Yuan, and explained according to what Hualou said.

She thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so she quickly came to the Xunfeng Palace.

Zhou Wei likes cats, Hualou knows it, and if this wild cat caused trouble in the palace, she would definitely be involved, but Hualou did not expect that she would plant this matter on Zhou Kui .

Liu Chenxi must have put something in Zhou Wei's palace, which attracted the cat to run somewhere. A pack of herbs in the painting building covered all those smells, ensuring that no animals would go into Zhongcui's palace. go.

Zhou Wei came, rushed into the room, looked at the painting building and asked, "What's growing in my palace? Send me a pack of herbs."

"There are bugs growing in the flowers and plants in your palace. I just saw it the other day, and I forgot to tell you. I suddenly remembered and asked Ru Yang to send you the medicine." Hua Lou smiled as he said it, as if it was true. the same.

Zhou Wei didn't ask any more questions, but just sat down slowly beside Hualou, and Hualou continued to copy the scriptures. Seeing Zhou Wei sitting silently watching, she was fascinated by the painting. Lou copied it all day long, and was exhausted.

Hualou glanced at her indifferently, then raised his voice and shouted: "Ru Yang, bring paper and pen over here."

Zhou Wei seemed to have reacted suddenly, got up and was about to run, but was grabbed by Hualou.

"Sit for a while, stay with me, look, my hands are like this." Hua Lou said, looking at Zhou Wei pitifully, and offered his hands.

Zhou Wei took her hand, looked at the palm and the back of the hand several times, and said with great distress: "Oh, it really looks so pitiful."

Hualou looked into Zhou Wei's eyes, blinked and said, "It's really pitiful, so, sister Zhou, please help me, copy a little for me, a little is enough!"

Although Zhou Wei was too shameless looking at the painting building, but seeing her index finger collapsed in the end, she reluctantly helped her to copy, but this copy was copied until the early morning of the next day.

Copying from dusk to late night, and dawn again, Zhou Wei felt her whole body was sore, and then she reacted in a trance, looking back at the painting building beside her, her eyes were wide open, and she was still copying carefully stroke by stroke .

"Shen Hualou, do you know what time it is now? I'm going to be exhausted, aren't you tired?" Zhou Wei looked at her with helplessness.

Hualou was still concentrating on handling his own things, Zhou Wei put the things in front of Hualou, and Hualou fell down on the soft couch beside him with a plop.

Zhou Wei really looked helpless, looking at the painting building in front of him.

Ru Yang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, go into the house and rest, we will take care of you."

In the end, Hualou was hugged by Ru Yang and the others to lie down on the bed, and Zhou Mao also lay down and fell asleep. Fortunately, the two of them stayed up all night and finally almost finished copying.

These things are all to be used during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the painting building actually has a few days to copy, but she wants to get it ready and put it away earlier, and she is also busy these days.

It was a mess, Zhou Wei and Hualou went to bed, and Ru Yang quickly cleaned up the mess.

Hualou and Zhou Wei can really sleep.

But after Zhong Cui’s injection of medicine, those wild cats disappeared, and he didn’t know where they went. When Su Yuan came to look for Zhou Wei, Zhou Wei had already fallen asleep, and when he chatted with Ru Yang Then Ru Yang said slowly: "The cat left as soon as it left. A few days ago, it went to Jingyang Palace to make troubles. It's not raised by Concubine Zhou. It's hard to say what happened."

As soon as Ru Yang reminded him, Su Yuan also suddenly remembered, and seeing Ru Yang's faint smile, he felt relieved in a trance.

Throughout the whole day, Zhou Wei and Hualou were sleeping, and Su Yuan didn't go back to Zhongcui Palace, just helping Ru Yang with some things in Xunfeng Palace.

Hualou and Zhou Wei get along very well, as do Su Yuan and Ru Yang, they seem to be in perfect harmony.

After sleeping until dusk, the two woke up on the same bed, but the first thing they did when they woke up was Hualou yawned, but Zhou Wei looked at her like this and quickly shot at her, Hualou Caught off guard, she was almost hit by Zhou Wei, but she hastily stretched out her left hand that didn't cover her mouth, and took Zhou Wei's move.

The two of them were sitting on the bed fighting hard, and it seemed that they couldn't be separated directly.

When Su Yuan, Ru Yang and the others pushed open the door, what they saw were two concubines sitting cross-legged on the bed, which was unprecedented.

"Why are you still fighting after sleeping?" Su Yuan asked suspiciously.

Hua Lou hurriedly said: "It wasn't me who hit her first, it was her, you guys come and pull her away."

Zhou Wei glanced back at Su Yuan and Ru Yang and said, "I'm about to starve to death, have you passed the meal?"

"Let's pass on the meal now." Ru Yang pulled Su Yuan and ran away.

Hualou looked at Zhou Wei and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I'm also very hungry. I admit defeat, I can't beat you."

Zhou Wei looked at her, quickly withdrew her hands and said, "You will cheat, and there will be no chance in the future."

After dinner that day, Zhou Wei continued to live in the Xunfeng Palace. The two stayed there for two or three days before Zhou Wei got up and went back to the Zhongcui Palace. For so many days, she did not mention anything about the assassination, nor did the painting building. Said.

Although I don't say it, everything is going on slowly.
