Loyang Jin

Days passed by and it had been half a month since Ling Jingshu entered the palace.

In the past half month, Ling Jingshu behaved quite well. Every morning, she and Ruilian and several other female officials went to greet Empress Xu and report what they had to do during the day. The rest of the time, he either stayed in the peony garden or wandered around the place where the potted plants were placed in Jiaofang Hall.

Luoyan waited for a long time, but did not wait for Ling Jingshu to come to beg for help. When he heard that Ling Jingshu wanted to personally take care of the new peonies in the peony room, he couldn't help but sneer secretly.

What a show off!

Those new peonies are carefully cultivated, and each pot is more delicate and difficult to maintain. Ling Jingshu dared to take over and take care of it without saying a word.

When the flowering period comes in April, let’s see how she will show off to the Queen!

Ruilian and others all knew that Luoyan secretly made things difficult for Ling Jingshu. Also waiting in private to watch the excitement. It's a pity that Ling Jingshu has been hiding it.

Everyone is secretly looking forward to it together.

It seems that this excitement will take more than two months to arrive!

On this day, after the female officials reported the matter, Queen Xu deliberately left Ruilian behind.

"Ruilian, how has Ling Jingshu been doing these days?" Queen Xu asked calmly.

Ruilian respectfully whispered: "Replying to the queen, I have been secretly ordering people to keep an eye on her every move. Since she entered the palace, she has been careful in her words and deeds, leaving no trace behind. Luoyan secretly made things difficult for her and deliberately made things difficult for her. The two palace maids who were taking care of the peony room took it over without saying a word. She loosened the soil and took care of it every day, moved the flower pots to the sun, and moved them back in the evening. ”

"Oh?" Queen Xu's eyes flashed, and she twitched the corners of her lips with a half-smile: "From what you said, she is very conscientious and responsible in her duties."

While secretly trying to figure out Queen Xu's thoughts, Ruilian responded: "Other slaves don't dare to say, this is for sure."

Empress Xu gently touched the jade bracelet on her left wrist with her right hand, her expression unclear, and she asked slowly after a long while: "How many of you have she visited in private?"

Ruilian understood the meaning of Queen Xu's words and hurriedly replied respectfully: "She often comes to talk to the slave and has also given the slave some small gifts. However, there are no valuable items. As for Qiu Shuang and the others, Probably more or less."

If Ling Jingshu was too generous and befriended any female official in private, it would be obvious that she had ulterior motives and bad intentions. The current situation is just a normal exchange in the palace, and there is really nothing wrong with it.

Queen Xu hummed: "I understand. Let people continue to stare at her. If there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately."

The road is far away and the horse power is known by the people.

Momentary performance is nothing. Ling Jingshu is very smart and knows how to keep a low profile and is very cautious in her words and actions without being ostentatious. However, no matter how good a person is at pretending, clues will be revealed over time.

Ruilian didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly responded.

Queen Xu stood up and said, "It's getting late. Come with me to the Zichen Palace."

…

The emperor had been lying on the bed, drinking medicine and recuperating since the first day of the new year. After a month, he finally started to improve. My appetite is better than before, and I can barely get out of bed and walk around for a while every day.

Because the condition was getting better day by day, the emperor refused to let King Yan and the emperor's grandson wait for the disease anymore, and ordered them to go about their own business. The concubines in the palace are the ones who come to see the sick every day.

When Queen Xu arrived at the Zichen Palace, the emperor was walking slowly with the support of Wei Jieyu and Princess Anya.

I don’t know what Princess Anya said, which made Emperor Longxin happy, and he and Wei Jieyu looked at each other and smiled.

Even at this age, it’s not too cheesy to still flirt with each other and show affection!

Queen Xu snorted in her heart.

A few years ago, when she saw this scene, she would have to give Wei Jieyu a few words in secret. However, now that the emperor is very old, the only concubines he occasionally summons are young concubines. She and the emperor hadn't slept together for several years, and she didn't bother to worry about it anymore.

When Wei Jieyu raised her eyes and saw Queen Xu, she quickly let go of her hands and saluted: "I have met the Queen."

Empress Xu smiled pleasantly and said, "Hurry up and forgive me."

On the other hand, he walked forward naturally and took over Wei Jieyu's original position: "Your Majesty, Da'an, is now able to get out of bed and move around. I am really happy to see you."

The emperor walked for a while, sweating slightly on his forehead, and his hands and feet felt sore and weak. He didn't have the strength to hold on, so he smiled to himself: "I'm exhausted and can't walk anymore."

Empress Xu immediately helped the emperor sit on the dragon's roof, and then ordered: "Come, go and announce that the imperial doctor will come."

Soon, Wei Yan arrived.

In the past month, Wei Yan has been living in Zichen Hall so that he can be summoned for medical treatment at any time.

Wei Yan stepped forward to see the emperor. Empress Xu stood beside the emperor, her eyes naturally falling on Wei Yan's face.

After staying up for so many days, his face had become thinner, and there were haggard dark shadows under his eyes. But it still looks very pleasing to the eye.

From being young and immature in the past, to being handsome and elegant now. She had seen this handsome face for more than ten years.

The more he resisted, resisted and avoided, the more she thought about him and refused to let him go!

It's a pity that the emperor, this old man, just refuses to ascend to heaven. She didn't dare to be too presumptuous in the palace, and could only watch Wei Yan wandering around in front of her safely and unharmed...

Wei Yan noticed Queen Xu's gaze and remained calm.

After seeing the emperor, Wei Yan said softly: "The emperor's dragon body is getting better day by day, which is gratifying. I will give the emperor acupuncture now!"

The emperor hummed.

…

When acupuncture is being administered, everyone must stay away. Even Queen Xu had to temporarily stay out of the palace.

After half an hour, Wei Yan retreated from the palace.

Empress Xu took a deep look at Wei Yan and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei has worked really hard these days, and I will definitely be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Queen!" Wei Yan thanked him respectfully.

Empress Xu added: "These days, you have been busy seeing the emperor and have no time to ask for peace of mind for me. I can't blame you. Now that the emperor's condition has improved, you should have time. Go to the pepper room tomorrow. Please check my pulse!"

Wei Yan still responded respectfully.

There was no trace of reluctance on his indifferent face.

Queen Xu glanced at Wei Yan and entered the palace again.

Wei Jieyu walked to Wei Yan, paused, and whispered: "There's nothing going on here. You go back and rest first. Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight these days. Don't overwork yourself and ruin your body." ”

The tone is full of mentality.

Wei Yan felt warm in his heart and nodded quickly.
