Chapter 269
As the days passed, it had been half a month since Ling Jingshu entered the palace
During this half month, Ling Jingshu behaved moderately well, going with Ruilian and a few female officials every morning to greet Empress Xu and report what she had to do during the day
The rest of the time, she either stayed in the Peony Garden or wandered around the Pepper Room Hall where the potted plants were placed
Yuanyan waited for some days, but did not wait for Ling Jingshu to come and beg for someone, and when she heard that Ling Jingshu wanted to personally take care of the new peonies in the peony room, she could not help but secretly sneer in her heart
She really loves to show off!
Those new peonies were all carefully cultivated, and each pot was more delicate and difficult to serve
Ling Jingshu dared to take over and take care of them herself without saying a word
Let’s see how she’s going to answer to the Empress when the flowers are in bloom in April!
Rui Lian and the others all knew in their hearts that Falling Wild Goose was secretly making things difficult for Ling Jingshu
They were also waiting to see what would happen in private
It was a pity that Ling Jingshu had been so secretive
All of them were united in their secret expectations
This lively, it seems to have to board more than two months!
On this day, after all the female officials returned to the matter, Empress Xu purposely left Rui Lian behindRui Lian, how is Ling Jingshu’s performance these days?”
Empress Xu faintly asked
Rui Lian respectfully answered in a low voice, “Back to Empress Xu, the slave girl has been secretly ordering people to keep an eye on her every move
Since she entered the palace, she has spoken and acted carefully, not leaving any loose ends
Falling geese secretly make things difficult for her, deliberately detained the two palace maids who take care of the peony room, she didn’t say anything and personally took over the peony room herself
She personally took over the peony room, loosened the soil every day, moved the flower pots into the sunlight, and then moved them back in the evening
On top of that, she would go around once a day
In this half a month, there has never been a mistake!”Oh?”
Empress Xu’s eyes flickered, pulling her lips with a smile or not, “According to you, she is dedicated and responsible in her duties”
Rui Lian while secretly trying to figure out Empress Xu’s mind, while responding, “Other slave maids dare not say, this point is certain”
Empress Xu’s right hand gently stroked the emerald jade bracelet on her left wrist, her expression was uncertain, and it was only after a long time that she slowly asked, “Can she have looked for several of you in private?”
Rui Lian understood the meaning of Empress Xu’s words, busy respectfully replied, “She often comes to find slave girl to talk, also sent slave girl some small gifts
However, there are no valuable objects
As for Qiu Frost and the others, they are probably about the same”
If Ling Jingshu was too generous, and privately befriended and drew in any of the female officials, it would be obvious that she had bad intentions
Now, this is just a normal interaction in the palace, and there is really nothing wrong with it
Empress Xu hmmm: “The Palace knows
Let people continue to keep an eye on her, what changes, immediately to the palace to report back”
The road is far from knowing the horse power and the day is long to see people’s hearts!
A moment’s performance was nothing
Ling Jingshu was very smart, knew how to bide her time, spoke and acted very cautiously, and did not publicize herself
However, if a person is good at pretending, after a long time, it will reveal traces
Rui Lian didn’t dare to be negligent and busily answered
Empress Xu stood up, “It’s getting late, follow this palace to the Purple Palace”
His Majesty has been lying on the bed and drinking medicine to recuperate since the first day of the Lunar New Year, and over the course of a month, he has finally slowly gotten better
His appetite was better than before, and he could barely get out of bed and walk around for a while every day
Because the condition is getting better, the emperor refused to let the king of Yan and the royal grandson to serve the disease, ordered them to busy themselves with their own business
Daily to serve the disease are concubines in the palace
Empress Xu to the Purple Palace, the Emperor is Wei Jieyu and Princess An Ya’s support walking slowly
I don’t know what Princess An Ya said, amusing the Emperor’s dragon heart, and Wei Jieyu looked at each other and smiled
An age, but also come to the eyebrow to eye love this set, also do not mind meat numb shabby!
Empress Xu snorted coldly in her heart
A few years ago, when she saw this scene, she would have to secretly knock Wei Jieyu a few times
However, now that the Emperor was already old, the occasional concubines were all young
She and the Emperor hadn’t slept together for a few years, so she was too lazy to bother with that
As soon as Wei Jieyu raised her eyes and saw Empress Xu, she was busy loosening her hands and saluting, “My humble servant has met Empress Dowager”
Empress Xu smiled pleasantly, “Be quick and free yourself”
While naturally walking forward, took over Wei Jieyu’s original position: “His Majesty’s dragon body is at peace, already able to get out of bed and walk around, I look at the heart is really happy”
The emperor walked for a while, forehead slightly sweating, hands and feet also feel sore and weak
Wanting to hold on hard but also have no strength, he smiled self-deprecatingly, “I am already tired, I can’t walk anymore”
Empress Xu immediately helped the Emperor to sit on the dragon collapse, then ordered, “Come on, go and announce Eunuch Wei to come”
Soon, Wei Yan came
For the past month, Wei Yan had been living in the Purple Palace, making it convenient to summon him for a consultation at any time
Wei Yan stepped forward to see the Emperor, Empress Xu stood beside the Emperor, her gaze naturally falling on Wei Yan’s face
After staying up for so many days, his face had lost a circle of weight, and there was a gaunt dark shadow below his eyes
However, he was still very pleasant to look at
From the once youthful and tender, to the current handsome and elegant
This handsome face, she looked for more than ten years
The more he rejected and resisted to avoid, the more she remembered in her heart and refused to let go!
Unfortunately, the emperor this old thing, hard to rely on refused to ascend to heaven
She did not dare to be too reckless in the palace, and could only watch Wei Yan hanging around in front of her eyes unharmed
Wei Yan noticed Empress Xu’s line of sight and remained motionless
After diagnosing the Emperor, Wei Yan softly said: ”The Emperor’s dragon body is getting better day by day, which is good to see
The microcosmic minister will now apply the needle for the Emperor again!”
The Emperor gave a hmmm
When the needles were being administered, everyone had to shun
Even Empress Xu had to temporarily avoid the outside of her chambers
After half an hour, Wei Yan retreated from the bedchamber
Empress Xu looked deeply at Wei Yan and said with a smile, “Imperial Doctor Wei has really worked hard these days, this palace will definitely reward him heavily!”Many thanks, Empress!”
Wei Yan respectfully thanked her
Empress Xu added, “These days, you’ve been so busy attending to the Emperor that you had no time to ask for a peaceful pulse for this Palace
It’s not your fault
Now that the Emperor’s illness has improved, you should have time
Go to the Pepper Room Hall tomorrow to check the pulse of this palace!”
Wei Yan still respectfully answered
No trace of reluctance could be seen on his bland face
Empress Xu glanced at Wei Yan and went back into the bedchamber
Wei Jieyu walked to Wei Yan’s side, her footsteps lurched, and she said in a low voice, “There’s nothing more to do here, so go back and rest first
Look at you, you’ve lost a lot of weight these days
Don’t overwork yourself and lose your body”
The tone was full of mindfulness
Wei Yan’s heart warmed and quickly nodded
