October is the season of chrysanthemum blooming. The royal garden is full of chrysanthemums of various colors, including purple, yellow, pink, yellow with red, red with purple, and the most rare one is ouch green.
Yuchen stood beside the chrysanthemum and was fascinated. After a while, Yuchen said to Shixiang, "go and bring me the drawing board." She didn't have an animation pen for a long time. It's rare that she got excited today, and several servant girls didn't stop her.
Put the drawing board in place, spread out the rice paper, and the pigments are all ready. After Yu Chen had brewed, he began to paint.
Yuchen has a habit that he doesn't like to be disturbed when he is playing the piano or painting, so all the servants retreat to the corner, only Shixiang helps to deliver things.
A gust of wind came, and the leaves on the nearby trees fell with the wind. A few leaves fell on rice paper, stained with the pigment on rice paper. If someone else, take the leaves away and repair them. But Yuchen can't tolerate a little flaw, when he is about to tear the rice paper.
Shixiang thought it was a pity, but she didn't dare to persuade her. You know, now the paintings of the empress outside have been sold for thousands of taels of silver, but there is still no market for them.
Seeing that Yuchen had cleaned up the drawing board, Shixiang asked: "lady, don't you draw any more?"
Yuchen put the brush aside and said, "no more painting." A good painting has been destroyed, and I'm not in the mood to paint any more.
On the way back, a woman in snow-green came over. See jade Chen, the woman blessing a record of ceremony, said: "have seen your concubine Niang Niang."
Li Xiuyuan is six years younger than Yuchen, but she looks gloomy and has no vitality.
Yuchen said with a smile, "Li Xiuyuan doesn't have to be polite." Li Xiuyuan is the biological mother of the seventh prince. However, the seventh Prince died of a disease the year before last. Since then, Li Xiuyuan has been chanting sutras and praying for her son, and has hardly come out on weekdays.
Li Xiuyuan avoids to one side after the ceremony and makes way for Yuchen.
Yuchen didn't hurry to go, but said with concern: "the weather will be fine in the future, you should come out and walk more. Don't stay in the house all the time. It's bad for your health. " There is no conflict of interest, Yuchen does not mind to release goodwill to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan respectfully said: "thank you for your concern." To Yu Chen, she doesn't want to be close.
Jade Chen see this also didn't say more: "that Li Xiuyuan you good good stroll, this palace still have something to go back first."
Li Xiuyuan was blessed with a gift: "congratulations to your mother."
Back in Zhanghua palace, Yu Chen sighed angrily. Seeing this, mother GUI asked, "what's the good sigh?"
Yuchen said: "just saw Li Xiuyuan, some feelings in my heart." Women in the harem will grow old quickly once they have no expectation.
For Yan unparalleled other women, mother GUI is very defensive, even if this Li Xiuyuan has been honest, she is not at ease. Therefore, she didn't want to talk about Li Xiuyuan more: "Niang Niang, the third prince has sent a letter. Just now the emperor sent someone to send it."
The attention of jade Chen was diverted for a moment, say: "take quickly come over!" Ah Chi's letters are very few, one a month.
Ah Chi only said in the letter that he was very good, let Yuchen don't worry, no more.
Yuchen put down the letter and said to himself, "the child doesn't know how to write more." Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, finally looking forward to this letter, and only a few words.
Granny GUI said with a smile, "next time, remind the third prince to write more about Tongcheng."
Jade Chen shakes head a way: "this kid disposition is the same as emperor." They are not very talkative people.
It's getting dark, the moon is hanging in the sky, and I don't see Yan unparalleled coming. After taking a bath, Yuchen sits on the dressing table and takes the Yumian peach blossom cream she made herself. I poured the peach blossom cream the size of soybean from the bottle and kneaded it on my hand. As soon as I was ready to apply it on my face, my hand stopped.
Yuchen said, "take that box of rose cream and throw away this box of flour cream." Finish saying, jade Chen wipe off the peach blossom cream on the hand with the handkerchief.
Shixiang was a little surprised and asked, "madam, is there anything wrong with this cream?"
Jade Chen shakes head a way: "have no problem, is taste not quite right." To these skin care products Yuchen to the point of nitpicking. As long as there is a little bit wrong, she will give up.
Shixiang didn't want to throw it away, but the box of flour paste Yuchen had given had not been used up, so he gave the box of flour paste to Shixue, who was friendly with her. As a result, there was an accident within two days.
Looking at the red rash on the face of Shi Xue, Yu Chen asked: "what's the matter? What unclean things did you use? "
"Slaves eat and use the same things as others, and use the same things as usual." Shi Xue gets up in the morning and frightens Shi Xiang, who lives with her. When she looked in the mirror and saw her face like this, she immediately fainted.
The doctor came quickly and gave Shi Xuexiang a diagnosis. He said the same thing as Yuchen: "girl, this is something that is not clean."
"You think carefully whether you have used something different from usual these two days," she said
Just want to say no, suddenly think of Yuchen's box of cream, Shi Xue immediately face again: "I use Rouge powder as usual, except cream." After a pause, Shixue shivered and said, "it's the cream that the empress doesn't use. Shixiang's elder sister is not willing to throw it away and leave it to me."
Jade Chen hit a cold Zhan, originally purpose is her. Fortunately, she is useless, otherwise it will be her disfigurement.
Mother GUI flashed a sharp look in her eyes and asked, "where is the cream?"
Shi Xiang and Shi Xue live in the same room. When he heard this, he quickly went to get the cream.
Mother GUI took the cream and immediately asked the doctor to check it.
Yuchen murmured to himself: "Yuxi, are you so cruel?" Except Yuxi, other people have no such means.
How important a woman's appearance is, and it's her face that makes her present position. If she is disfigured, even if the emperor will not abolish her for the sake of ah Bao and ah Chi, he will ignore her.
Looking at Yuchen's face, Granny GUI was startled. She helped her to sit on the chair and said, "lady, fortunately, I didn't use that cream." That's God's blessing.
Soon, Yuchen calmed down from his anger, frowned and said, "except for me, this jade face peach blossom cream has only touched Shixiang and Shixue." If Shixiang's hands and feet were made, she would not be stupid to leave them to Shixue.
Mother GUI said in a deep voice, "ordinary people can't get into the bedroom." Yuchen's food was very strict with mother GUI before, especially after she knew that Yuxi was critical to her.
Taiyi will be here soon.
Knowing the cause of the matter, Taiyi dare not take it lightly. I took the cream and began to check it carefully. But after checking for a long time, no problem was found.
But mother GUI didn't believe that the cream was OK: "Dr. Peng, please check it carefully again." Shixue's head oil, pollen, soap and other things were all taken from the palace. They had been used for more than half a month, and there was nothing wrong with them. They only applied this cream yesterday.
"There's nothing wrong with this box of cream," Peng said with certainty After a pause, Dr. Peng asked Yuchen: "Niang Niang, I don't know why you can't use this cream?"
Yuchen said: "I think the flavor of this paste is a little strong." Yan Wushuang doesn't like the strong fragrance, so the rouge made by Yuchen only has a little light fragrance.
Dr. Peng smelled it, but didn't feel it was very strong. Peng Taiyi weighed it in his heart, and then said, "Niang Niang, maybe this girl's physique is not suitable. Apply peach blossom ointment."
"Are you sure?" Yuchen asked
Dr. Peng is only sure of one thing, that is, there is no problem with this box of cream.
Mother GUI thought about it and found a little maid in waiting for her to apply the cream. As a result, half a day later, the little maid in waiting had nothing to do. To this meeting, everyone is sure that the cream is OK, but Shi Xue is allergic to it.
You can't leave people with bad appearance in the palace. After Shi Xue is allergic, she leaves scars and can only leave the palace.
Jade Chen says with GUI mammy: "will serve snow to arrange." Such as this kind of servant girl who has served her close to her master knows that there are too many things for her to do, so she usually won't let them out, and she must arrange them properly. If it is not used by people who want to, it may bring disaster.
There is no need for Yuchen to explain this. Mother GUI will handle it properly.
Yuchen leaned on the chair, touched the gold finger on the nail and said faintly: "I thought it was Yuxi's hand!"
At the beginning, mother GUI thought the same, but she didn't answer Yuchen's words: "Niang Niang, Han Yuxi doesn't have a good eye and can bribe the people who serve you closely."
"Now we can avoid it, but in the future?" Even if you go back to Liaodong, it's not safe.
At this point, Yuchen covered his chest and said: "Mammy, I regret it. If I don't start with Yun Qihao, for the sake of growing up together as a child, in the future, Yuxi may let me and ah Bao ah Chi go. " But her this hand, not only will the past friendship broken clean, also with Yuxi formed a grudge.
It's no use regretting what has been done. Mother GUI said: "madam, the emperor nearly killed Han Yuxi in that year. Later, he almost died in the hands of the emperor several times. Han Yuxi is determined not to let the emperor and the princesses go. "
Yuchen is silent.
What Yuxi said at the celebration banquet soon spread to the capital. When Yan Wushuang knew this, he looked ugly and said, "Han Yuxi is declaring war on me!" What's the next celebration banquet to be held in the Jinluan palace? This is clearly a provocation to him.
Meng Nian was silent and said, "emperor, we should block this news."
Yan matchless glanced at Meng Nian and said, "do you think we can block this news?" Although Falcon didn't make any big moves during this period of time, small moves kept on. How could he not spread such news.
Meng Nian was a little bit subdued and said, "emperor, you can't always go on like this. It's too passive." It felt like they were led by the nose by Han Yuxi.
After a pause, Meng Nian said, "emperor, the assassination plan we have drawn up can be implemented now." Last time, because of the martial law in Ho City, he died halfway.
Yan matchless thought, nodded and agreed: "yes." He has a bad year, and he doesn't want Han Yuxi and Yun Qing to have a good year.
As Yan Wushuang expected, the Falcon spread Yuxi's words at the celebration banquet. Moreover, it adds fuel to the story that Yuxi and Yunqing are going to attack the capital next year.
In the past, the imperial court made a lot of propaganda about how the northwest army was cruel and brutal, which made the people fear and hate them. Now when the Falcon released the news, the people who were already uneasy were even more frightened. Within two days, there were many smashing and looting incidents in the capital. The imperial army went out and killed the troublemakers. But after killing one crop, another crop comes out. Even if we patrol twelve hours a day, similar things still happen in some remote places. It's the same inside the city, not to mention outside.
When Yan Wushuang heard that the refugees had killed two officers and soldiers, he immediately gave an order to tie Kui. Beheading those refugees who killed officers and soldiers. In addition, those who dare to make trouble will be killed without mercy. Under this kind of iron hand, the refugees outside the city have settled down temporarily.
Tie Kui dragged his tired body back to the house, leaning on the chair and didn't want to move.
Zhong Shantong was a little impatient and said, "master, go to bed and have a sleep!"
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I'll go to the palace later and tell Yan Wushuang about the situation outside the city." Thinking of the refugees outside the city, tie Kui is worried.
Zhong Shantong asked: "master, isn't it stable outside the city?" At that time, he was very worried about the accident, but it was solved soon.
Tie Kui said with a worried face: "the present security is only superficial. Now it's October, and the weather is getting colder. If the refugees outside the city are not properly settled, there will certainly be more riots. "
Zhong Shantong said: "Sir, there are more than 60000 refugees outside the city. Can the court settle them?" There were more than 100000 refugees outside the city, but some of them were resettled by the government to other places. But even if there are only more than 60000 people, it is not easy to ensure that they can survive this winter.
Tie Kui was in a bad mood when he thought of this: "the Treasury has no money, and it is impossible to properly settle these refugees. When there will be a riot, I will be asked to put an end to the rebellion." To kill these unarmed vagrants, the name of the executioner on their back comes second, mainly because they have a hard conscience.
Zhong Shantong hesitated and said, "master, why don't you pretend to be ill then?" Yan Wushuang now treats his master as a sword.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "once it's torn down, it will arouse Yan Wushuang's suspicion. Now I just hope that the king of Ming will lead the soldiers to fight quickly." It's harder than ever.
Zhong Shantong said: "the princess of the Ming Dynasty has the spare power to help the victims in Hebei. The situation there must be much better than that of the imperial court."
Tie Kui said: "Yuxi's situation is definitely better than this one. It's just that we have just sent troops to the north this year. Next year we will definitely not send troops to attack the capital. "
Zhong Shan said: "then we have to endure for two years." In two years, they can still survive.
Tie Kui said wearily: "yes!" Unfortunately, these two years have been extremely difficult.
Zhong Shan thought about it and said, "master, there are rebellions in Hebei, Shandong and other places now. If you don't ask for your order to fight the rebellion, maybe Yan Wushuang will agree."
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "he won't agree." Moreover, tie Kui felt that killing the rebels was no different from killing the refugees. In fact, the local rebels were the common people who raised their banners against the imperial court because they could not survive.
