Chapter 140 Rolling Curtain 3

After that, for a month, Li Shimin occasionally played chess or sat casually in various palaces during the day. At night, he removed all the concubines and sat on the dragon chair to read and write down the national policy. The harem is talking about this, and it is not clear what he intends to do.

On this day, after my concubines and I asked Empress Changsun for blessings, Empress Changsun left me alone. Her face was not good, even a little white, and her eyebrows frowned from beginning to end. My heart sank. I'm afraid that Li Shimin's recent behavior is annoying to her, and now he will leave me behind to discuss this matter with me.

The Empress Changsun sighed gently, but asked me, "The emperor said he would go to Luoyang with Concubine De. What did Concubine De think?" I'm a little surprised that I didn't want her to ask me that. As soon as she pondered and was about to speak, Empress Changsun said, "You mentioned this to the emperor, didn't you?"

She stared at me, and I couldn't help lowering my eyes and didn't know what to say. She sighed for a long time and was a little hurt: "Recently, the emperor has been extremely diligent in handling state affairs. After the day, the concubine who retired from the bed in the evening and lit the lights in the Dragon Hall alone until midnight to study national conditions and write national policies.

I answered, "It's really hard for the emperor to take care of thousands of machines every day."

Queen Changsun continued: "It has been less than a year since the emperor ascended the throne. Many state affairs have to be sorted out and many ministers have to be subdued. There is really no time to leave many government affairs. Therefore, the emperor had to deal with all these pressing things before he could get this gap. Let alone whether it is sloppy or not, the emperor's dragon body is also tired and can't stand such a toss day and night!" Empress Changsun called out and said in a low tone, "The palace is your home, the place where you stay all your life. You always think about what it's like outside!"

I bowed my head and said, "Yes, my concubine knew it was wrong. I won't let the emperor leave the palace.

The Empress Changsun became more and more cold and said, "It's not up to you and me to decide whether the emperor will leave the palace or not. What I mean is that I don't want the emperor to put down his business for the sake of his children's private affairs!"

I nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Empress Changsun responded slightly and got up and left the hall. I sent him away, silent in my heart, and I felt in a trance all the way back to Deqing Palace. Empress Changsun is worried and blamed. Li Shimin is now the king of a country. How can he hurriedly deal with state affairs for me? This may not only cause negligence in affairs, but also be bad for his health every day and night. I'm so selfish that I just think about how uncomfortable I feel and forget that he is the more difficult person to choose.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin came to my hall, sat on the upper position, stroked his robe, held a cup of warm tea and smiled, "When the spring comes in March, I will take you to Luoyang for a walk. I heard from the people at the other end of the Tiance Mansion that as soon as spring comes, Luoyang City is waiting for flowers to bloom. Although it is not as lively as the flowers competing for beauty, it is unique and elegant. I think you like it."

I stood in front of him and was slightly stunned, and then my eyes moved slowly and said gently, "In March, the back garden is also full of flowers. If you want to enjoy flowers, you can also do it in the palace.

Listening to my words, Li Shimin smiled and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" He suddenly thought of a stunned and sharp light in his eyes, "Did the queen say something to you?"

I was silent for a moment. He had thought that I would only add gray when I argued. So, I smiled and said, "The queen loves the emperor and worries about the Tang Dynasty. The concubine felt that the queen was right, so the concubine was no longer wayward and nonsense. The palace is the emperor's home and the concubine's home. There is no reason not to stay at home and always run out.

Li Shimin looked into my eyes as if he were exploring the bottom of his heart. For a moment, he shook his head: "But your eyes tell me that this is not true."

My heart was soft, and I smiled at him: "Actually, what you just said moved me so much. But I really figured it out. I can't selfishly occupy you. You are from the world, and the prosperity of the world is in your hands, and I don't want to see you tired of writing state affairs all night.

Li Shimin was stunned, reached out and pulled me in his arms, and said unhappily, "Isn't it... are you afraid that I'm too tired to be worthy of your young and beautiful face?"

"What are you talking about!" I pushed his shoulder with a smile, "Anyway, you are too tired to concentrate on governing state affairs."

Li Shimin thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay. However, I still have to go out of the palace." I just relaxed my eyebrows and looked at him doubtfully. He gently stroked my eyebrows and said, "Didn't I promise Youer to shoot when he recovers?" A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"

Li You is still young, so he hasn't been able to go out of the palace to shoot with Li Shimin like his brothers. This time, Li Shimin promised to take him with him, and my heart was also carried away. I asked, "How many days is this trip?"

"Go to Lishan and come back in three days." Seeing that I frowned when I heard the word "three days", Li Shimin couldn't help smiling and hugged me, "Don't worry, I will send more people to follow You'er. I can wait for him to shoot me the silver velvet fox!"

"Then you all need to be careful." I smiled lightly and couldn't help lowering my eyebrows. Usually, I discipline Li You more freely, but I don't want him to be too prominent. I don't want him to have the atmosphere of a silver velvet fox at a young age. To say it's better, it's more progressive, and it's ambitious.

On the third day of the journey, Li Shimin finally had a rest time, but there was no delay in state affairs. As a result, the disturbances in the harem have returned to their usual calm, but they can still feel the undercurrent. After all, people's mouths can't control it. One day, I was resting in the pavilion in the back garden and heard two maids talking quietly from outside the wall:

"I heard that Tang Lige seems to have been infected with a plague, and he fell ill together with Zhou Cairen, and the major imperial doctors of the Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau went to check the disease."

"It seems to be quite serious. It's a pity that I just entered the palace this week and became a talented person soon. Now I'm getting such a disease again.

"I'm afraid it was done by the people above. Last month, someone saw Empress Defei arguing with Wei Zhaorong and Zhou Cairen. You should know that Empress Defei is now in a high position and powerful, and she has broken off their sisterhood with Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan, not to mention Zhou Cairen.

When I heard this, Qing'er around me couldn't stand. I stopped her from listening:

"The Empress Defei has always been the emperor's favorite, but since Zhou Cairen, the emperor often called Zhou Cairen to play chess, and the number of times he went to the Deqing Palace has been less. So I guessed that the Empress Defei was jealous.

"I'm afraid. With the emperor's love for the German concubine, even the queen dares not go too hard on her. This week, she is also asking for trouble!"

The maid of honor has gone far away, and Qing'er looked angry and stamped a few feet angrily. I smiled and patted her on the shoulder and said, "You should be happy for me, shouldn't you?" Qinger suppressed her anger and said, "Although that was the purpose of the mother, the mother didn't do anything about Zhou Cairen's illness!" I nodded and turned out: "Yes, so I have to go to Tangli Pavilion to see why Zhou Cairen is sick." Qinger opened her hand to stop me in shock: "Mother, the two maids of honor said it was a plague!" I sighed and said, "If it had been a plague, the Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau would have found out to have blocked Tangli Pavilion long ago, and there was no movement at this time."

Qing'er couldn't, so she had to follow me. When I came to Tangli Pavilion, I saw that the medical doctor Nian'er was also among them. I asked her, "How's it going?"

Before everyone, Nian'er saluted me and said, "My mother, not only Zhou Cairen has a stuffy chest and a trance, but also the whole hall is like this. The specific reason has not been investigated. It may be food poisoning or a sign of pre-plague disease.

I nodded slightly and explored the hall. There are also two imperial doctors standing in the hall, asking the sick maids of honor in the hall about the specific situation. I stepped forward, but Nian'er stopped me and said that the reason had not been found out, and she was afraid that it would be inadvertently infected with me. Otherwise, I smiled and said, "If I avoid Zhou Cairen at this time, wouldn't it make her feel cold to my Tang Palace?" As a German concubine, it is also right to take a look at her. If you stop me again, it will be disrespectful.

Nian'er sighed secretly and led me into the hall.

Entering the hall, a strong fragrance came from my nose. I thought about what the smell was so mixed. Looking around, I saw two pots of restraining grass on the hall. At that time, Song Yi reminded me to take the grass to relieve fatigue and sleep, and said that the grass should not be put too close for too long, because its fragrance was too strong. The restraining grass in Zhou Cairen Hall was placed not far from the couch, and two pots were placed in a row. I asked the maid standing sick in the hall when the grass was placed. The maid said it was a month ago. I sighed gently. This week, people should have been furious when they saw Weinizi fall on my weeds, which made me furious. They thought it was the emperor's favorite flower and plant, so they also learned to put two pots.

But what seems to be covered in the hall is not just a smell of grass. I continued to look in the temple. The window was full of light fragrant plants, which could not cause such a mixed smell. At this time, I remembered that I saw a few pots of Nantian bamboo outside the hall when I just came in. Nantianzhu itself has a deep fragrance, and this fragrance floats into the hall along the wind outside the hall, which is very easy to mix with the fragrance of the grass in the hall.

I asked, "What will happen if the smell of curbing grass and Nantianzhu is mixed?"

Tian Shiyu said, "The grass and Nantian bamboo are both plants with strong fragrance. The smell of grass and southern bamboo flowers floating in the air can calm people, eliminate fatigue and promote sleep. If the two are mixed together and stay in the hall for a long time... it is very likely to cause nervous fatigue, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Tian Shi's doctor said slowly and suddenly shocked the people behind him, "Quickly, take a closer look at their pulses!"

After a while, the three waitresses discussed with each other, and Tian waitresses worshipped me excitedly: "The Empress Defei is intelligent and wise, and I really admire her!"

I hurriedly asked him to get up and said with a smile, "It's just a little detailed observation. Didn't I ask the imperial doctor Tian? This diagnosis has to be done by the doctors."
