188 incense
"Why is Xianfei so kind today that she came to tell me about this?" Although Zhou Shuxian is angry with the change of the Empress Dowager's attitude, she is not a fool. What's more, she has kept a low profile these days. In the Chaofeng Hall, she is almost at the door and is particularly friendly to all the women in the harem. Naturally, she has long let go of that arrogant idea and will not easily fall into Lin Su's trick.
Lin Su naturally did not expect this sentence to make Zhou Shuxian lose her mind, but just wanted Zhou Shuxian to feel uncomfortable and calm down.
Therefore, she covered her lips with a smile and whispered, "The Empress has thought too much. I just mentioned it a little. Speaking of which, Zhou Meiren is still the mother's cousin. Now the empress dowager values her and the blue concubine, and she is also happy for them.
The smile on Zhou Shuxian's face stiffened, and then she laughed, "That's natural. As the Empress Dowager said, we are just imperial women in the harem. It is naturally a good thing that the sisters can spread their branches and leaves for the emperor.
She said with a trace of fatigue, "I'm tired. If there is nothing else for several sisters, let's break up today."
Lin Su immediately got up and looked at Zhou Shuxian with a smile, "The minister and concubine will not disturb the queen's rest and come back tomorrow to say good morning."
For several days, Lin Suri went to comfort Zhou Shuxian after leaving the empress dowager, which made Zhou Shuxian puzzled and made the empress dowager and Lan Xin a little strange.
"Lin Su doesn't feel comfortable taking care of the two little things in her palace. Why do you run to the Feng Hall every day?" The Empress Dowager helped Lan Xin walk around in the harem. Seeing that there was no one else around, she turned her head and looked at Lan Xin, "Do you know one or two from other people?"
"The first people who followed her to the Chaofeng Hall were just Wang Liulian and Zhao Yuexin. Now, even Zhou Meiren began to follow them. However, Zhou Meiren seems to have some misunderstanding about me and doesn't want to talk to me. As for Wang Liulian, she is too depressed to see anything. Lan Xin spoke in an orderly manner and seemed to have taken this matter to heart for a long time. Now he has heard the Empress Dowager's question and speaks slowly.
"As for Zhao Yuexin, she is a careful person who speaks without leaving any trace. Only then did her niece find that there was no worry-free person in the harem.
"If it's worry-free, there is no need to let you enter the palace." The Empress Dowager sighed, "It's about to enter July. If today's government is stable, I'm afraid that those princes and ministers can't help but prepare to present beautiful women to the emperor. Do you know it?"
"My niece understands that such a thing is inevitable. Just like the women who entered the palace with me, there were five people who were canonized at the beginning, but now there are only four people left. Lan Xin smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I'm afraid that my niece will have more sisters and fewer sisters at this time next year."
The Empress Dowager nodded, held Lan Xin's hand and sat down on the stone chair in the shade of the tree. She looked back at the old lady beside her and asked her to bring a pot of tea. Then she motioned Lan Xin to sit beside her and whispered, "Our Lan family, now in your generation, you are the only daughter. However, your brothers are disappointing..."
She shook her head helplessly, "If not, your father would not be willing to let you come to the palace." Gently patted Lan Xin's hand, and her eyes fell on Lan Xin's abdomen and whispered, "If you give birth to a man and half a woman for the emperor as soon as possible, I will be relieved. In this harem, there is definitely no calmness than you, and there is a city. And if you have a city government, the emperor may not like it. Xiner, Lin Su is the only one who can really be called your enemy in this harem.
Lan Xin lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
The Empress Dowager sighed, "Don't underestimate her, thinking that her daily and kind appearance is just a careless middle and upper appearance. You know, she is the only one who is pregnant with the blood of the emperor in this harem and can give birth smoothly and survive.
Lan Xin was stunned. He looked up at the empress dowager and said seriously, "My niece understands. Thank you for your suggestion."
"You are my own niece. This harem used to be in charge of me. I hope you will be in charge one day." The Empress Dowager said meaningfully, "Although the harem cannot be in politics, one day you will understand how important it is to take charge of the harem to political affairs."
"My niece doesn't understand very well," Lan Xin said doubtfully, "However, my niece will definitely learn from her aunt."
While the Empress Dowager and Lan Xin were chatting in the garden, Lin Su also got the news. Hearing that Lan Xin's face had recovered as usual, she took a look at Xia Yan beside her and whispered, "The second step can start now."
Xia Yan's eyes lit up when she heard the words, immediately nodded and hurried away.
When greeting the empress dowager the next day, Lin Su saw that her blue heart was distracted, and there was a trace of iron blue on her face, and the faint swelling under her eyes made people know clearly that she did not have a good rest the night before.
Lin Su pretended to care for a few words, and then got up and left the Chaofeng Hall with the women. Lan Xin followed out of the Empress Dowager's palace. He wanted to follow him to the Chaofeng Hall together, but he was a little powerless. In the end, he could only help Xiangli around him to keep up.
When Lin Su saw that she was going to be together, she immediately slowed down and waited for her to catch up. Then she walked forward side by side with her and introduced several calming fragrances to Lan Xin so that she could sleep peacefully at night.
She knew that Lan Xin would naturally not believe her, and it was precisely because of this that what Lin Su introduced was all good things.
Lan Xin responded unintentionally and followed the women to the Chaofeng Hall to say good morning to Zhou Shuxian, but he didn't find any mystery in it at all. Zhou Shuxian seemed to be very concerned about everyone and vaguely told them that they would serve the emperor well, but there was no indication.
With a confused water, Lan Xin, who made a fuss in the middle of the night, decided to lie down and have a rest first. As a result, as soon as she lay down, she suddenly remembered what Lin Su said about the calming incense, so she called Xiang Li in and ordered her to go to the imperial hospital to ask.
After sleeping for a while, Lan Xin woke up from his dream again. Xiangxing, who was guarding outside, heard her cry and hurried in to serve. Lan Xin got up and gasped for a long time before he felt dry. "Pring me some herbal tea."
Xiang Xing immediately got up and poured a cup of herbal tea and sent it over. Seeing that Lan Xin drank it, he threw a handkerchief, wiped Lan Xin's sweat and whispered, "Master, Xiangli has come back from the imperial hospital and brought some incense specially used to calm the mind. Is it in the room now?"
