Chapter Fourteen The Empress Dowager Wants to Leave the Palace
While he was sleeping, Long Chuxia hurriedly gave him acupuncture. After giving him the acupuncture, he still didn't wake up. Long Chuxia led Doudou out of Dongnuan Pavilion, let out a long breath, turned around and said to Tong Li who followed closely: "
After the emperor wakes up, remember to give him a cup of green tea, the light in the room should not be too strong, and let him rest as much as possible."
Li Tong said gratefully: "Miss Long, I didn't expect that your medical skills are so superb. In the past, when the emperor had a headache, he would not be able to sleep well for several days. Last night, the emperor slept for less than half an hour, so he was so temperamental.
He was a little irritable. Originally, our family was afraid that something would happen when he met the envoy. Now it seems that the emperor's condition is under control and he will definitely find a way to deal with the foreign envoy."
Long Chuxia frowned and said: "In addition to healing the body, this disease also requires healing the mind. He is under great pressure and nervous. He has a straight face all day long, as if someone owes him a hundred or eighty thousand. I suggest you find someone who is good at communication.
Talk to him more”
Li Tong smiled bitterly and said: "I am afraid that the only person who is good at communication is King Qingping. After all these years, he is the only one who can tell jokes in front of the emperor to make him happy."
"Then invite him into the palace!" Long Chuxia said as she walked.
"It's a pity that King Qingping is not in the capital now. He often travels around, so it is difficult to find him!"
Long Chuxia said lazily: "Then I don't know."
I was delayed for half an hour in Dongnuang Pavilion, and now I have to rush to Ningshou Palace without stopping.
When they arrived at Ningshou Palace, most of the concubines had left. Only the Queen, Concubine Hua, and Concubine Shu were still there. After Long Chuxia and Doudou came forward to greet them, they began to ask for the Empress Dowager's pulse.
The Queen Mother was very curious about Long Chuxia and asked: "Chuxia, where are you from?"
Long Chuxia said: "Chinese people!"
"Chinese?" the Queen Mother asked doubtfully, "Are you from Feng Kingdom?"
"It belongs to Feng Kingdom, but it is relatively remote. The Queen Mother must not know it!" Long Chuxia smiled and changed the subject, "The Queen Mother has a good body, but her bloodline is a little blocked. You must pay attention to your diet and don't eat too much greasy and fried food!
"
"The imperial doctors told the Ai family this. In fact, the Ai family have become vegetarians in recent years. How can they eat greasy food?" The Queen Mother frowned and said, "I just don't know why, but my body always feels tired and I don't want to move.
"
"This is a sub-health state, and many people will suffer from it!" Long Chuxia said with a smile, "As long as you exercise more, you will be fine."
"What is sub-health?" the queen asked curiously after hearing a new word.
"It can be said to be a disease, or it can be said not to be a disease. Life lies in exercise. As long as there is enough exercise, this sub-health state can disappear. Of course, if you cooperate with a good mood, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Long Chuxia put away her things and stood
He stood up and took two steps back and said
Concubine Hua sneered, "What's wrong with exercise? Didn't the Queen Mother say that she would feel tired after stretching her body? Wouldn't it be more serious if you asked her to do some exercise?"
"Have you ever heard of the imperial concubine, fighting fire with fire?" Long Chuxia knew that this metaphor was inappropriate, but this metaphor could express what she wanted to say more clearly, saving her from wasting her words.
The Queen Mother said: "I have heard of the Ai family using poison to fight poison, but the activities of the Ai family are nothing more than going out for a walk and admiring flowers, which is very boring!"
Concubine Shu smiled and suggested, "Avalokitesvara will be Nirvana in a few days, why not go to Xishan Guanyin Temple to offer incense!"
"It's a good suggestion, but I'm afraid that the emperor will block it. In recent years, he always said that there are chaos outside, and the Ai family is not allowed to go out!" The Queen Mother seemed to be very interested, but she lost interest when she thought that the emperor would definitely object.
Long Chuxia smiled slightly and said: "As long as you don't make a big fuss, who will know who you are?"
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, "Yes, isn't it enough for us to disguise ourselves and act like ordinary people?"
The queen smiled and said: "If the queen is interested, I am willing to accompany you!"
"My concubine is going too!"
"I am also willing to go!" Concubine Hua Guifei and Concubine Shu also said in succession.
The Queen Mother looked at Long Chuxia and said in a commanding tone: "Okay, Chuxia, you also go with the Ai family."
"Am I going too?" Long Chuxia was slightly startled. She could go out of the palace at any time. She just wanted to go out of the palace by herself. Bringing these old and weak women and children with her was not exciting at all, but the Queen Mother made it clear that she could not refuse.
, could only say: "I'm very happy!"
Concubine Hua was unhappy. She turned her face slightly to look at Long Chuxia, "You have been in the palace for so long, but you don't even understand the rules of the harem? How dare you call yourself "I" when talking to the Queen Mother? "If a person's appearance is
She is good-looking but vicious at heart. She will not be lovable no matter what. Long Chuxia cursed in her heart, "Will you die if you don't speak?"
"I acknowledge my guilt!" In fact, that was all she could say.
The Queen Mother was so happy that she ignored all the red tape and waved her hand and said: "No guilt, no guilt, just pay more attention next time. In fact, if it weren't for the rules in this palace, the Ai family would have wished that everyone would be more casual."
Long Chuxia faked a smile and looked at the queen. She was also looking at her with a meaningful smile in her eyes.
Long Chuxia was sure that there must be something hidden in the Queen's eyes, but she didn't want to explore it. In this harem, one more thing is worse than one less thing. If you want to live a good life, it is best to ignore it, ignore it, listen or not. ask
Coming out of Ningshou Palace, Doudou looked at Long Chuxia with admiration, "Sister Long, you are so awesome. I was so scared that I couldn't speak in front of the emperor and the queen mother. How dare you say so much to them?"
"
There was a faint smile on Long Chuxia's eyebrows, "Fool, they are human beings too, why are you afraid?"
"Why aren't you afraid? If you say even half of a sentence wrong, you will lose your head!"
Yes, they hold the power of life and death for other people, which of course makes people afraid. Just like the women of the Long family, they are in charge of the laws of the three realms. No matter good or evil gods or monsters, they will be respectful to them when they see them. In fact, they know that as long as they don't make mistakes,
So what if they are from the Long family? But it’s probably because they are timid mentally and can’t speak loudly anymore.
In fact, the human world and the three realms are the same. Long Chuxia sighed. He felt that this kind of life was more and more boring and boring, and he felt more disgusted with the palace. Maybe it was time to leave.
The 19th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is the day when Guanyin becomes a monk, commonly known as the Nirvana Day of Guanyin.
Every September 19th, a large number of believers in the capital will flock to the Guanyin Temple in Xishan to offer incense and pray for blessings. Among them are the families of princes, generals and ministers. There will be a sea of people and bustle. Small vendors near the capital will set up shop on Guanqian Street in front of the Guanyin Temple.
The items for sale are mostly knick-knacks and delicious snacks, and some of the goods that have been overstocked for a long time are being taken out for clearance and sale on this day.
