Last night, after Lady Rou accompanied Zhao Yuancheng to leave Yongfu Palace, she went to Zichen Palace to serve him in bed.
The next day, after serving the emperor in court, she heard Lu Zhu talk about the incident where the imperial physician Xun left and Yongfu Palace summoned the imperial physician again.
The beauty felt sympathetic: "What's wrong? Is the Imperial Concubine not good?"
"I couldn't find out anything from anyone in Yongfu Palace. I only know that the Imperial Concubine stayed with me until late at night."
The gentle lady nodded, "In that case, I should go and visit."
She first returned to Yan Xuetang to change her clothes, and then Rou Meiren took the food and headed towards Yongfu Palace.
At that time, the imperial concubine had already woken up, but her face was still a little pale. Hui Meiren was worried and stayed by her bedside early in the morning.
Talking about what happened last night, the Imperial Noble Consort was terrified, but when she heard that Fu Qianyu stayed until late at night, she couldn't help but feel touched.
"I was so blinded by greed that I treated her like that. Fortunately, she is not a vindictive person."
Lady Hui smiled as she held the pregnancy-protecting medicine in her hand. "That's right. There are too few sincere sisters in the palace. The Imperial Concubine is also a person of temperament."
As she spoke, the palace maid came in and reported that the beautiful lady Rou had arrived.
The imperial concubine was in low spirits and didn't want to see him, but she thought that he had come to visit her in the snow and had good intentions, so she ordered someone to invite her in.
The cotton curtain of the melon family was lifted, and the beautiful person came in with a fragrant breeze.
She was wearing a brocade jacket with a pattern of butterflies and flowers, and the fur on the collar made her look even more charming. Although she was born a dancer, she had really developed the demeanor of a noble after being favored by the emperor for these days.
When Lady Hui saw her come in, she quickly put down the medicine bowl, stood up and bowed.
The beautiful lady bowed to the Imperial Concubine, "Greetings to the Queen, and to Sister Hui."
"Get up." The Imperial Concubine waved her hand, signaling Shu Qing to bring a chair, "Sit down."
"yes."
Rou Meiren was helped to sit down. Seeing that the Imperial Concubine looked unwell, she asked worriedly, "Are you feeling better, Your Majesty?"
The Imperial Concubine raised her hand to gather the loose hair on her temples and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I am fine and feel much better now."
Hearing this, Rou Meiren breathed a sigh of relief and told Zhao Yuancheng what he had said to her last night, "Your Majesty, you don't know. The Emperor was extremely anxious last night. Even after returning to Zichen Palace, he ordered people to keep an eye on Yongfu Palace. This morning, he sent Eunuch Zhu Yu to inquire about your situation. He was relieved to learn that you were safe."
Listening to Rou Meiren slowly talking about Zhao Yuancheng's concern for her, a gentle smile gradually appeared on the Imperial Concubine's face, and she became more and more intimate with Rou Meiren: "You just served the emperor last night, you should rest well today."
The beautiful lady smiled and said, "I am worried about your Majesty's health, and I have to see her first before I can feel at ease."
The three chatted and laughed, but Hui Meiren's eyes were attracted by Rou Meiren's clothes: "Sister, this dress is so exquisite, it doesn't look like it was made by the Shangfu Bureau."
Lu Zhu smiled and replied, "My lady, you may not know this, but the clothes we are wearing are all made by us. A few days ago, we went to pay our respects to the Queen Mother, and she praised our lady's craftsmanship."
"Indeed, the lotus pattern is so lifelike that you can almost smell its fragrance. Even the best embroiderer in the palace couldn't match it."
The beautiful lady straightened her clothes and said modestly, "Sister, please don't laugh at me. The sisters in the palace are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I only have a low-level skill."
After chatting and laughing for a while, the imperial concubine's face gradually showed fatigue.
The beautiful lady was very perceptive and without staying any longer, she stood up and said goodbye.
When I left Yongfu Palace, the snow outside had stopped. Although the sun was out, it was not warm at all. A gust of wind blew, and the coldness seemed to penetrate into people's bones.
Lu Zhu gathered her master's cloak and said with a smile, "It's really cold today, and my young master didn't sleep well last night. Why don't you go back and sleep for a while?"
The gentle lady smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty these past few days and has not slept well at night. He even had blisters in his mouth this morning. Now that the weather is clear, why not go to the Imperial Garden to pick some plum blossoms and make some plum blossom soup for Your Majesty? This is the best way to clear away heat, nourish yin, and replenish qi."
Lu Zhu smiled slowly: "My lady is so kind to the emperor."
"With my background, it's a great blessing to be favored by the emperor. I can't let it go unappreciated."
The master and servant walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had already arrived at the Imperial Garden.
The vast expanse of red plum blossoms reflected against the white snow truly lived up to the saying that the plum blossoms are three parts whiter than the snow, but the snow is one part less fragrant than the plum blossoms.
The beautiful lady was in a good mood and was about to pick some, but was stopped by Luzhu. "As the saying goes, it's cold before frost and cold after snow. My lady is weak, what if she gets cold? It's better for me to do it."
"Well, then you better be careful and don't fall."
Luzhu lifted up her robe and tentatively walked slowly on the snow towards Merlin. In a short while, her pockets were filled with flower buds that were about to bloom.
Seeing that it was almost time, Luzhu was about to turn back to the main road, but when she looked up, she saw Mi Fei's warm sedan chair coming towards them.
The highest ranking people in the harem now are the Imperial Noble Consort and the Noble Consort Yi. Although they hold high positions, they have good tempers.
Never make things difficult for others.
But Concubine Mi relied on her high status and the fact that she was a princess of a country, and she looked down on everyone except the emperor and the empress dowager.
Not to mention the gentle and beautiful woman who was originally a dancer.
Lu Zhu was afraid that her master would be wronged, so she hurried to meet them. As expected, Mi Fei also saw the master and servant.
He coldly ordered the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair: "Stop."
Seeing such a grand scene, and seeing Mi Fei's gloomy face when she got out of the sedan chair, Rou Mei knew that the person in front of her would definitely not let her go easily, but she still followed the rules of etiquette.
