Chapter 169: I can ask for you

Tang Shi was also an interesting person. He didn't come here directly with a big fanfare. Instead, he chose to come at night, wearing a black cloak, like an underground party joint.
"Concubine please greet the empress."
Huachun looked at her and smiled: "Get up, come and sit down."
"Xie Niangniang." Looking up, Tang Shi saw Huachun's face, and he was taken aback at the moment: "It turned out to be you?"
Isn't this the girl next to Gong Yuhou? She was quite impressed because she was very edible. At first, he suspected that it was Gong Yuhou's wife, but after inquiring about Gong Yuhou, he found out that Gong Yuhou was not married.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be Gong Yuhou's younger sister, or the De concubine in the palace.
Huachun smiled and nodded: "It's me, thank you for the buns you invited."
"... Niang Niang made a serious statement, just a few buns." Tang Shi laughed dryly, feeling very complicated, looking at her and asked: "You... are you Hou Ye's sister?"
Sister? Huachun thought for a while and nodded: "That's it."
That's okay, otherwise Tang would have to think in a crooked way because of the way Hou Ye looked at her.
Seeing Huachun's kindness, she also relaxed a little. Unlike Concubine Shu, she looked at her a few times and said in a low voice, "The empress is graceful and luxurious, and she has a maternal brilliance. No wonder someone in the palace doubts you. pregnant."
For a moment, Huachun pulled the blanket next to her and covered her body, leaning on the soft couch and said: "In this palace, right from wrong is hard to tell. You don't care about others, just take care of yourself."
"Yes." With a sigh, Tang said: "If Lord Hou hadn't sent the concubine in, the concubine would not have wanted to enter the palace."
Hey? Huachun raised her eyebrows, tried hard to think about it, and patted her forehead: "My palace remembers, you were a little admired for my second brother...that is, Gong Yuhou, right?"
His face was reddened, and Tang Shi gave a vigilant look at the green curls beside him.
"It's okay, it's my own people and can't talk nonsense." Huachun said: "You can say anything you want."
"The concubine who the empress trusts naturally also trusts." Tang Shi hesitated for a while and sighed: "There is no one who can speak the truth in this palace, so the empress can let the concubine complain. In this step, all concubines were forced."
After Huachun had a meal, she felt a little awkward in her heart, and she was so mixed up in the palace, how could she be forced?
But I still grudgingly listened to her with a smile, after all, is the second brother's person.
"Before entering the palace, my concubine did a lot of things for Hou Ye. I made snacks, learned etiquette, inquired about his preferences, and also got closer to the people in the Hou Mansion. For this, I also paid a lot." His eyes turned reddishly: "But Master Hou didn't move at all, and he mercilessly sent his concubine into the palace and became the emperor. The concubine was really heartbroken."
This... Huachun smiled awkwardly: "Are you still thinking about Lord Hou?"
"No." Wiping his tears, Tang looked up: "He is so ruthless to me, why should I care about him? Since I am already a member of the emperor, my concubine will definitely follow the emperor wholeheartedly."
"It's good for you to have such an idea." Huachun nodded: "In the past, you have to let go, and you shouldn't hold grudges against Gong Yuhou. His decision is good for both of you."
As soon as his body became stiff, Tang frowned, raised his head and glanced at Huachun, opened his mouth and endured, and only smiled and said: "Niang Niang is Gong Yuhou's sister, so she naturally helps Master Hou speak. My concubine does not resent him. However, this decision is good for him, but not necessarily good for his concubine. Concubine will live a good life in the future. If you have the opportunity, you should also ask Lord Hou for an explanation."
This clearly shows that I hate my second brother. Huachun shook his head. There is often such a situation between men and women. The two parties have nothing to do with each other. One side loves the other and gives a lot unilaterally, but the other party does not accept it. As a result, these contributions become The specific sentence is: "I have done so much for you, but you are so indifferent. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
Or: "Why are you so cruel, I've done so much, and I'm still not moved? Well, give me back the time, energy and money I spent!"
Meeting such a person, it can only be said to be bad luck for eight lifetimes. After all, it is your own decision to like others, and it is your willingness to pay. As long as they don’t accept it, you will have a position of rejecting you, and you will have to swallow the losses. , Don’t even complain.
At present, Huachun couldn't see if Tang Shi had a tendency to appeal, but was a little unhappy about her first admiration for Gong Yuhou and dissatisfaction with the emperor.
The emperor favored the newcomer and she was already very upset, and as a result, the newcomer had no emperor in his heart. She felt wronged for Yu Wenjie inexplicably, how could she not compare to He Changan, and she was rejected as such?
Look, this is the standard guardian mentality.
But she didn't show it, she smiled when Tang Shi said this, and then brought tea.
Tang is a very sensitive person. He noticed that Concubine De's emotions were not right, so he stopped talking and turned around and said: "Concubine has been with Concubine Shu, not trying to form an alliance with her, but because she has been treating her concubine. As a thorn in the eye, the best way to destroy the enemy is to become friends with her. The concubine is just to protect herself."
This can be regarded as clarifying the position with Concubine De, because I heard that Concubine De and Concubine Shu also had some contradictions.
Huachun nodded and smiled gently: "It's okay, this palace doesn't participate in the harem battle, so you can save yourself. It doesn't matter who you want to be with."
Taking a look at her, Tang Shi nodded, his eyes fell on her stomach, and couldn't help but pause for a while.
Is this appearance really not pregnant?
"Niang Niang, the medicine is ready." Rui Er reported outside.
Hua Chun nodded and looked at Tang Shi and said, "I won't keep you, my palace is not healthy, and I have to rest after drinking the medicine."
"The concubine will retire first." Tang Shi got up, saluted and withdrew from the main hall.
There happened to be a maid bringing the medicine in. She glanced inadvertently, feeling a little curious, and then asked her close court maid Linger: "What is the sickness of Concubine De?"
Ling'er whispered: "The slave and maidservant don't know, anyway, since she fell out of favor, she has been raising in the palace, and the medicine has basically never stopped."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Tang asked, "Is there a lot of medicine residue in the Hall of Nourishment?"
"This is natural, I have to pour a lot every day."
"You go find some, don't disturb other people." Tang said: "We can also see what the disease is. Maybe the imperial doctor in the palace can't cure it, but the folk earthwork can be cured."
"Yes." Ling'er responded, holding her skirt and ran to the palace where the garbage was handled.
The medicine dregs in the Hall of Nourishing Hearts were first used to dry stuffed pillows in Huachun, but later the palace was full of medicine and it smelled unpleasant, so I sent a little palace lady to the palace for incineration when it accumulated a certain amount. Furnace, unified treatment.
The job was easy but boring. At first, the little palace lady was obedient and very vigilant. She had to see the medicine burned clean before leaving, but then she started to be lazy and took the medicine with her when she was thrown away.
So Ling'er was not difficult to get the medicine dregs at all, packed a bag and sent it to Tangshi.
In addition to making steamed buns, Tang also knows a little bit about pharmacology. It is not difficult to recognize the basic medicinal materials, so at this point of view, he is a little confused.
"Ejiao, perilla, astragalus, mugwort... why are they all anti-fetuses?"
Ling'er was shocked: "No? If the Concubine De consort was pregnant, how could she be left out? She should have been helped by the queen mother."
With his hands shaking slightly, Tang Shi took a breath, collected all the medicine slag, and stuffed it to Ling'er: "I said nonsense, don't take it seriously, just burn this."
"...Yes." Looking at her strangely, Linger still did.
Tang's eyes were deep, staring at some place on the table for a long time, then he took a deep breath and got up to pack himself.
Concubine Shu was tossed to the ground. As the people in the harem were sent out in batches, the situation improved. However, the Xu family gave her a letter from the family and scolded her, saying that because of her, the family’s People have made a lot of enemies in the DPRK, making it difficult to move.
"It's really shallow." The Xu family burned the letter paper unconvincedly: "What does it matter to be an enemy of others? As long as you have the emperor's heart, that's fine."
The palace man next to her gave her a worried look, Concubine Shu stubbornly pressed her lips and refused to admit her mistake, and even ordered her to speed up and get everyone out of the palace.
Due to the pressure, she stayed a lot of people with positions, but even so, now the total number of people in the palace should not exceed one hundred, and she has managed it a lot easier.
"Should I send out this month's monthly money?" Concubine Shu muttered and opened the ledger.
The palace man next to him reminded in a low voice: "Niang Niang, Wu Guibi has already taken the charge and sent the monthly money, and it has basically reached the hands of each palace."
"What?!" Concubine Shu frowned: "How can she do this kind of thing?"
Sending monthly money is a very good thing to earn good impressions, and a lot of oil and water can be obtained from it. She has always been doing it.
The palace man shook his head, saying that he didn't know the situation, how could Xu's breath take this breath? Immediately went to Wu Guibing's palace to speak.
As a result, as soon as I entered, I saw dozens of court concubines sitting together and joking. When they saw her coming, they saluted collectively, and then started talking again, leaving her to dry.
Under such circumstances, she felt embarrassed when she opened her mouth. She sat on a stick of incense abruptly, got up and left in anger.
"The situation is not good." Her personal court lady whispered: "You are isolated, just like the former concubine Shu."
"My palace will not end with her!" Angrily tossed his sleeves, the Xu family immediately went to Tang Cairen.
Tang Shi looked at her embarrassedly and said, "Although my concubine is favored now, her position is not high, and she can't help her mother too much."
"Isn't it just a position? You should be promoted after you have been in bed for so long." Concubine Shu said, "My palace will help you to ask the emperor!"
