The concubine is so charming

Chapter 355
Wan Xiang hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted, and said, "Don't dare to bother Madam Wei, just let the servants serve you." Then she took the soup bowl in front of Su Yao and came back with a bowl of pearl and emerald soup.

Su Yao didn't shy away from it, Concubine Zhen also drank this soup just now, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Watching Su Yao take two sips, Concubine Zhen nodded slightly: "The little girl is delicate and weak, so she should drink more nourishing soups to make herself more hydrated."

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am."

After finishing the vegetarian meal, Concubine Zhen didn't stay too long, and took the nanny back to her main hall, while Su Yao and others went to the side hall to rest.

After resting in the side hall for about half an hour, Su Yao and others went to the Buddhist hall to copy scriptures again.

Mu Zhenzhen and the others were around, and there were court ladies coming and going one after another, Mu Zhaoyu and Su Yao didn't say much, and waited until the afternoon scripture copying was over before returning to their own courtyards.

Back at Lan Cuixuan, Su Yao was always a little distracted. When he heard that Mu Zhaoyu was coming, he stood up and welcomed him in: "I met sister Zhaoyu."

"Sister, you don't need to be too polite," Mu Zhaoyu looked her up and down, "Do you find it hard to copy the scriptures today?"

"It's just sitting there and writing, nothing serious."

"Well," Mu Zhaoyu looked worried, and after a pause, he said hesitantly, "Ninghua, if not, you can ask Chu Xiangye to tell the emperor that you want to get married, and the time is right." It's too hasty, this scripture copying errand can be postponed."

Su Yao's smile was bitter: "I didn't want to have anything to do with these people in the harem. If I could refuse, I would naturally. My sister also knows that although I am now named Zhaohua Princess, I don't have much to do with the Rong Palace, but after all I have to worry about Qing Chen, and I can't cause him any trouble between actions. Although it takes time to copy the scriptures, the concubine Zhen has already said today, copying the scriptures The most important thing is sincerity, regardless of the amount. The Mid-Autumn Festival is only two days away. Even if I have to prepare a dowry, two days are still enough time. It is really offensive to use this excuse to refuse an errand. very."

"It's true to say so, but I always feel that Concubine Zhen's attitude is really confusing."

"Why don't I think so? But now that she is an elder, the excuses she made are justified. As juniors, can we still be courteous?"

"The intrigues in this palace are always endless, and I don't know when they will be the top." Mu Zhaoyu sighed.

Su Yao smiled: "There is always a way. I forgot to ask my sister before. Can you tell me where I got the information on the note that my sister stuffed me?"

"On the surface, our Prince Ping Palace does not fight or grab, but as a palace, it is difficult to gain a foothold without the slightest foundation. This is the news from the manpower arranged by the mother and concubine. A lot of tonic medicinal materials have been added."

"She is pregnant now, it is reasonable to take some tonics to take care of her body..."

"Ordinary ginseng and bird's nest will not attract people's attention, but this time the number of tonics is too much, and there is a very rare medicinal material in it. It is said that taking a small amount will not cause any serious problems. It can also make people calm and calm, but if it is overdose, it can kill people.”

Su Yao raised her eyebrows: "I don't know what my sister is talking about?"

"Toad Su."

Wan Xiang's expression changed: "Miss, this servant remembered it. When I was distinguishing the handkerchief you brought out, I always felt that there was something mixed in it, but I couldn't remember it. I just heard Princess Anping say , isn’t there an extra taste of toad venom in it? Excessive consumption of this toad venom will cause great damage to the body, and the most important thing is that this medicinal material has a very light taste and no color, so few people can distinguish it.”

Su Yao's expression sank: "I remember that pregnant women should not use this medicinal herb, right?"

"Yes, because it is poisonous, it is best not to touch it."

"What's wrong with the vegetarian table today?"

"The servant took a closer look, and apart from the addition of some tonics, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Tonic..." Su Yao murmured these two words softly, "It's too late, even if you take too much of the best tonic, it won't do you any good. Right now, I can't figure out the purpose of Concubine Zhen, so I can only leave for now. Take one step at a time. Wan Xiang, write down the tonics you come into contact with, and I will look through the medical books later to see if I can find any clues?"

"Yes, servant girl will go down and tidy up now."

Su Yao felt a little anxious: "Thank you sister for reminding me. If you hadn't taken care of me in many ways, this time, I'm afraid I would be really hard to guard against."

"There is no need to be so polite between you and my sisters. Although there are eyeliners in Prince Ping's mansion, there are still some scruples. There are many secrets that cannot be found out, so I can't help my sister more." Mu Zhaoyu took Su Yao's hand, There seemed to be a little apology between the expressions.

"Sister reminded me several times that she has already shown me a mountain of kindness. I heard that after she left the palace last time, Princess Ping fell ill. I wonder how her body is recuperating now?"

"Mother was very angry before, but she felt a little uncomfortable after returning home. Fortunately, you asked Taoist priest Wuchen to come to help mother take a pulse and take care of her. Now there is no serious problem."

"That's good. It's said that women are born weak, but mothers are strong. Princess Ping protected her sister like that back then, which is really enviable."

"It was my luck that I was reincarnated at the knee of my mother and became her daughter. She has sacrificed a lot for our siblings, and now it is time for us to repay her. After my brother came back, he mentioned my sister to me many times, saying that my sister was here. Rongcheng's disaster relief, the demeanor is really enviable. He thought he was good at first, but after seeing his sister's handling of things, he realized that he still has something to learn. Therefore, these days are much quieter than before, but he is down-to-earth If you really study and learn, you don’t dare to think about more things.”

Su Yao's hand holding the teacup moved slightly, and looked up at Mu Zhaoyu in surprise: "Sister, Mr. Mu is calm, and he handles things like everyone else. The Prime Minister has praised him many times. Don’t be so arrogant.”

"Our family is used to idlers. Now that my elder brother is able to enter the court and help the emperor share some political affairs, although it seems that they are all trivial things, it has already caused him a lot of trouble. My elder brother has also talked with the emperor many times. My father complained, saying that his temper followed his father's, and he couldn't bear these hardships since he was a child, and he will continue to inherit the restaurant opened by his father in a peaceful manner, so that he can live a stable life."

As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to clarifying the attitude of Ping Wangfu: Mu Sinian had no intention of competing for the position of heir!
