Chapter 159: Concubine Xian shows her favor 2
When Concubine Shu Xian saw Qi Yan's actions, she immediately stepped forward intimately, supported Qi Yan and sat upright, and then said, "The Crown Princess doesn't have to be like this, they are all her family."
"Empress Xie Xian."
Qi Yan blinked, and this was the first time Concubine Shu Xian met her.
Why are you so kind and gentle to yourself?
Concubine Shu Xian seemed to see Qi Yan's doubts and said a little apologetically, "After the princess returned to the camp, I was infected with snake venom, I wanted to come to visit. The emperor said that you were weak, so he detained me and did not allow me to chat about the princess' rest. I had only been slowing down for two days to come to visit me."
Concubine Shu Xian said.
Qi Yan didn't know what Shu Xianfei sold in the gourd, so she had to bite the bullet and chatted in awkwardly, "Don't worry, Concubine Xian, Qi Yan is already very happy."
“That’s good.”
Concubine Shu Xian looked happy, "Come on, come on, try this red ginseng pigeon soup. It is the most warm and tonic for patients with excessive blood loss. Don't worry, I asked Doctor Wang, and Doctor Wang said this soup is suitable for you to take."
Concubine Shu Xian’s show of kindness made Qi Yan a little confused.
However, the other party did not express his intention and she did not want to ask directly.
In this way, in the next few days, Shu Xianfei came to visit Qi Yan every few days.
Sometimes, her female official Chang Mei would send Qi Yan a variety of supplements.
The gifts sent by him were already piled up in a corner of the house.
On this day, Ye Chen contacted Wen Qiu and asked Wen Qiu to send some detoxification and warming herbs.
Look, the medicinal materials have been received, so Ye Chen came to find Qi Yan.
It happened to meet Chang Mei after giving her snacks. Chang Mei looked at Ye Chen shyly, then lowered her head.
"Chang Mei pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ye Chen's eyes were still covered with white veil. When he saw Chang Mei's behavior, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and left, not taking Chang Mei seriously at all.
I pushed the door and entered the room, looking at the corner, all of which were sent by Concubine Shu Xian.
Qi Yan was able to get off the ground. She shook her hands in the room and stretched her legs. As soon as she saw Ye Chen, she immediately said, "Your Highness, Concubine Shu Xian often sends some things over the past few days. I always think she is a little weird."
"This is the medicinal material you want."
Putting the medicine bag on the table, Ye Chen asked again, "What's strange about Concubine Shu Xian?"
Qi Yan frowned and walked up to him to grab the medicine bag. "The Chang Mei next to Concubine Shu Xian, the day Jin He was executed, we have seen her once in the Ministry of Justice."
When she heard her talk about Chang Mei, Ye Chen thought of Chang Mei's shy look when they met just now, and she lost all her appetite!
Qi Yan looked at Ye Chen with sincere and calm eyes, "Your Highness, I want to ask you, is Concubine Shu Xian and Empress Duan a good relationship?"
"I can't remember anything other than my mother before the age of three."
Ye Chen shook his head.
...
Qi Yan recovered quickly, and the gloom on Old Qi's face slowly disappeared, and he became happy these two days.
No matter how the hunting progresses, Mr. Qi is as always and will definitely come back to accompany Qi Yan during lunch.
At noon, three people sat around the dining table to have a meal.
Qi Yan suddenly raised her head, then looked at Old Qi and said, "Grandfather, can you help me arrange to meet someone? I want to meet Eunuch De!"
"You want to meet Eunuch De? Why is this?"
Mr. Qi was shocked. Where did the granddaughter make a fuss?
Eunuch De is the confidant of Emperor Yan, and he is always there to serve the emperor. How easy is it to see him?
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at Qi Yan with confusion.
Qi Yan smiled and said, "I want to ask Eunuch De about something."
"What are you asking?"
Mr. Qi asked.
Qi Yan looked at Mr. Qi, "Grandfather, do you know that Empress Duan and Concubine Shu Xian have a good relationship?"
"How can I know this?"
Mr. Qi was dumbfounded. He rarely lived in Yanjing City.
Every year, he only stays in Yanjing City for the half month he returns to Beijing to report his duties, and he stays in Yanjing City for the rest of his time. Moreover, Empress Duan and Concubine Shu Xian are both women of Emperor Yan. He is a general and there is no need to care about Emperor Yan’s harem!
Qi Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, "So, I have to ask Eunuch De."
"Okay, okay, I'll go and ask later to see when Eunuch De is free, so I'll make some arrangements."
Mr. Qi is spoiled by Qi Yan, and Qi Yan’s request is not too much. What’s wrong with him satisfying his granddaughter?
In the afternoon.
Mr. Qi came to Eunuch De, who stood outside the hunting ground and watched Emperor Yan hunting in the hunting ground.
"Duke Ding, why is he so idle?"
When Eunuch De saw Mr. Qi appear beside him, he was a little surprised.
After Qi Yan was infected with snake venom, Mr. Qi was guarding him every day, and all the officials saw the spirit of pampering his granddaughter.
Mr. Qi walked to Eunuch De and suddenly asked, "Eunuch De, are you free now?"
"Duke Dingguo, why did you watch outside the hunting ground and not go to the event?"
The folds on Eunuch De’s face, because of the smiles, give people a very friendly feeling.
"Yan'er is a little better, but I'm still worried, so I stopped hunting."
Mr. Qi smiled.
Old Master Qi and Old Master De have also met. When Old Master Qi was still a general, he often chatted with Old Master De when he was in court.
Eunuch De sighed quite emotionally, "Although the Crown Princess was infected with the venom of the red-spotted snake, she was very lucky and had great fortunes. Finally, she was in danger and she would have good luck in the future."
When Mr. Qi heard that Eunuch De seemed to have a good impression of Qi Yan, he said, "Eunuch De, Yan'er wants to invite Eunuch De to have a drink. I wonder when will Eunuch De be free?"
De Eunuch De was slightly surprised and curiously said, "Duke Dingguo, you don't know that this is in the imperial village. There are not many capable eunuchs around the emperor. The old slave has to serve the emperor and cannot leave. If the crown princess has something to do, you might as well tell me."
"Yan'er said that Concubine Shu Xian often came to visit her these days, and asked the female officials around her to give her a lot of valuables."
After a pause, Mr. Qi said with a little deeper meaning, "Yan'er wants to know that Concubine Shu Xian was so caring for Queen Duan's sake? Or, if it has other intentions, please help me solve my doubts."
"When Empress Duan was alive, she was not close to Concubine Shu Xian."
Eunuch De thought for a while, "If the Crown Princess has some doubts about this, the old slave knows that he can understand the relationship between Empress Duan and Concubine Shu Xian from her. However, he has to wait until the hunt is over and return to the capital."
"Then there will be Father Lauder."
Mr. Qi smiled and nodded.
Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a month has passed.
On this day, Qi Yan went out of the room and planned to go to the hunting ground.
After conditioning these days, Qi Yan's health is no longer injurious.
As soon as I arrived at the yard, I was shocked by Rongfeng, who was exhausted from outside and reported in a low voice: "The princess, the flying pigeons from Yanjing were sent by Niu An."
Seeing that there was no one around, Rongfeng handed the letter in his hand to Qi Yan.
