He only took medicine once a day, and the dosage was insufficient. Song Ruoxi's disease did not worsen, but it did not relieve it. The hospital diagnosed the pulse, prescribed the prescription, and returned to the palace to report truthfully, "Emperor, the girl of Song was invaded by wind and cold, which caused the fever."

"She has been ill for several days and has not recovered yet. Isn't Ji Xiang afraid of misleading her condition?" The emperor put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard.

"Your Majesty, this Song girl has been weak since childhood. Every time she gets sick, she will be lingering in bed for many days. I have treated her more than a dozen times when she was young," said Huang Yuan.

The emperor's eyes were slightly darker, and he raised his hand. Huang Yuanshou bowed and retreated.

"Luo Qi, do you think this matter is that simple?" the emperor asked with his lips curled.

Shangguan Moxun looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard. The girl didn't even agree with her husband's concubine. How could she come to this harem? After a while, she said lightly: "When the flowers in the imperial garden bloom to the brightest, they will slowly wither."

"Luo Qi also thinks he is trying to avoid favor?" the emperor raised his eyebrows.

"Jiang Jing has six grandsons, six grandsons, and only one granddaughter." Shangguan Moxun took the words back.

"Scarcity is precious." The emperor laughed, "Jiang is cautious and steady, and will not joke about the life of his precious granddaughter."

"I heard that Ji Xiang had a treasured silk "Picture of tuning the piano and sipping tea." Shangguan Moxun knew that the emperor's suspicion had not yet subsided, so he implicitly volunteered.

"You have always been good at painting, why don't you go and see it?" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't believe in the verdict of Huang Yuan and wanted Shangguan Moxun to go there. It was not easy for a man from the outside to see a girl in the boudoir, but he believed that Shangguan Moxun's skills would be able to accomplish this.

"I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I'll go around." Shangguan Moxun followed the flow.

The emperor smiled loudly and was about to speak, but the eunuch reported outside, "Young Master Ye Shuhua asked for a meeting."

"Xuan." The emperor said.

Shangguan Moxun stood up, "Luo Qi will not interfere with the Emperor's Director."

"The chess is not finished yet, so you are not allowed to go."

Shangguan Moxun's eyes flashed slightly, he sat back to his original place, picked up the teacup, took a sip. Ye Shuhua walked in, folded his hands together, and bowed: "The little monk has seen the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Shuhua, you have not become a monk, don't call yourself a little monk." The emperor sighed with headache. My cousin was devoted to the Buddha. No wonder my cousin was anxious and couldn't ask the queen mother to come. No matter what, he would point out a marriage to this cousin.

"Emperor, the people of Cao want to leave Beijing, please forgive me." Ye Shuhua asked the emperor for some reason and changed his words.

"The Queen Mother's birthday has not arrived yet, why are you thinking about leaving Beijing?" The cousin used the Queen Mother's birthday to trick people into Beijing, and the emperor also used this excuse to keep people.

"Emperor, the people of Cao must leave the capital." Ye Shuhua is a gentleman and converted to Buddhism. He was unable to tell what Princess An Ning did to him, so he could only avoid it.

"Why? Is there someone who is irresponsible to you?" The emperor's face was slightly dark. The empress dowager had only one brother and one cousin. This cousin was Ye Shuhua's mother. The empress dowager attached great importance to Ye Shuhua's cousin.

"No one speaks unfairly to the grass people." Ye Shuhua frowned in embarrassment.

"Why is it called uncle brother?" Shangguan Moxun helped Ye Shuhua to relieve the situation and said with a little joking.

The emperor looked at Shangguan Moxun, "Luo Qi knew why Shuhua was leaving?"

"A thousand troubles are lingering in my heart, when can I get peace of mind?" Shangguan Moxun put the cup and smiled indifferently.

The emperor looked at Shangguan Moxun's beautiful appearance and suddenly felt a little excited. He clenched his fists on his lips, coughed twice, concealed his strange expression, and said, "Shuhua, I will let Concubine Hui restrain her. You can stay in Jing for a while and accompany the Queen Mother."

"The little monk will stay for another month and leave the capital after the birthday of the Empress Dowager." Ye Shuhua agreed helplessly.

"Does Shuhua have anything else?" the emperor asked kindly.

"The little monk has nothing to do, the little monk leaves." Ye Shuhua clasped his hands together and retreated.

The emperor frowned and asked, "I remember An Ning has a good impression of you and often follows you in and out, why are you entangled in Shuhua again?"

Shangguan Moxun fell down and said, "Only by casting a wide net can you catch good fish."

The emperor's eyes were dull. It was fine if he was peaceful and domineering, but he was still fickle. He was a water-like and beautiful woman. Concubine Hui didn't know how to restrain the discipline. When the empress dowager's birthday was over, she would send her back to the Qi Palace so that she would not be able to lead the princesses.

Shangguan Moxun finished the game of chess with the emperor, left the palace, and went to the food building opened by the Shangguan family in the capital.

The shopkeeper welcomed him into the private room on the third floor.

"Have you been here in the past few days?" Shangguan Mo asked.

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "Young Master Lu has never come back since he left the house six days ago."

"If he comes back, tell him that Qing Xiao is sick."

"I remember the little one."

Shangguan Moxun ordered a few dishes, ordered a pot of wine, drank it for half an hour, drank a cup of tea, and then left the restaurant to go to the Ji family.

When Ji Chengxuan heard the visit of Mr. Luo Qi, a popular man next to the emperor, was aware of it and greeted him. However, the man wanted to meet the girl who was raised in the boudoir. This was not polite. He wanted to see how Luo Qi completed the task assigned by the emperor.

Shangguan Mo asked: "I heard that the prime minister had collected a silk "Picture of Tuning the Piano and Sniffing Tea" and took the initiative to come to the door. Please forgive me."

Ji Chengxuan did not refuse and took out the painting to show him.

The painting is made of horizontal color scrolls, a woman sitting on the stone and adjusting the piano on the left side, and a maid standing next to her. A woman sitting on a five-legged round stool in the middle, with her left hand supporting the edge of the stool and holding a tea bowl with her right hand, making her look like drinking; the other woman sits on a chair, facing outward, and a maid standing on the right hand holding a tea pavilion.

Shangguan Moxun praised: "This painting is worthy of a master's work. It has a vivid and natural dynamic expression, and the painting environment is quiet and elegant."

"The play of clothes is simple, the color is soft and beautiful." Ji Chengxuan's hand gently brushed across the scroll.

The two chatted from the use of color to the turning point of the brushwork. After talking about the painting, they talked about the rhythm. Ji Chengxuan was always alert and cautious in wording. After chatting for more than an hour, Shangguan Moxun had already drunk four cups of tea. The topic changed, "I wonder what the prime minister thinks about marching and formation?"

"I only have a little bit of knowledge about military tactics." Ji Chengxuan's eyes were slightly sunken, and this was about to get to the point.

"Only when encountering a strong enemy, the army is in danger can you win in a dangerous situation." Shangguan Mo asked, "I disturbed the prime minister for a long time, and Luo Qi said goodbye."

Ji Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, "Young Master, walk slowly."

After seeing Shangguan Moxun off, Ji Chengxuan returned to the study and looked at the "Picture of Tuning the Piano and Sniffing Tea" for a long time. He smiled. This young master Luo Qi was a smart man who knew to hide it from it and gave him a personal favor. He received this favor. He picked a picture of "Picture of War" from the painting box and put it in a brocade box, and quietly sent his confidant to send it to Shangguan Moxun's private house.

Shangguan Moxun smiled calmly when he got the "Military Operation Picture" and put it on the shelf. He was only for that person.

The next day, on the Lantern Festival, Shangguan Moxun entered the palace and handed over the task, which made the emperor relieve his suspicion. The emperor had to take care of all national affairs and family affairs, and this small matter was left behind and he never mentioned it again.

The city was very lively on the Lantern Festival. Song Ruoxi, who was still sick, could not go out to watch the lanterns. He could only wrap himself in a thick cotton robe, put on a fox fur, make it into a bun, hold a hand warmer, and accompany Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji and the others in the yard to see the lanterns decorated at home.

Song Ruoxi could not go out, so Ji Chengxuan detained all three boys at home and refused to go out.

"Grandpa, it's okay, let my cousin and the others go out. Just have grandma and aunt accompany me." Song Ruoxi snuggled in Mrs. Ji's arms and pleaded for them with a smile.

"Do you three want to go out to see the lanterns?" Ji Chengxuan asked with a sharp look at the three boys.

"Grandpa, the streets are crowded, and my grandson doesn't want to go out." Ji Yunli took the lead in expressing her attitude and said with a flattering smile.

Ji Yunzhen and Ji Yunxiang glanced at him, "Grandpa, grandson will stay at home with grandparents, father and mother."

"Xi'er, they stayed voluntarily." Ji Chengxuan said seriously.

Song Ruoxi held back his laughter and nodded.

On the Lantern Festival, watching lanterns and guessing riddles are customs.

Ji Yunli suggested: "It's boring to guess riddles just by telling stories, and the story brings riddles. Isn't it more vivid and interesting to hear the story and guess riddles?"

"As you ask." Ji Chengxuan drank the wine in the glass in one go, "You are the first to say what you came up with."

Ji Yunli smiled, "Grandpa, uncle, aunt, father, mother, sister-in-law, second brother, third brother, cousin Xi, listen."

"Fourth boy, auntie, let me tell you first. You must dare to mess around and be careful of your little butt." Mrs. Ji threatened with a smile.

"Please rest assured, my nephew doesn't dare to send you any more courageously," Ji Yunli said with a smile.

"No one can succeed in the editor." Mrs. Ji Er glared at him.

"Mom, I haven't said that either of you threatens me." Ji Yunli ran to Mrs. Ji pitifully, "Grandma, aunt and mother bully me."

"My good grandson is wronged, don't worry, grandma will support you." Mrs. Ji touched his face and smiled.

Ji Yunli came to Song Ruoxi again, "Cousin Xi, you have to support me too."

"Okay." Song Ruoxi nodded with a smile.

Ji Yunli walked to the middle of the hall and cleared her throat, "By the way, an older brother came to my sister's house as a guest. When my sister and sister met her brother, they held a banquet, and treated her warmly, and talked happily. Half the wine was over, my sister gave her a riddle for her to guess, "I have something that is good, half of the scales, half of the hair, half of the hair, half of the water, and half of the life that is hard to survive in the water, and half of the life that is hard to survive in the water for half a day." When the elder brother heard this, he did not directly tell the answer to the riddle. He took a pen and wrote a riddle with the same answer on the paper, "I have something that is divided into two sides, one side is delicious, the other side is fragrant, and the other side is delicious, and the other side is delicious, and the other side is hiding on the mountain, and the other side is hidden in the water. My sister smiled and praised, "Miracle, it's really wonderful," the younger sister said with a smile: "I have something that is strange, half of the body has two wings, half of the body has four hooves, the long hooves cannot run fast, and the long wings cannot fly. "Guess what is this thing?"

"This thing is not difficult to guess, it's just the word "fresh"." Jiang said with a smile.

"My sister-in-law guessed it, it's her turn to tell the story." Ji Yunli slapped and smiled.

Jiang thought for a while and said, "There is a good wife..."

The Ji family was telling stories and guessing riddles in the warm pavilion, and the Song family also sat around the table to celebrate the Lantern Festival. However, Song Ruojie was missing and Song Ruohu was more.

Song Ruojie did not marry Young Master Yu, but after the engagement, her fiancé suddenly died. This was too unlucky and too unlucky. Old Mrs. Song did not allow her to attend, so as not to get into trouble.

Song Ruohu's wedding day has been decided, and this is a happy event. Under the "care" of Old Lady Song, she came out to celebrate the festival.

The man was in the front hall and the female family lived in the back hall. Old Mrs. Song drank the wine, and the female family drank a glass and started eating. Unexpectedly, Song Ruohu didn't know whether it was because of the embroidery of the dowry or the absent-mindedness. The spoon in his hand fell from his hand, splashing some of the soup in the bowl, and the mat was disgraced.

Song Ruoying snorted coldly, "Fourth sister, how could she be so rash? No one can say that our Song family's daughter is uneducated!"

"Sister Xie San's teachings, sister will pay attention." Song Ruohu was beaten by Ji Yun so hard that he had lost his former arrogant edges and sagged his eyelids.

Song Ruoying was slightly stunned. Isn’t the fourth sister five years ago so easy to talk to?

"Third brother and sister, the fourth girl is about to get married. This etiquette is still a bit deficient. You have to worry about teaching and don't embarrass the Song family." Xiao Jiang glanced at Ji Yun.

Ji Yun ignored Xiao Jiang's family, picked up a fish, left the fish bones, and tasted them all.

"Three brothers and sisters, what is your attitude? Are I talking to you?" Xiao Jiang said angrily.

Ji Yun put down the chopsticks, pressed the corner of her mouth with a silk squid, and said, "Sister-in-law, the fourth girl is young and has some shortcomings in her etiquette. I wish you, you are forty years old, don't you remember the ancient saying? Where did you learn your etiquette?"

"Don't eat or sleep, yelling and yelling are disrespectful." Ouyang added opposite.
