When the master and servant of the imperial study were relatively silent, Wei Xi was taking Zong Ling to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.The little girl is the age of beauty, and when she sees a hibiscus blooming brightly, she wants to take off the hairpin and put it on her hair.However, the flowers in this imperial garden are not just picked, "Sister-in-law of the queen?"
”Wei Xi looked at the flower and Zong Ling's little face, shook his head, and honestly beat the little girl, "Don't bring it, this is so gorgeous and enchanting, you can't hold back your little face!"
”Zong Ling: "Although I have long been accustomed to the queen's sister-in-law speaking directly, every time I hear such overly true words, it is still very heart-wrenching.She touched her face, "Sister-in-law of the queen, am I not good-looking?"
”"It's not pretty," Wei Xi thought for a moment, "Actually, the two of us are only one word apart." ”"What word?""
You're averagely good-looking, I'm not ordinarily good-looking."
Zong Ling: "It's really only one word missing, and the key is that she is really powerless to refute."
Wei Xi saw that the little girl was a little depressed, "You don't wear this hibiscus flower, but there are other flowers in this imperial garden that are suitable for you to wear." ”Zong Ling came out of the slump a little, "Sister-in-law of the queen, which one should I wear?"
”Wei Xi looked around and stretched out his hand, "That kind of light purple flower, you should look better when you wear it." ”Zong Ling looked in the direction of Wei Xi's finger.It was a cluster of flowers, blooming low-key by the wooden bridge, and the small purple flowers looked very elegant and pleasant, which I had not noticed before, but now I had noticed, and when I walked in, it was no worse than the hibiscus flower.Or rather, each has its own merits.Zong Ling happily reached out and picked a few, but she couldn't wear them without a mirror, and Wei Xi was about to walk over to help her when she saw this.Just a few steps away, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Xiao Qi who was following behind her, "Niangniang be careful." ”When Wei Xi was pulled and didn't know why, Xiao Ba on the other side had already pulled out the short knife hidden in his sleeve, walked to a clump of reeds specially planted by the wooden bridge, and with a few short knives in his hand, all the reeds were cut off.Wei Xi had already quietly held his breath, and Zong Ling, who was protected by Xiao Ba behind him on the other side, was already dumbfounded.Who will tell her why even the palace maids around the queen's sister-in-law are close to her with weapons!
But what is this doing now?
Before she could figure it out, Hachi had already leaned down, and when she straightened up again, she had an extra wooden basin in her hand.She looked into the tub with curiosity, then covered her mouth violently, and covered her exclamations back, but she couldn't help but take a few steps backwards, almost squatting on the ground.Xiaoba put the wooden basin on the shore, "Niangniang, you can come over." ”Xiao Qi let go of Wei Xi's hand at this time.The two of them walked briskly together, then looked down at the tub.I knew why Fang Cai Zongling was so frightened.There was actually a baby in this tub.Wrapped in a black cloth, the exposed skin was red, and it looked like he had just been born.Xiao Qi suppressed the surprise in his heart, first looked at the river in front of him, and cautiously analyzed: "Niangniang, I remember that this river leads to the outside of the palace, and the gate will be opened at a fixed hour every day to release water.Someone put the baby in the wooden basin, probably with the intention of letting the wooden basin flow out of the palace while the gate was opened, but he didn't expect that in case, the reeds happened to entangle the wooden basin. ”Zong Ling was surprised and slipped over again, "Where did this little doll come from?"
”Wei Xi glanced at her: "I want to know too, but now it's imperative, don't you have to hurry up to see the condition of this little guy?"
I don't know how long I've been floating in this river. ”Several people looked at each other.Xiao Qixiao waved his hand hurriedly, "Niangniang, we have no experience in taking care of children. ”"Then let's find a grandmother with this experience.This kid," Wei Xi hesitated, but he still didn't win the heart, "Let's take it back to Fengyi Palace first." ”found such a little guy, this imperial garden is destined to be unable to go on, and several people hurriedly went home.The Linglong in Fengyi Palace didn't let them go to the Imperial Garden, so they could only find work for themselves to pass the time.Who knew that as soon as this job was found, I saw that the queen mother who went to visit the imperial garden came back again.How much of a stretch does this have to be?
Until I saw the big wooden basin held by Xiao Hachi who walked at the end, there was a newborn baby lying in the big wooden basin.The four jewels exclaimed in unison, their eyes widening as they never did.Wei Xi was a little glad that he had closed the door of the side hall."
This, this, Queen Mother, where did this child come from?""
I picked it up in the Imperial Garden."
Wei Xi said and looked at Linglong and them, "You have been in the palace for a long time, you should know which grandmother in this palace has taken care of the newborn child and has a tight mouth, right?"
”When asked about business, Linglong and the others quickly calmed down, and after thinking for a while, they all spoke, "Mama Zhuang." ”Yingluo had already turned around and ran outside, explaining as she ran, "I'll go and ask if I'm running." ”As soon as Yingluo left, the rest of the people gathered around the wooden basin and looked at the little guy who was still asleep in the wooden basin for a while.Zong Ling whispered: "Sister-in-law of the queen, will he faint from hunger like this?"
”"It's hard to say," Wei Xi frowned and shook her head, this little guy was really too small, she didn't dare to touch it, "Why don't you feed some warm water?"
”"But how do you drink when he's asleep, how do we wake him up?""
Or don't, if you wake him up and cry, which of you will coax him?"
Everyone was at a loss, and the savior was dragged back by Yingluo in a hurry.When Mama Zhuang came into the side hall, what she saw was a group of people squatting in a circle, you say a word, but fortunately, she still has good eyesight, and she accurately found the queen mother from the inside."
The old slave meets the queen mother."
Wei Xi turned around and saw an old lady with a kind face who already had silver threads in her hair saluting her, "Mama Zhuang, come and have a look." ”As he spoke, he got up and stepped back, and the others also got up and spread out.Mama Zhuang didn't know why she stepped forward.When Fang Yingluo went to look for her, she didn't have time to say what was going on, she only said that the queen mother was in a hurry to find her, and she rushed over before she had time to clean up.When he saw the little baby in the wooden basin, his tone changed, "This, this child" Wei Xi reminded her in a plate, "Mama Zhuang, don't care where this child came from, let's see if this child is okay first, whether he is hungry or something, he has been asleep since now." ”"Yes, yes," Mama Zhuang listened and hurriedly squatted down to pick up the little baby inside with the swaddling clothes, first listened carefully to the child's breathing, and then opened the swaddling fingers and gently touched the baby's belly, after doing this, she hesitated, reached out and gently pinched the flesh on the inside of the arm next to the baby's squeaky nest.Once a normal person is pinched in this place, even if the force is still small, they will still feel pain, and once it hurts, they will react.But she pinched it twice, and the second time was heavier than the first, and the little baby in her arms was still asleep, not crying, not making trouble, and not even frowning.Wei Xi stood on the side and watched Mama Zhuang's movements all the time, and naturally saw the abnormality.Before she could think of why there was such an abnormality, Mama Zhuang looked at the little baby in her arms, and then at the rough wooden basin on the ground, and had some guesses.She has lived in this palace for almost thirty years, and she has never seen anything outrageous and bizarre, and she is not much surprised with this guess, but she is not surprised to see a little baby suddenly in the queen's palace, "Queen Mother, according to the old slave, this child is fed drugs to make him sleep, so he will not wake up no matter how much he tosses." ”Everyone was shocked when they heard this.Xiao Qi couldn't help but speak: "Aren't you afraid of danger in feeding medicine to such a young child?"
”"Back to the little seventh girl, the old slave thinks that the child's mother should think that even if feeding the medicine will harm the child's body, it is better than letting him use his cry to attract the patrolling guards."
Hearing this, Wei Xi raised his eyes and glanced at this Grandma Zhuang, "Grandma Zhuang, what did you guess?"
”"Back to the queen," Mama Zhuang curtled her knees while holding the child, and then replied, "The old slave has lived in this palace for nearly thirty years, and he has seen a lot of things that happened in this harem.If the old slave didn't guess wrong, the child should have been picked up from the Jade Belt River in the Imperial Garden.The wooden basin floats on the water, and the Yudai River is connected to the river outside the palace, and some people want to use this wooden basin and the Yudai River to send the child out of the palace.Perhaps, it is not necessary that there are people outside the palace to answer. ”Wei Xi was stunned, this last point was something she didn't expect.She only thought that the child's mother could not raise the child in this palace, and even could not be discovered by others, so she would send the person away after the Yudai River, as for whether there would be an accident halfway, and whether it would be picked up by well-wishers after flowing out of the palace, it would depend on the child's life.Now it seems that there is another possibility, there are people guarding outside this palace, and once they see the child appear, they can be rescued immediately and placed properly.It's just that I don't know how much time this child has been trapped in the reeds, and if there is someone from outside the uterus, and whether it is because he can't wait for the child to appear, he only gave up answering in the middle of the accident!
Zong Ling looked at the people in the hall who were all contemplating, "Sister-in-law of the queen, I have a plan." ”
