Chapter 42: A Trip to the Palace
It has been a few days since Ye Lingyue was named the county lord, but after the banquet in Zhongyuan Palace, the Queen Mother did not summon Ye Lingyue again.
After all, in the summer capital, there are not a few hundred county lords with various titles, but also a hundred, and there are only a handful of them that can make the queen mother remember.
This time, the reason why the Queen Mother summoned Ye Lingyue was because the Queen Mother accidentally fell and her body was not very comfortable.
At this time, an old female official beside her remembered Lord Ye, after all, Lord Ye's massage skills were appreciated by the Queen Mother.
This time, Ye Lingyue was the only one in the summons, and after entering the palace, she was brought to the Queen Mother.
In the Queen Mother's Baifeng Palace, there was a faint incense, and when Ye Lingyue entered the door, the Queen Mother was taking a nap, and after she casually talked to the female official, she walked around the Baifeng Palace.
I happened to see a palace maid building a few peonies, and in the Baifeng Palace, the most picked seeds were peonies.
"This sister, you cut the wrong one, you should cut those dead branches. "Ye Lingyue has picked more kinds of spirit grass and spirit fruits since she had Hongmeng Tian, and her understanding of flowers has also grown a lot.
She stepped forward and helped cut off a few extra branches.
"I can't see that Lord Ye still has some research on gardening. The Queen Mother walked over with the support of several palace maids, and compared with the time before the Zhongyuan Dynasty a few days ago, the Queen Mother looked a little haggard.
Ye Lingyue heard that the Queen Mother fell not lightly this time, but how she fell, but she didn't hear anyone talk about it.
"See the Queen Mother, where do I know what gardening, but I like to play with some flowers and plants at home on weekdays. Ye Lingyue said with a smile.
What kind of eyesight the Queen Mother has, she is the best peony, the peony in the Baifeng Palace is raised by her, Ye Lingyue just looked at a few random scissors, but what can be cut off is all sick, which is very good for the growth of peonies.
"There happens to be a good peony here in the palace, but it's a pity that it hasn't been cultivated, you see, but there is still a chance to feed?"
In the corner of the flower garden, there is indeed a peony, this is the most valuable peony in the entire Baifeng Garden, but it is a pity that the unknown insect pest, the leaves have almost fallen, I don't know what the reason is, the queen mother has been reluctant to throw away.
Ye Lingyue stepped forward and touched the camellia with her hand, and the dingxi infiltrated into the peony plant, and found that there were many small insect eggs in the body of the peony flower.
These small insect eggs are the culprits that make the peony wither, but as long as the eggs are devoured with Ding Qi, and then placed in the Hongmeng sky, and raised for a period of time with aura, I believe that this peony will definitely die in spring.
Seeing that Ye Lingyue checked it, she didn't say anything for a long time, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask.
"Can this peony still be saved?"
"Save, if the Queen Mother trusts me, give it to me to raise for a while, and within a month, I will definitely return a live peony flower to the Queen Mother. Ye Lingyue said confidently.
"Queen Mother, that peony was given by the Sixth Prince, and it was handed over to outsiders, I'm afraid it's not okay?" said the palace maid next to the Queen Mother in a low voice.
The Six Princes?
Ye Lingyue remembered that today's crown prince is the fourth prince, and the sixth prince should be the one born by the queen.
This Sixth Prince, that is, the one that Madame Lan wanted Ye Lingyue to help heal earlier.
There are many concubines in Emperor Xia's palace, and there are more than a dozen princes and princesses, but when it comes to talent, the smartest is the sixth prince, and he is also the most favored by the Queen Mother and Emperor Xia.
It is said that when he was very young, he was measured to be able to cultivate spiritual power, and at the age of three he could recite the Great Xia Zhi, and at the age of four he could recite poems against him, and everyone believed that the Six Princes would inherit the orthodoxy.
It's a pity that when the sixth prince was five years old, his temperament suddenly changed greatly, and his personality became extremely withdrawn, he locked himself in the room, refused to see anyone, and smashed everything in the room, even the queen couldn't get close to him.
Earlier, some people said that the six princes were under evil magic, and some people said that the six princes took the pill by mistake after they fell ill.
But no matter which way you say it, the "illness" of the six princes has not improved.
It was also because of the sudden change of the six princes that the queen and Emperor Xia fell out of harmony.
In a flash, several years have passed, and in the palace, the six princes have also become a taboo, except for a few people, including the queen and the queen mother, no one can get close to the six princes.
This time, the Queen Mother's fall injury was also related to the Six Princes.
When the sixth prince was mentioned, the sadness on the queen mother's face became even thicker, and she sighed.
She looked at the peony that had lost its luster.
"If you don't leave the palace, it's been like this all your life, just give it one last chance, if it can't be cured again, give it up"
Ye Lingyue heard the off-string sound in the Queen Mother's words, and her heart shook slightly.
It is said that the heavenly family has no relatives, but from the words of the old queen mother, she heard distress and regret, this is not just an ordinary peony flower, in the mind of the queen mother, it is the six princes.
"Ling Yue must live up to the Queen Mother's trust, I don't think the Queen Mother's body is very good, it is better for Ling Yue to help you massage it. Ye Lingyue put away the peony flowers and began to see the queen mother.
She first used Dingqi to check it for the Queen Mother.
It was found that the Queen Mother was wrestling, and there was a small bruise on her waist.
Because the location of this bruise was very special, those imperial doctors didn't find it earlier, and even if someone found out, they didn't dare to take the needle easily, but Ye Lingyue's peak breath was different.
In just a few breaths, that small patch of blood was swallowed up by Dingqi.
"Little girl, you really have some doorways, those old imperial doctors in the palace have tried all kinds of methods, acupuncture, fire cupping, all of which didn't work. But with your skillful push, the mourner felt unobstructed. The Queen Mother relaxed her muscles and bones, and found that her body was suddenly much more flexible.
Earlier, she canonized Ye Lingyue, and it was indeed partly because of Lan Yingwu's relationship, but after talking to Ye Lingyue today, she found that she and this little girl were very close to each other, and the two unknowingly talked about the evening, and the Queen Mother also left her for dinner before letting her go.
"The mourning family hasn't had such a good time chatting with people for many years, you little girl, you are young, and you have a lot of knowledge. There's a token here, and you can take it with you, so you can go in and out of the palace freely in the future. The Queen Mother chatted for an afternoon, and she was a little tired, so she ordered the palace maid to send Ye Lingyue out of the palace.
"Go further, it is the palace gate, the queen mother will wait for the slave to reply, and she will not send the Ye county lord. The palace maid sent Ye Lingyue to the gate of the Baifeng Palace and pointed to a palace gate not far ahead.
Ye Lingyue shook her head, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the palace maid's face, and her expression was a little wrong.
Ye Lingyue frowned, recalling in her mind, if she remembered correctly, this palace maid followed behind Concubine Luo at the Zhongyuan Palace banquet.
