Gao Lianxi, as the head of Yuehua Palace, of course knew that although the medicine was precious and the master's medical skills were high, the profit of two thousand seven hundred taels was full. But for the bonus at the end of the month, he also did not change his face.

The emperor connived at her, also because of his own son. She said it was for his son, but could the emperor not allow it? The emperor knew that it was not her son. The emperor was not without suspicions, but after her death, the emperor gave in a lot. Now he dares to prescribe a prescription for a foreign man.

Xie Zhixiao looked at the IOU, and then signed and pressed his handprint under Gao Lianxi's guidance.

Hua Rongying said again: "Master Hou, we also have good ginseng, deer antler velvet and other tonic here, you have injured your vitality, you need tonic the most, why don't you take a look?"

Some of the precious medicines are the tribute of Xuanyuan Ling Heng's reward, or the rest of them for the third prince to recuperate his body, and they will be wasted if they are not used for a long time, and she herself is too young to use them, and ordinary palace people cannot afford to use them. If it is sold for one or two percent more expensive, it is cost-effective to sell, and the silver retains its value. But in the palace, how can there be a good customer, and finally met a sick rich man, and it just so happened that she did treat his injuries and make some money.

Xie Zhixiao's eyes widened slightly, and he lowered his head again, and said, "Weichen...... There are still in the house. ”

At this time, the doctor girl boiled a bowl of medicine and sent it, and seeing that he was still stunned, Hua Langying looked like a master and nodded at him.

Xie Zhixiao drank a bowl of bitter medicine, finally sobered up a little, and said, "Thank you, Weichen, for your kindness......"

"Healers are benevolent...... My medicines are not cheap, and the doctors and women also have to eat, and the consultation money will be delivered early. ”

"Wechen didn't dare to be in arrears for too long. ”

"This palace looks at Hou Ye as a gentleman, and the most important credibility is not seen by ordinary people in this palace. You take care of it, not to mention living to be eighty years old, as long as there are no accidents, there is no problem at the age of seventy. ”

The doctor girl wrapped eleven sticks of medicine, broke them in two, and even gave him the prescription she prescribed, and when he went back, one piece of medicine was boiled into a bowl with three bowls of water over a warm fire.

Hua Langying saw that his face was strange, and said that he was too expensive or distrustful, so he couldn't help but say: "You can't buy my 'Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill' and 'Tianxiang Intermittent Glue' elsewhere for ten thousand taels of silver." The raw materials are extremely rare, and I made a few bottles in total, and I sold them to you depending on your identity. The emperor is not rewarding you with 10,000 gold, but you want to use it, how important is money. ”

Weichen didn't mean that. He secretly thought: You are the only one who always surprises and worries me, when do I care about money?

"It's good if you don't have it, you will know when you use it, you get what you pay for. ”

With that, she stood up, asked Gao Lianxi to see off the guests, and went back to the living room by herself.

When Xie Zhixiao left the palace, the whole person was still floating, carrying the medicine and laughing stupidly.

When I returned to the Marquis of Su Yi's Mansion, I also took a "Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill", but I felt that the fragrance was striking, and I felt a lot of luck after taking it. He asked the elder to change the dressing for him, and after disinfecting the spirits, he applied the trauma medicine, and sure enough, he felt that it was very effective.

After changing the medicine, he was standing in the courtyard, looking at a peach blossom tree, thinking about her and smiling. Until the housekeeper brought a steward of the Zhenguo Mansion and said that the Duchess of Zhenguo was sick.

He is the eldest son of the Zhenguo Mansion, but he rarely lives there, and in his early years he went to Bachu to heal and learn art, and then became the companion of the King of Yu, and then he did things for the King of Yu, and then fought against the Khitan. During the coup d'état, he also followed Xuanyuan Lingheng, he was an important chess piece to balance the power of the original Jin king, and in the next few years, relying on military merits and Xuanyuan Lingheng's favor, he was a young marquis after Wei Wuji, and he had his own marquis mansion.

So, he really doesn't spend much time with his parents.

The Duchess of Zhenguo summoned him back to the house, of course, for his family affairs, he is twenty-seven years old this year, many people have children at this age, but only he is single, and he has resisted marriage and escaped marriage since he was twenty years old, which broke his parents' hearts. Fortunately, he has always been busy with official business, and the Duchess of Zhenguo often can't find others.

When I returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, I went to Mrs. Xie's Murong house to ask for peace, but I saw that the Duchess of Zhenguo was still picturesque, only slightly powdered, and wore a purple waist-length skirt.

In addition to the maid and the maid, there is also a beautiful and lovely girl by her side, but she is sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pair of smart big eyes, and her demeanor is elegantly dressed, and she is by no means a girl in the house.

After Xie Zhixiao asked for peace, the Duchess of Zhenguo introduced: "Ling'er, this is your eldest cousin. ”

The girl named Ling'er blessed him and greeted him: "Hello, eldest cousin." ”

Xie Zhixiao hugged his fists in return, and the Duchess of Zhenguo said: "This is the third lady of your second aunt's mother-in-law's fourth aunt's wife, the Situ family is a big family in Hedong, Ling'er knows books, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them are fine, don't slack off." ”

Xie Zhixiao said with a smile: "Cousin Situ is here in Zhongdu, but you have to have a good time, just about the same age as the second brother, let the second brother take it everywhere to play." ”

Xie Zhixiao learns martial arts, while Xie Zhihua, who is ten years younger, has average martial arts, but his writing is excellent.

Situ Ling'er's face turned red, bowed his head and was silent, and the Duchess of Zhenguo scolded: "You bastard! Your brother is going to participate in the scientific examination, where is the time now?" (Note: Because the author's brain capacity is very limited, he came up with some names, which were mixed before, and at the beginning he wrote that Mrs. Yiling was called Situ Ling'er, and later changed it to "Liu Yiyi". ）

Xie Zhixiao said with a smile: "People like us, what kind of scientific expedition do we participate in, and the title in the mansion will be inherited by the second brother in the future." is to find someone to recommend, can the emperor not give a grace?"

Duchess Zhenguo said: "When the emperor was the emperor, there was a rule that 'civil officials are not allowed to enter the cabinet unless they take scientific examinations', and you expect your younger brother to be inferior to you everywhere!"

Xie Zhixiao sat beside his mother, stroked her back and gave her a good breath, and said, "How can the child have this intention?"

The Duchess of Zhenguo said: "I am not in good health, you have come back from the border pass, and the emperor will not let you lead troops out of the Central Capital again recently, you are so good to entertain Ling'er." ”

Xie Zhixiao said: "I'm a big man and won't take care of little girls. ”

Situ Ling'er suddenly said: "Big cousin, I'm not a little girl......"

Duchess Zhenguo has always been keen to see her daughter-in-law, Situ Ling'er was seen when she returned to her parents' house, when Ling'er followed her aunt (Mrs. Xie's sister) to her mother's house. My aunt has no daughters, and in recent years she has lived in her grandfather's house, and her aunt treats her as a daughter. The Duchess of Zhenguo and her aunt are sisters, and they have intentions when they come and go, but this is not explicitly stated.

The Duchess of Zhenguo knew her son's temper, and if she didn't nod her head, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to find the groom on the day of marriage. She will definitely take Situ Ling'er back to Zhongdu to play, this top-notch girl everywhere must always attract her son's attention, right?

Xie Zhixiao said: "Mother, I am returning to Beijing, and there are many official duties, and there is still a lot of grinding about the demarcation of Annan and the matter of paying tribute. Today, my father and I entered the palace to hand over military power, but the emperor insisted on letting me control it first. ”

Duchess Zhenguo said, "Why is this?"

Xie Zhixiao smiled bitterly and said the word "Wei" silently, and the Duchess of Zhenguo didn't ask more.

Xie Zhixiao said: "I'll go and see my father, by the way, what's wrong with my mother's health." "After the prince of Zhenguo faced the saint, he left the palace first.

The Duchess of Zhenguo said: "I always have a cough, but fortunately, Ling'er accompanies me to relieve my boredom." ”

Xie Zhixiao asked the imperial doctor again what he said and what medicine he used, and the Duchess of Zhenguo also briefly said them one by one, so Xie Zhixiao was relieved.

Exited the house, breathed a sigh of relief, and went to find Zhen Guogong, and did not mention it.

……

Hua Langying spent her days in the palace like a canary, but for several days, every day there were always eunuchs from the Daming Palace who were ordered to send something, sometimes jewelry, sometimes or just a plate of pastries in the imperial dining room, saying that the emperor wanted someone to send it to her.

Recently, Xuanyuan Ling Heng has also been in her palace for a long time, and she is busy with government affairs during the day, so she has to summon ministers, so it is inconvenient to be in Yuehua Palace. Staying at the other palace concubines at night, Wei Guifei was much more favored than her.

A man with a weak heart naturally shows a lot of goodwill, but he still has this idea of a weak heart, which is rare for him, but for her, it is quite ordinary.

The third prince went to the study, and during the day she practiced medicine and read books to live, but fortunately, the medicine in the hospital did not dare not sell it to her.

In the afternoon of this day, Xuanyuan Ling Heng rarely came, and she also mentioned her interest in accompaniment, the two were playing chess, and suddenly heard Wang Shi'an come to report, saying that the eunuch next to Zhen Shuyi came to ask to see.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng frowned slightly, and Hua Rongying smiled: "I'm afraid there is something important, come in." "This is in her palace, and it is not offensive for her to speak first.

Xiao Lizi came into the house, greeted the emperor and her, and kowtowed again to report the good news: "Your Majesty, Zhen Shuyi asked for a pulse today, and she is two months pregnant." ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said: "Does the queen know?"

Xiao Lizi said: "Xiao Dezi went to the queen to report, and the queen also rewarded the master with a lot of things, and the master Zhen sent a slave to report to the emperor." ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng played a white chess piece in his hand, and said lightly: "I know, go back and take care of your master." ”

After Xiao Lizi left, Xuanyuan Ling Heng glanced at Hua Rongying, who was holding a black jade chess piece between the index finger and middle finger of her right hand, because the black color set off the grace of her hand.

Heizi robbed the white dragon of a hole, and when Xuanyuan Ling Heng saw it, he paused and held the white chess to fight with him.

Until nearly two quarters of an hour, the white chess piece was almost a move, and he was angry, Xuanyuan Ling Heng put down the chess piece and said: "Aifei chess is extraordinary, next time I want you to play white chess." ”

Hua Langying smiled: "Luck!"

Saying that, he took a sip of tea, and Xuanyuan Ling Heng suddenly said: "Concubine Ai is also seventeen years old, if she can give birth to a prince, it would be good." ”

Hua Rongying smiled and said: "There are three sons to accompany the concubine, and the concubine is not in a hurry. ”

"It's better for a woman to have a child of her own. ”

Hua Langying said: "It doesn't matter so much whether you are biological or not, but maybe you haven't experienced the joys and troubles of a mother in this life, and life is incomplete in the eyes of others." And the concubines, thanks to the emperor's grace, also got this pleasure and trouble. ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said: "You are not happy. ”

Hua Rongying smiled: "No, the emperor is too worried." ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng saw that the eunuch and palace maid retreated, and said warmly: "In my heart, Zhen Shuyi is not comparable to you. ”

Hua Langying smiled: "The concubine knows." ”

……

Xuanyuan Ling Heng left Yuehua Palace by chariot, Wang Shi'an originally thought that he was going to Zhen Shuyi, but Xuanyuan Ling Heng said: "Go to the queen." ”

Halfway through, he said, "Go back to Daming Palace." ”

But on the way back, passing near Yuehua Palace, he stopped again, and he went in again, but he was on the swing in the backyard, and only Ruozhu was by his side.

Suddenly, Ruozhu exclaimed: "Niangniang, why are you crying?"

Hua Langying said: "The wind is blowing in the eyes." ”

Ruozhu said: "Niangniang, the slave maid entered the palace with you, why do you lie to the slave maid?"

Hua Rongying said: "Fool, what did I lie to you. ”

Ruozhu said angrily: "The slave knows that the mother is unhappy, the emperor has not come to the palace recently, and that annoying Zhen Shuyi is pregnant with a child." ”

"That's what you can say?"

Ruozhu said: "Why should Niangniang be sad, Niangniang will snatch the emperor back, if Niangniang wants to rob the emperor, who can rob it?"

Hua Langying laughed, but there was not much joy, and sighed lightly: "If a man relies on robbery, what is so rare? ”

Ruozhu said: "If the mother doesn't rob it, then let others be proud." ”

Hua Langying sighed: "This harem is like this, no one is always proud. ”

Ruozhu said: "Then Niangniang will become the one who is proud to the end." ”

Hua Rongying was stunned and smiled, but said, "What a fool." ”

Ruozhu said, "Where is the slave and maid stupid?"

Hua Langying sighed: "Okay, I'm stupid. ”

"The slave didn't say that the mother was stupid. ”

"I'm really stupid, I love to deceive myself and ask for things that are ethereal. ”

"The slave doesn't understand. ”

Hua Rongying smiled softly and said, "It's better that you don't understand." ”

Hua Rongying listened to the inaudible footsteps and left, pursed her lips, a light flashed in her eyes, and she disappeared in an instant.

……

Fu Qiuli thought that the emperor just couldn't stay overnight, and he would come to see her in the near future, and she was sure that she had been in the palace for many years, and she had been neglected for two years because of Concubine De. Fu Qiuli understands that men, such as the one in Yuehua Palace, have beauty advantages that are difficult for others to match, but she also has a disadvantage, that is, she is too proud.

A man is like a child, and he also has a fragile side, and she Fu Qiuli can make men psychologically comfortable and relaxed. The junior in "The First Half of My Life" does not have a beautiful and young wife, but a man still needs such a harbor when he is tired, not to mention that she Fu Qiuli is young and beautiful, and her mother's family has to use it, so she seized such an opportunity.

But she waited for three days, and the reward was there, but the emperor never came to her palace, and it happened to be the fifteenth day of March, and she went to the queen to say goodbye.

The concubines arrived one step earlier, and because she was pregnant, she didn't have a step because of her low grade, so she came for a walk slowly.

After she asked for peace, Queen Wang said: "Zhen Shuyi is pregnant, and the palace has exempted you from coming to ask for peace, why are you here again? ”

Fu Qiuli said: "Concubine Xie Queen Niangniang's care, although the concubine is pregnant, but under the care of Niangniang, her body is excellent, this gift cannot be abolished, as long as she can move, she should come to greet Niangniang." ”

Concubine Jin smiled: "Queen Mother, you see that Zhen Shuyi is really polite. ”

Concubine Rou said: "It is also the queen's mother who is kind and generous, as long as she has a conscience, she will naturally be grateful and will not overstep." ”

Concubine Shu said: "Recently, our dynasty has also been full of happy events, this southern victory has just been sacrificed, and Zhen Shuyi has a body." ”

Concubine Qian smiled: "Speaking of which, isn't Zhen Shuyi's birth a lucky star?"

Fu Qiuli was a little nervous, she was happy in her heart, this revenge was pregnant, the reason why she chose to make it public was because since the birth of the fourth prince two years ago, there were no children in the palace, and she guessed that the emperor would keep the child. Moreover, she also has to gamble, stick to this point in time, try to be auspicious, and let the emperor pay more attention to this child.

However, no one in this palace is a fool. Gambling is always risky, but if you don't gamble, you don't have a chance to win. In case this time the emperor is getting the rain and dew to get wet and it ends again, in case she is no longer the best years, the emperor doesn't like it anymore, and it will be even more difficult for her to get pregnant.

The concubines really looked at her stomach with their eyes, and their eyes were flat, but it was difficult to say what was in their hearts.

Hua Rongying sat on the side, couldn't help yawning, and overheard Empress Wang say: "There are happy events in the court, the emperor is wise and martial, the soldiers in front use their lives, and the Chinese courtiers use their strength." ”

Zhen Shuyi hurriedly said: "What the queen mother said is even, the concubine is just a little bit of the blessing of the emperor and the mother." ”

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the Northern Army is also about to return to the court." ”

Wei Wushuang glanced at Concubine Xian, in fact, he had a lot of disdain for her, the original Li family was too different from her Wei family. The Wei family traces back to the Wei royal family during the Warring States period, and later became prominent in the former Sui period, with three pillar generals.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty was also the main family to resist foreign enemies. Later, she was attached to Ohara and was named the hereditary Dingguo Gong, until her father was the fourth generation of Dingguo Gong. Although the Li family is said to be a member of the top ten families of the previous dynasty, the virtuous concubine is not a descendant, otherwise she would not have been a side concubine to King Yu back then. At that time, Miss Li Jiachangzhi married King Jin as the princess of the main family.

Wei Wushuang said: "It should be soon." How many people are frightened of the Khitan, and they are not afraid of their father and brother. After fighting a hundred years of war with the north, when was the man of my Wei family absent? The man of the Wei family has never been afraid. ”

Hua Langying's eyelids lifted, and she secretly thought: Why did she say it with pride, did she want to appear rampant? Or was it the power of the original book that allowed her to climb to the top and fall again?

Hua Langying said: "Protecting the family and defending the country are worthy of admiration, a general will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, not only outstanding generals, but also those soldiers who are buried in other places should also be commemorated." ”

Zhen Shuyi raised her eyes and glanced at Hua Langying, and secretly thought: What kind of force is this crossing girl pretending to be.

Yes, three years later, Zhen Shuyi still sees that Hua Langying is a wearer, because on the birthday of the third son of the emperor, she made a cake for the princes and princesses to eat, and sang a birthday song. Although there is no modern oven, she also makes an oven that works eighty percent, and also makes homemade cream and pudding, which are loved by all princes and princesses.

Zhen Shuyi was very careful to hide herself, and she didn't like the showy crossing girl like Hua Rongying, but she didn't dare to be careless.

Wei Wushuang said: "My father and brother have always cherished soldiers. ”

Hua Rongying said: "Of course I believe that a marshal who does not cherish his soldiers will not win the war." ”

But there is also a saying that "mercy is not in charge of the army", she did not say that winning a war always has a price, especially in the era of cold weapons.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In fact, Hua Langying will still use means against the emperor, but she is not taking the route of a virtuous person. It's petty. If you want to say virtuous, the queen is the most virtuous, but although the emperor respects it, he is not too relieved.

And Fu Qiuli is coquettish and lovely, a little cute, considerate and innocent and not aggressive, this kind of woman is actually what men like, look at those seven-point texts, almost the heroine, even if she is the first beauty in the world, her personality is like this in the end.

Hua Langying is a gender twist, of course, only for the emperor, the special environment of the harem. She doesn't want to be virtuous, there are people who can't be coquettish, who are as arrogant and foundationless as a concubine.
