Jiang Xinghua was able to wrap the Shu brocade outside with ordinary palace satin and send it out, but the rewards in the palace were not covered up in this way, so the matter of getting six Shu brocades from the Qunxiang Palace couldn't be hidden.

The queen was reading the account book in Fengyi Palace, and when she turned to this page, she frowned: "Why did the Qunxiang Palace divide six horses?" "Although the emperor rarely goes to the Qunxiang Palace, Wang Chongyuan's grace is not lacking, and there are always good things in the palace, which are indispensable in the Qunxiang Palace. However, this year, Shu Jin didn't get much, Wang Chongyuan is usually four horses, and the extra two horses are actually for Jiang Yunu? Where did she come from with such a big face?

"It's just out of order! A royal maid, also worthy of Shu brocade? Even if you want to reward her again, it's just one horse, why did you send two horses? Who's doing this? ”

Eunuch Li stood on the side, coughed dryly, and said, "The slave maid heard that there is a horse that was rewarded by the Jiang Imperial Maiden to the Jiang Mansion......"

"Jiang Mansion?" The queen was puzzled, "She's generous." How much did the emperor reward her? "There are rules for the clothes of the palace concubines, but you can't look at the rules to live a life, and those who have grace rely on the things rewarded by the emperor to support the façade. With a position like Jiang Xinghua, it is rare to have a Shu brocade tailoring, and it is very dignified to wear it. In total, half of the reward was given for two horses, and the queen had never seen such a generous one, unless she had a lot of things in her hand, which were not rare at all.

Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "The slave and maid have checked the booklet, and there is nothing else, but it is a little more than the share of others." "This is also something that everyone in the palace knows, although the same position is the same in terms of portions, but the things that are actually sent to each person are different in quantity and quality, which is of course the result of the internal affairs office watching people put out dishes.

Jiang Xinghua was the emperor who spoke, and he entered the palace without going through the draft, so the Internal Affairs Office naturally wanted to curry favor with him. However, she has not yet accepted the favor, so this thing is not a little more.

The queen has seen the inner living note, and naturally knows that Jiang Xinghua has not slept yet, speaking of which, it has been a while since she entered the palace, if the emperor really likes her, how can he take her into the palace and leave it behind? The queen's mind always turned quickly in these matters, and she immediately asked: "Just such a horse of Shu brocade, is it a reward for Jiang Taohua?" ”

The Shu brocade that the emperor rewarded to the Qunxiang Hall was delicate in color, obviously only young women were good to use, and it would not be for the wives of the Jiang Mansion, so the queen thought of Taohua as soon as she thought about it, and her face immediately turned a little gloomy: "Did she reward it, or did the emperor borrow her hand?" ”

This Eunuch Li didn't dare to answer. But the more the queen thought about it, the more she said: "It must be the emperor's intention!" Otherwise, how could she, a little maiden, appreciate Shu brocade! She couldn't even read the account book, "A few days ago, you said that it was not timely, and it was not appropriate to mention that incident, but now that these days have passed, you should be able to say it, right?" Prepare a sedan chair and go to Shouxian Palace! ”

There are four charcoal basins in the corner of the hall in the Shouxian Palace, which are burned so that the hall is warm. The Queen Mother suffered a loss of body after contracting malaria, although she always took supplements, she always felt more afraid of the cold than before. As soon as the queen entered, she saw the queen mother wearing a mink jacket, leaning on Nuan Xun to watch the two little palace maids cut wax plum blossoms and insert bottles.

"The queen mother appreciates the flowers, and she doesn't call her sons to come." The queen squeezed out a smile, sat down and pretended to admire it for a while, "This year's wax plum in the flower room is well planted, and it looks like the flowers are bigger than last year's." ”

The Queen Mother was in a good mood today, and she didn't say anything when she came in with an unhappy face, but smiled: "Don't you have it there?" If you think this is good, bring this bottle to you and put it in the temple. ”

"Then the minister will thank the queen mother for the reward." The queen said a few words patiently, and then turned to the topic, "I just looked at the account book, and Neiku has bought some wild ginseng this year, although it is not a hundred-year-old ginseng, but it can still be used." Erchen remembered that Cheng Enbo needed this on weekdays, and was about to ask his mother, but what was there to reward Cheng Enbo, so he took it with him. ”

Speaking of Yu Sirui, the Queen Mother's mood was ruined. Yu Sirui's illness made the matter of Yu clan's desire to give him a step-heir became more and more troublesome. A few days ago, when he was just able to get out of bed, everyone restrained a little, and then found that his illness was like this, and suddenly there was a commotion again. Seeing that it was going to be the end of the year, many people said that they should do this first, so they should find someone to enter the ancestral hall for him in the New Year, so as not to disrespect their ancestors.

This is a major matter for the heirs, even if the queen mother is the most noble woman in a country, she is not surnamed Yu now, and it is not good to interfere in the affairs of the clan, so she can only be bored by herself. Now when I heard the queen mention it again, I couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that a few days ago, I invited a few Langzhong, and they all said that they wanted to recupe......rate," the queen spied on the queen mother's face, and continued, "This recuperation is not a matter of one or two days, and I am afraid that no one in the Chengenbo Mansion who understands medical skills will not succeed." ”

The Queen Mother naturally wanted to get a doctor to stay in Chengenbo's Mansion, but everyone pushed her back - isn't this a joke, Yu Sirui can cure this Cheng dù now, and it can be regarded as the Jiang family's medical skills, no matter how much you make up for it, it is impossible to make up for a lively Chengenbolai, and when the time comes, the Queen Mother will be angry, and whoever will be stained with the lintel. Even among the folk Lang invited outside, he just shook his head when he saw Yu Sirui, no one dared to admit the next, and it was useless how much money the Queen Mother gave.

"Don't I know?" The Queen Mother was so upset when she heard what the queen said today, and she couldn't help but be angry, "Can you find one?" ”

The queen moved to the queen mother's side, and saw that the palace was full of the queen mother's henchmen, so she lowered her voice and said, "Queen Mother, isn't there one in front of you?" Whoever gives Cheng Enbo Zhi will be called to go. ”

"You said Jiang?" The Queen Mother suddenly became even more annoyed, "Don't you know?" She had already said that it couldn't be cured! ”

"The queen mother is not the heart of a son." The queen sneered softly, "Erchen really doesn't believe what she said. Is it really incurable, or is she unwilling to use twelve points of thought? ”

The Queen Mother said with a calm face: "What's the use of saying this? She said that she couldn't be cured, did she still hold a knife on her neck and force her to fail? "Even if the knife holder neck, people say that it can't be treated, you can't help it, after all, Yu Sirui can get out of bed is still her credit.

The queen said confidently: "She is not cured, but because she knows that we can't do anything about her, and whether Cheng Enhou's illness is good or not, what does it have to do with her?" If Cheng Enbo's concubines, which one of them doesn't burn incense and worship the Buddha at night, they beg Cheng Enbo to get better? ”

The Queen Mother was upset when she heard the women of Chengenbo Mansion, but when she heard the end, she suddenly understood what the Queen meant: "You mean-"

The queen smiled proudly: "If she marries into Cheng Enbo's mansion, the queen mother said, will she still treat Cheng Enbo wholeheartedly?" ”

Of course it will! The Queen Mother almost blurted it out. What woman is willing to let her husband be sick like this, doesn't she want to have a son, doesn't she want to establish a foothold in her husband's family? The queen was right, Jiang refused to treat with heart, but because it was not about herself, she was happy to save trouble. If she becomes a member of Chengenbo Mansion, she will have to plan for Yu Sirui! It's just that......

"Do you want to let the Jiang family be Mrs. Cheng Enbo?" In the end, it is the daughter of the pharmacist who is personally sealed by the emperor, and there are still a few concubines surnamed Jiang in the palace.

The queen actually didn't want Taohua to be a beautiful lady, but she also knew that it was impossible to be a concubine, so she had to say: "If you let her be a wife, you will do your best if you want to." "It's okay, if you become a wife, you can cut off the emperor's mind forever.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and reluctantly nodded: "You are right. ”

"And when will the queen mother give her marriage?"

When it comes to marriage, the Queen Mother is a little hesitant. I also know that the Jiang family will not be reluctant to this marriage, if it is carried out regardless of the hard decree, the matter can be done, but it will inevitably be realized. Now the queen is still being criticized for her heirs, if the queen mother also makes a fuss, it is not a good thing for the family after all: "This thing must be done in the right name." ”

Eunuch Li half-hunched his waist, took a slight step forward, and said in a low voice: "The slave is bold, and I have a shallow ......."

The Queen Mother glanced at him: "Say." ”

Eunuch Li's waist bent down a little more, and he smiled in a low voice: "The slave maid thinks, the Queen Mother might as well summon Jiang's mother into the palace and say a matchmaker for Cheng Enbo." With such a family affair, I was very happy to come to the Jiang family. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him: "You are smart." "This is actually a forced matchmaker, but as long as Jiang's mother agrees, it will not be true," It's just that what if the Jiang family doesn't agree? ”

Eunuch Li said with a smile on his face: "The slave maid heard that Jiang Cao's mother, Jiang Cao, is the stepfamily. "How can a steproom fight against the queen mother for the sake of his stepdaughter? As long as she relents and agrees, this is a legitimate family business.

"You know that?" A smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face, "I know a lot." ”

Eunuch Li hunched his waist and said with a smile: "The slave and maid are the eyes and ears of the master, so you have to know more so that you don't eat the master's food in vain......"

The Queen Mother was amused by him: "Reward him." ”

Eunuch Li hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. The queen said with great interest: "When will the queen mother summon the Jiang family into the palace?" "There are many dreams at night, so it is natural to do it early and be good.

The Queen Mother also thought so, and after a deep sigh, she said: "It's okay if it's decided before the year, so let someone announce them." ”

In the past, the Jiang family entered the harem first by handing over a sign to ask for a meeting, and only after getting permission from the palace could they enter the palace on the designated day, and no one had ever been summoned by the queen mother. When the will came to the Jiang family, Xiao Shi's heart suddenly became a little uncomfortable, but he still had to come over with a smile on his face to tell him.

Cao Shi was worried: "I, I have never entered the palace, why does the Queen Mother want to see me?" ”

Xiao Shi sneered in his heart: No matter what it is for, it is obviously because of Taohua. said with a smile: "Look at what my brother and sister said, what is it for, this is also a face-saving thing." The car in the palace is waiting outside, and my younger siblings are not ready to change their clothes, so I will tell my younger siblings a few words about the rules of the palace - hey, in fact, Sister Tao has entered the palace several times, and it is right for my younger siblings to follow her when the time comes. ”

Taohua was also a little confused by the Queen Mother's sudden attack, and Mint complained while helping her change her clothes and comb her hair: "I will summon her, and I don't know what is going on." Wouldn't it be to let the girl go to Cheng Enbo for treatment? ”

"I'm afraid there's nothing else to do but that." Taohua frowned, "It's just, if it's for this, why do you even have to summon your wife?" "Could it be that the Queen Mother thought that she could persuade the Cao family to cure Yu Sirui?

"Anyway, it's not good." Mint muttered, put a jewel hairpin on the peach hairpin, and hurriedly went to change her clothes - although she was probably not qualified to enter the palace gate, but to go unneatly dressed was disrespectful to the Queen Mother.

The carriage in the palace was waiting outside the gate, and two small attendants with the carriage stood under the carriage. Cao and Taohua both had maids to help them get into the car, but they didn't need them, but one of the little chamberlains stepped forward quickly and grabbed Taohua in front of Mint.

Mint never expected to have this hand, and was squeezed to the back in a daze, Taohua was also taken aback, and was about to shake off the little waiter, when he heard him say in a low voice and hurriedly: "The queen mother wants the girl to marry Cheng Enbo, and the girl should take precautions." ”

Taohua was taken aback, and turned her head to look at him as she was helped into the car. At this glance, she suddenly remembered that when she treated the Queen Mother for malaria, there were also two people in the palace who were sick, and they also used cinchona bark. Later, one of them discharged black urine, and it was not this little waiter who rushed to deliver the message!

At this time, she couldn't think about why this person would send her a message, Taohua turned back to find Mint, and wanted her to go to the county king's mansion to send a letter to Shen Shu, but the eunuch who came to announce the decree said in a dark voice: "Girl, hurry up, don't let the Queen Mother wait for a long time." With a wave of his hand, the other attendant gently pushed the mint and pushed the mint onto the car.

Taohua glanced out when the curtain was lowered, and the little inner supervisor who had just delivered the message was anxious, but he could only bow his head and follow the carriage to the palace-it seemed that it was impossible to find someone to report to Shen Shu.

The carriage swayed gently. The eunuchs in the palace had a good skill in driving the carriage, and they could hardly feel the bumps, but the people in the carriage had their own thoughts, and none of them could relax.

Taohua sat leaning on the carriage, and her mind was completely chaotic for a while. In this era, the prince of heaven and earth is a teacher, and the king is only under heaven and earth, and he has the power of life and death. It can be said that if the Queen Mother wants her to marry Cheng Enbo, then she will have almost no room for resistance, which is why the little chamberlain was so anxious but helpless just now.

What to do? Could it be that she really wants to get married? If you don't marry, it's a rebellion. Taohua can completely imagine that if she refuses, there is no need for the Queen Mother to say anything, Jiang Jun and his wife may have to put pressure on her first, and maybe Jiang Zhu, because none of them will want to be implicated. Only Jiang Xi would resist for her, but the result was ...... The result is just that the whole family is upside down.

Mint didn't hear what the little waiter said, but she could see that Taohua was a little flustered, so she gently pulled Taohua's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, girl, let's enter the palace, you must know over there......"

When she said that, she was referring to the county king's mansion.

This sentence is as if Taohua has been injected with a sedative-yes, as long as she enters the palace, Shen Shu will definitely arrive soon, and he will definitely find a way!

People are like that sometimes. When you know that someone is going to be standing next to you, there are many things that you think you can't do, and suddenly you can do it all at once. Taohua suddenly felt that she was sober at this moment, and she didn't know which corner she was thrown into in the panic just now, and she could think again.

She couldn't wait for Shen Shu to come to her rescue, at least not completely passively. Shen Shu might be able to interrupt this matter, but if the wood is already in the boat, he will have to pay a heavy price for whatever he wants to do. Therefore, she must find a way to dispel the Queen Mother's thoughts, at least to delay time, before Shen Shu arrives, she can't let the Queen Mother settle this matter!

However, how can the Queen Mother dismiss her mind? Most importantly, why did the Queen Mother have this idea? Speaking of which, if Yu Sirui wants to marry a wife, the Queen Mother will not be able to pick her even if she picks all over the capital, right? It is good for a husband and wife to marry two families, to put it bluntly, it is to connect the interests of the two families, so what interests does she have to be favored by the Yu family? What can she do to help Yu Sirui, help him heal?

As if a flash of inspiration and suddenly brightened, Taohua felt that she understood everything, it turned out that the Queen Mother was fighting this idea! It's really ridiculous, do you think that if she becomes a Yu housewife, she will die for Yu Sirui's illness? Are you kidding! Let this guy who bullies men and women live the rest of his life honestly!

Mint watched with some concern on the side, until he found that Taohua's expression was a little more relaxed, although her lips were pursed, her brows had loosened a little, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know what her girl was thinking just now, she had an idea.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the Cao family was already a little nervous. Taohua got out of the carriage first, stretched out her hand to help her down, and said in a low voice: "After entering the palace for a while, too much will the wife listen to and say, if the queen mother has anything to say-" She paused, grabbed Cao's hand and tightened it tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. should think about it first, don't make your own decisions!" ”

Taohua is no weaker than those weak girls who have no power to tie the chicken, as soon as her hands are tight, Cao's wrists are scratched a little painfully, and she suddenly came back to her senses: "Sister Tao-"

Taohua raised a finger to her lips, made a silent gesture, and then let go of her hand, pulled the crumpled sleeve for Cao's family, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, Mrs. remembers my words." "It's not that she wants to threaten the Cao family, and the Cao family is already nervous like this now, and when she arrives at the Shouxian Palace for a while, I'm afraid she will only say "yes, yes, yes", no matter what the Queen Mother says, she will never use her brains, Taohua can't trust her!

In the Shouxian Palace, sure enough, there were only the Queen Mother and the Queen, and the palace people led the Cao family and Taohua in and gave a big gift first. Cao Shi was so nervous that his whole body stiffened, and his movements were a little deformed, but there was no major gaffe.

The Queen Mother was very gentle, first gave a seat, and then even talked to the Cao family for a few words, which made the Cao family slowly relax.

Taohua didn't dare to relax at all. Although she sat with her head slightly down, she always observed the Queen Mother and the Queen with her spare eyes. The Queen Mother's face was calm, and she couldn't see anything unusual at all, but the queen was not so deep, no matter how Taohua looked at it, she felt that her eyes flashed with a malicious and happy light, and she looked at the palace gate from time to time, as if waiting for a good show to be staged.

The Queen Mother chatted for a few words, and as soon as the topic changed, she talked about Taohua: "...... She is both skilled in medicine and polite in her ability to speak - I heard that she was only ten years old when you entered the door, and you must have been very attentive to this day. ”

Cao Shi glanced at Taohua with some embarrassment, and reluctantly smiled: "The Queen Mother has won the award...... "How can she have the ability to teach Taohua anything."

This heart is too empty, the palace is full of human sperm, which one can't see it? The smile on the queen mother's face deepened, sure enough, the news of Li Neijian was good, Jiang's stepmother didn't care about her at all, so she must not be hindered more in her family affairs?

"Speaking of which, it is really rare for her daughter's family to know medical skills, not to mention that her medical skills are so superb, even the envoy of the Tai Hospital admits that she is not as good as ......" The Queen Mother glanced at Taohua with a smile, and saw that she lowered her head as if she was very docile, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, pretending to look like this, can you hide the fact that she is untamed? Wait until this wild horse without a halter is enclosed into the Chengenbo Mansion and see what else you can do!

"Where can I compare with the imperial doctors......" Cao Shi hurriedly humbled himself.

"Why can't it be compared?" The Queen Mother smiled, "If it wasn't for her before, Cheng Enbo would still be lying in bed now." Now that the emperor wants to send a imperial doctor to take care of Cheng Enbo, I muttered in my heart, can it be useful? I don't know how these people got into the hospital in the first place. ”

Taohua can almost guess what the Queen Mother will say next, and she must first propose to let her take care of Yu Sirui, but how can a woman who has not been out of the cabinet take care of a man closely, so whether the Cao family agrees or disagrees, the Queen Mother can take advantage of the situation to propose marriage.

I can't let the Queen Mother go on! Momoka leaned forward and cleared her throat gently.

"Jiang, do you have anything to say?" The queen has been watching a good show with malice, and at this time, she saw that Taohua suddenly coughed, and she thought that she was a little out of order, so she immediately opened her mouth.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly. She wanted to finish her words in one go, without giving Taohua time to react, but when the queen suddenly spoke, she could only stop and wait for Taohua's answer.

"Yes." Taohua owed, still bowing her head slightly, "In fact, it is the safest for the emperor to choose the imperial doctor in the palace to take care of Cheng Enbo." ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "They can't even cure Cheng Enbo's illness, is this also safe?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words-" Taohua still hung her head slightly, "Doctors, medical ethics first, medical skills second." The Tai Hospital chooses people to serve the nobles in the palace, and it is necessary to choose benevolent and upright people, otherwise—" She dragged out her voice a little, "Medicine can save people, but it can also kill people invisibly, if the mind is not right, even if the medical skills are extraordinary, who would dare to use it?" After all, sometimes it may be a little less or more medicine, and when acupuncture is slightly changed, a person will die silently without a trace......
