Princess Anjun entered the palace again after confinement, which naturally attracted the jealous or envious eyes of the concubines and concubines in the whole palace. Especially when they saw the white and red cheeks and the smile between their eyebrows, everyone was even more bitter in their hearts - this is not something that fat powder can make, and it must be true that life is satisfactory in order to develop such a good complexion.

The queen was even more angry. Naturally, she also uses a glass mirror from the West in the palace, but recently she has become more and more unwilling to use this kind of mirror, it is really this thing that is too clear, anyone who sees a dark yellow face in the mirror will be annoyed, that is, it is covered with fat powder, and it is bright when it comes out, but it can't be deceived in his heart. I always feel as if I have become a fruit that is rotten in my heart, although it looks good on the outside, it is slowly rotten and bigger on the inside......

Syllable!

The crisp sound made the queen come back to her senses suddenly, only to find that she had slapped the teacup in her hand on the next table at some point, and the sound made the concubines below suddenly silent, all looking at her.

The queen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked down at her hands. She didn't want to put the teacup so heavily just now, but in a moment, the anger jumped up, and she didn't know what she was doing.

"This tea is getting old." In a hurry, the queen could only come up with this excuse.

The tea was already delivered, and she drank half of it, and then she said that she was old, who would believe it? Concubine Yuan Shu smiled first, lowered her head elegantly and took a sip of the tea in the cup, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Fang didn't think it yet, as soon as the queen said this, she also felt that this tea was indeed older." ”

It's better to go along with this than not to go along with it. The queen's heart was on fire, and she blurted out: "Concubine Shu can also taste tea now, which can be seen to be a benefit." ”

This is a blatant mockery. Who doesn't know that Concubine Yuan Shu's family background is not good, she has never drunk any good tea before entering the palace, let alone water, where do you know what is old.

Concubine Yuan Shu smiled widely: "Yes." It's all thanks to the good water and tea given by the emperor, and the concubines also have their strengths. ”

This is even more of a naked-naked riposte. What if the family background is not good, there is the emperor's favor, and the emperor is willing to take good tea and water to raise it, and live and move the qi to nourish the body, but now it is not as good as before.

The concubines in the hall didn't even dare to come out, and they lowered their heads to drink tea one by one, eager to see two holes in the bottom of the teacup.

Momoka was carefully observing the queen. Since the emperor mentioned to her the change in the queen's temper, she was fine during pregnancy, and she often pondered it, not only recalled the knowledge of her previous life, but also found some medical cases in this era to read, so she was quite suspicious, the queen was mentally wrong, not just temperamental.

Mental problems, commonly known as mental illness, are known as madness in Chinese medicine. Epilepsy refers to melancholic psychosis, while madness generally refers to manic psychosis.

The clinical manifestations of epilepsy are generally listlessness, lazy behavior, emotional indifference, and poor thinking. This is mainly because depression hurts the liver, and liver qi stagnation will hurt the spleen, resulting in imbalance of transport, phlegm and qi reversal, and the emphasis is on Taiyin.

Mania is different from it, it is generally manifested as anger and mania, serious and even destroying things and hurting people, running naked and running wildly, belonging to the liver, heart, and stomach of the real fire type. This kind of frustration and anger hurt the liver and gallbladder, causing phlegm and fire to disturb and close the mind, which is a sign of yang heat.

And sometimes the symptoms of irritability and depression will appear at the same time, repeatedly, which is a half-real and half-virtual disease.

Taohua once roughly analyzed the queen's life in the past 30 years.

The Yu clan has long planned for the queen's position, so the girls of the queen's generation are said to have received a strict education. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, grooming and manners are all taught by special gentlemen, which can be regarded as elite education. Even if the queen's behavior is very out of tune now, from her usual gestures, you can still see her elegant posture, which must be the result of her education back then.

Of course, elite education cannot but be said to be a good thing, but a little girl who is only seven or eight years old exerts such a burden, and if there is no proper guidance, the pressure cannot be vented, and it will also cause psychological hidden dangers.

Whether the queen was left with psychological hidden dangers by this kind of education at that time, it is hard to say, her biggest change should be after she got married and entered the palace.

Being inpregnant for more than ten years is a great psychological burden on any woman who wants to have children, especially in this era, and especially - the queen needs a son very much, which is not only related to herself, but also her entire family.

After living under this heavy pressure for more than ten years, what will happen to the queen's mentality? Momoka carefully observed the queen's face.

The queen's complexion is dull, which is a reflection of long-term psychological stress on the body. Anger hurts the liver, sorrows the lungs, and thoughts hurt the spleen. The queen herself is not pregnant, so she can't help but be jealous of the pregnant concubines. Because he is not favored, he can't help but be angry with the emperor. Because we have no children, we cannot help but feel anxious about our future position. Because the heart is restless, it cannot be thought day and night, and there is no moment of peace.

The seven emotions are extreme, and they will damage the human body. And the damage of the five internal organs will be reflected in the emotional intelligence. After more than ten years of such a vicious circle, it is not surprising that the queen's temperament has changed greatly. The question is just how sick she is.

For example, just now, it was clear that no one was talking to the queen, the queen was just looking at her, so she suddenly slapped the teacup on a few cases, and she was startled after the voice sounded, which was obviously that some emotions and actions were already crazy and uncontrollable, and they did it unconsciously.

Maniac? Momoka lowered her eyes and looked at the teacup in her hand. According to the emperor, when the queen first entered the palace, she still looked like a lady, her manners were peaceful, her speech was elegant, and her temperament seemed to be a little demure. But I don't know when she began to act without scruples, and openly designed a miscarriage of pregnant concubines, which has reached the level of blatantness. But once there is something to do, it will be like a rabbit and frightened, and the whole thing will be cowardly!

Is this kind of performance, which sounds a little contradictory, because the queen is just a fox and a fake tiger, or because her spirit has initially gone wrong?

Taohua's contemplation missed a few words between the queen and Concubine Yuan Shu, and by the time she woke up from her contemplation, the concubines had already gotten up to retire. The queen was squinting at her: "What does Princess Anjun think?" Yesterday, Brother Xu'er was full moon, and the palace heard that Prince Cheng's mansion only gave gifts but didn't go? ”

This sentence is strangely annoying. The relationship between Prince Cheng's Mansion and Anjun Wangfu is a bit awkward now, everyone knows it. And Prince Cheng just died a son, don't say that the husband and wife are not in the mood to see other people's newborn sons, even if they just say that the child has just died, in fact, it is not appropriate to go to any full moon banquet, it is always a little unlucky. So they can't be polite, but it's actually good for everyone. However, when the queen said this, it was as if there was some deep hatred, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

But Taohua won't be angry about this kind of thing, just smiled slightly: "Niangniang is really well-informed." The courtiers obeyed the emperor's order, and they also wanted to go to the Qiuliang Hall to see the little prince, so they retired first. ”

When the queen heard the words "by the emperor's order", she became annoyed again, saw that there were no outsiders in the palace, dropped another tea cup casually, gritted her teeth and said: "Go and see, whether the emperor is also going to the Qiuliang Palace!" ”

Now, as long as Taohua enters the palace, the queen must inquire about the emperor's whereabouts. The palace people of Fengyi Palace already knew about the queen's habit, so they didn't need the queen's orders, they had already inquired first, and someone replied at this time: "The emperor has already gone to the Qiuliang Hall before the tea time." ”

With a snap, the cup holders on several cases also went to superbirth.

In the Qiuliang Palace, the laughter of the little prince Shen Hui was like a little hen, and the sound was endless. He was just sitting up now, but as soon as he was distracted, the whole person would be tilted back with his head back. The maids were afraid that he would fall, and they held their heads behind him, and he himself thought it was very funny, and he poured it again and again, and he never got tired of it.

Taohua smiled when she saw him like this: "So energetic, there is no problem." ”

The emperor stood beside him with his hands in his hands, and looked at Shen Hui with a smile on his face: "When will you bring Brother Xu into the palace to show me." ”

Taohua thought for a while: "Wait until he is over 100 years old." Now it's too young to go out casually. ”

"When he can come, Brother Hui should be gone, right?"

"I can probably climb, but it's hard to say whether I can walk." At that time, Shen Hui was only eight months old, and most of them would not leave. The emperor had obviously never seen such a young child at all, and he had no idea of the child's development.

"I heard that the Zhao family wants to ask you to diagnose the Zhao family's pulse?" The emperor talked about the child, and suddenly changed the subject, "I don't know what reward I gave you?" "It's already a bit of a joke when it comes to it.

"It's all good stuff." Taohua also smiled, "Don't hide it from the emperor, just rush this ceremony, and the courtiers will also have to give birth to Chongyi Niangniang for treatment." ”

"After so long, can you still be diagnosed?" The emperor said something brainless, but Taohua understood what he meant, "Since Chongyi Niangniang feels uncomfortable, it is that the residual poison has not been cleared, and there are always traces of it." ”

The emperor smiled faintly: "The Zhao family is willing to spend such a big capital, if you want to come to Zhao Chongyi's illness, you can go and take a good look at her." "The Zhao family is now moving constantly in the previous dynasty, but if Zhao Chongyi can't give birth to a son and a half daughter in the harem, I'm afraid that it will be a toss in vain, for this, what is a heavy gift.

Taohua's thoughts are the same as the emperor's, but there is a saying - you guessed the beginning of the matter, but not the end - when she went to the Chunhua Palace, she knew that Zhao Chongyi invited her to come, not just to see a doctor.

"Does the mother have any other discomfort besides the rash? For example, do you have dizziness, headaches, or dizziness? After diagnosing the pulses of Zhao Chongyi's left and right hands, and seeing the corners of Zhao Chongyi's elbows and behind his ears, Taohua already had points in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhao Chongyi nodded slightly, and the palace people around her had already shown surprise: "The princess of the county is really a miracle doctor." That, our mother's illness ......"

Heavy metal poisoning, this itching is not a rash at all, but the peripheral nerves are affected, which is reflected in the form of itching on the skin. As for the rash in this case, firstly, because Zhao Chongyi couldn't help scratching, and secondly, because the medicines she applied indiscriminately were not symptomatic, but instead stimulated the skin.

Taohua groaned and made a prescription: "Niang Niang will take it for a month first and see how it goes." "This recipe is from the booklet left by Jiang Fanghui, if Zhao Chongyi's poison is also the same poison, then the effect should be good.

The palace people took the recipe and hurriedly went out to grab the medicine, Zhao Chongyi took the tea, and said with a smile to Taohua: "The princess of the county taste, this is this year's Longjing before the rain, I love this taste the most, I don't know if the princess of the county likes it or not, if you like it, bring some back to drink." ”

"Thank you, mother." Taohua picked up the cup and sniffed it, "It's really fragrant." It's just that I shouldn't drink tea at this time, so I can only thank my mother. And after the mother takes the medicine, it is good to ban tea. I have a contraindication for taking drugs here, and my mother does it, which is beneficial to the medicine. ”

Zhao Chongyi immediately put down the teacup in his hand: "I see, then I won't drink this tea from today onwards, thank you for the reminder from the princess." ”

You can't drink tea with medicine, this is common sense, Taohua doesn't believe that Zhao Chongyi really doesn't even know this, it's so exaggerated, I'm afraid there will be other words later, so he just smiled and got up: "Fang Zi is open, I will leave first." ”

Sure enough, Zhao Chongyi stretched out his hand to stop him: "Princess County, sit down again, I still have a few words to say to Princess County." She stretched out her hand and flicked the teacup, "A few days ago, Cheng Enbo came to the palace with his heir to greet the Queen Mother." ”

"Oh, congratulations to Cheng Enbo." Momoka said casually.

Zhao Chongyi frowned slightly: "Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the princess of the county, Cheng Enbo is afraid that he can only be bedridden now." But the princess of the county is such a holy hand, but I heard that some people are still dissatisfied, and they only suspect that the princess of the county has not done her best. ”

Taohua coughed lightly: "People who don't understand medical skills, this is inevitable......" Zhao Chongyi said that this dissatisfied person, who else can there be besides the Queen Mother? In this way, in addition to letting her come to check the pulse today, there is really a topic.

Zhao Chongyi sighed: "If it's an ordinary person, just talk about it." After all, the princess of the county has a noble status, and no one dares to move. Can...... Has the princess ever thought about the future? ”

"In the future?" Taohua secretly thought that the text was coming, but her face was blank, "Chongyi is talking about ......"

"I heard that there have been some changes in the Northwest Army?" Zhao Chongyi leaned forward slightly, and lowered her voice, "The princess of the county also has to think about it, if the marquis of Dingbei is relieved and returns to the field in the future, how will the king of Anjun deal with himself?" ”

At this time, the palace people in the inner hall of Chunhua Hall had all kinds of excuses to retreat at any time, but only Zhao Chongyi and Taohua were left. In the empty inner hall, Zhao Chongyi's deliberately suppressed voice had a strange echo, which really created a gloomy feeling.

Taohua suddenly frowned, and Huo Di stood up: "What does this mean!" He spoke loudly, but he stood still under his feet, and his eyes wandered, as if he was very weak-hearted.

Zhao Chongyi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, but the expression on his face was still very sincere: "I am grateful to the princess of the county, so I want to say a few words of truth to the princess of the county." The Queen Mother regarded the King of Anjun as a thorn in her eye, and now she hates the princess of the county - I tell you the truth, the whole world is not the king's land, and the Northwest Army is always the imperial court, if the Queen Mother attacks the King of Anjun at that time...... Princess Jun, you still have a little son, even if you don't plan for yourself, you always have to plan for your children. ”

Taohua's acting skills are actually mediocre, and it is not easy to perform the appearance of being lustful and inward-looking just now, but fortunately, Zhao Chongyi seems to be very sure of her words, and immediately talked about the substantive problem, so she also sat down and showed a hesitant look.

Zhao Chongyi observed Taohua's face, and only felt a little more sure. This is always the case with women, as long as they have children, they have more weaknesses. No matter when, as long as the banner of the child is sacrificed, it will never be wrong.

"If the Northwest Army returns to the imperial court, what is the need for the Queen Mother not to let us go......"

Zhao Chongyi shook her head: "Doesn't the princess of the county still know the queen mother?" And there's the queen. In the past few years, the queen has not been less aggressive with the princess of the county...... "When she was a medical girl, she was instructed to save the epidemic, didn't she just want her to die in the epidemic area?"

"If the emperor wants to dispose of us...... As Niangniang just said, the whole world is not the king's land, what can we do! ”

Zhao Chongyi was about to laugh, everything was developing in the direction she wanted: "The princess of the county is wrong. The emperor is jealous of the king of Anjun, but it is for the northwest, if the northwest army returns to the imperial court, why does the emperor not keep the prince of the county? The princess of the county only sees her as a prince, don't you understand? The one who really can't let go of the prince of the county is the Yu family! ”

Taohua raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Chongyi. It should be said that although he hit by mistake, Zhao Chongyi actually told the truth, and Shen Shu's real enemy was Yu Dang. And at this point, Zhao Chongyi's meaning is already very clear.

"Niang Niang is saying, let's deal with the party together? But why did the mother make this suggestion? What are the benefits of Niangniang joining forces with our county palace, and what are the benefits of us joining forces with Niangniang? ”

"The princess of the county is really happy to speak!" Zhao Chongyi was first shocked by Taohua's straightforward question, and then became excited - although Princess Anjun said this sharply, it was a cooperative attitude, only a matter of cooperation and mutual benefit can be carried out smoothly, and it may not be a gentleman who does not talk about benefits, let alone a good alliance.

"The princess of the county also knows that my Zhao family is weak after all, although she has sneaked into the party in the past and found out some news, it is always difficult to compete with the party......

It's really going to turn black and white upside down. Taohua couldn't help but take a look at Zhao Chongyi's face, and found that when people said this, they really didn't blush at all, and they looked solemn, as if they were really some kind of underground party that endured humiliation in the past. With this ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense, she can't even catch up with the horse.

“…… Now that the emperor is finally no longer deceived by the party, my Zhao family naturally has to do my best for the emperor. If the king of Anjun also made contributions to the emperor at this time, then he will be brought down by the party in the future, and I will make a statement to the emperor for the prince and princess, and I will definitely be able to protect the county palace without worry. ”

It's a blank check. Baojun Wangfu is worry-free, how can it be considered worry-free? Whether you have to eat and drink, or have real power, there is a big difference here.

However, Taohua naturally didn't say it, but asked: "Niangniang made a statement to the emperor for us?" ”

Zhao Chongyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her face slowly retracted. This Princess Anjun is really not a vegetarian, and a sentence poked her heart. Originally, she didn't want to say this today, but since she was asked on her face, she couldn't help mentioning it: "The princess of the county thinks that Lu Xiuyi gave birth to the eldest prince and will be overwhelmed in the party palace in the future. ”

Ambition is not small! Taohua couldn't help but cheer Zhao Chongyi. This is the ninth concubine, and she is already thinking about the queen's position.

"Lu Xiuyi was lifted up by the queen, and the emperor ......" Taohua didn't finish speaking, just shook her head, "Actually, Lu Xiuyi didn't intend to attach herself to the queen......"

"yes." Zhao Chongyi also sighed, as if she was very sorry, "It's just that the emperor dotes on Concubine Shu and always wants to take the little prince to Concubine Shu to raise, Lu Xiuyi ...... It was also a sacrifice in the midst of a battle......"

"The emperor does love Concubine Shu, can you be sure of it?"

Zhao Chongyi squinted her eyes slightly, this princess of Anjun, saying a sentence is really like a knife, all on the point. However, this is also a good thing, she thinks about it, and it will be more enjoyable to cooperate: "The princess of the county must know that it is important to have a pet in this palace, but if the mother's family can't mention it, it won't work." ”

"I understand...... Taohua looked at Zhao Chongyi, "Niangniang has a family background and a position, and she is only one prince away." ”

"There's still a lot of credit left." Zhao Chongyi added with a smile, "The scenery of the Yu clan at the beginning was also because of the merit of the dragon. If I can help the emperor to bring down the party, my Zhao family and the Anjun royal mansion will be a great achievement. ”

If you become the queen and help you conceive a prince, you will be considered to have a dragon in the future, right?

Taohua complained in her heart and smiled: "I'm afraid that the birds will be exhausted, and the good bow will be hidden." ”

Zhao Chongyi laughed: "The princess of the county is really shrewd. It's just that the princess of the county also thinks about it, how to deal with the county palace, it is the emperor's will, as long as the county princess's mansion has made a contribution, even if I don't make a statement to the emperor, it doesn't matter. ”

"If that's the case, then why do we have to cooperate with the mother?"

"Naturally, it's because my Zhao family has the handle of the Yu family in my hands." Zhao Chongyi said leisurely, "The embankment of a thousand miles collapses in the anthill, and the party is a hundred-legged insect, which cannot be killed at once, and it can only be eaten up a little bit." However, although my father knew this, he did not have much real power in his hands, and he had no one to verify it, so he had to rely on the county king's mansion. ”

The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and it has to be killed from the inside to finish quickly. Taohua sighed again that the ancients were honest and did not deceive me, and said: "Now that Zhao Shangshu is in charge of the military department, how can he still say that he has no power?" ”

Naturally, it was carried by someone. Zhao Chongyi was really a little disgusted that Taohua didn't know each other at this time, so why did she have to ask so clearly? But this question could not be answered, so I had to say a little stiffly: "After all, it is ...... to be in office."

"I see." Tao Hua nodded slightly, "Niangniang is right, this matter, cooperation is mutually beneficial, it's just - Niangniang, please promise me one thing, I dare to accept this matter." ”

"The princess of the county, please speak."

"After the matter is completed, Niangniang is in the middle palace, and I only ask Lu Xiuyi and the little prince to be safe! Niangniang also said that Lu Xiuyi has no favor, and her mother's family is also - I might as well tell the truth with Niangniang, Lu Xiuyi has no children in a house, and she is quite oppressed at home, so she is not on good terms with her mother's family, let alone promote her mother's family, and will never pose any threat to Niangniang, and ask Niangniang to let her have a place. ”

Lu Ying's affairs in her mother's house, the Zhao family had already inquired about it, but now that it came out of Taohua's mouth, the meaning was different. Zhao Chongyi smiled: "The princess of the county is really a kind and righteous person, Lu Xiuyi doesn't know that it is the blessing of several generations of cultivation, so she has to have a close friend like the princess of the county." The palace made an oath to the princess of the county, and when the day of the great success, the palace will ensure the glory of Lu Xiuyi and the little prince! ”
