Today is the day when the concubine Yao Ruolan returns to the palace, and as soon as noon passed, the concubine's entourage returned to the palace in advance to inform Xiao Hongzhen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Hongzhen's face was full of spring breeze when he heard this, and his resolute face showed a rare softness, and he smiled at Xiao Zhengyuan, who was studying ink on the side: "Let's go, go and meet your mother." ”
Xiao Zhengyuan said, "Yes." Hurriedly put down the things in his hand and followed behind Xiao Hongzhen.
After a while, a team of twenty people entered the palace in a majestic manner.
In the middle is a lilac sedan chair, the top of the sedan is inlaid with four huge night pearls, the tassel made of gold thread swayes gently with the movement of the sedan chair, a gust of wind blows, and everywhere it is intoxicating fragrance......
Xiao Hongzhen smiled and hurried to greet him.
When the sedan chair fell, he waved his hand to the entourage who was about to bow and salute: "Excuse me, this time you have escorted the concubine for merit, and all the rewards will be awarded." ”
The sedan curtain was gently raised, and a beautiful face like a peach blossom gently poked out of the sedan chair, and when he saw Xiao Hongzhen's expectant look, he couldn't help but smile: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
"No Gifts, No Gifts, No Gifts....."
Xiao Hongzhen hurriedly went up to help: "The concubine has been tired of the boat and car, and she has worked hard all the way......"
"The concubine went back to her mother's house this time to get the pill for the emperor, how can it be hard to do such a meritorious thing?"
"Mother, you're back, my father misses my mother very much......"
Yao Ruolan glared at Xiao Zhengyuan with disgust: "It's not big, it's not small." ”
Entering the inner hall, Yao Ruolan used a few mouthfuls of exquisite snacks that Xiao Hongzhen had ordered in advance, raised her head and asked, "Before the concubine went to her mother's house, she heard about the drought in Mingzhou, is it okay now?" ”
Xiao Hongzhen smiled: "It's hard for the concubine to still think about the people of Mingzhou, and she left her own dowry as a disaster relief silver tael, now that everything has been handled properly, the concubine doesn't need to worry." ”
Yao Ruolan put her mind at ease: "This is the best...... Your Majesty, do you have any pills left? ”
"There are only two left."
"It doesn't matter, the concubine brought a lot of them when she went back this time, but my father took a lot of effort to refine them."
Xiao Hongzhen sighed with emotion: "This father-in-law of mine is indifferent to the world, he is dedicated to practicing pills and asking for medicine, and he doesn't want both official positions and silver, so that I don't know what to give him......"
Yao Ruolan covered her mouth and smiled, and in an instant charmed all beings: "Father doesn't want official positions and silver taels, it's not that he wants to avoid suspicion, and he doesn't want to cause any criticism to the emperor, the emperor is good, just don't appreciate it, and complain, so that the concubine is sad....."
The last two sentences were half delicate and half angry, Xiao Hongzhen's bones were crispy, taking into account Xiao Zhengyuan's presence, he didn't hug Yao Ruolan, but he also softened his voice and said: "It's too late for me to feel distressed, where can I complain?" ”
Xiao Zhengyuan was about to leave quietly when he saw this scene, but the emperor's personal eunuch whispered at the door: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Chen has come to ask you for a pulse......
Such a good atmosphere was suddenly interrupted, Xiao Hongzhen was a little dissatisfied, and saw Yao Ruolan nodding lightly to herself, so she said outside: "Let him come in!" ”
"Weichen asks the emperor to ......"
A man over forty years old with a long beard bowed to Xiao Hongzhen dignifiedly, and after getting up, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Yao Ruolan and Xiao Zhengyuan also there, and saluted these two as well.
After asking Xiao Hongzhen for a pulse, Imperial Physician Chen said respectfully: "The emperor is in good health, but he is a little angry, and he will open a prescription for the ministers and eat it for two days." ”
Xiao Hongzhen nodded: "I know, you can step down!" ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Imperial Physician Chen did not leave immediately, but opened his mouth with some hesitation.
"What else is the matter with Imperial Physician Chen?"
After being separated from Yao Guifei for a few days, Xiao Hongzhen just wanted to stay with her for a while at the moment, and when he saw that Imperial Doctor Chen was not leaving, his tone was a little impatient.
Imperial Physician Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal........
"Then let's talk about it next time I come to ask for a pulse!"
"Yes..... Wechen retired. ”
Seeing that Imperial Physician Chen was gone, Yao Ruolan made a color at Xiao Zhengyuan, Xiao Zhengyuan understood, and hurriedly retired.
"Imperial Doctor Chen stays ......"
Xiao Zhengyuan walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Imperial Doctor Chen, who was worried in front of him.
"Your Highness."
When Imperial Physician Chen saw that it was Xiao Zhengyuan, there was a trace of panic on his face.
Xiao Zhengyuan said without a trace: "Imperial Doctor Chen is also my grandfather's disciple, so in this way, Zhengyuan should also call you Uncle Chen." ”
"Your Highness, this is going to torment the old man, the old man will never dare to be it......"
Xiao Zhengyuan saw that there was no one around, so he said, "Uncle Chen, I don't know what you want to say to your father?" Father is inconvenient today, Zhengyuan can help Uncle Chen get some ideas......"
"This ......"
Imperial Physician Chen's face was a little vague, as if he had made a lot of determination, before he spoke: "The old minister has something to do at home, and today I want to resign with His Majesty and return to ...... Home. ”
"Oh?"
Xiao Zhengyuan's tone was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and looked at him with a smile.
Imperial Physician Chen's legs trembled slightly, and beads of sweat on his head also flowed: "Your Highness, Weichen wanted to discuss this matter with His Highness in advance, but the old mother in the family is too old, and Weichen is really not at ease, and he is afraid that His Highness and the concubine will not agree, so I want to resign with Your Majesty......"
Xiao Zhengyuan pouted and smiled: "Uncle Chen, where is this, your filial piety is commendable, and it is too late for Zhengyuan and his mother to admire, how can you stop it?" ”
Imperial Physician Chen seemed to be relieved when he heard this, knelt down with a puff, and said uncontrollably: "Thank you, Your Highness, Longen, thank you for your compassion......
"Eh, Uncle Chen, don't be in a hurry to thank you."
Xiao Zhengyuan lifted Imperial Physician Chen up with one hand: "Father's body has always been handled by Imperial Physician Chen, and Zhengyuan is only afraid that other Imperial Physicians will not be able to see ......."
Imperial Physician Chen was shocked when he heard this, and his face was full of panic: "What does Your Highness want Weichen to do?" ”
Xiao Zhengyuan patted him lightly on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen don't worry, Zhengyuan is just not worried about his father's body, after all, there are too few people like Uncle Chen who are stable and skilled in medicine, when Zhengyuan finds a suitable imperial doctor, Uncle Chen will leave, how about it?" Of course, Uncle Chen won't be delayed for too long, okay within a month? ”
Imperial Physician Chen seemed a little uneasy, and said timidly: "What His Highness said is true? ”
Xiao Zhengyuan smiled, as if he felt ridiculous about this question: "After so many years, when did Zhengyuan lie to you?" Besides, if the later imperial doctor leaves before he can find you, then you won't be able to leave, right? Kindness? ”
Imperial Physician Chen shuddered, his neck tightly retracted into his collar, and hurriedly replied, "Everything is up to His Highness's orders." ”
After Imperial Physician Chen left, Xiao Zhengyuan stood in place, frowning and narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he was in a bitter thought......
