Chapter 6: Speculation
The inner servants of the second grade in the palace, except for the chief eunuch who served the emperor closely, were not the second choice. And the Qi family was also afraid that Lin Yan would not know his identity, so he reminded her in a low voice: "This is the father-in-law who is waiting by the emperor's side. โ
Lin Yan didn't dare to accept his salute, stood up and avoided it sideways, and then curtfell and returned the salute, saying, "Father-in-law is polite." โ
Gonggong Wan smiled, but he also respectfully turned sideways to avoid Lin Yan's salute.
Qi and Lin Yan were both stunned, the seven officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention the emperor's side who was close to him, such a person is sometimes afraid that even the prince and the princess are not in their eyes, not to mention that they are just the noble daughters of the ordinary lord's family, in the past, the Qi family entered the palace and happened to meet, and the princess of Wan was only half sideways to avoid the courtesy of the Qi family, and today the princess of Wan is particularly respectful to Lin Yan, which can not help but be surprising. And the Qi family thought more, more or less guessed the trick, and looked at Lin Yan.
And Lin Yan's expression was no longer different except for the slight stunned at the beginning, with a light smile on her face, and her attitude towards Gonggong Wan was respectful but not arrogant or humble, so that Qi couldn't guess whether she had guessed anything like her.
Gonggong Wan smiled and continued to speak: "The emperor heard that the fourth lady has been in poor health since returning to Beijing, and he is very concerned, not only telling the imperial doctor to do his best to treat the fourth miss, but also personally inquiring about the fourth lady's condition. A few days ago, the imperial doctor reported that the fourth lady's health had improved greatly, and the emperor was very happy, so today the emperor ordered the old slave to come to your mansion with the imperial doctor to visit the fourth lady, and check the fourth lady's condition clearly so that he could report to the emperor. โ
As he spoke, he waved his hand to several imperial doctors and said, "Several imperial doctors hurriedly diagnosed the pulse of the fourth young lady, and everyone should report to the emperor." โ
The three imperial doctors came one after another, Lin Yan stretched out her hand, the maid covered a thin handkerchief on her wrist, the imperial doctor supported the pulse in turn, and then added a look and a question, and the three of them got together and discussed in a low voice for a while.
Gonggong Wan looked at them and couldn't help but say, "What are you still muttering, how is the fourth young lady's health, you hurry up." โ
Imperial Physician Li, the highest-ranking of the three imperial doctors, stood up, made a gesture to Gonggong Wan and the Qi family, and replied: "Father-in-law Hui, madam, the fourth young lady's body has recovered. The minister then gave Miss Four a recipe for Guyuan, ate it for three days, and then supplemented it with dietary therapy, and Miss Four would be fine. โ
Qi said: "It's really annoying a few doctors." โ
Gonggong Wan congratulated the Qi family with a smile: "The fourth young lady has recovered, which is really gratifying, but a good old slave can also give an errand to the emperor, but the emperor's diary is hung with the emperor's illness." โ
Qi Shi smiled and said, "It's all the emperor's grace. โ
Qi instructed the maid to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for the imperial doctor, and then said to Wan Gong with a smile: "It will take some time for the imperial doctor to write the prescription, why don't you go to the flower hall with me to have a tea break?" โ
Qi didn't dare to slack off on her father-in-law, her husband was not in the house, she had already quietly asked people to call her eldest son over, so as to greet distinguished guests, as well as red envelopes for rewards, everything had already been ordered to be prepared properly, lest the arrangements were not thick and thoughtful.
Gonggong Wan waved his hand and refused: "No need, the emperor is also very concerned about the old lady, and when he left the palace, he instructed the old slave to visit the old lady by the way, and asked the second lady to take the old slave to see the old lady." โ
Qi Shi was stunned again, but soon smiled and said, "It should be." Saying that, he personally made a gesture of inviting his father-in-law, and said, "Mother is in Funing Hall, father-in-law, please come with me." โ
The Qi family was clear-minded, knowing that Gonggong Wan was afraid that he would have to talk to the Li family alone if he had the emperor's words, and when he took Gonggong Wan to Funing Hall to see the Li family, he found an excuse to withdraw with the maid.
Qi stood under the porch of the gate of Funing Hall, frowning, his eyes drooping slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Lin Chengsheng hurriedly walked in, saw Qi's family, and called: "Mother." As he spoke, he walked over and said, "I went to the courtyard of the fourth sister, but I only saw the imperial doctor, and the maids said that you and Gonggong Wan came to the courtyard of your grandmother." Father-in-law Wan is ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Qi clapped his hands and said, "Let's stand here for a while, and Wan Gonggong will talk to your grandmother inside." โ
Lin Chengsheng said curiously: "What does Father-in-law Wan need to say to his grandmother alone?" As he said that, he thought of something, and then asked, "Is it ยทยทยทยทยทยท?"
It's just that before he could say anything, Qi suddenly saw a sneaky figure outside Funing Hall who stretched out his head to look inside, and scolded loudly: "What person, come out." โ
Seeing that he was discovered, the man walked out cautiously with his head down, with a frightened look on his face, it turned out to be Lin Li's maid Xiaotong.
Qi Shi glanced at her coldly, and said, "Why don't you serve Miss Ramie well, what are you doing sneakily here?" โ
Xiaotong whispered: "It was Miss who heard that the imperial doctor came to give Miss Fourth a follow-up, Miss cared about Miss Four, and asked the slave maid to ask about Miss Four's situation." โ
Qi said: "If you want to ask about the situation of the fourth lady, you should go to the courtyard of the fourth lady, why do you come to the old lady's yard?" โ
Xiaotong hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave maid made a mistake, so the slave maid will go to the courtyard of the fourth lady to ask." โ
Qi was not in the mood to investigate what she wanted to do secretly in the Li family's courtyard, she was very strict with her family, and she couldn't allow the maid to run around, and said: "After asking about the situation and returning to your young lady, I will go to Qi Mo to get twenty boards, and then read the rules of the house a hundred times, so as not to remember for a long time." โ
Xiao Tong was so frightened that he was shocked, and he knew that the Qi family didn't like people begging for mercy the most, and the more he begged for mercy, the heavier the punishment became, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to beg for mercy, so he had to whisper yes, and then walked away.
Lin Chengsheng looked at Xiaotong who left, lowered his head and couldn't help but smile, and said, "Aunt Ramie is a master who can't stay idle, mother, Aunt Ramie is so old, it's not a matter of always staying at home." โ
Qi's face showed a little displeasure with Lin Li, and said: "You think that your grandmother and I have never planned for her, but she has a high vision and heart, don't have a low status, don't look good, don't have a concubine, don't be the original match, don't be from a family, it's just that she doesn't look at what her identity is, how can such a good family son look down on her." โ
However, Qi thought that this time it was time for her to set up a family affair no matter what, and she was stirring up trouble in the house all day long, and she didn't know what to make a fuss about. Whether the Lin family is married or in the family, although they have different temperaments, they are all well-versed and sensible people who know how to advance and retreat, but this one makes the old grandfather spoiled, and some of his actions are really unsightly.
