Chapter 260: Shangyuan
Because of the emperor's illness, everyone is not stable this New Year.
Queen Xu came to Zichen Hall every day to ask for warmth, and a group of concubines took turns to ask for peace. King Yan, the imperial grandson and the two princesses also came to serve the illness and show filial piety.
Wei Yan couldn't stop, guarding the emperor's dragon couch every day, seeing the doctor, administering needles and adjusting the prescription, and dealing with everyone's inquiries and difficulties.
This is a question from the concubines: "Imperial Doctor Wei, why hasn't the emperor's illness improved for a long time?" ”
"If Imperial Physician Wei is powerless, he might as well say it earlier, if he delays his father's illness, I'm afraid that Imperial Physician Wei can't afford it." This is a rebuke from King Yan.
Princess Changping also frowned at the thin willow eyebrows, with a worried face: "Imperial Doctor Wei, what is the illness of my father?" It's been more than ten days, why hasn't it improved? ”
Not to mention Empress Xu, every day when she arrives at Zichen Palace, she must scold her face with a stiff face: "Imperial Doctor Wei, this palace will give you a few more days." If you can't cure the emperor's illness again, this palace is asking for you! ”
Wei Yan didn't know how much he had heard.
The official position of the imperial doctor sounds glamorous, but in fact it is sweet on the outside and bitter on the inside. Every day in and out of the palace, it is the nobles in the palace who are served. The slightest carelessness will cause trouble. It will not work only to be clever in medicine, but also to have the sensitivity to judge the situation and the ability to see the wind and steer the rudder.
The words are a little sulky, and it is not worth mentioning at all.
Compared with other imperial doctors, Wei Yan's treatment is already the best. At least not to be scolded and punished at every turn. The emperor has great trust in his medical skills, and has been letting him see him for several years. Don't look at the fierceness in his mouth, as long as the emperor doesn't speak, no one can shake his status.
It's just that the emperor's condition this time is really bad.
Taking the pill indiscriminately, the dragon's body was weakened, and all the old diseases were brought out. Applying needles and drinking medicine can only slightly alleviate the symptoms, and if you want to recover completely, you must at least rest for a few months.
Of course, this kind of big truth cannot be told. Therefore, no matter who opened his mouth to reprimand, Wei Yan always responded: "It's Weichen who is incompetent." ”
What's next?
Of course, let Wei Yan continue to treat the emperor.
In this hospital, there is no one who wants to find someone with better medical skills than Wei Yan. Besides, everyone knows about the emperor taking pills to summon his concubines.
The delay in curing the disease is because the emperor has lost the dragon body, and it is really no wonder that Wei Yan is gone.
……
Soon, it was the Shangyuan Festival.
According to the habit of previous years, there will be a lantern festival in the capital every year during the Shangyuan Festival. The concubines in the palace also inevitably had fun, and each prepared lanterns to participate in the lantern festival in the palace. If you can be in the limelight at the lantern festival, you will show your face in front of the emperor. It is also the best means to compete for favor.
But this year, the emperor is still lying on the dragon collapse to recuperate! Concubines who are still in the mood to do what lanterns! Empress Xu directly issued a phoenix decree and canceled this year's lantern festival.
This Shangyuan Festival, the palace is quiet, and the people are still lively, going to the lantern market in groups to enjoy the lanterns.
The Ling Mansion also set up some lanterns in accordance with the occasion. However, no one in the Ling Mansion went to the lamp market to join in the fun. Even the most lively Ling Wuye didn't have this mood.
After tonight, it will be the day when Ling Jingshu enters the palace.
After the dull family banquet, Ling Wuye called Ling Jingshu into the study, and said earnestly: "Ashu, tomorrow you will enter the palace to serve the queen." Since you were a child, you have been intelligent, calm, calm and careful, and thoughtful in your words and actions. You enter the palace on an errand, and I don't have anything to worry about. You keep in mind who you are, and you can't make a difference in your words and deeds. If you cause trouble in the palace, we will be helpless outside the palace. ”
After a pause, he said, "I know this sounds harsh, but it's also true. After entering the palace, no one can help you, you have to rely on yourself. ”
I almost didn't say clearly, "We can't help it if you die in the palace."
A hint of mockery flashed in Ling Jingshu's eyes, and she responded lightly: "Thank you for your father's teachings, my daughter understands." ”
Ling Wuye has always been such a person. In her previous life, she suffered humiliation in the Lu family, and after he, the weight of being a father, turned a blind eye ruthlessly.
He will not harm his children, but he will never do anything for them.
She never expected this father, so she was naturally not disappointed.
Ling Wuye was a little embarrassed and embarrassed under Ling Jingshu's sarcastic gaze. As if to make up for something, he took out a stack of thick silver tickets from his sleeve and came out: "If you want to enter the palace, I asked someone to send a letter back to Dingzhou a few days ago." I haven't heard back from your grandmother yet. I'll make the decision first, there are 20,000 taels of silver tickets here, you keep them. There are few places where silver is not used to enter the palace. ”
Compared with the time in the capital, the shot is much more generous.
Ling Jingshu was also not polite, and immediately took the silver ticket: "Thank you father, but my daughter will be disrespectful." ”
The situation in the palace is unknown, and it is indeed necessary to bring more silver for self-defense.
She originally had more than 10,000 taels of silver tickets on her, and with the addition of 20,000 taels, she had more than 30,000 taels of silver tickets. The net worth is also rich.
After giving the silver ticket, Ling Wuye had nothing to say, and said after a while: "You go back to rest first, and get up early tomorrow, so as not to delay the time to enter the palace." ”
……
After returning to the boudoir, Ling Jingyan's familiar face came into view.
Ling Jingyan stuffed a thick purse into Ling Jingshu's hand: "Auntie, I'm a big person on weekdays, and I don't have the habit of saving silver. There are 1,000 taels of silver tickets here, which is already all my private room. Bring them all with you, so that you don't go into the palace without money. ”
Ling Jingshu was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to excuse herself: "Cousin Yan, my father has already given me a lot of silver tickets just now. I don't want your money, you better keep it......"
"No, no, no!" Ling Jingyan glared at her, and said fiercely: "I stay in the mansion every day, how can I use silver." Alright, you can't say anything, take it quickly. ”
There were only 1,000 taels of silver in this purse, which was not a large amount. It's far less than what Ling Wuye gave.
Ling Jingshu was clutching her purse, but her heart was surging, and the warm liquid in the corners of her eyes was about to move.
Ling Jingyan saw tears in her eyes, and the suppressed sourness in her heart also surfaced in her heart, she suddenly hugged Ling Jingshu into her arms, choked up and said, "Ashu, I am reluctant to let you go, I really can't bear you to ......"
After nearly a year of getting along day and night, the two have already formed a deep sisterhood.
Ling Jingshu's tears also slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she silently hugged Ling Jingyan.
How could she be willing to let go of the people who cared about her?
It's just that from the moment she decided to come to the capital, her fate was doomed to be bumpy. She had no way out, so she could only walk with her chest straight. (To be continued.) )
