Chapter Seventy-Three: Fools
Sure enough, something big happened in the paddock, and somehow, two colorful tigers that seemed to have taken stimulants passed by the place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must pass. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had guards with him, the tigers were too fierce and excited, and although the tigers did not bite His Royal Highness the Prince, they also made the Prince embarrassed.
What made the prince feel even more embarrassed was that his disgraced appearance was not only seen by his brothers, but also seen by the emperor who heard that the prince was in distress.
The three emperor brothers, the four emperor brothers and others comforted the frightened prince one after another, their 'comforting' words made the prince almost vomit blood in shame, and the four emperor brothers, who were the best at riding and archery, even performed a good show of arrows and tigers in public, compared with the mediocrity and panic of the prince's talent, the performance of the four princes undoubtedly added a lot of points in front of the emperor.
In this way, the emperor rewarded the four princes with the purple and gold longbow used by the previous emperor.
The prince can't object, he can't eat it.
He could detect the strange gazes of the ministers, and he could feel his father's disappointment in him.
Although the prince may not be strong in riding and archery, he is forced to lose face by a pair of tigers, which is not a decent good thing.
The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty also laid down the country on horseback, and as the successor of the next generation, if the riding and shooting are too poor, it is really shameless.
The prince was not in good health, but after being frightened by the tigers, and holding back a breath of resentment, he was even more worried that the emperor would not have a good impression of him, and the prince would be sick when he returned to the tent, and the high fever would not go away, and the situation seemed very dangerous. The crown princess was busy sending a letter to the emperor, but she didn't dare to say that the prince's condition was dangerous, if the prince couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of governing the country, how could the emperor pass the throne to the prince.
The crown princess still thinks clearly.
It is better to have the queen by the emperor's side than to slander the emperor by others.
When the queen heard that her son was sick, she hurriedly sent the imperial doctor to treat the prince, and followed the queen's Yongfu county lord to comfort the worried queen in detail, and helped the queen come up with ideas on how to make the emperor pay attention to the prince's illness, and so that the emperor would not have an unbearable impression of the prince because the prince was seriously ill.
The lord of Yongfu County was busy for a long time, and reluctantly persuaded the queen before she let out a sigh of relief and followed her to say, "Lord Xiao's wife, Jiang, asks to see her." โ
Since the county lord of Yongfu recognized Xiao Ruihua, he deliberately distanced himself from the relationship with Jiang Luqi, but Jiang Luqi, who didn't know anything, came up one by one, and the county lord of Yongfu couldn't help but love Xiao Ruihua in his heart.
"Let her in." It's not good for the lord of Yongfu not to see Jiang Luqi, after all, Jiang Luqi helped him.
Jiang Luqi is dressed elegantly, her face is dignified and beautiful, and she has the demeanor of a famous lady in her every move, seeing the lord of Yongfu County, Jiang Luqi pouted with a close smile on her lips, and after curtsiding, she took the initiative to talk, "Why don't you go to play with me recently?" Are you busy? I found a pair of red corals, don't you like red coral the most? If you like it, I'll give it to you, okay? โ
"Sorry for you, Red Coral...... It's been a long time since I've enjoyed it. โ
"What's wrong with you? Very pale? Sick? โ
Jiang Luqi is particularly concerned about the lord of Yongfu, since she was reborn, in addition to avoiding marrying Zhao Duoze in her previous life, Jiang Luqi wants to make friends with her in her previous life, and even people as unlucky as herself to be happy. In addition to avoiding the lord of Yongfu from being deceived by a bastard with a good male style, she also privately advised the lord of Yongfu not to let his mother, the eldest princess, invest in the prince again, but to concentrate on following the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince.
The lord of Yongfu can feel Jiang Luqi's kindness, but although she is the youngest daughter of the eldest princess, her influence on the eldest princess is very limited, and she has a father and brother above her, and the political power of the eldest princess is not something that the lord of Yongfu can influence the order.
The politicians surrounding the eldest princess are not easy to convince, and the lord of Yongfu can't say that because of Jiang Luqi's words, the eldest princess will fully support His Royal Highness the crown prince.
Others will not know who Jiang Luqi is, let alone believe that Jiang Luqi has political foresight.
The lord of Yongfu can only express his loyalty to the queen more, which can be regarded as a good fate for the future.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." The county lord of Yongfu reluctantly showed a smile, slowly lowered his eyelids, I really didn't want to see it, how happy and good it was to hear how happy Jiang Luqi and Xiao Ruihua were...... "Why do you have time to look for me today?" โ
Jiang Luqi sat beside the Lord of Yongfu and whispered, "I also heard the news from the outside, about the condition of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"How?"
"I may be able to recommend a capable person to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Capable people? There is a doctor who diagnoses the pulse of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he doesn't need a capable person......"
"If the imperial doctor could make the โก of the prince's palace better, he would have done it a long time ago, the county lord is by the queen's side, which imperial doctor doesn't say that the prince's palace is โก weak? Most of the prescriptions they used for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were warm and supplementative, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, so careful use of medicine, in fact, did not benefit His Royal Highness the Prince's body at all, but made the previous illness more and more serious. โ
"Are you a capable person?" How could the lord of Yongfu not know the mind of the imperial doctor? Normal people will also be as cautious as the imperial doctor, maintaining the condition of His Royal Highness the prince is a great achievement, using fierce medicine means danger, curing the prince is just a good thing, once the cure is not good, the imperial doctor will not have to fall to the ground?
Jiang Luqi said softly: "My sister-in-law." โ
"What?" Lord Yongfu was stunned for a while, staring straight at Jiang Luqi, "You mean Lord Xiao's sister?" The one who married your cousin? โ
"That's her." Jiang Luqi said confidently: "She will definitely be able to cure His Royal Highness the Prince." โ
In the previous life, the prince has been gradually healing since Xiao Zhuohua became a side concubine, and because of this, Xiao Zhuohua will gain the trust and maintenance of the prince, so that he can fight against the princess in the East Palace.
Jiang Luqi still remembered Xiao Zhuohua's dignity when she was in charge of the East Palace, and she didn't dare to be disrespectful in front of her.
On the eve of the prince's accession to the throne, the crown princess died of illness quietly, many people said that it was Xiao Zhuohua, but the prince trusted Xiao Zhuohua, and the prince's only surviving son was also born by Xiao Zhuohua, therefore, Xiao Zhuohua was canonized as the queen, and his son was named the prince......
"But she is now the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Yongning, and no one has said that she will cure diseases, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen will not trust her."
"It is precisely because others don't know the Tao that this is your chance to make meritorious contributions and become a good queen." Jiang Luqi calmly gave 'guidance' to the county lord of Yongfu calmly, "In the current situation, whoever can make His Royal Highness the prince's condition better, who is the great benefactor of the queen and the prince, if it weren't for my close care to the county lord, I wouldn't recommend my sister-in-law." โ
"What if she can't be cured?"
"How can it not be cured? I can guarantee that she will be able to heal His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. โ
Jiang Luqi is also doing this for Xiao Ruihua's career, if Xiao Zhuohua gets the queen's gratitude, Xiao Ruihua's position in the court will be more stable.
has been married for a while, Jiang Luqi has always demanded herself with the goal of being a good wife, although she will not take the initiative to give Xiao Ruihua a concubine in the first year of marriage, but she wants to help Xiao Ruihua, watching from the side, Jiang Luqi found that although Xiao Ruihua is trusted and valued by the emperor, the officials in the court have a lot of difficulties for Xiao Ruihua.
If Xiao Zhuohua heals the prince, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, even if there is no Xiao Zhuohua, he will still repay the 'life-saving benefactor'.
Jiang Luqi sighed: "That is, I am familiar with the county lord, otherwise I would never recommend the second sister-in-law, and the county lord also knows that my father has always been dissatisfied with the current Yongning Hou Shizi...... I can't bear to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffer, regardless of my father's wishes, and I don't know how my father blames me when I go back. โ
The lord of Yongfu knows the importance of the matter, if the prince's condition improves, the eldest princess will be a lot more concerned, after all, the prince has an advantage in fame, and he is very famous in the government and the opposition, in case Xiao Zhuohua can't cure the prince, the queen will definitely blame the lord of Yongfu who gave her hope.
"The lord of the county, if you keep making decisions, you will suffer from it." Jiang Luqi said decisively: "Okay or not, it's all in the county lord's thoughts." โ
"I just want to ask, how do you prove that Xiao's medical skills are higher than those of the Imperial Doctor?"
"This ......"
Jiang Luqi turned her heart sideways and whispered: "Before my sister-in-law got married, I met His Royal Highness the Prince, do you remember that the prince of Qin had a conflict with His Royal Highness the prince's cousin?" That conflict was not for my second cousin, but because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to accept Xiao Zhuohua as a side concubine, in addition to her beauty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's cough was the recipe given by Xiao Zhuohua, but unfortunately...... Because the second cousin proposed to the Xiao family first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let go of her hand if he was not good at taking the wife, I guess that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is affectionate to her, or he would not let his cousin personally give her a gift. โ
"And such a thing?"
"Because it involves the name of my sister-in-law, this matter is just treated as jealousy between the prince of Qin and the prince's cousin. If it weren't for the inside story of the Dao, how could I dare to rashly come to find the county lord? โ
The Lord of Yongfu County had a little more hesitation on his face, "Does Lord Xiao know about this matter?" โ
"He doesn't know what to do, but I think he will make the same choice as me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king."
"You'd better go back and talk to Lord Xiao, I'll pretend I didn't ......hear it first" The Lord of Yongfu County is very careful, putting aside the matter of whether the prince's condition has improved, if Xiao Ruihua recommends his married sister to see His Royal Highness the Prince, who has a relationship, what will others think of Xiao Ruihua?
He will definitely be regarded as a person who tends to be inflammatory.
Since the pulse is diagnosed, men and women must touch their fingers, and there must be contact, so men and women don't care about it?
Also because of the big trouble between men and women, most of the doctors are elderly people, and the pulse of the female relatives is separated by a curtain, and there are no women in the famous doctors, and even the Ming Dynasty has a rule that medical women are not allowed to enter the palace as concubines.
Xiao Zhuohua treats the prince, what will the people in Yongning Houfu think?
What would her husband think?
Can Xiao Zhuohua still gain a foothold in the Yongning Hou Mansion? Who is the head of the board?
Even if the emperor gave the Jiang family a reward afterwards, the Jiang family didn't want to 'betray' Xiao Zhuohua's reward.
Xiao Ruihua only has one sister Xiao Zhuohua, and he has been dependent on his sister since he was a child, and the relationship between their brother and sister must be very deep, since Xiao Ruihua insisted on marrying his sister to the son of the prince of Yongning Hou despite His Royal Highness the Prince, he should not have thought of using his sister for benefits, nor did he think that his sister served His Royal Highness the Prince, but I am afraid that Xiao Ruihua just wanted his sister to live happily and smoothly.
The lord of Yongfu County has also heard the news of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Xiao Zhuohua is very favored in the Jiang family, and her in-laws value her very much, and she is with her husband Qin Se and Ming, and envy many women who have died.
Although Jiang Wenjin is not talented, he is indeed recognized as the husband who loves his wife the most, he is the only son of the Marquis of Yongning, and there will definitely be a hereditary marquis in the future, even if he is happy with his wife all day long, others will not say that he is not enterprising.
Yongning Hou Jiang's family does not say that the family wealth is millions, but after many years of operation by the lord of Jiamin, it is also a wealthy family, Jiang Wenjin and his wife will inherit a large amount of silver in the future, the title, and the silver are all there, as long as no one helps in the succession, which prince will not be gracious to such a family when he ascends the throne?
Once Xiao Zhuohua is involved in the succession, the calm Jiang family will make waves again, and Xiao Zhuohua may not have a good life again.
She can save the prince once, the queen will let her save it twice, three times, maybe take this opportunity The queen will take the Jiang family and Xiao Ruihua in her hands, the old man of the Jiang family is the only one alive among the three famous handsomes of the year, and the Jiang family's family background is not weak.
Just looking at Xiao Ruihua's face, the lord of Yongfu County didn't want the Xiao family brothers and sisters to fall into the whirlpool of seizing the heir, she and the eldest princess couldn't extricate themselves, and hoped that Xiao Ruihua could survive this battle for the heir safely.
"County Lord......"
"What are you talking about?"
The queen mother originally had something to look for the lord of Yongfu, because the lord of Yongfu was raised by the queen, and the queen did not let people report it, so she opened the tent curtain and entered the door, and asked in wonder, "Which Lord Xiao?" Yongfu, what didn't you hear? โ
The lord of Yongfu hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I said a little thing. You also know that she and Lord Xiao are newly married%...... They are so good that they are like honey and oil, and I am not envious of people who have not yet married me? Therefore I said in disgust that I did not hear it. โ
"Oh."
The queen no longer doubted, and was helped by the lord of Yongfu to sit down, and a clear sorrow could be seen between the queen's eyebrows, "You just talked to the palace, and the palace pondered for a while, and I also felt that what you thought was very appropriate, and the prince's illness really made the palace worried." โ
The queen is such a son, all the hope is in the prince, this time the prince suffered a loss, and he was very sick, the queen had no intention of having fun at all, "The palace only hopes to replace the prince with his body." โ
Jiang Luqi's eyes were hazy with tears, seeing that the queen mother was worried about her son's condition, she thought of her previous life, when her son was seriously ill but there was no good doctor because of the poverty of the family, she was also in the same pain as the queen, she didn't raise a son and didn't know the heart of her son, that kind of heart-wrenching pain, Jiang Luqi knew best, because not only did she have a serious son, but her children also died......
She didn't want to think back to that painful past.
"You ......"
"The Queen."
Jiang Luqi stepped forward and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely recover from his illness, as long as you ...... You can call Shaw to the paddock. โ
"What? Who is she? The queen seemed to see a glimmer of light, "Tell me about this palace, who is she?" โ
"If you ask His Royal Highness the Prince's cousin, you will know that Her Royal Highness the Prince's cough was cured by her."
The queen looked at Jiang Luqi carefully, "This palace knows you, you are ...... Xiao Ruihua's wife is a close friend of Yongfu. โ
The lord of Yongfu lowered his head, not daring to look at the queen, and secretly screamed in his heart, with the queen's cleverness, how could he not think that he had just told a lie? Jiang Luqi is very harmful, why is she stupid like this?
"Yongfu, this palace should thank you as a close friend."
"Xu It was your love for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that moved the heavens and made the Jiang family bring such news."
"The queen, the courtiers have never told the lord of Yongfu about this, the prince is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, how dare the courtiers admonish easily? It was really when I saw the pain of your mother, that the courtiers risked death to say it. โ
Jiang Luqi interjected on the side and gave a Yongfu county lord, don't worry, I won't betray your eyes, who makes us good friends.
The county lord of Yongfu has the intention of strangling Jiang Luqi in his heart at this time, Jiang Luqi is right in what he said and what he did is not wrong, but can you look at the occasion? Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? With a close friend like Jiang Luqi, the lord of Yongfu County has a short life of three years.
I've never seen someone talk to a close friend like this.
The lord of Yongfu didn't dare to raise his head, even if he did, he could feel the queen's warning gaze, and the lord of Yongfu felt a chill in his heart, it's over, the queen is afraid that she won't be too good to herself in the future.
"Jiang? Xiao Ruihua's wife? โ
"Yes."
"Okay, this palace remembers you."
The queen handed her wrist to Jiang Luqi, "Let's go, you go with the palace." โ
"But the courtiers are here to find ......" Jiang Luqi looked at the lord of Yongfu who was eager to disappear immediately, and the queen glanced at it lightly, "Yongfu, this palace called your close friend away, you won't be dissatisfied with this palace." โ
"Don't dare."
The county lord of Yongfu weakened his knees and knelt at the queen's feet, "Yongfu does not dare to have any disrespect to you. โ
"Mrs. Jiang, you should serve the queen well, I ...... I'll talk to you later. โ
"County Lord......"
Jiang Luqi didn't expect the county lord of Yongfu to be so 'polite'.
"Let's go, you have a good talk with the palace about Xiao's Zhuohua's medical skills, it just so happens that the nephew of the palace is also among the entourage, call him here, Xu is the prince's illness is saved."
"Yes."
Jiang Luqi has always wanted to get on the relationship with the queen, and this is also a good opportunity, isn't it?
Although the Lord of Yongfu didn't seem to be very happy, she really sympathized with the Queen Mother, and besides, didn't she help the Lord of Yongfu fulfill her lie?
She is not sorry for the lord of Yongfu.
After the queen left, the county lord of Yongfu had weak knees, and after a while, he stood up with the support of the maidservant, and said with a bitter smile: "How did I meet such a close friend?" The princess of King Qin is right, I don't know her, whoever knows her is unlucky. โ
"His Royal Highness the County Lord......"
"She's well-intentioned, but it's more vicious than malice!"
Who calculates the Lord of Yongfu, she can fight back, but how can she fight back against Jiang Luqi, who has 'kindness' towards her?
"You...... You find an opportunity to send a message to Lord Xiao and ask him to be careful...... I'm afraid that the secret of Ling Mei's medical skills can't be kept, so let him make arrangements as soon as possible. The lord of Yongfu said to the trusted maidservant: "Avoid the queen mother, you must be careful when you send news, be careful and be careful." โ
"Yes, slave and maid know."
The servant girl Peach nodded and agreed, bypassed the queen's eyeliner, and smoothly sent the news to Xiao Ruihua, who accompanied the driver.
Xiao Ruihua's face was solemn, and he arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Yongfu." โ
"Lord Xiao is polite." Pink stroked her body and walked away.
Xiao Ruihua didn't need to guess to know that his wife should have done a good thing...... Xiao Ruihua walked in the tent for a while, looking at the envelope on the desk, and hated the stupid Jiang Luqi in his heart...... Xiao Zhuohua has just been diagnosed with good news, but Huaixiang is not very stable, from the capital to the paddock, day and night riding horses have to run for three or four days, usually it is okay, Xiao Zhuohua has a body, it is in need of recuperation.
Her body may not be able to withstand the bumps once the miscarriage ...... It will have an impact on the future.
Moreover, it can be seen from the letter written by the sister-in-law that the sister-in-law is extremely happy, and the Jiang family also treats her sister as an ancestor, for fear that she will suffer a little bit.
"Damn, shit."
Xiao Ruihua shouldn't have relented for a while and brought Jiang Luqi to the paddock, not to mention the Jiang family, once Xiao Zhuohua healed the prince, Xiao Ruihua can only be a hardcore โกโก in the eyes of others, the emperor ...... Will you rest assured that your background is innocent and you haven't been co-opted by any prince like now?
If Xiao Ruihua has a certain foundation and family protection, he will vote for the prince, but now he relies on the emperor the most, once the emperor does not trust him enough, how can other princes allow him to be the prince's savior?
The ambitious prince didn't dare to do anything to the crown prince, and he couldn't deal with him?
Once he votes for the crown prince, he will completely lose his neutral position, and his influence in Shilin is not small, using his sister ...... Does this have a good reputation?
How difficult is it for Xiao Ruihua to have a good reputation today?
For this reason, he even gave up Jiang Luyao.
Xiao Ruihua's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, it was useless to say anything at this time, and no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't save the situation.
"Xianggong."
Compared with Xiao Ruihua's sorrow, Jiang Luqi seemed to be high-spirited, and the conversation with the queen was very smooth, and when she said goodbye to the queen, the queen almost treated her as a niece, Jiang Luqi was extremely proud, with the support of the queen and the prince, the princess was very happy.
Jiang Luqi saw that Xiao Ruihua's face was a little unsightly, thinking that he was worried about the prince's condition, and said with a smile: "Xianggong doesn't have to worry about His Royal Highness's condition...... I recommended a capable person to the queen's mother, you might as well guess, who is the capable person? โ
She winked playfully, "Give Xianggong a hint, it's very close to Xianggong......"
"What is behind you is a reward from the queen mother?" Xiao Ruihua's face sank like water, his eyes were cold, and the piles of cloth and jewelry meant nothing to him at all.
"Yes, the queen also said that I should accompany her often."
Jiang Luqi took out the jade plate from her waist, "With this jade card, I can see the queen mother at any time......"
"Smack." Xiao Ruihua raised his hand and gave Jiang Luqi a mouthful, "Idiot! โ
