Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Wish Is Unfulfilled
Although Zhang Manjing did not treat Shang Xiaoxiao, Lei Huofeng still hid in the shadows after Zhang Manjing returned to the imperial city by boat and shot her to death with an arrow.
Seeing this, Qin Li guessed in his heart that there should be some reason why Lei Huofeng did that.
The first is to let Wang Ye, who took Zhang Manjing away and went to treat Shang Xiaoxiao, know: You take a female doctor to treat your good friend today, and I will kill the female doctor. If you don't return to the imperial city in time and return to Princess An, then your good fate will be the same as that of the female doctor.
The second is to let Princess An know that no matter who hurt her, he will not let that person go. Whether that person is the respected Prince An, or the female doctor Zhang Manjing, who has treated the Queen Mother and prepared pills, he will not be afraid of them.
Qin Li looked at the words on the letter again, and saw that Zhao Sheng mentioned in the letter the matter of Prince An's eldest son.
It is written in the letter that Prince An has only one princess of the main palace, Murong Ying, and no other concubines.
Murong Ying gave birth to two sons for Prince An, the eldest son Zhao Ying and the second son Zhao Mao.
The eldest son, Zhao Yingsheng, is handsome, smart since childhood, and follows Princess An to practice martial arts, and has superb martial arts. Like Prince An, he is proficient in calligraphy and music, and in the imperial city, I don't know how many famous ladies love him.
But Zhao Ying's marriage was decided by his mother, and he married the daughter of a military general.
Zhao Ying's wife did not add an heir to Zhao Ying after marriage, probably because of this reason, Zhao Ying had to accept his mother's proposal and accepted a few more concubines.
But Zhao Ying's concubines, after marrying into Anwangfu, were the same as Zhao Ying's wife, and did not give Zhao Ying a child.
Prince An and Princess An rarely have the same opinion on the matter of the eldest son having no heirs, that is, they support Zhao Ying to continue to take concubines until which concubine gives birth to a child to Zhao Ying......
Qin Mansion.
After Qin Li read the letter in the bedroom, he quickly understood that it was no fun for Prince An to let his eldest son Zhao Ying marry Chu Xinyan, the youngest daughter of Shang.
Because of Zhao Ying's marriage, Princess An has to have the final say.
Princess An has always looked down on Shang Xiaoxiao, how could she accept that Shang Xiaoxiao's daughter Chu Xinyan would marry her eldest son Zhao Ying?
Not to mention, Chu Xinyan is just a concubine of Chu Heng, even if Chu Xinyan is Chu Heng's concubine, Princess An will not agree to let Chu Xinyan marry Zhao Ying as his wife.
Because Princess An was born in a family of gate valves, she has a strong sense of superiority in her bones, and it is impossible to look at people with ordinary family backgrounds.
You must know that in the past, the emperor chose officials based on their family background. For more than 700 years, the gate lord aristocracy almost monopolized important positions in the court and became hereditary bureaucrats.
Although in this dynasty, the gate valve aristocracy has fallen, but Princess An, who was born in a famous noble, has not lost much in her bones.
Princess An knows Shang Xiao's true identity, but she is just a princess of the dead country in Nanyu Kingdom.
Before the Southern Yu Kingdom was destroyed by Emperor Taizu, it was only a small country in the south, and the population in the capital Jiayu City was only one million, which could not be compared with the imperial city.
What's more, the generals who followed Emperor Taizu and went to destroy the Southern Yu Kingdom also had the old general Murong.
Shang Xiaoxiao is the youngest daughter of the king of the dead country, and Chu Xinyan, the daughter of Shang Xiaoxiao, also has the blood of the king of the dead country. In this way, how can Princess An, who has always been high, accept that Chu Xinyan should be the princess of her eldest son, Ying'er?
As long as Princess An doesn't agree, even if Prince An made a promise to Shang Xiaoxiao, it will be in vain.
After reading the letter, Qin Li put the pieces of paper that could no longer see any handwriting into the brazier and burned them.
When Qinghe saw it, he hurriedly said to Qin Li: "Miss, every time you read a letter, you have to use a small glass of medicinal wine. I don't know how many letters are left in that jar of medicine and wine for you to read. ”
When others write letters, they don't use such rare objects like the third prince and the young lady. Use it once, it's a little less. I don't know if after the young lady uses up those medicinal wines, she will know that the third prince has her in his heart.
Qin Li heard the overtones of the words, this Qinghe just wanted to say that she would accept the third prince's heart for her before the wine in the wine jar ran out.
It's not going to work.
Isn't it good for her to be the third son's confidant and friend?
Moreover, she had heard from others that the emperor had told the third prince that he would let him choose a woman to marry. But in his letters to her, he only made an understatement of the incident, as if he was deliberately trying to hide it from her.
The more he did this, the more uneasy she felt.
Qin Li picked up the tongs and was about to add some charcoal to the brazier, but saw that Qinghe quickly took the tongs from her hand and said to her, "Miss, let the maid come." How can the young lady do all this work by herself? ”
Upon hearing this, Qin Li felt helpless. It's just that adding a few pieces of charcoal has become the part of the maidservants, and she is not allowed to do it.
"I worked in the pharmacy, sometimes in the miscellaneous room to collect the herbs, and after half an hour, my face, hands, and clothes were covered with ash. I can do all that work, so why can't I add some charcoal myself? ”
Qinghe looked at Qin Li with pity and said, "The maid has learned from Miss at home, and she will also clean up the medicinal herbs." Otherwise, the young lady will take the maid to the pharmacy to do the work in the future, just to help. ”
As soon as she heard Qinghe say that she was willing to go with her to help in the pharmacy, Qin Li was happy in her heart. But she didn't want to take Qinghe to help in the pharmacy for the time being, first, because there was no shortage of people to help in the pharmacy, and secondly, she had to let Qinghe stay at home and help Ziqin and them clean the house together.
Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, I have to clean up my home so that I can spend the New Year at home.
Qin Li looked at Qinghe with a smile and said, "Okay, I'm happy that you're willing to help me." Why don't I take you over to help after the Chinese New Year? ”
Qinghe looked delighted, "Okay, thank you, Miss." ”
Suddenly, I remembered that my wife had said that the young lady had been working in the pharmacy in the past few months, whether it was to collect medicinal herbs, or to catch medicines, or even to treat people, she could do what satisfied the customers.
Of course, it can also make Hu Langzhong satisfied.
The people in the government sent a document to the young lady, admitting that the young lady was a qualified female doctor. However, in the past two years, the young lady can only treat patients in a medical center like Hu Kee Pharmacy or Yan Chai Fang, and cannot go out to open a pharmacy alone.
When the young lady heard this, she promised the people in the government that she would definitely listen to them and stay in the Hu Ji Pharmacy to be a female doctor.
The fact that the young lady became a qualified female doctor was quickly spread by the doctors in Hu Kee's pharmacy. In less than a day, it spread all over Jiayu City and beyond.
In the early morning of the next day, many matchmakers came to the Qin Mansion to propose marriage for the young lady......
Qinghe remembered that incident at this time, thinking that Qin Li didn't know for the time being, so he hurriedly told her.
"Miss, you don't know, after you became a qualified female doctor, many people came to our house to propose marriage for you. The sons they mentioned, but there is no one who is inferior to Fu Gongzi. ”
Of course, there is no one who can win the third son.
In the latter sentence, although Qinghe didn't say it, Qin Li could see some clues from Qinghe's expectant eyes looking at her. is nothing more than to say that the third son treats her well and hopes that she will cherish the third son's affection for her.
