(12) Mysterious beauty?
"I heard that the emperor has another headache today?"
A group of palace maids were cleaning on the road with brooms, and I don't know who provoked the conversation and led the topic to the things that everyone was most concerned about.
The emperor's gossip does not dare to mention it casually.
This should have been a topic that would have dissipated naturally after a cold scene, until ...... A hurried figure ran past them.
"That was Imperial Doctor Zhang just now?"
"It's been a few days, and you still don't recognize who he is?"
"It's not a problem to rush over from the outer courtyard every day, you see how many times he has dropped the medicine box on the threshold."
"Distressed?"
"Mai Dong, what nonsense are you talking about! Doctor Zhang, how dare we think about it. ”
"There's no way, the harem is a woman's place, and Imperial Doctor Zhang doesn't want to become a eunuch just to walk less."
"Isn't it a pity that Imperial Doctor Zhang is a talent, and he is a eunuch?"
"Pity? I don't know how many palace daughters rush to make his counterpart, Peach Leaf, you say yes. ”
"What do you say?"
"Yo yo yo ~ Let's peach leaves, this is Sichun!"
"Say no more!" Momoba covered her flushed cheeks and turned her back to stop looking at them, and there was a burst of laughter behind her.
"That Imperial Doctor is ...... today"
An ignorant palace maid in the crowd changed the topic, and everyone sighed with emotion: "It seems that Your Majesty does have a headache today." ”
"Isn't it? Father-in-law Xiao caught up with the shift at the gate of the Taihe Palace, and saw it with his own eyes, Your Majesty..."Mai Dong suddenly lowered his voice: "A stream of blood from his forehead slid down his nose, and he was confused when he wiped it!" ”
"Ahh The palace maids who were gathered around covered their lips in shock: "Your Majesty has been like this for the past few days?" ”
"yes!" Mai Dong sighed: "But there is no need to worry, Your Majesty is using countless rare medicinal materials, and it has been much better in the past few days, except... After receiving General Shen's good news, his forehead cracked when he showed off to his ministers......"
Since the emperor ascended the throne, there have been few such feats, and it is normal for His Majesty to be so happy, but it is inevitably quite funny with blood.
"Sister Mai Dong, you are well-informed, do you know how the wound on His Majesty's forehead came about?"
"This ......" Mai Dong hesitated for a moment: "General Manager Su has issued a gag order, and we people naturally have no way of knowing...... But..."
"But?"
"Oh, Mai Dong, don't sell it!"
"However, Your Majesty hurried back to the palace from Weifu before half of the private visit, so this injury must have been suffered from this trip."
"Your Majesty, has you met an assassin?"
"No, if it's an assassin, you should naturally ask for a beheading at noon and make an example of the monkey."
"That'...... Could it be that the Assassin was not captured? ”
"You're stupid!" After hearing the change of topic, Tao Ye, who returned to the team, knocked on the little palace maid's brain: "After Your Majesty returned to the palace, no wanted warrant was issued in the city, the patrol cycle of the guards has not changed, and there is no strict defense, so where did the assassin escape?" ”
"Taoye is right," Mai Dong sighed: "I don't know if you have noticed that since Your Majesty returned to the palace, he has been staying in the Jiaotai Palace, and he hasn't even tried the new masters." ”
"After all, Your Majesty is injured, and it is common for you to lose interest in the past few days, not to mention that Mrs. De delivers medicine every day, how can you think of the new master?"
"My sister is new," Momoye covered her mouth and smiled: "Our Majesty is famous for his penchant for beauties, as long as there is a newcomer in the palace, he will definitely go to talk to the beauty as soon as possible, and Mrs. De is gentle, where can stop Your Majesty." ”
"Good sisters, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush anymore."
Peach Leaf Mai Dong looked at each other and smiled.
"We can't guess how this injury came about, but it must be related to a girl."
Momoye added: "It has to be a beauty." ”
"The best, it's a beauty with outstanding appearance, a gentle temperament, a quick mind, and doesn't like to take care of Your Majesty!"
"After all, apart from such a woman, what else can make Your Majesty not go to the new little master for fifteen days?"
"But... What does this have to do with His Majesty's wounds? ”
"Your Majesty was injured when the micro-service went out on patrol, and it was also the micro-service after the patrol to guard the Jiaotai Palace, this beauty, naturally, was brought from outside the palace, and was injured every day by Your Majesty's side, so that Your Majesty was happy and forgetful."
"Besides, after Your Majesty returned to the palace from Weifu, there have been good news from the border pass one after another, at this moment, the beauty is not only a beauty, but also a blessed star from the sky, and she has to hide and guard it."
"Then is this beauty really a lucky star?"
"Providence is unpredictable, and the will of God is even more so, we just need to wait for the new nobleman."
A group of palace maids chattered and said something that was not brainy, from the emperor to the imperial doctor, from the micro-service to the non-existent beauty.
Anyway, this is the place of the middle courtyard, and there are not many nobles, masters, or outsiders.
Guarding the song workshop, dance workshop, and theater, accompanied by melodious or lingering tunes every day, sprinkling and sweeping the palace road every day, tired and tired, but also stable, most of the palace maids in the middle courtyard waited for twenty-five to be able to get out of the palace.
After laughing and making trouble, it's the right thing to do to keep working.
Those conjectures that linger in words will naturally not be taken to heart.
The palace ladies gathered around lifted their brooms again and returned to their original positions.
An Yu, who was standing in the crowd and gossiping with the palace maids, turned around with a helpless face.
She didn't even know that she was so extraordinary, and she could hook the emperor regardless of her injury and illness.
An Yu sighed, if it was really as those palace maids guessed, would he be able to get his wish?
At least...... The emperor's concubines are so many that they don't know where to go, and she can't even get the five big money she sold herself.
Thinking of his comrades outside the palace, An Yu became even more melancholy.

Wang Tao relied on a lot of military books and articles he had spent to become a gentleman in a small town on the edge of the imperial city, teaching children to read and write some simple sentences every day, and collecting some tuition fees to cope with life.
It's just that he has a good heart, and he is willing to be subordinate to any kind of restraint, and if he really doesn't have it, he allows them to crowd behind the school and listen to classes with the students, and occasionally send a few orphans home for dinner, so that they can't make ends meet.
"Lao Wang, today's firewood has been thrown at the door for you, you can move in by yourself later."
Wu Shijun's shouts came from outside the door, but Wang Tao ignored him and lectured the students seriously.
Wu Shijun slammed the dry firewood on his shoulder and threw it on the ground: "Really, you literati are taller, don't learn well, learn Chu Yuan and ignore people." ”
"Chu Yuan?" Wang Tao's wife came out with steamed buns: "He's back?" ”
"No," Wu Shijun wiped his hand on his waist, grabbed one casually, bit the steamed bun and said vaguely: "Since the young lady went back with the Dog Emperor, his figure is gone." ”
Wu Shijun said and glanced at Wang Xiuhua: "Why do you ask this?" What are you worried about when he's such a big person? and don't lose it, a stuffy gourd like him who doesn't talk all day long, people don't want him. ”
"Sister Lan also asked, didn't you?" Wang Xiuhua handed Wu Shijun a new steamed bun: "He is your junior brother, much younger than us, even if we grew up, the master also hurts tightly, and I haven't seen anyone these days, how can I not worry?" ”
"Don't talk about Lao Wu," Wang Tao came out of the inner room: "If he doesn't feel sorry for Chu Yuan, how can he read Chu Yuan's name in three sentences and two sentences?" ”
"Who said that, I didn't, I waited for him to come back and break his legs!"
Wang Tao and his wife saw that he had a hard mouth, so they looked up at the sky and ignored the goods.
After a long time, Wu Shijun stuffed the last piece of steamed bun into his mouth, and complained to anyone: "Where do you say this kid can go?" Can he still follow the young lady to the palace? ”
