Chapter 166: Knowing the Truth
a thousand taels of silver......
Almost without thinking about it, Chen Yetan responded: "Brother is in trouble, I can't help it, make a deal, give a deposit of five hundred taels first!" ”
Seeing Chen Yetan so shrewd, Shang Kelin couldn't help but glance at him with disgust, and then slowly took out a silver ticket from his arms and gave it to him.
"Alright, you just wait for my news!"
Taking the silver ticket, Chen Yetan waved his hand to Shang Kelin with a smile, jumped forward, and left the imperial study.
That night, the Royal Palace.
Jin Yantang came to Cining Palace with Fu Qingxi, and as soon as he walked into the side hall, he saw the Queen Mother lying on the beauty couch, and Concubine Jia, who was dressed in a pink dress, sat beside the Queen Mother.
The two talked and laughed, as if they were talking about some happy event.
On the side, Mama Chen quietly reminded: "Concubine Jia, Queen Mother, Your Majesty is here." ”
When the two of them heard this, they raised their eyes and looked, a flash of joy flashed in Concubine Jia's eyes, and she hurriedly got up and saluted Jin Yantang.
"See Your Majesty for concubines, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an."
Her voice is delicate and beautiful.
Jin Yantang nodded to her, and then said, "Concubine Jia, you should step back first, I have something important to discuss with the queen mother." ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother patted the back of Concubine Jia's hand and said with a smile: "Child, go, come back to talk to the mourning family later." ”
Concubine Jia nodded reluctantly and took Bai Shao to the main hall.
There are only two people left in the side hall, Mama Chen, and Fu Qingxi.
Jin Yantang sat down in front of the Queen Mother, helped her sit up, and said, "Queen Mother, my son has something I want to discuss with you." ”
When Jin Yantang rarely used this tone to talk to her, yes, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, looked at him and said, "What's the matter, say it." ”
"The triennial draft time is approaching, but my treasury is empty, I am busy with government affairs, I have no intention of harem, there are too many beauties in the harem, and I can't take care of it, so if someone talks about this matter in front of the queen mother, please ask the queen mother to shirk one or two."
Jin Yantang told the Queen Mother the purpose of this trip, and the Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully and said: "It's good that you are dedicated to the people now, but our Jin family can't do without children, you have to work harder!" ”
The Queen Mother avoided the important and did not answer Jin Yantang's words positively, obviously not wanting to agree to him.
After all, the Queen Mother still puts her children first, if Jin Yantang has a child, where does she need to spend so much effort?
Yes, after Jin Yantang was silent for a while, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, let's talk about it later." ”
No one can persuade the Queen Mother to make up her mind, since she is not on her side and has made her position clear, then Jin Yantang is a waste of tongue no matter how much she says.
Suddenly, the Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows, and her face was a little ugly.
On the side, Mama Chen saw this, and hurriedly took out the cream in her hand and applied it to her temples.
I saw Mama Chen looking at the Queen Mother nervously and asking, "Niangniang, do you feel better?" ”
The Queen Mother slowly lowered her fingers, slightly loosened her brows, nodded and said, "It's going to be better, fortunately there is the cream cream sent by the queen, otherwise I am afraid that the headache of the mourning family will not be cured." ”
Listening to the words of the two in his ears, Jin Yantang's eyes moved slightly.
He looked at the Queen Mother worriedly and said, "Queen Mother, are you unwell, is your headache serious?" ”
As we all know, the Queen Mother's headache was left over when she followed Old Man Jin to fight.
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to answer, Mama Chen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's body has been getting worse and worse recently, and the slaves and maids know that they shouldn't say this, but the Queen Mother doesn't want you to worry, so she lets the slaves hide it from you." ”
"Mama Chen!" Reading nests
The Queen Mother frowned and hurriedly shouted.
Mama Chen was silent at this time, but Jin Yantang stared at her and said, "How long has the Queen Mother been sick?" ”
Mama Chen hurriedly lowered her head, and said with a flickering look in her eyes: "Back to Your Majesty, it started to get serious five days ago." ”
Hearing this, Jin Yantang said to Fu Qingqing: "Spread the message that Imperial Doctor Li has come to see you." ”
The Imperial Physician Li he said refers to Li Chenxiu.
Seeing Jin Yantang's appearance, the Queen Mother couldn't help but say helplessly: "It's just a little headache, the mourning family has already let the Su court judge see it, and the Su court judge said that as long as you eat some food supplements, it's no problem, why are you making such a fuss and letting Imperial Doctor Li come to treat the mourning family?" ”
Jin Yantang looked at her and explained: "Queen Mother, Li Chenxiu was born in a medical family and inherited the essence of the medical skills of the ancients. ”
Although his words are flat, they are not indifferent, and people can hear the nervousness in his words.
For family affection, Jin Yantang has always taken it very seriously.
The Queen Mother looked at him for a while, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
While the two were talking, they didn't notice that when Mama Chen lowered her head, her hands were clasped tightly together, and she seemed to be very nervous.
It's just that everyone didn't notice it, and when Jin Yantang looked at the Queen Mother, his afterglow glanced at the cream in Mama Chen's hand.
What kind of ointment is it that makes the Queen Mother feel no headache when she applies it?
At this time, inside the elegant palace.
Shang Kelan was lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, Gardenia fed her a thick porridge, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has sent a message, and I will come over later." ”
Shang Kelan nodded, looked at her and said, "Has the reply from the family letter been sent?" ”
She misses the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and her relatives very much.
Seeing this, Gardenia comforted: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the reply should have already reached the eldest prince, right?" ”
Hearing this, Shang Kelan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, gardenia's eyes moved slightly, covered her with a quilt and said, "Niangniang, rest first, slave maid go to see Xiaoxia." ”
After Shang Kelan saw her leave, she fell into a deep sleep, and for some reason, she was always very sleepy these days.
The cold was gradually becoming less serious, and this was all the result of taking the pills given by Li Chenxiu, and her body was recovering little by little.
After turning around and leaving the dormitory, Gardenia put the things on the tray in the side hall, and then went to Xiaoxia's room.
After being beaten by the board and recuperating for a few days, Xiaoxia was barely able to walk.
At night, thirsty, she had just fumbled her way to the table and poured herself a glass of water, when she saw Gardenia walk in.
In the room, Zhiqiu was already asleep.
Xiaoxia couldn't help but look at Gardenia and said, "Sister Gardenia, why are you here?" ”
Gardenia sat opposite her, and after making a "shhh" gesture to her, she said, "Xiaoxia, on the day of the Midyear Festival, what happened to the red-clothed boy you met with Niangniang, can you tell me?" ”
Xiaoxia's face changed, and she waved her hand and said, "Niangniang said that she can't say it, otherwise the man in red will hear it, and my mother and I will lose our lives!" ”
Gardenia patiently persuaded: "Standing here just the two of us, no matter how high the martial arts of the man in red are, will he still be clairvoyant and downwindy?" ”
Hearing this, Xiaoxia nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Gardenia said made sense, so she told the scene of seeing Wang Yifeng and the queen meeting in the woods that day.
Gardenia listened patiently, but she couldn't help but be more and more shocked in her heart.
No wonder Concubine Chen wanted to hide this matter, the queen turned out to be such an ambitious person!
