One of the palace 'women' turned around and entered, and after half a cup of tea, she came out, bowed to me, and said, "It's the county lord of Deyi, right?" Just follow me in, the Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time. ”

I bowed my head slightly, said "hard", and followed her inside, also bowing my head and obeying the rules.

It feels as if I have entered three 'doors', and there is an extremely elegant fragrance on my face, and a layer of scarlet 'color' long plush 'hair' blanket is spread on the ground, knowing that it must be in the queen mother's bedroom.

The palace 'girl' replied respectfully: "The county lord of Deyi has arrived." ”

Someone above casually said "um", and the palace 'girl' took three steps back, turned around and retreated.

I secretly raised my eyes to take a look, the curtains in front of me were hanging low, the gilded Dan Crane hollow incense burner, the embroidered screen of the cold river and snow alone, the Dongpo chair, the pineapple case, and a few pots of blooming rhododendrons.

I know the yarn used in the curtain in front of me, it is my Su family's unique spinning skills, it seems to be thin, but it is a double layer, from the inside to see the light outside, I can see clearly and understand, and standing in my position, looking inside, I can only vaguely see the shadow and longing.

Someone was lazily half-leaning and half-lying on a concubine's floor, supporting his forehead with his hands, and someone in front of him was standing bent, shaking the fan unhurriedly.

Knowing that my words and deeds were now being looked upon by others, I hurriedly lowered my head, bowed myself to the ground, and respectfully saluted in greeting.

There was no movement for a long time, only an occasional light cough, which sounded particularly harsh in the silence and dreary room, as if it were tugging on the heartstrings.

I didn't dare to move, so I could only bow my head and look very respectful.

"It's also a good etiquette, it looks like it's clean without powder." It seemed to be a long time before a slow voice sounded: "It's just too arrogant, and there is no one in sight." ”

I don't know how I can make such an assessment, and I can't be reckless in justification.

"No one in sight? Queen Mother, you are too tolerant and merciful, where is she in her eyes, it is clear that she has no king's law, and she simply doesn't look at you in her eyes. It was Concubine Ling's voice, a little snarky. It turned out that she made a stumbling block for me in front of the Queen Mother.

"It's also said that there is no connivance, lest someone behind her back, which will fuel her arrogance. Drag it down, first slap your mouth twenty, to set an example. "Extraordinarily understated.

Immediately, there were stout palace people who couldn't help but say that they stepped forward and dragged me.

If I swallow my anger at this time, and hit twenty mouths, I guess all my teeth will be lost.

"Dare to ask what crime the Queen Mother convicted of Qing Wu?" I struggled twice and asked.

The curtain was gently lifted from both sides, and Concubine Ling slowly walked out from behind the curtain, holding an embroidered 'flower' fan, with a proud face: "Don't work the Queen Mother, let me ask you, do you know why the Queen Mother announced that you entered the palace?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Queen Mother's phoenix body is not harmonious. ”

"So you know. Then let me ask you again, when did you enter the palace? ”

It's really coming! I felt a 'stir' and 'swing' in my heart, and I tried so hard to cure me for the crime of delaying the timing and being disrespectful. It's just that I don't know if it was the Queen Mother's instructions, or if Concubine Ling made her own decisions?

"The time." I'm telling the truth.

Since it was a trap, someone must have already reported the news, and the time when I entered the palace naturally couldn't be hidden.

Concubine Ling sneered: "I entered the palace at the right time, and now it's almost noon!" The palace 'gate' is more than a quarter of an hour away from Puning Palace at most, but you have used so much time, even if you climb, you should have climbed there a long time ago.

The Queen Mother was anxious, and ordered three groups of people to greet you halfway, but you were not seen, but where did you go to wander around and ignore the Queen Mother? Even the Queen Mother doesn't look at it? ”

I couldn't help but be in a cold sweat, no wonder halfway through, my father-in-law told me not to look around, I could only bow my head and hurry. I thought he was kind, but I don't know how much of a circle he took me.

Thanks to the fact that he has been hit by my silver needle now, he still can't move, otherwise now, that Duke Fuquan would definitely point to my nose and accuse: "The county lord of Deyi is greedy for the scenery in the royal 'flower' garden all the way, and he can't be urged by the slaves. ”

No matter how I defend myself, I am afraid that this big rebellious hat is also firmly fastened on my head.

Thanks to the early reminder at the beginning of summer, I was wary and made a decision immediately.

"Queen Mother, the young woman is really wronged." I broke away from the palace man who was clamping my arms and said loudly.

"Let her go," said the Queen Mother behind the curtain unhurriedly, "I would like to hear what she has to say." ”

The two palace people took two steps back, I raised my head, and said to the queen mother behind the curtain: "The delay for this long time is not the intention of the young woman, it is really urgent, and I have no choice but to do it." ”

"Why?" The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.

"Father-in-law Fuquan, who led the way for Qingwu, suddenly suffered from heat stroke halfway and was unconscious. The young woman was afraid that shouting loudly would offend the nobles in the palace, so she could only rescue herself. When Fuquan's father-in-law was safe, he intercepted two fathers-in-law who were passing by, one to help take care of him, and the other to quickly bring Qingwen to meet the Queen Mother. Please also ask the Queen Mother to be clear. ”

"Is that true?" Behind the curtain, there is the sound of clothes and ribbons squirming, the sound of very shallow tea cups bumping, and the smoke is mixed with a rich tea aroma.

"Every sentence is true, don't dare to deceive the Queen Mother." I'm categorical.

There were footsteps around him, and it should have been a palace person who walked out and whispered a few words, but after a while, he walked back, entered the tent, and whispered in front of the queen mother.

Then the curtain was slowly opened by the palace people, and the queen mother said in a deep voice: "Get up and speak." ”

I thanked the Queen Mother for her forgiveness, and stood up, still bowing my head.

"Come and speak. Wheat, give sitting. ”

The palace people respectfully whispered that they should have moved a brocade and released it under the queen mother.

Concubine Ling whispered: "Don't be deceived by her pitiful appearance. She has always spoken about lotus 'flowers', and she is used to 'flowers' and clever words, even the emperor ......"

The Queen Mother waved her hand unhappily: "How many times have you said this 'problem' to you, and you always don't change it, I naturally know it in my heart." ”

Concubine Ling was immediately silenced and stopped talking.

The Queen Mother beckoned to me, I walked over, leaned over and thanked the Queen Mother for sitting, turned half of my body sideways, and sat down in front of the Queen Mother, so that I dared to raise my eyelids and see the Queen Mother clearly.

I thought that as the mother of a country, I should be an old man with gray hair, more majestic and imposing than my grandmother. In fact, the Queen Mother is not very old, and she looks much younger than her actual age.

She is not dressed up, although the palace dress is naturally gorgeous and the embroidery is cumbersome, but there are not too many cumbersome hairpin rings on her head, plus she is usually well maintained, and her skin is still as good as a twenty-eight young 'woman'.

Concubine Ling stood behind her, probably to show her powerful status in the palace, wearing heavy makeup and dressing, and showing her old age. The two of them are like sisters 'flowers'.

The queen was not stern, but very kind, sat up, looked me up and down for a long time, and asked me in detail about my birthday, the situation at home, especially my aunt's hometown, age, and what she looked like. I respectfully whispered, not daring to hide anything.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and after pondering for a while, she asked me again: "Then who did you learn your medical skills from?" ”

"Empress Dowager, Qingwen has worshiped the Holy Hand Bodhisattva of Yunwu Mountain as her teacher since she was a child."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she asked me a little strangely: "Since you are the 'daughter' of the Su family, it is not good to stay in the boudoir and study the boudoir training 'girl' red, why did you go all the way to Yunwu Mountain to study medicine?" ”

I don't know if the Queen Mother was a little disgusted with me studying medicine when she asked me like this, so I could only reply truthfully: "Qingwu has been weak and sick since she was a child, and the doctors in the house are helpless, so my aunt had no choice but to give up and send me to the mountain to recuperate." ”

The Queen Mother looked me up and down with an inquiring gaze: "I heard that you are not only good at medicine, but you can also make a silver needle?" ”

I was stared at by the Queen Mother: "It's just that I learned some skin 'hair' from the master." ”

"What is your master's name, and where is your master?" The Queen Mother continued to ask questions step by step.

I can't help but feel more and more inexplicable, the Queen Mother announced me to Puning Palace on the grounds of diagnosis, why didn't she let me see a doctor, and didn't talk about the condition, blindly digging into the bottom of the matter, and inquiring about my aunt and master's family history, and why? Could it be that I heard some rumors about me and Liang Ci, so I interrogated them in detail?

Therefore, I continued to respectfully say: "My master, the people of Jinling are all called 'Master Hagi', which is her maiden name, and I heard that the medical skills are the family heirloom of her Jinling husband. ”

"Then it shouldn't be her." The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment and said to herself. At that moment, there was a deep disappointment and gloom in his eyes.

Trouble came out of my mouth, I naturally didn't dare to say more, I lowered my head and wondered who the "she" in the queen mother's mouth was? Could it be the person that Mama Hou kept talking about when she was in Yangzhou City?

The Queen Mother was obviously depressed, and casually stretched out her wrist to me: "I have been suffering from insomnia for many years, tossing and turning at night, and my head is so sleepy that I can't sleep." Even if you barely close your eyes, they are extremely shallow, and you wake up coldly at the slightest disturbance. I also took a lot of soup 'medicine' conditioning, but it always didn't work. ”

I put my fingertips on her wrist and looked at her with great care, and there was nothing wrong with her pulse, which was calm and strong.

It should be like my grandmother, who is overthought and lacks activity on weekdays, and her body is tired, so she naturally can't sleep soundly. Therefore, my grandmother always likes to go to the Fuhua Nunnery to live, the diet is light, and there is no complicated and trivial tiring, and she can walk around, so she can naturally sleep well.

To put it simply, it's purely idle.

But in front of the Queen Mother, the wording naturally has to be considered. Because she doesn't have any symptoms of discomfort on her body, I can't tell her directly, you have nothing to do to find some work, and when you are tired, you will naturally fall asleep on the pillow, which is disrespectful.

I can't say: You are too busy, worried and anxious, so you can't sleep on the pillow, that's what you dare to say with your head, isn't it obvious to persuade people to give up this position in charge of the sixth house?

The imperial doctor in the palace is not an ornament, how can he not understand the truth, do not seek no merit, but seek no fault, who wants to be this bird?
