Chapter 19: Meet the Virtuous Concubine

Everyone present followed the hand of the Seventh Prince, and looked at Shen Shu who was standing below, Shen Shu's body was stunned, but he set his eyes on the emperor who was in the upper position.

Whether this matter can be done or not depends on Mu Lingxuan's meaning.

Mu Lingxuan followed Mu Lingchen's fingers and looked down, and then said very approvingly, "The woman behind Jing Guiren's body looks like Zhou Zheng, which family's daughter is it?" ”

"The people's daughter Zhou Qiong sees the emperor, long live the emperor." Behind Shen Shu, a gentle voice sounded.

"Zhou Qiongqing? Is it the daughter of Master Zhou's family? The emperor asked again.

"Yes." Zhou Qiongqing replied respectfully.

"Brother Huang, the woman that Brother Huang said..."Mu Lingchen's face was anxious.

"Ling Chen!" The Queen Mother suddenly called sternly, "Pay attention to proportion, in front of the emperor, how can you be so rude." ”

At this time, how could the Queen Mother not understand. These seven princes have taken a fancy to the Jing nobles who have just entered the emperor's seal.

But since the emperor has sealed it, he has no intention of making concessions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used the excuse to talk about the daughter of Master Zhou's family.

If the Seventh Prince is allowed to continue to mess around, maybe the emperor will be annoyed.

So the Queen Mother spoke, "This old seventh is also at the age of marrying, since the seventh child has fallen in love with the girl of Taishi Zhou's family, then the mourning family will be the master and give marriage to the two of them!" The daughter of the Taishi family is also worthy of being the concubine of the Seventh Prince. ”

"What the Queen Mother said, then follow what the Queen Mother said!" As soon as the emperor's words came out, the matter was decided.

Although the queen doesn't like beauties like Shen Shu to enter the palace, she is still happy to do so, except for the beauty of the princess.

"In that case, the marriage of the Seventh Emperor Brother will be handled by the palace himself!" The queen mother said to the queen mother with a smile.

"Then there will be Queen Lao." The Queen Mother was very pleased.

After such a small episode, during the later draft, the queen mother and the queen were in charge, and three more women were selected to enter the palace.

Such a huge draft, but only six people were selected. And in the palace of the Tanglin Kingdom, there are only a dozen concubines. Many others are unknown.

can make the emperor remember, there are only three or four in the harem.

The draft was decided, and Shen Shu, as a nobleman, was assigned to the palace of Concubine Xian.

In the previous palace draft, Concubine Xian did not participate, and I heard that she was sick. Now that Concubine Xian is the head of the first palace, and Shen Shu is a noble person in her palace, she naturally wants to go to ask for peace.

After the draft, Yurun and Yuzhuo entered the palace, the palace was ready-made, and there was no need to clean it up, and there were not many things they brought into the palace, so they were quickly cleaned up. In addition to Yurun and Yuzhuo, there are four little palace maids in the palace.

Shen Shu instructed Yuzhuo to stay in the palace and let Yurun accompany him to ask Concubine Xian for peace.

At first, the palace maid beside Concubine Xian said that Concubine Xian had fallen asleep and was exempt from asking for peace. But the noble man Jing didn't leave, but said, "I know that Concubine Xian is sick, I have tea shipped from the Western Chu Kingdom here, and I want to drink with Concubine Xian, so as to comfort Concubine Xian's homesickness." ”

The palace maid went in again and went back to pay homage, and then came out again, saying that Concubine Xian Niangniang had woken up and let Jing Guiren in.

When Jing Guiren and Concubine Xian Niangniang met, their eyes contained tears.

Concubine Xian coughed twice, and then ordered the palace maid beside her, "Go and bring my decoction!" ”

The palace maid said with some embarrassment, "Niangniang, that medicine is drunk at night, and it hasn't been fried yet?" ”

"Hongu feels very uncomfortable, you can go and decoct the medicine now!"

"Yes." The little maid went.

Then, Concubine Xian Niangniang instructed another palace maid, "You go to the kitchen to make some fresh pastries for Jing Guiren to taste." ”

"Yes." Another maid also went out.

Jing Guiren instructed Yurun again, "You can also go to the kitchen to help!" ”

In the entire inner hall, when there were only Concubine Xian and Jing Guiren, the two of them looked at each other and looked at each other without saying a word.

Chu Yuege couldn't believe it and cried with joy, "Sister, is it you?" ”

Chu Shuyao also burst into tears, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Chu Yuege's hand, "Sister, it's me." ”

"Sister." Chu Yuege suddenly lost her voice and cried bitterly.

The two sisters reunited after a long absence, and they were in a foreign land together, and they were very sad, and they hugged their heads and cried for a long time.

When the two of them calmed down, Chu Yuege asked, "Why did my sister enter the palace too?" At the beginning, my father announced your death, but I knew that my sister would not die so easily. But now, why have you entered the palace too? ”

Chu Shuyao didn't answer, but said, "You are in the palace, you are not doing well?" ”

Chu Yuege's face was miserable, "It's just a false name for this virtuous concubine." It was the princess sent by Xichu to negotiate peace, how could it be good? ”

"It's only been a few days since I entered the palace? Of the two people I brought into the palace, one is dead, and the other is still serving in Xinzheku? Now the people around me are all sent by the Tanglin Kingdom to spy on me. ”

"Sister, sometimes, I really feel like I can't live."

"Don't worry, you won't die. Tanglin Kingdom does not dare to let you die. Because you are the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom. ”

"What else would they not dare." Chu Yuege screamed in horror and anger.

"Father, he's dead, you must know it, right? Otherwise, you won't enter the palace. That is my father, the lord of a country in the Western Chu Kingdom, who was assassinated by the people of the Tanglin Kingdom in his palace. ”

"What else would they not dare? Maybe they'll kill me at any time. I died in this Tanglin Palace, and no one cared about me. Chu Yuege was frightened and shrunk, she was really frightened.

Chu Shuyao felt distressed for a while, her originally lively and lovely sister was tortured into this appearance by the people of Tanglin Kingdom in just a few days.

"Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll protect you. As long as I'm here, I'll never let you have anything to do. You believe me, don't you? ”

Chu Shuyao's persuasion and inducement made Chu Yuege's mood stabilize.

Chu Yuege muttered to herself, "Yes, sister, you are the princess, you have the best way." As long as you're there, there's going to be a way. ”

Chu Yuege suddenly laughed, "Sister, it's good to have you." ”

"Yes, so, you have to cheer up and wait for your sister to take you out of this Tanglin Palace, which eats people and doesn't spit out bones."

"Okay." Chu Yuege nodded expectantly.

"Let me see your condition first." Chu Shuyao said, she had already taken the pulse for Chu Yuege.

Chu Shuyao's queen mother is from a medical family, so since she was a child, she has followed her mother to learn medical skills. She can deal with ordinary minor illnesses and disasters properly.

It's just that after she touched Chu Yuege's pulse, her eyes became darker and darker.

It's not an ordinary illness at all, it's like poisoning. As for what kind of poison it was, she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Unexpectedly, in this Tanglin Palace, there are really people who want Yuege to die. This poison will make people extremely weak, and when they finally die, others will only think that they are sick and dead. What a sinister intention!

However, she didn't tell Chu Yuege about the poisoning, so as not to make her scared and panicked.

"It's just an ordinary illness, I'll prescribe a prescription for you, and I'll take you medicine until the disease is cured."

When she said this, Chu Yuege laughed relaxedly.

At this time, the palace maid who decocted the medicine had already come in with the decoction.

"Niangniang, the decoction has been decocted." The palace maid directly handed the decoction to Concubine Xian's bedside, and Chu Shuyao, who was standing beside the bed, smelled something wrong with the decoction.

The decoction is sweet and bitter, but in this decoction, there is clearly a sour and rotten smell. It's just masked by the bitterness of the decoction. If you don't smell it carefully, you won't notice it.

And Chu Shuyao, who has been a doctor since elementary school, has a sensitivity to the smell of medicinal herbs that ordinary people do not have.

After realizing that something was wrong, Chu Shuyao said, "This decoction is still too hot, you put it next to the bed first, and after a while, I will personally serve Niangniang to drink the medicine!" ”

The palace maid Rong'er thought that Jing Guiren, the new lord of the palace, could not recognize the situation in the palace clearly. As long as there is the name of a virtuous concubine, he is a favored master, so he wants to stammer.

So he was also happy to be idle, and put the decoction on the small table next to the bed, "Then there is a noble person who is Lao Jing." ”

Chu Shuyao nodded, "The girl doesn't have to wait here, if you have something to do, then go ahead!" ”

"Yes." The palace maid Rong'er really left happily.

From the very beginning, Chu Shuyao could see that this palace maid named Rong'er was a little absent-minded and a little impatient. There must be something else to do.

That's why she asked her to leave, and she would leave so happily that she even threw aside the duty of monitoring Concubine Xian.

Chu Yuege was not stupid, and saw Chu Shuyao's intentions. After the palace maid Rong'er left, she asked, "What?" Is there a problem with this decoction? ”

Chu Shuyao frowned and shook her head, "I don't know yet." However, it is not beneficial to your illness, so don't drink it yet. Don't startle the snake, the medicine will still let the palace maid fry it, just pour it out secretly. ”

"Okay." Chu Yuege nodded cautiously and fearfully.

"You have a good rest first, and I'll go back and get you some medicine." I have just entered the palace, and it is not appropriate to stay with you for long, so as not to provoke people's eyes, so I will go back first. ”

"I'll bring some of this medicine back first." Chu Shuyao said, pouring the medicine into a teapot.

When Yurun and another palace maid Xiu'er came back with fresh pastries, Concubine Xian asked Jing Guiren to taste the pastries.

Jing Guiren ate a piece and said that it tasted good, so Concubine Xian asked Jing Guiren to bring the pastry back to eat. Jing Guiren gladly accepted.

Before leaving, Jing Guiren said that Concubine Xian's tea set was chic, and Concubine Xian Niangniang generously gave a complete set of tea sets to Jing Guiren.

Jing Guiren didn't shirk it, and directly let his palace maid hold the tea set, but he was afraid that the palace maid would not be able to hold it and picked up the teapot.

When Jing Guiren came, he only brought a bag of tea, but when he left, he took a set of tea sets and many pastries.

After the Jing nobleman left, the palace maid Xiu'er pouted and said, "This Jing nobleman doesn't look like he's here to ask for peace, it's like he's here to fight the autumn breeze." is so childish, still a nobleman? ”

The virtuous concubine, who has always been cowardly, suddenly became ruthless, "Shut up, Jing Guiren is the master, arguing about the master, what crime should be done, I don't need to say it, you should also be clear!" ”

Xiu'er had never seen such a ruthless concubine, so she immediately felt a little weak-hearted, and said timidly, "The slave knows that she is wrong, and the virtuous concubine forgives her sins." ”

"Get out!" Concubine Xian waved her hand impatiently.
