Chapter 249: It's Worth It
A few days after talking to the Queen Mother about this, Jiang Ruonan was summoned by Emperor Jing Xuan.
Since Jiang Ruonan was named a princess, Emperor Jing Xuan has never summoned her in private as before, even if he occasionally saw Emperor Jing Xuan from the Queen Mother, his performance was also normal, which made Jiang Ruonan let go of the big stone in his heart, so this time Emperor Jing Xuan's summons, Jiang Ruonan did not have much psychological burden.
Emperor Jing Xuan summoned her in the Palace of Heart Cultivation.
In the hall, Jiang Ruonan knelt on the white "jade" floor tiles in a lilac "color" lotus "flower" dark silver silk dress, and the sunlight "shot" on her through the colorful gold window lattice, and "shot" a magnificent "color" color.
Emperor Jing Xuan sat behind the desk covered with bright yellow 'color' brocade at the head of the hall, and looked at her below with an expressionless face.
Jiang Ruonan lowered his head, his heart was calm, and he didn't say a word.
A faint scent of ambergris filled every corner of the temple, giving her a sweet feeling deep down her throat.
"Let's be flat." After a while, Emperor Jing Xuan said lightly.
Jiang Ruonan stood up in response, clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, and still lowered his head.
"I didn't expect that one day, you would become my royal sister." Emperor Jing Xuan's voice was cold.
Jiang Ruonan replied unhurriedly: "This is all the grace of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Ruolan should remember it in her heart."
"Grace...... Keep it in mind...... Emperor Jing Xuan snorted coldly, his voice turned lower, "Ruolan, you are really heartless." ”
The bitterness in the voice is so palpable.
Jiang Ruonan still lowered his head and was silent.
Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Jiang Ruonan below, the sunlight smeared the window lattice into a brilliant golden 'color', and Jiang Ruonan's whole person was surrounded by this golden 'color' of light, diffusing a stable and soft beauty.
He looked at it, his mind suddenly drifted, and he returned to the woods five years ago, she was dressed in white, bathed in the sun, the most beautiful scene he had ever seen......
I'll never see you again in my life......
His heart was poignant.
"You look your best in white," he said softly, his low voice flowing slowly through the air like water, with an irrevocable sense of loss and helplessness.
Jiang Ruonan raised his head slightly, just in time to meet his eager gaze. She didn't evade, she looked straight at him, her eyes were calm and there were no 'waves', no sorrow or joy.
Emperor Jing Xuan looked at it, and the eagerness in his eyes slowly faded.
He lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, his expression had regained the majesty of a king.
"I've already heard the Queen Mother mention it, do you want to bring a 'female' disciple?"
Jiang Ruonan said his thoughts in detail again.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been a difference between men and women, and many 'women' are ashamed to tell their illnesses in front of the doctor because of these taboos. So much so that sometimes just a few small illnesses often drag out of control and eventually lead to tragedy. The 'women' are the same subjects of the emperor, please pity them with the same feeling, and the emperor's benevolence will surely be famous for eternity. ”
Emperor Jing Xuan smiled, "Ruolan, the person who really pities them is you, you are a 'female' family, where do you have so many ideas?" Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, what you want to do, I will definitely support it tomorrow I will make an order in the morning dynasty to open another 'female' hospital in the Tai Hospital, and you will be in charge of it, and you will be solely responsible for recruiting 'female' disciples."
Jiang Ruonan knelt down to thank him, and secretly said in his heart, if it is really not feasible, will you support it?
She knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor to let her get up and retreat, but she heard the soft sound of the dragon chair, followed by the slow footsteps of Emperor Jing Xuan, and then saw the hem of the bright yellow 'colored' dragon robe stay in front of her eyes.
"Ruolan, are you very familiar with Zuo Dudu?" Emperor Jing Xuan's cold voice came from his head.
Jiang Ruonan was stunned, how could he talk about him?
"I'm not familiar, I've seen Zuo Dudu in the epidemic area of Qizhou before."
"Just seen?" Emperor Jing Xuan snorted coldly, "Why did Zuo Dudu actually mention you in front of me, and listening to his tone, it seems that he still wants to ask me for a kiss?" Zuo Dudu knows this person very well, and he will never be so interested in an unfamiliar 'girl' for no reason."
Jiang Ruonan was startled at first, and then he was furious, this Zuo Bochang, who had clearly told him, was still using this method behind her back
In a hurry, Jiang Ruonan raised his head and looked at Emperor Jing Xuan, "The emperor didn't promise him."
Emperor Jing Xuan looked at her with a deep gaze, "Do you think I will promise him?" He sneered, "As soon as I heard what he meant, I immediately told him that your family affairs are in charge of the Queen Mother, so you don't have to worry that I will marry you at will." ”
Jiang Ruonan breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, she had been worried about this kind of thing. This emperor is so perverted, what if he gets angry about her marriage in anger? I can't get you, and you don't want to be happy
Fortunately, he still has some sense. Jun has no jokes, he said these words, and he can sit back and relax in the future
But before Jiang Ruonan had time to be happy, Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly pulled her up, grabbed her arm tightly, and stared at her with his eyes, his expression was 'yin', and his eyes were like ice
"But you don't want to marry anyone in your life, didn't you say that you will never marry? Okay, you just do this, I will support you in whatever you want, except for marrying, since you don't want to come to my side, and try your best to 'make' the current situation, then you don't want to go to any man's side, whether it is Jin Shaokang, or Zuo Bochang, or anyone, don't expect to go to any man's side again in your life, and don't expect the Queen Mother to help you, although I can't accept you as the imperial sister, but I definitely have the ability not to let any man marry you."
He looked at her, although his voice was soft, but the words were like thunder, "Even if I can't get you, you must stay with me, in this life, no matter what your identity is, you don't want to leave me"
Jiang Ruonan felt a surge of anger in her heart, at this moment, she really had an urge to die with him, but suddenly, this anger quickly disappeared, and a kind of sadness rose faintly from the depths of her body.
"Where else can I go? My only hope, my only hope has been ruined by you, I don't have the courage to go anywhere, you can do whatever you like, I don't care anymore" She looked at him, "Your Majesty, what are you obsessed with?" You are so paranoid that you can never calm your heart, which is a big taboo for your condition, is it worth it? ”
She broke away from his hand, took two steps back, and saluted him, "And Shun retreat." ”
Jiang Ruonan turned around and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Emperor Jing Xuan looked at her back, his chest ached faintly, he turned around, sat back on the dragon chair, covered his chest and endured it for a while, and his face slowly regained its calmness.
He didn't know if it was worth it, he just knew that this pain was nothing compared to the pain of watching her happily throw herself into the arms of others.
The next day, Emperor Jing Xuan raised the matter of the 'female' hospital in the early court. As soon as this matter was raised, it was naturally opposed by some old-fashioned officials, who believed that as a 'woman', she should stay in the inner house, teach her husband and children, and should not 'show her face'. However, the emperor was determined to let Jiang Ruonan do this, so that she would have some sustenance in her future life, and there was already a precedent for 'female' officials in the palace, and this matter was not deviant, nor did it hurt anyone's interests, so under Emperor Jingxuan's tough attitude, the matter was finalized.
In the following period of time, Jiang Ruonan began to be busy with this matter. Because there are many things to do during the day, he can't accompany the children well, and the children are already very familiar with the Hou Mansion, so during the day, Jiang Ruonan sent the children to the Hou Mansion and 'handed over' them to Mrs. Tai to take care of. Mrs. Tai was naturally happy.
In order to let the children accept themselves, Mrs. Tai began to pay attention to her attitude towards Jiang Ruonan, in front of the children Jiang Ruonan and Yan Yue', sometimes she would talk to her with a relaxed expression, the two children saw that Mrs. Tai no longer scolded their mother, how could children care so much about adults, plus Mrs. Tai really loved them, so she gradually became affectionate to Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai was happy, and she regarded the two children as treasures and loved them very much.
Every night, Jin Shaokang would personally send the two children back, although he really wanted to take this opportunity to see Jiang Ruonan, but he also knew that it was very inconvenient to enter and leave the princess's mansion as him at this time, and Jiang Ruonan's reputation would be damaged. Jiang Ruonan actually understands his thoughts, but it is precisely because of this that she avoids it, since it is impossible to be with him, why give him hope again?
Soon after, the 'female' hospital was completed, and Jiang Ruonan began to work on the 'female' disciples. According to her original method, she carried out a three-pronged approach, posting lists across the country, searching for low-level officials' homes, and searching for the convicted officials' sons and daughters. But as she expected, because the conditions for getting married after the age of 20 are too strict, and because of everyone's conservative concepts, they are unwilling to let their sons and daughters 'show their faces', which ruins their reputation. As a result, a month has passed, and there are only a few 'women' sent over, basically the family is in the middle of the road, and the children and 'women' have no whereabouts, and there is no way to choose this path. But even so, it is far from the number of people Jiang Ruonan needs.
The only way to go is to take the third way, looking for it among the sons and daughters of the convicted officials. But when you do it, you know that this is not an easy way to go. Because the 'female' of this identity has a lot of trouble, there are many joints to pass through, and it takes a long time, and the healer must be pure in nature, can the 'female' who has gone through a lot of suffering still maintain a pure heart 'sex'?
However, once he made up his mind, Jiang Ruonan would not retreat lightly. As long as she believes in something, she will overcome all difficulties and move forward. This time, of course, will be no exception.
Because of the emperor's support, all parts of the country quickly sent a list of 13 to 15-year-old 'women' among the convicted officials' to be selected by Jiang Ruonan. Among them, the reason for the father's conviction and the current environment of the 'daughter' are 'handed over' very clearly. But Jiang Ruonan was not satisfied with these, once, Jiang Ruonan and Zishan casually mentioned, "If only I could know the character of these girls." ”
Zishan said: "Then my sister asked the local government to investigate." ”
Jiang Ruonan shook his head, "I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to take bribes, but it turns out to be the opposite, where can it be trusted?" I had to pick some first, and then take a closer look at them after I came over. ”
Zi Shan said: "If you wait for a period of time to teach, you find out that your character is not good, wouldn't it be in vain? ”
Jiang Ruonan sighed: "That's no way, I'd rather waste my efforts in vain than teach a doctor with an impure heart."
After chatting with Zishan for half a month, I didn't expect something to happen that surprised Jiang Ruonan.
Recently, I want to run to the hospital, try to insist on constantly changing%"_《%
