Chapter 116: Breaking Through the Mossy Path

Huoxiang was puzzled.

It stands to reason that Chen Lifei could not have known that she had medical skills, after all, she was only sixteen years old, which was replaced by someone else, that is, the age when she was still an apprentice in the medical hall.

If it weren't for the fact that when she caught Zhou, she grabbed the small medicine hoe and held on, if it wasn't for the fact that when she was three years old, she could say a string of drug names, and if it wasn't for the fact that she was far more interested in medicine books than needlework since she was a child...... My grandfather will not hesitate for a long time, but in the end, he will pass on all his skills to her!

Huoxiang seems to be cowardly, but in fact, the inside is soft like a needle, because he knows that his identity is special, so after entering the Xiping Marquis Mansion, he always pretends to say more than two words on weekdays, hoping that no one will notice her, that day, if it is not for Mu Lingke's kindness, she has to take her to the palace before going to Yunnan to have a look, and she will not collide with the county lord of Minghui, causing disputes for no reason.

Because of this dispute, she stayed in the palace as a medical girl, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Huoxiang's mouth, she remembered that when she was a child, she always asked her grandfather about the situation in the palace, and was warned by her grandfather: The palace is full of splendor, in fact, it is full of devastation. told her not to go to the palace to try her skills because she was greedy for glory or for the sake of fame.

Unexpectedly, when he grew up and had already given up this idea, he came to the palace by mistake, and came to the place where his grandfather would rather resign than leave in the starry night.

Seeing Huoxiang thinking about her thoughts, Xiaolian looked at her blankly from the side.

Realizing that Xiaolian was looking at herself, Huoxiang couldn't help but touch her face, "What's wrong, is there anything dirty on my face?" ”

"Sister Huoxiang, you are so good-looking, I don't think it's worse than these ladies in the palace, they all said that the county lord of Minghui that day was because you looked like her, so he deliberately looked for your fork, I see, you have to dress up, better than the lord of Minghui, in fact, in addition to your eyebrows and eyes, her lips are thin, yours is like a cherry, much fuller, the more you look at the two of you, the more you don't look like it. And your skin ......."

Listening to Xiaolian's more and more energetic, Huoxiang hurriedly interrupted her, "Talking about the prince and grandson, don't you want to die?" They are such nobles, that is what we can compare. Don't dare to say this again, or if someone hears it, you and I will be beaten to death. ”

Xiaolian nodded, but she didn't think so, she said that Sister Huoxiang was timid and afraid, and she was really too cautious, if there were only two people in the room to listen, she was still worried that she would be heard.

"These days, Concubine Li didn't summon me, and now that she has arranged such a good place for me, I should give her a thank you anyway, Xiaolian, you can inquire and see when Concubine Li is free, I will give her a look."

Listening to Huoxiang's words, Xiaolian rushed out, "Then let's go now, Concubine Li said that if you want to see her, let me take you." ”

"Really?"

"yes." As soon as the words came out, Xiaolian remembered that when Huoxiang asked herself if Concubine Li had said anything just now, she didn't mention it at all, so she was a little embarrassed, "Good sister, it's not that I deliberately hide it from you, it's Concubine Li's mother who said that if you don't mention the matter of wanting to see her, you won't let me tell you, just go to the hospital tomorrow." ”

It turned out that Concubine Chen couldn't make up her mind whether she would see her, if it weren't for her curiosity and wondering why, would she have nothing to do with it in the future?

Definitely not, she spent so much effort to let herself go to the hospital, how could she leave it aside, sooner or later it will still show clues, for herself, sooner or later it is better than later, a day earlier to know, and more prepared.

Seeing that Huoxiang was silent, Xiaolian didn't care, looked around at the furnishings in the room, and said with satisfaction: "In the future, this house will be ours, and when they know, they will definitely be envious to death, everyone refused to come to you at the beginning, I thought, instead of being a rough girl sweeping the courtyard, it is better to come to my sister to learn some rules for the masters, but I didn't expect to follow my sister to have such a creation!" ”

Sure enough, I still have to leave myself in this Weiyang Palace.

Huoxiang pretended to be puzzled and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you will go to Tai Hospital to be a doctor from tomorrow, can you still live here?" ”

"Yes, Niangniang said, except when we are on duty, we don't have to stay overnight in the hospital. I heard that when other people in the Tai Hospital were not on duty, some of them went out of the palace and returned home, and some of them were young, like apprentices, who lived in the apprentice hall of the Tai Hospital, but there was no place for the doctors and women at present, so the two of us still went back to live in the Weiyang Palace of Concubine Li's mother after the errand. ”

Huoxiang smiled, "It's Concubine Li's kindness, I'm worried that it will be inconvenient for us to eat and wear over there, so we stay here, and we are both stained with Niangniang's light." ”

"Yes, yes, it's Hongfu who trusts Niangniang." After speaking, Xiaolian bowed to the position of the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

Huoxiang thought about what Xiaolian had just said, and knew in her heart that there was no place to live, in fact, it was just a reason why Concubine Chen wanted to stay in Weiyang Palace, after all, she went around in such a big circle, it was impossible to just match herself up, there must be something else.

Go meet and you'll find out.

"It's too late today, early tomorrow morning, you can take me to see Concubine Li."

Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Niangniang said, if you want to see her, no matter how late it is, let me take you there." ”

Before Huoxiang went, Chen Lifei had just finished removing her makeup.

Huoxiang was stunned, Chen Lifei, who usually wears heavy makeup, looks similar to Wang Guifei's age, and now she has green silk to her waist, and there is no makeup on her face, she is more than ten years younger than usual, although she has faded her makeup, but her eyes are still shining like ink stars, her lips are bright like dots, and her pretty face is like a hibiscus and she is happy.

I wonder why she uses such old makeup on weekdays? The women in the palace are not all beautiful and dressed up in order to compete for beauty?

Previously, she heard Xiaolian say that even if Concubine Quan Xian entered the palace and was very favored by the emperor, she would still come to this Weiyang Palace every once in a while, thinking that the emperor was because of Concubine Chen Li's family background.

After all, for the two concubines of King Zhang, the emperor respects more than favors.

Now it seems that Concubine Chen Li can be a concubine, in addition to her family background, it is also related to her appearance, no wonder Yongle entered the palace in five years, and the title given to her by the emperor was "Li", although because she was still young, she did not have the luxury and grace of the two concubines of King Zhang, but she had a slender waist and a slender posture between her gestures, like a cardamom girl.

The natural charm between the eyebrows is like a scorching peach, which is sultry.

It's really worthy of the word "beauty".

Seeing Huoxiang coming in, Concubine Chen Li ordered the maids who served her in the house to go down first, leaving only her aunt Yining, who was in charge of the palace, by her side.

After kneeling and saluting, Huoxiang stood aside with her eyes and nose, and Concubine Chen said with a gentle smile: "Huoxiang, in fact, my family and I are also old acquaintances, in this house, you don't have to be so formal." ”

Aunt Yining brought Zhang Jinqi to Huoxiang to sit on.

Acquaintance? Huoxiang raised her head to look at Chen Lifei, her eyebrows seemed to be the person in the painting that her grandfather treasured in the study.

But the age is not right, in her memory, the painting was written during the Hongwu period, looking at Chen Lifei's age, at most two or three years older than herself, how can it be......

As if seeing Huoxiang's question, Chen Lifei said: "It should be said that my mother and your grandfather are old acquaintances, and I, because I have seen the portrait in my mother's hand, and I heard my mother say that he is an old man, and I have heard my father tell me a lot about him, so I have been friends for a long time." ”

Huoxiang remembered that her grandfather had been thinking about the portrait until he died, and her grandmother even put the portrait in his coffin for this reason, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Have they known each other since childhood?" ”

"Yes, our two families are good friends, your maternal grandfather was born in a medical family, his father is a famous local Langzhong, the Yishengtang pharmacy opened is famous far and wide, and there is an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment every day. I heard from my mother that your grandfather was so good that at the age of 9 he could read and read the world's medical books, and at the age of 14 he was already well-read and ill-versed in the world, and even his father was amazed by his medical skills. ”

No wonder when he was eight or nine years old, his grandfather was so happy that he had the style he had back then.

Concubine Chen Li's eyebrows were a little sorrowful, making her beautiful face look more pitiful and weak, "Originally, the parents of the two families agreed that when my mother and Lu were married, they would be married." Who knows, God did not fulfill people's wishes, my maternal grandmother died of illness early, and my grandfather married a step-family with a vicious heart, thinking that the Xiao family was not high, and promised my mother to the prestigious family in her hometown, and simply broke up a pair of lovers. ”

"But I heard my grandmother say that that year, the two of them made an appointment to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to see the lanterns and fled to other places together, but the girl missed the appointment, and was sad for her grandfather for many years, and even did not marry another relative, and only supported the maid who had a daughter for him at that time, that is, my grandmother."

Huoxiang's mother was still upset for her mother, thinking that since Huoxiang's grandfather had a daughter with her grandmother, how could she let her grandmother be a maid for many years, and later, if it weren't for her mother's status as a concubine, her grandfather might not have straightened her grandmother and left that position to his sweetheart, which was too kind.

In fact, Xiao Jiuxian didn't know that Huoxiang's grandmother was pregnant, after all, the absurdity of his youth was a common thing for men, and it was not a responsibility that he had to bear.

Therefore, when the Lantern Festival lanterns were held that year, he did not wait for Chen Lifei's mother, and after she married Chen Mao, who was still in command at the time, she sadly went out to travel, and returned to her hometown many years later, only to know that when she left home, her maid was already pregnant, and she gave birth to a daughter for him who was already in her teens, and she was almost at the age of marriage.

So, he gave his parents and supported this roommate as his wife, and his daughter became a concubine and married a serious wife.

It is also for this reason that Xiao Jiuxian loves Huoxiang very much, because he is very guilty of his daughter.
