Chapter 105: Visiting the Sick and Making a Gamble
In summer, the hibiscus is more and more popular, and the day after day is beautiful, attracting the palace maids to linger by the pool, and the concubines forget their feelings in the pavilion.
When the queen went to visit the queen mother, she also brought a handful of lotus flowers by the way.
Jiangnan has nothing, Liao gives a spring.
Wise people don't have to say much.
"The daughter-in-law came over today, and saw that the lotus flowers in the imperial garden were blooming just right, and I thought that the queen mother had always loved to drink flower tea, and the lotus petals were delicate, and it was best to put it in soup. The queen smiled, wearing regular clothes, and at the moment she was talking about family life in the gazebo, but it really had the taste of ordinary people.
Even the queen mother's eyes are much more relaxed, not like the original shelf of the queen mother, chaste and graceful.
"You have a heart. The Queen Mother was pleased, and Mama also smiled and brought mung bean soup over, "It's hot, drink mung bean soup to relieve the heat." β
The queen took it with a smile, and scooped a small spoon, the gazebo was windy, extremely cool, and seemed to be able to blow away the fatigue of the day.
"Recently, there have been rumors in the palace, have you heard of the queen mother?" the queen slowly provoked the conversation.
The Queen Mother naturally has thoughts, and the emperor has done a little too much, letting the left and right ministers support the elderly, and promote newcomers in a big way, so that the Queen Mother, who doesn't care about the government, can also look at one or two, and her mind is turned to the world, "Naturally, I have heard of it." β
"This matter is that the Ping Wangfu is sorry for the Yue girl. The words of intimacy made the queen's heart suddenly have a bottom.
"It's true, it's just that the girl Yue is a little more temperamental, and she is reckless in this matter. "The queen is helpless, and she has a headache and presses her forehead, "I don't know what to say about Ming'er's imperial history, as well as the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion and the Cui family, but they are all ......"
The Queen Mother turned her head and glanced at the queen slowly, and the smile on the corner of her lips was a little frozen, "Queen, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." "It's an iron law.
The queen was stunned, and immediately silenced, if it weren't for the queen mother's reminder, she wouldn't know that this remark had exceeded the rules of the harem, "It's just that Ah Yue's matter, although it is in the backyard, but it also involves the court, although the daughter-in-law is not talented, she also knows that Ah Yue is innocent." β
"A woman's name is as innocent...... How important!" The queen sighed lightly, her eyebrows rolled with sorrow, if she didn't know that Tang Yue's biological mother was Cui Ling, she didn't know that she thought that the queen was sad about her own daughter!
"Since it's a matter of the back house, it's left to the master's mother to deal with. The Queen Mother smiled and supported, the eldest princess is still there, and it is not the turn of a concubine and aunt in the Pingwang Mansion to call the shots.
This incident is in King Ping's Mansion, Tang Yue is the first emperor to marry, King Ping's future princess, the eldest princess naturally wants to give the Tang family and the royal family an explanation. As for the matter of the court that the queen is worried about, it is nothing more than Bai Jin......
And Bai Jin ...... The Queen Mother sneered, just that rotten wood, and the emperor used him as a pawn, thinking that he could replace Bai Li, if any casual cat and dog could replace Bai Li, then Bai Li went to the army in vain.
The days are fleeting and the sky is bright.
Under the blazing golden crow, the palace maids who came and went drooped their heads, and the leaves of the trees exposed to the sun were curled up and dying.
It is Tang Yue, who is very interested in sitting under the window with white fungus soup and mung bean cake, there is a tree outside the window, leaving a cool piece, it is a good place to enjoy the shade, the hosta flowers are jade white, the plantain is green, and the corridor hangs two grass curtains, covering the too dazzling sunlight.
"Girl, Concubine Xi is here. β
Yang Liu said outside the door.
The person who entered the door of the house immediately was a slender concubine wearing a light gauze robe.
The eyebrows are like a bright smile, and the bright smile is the fragrance lotus water movement, and it really responds to the sentence in the book, "The water hall is fragrant and fragrant, and the hibiscus is not as good as the beauty makeup." But she has a clear face facing the sky, her eyebrows have not been painted, her rouge has not been pointed, and she has a natural beautiful face.
"Ah Yue, it's been a long time. She smiled lightly, and her smile was like a bead, but in Tang Yue's eyes, she could clearly see the undisguised banter and sarcasm in her eyes, "How did you make yourself like this? It's really terrible!" she was amazed, her eyes moved up and down Tang Yue's body, and Chi Guoguo looked at it.
Tang Yue glanced at her angrily, and every time they met, she felt that she couldn't speak properly, "Are you here to visit the sick?" or are you here to make me sick?"
"Naturally, I came to visit the sick. Concubine Xi said, waved her hand to let the maids stand down, and walked to Tang Yue and sat down, "What? What did the Imperial Doctor say? I heard that your illness was judged by the High Court of the Tai Hospital, and the one with the best medical skills? Why hasn't it been cured yet?"
"Heart disease also needs heart medicine. Tang Yue smiled lightly, biting off half of the mung bean cake, quite a bit of anger, "If the emperor doesn't punish Bai Jin for a day, my illness won't get better!"
Xi Concubine raised her eyebrows, and asked curiously, "Isn't it?" You scheming little girl can make Bai Jin succeed? What are you holding back?" She is not surprised, seeing Tang Yue's mouth full of mung bean cake, she was so busy that she could only stare at her with her eyes, and took the dishes to hold the white fungus soup by herself, if you want to say that Tang Yue is good here, it is that Yang Liu's skills are so good that she has learned from Cang Geng! The white fungus soup with brown sugar, wolfberry, red dates, and lilies is paired with the mung bean cake with red bean paste, it really tastes good.
"I've heard of it, your father was so angry that he scolded directly in the court, and the imperial historians forced the emperor to punish Bai Jin, and the emperor talked about King Xianping's thin blood and you killed Aunt Fang, and only prevaricated and planned to deal with it coldly. Concubine Xi spoke, her ears and eyes were much more than Tang Yue's, who made the surname Wang?
Tang Yue pursed his lips, drank a mouthful of soup, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and then slowly spoke, like an old man, "What is this, the emperor's original intention was to let Bai Jin take over the throne of King Ping." β
"If I don't force him to give up Bai Jin's chess piece with his own hands, I won't be surnamed Tang!" Tang Yue said fiercely.
"Yo!" Concubine Xi looked sideways, wondering if there was something she didn't know about this matter, making Tang Yue angry like this, what did the emperor do?"
Tang Yue sneered and looked at her, "You still don't know what the emperor thinks? He used the excuse to let the left and right two ministers recuperate or something, and set up two Xiangye, and stuffed two eyesores into our Tang family!
"But the one in your family surnamed Li ...... It's Cui Zongzhi's person...... "Concubine Xi feels that this is not quite right, Tang Hui is so smart that even Cui Zongzhi has to deal with it carefully, it makes no sense that Tang Hu will not tell Tang Yue about such an important incident!"
"Hehe" Tang Yue glanced at Concubine Xi, that is called a pair of eyes on all beings, Concubine Xi only saw the big words "you stupid humans" in Tang Yue's eyes, and couldn't help but think about what she had overlooked, at this time Tang Yue slowly solved the puzzle, "Li Ru is the person Cui Zongzhi is looking for, but the grandmother next to Li Ru, do you really think it is a traveling doctor? That is the emperor's meticulous work! Who controls who is not necessarily!"
Concubine Xi almost didn't spit out a mouthful of soup, "It's impossible, I've checked it, it's innocent, the origin can be followed, and there is nothing suspicious." β
"The problem is that you are the one who entered our Tang Mansion?" Tang Yue sneered, "As for the illness of the old lady in our family, how do you think she relapsed? It's not because of Gu worms! That grandmother is from Miao Jiang, if it weren't for the high court judgment that handed me the letter before, I would have almost ignored this matter." β
"What are you going to do now?" Concubine Xi asked calmly, such a big mistake appeared under their noses, it was really shameless.
Tang Yue raised his thin lips and said confidently, "The Tang family has my eldest brother here, and I can't run." "In fact, from the news handed in by Tang Hu, Tang Hu knows everything, but it is the version after Tang Hu's polishing, putting aside Tang Yue's fishing process, only saying that Tang Yue is innocent, if he hadn't studied medical skills and had the medicine given by the old lady Gao, he was afraid that he would make a big mistake, Tang Hu confessed in front of Cui's mother's spiritual seat all night, and went to the emperor the next day to ask for Bai Jin's severe punishment.
As for Tang Yue's reputation...... Naturally, there is a improvement in the people.
What kind of drama has come out, calling the domineering son to want to strengthen the people's daughter, and the weak people's girl to behead her aunt angrily. For a while, everyone was talking about how to judge Tang Yue's matter!
However, the imperial historians felt that Tang Yue was loyal to the first emperor and to the fiancΓ© of King Ping, but he was not filial to King Xianping, but Bai Jin was a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, and even Aunt Fang with a calculation of Tang Yue did not fall into praise, it was really conclusive evidence! When the emperor sent the people from the Criminal Department to search for evidence, those cups, picture scrolls, and tea were all as Tang Yue said, either * or flattering medicine, and he found an illegal shop selling * flattering abortion pills...... I just cleaned it up.
Such a big movement can't be hidden from the people!
So, fortunately, Tang Yue learned medical skills, and fortunately Mrs. Gao gave me an elixir, and for a while, the people let their daughters go to the medicine hall to do things, you must know that Mrs. Gao's reputation among the people is very high!
"By the way, how is King He's Mansion?" Tang Yue asked, what has not been done now is the matter of King He and the emperor, several people know that they want to lower the emperor and let Chongguang take the throne, the Cui family will be the emperor's teacher, the Tang family will resign, and King Ping will be the regent, of course, the last purpose is just the purpose of Tang Yue's secret rubbing, I didn't say it.
However, Tang Hu vaguely seems to have this idea, anyway, the queen can listen to politics, but she can't be in power, and what she learned when she was a child is different!
"It's all right, but your medicine works well. Concubine Xi said very vaguely, anyway, Tang Yue gave one of Cui Zong's bags of incense, and asked him to hand it over to the little girl who was dressed as Tang Ying, Cui Zong's expression later...... That's called a hard to say, "I heard that King He is now ordering Tang Jin every day, and the little man next to him has never touched it." β
Speaking of this, Tang Yue couldn't help but be curious, "You said that this King He has a habit of dragon and yang, what do you want to do on the throne?
These words were very lethal, Concubine Xi almost sprayed Tang Yue with a mouthful of tea, and glanced at Tang Yue angrily, and her slender onion white fingers poked at Tang Yue's eyebrows, making Tang Yue couldn't help frowning and looking at her indignantly, "What are you doing!"
"Do you know that King He's Longyang is forced to be helpless, he can't let a woman appear by his side as a cultivator!" Concubine Xi complained, and then thought that she had been led by Tang Yue to the wrong topic, and her face was full of resentment, "Anyway, is this what you should say as a lady?"
"Didn't you say it too?" Tang Yue was straightforward and unapologetic, "Besides, King He's matter is related to whether we can succeed or not, don't you care too much?"
After thinking about it, he added, "Actually, I think that even if King He succeeds, it will be no fun, and he will not have descendants." β
"How do you know?" asked Xi reflexively.
"Why don't we give it a try?" Tang Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"How to try?" Concubine Xi's heart was beating a little fast, it wouldn't be what she thought......
"Huh?" Tang Yue hooked his fingers, "If I win, you help me take Bai Jin's life, I know that the person in your family who pretends to be you, that Xi Concubine is good at flattery." β
"What if you lose?" said Concubine Xi raised her eyebrows.
"If I lose, the Seven Kills Incense Recipe will be given to you. Didn't you just want to use it to save the old lady of the Cui family who was deeply poisoned?" Tang Yue said with a smile, but Concubine Xi was very surprised.
She never thought that Tang Yue had already guessed this.
"It's a deal. "The temptation is too great, Concubine Xi can't resist it.
