Chapter 36: The Concubine Returns Home

The concubine finally returned home.

Along the way, beating gongs and drums, King Qing also invited a lion dance to help her please her, which was very lively. The street was full of onlookers, and this Qing prince has been a hot topic among the people since he married the Qinglou Oiran. There was also news of the concubine's anger in the palace, and everyone was watching the jokes of the palace.

Not long after, it was rumored that the side concubine of the Qinglou actually abused someone, which really made the people sigh, they were all people from poor backgrounds, and once they were ambitious, they were so absurd and vicious, and I heard that the princess was angry and demoted the side concubine to an aunt, which is really happy. It seems that this palace is still quite sympathetic, and in this way, the reputation of the palace has been restored a lot.

The concubine sat in the sedan chair and was very satisfied when she heard the discussion of the people outside, and couldn't help but add a little more appreciation to Mao Leyan. She lifted the side curtain and said to Aunt Yu, who was walking outside, "Have you noticed that Eighteen has changed a lot recently?" ”

"yes, it's a big change, and there are a lot of ghost ideas, it's really like a different person!" Aunt Yu also sighed.

The concubine snorted, "I told her so much in the past, but she didn't take it to heart, I couldn't imagine that she could have such a big change in the two months I left the house, it can be seen that people still have to properly bear setbacks and hardships in order to grow up!" ”

"It's just that this change may not be in line with the prince's wishes!" Aunt Yu said thoughtfully, she watched the prince grow up, and knew that his temperament was the most afraid of trouble, and he liked women to be obedient the most, and he always loved to pester him in the eighteenth century, and he was sad at every turn, which made the prince very bored.

The concubine smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, Xian'er doesn't even know what kind of woman she likes, besides, who said that Eighteen must be like him?" If he is so cold and indifferent again, I will take Eighteen as a righteous daughter and find another husband. ”

"It's okay, eighteen looks beautiful, and now people are also sensible and clever, if you are wronged to be an aunt's wife, it is really a pity!" Aunt Yu also agreed.

The concubine smiled silently, the women in the palace were basically selected by her, and now she is not worried about anything, but she is worried that she has not had a child for so many years, which makes people anxious. In fact, she vaguely felt that it was her son's problem, but he was not in a hurry about this matter, and she was not easy to ask him to see a doctor.

Thinking of this, the concubine felt worried, and now King Qing is already thirty. Of course, she is also worried about the emperor, because the emperor is also twenty-eight this year, and there is no heir to the emperor so far, and the queen mother has told her more than once, and she doesn't know that Emperor Taizong killed and tortured too much, resulting in the fact that the royal descendants are now thin.

A group of women in the palace greeted the concubine at the gate of the palace, and Luo Yunsheng, who was demoted to the twenty-second aunt, was also listed, she was wearing a pink and white brocade long skirt, a long fuchsia mink cloak, and pink forged cotton boots, and the gold and silver jewelry she wore was even more grand than that of the princess. These jewelry are not a reward from the prince, but when she was an Oiran in the Qinglou, the benefactors gave it to her in order to make her happy, and she was so swaggering, just to tell the concubine that although she was born in the Qinglou, she was not a poor woman.

It's a pity that the concubine didn't even look at her, so she ordered the princess and Mao Leyan to help her in.

Mao Leyan glanced back at her, only to see her face hateful, looking at Mao Leyan and the princess with resentment. Later, when he saw King Qing leading the lion team in, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "The concubine has seen the prince!" ”

King Qing glanced at her and said with some joy: "The concubine has entered, right?" She's so happy today! ”

"The concubine just entered, lord, look at you sweating!" She said softly, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat for the prince, but the prince stretched out his hand to stop her, and said, "Don't be busy, this king wants to go in and dance for the concubine for a while!" With that, he raised his hand and led the lions inside.

Luo Yunsheng's hand stopped in mid-air, stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression.

Mao Leyan served the concubine well, and then went back to Lingxiangyuan.

Lawei can't get out of bed yet, but the injuries on her buttocks and back have healed a lot, and her spirit is much better, Xiao Shu originally wanted to go out with Mao Leyan, but Mao Leyan asked her and fans to watch Lawei at home and go out alone.

Lawei smiled more, chatting with Xiao Shu Fan'er, and when he saw Mao Leyan coming back, he wanted to struggle up and salute, Mao Leyan said: "What are you doing with these false texts?" Hurry up and lie on your stomach! ”

Lawei smiled sheepishly, then lay on the bed and didn't move.

On the second day, King Qing led the concubine and the princess into the palace, and I heard that the queen mother was seriously ill and passed out last night.

Mao Leyan asked Xiao Shu about the situation of the Queen Mother, Xiao Shu didn't know very well, only knew that the current emperor was very filial, and for the Queen Mother, he had issued several holy decrees in a row, asking the divine doctors from all over the world to enter Beijing to treat the Queen Mother. Not only that, but the list of the emperor who asked for a miracle doctor has been posted in front of the city gate and the west gate of the palace.

Mao Leyan was a little tempted, with that reward, she could really live without worrying.

Time slipped by a few more days, and a pair of master and servant appeared on the streets of the capital on this day.

The master and servant walked on the streets of the capital, and the master was Mao Leyan, who had transformed into a handsome son, with the medicine box behind her, she really had a bit of chivalrous charm. It's Xiao Shu, who changed into men's clothes, but he didn't look like a man, which made people see through it at a glance.

Mao Leyan sighed, drew her eyebrows deep with charcoal, and then glued a black mole in the middle of the person, so that she had the appearance of a pure man.

"Don't frown, those two eyebrows are like caterpillars." Mao Leyan warned.

Xiao Shu immediately loosened his eyebrows, but said worriedly: "Doctor, is this okay?" ”

"Okay, look at the medical skills, not look at your appearance!"

The problem is, you don't know how to heal! Xiao Shu thought sadly.

The emperor list has been posted for a few days, and it has been torn off a few times and reposted a few times. Outside the imperial list, there are four majestic guards guarding it, and as soon as someone comes forward to reveal the imperial list, they are immediately taken to the imperial front.

Mao Leyan took a deep breath, stretched out his jade hand, stepped forward to remove the imperial list, was immediately surrounded by four guards, asked for his name, and was taken into a carriage and galloped towards the palace inside.

Mao Leyan wanted to open the curtain to see the scenery in the imperial city, but as soon as she lifted the curtain, the guard said solemnly: "It's not here yet, don't worry!" ”

She lowered the curtain and looked calm, her breasts rising and falling with the rise and fall of the carriage, and she was annoyed to find that she had forgotten to bind her breasts. But fortunately, it was cold in the late autumn, and she wore two clothes, and she couldn't see it under the cover, and for the first time, she found out that it was not a boba that was also beneficial. As for Xiao Shu, a girl who has not yet fully developed, her worries are completely unnecessary.

Entering the imperial city, the carriage also galloped for about a quarter of an hour before stopping, after the curtain was lifted, she saw a line of guards lined up in front of her, with a long sword across her waist, of course she didn't know that it would not be to welcome her, such a high degree of vigilance, I think there have been chaotic parties breaking in.

Then, under the "cover" of the guards on the left and right, she and Xiao Shu, who was almost paralyzed, were taken into a splendid palace together, and before they could take a good look at the decoration and furnishings in the palace, they were startled by a majestic voice.

"What's your name?" The person who was sitting on a Taishi chair in the center of the hall who spoke, Mao Leyan raised his head slightly, and looked at him in surprise, the person was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his brows were tightly locked, his angular face was slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were seriously curved into a majestic arc, Emperor Lao'er? He has a skill in staying in the face, and he still looks like a young man at his age.

When today's son is King Qing's uncle, King Qing has a lot of Chinese New Year's Eve today, according to common sense, the emperor, who is King Qing's uncle, should be a half-old man. Mao Leyan was so surprised, no wonder she was surprised.

In fact, Emperor Liu Yan is only twenty-eight this year, and King Qing's grandfather has the same father and mother as the first emperor, but because King Qing's grandfather is indifferent by nature and is not interested in court politics, the throne falls on his younger brother who is a lot younger than him. And Liu Jian is the son of the queen mother in her thirties, gifted and intelligent, and loved by the first emperor since he was a child, so he was canonized as the crown prince. King Qing is the son of the emperor's elder brother, and his generation must be the younger generation.

Mao Leyan was only slightly distracted, and immediately saluted: "Grass people Mao Yao see my majesty!" Xiao Shu also knelt down with a pout, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Mao Xiaoyao?" The emperor frowned and looked at her, his expression a little questioning, "It seems that your name is not in the list of famous doctors submitted by the imperial doctor!" ”

Mao Leyan smiled slightly: "Back to the emperor, the grass people have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the Xiaoyao son a grass people, and the grass people have always practiced medicine in the northwest and rarely come to the capital, so it is reasonable for the imperial doctors not to know!" She said it with a straight and bold attitude, coupled with full of self-confidence, with an indifferent demeanor, which really has a convincing charm.

The emperor seemed to accept her explanation, and after a pause, he asked, "I ask you, the Empress Dowager has been in a coma for many days, and the rice has not been eaten, how should I treat it?" ”

Mao Leyan said bluntly: "Incurable! As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked and looked at her in shock. even said that the queen mother was incurable? The birthday boy hanged himself in this category, right? The emperor is filial, and when the doctors say one or two bad words on weekdays, he will be furious, this yellow-haired boy actually said that it was incurable in front of the emperor? It's clearly lighting a lamp in a pit, looking for death!

The guard who had just brought her in reprimanded angrily: "Bold, dare to say that the Queen Mother is incurable? Don't kill you? ”

The emperor's face suddenly became angry, he looked at Mao Leyan fiercely, and said condensedly: "If you can't come up with a reason to explain your "incurable", I will not let you get out of this imperial city. ”

Mao Leyan was not in a hurry, and said: "I have never been in a hurry to treat the disease, and I need to understand the condition before prescribing the right medicine, and the emperor only said that the queen mother was in a coma, and did not say other symptoms, how is the pulse?" What are the symptoms? What medications were used? Not even a word. Moreover, when the grass people say that it is incurable, it does not mean that the queen mother is incurable, but that if you look at the disease in this way, it cannot be cured! ”

The emperor's face softened slightly, and he snorted, "Even if what you say is reasonable, why should I believe you?" ”

"The emperor has no other choice, he can post the emperor's list to recruit famous doctors in the world, if he is not helpless, he will not be so dangerous, you must know that now the chaos is rampant, and the emperor's move is really gambling with his own net worth!" Mao Leyan was blunt, neither humble nor arrogant, which made everyone present gasp.
