Chapter 43: Position
In Jingshou Palace, the moon is in the sky.
"Every time I go out of the palace, it's like this! What's so good outside the palace? Aunt Fanghua lost her temper rarely.
As she spoke, she worriedly examined the wound on Ye Tianhuai's neck.
"It's no longer bloodbleed, is it?" Ye Tianhuai sat on the wooden chair and turned his neck sideways, so that Aunt Fanghua could easily check it.
Aunt Fanghua frowned and looked carefully, there seemed to be a clotted blood scab in the blood, but she couldn't tell if it was completely bloodless. She didn't dare to get started, for fear of breaking the wound.
Qin Baozhu always stood aside, she held her right arm, and looked at Ye Qianhuai, her eyes were a little solemn.
Ye Tianhuai has known her for so long, and it is the first time he has seen her look so serious. I don't think she expected that she would encounter such a thing as soon as she entered the palace.
Ye Tianhuai lowered his head with some self-reproach and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, and I want to save one person but I still have to fight for my life, and I beg for it." Makes you laugh. ”
After speaking, she squeezed a wry smile from the corner of her mouth.
Qin Baozhu suddenly knelt down with a thud, tears appeared in her eyes, and she choked up: "Your Majesty saved me with my life, and the people's daughter was grateful to her." Please also ask Your Majesty not to take such risks for the sake of the people in the future. ”
Ye Qianhuai sighed lightly and said, "I don't have any ability, I may not be able to protect Kyushu Wanfang." But I can still find a way to protect the people around me. Hurry up, and let him show you when grandpa comes next week. Why did they do so you? ”
Qin Baozhu was about to answer, when hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Zhou Shouyi came to the dust. He entered the house and closed the door, ignoring Qin Baozhu, who was kneeling on the side, and walked straight to Ye Qianhuai's side, and saw at a glance that the left side of her neck was stained with blood.
"Get a small ice brick and a clean hand towel." Zhou Shouyi put down the medicine box and said to Aunt Fanghua.
Ye Tianhuai saw that he looked like he was facing a great enemy, and said, "It's no big deal. Grandpa Zhou, you show her first, she hurt her arm. ”
As she spoke, she gestured to Qin Baozhu with her eyes at Zhou Shouyi.
Zhou Shouyi ignored her, stepped forward to brush away the broken hair on the side of her neck, and checked her wounds.
"If it's a big deal, you don't count." Zhou Shouyi frowned and said, he cleaned the wound with potion, made sure that the wound was not deep, and then took out a clean medicine patch from the medicine box and sprinkled a thick layer of light yellow medicine powder on it. He held the medicine patch in one hand, and pushed away the emanation from Ye Tianhuai's neck with the other, and in the blink of an eye, he skillfully applied the medicine to Ye Tianhuai's wound, and almost no medicine powder spilled down.
"Hold on!" He motioned for Ye Qianhuai to hold down the patch for him, and there was a thick accumulation of anger in his tone.
Ye Tianhuai immediately did it honestly.
"You've grown your skills, and you've learned to wipe your neck?" Zhou Shouyi said while packing up his things.
Ye Tianhuai didn't argue, but smiled and signaled to him the direction of Qin Baozhu.
Zhou Shouyi turned his head to look at Qin Baozhu and looked straight at the right arm that Qin Baozhu was holding.
He walked up to Qin Baozhu and said, "You sit down." How can I show you on your knees like this. ”
Qin Baozhu wiped the corners of his eyes with his left hand, stood up and sat down on the chair on the side.
Zhou Shouyi took out a pair of scissors from the medicine box, and was about to cut off the clothes on Qin Baozhu's shoulders. Before getting off the scissors, he said to Qin Baozhu: "This dress can't be left." ”
Qin Baozhu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
After asking, Zhou Shou turned his head to the side and looked at Ye Qianhuai and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you need to avoid it?" ”
Ye Tianhuai was stunned for a moment and said, "No." I'll give her a place tomorrow. ”
Zhou Shouyi's eyes widened, and he turned around to look at Ye Tianhuai, his eyes were full of surprise, and even his breathing became short.
Ye Tianhuai saw that he was about to have a seizure, so he preemptively said: "You cure her first, and the rest will come back." ”
Zhou Shouyi turned around and cut Qin Baozhu's clothes with a full stomach, and after he checked one or two, he asked Qin Baozhu with a little surprise and admiration, "Aren't you in pain?" ”
"It hurts a little."
"A little sore?" Zhou Shouyi aggravated the word "a little", and said, "Your whole arm is out of touch, it's a shame that you can hold on for so long without changing your face." ”
After speaking, Zhou Shouyi pressed her shoulder with one hand and supported her arm with the other. said that it was too late and that was fast, only to hear a muffled sound, Zhou Shou violently connected her bones.
Qin Baozhu took a hard breath of cold air, sweating profusely in pain.
"Okay, don't lift this arm these days." After speaking, Zhou Shouyi took out some medicinal oil and applied it to her shoulder.
At this time, Aunt Fanghua came back with ice bricks and hand towels, and when she saw Qin Baozhu with half of her bare shoulders, she exclaimed, "Girl, wait a minute, the slave maid will bring you a piece of clothing." ”
Zhou Shouyi took the ice brick in her hand, wrapped it in a hand towel, handed it to Ye Qianhuai and said, "Press it on the outside of the medicine patch and apply it for a quarter of an hour." After a few days, the scab will fall, and I will bring you medicine to remove the scar. ”
When he was done, he picked up the medicine box and left without looking back.
Aunt Fanghua said to Ye Qian while dressing Qin Baozhu: "Imperial Doctor Zhou heard that His Majesty has left the palace, and he has been staying in the Imperial Hospital today, and he hasn't even gone home to drink his grandson's wedding wine. I'm just going back now, Your Majesty don't blame him. ”
"When did I blame him?" After speaking, she took a sip of the tea on the table, and said curiously, "Zhou Yi is married?" What kind of girl? ”
"I haven't heard it talk about it in the palace. It's probably an ordinary girl. ”
"I remember, what is the name of the little palace maid under your hand? I remember that she and Zhou Yi were very good. ”
"Qingyi." Aunt Fanghua replied, her expression was a little gloomy, and even the movements of her hands slowed down.
Zhou Shouyi's eldest grandson, Zhou Yi, was admitted to the Tai Hospital last year, and his grades were excellent, and he was hired by the Tai Hospital. But he only worked in the palace for a month, and Zhou Shouyi came to Ye Qianhuai and asked her to remove Zhou Yi from his post as a doctor and drive him out of the hospital. Although Ye Tianhuai cherished Zhou Yi's talent, he couldn't refuse Zhou Shouyi's plea, so he dismissed him.
"The little girl feels uncomfortable." Ye Qian said, "You have been taking care of her a little bit lately." ”
"The slave and maid thanked Your Majesty for Qingyi."
Ye Tianhuai sighed and said, "It seems that Grandpa Zhou really doesn't want the children to have anything to do with the palace." In his eyes, this harem is really like a tiger's den in Longtan. If it weren't for the queen mother, he would have left this deep palace a long time ago. ”
She smiled softly, looked at Aunt Fanghua, and asked, "In my aunt's eyes, is the harem like a tiger's den in Longtan?" ”
Aunt Fanghua was stunned by her question, and replied: "There is His Majesty in the palace, so it is naturally Longtan." As for the tiger's den, the slave and maid don't know and dare not speak falsely. ”
"That's not what I meant. I'm asking you, do you think this harem is scary? ”
Aunt Fanghua pondered for a moment and said, "If there is Your Majesty in the harem, the slave and maid don't feel terrible." ”
Ye Qianhuai looked at her deferential appearance and smiled: "Auntie took off the futon from the dragon bed and spread it on the ground." ”
Aunt Fanghua raised her head in surprise and looked at Ye Tianhuai.
"This Miss Chen Lan is going to sleep in the same room with me tonight."
"Your Majesty......"
"She knows it all." After Ye Tianhuai finished speaking, Aunt Fanghua and Qin Baozhu looked at each other.
"Chen Lan, Aunt Fanghua is the big palace maid by my side, and she grew up watching me. If there is anything you don't understand in the palace in the future, you can ask her. ”
Qin Baozhu saluted Aunt Fanghua.
"I originally wanted her to be a personal palace maid under you, but something went wrong when I entered the palace today, and now I am afraid that I have to give her a position." She pondered for a moment and said, "Let me make you a nobleman." Today, everyone in the palace knows that I love you very much. If it is sealed low, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. But if the seal is high, I am afraid that Chen Ge Lao will react. ”
The marriage ceremony has not yet been held, and there is news in the harem that the emperor will bring a woman from the people, but I am afraid that Chen Yuansi's face will not look good.
Ye Qianhuai could already expect that a large number of related recitals would be presented by the cabinet soon.
"By the way, auntie, prepare a red cloth tomorrow morning."
Qin Baozhu and Aunt Fanghua looked at Ye Tianhuai together, as if they didn't expect her to know about it.
Ye Tianhuai smiled and said, "The queen mother has talked to me a long time ago. I want to sit in this position without knowing anything, it is too dangerous. ”
Aunt Fanghua showed that relieved and regretful expression on her face again, and said, "The slave will be prepared in advance and brought in tomorrow morning when she changes His Majesty's clothes." ”
Ye Qianhuai nodded, put the ice brick wrapped with a handkerchief on the table, and said, "You are careful, I won't say much." Rest early, tomorrow will be early. ”
Aunt Fanghua laid the bedding on the floor two steps away from the dragon bed, and then loosened her clothes for Ye Tianhuai before leaving the house.
Ye Qianhuai looked at the futon on the ground, the ground in the dormitory is paved with jade sandalwood, although it will not seep cold, but the hardness is still there, only this bed of futon is made, and it will be a little awkward to sleep on it.
"I've wronged you."
"Your Majesty, don't say that." Qin Baozhu paused, and then asked, "Is Your Majesty so polite when talking to people?" ”
Ye Tianhuai was stunned for a moment when she asked this, and replied, "Almost." Especially when I'm in Gyeongshou Palace. ”
With that, she lay down on the bed. She pondered, and then said: "Maybe it's because of this that I play He Youwei so well." ”
"That's not good." Qin Baozhu said, "Your Majesty still has some prestige in front of his subordinates. If they are too approachable, they will lose their sense of awe. ”
She blew out the lights, and there were only sporadic moonlight in the palace. In the darkness, Ye Tinghuai heard her lying on the ground next to the dragon's bed.
"When the folk girl was young, she grew up in the Jade Building, and there was an Oiran named Yun Niang. She drank very well, but in front of the guests, she had to give up with a headache every time she drank a glass or two. I once asked her, why do you pretend you don't know how to drink? Yun Niang told me that she said that if she did this, others would think that she was very shallow. Over time, she will no longer be allowed to serve wine. If she doesn't refuse to drink, she will drink more and more. She doesn't like to drink, and she can't say no outright, so that's it. ”
After Qin Baozhu finished speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and said, "The analogy of a people's girl may not be appropriate......
"No, you're right." Ye said, "People will teach others how to see themselves. Indeed, my deeds have lost their dignity. To tell you the truth, to this day, I have never recognized myself as an emperor in my heart. ”
