Wan Zhen'er leaned over and bowed, burying her head low, her body trembling slightly.

Queen Qian was a little surprised, and she didn't know why the emperor wanted to interrogate a palace maid alone.

The matter of the East Palace going to the water can be said to be a dereliction of duty by the officials in the palace and failure to take preventive measures.

If you get to the bottom of it, the prince is too naughty, and preparing gunpowder in the palace is really a bit out of line.

However, is it not ...... to put all the blame on the head of a palace maid Something is wrong?

Zhu Qizhen turned around and sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, but it was empty, so he put it down again.

Queen Qian hurriedly took the teapot out and ordered someone to add tea.

Zhu Qizhen continued to look at Wan Zhen'er, and after a while, he said, "Stand up." ”

Wan Zhen'er said in a low voice: "The slave doesn't dare to ......"

"I say, stand up!"

Zhu Qizhen repeated, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

Wan Zhen'er got up slowly, her head still lowered.

Zhu Qizhen said again: "Raise your head!" ”

Wan Zhen'er's body trembled, and she looked directly at Tianyan, which was the sin of killing her head.

She didn't have the guts......

"Does every sentence need to be repeated?"

Zhu Qizhen's tone was a little impatient, because he didn't want to talk nonsense.

Wan Zhen'er had to raise her head slowly, but because of the timidity in her heart, she didn't dare to raise it too high.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched Wan Zhen'er's chin, and lifted it slightly, and a crying pear blossom with a pretty face with rain appeared in front of him.

At this time, Wan Zhen'er was extremely scared in her heart, she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, her body trembled involuntarily, but she was worried that Jun Qian would lose her manners, and it could be seen that she was doing her best to control it.

Queen Qian came back with a pot of tea, and when she saw this scene, her face was a little dazed.

However, she was only stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward like a nobody, and poured a cup of hot tea.

"Your Majesty, please use tea!"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen let go of his hand and turned around to sit on the chair, Wan Zhen'er suddenly felt that the huge sense of oppression dissipated instantly, as if she was suffocating, and breathed heavily.

"Queen, are there any vacancies for female officials in the palace?"

Zhu Qizhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said something incredible.

Queen Qian was puzzled: "There are a few vacancies, I don't know ...... emperor."

She really didn't understand why at this time, she suddenly asked about the female officer.

On weekdays, the emperor rarely asks about this.

Don't......

She inadvertently glanced at Wan Zhen'er who was standing next to her, and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.

Zhu Qizhen put down the teacup and said, "Do you have any specialties?" Or what are your preferences? ”

Queen Qian was even more puzzled, because she didn't ask herself what she said.

Wan Zhen'er also realized that the situation was wrong, she glanced at Queen Qian in a panic, and then said, "Slave maid...... Slaves...... Nothing special......"

"Did you read before entering the palace?"

"No...... However, over the years in the palace, I have learned some words. ”

"It should be clear about the six bureaus and one division in the palace, right?"

Wan Zhen'er nodded timidly and said, "I know ...... roughly."

The female officials of the Ming Dynasty are divided into six bureaus and one division, the so-called six bureaus refer to the Shanggong Bureau, the Shangyi Bureau, the Shangfu Bureau, the Shangshi Bureau, the Shangshu Bureau, and the Shanggong Bureau, and the first division refers to the Gongzheng Division.

Under the six bureaus, each bureau can receive four small divisions, with a total of 24 divisions.

Each bureau will have one or two female officers of the rank of rank, and among the 24 divisions under its jurisdiction, a total of 66 female officers of the middle rank will be established.

Wan Zhen'er entered the palace at the age of four, and at that time, Zhu Qizhen was only seven years old.

It has been more than ten years now, and she is naturally very familiar with everything in the palace, but there is a separate process for selecting female officials in the Ming Dynasty, which is different from selecting palace maids.

During the Hongwu period, when selecting female officials, they would go to the people to select some talented single women, whether they were not out of the cabinet or widowed, as long as they were single.

Due to the particularity of the position of female official, when selecting, the emphasis is usually on the women of the Jiangnan scholarly family, who are influenced by the family, have a certain knowledge reserve, and pay great attention to virtue.

There is no age requirement, but most of them are between 30 and 40 years old.

Because these people entered the palace to be officials, or to work for the royal family, not to fill the harem.

Of course, it's not that young women don't want to, but there is no standard for age, and the main thing is to learn from it.

Zhu Qizhen's idea is very simple, the current Wan Zhen'er is just an ordinary palace maid, not the Wan Guifei who covers the sky with her hands in later generations, she is responsible for the fire in the East Palace, but she is not guilty to death.

If this incident is used as an excuse to impose a heavy sentence, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.

also have to take into account Zhu Jianshen's son of a loser, such a thing happened, it is enough for him to remember for a lifetime, if the palace maid next to him is executed again, I am afraid that it will leave a shadow on him, and he will never dare to touch these new things in this life.

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

The prince's approach is certainly out of line, but what else can he do?

Not only should he not be punished, but he should also be encouraged and instilled in him the concept of vigorously developing science and technology.

The Ming Dynasty still needs someone to take over, and the growth of the prince is very important.

After thinking about it, it is better to find something to do for Wan Zhen'er, at least keep her distance from the prince.

After all, there is no precedent for an emperor or prince to marry a female official in the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, fate is such a thing...... Who knows......

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and asked, "If I give you a chance, six games and one division, where do you want to go the most?" ”

Wan Zhen'er didn't understand very much, obviously she made a mistake, why did the emperor still promote herself?

Female officials are also officials, in the harem, except for concubines, female officials are the largest.

"Slaves and maids can only serve people, and they have no skills......"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Queen Qian again and asked, "Empress, what do you think?" ”

Queen Qian's mood at this time was similar to Wan Zhen'er, and she was in a state of confusion.

Her first reaction was, could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to this Wan Zhen'er?

However, when he heard that the emperor was going to promote her to be an official, he immediately dispelled this idea.

There has never been a precedent for the emperor to marry a female official in the Ming Dynasty, relatively speaking, the status of female officials in the harem is still relatively high, such as the female history of the palace masaji, who is treated as a teacher, even if it is as expensive as the queen and the concubine, they will be treated differently.

But I don't know where the emperor took a fancy to Wan Zhen'er, and suddenly he wanted to give her an official.

"The concubine thinks that Shangyi Bureau is more suitable."

Although Queen Qian didn't know why, she had to find an answer.

The Shangyi Bureau is specially responsible for the etiquette in the palace, and has four divisions under its jurisdiction: Si Nationality, Si Le, Si Bin, and Si Zan.

In this era, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, although the average woman has not read, she still has a grasp of basic etiquette, not to mention that Wan Zhen'er has been in the palace for more than ten years, and her ears and eyes are almost the same.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "The Shangyi Bureau needs to read through the Six Classics, especially the Zhou Rites, otherwise it is inappropriate to know a lot of etiquette." ”

Queen Qian thought for a while, and then said, "Then go to the Shangfu Bureau." ”

The four divisions of the Shangfu Bureau, including Si Bao, Si Yi, Si Zhan, and Si Decoration, are full-time tailors in the palace.

The costumes of the Ming Dynasty were very particular, whether it was an official or a eunuch palace maid, and there were strict regulations on what level to wear and what clothes to wear.

Even the emperor's dragon robe has several styles.

The highest standard is the crown dress, which is also the most noble dress from ancient times to the present, and is used for important occasions such as enthronement, sacrifice, and Zen enthronement.

The second is the gown, which is used to attend daily sacrifices and festival ceremonies, such as the New Year's Day and the winter solstice.

In addition, there are leather clothes, martial clothes, swallow clothes, Tongtian crown clothes, Ji clothes, and green clothes...... And so on more than a dozen, different occasions to wear different styles, all of which are exquisite.

And the job of a tailor is suitable for women, so Queen Qian will recommend Shangfu Bureau.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't get an idea, so he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wan Zhen'er dared to say anything, but she kept nodding, her expression still very frightened.

"Hey......"

At this time, Queen Qian suddenly snorted softly, then covered her stomach, and her two eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Queen Qian shook her hand and said with difficulty: "No...... Nothing ......."

"It's all like this, and it's nothing?"

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly ordered: "Go and pass the imperial doctor!" ”

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly trotted out, and after a while, she turned back.

Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "I asked you to pass the imperial doctor, didn't you hear?" ”

Wan Zhen'er's face turned pale, and she said boldly: "The slave maid met Father-in-law Huaien when he went out, he has already gone, and the slave maid feels ...... Mother's illness ......"

Zhu Qizhen asked, "Will you see a doctor?" ”

"No, it won't ......"

Wan Zhen'er shook her head and explained, "The slave just thinks that it may be ...... Abdominal pain from the moon ......"

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Queen Qian and cast an inquiring look.

Queen Qian's face was sallow, and she said, "It's almost these days, it's just ...... The days are not allowed, the concubine body, the concubine body ......"

"Alright, you lie down first."

Zhu Qizhen helped her to the bed, and then asked, "Since you can see the symptoms, what is the best way?" ”

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly poured a glass of water and said, "Drink more hot water!" ”

Zhu Qizhen: ......

Queen Qian took the cup of water and took a sip, but it did not relieve.

Seeing this, Wan Zhen'er said again: "Your Majesty, the slave maid herself has also had this disease, if the pain is severe, you need to press the three acupuncture points of the middle pole, the second pole, and the ground machine, which may be relieved." ”

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Where are the three acupuncture points you said?" ”

Wan Zhen'er pointed to the position of Queen Qian's lower abdomen and said, "This is the Zhongji acupoint......

Zhu Qizhen reached out and pressed it and asked, "Is this here?" ”

"Half an inch down."

"Here?"

"A little off, should ...... to the right"

"Forget it, here you go!"

Zhu Qizhen stood up and made way for Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er didn't care about being frightened at this time, sat in front of the bed, and pressed the acupuncture points for Queen Qian.

After about a cup of tea, finally, my brow stretched a little.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen felt that the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.

Although he did not know much about medicine, he knew very well that in an era when medicine was scarce, any illness could lead to death.

At this time, Wynne hurried with the imperial doctor.

Wan Zhen'er consciously gave up her position, and then the imperial doctor checked her pulse.

After working for a long time, the imperial doctor came to a conclusion: "Menstrual abdominal pain proves that there is truth and falsehood." The real one is either due to stagnation of cold, or stagnation of blood, or stagnation of qi, or stagnation of heat. Those who are deficient are due to blood deficiency, and there are qi deficiency ......"

"Just say directly, what disease is the queen suffering from?"

"Your Majesty, it's ...... Dysmenorrhea! ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but glance at Wan Zhen'er, and asked again, "How to treat it?" ”

"The minister has already prescribed medicine, and he only needs to take the medicine according to the prescription and then apply auxiliary means to alleviate it."

"What aids?"

"You need to press the three acupuncture points of the middle pole, the second hip, and the ground machine, but these acupuncture points are more private, and the old minister suggested that the emperor can find a palace maid, and the old minister will give this method to him, and press the queen mother three times every morning, noon and evening."

Zhu Qizhen looked at Wan Zhen'er again and said, "I know the method you said, the Qing family just needs to grab the medicine!" ”

"Yes!"

The imperial doctor left with the medicine box, and Zhu Qizhen turned to Wan Zhen'er and asked, "When did you learn medicine?" ”

"Slave maid...... Didn't learn ......"

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly replied truthfully: "It's just...... In the early years, the slave maid also had a similar illness, and after a long illness, he became a doctor and learned some of it himself. ”

"This disease...... Is it serious? ”

Even if Zhu Qizhen is from modern times, he is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he is ...... for women's diseases It's a complete knowledge blind spot.

Wan Zhen'er said: "This kind of disease varies from person to person, and the slave's illness is relatively mild, and after conditioning, it has been cured. ”

"As long as it can be cured!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, as if thinking of something, and asked in a low voice, "Does it affect fertility?" ”

He also suddenly remembered that Queen Qian had nothing to do, could it be related to this disease?

Wan Zhen'er said truthfully: "The slave doesn't know ......"

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "That's it, you don't care about anything now, take care of the queen wholeheartedly, if you can cure the queen's illness, I will be rewarded!" ”

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Slaves don't ask for rewards!" ”

"And what do you want?"

"Please, Your Majesty...... Spare the slave's two younger brothers......"

Wan Zhen'er's voice trembled a little, these words were said by her boldness.

Zhu Qizhen said, "Are you bargaining with me? ”

"No...... Don't dare ......"

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly replied: "The two younger brothers of the slave maid are guilty of buying contraband in the black market, and they should be punished...... The slave is willing to bear it alone! ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at her coldly and said, "Regarding their questions, I will definitely deal with them fairly, are you satisfied with this answer?" ”

Wan Zhen'er seemed to understand something, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Slave, thank you for the emperor's kindness!" ”

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart, to deal with it impartially is to see how big a thing the two of them have committed, if there is really a problem, should they be killed or killed, is it too early for you to thank me now?

Forget it, don't worry about these things with her yet, the top priority is to take care of Queen Qian.

He vaguely felt that Queen Qian had not given birth for many years, which might be related to this disease, although he couldn't say it, but this feeling was very strong.

As for Wan Zhen'er's going, let's talk about it later!

In short, she can't be allowed to stay with the prince.
