Wei Qingwan hesitated and thought for a moment before replying: "Because of the separation for many years, it can't be called particularly good. ”

She deliberately answered vaguely, just so that she could wait for Qi Shijing to express her position, so that she could know how she should describe her relationship with Wei Qingruo.

Qi Shijing said: "You and your sister should move around more, you are both sisters and concubines, such a relationship is very rare." ”

"The concubine knows." Wei Qingwan responded.

After understanding Qi Shijing's attitude, Wei Qingwan didn't dare to let Qi Shijing know her true relationship with Wei Ruo.

"By the way, do you know about the late Doctor Xu of the Rui Palace?"

"The concubine doesn't know much, it should be an old person who knew her sister before." Wei Qingwan replied.

Wei Qingwan couldn't be sure before, but Rui Wangfu auctioned the scar removal cream, and Wei Qingwan could be sure that Doctor Xu in the capital and Doctor Xu in Taizhou Mansion were the same person.

In this way, it can be deduced that Wei Qingwan should have known Doctor Xu.

"Oh? Is it your sister's deceased? Qi Shijing looked surprised.

"Probably yes."

"Why doesn't your tone sound uncertain?"

"Because my sister lived in the countryside for a period of time in her early years because she was unwell, and during this time she became acquainted with some strange people, and she never mentioned them to her family, so we are not very clear. It's just that I've seen her with Doctor Xu a few times, so I have this guess. Wei Qingwan replied.

Wei Qingwan deliberately made the relationship between Wei Ruo and Doctor Xu ambiguous.

"I see." Qi Shijing was surprised, and soon said in a regretful tone, "It's a pity that Doctor Xu is deceased, otherwise it would be nice to let him treat his brother." ”

"At that time, my sister didn't agree for some reason, if I had known earlier, I would have gone to King Rui's Mansion to ask her to heal Prince Qi." Wei Qingwan said busily.

Wei Qingwan was worried that Qi Shijing would blame Rui Wangfu for not letting Doctor Xu treat Qi Zhen.

“无妨的，此事我也了解了一些，那时睿王身体不适，许大夫要得照顾他，且后面因为京城天气炎热，睿王去河间府铜山寺避暑和祈福，才错过了。”

Looking at Qi Shijing's gentle and empathetic appearance, Wei Qingwan was a little ashamed.

Then Qi Shijing chatted with Wei Qingwan for half an hour, and enthusiastically cared about all aspects of her life, which made Wei Qingwan a little flattered.

The depressed feeling of not being able to see the prince a few days ago was also swept away.

Coming out of Cui Tingxuan, Qi Shijing sneered and said to the person beside her: "What kind of character do I think this Wei Qingwan is, but it turned out to be like this." There is a posture, but it is only a posture, there is no other desirable place, and it is just a plaything to serve people with color. ”

"Niangniang, then why do you still care about her so much, commensurate with her sisters, where is her background worthy of being worthy of your sisters?" Qi Shijing's personal maid listened to Xue and asked.

"She is insignificant, but according to her relationship, she can help the prince and King Rui get closer."

"But the Rui Wangfu didn't let Doctor Xu treat the third prince at the beginning......"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, my third brother's account can be calculated in the future, the most important thing at the moment is not to compare with Rui Wangfu, if you lose the overall situation because of such a thing, it will be worth the loss."

"But King Narui is a short-lived man, so why bother to befriend him?"

"Although King Rui himself is not a threat, he has the grace of the Holy Grace and can help our prince speak in front of the emperor. And there are still some people in the court who admire Xu Guogong, and King Rui's influence is still some, and now that our Qi family and the Lu family are at odds, it is certain that the Lu family will fall to King Jing's side because of this, so we have to try to win over other people who can be used by us as much as possible. Not only me, but even my aunt tried to maintain a good relationship with the people of Rui Wangfu. ”

"I see, it's the slave and the maid who are stupid."

"So these days, just treat Concubine Wei better, and if you need anything, let people do it."

"The slave knows."

"After a while, you let the first-class maid in the backyard come to me, and I will pick a few good aunts to expand the backyard for the prince."

"Niangniang, why do you still stuff people in the prince's backyard?"

"Why not? I am the princess, and no matter how many women there are in this backyard, they are just concubines and slaves, and no one can go past me. I shouldn't have set my sights on competing for favor in the backyard, and my cousin wouldn't want that. But remember that everyone who has been favored has to drink the soup of avoiding the child, and the eldest son can only come out of my belly, not the others. ”

Qi Shijing was born in the Qi family, not only was she educated since she was a child on how to be a good housewife, how to be a future princess or even a queen, but she also saw a lot of how her mother managed the women in the backyard.

So since she was a child, she knew what to do with the women in the backyard.

"The slave obeys."

August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

The emperor held a banquet in the palace, and all the relatives of the emperor and important ministers of the court and their families attended.

This time, Wei Ruo couldn't hide.

Wei Ruo dressed up, and sat in the sedan chair to the palace with Wei Jin.

Because of Wei Jinyi's physical condition, the emperor took special care of him, so he didn't have to go to the banquet early like other princes, and he didn't sit at the banquet with Wei Ruo until the palace banquet was about to start.

On the square in front of the Taihe Palace, there were crowds.

In the center of the square, a red carpet about five meters wide is laid out, and on the red carpet are dancers dressed in flowing fairy dresses.

The court musicians on the side played the orchestral flute, and their fingertips flowed soft music to accompany the dancers.

On both sides of the red carpet are Huanghuali tables, each of which is covered with gold-edged cloud brocade cloth, and placed gold and silver bowls, emerald green wine jugs and colored porcelain plates containing delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The emperor sat on top of the chairman, with Concubine Qi on his right and Concubine Hui on his left.

King Rui, King Jing, King Yu and other princes sat at the bottom.

Wei Jinyi's position was arranged closest to the chairman, and Wei Ruo sat beside him.

This was the first time Wei Ruo had seen the emperor.

In his fifties, he has gray hair, obvious wrinkles, and a tired face, and he looks unrefreshed.

If according to the original book, the emperor did not have long to live, and after his death, Chu Lan would succeed him.

With Wei Ruo's current view, the emperor's current state is in line with the setting of the original book.

Unlike other people's drinking, Wei Jin also has tea in front of him, and Wei Ruo can also pretend to serve Wei Jin without having too much eye contact with others.

Sitting opposite Wei Ruo was King Jing Chu Lan, and when Wei Ruo casually looked over, he happened to see Chu Lan looking at her with an inexplicable gaze......
