In the west, in the warm pavilion.

Zhu Zhen washed white under Mu Xiang's service and lay comfortably on the soft big bed.

He was too the mattress before, so Mu Xiang changed to several beds of freshly dried quilts to make the bed, and finally had the sense of falling into it that he had been pursuing.

"Mu Xiang, how did you dry this quilt, it's still so fluffy for a few days?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously.

"Just dry it every day." Mu Xiang covered her mouth and chuckled, since His Royal Highness fell into the water, it was like a different person. In many places, it is not exquisite, but in some strange places, it is inexplicably exquisite.

"Is that a hassle?"

"Don't bother, this is the work of the servant." Mu Xiang smiled sweetly, and then she straightened up, stood solemnly, clasped her fists with both hands, pressed her left hand with her right hand, bowed her head, bent her knees and looked down, and performed a serious blessing ceremony.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Zhen was confused.

"Congratulations to Your Highness." Mu Xiang's big eyes were full of admiration: "Others don't know, the maid doesn't know yet, is it all the credit of His Highness that Niangniang can come back this time?" ”

"Hehe, yes, you're also complicit." Zhu Zhen suddenly came to his senses, the carp sat up straight, and finally began to brag: "It's a pity that you didn't see it, the scene where the woman apologized for serving tea to my mother's concubine was called a good ......"

"What a shame." Mu Xiang sighed regretfully.

"It's okay, you're asking me?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said with his eyebrows flying.

"What is it?" Mu Xiang is also very cooperative.

"I'll tell you about it,......" Zhu Zhen began to talk exaggeratedly.

Mu Xiang listened with relish, and at the same time served him to eat a bowl of water and snacks for supper.

The little fat man feels much more comfortable now, although he is full of warm thoughts...... But he was still a child, and he didn't think about it, but thought of the poor women of the Inner Harmony Hall.

"Mu Xiang, you said before that you couldn't get out when you entered the Inner Anle Hall, so why is that one next to my mother, that ......" Zhu Zhen said with a gesture: "Can you come out?" ”

"Your Highness is talking about our Miao Shang Palace? She voluntarily followed her mother in. Niangniang came out, and she naturally came back. Mu Xiang said with admiration: "Aunt Miao looks fierce, but she is a good person!" ”

"I see." Zhu Zhen suddenly said in his heart that it was no wonder that the mother concubine could live so comfortably in the cold palace. With such a big-shouldered female bodyguard with a round waist to follow, who would dare to bully her?

"And what about the others? I can't come out for the rest of my life? He asked back to the point.

"There is no way to do it, there have been several plagues in the palace in the past, several mothers, and His Royal Highness's ninth brother King Zhao, all of them are like this." Mu Xiang explained:

"So later there was a rule, and the eunuch was seriously ill and sent to the outer peace hall. The female officials and palace maids were seriously ill and sent to the Inner Peace Hall. If you can survive and survive, you will be sent to the Huanyi Bureau outside the palace, and you can't come back anyway. ”

"How can a person eat whole grains without getting sick?" Zhu Zhen was puzzled: "Could it be that if you are sick, you will be sent to Anle Hall, how many people can be left in the palace?" ”

"Of course, not all of them are sent, and if you can carry a small illness or a small disaster, you will also carry it." Mu Xiang whispered a little self-harmingly:

"If you are very sick, you will be sent."

"Isn't that? Most diseases are not contagious. Zhu Zhen became more and more puzzled: "Could it be that the imperial doctor doesn't even understand this truth?" ”

"The imperial doctor is for His Royal Highness and the ladies, how can we be slaves and maids?" Mu Xiang sighed faintly.

"The Imperial Doctor can't treat you?"

"No, it's the rule. Because the palace is strictly forbidden, no one is allowed to enter the inner court unless they are summoned. Only when the mother is treated, the imperial doctor can be ordered to enter the palace. The female officials and palace people under the concubines are sick, and they are not allowed to call doctors to enter, so they can only 'say that they can take medicine.' ’”

"Say the right thing to do?" Zhu Zhen didn't understand.

"It is the father-in-law of the imperial pharmacy who will relay the patient's symptoms to the hospital, and then the imperial doctor will prescribe a prescription and send it in, and the imperial pharmacy will take the medicine according to the prescription." Mu Xiang explained:

"This is still the treatment that only face-saving female officials and palace maids can enjoy, if the idle palace people don't make money, who will work for you?"

"Will the eunuchs of the imperial pharmacy see a doctor?"

"The emperor does not allow eunuchs to be literate, they say that they can't even read medical books......" Mu Xiang said quietly:

"Your Highness thought, the imperial doctor doesn't want to hear and ask, can he diagnose the right symptoms? The people at the Imperial Pharmacy also knew this, so the three pairs of medicines didn't work, so they sent the patient directly to Nei'an Le Tang and left it alone......"

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but say, "What kind of rules are this?" ”

"Your Highness, don't dare to talk nonsense. This rule was set by the emperor. Mu Xiang's little face turned pale with fright.

"So, sleep, sleep." Zhu Zhen really coaxed.

~~

Early the next morning, the brothers still came to call Zhu Zhen to school, but they no longer went into the Wan'an Palace.

Because the mother has returned to the palace, the brothers are not allowed to trespass without being summoned.

Concubine Chong didn't go to bed until the second half of the night last night, and she was still sleeping at this time......

Fortunately, Mu Xiang and Wang Gonggong, who were conscientious in their duties, did not let their brothers wait long.

On the way to school, Zhu Zhen asked his eldest brother to confirm what Mu Xiang said last night.

"Yes, there is a provision that 'if a concubine or a concubine is sick, although the doctor is not allowed to enter the palace, he will use his evidence to take medicine'." Zhu Biao nodded and said:

"This is the father of the emperor in view of the late Yuan Dynasty, can not be strict with the government of the palace, the concubine palace people fornicate with foreign ministers...... "In fact, the harem of the Yuan Dynasty had a lot of fun, but the prince couldn't talk to a child in detail, so he said vaguely:

As a result, the etiquette was ruined, and he died. Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.. Therefore, the ban on the father's palace is particularly strict. Sometimes it's inevitable to overkill......"

"Overkill...... Zhu Di repeated in a low voice, faintly inaudible: "It's not close to people." ”

Zhu Biao heard it, but instead of scolding the fourth brother for being presumptuous like an ordinary prince, he patted King Yan's shoulder with understanding, sighed and said:

"My father is very sage, but at the beginning of the dynasty, there are too many things for his old man to worry about, and it is inevitable that there will be unsatisfactory places. We are sons, and after complaining, we have to find a way to help our father check and fill in the gaps. ”

"I know, I'll just say that......" Zhu Di nodded, and the gloom between his eyebrows dissipated.

Although he is in a rebellious period, his eldest brother can still calm him down.

"The eldest brother said to help my father check and fill in the gaps, I remembered that my mother had a saying yesterday......" Zhu Zhen continued:

She said that she was in the Inner Anle Hall and saw many palace people who were sick and could not be treated; There are also many palace people who were sent in because of misdiagnosis, which is very miserable. ”

"Well, what do you think of Concubine Chong?" The prince nodded and asked.

"She said, since the palace selects female officials from the people to be responsible for harem affairs, why can't some female doctors be selected to enter the palace as female medical officers?" Zhu Zhen imitated his mother's tone, like a parrot.

"Uh......" The prince's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "This is good, you don't have to break the rules, and you can treat them, isn't this a simple dilemma?" ”

"Sixth, your mother is so powerful!" Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhen excitedly.

"Concubine Chong has a bodhisattva heart, and she really takes the affairs of the palace people to heart!" The fifth brother, who has always been quiet, also praised it.

'Ahh Wan'an Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion, Concubine Chong sneezed a few times, pulled the quilt again, and continued to sleep.
