When Empress Zhang arrived at Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Youzhu had already been praised by Concubine Xian and regarded Ning Tong as a goddess doctor with a wonderful hand and benevolent heart.

Of course, Zhu Youzhu only smiled at the courtesy, because he knew that the main credit for all this came from Zhang Zhou, but when Zhang Zhou was inconvenient for Yu Jingshi to appear, Ning Tong occasionally came out to make a cameo.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."

When the little palace maid came in to spread the word, Concubine Xian's body shook violently, and even Ning Tong felt uncomfortable.

There is nothing to fear about the emperor.

After all, the emperor's relationship with Zhu Feng and Zhang Zhou is good, and what he usually sees is also approachable, not like a man-eating tiger.

But the queen is different.

Empress Zhang of the Ming Dynasty, just by looking at her two younger brothers being arrogant and domineering, she knew that the tutor of the old Zhang family was not good, and he Ning Tong was also the queen's "rival in love" Concubine Xian, so he was naturally classified as an outlier.

"The folk girl avoids it first." Ning Tong is not stupid, it is best to find a place to catfish at this time.

But after all, Xinuan Pavilion was repaired to be a partial palace envoy, and there was no place to hide.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Don't avoid it, there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, you will learn more medical skills from Bingkuan in the future, and you can enter and exit the palace gate as a female official." ”

The implication is that you can often enter the palace in the future.

Zhu Youzhi is obviously worried about the people in the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Hospital has recently treated the people in the palace, but it has not had much effect, and it is in the eyes of Zhu Youji.

If you are sick in everything, if you count on the prescriptions prescribed by the Tai Hospital to solve the problem, it is not much different from listening to the witch doctor, not that there are no people in the Tai Hospital, but the local bureaucratic phenomenon may be more serious than any of the yamen in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and a prescription is not based on the symptoms, but according to the politics, and the lower levels are not qualified to prescribe medicines.

This prescription ...... What you want is to be without fault.

It doesn't seem to be much different from not taking medicine to make the body resist.

In the past, when there was no Zhang Zhou, the emperor had to rely on this group of people, even if he repeatedly used the "Ming Doctor" to recruit famous doctors in various places to fill the hospital, but most of the doctors couldn't stand the atmosphere of the palace, just as a royal doctor gilded, and finally retired on his own with no actual ability, or was squeezed out.

To put it bluntly, a doctor who only has medical skills, but does not understand politics, and has no background, will not be able to survive in the hospital.

If you are a skilled doctor, you can always cure the patient, then you will not be far from being squeezed out, and you must also pay attention to others making ghosts in your medicine, so that you can't eat and walk around.

It is based on this that Zhu Youzhu would rather use Ning Tong, who is half-hung in medical skills, than believe in those so-called famous doctors.

……

……

Empress Zhang also came to visit the patient as the lord of the six palaces.

She is considered "well-intentioned".

Empress Zhang wants to say that she is vicious, she was mostly pampered and proud before, but now the emperor's favor is obviously not on her, she will also be interested, and she is really not as good as those famous queens of previous dynasties in terms of means...... In other words, Empress Zhang is more similar to a woman with little knowledge and ability, with long hair and short knowledge, probably like her.

"Your Majesty."

After Empress Zhang came, she looked very concerned and asked the little eunuch who followed behind her to leave the condolences behind.

Zhu Youzhu said: "My prince is sick, the queen is out of kindness, I understand what you mean, after visiting the sick, you go back to rest first, and some words will be said when I arrive at Kunning Palace." ”

The implication is that you don't come to put pressure on Concubine Xian.

She's too timid to stand your fright.

From this point of view, it is also reflected that Zhu Youzhu is "protecting the short", he used to protect the Zhang family, and now he is protecting the virtuous concubine who is like a weak chicken, this is the man's desire to protect, and he naturally protects the weaker.

In the past, the Zhang family was under the strong pressure of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, and it was a weakling.

But now......

Empress Zhang said: "The concubines don't know what kind of disease the little prince is infected, if Your Majesty has concerns about those imperial doctors, the concubines can ask someone to invite some doctors from outside the palace to come in." ”

She is clear about her husband's mentality, Zhu Youzhu has said in front of her more than once that it is better to let the doctor treat the disease than not to treat it, or only those ordinary minor diseases can be cured by them...... That's why she proposed.

The implication is that our Zhang family still has some power in Beijing, and we can invite a good doctor.

But in the emperor's ears, you, as the empress, should ask a doctor to treat the son of your rival...... Or please ...... from the people I don't know what melon fields and plums should be avoided? If this is three long and two short, what do you make me think?

"No need, with this Ning Qing's family here, the prince's illness has improved greatly." Zhu Youzhu said.

"Huh?"

Only then did Empress Zhang notice that there was a woman standing next to her who lowered her head and did not look at her, looking like a girl with uncombed hair, but looking at her age...... But it's not like it.

"She's the one who knew the festival...... Alas! How so? An Bianhou's family affairs, I don't want to ask about it. Zhu Youzhu said.

When Empress Zhang heard this, she felt a little more crisis-conscious.

Zhu Feng had already heard about Zhu Feng's divorce from his wife, but she hadn't taken it seriously before.

But when she saw Ning Tong standing in front of her like this, still as a medical officer, to treat Concubine Xian's son, she seemed to feel ...... This is the more dangerous competitor.

Look at the virtuous concubine, like a little sheep, she has no background, she can't even find a relative at home, and she can't form a protective shield for her relatives' forces.

And what about Ning Tong?

He was born in a martial arts family, his ancestors were military generals with official qualities in Jiangnan, and his father even worked as a civil official, and he was the wife of Anbianhou...... actually took the initiative to leave, could it be said that there is no big conspiracy behind this?

"Minnu Ning Tong, see the queen's mother." Ning Tong hurriedly saluted Empress Zhang.

"Hmm." Empress Zhang just nodded, and there was actually some vigilance in her expression.

Zhu Youzhu said with emotion: "Thanks to Ning Qing's family, she has won the true inheritance of Bingkuan, and she has actually learned a lot of medical skills. ”

When Ning Tong heard this, the more the emperor praised me, the more he was digging a hole for me.

Looking at the queen's face, I want to eat people.

"The folk girl is just doing her best, in fact, the folk girl has not learned anything, everything is secretly mentioned by Cai Guogong, and the folk girl has no work." What Ning Tong means is that I am just a small person, controlled by others, and I am not capable of doing such a big thing as His Majesty's mouth.

In other words, this is also because Miss Ning does not want to take credit.

What she didn't know was that Empress Zhang didn't have any opinions on whether she would cure her illness, or whether she would cure Zhu Houxuan.

It's her...... Let Empress Zhang be vigilant.

She said that Zhang Zhou instructed her to mention something, which shows that Ning Tong has a background behind it, thinking of Zhang Zhou's current status in the emperor's heart, what does the emperor listen to...... If the emperor said that he would let the emperor accept Ning Tong, saying that it would "ward off evil spirits", or the emperor would take Ning Tong as a concubine without saying a word.

Zhu Youzhu said: "You are doing well, what other medicine are there that you didn't bring?" ”

Ning Tong said: "There are also some left by Cai Guogong, and they have not been brought at home." ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is no need to open another shop in the future, just open a pharmacy is good, I will personally inscribe a plaque for you, and I will give you the name of your wife, so that you can enter and exit the palace gate." That's it for now. You go back and get ready, maybe in the next few days, you'll be here forever. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the so-called "lady" is a title obtained by people close to concubines, queen mothers, concubines, etc., or who have been emperors, princes, nurses, or women who have made meritorious contributions in the palace.

But most of them are obtained by the palace people.

is called Mrs., but in fact, many of them are not married, but there are also married.

For example, later Lu Bing's wife, Mrs. Fan, was named a lady after Zhu Houxi ascended the throne because she had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager Jiang in the Xingwang Mansion and was also a nurse...... These women with the name of a lady are not the emperor's women.

Ning Tong was named "Madame" as a woman outside the palace, but in fact, she didn't have much honor, she just got a pass to the palace.

After all, with the fact that he had taken care of the pregnant concubine Xian, as well as the treatment of the little prince this time, it seemed that she was eligible for the opportunity to get the title of "lady" if she was not married.

……

……

Ning Tong, under the guidance of Li Rong, was going out of the palace.

Li Rong led Ning Tong to the way, and there was another purpose, which was to "protect" Ning Tong, after all, Ning Tong was also a "little woman", and she was also the key person who would treat the women and children in the palace in the future.

Even if Li Rong is not the governor of Dongchang now, the emperor's intention is that he is ready to hand over Dongchang to him, just waiting for Yang Peng to return to Beijing.

There is also a purpose, which is to let Li Rong "reward" on his behalf.

"Madam, you ...... this way" Li Rong can now justifiably call Ning Tong "madam".

Even if Ning Tong didn't have this identity, Li Rong would be respectful to her.

After all, Ning Tong has a strong background and has the endorsement of Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng, can he be an ordinary person in the court?

Now there are more concubines as "girlfriends", and the emperor seems to be very "satisfied" with Ning Tong, maybe when he will be "Concubine Ning", or remarry Anbian Hou as his wife, or be directly accepted by Zhang Zhou...... That's all hard to say.

Who knows what those three men think?

Ning Tong is a woman in a very special situation sandwiched between three men, which creates a big problem.

No one knows what this woman will develop into in the future (aside, I don't know).

Even people like Li Rong have to be careful when getting along with her.

……

……

When the two passed by the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

A group of imperial doctors looked at Li Rong passing by with a woman carrying a suitcase.

The weird atmosphere made the atmosphere of the scene very depressing.

Or Wang Yu walked up and asked, "Gonggong Li, I don't know if the little prince's condition is stable?" ”

"Everyone, it's hard to answer, let's wait here for now." Li Rong smiled.

Ning Tong knew the identity of this group of people, she just wanted to leave quickly, because in this patriarchal society, if a group of imperial doctors knew that she was treating the little prince and had certain results, maybe how would they deal with her.

She thinks that she doesn't have the strength and background like Zhang Zhou now, and she doesn't have the ability to compete with this group of people.

Liu Wentai relied on the fact that he was an old man in the palace, and stepped forward and continued to ask: "What is the condition, you must always let the lowly people know, and it is better to summarize the prescription." ”

Li Rong really couldn't listen to it, and frowned: "Court Liu, I advise you to save it, with this Mrs. Ning here, what else is the matter with you?" The condition of the third prince has stabilized, if you still want to decide on a prescription, think about how to regulate it in the future, but whether Your Majesty will adopt it depends on whether Mrs. Ning is willing to accept it! ”

"Huh?"

Liu Wentai was still complacent.

Hearing this, I almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

All the imperial doctors moved their eyes to Ning Tong.

This made Ning Tong feel so frightened...... I, a "little woman", was actually looked at by such a group of big men, and I still looked at it with resentful eyes, afraid of death......

"Let's make it!"

The biggest difference between Li Rong and Xiao Jing and Dai Yi is that he is very old in the palace, and he has been a powerful eunuch since the Jingtai period...... He was not as forgiving as these eunuchs during the Xiaozong period, so he would not consider himself a good man.

……

……

Ning Tong followed Li Rong away.

A group of doctors were dumbfounded, and after the others left, the group of people were talking again.

"Did you hear what Gonggong Li called her? Mrs. Ning! In Beijing, there are people surnamed Ning who can heal diseases? ”

It is not impossible to treat the women and children in the palace, and it is not impossible for the emperor to invite a woman from the "Xinglin family" from outside the palace to come back when he is sick and rushed to the hospital.

For this group of imperial doctors, who dares to send such a woman into the palace, it is to be the enemy of the entire medical community of the Ming Dynasty?

Now that we have caught the clues, we know that it is "Mrs. Ning", which means that she is a woman who married into the Ning family, see if we don't find out this "Ning family", pick up their ancestral graves, and bring them down, and see how they will mix in the apricot forest circle in the future!

"The Ning family...... I haven't heard of it. ”

Liu Wentai pondered for a moment, looked at Wang Yudao on the side, "Envoy of the Royal Academy, have you heard?" ”

Wang Yu pondered carefully and said: "It seems that in Runing Mansion, Henan, there is a famous doctor surnamed Ning, but he has never had a communication. I have vaguely heard that there is a big family surnamed Ning in Nanchang Mansion, and it seems that there has been a ...... of practicing medicine"

Because the hospital has the responsibility of being responsible for the selection of medical officials in various places, it will register people who practice medicine in various places, but it does not belong to the "medical register".

An imperial doctor surnamed Huang came out and said, "The woman came to the palace for treatment, is this going to smash the job of our hospital?" ”

"That's right!"

A group of imperial doctors were indignant.

This shows the bureaucratic side of the hospital.

If we can't treat the patient, others must not interfere, otherwise it will be putting the cart before the horse.

Anyone who is a doctor should understand this, and when they are recruited by the emperor, they should also think about the consequences of doing so, so if there is anything like the emperor's list, no one will respond at all, it is all in the play.

"Envoy of the Royal Academy, this matter can't be stopped like this, we should ask clearly, who brought the person in, what is the background, we can't let the people in the hospital suffer dumb losses, right?"

"This is true, and I must also affirm to Your Majesty that if something goes wrong in the treatment at such a time, the damage will be far-reaching."

"When Zhang Shangshu entered the palace for treatment before, it seems that some people said so, if this person is really capable of making the little prince recover, shouldn't we be so taboo?"

"Who the hell are you helping?"

Anyone who comes up with the slightest idea to say "fair words" will be directly pushed back.

When the time comes for the hospital to be unanimous with the outside world, the voices of natural internal discord will be swept away together.

……

……

The people from Zhongtai Hospital were finally sent out by Zhu Youzhi and sent away casually.

This group of people is naturally unwilling.

Division of labor and collaboration.

Some people went back to consult the books, and they insisted on finding out the people surnamed Ning who could heal in the vicinity of Beijing.

And Wang Yu, as the envoy of the Tai Hospital of Zheng Wupin, is also a person who is qualified to communicate with the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, so he took advantage of the sunset when the yamen were working part-time to find one of the patients he was "conditioned by order", Li Dongyang, who needed to seek medicine from the Tai Hospital from time to time because of "sick hemorrhoids", to find out some inside information.

Li Dongyang has sick hemorrhoids and has repeatedly asked for Zhishi.

In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the emperor specially gave him medicine, and the people from the Tai Hospital diagnosed him, plus Li Dongyang's son Li Zhaoxian's flower willow disease, Li Dongyang has dealt with the people of the Tai Hospital in recent years.

“…… Gonggong Li has a lot of status in the palace, if he calls his wife directly, he will be commanded. After Li Dongyang heard this, he talked as if chatting as if he was walking.

"That is to say...... She...... Is she the wife of a member of the court? Wang Yu was really taken aback, and his expression was a little nervous.

In the Ming Dynasty, only the wife of the minister of the first and second grades, after nine years of the examination, the wife is eligible to be ordered as "Mrs.", and the mother is ordered to be "Mrs.", the third product is a lady, the fourth product is a respectful person, the fifth product is pleasant, the sixth product is an person, and the seventh product is a widow.

But even if it is a widow, it needs the imperial court to canonize.

Except for the main wife, concubines are not eligible for the decree, but there are exceptions.

For example, Lin Yi married Zhang Zhou directly with a decree, although he was only a widow, but with a decree and without a decree, the difference in status is very big.

"What's the last name?" Li Dongyang asked.

"The surname is Ning." Wang Yu replied, "Ning of the Ning Domain of Jiangxi." ”

Li Dongyang frowned slightly, he thought about it, shook his head and said: "The Ning family is not my Huaxia surname, but there are many people with this surname. I heard that before Concubine Xian entered the palace, she seemed to have some relationship with the daughter of the Yining family. ”

After all, Li Dongyang is the second assistant, and he has contributed to the emperor's concubine.

He naturally knew that before Concubine Xian entered the palace, she was fostered in Ning Tong's place.

"Who?" Wang Yu almost wanted to say, there are not so many coincidences, if Concubine Xian had a relationship with a woman surnamed Ning before, then if a "Mrs. Ning" suddenly appears now, it means that she didn't run away!

Li Dongyang said: "The wife of the second son of the Chengguo family, who divorced for some reason, is the former wife of Zhu Zhijie, Marquis of Anbian. I heard that I am also familiar with Zhang Bingkuan. ”

"This ......"

As soon as Wang Yu heard this, the negative qi that had been in his mouth was instantly discharged.

is just Zhu Zhijie, he can't be provoked.

If Zhang Bingkuan still knew her, she was still a woman she knew before Concubine Xian entered the palace...... It's a complicated relationship.

Even if the hospital suffers a loss, it can only be eaten as a dumb loss! Who let this group of people, the hospital can't afford to provoke any of them?
