Chapter 3: The Ming Palace, the undercurrent is surging

Wang Ergou, this name is too ugly!

Being called back and forth by "two dogs and two dogs", good luck will be called sooner or later, when will it be able to soar?

Or...... Sign your real name?

If someone asks about it, just say that "Ergou" is your milk name?

Right! That's it!

Merely......

This one...... How is a pen for signing?

The brush is just that, the dozen or so names signed in front of it, several of the words, have never been seen!

Yes, it's in the Ming Dynasty now!

The words "king" and "li" are very simple, but is the writing in this era the same as what you learned?

So, Wang Li carefully observed the signature in front of him.

It's a pity that I didn't find the words "king" and "stand"!

Not even anything like it!

"You, your name is Wang Ergou?"

The interrogator was a palace maid, about forty years old, looking up and down.

"Uh...... Wang Ergou is my milk name, and my real name is Wang Li......"

The palace maid didn't care about Wang Li's nonsense, and asked expressionlessly, "You, don't you know how to write?" ”

"I ...... This ......"

Wang Li was indeed a little hesitant.

For ten taels of silver, I really wanted to sign the word "Wang Li" immediately, but I was afraid of writing it wrong.

If you make a mistake, you will be suspicious!

In this way, I, a traverser, really can't survive the second episode!

"Next!"

The old eunuch shouted loudly, and Wang Li was pushed away.

Nima!

Ten taels of silver, just gone?

The legendary Cleopatra, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see it!

Depend on!

Who is that guy? How dare you show off your money?

And you! Your disdainful gaze hurts, do you know?

I remember you!

He is soaring day by day, and he has a good life with you!

But I'm not the only one who can't write!

Seeing that there were still people who couldn't write, Wang Li balanced a little.

"Aunt Lan, the 24 eunuchs that the queen needs have been delivered...... This ......"

"Father-in-law Xiao, the queen mother said very clearly: there are only one hundred taels who can be selected to enter the palace!"

"That'...... Aunt Lan, how to choose? ”

"It's already chosen!"

The palace maid known as "Aunt Lan" waved her hand: "Ruyan, four hundred taels of silver, give it to Gonggong Xiao!" ”

As the words fell, several young palace maids dragged up with exquisite wooden plates.

The silver of white flowers made Wang Li's eyes shine.

The old eunuch, known as "Grandpa Xiao", was a little displeased.

"Grandpa Xiao! The queen needs up to 24 eunuchs, and the little maid has already selected according to her will:

Lin Xiaoru, Song Wenhui, Xu Dang and Wang Ergou stayed, and the remaining twenty fathers-in-law asked Father-in-law Xiao to bring them back. ”

Hearing the names of the four people, Old Eunuch Xiao suddenly realized.

It turned out that the queen selected eunuchs not based on their age and appearance, let alone experience, but for illiterate!

Alas!

How easy it is to find someone who is illiterate and willing to be a eunuch!

It's a pity that it's too late to regret!

Two thousand taels of silver, just gone!

As the saying goes, "a few people are happy and a few people are sad", the old eunuch Xiao returned depressedly, but the four people who were selected were happy.

Being able to work as an errand in the queen's palace not only has face, but also has a lot of money!

Moreover, this queen is not very difficult to serve!

These four people are not like the eunuchs who serve the queen, but more like the queen's guests!

The glamorous queen did not show up, but the palace maid sent a lot of pastries and delicacies!

What is this, what is it if it is not a distinguished guest?

While the four of them were eating and drinking, the old eunuch Xiao was stopped in his way.

The old eunuch Xiao is named Xiao Jin.

The person who stopped him was Wei Zhongxian!

"Illiterate? The mother's request is just to be illiterate? What the hell is she doing? ”

"Returning to the nine thousand nine hundred years old: I heard that the queen mother dismissed all the eunuchs in Kunning Palace, and only four palace maids remained: Lan Ruomei, Xu Caifeng, Lin Xue'er and Liu Ruyan."

Wei Zhongxian's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't say anything.

Xiao Jin said tentatively: "According to the old slave's opinion, the queen mother...... Is it pregnant with a dragon heir again? ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian became interested and smiled: "The newly purified eunuch has not been trained, and she can't do heavy work for three months, she has to be supported, it's really interesting!" ”

Xiao Jin said yes again and again, and Wei Zhongxian suddenly changed his words: "However, a few illiterate eunuchs can ensure that she gives birth to the dragon seed?" She's too naΓ―ve! ”

Xiao Jin was stunned, didn't dare to show his voice, and quickly changed the topic: "Nine thousand nine hundred years old, yesterday's assassin ......"

"Humph! Dare to do it in Beijing, no one can escape! Rest assured, the Assassin has been summarily executed! ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian smiled weirdly: "The queen mother is pregnant with a dragon heir again, our family should come to the door to say hello!" Hahaha! ”

……

Whether the queen is pregnant with a dragon heir, Wei Zhongxian showed great concern, but he was not in a hurry, and went to the Qianqing Palace first.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was already bedridden.

"Long live Lord, great joy! Great joy! ”

"Daiki?" Zhu Youxiao shook his head weakly: "Gonggong, where does the joy come from?" ”

"Long live Lord, it's really a great joy, it's still two!"

Wei Zhongxian took a few steps forward and leaned into Zhu Youxiao's ear: "The prison army Liu Yingkun and Ji Yong have successively sent good news: the defenders of Ningyuan and Jinzhou have fought with Jiannu several times, killing and wounding more than 5,000 Jiannu, and Huang Taiji has been forced to withdraw his troops!"

According to the usual practice, the generals who have made meritorious contributions to the customs are about to return to Beijing and personally report the victory to Wan Ye! ”

"Good! Good! Good! Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up with excitement, and he struggled to sit up: "Jiannu invaded my Liaodong and captured my people, the crime is unforgivable!" Draw up a decree for me and reward the meritorious people...... Cough...... Ahem......"

"The old slave will do it, long live the lord can rest assured that he is sick, and he doesn't have to worry about it!" Wei Zhongxian diligently picked up Zhu Youxiao and continued: "Long live Lord, this second happy event...... The old slave heard about it...... The queen mother may be happy ......"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was slightly stunned.

After accidentally falling into the water last year, his health deteriorated, and he rarely came to the concubine!

However, if it is said that Queen Zhang Yan is happy, this is not impossible.

remembers that Zhang Yan's last sleep was three months ago......

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's face was overjoyed, and he held Wei Zhongxian's hand tightly: "This matter is not trivial, it must be confirmed immediately!" Quickly, pass on the Imperial Doctor...... Ahem...... Ahem......"

"Long live the Lord, please take good care of your illness! This matter, the old slave will do it himself! ”

"Okay, okay, okay, go now! Cough...... cough cough cough ......"

……

Wei Zhongxian led the imperial doctor and went straight to Kunning Palace.

Seeing it from afar, Lin Xue'er hurried back to the palace to report.

"That's it, I can't hide it for long, it's time to come sooner or later!"

Zhang Yan smiled indifferently and walked slowly to the back garden.

When passing by Xiaoyuan, the eyes of the four new eunuchs all widened.

can stand out from the 5,000 beauties, Zhang Yan really looks like a fairy!

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Lan Ruomei's face sank, and the four of them knew that they were rude, so they quickly got up and saluted.

"No need! A few fathers-in-law can rest on their own, and if they are unwell, they can ask Caifeng or Xue'er to help pass on the doctor. ”

Zhang Yan's words are neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no meaning of blame.

The four of them didn't dare to look directly, so they quickly lowered their heads.

Several palace maids helped Zhang Yan to the pavilion, and Wang Li dared to peek from a distance, sighing in his heart.

Alas!

That immortal Zhu Youxiao!

With such a beautiful queen, you are embarrassed to die?

He is not yet 23 years old!

Can you bear to keep her alive?

Alack......

Alack......

Wang Li's gaze made Lin Xiaoru, Song Wenhui and Xu Kang extremely disgusted.

Even though he was sweating profusely in pain, he didn't forget to taunt Wang Li a few words.

In this regard, Wang Li just smiled faintly.

Zhang Yan, it's really beautiful!

However, Wang Li only admired her, and did not think anything about it.

Because, he was thinking about the "Eight Uniques of Qinhuai" in the late Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan.

If history is not mistaken, they are in this era!

Even if each of them is not as good as Zhang Yan, if the eight are added together, they are better than Zhang Yan no matter how they say!

Hey!

……

"Queen Mother, recently, it has rained heavily in Beijing, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and several mothers are sick; Long live the lord was worried about the phoenix body of the mother, and sent the old slave to visit. ”

"My father-in-law has a heart!"

Zhang Yan didn't want to look at Wei Zhongxian more, and kept staring at the book in her hand.

However, she did not embarrass the imperial doctor who accompanied her, so she naturally stretched out her right hand and placed it lightly on the stone table.

While the imperial doctor was diagnosing the pulse, Wei Zhongxian was not idle.

Zhang Yan's lower abdomen was blocked by the stone table, but Wei Zhongxian still didn't give up and walked slowly to Zhang Yan's side.

Lan Ruomei coughed a few times, Wei Zhongxian knew that he was rude, but he naturally covered it up: "The book that can enter the eyes of the mother is definitely not a vulgar thing, I don't know who wrote it?" What is the title of the book? ”

"Oh? Grandpa Wei also likes to read? ”

Zhang Yan's words were plain, but Wei Zhongxian was a little embarrassed.

Because, he can't read at all!

Knowing that Zhang Yan was ridiculing herself, Wei Zhongxian was still not angry, his eyes seemed to fall on the book, but he was observing Zhang Yan's lower abdomen.

Zhang Yan knew Wei Zhongxian's original intention, so she didn't deliberately cover it up, but smiled faintly: "This book is not a masterpiece, but it is written by a poor talent in the market, and it can't be elegant." I love it, though! ”

Not surprisingly, these words aroused Wei Zhongxian's interest again.

"A book that a mother can like is not a vulgar thing. I also asked my mother to give me the title of the book, and the old slave also wanted to read it. ”

"This book is already a unique book, called "The Biography of Zhao Gao", I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Zhongxian suddenly realized.

was so angry that he clenched his teeth, but he didn't show his voice.

In the past few years, no one dared to oppose Wei Zhongxian.

However, Empress Zhang of Kunning Palace is not included.

Since she was canonized as the queen, she has never given Wei Zhongxian a good face, and often insults his "opposite wife" Ke (qiΔ›) Yinyue in front of him!

Zhang Yan is the queen after all, she is deeply favored by Zhu Youxiao, and there is no substantial threat, so Wei Zhongxian never thought of getting rid of her.

This time, it's the same.

Touched a nose Wei Zhongxian didn't provoke her anymore, and waited quietly aside.

Several imperial doctors successively diagnosed the pulse, and after discussing in a low voice, Imperial Doctor Xue happily bowed his hand: "Niangniang has been pregnant with a dragon for nearly three months, please take care of the phoenix body!" ”

"Dragon...... Child...... Child? Wei Zhongxian frowned, looking a little cautious: "Imperial Doctor Xue, this matter is not a child's play!" If there is a misdiagnosis, long live the blame, you and I can't afford it! ”

"Father-in-law Wei, Xiaguan's diagnosis will not be wrong, it is indeed a dragon!"

"In that case, quickly report the good news to the Lord of Long Live!"

"Father-in-law Wei rest assured, the lower officials will go, this will go!"

Several imperial doctors did not dare to slack off and hurried to the Qianqing Palace.

In the pavilion, looking at Wei Zhongxian's back and putting down the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his hand, Zhang Yan sighed lightly.

"Niangniang, do you want to go back to the house to rest?"

"No need." Zhang Yan smiled faintly: "Aunt Lan, help me get a pen and paper." ”

"Niangniang, do you really want to prescribe your own medicine?"

"It's okay! I've read several medical books, and it's still okay to get some tocolytics. ”

Zhang Yan said this, Lan Ruomei no longer persuaded her, her face was bitter, and she was helpless.

Perhaps, only by dispensing fetal medicine by yourself, and then finding a confidant to go out of the palace to buy medicine, is the safest way!
