The Favoured Medical Princess: Picture 469
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
The scorching sun was scorching the earth like a big furnace.
The weather is so sultry that people can't breathe, but even so, people are still coming and going at the gate of Luoyue City, and there is an endless flow of people in the tea shops outside the city.
"Sister, your child has a fever?" A woman in green clothes who was helping took a cup of herbal tea from Ye Yili and handed it to a young woman whose dress was covered with patches.
The young woman held a two or three-year-old boy in her arms. His face was flushed, his breathing was rapid, and his lips were white. He looked sick at first sight.
"My little baby has had a fever since last night, and the fever is getting worse. I brought him to Luoyue City to see the doctor..." The young woman's cheeks, which were burnt red by the scorching sun, were filled with worry, and she carefully fed the boy in her arms. Tong drank some herbal tea and felt very sad. The family could only afford a drop of money in total, and he didn't know if it would be enough to see a doctor.
The woman in Tsing Yi gave a high-five and said: "Sister, you are right. Take your child to the Lu Family Medical Center quickly! After entering the city, walk straight ahead along Beili Street and you will reach the Lu Family Hospital one mile away. It’s a medical center..."
The young woman looked at her with a puzzled look. The woman in Tsing Yi hurriedly explained briefly and concisely the fact that the Lu Family Medical Center was ordered by the imperial concubine to treat feverish children for free.
The young woman still couldn't believe it. She blinked and asked, "Sister, is everything you said true?" Is there such a good thing?
"Of course it's true. That notice is posted on the notice board behind the city gate!" The woman in Tsing Yi pointed in the direction of the city gate and said, "Sister, the child's fever can be big or small, so hurry up and take care of it. Let the child go to the hospital."
"Thank you, eldest sister! Thank you, eldest sister!" The young woman picked up the child and stood up, leaning over to thank her. Then she left the tea shop and walked away in a hurry.
The woman in Tsing Yi watched the other party's back enter the city, then put the celadon bowl from which the young woman had just drunk herbal tea separately into a copper basin filled with mugwort water, and then went to use the mugwort carefully. Wash your hands and face.
Afterwards, the woman in Tsing Yi filled another pot of mugwort water. Just as she was about to greet Ye Yili, she saw a familiar figure outside the tea shop and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, your brother is here!"
Brother... Ye Yili hurriedly looked outside the tea shop. Sure enough, her brother Ye Yinming was looking at her with a smile outside the tea shop. Although he was only wearing a simple blue robe, he looked like a tree in the wind.
Ye Yili hurriedly rushed forward and said in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"
Ye Yinming smiled slightly and said warmly: "I just finished my errands, and I just wanted to come over and pick you up to go home with you."
Before Ye Yili spoke, the plump woman in charge of the tea shop smiled again: "Miss Ye, since your brother has come to pick you up, you should go back first. It's almost time anyway."
Ye Yili thanked the other party and took off her apron. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the woman in green say again: "Miss Ye, come here and wash your face and hands with mugwort water before you leave."
Ye Yili's beautiful face froze for a moment, but the other party agreed out of good intentions after all. She washed her face and hands, wiped her cheeks with a white towel, and then said goodbye to the women who helped in the tea shop.
The brother and sister walked side by side towards the city gate. Ye Yili could still faintly hear the women who were helping in the tea shop behind talking about her brother, saying that Mr. Ye did not need to study in Qingmao Academy; he praised her. Mr. Ye is a talented man and will definitely be extraordinary in the future; and Miss Ye is also blessed...
Ye Yili couldn't help but curl her lips slightly. Her brother was naturally one of the best among men. In the future, when his brother was named on the gold medal list, who would dare to look down on them again?
After entering the city gate, Ye Yinming asked what happened just now: "Sister, is there any infectious disease in the city recently?" Otherwise, why would the woman just ask her sister to wash her face with mugwort water? handwashing.
Ye Yili's face was as dark as water and her voice was slightly cold: "Some children have been suffering from seven-day rash recently..."
"Seven-day rash?"
Ye Yili nodded and told the ins and outs of the seven-day rash, including the fact that the Lu Family Medical Center in Nangong Yueling City, the crown prince, treated children with fever for free.
While speaking, Ye Yili had a hint of disapproval in her eyes. Although Nangong Yueling Medical Center's free clinic is a good thing that benefits the people, people have to consider what the other party's mentality is.
Ye Yili said calmly: "Brother, controlling epidemics has always been a matter for the government. The imperial concubine has to come forward on her own. It's really..." She is suspected of trying to gain fame.
"What my sister said is true." Ye Yinming also agreed. Thinking of Bixiaotang's "thousands of gold to buy bones", his heart went up and down violently. Judging from the thousands of dollars spent on bones to the current free clinic, the Crown Princess is nothing but a deceitful person!
However, the prince is not much better...
Ye Yinming couldn't help but think of what he had heard in the royal capital before, and said coldly: "Although Prince Xiao has great military exploits, he is arrogant and domineering and acts wantonly." He sighed and shook his head, "This military general family is indeed What a rude person! Speaking of which, Miss Xiao is outstanding in learning and does good deeds without being known to others. She really doesn't look like a child of a military general..." She is truly someone who has emerged from the mire and remained untainted!
As he spoke, Ye Yinming's eyes revealed a bit of admiration. After that chance meeting at the bookstore, he could not forget Miss Xiao. It was a pity that he never had the chance to see the beauty again...
As Ye Yinming said, Ye Yili also felt the same way. The tea shop outside the city was set up by Xiao Fei. Before the intervention of the imperial concubine, no one in Luoyue City knew who the owner of the tea shop was. , Xiao Fei has a noble character, and is fond of literature but dislikes martial arts. She is a perfect match for her brother.
It's a pity that Xiao Fei lives in deep boudoir and seldom goes out. Her brother cannot enter or leave the palace's backyard, so the two of them have never had a chance to meet each other until now. If Xiao Fei saw her brother's talent, she would definitely be impressed by him.
Opportunity is just one chance away!
Wait! Ye Yili frowned and thought of something. A few days ago, she accidentally heard a few scholars drinking herbal tea in the tea shop mention that there would be a promotion show in a while.
Maybe it works...
The more Ye Yili thought about it, the more excited she became, and she hurriedly said: "Brother, do you know about the exhibition meeting?"
Ye Yinming was stunned and nodded.
In Wangdu and Jiangnan, literary scholars would gather together from time to time to hold poetry gatherings, talk about the past and the present, and express their feelings. If you are lucky, you may become famous and be appreciated by nobles; in comparison, Nan However, Xinjiang has many warriors and few literati. In Luo Yue City, this exhibition attracted people's attention, allowing students to have the opportunity to show their talents.
Promoting Xiuhui... Ye Yinming quickly understood what his sister meant, and couldn't help but feel happy on his face. Not only were there a number of students and literati at the show, but also the families of well-known girls from various mansions in Luoyue City came to the show to watch the talented and talented people show off their talents. Over the years, several beautiful marriages have been made. With Xiao Feixiwen's temperament, she would definitely go to promote the show, so wouldn't she have the opportunity to express her true feelings in front of her and let her see her talents?
But soon, Ye Yinming thought of something else. He lowered his shoulders in frustration and sighed: "Sister, although I believe that I will never lose to others in talent and learning, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to this promotion show... ..." Seeing Ye Yili's anxious look, Ye Yinming raised his hand to signal her to wait for him to finish, "Sister, please listen to me, I'm afraid you don't know something. This promotion show is held every two years in Luo Yuecheng. Naturally, not everyone can go to this grand event. Young masters from aristocratic families can naturally receive invitations to the show promotion event; but if ordinary students want to participate in the show promotion event, they must have fame and status. Someone with high status will be his guarantee..." He is just a commoner, who can he find to be his guarantee? !
Ye Yili had a look of indignation on her face and bit her lower lip reluctantly. Her brother is so talented, does he really want to give up a great opportunity that might kill two birds with one stone? !
No, there must be a way!
Ye Yili half-closed her eyes and pondered for a moment... She quickly made up her mind again, and a gentle smile overflowed on her face. She eagerly looked up at her brother and said, "Brother, you have a reputation. The only thing you need is someone to be your guarantee. Concubine Wei has been very kind to me since I taught Wu Niangnong in the palace. I can mention Concubine Wei and ask Concubine Wei to ask the prince to be your guarantee..." Then The elder brother can naturally participate in the show promotion meeting and meet Miss Xiao.
Let his sister come forward to beg the concubine Wei... Ye Yinming hesitated for a moment, wouldn't it mean that his sister would beg for help from others?
A flash of unbearability flashed in Ye Yinming's eyes, and he said: "Sister, it's better..." Forget it?
"Brother!" Ye Yili grabbed her brother's sleeve and looked at him with a pair of clear eyes without blinking, "Brother, with your talent and learning, you will definitely shine at the show! ”
Ye Yinming was calmed by Ye Yili's firm eyes. After a while, he finally nodded slowly and secretly swore in his heart: He will definitely let his sister live a good life!
……
Speaking of Xiu Xiuhui, it is a major event that everyone in Luoyue City knows about. It has also become the focus of heated discussion in the city in recent days.
Unlike several cities on the southeastern border that were in panic, Luo Yue City had already returned to normal after the initial panic, even though the battle with Nanliang had not yet been won.
Perhaps it was because Huiling City was far away from here and could not feel the smoke of gunfire, or perhaps because they believed in the prince's bravery and prowess in fighting. In short, the biennial promotion meeting was not postponed because of this war.
However, for Nangong Yue, who is new here, the so-called "show promotion meeting" is really strange.
Nangong Yue didn’t hear this name for the first time until a golden cloud pattern post came from the office a few days later.
Seeing the post, Xiao Fei couldn't hide the excitement on her little face and said: "Sister-in-law, this is the Xiuhui."
Nangong Yue looked confused, "Zhaoxiu meeting?"
She reached out to take the post and was about to open it when she heard a "meow" sound. The cat Xiaobai walked out of nowhere, squatting on the ground, raising its fluffy little head, one gold and one blue. Yuanyang's eyes widened and he looked at Nangong Yue doubtfully, as if asking, what are you looking at?
Nangong Yue didn't even need to look at her to express her feelings. Huamei already understood what she was thinking. He picked up Xiaobai and put him on her knees.
Xiao Fei felt itchy for a moment, so she leaned over and stroked Xiao Bai's back. Finally, she remembered that Nangong Yue had only arrived at Nangong Yue a few months ago, so she probably didn't know about the Xiu Xiu Club, so she explained : "Sister-in-law, the exhibition is held by Wanmu Academy..."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, "I remember Wanmu Academy is one of the three major academies in southern Xinjiang, right?"
There are three major academies in southern Xinjiang. In addition to Qingmao Academy and Ninghe Academy, the last one is Wanmu Academy. Among them, Wanmu Academy has the largest area and the largest scale. The repairs of the academy are not cheap, so you can come here. The students studying in the family academy are basically the children of aristocratic families who are either rich or noble.
However, even so, not everyone can enter. For example, a mediocre idiot like Fang Shilei, even if he has a fortune, Wanmu Academy will not accept him.
Seeing Xiao Fei looking at Xiao Bai eagerly, Nangong Yue simply sent Xiao Bai into Xiao Fei's arms.
Xiao Fei hugged Xiaobai and gently scratched its chin while replying: "Sister-in-law, this is the academy. The promotion meeting is only held every two years, and the mountain president meeting of Wanmu Academy is here. Several halls were opened on this day, and many original and authentic works by famous masters from past dynasties were displayed. These original and original works were either collected by the academy, or were voluntarily put on display by other mansions. I heard that they will also be displayed at this exhibition. "Fishing Alone in the Snow in the Cold River" by Tang Yan." As she spoke, Xiao Fei's eyes sparkled, and it was obvious that she couldn't wait to see how excited she was.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to come with us?" Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue expectantly.
Not everyone can go to the Xiu Xiu Meeting. You need to get a post from Wanmu Academy. Of course, with the status of Zhennan Palace, it is impossible to miss this post. In previous years, similar posts would naturally be sent to the main courtyard for Xiao Fang, but now, they are sent directly to Bixiaotang.
Xiao Fei was in high spirits, but it was not just the female family members who were coming that day. She was a girl who had not left the government, so she still needed to be accompanied by her elders when going to similar occasions.
Seeing Xiao Fei's shining eyes, Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Sister Fei, let's go together!"
"Sister-in-law," Xiao Fei smiled happily, with a beautiful smile blooming on her face, "Then we have made an agreement!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was another "wu" sound, a soft and coquettish sound, which was different from Xiaobai's cry. The chubby orange cat stuck out its round head from outside the threshold and looked at Xiao Fei, no, or rather Xiao Bai on Xiao Fei's knees.
Xiao Bai patted Xiao Fei's hand, then stood up, stretched lazily, and landed lightly on the ground. It walked slowly outside the house, gave a "meow" to Xiao Ju, and then walked away proudly. Xiao Ju followed behind it obediently, as if it were its most loyal followers. The two little guys were so adorable. The appearance made all the masters and servants in the room laugh.
Relying on their status, these two little guys are extremely powerful in the Zhennan Palace. They go back and forth between Yuebiju and Bixiaotang every day. The entire palace has become their territory, and those maids and women When the disciples saw them, they all treated them as their masters, and no one dared to neglect them.
Watching the two little guys walk away, Xiao Fei suddenly remembered the topic they were talking about, and continued: "... In addition to exhibiting some orphan calligraphy and paintings at the exhibition, Wanmu Academy will also Arrange some interesting new activities, such as the orchid fight last time; the herb fight with a meandering water cup; and an antique appreciation event was held last year. I picked out an antique from the previous dynasty that had been overlooked - a snuff bottle. I heard it was a tribute hundreds of years ago, and it became a talk of the show..."
Xiao Fei was talking eloquently, and Nangong Yue also listened with interest, and echoed from time to time. She originally planned to accompany Xiao Fei to visit, but now even she herself was somewhat interested.
Xiao Fei talked to Nangong Yue enthusiastically for half an hour, until the two stewards came to Nangong Yue to ask for a match, Xiao Fei resigned on her own.
After Nangong Yue finished handling the trivial matters and another incense time passed, Baihui was about to ask her if she wanted to rest for a while. At this time, Huamei came to report that Concubine Wei was here.
Nangong Yue was slightly surprised. Concubine Wei always "did not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything". Could it be that Xiao Rongyu was ill again?
It's just that Xiao Rongyu's seven-day rash has reached the seventh day, and the rash on his body has already faded, so there should be no more changes.
Quie'er on the side thought of something and said: "Prince Concubine, Concubine Wei came to see you, maybe it has something to do with Miss Ye... I just heard that Miss Ye went to Yulin early this morning. Ju Qiu met with the imperial concubine Wei."
Is Ye Yili here? Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, now that she doesn't have to take the prostitute class, what is she going to do?
Whether it was for Ye Yili or not, now that the Wei family was here, Nangong Yue didn't bother to guess, and said directly: "Go and invite Concubine Wei to come in."
Nangong Yue straightened her clothes and went to the main room.
Wei Shi, who was dressed in light blue with magnolia flowers all over the ground, was still elegant and calm as always. When she saw Nangong Yue coming, she put down the tea cup in her hand.
After the two greeted each other, they both sat down again.
Ms. Wei may seem a bit weak, but she is always very straightforward in what she says and does, and she doesn't talk around in circles. She just said directly: "His concubine, I have taken the liberty to come here because of that Miss Ye."
Hearing this, Huamei couldn't help but glance at Que'er quietly, expressing her respect for Que'er with her eyes: Sister Que'er really has the tendency to become a divine teller?
Under Thrush's admiring eyes, the magpie puffed up its chest proudly, with an expression that seemed to say, I'm just seeing the subtle things!
Nangong Yue looked at Wei quietly, waiting for the other party to continue.
After Mrs. Wei paused for a moment, she stared at Nangong Yue's expression and continued: "Miss Ye came to the palace this morning to find me. She said that she wanted to ask me to help talk to the prince and act as a guarantee for her brother. So that Mr. Ye can participate in this year’s promotion show."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why did the concubine tell me this?"
There was a flash of hesitation in Mrs. Wei's eyes, but in the end she said decisively: "I want Miss Ye to enter the palace and serve the prince."
These words of Wei's were so shocking that Huamei almost cried out in surprise, and even Magpie couldn't hide her surprise.
Nangong Yue looked calm, without a trace of surprise, and could not tell her likes and dislikes. She said calmly: "Concubine Wei, I am the daughter-in-law. How can I interfere in the affairs of my father's inner house?"
Ms. Wei was stunned for a while, then smiled, stood up gracefully, and said, "What the Crown Princess said is that I am reckless. Then I will stop disturbing the Crown Princess!"
Nangong Yue slightly chinned her head, "Well done, Concubine Wei. Huamei, see the guests off."
Mr. Wei left just as quickly as she came. Anyway, the purpose of her trip has been achieved!
The reason why Wei came to Bixiaotang specifically was to test Nangong Yue's attitude.
After all, Mrs. Wei has already decided that she will follow the prince's lead. Although the prince's concubine is a daughter-in-law, whether the prince takes concubines is not only a matter of whether there will be an extra woman in the prince's backyard, but may also affect the inheritance of the title and the inheritance of the family property. Although Mrs. Wei just wanted Ye Yili to enter the house and would never give her a chance to get pregnant, the imperial concubine didn't know that if she suspected her intentions, it would be more of a loss than she gained...
So, Mrs. Wei had already planned that if the Crown Princess was unhappy at all, she would stop immediately and not argue with Ye Yili.
However, Mrs. Wei never expected that the Crown Princess would not take Ye Yili seriously at all.
Ms. Wei walked out of the room with her skirt in hand, a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Ye Yili is a bit pretentious, and Mrs. Wei has long sensed from the other party's tone and attitude that she is dissatisfied with Bixiaotang. Wei later made a special investigation and found out that Ye Yili had some disagreements with the Crown Princess. Before coming, Mrs. Wei originally thought that the Crown Princess either disapproved of it, or that although she seemed to agree, she would use her own power to attack Ye Yili. Little did she expect that the Crown Princess didn't care at all.
Same!
What is the identity of the Crown Princess? She is the legitimate daughter of the famous Nangong family and the dignified princess. She is the most noble woman in this southern Xinjiang. However, Ye Yili is just a poor commoner's daughter. That's the difference between cloud and mud.
How can people take ants seriously?
To put it bluntly, what Miss Ye did in front of the Crown Princess was probably as ridiculous as a clown.
This trip was not in vain. Mrs. Wei was now relieved. Since the Crown Princess didn't care at all, she could do it boldly!
The fact that Wei has reached this point proves that she is a person who is good at seizing opportunities.
So that day, she successfully invited King Zhennan to her yard.
The King of Zhennan first visited Xiao Rongyu who had just recovered from her illness, played with her for a while, and then went to her room accompanied by Mrs. Wei.
Ms. Wei ordered someone to serve a bowl of chilled mung bean soup and said gently: "The weather is hot. Your Majesty, please drink a bowl of mung bean soup to cool down. I made it myself."
The King of Zhennan was very impressed. With a smile on his face, he said softly: "Weier, you should also pay attention to your health, be careful of getting heatstroke."
Ms. Wei smiled and blessed him again: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll save you." After saying that, she walked behind King Zhennan, squeezed his shoulders gently, and massaged him to relieve his fatigue.
The King of Zhennan felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but squint his eyes. In his ears, he heard Wei Shi say softly: "I saw Miss Ye today, so I quietly let the prince know..."
The King of Zhennan was overjoyed, and his somewhat distracted energy suddenly gathered together, "How do you say it?"
Ms. Wei's voice hesitated, but she continued, "Miss Ye didn't answer me directly, she only said that I hope I can help you with two things."
Help? ! King Zhennan frowned, "What are you busy with?"
A flash of sharpness flashed in Mrs. Wei's eyes, but her expression remained gentle. She said slowly: "Miss Ye said that she would like to ask the prince to be her brother's guarantor, Mr. Ye, to participate in the show promotion meeting, and...she , She wants to ask the prince to help find out the title of this year's show."
The King of Zhennan could understand the first request, and it was just a piece of cake for him, but when he heard the second request, his face no longer looked good.
Although Mrs. Wei couldn't see his face, she could clearly feel his shoulders stiffen. After a while, she heard him say: "I will ask someone to ask the mountain chief tomorrow." There was a tone in his voice. The interest he had just now was no longer there, and he seemed a little dull.
The corner of Wei's lips raised slightly and she said, "Then I told Miss Ye the good news."
Ye Yili did come to see her today, but she just asked Zhennan King to give her brother a guarantee instead of asking for a question.
With that status, it is not unreasonable for Mrs. Wei to gain a foothold in the Zhennan Palace and be favored deeply. She knows the Zhennan King too well. The Zhennan King likes beauties, but what really makes him feel at ease is Only the kind of woman who is "as noble as a white lotus" is the only one in the world, not someone who doesn't know how to be generous just because of his favor...
For King Zhennan, it is not difficult to ask a test question from the mountain chief. In the final analysis, it is not an imperial examination, but a small competition. In order to please the beauty, King Zhennan would even take the initiative to ask the mountain chief for questions. But the premise is... taking the initiative and not as a quid pro quo!
However, even if King Zhennan is unhappy with Ye Yili's character at this time, he is still interested in the beauty. Wei believes that he will give the question to her soon. As for after that...
Mr. Wei can't help but look forward to the show promotion meeting.
