The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Chapter 20
"Yaoyao, the Ai family has thought about it carefully. After you get married, go to Xishu and stay away from the capital."

There was no one in the hall, the Empress Dowager spoke out her plan, looked at the child's facial features resembling those of the late emperor, sighed with guilt, and did not want to pierce the paper that was as thin as a cicada's wing.

Xiao Huan got up, went to the center and knelt down, looked up at the doubtful queen mother, and said seriously, "Mother, my son can go to Xishu, but please allow my mother a request."

"Why did you kneel down? Get up and talk."

"If the queen mother wants her children and officials to stay away from the government, then Li Yuan's daughter must never marry."

"...Get up, sit down and talk, the Ai family is not yet old and dim-sighted. The Ai family knows Li Yuan's habits very well, but his eldest daughter is gentle and quiet, and her appearance and temperament are similar to those of her grandfather's Gao family. He is a very good child, and after he got married, he went to Xishu with you, even if Li Yuan committed evil himself in the future, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, he will not be involved in anything."

"Mother, your thinking is too simple. Don't say that Li Yuan will try every means to prevent my minister from going to Xishu, but whether my minister will be released by His Majesty smoothly."

The empress dowager looked at her son with a calm expression, and asked after a while, "The Ai family will persuade the emperor about this matter, but in the end it will treat you badly. If you can't develop your ambition, will you blame the empress mother?"

"I don't dare, and I won't. My mother has been worrying about my son's affairs all these years. I also understand the deep meaning of letting my son go to Xishu. It's just Li Yuan's daughter, and my son can't marry."

"Since you understand the Queen Mother's heart, why do you still refuse? Madam Zheng told Aijia that you refused the regulation and arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, and there will not even be a young maid in the new mansion, only a few women will be left. Follower, cold, how old are you, and you don't even have a caring person around you, how can you let Aijia feel at ease? Marry a gentle and demure mistress and go back to manage the house, hot food and hot kang, why not good?"

The more the Empress Dowager spoke, the more she felt distressed, and she even uttered some rude sentences. After thinking about it again, she looked at her son in doubt, "Do you have someone you like?"

"..." Xiao Huan was silent, although it was not the right time, but he didn't want to deny it.

"Really? Which lady? No, you just came back. When did you meet?" The queen mother was very surprised and asked repeatedly.

"...It's about the reputation of the women in the boudoir. I can't talk about it for the time being. Please forgive me." Xiao Huan rubbed his nose, avoiding his mother's distant gaze.

"There is no outsider here, as long as the queen mother doesn't say anything, what are you afraid of?" The queen mother patted the table, burning with anxiety. Her son has been lonely since he was a child. She was really curious about the kind of person her son had his eyes on.

Xiao Huan caught a glimpse of a group of palace people approaching with trays outside the palace gate, heaved a sigh of relief, got up and helped his mother up, "Mother, let's have lunch first, and my son will accompany you."

"Don't change the subject, don't you use this trick less?" The queen mother glared at her son.

After the palace staff had prepared the meal, Xiao Huan helped his mother to sit down at the nanmu round table, and said with a smile, "I don't have enough breakfast, I'm really hungry."

"Hey, you, what did my mother say about you? Let's have a meal first. My mother asked Ah Yan to make the winter bamboo shoots you like." There is no mother in the world who does not care about her child's hungry stomach, and the queen mother of a country is not immune .

In the afternoon, when the Empress Dowager took a nap, Xiao Huan exited the Yongfu Palace, heaved a sigh of relief, walked around the pavilions and corridors, meandering the waterside pavilions, and walked towards the palace avenue.

At the gate of the palace, a tall young man in formal attire and blue robe was standing. Seeing Xiao Huan coming out, a smile appeared on his elegant and handsome face.

"Uncle Wan'an." The man bowed his hands respectfully.

"A Yan." Xiao Huan stretched out his hand to help, and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile. The eldest prince Xiao Yan was only two years younger than him, and he grew up together in the palace. Compared with uncles and nephews, he was more of a friend. Affection.

"I left the city yesterday, and I'm coming back today. I heard that the emperor's uncle entered the palace to accompany the emperor's grandmother for dinner, so I'm waiting here." Xiao Yan looked at the man in front of him who was still handsome, but with a few more soldiers, his tone changed. Get familiar with it.

"Go and sit at my house." Xiao Huan said as he walked towards Yi Xing and others who were waiting outside the palace gate.

"Of course, Uncle Huang wants to tell me about the feat of that battle."

Nanshan Betsuin on the outskirts of Kyoto
In front of the black nanmu desk, Xiao Rui, who was dressed in a golden python robe, rubbed his aching forehead, frowned and looked at the folder in his hand, then dropped it with a snap after a while, and closed his blurry eyes.

"Pass on Gao Yi."

Eunuch Cao withdrew in response, and ordered the little eunuch at the door to summon Imperial Physician Gao, and returned to stand by the desk. From the corner of his eye, he saw the tightly closed eyes on His Majesty's resolute face, and his heart was worried.

In recent months, His Majesty's head has become more and more severe, his vision is often blurred, and sometimes he can't even see the imperial brush on hand.

"My minister, Gao Yi, joins His Majesty." A man in green clothes and a plain robe walked into the main room with a medical box and saluted Xiao Rui.

"Pingshen, my head hurts again, and it only relieved for a while after taking the golden pill." Xiao Rui stood up, moved half of his tingling shoulder, went to the Longteng recliner and sat down, his voice tired.

"Your Majesty, although the golden pill is only for temporary pain relief, it should not be taken too much." Gao Yi lightly repeated what he had said countless times, raised his hand to feel his pulse, his black hair was tied up with a jade ring, his face was beautifully lined, and his complexion was fair. Sword-shaped eyebrows set into the temples, a pair of peach blossom eyes are slightly long, thick eyelashes, slightly raised eye tips, high nose bridge and slightly plump lower lips, masculine and feminine, but not femininity. He is middle-aged, but age only adds maturity and stability to his handsome and handsome face.

Next to him, Eunuch Cao clicked his tongue secretly. This Imperial Physician Gao's appearance is really pleasing to the eye, and even he would be taken aback from time to time by what he usually sees.

"You don't need to persuade me, Jindan relieves pain faster than drinking that bitter medicine, but in the past two months, my vision is often blurred."

"The pulse condition is thin and astringent. Your Majesty's tongue has dark purple ecchymosis, which is caused by the stagnation of qi and blood and blurred vision. I will give you acupuncture to relieve the pain first."

Gao Yi opened the medicine box, took out the syringe, inserted needles from Taiyang, Fengchi, Lily, and Hegu, twisted the tail of the needle, and left it for a quarter of an hour before pulling it out.

Xiao Rui's headache gradually subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief from fatigue, closed his eyes and waved his hands, Gao Yi bowed and retreated, Eunuch Cao took a fox blanket and gently covered Xiao Rui, and exited the palace gate.

Main House of Li Mansion
The room is spacious and bright, with gorgeous decorations. On the main seat on the soft mattress of hundreds of flowers, Lin Qing, dressed in a saffron embroidered brocade robe, is sitting, with a straight back, slightly thick makeup on her face, cumbersome hair bun, emerald green hairpin rings, and her head held high. chest, and beside him sat a little boy with a round face in brocade clothes.

On the seats on both sides under the main seat, Li Ruyue was wearing a long plum-colored satin dress, with a red brocade velvet-trimmed jacket over it, her black hair combed in the current trendy bun, and red plum blossoms on her forehead. The red phoenix eyes with pink rouge swept towards the door from time to time. Next to her was Li Ruyun, who was dressed in elegant pink and bowed her head silently, and Li Ruruo, who was pretty with double buns and sleepy with her chin resting. A steward, aggressive.

Li Ru'an, who was dressed in a plain blue long dress, stepped into the threshold, followed by Li Ren, who was in a plain white robe. The siblings had similar cool and leisurely temperament, one was elegant and calm, the other was handsome and elegant. , whispering.

Li Ruyue stared fiercely at that plain and beautiful face, took a deep breath of the jealousy in her heart, raised the corners of her mouth, and waited for a good show.

Li Ru'an Shiran walked to the center, nodded slightly to the chief seat, turned around and walked to the side and sat down peacefully, took the blue and white porcelain tea bowl presented by the maid, sipped his mouth and put it down, a set of movements came down smoothly and naturally, with an elegant posture.

Li Ren was taken aback, bowed his hands and saluted, walked to sit next to his sister, followed his sister's example and also drank tea with a calm expression.

The air suddenly fell silent, and the servants who were still in high spirits all kept silent and lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

Lin Qing opened her mouth in amazement, seeing that the siblings were studying the teacups there, she gritted her teeth and winked at Cui's mother next to her.

After receiving the order, Mama Cui raised her head and chest, smiled at Li Ru'an and said, "Maybe Miss has forgotten something? After you came back, you haven't kowtowed to Madam yet."

"Mother Cui, Eldest Sister has cultivated in that barren countryside for many years. It is understandable for her to forget the rules of the capital. Someone needs to re-teach her, right?" proud of.

Li Ruyun raised his head to look at Li Ru'an, his eyes were full of worry, and then he glanced at the chief seat, twisting the handkerchief, hesitant to speak, his expression struggling.

"Oh, the countryside is rough, and there are some poor and vulgar people. Missy has been here for a long time, and there will be rules in Beijing if she forgets. Mother Cui, please teach Missy." Lin Qing smiled pitifully. said.

Raising his hand to stop Li Ren who wanted to get up, Li Ru'an gave Xuegu a look, drinking tea with a relaxed expression.

Xue Gu straightened her collar and walked to the center. She stood up after saluting with half a knee, and looked straight at Lin Qing who was seated on the main seat with piercing eyes.

"It is clearly stated in the Book of Rites of Daqing's laws and records that the first wife is three matchmakers and six hired, and the Ming matchmaker is married. Ning, you can help your concubine to succeed you, but, for the sake of the Ming Zheng's concubines, to prevent usurpation, the dowry, land, house and property of the concubine will be inherited by the children, and the children of the concubine can live in separate homes, and there is no need to perform the grand ceremony of parents to the step-wife. When the concubine is a concubine, all the concubines are concubines, and only after being promoted to the successor can they be concubines, and the children of the previous concubines cannot be changed to concubines, and the law is strict.

Xuegu is neither humble nor overbearing, and a passage of words is well-spoken, resounding, sonorous and powerful, and the lingering sound lingers in the quiet room.

"Jiang Xue! You are presumptuous!"

Every sentence is a concubine and a stepmother, like a knife piercing the heart, Lin Qing blushed and slapped the armrest of the wooden chair fiercely, trembling all over and scolding loudly, the green jade bracelet on his wrist shattered to the ground with a clang, Li next to him Rong cried out, and the nanny hurriedly hugged and coaxed him out of the room. Li Ruoruo also widened his eyes in fright, and was hugged out by the nanny beside him.

"Mrs. Lin, forgive me. What this servant girl said is only the system in the Book of Rites, without any modification, and no offense intended. Madam Lin can go and check it out." Xue Gu looked at Lin Qing, who was blushing and thick-necked, with a calm tone, and communicated Feeling comfortable, she wanted to say these words for too long.

"How bold, you, a slave, dare to contradict the head wife? Who taught you the rules?" Cui's mother shouted loudly, her eyes still on Li Ru'an.

"Then you, a slave, dare to teach Miss Ben how to do things, and who taught the rules?" Li Ru'an glanced at Cui's mother, and said lightly.

With that cold look, Cui's mother was inexplicably sweating, and choked back at the words that came to her mouth.

"Elder Sister, although there are system records, which one in Beijing does not have such rules, and how many people actually act in accordance with the laws and records? You are so arrogant and rude, are you not afraid of offending people?" The difference was clearly directed at her, Li Ruyue gritted her teeth to suppress her anger, maintained her superficial elegance, and spoke softly.

"It's all for you to say here. Although you are just a mere concubine, you are still a girl in the prime minister's mansion. You are a law-blind, nonsense, and spreading nonsense will bring disaster?" Li Ru'an put down his teacup, frowning. Looking at her, the cold and pleasant voice penetrated into the hearts of the people every word.

"You! Don't forget, my mother is the main wife now!" Li Ruyue didn't understand the meaning, she only focused on the mere concubine, and said through gritted teeth.

"Second sister, be careful!" Li Renhuo stood up, frowned and said in a deep voice, "The laws and records of Daqing were made by the previous kings. It is natural for ordinary people to know the law and abide by it. Father is the prime minister. As a daughter, you tampered with the law without authorization, spoke out loudly, and despised the Book of Rites, but have you ever thought about what kind of disaster will be brought to the Li family and father if it is spread by someone with a heart?"

"I, I didn't! I didn't mean that!" The crime was serious, Li Ruyue was flustered, her face flushed and she looked at Lin Qing for help.

　Haha, I am excited to see the ticket all day
