The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 279

After finally approaching the inner hall, the deputy head of the Rui came out with the heads of the palaces. The deputy head of Rui was about forty, tall and slender, fair-skinned, and a bit of a Confucian scholar. Confused, "It turns out that Eunuch Ou is here! Please take a seat!" The high-pitched voice sounded very uncomfortable.

Brother Bao just wanted to say a few words of humility, but everyone pushed him to the throne without any explanation.

Brother Bao couldn't refuse, so he grinned, "Deputy Manager Rui, I'm taking the cake! Please forgive me!"

"Where is that, Eunuch Ou! You can always come, and the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs is full of glory! The blessings that Xiao Ruizi has cultivated in several lifetimes!" Deputy Chief Rui is about forty people, and it is really awkward to call himself Xiao Ruizi, But seeing that he invited little Zhao Zi to another noble place, he sat on the wooden chair on the left by himself.

Originally, the eunuchs in the inner hall belonged to the empress's subordinates, the father-in-law of the Kunde Palace, Xiao Luzi, had the highest status, followed by Brother Bao, and the third was the people in the palace of Concubine Li and Concubine Mei, but everyone knew Now the queen has almost become a nominal name, and only the master of the Jiaofang Palace is the master who can call the wind and rain, so everyone tacitly embraced Brother Bao as the master, Xiao Luzi could only sit aside resentfully, even if he was dissatisfied. Nothing can be done.

Eunuch Rui turned sideways to Brother Bao and laughed in a low voice: "I heard that there is another happy event in Jiaofang Palace? Eunuch Ou has a bright future! One day he will be successful, and Wanwang will take his brother with him!"

Little Zhao Zi chuckled, "Look at what Lao Rui said, isn't this Eunuch Ou not prosperous enough?"

Eunuch Rui waved his hands again and again, "I didn't mean that! I just said that Eunuch Ou is more noble!"

Brother Bao heard that there was something in his words, so he asked in a low voice: "What? Lao Rui knows some news? Let's hear it!"

"You still don't know?" Eunuch Rui was taken aback for a moment, and then said mysteriously: "It's also possible! When I was serving outside the Hanyuan Hall, I heard that Lord Jiang Jiao from the previous court said that!"

Brother Bao saw that he was so mysterious, and knew that there was a big secret hidden in it. He was curious for a moment, and said, "What's the matter? Tell me, if there is a day when you return home, brother, you will never be forgotten! "

Mr. Rui was just waiting for this sentence. Hearing what Brother Bao said, his face turned like a flower, "I heard Mr. Jiang Jiao say something like..." Looking around, he saw Xiao Luzi I was chatting with the father-in-law of other halls, but still worried, and lowered my voice again, "Your Majesty intends to make Concubine Hui the empress!"

"Pop!" Brother Bao spit out all the water half in his mouth, spit half of it on the corner of Eunuch Rui's robe, then pointed at him with a blushing face, and coughed loudly.

Everyone looked at them, and Eunuch Rui hurriedly patted and touched to help Brother Bao calm down.

Little Lu Zile from Kunde Hall asked, "What's the matter?"

Brother Bao blushed, "I'm so drunk that I choked, it's okay!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Eunuch Rui questioningly, meaning that he was serious?

Eunuch Rui nodded calmly.

Brother Bao was overjoyed, he must tell Chang Xi the good news when he returns home!Then she became silent again. The empress valued her status as the mother of the country the most. Knowing that, she would definitely not let it go. She would probably make a last-ditch effort. She had to be prepared!What is even more vigilant is that she cannot be secretly colluded with Concubine Li!
"Grandpas, be well!" Imperial Physician Qian of the imperial hospital was wearing court uniform, carrying a large medicine box on his back, and led a dozen or so medicine boys into the inner hall slowly.

Seeing this, everyone stood up to greet each other, and Brother Bao had to give up thinking for a while, and got up to say a few words.

With a smile, Imperial Physician Qian took out several bottles of medicinal powder from the medicine box and sprinkled them in a large pot of soup, and ordered the medicine boy to dig out several large bowls with a spoon, and gave them to the fathers-in-law of each palace. Thanks.

Xiao Zhaozi took a sip first, closed his eyes, slammed his mouth and said: "Old Qian, your medicine is getting more and more bitter every year!"

Imperial Physician Qian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The good medicine tastes bitter, Eunuch Zhao, would you like another bowl?"

"Forget it!" Little Zhao Zi hurriedly covered the bowl, "If you drink any more, you'll have to vomit!"

Imperial Physician Qian laughed, and bowed to everyone, "The old minister will take the disciples out to distribute the soup and medicine to the servants, and all father-in-laws sit here!"

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Rui cupped his hands and sent him out with a smile.

Brother Bao saw that everyone in the inner hall drank the decoction one after another, and each of them winked, obviously it was extremely unpleasant to drink, so he was puzzled and said: "What is this?"

"Don't Eunuch Ou know?" This time, not only Eunuch Rui, but everyone else was surprised.

Little Zhao Zi hurriedly said: "Grandpa Ou was an errand in Prince Ning's Mansion, and then he was transferred to the palace, so he doesn't know the rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized.

Eunuch Rui explained: "This is the rule of our Ministry of Internal Affairs. Eunuch also knows that we are all rootless people. This... this bar will always have some diseases that are different from others, so this big bowl of medicine at the end of each year is It is used for healing people!"

"Of course this has another small effect!" Xiao Luzi smiled slyly.

Brother Bao saw that he was smiling maliciously, and he was a little worried. If he was not a eunuch, if he drank the medicine, would there be any problems?He coughed lightly, and asked curiously: "Then what's wrong with ordinary people drinking this medicine?"

"Then what's the problem! If you're sick, you'll be cured!" Eunuch Rui blushed and smiled, and then said, "Who is a normal person to drink this!"

Brother Bao understands a little bit!It is said that the eunuchs at this time are castrated, so they often suffer from unclean urine problems, maybe this medicine is for the prostate!I didn't think too much about it right now, I squeezed my nose and poured that bowl of medicine into my stomach!

"Hey! It's so bitter!" Brother Bao's nose and eyes were crowded together.

At this time, Xiao Nei had already served desserts, and Brother Bao took a few pieces of candied fruit from the plate and stuffed them all into his mouth, so as to relieve the bitter smell of the soup, he clasped his fists and said, "It's getting late! I want Go back to the Jiaofang Hall to serve Concubine Hui, now off, brothers and sisters, sit down again!"

"Eunuch Ou, go slowly!" Everyone got up to see each other off, and before leaving, Eunuch Rui secretly stuffed a jade pendant into Brother Bao, who put it in his arms unceremoniously.

Xiao Luzi watched Brother Bao walk away in a big way, feeling very uncomfortable, thinking that when the empress gained power, he was so glamorous in front of people, but when the world changed, he was not as good as Jiaofangdian, Wu Chongyi Xiao Zhao Zihao, one of his subordinates, could imagine the depression in his heart. After drinking a few sips of tea, he shrugged off the Queen's busy work at the end of the year and went back to Kunde Hall.

Everyone is not optimistic about the queen now, so they don't want to keep her. Eunuch Lu is even more unhappy, blaming everyone for being heartless and quick.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Kunde Hall, he heard the queen losing her temper with Yu Zhaorong and other confidantes in the inner hall. Xiao Luzi was startled, and ran into the hall, only to see the queen standing in front of the phoenix chair and pointing at the big man on the ground. The mahogany box with plum blossom patterns yelled angrily: "This is too presumptuous! To take these picked-up inferior goods to Bengong! This Shanggong Bureau still doesn't have the Queen Bengong in the eyes!"

The queen is now nearly forty years old, and it takes nearly two hours to do her makeup every morning. Several court ladies are busy around her to cover the crow's feet in the corners of her eyes with thick lead powder, and to comb her hair in a way that is suitable for her age. It's very laborious to match the old bun with a palace dress that fits the status and is not too gorgeous.Because of this, the monthly expenditure on makeup, clothing and accessories in Kunde Palace is much higher than that of other palaces!There are frequent palace banquets at the end of the year, and she wants to show the queen's money to shock everyone, so she needs good rouge and clothing. How did you know that the Shang Palace Bureau asked Chang Xi to pick out the good things first, so she took these times? How can I keep her from getting angry?
Embarrassment appeared slightly on Guo Shunyi's face, and she comforted her: "Your Majesty, calm down, it's different now than before, that Wu Changxi is very arrogant, and His Majesty has indulged her, even the tributes from all directions can be picked first by her, not to mention that it is the end of the Shang Palace Bureau. clothes and jewelry!"

"That's right! The newly promoted Sun Shanggong hurriedly delivered the good things to the Jiaofang Hall, how could he still remember you, Madam!" Yun Cairen's words were not consolation, they were clearly adding fuel to the fire!

Sure enough, the queen became even more annoyed after hearing these words, and casually threw the small white porcelain bowl on the green bronze tripod and red sandalwood incense table on the ground, and the splashed porcelain fragments startled Yu Zhaorong who was close.

"The doctor my brother found from outside the palace is also useless! So many months have passed, and I don't see any use for his medicine! I still can't conceive a dragonborn for a long time!" Swept to the ground.

Yu Zhaorong frowned slightly, "Your Majesty has never left the Jiaofang Hall, how did the Empress herself conceive a dragon heir?"

The queen was taken aback for a moment, and then she remembered that Li Longji had never favored her since the chaos in the palace. Isn't it ridiculous to talk about children!

Yun Cairen said worriedly: "Your Majesty has been staying in Jiaofang Hall, if this continues, that vixen will conceive again sooner or later!"

"It will be so soon? Didn't she just have a miscarriage?" Guo Shunyi frowned, her hands clenched in handkerchiefs were mixed together.

Yu Zhaorong said with a serious expression: "It's been three or four months, maybe I can conceive in the spring of next year!"

The queen sat back on the phoenix chair dejectedly, leaning on her forehead with one hand and sighing: "This way Wu Changxi's position will be more stable!"

In the past few months, she has been in constant panic all day long. She is not afraid of Li Longji's fickleness. He is just like him before, seeing one and loving the other. This kind of woman is hot, and the other is left behind. Such a woman can't endanger her own position at all. After so many years Come on, the only one who can compete with her is Concubine Li!Even Concubine Mei couldn't rely on her, let alone Fenglu and others, but today is different, His Majesty has changed his temperament and only came to Wu Changxi, this is enough to scare her!
So in the past few months, she has been going to the Jiaofang Hall frequently, not because of anything else, but because she is really afraid that Wu Changxi will sue her in front of His Majesty, and I am afraid that nothing will make him angry. Well, the queen is really useless when she looks like herself!Is there any woman in the world who expects her husband to be kind and doesn't like him? !
The answer is yes, I am this sad wife!
Looking at the queen who was defeated like a rooster, Yu Zhaorong finally couldn't hold back, and said some shocking news that he had just heard, "The empress must not give up at this time, you must know that someone is about to make a move!"
