I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 16
"Hey, it's really pitiful." The queen sighed heavily, raised her head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Miss Qu has superb medical skills and forbearance and self-improvement. She should be a model for the boudoir, and my concubines think that she deserves a heavy reward."

Concubine Xu Gui originally planned to show her loyalty by retreating, so as to keep Xu's eligibility for promotion, but she didn't expect Qu Lingxu's few words to disrupt her plan. Gritting his teeth, he also nodded and said: "What the empress said is very true. According to my humble opinion, how about rewarding a thousand taels of gold?"

"This kind of reward is too thin." The queen flicked Dan Kou's finger painted in bright red, and looked at the emperor with a smile, "The emperor once promised that the reward for Xu Miracle Doctor is to straighten Xu's family. This kind of honor is worth a lot of gold." If you can't even buy it, the concubine might as well use this as an example to reward Miss Qu as a princess to show fairness."

"The princess is a first-class honorable person. Historically, only the daughters of the clan can be enshrined. Does the empress want to make an exception for the emperor's abandonment of the ancestors?" It's all in vain, and you still want to become a noble first-rank princess, go dreaming!

"My younger sister was born in Jianghu after all, and I don't know enough about the rules of the palace." The corner of the queen's lips chewed a sarcasm smile, and said lightly: "According to the Emperor Gaozu's order, in addition to the noble daughters of the clan, those who have made great contributions to the country and society can also be granted titles , Controlling the plague is equivalent to saving the lives of the entire city, isn't that considered a great achievement?"

Qu Lingxu silently gave the queen a hundred praises in her heart, she is worthy of being a fighter in the palace battle, her words were sarcasm and sarcasm, but Concubine Xu Guifei couldn't refute, otherwise, her father who "saved the dying and healed the wounded" would be counted what?

Concubine Xu Gui has always hated people mentioning her origin, and she is one level shorter than concubines of other aristocratic families, but the queen's impeccable words made her unable to refute, so she lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "The concubine just wants to share the emperor's worries. If there is something that offends the empress, I ask the empress to give me a punishment."

Seeing how wronged his charming concubine was, the emperor frowned slightly, "The imperial concubine is just making a suggestion, why should the queen be serious." After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Leng Yuanxun who had been silent all this time, and asked: "The matter of the award , What is Leng Shizi's opinion?"

"My minister was infected with the plague, and he was able to recover with the help of Miss Qu. It is inevitable that he will have selfish intentions, so I ask the emperor to judge him." Leng Yuanxun took a look at Qu Lingxu calmly, and cupped his hands.

The emperor is suspicious by nature, if he is helping Qu Lingxu, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be suspected of collusion in private, it is better to be a bystander, anyway, with the queen around, Xu Guifei will definitely not be able to please her.

"You, you will always have such a straightforward temper." The emperor reprimanded lightly, but looked at Xu Guifei with a colder look than before. Just like Leng Yuanxun said, everyone has selfishness, and Xu Guifei blindly blocked the canonization Qu Lingxu is the princess, I'm afraid it's not as simple as not knowing the ancestral precepts.

Thinking of this, the emperor already had an idea in his heart, and said in a solemn voice: "Qu Lingxu, the daughter of the General Zhen Guo's mansion, has superb medical skills, and she has a beautiful heart and a heart. She thinks that she can solve the plague in the capital. She has contributed to the community and is specially named a first-class Princess Xinyue, reward a thousand taels of gold."

Qu Lingxu did not expect that the empress and concubine Xu could not settle for several times. Leng Yuanxun made the emperor make a decision with only one sentence. After being shocked, he quickly bowed his head and knelt down. Don't dare to be."

"This is the emperor's grace, and Princess Xinyue's gratitude is for it." The queen supported Bu Yao, who was holding her temples, and continued to stare at Concubine Xu Gui as if inadvertently, "Your Majesty, the queen mother's eye disease has not only disappeared for many days. It's getting better, but it's getting worse, the concubine wondered, should Princess Xinyue have a diagnosis and treatment?"
