I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 191
Due to getting older, the skin and flesh on Aunt Ouyang's forehead was a little loose. Now that she thinks about it like this, her forehead is twisted into a chrysanthemum shape. After a while, it gradually stretched out, and she tentatively said: "Master's meaning, the emperor The most important thing now is not to damage the royal family's face, as for who to marry Princess Qingyu to, it is not that important?"

"It's still not confused." The queen casually threw the jade comb in her hand on the dressing table, leaned lazily on the cushion, and said unhurriedly: "For the emperor, the most important thing is the country, the country, and the country. It is the dignity of the royal family, but it is a pity that Princess Qingyu touched these two taboos at the same time, how can she not provoke the emperor to fly into a rage?"

"The princess has become what she is now, and her biological mother, Concubine Xu, cannot be blamed, so the emperor annoyed Concubine Xu, and in order not to let the princess continue to indulge, he handed her over to the master to discipline her." Solving the doubts in his mind, Ouyang The aunt looked refreshed, and then snorted coldly: "The emperor really doesn't understand Concubine Xu at all. How can she be so greedy for profit, how can she really love this useless daughter? This afternoon, the female doctor But the ingredients of tranquilizers were found in those meals.”

If it wasn't for Princess Qingyu's hunger strike, I'm afraid she would have passed this day in a daze.

"Keep an eye on her. Now that she is in Zhaoyang Palace, if she makes any mistakes, I will be responsible for not taking good care of her, and..." The Queen took a sip of her tea and continued: "This time it is to soothe the nerves." Medicine, next time, I don’t know what it is.”

Although the queen didn't say it clearly, the meaning in the words was self-evident. Aunt Ouyang's eyelids twitched, and she blurted out: "Master Xu Guifei...isn't it?"

'A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring', let alone a child born in ten months of pregnancy, how can he be so cruel?
"When Empress Xiaochang of the previous dynasty was still a noble concubine, in order to pull down the then Empress Chen of the Central Palace, she did not hesitate to strangle her daughter who had just reached the first month to death in her infancy. What." The queen put down the teacup slowly, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Princess Qingyu is just a burden that may bring disasters to Concubine Xu at any time. Instead of worrying about it day and night, it's better to come here and settle everything. Take this opportunity to drag Ben Gong into the water."

If Princess Qingyu died unexpectedly in Zhaoyang Palace, the emperor would definitely punish the empress when he was furious, and concubine Xu Guifei, a poor woman who lost her beloved daughter, would get more sympathy from the emperor, so why not do it ?
Although Aunt Ouyang didn't think Concubine Xu Gui would be as vicious as Empress Xiaochang, but since she got the order, she naturally solemnly complied, "Master, don't worry, this servant will definitely pay attention to Princess Qingyu's diet and daily life, so that no one will have the opportunity to tamper with her." .”

The queen nodded slightly, and said lightly: "The prince should return to the East Palace at this time, you go there yourself, and let him come to this palace for dinner."

Now that he has made up his mind to make use of Princess Qingyu's affairs to make a fuss, he must plan carefully to ensure nothing goes wrong.

When it came to dinner, Aunt Ouyang's face that had just softened could not help showing a bit of sadness, and she said indignantly: "Today is the night of the full fifteenth month, according to the ancestor's precept, the emperor should come to accompany the master, but he still After flipping through the sign of Concubine Wan Gui, I don't know what kind of seductive tricks that enchantress used to attract the emperor to be so greedy."

"Can this kind of words be said at will?" The queen suppressed her expression and looked at Aunt Ouyang with some displeasure.

Seeing that the queen was angry, Aunt Ouyang quickly knelt down, "Your maidservant made a slip of her tongue, please forgive me, master."

"Get up." The queen sighed lightly, with a hint of sadness in her tone that is unique to a woman who has been out of favor all year round, "The emperor didn't bother to look at this face when I was young and beautiful, let alone how old she is now. The appearance of Zhuhuang, after so many years, the heart of looking forward to Jun's kindness has long since died, and I only hope that Jing'er can inherit the great rule as soon as possible, and this palace can also live a few days of comfortable life."

The empress has never been favored before, so although she is jealous of those concubines, she will not kill them, but intentionally or unintentionally stirs up conflicts between them and Concubine Xu. Why not take advantage of the fisherman's profit?
"Master, don't worry, no matter how much the emperor values ​​King Ling, he is just a general, how can he be compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Aunt Ouyang almost felt the loneliness and pain of the queen staying alone in the vacant room all these years, and naturally looked forward to her success that day.

"Ben Gong has been entangled with Mrs. Xu for many years, it's time to end it, Murong Li..." The queen didn't continue speaking, and only turned into a cold smile on her lips...

Qu Lingxu didn't know how the queen planned to use Princess Qingyu to plot against Concubine Xu. Meimei had a good night's sleep and had a hearty breakfast. Refreshing.

"Master, Mr. Fang sent a message early in the morning, saying that Marquis Huaiyang has woken up, and his pulse is stable now, so you don't have to worry." Seeing Qu Lingxu put down his chopsticks, Yun Yi replied.

Marquis of Huaiyang has practiced martial arts for many years, and his health is much better than that of ordinary people. It is reasonable to recover faster. Qu Lingxu took some tea and rinsed his mouth, nodded and said: "In this case, I will trouble Mr. Fang to take care of you. Some, tomorrow, I will go over to see Lord Hou for a follow-up consultation."

Well, she was supposed to go today, but she didn't want to see Leng Yuanxun at all, so she had to work hard for Fang Bo.

"Yes." Yun Yi handed the silk handkerchief to Qu Lingxu, and asked with a smile: "Master is dressed so refreshingly, shouldn't you plan to go out today?"

Qu Lingxu stood up and stretched, nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, after so many days of busy work, I should take care of myself..."

Qu Lingxu planned to take a good rest, but before she finished speaking, a familiar voice that was still childish floated into her ears through the courtyard, "Xuxu! Xuxu, are you there?"

Who else but Rong Sheng could break into Jianjia Courtyard in such a grand manner?

I haven't seen him for many days, Rong Sheng seems to have grown taller again, with a handsome little face full of heroism, because he ran so fast, he almost came with the sound of the wind, and he grabbed him before he could stand still. Qu Lingxu's wrist, hurriedly said: "Xuxu, let's go, you must win the round for me, I really can't swallow this breath!"

"Wait..." Seeing that Rong Sheng was about to drag her out, Qu Lingxu hurriedly grabbed her, frowned slightly, and said, "Speak clearly first, you are in such a hurry What are you going to do?"

To win the game, is it possible that this little guy lost the martial arts competition and asked her to help?That's really... I think highly of her.

"Oh, Xuxu, hurry up, I'll explain to you on the way." Rong Sheng was anxious as if his eyebrows were on fire, but when he turned around and saw Qu Lingxu looking at him leisurely, he knew that if he couldn't explain why, Qu Ling Xu would definitely not go out of this door, so he sighed heavily in distress, "These days, my grandmother keeps me in the mansion every day to study and practice martial arts. Grandma rarely allowed me to go out of the house for a day. Before going out, I made a contract with my grandmother. If I can get the top three in this competition, I can go out of the house to play around at will in the next month. Otherwise, the New Year I couldn't go anywhere before, but..." Rong Sheng pouted, and said aggrievedly: "I was rejected in the second round of the competition, and I didn't even make it to the finals. I need to let my grandmother know about it. The days before will be very miserable, Xuxu, you must help me, okay?"

"Biwen Conference?" Qu Lingxu had just arrived and didn't know that there was such an event in Beijing. He searched the original owner's limited memory in his mind, but couldn't retrieve any relevant information, so he frowned slightly and said: " Who organized this event, and if you win the first place, will there be any rewards?"

"Xuxu, how come you don't even know this?" Rong Sheng glanced at Qu Lingxu in surprise. Seeing that the other party was in a daze, he didn't mean to be joking with him, so he explained briefly: "Bihu, which is run by cousin Yuan Xun The academy has a great reputation, and many scholars come to study every year, while most of the literati and princes and nobles study in the Taixue, and the students from these two places inevitably look down on each other because of their different identities..."

"So the purpose of this contest is to gather students from these two academies together and judge them by their talents?" Before Rong Sheng could finish speaking, Qu Lingxu roughly understood.

Making friends with literature sounds like a good game, interesting.

Hearing Qu Lingxu's words, Rong Sheng nodded in affirmation, and then added: "Actually, it's not just the students of these two colleges. Participating in this event does not require any fees, and there is no identity restriction. As long as you think you have Talent, you can give it a try, if you get No.1, there will be a reward of 100 taels of gold."

Speaking of this, Rong Sheng's clear eyes shone with a strange brilliance.He was born in a family, so of course he wouldn't take 100 taels of gold seriously, but the honor of No.1 is too rare, and it would be very difficult to achieve it if it wasn't for someone with extraordinary intelligence.

"The organizer is quite generous." Seeing Rong Sheng's speech, Qu Lingxu made a cup of tea and handed it to the other party with some helplessness, and said with a light smile: "According to what you said, today's Longqingzhai must be a crowd. Xianbizhi, Shaochangxianji, where do you get the confidence to think that I can stand out?"

Qu Lingxuan is very old-fashioned, and she has memorized many poems and songs in her spare time. It's not impossible to compete with those scholars. She is just curious why Rong Sheng came to her for help.

On weekdays, she doesn't seem to have shown any "talent" related to poetry and books.
