I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 34 The Crown Princess

"My aunt won the award. I just hit it by mistake." Qu Lingxu lowered her head embarrassedly, but she knew in her heart that as long as the gauze from the Queen Mother's eyes was removed three days later, her reputation as a miracle doctor would spread throughout the world. In the streets and alleys of the capital, everyone knows everyone!
The queen mother woke up in the afternoon, and when she heard that the operation was successful, she felt much better. At this time, everyone in Shoukang Palace was full of expectations for the result, wishing that three days would fly by.

The waiting time was long and torturous, but fortunately it lived up to expectations. The operation was very successful, and the Queen Mother's eyesight completely returned to normal.These years, the Empress Dowager has been deeply troubled by eye diseases, and she hardly dared to expect to be able to see things clearly, and she shed tears in a moment of excitement.

Seeing this, Qu Lingxu quickly knelt down and said sincerely: "Your empress dowager, your eyes have just healed, so you can't cry."

The Empress Dowager was very grateful to Qu Lingxu in the first place, but now she saw that Qu Lingxu was beautiful and beautiful, she couldn't help being even more delighted, she helped her up herself, and said with a smile: "Good boy, get up quickly."

"Queen, Princess Xinyue has made such a great contribution, you should reward her well." The queen said in a timely manner.

Qu Lingxu is the daughter-in-law of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and her grandfather is a highly respected emperor's teacher. Needless to say, she has a noble status. After several tacit cooperations, the more the queen thinks, the more she feels that she is the most suitable candidate for the crown princess. In the name of peace, Prince Murong Jing was also brought to Shoukang Palace.Murong Jing is about twenty years old, and his slender figure is more and more tall and straight under the bright yellow brocade robe. Even standing there quietly, there is always a three-point smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes people feel close, but There is a hint of shrewdness in his brows, which shows that he is not as unsophisticated as he looks on the outside.

The Empress Dowager was in high spirits, so naturally everything was pleasing to her ears, she immediately nodded and said: "Girl, if you want anything, as long as the Ai family can afford it, you can just ask, even if you want to be a princess."

Hearing this, the empress exchanged glances with Murong Jing cryptically, it seems that the princess was really chosen correctly.

The royal family has always been strictly hierarchical, and Qu Lingxu's title of princess is an exception, let alone a princess who is in the first rank. The Queen Mother can make such a promise, which shows how much she loves Qu Lingxu.

After that, the Empress Dowager rewarded all the eunuchs in the Shoukang Palace. While everyone was excited, they were naturally grateful to Qu Lingxu.

Here, after Qu Lingxu heard this, he knelt down again and said: "The status of a minister is humble, and she is already grateful for being promoted by the emperor and the empress dowager to be the princess. If you want any reward, please ask the Empress Dowager to fulfill it."

The status of the princess is good, but she is fledgling now, and she doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for a vain position.

"Princess Xinyue County is virtuous and virtuous, and should be a model for the boudoir." The queen smiled and said to the queen mother: "Mother, Princess Xinyue does not want a reward, but my son wants to ask you for a reward. I wonder if you agree?"

The queen mother is not a fool, she glanced at Murong Jing, and said with a smile: "Let the Ai family guess, but the queen wants to choose a princess for Jing'er?"

"I really can't hide anything from my mother." The queen smiled slightly, without the slightest embarrassment of being seen through by others, and just continued: "Jing'er was a weak crown year last year, and the concubine has not found a suitable candidate. It was only then that the marriage was postponed. These days, the concubine sees that Princess Xinyue advances and retreats politely, is smart and decent, and is very suitable for Jing'er. This is why I mentioned it on the mother's big day. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a double happiness? "This little princess obviously has the empress dowager's eye, and it will definitely be a big help if she can become the crown princess.

Qu Lingxu had been concentrating on researching the operation these days, but he never thought that the Queen would hit him with wishful thinking, and his eyes turned cold involuntarily.

What a joke, she doesn't plan to get married at all!

It's not that Qu Lingxu has a withdrawn personality, it's just that she has a mental cleanliness obsession and has high demands on her partner. In her previous life, she never had a boyfriend because she was obsessed with finding a man like Mr. Qian Zhongshu. , there are many aristocratic children around her, but in feudal society polygamy, thinking of performing boring scheming with countless women, she feels disgusted, she might as well travel around alone and go freely.

This time... I'm afraid the trouble is not small.

The thoughts in Qu Lingxu's mind hadn't finished yet, when the Queen Mother's voice came to her ears, "Jing'er is the precious grandson of the Ai family, and she is quite suitable for this girl, but... the girl is not as good as Ji, right?"

The original owner had been treated harshly by the Xu family for many years, and was somewhat malnourished. Although she was also 15 years old, she was a little shriveled than Qu Fengyan, who was half a year younger than her. No wonder the queen mother had this misunderstanding.

The Queen Mother's words brought Qu Lingxu back to his senses, he straightened out his thoughts, and quickly said: "Returning to the Empress Dowager's words, the minister's daughter was ready for the splendens two months ago, it's just that the father was busy with business and did not give the daughter the splendens ceremony. "

As soon as this remark came out, the complexions of several people in the hall changed to varying degrees. The daughter of the dignified general's mansion did not even have a serious ceremony, except for Qu Liancheng's favorite concubine to destroy her daughter, there is no second possibility!

"Girl, you have suffered." The Empress Dowager pulled Qu Lingxu up pitifully, and said in a condensed voice: "Yun Qing, pass on the decree of the mourning family. Seven days later, the mourning family will host a splendens ceremony for Xinyue County in Shoukang Palace. The family members of ministers of the third rank and above must participate."

Just because Qu Lingxu cured the queen mother's eyes, the queen mother might not give her such an honor, but after getting along with her these days, the queen mother felt more and more that this little girl was very similar to herself when she was young, so she fell in love with her.

As soon as this remark came out, Qu Lingxu was completely stunned. Wow, what she said was just to pave the way for rejecting the position of crown princess. Would the queen mother be so domineering? There are almost no people I know. As the saying goes, open up your popularity and go out to avoid being bullied. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"My daughter, thank you for your kindness!" The queen mother ate more salt than she ate, so Qu Lingxu simply agreed to accept the nonsense.

After checking the topic in this way, the empress also understood that the empress dowager wanted to think about it again, so she tactfully didn't ask any more questions, and left with Murong Jing after sitting for a while.

After they left, the Empress Dowager called Qu Lingxu to come closer, and said with a smile, "Girl, the crown prince is the heir apparent, and the crown prince is the future queen. Why don't you want to do it?"

Seeing the queen mother being so straight to the point, Qu Lingxu couldn't help laughing, "Nothing can be hidden from the empress dowager's eyes, my daughter..." After sighing heavily, Qu Lingxu continued: "My daughter's mother is not allowed by my father. Love, although she has the status of a regular wife, her life is like walking on thin ice. Although the second concubine is in charge of the power in the mansion, she has never been able to get the status of a regular wife, so she resents the courtier's daughter. The courtier's daughter does not want to live like this. So I don't want to marry."

When it comes to fighting for favor, no one will be her opponent, but she disdains to play that kind of stupid thing in front of her.

The woman who can have the last laugh in the palace, who didn't climb up by stepping on countless beauties and white bones, what Qu Lingxu said, just hit the empress dowager's mind, the empress dowager's eyes blurred for a moment, as if thinking of the past that had been dusty for many years , After a long time, he said calmly: "But women are going to marry after all."

"My daughter does not need to rely on a man to survive." Saying so, Qu Lingxu knelt down and said solemnly: "Empress Dowager, my daughter asks that I can always stay by your side and serve you."

Now that she is no longer unknown, she is afraid that she has been targeted by many nobles. She doesn't want to be distracted from dealing with so many duplicity people, so she might as well hold on to the big tree of the Queen Mother.

Although the Empress Dowager's eye disease is cured, but as people get older, it is inevitable that they will suffer from illnesses. They really need someone with superb medical skills to serve them, and Qu Lingxu is undoubtedly the most suitable one, so she agreed.

On that day, the emperor learned that the Queen Mother's eyesight had recovered, and Longyan was very happy, and rewarded Qu Lingxu with many things. Qu Lingxu returned to the general's mansion with a carriage full of spoils.

Qu Lingxu is now the lord of the princess, and his status in the general's mansion is second only to Qu Liancheng, so the family members of the mansion have been waiting outside the door, seeing Qu Lingxu coming down from the sedan chair, Chen quickly greeted him with a smile on his face Said: "Xu'er, you're back."

Qu Lingxu looked at Mrs. Chen with a smile, and said with a smile: "My daughter greets my mother. I haven't seen you for a few days. My mother's complexion is much better than before."

Ever since Qu Lingxu seized the power to head the family, naturally no one dared to despise Chen's share. In addition, Chen's understanding of the situation after the plague has changed a lot compared to before. The aura looks much better, and she has the aura of being a housewife.

As for Mrs. Xu, she had already learned about Qu Lingxu's stay in the palace through Concubine Xu, and she gritted her silver teeth with hatred, but even so, she could only smile and say, "The concubine is for the eldest lady." Please."

"It turned out to be Second Aunt. Now that she can walk, she seems to be recovering from her injuries." Qu Lingxu didn't make things difficult for Xu Shi, and just smiled lightly.

These words made others sound concerned, but Xu didn't know that Qu Lingxu was mocking her, so he finally resisted the urge to curse, and said with a stiff expression: "Miss Lao is concerned, everything is fine."

She couldn't figure it out, it's only been a few days, how could this cheap girl act like a different person, calmly making herself so miserable!

Naturally, Qu Lingxu didn't know Xu's thoughts, or even if he knew, he didn't care, so he just said calmly: "My aunt is fine, so don't worry, Miss Ben, but... don't forget the pain when the scar is healed."

Based on her understanding of Xu, the other party will definitely not let it go after suffering so much, and will definitely find ways to get back. Now this sentence is considered a beating, if the other party is sensible, that's all, otherwise she doesn't mind taking care of her in her busy schedule !

I don't know if it was Qu Lingxu's beating that made a difference, or Xu's knowing the difficulties and retreating. For the next few days, the general's mansion remained calm and peaceful, which made people a little unaccustomed to it.
