Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 6

Chen Yuanxiang was naturally aware of the fact that Ruyi invited the imperial physician. In fact, after Ruyi fell, she sent someone to send him back.

After listening to the maid's report, Chen Yuanxiang picked up the teacup on the small table on the couch, took a sip, and then said: "Lan Zhen, take some medicinal materials from my library later. In addition, you can choose another The maid sent it."

As a concubine of the Eastern Palace, there can actually be as many as four maids around her, but one is also in line with the rules. Chen Yuanxiang is not too harsh a person. Seeing that Ruyi has already been favored and is sick, she doesn't care about sharing one more person. past.

"Yes, madam!"

After Lan Zhen, who was standing by the side, bowed and retreated after hearing her words and deeds, an old palace man next to Chen Yuanxiang asked cautiously: "Madam, will the Chen family send the medicine?"

The old palace lady was Chen Yuanxiang's nanny Liu Shi, who accompanied her since she was a child. After Chen Yuanxiang entered the palace, she also followed in and stayed by her side.

Chen Yuanxiang hesitated in her heart, and did not speak immediately. After her nanny took the cup, she sighed and said, "Don't send it away, there will probably be an imperial doctor coming to take the pulse in the next few days. What are the clues, it's not good!"

Although the medicine is hidden, she is not sure whether the imperial physician will find it out. More importantly, this Chen family is not in good health. If some obvious symptoms appear after taking the medicine, it will be even more unbeautiful.

"Besides, as far as Chen's body is concerned, even if she is pregnant, whether she can conceive is still a problem." Chen Yuanxiang didn't care too much about Ruyi in her heart. With such a humble background and such a body, she was favored. How big a storm can arise.

"Your Majesty is very true." The people of Liu Gong responded repeatedly after hearing the words, and then said a few more words, "My Majesty, in fact, so what if you let the concubines below conceive the prince's child, as long as it is born, it will be carried to you By my side, doesn't that also recognize you as my own mother?"

After all, Chen Yuanxiang was in the game, but Liu Gongren, an outsider, saw it much more clearly, so he couldn't help persuading him.

Chen Yuanxiang felt a little displeased when she heard the words. After all, she was a woman. Even if she understood this truth, she was always unwilling to watch her husband have children with other women.But Liu Gongren is her nanny, she has been close to her since she was a child, so she just replied calmly: "It's always better to be born by yourself."

"Your Majesty, don't blame the old slave for talking too much. I think the Empress Dowager is already dissatisfied with the prince's heirs. If things go on like this, she will be burdened instead. It's better to let those concubines who don't rely on the rules to conceive first, as long as they have the status Those women in this world are not pregnant before the empress, even if it is a boy, it will not affect the empress."

Chen Yuanxiang rubbed his forehead with one hand, and listened tiredly. At the end, he couldn't help but said: "Let's talk later, the imperial doctor also said that I just haven't arrived, wait another half a year!"

Although Chen Yuanxiang said to give another time limit, how could the people of Liu Gong not see what the master she raised had in mind, and didn't want to use the method of borrowing a belly to have a child at all, but even if she had a deep relationship with the princess, she would He's just a slave, and he's already getting better at this point, so it's hard to persuade him any more.

This matter still has to flow slowly.

Maybe it was because she said something that troubled Chen Yuanxiang during the day, so she didn't seem to be energetic all day long. It wasn't until the evening when the crown prince came over for dinner that she cheered up and waited carefully.

Until the crown prince finished his meal and changed to a teacup, she thought about it in her heart and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Sister Chen came here this morning to say hello. I don't look very well. I'm really sick when I go back. Do you want to go and see?" she."

The prince was playing with the wrench in his hand, he paused a little when he heard the words, but his face was not showing at all, after putting the wrench back on his thumb, he just said: "No need, I will ask Deng to give something first past."

"Then His Highness is going to that sister's place tonight?"

The Crown Princess was happy with the ruthlessness shown in the Crown Prince's words, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, she just asked kindly: "I have something to do today, so I will rest in the study, you don't need to make arrangements."

After the crown prince finished speaking, he stood up. Chen Yuanxiang saw that he was about to leave, and quickly stood up, still saying softly: "Then please don't take a rest too late, your highness must not be on business. Regardless of the body."

Chen Yuanxiang watched the prince leave, but he didn't have much feeling in his heart. Anyway, the prince was not interested in women, so he spent more than half of a month resting alone in the study.

For her as a princess, it is better for the prince to sleep in the study than to sleep with other women. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the prince always takes care of her face.

When the crown prince's reward was delivered, Ruyi was being served for dinner, and the new Qiangwei was also a regular, because she later stood behind Shaoyao to fight, and did not rush to show her face in front of Ruyi.

Ruyi has no impression of who is good and who is bad for the two people who came here. Anyway, they are just little maids with the same rank, so she treats them equally and rewards Qiangwei with five taels of silver as a meeting gift. Whoever gets more rewards depends entirely on their abilities.

As for the idea of ​​subduing both of them, as in Gongdou's novels, Ruyi has no such idea at all.She was also a palace lady, so she naturally knew what the palace lady thought.Based on her current status, it is a dream for these two people to be completely heartfelt to her. Let alone the princess, even other concubines with backgrounds want to harm her. Would a helpless master not want his own life to fulfill the so-called sincerity?
Moreover, as long as I don't play too hard, a person like her is just an insignificant ant in front of other little masters. Who would let himself have a handle in order to deal with an ant.

So Ruyi decided to enjoy the service of these two without any burden. As for who their real master is and what she thinks of her as a master in her heart, she doesn't care at all.

The two little maids, Ruyi, didn't care about their thoughts, but Ruyi, the Eunuch Deng sent by the crown prince to give the reward, didn't dare to care about it.This is the first and most trusted person around the prince, and even the princess does not dare to be too shameless.

Ruyi asked Shaoyao and Qiangwei to help her get dressed and get out of bed before she entered the house.

If the person didn't come at this moment, she almost forgot that after serving the bed, the prince would usually give some rewards. It may be because he has received too many rewards before. This princess gave it twice today. The other little masters And some concubines also sent things over.But they are all flashy jewelry, if Ruyi saw it, Shao Yao and the others put it away.

After sending Eunuch Deng away enthusiastically, Ruyi had the time to look at the crown prince's reward. I have to say that the prince's reward was really much more generous, and Ruyi was very pleased, it was all she needed very much.

Except for a set of jewelry and headgear, there is still some money, which is quite a lot, and most importantly, there is even a bottle of medicine. Ruyi blushes and puts away the bottle of medicine by herself, and Shao Yao and the others put away the rest.

This bottle of medicine is more important to Ruyi now than other things.When Shaoyao served her in the morning, because of time constraints, although she saw Ruyi had bruises on her body, she didn't see how serious it was, and it was hard for Ruyi to tell.Later, when the imperial doctor came to see her, she only prescribed some medicine for internal use. Of course, Ruyi was embarrassed to bring it up. She planned to accept her fate and slowly recuperate, and let it heal on its own. Who knew, the crown prince would actually send the medicine over.

However, for this matter, Ruyi was at most rejoicing and happy, thinking that the crown prince would give it to women after he was favored, but he had no other ideas.

After Deng Xian delivered the gift, he returned to the Prince's side. He had just rested for a while and drank a sip of tea from the young eunuch below. Then he listened to the Prince's call from inside. He quickly put down the tea, straightened his clothes, and then walked outside the Prince's study , with a sound, respectfully entered.

The prince's study can only be called an inner study. It is not big. In addition to the normal study configuration, there is also a couch. The prince likes to deal with some things here on weekdays, but rarely meets his ministers here.

When Deng Xian walked in, the prince was writing at the desk, he saluted respectfully, and after hearing the call, he stood up cautiously and glanced at the prince again.

He wondered what the prince would order when he called him in, but he heard the prince ask casually: "The things have been delivered?"

Deng Xian felt a "gudong" in his heart, but he immediately came back to his senses and replied respectfully: "The slave sent it to Mrs. Chen."

He suddenly felt uncertain about the Crown Prince's attitude. Although he felt that the reward was a bit generous when he sent the things over, and the Crown Prince personally ordered him to take it, it was not without precedent before, but this time the Crown Prince also personally intervened. , but it is the first time.

He couldn't help thinking about the prince's attitude towards Mrs. Chen, but he suddenly recalled the situation yesterday when Mrs. Chen was in bed. He was always by the prince's side, so he naturally knew how abnormal the prince was yesterday, but this Chen Although the wife is outstanding in appearance, she is not the most outstanding among the group of women in the prince's backyard. Logically, the prince should not be particularly concerned.

Even though he was thinking this way, Deng Xian still tended to his own feelings, so he thought carefully: "When the slave went to Mrs. Chen's place, Mrs. Chen looked much better, and even got out of bed to welcome His Highness's reward."

After saying this, there was no movement for a long time, and Deng Xian's beating heart gradually calmed down. He knew that his bet was right.

He quickly raised his head to look at the prince again, and saw that the prince was still writing with his head bowed, and he didn't complain, he just saluted silently, and then carefully exited the study.It wasn't until he got outside the door that he breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking back to his attitude when he gave the reward to Mrs. Chen just now, he couldn't help but congratulate himself for being respectful and polite.
