Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 278 Competing for Favor, Innocents Are Affected
Yingchu gave acupuncture to the Empress Dowager, while Emperor Ming sat aside and watched.

His gaze slowly slid from Yingchu's dexterous fingers to a crystal button on her cuff, and then moved along the lavender sleeve to her face.

Hua Yingchu's facial features are exquisite, but not absolutely beautiful. In and outside the palace, he can find many women who are better than her in color, but what they leave in his eyes are just superficial shadows, only flowers. Yingchu really entered his eyes.

It was disgusting at first, and it is probably still disgusting now. No matter how she looks at this woman, she is not pleasing to the eye. Sometimes he wants to just destroy it, but then he thinks that if she is really destroyed, it will lose a lot of fun.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how long it will take for my concubines." Yingchu was stared at by the Ming Emperor, his hair was on end. "The emperor's government affairs are important. Why don't you wait until the empress dowager wakes up, and then my concubines will send someone to invite the emperor over."

Emperor Ming's rare random thoughts were interrupted by Yingchu, who said with a bad expression, "Are you driving me away?"

Which woman in the harem doesn't expect him to stay for a while, but this woman actually wants to send him away!Sure enough, the more you look at her, the more unpleasant she becomes!
"The concubine dare not. The concubine is afraid of delaying the emperor's time. Since the emperor is not busy, please wait patiently for a while." After Yingchu finished speaking, she kept silent. She shouldn't have spoken just now, the emperor was willing to stare at her Just let him stare at her, she won't lose a piece of meat anyway.

Yingchu quickly ignored Emperor Ming's gaze and concentrated on giving acupuncture to the Empress Dowager.Every time she sees people, she doesn't completely rely on Lingquan, but also earnestly practices the medical skills she has learned.

She immersed herself in her own world, Emperor Ming slowly appraised her from head to toe with a cup of hot tea in his hand, and he didn't feel bored.

Chang Shun came in from the outside, seeing this scene, his heart skipped a beat.He walked over with light steps, as if he was afraid of disturbing Emperor Ming, and said in a very low voice: "Your Majesty, the empress is here."

Emperor Ming frowned slightly, put the teacup on the table, got up and walked to the outer hall.

The queen walked in the door with great poise, followed by a court lady carrying a food box.Just as she was about to salute, Emperor Ming raised his hand to avoid her salute.

"Your majesty, the concubine heard that the county lord came to treat the empress dowager. The empress dowager must wake up soon." The queen smiled softly, "The concubine then made some porridge with her own hands. The imperial doctor said, After the empress dowager wakes up, it's best to eat something light and delicious."

Emperor Ming said: "My concubine has a heart."

A simple sentence made the empress smile even deeper: "Your Majesty, my concubine has cooked a cup of red dates and pigeon soup. Your Majesty, shall I have a bowl?"

This is clearly aimed at the emperor, trying to curry favor with him.

Emperor Ming's mood faded: "No need, I'm not hungry."

A trace of disappointment flashed in the queen's eyes, and she found some other topics, her expressions were full of ardent love and expectation.

"Report to the emperor, concubine Liu, concubine Ling, and nobleman Qin are out to see you." Chang Shun came to report again.

The corners of Emperor Ming's eyes sank: "Let them in!"

Three beauties with their own characteristics had just stepped over the threshold when another concubine arrived outside.

"There's no need to notify, let them all come in!" Emperor Ming said.

Not long after, half of the concubines from the harem came, all concerned about the Empress Dowager's body, but kept their eyes on Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming raised his lips and said, "I am very pleased that you are so filial. It just so happens that there is a lack of maidservants in the Xihe Palace, and there is dust in the corners. Clean it up."

All the concubines were stunned for a moment.

"What? The concubines are not willing?" Emperor Ming said.

How dare they say no, they quickly squeezed out smiles and said yes.

"Empress, you look at them here, whoever doesn't clean up carefully is disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, and should be dealt with according to palace rules!" Emperor Ming said coldly.

"The concubine obeys the decree." The empress breathed a sigh of relief, her hands and feet were sweating from shock just now, if she cleans the palace like an empress, she will lose face in the future.

The faces of all the concubines turned pale, and they were extremely annoyed. They wanted to show off in front of the emperor, but they didn't expect that instead of flattering them, they angered the emperor.The emperor asked the queen to monitor, but they were not allowed to order the servants, and they had to clean up by themselves.Don't even think about it, soon they will become the laughing stock of the harem!

"Putting out the imperial study room!" Emperor Ming glanced at the inner hall, and he really fulfilled Hua Yingchu's wish, he had no choice but to leave Xihe Palace first.

After leaving the gate, Emperor Ming saw several concubines approaching not far away, and snorted coldly: "It's all a bunch of bastards!"

Those concubines came close and were about to salute when Emperor Ming walked over directly.

Chang Shun cautiously persuaded: "Your Majesty, all the empresses and young masters may not have ulterior motives. Many people are very filial to the Empress Dowager. In the past two days, all the empresses and young masters have gone to Xihe Palace more than once. Later, the imperial doctor said that the Empress Dowager needed to rest and should not be disturbed, so they did not continue to come."

"You don't need to say these are nice, I know very well how filial they are." Emperor Ming said.That's why he didn't bother to draft again, but the dozens of women in the palace were enough to bother him.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, what's the use of it, other than competing for favor, how many of them are smart and not obsessive like Hua Yingchu.

Walking to the place where the original red plum tree was, the red plum tree has been cut down, and even the roots have been dug away, leaving only a refurbished piece of soil in place.

Emperor Ming suddenly remembered that day in Duke Qi's mansion, when the spring rain in February wet his clothes, and the apricot blossoms were flying all over the sky like snow. His heart moved, and he said, "Order people to clear this place and plant a row of apricot trees."

Chang Shun said: "Your Majesty, the apricot tree will only bloom in February, so it's a bit early for transplanting now."

"It's okay, let's plant it here first." Emperor Ming said.

But now it's freezing cold, I'm afraid they won't survive if they are transplanted.Chang Shun thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud.The emperor wanted to transplant the apricot tree, even if he tried his best, he would succeed in transplanting the apricot tree.

Women are just playthings in Emperor Ming's mind, he didn't notice that he was paying more and more attention to a certain plaything.

Walking to the fork ahead, Emperor Ming suddenly changed direction: "Go to Xingchen Palace."

When they arrived at Xingchen Palace, Emperor Ming didn't ask Chang Shun to inform him, wanting to see what Concubine Zhen would do in the palace when she was alone.

The palace servants in the courtyard hurriedly saluted Emperor Ming when they saw Emperor Ming, and Emperor Ming asked, "Where is Concubine Zhen?"

"The empress is in the small kitchen." The servant girl replied.

Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows. Concubine Zhen is a tiger girl in the general family. She is good at dancing knives and swords.

Emperor Ming walked outside the small kitchen, and heard the voice of Concubine Zhen inside, saying: "Two tangerine peels, 2 fennel, 1 pepper, 1 ginger... Oh, all the peppers that were agreed are spilled!"

"If you spill it, you don't want it," another female voice said, "Your Majesty, let's weigh it again."

Emperor Ming stood at the door and took a look. Concubine Zhen was busy weighing the seasonings according to the female doctor's instructions. A pot of broth in the stove had already boiled, and there was a tempting aroma wafting from it.

"Your Majesty!" A young palace maid who was helping her accidentally saw Emperor Ming, and was so frightened that she dropped the tongs in her hand.

Xun Feixing looked up and saw Emperor Ming outside the door, he was both surprised and delighted, he quickly patted his sleeves and walked out: "The concubine sees the emperor!"

"Excuse me," Emperor Ming stretched out a hand to support her, "Why did you cook suddenly? I remember you said that you never go near the kitchen."

Xun Feixing smiled embarrassingly: "The concubine has nothing to do, so I asked female doctor Yin to come and teach me how to make medicinal food. The empress dowager is unconscious, and probably only Yingchu can save her. The concubine can't help much, so I just want to learn a few things." Medicinal food, to nourish the body of the Empress Dowager. And the Empress Dowager, her hands and feet feel cold in winter. I heard that it will snow tomorrow. The mutton soup that I learned to make today is to warm up the Empress Dowager in advance. "

Emperor Ming's eyes became slightly gentle, and all the other concubines ran to Xihe Palace. Only Concubine Zhen was doing what she should do, and this was the real filial piety.

Emperor Ming raised a strand of black hair from Xun Feixing's cheek, and said, "I've been busy with government affairs these days, so I've neglected you."

Xun Feixing's eyes turned red immediately, and she said in a trembling voice: "The emperor..." She has been in the palace for half a year, and the number of times she has seen the emperor can be counted on the fingers, and the sadness and grievance in her heart disappeared immediately after hearing what the emperor said. .

An hour later, after punishing many concubines in Xihe Palace, Emperor Ming immediately went to Xingchen Palace and stayed overnight with Concubine Zhen, and the news quickly spread throughout the harem.

Concubine Dong's pure baby face was full of anger, and she said to the eunuch below: "Are you sure the emperor stayed overnight with Concubine Zhen?!"

It's broad daylight!The emperor didn't go to the harem very often, he often corrected the memorials in the imperial study at night, how could he disregard the etiquette and dote on the concubine during the day!What's more, the empress dowager is ill now!
The eunuch said: "The informant arranged in Xingchen Palace reported that the Emperor and Concubine Zhen have been in the bedroom for half an hour, I am afraid there will be no fakes."

Concubine Dong slapped the table angrily.

Concubine Lou, who was sitting under her hands, was also jealous, and said: "Even if the emperor dotes on her, so what, when she entered the palace in such a beautiful way, the emperor was not a freshman for three days, so he seldom went to the Star Palace. Today she must have used some kind of coquettish means to keep the emperor, and the concubines don't believe that she can be proud for a few days!"

"Idiot! What do you know!" Imperial Concubine Dong scolded, "If it's normal, it's fine. The Empress Dowager is still in a coma, and those who go to show courteousness are cleaning in Xihe Palace. The emperor is in a bad mood. Concubine Zhen can now To be favored, she must have won the emperor's favor somewhere, and her position in the emperor's heart is bound to rise to a higher level in the future!"

The eunuch said: "When the emperor went up, Concubine Zhen was making a medicinal meal."

"I thought that woman was a straight-hearted idiot, but I didn't expect that she had some scheming!" Concubine Dong Huanggui said coldly.

Concubine Lou didn't dare to be dissatisfied when she was scolded, so she said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what shall we do?"

"What can I do, wait!" Concubine Dong Huanggui's eyes flickered fiercely, "When the emperor is in a good mood these few days, I will let that foxy son know how powerful I am!"

Concubine Lou thought for a while, and said: "Why did the emperor go to the Star Palace suddenly? The emperor has been with Hua Yingchu before, empress, do you think Hua Yingchu said something to the emperor?"

"That bitch and Concubine Zhen have always been on good terms, and it's perfectly normal to say something nice about Concubine Zhen to the Emperor." Concubine Dong paused at this point, and then became even angrier, "No wonder the Emperor came across Concubine Zhen doing something Concubine Zhen doesn't have that kind of brain for medicinal food, it must be Hua Yingchu's idea for her to create this opportunity for her!"

"Your Majesty is right, it must be so!" Concubine Lou also felt it was reasonable, and she said unhappily, "That Hua Ying stretched her hands too long, not only to bewitch the Empress Dowager, she even dared to take care of the concubine's affairs! "

"Hua Yingchu!" Imperial Concubine Dong gritted her teeth, "Sooner or later, this Palace will tear your corpse into thousands of pieces!"
