Flourishing age's Medical concubine

Back hall of Queen's Palace

The queen leaned lazily on the soft couch, and one hand gently pressed the slightly painful forehead. Zhu Chuyu stood aside, half drooping his eyes respectfully, and did not dare to make any rash move. After a long time, I heard the queen say, "I heard that... Wei'er is not in good health these days. Why don't you ask the royal doctor or go into the palace?"

Zhu Chuyu hurriedly said, "let empress mother worry. Prince is in excellent health and has no discomfort."

The queen sneered and said, "do you think the palace and your majesty are blind, or do you think others can't see when you cover your eyes? What did those side concubines in your house send to the palace a few days ago? There are rumors these days... You all have your own ideas and will decide. The palace and your majesty can't control you!"

Zhu Chuyu trembled in his heart and hurriedly knelt on the ground, saying that his ministers dared not.

Let her have thousands of measurements and talents. She can only bow down to be a minister in front of her absolute power status. Even a few more excuses are wrong. Touching the ground with his forehead, Zhu Chuyu's eyes were full of emotion. Right... Right, that's why people in this world would rather break their families than fight for power and profit.

"Forget it, get up. Don't look back and let Wei'er feel that the palace blames you." the queen was a little depressed.

"I dare not thank my mother." Zhu Chuyu hurriedly looked up at the queen. The queen closed her eyes slightly and looked tired. Just listen to the Queen: "When our palace was pointed out to your majesty by the late emperor, I was still young. I was very upset when I married the royal family as a princess and had to go all the way to Youzhou. My mother warned me that a wife should abide by her duties, but not too blindly follow her husband. I should take care of my house. I should not exceed my duties at will, but also see my weight. I should not meddle in foreign affairs at will. I taught my son carefully Female, although we don't require equal treatment for common sons and women, we shouldn't be harsh. These years... Our palace has done well in asking ourselves, so your majesty also respects our palace very much. Only... Qianchi and their three brothers, our palace failed to teach well... "

"Empress mother..." Zhu Chuyu hesitated and didn't quite understand what the queen meant when she said this to herself. At the same time, she also didn't agree with what the queen said. Only those ignorant housewives would devote themselves to the one-third of an acre of land in the backyard. As for the sons and daughters of concubines, how many women would be kind to them?

The queen suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her indifferently, "do you think what the Palace said is wrong?"

"I dare not."

The queen ignored her, but continued: "this palace knows what you think. You are thinking that flawless is completely different from this palace, but you are more comfortable than this palace, aren't you?"

Zhu Chuyu didn't dare to speak. The queen said, "you can't learn flawless skills, and no woman in the world can learn them. She has the ability to help her husband. In addition... Flawless never instigated her husband to do anything he shouldn't do. Whether right or not, everything the king of Chu did was decided by himself." This is where the queen is disappointed with Xiao Qianwei. How can a person who can be easily influenced by women achieve great things? Nangong Mo can influence Wei Junmo, but he won't do it. Zhu Chuyu clearly can't completely change Xiao Qianwei, but he has to jump up and down. This is where the queen is disappointed with Zhu Chuyu.

With these words, the queen was more tired and said: "In Jinling Imperial City, there are more intelligent women than you think. They are unknown because they know their position. They may not be able to call the wind and rain and go in and out like clouds. But they can get the respect of their husbands, the love of their children, and have no worries all their life. People want too much and end up with nothing."

Zhu Chuyu bowed her head and listened respectfully to the Queen's teachings. Only she knew how much she had heard.

The queen said, "I haven't spoken to you much these years. Remember these words. If you can understand, you can understand. If you don't understand. Go, I'm a little tired."

"Yes, my son's minister is leaving." Zhu Chuyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted and left.

The Queen's voice came faintly behind him, "as a princess, you should pay attention to the rumors outside. You should have a child in your family."

Hearing the speech, Zhu Chuyu trembled in his heart, "yes, empress mother."

After leaving the palace, Zhu Chuyu secretly vomited a foul breath. The haze rolled in her drooping eyes and she despised the Queen's words. Why should she be trampled under her feet? What's the matter with the queen if she wants to be a virtuous wife? Even if she has been virtuous all her life? In the end, in the eyes of the emperor, her three sons tied together can't compare A son of Yuan Hou!

In the back hall, a maid of honor gently came forward and rubbed her forehead for the queen. She whispered, "madam, why do you say this to Princess Zheng? The princess is only afraid..."

The queen snorted softly, "the palace knows what she is thinking. She feels that the palace and her majesty have been suppressing her. Why doesn't she think about it? Why doesn't the palace suppress Yan'er and flawless."

The palace maid sighed lightly. After all, Princess Zheng is too selfish. No mother would like her daughter-in-law who is too selfish. Unfortunately, Princess Zheng can't understand anyway. The reason why she doesn't like her is that she puts her selfish thoughts above her husband's interests. If she is wholehearted to King Zheng, even if her mother and her majesty don't like her at first, she will change later What my mother said is true. No one in the world is a fool. Princess Zheng's fault is that she treats others as fools.

"Your Highness King Zheng..."

The queen sighed, "chi'er was the biggest headache in the palace in those days. Now she knows that it was the palace's fault." she was worried that her son couldn't support King Yan's house. Why would she think of now?

"Don't think too much, your highness King Zheng is naturally filial to your mother."

The queen sneered, "he is angry with the palace. Do you think he is for Zhu Chuyu?"

The palace maid didn't understand. Didn't the empress get angry because Princess Zheng and his Highness Prince Zheng a few days ago? In a rage, his highness King Zheng even said that Princess Chu was the mother's own daughter-in-law. Fortunately, those present at that time were all the confidants of the empress, so they didn't reach your Majesty's ears. Otherwise, he will be disrespectful to his mother. I'm afraid his highness King Zheng will have another meal of spare ribs.

The queen said: "Among their brothers, the youngest five can't see it. The four big brothers say that the king of Chu is the most ruthless, but it seems to me that the most ruthless is Wei'er. At the beginning, chi'er had to plead for her like Chen. That's really a couple's relationship for several years. But Qian Wei... He just doesn't resent that we are biased. If anything happens, he will be the first to abandon Zhu Chuyu It must be not the palace and his majesty, but himself. "At this point, the queen couldn't help smiling bitterly," how can the palace teach such a son? " The queen doesn't understand what's wrong with her upbringing. Intelligence is natural and can't be forced, but Qian Chi and Qian Jiong at least have good temperament. Xiao Qianwei's temperament is really a natural Royal character, but it's a pity... He's not smart enough. He can't understand the emperor's heart, but she can see it. If she doesn't stop it, will she let him die himself?

The palace maid dared not say any more, so she had to lower her head and gently massage her temples for the queen, so that she could be more comfortable.

"It's better not to come back in Youzhou than to live... These days." the Queen's voice sounded gloomily in the silent palace.

In the evening, the Taichu emperor held a banquet in the palace for the warra emissary... Now it is necessary to explain that the king of Dejun received the wind. The South Vietnamese emissary and the Anji emissary who arrived first also attended as nonvoting delegates. At the same time, the king of Qi who has not left Jinling and the king of Ning who has returned after leaving. The news of warra's return to the great Xia has spread all over Jinling during the day. The South Vietnamese and Anji emissary looked at the warra emissary There are also some changes in their looks. After being attached, warra and Daxia are much closer than them, even if they are not their own people. The king of Mingde County doesn't think so. Warra has no borders or contacts with these two countries, so there's no need to pay attention to their attitude. What he needs to pay attention to now is when the court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Taichu emperor plan to send troops, and he doesn't know How much benefit you can get from it.

Everyone knows what South Vietnam thinks. As for Anji's sense of existence, it's a little weak. Both the Taichu emperor and the dignitaries in the court are willing to ignore this small country together. It's really a wonderful country. Other small border countries belong to the Central Plains when it is strong and deviate when it is weak. This is human nature, and there's nothing to say. But Anji thinks of it from time to time I will fight with you when I come here. If I can't win, I will become a minister. I will fight again after thinking about it for a while. No matter what the Central Plains Dynasty does, it will still fight with you. Even when Beiyuan moved into the central plains that year, it helped Beiyuan people stab the former dynasty. When Beiyuan failed, it immediately turned to Daxia. It's just because Anji is located in a remote place and terrain It's dangerous and very poor. All the dynasties in the Central Plains had little interest in wantonly launching troops to fight such a small country, which made him toss about for so many years. After all, such a place with strong folk customs, rebellious and poor can only drag himself down. Maybe the people in the central Plains have to fight for rebellion and disaster relief, and there are many local people in the Central Plains who don't have enough to eat.

The Taichu emperor and the former Emperor have the same ideas. They are not interested in Anji. If the country is strong, maybe they can beat him first, but now Daxia still has to work hard and the edge is not clear, so Anji can stay quietly.

Daxia didn't care. King Anji was much more enthusiastic. Did you send someone to pay tribute to Jinling? Unfortunately, the former Emperor was a cheapskate, and the Taichu emperor wasn't very generous. Xiao Qianye, who was a little more generous, went down without being in office for a few years. Every time Anji envoys brought a pile of local specialties, they only received another pile of local specialties back, which was very sad.

Three countries and three princesses have different customs.

Princess Lingxiang of Nanyue is charming and bright, and princess Wara Dongzhu is frank and generous, while Princess an Shu of Anji is very respectful and polite, with a bit of the style of a girl from Jinling family.

Nangong Mo felt that he knew why the envoys of the three countries had to arrive at Jinling ahead of time. Let alone inquire about the news, marriage... It's important to cultivate feelings first and choose a candidate? Seeing that King Ning opposite was winking at himself, Nangong Mo smiled faintly, glanced at the princesses opposite and said: compared with the side concubines of Wei Junmo, The princess should be more interested in the position of Prince Zhengfei, right?

Seeing Nangong Mo's expression, his royal highness Ning immediately wilted. He glanced at the three princesses. Well, they all look very good, especially the princess Lingxiang, who can almost compare with the charming flowers in his garden. Unfortunately, it's not a good role at first sight. His royal highness Ning said that he was not interested in Nangong Mo's type or more fierce than her.

"Seventeen younger brother, what are you doing?" the Taichu emperor asked with some laughter when he saw King Ning's expression in the hall.

King Ning spread his hand and said with a smile, "no, my younger brother is just a little surprised. All envoys feel Jinling so early. They are really respectful to the imperial brother."

Taichu emperor glanced at him obliquely: what do they want to do? You don't know?

Ning Wang shrugged and said nothing with a smile.

But the queen smiled and said, "speaking of it, the seventeen younger brother is not young, and everyone in the house is in charge. After all, it's not a matter." hearing the speech, his highness King Ning suddenly felt a chill on his head, isn't it... Has Nangong Mo's Curse come true? No... brother Huang can't let him marry a foreign princess.

"Ha ha, I haven't met the right one." Ning Wang smiled.

Taichu emperor nodded and agreed with the queen very much. "The queen said well. Don't be busy this time. Let's finish the marriage first."

His highness Ning coughed a few times and complained, "brother Huang, isn't this a welcome for the king of Mingde county? How can I talk about my brother's marriage."

The king of Qi turned his head and looked at him in surprise. "Isn't the 17th brother shy?"

“…。”

The kings and ministers here spoke happily, but the three envoys and princesses at the bottom were unable to calm down. Thinking in his heart, does the emperor really intend to choose one of the three princesses to be king Ning's imperial concubine?

Princess Lingxiang frowned slightly. King Ning is not her good choice.

Princess Dongzhu didn't think at all and still ate and drank happily.

Princess an Shu sat respectfully with a dignified and virtuous appearance.

The prince of Nanyue looked at King Ning and turned to his sister. He didn't speak. The king of Mingde County frowned slightly. Now they need the trust of the emperor of Xia. If they really marry King Ning, the emperor of Xia should guard against them. However, he felt that his Majesty the great Xia emperor should not make such a decision, so he didn't speak. The prince of Anji was happy, but hesitated. It's better to marry King Ning as a positive imperial concubine than a side imperial concubine. But compared with the status, a vassal and a prince are not enough. The Taichu emperor is still young. Their best plan is to send the princess to the Taichu emperor's palace. It's best to have several princes.

Therefore, the party had their own thoughts, but no one said it. They continued to receive the wind and feast happily.
