Queen Of Medicine

The Empress Dowager said to them with a smile, "I've been talking and laughing for a long time. Unconsciously, I almost passed the dinner time. Do you two go back to eat by yourself or do you eat here? " Since mother Su came in this afternoon and talked to her about Zhuo Xi's words about rubbing rice, she kept laughing. She liked the word "rubbing rice" very much, with some intimacy and some coquettish taste.

Jing Yuan and Zhuo Xi looked at each other and said in one voice, "rub rice!"

The crowd laughed again.

Mother Su was in a good mood and arranged meals in the small flower hall next to her. Several people quietly finished eating. The Empress Dowager put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "which bedroom do you want to live in?"

Jing Yuan looked at Zhuo Xi's vacant face and said, "Xi'er just came. Everything is unfamiliar. Moreover, the new dormitory needs to be repaired. These days I will live in Ziyang hall first, and the others will wait until Xi'er is satisfied. "

The Empress Dowager nodded, "Xi girl will be the Lord of the harem in the future. The bedroom hall will naturally be renovated. Ziyang hall is also a good place to live. It's closer to AI's house. So, girl Xi, go back to Ziyang hall to clean up. I don't know if some clothes, shoes and socks prepared by the mourning family this afternoon are suitable for you. You have to cheer up to take care of everything else. The mourning family can't control the Ziyang hall. "

Zhuo Xi knew that their mother and son must have something to say in private. She dared not joke any more. She saluted respectfully and thanked her kindness before coming out.

After she came out, she regretted that she didn't know the way. It seemed that she didn't say to leave a maid eunuch for her. After walking out of the inner hall, I found five rivers waiting on one side.

The five rivers politely walked forward and said, "the king asked the slave to wait here. He said that if the empress came out, he would let the slave take you to Ziyang palace."

Zhuo Xi took a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled, straightened her chest and clamped her back, and went out.

In the inner hall, the Empress Dowager returned to the main seat. Jing Yuan took the freshly brewed tea from Mammy Su and handed it to the Empress Dowager. He smiled and said, "the tea soup looks so refreshing, and the ministers have a good appetite."

The Empress Dowager looked at the medlar chrysanthemum tea prepared by Xi girl for her. It was a little red next to the golden chrysanthemum, which was very pleasant. Her cold face was also a little loose. "It's no use talking well for your daughter-in-law. This tea is specially for old women like AI family. You don't have to eat it."

Jing Yuan said with a smile, "how can a son covet Xi'er's filial piety to his mother? The son and daughter-in-law sing harmoniously. Shouldn't the mother be happy? "

The Empress Dowager sighed, "but the inheritance of Wang Si is very important. How can it be a child's play?"

Jing Yuan said, "empress mother, since ancient times, there has been no family in the emperor's home. The courtiers were lucky to come out of the bodies of their brothers and nephews. They don't want to see their sons fighting against each other and killing each other in the future. The royal family's blood depends on the essence rather than much. If the legitimate and common people are different and lose their upbringing, even if there are more children, it will only add a few more green tombs to the king's mausoleum in the end. But if there is no legitimate concubine in the harem, and the children are all compatriots of the same mother, how can they fight bravely and fiercely, compete for power and seize power? You don't want to see the sons and grandchildren of the Jing family smash their heads and blood for the sake of power? " Prince Yu is a living example.

The Empress Dowager thought of Jing Leng's two sons, so lovely children, if they kill each other... She didn't dare to think about it, and her face relaxed. "According to the old practice, a small election is held every year, and a grand palace election is held every three years, not only for the offspring of the royal family, but also to balance the power of the previous dynasty. How can we ignore the ancestral family law? "

Jing Yuan said, "if the forces of the previous dynasty depended on the harem to balance, the ministers there would also be very incompetent! Is there any minister who begged you so quickly? "

"No! AI family is just worried that if only one person in the harem is big, there will be no trouble! " The Empress Dowager was frightened and instinctively denied that some balance was indeed needed in the harem.

Jing Yuan's eyes deepened, "if Xi'er doesn't understand anything, it's just for her mother to teach her. Does the queen mother have no confidence in herself or in Xi'er's character? "

The Empress Dowager's anger surged up. "Ai family knows that you have deep feelings, so they don't want to stop Feng Xi as the empress. But no man is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days. If you make such a commitment, your husband and wife will be weak and tired in the future, what can you do? "

Jing Yuan's face became softer. "Young women are easy to grow old and bosom friends are easy to die. These sons all know. My son just wants to have a try. What kind of ending will a pair go out in his life. Mother, just let go of these things. Let the son taste it himself. Maybe we will regret it in the future, but maybe we will always help each other. Whether you are in the house of the emperor or the house of the people, don't you just want a house to be peaceful and comfortable? "

"If you are more ambitious, you can have more legitimate sons. If only..."

Jing Yuan said with a smile, "no, Xi'er knows medicine himself. This is not a problem."

The Empress Dowager said helplessly, "you've had ideas since you were a child. It's no use saying anything that doesn't agree with you. Since you have made up your mind, the mourning family will not advise you. "

Jing Yuan Yiyi to the end, "son thanks his mother."

The Empress Dowager looked more relaxed, "you can speak. If your son is half filial... "She thought of her own son again and felt sad.

Jing Yuan knelt down again and kowtowed to the ground, "mother, it's my son's unfilial. I had been thinking about how to escape from this cannibal deep palace, but I forgot the pain my mother had just experienced. The son has thought clearly these days. Since this is the last life of his father, the son should bear it and don't let it hurt at all. Now everything is over. With the mother in charge, the son and daughter-in-law will make more efforts to have more grandchildren. The granddaughter will be happy and filial to your old man. Mother must not be too sad. " It's better to explain the reason for leaving the palace, so as not to blame Xi'er for her old man's fault.

The Empress Dowager burst into tears and smiled, "it's best for you to have this idea. Good boy, get up. "

"Mother, are you not angry?" He asked pleasantly.

The Empress Dowager pretended to be angry. "When you apologize, you will be called your mother. When you forgive you, you will be called your mother! You can really look at your face! "

"If you like, your son will always call you mother! I'm afraid a female official will blame her son for disobedience! " He smiled.

"Don't pestle here. Go back to Ziyang hall to have a rest."

He ordered a few more words according to his words before he saluted.

When Zhuo Xi came out of the soft sedan chair, Wuhe had arranged a row of palace maids and eunuchs to kneel at the door to meet her and introduced her, "this is the most round, square and good, which was originally served in Ziyang palace. Zhiyuan is the eunuch in Ziyang palace. Ziyang palace has no big palace maids, only these little maids, namely spring flower, pink ball, small five and small six. The king said, "you call these people first. Tomorrow's slave will ask for a roster from the inner house. You can choose some who close your eyes."

Zhuo Xiqi said, "these three eunuchs have good names. Who gave them?" On the contrary, the names of those little maids are too casual.

Zhiyuan knelt down respectfully and replied, "in the early years, the slaves were lucky to have the name given by the king."

It means that no one gives a name to the little maid in waiting? She remembered that Jing Yuan didn't have a personal maid in the Hou's house outside the palace. Is it because he never liked palace maids, so he didn't even bother to take his name?

The head of the spring flower looked older. He knelt down bravely and begged, "good luck to the queen. Slaves and maidservants used their original names without the name given by the Lord. Ask the queen to give her maidservants a name, too. " They have been in this deserted palace for many years. They thought they had no hope. Unexpectedly, their luck turned around. How can they seize this opportunity. It's better to please the new queen than to follow the king who doesn't look at them at all. As long as the queen gave them names, they had a chance to stay with the queen.

Zhuo Xi also understood and said with a smile, "you were the old man of Ziyang palace. It's not right for you to be so noisy and seize the master when you first came to the palace. Wuhe, do you have a way to bring my maid who stayed in the Wu family into the palace? "

As soon as Wuhe heard it, he quickly nodded and bowed down, wrote down the name, age and other basic information of the maidservant of the Wu family, and left.

After hearing this, Chunhua obviously broke down her shoulders, but she still cheered up, introduced the queen into the inner hall, and served her to bathe and change clothes. Then she bowed down and retired.

In the evening, Jing Yuan came back, bathed and dressed by the little eunuchs, and then entered the bedroom. Zhuo Xi was still wiping her hair. Jing Yuan didn't like it. "What's the matter? There's no one to serve?"

The spring flower outside led several little maids to kneel outside, trembling and afraid to come in, so she had to whisper back, "the maidservant is here."

Zhuo Xi looked and threw the handkerchief to Jing Yuan. "I'm waiting for you to wipe my hair. What are you angry with them?"

Jing Yuan's anger subsided, picked up her handkerchief and hung her hair carefully.

Zhuo Xi said again, "let them all go down and have a rest first. Don't kneel. "

Jing Yuan coughed, "don't you get out when you hear it?"

Chunhua quickly kowtowed and went out.

Zhuo Xi saw his figure faintly from the bronze mirror. He had long hair and a shawl. His fuzzy face was jade. He was in a good mood. He touched his hair. "My hair is almost dry. Let me wipe it for you."

He smiled and sat down as he said, "why, they don't use it easily?"

She first covered his head with the whole veil, wiped it disorderly, and then smiled and said, "no, after all, they are the old people in Ziyang palace. How dare I use them?"

He thought a little and said, "spring flowers are left to me by my father. They are very loyal. You can use them as much as you can. In the future, if Xiao soul and her friends come over, it will be difficult for the personnel in the palace to get familiar with them for a while. If there is anything, it can be blocked by spring flowers. "

She hesitated, "you are going to live in Zichen hall in the future. Don't they follow?"

"I never use maids, don't you know? They've all given it to you. You can teach it. "

She said with a smile, "I'm relieved to see that you said evil words as soon as you came in." In this way, several spring flowers are less concerned, which may be a way for him to protect them.

She looked at his crumpled hair and laughed.

Jing Yuan also had a big heart. His eyes turned up and his tongue was long. However, he quietly extended his back. He suddenly turned around and enlarged his handsome face in front of her, so as to scare her. Unexpectedly, his hair was still wrapped in her hands. This turn made his hair hurt and felt broken.
