Queen Of Medicine

Approaching the Double Ninth Festival on September 9, Zhuo Xi originally wanted to ask the emperor for a grace to take a day off. On September 9, she accompanied the Empress Dowager to climb the mountain. Who knows, when she said this at dinner, the Empress Dowager shouted that her waist and legs hurt and she didn't want to climb the mountain.

So the Empress Dowager sent a post to several older sisters and asked them to come to the palace on September 9.

When it was time for lunch, Zhuo Xi felt that out of politeness, she should show her face and say hello to the elders. So I asked someone to talk to the emperor and drove to Ci'an palace with spring warmth.

After entering the Ci'an palace, there was a lot of laughter. The Empress Dowager saw Zhuo Xi come in, followed by mother Wu holding the Grand Prince, and couldn't close her mouth.

Zhuo Xi saluted the Empress Dowager and said hello.

Those life women also got up and saluted Zhuo Xi.

There are several she knows, such as Mrs. Chang'an and Mrs. Yuanyang. But there are still several old ladies who are not public secretaries. They only had some friendship with the Empress Dowager when they were young. Zhuo Xi only felt familiar, but she couldn't tell her identity. The Empress Dowager also introduced her one by one.

After a brief introduction, mother Wu came forward with the eldest prince in her arms and asked the Empress Dowager to say hello. By the way, she also asked the elders in the seat to say hello. These old ladies stood up one after another to return the gifts. Most of them touched the gadgets and gave them to meet. If they were not prepared for the moment, they also took off their jade pendant and handed it over.

As soon as Zhuo Xi's eyes were swept, chunnuan came forward with a smile and thanked the elders for the great prince.

The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "Xiao yu'er searched everyone once when he came. It can be seen that he can make money!"

Everyone laughed.

"Come on, Xi'er, hold Xiao yu'er and sit here." The Empress Dowager patted the seat beside her and greeted Zhuo Xi.

Zhuo Xi took the big prince in Wu's mother's hand, moved Lian Bu gently, and intimately put Xiao yu'er into the Empress Dowager's arms. Only then did she sit down on a small soft stool.

The Empress Dowager held Xiao yu'er in her arms, "Yo, this fat boy is a lot heavier. In a few days, grandma will not be able to hold you. "

"Look what your mother said. You are now in good health. Xi'er thinks you're just lazy and don't want to climb the mountain. "

The Empress Dowager laughed, "Xi'er, you can't talk nonsense in front of so many old sisters." The Empress Dowager put Xiao yu'er next to her seat and looked at him lying on the wide seat with small short legs. She was really happy.

Zhuo Xi looked at the elders below with a smile and said, "you are all elders, but don't be too formal."

A lady said, "no, let's see. The Empress Dowager's body is strong. When the sun is good, you should go out and walk more. "

Another said, "the great prince is well-developed and well raised. He is white and fat. It looks strong and can be loved. "

Zhuo Xi noticed that there was a woman staring at Xiao yu'er, and her look seemed to be wrong. She looked at Mrs. Ann Beth, the elder beside the woman, and gave her a wink. Mrs. Chang'an Patty understood, glanced at the woman, quietly touched her with her elbow and said, "Mrs. Wu, what's the matter with you? What a fool. But what's wrong? "

Mrs. Wu looked back and said with an embarrassed smile, "no, it's nothing. I just think of our wandering grandson." He looked a little sad.

Mrs. Chang'an looked at the look of the Empress Dowager and Zhuo Xi. Seeing that they didn't look unhappy, she followed her words, "what did you say? How can the Wu family have a grandson who is out of town? " Although the Wu family's official position is not obvious and she comes from a merchant, the old lady of the Wu family also has a small friendship with the Empress Dowager. Although she is not an aristocratic family, she is also a prominent family. Why can't she let her grandchildren live outside?

Mrs. Wu's eyes got a little wet and reluctantly smiled, "Hey, it's a long story. There are shrews at home, there are shrews at home. I'm afraid it will pollute the Empress Dowager's ears. Don't let this spoil everyone's fun. "

Zhuo Xi heard it clearly, but she didn't force it. When the Empress Dowager introduced her just now, she introduced the old lady of the Wu family as the grandmother of Wu Sheng, a scholar and senior doctor of the Ministry of punishment. She carefully recalled that Wu Sheng seemed to be the only one in politics in the Wu family. She didn't hear that Wu Sheng had any other uncles and nephews in the court hall. On the contrary, his wife family was very prominent and was the apple of Yan Xingcheng, the young teacher of dahonglu.

This little episode will soon pass. The Empress Dowager talked about several school-age CHILDES of the scholar family. The old ladies immediately began to introduce their relatives and nephews like chicken blood.

Zhuo Xi didn't speak. It was funny to hear that. The empress really didn't miss any chance to be a matchmaker. Now I don't know which woman is going to start dating?

Just talking and laughing, Mammy Su came into the house with a happy face and reported, "report to the Empress Dowager and empress. The long princess's house sent someone to report the good news."

The Empress Dowager was stunned, "which long Princess House?" Since Jing Yuan became emperor, the long princess has also been promoted one level automatically and become the long princess.

Mother Su said, "ouch," look, the old slave is happy. It's Princess Jing Mo's house. "

The Empress Dowager immediately said with a smile, "please come in quickly. Everyone is here today, which saves them from running to report the good news! "

"Yes!" Mother Su smiled, turned back, and soon came in. A little daughter-in-law in jujube red brocade came in. "I see the Empress Dowager and the empress dowager, and I see all the ladies and wives..."

The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "don't be too polite. Tell me quickly. What do you want to report?"

The little daughter-in-law was very nervous and her tongue was knotted. "Princess Chang, Princess Chang started last night. Just half an hour ago, she gave birth to the eldest son on Christmas day. Mother and son are safe. "

As soon as she heard this, the Empress Dowager couldn't close her mouth. "It's really a great joy, a great joy! Mammy Su, reward quickly! In addition, find out the red coral peach forest screen in AI's library, and send two excellent centenarian ginseng to the long princess's house, and ask her to take good care of her baby! "

With a smile, Mammy Su took the daughter-in-law back.

The people congratulated the Empress Dowager in unison.

The Empress Dowager smiled happily, "this year is really a happy year!" Asked Zhuo Xi again, "Jing Mo is born, and Jing Qian is estimated to be soon?"

Zhuo Xi smiled, "isn't it? They have been there one after another... Just look. I'm afraid there will be another happy event in a few days! You should count the good things in your library! "

Everyone laughed.

After lunch, they drank another cup of tea and talked for a while. When the Empress Dowager wanted to rest, all the old men left.

Zhuo Xi returned to Ning'an palace in a soft sedan. Xiao yu'er had been held back by mother Wu to drink milk and rest. When she arrived at the door, she saw Mrs. Wu standing at the door with a young daughter-in-law waiting.

Zhuo Xi sank her face and got off the soft sedan chair. Xia Yi came and saluted hurriedly, "empress, Mrs. Wu has just come. The maid asked her to wait in the banquet room. She refused to say anything..."

Mrs. Wu immediately knelt down with her daughter-in-law behind her, "see the queen. I'm here to apologize."

Zhuo Xi was a little unhappy. Her business was arranged in advance. She had never been stopped at the door like this. It seemed that she wanted to stop the driver to avenge her grievance. As she walked forward, she said faintly, "excuse me. If anything, come in and talk about it. "

When he got to the main hall, he sat down. Lao Fu Wu and his daughter-in-law knelt in front of the queen again. "I'm here to ask for forgiveness from the queen."

Zhuo Xi picked up her tea cup and took a sip of tea. "Where did old lady Wu start?"

"I just lost my courtesy in front of the Empress Dowager and bumped into the empress dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Grand Prince. I was terrified and came to apologize."

Zhuo Xi smiled coldly, "since it's a courtesy lost in front of the empress dowager, how can you come to our palace to apologize? Are you in the wrong place, or do you think this palace is better than the Empress Dowager? "

Mrs. Wu's body trembled on the ground and murmured, "no, no, I dare not."

Zhuo Xi thought a little and asked in a deep voice, "that is to ask to come to the palace, but it has something to do with the wandering grandson you said?"

Mr. Wu raised his face, already full of tears, choked and said, "your mother's eyes." With that, she glanced at her daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law beside her also fell on the ground and said, "go back to your mother. I'm Yan, the wife of Wu Sheng, a senior doctor of the criminal scholar. Some words are inappropriate for my mother-in-law. Can I answer them on my behalf? "

Zhuo Xi nodded, "get up first and speak slowly."

After thanking Yan for their kindness, Mrs. Wu and Yan stood up with shaking hands.

Yan replied, "my Lord is the third in the Wu family. Speaking of it, this is also the housework of the Wu family. However, the Wu family only has my master who has a foothold in the court and can find an opportunity to say a few words. So the sister-in-law entrusted her concubine and her mother to plead with her mother by entering the palace. Uncle Wu has been walking around in a layman's shop all year round. A few years ago, he collected a concubine in Jiangnan. Because the Wu family has been struggling with their children, the sister-in-law is also empty. After learning that the concubine was pregnant, he happily took her back to Kyoto to raise her baby for childbirth. Unexpectedly, when the concubine was in labor, she had a little quarrel with her sister-in-law and disappeared from home. After several visits, the Wu family found her whereabouts recently. They also learned that the concubine had given birth to her son and was raised outside. Mother, I'm really worried. Ask your mother to decide and let the blood of the Wu family recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. "

Zhuo Xi became more and more confused. This is the Wu family's housework. What does it have to do with her? Why did the Wu family come to apologize? She was wary.

The spring warmth on one side also nervously clenched the pen holder in his hand. She saw the empress's eyes glancing over and winked at her in awe.
