The Favoured Medical Princess: 240 incident (second update)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
There was silence in Wushou Hall, and the depressing atmosphere made the ladies in charge standing below dare not express their anger, for fear that they would become the standout.
Nangong Yue took a sip of tea, looked at Nanny Zhang calmly, and asked: "Nanny Zhang, in this palace, the father, queen, mother, concubine and son are not here, who is the most noble? Who is in the palace? The owner?"
Nangong Yue was still smiling slightly, calm and steady, her eyes were clear and cold, like a bottomless pool, but with an ice-like awe-inspiring aura, which even made Nanny Zhang beside her stiff. Get up, she has been in the palace for many years and has never seen any big scenes, but she really doesn't understand how such a little girl can look so majestic!
Nanny Zhang took a deep breath and hurriedly replied: "Of course it's you, Crown Princess!"
"That's right." Nangong Yue slowly put down the tea bowl in her hand, her tone suddenly turned cold, "If anyone is forgetful, can't remember, or can't recognize this, it's better to say it now and go back to retire as soon as possible. Great!"
The few words she said made the people behind her break into cold sweat. They kowtowed three times in succession. From the corner of their eyes, they saw Nangong Yue’s maids still looking calm, as if they were used to such scenes, and they were becoming more and more fearful. , said in unison: "I dare not!"
Allowing them to bruise their foreheads, Nangong Yue raised her voice and said loudly: "I am the crown prince and the master of this house. I have my own reasons for what I do, and I don't need to explain anything to you. But today I meet you for the first time. You don’t understand my temperament, so I will tell you a few words.”
When she paused, there was silence in the main hall, everyone listened attentively and remained motionless.
"Today, I have changed the staff in the kitchen, purchasing and janitoring, which is naturally my reason." Then she looked towards Que'er, "Que'er, talk to them!"
"Yes, the Crown Princess!" Que'er stepped forward and puffed out his chest. Under the attention of many people, he remained calm, "Slave, please tell me about the kitchen first. Breakfast will be delivered to the Crown Princess this morning. It was already cold. Later, the servant quietly went to the kitchen to see that the people in the kitchen either slipped away to eat melon seeds and chatted, or hid in the boiling water room and dozed off. They didn't even know that the stove was turned off. The imperial concubine was still in the house. , why didn’t you even leave a stove and a pot of hot water?”
The old woman who was in charge of the kitchen was said to be in a cold sweat. In the past, there was no master in the inner courtyard. The prince had his own large kitchen in the outer courtyard. The kitchen in the inner courtyard only had to take care of the food for the servants. Naturally, he did not need to be on call all the time. It became a little looser.
When the Crown Princess first got married, they were very nervous and waited for a few days. However, they discovered that the Crown Princess’s meals were all prepared in the small kitchen of Fufengyuan and the large kitchen in the outer courtyard. Who knew what would happen today? Breakfast would be suddenly ordered from the large kitchen in the inner courtyard.
Following Que'er, he took an account book from a little maid and said with a smile: "I didn't look at this account book carefully. I just looked at the interesting price of these clothes. I don't know which ready-to-wear shop sells clothes like this." It's so expensive that you need five pieces of silver to buy two of them!" Que'er originally thought that Cheng Yu had the face of a smart man, but he was also ignorant, and such a rough account book actually fooled him... Okay. , just like what the Crown Princess said, Uncle Cheng follows the Crown Prince to do big things, and these little things have to be a headache for girls like them.
The daughter-in-law in charge of purchasing did not dare to argue, and she knelt even lower. If the master really pursues this matter, he will have no chance of survival, whether he is beaten to death or sent to prison.
Finally, Que'er looked at the woman at the end of the door who was in charge of the door. Before Que'er could say anything, the woman was already on her knees and pleading: "Prince Concubine, I accept my punishment!" The door doesn't let people out, but who really wants to be locked up like a prison? There are a lot of mistakes that can be made at will. Rather than being criticized, it is better to admit it and ask for leniency.
Although the other three people kneeling on the ground kept their jobs, their hearts were pounding. There was no way this person could make mistakes in his position, especially since the inner courtyard of the palace had become so loose over the years. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. How can a person who is loose and accustomed to become impeccable overnight!
They knew that it would be easy for the Crown Princess to replace them, but they felt that their positions were not very important and their mistakes could be forgiven, so they did not bother to argue with them.
Nangong Yue looked around at the crowd for half a circle, then turned to An Niang beside her and said, "Aunt Song is leaving today. Nanny, it will be up to you to temporarily take Aunt Song's place!"
"Yes, Crown Princess!" An Niang took a deep breath, took a step forward, and Fu Shen responded.
An Niang seemed calm, but her heart was in turmoil. The matter of asking her to temporarily replace Aunt Song now seems to be Nangong Yue's impromptu decision. In fact, Nangong Yue had already told An Niang and Baihui last night about replacing Aunt Song, and suggested that An Niang should be replaced temporarily. generation.
At that time, An Niang was a little scared. She thought she didn't have much ability. Even in the past, she was a little reluctant to take care of the girl's yard. Because Baihui and Que'er were there to help, there was no trouble. If she were to be the nun in charge, if something went wrong, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to her own girl?
Nangong Yue persuaded An Niang and said that she would let Queer and Huamei help her. Furthermore, she is the imperial concubine’s nanny. No matter what mistakes she made in this house, as long as Nangong Yue doesn’t care, who would dare to do anything to An Niang? An Niang's identity is there, she has become the steward, and no one has anything to say!
After much thought, An Niang had no choice but to put it on the shelf.
The lessons learned from Mother Song just now are still in front of our eyes, so how could anyone else dare to say anything else.
Nangong Yue saw that it was almost done, so she said with a smile: "Everyone, today you and I, my master and servant, meet for the first time. I'd better say this ugly thing first, so as to save you from testing my temper secretly in the future!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, which made Grandma Zhang feel trembling in her heart.
Nangong Yue looked at everyone and continued calmly: "I am a very simple person. I will be rewarded for my merits and punished for my mistakes. It doesn't matter where you are from or what your background is. As long as you If you are capable, I will use you. If you are incompetent, step aside and make way for me. No matter who you are, if you are cheating, cheating, or cheating, don’t blame me for being rude!"
She smiled lightly and had a gentle temperament. She was still the thin and fragile girl. But at the moment, she was just sitting like this, but it gave people a condescending feeling. Her tone was still gentle and gentle, but it made people feel uncomfortable. It felt like every word and every sentence was struck in the heart, and no one in the hall dared to look down upon it.
Everyone had different reactions, some were scared, some were happy, some were worried, and some were indifferent. However, Grandma Zhang’s heart gradually calmed down. The imperial concubine’s intention was to only use the talented person. As long as she If she does it well, her position will be stable.
Thinking of this, Grandma Zhang straightened her back, bowed and echoed: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your teaching!" She was convinced in her heart: This Crown Princess, hitting a stick with her hand and giving a piece of candy, was already a joke. Superb!
When Nanny Zhang said this, several other people kneeling on the ground kowtowed in unison: "Thank you for your teachings!"
The drama in the main hall was finally over, An Niang took office, and Nangong Yue returned to Fufengyuan with Baihui Lily.
Although she has suppressed the housekeepers, the palace's inner palace is simply a mess, and she still has a lot to do...
Just when Nangong Yue was having a headache about the palace's middle-aged man, the queen was also shocked by a piece of news.
The second princess secretly left the palace? !
This news was handed back by a maid placed by the queen in Jingyang Palace. It is said that the second princess has been away for three full days and has not been found yet.
This is great news!
Concubine Zhang and her son are like a thorn in the heart of the queen. A few days ago, the emperor showed great favor to the third prince, which made the queen feel flustered. Although after Shengshou, she became inexplicably cold. Young, but the queen still did not dare to take it lightly. She knew clearly that once the third prince took that position, her little five would have no chance of survival.
Now, Concubine Zhang personally delivered the handle to her.
The queen stood up, stroked her wrinkle-free dress, and gracefully commanded Xueqin: "I heard that the second princess has been feeling unwell recently, and I am very worried. Xueqin, go and fetch the imperial doctor for me. I will go and see her for myself."
Xue Qin responded and ordered a young palace maid to ask the imperial physician Zheng Wu to prepare the queen's sedan chair.
The group of people arrived at Xuehe Palace in a mighty manner.
Everyone in Xuehe Palace knelt down to welcome the sudden arrival of the queen. The fact that the second princess secretly left the palace was a secret even in Xuehe Palace. Only the few maids and eunuchs in charge of the second princess knew about it.
The queen was respectfully welcomed to the main hall. As soon as she sat down at the main seat, the second princess's eldest maid, Jade, came in a hurry and said hello with a panic expression.
The queen pretended to be unintentional and asked casually: "Where is your princess?"
Jade hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, your Majesty, she is unwell and is resting in the inner hall."
"Take me to have a look."
"Empress..."
"What?" the queen said with a faint smile, "What's wrong?"
Jade was so anxious that sweat covered her forehead. She kept looking outside the palace and replied: "Your Highness just fell asleep, so..."
"I won't bother her." The queen said, and said to Doctor Wu who was standing aside, "Mr. Wu, the second princess has been feeling unwell recently. You have to give her a good look soon."
Physician Wu responded respectfully, already realizing that today was by no means as simple as diagnosing a disease.
The queen stood up and walked towards the inner hall.
Jade hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of the queen. She was so anxious that she could hardly speak. She knew very well that once the queen found out that the second princess was missing, those of them who were serving her personally would have no way to survive.
She winked desperately at the maids around her. The maids looked at each other. The one in front of them was the queen, and no one dared to stop her.
Jade Cui said bravely: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has not been able to sleep well these past two days. He just took some soothing soup and fell asleep. Please come back to visit His Highness later."
The queen said coldly: "I will not disturb her."
"Empress!"
"Presumptuous!" the queen frowned and shouted, "The eldest maid next to the second princess is so ignorant of the rules. Come on, drag her down."
As soon as the words fell, the attendants came up, grabbed Jade and dragged her out.
"Empress! Empress!"
The queen ignored her and continued walking forward.
In order to keep the secret that the second princess had left the palace, there was only one maid guarding the inner room. As soon as she saw the queen coming, she knew that Jadeite had not been able to stop her, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
Amber's back was covered with cold sweat, Fu Shen said: "Empress, Your Highness just fell asleep..."
Xueqin stepped forward and ordered: "Get out of the way."
Amber stood firmly in front of the door and refused to let him in.
The queen's face became a little colder again, "It seems that the second princess indulges you too much, causing you all to lose your rules. Someone is here..."
"Greetings to the Queen." At this moment, Concubine Zhang hurried over. Her hair was messy, and the delicate makeup on her face was stained by sweat. She saluted to the Queen, pretending He said nonchalantly, "It's an honor for the second princess that my sister comes to see the second princess. It's just that the second princess has been trapped by nightmares these days and has been having trouble sleeping. She finally fell asleep. Can you wait until she wakes up before saying hello to her sister?"
What she said was as if the queen was scolding the concubine in an aggressive manner.
The queen smiled and said, "What do you mean by Concubine Zhang's words? I knew that the second princess had been ill for some time, so I specially asked Dr. Wu to come over and take a look. However, in the Xuehe Palace, everyone was blocking me. When the palace meets the second princess, I don’t understand. Is the second princess sick or..."
"Sister asked knowingly." Concubine Zhang said with a cold face, "I would like to boldly say something here, if my sister had not ignored the wishes of the second princess and wanted to choose a consort for her, and I was not allowed to interfere, how could the second princess be in a hurry? I'm going to be sick."
"You mean, it's all my fault?"
"Sister, the second princess finally fell asleep, please don't disturb me."
"Did the second princess just go to bed, or is she not in the palace at all?!"
"Sister!" Concubine Zhang chuckled, "It turns out that sister suspects that the second princess is not in the palace. Well, if sister wants to see it, I can't stop it, but if the second princess is really sleeping inside, So what?"
Concubine Zhang's nonchalant attitude made the queen hesitate. Could it be that the second princess was really inside?
Is this a trap deliberately set by Concubine Zhang and her daughter?
The queen looked at Concubine Zhang steadily, as if she wanted to see some flaws, but when she saw Concubine Zhang looking back calmly, she lost some confidence.
"Sister, if the second princess is inside, how about you follow the second princess's wish and let the concubine choose the consort for the second princess?"
The queen lowered her head slightly and said calmly: "As the aunt of the second princess, I naturally have to come and see the second princess when she is ill. As for the matter of the second consort, my sister is the second princess's biological mother, so that's okay. The one who calls the shots."
Although the Queen looked very calm on her face, she was a little uneasy in her heart.
Concubine Zhang chuckled and said, "In that case, Amber, open the door."
Hu Huo obeyed the order and opened the door of the inner room. Looking from the outside, he could see the agarwood carved bed at a glance. Through the silk curtain of scarlet silk, a figure could be vaguely seen lying inside, seeming to be listening. When there was movement outside, the figure turned over and let out a vague groan.
"Sister saw it." Concubine Zhang said calmly, "The second princess is still asleep, please ask sister to let her sleep for a while. When the second princess wakes up, sister will definitely let her go to her sister to apologize. ."
The queen frowned, was this really a mistake?
I didn’t expect Concubine Zhang to go to such great lengths to personally choose the consort for the second princess.
"In that case, then I..."
The queen's words suddenly stopped, it was just about the consort, how could Concubine Zhang and her daughter cause such a big fight? Although the emperor was angry with the second princess, given the emperor's temperament, as long as Concubine Zhang humbled herself and begged for help in tears, even if she could not beg for forgiveness from the emperor, she would at least have some say in choosing the consort. There is no need for this. ?
Could it be...
Concubine Zhang is trying to be mysterious!
It’s no wonder that Concubine Zhang has been favored in the harem for many years, and I was almost bluffed by her!
The corner of the queen's lips raised, and she changed the topic and said: "I think the second princess should not be afraid of illness and avoid medical treatment. Dr. Wu, please go and check the second princess's pulse."
"Sister."
Concubine Zhang’s always calm face finally showed a trace of panic. This time, the queen did not give her any chance to speak. With a look, the two nuns behind her rushed into the inner hall and pulled her apart. Akane red silk curtain...
In the tent, the second princess' eldest maid, Coral, sat up suddenly, her face pale.
……
When the news reached Nangong Yue, she had just finished her lunch when she heard Lily say vividly: "...Now the palace is in chaos. The emperor was furious after learning the news and had already sent the Jin Yiwei. Chasing the second princess!"
After all, the second princess is a dignified princess. When she is secretly brought back by Jin Yiwei, the emperor will naturally suppress the matter. By then, the reputation of the royal family will naturally be unaffected if she is found in a random family.
However, this is too cheap for these two princesses...
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed slightly and she ordered to Lily: "I remember that the Crown Prince owns several restaurants in the capital. Go and give Zhu Xing a message..."
