The Favoured Medical Princess: 310 side concubine

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

In July in the royal capital, the heat is unbearable.

Nangong Yue has become a bit lazy. She likes to sit next to the ice basin and never leave the house.

This summer is much hotter than in previous years. Most people started using ice basins as early as the end of May. By July, the ice they stocked was not enough. The ice in Wangdu Prices have been rising rapidly and have almost reached their peak in several years.

Xiao Yi knew that Nangong Yue was afraid of heat. In addition to what was stored in the ice cellar in the mansion, he ordered people to go out to buy ice early. Seeing that only half of the ice in the mansion had been used, several more trucks were delivered.

Nangong Yue’s heart felt warm, and she happily ordered: “Put half of it in the ice cellar, and send the other half to Nangong’s mansion. Brother Heng is young, and his mother said last time that he has been very hot every night lately. I couldn’t sleep well, and the house is shopping around to buy ice, so this is the right time.”

Quie'er responded with a smile and hurriedly rushed people to do it.

Not long after, the two women brought in the newly added ice basin. After placing it, they stepped back with low eyebrows and passed by Baihui who was coming in.

"The Crown Princess." Lily came in with a red card and said, "The gift list for opening the second prince's mansion has been drawn up. Please take a look and see if it's appropriate."

Nangong Yue took it and glanced at it.

In ten days, the second prince will leave the palace and open his mansion, and the time set by the clan mansion for the third prince is September.

The corners of Nangong Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she said: "It's not convenient for the prince and I to go when the prince opens his mansion. The gift should be a little heavy... I remember that there is a green glazed suanni incense burner in the warehouse, add it That’s pretty much it.”

"Yes." Lily responded, but did not step back, but reported back, "Prince Concubine, just now someone from the Bai family sent a message, saying that it is the birthday of Miss Bai Ciao in a few days, and they want to invite the Crown Princess to come. ."

"Invite me?" Nangong Yue said with a smile, "It's a shame they figured it out... Well, so to speak, after the Jinxin meeting, the Bai family paid a lot more attention to my cousin."

Nangong Yue knew without thinking that such an invitation would definitely not be Bai Muxiao's wish. After all, the two of them dislike each other very much now. I am afraid that the Bai family wants to use themselves as the crown prince's cousin to make a show of favor for Bai Muxiao. After all, when the third prince opens his mansion, Bai Muxiao will be carried in.

"Go back for me."

Lily agreed, and then said angrily: "The white cousin girl just entered the prince's house as a concubine, and she still wants you to have a facial."

"That's not necessarily true." Nangong Yue smiled, shook her finger and said, "Cousin Bai has made a contribution this time. I'm afraid the emperor will give her some face."

Lily said in surprise: "Prince Princess, you mean..."

"My cousin Bai will probably enter the prince's palace as a concubine this time." Nangong Yue said nonchalantly. She knew in her heart that for Bai Muxiao, the concubine and the concubine were not actually the same. What a difference, what Bai Muxiao wanted was always the position of the head wife. She paused and said with great interest, "Let's see if the third prince is smart this time."

Lily's eyes widened, her dark eyes full of curiosity.

Nangong Yue simply satisfied her curiosity and said, "If the third prince's concubine was smarter, followed the trend, and took the initiative to ask for Bai Muxiao's status as a concubine, I'm afraid the third prince would still miss her. It’s good for her to give one or two points, otherwise, even if she doesn’t agree, it’s impossible to change the result.”

Lily said with sadness: "This servant suddenly felt that the third prince's concubine was a little pitiful." Even though she knew that her husband's heart was with another woman, she still pretended to be virtuous and went to beg her back for him, "That prince Concubine, do you think the third imperial concubine will really ask for it?"

Nangong Yue said casually: "Yes, given her current situation, only by pleasing the third prince can she win his heart. Even if she doesn't think of this herself, I'm afraid her natal family will come to persuade her."

Just as Nangong Yue guessed, the third prince's concubine Cui Yanyan sat in silence for a long time after seeing her mother off.

Nanny Lin looked at her distressedly and was about to step forward to comfort her. Cui Yanyan let out a long sigh, stood up and said, "I'm going to Fengluan Palace."

"Big girl..."

"Mommy, I remember all those words you persuaded me last time." Cui Yanyan's lips curled up into a sneer, "If Bai Muxiao's status after entering the house is too low, I'm afraid she won't be able to compete with the man who made the clothes." The saint can't fight, the two of them have to be evenly matched."

Cui Yanyan straightened her back and said word by word: "No matter how they fight, I am the upright and upright third prince concubine, canonized by imperial decree!"

"You are absolutely right, Miss." Nanny Lin said comfortingly, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince will one day think of your kindness."

Cui Yanyan lowered her eyes slightly and said, "...let's go."

……

So, when Han Lingfu returned to Minghua Palace in the evening, he saw Cui Yanyan waiting for him in front of the study.

Han Lingfu was a little irritable because of the heat. He became even more irritated when he saw Cui Yanyan. He went straight into the study without looking at her.

Cui Yanyan hurriedly followed in. Facing Han Lingfu's impatient gaze, she forcibly restrained the sourness and anger in her heart, softened her voice, and said in a virtuous manner: "Your Highness, I think we will be here soon. I left the palace and opened my mansion, and went to see the Queen today."

"Meet the Queen?"

"Yes." Cui Yanyan took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "I am thinking that after the house is opened, Miss Bai will enter the house..."

As soon as he heard the words "Miss Bai", Han Lingfu's expression became stern, his eyes pierced Cui Yanyan like a knife, and he said sternly: "What do you want to do?"

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood." Cui Yanyan quickly defended, "I thought it was a bit low for Miss Bai to enter the palace as a concubine, so I went to beg the Queen to raise the status of Miss Bai."

Hearing what she said, Han Lingfu felt happy and hurriedly asked: "What did the empress say?"

"The empress agreed." Cui Yanyan smiled like a flower, as if what the empress agreed was something very important to her, "After we open the palace, Miss Bai will enter the palace as a concubine. Mansion."

Han Lingfu was immediately overjoyed. Although he knew that his Xiaoer had made a great contribution this time, it was very likely that she would get rid of the fate of being a concubine. He originally planned to find an opportunity to mention it to the Queen, but he didn't expect that Cui Yanyan was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable this time. It was naturally more appropriate for her, the third prince's concubine, to speak up than to do it himself.

Han Lingfu was satisfied, nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work this time. Your love has been accepted."

Cui Yanyan covered up the bitterness in her heart and said with a smile: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. You and I are husband and wife, and I also hope that I can share your labor and relieve your worries. Miss Bai is talented and beautiful, and she is His Highness's." My confidante, I also like her very much."

"It's good that you know." Han Ling nodded and said, "Be your third prince's concubine, and I will not treat you badly."

Cui Yanyan knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing that Han Lingfu's face was full of joy and she was in a good mood, she said carefully, "Your Highness, would you like to eat? How many fresh vegetables were sent to the palace today? Live fish, I ordered the kitchen to prepare it, Your Highness..."

She just accomplished a big thing for herself today, and Xiao'er will come into the house tomorrow... Although Cui Yanyan dare not treat Xiaoer badly, after all, it would be good if she could take care of her a little more in the inner house.

Thinking of this, Han Lingfu felt that it was better not to disgrace Cui Yanyan too much and said: "I will have dinner with you."

Cui Yanyan was overjoyed. This was the first time Han Lingfu had a meal with her since she married into the palace. She was about to order someone to prepare the meal quickly when she heard Han Lingfu say: "The Queen has said when she will issue the edict." ?"

Cui Yanyan felt a chill in her heart. She clenched her hands tightly into fists and let her nails get stuck deeply into her flesh. She smiled without revealing any trace of her face and said, "The empress said, An edict will be issued in the next two days..."

Han Lingfu was beaming with joy. He couldn't wait to see Xiaoer's happy smile after learning the good news.

With Han Lingfu's earnest expectation, the Queen's decree was finally delivered, and the matter of Bai Muxiao being established as the third prince's concubine was finally settled!

The entire White House seems to have been injected with vitality. Everyone in the house is glowing and walking with wind. It feels like the future of their White House is bright.

That is the third prince’s concubine!

Concubines are different from concubines in that they can be accepted into the imperial palace. Even for a girl from a fourth- or fifth-grade official family, it is not that easy for her to enter the third prince's residence as a concubine!

Since Bai Muxiao returned to Baifu from Nangong Mansion, he has been living in the small courtyard located in the northwest corner of Baifu. It has always been deserted and deserted. The servants would avoid it if they could, but now they Quite different. Those maids and wives who are good at sneaking into the camp would come to the yard from time to time to chat with Bai Muxiao's maids. They would become familiar with Bai Muxiao, thinking that they might be attracted by the older girl, and they could be married to him. Go to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Not only the servants, but also the old lady Zhou showed great love to Bai Muxiao. She greeted her every day, as if Bai Muxiao had always been her most beloved granddaughter, as if she had been discordant and unhappy in the past few years. Never happened...

No, early in the morning, Bai Muxiao went to Mrs. Zhou's house to greet Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou immediately called Bai Muxiao in front of her with a smile, "Sister Xiao, come here quickly!"

Looking at Bai Muxiao's moon-white dress, Mrs. Zhou said again: "Sister Xiao, you are about to marry into the third prince's house, why are you still dressed so plainly?" Mrs. Zhou held her hand lovingly. Bai Muxiao's right hand was extremely affectionate.

Since Mrs. Zhou wanted to play the role of grandson Xiao, Bai Muxiao cooperated and said: "Thank you grandma for your care. Xiao'er is naturally more casual in her own home." She thought sarcastically in her heart, could it be possible? Are you going to be like Yu and Bai Muyan who just wear something good when they see it? They think they are rich, but they don't know that in the eyes of those truly noble people, they are just vulgar nouveau riche!

Moreover, she is just a concubine. What is the difference between a concubine and a concubine? What I want is never these...but no one can understand.

Ms. Zhou smiled more and more kindly, patted Bai Muxiao's hand and said, "Silly boy, as the saying goes, 'women should look good to please themselves', if you dress well, that is also the face of His Highness the Third Prince." Then, she said to the maid next to her, "Lv Zhu, hurry up and get my jewelry box."

"Yes, old lady." Luzhu hurriedly accepted the order and soon brought a large box of jewelry.

Mr. Zhou asked Lv Zhu to open the jewelry box. After looking at it, a trace of reluctance flashed through her muddy old eyes, but she quickly told herself in her heart that she couldn't trap the wolf if she couldn't bear the child.

She was cruel and took out a phoenix-patterned mutton-fat white jade bracelet from the box, put it on Bai Muxiao's left wrist herself, and said with a smile: "Look, this bracelet really matches our sister Xiao." ”

This mutton-fat white jade bracelet with phoenix pattern looks like the best mutton-fat white jade at first glance. It is warm and delicate, with fine carvings. Several vivid phoenixes are carved on it, well-proportioned and full of charm. This jade bracelet is obviously worth a lot of money.

Bai Muxiao also had to admit that this jade bracelet was indeed beautiful, so she said, "My granddaughter thanked my grandmother."

Ms. Zhou still felt heartbroken, but she said with a smile on her face: "Sister Xiao, this white jade bracelet with phoenix pattern and mutton fat is a tribute. It was rewarded by the previous dynasty in the palace. After so many years, this jade quality is It's getting smoother and smoother. In the past, your second aunt and your second sister came to ask for it, but I didn't even give it to you. Sister Xiao, you are about to marry into the third prince's house, so you must have some decent jewelry to support the occasion."

"Thank you, grandma, for your caring heart." Bai Muxiao thanked Mrs. Zhou again, politely, but she thought disdainfully: Could it be that Ms. Zhou really thought that she cared about these things from her?

Seeing that even though Bai Muxiao got something good, she was not afraid of honor or disgrace and behaved with dignity. Zhou couldn't help but sighed in her heart: No wonder this granddaughter is so lucky to win the favor of His Highness the Third Prince. It's not like Bai Muyan who covets her own good things every day, now asking for this, now asking for that, her eyesight is really shallow! No wonder he was defrauded of money and sex, lost his virginity, and disgraced the Bai family...

Thinking about it, a flash of disgust flashed in Zhou's eyes, but she soon started talking to Bai Muxiao as if nothing had happened.

What happened in Zhou's house soon reached the ears of Yu in Yusheng Courtyard.

Unlike the joy outside the courtyard, the entire Yusheng Courtyard was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Yu was so angry that her eyes almost popped out, and she said angrily to a little maid, "The old lady gave that phoenix-patterned mutton-fat white jade bracelet to the eldest girl?"

The little maid lowered her voice and said, "That's what Aunt Rong who serves in the old lady's house said."

Mrs. Yu glanced in the direction of the inner room, clenched her fist tightly at her side, waved the little maid away, then opened the curtain and entered the inner room.

In the inner room, Bai Muyan, who was wearing a white tunic, was lying haggardly on the bed. She had lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were even slightly sunken, and her eyes were dull and dull.

Ms. Yu gritted her teeth fiercely, with raging anger igniting in her heart.

At first, Mrs. Zhou had clearly agreed to give the phoenix-patterned mutton-fat white jade bracelet to Bai Muyan as a dowry, but now she turned against her.

Ms. Yu took a deep breath, walked quickly to Bai Muyan's couch and sat down. She looked at her distressedly and asked softly: "Sister Yan, what do you think?"

Ms. Yu was heartbroken. Her daughter, who was once as high-spirited and as beautiful as a blooming flower, withered prematurely because of that little **** and turned into the inhuman and ghostly person she is now. look.

These days, every time she thinks about this, Ms. Yu tosses and turns and has sleepless nights.

Bai Muyan on the bed looked at the top of the curtain in despair, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Ms. Yu felt extremely distressed. Although she blamed her daughter for being ignorant and easily deceived, she was still her daughter after all. Sister Yan is now lying here in a state of despair, but Bai Muxiao, the one who harmed her, has become the concubine of the third prince. The world is so unfair!

Mrs. Yu's heart ached like tears. She stroked Bai Muyan's cold cheek and was about to speak again when the door curtain was opened and a short, fat nun quickly walked into the inner room. It was Grandma Guo, Yu's confidant.

She saluted Mr. Yu respectfully and reported meaningfully: "Second Madam, the 'person' has been found."

The corner of Yu's mouth curled up, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes, like a vicious wolf or a poisonous snake.

She patted Bai Muyan's hand gently, her expression became as gentle as a mother's, and murmured: "Sister Yan, my mother will definitely avenge you!" She must kill that little **** Bai Muxiao. People fall into the eighteen levels of **** and will never be reincarnated!

"Mom!" Bai Muyan, who was originally like a puppet, suddenly came to life, with strong hatred bursting out of her eyes.

Even if Bai Muyan was once foolish enough to believe that Pan Lang would definitely marry her, that foolishness was worn away by the day-by-day waiting. What replaced it was hatred for Bai Muxiao, wanting to eat his flesh and blood.

"Mom, I'm going to make her life worse than death!" Bai Muyan grabbed Yu's sleeve and said viciously, like a ghost from hell.

Mrs. Yu gritted her teeth and said: "Sister Yan, don't worry. Mother must make every penny of the suffering you have suffered come back to her! Does she want to marry into the third prince's house innocently? Humph, it's a dream! ”

She comforted Bai Muyan softly, and then left Yusheng Courtyard with Nanny Guo...

As the days go by, the summer heat has not diminished at all, but has become stronger.

The rich families were fine, just adding a few more ice basins, but the common people who were busy making a living couldn't rest for a long time. Suddenly, many people in the capital suffered from heat stroke due to the intense heat.

Nangong Yue and her grandfather Lin Jingchen discussed and prepared some medicinal tea and placed it in Lin Ziran's medical clinic Baicaolu for people to drink for free.

The effect of this herbal tea is extremely good. Word of mouth spreads, and people come to Baicao Lu every day to ask for herbal tea.

Lin Ziran then ordered someone to find a big pot, and a pot full of medicinal tea was boiled in front of the Baicao House, so that anyone who came and went could take it at will.

In this scorching heat, the second prince opened his palace. Like the eldest prince, the emperor only rewarded him with some ordinary things and did not grant him a title. Everyone in the imperial court was speculating whether they should wait until the day when the crown prince was established before enfeoffing the title.

The Holy Will is unpredictable and unknowable.

It is not only the matter of the princes not being ennobled, but also the matter of peace talks with Baiyue.

Due to Xiao Yi's undisputed strong attitude, the peace talks were unknowingly put on hold. Even Xiao Yi was impeached several times in the early dynasty due to poor performance of official duties, but the emperor didn't care at all. Even when there is impeachment, they will go to the Zhennan Palace with some fruit and snacks with great fanfare. After going back and forth, the imperial envoy, no matter how discerning he was, saw the emperor's intentions.

Xiao Yi’s peace talks are in line with the Holy Will!

Dayu is not in a hurry, but Baiyue is getting more and more anxious, but he is helpless in the face of Xiao Yi's reluctance.

It soon arrived at the end of July, and the scorching heat still lingered. In the Zhennan Palace, Nangong Yue lay lazily on the beauty's couch, and Xiao Yi fanned herself diligently, with a basin of iced tea at her hand. fruit.

The two chatted and laughed casually, and unknowingly mentioned the Jinxin Meeting that had just passed.

Fu Yunyan showed off her talents at the Jinxin Conference, but Yongyang was a little dissatisfied. Especially after hearing that she was almost attacked by a man in disguise, he felt that she was still not good at her studies. In Yongyang's words, if it were him, he would have retaliated in the same way, causing the attacker to lose his arms and legs, and how could he still be able to continue running happily.

So, Yongyang simply took the overjoyed Fu Yunyan to the military camp outside the city, saying that he wanted to have a good experience.

Nangong Yue was overjoyed when she thought of what Fu Yunyan had learned from her in Yongyang's tone, and she also learned it from Xiao Yi.

As long as Xiao Yi saw her happy, he would naturally be happy. The two laughed and laughed for a while. Xiao Yi suddenly remembered something and said: "Smelly girl, last time I talked about your cousin, I asked someone to I checked..."

Nangong Yue was startled at first, then remembered that what he was talking about was the poem Bai Muxiao wrote at the Jinxin Meeting, and asked, "Is there any result?"

"I can't find anyone who has written it." After Xiao Yi finished speaking, seeing Nangong Yue's disappointed look, he added, "However, I asked Xiaobai. Xiaobai said that he did not write it in any book. He had seen poems written by your cousin in the book, but he still believed in his own judgment. Xiaobai said, in fact, it is not difficult to know whether she is really talented or not. You just need to find an opportunity to test it out. There will definitely be results."

"Testing?" Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "How can I test it?"

"Xiaobai said..."

"The Crown Prince, the Crown Princess."

Lily's voice outside the door interrupted the two of them, and then they heard the report, "Eunuch Liu came to the palace and asked the Crown Princess to come into the palace immediately. He said... the Queen Mother seemed to be unwell. ."

Nangong Yue was startled and exchanged glances with Xiao Yi. When he nodded, she said: "Lily, prepare a medicine box for me. I'll pack it up and leave."

Lily outside the door responded hurriedly, and Xiao Yize said: "Smelly girl, don't worry, I will go into the palace with you."

Nangong Yue held his hand and nodded.

The two of them followed Eunuch Liu into the palace quickly. Nangong Yue went to Changle Palace, but Xiao Yi was unable to enter the harem and could only wait for her outside.

As soon as they arrived in front of the gate of Changle Palace, a maid came up to her anxiously and said, "Concubine, you are finally here. Please go in with your servants."

Hurry into the main hall of Changle Palace. Behind the main hall is the Queen Mother's bedroom. The emperor is guarding the outer room, pacing back and forth uneasily. When he sees Nangong Yue not waiting for her to salute, he quickly shouts "Excuse me." And said: "Girl Yue, hurry in and take a look."

Nangong Yue finished the ceremony and quickly entered the inner room.

There were several basins of ice placed in the inner room, exuding bursts of coolness, not at all like being in the sweltering heat.

Nangong Yue's arrival attracted the attention of the imperial doctors. The imperial physician Zhengwu, who was familiar with Nangong Yue, hurried forward and said anxiously: "Concubine, do you want to check the Queen Mother's pulse first?"

Nangong Yue nodded and approached the Queen Mother's couch. She saw the old lady, who was relatively healthy in the past, lying there with her eyes closed tightly. Her face was pale, without any blood, and her forehead was covered with sweat. , the eldest palace maid Wan Xin is wiping her carefully.

Wan Xin took a step back and let Nangong Yue diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse.

After a while, Nangong Yue let go of her fingers and said to Imperial Physician Wu, "The Queen Mother should be suffering from summer heat."

"We also made the diagnosis in this way." Dr. Wu said with a sad face, "He prescribed a prescription based on the heat, but after one dose of medicine, the Queen Mother did not wake up, but her pulse became even weaker." Therefore, Wu The imperial doctor was also worried whether the diagnosis was wrong.

"It should be right." Nangong Yue said thoughtfully, "I would also like to ask Dr. Wu to show me the prescription."

Immediately someone handed over the prescription. Nangong Yue looked at it carefully and was about to speak when a figure broke in from outside and shouted urgently: "Mother."

"Your Highness the Princess."

Everyone in the inner room saluted, and the person who came was the eldest princess of Yuncheng.

"Girl Yue." As soon as Yuncheng saw Nangong Yue, he immediately rushed over, held her hand and said, "How is the queen mother?" As he spoke, he looked at the queen mother lying on the couch, tears already flowing down her face. It flowed down uncontrollably.

Nangong Yue held her hand comfortingly and said, "Yue'er is discussing the Queen Mother's condition with the imperial physician. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

"Yuncheng. Don't disturb Yue Yatou and the imperial doctor. Come with me and wait outside." The emperor also came in with Yuncheng, and after some good talk, he pulled her out.

Nangong Yue frowned slightly and said, "The Queen Mother is right in thinking it's because of the heat. It's just that in my opinion, the prescription you prescribed, Dr. Wu, is a bit harsh."
