The Favoured Medical Princess: 398 Concubine (three updates)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
After coming out of Linzhai, Xiao Yi took the prepared herbal tea and prescriptions and planned to go to Luoyue City Camp. He needed to discuss with Tian He and several military doctors about preparing medicine. This was not just about preparing medicine; It involves military pay.
For the army under Xiao Yi, Tian He could only rely on his old face to get the most basic military pay from the King of Zhennan, but this was just to ensure that some basic training and food and grass would not be interrupted. It's up to Xiao Yi to pay for it himself.
This herbal tea sounds cheap, but if you have to support an army of tens of thousands of people, it is not so cheap.
Obviously, King Zhennan would never pay for this amount of military pay.
Xiao Yi originally thought that he could make money. He had just returned to southern Xinjiang and had not made any money yet, so he had to spend it abroad... Xiao Yi couldn't help but secretly think about selling the gifts he received yesterday. How much money can be exchanged for...
Thinking about it gave him a headache, so Xiao Yi simply didn't bother to think about it. He told Nangong Yue, ordered the guards to protect him, and then rode to the military camp.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei took the same carriage back home.
On the carriage, Xiao Fei, who had been taking medicine for a long time, had a peach blossom-like blush on her face. She seemed to be a little less cold than usual and a little more full of vitality and fireworks.
"Sister-in-law, I feel like it's getting hotter today. Originally, I wanted to take it slow and wait until the end of May before applying the herbal tea, but now I think I have to do it earlier." Xiao Fei said coherently, "Sister-in-law, there are more merchants and passers-by at Beicheng Gate. I want to set up a stall outside Beicheng Gate first..."
Xiao Fei is obviously very concerned about the herbal tea service this time. Now when it comes to the regulations, she is very clear about it.
Nangong Yue thought for a while and said: "It's better to set up a tea room. If the herbal tea needs to be served for a long time, you can't bring it after brewing it at home every time. Firstly, you may not have enough time, and secondly, you will have to go back and forth. It's a bit too troublesome. If there is a tea house, you can make tea in the tea house's compartment and serve it outside. This will be a lot more convenient. Moreover, in summer time, the sun will probably be more poisonous. The teahouse can also provide a place for people to take a rest."
"Sister-in-law is right!" Xiao Fei looked at her with admiration, feeling that her sister-in-law was really smart, but it was a pity that she married a stupid brother!
"Sister Fei, I also want to join in. What do you think?"
"Okay!" Xiao Fei said happily, "Of course it's good for my sister-in-law to come with me."
Nangong Yue smiled and said, "When I get back, I'll ask Huamei to give you five hundred taels of silver notes."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Xiao Fei was worried that her one hundred taels of silver would not be enough, but now she is better!
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Fei immediately thought that her sister-in-law was actually afraid that she didn't have enough money, so she wanted to supplement her money by making contributions. Thinking back to the day when she told her mother that she wanted to give herbal tea, her mother just thought she was stupid and kept saying that since she was the eldest daughter of the royal family, she should be rich and noble. Those untouchables who didn't suffer from heat stroke had nothing to do with her.
At that time, Xiao Fei's heart became cold and she resigned without further commenting on her thoughts.
In contrast, her sister-in-law not only accompanied her to buy medicinal materials, but also changed her prescriptions and tried herbal teas, and now she also wants to supplement her money...
Sister-in-law is so nice!
While speaking, the speed of the carriage began to slow down. The two of them thought that it was almost time to arrive at the palace, but who knew that the carriage stopped completely right after them.
Baihui opened the curtain and was about to ask the coachman when she heard the coachman outside say with a troubled face: "Miss Baihui, there are many people surrounding the palace gate, and the carriage cannot pass for a while..."
Baihui frowned slightly, the Zhennan Palace is the local emperor of southern Xinjiang, is it possible that there are still people who dare to come to the Palace to cause trouble?
She turned to Nangong Yue and said, "Prince Concubine, please go down and take a look."
Nangong Yue slightly nodded: "Go."
Baihui got off the carriage and saw people crowded around the palace gate, pointing and whispering.
Baihui squeezed her way into the crowd with difficulty when she heard a delicate voice coming from the front: "Brother, please do it! Let me meet Miss Xiao. I brought my child here specially to give birth to Miss Xiao today." The girl is serving tea! I will definitely respect Miss Xiao and Mr. Fang from now on!"
What is this? ! Baihui finally squeezed into the center of the crowd, but she saw a slim woman in Tsing Yi and a three or four-year-old girl kneeling at the door of the palace. The girl was crying...
The concierge looked embarrassed, and Baihui was about to step forward to ask what was going on, but she saw Nanny Qi hurried out and said to the concierge: "Let that woman come in... How unbecoming is this!"
Immediately, three big-bodied women came out and half-draged and half-dragged the woman and the girl into the palace through the corner gate.
The onlookers still refused to disperse, whispering to each other excitedly:
"What the **** is going on?"
"Then you still can't tell, the eldest daughter of the palace must be engaged to that Mr. Fang, and that Mr. Fang already has a concubine as a companion!"
"So Miss Xiao can't tolerate people?"
"Hey, there is only one concubine left and right. Miss Xiao is too hard to think about it, right?"
"..."
At this time, the concierge had already come out and shouted arrogantly: "Why don't you all disperse quickly! Where is this place? Is this a place where you can just watch?"
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Baihui returned to the carriage.
The carriage continued to move forward with a clicking sound and entered the East Street gate. In the carriage, Baihui reported what she had just seen and heard.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone in the carriage fell on Xiao Fei.
After hearing Baihui say that Xiuer kept talking about "Miss Xiao", Taoyao was almost mad. Her face turned green and white with anger, and she said to Xiao Fei: "Girl, she..." Could it be that Young Master Fang in her mouth is Young Master Lei Biao?" The marriage between Young Master Lei Biao and the girl has not yet been revealed, but Madam seems to have some interest. This person named Xiu'er came to the gate of the palace to cause trouble. What's going on? ! After being teased like this by Xiu'er, how can the girl get married in the future?
Tao Yao looked at Xiao Fei worriedly. Xiao Fei's face didn't look good either. She felt ashamed, angry, and annoyed. She had always been an upright person, but she didn't want to be implicated by Fang Shilei just to keep her name clean for the rest of her life!
Nangong Yue also looked slightly cold, remembering that she had indeed investigated that Fang Shilei had raised an outside wife and an actor. Unexpectedly, this woman actually gave birth to a child, and she dared to bring the child to the palace. She was indeed very scheming. .
"Sister Fei, let's go back home first." Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei's hand and comforted her.
The two of them did not go through the main entrance of the palace, but bypassed the East Street gate and entered Bixiaotang.
When he got off the carriage, he saw Bai Zhou already waiting there.
As soon as he saw his master coming back, Bai Zhou rushed up to him with a pale face and said, "Girl, just now, just now..." Bai Zhou was extremely embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
Nangong Yue said seriously: "We probably already know the matter. Bai Zhou, do you know who that woman is? Where are she and the child now?"
Bai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "Concubine, I don't know who the woman is. She and the child were taken to the madam's yard."
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei and said, "it's best to resolve this matter quickly. Let's go to our mother's place to meet her!"
Xiao Fei's face was stiff, because she was angry, and her hands on her sides were tightly clenched into fists. Hearing this, she nodded and said: "Okay..."
After all, Xiao Fei was still young, and she had been living in a boudoir before. She only played music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, and did not do anything outside her body. Nowadays, it is rare to not lose your composure when encountering such a thing.
Nangong Yue held her slightly stiff arm and said softly: "Don't worry, it's okay. If you don't want to go, don't go and wait here for me to come back."
Xiao Fei bit her lower lip and gritted her teeth: "No! I'm going, I'm going to see what's going on!"
"That's good."
Nangong Yue said nothing more. In her opinion, since this matter was related to Xiao Fei, it was best for Xiao Fei to face it in person.
Nangong Yue took her from Bixiaotang to Xiao Fang's courtyard. As soon as they entered the main courtyard, they saw the woman and the girl in green kneeling under the willow tree in the courtyard. Nanny Qi was standing in front of the mother and daughter. In the front, he scolded with disdain: "...what do you think you are, just a toy, just for the pleasure of young cousin, and you dare to come to the palace to make trouble and destroy the reputation of the palace and my girl! Do you know Knowing that our wife will crush you to death is like crushing an ant to death..."
"This mama, I really don't have any extravagant expectations. I kowtow to you. I just want to see Miss Xiao, give her a greeting and propose a cup of tea." And the woman kept kowtowing to the ground. He raised his head and weighed it. After a while, his forehead was bruised and purple, and blood was faintly oozing out. The blood was mixed with the sand, and he looked pitiful.
But she was facing Aunt Qi. She sneered and was about to scold her again when she saw two familiar figures walking into the courtyard. She was dumbfounded: "Prince Concubine, eldest lady..." how so? The eldest girl and the Crown Princess had not left the palace early in the morning, so why did they come back at this time?
Hearing this, a strange light flashed in the woman's eyes. She turned around and looked at Xiao Fei and Nangong Yue. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old and had a beautiful face. Her face was not extremely beautiful, but her skin was delicate. Flawless, with skin as creamy as white and rosy inside, almost whiter and flawless than the fine mutton-fat jade, and a pair of misty black eyes that look fragile and pitiful.
The woman didn't know Xiao Fei at all, but when she heard the name of Nanny Qi and saw that one of the people coming had a woman's hair style, and the other was from the girl's house, she immediately identified her.
"Miss Xiao," the woman quickly rushed towards Xiao Fei's thigh and shouted miserably, "please be kind to me, please give the slave and the child a way to live!"
"Mom!" The girl cried loudly, her round little face turned red from crying, and she looked extremely pitiful.
Xiao Fei was so startled by the woman's wolf-like attack that she couldn't recover for a moment. If she were an ordinary girl, she would probably be succeeded by the other party, but there was Baihui next to Xiao Fei. Hui struck out like lightning, grabbed the collar of the woman's neck, pushed her aside unceremoniously, and warned in a cold voice: "Just speak, don't touch her!"
Nanny Qi was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. If this **** were to collide with the eldest girl, the madam might be furious!
With a glance from Aunt Qi, two people were immediately on standby, one on the left and one on the right, looking at the woman with a smile on her face, ready to go up and catch her at any time.
Nangong Yue looked at the woman coldly. She probably knew what the other party was playing. She flicked her sleeves and said lightly: "I don’t know who this girl is. She wants to see the eldest girl in my family. There needs to be a taboo. Does the girl think that cats and dogs can meet the eldest daughter of our palace?"
The woman fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, with a flash of shame in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and quickly calmed down. She knelt pitifully beside the girl, hugged her and started crying: "Girl, my name is Xiu'er. This is my daughter. Xiaolian. Miss, I have been with Young Master Fang for five years. I have served you wholeheartedly all these years. I just want to be by your side and don’t dare to have any extravagant hopes. I know that Young Master will marry Miss Xiao soon, so I also I don’t dare to compete with Miss Xiao for favor. I just ask that Miss Xiao can give me a status. I will definitely serve the young master and Miss Xiao with all my heart in the future!”
"Mr. Fang?" Nangong Yue asked, still smiling slightly, "I wonder which Mr. Fang it is?"
Xiu'er lowered her eyes shyly and timidly, and said in a voice like a mosquito's moan, "It's the sixth young master of the Fang family."
The sixth young master of the Fang family is Fang Shilei!
