After coming out of King Zhennan's outer study, Nangong Yue ordered Que'er to go to the concubine Wei to get the pair of cards.

The pair of cards is divided into the outer court and the inner court. According to the rules, the pair of cards in the outer court is held by the head of the family, while the pair of cards in the inner court is in the hands of the wife who presides over the ceremony. When Xiao Fang was still the princess, she was naturally in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace. After she went to Mingqing Temple to pray for blessings, the pair of cards was handed over to Wei. In the blink of an eye, it was more than a year ago.

The pair of cards can be said to be a symbol of power in the government. Ordinary people would not be willing to hand it over easily, but the Wei family is different. Before Que'er goes out, the Wei family's maid Peiyu has arrived over there. Bixiaotang handed over a rosewood box and opened it in front of the magpie. The pear wood sign inside had the words "Zhennan Prince's Mansion" written on it.

Peiyu said crisply: "Concubine, the prince sent someone to tell our concubine that the concubine and the eldest daughter are going to administer medicine. He asked the concubine to do his best to cooperate with the concubine and the eldest daughter. The concubine ordered the servant to take care of it. The cards are delivered."

Peiyu left. Queer held the rosewood box in his hand and felt it was heavy.

After a while, Manager Chu, who was in charge of the palace's purchasing, was called to the Xihong Hall of Bixiao Hall. Taking the prescription given by the Crown Princess and the warm pair of cards, he went to the accounting room to collect the money.

The fact that Concubine Wei handed the cards to the Crown Princess and that the prince ordered the Crown Princess to be responsible for applying medicine in the city spread in the palace in an instant.

A little maid ran into the kitchen panting and said to a middle-aged woman who was drinking rock sugar water inside: "Sister-in-law Liu, have you...have you heard?"

"Xia Chan, why are you whining like that? It's so hot. Let's drink some iced mung bean soup." The middle-aged woman was wearing a blue brocade trousers, she was fair and plump, and she looked a little blessed when she smiled.

Xia Chan glanced at the Liu family's sister-in-law with a half-smile, knowing that the other party was hiding. She didn't plan to complain anyway, so she drank the mung bean soup in one go, and then said mysteriously: "It's been hot recently, and the Crown Princess plans to use anti-heat medicine in the city. Just now, Concubine Wei has given her the right cards." The Crown Princess, now Manager Chu has taken money from the accounting office to buy medicine..." As she said this, she was speechless: Ouch, the palace is probably going to be in trouble again!

The Liu family's sister-in-law's attention was different from Xia Chan's. She pulled Xia Chan and asked: "Xia Chan, you said that the Crown Princess wants to give anti-summer medicine? Doesn't that mean that people need to boil the medicine by hand? Some say that it is done with Bi Are the manpower at Xiaotang still here?" If the manpower of the Wangfu is to be used, why don't the people in their kitchen escape this job? Oh my god, it’s such a hot day, and when others can’t escape the heat, she still has to boil medicine. Isn’t it going to kill her?

Xia Chan blinked. She just heard others chatting and hurried to the kitchen to show off the news. She shook her head blankly: "I haven't heard of that."

The Liu family's sister-in-law chewed her fingernails and said, "I have to tell Aunt Xu. I must not accept this job..."

"What do you know!" A crisp and crisp voice interrupted Liu's sister-in-law. The two of them followed the sound and saw a woman in her forties wearing a parrot green silk trousers standing at some point. The entrance to the kitchen.

Xia Chan hurriedly put down the bowl of mung bean soup with a little bit of mung bean soup left in her hand, and said with a dry smile: "Aunt Xu..."

Nanny Xu is the steward of the palace kitchen, so she is naturally somewhat majestic in the kitchen.

The Liu family's sister-in-law and Xia Chan were a little embarrassed for a while.

Nanny Xu glanced at the soup stain at the corner of Xia Chan's mouth and didn't care about it. There is no one who works in the kitchen who doesn't take an extra bite. Just don't go too far.

"Not only can we not push this errand off, we must also take the initiative..." Nanny Xu said slowly.

"Aunt Xu..." The Liu family's sister-in-law stared at her eyes and wanted to say, Aunt Xu, are you stupid? Nothing to do for yourself!

Nanny Xu glared at Liu's sister-in-law. This Liu's sister-in-law likes to be lazy and stupid. If she hadn't been good at her craftsmanship, Nanny Xu would have let her go home.

Nanny Xu looked around and lowered her voice: "What do you know?! Judging from what I've seen these days, it may not be that easy for Madam to regain the power of the family..." Madam had already lost her royal title. Now that she is not favored by the King of Zhennan, it is even more difficult to return the favor. In comparison, the Crown Prince's foothold in the palace and in southern Xinjiang is getting more and more stable, and she has the respect of the Crown Prince. Now even the Prince has She seems to have a tendency to look at her differently...

Nanny Xu pondered for a moment and then said: "The prince asked Concubine Wei to give the matching cards to the prince concubine. I am thinking that the prince may be planning to give the royal family's middle money to the prince concubine..."

Let the crown prince take charge of the palace? ! Xia Chan and Liu's sister-in-law looked at each other. They were surprised at first, but after thinking about it again, it was not impossible!

In the past, the prince had always disliked the prince and his concubine, and the prince also expressed his anger. However, if the prince changed his view on the prince, and the prince, the future mistress of the prince's palace, would be in charge of the palace's middle minister, wouldn't it be better than Wei Si? Is it justifiable for a concubine to come? !

Xia Chan looked at Nanny Xu with admiration, and thought to herself: Yes, if the imperial concubine really wants to hand over the gift, and they want to show their loyalty, then they have to hurry up! Once everyone else has thought about it, they will just follow the crowd, and how can they show their face to the Crown Princess! Aunt Xu is indeed Aunt Xu!

Nanny Xu straightened her clothes and said impatiently: "I will go to Bixiaotang to meet the Crown Princess..."

"Nanny Xu, let me go with you too." Xia Chan followed flatteringly.

Nanny Xu and Xia Chan left, leaving only the Liu family’s sister-in-law pouting boredly. Originally, it was hot in the summer, and the masters and slaves had average appetites. It was the best time to be lazy, but... Ah...hey, I'm afraid I'm going to lose a few pounds now.

Depressedly, the Liu family's sister-in-law served herself another bowl of iced mung bean soup and started drinking it guzzlingly. On the other side, Nanny Xu and Xia Chan also came to Bixiaotang to ask for an audience with the crown prince Nangong Yue.

Since Aunt Xu took the initiative to ask for help, Nangong Yue was not polite to her, and divided the task of brewing medicine between Aunt Xu and others and the Bixiaotang kitchen.

Aunt Xu did not cover it up deliberately. Especially after everyone in the palace learned that the Crown Princess had taken the right cards, they all watched what was going on in Bixiaotang. Aunt Xu’s move made the other stewards in the palace also commotion. got up.

The stewards and nuns from the sewing room, the kitchen and the laundry room rushed to Bixiaotang in an endless stream, and it was lively until the sun went down.

The matter naturally spread to the main courtyard. Let’s not mention how furious Xiao Fang was. She was given a grounding order and now she did not dare to offend King Zhennan anymore. She could only go crazy in her room. Smash things to vent your anger.

Starting from the second day, the kitchens of the Wang Mansion and Bixiaotang were filled with a strong smell of medicine. Aunt Xu specially ordered someone to set aside a stove to brew the anti-summer medicine, and also ordered Liu’s sister-in-law, Xia Chan and another daughter-in-law watched the stove boiling medicine.

This whole day, the palace is filled with the fragrance of medicine...

At noon that day, buckets of medicinal soup were moved outside the North City Gate - because of time constraints, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei discussed applying medicine in Xiao Fei's tea shop for the time being.

Que'er also followed Baihui. After working for a long time, he returned to the palace to report to his master at sunset. Baihui's boring gourd was reported in one sentence. The same thing was reported to Que'er. In his mouth, he said vividly:

"Prince Princess, eldest lady, our heat-relieving medicine is really life-saving medicine! Heat stroke is a big problem or a small one. Those ordinary people who suffer from heat stroke mostly have to endure it and scrape it. , waiting for it to recover on its own, even if it can't survive, there is no money to see a doctor... But recently, the eldest girl's tea shop has become known to everyone in the city. Those poor people will come here if they suffer from heatstroke. I asked for a few bowls of herbal tea at the tea shop. The people who came to beg for tea today saw that we were giving anti-summer medicine, so they came to beg for some to take back..."

Que'er became more and more excited as he talked, and continued: "When the slave girl first arrived, an old woman came to ask for medicine with her grandson in her arms. The grandson was the only child in their family. He had been suffering from heat stroke for several days. He had seen a doctor. It was still not healed, and everyone was already unconscious. After drinking a bowl of medicine from the imperial concubine, she woke up after a short time. It was so magical. The old woman kowtowed in front of the tea shop, saying that she wanted to stand up for the owner of the tea shop. Immortality tablet... The six large barrels of medicinal soup were finished within an hour, and those who didn't catch up said they would come back tomorrow to ask for medicine!"

Xiao Fei was fascinated by what she heard. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were shining. It felt good that what she did could benefit the people!

"Sister-in-law, let's go there and take a look tomorrow?" Xiao Fei suggested enthusiastically.

Nangong Yue smiled and responded: "Okay."

Xiao Fei's eyes shone brightly and she added: "Sister-in-law, it seems that the six barrels of medicinal soup are still a little short. I'm thinking of asking the kitchen to add four more barrels later. I'll cook them up tonight, and they will be added one after another tomorrow morning. Just send it over... Manager Chu seems to have to purchase another batch of medicinal materials. If the father's thousand taels of silver are not enough, we can ask the father for more... It's only late June now, and it's still hot. It was last two or three months!"

Xiao Fei was talking eloquently and already had her own opinions. Nangong Yue listened with a smile and agreed from time to time, and then ordered to go down and say that because of the hot weather recently, anyone in the house who helps with the application of medicine should Double the monthly payment.

For a time, the servants were all happy and their morale was even higher.

Early in the morning the next day, after finishing the trivial matters regarding the middle-class transfer, Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei from the East Street Gate to the tea shop at the North City Gate.

By the time they arrive, it will be only half past Chen hour, and the sun will not be too bright yet.

But the tea shop was already overcrowded, men and women huddled together in front of the tea shop, and there were more people rushing towards the tea shop anxiously at the city gate.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" An old woman hurriedly called to another middle-aged woman, "Sister-in-law of the Yu family said that there are not many anti-heat medicines. If it is late, there will be no more! You lazy woman is always doing things Dilly-dallying..."

The middle-aged woman was panting, holding up her skirt and quickening her pace, and said nonchalantly: "Mom, it's not the time yet, so it shouldn't be..." When she saw the crowd huddled in front of the tea shop, she said Can't go down anymore.

In the tea shop, a girl in a green dress shouted loudly to the people: "Don't crowd, everyone, please line up to get it! There are still some heat-relieving medicines..."

The girl in Tsing Yi walked out of the tea shop, shouting and trying to maintain order with a plump woman, but there were too many people, the people in front were still queuing, and the queue behind was in chaos...

The girl in Tsing Yi took the trouble to say to the people who were asking for medicine: "Don't crowd, please line up to get it..."

I don’t know how many times she said it, but she suddenly fell silent and was attracted by a green-covered carriage not far away. No, or rather, she was attracted by the two young women who got off the carriage.

One of the two girls is dressed as a woman, and the other is a girl waiting to be married. They both have clear eyes, calm and elegant smiles, they are very noble and extraordinary...

The girl in Tsing Yi looked straight at the two girls. The plump woman beside her walked quickly towards the opposite side. She was introduced to the tea shop by Taoyao. Naturally, she knew Taoyao next to Xiao Fei and knew that she was the one who came to the tea shop. The master is here.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei did not want to attract unnecessary attention, so Tao Yao stopped the woman from saluting in time.

Nangong Yue glanced at the girl in Tsing Yi. Her beautiful face and calm temperament made her stand out among a group of ordinary women in Tsing Yi. The problem was——

Why is she here? !

Xiao Fei keenly noticed Nangong Yue's attention to the girl in green and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you recognize that girl?"

Although Xiao Fei asked about Nangong Yue, the plump woman became even more nervous and replied awkwardly: "That Miss Ye came on the order of the prince..."

Father’s orders? ! Xiao Fei was confused when she heard this. Her father never cared about such "little things", so why did he specially order a strange girl to come here?

Nangong Yue was still looking at Ye Yili, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

Speaking of which, she didn’t actually know this Ye Yili in her last life. However, after Ye Yinming won the first prize, he posted a touching memorial to his deceased sister and denounced Xiao, who was already the King of Zhennan at the time. Yi was selfish and cruel, and used loan money to persecute the people and destroy their families.

It was also at that time that Nangong Yue learned that Ye Yili had sold herself into the drunken flower house in order to treat her brother's illness and study. Later, in order not to damage her brother's reputation and future, she ran into a wall and died.

It is precisely because of this that Nangong Yue used to think that Ye Yili valued love and justice, was fierce and decisive, and had a somewhat admirable integrity.

But looking at Ye Yili now, I remember the scene when Ye Yili came to Bixiaotang to look for her that day, and the time when she took the initiative to resign from Hua Yan in the royal capital... Nangong Yue couldn't help but feel that Ye Yili was a little too campy. , maybe she is not what she thinks...

After all, the truth about the past life is actually unknown.

Sharp and intelligent Ye Yili also felt the scrutiny in Nangong Yue's eyes and looked over without hesitation.

Although she is not as rich and glorious as Nangong Yue, she can still find a beautiful path based on her own ability. My brother is very talented. When he is named on the gold list in the coming days, Nangong Yue will definitely regret treating him like this!

Nangong Yue withdrew her gaze, turned to Xiao Fei and spoke.

Ye Yili did not come forward to say hello. She originally wanted to treat Nangong Yue as a friend, but that day she saw that in Nangong Yue's eyes, she was no more than a servant.

That’s right, she is just a commoner’s daughter, how can she be on an equal footing with the royal concubine? She is also too wishful thinking...

Ye Yili turned around and was about to go back to the tea shop when she heard a burst of noise coming from the official road not far away.

She followed the sound and looked over, only to see seven or eight ragged men, women, and children walking towards the city gate, stumbling. The men were carrying young children on their backs, and the women were holding six or seven-year-old children in their hands. child.

Looking at their ragged and dusty appearance, I knew they must be refugees.

In the past few days, many refugees have come to Luoyue City one after another. Because Luoyue City has properly resettled them, there has been no incident of the refugees stealing, hurting or disturbing the people, so the people are not surprised. At this moment Just took a second look.

At this moment, a woman's shrill scream suddenly came from among the refugees: "Zhuzi! Wake up, Zhuzi, don't scare your mother!"

The woman's gray dress was full of patches, and her cheeks were so thin that they were sunken. She knelt on the ground and looked nervously at the boy lying softly on her knees.

It seems that the boy fainted. I don’t know whether it was fatigue, hunger, or illness...

Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and hurriedly called for a woman who was accompanying him, and ordered: "Go and help the child to the tea shop, feed him some anti-summer medicine first, and then get some cold water and food. ..."

Ye Yili reacted faster. Before Nangong Yue finished speaking, she had already taken a bowl of herbal tea from the tea shop, holding the herbal tea with an anxious expression, and trotted towards the fainted child.

"Sister-in-law," Ye Yili smiled slightly, and soothed the woman in gray kindly and gently, "don't worry, the child will be fine soon after he drinks the herbal tea."

As she spoke, she knelt on the hot ground. She gently supported the child's shoulders and back of the head with one hand, and put the bowl of herbal tea to the child's mouth with her other hand. Next, carefully feed him herbal tea...

The scorching sun was shining brightly, and the golden sunshine filled the entire official road and also shone on Ye Yili's body. Her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of pale golden halo, and her jade-like skin seemed to be glowing...

Tap tap tap...

The sound of horse hoofbeats came from the direction of the city gate, and two horses galloped out of the city. The leading red horse was a majestic middle-aged man, wearing a purple embroidered silk robe, who was the King of Zhennan.

The King of Zhennan saw Ye Yili's slim and tall figure from a distance. Seeing her concentrating on taking the decoction for the sick child, he couldn't help but slow down his horse, looked at her beautiful profile, and sighed in his heart: Miss Ye is filial. Grandmother, friendly brother, and so kind-hearted, she is indeed a wonderful woman as beautiful as an orchid and a lotus!

At this time, the mother-in-law also walked up to the woman in gray and the child, and said politely: "Miss Ye, the sun is poisonous today, so let the slave carry the child to the tea shop first. ”

"No need, I'll just come." Ye Yili knelt there without moving out of the way, saying gently but firmly, "This child has suffered from heatstroke and is feeling unwell. It's better not to move around for now. After he gets better, I'll Feed him some more medicine..."

"Miss Ye..." The woman's eyes twitched. She was not afraid of stupid people, but afraid of smart people being self-righteous.

The mother-in-law knew that Ye Yili was personally ordered by the prince to come here to help, and she did not want to offend her. However, she had no choice but to offend her after receiving the order from the imperial concubine, "Miss Ye, the person who is suffering from the heat should be helped to the shade first. place, and then perform treatment.”

People of some ages actually know this truth. The mother of the child, the woman in gray, was confused for a moment and did not react. She hurriedly said to the mother-in-law: "What this eldest sister said is, yes. Hurry up and hug the pillar to avoid the sun..."

Ye Yili showed a hint of embarrassment, but since the child's mother had spoken out, she could only stand up and take a step back. The woman picked up the boy and hurried to the tea shop.

At the same time, King Zhennan slowly rode his horse to Ye Yili's side, just in time to meet Ye Yili's eyes as she stood up.

Ye Yili was a little surprised and quickly said: "I have met the prince."

The King of Zhennan who was on the horse smiled at Ye Yili, jumped down easily, and threw the horse rope to the long follower behind him.

The King of Zhennan was about to help Ye Yili up, but he immediately realized something was wrong, raised his hand and said: "Miss Ye, no courtesy."

Ye Yili smiled and stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nangong Yue, who was not far away, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she saw this scene. She felt a little enlightened when she remembered what Que'er had learned last time about Ye Yinming's appointment as the palace secretary.

In her previous life, Ye Yili was willing to sell herself for her brother. Will she be willing to be a concubine for her brother in this life?

This is really interesting...

Nangong Yue curled her lips slightly, the palace seemed to be bustling again!

At the same time, when Ye Yili called out the word "Prince", the surroundings couldn't help but become silent. There is only one person in the entire southern Xinjiang who can be called the Prince——

King of Zhennan!
