Eunuch Kang and Wang Jixian returned to the palace and immediately reported to Zhao Deji.
Zhao Deji asked: "What's Hua Rong's real situation?"
Wang Jixian said: "It is strange that Mrs. Yue recovered from her illness. She only said that it was because of the use of Ganoderma lucidum and tiger bones."
He pondered for a moment: "Is it possible that Hua Rong's injury was not that serious at that time?"
Hua Rong's injury was diagnosed by Wang Jixian himself. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to talk back now? Although he was also surprised and doubtful, he said decisively: "I personally diagnosed and treated her. At that time, she was indeed almost dead."
Zhao Deji relied entirely on Wang Jixian's medicine to treat his condition, and no medicine from any other medical officer would be enough. He trusted him almost more than any other concubine. Seeing him like this, he stopped asking and just said: "What elixir did she take?" Wonderful medicine?”
Wang Jixian naturally refused to admit that there was a doctor who was better than him in the world, so he confidently said: "Since I have been practicing medicine, I have seen thousands of difficult and complicated diseases. There is no magic cure for Mrs. Yue. She probably took a lot of medicine." Once the Ganoderma lucidum absorbs its essence, there is a possibility of recovery."
Eunuch Kang interjected: "Although Mrs. Yue has recovered, she is still a disabled person. She is pitiful..."
Wang Jixian saw the emperor's look and hurriedly told what Zhao Deji wanted to know most, "Mrs. Yue's pulse is disordered and there is no possibility of having children in her lifetime."
"My servant saw that she was extremely desperate and was afraid that Lord Yue would take a concubine, so he cried bitterly. It is really pitiful for a woman to be in such a state."
Zhao Deji didn't know whether he was happy or pitiful. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really pitiful for Rong'er to be like this. However, Yue Pengju has publicly admitted in the palace that he will be monogamous in his life. How can I allow him to let Rong'er down?"
The two people immediately understood that the emperor's move was to stop Yue Pengju's idea of "taking concubines to continue his incense". This dynasty prevented generals from losing their tails, just like eunuchs. The reason why they were trusted by the emperor was because they had no heirs. Under normal circumstances, they thought that Eunuchs will not have ambitions to rebel. But if you want to trust a general, the best thing is for him to have no heirs or descendants.
Zhao Deji ordered: "Send the order and reward Rong'er with some more elixirs."
"yes."
On the eve of Princess Tianwei's wedding, Hua Rong was invited to visit.
In addition to Tianwei and Wanwan, there is also the current Queen Mother present. The Queen Mother is the deposed queen of Zhezong. During the Jingkang disaster, she escaped because she practiced medicine outside the palace. Later, she personally wrote an edict to make Zhao Deji ascend the throne. It was not until Lin'an was established as the capital that She was just taken back to the palace, but in order to avoid causing trouble, she lived alone in the Qing Dynasty outside the palace.
The Queen Mother had no children, and her nephew, Zhao Deji, had always been filial to her after he came to the throne. However, after witnessing his nephew's actions and knowing that he wanted to revive the Song Dynasty, it was inevitable that he would have a dream. After Tianwei returned to China, she did not want to stay in the palace for a long time. Concubine Pan Xian, Wu Jinnu and others went around, so they accepted her as their aunt and stayed with her day and night, treating her like their own mother.
This was the first time Hua Rong saw the Queen Mother and she hurriedly saluted. The Queen Mother looked at her carefully and saw that although she was thin, she had oval cheeks and slender eyebrows. The ancients paid attention to facial appearance, which was the sign of good fortune in the photo books. She Immediately said: "No need to be polite." Tianwei helped Hua Rong up personally, and the Queen Mother showed a smile: "The Ai family heard that Tianwei and Wanwan mentioned Mrs. Yue many times, and now that we meet her today, her reputation is well-deserved."
Hua Rong suddenly fell in love with the old Queen Mother, and pulled her gently, chirping: "Sister Hua, do you know? That evil woman Wang Junhua has not shown up..."
"ah?"
"Qin Hui had a sore on his back. He complained of illness and went to recuperate outside the capital. It was Wang Jixian who diagnosed and treated it."
Hua Rong was secretly surprised. What kind of big sore did Qin Hui have at this time
Tianwei frowned: "Wang Junhua, an evil woman, disturbed the palace. It feels clean without seeing her. I hope Brother Ninth will never have contact with her again..."
Naturally, the Queen Mother had already learned about Wang Junhua's actions through Tianwei and others. She saw her two nieces were filled with indignation, but Hua Rong only listened silently, nodded secretly, and then said slowly: "Tianwei, Wanwan, you two listen Okay. The customs of this dynasty are not as open as those of the Tang Dynasty, and women's family members are strictly prohibited from intervening in politics. Fortunately, Brother Ninth takes good care of the three of us. You two don't need to comfort Brother Ninth to avoid causing trouble. You only need to keep silent. That's it. Maintain long-lasting prosperity and wealth.”
As she spoke, she looked at Hua Rong meaningfully.
Hua Rong was silent. When the Queen Mother saw her eyes, she smiled and said, "I'm tired, Aijia will go and rest first."
Qin Mansion.
This is an imperial palace less than a hundred miles away from the capital. It was a place given by the emperor to Qin Hui to recuperate.
At night, the lights were on in the study early. Wang Junhua couldn't bear the loneliness. He walked into the study bitterly, grabbed a few strands of Qin Hui's yellow beard, and said angrily: "Old man, you don't enjoy the glory and wealth of the capital, so you are hiding here to pretend." What disease is it causing me to suffer in this deserted place with you..."
Qin Hui said hurriedly: "Madam, there is no need to be anxious. In such days, it won't be long before you can become the hostess of the feast again, and you will be the first hostess with absolute glory... "
"real or fake?"
As soon as Qin Hui received Gao Yigong's order, he immediately pretended to be sick and asked for leave. Wang Junhua was a woman and could not see through the mystery, so he disagreed: "The fourth prince is not asking you to resign."
"Although I can't fully guess the Fourth Prince's plan, it is definitely beneficial to take leave at this time. Madam, please be patient. Maybe, after passing this level, there will be great wealth waiting for us."
Wang Junhua was overjoyed and grabbed Qin Hui's beard again: "Old ghost, what's the mystery? Tell me quickly..."
Qin Hui was pulled so hard that his jaw almost broke, and his mouth twisted in pain: "Old man, tell me right away, tell me right away..."
While it was getting busy, I heard three gentle knocks on the door. It was the voice of the old housekeeper: "Master..."
Wang Junhua hurriedly went to open the door and saw Gao Yigong leading an envoy. He hurriedly asked respectfully: "What are the orders of the Fourth Prince?"
Gao Yigong took out a small box. Wang Junhua was overjoyed to see that the fourth prince actually remembered to bring a gift for him. He opened it and saw that it was a set of jewelry. He immediately saluted: "Thank you so much, fourth prince. If the fourth prince has orders, he will obey them no matter what."
Gao Yigong smiled and said: "Why do you two need to go through fire and water? Just enjoy your honor and dignity."
"We don't have to do anything?"
"It is a great achievement for Mr. Qin to successfully apply for leave."
Qin Hui asked someone to come up with 100 coins and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gao."
Gao Yigong accepted it happily and was about to leave. Wang Junhua stopped him, looked at the gift given to him by the fourth prince, and said with a smile: "Does the fourth prince have any other instructions?"
Gao Yigong shook his head.
Wang Junhua was a little disappointed and asked unwillingly: "What about what to do with that bitch Hua Rong?"
"The fourth prince said that it is up to the madam to act expediently."
Wang Junhua was surprised and delighted by this sentence of "acting cheaply", but Gao Yigong said: "Hua Rong colluded with King Qin to humiliate the fourth prince. The fourth prince hated him deeply and would personally execute the culprit, so Mrs. Qin won't bother... "
The incident of Jin Wushu being teased by the King of Qin happened after Qin Hui returned to the Song Dynasty. Wang Junhua did not know about this past. Gao Yigong did not hide it and told the story in summary. Wang Junhua clapped his hands and was filled with indignation: "How dare you collude with this bitch?" The adulterer who teased the fourth prince like this deserves death. Yelu Guanyin, a bitch, also deserves to die well. Her evil offspring really deserve to be fed to wild dogs. Alas, the fourth prince is so kind-hearted that he even tolerates this. Shameless **wife…”
In her mind, the fourth prince has always been the noblest god and noblest master. Especially after returning to the Song Dynasty, Qin Hui was weak, and Zhao Deji was a silver pewter spear head that was not worth mentioning. He didn't look as good as the fourth prince. Hearing him being humiliated, I really felt "empathy". Not only did he hate Yelu Guanyin deeply, he also secretly made up his mind that if Hua Rong dared to insult the fourth prince like this, he would definitely find a way to deal with her and make a big sacrifice for the fourth prince. tone.
Seeing her resentment, Gao Yigong added: "The fourth prince wants to experience the joy of killing his enemies with his own hands, and my wife does not need to interfere."
"The slave family has its own plans, sir, don't worry."
After Gao Yigong and others left, Wang Junhua said bitterly: "My biggest wish now is to quickly solve the thorn in the side of Hua Rong and Yue Pengju."
Old God Qin Hui was here: "If things go as I predict, let alone getting rid of Yue Pengju and Hua Rong, even if you want to get rid of Tianwei, a thorn in your side, it will be easy."
When King Qin and others rushed to the capital, it was the wedding day of Princess Tianwei, the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty.
The consort belonged to the Gao family, a wealthy family outside the city. His name was Gao Rong, and his mother was a daughter of the Chai family, the largest wealthy family in the Song Dynasty.
There are dozens of Zhao Deji brothers and sisters. After the Jingkang disaster, all their relatives were lost, leaving only their sister who had gone through the disaster. They wanted to use this happy event to cheer up the people of the Song Dynasty and unite the people of the south. At the wedding, they He never treated her poorly.
The emperor's betrothal gift to the consort included a jade belt, boots, dust scepter, saddle, a hundred red horses, a hundred pairs of silverware, a hundred clothes, a betrothal gift of 10,000 taels of silver, and a luxurious mansion on the outskirts of the city.
The dowry items were even more unambiguous, including nine colorful golden pheasants decorated with pearls, a phoenix crown with four phoenixes, a gorgeous dress embroidered with pheasants, a pearl and jade pendant, a gold leather belt, and a jade dragon crown. Shou jade ring, northern pearl crown flower comb ring, seven treasure crown flower comb ring, pearl coat, half-sleeved top, pearl emerald collar four-season clothes, pearl-embedded goldware, gold-painted wares, gold-plated wares, gold-plated rides when traveling Items such as sedan chairs, as well as embroidered gold curtains, furnishings, mats, carpets, screens and other items.
On this day, Princess Tianwei wore a crown with nine phoenixes and four phoenixes, a wedding dress embroidered with a long-tailed pheasant, and light red sleeves. She sat on a sedan without a barrier. Concubine Pan Xian led a group of concubines to the palace gate in person.
In front of the bride's sedan chair is the astronomical official, the dowry items and servants that should be equipped according to the status of the princess, twenty pairs of candles and lanterns, corresponding envoys, eight boys with hairpins on their heads, four square fans, four round fans, There were ten pots of flowers and twenty lanterns, walking and sitting barriers. There were double fences on both sides of the princess. Behind the princess were the relatives and Wanwan, Hua Rong and others who were seeing off the bride.
This was her request. She had suffered too much. Even though she was a wealthy person, there was no one she could truly trust around her. Therefore, she unknowingly got closer to Wanwan and Hua Rong and sincerely requested them. They sent each other off. Naturally, the two of them would not refuse. Even Hua Rong, who had never joined in the fun, immediately agreed.
At this time, the prince-in-law Gao Rong was already waiting at Donghua Gate on his tall horse. This was the first time Tianwei saw him. She saw him riding a saddle bridle with a pattern of gold-painted lychee flowers and a seat made of golden monkey fur. The horse on the mat holds a whip woven from silk threads, and holds a three-shaped umbrella on its head. A royal band of fifty people plays music in front of it. Although the expression on its face is nervous, it also shows that it is talented. He is carrying wild geese, coins, silk, etc. As a betrothal gift (the wild geese are believed to be loyal birds by the ancients), his eyes came into contact with Tianwei, and he was surprised by the beautiful face under the phoenix crown. He was even more panicked, and hurriedly saluted, and then guided the princess's sedan chair around the main streets of the capital. , let the common people see the beauty of the princess.
The streets of Lin'an were already crowded with people. On the central avenue, the astronomical officer who opened the road threw dried fruits to passers-by from a distance, and the onlookers laughed and fought for them on both sides.
Tianwei sat nervously in the sedan, under the phoenix crown, her face flushed with embarrassment. The crowds on both sides exclaimed from time to time: "The princess is so beautiful..."
