For Xiao Ting, the palace has always been a place of right and wrong, and she stays away as long as she can, and every time she comes here, it seems like she is going to fight a tough battle, so she has to prepare her mentally in advance.
This time is no exception, but this time the opponent has been upgraded from a woman to a man.
But she never expected that the emperor would suddenly say such a sentence when he invited her into the palace.
"Ah what? I'm asking if you want to?"
Xiao Ting stood there, looking at the emperor on the throne, her mind was completely muddled.
Finally, she popped out four words, "Why?"
At the moment, not only the emperor was in the imperial study room, but also other important ministers, a few old men were sitting there whispering.
Xiao Ting just glanced at them and ignored them, because she didn't know any of them, she only knew that they were very old.
But at this moment, these old men no longer looked at Xiao Ting, but fell silent collectively.
"Miss Liu, the emperor is asking for your opinion."
The implication is that the emperor is asking you if you are willing, but it is actually giving you face, not really asking for your opinion, let alone a rhetorical question.
Let me ask who dares to ask the question today, this girl is really getting older.
But how could Xiao Ting know his level, she said in a daze, "I know, then I have to know the reason too!"
"Besides, Your Majesty, I don't know how to see a doctor, why do you want me to go to the Imperial Hospital?"
"Also, can women be doctors here? Aren't the imperial doctors all old men with white beards?"
A few old men with white beards were so angry that they only kept their beards, and wanted to kick her a few times, how could they talk like that.
But all of them could only stare angrily, because they saw the shadow that appeared and disappeared behind the screen.
The emperor was not angry either, and said bluntly with a smile: "The chief order of the imperial hospital thinks that you are hiding something, so I want you to be transferred there for a try."
"What? Hidden secrets? His brain is broken, why would he think I'm that kind of person?"
Hehe, after a while, the emperor and Miss Xiao Liu will not be able to chat any longer.
Finally helpless, the emperor shouted: "Xiao Jiu, come out."
Miss Xiao Liu, who had always been high-spirited, froze instantly when she saw the figure turning out from behind the screen, and she even stood up straight.
Before the Ninth Prince came over, Miss Xiao Liu suddenly raised her hand and said, "Well, Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Imperial Hospital."
"would you like?"
Xiao Ting nodded quickly, fearing that the emperor would regret it, and continued: "Of course, the emperor's decree, how can women dare to disobey, by the way, go to the imperial hospital to take care of food and lodging?"
The emperor's expression was calm, but there was a different look in his eyes. He glanced at the Ninth Prince, nodded with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
"Well, can I take office now?"
"Can."
"Yeah, thank you, Your Majesty."
Miss Xiao Liu jumped up and down, then looked at the Ninth Prince who had already walked in front of her, she was very excited, and said: "Well, the prince, the emperor's life is hard, please tell Xiao Shi and the others for me after you go back, saying that I have found a job, and I will earn money to support them in the future, so that they can study hard."
"Those old men, let's go!"
A few old men with white beards were so angry that they blew their beards and stared, but they only dared to quietly, and they all looked at the emperor when they were called.
The emperor smiled and waved his hand to signal them to leave with Xiao Ting.
As they were leaving, they heard Miss Xiao Liu muttering, "Old man, oh, no, we will be colleagues in the future, and we need to exchange names. By the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiao Ting, and I live in..."
The voice faded away, but the emperor laughed, "Xiao Jiu, this woman you like is really special."
The Ninth Prince did not deny it. It should be said that in front of everyone, he never denied that he liked Xiao Ting and cared about Xiao Ting.
But the person involved never took it seriously.
"However, I'm curious, why did you come up with such a reason to let the imperial physician order to keep her in the palace?"
The emperor laughed very disrespectfully, and was very gossip.
The Ninth Prince smiled lightly and said: "She misses the woman that Brother Huang likes."
"Forehead… "
The emperor was stunned, he just said that Xiao Ting was the woman the Ninth Prince liked, and immediately the Ninth Prince said that Xiao Lingyue was the woman he liked.
"When did you become so sharp." The emperor muttered to himself.
Then sighed: "The daughters of the Xiao family really have their own merits."
The Ninth Prince was noncommittal, he only recognized the Xiao family's wife.
"However, just to let her enter the palace, you can see Aifei at any time, even I use it, isn't it too much?"
The Ninth Prince raised his eyes and said calmly, "Isn't this exactly what Brother Huang wants?"
"Hey, Ninth Brother is really smart, no wonder the Queen Mother is so afraid of you!"
The emperor bluntly said that the Ninth Prince was also calm and did not reply, "What's the difficulty? If the emperor doesn't trust his ministers, he will send them to any place. The ministers should obey the order and never complain."
The emperor laughed and revealed the matter, "I just said it casually, are you really willing to leave me?"
After the Ninth Prince left, the side door of the imperial study room opened, the curtain was lifted, and a woman in palace attire walked in.
Wearing a phoenix robe, dignified and virtuous, she is not very old but has a proud character.
Her spiritual eyes turned lightly, and she revealed a little smile, which was both wanton and agile, and also had a terrifying majesty.
Behind her, two court ladies picked up their skirts and followed each other, and came to the royal case.
"emperor."
"Oh, it's the queen, why don't you come here when you're not in the harem to accompany your mother?"
The person who came was the newly promoted Princess Yuyue, who is now the empress of the empire.
The ornaments on the phoenix crown jingled, and matched with her skyly face, it was even more glamorous and moving.
Seeing this, the emperor smiled briskly, put down the imperial brush in his hand, and waved to her.
The queen waved her hands back, signaling the two maids to retreat, and the little eunuch who had been waiting in front of the imperial case also hurriedly retreated.
For a while, only the emperor and empress were left in the whole imperial study room.
"Your majesty, didn't you promise your mother to go to Ci'an Palace for lunch at noon? The mother asked her concubines to invite you."
"Oh, look at my memory, haha, my memory will not be good when I get older."
"Walk around, don't let the queen mother wait in a hurry."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When the concubine came earlier, it happened that Concubine Chen, Concubine Li and the others had gone to Ci'an Palace. They probably won't leave in a while."
"Then you..." the emperor sat back down again, and then pulled Moyue onto his lap with his wrists to sit down, and said softly, "Did you come here to miss me? En?"
The emperor put his hand on the chin of Moyue, groping lightly, his eyes were fixed, as if he was looking at something, or remembering something, but the depth was fleeting.
"Your Majesty." Mu Yue took a full view of it, squinted at him, and said, "I do have something I want to ask you."
She slid down from the emperor's lap and sat on the foot pad beside her. Then she raised her face and asked: "When Concubine Chen greeted my concubine today, she mentioned the marriage of the eldest prince. I don't know how to answer, and I even invite the concubine to teach my concubine."
"You can just ask the queen mother about this kind of thing."
"The queen mother asked the concubine to choose a woman with excellent moral character, and she promised it. However, the eldest prince has someone he likes, and you know it."
Mentioning this, the emperor's expression changed in an instant, "This bastard, whoever he likes, has to grab a woman from him, Uncle Jiu Wang, why can't I see what's so good about that girl from the Xiao family."
The emperor was very puzzled. From what he saw, Xiao Ting was just a crazy girl who was not afraid of anything. She didn't even have anything to do with women.
It doesn't matter if you don't know a few big characters, but you always cause trouble, keeping it by your side is like a bomb, and you don't know when it will pierce the sky, but you don't know it yourself.
I thought it was trouble to find her.
There are still people who like such troublesome spirits.
And this person, one is his most beloved younger brother, and the other is the eldest son whom he owes many years.
This made his jade face really useless.
"Why is this child so determined? You can ignore this matter for now and let Concubine Chen deal with it on her own."
What can he do, brother and son rob woman, what is he going to do
"Forget it, I won't go to my mother's place today, or I will have a headache again."
When the emperor thought about it like this, he felt a bit of a headache. Mo Yue immediately stepped forward, and pressed her slender hand directly on the emperor's temple, pressing gently, and slowly pushing it to the back of his head.
The technique is very skilled, down to the subtleties.
"The empress is still considerate." The emperor closed his eyes and patted Yueyue's hand.
Zhu Yue shook her head and said with a smile: "The Emperor has often had headaches recently, has the imperial physician checked it?"
"Look, those old guys are nothing more than what they said. They are too worried and over-thinking. Just rest for a few days."
The queen laughed softly, and said: "Emperor doctors, they always go back and forth with just a few words. It seems that there is nothing wrong with them. They have to say such words."
"hehe… "
The emperor half leaned on the dragon chair comfortably, and Mu Yue suddenly said inadvertently: "I heard that the emperor sent Miss Xiao Liu to the imperial hospital?"
"Well, that's what Xiao Jiu meant, and I don't know what the hell is going on."
"The concubine thinks that the sixth girl wants to come in and play by herself, so don't make any trouble."
Speaking of this, the emperor was clever, and suddenly thought of Xiao Ting's brilliant achievements, and felt sorry for her.
Besides, after Xiao Ting went out with those old men, she ran into Princess Zhaohua who was waiting for her outside.
Xiao Ting was very happy to tell Zhaohua that she had found a job, and she was very excited to take her to the Tai Hospital.
When Zhaohua heard this, she immediately clapped her hands and said hello, she hasn't been to that place yet.
They walked several times along the palace wall, and even turned many corners before they came to a gate.
"Huh?" They were stopped here, Xiao Ting looked up, there were some crooked characters on the door plate, which looked very ugly.
She stared at it for a while but couldn't make out what the word was.
It was Zhaohua who told her that this was the Imperial Hospital.
"People who are not from Taitai Hospital are not allowed to enter."
"Presumptuous, the little Tai Hospital dares to stop the princess. I insist on going in today. If you have the ability, you try to touch me?" Zhaohua snorted coldly. She had never been here before, and it was the first time in her life that someone blocked her from the door.
