Nine hundred and fortieth chapters calculation (a)
Empress Dowager Yu has been lying in bed to recuperate. Zhao Yuanshi and two other imperial doctors take turns guarding Fulin Palace every day.
What a coincidence, it is the envoy Zhao Yuan who is on duty today.
Envoy Zhao is Empress Dowager Yu's "confidant". He has contact with Yu Qiao from time to time and is quite familiar with her.
Yu Qiao came to see the envoy Zhao in private. The envoy Zhao did not think too much and said with a smile: "Why is Miss Yu Qiao here? But the Queen Mother is unwell?"
Yu Qiao responded briefly: "That's not true."
What follows is really hard to say.
However, Yu Qiao did not dare to disobey Queen Mother Yu's orders.
Yu Qiao calmed down and whispered a few words.
Zhao Yuanshi has been in Taiyuan Hospital for many years and has seen a lot of privacy in the palace. Hearing such unexpected instructions, he kept his expression and only asked in a low voice: "When do you want it?"
Yu Qiao whispered: "The sooner the better."
The envoy from Zhaoyuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "In two days, I will bring the medicine when I am on duty. In order to avoid being noticed, I also asked Miss Yuqiao to come in person."
"Of course." Yu Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded: "Mr. Zhao must keep this matter secret and do it in secret, and must not let anyone know about it."
The envoys from Zhao Yuan responded one by one.
The imperial physician who is on duty must live in the palace. When he is not on duty, he can leave the palace and return home.
The envoy Zhao has been living in the palace since he became the envoy. He rarely returns home for one or two days in a month. When he suddenly returned home in the evening, Mrs. Zhao was quite surprised and hurriedly prepared some hot delicacies.
Meals.
Unfortunately, Emperor Zhao had no appetite and frowned at the table of delicious dishes.
When Mrs. Zhao saw that the envoy Zhao Yuan was worried, her heart skipped a beat and she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that something happened in the palace again?"
In the past few years, the Qi Dynasty had changed its dynasties twice. Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Jian'an, Empress Dowager Li, died one after another. Several concubines in the palace also suffered from constant illness. Empress Dowager Yu, who was in charge of the harem, was seriously ill.
As the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, Envoy Zhao was also under great pressure. He did not dare to show it in the palace on weekdays, but when he returned home, he would sigh and sigh all the time.
The envoy from Zhao Yuan did not dare to tell anyone about the private affairs of the palace, and responded vaguely: "It's not a big deal."
It’s not a big deal, so how could you be so worried that you can’t even eat?
After being married for many years, Mrs. Zhao knew her husband's temperament very well. She knew that nothing could be gained by asking, so she didn't ask further. She just sighed in a low voice: "If you don't want to talk about things in the palace, I won't ask."
"Now that I have become the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, there is no way I can be promoted. To enjoy wealth and fortune, you must have a life to enjoy it."
yes!
To enjoy wealth and honor, one must have a life.
Zhao Yuanzhi took a deep breath and finally made up his mind: "You are right. Nothing is more important than saving your life!"
…
The next day, Jiaofang Hall.
Several female officials who had been in the palace for just over a year stood respectfully in front of Xie Mingxi.
After a year of strict instruction, the female officials are familiar with all the palace etiquette and rules in the palace.
The female officers in front of them were some of the most outstanding among them. Xie Mingxi specially summoned them, obviously to entrust them with important tasks. Several young female officers suppressed the excitement and excitement in their hearts and lowered their hands.
Xie Mingxi looked at several female officials with a smile in her eyes.
The oldest of these female officers is about twenty-seven or eighty years old, and the youngest is only seventeen years old. This seventeen-year-old female officer was the first in the female officer examination. In the one-year female officer assessment, she also ranked first in the female officer examination.
is first.
Xie Mingxi's eyes fell on her, and she asked with a smile: "Are you Yun Cuiwei?"
The girl's compliment should be.
"I heard that you were the first in the female officer examination. You are also the first in the female officer examination this time." Xie Mingxi smiled casually: "I have heard of your name today, and today I can finally see it with my own eyes."
Yun Cuiwei was so praised that her heart was excited and excited, but her face was calm and steady: "I don't dare to praise you like a queen."
In the past, the maids and chamberlains in the palace all called themselves slaves. Even the female officials could only call themselves slaves in front of the queen of the palace.
This group of female officials who had high hopes were told on the first day they entered the palace that they entered the palace as female officials with a rank and salary. They could leave the palace after ten years of service. They were not anyone's maids.
In front of the queen, you can call yourself a lower official.
The change of name seems to be just a small thing. However, all changes start from small details.
Xie Mingxi opened her mouth to ask about the palace rules, and Yun Cuiwei answered fluently.
Xie Mingxi secretly nodded with satisfaction, and then took a test on the arithmetic and miscellaneous subjects of Shishuziji. Yun Cuiwei didn't hesitate and blurted out. He was full of talent and knowledge, and was not weaker than when Xie Mingxi was young.
It can also be seen that there is no shortage of outstanding women in the world. When women come out of the boudoir and have the opportunity to study like men, outstanding people will emerge one after another.
Xie Mingxi then took the test against several other female officers.
These female officials are slightly inferior to Yun Cuiwei, but they each have their own strengths.
Xie Mingxi had already thought about it, and after finishing the test among the female officers, she opened her mouth to arrange errands for everyone. When Yun Cuiwei came, Xie Mingxi deliberately remained silent.
The long silent gaze and coercion from the Queen made it difficult for a girl who had just entered the palace for a year not to be in awe and fear.
Yun Cuiwei knew in her heart that this was the Queen's final test for herself, so she stood firmly without moving.
Yun Cuiwei is a native of Jinling, born as a commoner, and the only daughter in her family. She has been studying in a girls' academy since she was a child. She is famous for her intelligence and agility.
Two years ago, Yun Cuiwei's father died of a serious illness, and soon after, her own mother also died of illness. The uncles and elders in the family coveted the small amount of property in the Yun family, and wanted to marry Yun Cuiwei to a wealthy businessman as a concubine, so as to make a fortune from selling her body.
Yun Cuiwei knew that she could not compete with her evil uncles on her own, so she made excuses while secretly raising travel expenses, and found an opportunity to escape. She fled all the way to the capital.
When the palace was recruiting female officers, Yun Cuiwei signed up without hesitation and got the first place in the exam.
She has no worries and has no intention of getting married. It is a blessing from heaven for her to be able to enter the palace as a female official and establish herself in an upright and dignified manner without being coerced by her so-called family members.
She also cherishes such opportunities very much.
After a while, Xie Mingxi's voice slowly sounded: "Mr. Yun, from today on, you will be by A Luo's side and wait for orders."
In the envious eyes of all the female officials, Yun Cui suppressed the joy in her heart and responded respectfully: "Yes, I will obey your order. Please rest assured, I will do my best to serve Her Highness the Princess."
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "I hope you will live up to my expectations."
At this moment, Xiang Hui walked over quietly and whispered beside Xie Mingxi.
