Vol 4 Chapter 13: Kneel outside the temple (one more)

After Madam Meng came out of Ci'an Palace, he regretted not being able to get the collection of prescriptions given to her by Su Fengnuan from the Queen Mother. As he walked, he wondered if he went to Su Mansion and asked Miss Su to prescribe another prescription exactly the same as the one given to the Queen Mother, I wonder if she would like it?
He thought too much, and accidentally ran into the person in front of him.
He staggered back two steps, and awakened suddenly. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he stepped back two steps without suspicion. He said, "The old official walked carelessly and ran into the mother, and she made atonement."
Qingqing smiled and looked at Doctor Meng with a gentle tone, "Doctor Meng, don't be polite, I am here waiting for my maid, and I didn't avoid you walking. It's my fault, don't blame you."
Grand Physician Meng lowered his head and said, "The lady is generous, and the old minister must walk carefully in the future."
Qing Qing said with a smile, "What is the doctor Meng thinking so absorbed?"
Taiyi Meng said, "The old official is thinking about a prescription, and he doesn't want to get too engrossed, so he ran into the empress."
Qingqing laughed, "It is true that the rumors of Doctor Meng's good doctors turned into idiots." When the words fell, she asked curiously, "What kind of prescription? I think Doctor Meng looks extremely regretful?"
Grand Physician Meng hesitated to avoid the name, and said, "I got the prescription from the Queen Mother. It's very good. I can't keep it for a while. I regret it."
Qingqing knew that this was the rules of the Imperial Hospital. Regarding the inner palace, the imperial doctor did not like to talk too much, so as not to cause trouble, she wittyly stopped asking, and said with a smile, "I'm going to greet the queen mother. I went back to get my stuff, and I happened to run into Doctor Meng." When the words fell, she smiled, "The hospital is so busy with everything. Go and go."
"The old minister retire!" Madam Meng nodded, walked around Qingqing, and walked outside the palace.
Qingqing watched the doctor Meng disappear, stood there and waited for a while, only when the maid waiting next to her arrived, she slowly walked towards the Queen Mother.
After the empress Meng left, the queen mother was holding Xu Lingyi's prescription and was thinking about it. When someone told that Qing Meiren had come to please her, she frowned, put the prescription down, and said, "Please come in."
Qingqing entered the inner hall. She was a beauty and low-ranking. She came to greet the Queen Mother, and naturally she would kneel and bow.
The Queen Mother looked at Qingqing, who was kneeling on the ground, and did not immediately let her get up, but said to her, "The Ai family heard that the emperor stayed in Huarong Garden yesterday? And when she got up early, she didn’t order people to give you refuge for you. ?"
Qingqing knelt on the ground, as if she did not dare to lift her head, she whispered back, "In response to the queen mother, the concubine thought that the emperor had forgotten to give her concubine soup, so she sent someone to ask the emperor. The emperor said that she hadn't forgotten, and the concubine did not have to obey. ."
The queen mother's eyes shrank, and she was silent for a moment, and said, "The Lai family thought you were a ignorant. I didn't expect that after entering the palace, you would have been trained for so long and knew the truth." After the words fell, she waved her hand, "Since the emperor has favored you , And leave the soup, you are very pleased with your waiter. In the future, you will be like this harem with three thousand fans, and you will be good at serving the emperor. Don't lose your duty." When the words fell, she said sternly, "You can't rely on pets. And proud!"
Qingqing said immediately, "Yes, the concubine dare not. It is the blessing of the concubine to serve the emperor and dare not lose his duty."
The queen mother nodded, "Get up."
Qingqing stood up.
The Queen Mother asked, "The Ai's family still heard that this morning, after the emperor went to the morning, you got up and went to Mingjingyuan to give thanks?"
Qingqing nodded, "The concubine can serve the emperor because it is too..." She remembered that the prince was abolished and was no longer a prince, and suddenly changed her words, "Because of the pity of the master of Mingjingyuan, the concubine did not dare to forget the master's grace. "
The queen mother looked at her and said, "I remember, you can enter the palace because of King Jin, right?"
Qing Qing bowed her head and said legally, "The concubine was born in Qing Huafang. When Qing Huafang’s painting boat was killed, the concubine was rescued by Ye Shizi. Later, the king of Jin investigated the case, and Ye Shizi gave the concubine to the prince of Jin. The shipwreck murder of Huafang in the East Lake of Yunzhen was very involved, and Prince Jin sent his concubine into the palace."
The queen mother nodded, "It seems that you are really rich in this way."
Qingqing lowered her head, "The concubine is also grateful to the queen mother for your training to the concubine. When the concubine first entered the palace, she did not understand the rules. Without you, the concubine would not be able to serve the emperor now."
The Queen Mother heard the words, "You don’t have to thank the Aijia. If it weren’t for the Mingjingyuan person to open your face in front of the emperor, the Aijia would not push you to the emperor. In the eyes of Aijia, you are not enough to serve you. The emperor. Which woman in this palace is not innocent? Only you..."
Qing Qing's face turned pale, and she whispered, "Concubines in Qing Huafang are also doing business but not selling themselves. From beginning to end, innocence can be learned."
The queen mother paused and said, "Yes, the Ai family has forgotten. After you entered the palace, the Ai family asked the mother to verify that you are right." After the words, she said, "Even so, you have been contaminated with filth. Earth, in the eyes of Ai Jia, is also intolerable."
Qingqing lowered her head and said nothing.
The Queen Mother said, "But this is the first thing. Now that the emperor is interested in you, he won't say this."
Qing Qing seemed relieved when she heard the words.
The queen mother looked at her, and in front of her, she was so well-behaved that she could no longer hold her face to reprimand, especially now that the beauty was sealed, and she could not find a way to kill or deal with it with a board. So, she waved her hand and said, "The mourning family is exhausted, so I don't have to come every day to please peace, go."
Qingqing stood up, "Yes, my concubine retires."
After leaving the Ci'an Palace, the little palace lady asked Qingqing, "Manny, it's time now, do you still go to please the queen?"
Qing Qing said, "Go!"
The little palace lady nodded and said no more.
She came to the Queen's Palace, and the went to report.
When the queen heard that she was coming, she glanced at the sky and said angrily, "Let her kneel outside the temple, and it's almost noon before coming to the palace to greet the palace. Did you wait for the emperor, so she didn't look at the palace. Up?"
The little immediately spread the word.
In winter, the bluestone slabs on the ground are cold. Even in the palace, it is no exception. The Four Seasons Old Man will not take special care of it because the palace is the land of the emperor.
Upon hearing this, the little palace lady paled for a while and said to Qingqing, "Manny, what should I do?"
Qingqing stood in place and said to the little who was speaking, "I bother the father-in-law and the empress, saying that the concubine has just come out of the queen mother's palace, and now there is one hour before noon."
The little didn't intend to spread the word, but he turned around after hearing that the emperor hadn't given this beauty a cup of soup this morning.
When the queen heard about it, she threw the tea cup, "A little beauty, she thought the emperor had left Tangliu son, she would really be able to hit it with one fell swoop? It was a dream!" The words fell, and said, "You tell her, the palace said, Let her kneel!"
Seeing the queen's anger, the little turned and left.
After hearing the words, Qingqing said to the maid beside her, "Go." After the words fell, she knelt on the bluestone slab.
The little palace lady said anxiously, "Manny, it's cold on the ground..."
Qingqing interrupted her, "The Queen Niangniang is the lord of the Sixth Palace, and Niangniang wanted to kneel, so she didn't dare not kneel." After the words fell, she glanced at her, "Go."
The little palace lady immediately gave initiation and immediately turned and ran out of the Queen's Palace.
The little palace lady did not return to Huarong Garden, but went to the Imperial Study Room.
At this time, the emperor was seeing Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang in the Nuan Pavilion next to the Imperial Study Room. He told Ye Chang to leave early. After hearing this, the emperor had very poor color in front of the Baiguanmen, but he didn’t say anything. He ordered Koizumi to wait at the intersection. When the two came out of the Ci'an Palace, they were invited by Koizumi to the Nuan Pavilion next to the Yushufang.
Su Fengnuan was still the same as before. After entering the warm pavilion, he leaned on the soft couch to rest.
The emperor looked at Su Fengnuan. After returning to Beijing for so long, her injury did not improve, and she still looked like she fell as soon as the wind blows. He was really upset about what Ye Chang said, but now seeing Su Fengnuan's appearance, he thought that she was just past the age of Jihua, it was the cardamom age, but for Ye Chang, she became such a life. With a worried look, it is no wonder that Ye Chang left the affairs of the court and responsibilities, and wanted to accompany her to look at Emperor Mountain.
He calmed his expression and asked Su Fengnuan, "Su girl, what's your health? You should know the most about yourself. You should tell me more and don't hide it from me. Is it really critical?"
Since seeing the emperor, Su Fengnuan has been smiling faintly, and shook his head when he heard the words, "It's not critical yet, but the situation is really not optimistic." After the words fell, she told the truth about her current situation.
After hearing this, the emperor frowned and said, "You little girl, whether others look pleasing to the eye, but I think it is very pleasing. You are worried about your life, and I don't want to see it. But this thing It is the elder son of the Royal Palace of Rong'an. After the prince's accident, it is my hope. If you are worried about your life and he will go with you, then I really don't know who to count on."
Ye Chang said lazily, "Didn't you have chosen it? Liu Yan is so smart, if you teach and train well..."
The emperor snorted coldly and intercepted his words, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. Today, I want to see Su girl, but I don't want to see you. Even if you come, shut up."
Ye Chang shut his mouth when he heard the words.
Su Fengnuan was funny, glanced at Ye Chang, and said to the emperor, "You say that, I really make this abductee feel sorry for you." After that, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to I die, but there is a hint of hope of salvation, so I won’t give up.
She said,
Perhaps, my body is in this state now, maybe what chance it is, there are too many rare things in the world. , Miracles always appear when there is nowhere to go."
The emperor heard the words and nodded, "This is the best, I believe you will not lose your life so easily."
Su Feng Nuan smiled and nodded, "My mother gave birth to me not easy once, and I cherish this life very tightly."
At this time, someone outside came to report, "The emperor, Qing Meiren went to greet the queen, and was punished by the palace to kneel outside the hall. In this winter day, kneeling is the most hurtful. The maid waiting for Qing Meiren is outside crying and begging the emperor. Save her mother..."
