Song Yi

Chapter 251 Lian Er
Du Wenhao knew that the emperor usually went to Chen Meiren's Tianyan Palace at night, and Chen Meiren was very free during the day, and there was no spare time at all.What's more, I just expressed my loyalty to Chen Meiren, and now Chen Meiren has said that I can't leave, so I can't agree, otherwise I will refute her face, and I can only think of other ways, so Du Wenhao He smiled apologetically at Lin Jieyu, but said nothing.

Du Wenhao could see that Lin Yue's drunkard's intention was not to drink, and of course Meiren Chen could also see it, and said with a smile: "My sister is so anxious to invite Master Du to enjoy the flowers and drink, is there something else?"

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said: "To be honest, it's just one thing to invite Mr. Du to drink and enjoy the flowers. Another thing is that my adoptive mother is very ill, so I want to invite Master Du to take a look."

Chen Meiren smiled faintly: "I said, on weekdays, you would not come to my Tianyan Palace. Although your adoptive mother is the widow of the first emperor, her title is only 'Shiping Junjun'. Lord Du is ordered to serve the harem as a doctor. Only the empress dowager, the empress dowager, concubines, princes and princesses can directly call Mrs. Du to serve as a doctor. The rest are not allowed, and they can only seek medical treatment from other imperial doctors in the imperial hospital.

As for me, it stands to reason that I can't go directly to Master Du to serve as a doctor, hehe, that's because the emperor loves me so much, that's why he ordered it.Therefore, if you want to ask Mr. Du to see your adoptive mother, even if Mr. Du is free, the emperor must approve it. "

What Chen Meiren said was indeed true, but Du Wenhao didn't like hearing it. The so-called doctor's parental heart, people asked to come to the door, and I have nothing to do, so why can't I go to see a doctor.

Lin Jieyu's heart sank to the bottom, the emperor had almost forgotten that Yueqing Palace still had herself, the last time the emperor came to admire the plum blossoms, she was lukewarm, and did not try to please the emperor, she missed this opportunity, It is really difficult to meet the emperor.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue got up sadly, and gave a little blessing: "In that case, Lin Yue is bothering you. Farewell!"

Du Wenhao hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

Lin Jieyu stopped and looked back at him.

Du Wenhao said: "If Ling Ci can go out of the palace at night and come to my Wuwei Hall, I can treat Ling Ci."

Women in the palace cannot leave the palace easily, especially concubines with titles.So Lin Yue smiled gratefully and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, thank you for your kindness, sir."

Every second counts in the matter of medical treatment, and if the time is delayed, I am afraid that my life will be in danger.But according to the rules, his harem doctor only treats concubines above concubines, and beauties of other levels cannot directly call him for diagnosis, and Chen Meiren is determined to let her go.Du Wenhao didn't dare to blatantly disobey Chen Meiren, otherwise, if the pillow blows, it will be terrible.

As soon as he turned his head, he had already thought of a way, and cupped his hands and said:

"Miss Jieyu, I don't know how the concubine is in good health? She has been coughing and wheezing for a long time, so she can't catch a cold. I have been serving the doctor at the empress beauty these days, and I have never had time to greet her. If the empress Jieyu is free, go to Germany Where is the concubine, please tell me a sentence. If the concubine is not feeling well, you can call the ministers to go to the hospital for treatment."

Du Wenhao's words were obvious, he asked Lin Yue to go to Concubine De for help, and Concubine De called him to go by calling him sick, and then asked Lin Yue's mother to wait with Concubine De, so that he could help her see a doctor.Lin Yue Bingxue was smart, she couldn't understand the meaning of his words, she was very grateful, with joy flashing in her eyes, she nodded: "Mr. More! I will definitely bring these words."

After all, I gave a blessing, said goodbye and left.

Chen Meiren stared at Du Wenhao coldly, seeing him bristling, and after a while, she snorted and said, "What do you mean? I'm going around the corner to see her adoptive mother, right? Come on! I'll leave the words here , even if her imperial concubine summons you to serve as a doctor, you are not allowed to go!"

"This..., the concubine De concubine blamed it, the humble minister can't afford it!"

"What are you afraid of! With me! You are the emperor who specially ordered me to treat my illness alone. Until I think I'm not cured, you can't go anywhere, and no one will see you! This is the rule! Do you understand? "

Du Wenhao bowed with a bitter face and said: "How about I go to see her doctor, and I will come back soon after prescribing a prescription. There will be no delay..."

"No!" Chen Meiren's pretty face was as cold as ice, "It's not that there is no imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, why doesn't she go to another imperial physician, it's really difficult for you, Du Wenhao, to be the only one in this world who can cure her adoptive mother's illness? I will I don’t believe it! ——They can find someone else but they don’t. Seeing you helping me with my diagnosis, they deliberately try to snatch you away from me. Hmph, want to fight with me? I'll accompany you!"

Du Wenhao's head is getting bigger, how can such a simple thing as seeing a doctor become a battlefield for these harem women to fight openly and secretly.This beauty Chen is too pampered and coquettish.But she is being favored by the emperor first, and no one pays attention to her. Naturally, no one can offend her, including Du Wenhao.

-----------------
In the Shengrui Palace of Empress De Concubine, De Concubine was talking to Jieyu Lin Yue.

After hearing what had happened, Concubine De hated her teeth: "This fox is too domineering! Okay! Just follow Master Du's advice! Just say I'm sick, and send someone to call Master Du right away!"

"Wait! Sister." Lin Jieyu hastily stopped her, "I'm afraid this won't work either!"

"why?"

"When I left, I saw her sneer slightly, and seemed to have guessed the meaning of what Lord Du said. I'm afraid she would use the imperial decree as a shield and insist on letting Lord Du go. She said that she was still ill and couldn't leave. Master Du. Master Du is the same."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"I can't try it! If you try it, she will find an excuse to shirk it. If she blatantly refuses, then the conflict between the two of you will be made public. My sister finally won the emperor's favor. If it is because of my little sister, I will make my sister reunite." If you fall out of favor, then I can't bear it."

Concubine De immediately slumped on the chair like a discouraged ball. Indeed, although the emperor pampered her again now, the degree of pampering was still not comparable to that of Chen Meiren.

Once Chen Meiren makes a point of this matter, she goes to the emperor to file a complaint, saying that she deliberately caused trouble, that Du Wenhao would not let Du Wenhao treat her, and let the emperor investigate. After all, she was ordered by the emperor to serve Du Wenhao as a doctor. Don't believe her words, as long as you send someone to investigate, you will know that you are not sick at all, and you will deliberately call Du Wenhao away under the pretext of being sick, which will affect Chen Meiren's medical treatment. happy.At that time, it might not be impossible for him to fall out of favor again.

Concubine De murmured: Then... what do you think should be done? "

Lin Jieyu said sadly: "Everything is fate..."

Concubine De stood up in a huff: "What is life, don't come here! I don't believe that the living can be suffocated by urine! I can always find a way! Don't interrupt, let me think about it!"

With tears in her eyes, Lin Jieyu nodded and looked at her without saying a word.

Concubine De walked back and forth in the room for a few times with her hands behind her back and her head lowered, she finally stopped, she bit her silver teeth lightly, and said: "Didn't she say that you need the emperor's order to ask Mrs. Du to treat your adoptive mother?" Then let’s beg the emperor! Tell the emperor about your mother’s condition, and beg the emperor to show mercy and let Mrs. Du come to see her doctor!”

"Ah?" Lin Jieyu was stunned for a moment, "This..., I'm going to ask the emperor for going to the emperor without a call."

"What are you afraid of? I didn't tell you to go to the Golden Palace to find the emperor. You just wait here! The father-in-law of the imperial study had already sent a message that the emperor will come to my Shengrui Palace tonight. I will tell the emperor first when the time comes. If it’s the best, but if it’s not good, you come out and beg the emperor! No matter what, you are also the mother of the emperor’s two princes, and you are only asking for medical treatment, not murder and arson, what serious crime can you cure?!”

After hearing this, Lin Jieyu nodded, "Well, my sister is right, my adoptive mother has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, even if I was punished for her, I would be willing!"

Concubine De's expression softened, she took Lin Jieyu's hand and said:

"Sister, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Your temper really needs to be changed. It's okay to be cold to others, but it's not good to be indifferent to the emperor. According to the common people, he is your man, your husband. , Husband, within ten feet, you have to be a husband. Within this ten feet, you have to fulfill your duties as a wife. I am not advising you to compete with others, but to make you easy-going, no matter what happens Do it. In fact, the emperor still loves you very much."

Lin Jieyu was stunned for a while, then nodded slightly.

----------

Sure enough, as Lin Jieyu had guessed, after she left, Chen Meiren ordered the gatekeeper, no matter if it was Concubine De or Lin Jieyu, to say that she was not feeling well and had already fallen asleep, so it was inconvenient to report.

Du Wenhao couldn't help but smiled wryly, but couldn't think of a better way.

It wasn't until the evening when the palace gates were about to be closed that Meiren Chen asked Du Wenhao to take the maid named Lian'er, and sent them a carriage to take them back out of the palace.

There were only Du Wenhao and Lian'er in the carriage. Du Wenhao asked her basic situation and learned that she was 16 years old this year. She was originally a maidservant of Chen Mei's family. Chen Meiren works as a maid by her side.

Back to Wuweitang, it was completely dark.

At the main entrance of Tianshui Lane, Pang Yuqin and others were waiting eagerly.These days Du Wenhao went out early in the morning every day and came back after dark, saying that he was seeing a doctor for one of the emperor's favorite beauties.This time he came back after dark, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but Du Wenhao didn't come back in a sedan chair this time, but in a carriage, a luxurious carriage!

Lifting the curtain of the car, stepping on the pedals from the carriage, a [-]-year-old young lady, illuminated by the lantern in front of the door, her shy white and tender face glowing pink, carrying a small package in her hand, followed Du Wenhao with her head down. .

Xue Fei'er talked the fastest, and rushed to ask: "Brother! Who is this girl?"

Before Du Wenhao could reply, Lian'er had already pulled up her dress and knelt down: "Grandma, my name is Lian'er, I used to be the maid of Mistress Chen Meiren, and today she gave Lian'er to the master as a concubine. Lian'er pays tribute to my aunt."

After all, he knocked his head three times.

Xue Fei'er and the others were stunned, Pang Yuqin's face changed slightly, she looked at Du Wenhao and said nothing.Lin Qingdai's smile was also a bit bitter, and she didn't speak.Yingzi was born as a maid, so she felt a little bit of sympathy for Lian'er, she wanted to step forward to help her, but she didn't dare to make a decision, she looked at Du Wenhao eagerly.

Lian'er knelt on the ground and dared not get up without the master's permission.

Du Wenhao originally wanted to introduce Lian'er as a maid, but unexpectedly, this little girl was so smart that she had already seen that Du Wenhao didn't want to take concubines, maybe he wanted to make himself a maid, and his first sentence decided that he would be a concubine. The status of this family for a lifetime, anyway, has the backing of the mother's golden words, so she rushes to speak first, once the identity is clear, the future things will be easier to handle.

Du Wenhao shook his head slightly with a wry smile, and said to Pang Yuqin: "Lady, this... is all due to the good intentions of Chen Meiren. She insisted on forcing me to take a concubine, and even gave her to me, so that I can take her in immediately. room, or I will be punished. I dare not push, so..."

Pang Yuqin could see that Du Wenhao's frustration was real, and said with a smile, "My husband, do you still remember? My parents and grandma said that when Yuqin married into the Du family, she was a member of the Du family. Read it, and never dare to violate it. You have the final say on the matter of taking concubines, master, and Yuqin will not say anything else."

Du Wenhao gratefully held her hand: "My lady, I..., I really have no other choice."

Upon hearing this, Lian'er's body trembled slightly, and she slowly lowered her head.

Pang Yuqin smiled bitterly: "My husband's words can make it difficult for a wife. He said that Miss Lian'er is a concubine bestowed by the empress, and the king's order cannot be violated. Even if it is an ordinary girl, how can she go back on what she says when she says she is a concubine? Lian'er Miss Er is a blessing from the imperial court, and this gift of engagement is quite decent. Yingzi, you can find a gentleman to count the days and see if today is suitable?"

Lian'er was overjoyed, knelt and turned around and kowtowed three times to Pang Yuqin: "Lian'er thank you Madam for your kindness. Lian'er kowtowed to Madam!"

"Forget it, get up, you will be your family from now on, just take good care of your master."

"Madam's words, Lian'er will keep in mind, and she must serve the master well!" Dongdong kowtowed a few more times before kneeling up.

Pang Yuqin introduced the identities of Lin Qingdai, Yingzi and others, and Lianer met with Lianer again.

Yingzi asked for the horoscopes of Du Wenhao and Lianer, and soon went to a fortune teller to find out. This day turned out to be a very auspicious day. After today, it will take more than ten days for the auspicious day to come.Pang Yuqin made the decision immediately.

Although taking a concubine does not require the six ceremonies or worshiping heaven and earth, you still have to pay attention to the ceremony of civil engagement. Although it is too late to make a fuss, you still need to look good.

The banquet was ready very quickly. Since it was done according to Chen Meiren's request, it is better to look good. I sent people to the imperial hospital overnight to invite a few leaders and good imperial doctors. Invited some good friends, the street where the pharmacy is located, and the left and right neighbors.

Some court officials who received the letter knew that Du Wenhao was the empress dowager's favorite, even though they didn't receive the invitation, they all came to congratulate him with gifts.As a result, more than a dozen tables were set up for this banquet
Zheng Gu, the envoy of the imperial hospital, brought the imperial physicians from nine departments to arrive, but Fu He didn't come. After receiving the [-] leather whips last time, he still can't get out of bed.

In order to show off to Empress Chen Meiren, the specifications of the wedding celebration were all in accordance with marrying a wife, except for the procedure of worshiping heaven and earth.

Wenpin was written by the recording office.It can be regarded as officially accepting Lian'er as a concubine.Everyone congratulates.

After the banquet, Du Wenhao and Lian'er entered the back room.

Du Wenhao stopped suddenly, and said coldly: "Did the beauty let you watch me?"

Suddenly asked this question, Lian'er immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Master, I dare not!"

"Do you dare to say?" Du Wenhao's words were as cold as a knife, and he turned his face to stare at her and asked.

Lian'er hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed and said: "Master, a few days ago, the empress did tell Lian'er like this, but Lian'er also had a calculation in her heart, since the master accepted Lian'er as a concubine, Lian'er is the master's man in life and death , naturally she will wholeheartedly protect the master. Therefore, the concubine will never betray the master, and will never dare to say anything wrong about the master."

"really?"

"If the concubine tells half a lie, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky!" Lian'er kowtowed.

"Then she wants to ask you, what should you do?"

"What to say and what not to say, the concubine understands in her heart."

Du Wenhao stared at her for a moment, then asked again: "Then are you willing to tell me about Mrs. Chen?"
