I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 322 Reunion
Yun Xin knew that talking about this topic would only make Qu Lingxu feel more depressed, so she was thinking of saying something to divert the topic away, but she heard the report from the palace, "Master, today's memorial has been delivered Come, please take a look."

"Let it go."

The New Year is approaching, and there has been no major movement recently, and what was written on the memorial is nothing more than insignificant things. Qu Lingxu flipped through it casually, and when she saw the last book, her face changed slightly, and she was not annoyed at all. , just smiled lightly, "What are you talking about? It's not yet the year of the draft, and some people can't wait to recruit people to the palace."

Forehead?
In the past few months, Yun Xin has been with Qu Lingxu and Fang Bo, and she has learned a lot of words, but the memorial is not something that she, a palace official, can take casually, so she can only frown and say: "The three-year draft It's a common practice, not to mention the fact that the emperor first inherited the great power, and the affairs of the previous dynasty are intricate, so it is inappropriate to mention the matter of the draft at this time."

"It's inappropriate, it's not up to us." Qu Lingxu threw the memorial on the table casually, and said with a half-smile: "Wang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is a proper speculator. , secretly supported Murong Jing, because he never showed his true nature, and when the deposed emperor dealt with the princelings, he was not implicated. , It's a pity that his luck is really bad, not long after, not only Murong Li is hopeless, but even the deposed emperor has collapsed, he can only behave like a man with his tail between his legs, pretending that everything has nothing to do with him."

"Such a person with no integrity, the grass on the wall is falling with the wind, why should the master keep him, and find some excuse to send him back to his hometown to grow vegetables." Yun Xin snorted.

Traitors are the most annoying.

"Although he doesn't have much integrity, his ability is still good. He has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for many years and has not made any mistakes. Nowadays, stability is the main priority in the court, so I don't plan to move him for a while." Qu Lingxu couldn't help it. He said something quickly, then turned to look at Yun Xin, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Yun Xin looked at Qu Lingxu in a daze, and didn't understand what she meant by her words, but she was still indignant, "It's a great kindness for the master to keep his official position, and logically speaking, he should keep a low profile." For the sake of it, I shouldn’t be in the limelight.” Saying this, Yun Xin seemed to think of something, and hastily added: “Master, could it be possible that he has a daughter of the right age in his family and wants to send her into the palace to protect his own safety? status?"

"There is indeed such a possibility, but Wang Yuan is not the only court official with a young woman in his family. Why are others so quiet, but why does he want to be the first bird to displease me?"

Qu Lingxu tapped rhythmically on the table with her slender fingers, always feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, as if there were some secrets she didn't know.

But no matter what the truth is, there is one problem that is certain, that is: Wang Yuan must have cast a new backer.

Qu Lingxu wanted to think about it carefully, but before he had time to clear his mind, he heard a few faint voices from the courtyard, "Slave pays respects to the emperor", the voice went from far to near, from vague to clear, Qu Lingxu There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and I didn't care about other things, I just walked out of the Nuan Pavilion quickly, and before I stepped out of the main hall, I saw a silver-white figure coming in front of me with the sound of the wind, and my eyes were dazzled.

"Xu'er, I'm back!" Leng Yuanxun subconsciously wanted to take Qu Lingxu into his arms, but he was too anxious to come back, and he didn't even have time to change the armor on his body. He was worried that the blunt armor would hurt him, so he had to Life stopped moving.

Maybe it was worn by the wind and frost, but after two months of not seeing each other, Leng Yuanxun's stiff face became a bit more vicissitudes. It was a mature and stable face tempered by the years, not only did not look old at all, but was more determined breath.

Qu Lingxu had mixed feelings in his heart, but in the end he was more pleased, and only showed a bright smile, "I thought you would come back tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to be earlier."

"The large army has just marched a hundred miles away from Beijing. I can't wait to see you, so I returned to the palace early." Leng Yuanxun took Qu Lingxu's hand, looked him up and down carefully, and couldn't get enough of him. .

Yun Xin knew that Leng Yuanxun and Qu Lingxu must have a lot of personal things to say, so she led the palace people back with great insight. Qu Lingxu let go of Leng Yuanxun's hand and helped him change the armor on his body. After coming down, I just told Leng Yuanxun about the previous accident in detail, and then sighed lowly: "I really can't control half of the world's affairs, maybe my life is much harder than others, so I can meet every time. Turn evil into good luck, but it will always involve the people around you.”

"An accident happened, no one could have predicted it, so how could it be your fault." Leng Yuanxun held Qu Lingxu tightly into his arms, trying hard to let the other party feel his warmth, and after a while he said softly again: " Believe me, all of this is not your fault, if Qing Yang has a spirit in the sky, he will not be able to rest in peace when he sees you so guilty."

"Yeah." The deceased is dead, and no matter how much he says, it will only increase his grief. Qu Lingxu knew that Leng Yuanxun would only suffer more from Qingyang's sudden death than himself, so he had to change the subject. "This time the war was won. Although I didn't witness it with my own eyes, I also know that the victory was tragic. In the next few years, I should rest and recuperate well, and there will be no more troubles."

Leng Yuanxun originally wanted to tell Qu Lingxu about Chen Xiucheng's life experience, but the other party had been depressed for many days because of Qingyang's death, and he really couldn't add another layer of worry, so he had to temporarily suppress the mention, pretending to be displeased and said: "I put the army aside and come back a day early to see you. Apart from these important national affairs, do you have anything else to say to me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, how can there be no?" Seeing Leng Yunxun pettyly playing with his temper, Qu Lingxu also became a bit stubborn, and saw that she broke away from the other party's embrace and picked up Wang Yuan from the table. Handed over the memorial, the corners of the lips curled up slightly, "I'm busy, I'm busy looking for someone's beauty, otherwise this letter will come up, wouldn't I become a shrew who is jealous and ignorant of the general situation, such a big crime , I can't bear it."

"I think they are too idle." Leng Yuanxun threw the memorial on the table after only one glance, his eyes were cold, "It's my business to meddle in, I want to see , who gave him such courage."

"You also think it's not Wang Yuan's idea alone?" Qu Lingxu and Leng Yuanxun agreed again.

"If he had such a big idea, I'm afraid he would have been decapitated long ago." Leng Yuanxun snorted softly, obviously he had a very thorough understanding of Wang Yuan's personality.

"Then let's stay the same. I'm afraid there will be more excitement at the court banquet tomorrow." Qu Lingxu doesn't care how many people are thinking about entering the palace, as long as the man in front of him is devoted to him, they will be fine. The agency's calculations are in vain in the end.

"By the way, you will attend the court banquet tomorrow with me." Leng Yuanxun always felt that something was missing and he didn't say anything, but he suddenly remembered it after being reminded by Qu Lingxu.

"I?"

The court banquet is an important banquet held by the emperor once a year to entertain his ministers. Only officials of the second rank and above are eligible to participate. There has never been a rule of bringing female relatives. Concubines and wives have no intersection with each other.

"Yes, I plan to change the rules." Leng Yuanxun took Qu Lingxu's hand again, and explained his plan, "According to the past practice, the courtiers and concubines are divided into two parts, mainly for Avoid meeting concubines and foreign ministers, and prevent those audacious people from doing anything wrong. It is also to show that men are superior to women. Now I don't plan to accept concubines, and I don't think you are qualified to stand side by side with me, so , You must come, and you must stand with me."

For the sake of this world, Xu'er has paid so much, she should stand beside him openly and enjoy the glory she deserves, instead of standing behind him, becoming a symbol in the harem, becoming a woman who shares a husband with many women one.

No one else is qualified.

"What about those wives, don't you want to combine the two banquets together?"

"Why do they appear at court banquets?" On the issue of equality between men and women, Leng Yuanxun did not intend to promote the principle of equal treatment. Cancel it, just let them bring in gifts according to their order."

"You don't even have to eat, and you still have to accept gifts from others. You can make a steady profit without losing money in this business." Qu Lingxu thanked Leng Yuanxun for being considerate of her willful little thoughts, but on the surface he didn't care about it. Without revealing anything, he just smiled and said, "I won't blame you for being petty, and I will definitely explain it clearly to everyone. This is an order personally issued by their most respected emperor, His Majesty."

"It's my order, who dares to refute it." Leng Yuanxun raised his eyebrows proudly, and lay down on the imperial concubine's couch with Qu Lingxu in his arms, whispering in her ear, "I'm outside these days. I think of you all the time, Xu'er, you know, I feel really happy and lucky."

If the two infants had been swapped 20 years ago, he would not have had the opportunity to receive the careful teaching of the Marquis of Huaiyang, nor would he have had the opportunity to know Xu'er. Under the repeated engulfment of the word "revenge", he might be as slow as Chen Xiucheng. Slowly becoming crazy, becoming unscrupulous, slowly walking towards death step by step, without even a chance to turn back.

So, he is unfortunate, but at the same time, he is lucky.

For the rest of his life, he no longer had any resentment, but only gratitude to God.
