National color medical concubine

Chapter 35
After the banquet.

Wei Yun and Wei Ruxue were left behind.

Duke Fu could see Emperor Ming's attitude towards Xie Qiao clearly at the palace banquet. He was skeptical of Xie Qiao's words, but now he believed them very much!
He also stayed in the palace and asked himself to lower his title.

Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu have a lot of worries.

The Liu family and the Deng family did not have daughters suitable for marriage, and they did not have much thought about who would become the crown princess.Naturally, they were more partial to Xie Qiao in their hearts.If Rong Yan marries the crown prince, I don't know how arrogant Wei will be in the future!
After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Zhu paused, turned her head to Xie Qiao and said, "Follow me."

The eldest lady also took Rong Yan to Fushou Hall together.

She counted on Rong Yan to become the Crown Princess, so that she would have a chance to stand up!
Cao Mama supported Zhu Shi to sit on the big kang by the window, and stuffed a big red peony pillow around her waist.There are four large chairs on the left and right sides, and silver and red flower chairs are built on top of each other.The eldest lady sat on the big chair on the left, and Xie Qiao sat down on the right.

Red algae held tea, and Zhu took a sip to moisten his throat: "Although the eighth day of the next lunar month is a lotus feast, you are also choosing a concubine for the prince. You have been living abroad for many years, but you have never learned any rules, and you have not cultivated your virtue. Find a reason not to enter the palace." Said with a rather tired expression: "Yan'er will enter the palace on your behalf."

Da furen's heart is relieved, not only will her status in the mansion be improved when Rong Yan enters the palace, most of Li's dowry will be given to Rong Yan as a dowry, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

On the surface, he pretended to evade and said: "Mother, the Empress specifically told Sister Hua to enter the palace. If she doesn't go... I'm afraid she might be contemptuous of the emperor's prestige."

When Mrs. Li and the Queen were in their boudoir, they exchanged handkerchiefs.

Xie Qiao will be an outlier.

unless……

"Sister Hua is not young, and the ladies in the mansion are all old enough to say goodbye, so they can't go past her. In a few days, I'm thinking about taking Sister Hua with me to the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the Anyuan Marquis Mansion." The lady had a smile on her face, a rare kindness.

Mrs. Zhu understands what Mrs. Wei is thinking, and this is to make an appointment for Xie Qiao's marriage before the lotus feast.

This determined the possibility of Xie Qiao being selected as the crown princess!

"Take Shu'er and Ning'er to go together." Zhu Shi was reluctant to miss the marriage of Prince Xie, and if Rong Yan was the Crown Princess, she would choose one of Rong Shu and Rong Ning to marry into Prince Xie's mansion.

"No!" Rong Yan stood up emotionally suddenly, met Zhu Shi's sharp eyes, her face turned pale, and only then did she realize that she had lost her composure.But if Xie Qiao is prevented from entering the palace to participate in the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, then she will have to work hard to get rid of marrying the prince.

Do not!
In this life, she will never enter the palace again!
Rong Yan's sharp nails pierced into her palm, and the pain made her extremely calm.With a steady heart, he said: "Grandmother, apart from her cold temper, sister Xie has no major faults, and her behavior is appropriate. Didn't you ask her to teach her to take care of her? This month is enough to teach sister Xie good manners. She ... After all, she is the eldest daughter of the original spouse, and she is loved by the empress, so she has a better chance of winning than the first daughter from my step-room."

When she said the last sentence, Rong Yan's heart ached.

The appearance of Xie Qiao greatly reduced her identity.Handing out handkerchiefs in the past, talking about her background behind her back, is no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Looking at the haggard eldest lady, Rong Yan's eyes dimmed, her mother probably had a deeper understanding!

The corner of Xie Qiao's mouth curled up slightly, watching them discuss her marriage back and forth, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.Picking up the blue and white porcelain cup on the high table and shaking it gently, looking down at the light golden tea soup swirling, no drips splashed out.

bang——

As soon as Xie Qiao put the tea cup down, the tea soup sloshed out and splashed on the ground.

Rong Yan took a step back unconsciously, the tea soup splashed on her heart like boiling water.Touching Xie Qiao's eyes as cold as water, I had a bad premonition in my heart.Sure enough, I heard her say: "I have little talent and learning, and I am not a real lady from a famous family. My family is also a criminal minister, so I am afraid that I am not among the concubines. The empress invited me into the palace, it is just a flattery."

Rong Yan's complexion changed suddenly.

Xie Qiao continued: "As the crown prince, the crown prince will definitely not choose a woman who has no natal family's power to rely on as the crown prince."

The eldest lady was awakened by Xie Qiao's words, and she was completely relieved.Looking at Rong Yan's pale face, he patted the back of her hand comfortingly.

"It's rare for you to think like that."

Seeing Xie Qiao's understanding of current affairs, Zhu Shi pursed her lips and smiled in satisfaction, but she didn't know that her wrinkled face became more and more mean.

Xie Qiao got up and left.

Rong Yan shook off the Da Furen's hand, and said in a cold voice: "Grandmother, mother, aren't you going to discuss marriage with Prince Xiejun? I am not the only daughter in the mansion, so I can choose someone else to be the candidate for the Crown Princess! Others They must have known that we intended to discuss marriage with Prince Xie, so they turned around and participated in the crown prince's concubine selection banquet, how can you let them criticize me?"

In the previous life, there was also this reason. She was scorned and ridiculed by the prince, and she was struggling in the East Palace!

"What are you talking about? You haven't exchanged Geng notes, who dares to gossip?" The eldest lady scolded Rong Yan angrily: "What is the king of Xie County? If you marry the crown prince, you will be the mother of the world from now on!"

That's why she's alive!
Rong Yan shouted in her heart, clenching her teeth to get the words stuck in her throat.

His eyes were red with anger, and he trembled all over.One word at a time, he said: "If you become a princess, you can sit back and relax? When the prince is the emperor, I must be the queen?" He sneered: "Besides, whether I can become a princess or not is another matter!"

Mrs. Zhu and the eldest lady looked at each other, and the eldest lady said meaningfully: "Don't worry, you can just wait for the imperial decree of marriage."

Words are firm.

As long as Xie Qiao doesn't participate.

Hearing this, a gust of cold air rushed from the soles of Rong Yan's feet to the top of her head, her limbs were icy cold!
……

Xie Qiao didn't go back to the small clinic she opened for a long time, and took Mingxiu out of the mansion through the back door.

Hire a carriage and go to the little clinic.

The medical hall has not been taken care of for a long time, and it is already covered with dust.

Xie Qiao rolled up his sleeves to tidy up, and Mingxiu who was beside him waved his whisk: "Miss, you go upstairs, I'll tidy up here."

Xie Qiao said 'hmm' and stepped upstairs.

Suddenly, staring sharply at one place, he shouted sharply: "Who!"

The green cloth curtain by the window shook, and a person came out.He was eight feet tall, dressed in gray and white cloth, and was in his early twenties, but his face was full of weather.

"Ye Zhou?" Xie Qiao cried out in surprise when he saw the man.At the beginning, she had no intention of saving Haiye's life. Haiye was a tyrant at sea and robbed merchant ships.At that time, she thought of Zheng He's voyages to the West, and wanted to see if the dynasty she lived in had something in common with history.It happened that Lord Hai had sailing experience, so she proposed to try to plan the route and prepare for half a year before they set off to sea.

This trip lasted a year.

She thought they had an accident at sea, but she didn't expect that they came back!
"Are there other countries on the other side of the sea?" Xie Qiao asked excitedly!

"Yes!" Ye Zhou was also very excited to see Xie Qiao. Hearing her question about overseas affairs, he said excitedly: "Although Master Hai has experience, we lost our way not long after we went to sea. He used stargazing to identify the route. , still can’t find the direction. In the end, relying on the star board you gave, the journey went smoothly.” Of course, Xie Qiao didn’t explain the danger in detail.

A wooden box was brought out from the bottom of the bed, which contained gems, gold belts, coral beads, pepper, woody incense and other things.

Immediately afterwards, he took a stack of bank notes and handed them to Xie Qiao.

"This is all given to you by Hai Ye." Ye Zhou asked solemnly: "He asked me to ask you when you will go to sea again?"

Xie Qiao shook his head: "After the winter comes, we will go to sea again during the northeast monsoon." Pushing back the silver ticket: "Since this line has been cleared, then we can cooperate with Haiye. You can't have money on hand, these You can use the banknotes to build ships, buy agricultural products and silk and sell them overseas."

Xie Qiao didn't expect that his impulsiveness would be rewarded!Thinking that she was short of money before and worried about money, now not only does she not have to worry about food and clothing when she returns to Fuguo Duke's Mansion, but also opens up the road to maritime commerce.

But these developments did not make her dizzy, there was a trace of melancholy in her brows, she was afraid that some details would have to be discussed with Master Hai face to face!

Ye Zhou was stunned, and put the banknotes into his arms: "Master Hai has recruited a large number of sailors and is preparing to go to sea in summer. If it is winter, there will be more than half a year..." Before he finished speaking, a voice came from downstairs: "Doctor Xie is here. ?"
