National color medical concubine

chapter 87
Xie Qiao did not stay after all, she was ordered to come with Xi Bochang, and she must return to Beijing together.

The way back was not as fast as when she came here, and when she arrived in the capital, most of her illnesses were cured.

Liu Shi, Rong Sheng and Rong Shu waited outside the mansion to greet him in Fuguo Duke's Mansion. The moment he saw Xie Qiao, Liu Shi's eyes were moist: "It's cleared up."

"It's good that elder sister comes back safely." Rong Sheng looked happy, since Xie Qiao left Beijing, his mother and third elder sister have been worrying about him.

Rong Shu held Xie Qiao's hand tightly, shedding tears before saying anything.

Xie Qiaojiang looked much better than Nanyin, wiped away the tears from Rongshu's face, patted her hand and said, "Why are you crying, you're going to get married."

Rong Shu stopped her tears, with an unnatural expression on her face, she said coquettishly, "Elder Sister, don't bury anyone."

Xie Qiao caught a glimpse of her pink cheeks, looked at Liu Shi and said, "Second Aunt, I'm afraid a happy event is coming soon in the residence."

Liu's eyes widened and said with a smile, "Shu'er is discussing marriage."

With the shy smile on Rong Shu's face, Xie Qiao knew that the person who proposed marriage was in her favor, so he changed his mind slightly and congratulated: "Congratulations, third sister." Unexpectedly, she had left Beijing for more than a month, and Qin Yin had already Propose marriage with her.

Rong Shu lowered her head shyly, twisted her fingers, and said anxiously: "Big sister, I'm a little worried that I won't be able to take good care of Qin Zhi and Qin Yi, they don't like me."

"Don't worry too much. They are well-behaved children. If you treat them with your heart, they will definitely accept you." Xie Qiao said in relief.

Rong Shu nodded.

While several people were talking, they had already returned to the house.

"You have been exhausted all the way, and you want to rest. We won't bother you, and we will have dinner together in the evening." Mrs. Liu sent her to Chonghua Building, and stayed outside the courtyard.

"Okay." Xie Qiao responded and watched them leave before entering the house.

When Bai Zhi and Ban Xia saw Xie Qiao, they rushed over and hugged her and cried: "Miss, the servants are very worried when they learn that you have fallen ill. They wish they could go to Nanyin. Where will you go in the future? We leave."

"Okay, okay, I won't keep you guarding the house next time." Xie Qiao looked at the worry in their eyes, his heart warmed slightly, his brows stretched, and there was a faint smile at the corners of his eyes and brows: "What happened in the house recently?"

Bai Zhi wiped away the tears on her face, sobbed and said: "The old lady made a fuss, saying that you are a scourge, the old lady was given ecstasy soup by you, and obeyed your words."

Ban Xia continued: "The old lady said she was muttering and sent her to the family temple, and the old lady just calmed down."

Xie Qiao asked thoughtfully, "Where is Sanfang?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "The servants have been in the mansion all the time. After Sanfang moved out, they haven't returned to the mansion for a month."

"The young master started howling and cursing you every night, and gradually became quiet. He didn't want to eat much before, but now he can eat whatever he gives." Banxia said suspiciously.

"Be careful." Xie Qiao reminded with a flash of thought in his eyes.

Ming Xiu called for hot water, Xie Qiao took a bath, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already sunset.

"Miss, the second madam sent someone to invite you to the front hall for dinner." Mingxiu held the clothes and waited for Xie Qiao to put them on: "You have returned safely, the second madam is preparing a banquet, and the wives and young ladies from all the houses are invited to come to the house, solemnly Introduce you to them."

Fu Guogong had planned this for a long time, and Mrs. Zhu has been obstructing it, and Mrs. Liu once refused to agree because of Rong Sheng's matter.

Now, I'm afraid it's as compensation.

Xie Qiao nodded, which was Cheng Liu's wish.

After packing up, Xie Qiao went to the front hall.

Everyone in the second room has arrived, seeing Xie Qiao, Liu arranged her to sit beside her.

The second master said kindly: "I heard the news that the emperor has rewarded me."

Xie Qiao was startled, and before he had time to speak, he saw the housekeeper rushing over: "The palace...someone is coming from the palace."

Xie Qiao and the second master looked at each other, and said with a smile: "As soon as the second uncle said, people will arrive." He stepped back and let the second master go first.

The second master was satisfied with Xie Qiao's subtle actions, and he didn't give in, and led everyone to receive the reward.

The eunuch took out the imperial edict, unsealed it, and said loudly: "Rong Hua accepts the edict!"

Everyone knelt down.

The servant-in-law unfolded the imperial decree and read: "By heaven, the emperor ordered: Rong Hua, the daughter of the Chancellor of Zhan Shifu, has excellent medical skills and has made great achievements in controlling the plague in Nanyin. She bestows a dendrobium of pearls, a hundred taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of brocade. Here it is!"

"My daughter receives the decree." Xie Qiao held the imperial decree in both hands and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

Mrs. Liu handed the prepared red envelope to her eunuch: "Please take a trip."

The father-in-law accepted it, and said meaningfully: "Miss Rong is a person of great fortune, and the Sa family will congratulate you first." After finishing speaking, he took people away.

Xie Qiao was startled, carefully pondering what the servant-in-law said.

The second master's eyes flickered brightly, he stroked his beard and said, "Sister Hua's future...doesn't stop there."

Mrs. Liu shot him a sideways look: "Master, do you mean there is still a gift?"

The second master took a look at Xie Qiao, but didn't say anything, but sent his long entourage to Befu to inquire.

Sure enough, as the second master expected, those who went together were only given rewards, but not sealed.

Mrs. Liu couldn't hide the joy on her face, and she was afraid that the joy would be empty, her mood was extremely contradictory, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.

I don't know how to eat the dinner, so I use it hastily, and then I disperse and wait for tomorrow's arrival.

The next day.

Early in the morning, a verbal order came from the palace, and the second master entered the palace with Xie Qiao when he was going to the morning court.

Liu Shi sent them away and went to the ancestral hall.

The second master went to the Golden Luan Hall, and Xie Qiao stood outside waiting for the summons.

Emperor Ming sat on the dragon chair, and all the officials knelt down to worship. Eunuch Liu said loudly: "If there is something to play, we will leave the court if there is nothing to do."

Xi Bochang came out and said: "I have a duty to play." Glancing at several imperial physicians, Xi Bochang said just now: "Although the epidemic situation in Nanyin County has been brought under control, a prescription has been developed. It can cut off the source of the infection, but we must not relax. I implore the emperor to send an imperial doctor to stay in Nanyin until the epidemic situation subsides completely, and then he will be dispatched back to Beijing."

The hospital made Liao Shunhe change his face.

Emperor Ming pondered and said: "Zuzao!"

Wei Yun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Xi Bochang and others have managed the Nanyin epidemic well, and I think that I should reward them for their merits."

Emperor Ming's eyes fell on Xi Bochang, and Xi Bochang hurriedly said: "I dare not take credit for it, this time the credit goes to Rong Hua, the duke of the state, to make the first contribution."

"So, let Rong Hua enter the hall." Emperor Ming didn't wait for Wei Yun to speak again, and ordered Xie Qiao, who was waiting outside the hall, to be passed into the hall.

Xie Qiao walked smoothly, without squinting, walked from outside the hall to the front of the hall, knelt on the ground and said: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Pingshen." Emperor Ming's eyes fell deeply on Xie Qiao's face, his thoughts were slightly in a trance, and he said in a deep voice: "Nanyin's epidemic has been cured successfully, and I am very happy. Those who have made merit will be promoted to rank and rank based on their hard work."

Eunuch Liu on the side received the signal from Emperor Ming, and unfolded the imperial decree: "Uncle Xi, Ji Chang stepped forward to listen to the seal. Because of your meritorious service in governing Nanyin, I now order you to be the left servant of the Ministry of War. One thousand six hundred households."

"I thank the emperor for his grace." Xi Bochang knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

Wei Yun's tense complexion relaxed, and his eyes fell on Xie Qiao coldly, with a strange glint flashing across him.

Eunuch Liu took out another imperial decree and said: "Rong Hua stepped forward to listen to the seal. Because of your meritorious service in curing the epidemic in Nanyin and calming the victims, I specially seal you as the envoy of the Imperial Hospital."

Everyone was shocked.

The envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital is the fifth rank, but he bestows on a woman!
Liao Shunhe's heart was shocked, and he looked at Xie Qiao in astonishment, only feeling astonished, how could a woman be an official in the world?

Wei Yun's eyes changed, she didn't expect that the emperor would let a woman be an official, even if it was only in the imperial hospital!
Marquis An Yuan in the corner stared at Xie Qiao with poisoned eyes, vicious and vicious.

This bitch is so beautiful!
Holding the hand holding the ivory wat, the veins in the fingers are throbbing, the strength is so strong that the ivory wat is almost broken.

Xie Qiao also had a flash of astonishment in his eyes, he did not expect that the emperor would not give up, he had awarded her as a female official last time, and now she is even a doctor.

"Thank you soon!" Eunuch Liu urged.

"My daughter-in-law cannot accept the order." Xie Qiao knelt on the ground, looking straight at Longyan without evading.

The crowd gasped.

How many people wished for it, but she refused!How dare she?
Emperor Ming was furious, but he heard Xie Qiao say: "Since the founding of the country, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official. The laws of the country cannot be abolished. Please take it back!"

In the hall, there was a complete silence.

Emperor Ming stared at Xie Qiao with heavy eyes, his face unpredictable, and just when everyone thought he was going to send Xie Qiao off, he suddenly said: "In that case, I will take it back. However, you have to pay attention to the fact that you are the first one, so I specially sealed it." You are the county lord, and you are given the title Shun'an."

Xie Qiao was taken aback, and quickly thanked him: "I thank the emperor for your kindness."

No one expected this change.

The second master breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes showed joy.

Xi Bochang looked at Xie Qiao with complicated eyes, the emperor might be extra merciful to her.The emperor may not really confer the title of imperial hospital envoy to her, for fear that it will pave the way for the title of county lord in the future.After all, Xie Qiao cannot resist the decree again and again.

After retreating from the court, Xi Bochang stood outside the hall waiting for Xie Qiao, and congratulated him, "Congratulations to the county lord."

Xie Qiao said with a smile: "Uncle, congratulations." But in his heart, he was suspicious of the emperor's purpose of canonizing her as the county lord, why bother to test it out?She didn't refuse the post of envoy of the Imperial Hospital, someone will come forward to refute it, and then he will naturally canonize her as the county lord.

"Who do you think is suitable to go to Nanyin?" Xi Bochang looked at Liao Shunhe who was standing still not far away.

"Doctor Liu."

Xi Bochang pondered and said, "Exactly."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and after some greetings, Xi Bochang left and left the palace with Wei Yun.

Xie Qiao noticed a line of sight falling on her, looked back, and saw a handsome man of sixteen or seventeen standing on the steps not far away, wearing a boa robe, and guessed his identity in his heart .

King Yan walked over slowly, stood beside her, looked Xie Qiao up and down and said: "Brother Huang tried every means to bring you into the East Palace, but my father refused because of your low status. Now I personally book you as the head of the county." ...you have some skills."

King Yan stared straight at him without any shyness, but it didn't make people feel uncomfortable.

There was a faint smile on Xie Qiao's face, not bothered by the irony in his words, as if he didn't hear it: "The king of Yan is too famous."

King Yan's eyes flashed, and he said again: "Brother Huang knows, I don't know how happy I should be."

The corner of Xie Qiao's mouth twitched: "Isn't King Yan happy?"

The smile on King Yan's face froze, and his eyes turned cold.

Xie Qiao said in a low voice: "The prince marrying me, should be the last thing you would like to see? After all, the prince may also see that the emperor treats me differently." At the end, the smile on his face gradually deepened. Quite profoundly said: "However, I still look at the prince more comfortably."

King Yan was stunned, but saw Xie Qiaofu salute, brushing past his side and leaving.Looking at her slender but straight figure, the light in her eyes flickered on and off, gradually deepening.After a long time, he suddenly chuckled and walked towards Concubine Shu's Yonghe Palace.

-

Xie Qiao went back to the mansion together with the second master, when Liu Shi heard the news, she immediately said happily: "I will send out invitations, and we will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow." Then he said to the second master: "You invite some masters to come to the mansion. Drinking." Looking at Xie Qiao with deep meaning.

Xie Qiao was taken aback, what Liu's words meant was to invite Liu Shiqing to come to the mansion.

At this time, the third lady heard the news and brought Rong Ning to assist the Duke's mansion, just in time to hear Liu Shi's words, she quickly smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, there are not enough manpower in the mansion, I will help you tomorrow."

Mrs. Liu was about to refuse, but Mrs. Deng turned to congratulate Xie Qiao: "Sister Hua, the third aunt knew that you were a noble person and would have a great fortune. Although she did not marry the prince, it is also a great honor to be named the head of the county by the emperor. Your kindness." After a pause, he approached Xie Qiao and asked, "How many households are there in the food town? I heard that the highest county staple food town is [-], so you must have five hundred?"

Xie Qiao's brows were furrowed tightly, and Deng Shi was really shameless, counting on her several times, he still acted like nothing happened.

Liu's expression changed, and she shouted sharply: "Third siblings!"

Deng said in confusion: "Isn't there?" That means Xie Qiao was not given any rights, but he just had a reputation.

"Is there any? What does it have to do with Third Aunt?" Xie Qiao's face was cold. The emperor rewarded her as the county head probably because of her mother.And she was not given real power, after all, it was because of the man's thoughts, she was born of his mother and a man next to him, and she was a sharp thorn in his heart after all.

However, this is enough!
Deng's heart faltered, but she heard Xie Qiao laugh softly: "Even if there is no food town, I am still a high-ranking county head, and the third aunt has to salute when she sees me."

Deng's complexion changed instantly, blue and white intertwined.

Rong Ning on the side handed the wooden box in her hand to Xie Qiao, biting her lips, her dark eyes sparkled: "Big sister, we didn't mean to frame you...you are fine anyway, why won't you forgive me?" My mother and I? Just now, my mother also cared about you, so she asked this question, why should she speak so harshly? We all know our mistake."

Through the slightly opened wooden box, Xie Qiao saw that it was the face that Rong Ning asked her for at the beginning, and motioned Ming Xiu to accept it, and then said to her: "If all mistakes can be forgiven, there will be no darkness in this world. "

"big sister……"

"You really didn't do it on purpose, you did it on purpose." Xie Qiao's cold eyes were like an ancient well, and a sneer flashed across his slightly raised red lips: "Rong Ning, are you really innocent?"

Rong Ning's face was pale.

Xie Qiao sneered and went back to the yard.

-

On the second day, when the sky was slightly bright, Xie Qiao and Rong Shu stood to entertain the female relatives.

Rong Ning sat in the corner, her gaze fell on Xie Qiao erratically, thinking about something.

Lan Yang and Qin Yu came in together.

The scar on Qin Yu's face had faded to pink, and it was impossible to spot it without looking carefully.

Lan Yang's attitude towards Qin Yu was lukewarm, and he sat down beside Xie Qiao: "I will return the book for you, but the man refused to come out. I went to the door myself, but asked him why he didn't come out. But you gave me a bad face." Blinking, she moved to Xie Qiao's side and asked in a low voice, "Are you discussing marriage with him?"

Xie Qiao nodded.

"Eight sticks can't beat a fart, can you bear such a person?" Lan Yang said incredulously.

Xie Qiao laughed, only a straightforward lady like Lan Yang could say such a thing.

"Try to get along with each other." Xie Qiao's eyes fell on Rong Ning who was leaving from one side, his brows were tightly frowned, fearing that she would be a moth, and motioned for people to stare at her.

"I would like to advise you, don't marry him. It's better than Qin Yu. Although he is arrogant, at least he has a word." Lan Yang caught a glimpse of Liu Shiqing while speaking, his eyes followed him closely, but the words were directed at Xie Qiao. Said: "You are busy first, I have something else to do, I will find you later." Before the words fell, the man left in a hurry.

Lan Yu suddenly appeared behind Xie Qiao and whispered something to her.

Xie Qiao narrowed his eyes half-closed, a flash of cold light flashed, and he walked away quickly.

Seeing this, Qin Yu's eyes flashed with thought, and he followed closely.

In the water pavilion, Rong Ning blocked Yu Qinglan in the corridor, holding the embroidered purse in his hand, staring at his waist and said: "I gave you a sachet last time, but you said you don't like colors, so I embroidered a new one." Sachet." He reached out and handed him the blue-gray sachet embroidered with lotus flowers, staring at his face almost infatuatedly.

The reason why Yu Qinglan didn't reject her outright was because she was Xie Qiao's sister.Now, she harbors evil intentions towards Xie Qiao, and she no longer considers her feelings, and said coldly: "Miss Rong is a lady of every family, so you should know what the meaning of the sachet is, so we should refrain from such acts of giving and receiving privately. "After that, I want to leave.

Rong Ning's face turned pale, and she hurriedly grabbed Yu Qinglan's sleeve, with tears in her eyes, she was about to cry: "My lord, I have fallen in love with you since I saw you in the ink hall tower, and I know that I am not worthy of you." If you don't give up, I will serve you as your concubine." The voice was as low as possible, pleading.

"I don't have that intention." Yu Qinglan's brows turned cold, she brushed her hand away, and said coldly: "Miss Rong, please respect yourself!" She walked away quickly.

"Shizi——" Rong Ning trotted after him with her skirt in hand, slipped and fell to the ground: "Ah——" the sachet fell in front, panicked, picked it up quickly, and wiped off the incense There was dust on the pouch, and he held it tightly in the palm of his hand. Thinking of being rejected by him mercilessly, he squatted on the ground and cried sadly.

"Ning'er, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Deng found her, looked at Rong Ning who was squatting on the ground crying, her heart tightened, and said coldly, "Who bullied you?"

Rong Ning threw herself into Deng's arms, weeping sadly: "Mother, I...I gave the sachet to Prince Rong's son, but he...he didn't accept it."

Deng suddenly understood, her eyes flickered and said: "Silly girl, are you crying about this?"

Rong Ning felt embarrassed, she put aside her womanly reserve and confessed to a man for the first time, but was rejected, how could she feel better?
What's more, she lowered her status to be his concubine, and he refused to agree!
Deng Shi asked Rong Ning to stand up, and said to her: "Mother has a way to let him marry you."

"Really?" Rong Ning's eyes lit up.

Deng whispered a few words in his ear, Rong Ning's eyes darkened, looking at the direction where he left without hesitating, a firm light flashed in his eyes.

-

In the front hall, Yu Qinglan and Qin Yin were sitting together, looking at the third master who was entertaining Marquis An Yuan not far away, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"How is your marriage with Miss Rong San?" Yu Qinglan poured a glass of wine and handed it to him: "Both Zhi'er and Yi'er accept it?"

Qin Yin nodded: "The horoscope has already been combined, there is no problem exchanging Geng Tie, the marriage will be around the end of the year."

"Congratulations." Yu Qinglan clinked glasses with him.

Qin Yin smiled and said: "Princess Rong is also picking for you, I'm afraid there will be a happy event soon."

"Yeah." Yu Qinglan smiled lightly, the smile didn't reach the eyes, revealing a bone-chilling coldness.

At this time, a young servant came and said to Yu Qinglan, "Your Majesty, Miss, please go to the backyard."

Yu Qinglan raised her eyes and saw a man in the front hall, beckoning him to lead the way and following him.

After a while, another person came to communicate and said to Qin Yin: "Second Master Qin, Third Miss, please go and discuss something important with you."

A flash of thought flashed in Qin Yin's eyes, he hesitated for a while, and then said to the boy: "Lead the way."

-

In the backyard, all the female relatives were chatting about homework, and many of them complimented Xie Qiao: "Master, your skin is crystal clear, white and rosy, but there is a recipe for beauty? If you don't want to keep it private, share it with all the sisters. "

Ji Yu jokingly said, "Sister Rong is a descendant of Shennong, and it's hard to find a lot of money. If you share it with us, wouldn't it be a great loss?"

"That's right, I'm afraid Elder Sister Rong won't give up." Su Suxin, the prime minister's daughter, continued Ji Yu's words.

Xie Qiao pushed Ji Yu and said, "You, you are not forgiving." He signaled Ming Xiu to get a prescription.

Ming Xiu put the prescription on the stone table, Su Suxin held it in her hand and looked at it and said: "I'll take it back and make up the medicine first, and then give it to all the sisters."

Ji Yu smiled and said, "You're just quick..."

'what--'

Suddenly there was a scream from the wing room in the backyard, Ji Yu's voice stopped abruptly, and they all looked over.

The smile on the corner of Xie Qiao's mouth froze, and there was ice and snow in his eyes.

　Dear ones, there is a second watch at night, about ten o'clock, tears are running~
