Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 199 The target of public criticism
No one in the room had a clear heart, and all of them changed color immediately.And when they found that the emperor had no intention of hiding it, they looked at the merchant woman frequently, and Kong Linglong's seat suddenly became a target of public criticism.

They were thinking, the emperor's rare appearance today is because of this... woman?
It's unbelievable to think about it from any direction, but the square-inch table and Kong Linglong have already attracted most hateful eyes.

Fu Ling is the most sensitive towards women, she was startled immediately, and whispered to Kong Linglong: "What should I do, Miss?"

There was also wine in front of Kong Linglong, but she hadn't touched a drop of wine, which just made the emperor say lightly: "Why don't you drink, don't you like the jade wine in this palace?"

Yupu wine is unique in the palace, and it is specially used by the queen to entertain special female relatives, because this wine has a soft aftertaste and does not make people feel spicy.

Kong Linglong lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty is laughing. Women don't dare. The reason why they don't drink alcohol is because they are allergic to it since they were young. There is really no chance to try any good wine."

At this time because of physical illness, if the emperor refuses to drink alcohol, if the emperor insists, it will be as if she is embarrassing her, so everyone can see a dark light flashing in the eyes of the Ninth Five Lord: "Allergies?"

The queen next to her immediately smoothed things over: "It seems that I didn't consider it, and didn't know that Linglong is not good at drinking. If that's the case, just serve a cup of tea instead."

Concubine Liang put down the cup in her hand at this time, and said: "Is there anyone in the business world who can't drink alcohol? Miss Kong is the head of the Confucian family. When talking about business with people, she doesn't drink at all. Will buy your account too?"

She is not a queen, she doesn't need to worry about the faces of those "mothers of the country", and what she said is also the truth that everyone knows.

It's impossible for a woman to roll around in the mall and develop the store to such a large scale that she didn't put in the effort.This is also the reason why those noble ladies showed disdain when they heard about Kong Linglong's identity just now, even if she was personally invited by the empress.

They think that the girls in the shopping mall are only a little stronger than those in the entertainment field.

Everyone stared at Kong Linglong, and Kong Linglong also said at this time: "It is true that women of the people cannot drink alcohol, but if because of the women of the people, they spoil the interest of your Majesty or the concubine, the women of the people are willing to do it first as a respect."

The imperial concubine finished speaking just now, but the emperor did not stop it, which meant that he probably agreed with the imperial concubine's thoughts.

At this time, the queen acted as a peacemaker again: "Okay, I believe that Linglong can't drink, her body is serious, and the imperial concubine doesn't have to think so. Although Linglong is a businessman, she is not the same age as all the noble ladies present." The difference is that she is still a girl waiting to be married, so it's okay if she doesn't know how to drink."

It seemed that she was still speaking for Kong Linglong, but with the previous events, now she felt inexplicably that the queen and the imperial concubine were singing bad faces and the other bad faces.Concubine Liang sneered.

At this time, Kong Linglong slightly raised her eyes and looked at the unpredictable emperor in the gazebo: "My Majesty, Linglong can drink, please forgive Linglong's crime of disrespect in front of the palace, after all, Linglong is not afraid of physical illness, but If there is an act of disrespect in the meeting, it will offend His Majesty and the Empress."

Concubine Liang Guifei is deliberately not mentioned here, and the other noble ladies also showed their tacit intentions.They also didn't believe the nonsense that Kong Linglong didn't know how to drink. Judging from her previous performance, the rumors in Beijing were indeed true. If you are allergic, do you expect His Majesty to take pity on you?
And Kong Linglong lowered her eyes slightly, and had already reached out to pick up the cup on the table. Seeing this, Fuling blurted out as if anxiously: "Miss, if you are really allergic, then..."

The queen heard the reason, "But what?"

However, Concubine Liang scolded: "Sure enough, they are servants trained by merchants. They dare to be so unruly in the palace. What are you shouting about?"

In any case, it was wrong for Fu Ling to speak out rashly. The queen paused for a moment, and then said softly: "You may as well, tell me first, what will happen to your lady if she gets drunk? Will it... endanger her life?"

Fu Ling was surprised when the queen asked this question, she immediately lowered her head and responded: "I will report to your mother, it is not necessary to endanger your life, but my young lady will have rashes all over her body, all over the skin, and I don't know how long it will disappear, so Miss...Miss That's why I'm worried about losing my dignity in front of the palace."

Responses and answers were quick, and there was no reason for deliberation. The queen's expression became meaningful.

In fact, if it was Kong Linglong or Yu'er, it was too much of an excuse to say that drinking alcohol would cause allergies to be in danger.And the queen also thought of it, most of the imperial physicians in the palace are imperial physicians, Kong Linglong dared to say that, she let her drink wine, and immediately ordered the imperial physician to "diagnose and treat" her.

But I didn't want to, and there was a smile next to me: "Your Majesty and the Queen don't have to be too embarrassed. I can check if this Miss Linglong is sick. If the result is really not good, maybe I can help her." a handful."

As soon as this remark came out, both the emperor and the empress looked over in surprise. It was Mrs. Qinghe who spoke. At this time, she was smiling, as if she had been listening to the argument just now.

Immediately, everyone present seemed to have been awakened. Yes, this is Mrs. Qinghe, one of the most proficient Chinese medicine practitioners in the imperial city. With her here, there is no need to hire a doctor.

The queen suddenly showed joy: "It's a coincidence that I have forgotten my wife. With my wife's skillful hand, why should I find someone else." That is completely unnecessary.

At this time, the queen looked over with a smile, and looked at Kong Linglong: "Linglong, you are the right person today, let Mrs. Qinghe take your pulse, if you really have allergies, you can do it with your wife here." Don't worry about it."

Who doesn't know that Mrs. Qinghe's medical skills are far superior to anyone today, but she is a noble person, and everyone only asks the legend that she has never seen it, but when the Queen Mother was seriously ill, all the people in the capital were helpless. Three days later, relying on a silver needle to measure the acupoints, the empress dowager is still alive until now.

This is how many years Mrs. Qinghe has not shown her face, but as long as the queen mother in the palace is still sitting safely, even the emperor and queen will respect this lady.

Kong Linglong smiled lightly, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head: "Thank you, Ma'am."

She slowly got up from the banquet, even though Kong Linglong's master and servant didn't know, the emperor's attitude towards this lady was already obvious enough, this time, she naturally couldn't wait for Mrs. Qinghe to take the initiative to diagnose her pulse.

Kong Linglong walked forward slowly, and walked towards the place where Mrs. Qinghe and the empress were. It seemed that her complexion was normal, and her steps were calm and steady.

But Kong Linglong's heart was already covered with frost.

When she came to her, Kong Linglong bowed to Mrs. Qinghe again, stretched out her hand calmly, and just reached the handkerchief.

Mrs. Qinghe raised Rou Yi's two fingers, and pressed Kong Linglong's pulse.

Kong Linglong lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was standing quietly, avoiding anyone's gaze.

Mrs. Qinghe took her pulse leisurely, and looked at Kong Linglong a few times with vague eyes. Even in the eyes of the queen, it was a normal kind of staring.

After only a short while, Mrs. Qinghe withdrew her hand, smiled slightly at Kong Linglong and said, "Your symptoms are nothing serious, it's okay if girls can't drink, if you really mind, I'll give you a prescription later, You just take it for a while, and it will be fine."

The words were peaceful, but Kong Linglong's hand on the handkerchief visibly trembled. She almost immediately exchanged glances with Mrs. Qinghe, only to see that the smiling eyes of the other party did not change at all. She was startled. Why did this lady want to Lie for her?

Before coming here, Kong Linglong asked Fu Ling to develop a medicine. After being exposed to wine, rashes would indeed appear all over her body.

... But this madam, since even the queen said that she has excellent medical skills, there is no reason why she can't be diagnosed that she has no illness, why didn't she tell the truth?
But the empress of the other side had already reacted, with a smile on her lips: "Linglong, you have to thank Madam, Madam has not checked the pulse of others for almost ten years."

Hearing this, Kong Linglong was startled immediately, and solemnly folded her sleeves and bowed again: "Linglong, thank you madam."

Madam Qinghe looked at her and smiled faintly.

Afterwards, Kong Linglong turned around and returned to the table. This time, her gaze was mixed with jealousy. The merchant woman was really lucky. She was invited by the queen, met the emperor, and now she was being diagnosed by Mrs. Qinghe. Things that I haven't encountered in several years, this merchant woman has encountered them all in one day, how can it not be disgusting.

And Fu Ling has been sweating since Kong Linglong came to the stage. Seeing Kong Linglong come back now, she couldn't help being overjoyed. She couldn't figure out why, but she was happy that the lady was safe and sound.

And after this incident, the emperor looked at Kong Linglong with some deep meaning, as if he had seen enough of one thing, with some kind of understanding.

This episode was quickly overshadowed by the slick queen, "Come here, change a pot of Longjing tea for Miss Kong in the morning."

In fact, Kong Linglong didn't want to drink tea or wine, but she couldn't make it obvious, and since she had changed it this time, many things were naturally safe in secret, so she drank it calmly and belonged to her alone this time. The Shifeng Longjing in the pot was once again baptized by the eyes of the women.

Now all the girls have concluded that the merchant women who came out are not simple. They may not have participated in the last flower banquet, but the rumors in the boudoir have not stopped for a moment. This merchant woman got involved, and now she can't turn herself around.

Looking at it now, could it be that this seductive woman has already seduced her into the palace by some means, and even allowed the queen to match her up in person, and now she still has the stance of entering the harem?Otherwise, how to explain the emperor's arrival this time?
Later, the queen finally smiled and asked a female family member: "It is agreed that today's lottery will be rewarded by His Majesty himself, Yun'er has decided to ask His Majesty what he wants?"

Asking for a reward from the emperor, and getting permission in advance, is like a treasure given by a golden mouth. Many people in the world probably don't understand the preciousness of the emperor's promise.

Fu Ling pinched Kong Linglong's sleeves tightly. Ever since the emperor said that, her heart has not been at peace.

And that woman named Yun'er is the daughter of a family of three dynasties, she is dignified and virtuous, sitting in the middle of this place is like another concubine of the emperor.

And the request she made next was also full of shyness: "I only want to play the piano for Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to agree."

Such a good opportunity, but actually only hoped that the emperor would listen to the piano, which is enough to show that Yun'er's mind is not simple.

And her request also won the emperor's satisfaction: "Zuzao."

Yun'er smiled, and immediately someone respectfully offered her a lyre from the palace. Yun'er tried the sound, and the sound was really good.

So Yun'er started to play, the melody was so beautiful that even those who don't know the melody would find it pleasant, not to mention the emperor and concubine, who has not been proficient in melody since childhood, and can tell that it is not mediocre.

Sure enough, after Yun'er finished playing, Long Xin was very happy, and even rewarded him with a priceless Fengweiqin.

Yun'er is happy to thank you.

The queen still did not forget to praise: "Yun'er's piano skills were said by the head of the Yunfu family last year to be the best at that time. As expected, such a fairy sound is far better than the Mimi I have heard before. I am worried that I will not listen to others in the future. It's a tune."

The Yunfu aristocratic family is not a real family, but a place where the most famous quyi talent in the world stays. The patriarch there is the number one violinist in the world. No one will come out to fight.

Afterwards, the queen asked the rest of the women, and sure enough, all of them were cunning and clever, and performed for the queen in different ways, none of them really asked for anything, although there was no blockbuster like Yun'er, they still did not give up.

When she arrived at Kong Linglong, she was just finishing the tea in the cup when she heard the queen say softly, "Linglong, do you have anything to ask from His Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, the yard was very quiet, everyone was watching how Kong Linglong would answer.

The queen deliberately put it at the end to ask, whether she wanted to make Kong Linglong the focus of attention again, or she was doing another test for the emperor, to see if the daughter of the merchant family who held the old pilgrimage decree had any request to her majesty today.

When Kong Linglong heard the queen's question, she left the table first like other noble ladies, went to the open space and knelt down, "Minister, thank you Your Majesty and Empress, but the status of a commoner is incomparable with all the noble ladies, so of course I can't." I want His Majesty to reward you."

The queen smiled: "You were invited by the palace, and you are a distinguished guest like everyone else here, so don't underestimate yourself."

The queen said so, if Kong Linglong didn't follow up and still refused to speak, then she was going against the queen's wishes.

Everyone watched with cold eyes what the merchant woman could do. Kong Linglong knelt on the ground and raised her face.

After a moment of silence, there seemed to be a smile on her pretty face, and then she did what everyone wished—or said a word that everyone didn't expect: "In this case, the daughter of the people dares to ask Your Majesty for a calligraphy, and I hope His Majesty will approve it. "
