As soon as Aunt Chen entered the hall and looked at the imperial concubine, she quickly knelt down to say hello and said: "I would like to express my greetings to the imperial concubine. May your concubine be blessed with peace of mind!"
"Auntie, please get up quickly. Forsythia will show my seat to my aunt."
Ningxi glanced at Qingtan, and Qingtan understood and hurriedly walked to her mother to help her up, whispering: "Mom~"
Hearing her daughter's pitiful voice, Aunt Chen's heart felt very soft for a moment. She took her hand and said softly: "My dear, my little girl has caused you trouble."
"Auntie is worrying too much. My cousin is very sensible." Ningxi looked at this scene and thought to herself, maybe her cousin heard the wrong thing!
After the mother and daughter sat down, Aunt Chen's family finally saw her daughter's eyes were red. This~ Her daughter had been pampered by her elders at home since she was a child, but she still had a coquettish temperament. When she met His eyes would turn red at the slightest thing, and now his eyes were like rabbit eyes, but when he saw her getting along with the imperial concubine, there was nothing different about her!
Aunt Chen's family looked at her daughter. Ningxi, who was sitting at the top, was thinking about how to introduce the topic. The main hall of Yongfu Palace was quiet for a while.
However, Shen Qingtan couldn't be patient. She knew that the imperial concubine would be in trouble if she spoke rashly, so she spoke directly.
"Mom, my daughter heard yesterday that you and your father were going to marry your daughter to your brother-in-law, and she was going to be a stepmother to my two nephews!"
As soon as these words were said, Ning Xi was blocked, and Aunt Chen was stunned. It turned out that the cat outside the study last night was her daughter!
Aunt Chen's family sighed softly: "I'll make you laugh, my dear!" Ningxi waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, my aunt and I are a family."
"My wife never imagined that my daughter would bother me with such trivial matters. This is really inappropriate!"
Ningxi interrupted Aunt Chen's words at the right time and said, "Auntie, what you said is wrong. Your daughter's marriage is related to her happiness in the rest of her life. How can it be said to be a trivial matter?"
"Even though my cousin has reached the marriageable age, my aunt and uncle should not have made such a hasty decision. Besides, the imperial concubine is really incapable of medicine and food. How could she possibly offend my aunt like this?"
When the Chen family's aunt heard what the concubine said, she immediately stood up and said, "My concubine, I know that I am guilty."
"What's wrong with my aunt? You just love your daughter so much and are afraid that your grandson will be mistreated by others in the future. However, I advise you not to make a decision too early and make your cousin displeased. I will take care of your son's behalf." The concubine asked the emperor to send someone from the imperial hospital to treat the patient."
"Thank you, ma'am!"
"In that case, Qingtan should stay in the palace for a few days. There are many outstanding young talents in the Dai Viet Dynasty. Auntie should choose carefully."
Auntie Chen knew that the imperial concubine was promoting her own daughter, even if her daughter was in the palace. The provincial old lady had an idea for her younger daughter, so she said respectfully: "I respect your imperial concubine's decree!"
As soon as Aunt Chen left, Ningxi told Forsythia, "Forsythia, go and call Yuzhu. I have something to arrange for her."
"Yes, Master!" Forsythia knew that her master wanted Yuzhu to go to Xuanpinghou Mansion to visit the Crown Princess, so she did not dare to delay and trotted all the way to Yuzhu's place.
Unfortunately, Yuzhu was not at her resting place. Today, Dr. Li from Taiyuan Hospital asked her to go to Taiyuan Hospital to help distribute Chinese herbal medicine. Forsythia asked the palace maid who lived with her to find out the news, and hurried to the Imperial Hospital.
Yuzhu looked at Forsythia who was panting slightly, and felt panicked. Could it be that something happened to the master? But then he cursed himself again, don't say that the master's medical skills are better than your own, there is no one in Yongfu Palace who can surpass Sister Forsythia!
Along the way, Forsythia explained the matter clearly, and Yuzhu's sullen face also softened. But why did the master become so enthusiastic about the Chen family in the capital?
"Greetings, Master!"
"Let's get up~" Ningxi brought Yuzhu to the inner room, took out a small gourd bottle from the bottom of the makeup box in the inner room, looked at Yuzhu and solemnly explained: "Take this Yuzhu, it's necessary. It can be used when the time comes!”
Yuzhu looked at the little jade gourd and said in surprise: "Master, how can this be done?" Yuzhu served his master since she was a child. She naturally knew what the jade gourd contained. It was such a precious thing, but the master wanted to give it to him. For the concubines of the Xuanping Hou family!
"Master, is this too expensive?" Yuzhu asked hesitantly.
Ning Xi shook his head and said: "This is just an accidental treatment by me. It's good to be able to help. If it doesn't work, it depends on God's will."
Although the master said it was accidental, this small pill, not to mention the medicinal materials collected, just said that the medicine was made by the master after spending many months of hard work.
After leaving the inner room, Yuzhu took out the small jade gourd and showed it to Sister Forsythia. Forsythia took it and couldn't help being surprised. Then she thought that their master was now in the harem, and the world was full of emperors. What was a mere expensive medicinal material?
"Yuzhu, don't make a fuss. Our master can have as much medicine as he wants in this small bottle, but refining it requires some effort."
Yuzhu opened her mouth, blaming herself for being stupid, and wondering who had opened her mouth so wide just now, and now she had the nerve to teach her!
"Sister Forsythia, my master has just asked you to accompany me to the Xuanping Hou Mansion."
Forsythia nodded and said that she already knew. How could the master trust Yuzhu to leave the palace alone? She had to be accompanied by Forsythia.
——Xuanpinghou Mansion——
When the housekeeper received the news from the concierge, he immediately rushed to inform his wife, "Madam, there is someone in the imperial concubine's palace!"
Xu Qingrong, the wife of Marquis Xuanping, was stunned when she heard this, and then asked: "Do you know why they came?"
"The person who came reported that the imperial concubine sent someone to diagnose and treat the imperial concubine."
"The Crown Princess? What is the relationship between our noble concubine and the Crown Princess? Does she even care about the affairs of the minister's family?"
"Madam, the imperial concubine's natal family and the imperial concubine are nephews."
When Xu Qingrong heard this, she continued to ask: "Isn't my mother-in-law's niece the Queen's Empress?"
The housekeeper secretly sighed, no wonder the madam is not interested in worldly affairs. If the imperial concubine hadn't suddenly fallen ill, the madam would still be chanting sutras in her own Buddhist hall. "The imperial concubine is us, and we are cousins with the Shen family."
Cousins? That is to say, her biological mother left her biological niece alone and instead begged the imperial concubine. Xu Qingrong couldn't understand it, but she had no idea, "In that case, housekeeper, please lead her to the imperial concubine's courtyard. Lixia helped Madam and I go to the Buddhist hall, and I went to chant sutras and let the Bodhisattva bless my wife there to recover soon." She really didn't want to take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion!
The housekeeper and Lixia looked at each other and shook their heads. It was really hard to find a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the entire capital who could get along as well as the wife and the royal concubine. The lady was too Buddhist. What could servants like them do? Just obey Madam's arrangements.
