The next day, the Queen Mother had just had breakfast when the Queen came with her concubines to say hello.

After the ceremony, the Queen said with concern: "Your Majesty, my concubines know that you have pain in your legs and you couldn't sleep last night, so you came to see me early in the morning. I wonder how your Queen Mother feels today. Is it getting better?"

The Queen Mother said with a bright smile: "The Ai family knows that you are filial. However, this old problem of the Ai family may not be cured in a while."

Standing behind the Queen, Concubine Zhou said: "Even if it's an old problem, it doesn't happen all the time. The weather has been fine these past few days, so I should be fine. I must have been during my concubine's massage yesterday..."

The Queen Mother's expression darkened, and she interrupted: "The Ai family said it's an old problem. You always blame Concubine Zhen. Concubine Zhen has done nothing wrong in the past few years since she entered the palace. You still have to regard harmony as the most important thing. Don't do it. Adding trouble to the Emperor!"

Concubine Zhou quickly admitted her mistake: "I know I was wrong!"

The Queen said: "The Queen Mother's lesson is correct, but since it is a painful illness, it still needs to be treated. How can we let the Queen Mother drag on and suffer!"

After saying that, he turned to Concubine Zhen and said, "Concubine Zhen, I will leave this matter to you. For the health of the Queen Mother, you must be more attentive!"

The concubine looked frightened and didn't know what to do. She nervously raised her head and glanced at the little eunuch beside the Queen Mother.

Seeing the little eunuch whom Hu Caidi called Eunuch Ye, nodded slightly towards her.

Concubine Zhen felt relieved and replied: "Don't worry, Queen. I know that I am guilty, so how dare I neglect you? Last night, I learned a few massage techniques. Maybe, maybe it can relieve the Queen Mother's pain."

"Oh?" The Queen smiled slightly, "Why don't you give it a try soon?"

All the concubines looked at Concubine Zhen, and they all seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Concubine Zhen knew that these foxes seemed to be expecting her to heal the Queen Mother's pain, but in fact they were expecting her to continue to make a fool of herself.

She knew she had no cure, so she felt uneasy.

However, now that the matter had come to this, she could not hesitate for a moment and could only hope for a miracle to happen.

Concubine Zhen stepped forward, knelt on the ground, raised the Queen Mother's calf, and kneaded it gently.

Queen Mother's Syndrome is caused by long-term pampering and lack of activity, resulting in weak joints and poor ability to withstand pressure. In addition, as we age, the blood becomes thicker, causing stasis and obstruction. It is a common disease among the elderly.

Ye Qingchen secretly activated his spiritual power and poured it into the Queen Mother's body, using soothing power to gradually clear the Chize, Quze, Zhaohai, Taixi and other acupoints.

After a while, the Queen Mother suddenly straightened her back and said in surprise:

"Hey, what's going on?"

The queen asked hurriedly: "Queen Mother, what's wrong?"

Concubine Zhou asked: "Did I press you again and it hurts?"

Zhenbi looked nervous and at a loss.

The Queen Mother stood up, took two steps back and forth in the room, and said happily: "The pain in Aijia's leg is as if someone suddenly took it away from the body. It disappeared without a trace in an instant!"

"what?"

The queen screamed in disbelief and felt rude, so she asked: "It's actually... so magical?"

The Queen Mother was overjoyed. She helped the concubine up with her own hands and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you have such skills. If you had used them earlier, you wouldn't have let the Ai family suffer all these years in vain!"

Concubine Zhen said guiltily: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I have only just learned how to do it."

"Okay, great!" The Queen Mother sat on the chair.

All the concubines didn't know why, and they all found it incredible.

The queen's plan to punish the concubine failed, and her face showed a look of resentment that could not be concealed.

Ye Qingchen said: "The Queen Mother has recovered from her leg pain, so why is the Queen unhappy?"

Hearing this, all the concubines were shocked. They didn't expect that a little eunuch would dare to say such a thing. Even if he is favored by the Queen Mother, it is unthinkable to challenge the Queen's authority like this.

"Nonsense!" The Queen glared at Ye Qingchen, then hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, I am very happy. I just regretted that I didn't learn this craft earlier, so that I could relieve the Queen Mother's worries earlier!"

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and nodded.

Ye Qingchen said again: "Queen Mother, since Concubine Zhen's massage method is quite effective, why not ask her to come over often to give you massage. Maybe after some time, this old problem can be cured!"

"Okay!" said the Queen Mother, patting the armrest of the chair.

All the concubines showed envy, jealousy and hatred at the same time, and the queen's face became even more ugly.

According to the etiquette of the Qian Dynasty, the concubines must be led by the queen to pay greetings to the queen mother and come together as a group. No one can get close to the Queen Mother in private. This not only reduces the reception burden for the Queen Mother, but also prevents excessive competition among concubines.

Concubines like Zhen were not favored by the emperor and suppressed by the queen mother, so they could only endure silently in the palace. There is no certain day in the future when he will suffer injustice and die without knowing why. This kind of thing is too common in the harem.

However, if you can always be by the Queen Mother's side, even if you don't have a holy favor, you will at least have a strong backer. As long as the Queen Mother lives, at least her body will be safe.

Concubine Zhen looked so flattered that she forgot to agree for a moment.

"Concubine, are you willing?" the Queen Mother asked.

As if she had just woken up from a dream, the concubine was so excited that tears came to her eyes. She hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am willing, I am honored to do so!"

……

After leaving Cining Palace, all the concubines had their own concerns and went back to their bedrooms.

Everyone else was gloomy, but Zhenbi was the only one who was smiling.

Back at Yuhua Palace, the maids were all very happy after listening to Zhen Concubine narrate what happened today, and congratulated Concubine Zhen one after another.

The Yuhua Palace was filled with laughter and joy. They had not been so happy for a long time.

A maid named Xiaohuan said happily: "I didn't expect that the Queen Mother was so skilled and cured the Queen Mother in one fell swoop. Now with the Queen Mother's protection, no one dares to bully us."

Concubine Zhen said: "It's strange to say that I know very well that my skills are very crude and I can't even grasp the acupuncture points accurately. How could the Queen Mother suddenly stop feeling pain?"

Xiaohuan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Could it be that the empress pinched it just right because she was crooked?"

"Impossible!" Zhenbi said, "To massage acupuncture points, you need to apply continuous force on the corresponding acupuncture points to be effective. How is it possible to hit it wrongly?"

Another maid named Ling'er suddenly said in disbelief: "Oh my God, the Queen Mother can't be... can't she be just pretending?"

Concubine Zhen frowned slightly and said: "I think so too, but I find it too incredible. How can that little eunuch have such great influence? He can actually make the noble Queen Mother willingly accompany me, a concubine who has fallen out of favor, to act like this. A show?"

"Didn't the empress just say that she would often ask you to give massages to the Queen Mother in the future? Was it Eunuch Ye's idea as well? It shows that he is indeed deeply favored by the Queen Mother. Otherwise, how can a young eunuch have any say in front of the Queen Mother? "Xiaohuan said.

Concubine Zhen looked up at Hu Caidi, who had been silent all this time, and said, "Xiaodie, how do you know this Eunuch Ye?"

"I...I am..." Xiaodie lowered her head, her face was slightly red, and hesitantly said, "I just met him accidentally!"

Concubine Zhen smiled slightly, and without asking further questions, she ordered: "Anyway, Eunuch Ye is very kind to our Yuhua Palace. You guys, cook a table of delicious dishes tonight. Xiaodie went to invite him, I will I need to thank him properly!"
