Herb Family [Rebirth]

After the emperor heard that there was a newcomer in the palace, he didn't say much. Instead, he rewarded two maids. He said that he thought that there was no one to take care of King Su's son, so he specially gave the maids.

Su Wangfu naturally accepted the emperor's reward happily.

Turning back, King Su didn't let the maidservant serve the prince, but instead took him into his room. The news reached the emperor's ears, but the emperor just laughed it off, but he underestimated King Su in his heart.

At this time, in King Su's mansion, Bai Heng and Lu Qi were playing chess in the study.

Five days had passed since King Su invited them to the Shizi's courtyard to enjoy the flowers. These days, King Su and Shizi didn't call them again, but the rewards were like flowing water, and they were continuously sent to the Yiyuan.

Bai Heng and Lu Qi recalled the conversation with King Su that day, and knew that King Su was showing off to outsiders, so they accepted it as if they were flattered.

Thinking of the conversation that day, Bai Heng became a little distracted. Lu Qi waited for a long time before he could make a move, and when he looked up, he realized that he was distracted again, so he sighed and put down the chess pieces in his hand.

Bai Heng was brought back to his mind by Lu Qi's sigh, and when he regained his senses, he saw Lu Qi looking at him worriedly, and Bai Heng hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm sorry to keep third brother waiting, is it my turn?" When you finish speaking, you will have to make a fuss.

Lu Qi reached out to hold his hand, and said lightly: "If you can't concentrate, don't force it."

Bai Heng was discouraged after hearing this, and threw the white pieces into the chess box. Seeing this, Lu Qi called someone to come in to clear the chessboard, and asked someone to bring refreshments, and then waved away all the waiters.

When there were only two of them left in the study, Lu Qi said, "Xiao Heng, have you really decided?"

Bai Heng knew what Lu Qi was asking, nodded and said softly, "Do we have any other options?"

Lu Qi choked when he heard that, yes, do they have other options?Now that they have entered King Su's mansion, if they don't stand on King Su's side, how can King Su spare them?

Not to mention that King Su also discovered the secret of Lu Qi's legs and feet.

Now that King Su didn't punish them for a crime of deception, it's already a mercy. If they have other ideas, I'm afraid King Su won't give up easily.

Lu Qi and Bai Heng unconsciously recalled the conversation with King Su that day—

King Su invited Bai Heng and Lu Qi to enjoy the flowers in the Shizi's courtyard, and entertained them with refreshments in the pavilion. At first, Bai Heng and Lu Qi were trembling, waiting for King Su to speak.

But King Su was surprisingly kind to them, and after a while, the two gradually relaxed.

King Su chatted with them about the customs and customs of Tongcheng. Between the questions and answers, the atmosphere on the scene was relaxed and harmonious. Just after asking, King Su began to turn the topic to medicine.

Bai Heng and Lu Qi became vigilant immediately, and they began to answer in consideration, not as casually as before.

As King Su was talking, he finally asked about Lu Qi's legs. Lu Qi and Bai Heng's hearts jumped at the same time, knowing that today's highlight was coming.

Originally, Lu Qi planned to use Bai Heng's medical skills so that King Su would give up the idea of ​​playing with Bai Heng.

It's just that they didn't have time to take action, but Su Wang first released the heavy news. It turned out that Su Wang had known that Lu Qi's legs and feet had healed, and he also knew that Bai Heng had healed them.

Now Lu Qi and Bai Heng's expressions changed, because they didn't know King Su's mind, they hurriedly pleaded guilty.

King Su waved his hand, and said indifferently: "What is the crime? This king is just chatting."

Although what King Su said was simple, Bai Heng and Lu Qi both understood in their hearts, how could this be idle talk?Just judging from King Su's attitude, it seems that he doesn't intend to blame them.

Lu Qi thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Forgive me for talking too much, may I ask when your son's legs were injured?"

King Su raised his eyebrows, and replied lightly: "When the son was ten years old, he accidentally fell off the horse when he was out riding a horse, and broke his leg bone. In addition, the treatment was delayed, so the imperial doctor was helpless."

In just a few words, Lu Qi and Bai Heng got a glimpse of the danger in the palace.

The dignified son of a lord fell off a horse when he went out, even if he fell off a horse, how could the treatment be delayed after breaking his leg?Who dares to delay treatment?If there was no hint behind this matter, Lu Qi and Bai Heng would not believe it.

It's just a prying out of the dangers of the palace, so what, the two of them have entered the palace now, so they can't stay out of it.

Even if they want to stay out of the matter, it depends on whether King Su agrees.

King Su's conversation just now has already explained King Su's attitude. Bai Heng and Lu Qi have already boarded King Su's ship, so don't even think about getting off the ship halfway.

Thinking of this, Bai Heng said: "Thanks to the Lord for not giving up, Caomin is willing to give it a try."

After King Su heard this, his face finally softened a little, but he also knew that the matter of healing the prince must not be put on the table, so after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "This king likes to play chess. If you have a plan, then come and play chess with me in the future."

"Yes, Cao Min obeys." Bai Heng respectfully complied. ...

The conversation of that day ended when Bai Heng agreed to go to King Su's study every five days.

And today is the fifth day, so Bai Heng and Lu Qi had been waiting for King Su to send someone to summon them early.

It's just that the two of them were sitting in the study, waiting left and right, but they didn't wait until King Su sent someone, and finally they waited until the old mother in the concubine's yard came.

It turned out that the concubine thought that the two of them hadn't seen each other for some time after entering the mansion, so she wanted to call them over to talk.

Bai Heng and Lu Qi responded in a hurry. After tidying up briefly, they followed the old mother to the concubine's yard.

When Bai Heng and Lu Qi arrived, they heard that the princess was also talking with the concubine in the dowager's room.

The two of them looked at each other, both of them were full of energy, and stood in the yard waiting for the princess to be summoned.

In the room, Concubine Tai was sitting on the main seat, chatting casually with Concubine Wang about the affairs of the mansion, and accompanied by several concubines of King Su.

In addition to one main concubine, King Su also had two side concubines, and several concubines under the side concubines.

Except for the concubine who was granted marriage by order of the emperor, the other side concubines or concubines were all begged by King Su himself.

Among them, Concubine Xia was very favored by King Su, and gave birth to King Su's eldest daughter for King Su.

It's just that apart from the eldest son born by the concubine and a few daughters born by concubines, no one in the house has any children. Among them, several concubines were also pregnant, but they all had miscarriages.

Therefore, even if the princess is not favored by the prince, no one can shake her position in the mansion.

However, the two side concubines relied on being favored and did not pay much attention to the princess. Just like at this time, side concubine Xia ignored the angry eyes of the princess and said: "Taifei, sister Ying said a while ago Yes, the flowers in the palace are blooming just right, I want to invite some sisters to play in the palace."

The Sister Ying that Concubine Xia spoke of was the eldest daughter she gave birth to King Su. Although she was not the eldest daughter, she was the only one in the palace.Other concubines also gave birth to several daughters for King Su, but because the birth mother's status was too low, those concubine daughters were incomparable to Sister Ying.

Su Wang also loved his eldest daughter very much, and once wanted to record the eldest daughter under the name of the princess.

It's just because the princess objected, so nothing happened.

After all, King Su's daughter is not like a concubine in an ordinary family. It is enough to open an ancestral hall and record it on the genealogy. Recorded sister Ying in the jade plate.

If you want to change it to the name of the concubine, you have to write a letter to the emperor. After the emperor approves, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion. Follow the rules, which can be said to be very troublesome.

King Su could bypass the princess and directly write a letter to the emperor, but as I said before, since the princess is the emperor's person, the emperor would not let his heart down, so he suppressed King Su's request.

One year or two years passed like this, and the matter was put on hold.

It was also because the concubine did not nod for a long time that Sister Ying could only bear the name of the concubine's eldest daughter. For this reason, Concubine Xia tore a few handkerchiefs, but there was nothing she could do.

I can only find fault with other things, and it will be uncomfortable for the princess.

The concubine sees the fight between the concubine and the concubine Xia, but she doesn't favor one side. After all, the daughter-in-law she was optimistic about was not the concubine, but because of an imperial decree, Concubine Su decided.

After Concubine Su entered the mansion, Concubine Tai's attitude has always been indifferent, and the next two concubines are not the candidates that Concubine Xia favors, so seeing Concubine Xia and Concubine Xia fighting to the death, Concubine Xia has the right to watch the show up.

At this time, after hearing Concubine Xia's words, Concubine Xia was happy to lift Concubine Xia's face to hit Wang Concubine, so she nodded and said: "Sister Ying is the first among the girls in the house. Since she wants to hold a banquet, Concubine Wang will You have to do your best, and Concubine Xia can also help."

After listening to the concubine's words, the concubine hated her so much that the concubine had pushed Concubine Xia to divide power, but she couldn't show her face face to face, so she had to curse the old witch a few times, then said with a dry smile: "Daughter-in-law can save it."

The gnashing of teeth in the tone can be heard by anyone with ears.

The concubine naturally could hear it, so she felt displeased, pulled her face down and said: "Princess, don't forget, sister Ying is also your daughter, if you are not big enough, you will not nod for a long time to remember sister Ying. Under the name, there is no need for Concubine Xia to bother now."

The concubine almost jumped up when she heard the words. She is not childless, so she doesn't need a concubine who can't stand on the stage, even if the son is crippled, she is the son of the emperor himself!

She suppressed her anger and said with a blank expression: "The daughter-in-law has already broken her heart for the son, so how can she have the energy to take care of other children? Besides, Concubine Xia is the biological mother of sister Ying, so why can't she be as dedicated as my aunt?" ?”

Without waiting for Concubine Tai and Concubine Xia to speak, Concubine Wang continued: "Besides, if Sister Ying is recorded under the name of her daughter-in-law, and the concubine is still a concubine, could it be that other people in Beijing will look at Sister Ying highly?"

Hearing this, side concubine Xia almost vomited blood with hatred. The concubine was implying something, wasn't she aimed at her?

The other people present also heard that the princess was referring to Sang and scolding Huai. No matter how favored your side concubine Xia is, the side concubine is a side concubine, so can you still be regarded as the main wife?Could it be that other noble ladies in Beijing would look at you with high regard?
