Seeing Shen Wei taking the detoxifying medicine, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but think of the chronic poison she was infected with.
The queen was vicious and bribed the imperial physician to increase the dosage of medicinal ingredients in Shen Wei's contraceptive soup. If she hadn't been discovered in time, Shen Wei would probably have died soon.
Not only Shen Wei was harmed, but the Queen Mother and Le You almost fell victim as well.
The Queen represents the Tan Tai family.
Li Yuanjing fell into a brief silence.
And inside the Qinghua Palace, Tan Tai Yin Xue, dressed in elegant purple, was still waiting.
She has been a lady who has been specially trained by her family since she was young. She is both beautiful and talented, and is full of poetry and books. The concubines in the palace are like withered flowers, aging and losing their beauty. Tan Tai Yinxue has an absolute age advantage.
The queen is useless, and Tan Tai Yin Xue is ambitious.
She would never be as stupid and foolish as Tan Tai Shu Ya and dig her own grave. Tan Tai Yinxue plans to adopt the queen's children, give birth to her own prince, and ascend the throne of queen with the help of the Tan Tai family.
She wants to be the new mother of the nation!
Tan Tai Yin Xue secretly thought that with her noble birth, the Emperor would definitely confer her the title of noble lady. If I'm lucky, I might even be promoted to a concubine and sleep with her tonight.
The Qinghua Hall was quiet and everyone was waiting for the emperor's reward.
Lu Yun, who was sitting in the ladies' seat, silently clutched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling a sense of crisis. In Lu Yun's dream, after Queen Tan Tai Shu Ya passed away, the Tan Tai family sent Tan Tai Yin Xue into the palace.
Tan Tai Yinxue was favored for a period of time. Later, the Tan Tai family angered the emperor, and the direct descendants were confiscated and exterminated, while the side branches were exiled to a bitter and cold place. Tan Tai Yinxue was also banished to the cold palace and died of depression without causing much stir in the harem.
"Strange, the future is different from the one in my dream." Lu Yun muttered to herself.
At this time, the emperor behind the pearl curtain spoke slowly in a deep voice: "As expected of the daughter of the Tantai family, she is an excellent zither player and very beautiful. She wears a purple skirt, like a blooming crape myrtle."
Tan Tai Yin Xue's cheeks flushed and her heart was beating fast.
Although she had a family mission to fulfill, Tan Tai Yin Xue was still moved when she saw such a young and handsome emperor.
It would be a blessing if you could be the only one favored by the emperor.
The emperor on the throne spoke slowly, "There are many crape myrtles planted in Huayang Palace. I will make you a concubine and let you live in Huayang Palace."
When these words were spoken, everyone at the table was shocked.
Especially the confident Tan Tai Yinxue, her beautiful eyes widened. I thought the emperor would at least confer her the title of noble lady, but in the end, he only conferred her the low-ranking title of concubine.
According to the concubine system of the Qing Kingdom formulated by the Ministry of Rites, the ranks of concubines from high to low are: Empress, Imperial Concubine, Consort, Imperial Concubine, Honored Lady, Imperial Concubine, and Beauty.
Li Yuanjing only appointed Tan Tai Yin Xue as a concubine, without giving her a separate palace, and she had to live in Lan Bin's Huayang Palace.
Tan Tai Yin Xue almost lost control, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. It was Old Madam Tan Tai who stepped forward, firmly grasped Tan Tai Yin Xue's hand, and reminded her: "Why don't you kowtow and thank me?"
Old Madam Tan Tai sighed in her heart.
The emperor was still venting his anger on the queen, and was also resentful towards the Tan Tai family. But it doesn’t matter, time will wear away everything, and the emperor’s anger will sooner or later be wiped out over the years.
As long as Tan Tai Yin Xue is favored and gives birth to a prince, the family will be able to continue to prosper.
Tan Tai Yinxue was not stupid either, and she quickly understood what Madam Tan Tai was thinking. As long as you enter the palace, there is hope of being favored.
She was very beautiful and had learned many secret techniques from an experienced old maid. As long as the emperor entered her bed, she had her own charming means to keep his heart.
So, Tan Tai Yin Xue kowtowed to express her gratitude, without any reluctance on her face, and her eyes looking at the emperor were still full of admiration.
After being conferred the title, Tan Tai Yin Xue followed the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department and left Qing Hua Palace to prepare to enter the palace.
Concubine Lan is the principal of Huayang Palace, and she is the master of the palace.
"If you live in my territory, I will never let you make any waves." Concubine Lan secretly clenched the handkerchief in her hand. If Tan Tai Yinxue entered her territory, he would forget about having a good life.
After the interlude, the actors from the vocal troupe began their singing and dancing performance, and the orchestral music started, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Li Yuanjing held the wine glass and glanced at Shen Wei who was nearby again. Shen Wei had finished drinking the detoxifying soup and was holding a candied date in her mouth to soothe the bitterness, her dark eyes looking around.
Through the beaded curtain, Li Yuanjing and Shen Wei's eyes accidentally met.
Li Yuanjing raised his eyebrows slightly and indicated with his eyes: I only made her a concubine, are you happy?
Shen Wei touched her nose guiltily, pretending not to know what Li Yuanjing was hinting at. She lowered her head uncomfortably, but the corners of her pink lips secretly raised.
Li Yuanjing looked at Chen Wei's guilty look, like a little white cat caught doing something bad, very cute.
Li Yuanjing was so smart that he could certainly see through Shen Wei's intention - she deliberately drank the detoxifying soup in front of him to remind him not to forget the past. Her acting was really poor.
But Li Yuanjing was secretly happy in his heart. A beautiful newcomer appeared, and his Weiwei was actually jealous.
Being jealous means that he is in your heart.
Li Yuanjing really likes the jealous and petty look of Chen Wei, which is very interesting and attractive.
Shen Wei continued to drink tea with a "guilty conscience", and mentally gave herself full marks for her acting skills - playing the role of a concubine who was "jealous and scheming, and was discovered by the emperor" was very difficult, but very effective.
As time passed, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was coming to an end. When a minister came to report on the progress of the flood in the south, Li Yuanjing left the table early and went to Chang'an Palace to listen to the report.
After the emperor left, the banquet was about to end.
Lu Xuan, who had been keeping a low profile at the banquet, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The news of her pregnancy could not be announced at the Queen Mother’s birthday party. An ambitious newcomer, Tan Tai Yin Xue, has come to the palace, and the Concubine Chen is eyeing her covetously, so she must be cautious.
At this time, Concubine Zhang Miaoyu suddenly touched her belly and complained that her stomach hurt.
"Empress Dowager! I have a stomachache and can hardly move...Please ask the imperial physician to take my pulse." Zhang Miaoyu pleaded weakly.
During royal banquets, imperial physicians would be on duty at the entrance of the palace where the banquet was held. If any noble person suddenly falls ill, the imperial physician can go directly into the palace to provide emergency treatment.
The Queen Mother nodded, and the old nanny went outside the palace to get an imperial physician to come in.
It was Doctor Mo Xunmo.
Mo Xun, wearing the green robe of an imperial physician and a jade-head hat, did not approach Zhang Miaoyu. Instead, he stood three feet away and quickly looked at Zhang Miaoyu's face and fingers.
After looking at it for a few times, Mo Xun bowed and said, "Please ask the girl beside the queen to move her hands and press the edge of the index finger of Yu Fei's left hand, from the fingertips to the base of the thumb, and press ten times in a circle."
Zhang Miaoyu's personal maid did as she was told.
In less than half a cup of tea, the pain in Zhang Miaoyu's lower abdomen disappeared. Zhang Miaoyu was surprised: "You are such a great doctor! You didn't even feel my pulse, but only observed my expression and you were able to cure my illness!"
Not only Zhang Miaoyu was surprised, but the other women present also looked at her curiously.
Mo Xun cleared his throat and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother who was sitting in the main seat: "My Lord, my Lord, I have been studying medicine since I was one year old and my medical skills are superb. I can diagnose minor illnesses by looking at the face and major illnesses by taking the pulse without taking the pulse."
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes full of meaning.
Shen Wei looked surprised, as if she had never seen such a magical thing before, and asked excitedly: "Really?"
