Chapter 93 He is looking for a concubine
Sure enough, after reading the imperial edict, the inner palace envoy in official robes explained his purpose.
Some time ago, pulmonary blood disease broke out in the capital.
The prescription sent by Old Song to Beijing was immediately ordered by the national teacher to be used by the common people because the herbs needed were the cheapest.
It saved many lives of poor people.
Old Song favored Nuobao, so he naturally wrote down everything that little Nuobao did in the letter, which attracted the attention of the national teacher.
"The national teacher learned that this prescription came from Daliu Village, and Nuobao of the Jiang family contributed the most. His Majesty was very pleased and asked this envoy to issue an imperial edict to reward you." The inner palace envoy was surprised and surprised to see that Nuobao was actually a two-year-old baby, but he also patiently explained to her.
Hearing this, Feng and others hurriedly bowed to thank him.
Little Nuobao was very happy and imitated the adults, bending her body to bow: "Thank you for the gift from the Imperial Master, and thank you, the envoy."
But her waist was too soft, and as soon as she bent down, she lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.
The envoy from the inner palace was startled and rushed forward to hug her.
"Be careful, child!"
Little Nuobao breathed a sigh of relief and pinched her waist complainingly: "Thank you, sir, Nuobao can stand, but there is too much flesh on my waist, so it's a bit slippery~"
The adults laughed when they heard it.
The envoy from the inner palace also laughed, looking at the baby in front of him, he suddenly felt love in his heart.
This little baby is so small, but his body is chubby.
But it was not the kind of fat that was too fat, just a little bit of milk fat, which looked white and soft, and made people feel comfortable.
He couldn't help laughing and said, "You are still a child, you should grow some meat, so that you can be healthy in the future."
When Xiao Nuobao heard this, she immediately put her hands on her waist happily.
If the grandfathers in Fushan Hall say that she is fat again in the future, she will say the same thing!
Soon, the messenger from the inner palace handed the reward to Xiao Nuobao solemnly.
Old Song handled the matter properly and recorded the hard work of Doctor Wu in testing the prescription and the unity of the people of Daliu Village in the letter.
So in addition to Nuobao's jade bracelet and chicken-shaped cup, Doctor Wu also got a jade pot as a reward.
The Imperial Master also rewarded the Daliu Village with birthday cakes for the Emperor. Each family could get five pounds of them, which was intended to help them to relieve hunger.
The Jiang family happily accepted the reward.
The villagers never thought that one day they would be able to benefit from the imperial palace and eat, so they were all very happy.
At the moment, only Tian Zhixian was extremely confused.
Wait, the Imperial Master personally issued an order to reward a country girl?
His ears are not broken, right?
In the Nanji Kingdom, the Imperial Master is more powerful than the Emperor, but he can actually have something to do with a village kid?
Little Nuobao glanced at Tian Zhixian from the corner of his eye, and then he jumped up to the envoy from the inner palace.
"Mr. Envoy, you have worked hard on the way. Please have a bowl of coarse tea in our house before you go." She smiled with her head tilted.
The inner palace envoy saw that Nuobao wanted to hold himself up and scare off the county magistrate.
So he glanced at Tian Zhixian and smiled at Nuobao: "Okay, then I will respectfully obey your order. Who told you that even the imperial teacher has to personally reward you!"
He deliberately emphasized the second half of the sentence, and Tian Zhixian's legs trembled when he heard it.
The imperial teacher's reward...
This is pointing at him.
At this time, little Nuobao looked at Tian Zhixian with a smile: "Oh, I almost forgot, you haven't left yet, sir, the county magistrate~"
Tian Zhixian: "..."
Little Nuobao held the reward and blinked: "Are you still waiting for our village to donate food to you? Alas, we can't afford it, so why not give you the reward from the imperial teacher and use it as a compensation."
Hearing this, the inner palace envoy frowned and stared at the county magistrate.
Tian Zhixian immediately dug his toes into the ground and shook his head wildly: "No, no, no, the gift from the national teacher is comparable to the gift from the emperor. How dare I accept it? You...you should keep it for yourself."
"What...donating food is a voluntary thing. Since you can't give it, how can I force you...I'm leaving, leaving!"
After saying that, Tian Zhixian greased his feet and quickly got on the carriage to drive away.
He was afraid that if he was a step late, he would be questioned by the messenger from the inner palace.
Seeing this, everyone felt relieved.
There were times when this black-hearted Zhixian was afraid.
After everyone had divided the birthday cakes, they happily took them home. The messenger from the inner palace also followed Xiao Nuobao to the Jiang family to rest for a while.
Mrs. Feng made a cup of white tea, which was brought over by little Nuobao herself.
After Nuobao said a few nice words with a sweet smile, the envoy couldn't help but raise his lips and stared at little Nuobao and smiled.
This little baby is really smart.
She is also clever.
Just looking at her makes people feel as if there is honey in their hearts. Although
they are both two-year-old babies, she is much smarter and more clever than the daughter that the national teacher took back a few days ago.
The envoy from the inner palace wanted to get closer to Nuobao, but he had no choice but to take a heavy responsibility and could not sit for long before he had to set off to go back.
When seeing the envoy out, seeing that he was easy-going, Mrs. Feng pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.
"Excuse me, sir, since it is an imperial decree, why was it issued by the national teacher instead of the current emperor?" Mrs. Feng couldn't help but be curious.
The inner palace envoy smiled and said, "Madam, you don't know. Now that your majesty is weak, everything is under the control of the imperial master."
He said it in a tactful way.
In fact, after the imperial master returned, he had stripped the emperor of his power. Now the emperor is just a puppet, and the imperial master is the real master.
Even the inner palace is occupied by the imperial master. The 60-year-old emperor has long been relocated to the outer palace, and he is so angry that he coughs up blood all day long.
After Feng understood, she did not forget to say a few polite words: "Mr. Envoy, you are working for the Imperial Master and you have come to our village. It must be hard. Why don't you stay at my house for two days and have a good rest before going back."
The inner palace envoy liked little Nuobao very much and felt it was a pity: "I would like to stay for a day or two, but now it is almost your Majesty's birthday, and the Imperial Master has found his daughter and wants to hold a grand ancestor recognition banquet for the little princess. The palace is really busy, so I dare not stay."
"The imperial master is looking for his concubine?" Feng was a little surprised: "What's going on? Did the imperial master lose his concubine before?"
The messenger from the inner palace dared to say a few more words after leaving the palace: "Two years ago, the imperial master was framed by a villain and had to leave his pregnant wife and hide from his enemies all the way."
"Half a year ago, when the imperial master came back, he learned that his wife had passed away. After many twists and turns, he found his only relative, a two-year-old daughter, in the Shen Mansion, his wife's family's home."
Feng couldn't help feeling distressed when she listened.
"It's not easy for the Imperial Master."
The inner palace envoy nodded and sighed: "So the Imperial Master is now focusing on the little princess who has just been found. He loves her as much as his eyeballs and wants to buy all the good things in the world for that child."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at the little Nuobao who was wearing a plain dress and playing in the mud in the yard.
Speaking of which, the newly found daughter of the Imperial Master is about the same age as Nuobao, both about two years old...
but their appearance and character are worlds apart.
The girl was born fat and ugly. She didn't look like a princess even when she was wearing brocade. She was also very arrogant and willful. She would pull the maids' hair and make them bleed.
Every time he entered the palace to serve, he would look at the child for a little longer and think that she had suffered a work-related injury.
The envoy from the inner palace could not help but sigh. If only Nuobao was the daughter of the imperial master, how great it would be. She would be willing to serve such a young master even if he paid her salary.
After seeing the envoy off, the Jiang family also relaxed. They rubbed their hands happily.
Then they ran into the house with little Nuobao in their arms to eat birthday cakes and see the rewards!
