Chapter 281 Her Gentleness Carries a Knife
"Women from other clans must wear court dress of their rank when entering the palace. They cannot exceed that. They are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned."
"Inner court ladies have ranks and non-ranks, corresponding to different food and salaries. They are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, but some have special permission from His Majesty or the Queen Mother, so you need to remember them clearly."
“…”
Gu Qingning finished the thirty-eight points slowly and calmly, drinking tea twice during the process.
She looked at Madam Jiang gently, "Madam, is there anything wrong?"
Madam Jiang was a little surprised, "I didn't expect the princess to have such a good memory."
Gu Qingning: "Well, I have always had a good memory. Sometimes I remember bad things better than good things."
"Otherwise, how could I, who was only a few years old, remember the Lin family tragedy for so many years?"
I don’t know why, but the woman in front of me has bright eyes, white teeth, beautiful eyebrows, and an extremely gentle voice.
Nanny Jiang always had an inexplicable feeling that the master in front of her was probably no worse than those masters in the palace.
But how is that possible?
She is just an orphan.
Although she grew up in the Marquis' Mansion, the people there did not do their best to educate her.
However, Nanny Jiang had seen a lot of big scenes before, so she was calm and composed, "Princess, I will teach you the thirty-ninth palace rule, shall I?"
Gu Qingning smiled, "Okay, Madam, please continue."
After a day of teaching, Nanny Jiang and Nanny Xu returned to their residence and were both a little silent.
Madam Xu spoke first, "Are we all a little bit underestimating this princess?"
"There's a knife in her gentleness."
"It's hard to imagine how the Imperial Physician Lin, who was so gentle and kind, could raise such a sharp granddaughter."
Speaking of the tragedy of Imperial Physician Lin's family, Nanny Jiang also sighed.
However, she still had to carry out the orders given by the Queen Mother.
"She did a good job in handling things and following the palace rules today."
"But this is just the beginning. It will last for three months. Let's keep a close eye on it."
Aunt Xu nodded, "Yes."
The Queen Mother said that His Highness Jingyu is very likely to become the future crown prince.
And the future crown prince’s wife will most likely be the future queen who will rule the country!
They remembered that they had been entrusted with an important task by the Queen Mother, so they had to work diligently and conscientiously to complete the task assigned by the Queen Mother.
The conflict during the day had little impact on the Qin Mansion.
But it is enough to subvert the entire Qin Mansion.
After being persuaded to come back, Feng cried and said:
"Why did you drag me back?"
"What will Hangzhi do if Dr. Bai doesn't treat him?"
If her son really became a disabled person, then she would have no hope in this life.
Duke Qin said coldly: "If you are not afraid of being stripped of your title, then go ahead and make trouble!"
Feng said awkwardly, "How could it be so serious as to strip him of his title?"
"We are just treating Hangzhi. We haven't done anything harmful to the world."
"In my opinion, Gu Qingning is just trying to scare people."
Duke Qin was exhausted. "How could it be a scare? You guys have embarrassed her today!"
"Besides, Divine Doctor Bai is unwilling, and even Your Majesty cannot force him, so we were a little too much today."
Feng cried, "How did we go too far? If you ask me, it was Doctor Bai who went too far!"
"What do you mean by cutting off the roots in order to save Hangzhi's life?"
"You can't even treat illnesses, so how can you call yourself a miracle doctor? I think you're just a charlatan!"
Duke Qin was so annoyed by Feng's crying, and he couldn't convince her, so he simply ignored her.
He turned his head and looked at his son, "Hangzhi, Daddy has no other choice. You make your own decision on what to do."
After saying this, he got up and left.
He completely ignored this matter!
After Duke Qin left, Mrs. Feng scolded him again and finally hugged her son with great sorrow.
"My son, why is life so hard?"
Lu Hangzhi was also completely dumbfounded. He was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said to Feng:
"Mom, please go out. I want to be alone for a while."
At this time, Feng was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
She was also exhausted when she saw her son like this.
After Feng returned to her room, she was depressed for a while, and then she said unhappily again:
"Hangzhi is in such a bad condition, why doesn't Yuaner come to see him?"
"Does she no longer have Hangzhi as her husband in her eyes?"
I had thought that since she was my mother’s family, they would be on the same page with me, but now it seems that girl has a lot more thoughts!
Biyun advised, "Madam, maybe the young lady is about to give birth and is in a heavy body, so it's inconvenient for her to move?"
Feng sneered, "Who hasn't given birth to a child? Only she is being pretentious!"
"Go, tell her everything about Hangzhi, including the fact that Doctor Bai even asked him to get rid of the root."
"Let her come over and spend more time with Hangzhi!"
Looking at her devastated son, Feng's heart was broken.
As long as my son can be strong again, let alone my pregnant daughter-in-law.
Even if his daughter-in-law had just given birth, he had to come over and comfort Hangzhi immediately!
Biyun had no choice but to go to Songtao Pavilion and tell Feng Yuaner everything.
Feng Yuaner was stunned after hearing this.
"Are you saying that cousin Hangzhi was poisoned and ended up like this?"
"Who poisoned me?"
Biyun shook her head, "I don't know."
Feng Yuaner asked, "Then how do we detoxify?"
Biyun said with a complicated expression: "I heard from them that we can only, we can only get rid of the roots..."
Feng Yuaner was stunned for a long time.
In other words, Lu Hangzhi will become a real eunuch in the future?
Who poisoned him? This is a good thing!
Feng Yuaner almost laughed out loud.
Because she never cared about Lu Hangzhi, all she cared about was the title of the Duke's Mansion.
Not to mention, she is about to give birth to a son!
Biyun looked at the young lady and seemed very happy, so she couldn't help but remind her:
"The Duke's wife said that the young master is in a very bad mood, and asked you to go over and comfort him."
How could Feng Yuaner possibly comfort Lu Hangzhi?
She said coldly: "Go tell mother that I am not feeling well and will not be coming."
Biyun had no choice but to go back and report to Feng.
But Feng was now very angry.
She was scolded by Gu Qingning, and scolded by the Duke, and she was helpless about her son's affairs...
Now Feng Yuaner rushed over headfirst.
Feng was so angry that she stood up and walked towards Songtao Pavilion.
"What's the matter? Gu Qingning is not my daughter-in-law anymore. I can't control her. Can I also control Feng Yuaner?"
The other party is both his daughter-in-law and his niece.
It's all right for me to take care of her!
Feng rushed to Songtao Pavilion and saw Feng Yuaner, who was pregnant, eating melon.
She rushed forward and overturned the melons, then raised her hand and slapped Feng Yuaner in the face.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. I asked Hangzhi to marry you to be my wife, not to be a pig who only knows how to eat and drink!"
This statement is really too much.
Feng Yuaner is the eldest daughter after all.
Besides, she has a bad temper.
After being beaten and scolded, Feng Yuaner angrily threw half a piece of melon in her hand directly on Feng's face.
Feng was hit directly and she could no longer calm down.
He rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.
The servants around were all shocked by the fight between the two of them.
After all, the relationship between the aunt and niece has always been very good, as close as mother and daughter. Why did they fight like this now?
So by the time they reacted and tried to stop the fight, it was too late...
**
Qin Mansion.
The incident that occurred when people from the Duke's Mansion came to cause trouble during the day had no impact on the entire Qin Mansion.
Gu Qingning spent half a day studying the palace rules and half a day handling the internal affairs of the mansion.
She even took some time out of her busy schedule to take her daughter, Xiao Xiyao, to visit the angry Doctor Bai.
Doctor Bai let Xiao Xiyao pull his beard. He had calmed down at this time, but he still couldn't help complaining.
"It's really hard for Jingyu to grow up in a Duke's mansion like that!"
He really has insight.
Gu Qingning quickly asked her daughter to let go of Doctor Bai's beard. She smiled and said:
"A good sword is forged through constant grinding. Even in such a bad environment, Jing Yu has become so outstanding now, which proves that he is better."
"And we will be more able to endure hardships and setbacks in the future."
Doctor Bai: "No one should be able to cause any setbacks to Jing Yu now, right?"
"The same to you."
"You two children have suffered so much. I hope that you will have a happy life in the future and will not suffer any more grievances and hardships."
Gu Qingning nodded, "We will work hard, and you, Mr. Bai, must stay healthy and live a long life."
Doctor Bai was silent for a moment, "Girl, I knew a sorcerer before, and he said I can live to be 108 years old."
Gu Qingning: "...Two hundred years old is still a hundred years old."
This compensation was not very nice, but Gu Qingning said it too confidently and seriously.
Doctor Bai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Just at this moment, Kawatani came to report that the prince had returned.
Before Gu Qingning could react, Doctor Bai stood up and walked out in a hurry.
Gu Qingning: "Mr. Bai, what are you going to do?"
Doctor Bai said without even turning his head: "I want to file a complaint!"
The emperor doesn't allow him to sue now.
But he went to complain to Jing Yu and put some pressure on him, asking Jing Yu to stay away from the elite family in the Duke's Mansion in the future.
This is always okay, right?
Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she had to hurry up and follow.
So, Lu Jingyu, who had just returned from duty and had just changed out of his casual clothes, had not yet seen his wife.
Then I saw an old man with a wronged look on his face running towards me.
Lu Jingyu: "... Mr. Bai, didn't you leave?"
Doctor Bai: "I did leave, but I was halfway there when I was bullied by the people from Duke Qin's Mansion and was forced back!"
"They actually wanted to kidnap me to treat their illness? If Qing Ning hadn't protected me, you wouldn't have been able to see me."
He embellished the story.
Finally, it is emphasized that:
"Not only did they embarrass me, they also made it difficult for Ning girl! They even slandered her reputation!"
"I wanted to go to the palace to file a complaint, but Ning girl stopped me, saying that this would make things difficult for you."
"Jing Yu, could it be that at this moment, you still remember the Duke's Mansion's kindness in raising you?"
