On the third day after the Dragon Boat Festival, Concubine Wan Shu in the palace received a letter from the second old lady.
After reading it, she fell into deep thought in her palace.
She is already 35 years old, but she has been well maintained and still has fair skin and beautiful looks, which is very attractive to men.
The emperor is already forty-three years old and has not chosen a concubine for a long time. The queen is the youngest among them, but she is also thirty years old.
She could occasionally be invited to sleep with the emperor in the harem, so she was always favored.
Her mother asked her to persuade the emperor to send the imperial physician to continue treating her nephew, but how could the emperor care about this?
This is the palace's family affair.
She entered the palace at the age of ten, and of course she was not a concubine at first. She relied on some means to be promoted to this position.
It was not easy for her to conceive a dragon seed, and it was a son, so she was named Shufei by the emperor.
There are two princes before him. The eldest prince is born to the late queen, and the second prince is born to Concubine Yun.
The eldest prince has been deposed, and now her son and the second prince are adult princes. The fourth prince is fifteen years old and is the son of Concubine Luo Xian.
The status of the mothers of the three princes are comparable.
It depends on the strength of their respective families.
Although she came from the iron-hat Rong Prince Mansion, the ancestral precepts of the Rong Prince Mansion were not to participate in the disputes among princes. However, if the emperor was incompetent, she could appoint a crown prince on behalf of the emperor.
The Rong Palace is loyal first to the Wei clan, and then to the emperor.
That’s why there is a saying that the Rong Prince’s Mansion is the Rong Prince’s Mansion of all the people with the surname Zhou in the world.
Every generation of emperors has always been courteous to Prince Rong.
All important national affairs must be discussed with Prince Rong and decided together.
However, the Rong Palace never held military power, leaving each generation of emperor unguarded against it, and the relationship between them was even that of monarch, subject, and friend.
Concubine Wan Shu really wanted to get the support of her elder brother. She had talked to the prince several times, but the prince always asked her to do her part and did not care what the emperor wanted to do.
She was so angry that she could only work hard on her own.
She wanted her son to be named the crown prince, so that she would be the most honorable woman in the Wei Dynasty.
This is what every concubine who gave birth to a son thinks about.
She is certainly no exception.
She had the support of the most powerful royal palace, but she didn't get any advantage at all.
She hates.
So I can only rely on the second wife to help with many things.
Of course she would try her best to fulfill her mother's request, and she knew her mother's plan, so she not only had to help, but also had to help to the end.
She quickly figured out a solution.
"Baozhu, go and invite the third prince over, and tell him that Concubine Xiao wants to discuss something with him." Concubine Wan Shu immediately instructed the palace maid beside her.
The third prince came to Concubine Shu's palace after class.
Then the mother and son came up with a solution.
The next day, the third prince asked the emperor for leave and left the palace.
He said he had heard of a miraculous doctor, but he had a strange temper, and he wanted to invite him to see his eldest cousin. If he invited him as a prince, it would show his sincerity.
When the emperor learned that he was doing something unethical, he of course approved it.
The third prince rode out of the city on a fast horse, and indeed, he invited a miracle doctor to the palace today.
But at this time, there were only the second old lady, Concubine Luo and Yu Chaoyang in the palace.
The prince took the prince to the military camp for training.
The princess went out to visit friends.
Yu Yuanzheng went to the courtyard to purify alcohol.
As soon as the doorman reported that the Third Prince had arrived, the Second Old Lady smiled so brightly that the smile on her face deepened a little.
Come out to greet him personally.
"Greetings, Madam."
"Oh, Third Prince, my dear grandson, please come in, please come in."
The three women welcomed the third prince into the second old lady's courtyard.
"Second Madam, this is the miracle doctor that the youngest prince invited from the capital, Doctor Yao." After a cordial conversation, the third prince Cao Jinshen introduced the old doctor to the second madam.
"Tutututut, the doctor invited by the Third Prince must be very skilled. I hope your cousin can wake up soon, so that his aunt and the Third Prince will not be in vain for caring so much about him."
When the second old lady saw that the old doctor seemed very sophisticated, she could guess that his medical skills must be quite good.
"Thank you for your hard work, Third Prince. Second Madam, let's go to Qiyayuan now. We can't keep the old doctor waiting for too long." Concubine Luo said with a smile.
Yu Chaoyang was confused.
Shufei is the biological daughter of the Second Old Lady, so she should stand on the side of the Second Old Lady.
Before, she clearly felt that the Second Old Lady hoped that the position of Crown Prince would fall on her husband, but now she took the initiative to punish the eldest son.
She really couldn't figure it out.
But she had no say and could only follow behind to Qiyayuan.
She went there the day after her wedding, and hasn't been there again in the past month.
In her previous life, she lived in that yard for eight whole years. It was her prison.
The second old lady brought the third prince and Doctor Yao to the Qiyayuan.
Today, the ones serving Dajizi are the distant mountains and nearby waters.
When they saw the second old lady bringing the third prince, they thought that the third prince came to the palace just to see the eldest son out of courtesy.
He went forward to greet him politely.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the Second Madam, the Crown Prince's Consort, and Concubine Luo." The two servants even knelt down and kowtowed.
After all, the third prince is a member of the royal family, so this is a must.
"The third prince asked about a miraculous doctor and went far away to invite him. Please go to the inner room and let the doctor check Ziqi." The second old lady was in a good mood.
When the two servants heard this, they were startled.
They know the situation of Dajizi best.
"Third Prince, let's wait until the prince comes back to deal with this matter. We two servants dare not make the decision." Yuanshan bowed and said respectfully.
"It's already late for the prince to come back, and it's almost dark. The doctor has come a long way and will have to go to another house soon. Don't waste time." The second old lady poked with her crutch and started speaking sternly.
"Second Madam, let's wait for the princess to come back. The princess only needs to go to Prince Jing's Mansion, which is very close. I will send someone to invite the princess back right away." Yuanshan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Then, without waiting for the second old lady to say anything, he ran out of Qiyayuan.
Find Qingfeng and Mingyue, and ask them to quickly notify the eldest young lady and the princess to come back, and they must do it quickly.
The two servants immediately rode out of the palace.
He didn't care whether there were pedestrians along the way.
However, both of them were good riders and ran in two different directions.
Prince Jing’s Mansion is the closest.
When the princess heard Mingyue's report, she frowned, but quickly apologized to Princess Jing and followed Mingyue back to the palace.
Qingfeng ran to the courtyard for some time.
At this time, Yu Yuanzheng was explaining to Liu Mingde and Chunlei the distillation of wine and how to use this small distiller.
Build a fire and start burning. When the temperature gets higher and higher and you see steam coming out, adjust the fire to low.
When the steam passed through a thin tube and then passed through a bucket filled with cold water, it came out as no longer steam, but drops of liquid. Yu Yuanzheng collected about a mouthful of it.
"Brother Liu, would you like to try it?" Yu Yuanzheng handed the cup to Liu Mingde.
Liu Mingde took it and drank it all in one gulp, then choked and coughed repeatedly.
"What a strong drink! I have never drunk anything so strong."
At this moment, Qingfeng rode his horse to the door and pulled the reins.
"Madam, come back home quickly." Qingfeng jumped off his horse and rushed into the yard, shouting anxiously.
"What happened?"
"The Third Prince has brought a doctor with him to treat the eldest son."
"What?" Yu Yuanzheng knew there was a problem as soon as she heard it.
"Chun Lei, you guys should distill all the wine according to this method. If the water that comes out has no taste, you can pour it out and start another pot." Yu Yuanzheng gave hurried instructions and quickly went to the door.
As he walked, he said, "Qingfeng, ride with me, quickly."
Yu Yuanzheng took out a handkerchief from her bosom and covered her face with it, so that no one could recognize her.
If she is escorted by a guard, it will damage her reputation if she is recognized.
But in Qiyayuan, the situation was tense at this time.
