What she said was to tell the Minister of Works who was mocking her, "So what if I'm rich? So what if I'm vulgar? I just don't regard money as dirt. What can you do to me?"
By the way, let's mock the Minister of Works.
The Minister of Works was so angry that his face turned green.
This is the Queen's birthday, and he dared not teach Hua Fushu a lesson for being so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, otherwise it would be inappropriate.
After hearing Hua Fushu's sarcastic words, Ye Zelin felt like laughing for some unknown reason.
Although Hua Fushu's words were very offensive to the Minister of Works, the officials and their families present did not blame or complain about Hua Fushu.
They all knew that Hua Fushu was not deliberately causing trouble, and both the Minister of Works and Hua Fushu were joking and chatting about family matters.
You're making fun of me in a joking way, so I can't reply to you in a joking way?
Hua Fushu stood up and faced the emperor and empress who were sitting in the front row. She spoke calmly, saying that the empress was the mother of the country and the mother of all the people in the world, and she was worthy of respect. She wanted to take advantage of the empress's birthday to contribute a little to help famine-stricken areas such as Songzhou.
After hearing Hua Fushu's heartfelt words, the emperor and empress felt very relieved and smiled.
Zhao Zixu looked in Ye Zelin's direction and said, "Although Madam Hua is a woman, she has such a broad mind. She can be said to be a role model for women. Ye Qing, you are blessed."
Ye Zelin stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am truly fortunate to have a wife like you."
The two sat back in their seats.
The Minister of Works' face turned even more pale and looked particularly ugly. In his opinion, the words of the emperor just now were a blow and ridicule to him, saying that he was stingy, had no broad mind, and was not as good as a little woman.
Hua Fushu originally wanted to keep a low profile and not attract attention, but after this incident, he attracted a lot of attention.
In fact, even if she did not fight back against the Minister of Works and did not contribute to the disaster-stricken areas of Songzhou, her previous donations to the flood relief in the south of the Yangtze River were enough to make some people pay too much attention to her.
The Qianqiu Banquet was over, and officials and their families left the palace and returned home one after another.
Fortunately, Hua Fushu and Ye Zelin ran fast, otherwise some officials' wives would have come up and tried to make friends with Hua Fushu.
Two days later, Lu Tianyun came to the General's Mansion to look for Hua Fushu. She chatted with Hua Fushu for a few words and then told him the purpose of her visit.
"Fushu, I have something to tell you. My elder sister wants to see you. I came to ask if you are willing to go to the palace to see her."
Her eldest sister? Isn't she the Empress?
Hua Fushu was puzzled. She had only seen the Empress twice. One was at the Qianqiu Banquet a few days ago, and the other was when she received the imperial edict and accompanied her mother-in-law, Madam Ouyang, to the palace to thank the Empress.
"Why does the Queen want to see me?" When she paid her respects before, apart from thanking the Queen and responding, she had never said a word to the Queen.
The Empress has lived in the deep palace for a long time. Why would she want to meet her, an official's wife of humble origin and unknown fame?
Lu Tianyun whispered a few words into Hua Fushu's ear.
Hua Fushu frowned.
"Are you willing?" If Hua Fushu was unwilling, she would not force him.
Hua Fushu thought, "I'll go."
Lu Tianyun held her hand and said, "Thank you for supporting me. My elder sister was worried that you would not want to."
Hua Fushu smiled awkwardly.
The next day, Lu Tianyun came to pick up Hua Fushu, and the two of them rode in the Qin Wang Mansion's carriage slowly towards the palace.
When the two arrived at the palace gate, the head female official of the Queen's palace was waiting with several young palace maids.
"Princess Qin, you are here. The Queen has sent this servant to pick you up, along with Madam Hua."
The female official in charge received them and took them to Kunning Palace where the queen was.
Soon, they arrived outside Kunning Palace.
"Order Han." A middle-aged eunuch in a dark blue silk shirt took two steps forward.
"Mr. Luo." The female official in charge returned the greeting.
Eunuch Luo looked at Hua Fushu, who was wearing a pine-colored dress, and said, "I guess this must be Madam Hua."
The flowers are lush and auspicious.
"Your Majesty heard that the Empress summoned Madam, and asked me to get the Empress's medical records from the Imperial Hospital and show them to Madam." Eunuch Luo signaled a younger eunuch to give the Empress's medical records to Hua Fushu.
Hua Fushu took the pulse record, and Eunuch Luo said calmly, "Imperial Physician Liu said that Madam is quite knowledgeable about women's internal diseases. I have given you the record. Madam, please read it before taking the Empress' pulse."
She looked at Eunuch Luo, but was puzzled. Eunuch Luo was the chief eunuch beside the emperor. He usually served the emperor and should rarely leave his side.
She just came to the palace to take the Queen's pulse. The Queen's medical records could have been sent by the Imperial Hospital or someone else. Why did it have to be delivered by Eunuch Luo himself? Moreover, Eunuch Luo obviously came to Kunning Palace before her and Tianyun, and was clearly waiting for them to come.
To be exact, he was waiting for her.
There seemed to be a hint of warning in Eunuch Luo's words. Was he warning her?
She could only pretend to smile knowingly, "Of course."
Eunuch Luo took the young eunuch out of Kunning Palace.
The female official in charge invited Lu Tianyun and Hua Fushu into the side hall of Kunning Palace. Hua Fushu took advantage of the Queen's absence to check the Queen's medical records.
A moment later, the empress, dressed in a blue dress, came to the side hall with several palace maids.
Hua Fushu followed Lu Tianyun to pay homage and pay respects.
The Queen asked them both to stand up and sat them down on the soft couch. She spoke softly to Hua Fushu, "Madam Hua, I think Yun'er has already explained the reason why I summoned you to the palace, so I won't say more. I'd like you to take a look at me. My condition is really difficult to treat."
"Yes." Hua Fushu bowed in response.
The palace maid placed the pulse pillow on the small table, and the queen placed her hand on the pulse pillow.
She walked slowly to the front of the queen, half squatted down, and prepared to take the queen's pulse.
Hua Fushu felt the queen's pulse and found that there was nothing wrong with her pulse.
It was not at all what the medical records said about the damage to the uterus and difficulty in fertility. On the contrary, the Empress was in good health and she could become pregnant and have children.
She frowned. Why would the Imperial Hospital falsify the Empress's medical records? Wasn't this deceiving the Empress?
After taking Hua Fushu's pulse, the Queen asked cautiously, looking intently at him, as if hoping to hear a different response from someone else, "Madam Hua, is there no hope for my health?"
Hua Fushu wanted to speak, but stopped herself. As a doctor, she should tell the Empress the truth, but when she thought of what Luo Nei Shi said, she couldn't tell the truth.
The falsification of the Queen's medical records must have been instructed by her superiors.
If the Empress was told that there was nothing wrong with her body, it might cause a lot of trouble. This was probably the reason why Eunuch Luo came to warn her.
In the end, she could only shake her head helplessly, "Your Majesty, my medical skills are limited and I cannot help you with your worries."
The queen sighed slightly but said nothing.
Hua Fushu didn't stay in the palace for long before she left with Lu Tianyun.
