female concubine

East Palace a few days ago

After Xiao Xianfu left the East Palace, Crown Prince Wei Shu wiped off the Han Han on his face, got up and stared angrily, and kicked over the tables and chairs in the palace.

Pointing towards the place west of the East Palace: "This Palace is his eldest son. My mother is a queen who is admired by thousands of people. He said it himself. No one can shake my position. He is the emperor. How can he not?" You can go back on what you say!"

"Your Highness, don't be so angry."

The crown prince looked back at Chen Liangdi with angry red eyes, "If the one you gave birth to was not the eldest son, the king of Chu and the king of Zhao have already married wives, the grandson of the emperor...then the position of the east palace of this palace is just..." the prince Not daring to continue, holding his frightened face in his hands, "What should I do, Bengong..."

The prince straightened up and ran to the outside of the hall, and shouted at the female Shi who was standing outside the hall, "Where is Prince Zhan Shiren, why don't you come see me?"

"Return to Your Highness, Lin Zhan has gone to the Chongwen Museum, not the East Palace."

"When he comes back, I must withdraw him!"

"Your Highness wants to find Liang Zhuangyuan, right?" The Crown Princess approached from the long corridor, and handed over the residence report in her hand to the female historian, "Zhuangyuan Lang has been appointed as the Imperial Academy by His Majesty, and he is serving under Zhizhigao. He should be in the palace right now, even if His Highness asked Zhan Shi to look for him, Liang Hanlin would not be able to come to the East Palace at this time."

The crown prince grabbed the mansion newspaper in the hand of the female historian, looked at it, and his eyes widened, because besides the appointment of an official, there was another royal event that annoyed him even more, "Your Majesty bestowed a marriage on Yuanling?"

"Yes, on the second day after the list was unveiled, the imperial decree came down to Prince Cheng's Mansion."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The Crown Princess just glanced at Chen Liangdi in the hall, but did not answer.

The prince immediately twisted the mansion into a ball, "Prince Cheng is your uncle, look at Princess Chu's uncle, Zhao Wang's uncle, which one is not helping his family, but you," the prince pointed at the princess, "Why did I agree to marry you? What's the use of you in this East Palace?"

She seemed to be accustomed to such words, so she turned around and walked forward, and said lightly: "Cousin is better than the same clan? King Cheng is also surnamed Wei!"

"If!" The prince tried to call her back.

"I mean, if the King of Chu wins in the end, you say, he will let the concubine, who is his sister-in-law, go, you?"

He looked at the back of the Crown Princess, and then said coldly and mockingly: "However, women will never be an obstacle to the throne. Your Majesty is the same, and so is this palace. I believe that the king of Chu is also the same!"

The princess still ignored him and walked forward on her own, Wei Shu clenched his fists and slammed the pillar heavily.

"I can't sit still and wait for death!" Just as Wei Shu half-closed his deep eyes, a waiter from the East Palace Pharmacy Bureau appeared in his sight with a bowl of soup.

"Your Highness, the Medical Officer's Academy sent some tonics to the Medicine Collection Bureau, and Doctor Yang asked the Medicine Collection Bureau's attendant to drink it."

"Doctor Yang!" He suddenly thought of something, turned and ran inside, saw Chen Liangdi sitting in front of the couch with his back facing, "Is Aifei not feeling well?"

"My concubine is very good, Your Highness..." Liang Di turned her head, her eyes were red, "What Your Highness said to His Highness the Crown Princess just now, is it all true?" She heard the conversation outside the palace just now, and suppressed the pain in her heart. asked sourly.

The prince moved closer, waved his hands to comfort her: "I was just angry at her words, my concubine is not feeling well now, I asked them to call Doctor Yang to diagnose your pulse."

"Your Highness," Chen Liangdi grabbed Wei Shu's sleeve, "I'm really fine."

The prince frowned, as if he didn't hear it, and immediately helped her to lie down, "Good boy, lie down first, and wait for Doctor Yang to come over!"

After finishing speaking, he left the hall and summoned two officials from Zhan Shifu.

----------

When the Hanlin medical envoy heard the news, he and his subordinates hurried to the East Palace, leaving aside their original work.

Yang Shu stepped into the room in a hurry, and as soon as he entered, he asked the left and right: "The Yaozang Bureau reports every day, the old man has checked the pulse report, and there is no serious problem, but what did Liang Di eat or heard that she moved her baby?" gas?"

Yang Shu asked, but the palace servants at the side didn't agree. Finally, Wei Shu walked out from behind the screen and sent everyone away.

Yang Shu stopped and said in a daze, "Your Highness?"

"If there's anything wrong, Imperial Physician Yang will know when he feels the pulse."

"Your Highness, don't fool the old minister. It is about the emperor's eldest grandson, the blood of the Tian family. I dare not be negligent for a moment."

"Di Liang is fine, it's my palace's business."

Yang Shu then took the medical box from the attendant doctor, "You go out first, and wait outside the hall."

"Yes."

Yang Shu approached, "Your Highness, please give me your hand."

Wei Shu did as he did, and then said to Yang Shu: "Physician Yang, in fact, my illness has been cured a long time ago."

"Then His Highness?"

"My illness is here!" Wei Shu withdrew his pulse-diagnosing hand and pointed to his chest.

"Physician Yang is an old minister of the palace, and there are many things that I should know without my own words."

"Your Highness borrowed Emperor Liang's womb to come here, it seems that there is something else going on." Yang Shu withdrew his hand, got up and stepped aside.

The prince put his hands behind his back and turned his back to the imperial physician, "Yang Shu, I have lost power now, but as long as His Majesty does not issue an edict to depose me, I will still be the Prince of the Eastern Palace. Heir, even if His Majesty wants to depose, it will not be able to convince the public with an edict, I hope you understand."

It has been a rule since ancient times to establish a heir and establish a head. If you want to abolish it, unless the prince commits a heinous crime, then you have to go through the discussion of the important ministers. Yang Shu naturally understands, "I understand."

"I want to ask you, who invited the pulse of Prince Zhao's mansion?"

"The minister has been in charge of diagnosing the pulse of King Zhao since he was a child. After King Zhao left the cabinet, the minister is still in charge of King Zhao's mansion."

"Where's Chu Palace?"

"The minister's subordinate, Deputy Envoy Sun."

The prince approached and leaned into Yang Shu's ear, "I want you..."

Yang Shu stared in shock, "Your Highness, this...is related to the blood of the Tian family. How dare you conceal such a major event..." Yang Shu frowned deeply. It was the prince. The king of Chu took his only son hostage, and the prince forced him with the throne.

"If Imperial Physician Yang is acquainted, I will use you as a medical officer to lead the Hanlin Medical Official Hospital after I ascend the throne, and I will write a book and biography for you, so that you can enjoy the Taimiao and be worshiped by the world!"

"Your Highness, this..."

The crown prince put his hand on Yang Shu's shoulder, "I just want to know immediately, I didn't let you hide it, you just need to tell this palace and then report to His Majesty, it's just a sequence, a quarter of an hour, It won't get in the way of anything!"

Yang Shu lowered his head, it was just a sequence, but what could happen in that quarter of an hour is unknown.

Wei Shu knew that Yang Shu was a tactful person, so he dared to talk to him so boldly. Seeing that Imperial Physician Yang was afraid and hesitant, he said sharply again: "Although the Medical Officer's Academy belongs to the Imperial Academy, but now Zhongshu wants to intervene. It's not too difficult."

Yang Shu raised his head in surprise, and immediately folded his sleeves and bowed his waist, "I obey the order."

Seeing someone answering, the prince smiled and said: "That's right, I will not treat Imperial Physician Yang badly, I know that Imperial Physician Yang has no children, and his wife has not continued since his wife passed away, so I chose two beautiful women. Excellent young lady, delivered tonight."

"Dian..." Yang Shu has been an official for decades, and he also understands the darkness of the officialdom, so he bowed again, "Minister, thank you Your Highness."

------------

The appointment of Zhuangyuan Lang was hand-picked by the emperor on the day after the announcement of the list, while the other Jinshi waited until after the Qionglin Banquet.

Throughout the day, the officials who were interviewed withdrew one by one, and the servant also walked out, "Han Sheren, Your Majesty invites you to come in."

The green-robed official wore a straight-footed handkerchief on his head, and slowly stepped in front of his abdomen with his sleeves in his hands. Immediately, he walked to the table of the emperor and bowed his head to thank him.

Not long after the emperor sat down, he stared at the second place in the new department. It was originally decided by the trial court that Han Bang was also going to be the supervisor of the general judge. Is it?"

"I am stupid, I dare not speculate on the holy will, the power of heaven is unpredictable, I have only learned to obey the emperor's order and perform my duties."

The emperor lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "After the papers transcribed by the Yulu Academy, I read the original papers again, and I fell in love with Qing's beautiful and intelligent writing." The emperor stared at the person who had never raised his head, "Pale but not Vulgar, without ambition, and unwilling to be buried."

"Because I think it's great to be an ordinary official and be able to eat enough."

The emperor then laughed, "All the scholars in the world want to be admitted to the imperial examination, and they want to shine in their families. There are so many who fail to win the Jinshi in their entire lives, but Qing, who is second in the list, is just taking the exam to fill his stomach?"

"Yes and no."

"Oh?"

"I didn't expect to be named on the gold list in advance, because I almost failed in the provincial examination, so I was disliked by my benefactor for a long time." Han Si straightened up and said very plainly, "Now I am honored to be seen by your majesty. In Chinese, the ruler treats his ministers like brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard the ruler as his heart. Minister, the way I have learned since I was a child."

The emperor raised his head, looked at Han Bang unexpectedly, and then smiled slightly, "Thinking about your current benefactor, you should be surprised, right?"

"I'm not surprised, he only gave me five words."

The emperor looked suspiciously, "Oh?"

Han Si raised his sleeves and said calmly, "It's extremely cold at the heights."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Bang, "Your benefactor?"

Han Si bowed his head again, "It's the three kings, I dare not bully the king, your majesty is magnanimous, let me enter the court as a sinner, and let me marry a clan daughter as a humble person, my minister, be terrified!"

"My son, what benefits have I given you?"

Han Bang took off the official hat on his head, "I didn't give benefits, but opportunities."

"so you?"

"So I met Your Majesty and became His Majesty's subject. I told my benefactor that I only serve the king."

The emperor got up, walked around Han Bang and walked behind him, "I originally wanted to keep you by my side to observe for a while before I let you go to Zhao Wangfu to be the servant of King Zhao, but now it seems that it is too condescending for you to be a servant of the Wangfu , so you stay by my side from now on."

"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your attention."

Han Si knelt down and put his hat back on.

"It's been a long time since I've had any young people working as errands, Mr. Li, work hard." The emperor smiled and stepped forward to leave the palace.

"Yes."

When he came to the entrance of the palace, the emperor put his hand on the gold belt and stopped, squinting his head and said: "By the way, you should know that the wife you are about to marry, her grandfather is the envoy of the Privy Council!"
