Queen's Physician

The hunting ground is in Ziyun Mountain in the western suburbs of the imperial city, not very far from the imperial city, but only a hundred miles away.However, because the emperor was traveling with a lot of power, the speed of travel was very slow, and he didn't even walk half of the distance from the morning departure to noon.At lunch time, the large troops stopped by the spacious official road, and the imperial chef set up a stove and a table by the roadside, and cooked meals for a group of two to three hundred people in full swing.

The sun was almost setting when we set off again, and the convoy speeded up, but the stars were already hanging in the sky when they arrived at Ziyun Mountain.Although the journey was not long, the pampered body had already complained endlessly when they arrived at the palace at the foot of Ziyun Mountain. After some dinner, the whole palace was very quiet even though the lights were brightly lit.

The emperor was a good hunter in his early years. However, as he grew older these years, he had more energy than energy, but his love for hunting never diminished.I can't fight by myself, watching others hunt is also a kind of fun.What's more, this activity is passed down from the ancestors, and spring hunting and autumn hunting are indispensable every year.

After the emperor had dinner, he took a few guards with him around the palace.In the early years, this palace not only hunted, but also served as a summer escape. However, in recent years, the number of official roads has been cultivated and it is spacious. The ice cubes sent from the north have doubled.Although this palace is good, the conditions are still far worse than that of the imperial palace, so gradually I will not come here for the summer vacation.The palaces brought back ice cubes, whether to cool down or make them into snacks, it was more than enough to prevent heatstroke and cool down.

"It's really desolate and deserted." When the emperor passed the garden, he saw many half-dead trees, with dead branches and leaves left unattended. He remembered how he was when he was hunting with his grandfather when he was a child. Yin, and now is really not what it used to be.

But the emperor can rest assured that a place that only comes twice a year is too good to spend a lot of money. Although the national treasury is rich now, it can't be done indiscriminately.

After a night without dreams, the Ziyun Mountain Palace became lively early in the morning.Although the imperial palace is large, but one is used to staying in one place and always feels suffocated. Naturally, the rules in this palace are more relaxed than when they were in the imperial palace.In the morning, the queen and several accompanying concubines set up a long table in the yard, and made dumplings by herself.

Those who cut vegetables, rolled skins, and made dumplings were very lively all morning. By the time the emperor arrived, the dumplings had already been packed, and they were waiting for the water on the pot to boil and the dumplings were ready.

"The courtiers and concubines have seen the emperor" Seeing the emperor coming, everyone put down their things.

The emperor waved his hand, "It's all polite. I heard the noise here early in the morning. If it wasn't for some delays, I would have come here a long time ago. What is this all about? Look, Cheng The nobleman's face is pale."

Hearing the emperor mentioned his name, Cheng Gui hurried forward, "When you return to the emperor, the empress will take the sisters to make dumplings here. It's the first time for the concubines to make dumplings, and the embarrassment made the emperor laugh."

"Make dumplings?" The emperor was curious about how these concubines, who usually wore their underwear and stretched out their hands to eat and opened their mouths, could make dumplings.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen walked to the emperor's side, "Don't look at it like this, the key is to make it lively."

The emperor looked at the big, small, and oddly shaped dumplings on the stage, and didn't expect them to be delicious, but they came out to look lively and fresh, so he didn't intend to spoil everyone's interest, "Give me a bowl, and taste the love." The craftsmanship of concubines."

The big guys are eating and playing, and it is the turn of this time, the highlight, to hunt.

This time the emperor not only brought the empress, concubines and some important ministers with him, but also several princes. Except for the seventh prince who was sent to see the ancestral mausoleum, the other six princes accompanied him.

When the emperor arrived at the hunting ground, the six princes had already arrived, and the tents that had been set up were already filled with wine, vegetables and fruits, waiting for the emperor and empress to perform a simple ceremony before hunting.

The annual hunting activities are not only hunting, it is also a time when the princes are fighting overtly and secretly.Seeing who has the biggest prey, who has the most prey, and whose prey can please the emperor are all places for princes to compare.Fortunately, the emperor doesn't have many sons. In the recent years of competition, several princes have won or lost, and the sixth prince is considered to be the best among them.

The princes who are ready to go are all dressed in short and strong clothes, and their respective bows and arrows are ready, just waiting for the emperor's order.

"This year's autumn hunting is the same as in previous years." The emperor took out an imperial gold medal, "The winner can get this warrior gold medal that represents the bravery of my hall, whether it is my son or my minister, the winner will get it."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he heard a mess of voices, and after a while, the last horse sank into the dense forest.

"Let's go, let's sit down in the tent." The emperor took the queen's hand, and the rest of the concubines sat down according to their ranks.

The maids filled the wine glasses with wine jugs, and the aroma spread in the tent for a while.

The queen picked up the wine glass and stood up, "Today is autumn hunting. On behalf of the concubines of the palace, I wish the emperor good health."

"May the emperor be healthy and healthy." The concubines stood up, Yingying Yanyan, even just listening to it made her feel comfortable.

"I know what my concubines love, and everyone will be rewarded when they return to the palace." The emperor's rare good mood swept away his previous serious appearance, and made the concubines relax.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

"Okay, okay, I'm happy today, I don't need so many etiquettes. I heard that the song sung by Concubine Zhen is worse than the top card in the troupe. Why don't I give you one to help the fun?"

Concubine Zhen smiled and stood up, wearing a light green blouse with silver patterns embroidered with butterflies, the waist was tightened, and a long skirt embroidered with white magnolias of the same color.Comb a simple peach heart bun, wear only a few stars of milky white pearl wreaths, reflecting the black and green luster of the clouds, a thin strand of silver tassel hangs from a slanted emerald hairpin, and the willow-like eyebrows bend like a smile with a smile. Like a crescent moon, "The emperor has won the award, and the concubines are just singing indiscriminately to pass the time."

"My sister's singing voice has also been heard by me, but I have never heard it with my own ears. Today, the emperor has spoken, and my sister will let my sisters feast their ears!"

Both the emperor and the empress opened their mouths, and it would be a little hypocritical for Concubine Zhen to refuse.Clearing his throat, he sang: "Ah~~~~~~~~~~ ten miles of spring breeze..."

Concubine Zhen's voice is gentle and melodious, sometimes singing like a songbird, sometimes like a spring water ding-dong, every sentence sings into people's hearts.Before the song ended, everyone was still immersed in the singing.The emperor was the first to realize that the melody was over, and he stood up and applauded, only then did the crowd realize that they had finished singing.

"It's no wonder the ancients said that they would go around the bridge for three days without end. You can see that the singing of Concubine Zhen has fascinated all the concubines, hahahahaha. Okay, that's great, I want to reward. Empress, what do you think should be rewarded?" The emperor pushed this difficult question to the queen, but he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the fine wine.

The queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Since you want to be a good person, why don't you let me go with the flow and let me do it.So he said, "I think my younger sisters are not short of gold, silver and jewelry. After much deliberation, this harem has not been promoted for many years, and many positions are vacant. Today, the emperor, if you let me be the master, then the harem will also be the master." Be the master. The emperor wants to reward the concubine Zhen, and all the younger sisters rely on the concubine Zhen's blessing. When the time comes to promote a younger sister, don't forget to thank the concubine Zhen."

The emperor stroked his beard and did not object to the queen's words, "Concubine Zhen will be promoted to concubine Zhen, and the rest will be promoted to one level each."

"The concubine thanked the emperor" Everyone was rewarded, and even their voices were full of joy.

The acrobatic troupe in the palace appeared on the stage, smashing boulders on the chest and performing tricks, etc., which attracted everyone's exclamation.

"Your Majesty, something has happened." Just as the performance was in full swing, the eunuch in the palace hurried over and whispered in the emperor's ear.

The emperor's face changed, and he waved his hand to stop the performance, "What happened?"

The eunuch knelt down on the ground with a "boom", "Six, something happened to the sixth prince."

"What?" The queen exclaimed, "Huang, what's wrong with the emperor?" The queen could hardly stand still, if it wasn't for the help of the maid next to her, she might have fallen to the ground.

"Back to the empress, the sixth prince was, was, was..."

"What?" The emperor was furious, and the eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up, "He was shot by General Qian, he was shot."

"Pa" the emperor slapped the table heavily, "What did you say?"

"General Qian's arrow hit the sixth prince, now, now..."

"Get out" the emperor kicked the eunuch heavily, "Quickly send the imperial doctor..."

The sixth prince was carried into the palace in a hurry, and the emperor stared at him, "Bring the sixth prince into my bedroom, the imperial doctor must cure the sixth prince."

The imperial doctor bowed his waist, glanced at the sixth prince with downcast eyes, and said submissively, "Observe the order."

The emperor, empress and a group of courtiers were waiting outside, and the atmosphere was tense for a while, no one dared to say a word, only the empress was sobbing non-stop.

The news that the sixth prince was shot reached Fu Yanyu's ears quickly like the wind.

It was already midnight, and Fu Yanyu hadn't fallen asleep, and was still reviewing the remaining memorials under the candlelight. The news made her put down the memorials in her hand.

"What do you think, princess?"

Fu Yanyu looked at Qiu Yun and Dong Yue who were waiting on the sidelines, turned around and looked at the night outside, pouted, "It's hard to say, General Qian shot his own nephew, I don't know if it's a trick or not. coincide."

Dong Yue's brows furrowed even more when he heard Fu Yanyu's words, "It's definitely not a coincidence."

"If it's not a coincidence, this bitter trick is perfect." Qiu Yun said, she really disliked the sixth prince's trick in her heart, and it was really useless for the sake of the throne.

"I don't think so." The idea of ​​Fu Yanyu came after Dong Yue and Qiu Yun talked. Although she was shocked by this bold guess, she still felt it was reasonable.

"Oh, the princess is..." Qiu Yun wanted to continue, but was stopped by Fu Yanyu's eyes, "Walls have ears, some things should not be said."
