Chapter 284 Shameless
There were no complicated rules at Qingliang Terrace, as there were at the palace. Bai Wei went straight to where the imperial doctors lived. After explaining her reason, a young imperial doctor followed her out, carrying a medicine box on his back.
When the imperial physician saw that Concubine He had a high fever, he examined her carefully and quickly prescribed some medicine.
"Mrs. He is seriously ill. I brought some pills to reduce fever. Please help Ms. He take them first."
"I'll go back and get the medicine, and have the medicine boy bring it over later."
Fubao gave the order calmly while holding the warm water.
"Bai Wei, I need to take care of the young lady. Please send the imperial physician back."
Although the imperial physician has a low rank, he is an extremely important person in the harem.
She didn't dare let the medicine boy who came with her make another trip, so it would be best for her to go by herself.
Fubao glanced at the young lady whose lips were burnt, and took out an inconspicuous purse from the box next to her pillow.
"Dr. Lao Lin braved the snow to see patients. Please take a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
She knew very well that now was not the time to be frugal. If something went wrong with her master, she would suffer the consequences of a small loss.
Fubao didn't know that Doctor Lin, who took the purse, slightly adjusted the dosage when he dispensed the medicine.
The imperial physician accompanying him this time was an experienced and wise man, while Imperial Physician Lin was just a casual laborer who was grabbed by someone.
They knew that Concubine He was not well off, so they pushed the young Imperial Physician Lin out.
Doctor Lin was annoyed by the group's contempt and was emotional when he wrote the prescription.
Doctor Lin was originally dissatisfied, but once he received the reward money, his attitude changed.
When he handed the medicine bag to Bai Wei, he also reminded her of some things that needed attention.
There are few people at Qingliangtai, so news spreads quickly.
Just as Bai Wei took the medicine bag back, Cai Xing learned the news from the palace servants.
"Master, someone saw Noble He's personal maid take a large bag of medicine back home. She must be very ill."
"Cai Xing, the Emperor has asked me to take care of the harem sisters who are traveling. Since Noble Lady He is unwell, please go and see her on my behalf."
Shen Meizhuang gave the order nonchalantly.
"If it's serious, have someone guard the courtyard over there to prevent the illness from spreading to the emperor."
When she heard yesterday that Huanbi had taken people to curry favor with the emperor, she was extremely angry.
Shen Meizhuang, who saw through Huanbi's intention, decided not to let her out before returning to the palace.
"Caiyue, go see if Longyue is awake. If she is, clean her up. I will take her to pay her respects to the Emperor."
She has been taking medicine since she came to Qingliangtai.
This is a good opportunity to get pregnant, she must seize it.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Meizhuang and her group arrived at the emperor's courtyard.
Su Peisheng stepped forward and greeted with a smile, "Empress Hui, the emperor just said that he was a little bored. Please bring the princess here now."
Shen Meizhuang replied with a smile.
"Eunuch Su, what a coincidence! Longyue is also clamoring to see the Emperor."
"You two..."
Before Su Peisheng could finish his words, the emperor came out from behind the curtain and walked straight forward to hold Longyue in his arms.
"Princess Hui, it's very cold outside, please come inside."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
Shen Meizhuang agreed with a smile and gave Caiyue a look before entering the house.
Su Peisheng was able to speak this time, so she didn't need to be stingy with the tip money.
"Princess Hui, do you have something to say?"
Shen Meizhuang responded solemnly.
"Your Majesty is wise. Concubine He developed a high fever before lunch today. I am afraid she may have passed her illness on to you, so I have the audacity to ask Your Majesty to send for the imperial physician to examine her pulse."
"Princess Hui, you don't have to worry. I'm in good health."
"But my Seventeenth Brother has also developed a high fever, which is really a headache."
"I heard that you, Huipin, are good at chess. Come and play a few games with me."
Shen Meizhuang, who was about to open her mouth to advise the emperor, shut her mouth and sat opposite the emperor.
Caiyue tactfully carried Princess Longyue to the east side hall that Su Peisheng had specially cleaned up to make room for the two masters.
Shen Meizhuang knew very well that the emperor must have heard from Zhen Huan that she could play chess.
But she is not as good as Zhen Huan at chess, so I'm afraid what she said was not good.
If she had known that the emperor found life boring, she would have brought the zither with her.
Her zither is the best in the harem.
Shen Meizhuang thought of Qin and her heart moved.
"Your Majesty, I am not a good chess player. I hope you will show mercy."
"Why didn't Lord Shen invite a famous teacher to teach you?"
He heard that Shen Zhen and the other one were learning chess together.
"Your Majesty, I am not very proficient in chess. I have only learned the basics."
"When I was young, I studied with my friend. We both had our own strengths."
"My friend's family even hired a famous teacher to teach her how to dance. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to learn from her. Otherwise, I could have entertained the Emperor."
"Huipin, dancing is not something you can do on stage. There are dancers in the palace, so why do you need to learn these?"
It would have been fine if Shen Meizhuang hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she did, he thought of what Xia Qie had investigated.
Zhen Huan has been learning the Jinghong Dance since she was a child. I heard that Zhen Yuandao specially invited a famous teacher to teach her.
"Princess Hui, if you want to plead for Zhen who is practicing in Ganlu Temple, then don't say anything."
"Your Majesty, I understand..."
Shen Meizhuang was very satisfied with the results of her test.
Zhen Huan ignored the emperor's good intentions and left the palace in anger. This was a thorn in his heart.
If someone pressed it from time to time, the thorn would go deeper and even cause the heart to rot and fester.
According to Shen Meizhuang's understanding of the emperor, as long as Zhen Huan took the initiative and refused to give in, he would not bring her to his side even if he still missed her.
In the next few days, Huanbi, who was recuperating, stayed indoors and Shen Meizhuang slept with her one after another.
After more than ten days of heavy snow, the sky finally cleared up.
Su Peisheng sent word to everyone, saying that he would be leaving for the palace in three days and asked everyone to pack their bags.
"Your Highness, the news from the servants is that the Emperor has ordered you to return to the palace in three days."
Ah Jin, who had returned from getting medicine from the imperial physician, reported in a low voice.
"I am incompetent and have not been able to see the ailing Noble He."
"No problem, my royal brother will return to the palace in three days. As a subject, I must present the ceremony according to the rules."
"It's rare for the ladies of the palace to come out once in a while, so I should show my respect."
"Ah Jin, please ask Madam Zhen to help prepare the ladies' ceremony."
Prince Guo gave him a look, and instructed him to prepare the ceremony for Concubine He seriously.
On the day the emperor returned to Beijing, Prince Guo personally presented the imperial gift to the emperor.
"Brother Emperor, this is a token of my gratitude. Please accept it."
The emperor patted him on the shoulder and told him to take care of himself and return home to celebrate the New Year.
When Huanbi, who was at the back of the team, heard that the prince had sent Cheng Yi, her hands trembled in shock.
"Fubao, send this back. This young master cannot accept it."
"My lady, when Ah Jin handed me over, he said that the other ladies' gifts had already been delivered."
"If you don't accept it, it would be unreasonable."
Fubao didn't understand why his master pushed the money he had earned away.
"Then stay."
Huanbi asked Fubao to put the small box next to her, and opened it casually. On the top of the box was a small piece of red cloth.
She was so frightened that she was shaking all over. How dare the shameless Prince Guo send this to her so blatantly?
