Loyang Jin

The fourth day after the flower viewing party.

After Queen Xu got up in the morning, several palace ladies helped Queen Xu wash and change clothes in an orderly manner.

Ruilian served with a smile and said with a smile: "Queen, this pot of Luoyang brocade has all bloomed. If you put it in the bedroom, the fragrance will fill the air. It smells better than any incense."

Empress Xu nodded with a smile: "Yes! Jingshu's ability to grow peonies is indeed far better than others. I like to enjoy peonies every year, and this year's pot of flowers is particularly suitable for me."

Especially the aroma of this pot of Luoyang brocade is particularly fragrant and refreshing. After only leaving it in the bedroom for a few days, the fragrance was everywhere. Even the dress exudes a faint fragrance.

In addition, Ling Jingshu has been calm and honest since entering the palace, and Wei Yan has not shown too much closeness to her. Empress Xu has become less wary of Ling Jingshu.

After breakfast, as usual, the palace concubines came to pay their respects. After chatting for a while, they all left.

Next, the female officer and the chief eunuch should have gone back and forth to report on the day's affairs. But it was delayed because Wei Yan came to ask for peace of mind for Queen Xu.

"The Imperial Physician Wei is asking the Queen for a safe pulse inside. Let's wait outside the palace for a while." Qiu Shuang said in a low voice.

Ling Jingshu nodded and hummed, but she was thinking secretly in her heart. The flower-viewing banquet was over, and the pot of Luoyang brocade was still safe and sound in Queen Xu's palace.

What on earth is Wei Yan going to do?

…

Spring is coming, flowers are blooming, and the weather is getting hotter. Wearing heavy official uniforms, it is inevitable to feel a little hot.

Wei Yan was sweating slightly on his forehead, but his expression was as gentle as usual. After greeting Queen Xu and saluting, he stepped forward to diagnose Queen Xu's pulse.

The Ping'an pulse test every five days has become a routine in the past few years. For Queen Xu, this was also a rare opportunity for her to summon Wei Yan in an open and fair manner.

Queen Xu stretched out her right hand, and Wei Yan sat next to Queen Xu, stretched out his fingers and gently placed them on Queen Xu's wrist.

The two of them were only a foot apart.

Wei Yan could even smell the faint scent of peony on Queen Xu's dress.

Wei Yan lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Queen Xu's eyes fell firmly on Wei Yan's young and handsome face. That gaze was bright and greedy, as if Wei Yan was a piece of delicious, tender meat, making people salivate.

Wei Yan turned a blind eye and looked calm. After checking his pulse for a moment, he retracted his hand, then stood up and took a few steps away. He cupped his hands and said: "The queen's phoenix body is quite peaceful, nothing serious. It's just that the spring is dry, and it's easy to get angry. Wei Chen This is a prescription for the empress to clear away heat, clear the mind and calm the mind. Just drink it for five or six days."

The concubines in the palace would drink tonics to replenish themselves when they had nothing to do, or they would drink prescriptions to calm the mind and calm the mind.

Empress Xu did not take this matter to heart, and smiled casually: "I can trust the prescriptions prescribed by Imperial Physician Wei. Come and serve the pen and ink."

Wei Yan responded respectfully, and when the palace maid brought the pen and ink, he immediately wrote the prescription.

According to the rules of the palace, this prescription must be diagnosed by two imperial doctors in the imperial hospital together. After confirming that the prescription is OK, the medicine can be prepared according to the prescription. Then, the eunuch who specializes in testing medicine drank the medicine and waited for a quarter of an hour without any abnormality before bringing the medicine to Queen Xu.

Prescriptions and medicine residues are stored by dedicated personnel. In case there are any problems with the decoction, you can always check thoroughly.

The rules are so strict to prevent the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital from having different intentions, or the eunuch who took the medicine and brewed it made a mistake.

After filling out the prescription, Wei Yan resigned with a smile.

Queen Xu glanced at Wei Yan longingly and sighed secretly.

I have been coveting it for so many years, but unfortunately I have never been able to achieve my wish.

This Wei Yan really doesn't know how to praise. If it had been anyone else, she would have been rude. But I always have some scruples about Wei Yan, and even more fear, I don't dare to force him too much.

So, I could only watch Wei Yan turn around and leave again.

Empress Xu didn't see that Wei Yan, who had his back to her, raised the corners of his lips, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

…

"Look, Imperial Doctor Wei is out." Qiu Shuang pressed against Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu had already seen Wei Yan without Qiu Shuang's reminder.

Their eyes met in the air. Wei Yan suddenly gave Ling Jingshu a meaningful look.

Ling Jingshu's heart moved, and an idea vaguely appeared in her mind. Although she didn't know exactly what Wei Yan was going to do, it seemed that Wei Yan had already done it secretly.

"I have seen Imperial Physician Wei." Ling Jingshu, Qiu Shuang and others saluted together.

Wei Yan was known for being gentle and polite in the palace, and kept a certain distance from all the maids and officials. This time was no exception, and he said to everyone: "I came to diagnose the Queen's pulse today, and I'm really sorry for wasting your time."

Qiu Shuang rushed to respond: "It's such a small thing, it's nothing to worry about. Doctor Wei doesn't need to worry about it."

Wei Yan smiled, nodded to everyone, and left.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu resisted the urge to watch Wei Yan go away, and smiled at Qiu Shuang and others: "Let's go in together to pay our respects to the Queen!"

Everyone happily agreed.

Entering the Jiaofang Hall, I saw Empress Xu with a smile on her face and a spring breeze on her face.

Qiu Shuang is the best at flattering and flattering, and immediately smiled and said: "I see that the queen is in a good mood and looks better these days!"

Luo Yan was not to be outdone, and took over the conversation with a smile: "Yes, the Queen's face is rosy, white and rosy, and there is always a faint fragrance floating on her body. She is so far away, and the slaves can smell it! I don't know if the Queen is What fragrance did you use to diffuse your clothes? It’s really embarrassing.”

Empress Xu smiled and said: "Speaking of fragrance, this is all Jingshu's credit. After the pot of Luoyang brocade was moved to my bedroom, the fragrance was overflowing. My clothes and dresses did not need to be incense, but they were also filled with peonies. aroma."

Ling Jingshu smiled hurriedly and humbled herself: "The Queen has given you a great reward. I am too ashamed to deserve it."

"There is nothing you should be ashamed of. Your contribution is yours and no one can take it away." Empress Xu said kindly: "I have already rewarded you with a hundred taels of gold. This is just gold and silver. From now on. From the beginning, you should also serve me!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Although there were many female officials around Queen Xu, the only ones who served her closely every day were Ruilian and Qiu Shuang. Now there is another Ling Jingshu!

It is simply amazing that Ling Jingshu has received such an honor less than half a year after entering the palace.

Luoyan's eyes almost popped out of his head with jealousy.

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly and thanked her calmly.

Being able to serve Queen Xu is naturally a good thing for her. This meant that she could get closer to Queen Xu and collect more and more useful information.
