Chapter 155: Pearl and jade on the side, I feel ugly
Is it finally here?
Xin Yi calmly washed his hands, changed into clean clothes, told Mrs. An and her husband to take the three little ones, and then calmly got on Zheng Liu's carriage.
She thought she would face the wrath of Lei Lei when she went to Cao Mansion.
Unexpectedly, it was a gentle breeze and drizzle.
A little girl took her into the mulberry picking courtyard. Waiting for her were not only the eldest lady of the Cao Mansion, Feng Shi, but also Empress Cao.
The eldest lady looked calmly and wordlessly as she looked Xin Yi up and down, looking again and again, feeling unhappy in every possible way. Empress Cao, as gentle and noble as ever, withdrew her servants, and then allowed Xin Yi to come closer to see her.
Xin Yi consulted Queen Cao several times, but it was never as difficult as this time.
But once it comes, let's make peace with it.
She took pulses, asked questions, prescribed prescriptions, and recorded medical records. She was meticulous and as calm as if nothing had happened.
Queen Cao seemed very satisfied with this and glanced at the eldest lady with a smile.
"I have been sleeping peacefully recently and my body has become much more relaxed. This is all due to Mrs. Zhang."
The eldest lady knew very well that when her daughter returned to the house at this time, she was clearly a reinforcement sent by her son to intercede for Madam Zhang.
She had originally planned to give Mrs. Zhang a little money after she had finished her treatment, watch her fuss and look like she had never seen the world, and then take the opportunity to beat and humiliate her so that she would quit and see clearly.
My own identity can help my daughter see clearly that such a woman is not worthy of a son of the Cao family.
However, Xin Yi's calmness surprised her.
Regardless of her identity as a widow, this Miss Zhang is young, dignified, generous, calm and collected, and there is no trace of pettyness in her body. If she had a good family background, she would be worthy of her son.
Queen Cao looked at her mother and asked Xin Yi with a smile.
"Ms. Zhang, how is my illness?"
"Excellent." Xin Yi smiled slightly and said: "But I heard that it is inappropriate when the saint lies down. In winter, everything is sealed, the yin energy is strong, and the yang is weak. The sage should focus on nourishing and storing, gathering yang and replenishing the kidney, three times a day
All meals must be hot, go to bed early and get up late, and sleep as long as you can. A sage wakes up too early."
Queen Cao smoothed her hair, a look of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
"The weather is cold and cold, and it's a magical time to be nestled under the quilt. I also wish I could sleep a little longer, but every day before dawn, people come to Kunning Hall to wait to say hello. It's not good to wake up late."
It’s so difficult for the majestic mother of a country to sleep in?
Xin Yi looked at Empress Cao's face: "The saint has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is suffering from cold syndrome. Only when he sleeps well can he have enough righteousness. Only when he has enough righteousness can he resist the disease. The saint must not underestimate the role of sleep. If the saint
If you are used to getting up late, maybe those who wish to greet you will come later..."
Queen Cao smiled slightly and said nothing more.
The people and things in the palace are far from simple.
Not to mention that she got up late, but she couldn't afford to spend the whole day. Those people had enough "filial piety" to wait outside, but it was her fault.
"Mrs. Zhang." Empress Cao glanced at her old mother lightly: "The eldest lady has not been feeling well recently. She caught a cold a few days ago and is feeling restless. She has trouble sleeping and is depressed. The symptoms are eighty-nine times similar to mine.
.Why don’t you mix some of your loose-qi pills and happy cakes and give it to the eldest lady to try too?”
From the moment she walked in, the eldest lady never gave Xin Yi a good look.
Hearing this, she also smiled lightly.
"Sanqi pills and happy cakes are prepared for saints. If saints can eat them, the eldest lady may not be able to eat them. And since the eldest lady is old, she may not be well after eating them."
Feng's face immediately fell.
She is only fifty years old. She has a well-maintained face, but she is old. Also, the queen can eat, but the queen's mother cannot? Doesn't this mean that her status is not as valuable as that of her daughter?
Feng stretched out his hand to hold his temples and smiled coldly.
"Mrs. Zhang, please don't lose your sense of proportion..."
"My dear madam, please forgive me." Xin Yi saw Feng's frown and smiled lightly, "Qi rises and falls, internal organs have cold and heat, and people's constitutions also have different strengths and weaknesses. The effects of the same medicine and the same disease may be greatly different. Therefore.
, If the eldest lady wants to take medicine, it must be prepared according to the eldest lady's constitution and age. As a doctor, it is appropriate to not deceive, deceive, or flatter and talk nonsense."
Feng was speechless.
His eyebrows and eyes were full of annoyance, but he couldn't express it.
Looking at Xin Yi again, her eyes were full of leisure, as if she couldn't see the eldest lady's dislike for her. Her expression was gentle and her smile was gentle and clear, like the clear spring water that had been hidden in the mountains for a long time.
The "little widow who can only seduce the husband with her heretical thoughts" in the lady's words is completely different.
Not wanting to beat around the bush any more, Mrs. Feng placed the teacup in her hand on the table in a dull tone.
"Miss Zhang, I have something to ask you."
Xin Yi saluted gracefully, "Madam, please speak."
Feng frowned and said, "My dear concubine of Cao Mansion, will I humiliate you?"
Xin Yi was startled.
In fact, she is not as scheming as the eldest lady thinks. The reason why she can neither be humble nor overbearing is, firstly, because of the psychological advantage of the "planner", who always thinks that these are paper figures, and secondly, because she likes to "make things worse" when she is indecisive -
—Love it.
Anyway, if others can't stand her and can't kill her, then it should be others who are angry.
She had no idea that the Nine Heavens had already appeared in the eldest lady's belly.
Hearing this, Xin Yi smiled disapprovingly.
"If I don't hide this from the eldest lady, I will be humiliated."
The eldest lady's face changed.
Even Queen Cao looked a little surprised.
The good concubine is the first of the four concubines, second only to the wife. The eldest lady is willing to accept her as the good concubine of the Cao Mansion, already feeling that it is a shame to the family. Rather than asking her "Will a good concubine humiliate me?", the eldest lady is better to say:
He was warning her that she could only be a "good concubine" at best and not to have any more wishful thinking.
However, the Xinyi people did not accept this, as if they did not understand other people's implication, they directly replied, "It's humiliating."
The eldest lady was caught off guard.
This little lady's behavior may seem gentle, but in reality she is unruly, which challenges her dignity.
It took a long time for the eldest lady to stand up.
"You, Miss Zhang, are you still dreaming of becoming Heng Qi's wife if you don't have a good concubine? What a wishful thinking! As long as I live for a day, you can't even think of entering the Cao Mansion..."
Xin Yi smiled: "Then Madam, you must live a good life, be as blessed as the East Sea, and live as long as the Southern Mountains."
"You...you..."
The eldest lady pointed at her and was so angry that she could not speak.
Empress Cao knew her mother's temper, so she immediately supported her and comforted her softly, and then gave Xin Yi a calm and stern look.
"Ms. Zhang and Heng Qi are in love, and sometimes it is difficult to accept it for a while. My mother loves Heng Qi and considers him wholeheartedly, but this matter cannot be rushed. They have to give them some time before they will understand my mother's painstaking efforts..."
When Xin Yi heard this, he felt a little restless.
She knew clearly that the person in front of her was the current mother of the country and could not be offended, but when the words came to her lips, she did not say them out unhappily.
"Sage, forgive me." She dug her palms and lowered her head slightly, "Master Cao is elegant and elegant, and he is warm even when he looks at him. It is normal for the young lady to like him, but the young lady is shallow in talent and appearance and has no self-awareness.
, If I’m not afraid of conflict, I admire and admire Mr. Cao, but I don’t dare to marry..."
After a pause, she raised her head and spoke calmly every word.
"The pearls and jade are by my side, and I think I look dirty. Let alone a good concubine, even if I am a real wife, I will probably be very frightened and dare not reach out to her."
"Are you insulting me? How dare you, you still want to marry Heng Qi?" The eldest lady was so angry that she pointed at her and gasped.
She is the mother of the queen, and the emperor is polite to her. When has he ever been so angry?
She felt that every word Xin Yi said was ironic.
But the anger could not be released.
After all, her words were euphemistic, and she did not say bad things about Cao Mansion, but praised her family's prominent family, and praised Cao Yi for being handsome, handsome, and charming, so that she would look ugly next to him, so she did not dare to become his wife or concubine.
.
"Sage, forgive me." Xin Yi sighed quietly when he saw Empress Cao constantly bringing water to the eldest lady.
What she said was true.
Madam, have you watched too many house fights and palace fights?
"I don't mean to offend, but my low status has ruined the eldest lady's good intentions. If the saint doesn't mind, I can ask the eldest lady's pulse, prescribe a prescription, and take care of her body..."
"No need." Feng was so angry that she refused in front of Empress Cao, "I dare not insult Madam Zhang's wonderful hands. Come and see the guests off!"
Xin Yi opened his eyes and saluted the two of them.
"The little woman takes leave. Take care, saint, and take care, madam!"
After that, she turned around and left.
It was still the girl named Hongyun who sent her out of the Mulberry Cai Pavilion.
However, this time Hongyun didn't show her the same expression as before, but instead showed a bit of sympathy and confusion.
"Ms. Zhang was so majestic just now. Although we saints will not blame you, I'm afraid the eldest lady has written it down for you. If you want to get along with Master Cao in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult..."
Xin Yi smiled and didn't say much.
She just wanted to talk out the conversation so that the eldest lady would not regard her as a scourge and not embarrass Cao Yi. She had to think too much, so what could be done?
That’s fine.
Say it once and for all to avoid trouble.
Xin Yi thought clearly, but unexpectedly, Cao Yi chased him before he left the house.
After not seeing each other for only a few days, Cao Yi had lost a lot of money. He was only wearing a blue robe and no accessories. His clean and miserable appearance made Xin Yi feel sour in his heart.
