Pearl in the Palm - Chapter 12
After a while, an old lady who was over half a hundred years old and grayed out came. After saluting all the empresses, Empress Ti smiled and said: “This is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Mr. Xu, she is thin, so take your pulse. “
Ye Lizhu sat high next to Queen Ti. Across a veil, Doctor Xu knelt on the ground and took her pulse. He looked at Queen Ti with turbid eyes and shook her head. Then he said: “The girl is weaker, and the empress is also weaker. Don’t worry too much, wait for Weichen to prescribe the girl’s prescription.”
After reading the suggestion from Imperial Doctor Xu, Empress Ti understood that Ye Lizhu was indeed not well.
It’s not so good for such a poor girl to marry into the East Palace.
The more impossible it is, the more pity the Queen mentions it.
Look at Ye Lizhu’s family background, what a beautiful girl…
At this time, the court lady came in outside to announce: “The queen, your Royal Highness left the East Palace a quarter of an hour ago, saying that you are here to greet you. The noble concubine, the second prince, and the third princess are already outside the door, so come in.”
Queen Ti was displeased. Concubine Sheng, the shit-cutter, wherever she is not needed, wherever she would go.
However, Queen Ti nodded with a smile.
As he was talking, a luxurious figure came in, Ye Lizhu glanced, and the woman in the middle had a charming face, with the corners of her lips and eyes raised naturally. She was wearing a splendid dress, her temples and hair were like clouds, and her hair was ringing. She must be Sheng Guifei.
Concubine Sheng’s left is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a long stature and a handsome face, just a bit of evil. Next to the boy is a fifteen- or six-year-old girl. A bit timid.
Concubine Sheng Gui bowed, her voice was soft and charming, and the corners of her eyes and lips rose slightly, like the corners of her eyes and lips: “The concubine pleased the empress and empress.”
Empress Ti smiled all over her face, she didn’t let Concubine Sheng get up, and deliberately kept Concubine in her salute posture.
She took a sip of tea slowly, put the tea cup in the hands of the maid, and slowly said: “Sister, you are a fun party, I guess you will come to see Miss Ye. But-Yi Yi Didn’t you go to the Taifu’s lecture? Why do you like to join in the fun like your mother and concubine?”
Concubine Sheng’s clothes and headwear were very heavy. She was weighed down on her body. There was no one to support her. She was so tired that her calves were sore. Hearing the queen talking about Zhao Yi, she hurriedly said: “It’s the concubine who is thinking about it. Bring him here specially.”
The second prince Zhao Yi said: “The imperial concubine and the empress have been talking about you, and the son and minister came over to greet you.”
Empress Ti said: “Yi’er has grown taller again, and she has become more like a prince, but she is still not agile enough, no wonder your Majesty loves to remind you. So soon you can help your mother and concubine to sit on a chair, and she keeps bending down. The body will definitely be tired.”
Zhao Yi helped Concubine Sheng to get up.
When Ye Lizhu saw Concubine Xian, Guiren Jia and Du Bin all got up to salute Concubine Sheng, and followed.
Concubine Sheng Gui came naturally for Ye Lizhu.
The queen has a powerful brother as the backing, and a proud figure like Ye Fuan. King Qin went to be a guest if he wanted to be a guest. Concubine Sheng was so anxious that her eyebrows were burnt. For fear of going to bed one day, she heard that Ye Fuan had betroth her daughter to the prince. Originally, the second prince was surviving in the cracks. The prime minister and the prince joined forces. Is there still a way for the second prince to survive?
She came over this time to see if Ye Lizhu was as weak as the rumors.
Concubine Sheng Gui smiled and said, “Is it the girl from the Ye family? What’s her name?”
Ye Lizhu said: “The courtier Ye Lizhu.”
“Ye Lizhu, tsk tsk, the pearl of a thousand gold, it is really rare.” Sheng Guifei said, “Last month the second prince gave a pair of ears to the palace, which happened to be worth a thousand gold. Sang Yu, bring it here, and the palace will personally give it to Ye The girl put it on.”
Ye Lizhu didn’t want to be treated like this. Concubine Sheng was second only to the queen in the harem. Now she wears her ears and spreads it out. Others only treat her as a good story. She thinks that the relationship between the two is very good. Gui wears ears for her.
Concubine Sheng is the biological mother of the second prince. If someone spreads rumors to fan the flames, then she and the second prince will be tied together.
It’s okay for the second prince not to want her, but when a woman gets involved with another man, her reputation is almost ruined.
Ye Lizhu stepped back and said with a smile: “The courtier doesn’t have pierced ears, so he can’t wear ear scallops. The courtier’s heart has taken hold of the imperial concubine.”
Concubine Sheng found it rare: “Did you not pierce your ears?”
The maid that Ye Lizhu brought in, Yusha said, “Miss grew up in a temple since she was a child, and she dresses up from time to time.”
Concubine Sheng Gui was originally a coquettish and domineering person. If King Qin was not in the capital, relying on the emperor’s affection for her, she would definitely not be so respectful to the queen.
After hearing the words of Ye Lizhu’s maid, Concubine Sheng was no longer happy. She took the initiative to lower her status to wear ears, but Ye Lizhu didn’t have pierced ears? If it doesn’t, two holes will be drilled.
Concubine Sheng Gui said: “This is easy to do. Ask two aunts to come over and pierce Miss Ye. Since she is a lady of high class, she always wears earrings.”
Concubine Sheng was right. Sooner or later, I have to pierce my ears. If I don’t give face to Concubine Sheng, I will definitely not get through today.
Queen Ti said: “Go and call two aunts over.”
She glanced at Ye Lizhu, and Ye Lizhu understood.
Concubine Sheng sat down to drink tea, and the second prince Zhao Yi was beside Concubine Sheng, and he also secretly looked at Ye Lizhu.
In a moment, the two aunts came over, and Ye Lizhu was taken behind the screen.
The two aunts used small golden beans to grind Ye Lizhu’s earlobes, and the earlobes on both sides gradually became numb. When she felt unconscious, two hot silver needles passed through.
There was a pain, and the blood dripped down, and the two aunts rushed to stop Ye Lizhu’s bleeding and put a tea stem through the ear hole. At this moment, Ye Lizhu suddenly pretended to be dizzy, closed his eyes and lay on the couch.
The two aunts hurriedly said: “It’s not good, Miss Ye fainted!”
When it spread to the outside, Queen Ti was proud of her heart, but she still frowned: “Hurry up and call the imperial physician! Miss Ye is the jewel in the palm of the hand held by the prime minister. Prime Minister Ye has done things for her Majesty. For many years, she has done her best. Mistake, isn’t it cold the prime minister’s heart!”
Concubine Sheng was also a little panicked. She can be domineering in the palace, all in the favor of your majesty. Although Empress Ti was left out by her Majesty, she did not have the backing of King Qin. If Ye Lizhu was so bad and made a big mistake, then King Qin and Prime Minister Ye would hold on to this point, and wait for your majesty to blame, wouldn’t she suffer?
Dr. Xu was brought in again, and at this time, Prince Zhao Yun also came.
The prince looked at the people in the room where Wu Ya was pressing, and he didn’t understand: “Mother, what happened?”
Queen Ti said: “Yun’er, you are here. It was the young lady of the Ye family who passed out in a coma. She was thin and the concubine saw that she had no pierced ears, so she had to pierce her ears. As a result, Miss Ye couldn’t bear the pain. I passed out after wearing it.”
Zhao Yun: “…”
Is this woman too weak? Why did someone such a great uncle blindly fall in love with a woman who can faint with pierced ears? Uncle’s taste is worrying!
If the next day comes to the bridal chamber, wouldn’t this weak woman be finished?
Concubine Sheng Gui had already entered to see people, and Queen Ti and the prince said a few words and went in.
The prince was hesitating whether to go in to see what Ye Lizhu looked like, but saw the second prince Zhao Yi and the third princess Sirou also drill in, and immediately became furious: “Zhao Yi, Sirou, what are you going in for?”
Tixiao had already entered the palace gate, and he would be there within a quarter of an hour. Zhao Yun knew that his uncle was moody and his temper was the worst.
It is not a good thing that Ye Lizhu fainted. If Zhao Yi was allowed to visit again, Ti Xiao would be furious.
