Emperor Xiao Hui remembered that Qin Mian knew medicine, so he pretended not to know when he was laughing, "Yang Aimin, you fool! If you have any hidden ailments, you can just go to the imperial physician at the Imperial Hospital. You can't go to the martial artists outside, what if the treatment gets more severe ?? "Hai."
Almost all of the ministers were laughing with their faces covered by their plates. Even their faces had turned red. The older official then looked at Lord Yang with a pained expression, muttering to himself, "There's something wrong with my tone." Of course, there were also some ministers who were also prepared to send the beauties to the National Duke with sullen faces, and were rather dissatisfied with the National Duke and Madam National Duke.
A minister kindly helped Lord Yang up.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject has not ??" Lord Yang's face was as red as a monkey's butt, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Lei Tia, his heart filled with hatred, "Yes, it's the National Duke's wife, he ??"
Lei Tia asked coldly: "Master Yang, be careful! What does it have to do with my wife? "
Some of the ministers who were good at understanding the divine intent, upon seeing the Emperor Xiao Hui smile without saying a word, they immediately knew that the Emperor was happy to see this scene and brazenly laughed: "Master Yang, could it be that you are trying to say that the reason why you were killed by the National Duke's wife was because of you? You ca
ot wrongly accuse the National Duke Mistress, why would the National Duke Mistress make things difficult for you for no reason? "
One of the most taboo things for the emperor was that ministers formed parties and ran their own businesses. How could Lord Yang explain that it was because he sent a beauty to the National Duke in an attempt to rope him in? He stole a glance at the Emperor Xiao Hui in fear, then knocked down his teeth and swallowed them whole, "This was just a misunderstanding."
Emperor Xiao Hui was well aware of the shady methods of the ministers, but he would never take it for granted that his subordinate would occasionally make a small mistake. If he were to investigate everything, the emperor would have died of exhaustion long ago.
"Alright, as long as there is a misunderstanding, it's fine. "Retreat!" Emperor Xiao Hui flicked his sleeves and left.
After sending off the Emperor Xiao Hui, the ministers all laughed heartily. Some people even intentionally asked if Master Yang had any hidden ailments, and could recommend famous doctors ??
Master Yang's face was ashen. When he turned around, he realized that Lei Tia had disappeared and quickly chased after him.
"National Duke, please wait! It was this humble official who had unintentionally offended your esteemed wife, I wonder if National Duke would be able to ask your esteemed wife to give me the antidote? "
The ministers slowly moved forward, their eyes sneaking glances in that direction.
Lei Tia stared at Master Yang indifferently, "Master Yang, you need to pay attention to evidence. My wife is a first stage Imperial Orders, how can you slander her so casually? This official's standard is not for decoration. "Excuse me."
With that, he walked away.
Lord Yang was enraged, and his entire body shivered.
At noon that day, Qin Mian received a thousand silver notes for the antidote. He calmly accepted it, and gently gave Master Yang a few words to the attendant in his residence, "Tell him that without the antidote, he will be fine after three days."
It was none of his business how Lord Yang frantically threw things around the house. In any case, from then on, no one dared to become a Cypriot in the National Duke's Mansion anymore.
A few days later, it was fifteen. On the first and fifteenth days of the year, the ladies of the court and the wives of the court were ordered to come to the palace to pay their respects to the empress and empress.
As the first stage Imperial Orders's wife, and also the first person to bid farewell to him after being bestowed the title of Emperor, Qin Mian unavoidably had to enter the palace as well. In truth, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
In the morning, he and Lei Tia woke up together. Lei Tia was originally prepared to tell his not to be afraid, but if there was something she needed help with, she immediately shut his mouth. After giving his wife a kiss, he stepped forward to help.
After packing up, the husband and husband went to the palace in a carriage. The ministers entered the palace through the south gate, and the wives were ordered to enter through the north gate. Lei Tia got off the carriage first, and then carried Qin Mian to the north gate.
Qin Mian ignored the other people's looks. After the attendant checked the items they were carrying, he followed the other women and entered the palace.
Since they were going to the imperial harem, Qin Mian didn't want to bring Lei Qinle along. Hence, he brought Lei Qinle along with him to the palace from a Maidservant he brought over from the needlework room. The little Maidservant was clever, she carried her gift and followed closely behind Qin Mian.
Qin Mian sized up the dresses of the female lifeforms along the way and from then on determined their grades. After entering the Palace, he ignored the teasing gazes of the others and calmly stood behind the Prince Ming Concubine.
After the empress dowager came out, Qin Mian helplessly knelt down as well. There was no helping it, unless his family's man was the emperor. Otherwise, as long as they didn't leave the capital, they would kneel to him many times.
Qin Mian was not surprised to feel a sharp gaze from above looking at him.
"Rise." "I was given a seat."
"Empress Dowager Xie."
The empress dowager sized up the crowd, but didn't see Princess Yan Qing. She was somewhat surprised, but relieved, as she looked at Qin Mian and spoke with a gentle voice. "You are Madam National Duke?"
Qin Mian stood up and walked out, cupping his hands. "Reporting to the empress dowager, this one is the one who has the honor of paying respects to the empress dowager. I would be honored if you could give me a small gift. I hope the empress dowager can accept it."
The empress dowager smiled. "Hand it over."
Qin Mian took the red embroidered box from the Maidservant's hands and handed it over to the palace maid.
"Reporting to the empress dowager, this is my cosmetic cream. Not only does it nourish the skin, it can also be applied once. The light, elegant scent can be maintained for one day."
"Oh? It has such a miraculous effect? " Her Majesty's expression was indifferent. As the Empress Dowager, what kind of good thing had she not seen before? She did not take Qin Mian's words to heart, but as the Madam of National Duke, Qin Mian still had to give her some face, as she indicated to the palace maids.
The palace maid brought over the embroidered box, revealing eight small porcelain bottles. Four of them were white porcelain, and the other four were blue porcelain.
"There are a total of eight different scents here. All you need to do is apply a little on your face and rub it open."
The empress dowager smiled. "Madam National Duke, thank you. "Reward."
After that, nothing unhappy like what Qin Mian imagined before he came. The empress dowager exchanged a few more words with the other wives before letting them kneel in respect.
All the wives headed towards the empress's Ku
ing Palace.
The empress's beauty could only be considered to be seventy percent, she was noble and magnanimous, giving people a very comfortable feeling. She chatted with a few high ranking female disciples, including Qin Mian.
Qin Mian gave his six bottles of Cosmetic Cultivation Ointment, as well as a lot of good stuff.
This successful entrance made Qin Mian exclaim inwardly, and he could not help but become more suspicious of Lei Tia's reasons for being recalled back into the capital. The reason was extremely complicated, and he warned himself that he had to be more cautious in the future.
In any case, his goal of entering the palace had been achieved.
Three days later, the Princess Yan Qing would invite Qin Mian to attend the gathering. The Princess Yan Qing was unmarried and still lived in the palace. The Emperor Xiao Hui and the empress dowager were on guard against anyone who provoked National Duke's Mansion. Furthermore, she was a woman, after all, so the place where she met Qin Mian was not in the palace, but in Second Prince Palace.
There was a garden in Second Prince Palace that had a total of fifty over strange flowers. With hundreds of flowers blooming in April, holding a small gathering in the name of admiring flowers would not arouse anyone's suspicions.
Qin Mian took out two items from the items bestowed to him by the empress dowager and empress and wrapped them up, then calmly rode his horse to the Second Prince Palace.
A servant of the Second Prince Palace respectfully invited him in, and then paid respects to the owner.
Second Prince 25, handsome, with a gentle expression; Second Prince Concubine, beautiful, dignified and polite.
But since they were willing to help Princess Yan Qing bridge the bridge, in Qin Mian's eyes, they were enemies. No matter how amiable the two of them acted, he only wanted to make conversation. There was one thing that he had always found strange. Since the Princess Yan Qing was arranged to be at the Second Prince Palace, they could definitely have the Second Prince Concubine post for Qin Mian in her own name. Why would the name of the Princess Yan Qing be written in the post? Was the Princess Yan Qing really that brainless, or was the relationship between the Second Prince's Concubine and the Princess Yan Qing not really that close?
The matters of the royal family were indeed complicated. When Qin Mian put this question to the back of his mind, he would stop thinking and when the time was right, he would naturally find the answer.
After greeting each other, Second Prince Concubine brought Qin Mian to the garden to admire the flowers.
When the Concubine of the Second Prince introduced the various wives to Qin Mian, Qin Mian realized that most of them were third and fourth stage Imperial Orders, and not a single one of them were higher ranked than him. It was probably because the Princess Yan Qing or the Second Prince's Concubine had misgivings.
Those of these lower grades than Qin Mian would not dare to find trouble with him. Qin Mian leisurely gave them their flowers, and the others around him unknowingly walked away, leaving him behind. Without a change in expression, he sat down at a nearby stone table and lightly waved his folding fan.
When Princess Yan Qing arrived, she saw a handsome and charming young man calmly sitting at a stone table. The light wind blew his black hair and white clothes up, making him look very uncomfortable.
The jealousy and hatred in Princess Yan Qing's heart immediately boiled. No matter how outstanding her facial features were, she was still just a country bumpkin. Lei Tianqing didn't even put her, a great princess, in her eyes, yet, she was living a married life with a man. This was equivalent to him slapping her hard the second time, how could she not hate him?
"You are the National Duke's wife?" The Princess Yan Qing raised her head and walked over arrogantly.
"Exactly. "Who are you?" Qin Mian guessed the identity of the person who came and asked even though he knew the answer. He looked at him secretly and almost laughed out loud. He had always thought that the woman who dared to loudly ask for the love of his family's man must have the ability to be outstanding, but this princess had obviously disappointed him.
Maidservant behind Princess Yan Qing immediately scolded, "How dare you! Not bowing when you see Princess Yan Qing? "
"What?" Qin Mian swept his gaze across Princess Yan Qing with disdain and really sneered, "I see that you don't want to live anymore. Just with you, you have to have a face, no face, a body, no body, and yet you dare to pretend to be the Princess Yan Qing? "
Second Prince and Second Prince's Consort, who had been eavesdropping behind the flowers, revealed an astonished look. They looked at each other, not knowing what to think.
This was the first time Princess Yan Qing was criticized like this. She was stu
ed for a moment, then lowered her head and looked at herself.
