Chapter 754: Qingan Palace (4)
Qing Lian pointed in a direction. Seeing that Bai Zhi couldn’t understand, she simply took her to detour to the Ruyi Palace where Imperial Concubine Shu lived. By then, she will recognize the way.
“Which is the most favored concubine in the palace?” Since the gossip box has been opened, it’s better to gossip until the end.
Qing Lian laughed secretly. It turned out that Miss Bai Zhi also liked to listen to this.
“The most favored concubine should be Imperial Concubine Shu. The emperor comes to the harem 10x in a month, and five of them have been in the Ruyi Palace. It has always been like this for many years.”
Bai Zhi got more determined: “What about the empress? How many times does the emperor go to the empress’s palace every month?”
Qing Lian said: “It’s once a month at most. On the 15th day of each month, the emperor will stay with the empress. But I heard that the emperor sometimes deliberately do official business and stay in the Imperial Study Room until late at night. Then he will go to the empress’s palace for breakfast in the morning, and that’s it!”
Bai Zhi spat out her tongue: “The emperor is biased! doesn’t the empress get angry?”
Qing Lian covered her mouth and laughed: “What’s the use of being angry? She can only lose your temper with the servant in the palace.”
“Do you know Prince Jin’s biological mother?” This was what she really wanted to ask today.
Qing Lian’s complexion drastically changed. She looked around and then lowered her voice: “This is a taboo in the palace. You can’t mention it, especially in front of the Empress Dowager.”
Bai Zhi was puzzled: “Why? Didn’t they say she died of dystocia when she gave birth to Prince Jin? Why can’t I mention her?”
Qing Lian only shook her head and didn’t speak. She also showed an expression that she will not say anything about it no matter what.
Bai Zhi became more and more puzzled. Before asking this, she hadn’t thought so much about it. Seeing Qing Lian’s reaction, she had to think more.
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived outside the Qingan Palace. The palace maids in there immediately came out to welcome her.
Qing Lian said: “Miss Bai, this palace maid can only send you here. You have to be careful when you meet the empress.”
Bai Zhi nodded: “I remember, thank you, sister!”
Watching her back disappear at the gate of Qingan Palace, Qing Lian was very worried. Bai Zhi’s temperament was beyond comprehension. She easily gets along with everyone, but it wouldn’t do much.
Bai Zhi went to the hall and knelt to pay respect. Although her knees were kneeling on the carpeted ground, she still felt a faint pain. She couldn’t help but complain about that dead eunuch who previously announced the edict. He made them kneel in the snow for a long time. Zhao Lan’s legs had rheumatism, it might appear again this time.
“You may rise!” The empress sat in a high position with half-closed eyes and a lazy appearance.
Bai Zhi got up and said: “Thank you, Empress!”
“This empress heard that you are only 13 this year?” Su Chun slightly raised her eyes. There was a bit trace of sharpness in her lazy eyes.
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow, but respectfully replied: “This young lady is born in September and now is 14.”
Su Chun nodded her head and looked at Bai Zhi from head to toe. No wonder Chu Feng’s heart skipped a bit. No matter if it was her appearance or temperament, this little girl was ten times better than that of Bai Zheznhu.
“It’s really a wonder to learn medicine at a young age.”
Bai Zhi replied: “The empress’s praise is too much. This young lady is ashamed.”
Su Chun smiled and said, “Sit down, standing there is tiring.” After that, she winked at the court lady beside her.
The court lady understood her meaning. She turned around and went to the tea house.
Bai Zhi didn’t take her seat. She looked at Su Chun and smiled: “The empress dowager is worried about the empress’s body. She specifically ordered this young lady to come and check the empress’s pulse. This young lady hasn’t done her job. How can she sit down and drink tea?”
