Chapter 47 Chapter 47: Encounter on a Narrow Road
Among the female doctors who entered the other hospital of the imperial medical department this autumn, only Long Baiyue and Yu'er passed the examination and were admitted to the palace.When they were led into the palace by Mr. Yuan in the early morning, they happened to pass by the officials of the next court.
Long Baiyue mixed among the female medical team, thinking that she might be able to see Zi Mian among the officials, she couldn't help but look up at them, but as soon as she looked up, she met the prime minister face to face, so scared that she hurriedly lowered her head and avoided The Prime Minister's sharp gaze.
"Oh, isn't that Long Huakui..." The officials have already started whispering, many of them have socialized with Long Baiyue, some are surprised, some are embarrassed, some are interested, and they are all paying attention she.
Out of the corner of Long Baiyue's eyes, she could see those probing eyes, and she reminded herself not to panic, but when a pair of familiar eyes stared at her, her heart skipped a beat.
Long Baiyue had no choice but to turn her head and meet those pitch-black eyes—Chu Xun? !
She was stunned, she didn't expect to meet him again at this moment.Long Baiyue's face turned pale, and her heart felt a little stuffy.When she saw Chu Xun's eyes, she was surprised at first, wondering why she appeared in the palace; then there was a flash of certainty in her eyes - she knew she recognized him; then the meaning of the eyes turned into inquiry and Inquiring, it seems to be asking her how she has been these years, and why she came here?
At this moment, Long Baiyue withdrew her gaze from meeting him, and her face returned to calm. She had completely abandoned the past, and since then she has nothing to do with him, so why bother?She walked over without hesitation, not knowing that her haughty look made Chu Xun embarrassed...even scared.
Chu Xun turned his head and looked at Long Baiyue's back—she was more mature and beautiful than before, and she was no longer that clear-eyed person whose emotions could be easily swayed by him. She remembered him and seemed to have hatred, but like this However, she entered the palace——with unsurpassed beauty.
Chu Xun's heart sank, and as he changed his mind, he quietly approached the prime minister ahead.
Long Baiyue walked in with the team, and soon saw He Lingyun in the military attache's team, he stretched his face and ignored her, even when people around him pulled his sleeves and asked him to look at Long Baiyue, he still no response.Long Baiyue was a little bit annoyed - this awkward man, he didn't know if he could meet again in the future, and he was still being serious right now.
After that came the artificer officer, Long Baiyue's heart was beating, her face was slightly red - God bless Zimian, she must come to the morning court today, but don't be lazy and ask for sick leave again.
When Zi Mian's tall figure bumped into Long Baiyue's eyes, she finally got her wish, her whole body relaxed, her lips were tightly pursed and she smiled slightly.Zi Mian was being held back by several medical officers to ask questions. He was tall, so he had to lower his head slightly to listen.When he saw the neat team of female doctors passing by his side, he couldn't help but interrupt the conversation and looked up at the team.It was easy for him to catch Long Baiyue's gaze and her shallow smile. Her gentle and pleasant appearance made his eyes warm, and he felt relieved, and gave him an encouraging look.
Long Baiyue raised her eyebrows confidently in response.The teams in each other can't stay, they can only pass each other in a hurry, they are like two fish, following two rivers in opposite directions, they only have time to glance at each other in the chaotic shadows of the fish, and then they have to swim away - but not Forget each other in the rivers and lakes.
This alone already made Long Baiyue satisfied.
She took a deep breath, smiled and walked into the deep palace.Just when Long Baiyue was thinking about it, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yu'er's pale face, ready to cry - she must have seen her original master just now, Long Baiyue guessed.
Chu Xun was already close to the prime minister, so close that he could see the dark embroidery on the prime minister's clothes, he began to smile and frequently looked back at the team of medical girls leaving, his dark and bright eyes were shining with curiosity and lingering brilliance, and he looked forward to Shenfei His appearance finally made his colleagues laugh when they left the palace, and jokingly said: "Chu Sicheng, are you still thinking about it?"
"Well, that was the team of medical girls just now? The lower official clearly saw that Tian Tian was so beautiful that she didn't lose at all to the harem Jiao'e." His innocent appearance made everyone burst into laughter.
"Chu Sicheng doesn't know something. You haven't been in the capital for a long time, so you haven't seen her, no wonder she's so amazing." An official showed a dirty face, "That woman was originally an oiran, and somehow she sneaked into the palace. Here we come."
"Oiran? Can such a woman enter the palace?" Chu Xun was quite surprised, and said in astonishment, "It is not an exaggeration to call this kind of woman a beauty, and she is charming to ordinary people. Even if she is an ordinary court lady now, it won't take long. You must also have a bewitching face to confuse the Lord, and spoil the harem, right?"
At this time, the prime minister frowned and turned around, looked at Chu Xun, and knew that he was from the sixth-rank Prime Minister of Sinongsi, the Xinzheng faction, in order to expand its power, just promoted him to the capital this summer. I heard that this person is meticulous in his work, why is he so? Outspoken?The prime minister said in a low voice: "Chu Sicheng, you are new to Beijing, you need to learn more about the rules."
Chu Xun's bright eyes suddenly showed a hint of panic, and hurriedly lowered his head to bow to the prime minister: "I'm sorry, I have forgotten my feelings for a while, and I am too talkative. Thank you, prime minister, for reminding me."
"Hmph." The prime minister glanced at him, always disdainful of the attitude of the New Deal faction—but Chu Xunzhi's words reminded him, he raised his eyes and looked inside the palace gate, only to see officials coming out constantly, how could they be seen? The team of medical women.Why did Long Baiyue, a chess piece he had discarded, appear here?He didn't need her on the chessboard in the palace, but she appeared, which was a mess.
The prime minister turned back and continued walking calmly, while Chu Xun stood behind him in a daze, at a loss, until someone patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, although the prime minister is serious, he is upright, don't be too afraid."
Chu Xun nodded gratefully, and then walked with confidence.On the surface, he seemed to be hesitant to speak but he had lingering fears, but he was calculating in his heart - before he came to the capital, he had already memorized the official talisman. He knew that the empress and the prime minister were inextricably linked. Now Empress Jiaren has been neglected by the emperor. , if it weren't for the fact that the emperor's son was weak, and there was only one son, the prince, the successor would have been in jeopardy long ago.She and the prime minister have the same interests, and they use each other. The prime minister must not let her status be hindered. The emperor's favorite Concubine Yan Gui is said to be a beauty as beautiful as a peony. She just fell ill and died in early winter. In the lonely heart of mourning, I am most afraid that someone will take advantage of it.
The prime minister's concerns were also his own concerns - he and Yan Xiu had occasional correspondence, Yan Xiu had a letter in the summer, and only a few words mentioned Long Baiyue. He didn't care about it at the time, so he couldn't remember it clearly. Does it mean that she clings to a certain Beijing official—from the oiran to the Beijing official, and then sneaks into the palace, she really has the means, but who knows that her ambition and beauty can't let her climb to a more prominent master?But Long Baiyue still remembered him, but she didn't see warmth in her eyes. How could she know that she didn't hold a grudge when she easily abandoned her?
He was afraid that Long Baiyue would become a hidden danger in his official career, so it would be great if he could get rid of her with the help of the prime minister and solve his worries.As for the fact that his abrupt behavior displeased the prime minister just now, Chu Xun was not worried—the teacher who promoted him was Dali Siqing, so he didn’t need to hurry to please the prime minister, and the most important thing was to gain a firm foothold in the New Deal faction first. of.
Chu Xun felt aggrieved and moved closer to Dali Temple Secretary Lu Daren: "Oops, I just walked a few steps away from the official, I didn't pay attention, somehow I was called by the prime minister to discipline me, oh..."
"Don't be wronged, how can he see us pleasing to the eye," the officials of the New Deal faction laughed at him, "walk slowly in the future, don't wade into their muddy water..."
Long Baiyue was transferred away after only three days in the medical bureau.Before she had time to take care of a patient, the empress ordered her to serve Princess Yunyang in Cuiying Hall.When Yizhi came down, there was an uproar in the medical bureau, and the medical officials looked at each other in dismay, so——isn't this letting Long Baiyue be an ordinary court lady, she is the most senior among the medical ladies! Long Baiyue had no choice but to pack up her bags and leave. Before she left, she specifically told the medical officers not to tell Mr. Yuan that she could hide it for a while. She was afraid that he would jump up in anger.The medical officers nodded in agreement, but hesitated to speak. In the end, they still didn't have the courage to tell Long Baiyue what kind of place the Cuiying Palace she was going to be. After bidding farewell to the helpless medical officer, Yu'er whose eyes were red from crying, and the indifferent female palace maid, Long Baiyue followed the eunuchs to Cuiying Hall.Along the way, she kept introspecting herself. What did she do to make the queen, whom she had never met, make a decree for her?Long Baiyue thought of what He Lingyun told her before, Empress Jiaren thought of the prime minister, and then thought of the meeting with the prime minister when she entered the palace before, she couldn't help but wake up—could the prime minister have seen through her mind and knew that she would enter the palace to help Zi Mian find His life experience, so as to stop her through the queen?He made her unable to be a medical girl, unable to follow the medical officers to every corner of the harem, but trapped her in a palace so that she could not use her hands and feet? Long Baiyue gritted her teeth, knowing that her future was full of difficulties, but she could enter the deep palace anyway, she didn't believe that the palace was full of minions of the prime minister, as long as she worked hard, she would definitely be able to make a difference. There is no other reason why Cuiying Hall is called Cuiying Hall, but because the palace courtyard is full of bamboo.The winter scene in the evening was bleak and desolate, Long Baiyue walked all the way, looking at the green bamboos and bamboos on both sides, she thought to herself that Princess Yunyang was probably an elegant and pure person. Walking outside the gate of Cuiying Palace, the eunuch asked the palace servants to go in and report. After a while, the palace servants came out but they were not allowed to enter the palace. Instead, it was Princess Yunyang who ordered the eight court ladies to light lanterns in front of her, while she slouched on a pair of embroidered shoes. He walked out triumphantly. Long Baiyue couldn't help being stunned, she had never seen the princess before, but she had seen married women like Mrs. He, so she inferred that the princess should be wearing airtight clothes with a tight neckline, sitting upright, with a cold face That's right—but this princess obviously made a wrong move, she didn't know when she was growing up, she went astray and turned into this appearance. Princess Yunyang is only sixteen years old, her complexion is as snowy as frost, and her radiant black hair is still shining in the twilight, but it is not tied up.She is not afraid of the cold in the twelfth lunar month with her breasts bared -- she is better developed than Long Baiyue. She wears a red brocade cloak casually on her shoulders. She doesn't wear leather goods on her body. Putting on some embroidered shoes, there is a pinch of snow marks on the top of the shoes, which turned out to be bare feet.There was a sneering sneer on the corner of her red mouth, and she glanced coldly at the eunuch, and said coldly: "I don't need a maid here." "Princess," the eunuch said with a bow, "this court lady was originally a medical girl. The queen knew that she was proficient in medical skills, so she was specially assigned to the princess, just to care about her body." "Caring about this palace?" Princess Yunyang sneered, her voice was indescribably crisp and pleasant, but she said embarrassing words, "Is she sent to make eyeliner?" "Don't dare, old slave..." The eunuch didn't know how to deal with it. Long Baiyue bowed down to Princess Yunyang at the right time: "Long live the princess, the servant girl only entered the palace two days ago, there is something stupid and inappropriate, I hope the princess will forgive me." Princess Yunyang understood Long Baiyue's hint, looked her over carefully, and murmured: "The face is like a lotus, and the chest is like jade..." "Before the king was allowed to meet, Concubine Yang has already looked sideways..." She sneered, turned around and walked in, "Come in."
