"Master, Wang Xuanwen went to Ningshou Palace again." The maid placed a cup of tea in front of Li Mi.

Li Mi drank it slowly, but the thirst in her throat was not relieved. Although there was an ice basin in the room, the fire in her heart seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. It had been three months since she entered the palace, and she had not spoken to the Holy Spirit yet.

Even the palace servants around her became more and more slack, apparently thinking that there was no hope of following her as the master.

A few days ago, Li Mi saw the girl who was sweeping the courtyard whispering to Wang Jingyi's personal maid, and even gave her a silver ingot, intending to climb up another branch - and lo and behold, a mere maid stepped on her head!

Li Mi felt extremely aggrieved when she thought about it. She originally thought that she had space and would be invincible in the palace, but now she is watching others take the lead, and even the magic weapon she was proud of has become a decoration. Now she has just watched

She realized that she was too arrogant and that multiple spaces were no big deal. It could neither attract the emperor's favor nor help her gain a foothold in the palace.

Although the products of space are abundant, there are many good cooks in the palace, and there are tributes from governors from various places. Her vegetables and fruits are just fresh. Even if she has good cooking skills, what can she do?

As the saying goes, to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach, but the emperor didn't seem to think so. On the day Xia Tong moved to the palace, Li Mi specially sent many homemade snacks, just to let the emperor taste her

Good craftsmanship, but according to the reaction, the emperor did not like it very much - of course, it cannot be ruled out that Xia Tong had some tricks in it. She had many tricks up her sleeve, and she might not really help him.

Li Mi had no other connections in this palace, and as a result, the Roufu Palace was now so sparse that she could not even choose an attendant. If this spread back home, her stepmother and her two daughters would laugh to death, right?

The maid had followed her since she entered the palace, and because she had received many benefits, she was quite loyal to her. Seeing that Li Mi was helpless, the maid advised, "Why don't you follow the example of the king's maid and ask for the Queen Mother's mercy?"

This is also a so-so shortcut. Although it has many advantages over not being favored by the king, it is still better than being bored in the room all day long.

Li Mi sighed: "How can I do that?"

I don’t know how Wang Jingyi managed to coax the Empress Dowager Jiang. I heard it was massage - but Li Mi had never learned it at home, how could she compare to others? She was asked to ask her stepmother for help, but she absolutely refused. That person Li Mi wanted to eat

Its flesh rests on its skin,

My stepmother probably treated her the same way.

Now Xia Tong has gained the emperor's special favor, and Wang Jingyi has fawned over the Queen Mother. Among the people who entered the palace together, she is the only one who has been miserable, and Li Mi is unwilling to accept it.

After much deliberation, she decided to flatter Concubine Jiang. Although there was Feng Yuzhen beside Jiang Bilan, it was just an embroidered pillow. Li Mi didn't believe that Concubine Jiang really liked her - besides, women would only be more hostile to beautiful people of the same sex. Feng Yuzhen's

Although appearance is an advantage, I am afraid that Jiang Bilan must always be on the lookout for her to bite her back.

Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Li Mi went to Linzhi Palace with a carefully cultivated peony in her hands. It was a heterogeneous species she cultivated through space. It was completely green and very rare. What's more, the peony blooming season has passed now.

, it becomes even more precious.

Jiang Bilan was really surprised, "I've never seen anything like this."

Li Mi smiled and said, "My father is from Luoyang, and he has been good at planting peonies since he was a child. I heard that my queen's birthday was approaching, so I asked for this pot of green fragrant balls from home to celebrate her birthday."

She thought she had made it obvious enough, but Jiang Bilan took a look and said calmly: "I appreciate your kindness, but a gentleman does not take what others like, so you should keep such a precious thing for yourself.

"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the palace.

Li Mi was puzzled.

Jiang Yingyue touched the green petals with her onion tube-like fingernails and said softly: "Sister loves red and purple, but she doesn't like the color of peonies. Although you are thoughtful, you are using it in the wrong direction."

Li Mi had also heard the saying that green was a base color. It seemed that it violated Concubine Jiang's taboo, so she hurriedly said: "Then I'll bring you another one with a bright color."

Anyway, the soil in her space is fertile, and all kinds of weird varieties can be grown.

Jiang Yingyue looked at her with a smile, "So convenient? It seems you are quite capable."

Li Mi regretted that she answered too quickly and hurriedly lowered her head.

Jiang Yingyue did not expose her, but kindly reminded her, "No matter how many pots I give, it's the same. Although this flower blooms beautifully, no one cares about it. Do you think my sister will really appreciate it?"

Li Mi couldn't help but be silent when she thought of Jiang Bilan's small belly and chicken intestines - it seemed that she felt that she was mocking her.

This was good, but instead of being flattered, it turned into offending, and Li Mi couldn't help but feel depressed.

Jiang Yingyue tapped her shoulder with her fingertips and said with a smile: "But I like it. If you are free one day, please send a few more to my Xiang Hall."

Li Mi was overjoyed and hurriedly leaned down and bowed solemnly three times, "Thank you, Empress Zhaoyi."

Although I feel a little strange in my heart, why did Jiang Yingyue choose her? But it is better than having no one to support her. Although Jiang Yingyue is not as powerful as the Queen Mother and the noble concubine, she is still the daughter of the Jiang family and the first palace Zhaoyi.

If you win her favor, it will be of some benefit.

Jiang Yingyue drank tea leisurely, lowering her eyes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.

The emperor kept his word, and the next day an imperial doctor came to Guanju Palace to report his family status.

Xia Tong was really shocked when she saw him. It wasn't that he was ugly, on the contrary, he was too good-looking. Unlike the emperor's masculine beauty, this one was extremely feminine. Xia Tong dared to say

, if he puts on women's clothes, he won't be much worse than Feng Yuzhen.

The little imperial doctor was so worried by her gaze that he had to bow and salute, "The pearl of the Gu family, please see Xia Meiren."

The voice is also soft and waxy, far from the loud voice inherent to men.

Xia Tong liked him immediately and asked people to take him to a seat. He also asked Chang Qing to pour tea.

After the two sat down, Xia Tong asked curiously: "Is Mingzhu your real name?"

The young imperial doctor sipped the tea and nodded obediently - he was ten times more delicate than the girl's family.

Although it was a bit strange for the man to be called by this name, Xia Tong was relieved when she thought of a Nalan Pearl in history. She stopped talking nonsense and said, "You must already know the reason why His Majesty invited you here."

Gu Mingzhu nodded, "Come and ask for peace of mind for the master."

As he said that, he stretched out two fingers from his sleeves and placed them on Xia Tong's veins.

Xia Tong exclaimed: "Why don't you put a piece of silk on it first?"

I thought the protection between men and women in the palace was very strict.

Gu Mingzhu's fair face turned slightly red, and she quickly stood up to accuse her, "I was negligent. Master, don't be offended."

Seemingly a novice, Xia Tong sighed and asked someone to get a piece of clean silk, "No problem, let's continue diagnosing the pulse."

I hope her medical skills won't disappoint her.

Gu Mingzhu's face gradually became serious, her pupils condensed, causing Xia Tong to look at her with worry in her heart, "How?"

Could it be that it was a serious illness, so she wouldn't be so unlucky? She didn't want to die young without having tasted all the delicacies she wanted to taste in her life!

Gu Mingzhu cleaned her hands, leaned over and gave another salute, and then said: "Congratulations, beauty, your pulse is fluent, like a moving bead, which is like a slippery pulse."

Did you say that you were really happy? Xia Tong was startled, then he grinned and smiled uncontrollably—unexpectedly, Feng Yuzhen accidentally hit the mark. Sure enough, poisonous milk was the truth.

Chunlan and Qiuju also looked happy. They had a little master so quickly. It was obvious that Beauty Xia was born with great luck, and no one else could catch up with her.

Aunt Ping was more attentive, "How many months do you know?"

Gu Mingzhu said calmly: "It's less than a month, so based on Wei Chen's medical skills, I can only make an estimate of 70-80% accurate."

In order to be on the safe side, the doctors at the Tai Hospital never refused to say anything. He said it was seven or eight points, but in fact it was only nine or ten points.

Aunt Ping was relieved and said, "Thank you for your help."

Xia Tong counted on her fingers. It was about three or four days before her next Kwai Shui. If she really didn't come by then, she would ask Gu Mingzhu to take a test again, and she would probably confirm her pregnancy.

Although it was earlier than expected, Xia Tong himself was very happy. The huge Guanju Palace was deserted, and although the emperor often came there, it was only used as a resting hotel. It would be better to keep a small dumpling, so the days would be more lively.

What's more, this is her first child, so she must take good care of it. Xia Tong said: "Doctor Gu, please don't tell anyone except Your Majesty that I am pregnant."

At least, you have to go through the first three months before you can be insured.

Gu Mingzhu felt a little uneasy, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with this..."

The pulse requests for all the masters must be kept on file in Taiyuan Hospital. It is not easy for Gu Mingzhu to hide it from the two adults, the hospital judge and the deputy judge. What if the superiors pursue it?

Xia Tong said resolutely: "I will go to your Majesty and tell him. You just need to do what I want."

After that, Chang Qing asked Chang Qing to fetch one ingot and two ounces of grain silver as today's consultation fee.

Gu Mingzhu took the silver, but when she saw the unspectacular man she said, "Sir, if you can't keep Master Xia's secret, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your own secret either."

Gu Mingzhu was shocked and couldn't help but look at the man twice - of course he didn't recognize him.

But the tone was unquestionable.

Gu Mingzhu did not dare to test what the other party had found. She only bowed deeply to Xia Tong and left in dejection, carrying the medicine box.

Xia Tong was having a lively conversation with Chunlan Qiuju. They had seen too many lifeless chamberlains in the palace, and it was rare to see a handsome imperial doctor. The girls were inevitably a little elated.

Although Xia Tong didn't fall in love at first sight, everyone loves beauty, and who doesn't like to look at beautiful and handsome men? If Feng Yuzhen didn't become a monster, she would also like to look at her every day.

Chunlan Qiuju's cheeks were also red, and she was shy and angry. While saying "see no evil, don't speak evil", she couldn't help but raise her feet and look at Gu Mingzhu before he had gone far. His back was like a woman's, and her every move was indistinguishable.

Very pretty.

Only Chang Qing's face was still like a glass mirror, showing no emotion at all.

Is this person made by a machine? Since he entered Guanju Palace, Xia Tong has never seen him express any extra affection for anyone. He even turned a blind eye to those pretty palace maids who often winked at him - could it be

Because of the lack of hormone levels, he is not attracted to the opposite sex at all?

What about the same sex? Xia Tong couldn't help teasing him, "Chang Qing, what do you think of Dr. Gu?"

"It's beautiful." Chang Qing said calmly.

This evaluation is quite high for someone with facial paralysis like him. Xia Tong continued to joke, "Gu Mingzhu is as good-looking as a good girl, and she is no less impressive than the queens in the palace. What do you think?"

"She is not a good-looking girl, she is a woman." Chang Qing said lightly, and then went to the courtyard to continue working.

Xia Tong:……
