Chapter 172 The trip to the palace
A few days had passed since Ye Lingyue was made the princess, but after the Zhongyuan Palace banquet, the Queen Mother did not summon Ye Lingyue again.
After all, in Xiadu, there were hundreds to hundreds of princesses with various titles, and there were only a handful of them that the Empress Dowager could remember.
This time, the reason why the Queen Mother summoned Ye Lingyue was because the Queen Mother accidentally fell down and was not feeling well. The doctors in the palace came to see her but were unable to do anything. Even after taking some pills, they did not feel better.
.
At this time, an old female official next to her thought of Princess Ye. After all, Princess Ye's massage skills were appreciated by the Queen Mother.
This time, only Ye Lingyue was summoned. After entering the palace, she was brought to the Queen Mother.
There was a light scent of incense burning in the Queen Mother's Palace of Hundred Phoenixes. When Ye Lingyue came in, the Queen Mother was taking a nap. After casually chatting with the female officer for a few words, she started wandering around the Palace of Hundred Phoenixes.
I happened to see a palace maid building some peonies. In Baifeng Palace, peonies were planted the most.
"Sister, you made the wrong pruning. You should have pruned those dead branches." Since Ye Lingyue had Hongmeng Tianhou, she has picked and planted more kinds of spiritual grasses and fruits, and her knowledge of flowers has also improved a lot.
She stepped forward and helped cut off a few extra branches.
"I don't see that Princess Ye has some research on gardening." The Queen Mother walked over with the support of several palace maids. Compared with the time before Zhongyuan a few days ago, the Queen Mother looked a little haggard.
Ye Lingyue heard that the Queen Mother fell badly this time, but no one mentioned how she fell.
"See, Queen Mother, I don't know anything about gardening. I just like to play with flowers and plants at home." Ye Lingyue said with a smile.
The Queen Mother has such a sharp eye. She is the best at peonies. She raised all the peonies in the Baifeng Palace with her own hands. Ye Lingyue just looked at a few random scissors, but the ones she cut were all diseased ones. It is harmful to the peonies.
There are great benefits to growing.
"I happen to have a good peony here. Unfortunately, it has not been cultivated. Look, there is still a chance to support it." The Queen Mother walked aside with Ye Lingyue.
In the corner of the garden, there is indeed a peony. It is the most precious peony in the entire Bai Feng Garden. Unfortunately, it was attacked by unknown insects and the leaves have almost fallen off. I don’t know why. The Queen Mother
I have always been reluctant to throw it away.
Ye Lingyue stepped forward and touched the camellia with her hand. The breath penetrated into the peony plant and found that there were many tiny insect eggs inside the peony flower.
These small insect eggs are the main culprit that causes peonies to wither. However, as long as the insect eggs are swallowed up with the breath of the cauldron, placed in the Hongmeng sky, and nourished with spiritual energy for a period of time, I believe that this peony will definitely wither and rejuvenate.
Seeing that Ye Lingyue remained silent for a long time after checking, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask.
"Can this peony be saved?"
"It can be saved. If the Queen Mother can trust me and leave it to me to raise for a while, within a month, I will return a living peony to the Queen Mother." Ye Lingyue said with confidence.
"The Queen Mother, those peonies were given by the Sixth Prince. I'm afraid it wouldn't be good if they were given to outsiders," the maid next to the Queen Mother said in a low voice.
Sixth Prince
Ye Lingyue remembered that the current crown prince was the fourth prince, and the sixth prince should be the one born from the queen.
This sixth prince was the one Mrs. Lan wanted Ye Lingyue to help treat earlier.
The Xia Emperor had many concubines, as well as more than ten princes and princesses, but in terms of talent, the sixth prince was the smartest, and he was also the most favored by the Queen Mother and the Xia Emperor.
It is said that when he was very young, he was tested to be able to cultivate spiritual power. He could recite the Great Xia Zhi at the age of three and recite poems and compose poems at the age of four. Everyone believed that the sixth prince would inherit the orthodoxy.
It was a pity that when the sixth prince was five years old, his temperament suddenly changed and he became extremely withdrawn. He locked himself in the room and refused to see anyone. He also smashed everything in the room.
Even the queen couldn't get close to him.
Some people said earlier that the Sixth Prince was bewitched by witchcraft, while others said that the Sixth Prince mistakenly took the elixir after falling ill.
But no matter which theory is used, the Sixth Prince's "illness" has never improved.
It was also because of the sudden change of the Sixth Prince that the Queen and Emperor Xia were at odds.
In a blink of an eye, several years passed, and the Sixth Prince became a taboo in the palace. Except for a few people, including the Queen and the Queen Mother, no one could approach the Sixth Prince.
This time, the Queen Mother's fall was also related to the Sixth Prince.
When the Sixth Prince was mentioned, the Empress Dowager's face became more sad, and she sighed.
She looked at the peony that had lost its luster.
"It won't leave the palace. It will stay like this all its life. Just give it one last chance. If it can't be cured again, just abandon it."
Ye Lingyue heard the hidden meaning in the Queen Mother's words and was slightly shocked.
It was said that the Tian family had no relatives, but from the words of the old queen mother, she heard distress and regret. This was not just an ordinary peony, in the queen mother's mind, it was the sixth prince.
"Ling Yue will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's trust. I think the Queen Mother is not in good health, so why don't Ling Yue give you a massage." Ye Lingyue put away the peonies and began to treat the Queen Mother.
She first used Cauldron Breath to check the Queen Mother.
It was discovered that the Queen Mother had a small patch of blood on her waist due to a fall.
Because the location of this congestion is very special, the imperial doctors did not notice it earlier. Even if someone found it, they did not dare to take the needle easily. However, Ye Lingyue's Cauldron Breath was different.
In just a few breaths, the small piece of congestion was swallowed up by the breath.
"Little girl, you really have some skills. The old doctors in the palace have tried all kinds of methods, including acupuncture and cupping, but they all don't work. But with a push of your skillful hands, Aijia feels smooth all over." The Queen Mother relaxed.
After loosening the muscles and bones, I found that my body suddenly became much more flexible.
Earlier, she canonized Ye Lingyue partly because of Lan Yingwu's relationship. But after chatting with Ye Lingyue for a few words today, she found that she and this little girl were very close to each other.
Unknowingly, they talked about it in the evening, and the Queen Mother stayed with her for a meal before letting her go.
"It has been many years since the Ai family has had such fun chatting with anyone. You are a young girl, but you have a lot of experience. Here is a token. Take it with you, and you will be able to enter and leave the palace freely in the future." The Queen Mother.
After chatting all afternoon, I felt a little tired, so I ordered the palace maid to send Ye Lingyue out of the palace.
"Going further, you will reach the palace gate. The Queen Mother is waiting for the servant to reply, so she will not send Princess Ye off." The maid sent Ye Lingyue to the entrance of Baifeng Palace and pointed to a building not far ahead.
palace gate.
Ye Lingyue nodded, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the palace maid's face, and there was something wrong with her expression.
Ye Lingyue frowned and recalled in her mind that if she remembered correctly, this palace maid followed Luo Guifei at the Zhongyuan Palace banquet.
