Chapter 47: Magic Doctor's Turn
The world still continues the law of male superiority and female inferiority, but many Jianghu people have no children and have no other way to teach their daughters martial arts. In this way, there are many more female heroes in the world, and even many sects are also women's heads, which is really 'women don't give up'.
Because this situation has lasted for many years, it has gradually improved the status of women in the world, and monogamy is also being implemented in the world. Just like Ximen Dongliu and Lin Ruosu, if a man really loves his wife, he will naturally not go out to fool around. However, like Bingying, it is indeed a special case for women to work in the court.
There are female officials in the court, but they are all responsible for the diet and living of the prince and princess, or ** palace eunuchs who do not participate in the government. However, there is an exception for this dynasty, which is the emperor's favorite concubine Ning today.
Concubine Ning was originally from a civilian background. The emperor once toured the capital and inadvertently glanced at it. After that, he secretly ordered someone to take her back to the palace for favor. However, Concubine Ning unexpectedly refused the emperor's canonization, saying that there was no one in her mother's family, and it was easy to be jealous and poisoned when she entered the palace. At that time, the emperor obeyed her, so he appointed her as a former female official of the second-grade imperial court and was responsible for taking care of his daily affairs. Later, concubine Ning came forward to the memorial and review, the minister's visit and other matters.
Of course, now Concubine Ning is no longer a former lady. She has been canonized as an imperial concubine for a long time, and now she is the head of the six palaces. As for why he was not canonized as a queen, it was because the emperor still had an old affection for the queen. In addition, the son of the queen, the original prince, unfortunately died when he was born. The emperor felt sorry for the queen and allowed her to build a Buddhist hall in the palace. After the death of the prince, the queen devoted himself to the Buddha. Regardless of the affairs of the six palaces, the actual power of the six palaces fell into the hands of Ningfei.
"It turns out that women in the world have long been able to be alone, and there is such a precedent in the court. No wonder these dignitaries will condescend to condescend to congratulate me." Bingying listened to Ye Bing's introduction, which solved the doubts in her heart.
However, she intuitively thought that the concubine Ning was not simple. Although she was a civilian, she actually understood the disadvantages of entering the palace as a concubine without anyone in her mother's family, which could not be seen by ordinary civilian women. It seems that after becoming a female official, Concubine Ning must have cultivated a lot of confidants, and later she was awarded the title of imperial concubine and took charge of the six palaces.
"Yes, so the eldest lady doesn't have to worry that the minister of the court will oppose this matter, but the eldest lady has to guard against Concubine Ning." Ye Bing reminded him about what the owner had ordered before leaving.
"She is the head of the harem. What does it have to do with me?" Bingying noticed that Ye Bing had something to say to her, so she followed his words and asked.
Ye Bing paused and said, "Miss doesn't know anything. In fact, Feng Hanlong is the little prince that the world thought had died. However, the queen and the prince were actually killed by Concubine Ning. Fortunately, Prince Feng loyally saved the prince. Originally, she wanted to prove the identity of the prince after finding evidence. Unexpectedly, Princess Ning knew the truth of that year first, so she sent people to kill her. Only the prince and his two subordinates escaped. Those two subordinates are Wei Yan and Liu Yuanchen, and the young lady knows everything after that. Now that the prince is protected by Dongliu Villa, Concubine Ning is bound to be angry with the eldest lady, so the eldest lady must be careful.
Bingying raised her eyebrows, and that boy really wanted to be the emperor! No wonder he was so arrogant at a young age, as if the whole world was subject to his feet. Looking at his parents' attitude towards him now, she understood that he had begun to prepare to fight back and take back what belonged to him.
"So what the eldest lady said to the prince before..." Ye Bing hesitated for a moment and still said, "I hurt the prince's face, I'm afraid the prince will remember it." His Royal Highness is naturally arrogant and domineering. How can she compare a beggar with him? So he was really worried that His Royal Highness would embarrass her in the future.
Bingying snorted and said dissatisfiedly, "So you mean I should agree to his request and make a marriage contract with him? Even if he is the emperor, can he rob the people's women? Even if he can rob a people's daughter, I'm not an ordinary people's woman. If he confronts me, he will definitely look good!"
"What my subordinates mean is that the young lady can be more euphemistic and don't have to provoke him." Ye Bing sighed slightly that the young lady had a strong personality, and she was afraid that she would suffer in the future. However, just now in the hall, the young lady's calmness surprised him a little and made him appreciate it even more.
Bingying knew that he was also thinking of her, so she said what she thought in her heart: "I have long seen his ambition, and I also know that with the help of Dongliu Villa, it is not difficult for him to sit on the throne of the emperor in the future. However, I am the most soft and not hard in my life. The more he forces me, the more disgust I am with him.
Speaking of this, she was also a little ashamed of her introversion and stopped before continuing: "Every time I meet him, I can't help but confront him. But I will listen to your advice and restrain myself in front of him in the future. It's just that he wants me to marry him, and I will never agree. In the future, he will have groups of wives and concubines, and three thousand beauties are waiting for him to be spoiled. I ask myself that I can't wait for his arrival in a small garden.
"If I want to live such a life, I would rather die again!" Bingying stood up and firmly stated her position.
If crossing is to suffer more, why do you need to travel? Bingying thought to herself that since God has given her a chance to live again, she will not ruin this life again, do what she wants to do, and no longer always live in the shadow of the tragic death of her relatives as before.
Ye Bing looked at her and said nothing. Although the ideal is good, it is not easy to realize. I'm afraid that there are some things... can't be her. He has understood that power and wealth are greater than everything since he was a child. If people don't have these auras, they will be nothing, and they will become 'belows'.
At this time, Leng Rong came in, followed by Xiaoxing Xiaoren. Xiaoxing Xiaoren held a tray in his hand, which seemed to be something to eat.
Leng Rong took the bowl in the tray in Xiao Xing's hand and handed it to Bingying.
"What is this?" Bingying naturally believed that he would not hurt her, so she took it and asked casually.
Xiao Xing quickly answered instead of Leng Rong: "Miss, this is the liquor soup specially prepared by Leng Shen Doctor for the young lady. After drinking it, the wine effect in her body will be dispersed, so that the young lady will not have a headache when she wakes up tomorrow."
So that's it, but he is careful. Bingying stopped asking anything and slowly drank all the wine soup in the bowl. After she returned the empty bowl to Xiao Xing, she saw Leng Rong put another bowl on the table in front of her, and she fixed her eyes: it was a bowl of porridge.
"The young lady was drinking all night and didn't eat anything. The cold doctor personally cooked a pot of porridge and added some tonic herbs to it, which was delicious." Xiaoren explained with a smile that she was moved by the cold magic doctor. In her opinion, if you get married, you have to know that it's good for you, even if you don't talk much. Dr. Leng is so considerate. No wonder that she has a preference for Dr. Leng and wants to marry Dr. Leng.
"Oh, thank you very much." Bingying also knew that thanking was superfluous. Anyway, Leng Rong would not listen to it, so she said casually and buried her head in porridge and began to eat porridge. She is indeed a little hungry, and drinking on an empty stomach really hurts her body. Therefore, it is also a happy thing to have someone around to take care of it.
"You're welcome."
Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder, and the three people present were stunned, and their minds were blank. Did you hear it right? The sound just now...
"Puff..." Bing Ying sprayed out the white porridge that had not had time to swallow, and then coughed. A pair of unbelievable beautiful eyes stared at the cold face, as if to make sure whether it was the mute man in front of him.
While Ye Bing secretly replaced Bingying with palm wind, he also looked at the cold face with some surprise. This cold face is at most a few words 'um' in front of the landlord, never saying a word, but now... it is really strange to say such ordinary three words as 'you're welcome'.
"I'm not a mute, and it's not strange to speak." Leng Rong sat down beside Bingying, stuffed a pill into her mouth, then poured her a glass of water, and then looked at her and asked, "Is it better?"
Bingying was really scared. She couldn't help standing up, stepped back three steps, and whispered to Ye Bing, "Go and check if he is changed. He is not the coldness of the magic doctor, is he?" Then she frowned, put her hand on her neck and said, "He won't give me any poison?"
"Miss, aren't you afraid of poison?" Ye Bing reminded. Although he is also surprised by the change of Leng Rong, he can also be sure that the person in front of him is indeed the poison doctor Leng Rong.
"I forgot..." Bing Ying put down her hand and looked at Leng Rong puzzled. He doesn't seem to have changed along the way, but now he has suddenly changed. What's going on?
Leng Rong slowly took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Bingying, and said, "Everything is caused by this letter. I have never been threatened in my life, but he is a little bold." Originally, he had no interest in these men's competition for Ximen Bingying and had been watching coldly, but someone had violated his taboo and dared to threaten him! Although he can't do anything to the man for Mr. Dongliu's sake, he will go against the man's wishes and see what the man can do with him.
Bingying quickly read the content of the letter and patted the table angrily: "This phoenix cold dragon is really outrageous! What qualifications does he have to ask me? What right does he have to order you not to approach me? She turned around and looked at Ye Bing and stretched out her hand: "He must have threatened you by handing over your letter, right?"
Ye Bing hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a threatening letter without her relent. He really wanted to defend the prince. This matter really didn't seem to be done by the prince, but by the prodigal Liu Yuanchen. However, since Lengrong has this attitude, and the young lady is so angry, she must not have listened to any explanation from him.
After all, he doesn't have any evidence that His Royal Highness did it, does he?
