Zheng Yuheng noticed the princess's gaze, put down his pen, stood up and saluted naturally, and said, "I am Zheng Yuheng from the Imperial Hospital."
　　Meng Zhaiyue looked at him carefully, her eyes were black and white, and extremely smart. Her sight circled around this handsome man twice, and then she looked up at her mother who was calm as usual. She felt a little awkward in her heart, pulled Dong Lingjiu's sleeve, and whispered, "Mother, who is he?"
　　Dong Lingjiu said, "Didn't I tell you?"
　　"I don't want to listen to him." Meng Zhaiyue raised her chin, revealing a little pride belonging to the princess, "I only listen to my mother."
　　Dong Lingjiu touched her hair and said gently, "That's the little doctor Zheng from the Imperial Hospital."
　　Meng Zhaiyue blinked and thought, the Imperial Hospital has always been ranked according to seniority. The older the doctor, the more skilled he is. What kind of ability can this little doctor Zheng have? He can actually accompany the Cining Palace and serve his mother? If she said that he had not benefited from this face, she would never believe it.
　　The princess looked at him again in confusion, her eyes almost saying "Where did this little vixen come from?" Even if the queen mother was in front of her, she didn't dare to say it. Zheng Yuheng still felt her face getting hot, but she couldn't refute it.
　　"Why do you care about him?" Dong Lingjiu tapped the back of the princess's hand, "Talk about your business." Meng Zhaiyue
　　turned her head, puffed her cheeks, and said aggrievedly: "I just believed my brother's words, thinking that this new number one scholar was really talented and handsome, but he was just like an ordinary man, greedy and lustful, and I don't want him."
　　Dong Lingjiu took the warm tea handed by Ruixue, lifted the lid, and slowly moistened his throat: "Children of the royal family, from birth, carry responsibilities and destinies. The court officials are closely watching the princess's virtues. If you divorce your son-in-law and your brother agrees, it will inevitably cause fierce criticism from the officials. . "
　　Meng Zhaiyue said angrily: "That's my business, what does it have to do with them? Why do you scold my brother for this?"
　　Dong Lingjiu said: "The late emperor liked to eat fish and meat. He once asked for it from the imperial kitchen in the forbidden area at night. After the news spread, the price of fish in the capital soared six times. The noble families rushed to imitate it, and the people's livelihood was greatly affected. The market suffered from the price of fish. Four years ago, a vassal state presented a bucket of pearls and gave it to the concubine at that time. She sewed a colorful feather dress with pearls and attended the palace banquet. In one day, the price of pearls reached an unattainable level. The women of the rich families were proud to own a pearl-colored dress, and luxury became a trend. "
　　The princess seemed to understand something. If a woman can divorce a man, all the officials in the court will be afraid to follow suit, so they tried their best to stop this matter.
　　"Then...then can't I divorce?" Meng Zhaiyue's voice gradually weakened.
　　"Does the prince consort agree to divorce?" Dong Lingjiu asked.
　　Meng Zhaiyue's face became even more bitter, and she murmured, "How could he agree? Since he has a concubine, I must also have a few male concubines and stay in the princess's mansion. My brother and I are both our mother's children. He has three thousand concubines in the harem, but I can only stay with my son-in-law. How is this fair?"
　　She thought that her mother would scold her after she said this, but Dong Lingjiu just looked at her quietly and said calmly, "Do you know what happened to the last person who said this?"
　　Meng Zhaiyue was not uneducated, so she naturally knew that the last Princess Shanyin, who kept more than thirty male concubines, was eventually sentenced to death at home by the empress dowager's order. She said dejectedly, "Mother, you won't treat Yingying badly."
　　Dong Lingjiu sighed and flicked her forehead with his hand, "You two really have opposite personalities."
　　Meng Cheng had three palaces and six courtyards, but he was unwilling to have intimate contact with other women without his first wife "Sister Wang". However, as an emperor, it was one of his duties to have children and spread the family, so he was often asked about family affairs, which annoyed him. Meng Zhaiyue was a princess and respected by her husband, but she was fickle. Even if there was no prince consort to keep a concubine, she would divorce in a year or two.
　　Meng Zhaiyue covered her forehead, rubbed it for a long time, and whispered: "My mother still keeps a handsome man by her side. I don't believe you can only look at him..."
　　When she said this, she felt her mother's gaze looming over her, so she immediately stopped talking and smiled sweetly: "Mother - with you here, as long as my brother puts a little pressure on me, the son-in-law will definitely be willing to let me divorce him. I will go to my brother now, and he must understand my difficulties."
　　After that, Meng Zhaiyue stood up. It happened that the eunuch of Guiyuan Palace came, and the eunuch asked the princess to go to Guiyuan Palace to reminisce about the past. The brother and sister seemed to have a telepathic connection.
　　The princess bid farewell to the queen mother and went to Guiyuan Palace. After Meng Zhaiyue left, Zheng Yuheng's heartstrings were slightly relaxed and he sat down again.
　　Ruixue was waiting beside Dong Lingjiu, listening to the princess' words. She lit the incense burner, glanced at Zheng Yuheng covertly, and whispered to the empress dowager: "Your Majesty, it may not be good for His Highness to see Imperial Physician Zheng."
　　The lingering scent of sandalwood wafted through the window in a gentle breeze and flowed into her arms.
　　"Well." Dong Lingjiu said, "But there is nothing wrong between me and Doctor Zheng."
　　Ruixue was silent for a moment, and said, "In my opinion, this innocence is only between the queen and Doctor Zheng. Others will not believe it, and they will just make up charges for nothing." Dong
　　Lingjiu smiled, and couldn't help looking in the direction of the little doctor, and said, "Don't you think that if he didn't have this innocence to support him, he would have been scared away by guilt and fear?"
　　Ruixue sighed and said, "Excessive character."
　　Dong Lingjiu said, "Some character is a good thing. There is a bottom line when encountering anything, and you can stand firm. You should take care of him." Ruixue
　　not only regarded the queen mother as a benefactor, but also respected her as a relative and elder after years of getting along. So if Zheng Yuheng could make the queen mother feel a little better and relax a little, she actually didn't care about the moral principles, innocence and decency. The
　　queen mother also had the ability to not care about these. No one dared to blame her, and no one thought she would make a mistake.
　　Almost everyone in the Cining Palace thought so. Being able to serve the Empress Dowager and make her happy was a blessing earned in several lifetimes. However, this little doctor Zheng always kept a good distance. When the Empress Dowager came a little closer, he would retreat. The
　　Empress Dowager was not in a hurry, but they were all very anxious.
　　Ruixue was not in a hurry to persuade her anymore. The two of them talked in a low voice so that only each other could hear them. She turned and said, "Your Highness the Princess..."
　　Dong Lingjiu said, "I remember that Ji Duzhi of the Princess's Mansion is your fellow countryman?"
　　The Duzhi eunuch of the Princess's Mansion is in charge of the affairs of the mansion. And this Ji Duzhi was sent out from the palace when Princess Zhaoyang got married. Before leaving the palace, he was Ruixue's lover.
　　When Ruixue heard this, her tone became much softer subconsciously: "Yes, it's all because of the face that the queen gave him."
　　"Let him take care of the affairs of the princess's mansion. If Yingying really picks up a concubine, find a few people with gentle temperaments and easy to control." Dong Lingjiu thought, "Don't let people with ulterior motives get close to the princess. As for the son-in-law... He keeps a concubine in Changping Street. No matter what means, get her background. If there is a slave, bribe her with gold and silver and let her sue the son-in-law."
　　With this handle in hand, he can't let go of the princess's skirt.
　　According to the law of the Great Yin Dynasty, a married man who keeps a slave concubine without informing his wife and obtaining her consent will be sentenced to one year in prison.
　　"Yes." Ruixue nodded and took note, and asked, "What if there is no slave?"
　　Dong Lingjiu tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said calmly: "There must be one."
　　Ruixue understood: "Yes, I will tell him."
　　After the two finished talking, Ruixue left the palace without any delay. She took off her waist badge, changed her palace clothes, and left the palace to do business under the closed palace gate.
　　After she left, the first-class maids in the palace looked at each other, hesitated, and did not dare to step forward immediately. Jiang Neiren, who was changing the hollow incense ball by the screen, didn't know which palace maid pushed her and handed her a cup of tea.
　　"Send it to the queen."
　　Jiang Neiren was at a loss holding the tea, looking towards the main hall, nervous and not knowing what to do, and said to the other party: "I can't do it. Where is Aunt Ruixue? Where is Aunt Yuewan? I am timid, I can't serve the queen well..."
　　The other party said: "Aunt Yuewan went to the Ye Ting Palace to pick a young palace maid, and Aunt Ruixue just left."
　　Jiang Neiren was about to refuse, but she saw that the first-class maids in the hall were staring at her, and she seemed to be in a dilemma. Fortunately, Zheng Yuheng, who was copying official documents in the corner, put down her pen. She seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and said to the familiar doctor Zheng: "Please help me deliver it. I dare not talk to the queen."
　　It was just a small favor, and Zheng Yuheng naturally agreed.
　　He put the official document on the desk and handed the teacup to the queen mother. At this time, Dong Lingjiu had already decided on the appointments of all vacancies. He moved his hand to pick up the teacup, but instead of grabbing the teacup, he touched another person's hand.
　　Ruixue always puts tea in the same place when serving tea. Zheng Yuheng didn't know this.
　　Dong Lingjiu touched his fingers, turned his head to look at him, and suddenly said: "Yuheng?"
　　"Hmm..." Zheng Yuheng was halfway through his answer when he woke up and found that the other party's unusual address was paused.
　　She stared at the other party's face with a surprised expression, black eyebrows and starry eyes, clear and elegant, so pure and innocent. For a moment, Dong Lingjiu, who had been in a high position for many years, had a thought that destroyed all the innocence and self-esteem in his heart under his extremely calm and gentle appearance.
　　Zheng Yuheng said silently: "I...I am terrified."
　　Dong Lingjiu asked: "Then what did your mother call you? Let me learn from you, Heng'er?"
　　Zheng Yuheng's face became very tangled. He was defeated. After thinking for a long time, he still said: "...I am even more terrified."
　　Dong Lingjiu couldn't help laughing. In the short words and actions, the idea of ​​cruel invasion was suppressed without a trace.
