Chapter 1073 You Are Worried
"Silly!" Shi Anxia smiled when she heard that. She took Bei Hui's hand and put a warm jade token into her palm. "Take this token and you can come to the palace to talk to me anytime. It's not like I won't see you. What do you mean I don't recognize you?"
Bei Hui was embarrassed. She was always smart and steady outside, but only in front of Shi Anxia did she dare to talk nonsense and act like a spoiled child.
Zhuo Qiran quickly agreed, "Madam, when you have recovered from the first three months, as long as you want to enter the palace, I will send you here in the morning to chat with the Empress, and pick you up in the evening. It won't delay anything, so why are you not happy?"
Bei Hui's age was too late for her to have a child, so it was no wonder Zhuo Qi Ran was so worried. Zhuo Qi Ran was really scared when the eldest princess gave birth.
The princess was so young back then, and she was still struggling to death. Now Bei Hui... He didn't dare to think about it, and felt that he had to prepare from now on, and not panic when the time comes.
He asked Cen Yuan, "Your Majesty, I have to bring Madam Meng here as soon as possible. Should we also invite Envoy Shen and Madam Anguo to come over and take charge?"
Cen Yuan laughed in silence, "I understand that you want to bring Madam Meng to serve you in the palace, but forget about the other two. Besides, don't we have anyone in the Xiliang Imperial Hospital? Imperial Doctor Zheng is an expert in gynecology, and Imperial Doctor Fang also wrote "Yu Hu Ji Yin Lu", both of them are experts in this field."
Zhuo Qiran was silent for a moment, and did not respond to Cen Yuan's words. Instead, he turned to Bei Hui for advice, "If it really doesn't work... let's go back to Beiyi and come to Liangguo after giving birth?"
He felt that Yu Di was good at big things, but was incompetent when it came to small matters in the harem and it was impossible to communicate with him.
But then An Xia understood Zhuo Qiran's worries.
In the territory of Liang, asking a stranger for medical treatment ultimately means two options: either you are rich and powerful, or you have a deep friendship. But they are from Beiyi after all, and have no roots in Liang. They are neither royal nobles nor have deep friendships. How can they easily invite the experts of the Imperial Hospital?
Even if the emperor spoke, the imperial doctors would come as ordered, but would they really be willing to do their best? After all, a doctor's thoughts could determine life and death. If they were perfunctory and gave only mild prescriptions, they would appear respectful but actually be neglectful.
If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret.
Shi Anxia said, "Alright. You can go back to live in Tiema City. It's only across a river, so you can come anytime. When I have time, I'll go over to see you. They're all our own people over there, so it'll be easier for us to do things there."
You know, when she gave birth that year, Zhuo Qiran, Shen Siyuan, and Liang Yanbing formed an iron triangle, gathering together every day to discuss her body. Sometimes in the middle of the night, you could hear them whispering about the prescription next door.
With such kindness, even if you go knocking on someone's door in the middle of the night to ask for medical treatment, you won't have to worry about disturbing that person's sweet sleep.
Bei Hui listened quietly to everyone's discussion. Although she was reluctant to leave Shi Anxia, she also understood the importance of the matter.
Everyone was planning for her like this, especially Zhuo Qiran who was thoughtful in everything. If she insisted on refusing, it would be bad. "Okay, then let's go back to Tiema City."
However, Bei Hui was somewhat worried. If she left, would there not be enough people to serve the Empress? Would she not be familiar with the affairs of the household?
She didn't worry about how hot the tea should be in the morning, the appropriate viscosity of the ink in the inkstone, or how many fingers wide the gap should be left on the window lattice before going to bed at night... She trained the palace servants in these trivial rules very well.
However, in addition to this, she is in charge of the account books of all of the Queen's properties in Beiyi Xiliang over the years.
Nan Yan married Song Shenzhi a few years ago, and after returning to Beiyi to give birth to a child, she was so busy at home that she has not been able to come back to work until now.
Even if she came back, Nan Yan wouldn't be able to take over.
In addition, Dong Xi also got married, and the marriage was kept extremely secret.
That man was the leader of the shadow guards beside the Feather Emperor. He had been hiding in the dark for many years and even his real name was rarely known.
The shadow guards could not have any weaknesses, so there wasn't even a bridal sedan for this wedding. The ceremony was completed by just kowtowed three times to the Big Dipper in the dead of night.
It just so happened that the legitimate son of a veteran minister who had served for three dynasties, who was in his early forties and had just lost his second wife, actually set his sights on Dong Xi.
The man spoke to his colleagues with great confidence, "This official is just being considerate of the people around the Queen. It is a great fortune for a maidservant to be able to enter the residence of a fifth-rank official and become the principal wife."
But the Queen Mother rejected her and said that Dong Xi would not marry.
The next day, the fifth-rank official was dismissed from his post for corruption and sentenced to eight years in prison. The evidence presented by the Ministry of Justice was clear and detailed, all of which were secretly collected by Dong Xi's shadowy husband.
Although Dong Xi is smart, he is very lacking in the ways of the world and various accounts, and is unable to handle the chores in Bei Hui's hands.
Bei Hui pursed her lips and expressed her worries.
Shi Anxia smiled and said, "You are destined to worry. Have you forgotten that the accounts that pass through your hands will eventually be passed to my mother. As long as she gives Sister Hongque a few more pointers, everything will go smoothly."
Bei Huifang thought of the two princesses from the Vina tribe, who were indeed serving in the palace now, "But..."
But these two people are not stable either! Bei Hui can't help but worry.
Hong Que is already over 27 years old, and Tang Xinghe is over 30... And Qiu Zhiyan has been trying to marry Hong Que's sister, Princess Mu Sang, through countless messages and matchmakers over the years.
Princess Mu Sang clearly has feelings for Mr. Qiu, but she just won't let go. Now the two couples are still in a stalemate.
Bei Hui forgot about Hong Que, not because she didn't care about this person, but because of Hong Que's status, and in recent years, Hong Que has worked hard to study and has been less involved in the palace affairs.
They talked for a long time. For several days in a row, Bei Hui went to the palace early in the morning to take over the affairs at hand, and was very busy.
Shi Anxia said "no rush", but Bei Hui was the kind of person who couldn't rest properly until she finished her work, and it was impossible to stop her.
For this reason, she quickly sent people to Tiema City to pick up Madam Meng and come to guard her just in case.
Madam Meng smiled, "Master Zhuo is very capable himself. I am just showing off my skills in front of him."
Shi Anxia said, "Master Zhuo is not good at managing women. No one can compare to you, Madam Meng, in this regard."
Madam Meng blushed, feeling ashamed, "Back then, I couldn't even take a pulse correctly, alas..."
"I am an exception. Madam Meng, don't take it to heart. Believe in yourself. You are a national expert in gynecology."
These words made Lady Meng so proud that she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and her eyes were not. "Your Majesty, I am so grateful for your kindness."
Her life has been different since she met Princess Haiyan.
Not only did her family become increasingly wealthy, her lame son Chang Gui was able to walk like a normal person, and he even got a job as a tailor in the eldest princess's clothing shop.
Chang Gui had good skills and worked meticulously, so the dignitaries in the capital all asked him to make clothes for them.
Even more gratifying is that, "My daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat grandson for me last year!"
Shi Anxia was happy for her, "Sister Gui is a blessed woman, she is a good person with a kind heart, and God should bless her."
