After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

An inkstone fell down.

"I dare not. I just want to show my filial piety."

Xiao Minshen knelt down there motionless, and the inkstone was thrown sideways and fell onto the carpet beside him.

The emperor was so angry that he glared at Xiao Minshen, but Xiao Minshen looked at the emperor and refused to give in.

At this time, Doctor Li also knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please let this old minister diagnose your pulse."

Imperial Doctor Li treated the royal family when the retired emperor was alive.

The emperor saw him kneeling down as well, "You old man, do you support this rebellious son?"

Doctor Li bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, the King of Qi is very filial, Your Majesty should be happy."

Seeing this, the emperor waved his hand.

Doctor Li stood up and skillfully took out the medicine pillow, and the emperor put his hand on it.

Doctor Li bent over and carefully felt the emperor's pulse.

The emperor's face looked swollen, but his pulse was strong and powerful, not like that of a man in his fifties.

He couldn't help but frown.

The emperor took a look and suddenly withdrew his hand. "Why, it's not good?"

Doctor Li bowed to the emperor and asked, "Did Your Majesty take any heart-strengthening pills?"

"I haven't taken any medicine recently. I've only taken the elixir of immortality given to me by the Immortal."

"The emperor's pulse is strong, but the follow-up is insufficient..." Doctor Li stated the truth.

"Isn't this good? It seems that the immortal elixir is effective." The emperor was very happy.

He stood up and prepared to continue practicing Zen with the immortal.

"Father, I have a request." Xiao Minshen knelt down and stopped him.

The emperor looked at him angrily and said impatiently, "Speak!"

"I request that Father allow Imperial Doctor Li to resume checking my pulse every month."

"Okay, okay, okay." The emperor said perfunctorily and left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Xiao Minshen then stood up and bowed to Doctor Li.

"What did the imperial physician not finish saying just now?"

Doctor Li was thinking with a confused look on his face, "I just feel that the emperor's pulse is a little bit wrong, but I haven't figured it out yet."

The emperor withdrew his hand before he had a clear diagnosis.

"What's wrong?"

"Everything is too late. The emperor's pulse feels too strong when I feel it."

Xiao Minshen also knew that the pulse diagnosis time was too short and Doctor Li could not make a judgment.

"Please ask Doctor Li to take father's pulse on time." Xiao Minshen bowed to him.

"That is the duty of this old minister." Doctor Li returned the greeting.

Xiao Minshen walked to the palace gate, and Fulu came forward and told him that Concubine Liu was waiting for him to return to the palace together.

Xiao Minshen frowned and sent Doctor Li to the carriage back home.

Only then did he turn around and get on the carriage of Prince Qi's palace.

Concubine Liu, who had been waiting in the carriage for a long time, saw Xiao Minshen coming up and hurriedly stood up to salute.

"Your servant greets the King of Qi." She said tenderly.

Xiao Minshen didn't raise his eyebrows and looked out the window, "Go back home."

The carriage started moving, and Concubine Liu did not react in time and fell down beside Xiao Minshen's legs.

"Oh, Your Majesty." Liu Shishi hugged his legs.

Xiao Minshen looked at Mingyue who was standing beside him with a cold look, "Your master has fallen down, why don't you help him up quickly?"

Mingyue hurriedly went up and helped Concubine Liu up.

Concubine Liu bit her lip and sat opposite Xiao Minshen unwillingly.

Xiao Minshen closed his eyes and recalled what had just happened.

Concubine Liu looked at Xiao Minshen who was taking a nap with his eyes closed opposite her, and her heart couldn't help but pounding.

Last night, the King of Qi lifted his veil and left.

Because of shyness, she didn't have time to see his appearance clearly.

Only now did she see clearly that the King of Qi was actually a handsome man.

His upturned peach blossom eyes made her heart almost jump out when he stared at her.

The straight nose bridge seems like a work of nature.

The thin lips seem to be smiling but not smiling, and the jaw is angular. A little more and she would be charming, a little less and she would be cold and hard.

God was so kind to her, letting her marry such a handsome man.

The more she watched, the more she liked it, and the more she liked it, the more she wanted to watch it.

Xiao Minshen, who was thinking with his eyes closed, couldn't stand Liu Shishi's unscrupulous stare at him.

"Stop the car." He walked out.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Liu Shishi asked hurriedly.

"The prince has something else to do. Fulu, you take Concubine Liu back to the palace."

Liu Shishi sat back in her seat dejectedly. The King of Qi was too busy.

Xiao Minshen watched the carriage leave, clapped his hands, and Mo Yi appeared.

"Go find two horses and go out with me."

Xiao Minshen went out and didn't return home for several days.

When Shen Yunjin heard that Concubine Liu had returned home and asked to meet her, she raised her eyebrows.

"The Pang family said that Concubine Liu entered the palace alone with her maid in the morning, and the prince left half an hour earlier."

"I came back. Fulu sent me back, but I didn't see the prince."

Shen Yunjin let Hongliu tuck her temples in, and then asked someone to call Concubine Liu in.

Concubine Liu came in supported by Mingyue. She squatted down and half-bossed to Shen Yunjin.

"I pay my respects to my elder sister."

Shen Yunjin gestured to Jinzhi, "Sister, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down."

Concubine Liu walked to a chair nearby and sat down. Immediately, a maid brought her tea.

"Sister, are you back from the palace?" Shen Yunjin saw that Concubine Liu was still wearing a pink palace dress.

"Yes, didn't you come to pay your respects to your sister as soon as you got back?"

Liu Shishi looked at Shen Yunjin and scanned her belly.

"Sister, you are too polite. We are all servants of the prince. We just need to serve him well."

Shen Yunjin folded her hands on her abdomen. She had just felt Concubine Liu's gaze.

"Sister, this is not your first time here. I have something to ask you, elder sister."

Liu Shishi has inquired and found out that Shen Yunjin is the housekeeper of Prince Qi's Mansion now.

"Please speak, sister." Shen Yunjin picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Liu Shishi paused, an embarrassed look on her face, "Sister, I want to ask about the maids' monthly allowance."

Shen Yunjin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"The concubines in the palace receive fifty taels of silver each month, the personal maid receives one tael each month, and the other maids and servants all receive a fixed amount. Every year, each person receives several sets of clothes, as well as various seasonal snacks, all of which are taken care of by the old steward, Uncle Zhong."

Concubine Liu understood that the Qi Palace was not controlled by Shen Yunjin alone.

The prince also sent an old butler to help take care of it.

After getting the news she wanted, Liu Shishi prepared to say goodbye.

"You seem to be tired, it's you who bothered me, without considering my physical discomfort."

Shen Yunjin smiled and picked up the teacup.

Liu Shishi half-knelt and saluted, then walked out with her maid.

Yuzhi called the maid to come up and clean up, and curled her lips.

"She's from the Duke's Mansion. Why is she coming to ask for the monthly allowance? Are you afraid that our queen has embezzled her share?"

Jinzhi stepped forward and pinched her face, "You have a mouth that makes people love and hate you."
