I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

At dinner time on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, in the Zichao Hall of the Dayao Palace, in Concubine Mu's bedroom.

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month was a very special day. The third prince Qi Zhen and An Wuxia took a risk and went to the foreigners in Sifang Inn to get the thousand-year-old ocean glacier water. The most important thing was that the poison of Queen Chen's "Blue Stone Water Heart" worsened, her life was in danger, and her position as Queen was in danger.

At noon that day, the mother and son of Concubine Mu in the palace made a detailed and realistic analysis of the situation of the previous dynasty. At this moment, they were further fueling the emperor's intention to abolish Empress Chen. They hoped to know the emperor's intention as soon as possible, and it would be best to get rid of Empress Chen, who was a thorn in their side, immediately.

No wonder Concubine Mu and her son took advantage of the special moment of the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. While the emperor was coming to the Purple Court Hall for dinner, they started to fan the flames again.

But on the rosewood oval table inlaid with gold in the Purple Court Hall, there were all kinds of delicacies and cakes, waiting for the emperor's arrival. And the four trusted palace maids of Concubine Mu - Ranyun, Xuanyue, Chenlan and Muxi, each held a very special tool.

Ran Yun stood quietly by the side, holding a whisk.

Xuanyue held the dust tail in her hand and stood quietly by the side.

Chen Lan stood quietly by the side, holding a banner.

Muxi stood quietly by the side, holding a brush.

Later, the emperor arrived at the Purple Palace as expected. Concubine Mu and her son Qizhu immediately welcomed him and served him dinner.

Concubine Mu said as she picked up some food for the emperor: "Your Majesty! These dishes are your favorites and I made them myself. Your Majesty must try them and not let me down."

The emperor said with a smile, "Okay! I will definitely live up to your efforts. After a good meal, I believe your cooking skills will improve greatly."

Concubine Mu said coquettishly and sweetly: "Then Your Majesty must taste my cooking carefully. By the way, I have also prepared my own wine, and I guarantee that Your Majesty will enjoy a thousand cups of wine."

The emperor smiled as he ate and said, "My beloved concubine is always so considerate and attentive and makes me feel relaxed and happy. Every time I come to the Purple Court Hall, I always feel particularly happy."

While pouring wine for the emperor, Concubine Mu said coquettishly, "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs for the sake of the country. I will naturally do my best to make your Majesty happy and peaceful. This will ensure your health and help your Majesty make the most wise decisions. This is also my responsibility. As long as your Majesty is happy, I will do it with joy."

The emperor was very pleased with the soft, fragrant and jade-like beauty of the imperial concubine. He took the golden cup she handed over with a smile, drank it all in one gulp and said happily: "Well, the wine brewed by my beloved concubine is really very different! It has the sweet and sour grape and other fragrant aromas, and the taste is just like my beloved concubine, which makes people linger."

Concubine Mu's large golden-brown pupils were flickering up and down at this moment, and her long, thick, curved eyelashes looked like a beautiful peacock spreading its tail.

Such a unique and charming concubine displayed her charm and seduction to the emperor. No one could resist it, let alone the king of a country.

After the emperor had finished his meal and wine, he put down his silver chopsticks and golden cup, looked at the prince and said, "Zhu'er is already nineteen years old, and it is time for you to discuss marriage and choose a concubine. Father will definitely choose a beautiful and virtuous princess for you from all over the country. Don't follow your third brother's example and say that you should make your own decision on marriage. It is simply absurd."

When Concubine Mu and the Crown Prince heard that the Emperor was going to choose a Crown Princess for his son, the mother and son looked at each other in surprise. Concubine Mu smiled and said, "Your Majesty's vision must be right. I will leave it to Your Majesty. No one knows a son better than his father. The person Your Majesty chooses must be both talented and beautiful and a role model for the world."

The emperor smiled and said, "I knew that my Zhu'er has always been well-behaved and intelligent, much better than your rebellious third brother."

Qi Zhu immediately said modestly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. How can I be better than my third brother? He has always been perceptive about the major events in the court and can give you great advice on how to govern the country. He is also very good at identifying people and assigning them to the right positions. I am far from being able to do that."

The emperor said: "Zhen'er is indeed a good ruler, but unfortunately he is too upright and kind, lacking the courage and decisiveness of a ruler."

Concubine Mu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let's talk about something happy. Today is the 24th of that month, and the folk custom is to get rid of the old and welcome the new."

The emperor gradually stopped smiling and said with a heavy heart: "Get rid of the old and welcome the new! Get rid of the old..."

Concubine Mu turned around and said to the four palace maids behind her: "Your Majesty, you don't know, but today I am leading everyone to get rid of the old and welcome the new! Your Majesty, look, Ranyue is using a whisk to get rid of the old, Xuanyue is using a dust tail to get rid of the old dirt, Chenlan is using a banner to wipe off the old marks, and Muxi is using a pulp brush to remove the seeds and peel of the tangerine peel. Once these tools are used, isn't the Purple Court Palace getting rid of the old and welcoming the new?"

The emperor listened to Concubine Mu's words with ulterior motives and thought to himself, "Get rid of the old and welcome the new, brush off the old, dust off the old soil, wipe off the old traces, remove the seeds and peel of the tangerine peel... Each of them has the word "Chen" in it. It seems that Concubine Mu is still coveting the position of queen!"

Seeing the emperor's silence and solemn expression, Concubine Mu began to feel a little uneasy. She also secretly wondered, "I wonder what your majesty is up to? Zhu'er has been made the crown prince, but I, his mother, have not been made queen yet. Could it be that your majesty is still thinking about that crazy woman?!"

The prince saw that the atmosphere had fallen into silence, and his father and mother stopped talking. So he smiled and said hurriedly, "Mother, you really have good intentions. Today, you are leading the harem to get rid of the old and welcome the new. Next year, our Dayao will surely be renewed and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

The emperor smiled indifferently and said quietly: "It's getting late. The dinner prepared by my beloved concubine is very much to my taste. There are still some memorials to be approved in Tai'an Palace. I will go back first and let the prince accompany my beloved concubine more on my behalf." After that, the emperor ordered his trusted eunuch Shi Chengyu to go back.

After the emperor left, Concubine Mu slammed the table in anger and said angrily: "I have been with the emperor for more than 20 years, climbing step by step from a little palace maid to the position of concubine, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even compete with a crazy old woman for the position of empress! I don't believe it. Since the emperor's mind is hard to predict, let's just wait and see!"

Prince Qizhu hurriedly tried to comfort Concubine Mu, saying, "Don't be angry, mother. In my opinion, father may have a better plan, and he may have already considered it. Mother has always been favored by father, and the position of empress must belong to you."
