Chapter 2261 Light Gate Lintel 61
Wu Jue also quickly knelt down and followed her example, announcing his home address: "Wu Jue, the little Xuanhumen."
Xining crossed his hands up and down, straightened his back and said loudly: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Is this an ancient ritual?"
"Exactly." Xining responded: "It is an ancient ritual of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I think this ritual can show the dignity of the Queen Mother."
In fact, I don't know what etiquette is used in this palace now. Not to mention different planes, different dynasties have different etiquette. It happened that I found another book among a large pile of medical books, which advocated that the current rituals and music had collapsed and that the old system should be restored. It happened to have the Zhou rites that were most respected by literati, and it was also painted. Then use it, the literati praise it, and the Queen Mother should not object.
"Good children, get up, everyone, get up." The Queen Mother laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Xining stood up. Although he was not offered a seat, at least he no longer had to kneel to speak. Otherwise, I won’t be able to spare Zhao Kang!
Seeing the Queen Mother like this, Zhao Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that you are the little miracle doctor invited by Kang'er, so come over and check your pulse." The Queen Mother motioned to the old woman next to her.
Xining stood there: "The Queen Mother doesn't know something. I need medical fees for medical treatment, and the third prince owes medical fees."
Zhao Kang has a big head again. How can a doctor ask for money at this time? Is he dying or is his brain damaged?
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You should get money for medical treatment. I wonder how much is needed?"
After all, he was the champion of the last palace fight, so he could hold on. Xining stood there and answered in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "The consultation fee is 50 taels of silver, which is equivalent to a thousand taels of treatment or a life saving of 10,000 taels. This money includes medicine, equipment and all other miscellaneous expenses."
There is also a sentence added at the end: "If it cannot be cured, the consultation fee will not be refunded."
"Compared to Medicine God Valley, this price is not expensive." The Queen Mother's smile became even stronger and she looked at Zhao Kang: "It seems that you owe her ten thousand taels, Kang'er, right?"
Sure enough, Menqing is amazing. Ten thousand taels is the money to buy his life. Zhao Kang was covered in blood at that time. If he hadn't met her, his life was not strong enough and his body couldn't survive, he would have died of excessive blood loss.
Zhao Kang, who was sitting on the side, lowered his head with a very respectful attitude and admitted: "Yes, Imperial Grandmother." So she became a handyman at Xuanhumen, and the jade pendant was still in her hand.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and ordered her nanny: "Go and get one hundred taels of silver."
"No, fifty taels is enough." Xining replied firmly.
The Queen Mother and Nanny looked at each other, and then Nanny smiled and said: "If you don't have money, will you not save me?"
"Of course I have to save you." Xi Ning looked extremely generous and confident: "Xuanhumen can't just ignore death and save him. If you don't have money, you can write an IOU. The guardian around me writes IOUs. When you have enough money, When to leave.”
Wu Jue also wanted to cover his forehead. Normally he would just talk wildly. But at this time, the junior sister was still talking nonsense in front of the Queen Mother. If it weren't for the fact that she was still young and treated her as a childish talker after she was fifteen years old, See if the Queen Mother doesn't punish her.
"Dharma Protector? The Dharma Protector is also forced to stay in Xuanhumen because he owes medical fees?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.
Wu Jue's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't say these nonsense. He thought for a while and then replied: "It's not forced, it's voluntary. The little junior sister saved the lives of the grassroots, it was like recreating the lives of the grassroots. During the period of recovery, His Highness the Third Prince took care of the grassroots. If it hadn't been for Xiao Junior Sister and His Highness the Third Prince, Cao Min have long been dead. Cao Min has been in the world before, and it is inevitable for Cao Min to make grudges. Young Junior Sister has repaid the hatred of my enemies with medicine, so that Cao Min can live a stable life in Xuanhumen. , and will never leave again.”
Zhao Kanggang was relieved again. Wu Jue, who usually kept silent, was unexpectedly able to talk, and everything he said was on point. Those who can use medical skills to counteract hatred must first pass the test. It is not a matter of life and death. Who can let go of hatred? It also made the Queen Mother know that if it weren't for Xuanhumen and Xining, his life would have been in danger, and there was no guarantee that he would be able to return to the capital alive.
"That's it~" The Queen Mother first looked at Zhao Kang, then sat there for a while, and then said to her mother: "Go and get fifty taels of silver."
"No need for now, we will settle the knot later." Xining bowed: "I will take the Queen Mother's pulse now." The Queen Mother will never be short of money, and for those who have money and are not defaulters, they can settle the bill afterwards.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded. She stood up holding her mother's hand and sat down on the Arhat bed next to her. Another palace maid motioned for Xi Ning to follow her.
There is a bed table in the middle of the Arhat bed, with various snacks and fruits placed on it, dividing the entire bed into left and right sides.
A small pillow was placed on the table. The Queen Mother put her hand on it and rested her wrist on it. Even with gentle movements, a pair of fine mutton-fat white jade bracelets on her wrists still collided slightly and made a tinkling sound.
Under the guidance of the palace maid, Xining sat on the other side of the low table. This is the highest courtesy. Even the imperial physician in the palace basically kneels down to check the pulse.
He reached out to take his pulse and judged carefully. After a while, he felt confident. He said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is in good health, no need to prescribe medicine, only fifty taels of silver is enough."
The Queen Mother looked deeply: "Is there no need to prescribe medicine, or is there no need to prescribe medicine?"
As expected, he was the last palace fighting champion, so he could understand what he said. Who doesn't want to make money, or one thousand taels of silver, but only says he wants fifty taels.
Xining looked around. The nanny immediately called all the maids away, and she was the only one standing next to the queen mother.
Xining then said: "There is no need to prescribe medicine."
Wu Jue couldn't understand, but Zhao Kang's heartbeat started to beat faster again, and his throat raised. Junior sister, you just go through the motions, who are you calling yourself a moth?
The Queen Mother's shrewd eyes became deeper and deeper: "But it doesn't matter, I forgive you." There is no need to hold back or cover up, I just forgive you, just say it quickly.
Xi Ning spoke slowly: "The Empress Dowager must have used something cold and cold when she was young. Her body was severely depleted. It's a pity that it has been so long. Although she can regain her strength now, it is no longer useful. In recent years, she has taken a lot of qi-enhancing drugs. It’s a good medicine for health, and the pulse is stable and strong. If there is no illness or disaster, please call me for a pulse diagnosis for at least another ten years.”
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Go and get a thousand taels of silver, and then take a box of golden melon seeds and two pieces of cloud brocade to reward the little miracle doctor."
Golden melon seeds are not available to just anyone. Yun brocade has always been a royal tribute, and it has a price but no market.
"The Queen Mother is kind, but she will not be rewarded for no merit." Xining bowed: "Fifty taels will be enough."
"In that case, let's take fifty taels of silver." The Queen Mother did not force it, but instead said with a somewhat bleak face: "It would be great if the Ai family met the little miracle doctor earlier."
But a trace of emotion passed quickly, and he put on an amiable smile: "Kang'er, please send the little miracle doctor to your father to have a look, and remind him to prepare fifty taels of silver."
"Yes!" Zhao Kang, who had been standing aside for a long time, agreed.
Xining's lips curled up after hearing this, and all of this naturally fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother. So the Queen Mother waved her hand and said she was tired, and asked her nanny to send them out.
After leaving the Yongshou Palace, Xining became furious: "I said that when I returned to the capital, I had my own business, not to put my head in my belt to diagnose the pulse of the entire palace."
"It's my fault, but I need to find a way to return to the capital, so I'm using your name to make it up to you." Zhao Kang was smiling and coaxing beside him, while Wu Jue followed behind with a medicine box on his back.
