After this matter was done, Yu Wenhao asked Yuan Qingling to go to the palace to talk to Concubine Hu Niangniang about something, and think of a way to coax his father out of the palace.

Yu Wenhao believes that his father feels that the high price of medicine and the high cost of diagnosis will have more advantages than disadvantages for the imperial court, after all, it is very comfortable to collect taxes.

Yu Wenhao also went to check, the taxes paid by the pharmacy of the Northern Tang Medical Center were still relatively large, and his father was afraid of poverty, but he was willing to do anything that could increase revenue for the treasury.

He believes that the cost of a medicine is so much that the people who can go to the hospital to see a doctor don't care much.

However, this is his idea of living in a high temple, and his idea is to take it for granted, and the best way is to let him see it with his own eyes and understand the suffering of the people, so that he will be ruthless to reform.

Yuan Qing Ling entered the palace according to her words, she can speak bluntly to Concubine Hu, Concubine Hu is a reasonable person, and she is also very supportive of the prince and Yuan Qing Ling, after listening to the whole thing, she sighed and said, "Is this the same in the capital?" I also thought that only the bitter cold land was like this, when I was in the border, the medical hall of the consultation fee and medicine fee was also very high, the general people could not go to the doctor at all, when they got sick, they went to catch some herbs, or to find a barefoot doctor, I still remember a girl in the house, her brother fell from the tree, began to be injured not very serious, but there was no money to hire a doctor, her mother went up the mountain to pick herbs for him to cover the wound, covered and covered, the wound was pus, swollen up a big piece, high fever for several days, the girl knelt in front of the palace, begged the palace to invite a doctor for her brother, but it was too late, the doctor went to see it, and said that he had no power to return to heaven, but as long as he could afford to cure it, this life could not be lost. ”

Yuan Qingling couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, I am afraid that there are many people like this.

But what can be done? The medical center in Beitang is priced so high whether it is the consultation fee or the medicine fee, this is not a place, but the whole country.

"Then ask the mother to help with this." Yuan Qingling said.

Concubine Hu said: "Don't worry, the princess, the palace should be able to persuade the emperor to go out for a walk, and the emperor should also go out for a walk, this world is his world, but he is only in the palace all day long, I don't know the suffering of the people, how to do it?" ”

The other concubines didn't dare to say this, and Concubine Hu didn't rely on the emperor's favor, she has always been like this.

"Then thank you Niangniang!" Yuan Qingling stood up and saluted.

Concubine Hu looked at her and said with a smile: "I really envy you husband and wife, if it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't tell you about these political affairs, but the fifth child didn't hide anything from you, and was willing to ask you to help, how good." ”

Yuan Qingling smiled, "Niangniang, he asked me to help, and I can help him, didn't he say it was really good?" I'm going to have to suffer from this. ”

Concubine Hu shook her head, "No, it's good to be able to help the people you love, this palace hopes that the emperor can tell this palace something troublesome, but what he never says is that sometimes he loses his temper, and he just lets this palace see his temper, and this palace doesn't know what happened." ”

"Father is angry with you?" Yuan Qingling was stunned, it's unlikely, right? The father really loves the concubine, and a discerning person can see it at a glance, it is impossible on weekdays, let alone pregnant now.

Concubine Hu said with a smile: "He didn't lose his temper with the palace, but when he came to the palace, the stinky face was not confiscated, sometimes Mu Ru's father-in-law was waiting beside him, so he took Mu Ru's father-in-law out of anger, and sometimes the palace looked at it, and the father-in-law was really wronged." ”

Yuan Qingling also laughed, indeed, Mu Ru's father-in-law is sometimes very angry, but what can be done? The father is inseparable from Mu Ru's father-in-law.

"Where's the old ten?" Yuan Qingling came here for so long before he remembered that he hadn't seen the Ten Princes yet.

"Went to the Queen's side." Concubine Hu said.

Yuan Qingling was a little surprised, "Went to the queen's side?" Did the queen pass him on? ”

Concubine Hu said: "It's he who is talking about going to the queen mother's side and playing with the starling brother, but it's ......."

Concubine Hu tilted her head sideways, looking a little speechless and stopping.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Yuan Qingling asked.

Concubine Hu lowered her voice, "I always feel that the concubine and the queen have been a lot friendlier recently, not to mention going to accompany each other every day, and specially asking someone to set up a small kitchen in the palace, sometimes living directly on the queen's side, what kind of idea does the concubine have?" Can the concubine tell me? ”

Yuan Qingling naturally knows, but Concubine Hu has never been the kind of person who is curious about gossip, how can she sound it, I think she is afraid that the concubine and the queen will join forces and don't know what to do, in the end, she is now in love, she has a son and is pregnant, and she will be cautious when she becomes a mother.

She thought that it was okay to inform Concubine Hu about this, so she told her what the concubine had requested.

After hearing this, Concubine Hu's heart was a little relieved, "It turned out to be for this, it's better." ”

"Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, so many things have happened in the past few years, presumably the harem can't toss anything."

Concubine Hu sighed lightly, "The palace can't help but worry, someone in front of the imperial concubine a while ago, saying that the harem has not been drafted for a long time, and it's time to hold a draft, saying that the rules set by the ancestors can't let the emperor favor the palace alone." ”

"Who brought it up?" Yuan Qing Ling was surprised, he had never heard of this.

Concubine Hu's eyebrows were slightly sorrowful, "It's Concubine Qin." ”

Yuan Qingling didn't expect Concubine Qin to make some trouble, she thought that after Yuwenjun's death, Concubine Qin should live honestly.

"Now the youngest in the harem is the palace, and the emperor always comes to the palace, and since the eldest prince left, the emperor has never visited her palace at all, and she hates me for being close to you, so she naturally finds a way to deal with me, and her heart is happy."

Concubine Hu said that, she felt that this was inappropriate, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, this palace didn't say that you meant to implicate this palace." ”

Yuan Qingling shook his head, "No, it's really because of me that Niangniang was hated by her, but I thought she wouldn't make any more trouble, but I didn't expect to bring up the matter of this draft girl, in fact, the emperor didn't mean this, so he shouldn't agree in the end, right?" What did the imperial concubine say? ”

Concubine Hu said: "A few days ago, please be safe, the imperial concubine said this in front of everyone, mainly I want to hear everyone's opinions, in fact, no one will object, because in addition to this is the rule left by the ancestors, but also because they themselves are not very favored, when the palace is favored for a long time, everyone does not treat the palace very much, simply choose a few young people to come in and compete with the palace, and see the excitement." ”

Concubine Hu said this a little helplessly, in fact, when she chose to enter the palace to serve the emperor, she knew that there would be someone younger than her in the future, the emperor is still young, in the prime of life, and it is not a problem to have ten or eight princes.
