Chapter 147: Undercurrent
"Is the Queen Mother really sick?" Qin Yunyi said in surprise, "I thought that at the beginning, the Queen Mother was pretending to be sick." β
"It's really sick. The good princess said, "The mother doesn't believe that the queen mother is sick because of you, how can she leave the palace so honestly." β
"She's an elder. Qin Yunyi said, "It's not good for Your Majesty to get into trouble with her because of me, this is not a good reputation." β
"Yes. The good princess said, "Niangniang went out of the palace so simply, and everyone outside the palace said that His Majesty and Niangniang were filial." β
"That's not all about their mouths. Qin Yunyi said, "In the past, it was said that Your Majesty's beauty was also mistaken for the country. β
"The prince has been nesting in the mansion in the name of the prince Kuxia these days, and he hasn't gone to the court. "The good princess said," he said that he felt that the atmosphere in the court was strange, and when this wave passed, he would go to the court, and there would be no major events recently. β
"There is no big deal, and the atmosphere is strange?" Qin Yunyi said with a smile, "I am confused about what you said." β
"After listening to some rumors, it is probably because Zhao Xiang's courtiers want His Majesty to establish a prince. The good princess said.
"Isn't this all a clichΓ©?" Qin Yunyi picked up the teacup, "Something that has to be mentioned every year, as for scaring the good king out of the door?"
"Your Majesty has never had the heart to establish a prince, in the past, the courtiers mentioned it, and Your Majesty rejected it, this time it looks like it is to force Your Majesty to make a decision, and it can no longer be dismissed. The good princess said, "I don't hide it, the mother is so smart, she must understand it when she hears it." β
"Zhao Xiang was afraid that after Niangniang gave birth to the prince, His Majesty would make Niangniang's son the heir, so he was anxious to force His Majesty to set the charter. β
"I don't know what this baby is?" Qin Yunyi said with a smile, "Maybe it's a princess." β
"I can't afford Zhao Xiang's anxiety. β
"Anyway, there is a dark tide surging in Beijing, and I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, so it seems that he is unaware of this situation. The good princess said, "The prince said that His Majesty does not know, but I don't believe it." β
"Your Majesty must know. β
"Your Majesty has his own statutes, and it is not something you and I can guess and understand. Qin Yunyi said, "I don't think about it that much now, as long as I can give birth to the child safely, I will be satisfied." β
"Niangniang's children and grandchildren are really late. Princess Shanshan smiled at Qin Yunyi's stomach and said, "You know, we have all been looking forward to you for a long time. β
Qin Yunyi touched his stomach and only smiled silently.
In the evening, the people who went to eat Miao'an wine came back, and the good princess was going back, "Niangniang, this is really a good place, listening to the cicadas outside the window, there is no heat in my heart, next time I will bring Da Lang to greet Niangniang, Niangniang don't think I'm annoying." β
"If you take the son out and come here in the morning when it's not hot, it's not okay to come here at noon today, but it's going to be stuffy. Qin Yunyi said with a smile.
"Niangniang feels sorry for the world, but she doesn't feel sorry for me. The good princess deliberately said, "Hey, I only hear the newcomer laughing, but I don't hear the old man crying." β
Qin Yunyi laughed at her, and after the good princess left, Qin Yunyi asked Miaoqing, how is Miao'an!
"Very good. Miaoqing said, "The groom is also in spirit, at first he talked and laughed with us, not like getting married at all, when he was about to go out, he was carried by her brother, and her mother and grandmother cried when they held hands." β
"Because the two families are not far apart, we also went to get married. β
"The bridegroom's mother looked very kind, knowing that we were coming, and set up a table in the new house, so that we could eat happily. β
"Didn't you eat before you went out?" Qin Yunyi asked after laughing.
"I ate a bowl of sweet wine balls, how can I stand it at this time. Miaoqing said, "The furniture in the house is new, and I invited a little girl to serve, Miao'an, I went to be a young grandmother to enjoy the blessings." β
"That's good. Qin Yunyi said, "You don't have to be jealous of her, when you want to get married, I will do it for you." β
Miaoqing lowered her head and didn't answer, she didn't marry anyway, and the rest of the people would marry if they wanted.
Time passes very slowly, repeating the day one day at a time, and nothing exceptional. After Qin Yunyi put incense on the spiritual throne with his hands, Miaoqing said beside him, "Today is the first day of the eighth month. β
Qin Yunyi folded his hands and bent down to bow.
Pregnancy didn't make her fatter, she was still thin, her belly was hidden under her dress, and at first glance, no one knew that a new life was being born there.
"I used to be in the palace, but after the first day of August, it was time to pack up and go back to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Miaoqing said.
"This year, I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the temple. Qin Yunyi said, "You go and ask the abbot for a recipe for vegetarian mooncakes, and then go to the market to buy things back, and let's make our own mooncakes to eat." β
"If Miao An is here, she should shout about what is delicious about vegetarian mooncakes. Miaoqing said.
"The vegetarian mooncake is delicious, with boiled sandy bean paste as the filling, fragrant aftertaste, better than meat mooncakes. Qin Yunyi said.
"Your Majesty sends people to Bao'en Temple every day, but there is not a word to bring to Niangniang. Miaoqing said, "Is Your Majesty still angry with Niangniang?"
"People who have the ability have a big temper. Qin Yunyi said, even if it is actually more than a month after seeing each other, but it seems like a long, long time apart, when she entered the palace, she went to the Taimiao, and she did not have this feeling.
"If Niangniang is willing to let someone bring a sentence, saying that Niangniang misses Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely be soft. Miaoqing said. "Even if you don't go back to the palace, Your Majesty will come to see Niangniang. β
"Niangniang is eating less and less these days. β
"I don't eat much because I have a body and I don't have an appetite. β
"What does it have to do with Your Majesty?" Qin Yunyi said solemnly, "I am very comfortable here, and the people in and outside the palace in this palace know that I have fallen out of favor, and they scold me less in their hearts, so they will be regarded as a blessing for my belly." β
". Miaoqing said helplessly, saying that the mother is more expensive than the child, and the concubine was the first person in the palace before she conceived a child, so why is it better to be pregnant with a child.
"Niangniang is just for the little prince, so she shouldn't be so laissez-faire. β
Qin Yunyi looked up at the wind chimes hanging under the eaves, "It's okay, Your Majesty is a soft-hearted father, and he can treat children equally whether he is favored or not." β
The Queen Mother's illness is not good, but it is getting more and more serious, such as the concubines have put away their little feelings of self-pity, and take care of them meticulously in front of the Queen Mother, if the aunt dies at this time, then she has no way to live.
The imperial doctor has sent two or three, Qi Zongwen has a circle of bubbles on the side of his mouth because of the queen mother's illness, after all, he said it first, the queen mother is well, and the concubine only returned to the palace, he thought that the queen mother should be better if she was interested, but he didn't expect her to be really sick, and she couldn't afford to be sick.
Qi Zongwen is in a hurry, if the Queen Mother is so unfortunate and dies directly, then the concubine will have to bear the name of the Queen Mother, and the unborn child may have to bear the name of the disaster star.
He knew all too well what manipulators would take advantage of it.
put pressure on the Tai Hospital, it was necessary to cure the Queen Mother's illness, and on the other hand, let people post the emperor's list and recruit private masters to enter the palace to treat the Queen Mother.
"Si Tianjian, that person is really not a pity to die. Qi Zongwen slapped the table angrily when he thought of the source of these things, but when Wei Hu sent someone to investigate his life, he found that someone was trying to kill him.
Qi Zongwen came to his senses, if someone wants to kill him, it must have the advantage of killing him. What good can this man do if he dies, because he is going to be killed because he takes money to do things? No, there is another possibility, that is, he can be framed and the concubine can be framed.
Yes, he can't die now, once he dies, this death will only offend His Majesty and the concubine, and the account will have to be hung on their heads, and there is no argument. So instead of dying, he had to live well.
"Have you investigated the person who went to kill him?" Qi Zongwen asked.
"That's a bastard on the street, who takes money to do things, and the face of the person who comes is wrapped in a cloth scarf, and he can't tell what he looks like. Wei Hu said that this matter has reached a dead end, and the investigation cannot be carried out. "The people behind this must be accustomed to this, and they can't find any clues. β
"Who could it be?" Qi Zongwen frowned, who wanted to frame him?
The Queen Mother originally didn't expect to be so sick, but now she can't look at it, so when she was a little conscious, she was busy asking Her Majesty to come, what did she have to do in order to let Her Majesty continue to take care of the Wu family after death.
"Seeing that it's August, the concubine has also lived outside the palace for two months, let her come back to the palace. The Queen Mother coughed and said, "The autumn on the mountain also came earlier than the next place, and the concubine still has a body, so she needs to take care of herself." β
"The queen mother recuperates with peace of mind. Qi Zongwen said, "Now the mother's illness is more important than anything else." β
"Your Majesty's filial piety mourners know. The Queen Mother seemed to have tears in the corners of her eyes, "The mourning family is not your biological mother, and she neglected to take care of you in the past, after you entered the palace, you were filial to the mourning family everywhere, respected the mourning family, and the mourning family was confused, thinking that she was good for Your Majesty, and she had more guidance for Your Majesty's harem, which made Your Majesty unhappy." β
Qi Zongwen interrupted her, "No, the queen mother is the queen mother, and the queen mother can naturally discipline the affairs of the harem." β
"It's just poor concubine. Qi Zongwen sighed.
"Your Majesty, call the concubine back. The Queen Mother said, "That Si Tianjian is a bunch of nonsense, the illness of the mourning family has nothing to do with the concubine, don't let the concubine suffer outside the palace." β
When the Queen Mother saw that Qi Zongwen was reluctant to answer, she said, "The mourning family sent a decree to let the concubine come back." β
"The mourning family also has to issue a decree to reprimand Si Tianjian, who is not good at learning and art, and talks nonsense, if, if the illness of the mourning family is really related to the concubine, how can they be that after the concubine leaves the palace, the mourning family is seriously ill. β
The Queen Mother was about to stop gasping when she said something, she was also unwilling, she had been aggrieved in the first half of her life, and she was going to die early before she enjoyed happiness in the second half of her life. β
"If the mourning family is really dead, Your Majesty will lift the ban on concubines, you don't need Your Majesty to see her, let her use the identity of concubines to retire in the palace, the Wu family, Your Majesty will also take care of more, as the former queen relatives, they did not get the light, but followed the fear for a long time, it is the fault of the mourning family. β
"Your Majesty. The Queen Mother said that she took Qi Zongwen's hand, "Your Majesty must follow the mourning family." β
The queen mother said seriously. Qi Zongwen said, "If it doesn't stop here, the imperial doctor will cure the queen mother." β
