Chapter 333 New Year
Cheng Ke looked at the stupid who was rushing over, and subconsciously flashed back, Zhou Jingran hurriedly stretched out his hand to push Cheng Ke's back,
"Stand still, Dumb is coming for you"
Ah Ben threw himself into Cheng Ke's arms, his legs were weak, he half-knelt on the ground, grabbed Cheng Ke's clothes with his hands, pulled himself up again, clinged to Cheng Ke's arms, turned his head, and looked at Zhou Jingran curiously.
"Just do it, whatever you like, go get it, don't be afraid to do whatever you want"
Ah Ben let go of Cheng Ke's shirt, excitedly raised his fat arm and shook it a few times, stopped, tilted his head, looked at Zhou Jingran, as if thinking very seriously for a moment, suddenly turned around, giggled and rushed over and grabbed the fan in Zhou Jingran's hand, Zhou Jingran was shocked, a little careless, the fan in his hand was snatched away by Ah Ben, Ah Ben carried the fan, held it high, shook it back and forth curiously, waved his hand and threw it on Cheng Ke's chest, rushed at Zhou Jingran, grabbed Zhou Jingran's collar, and toe it, opened his mouth to bite Zhou Jingran's face, Zhou Jingran went through such a formation, looked at the little white teeth shining in Ah Ben's drooling mouth, pricked his hands, tilted his head back as much as he could, and screamed anxiously,
"Xiao Ke, take your son away quickly"
The more Zhou Jingran screamed, the more excited Ah Ben became, and the two little fat legs kicked desperately, trying to climb onto Zhou Jingran, and the various things that grabbed Zhou were piled up under his feet, and they were kicked and scattered everywhere.
Mr. Suiyun turned his head to look at King Runan and sighed:
"This stupid boy likes living things, and he caught a big living person by catching Zhou."
Zhou Jingran finally broke free of Ah Ben, accompanied the ancient fan in his hand, untied the jade pendant on his body, and even the jasper plate finger was left by Cheng Keqiang, and promised Cheng Ke a pair of scimitars, so that he could be regarded as redeeming himself from Ah Ben's arrest of Zhou Li City.
Li Xiaonuan's days were busy, day by day was very fast, in a blink of an eye, he entered the wax moon, in the wax moon, Zhou Jingran's concubine Qian gave birth to the second son Zhou Shijing, Jingwangfu did the happy event in an orderly manner according to the old routine, and the families did not dare to send congratulatory gifts in the past according to the routine, up and down, and the rules were abnormal.
Zhou Shiyuan, who was far away in the southern army, stretched his neck and looked forward to the Spring Festival, since the Double Ninth Festival, he sent letters to Princess Cheng, begging and crying, playing tricks, to come back to visit his mother and sister, and come back for the New Year, Princess Cheng gritted her teeth, sealed a letter and severely reprimanded, categorically did not allow him to leave the southern army for half a step, thinking about it in the end, she asked her mother Princess Jingbei to go to the palace of Runan, begging for strict supervision, no matter what, he could not leave the barracks half a step, Zhou Shiyuan begged straight to the middle of the moon, his mother did not loosen his mouth, and the handsome sent a few guards, Ming trance guarded Zhou Shiyuan and Lin Huaiye, held Zhou Shiyuan, and asked him to wash the horses, Zhou Shiyuan cried a lot, so he had to die of heart, and washed the horses that were extremely dirty and smelly every day, and after washing them for a few days, he gradually stopped smelling of them.
In the second half of the month, King Cheng took Zhou Shixin back to the capital, Princess Cheng never mentioned that Zhou Shiyuan was going to come back for the New Year, King Cheng came back from the palace to see him, he was preoccupied, day and night to summon officials, all kinds of people, etc., so busy that he didn't have time to ask about Zhou Shiyuan.
Sacrificing the stove, the capital is as prosperous and lively as in previous years, all families are busy cleaning the court, making final preparations for the arrival of the New Year, the majestic palace, but there is a layer of invisible shadow, Song Doctor is taking a few imperial doctors, has been living in the palace, day and night on duty for several days, Cheng Guifei's face is relaxed as usual, looking at people preparing Lishi bags, Zhucui Baishiji and other things, but the heart is like being held by hand, the emperor's illness, can not hide her, this winter, this year, can you survive it?
Cheng Ke has been busy for a few days and hasn't gone home, and King Runan also excused himself to be cold, so he no longer takes Ah Ben to wander around, and he is busy almost every day in the outer study.
Li Xiaonuan clearly felt the clouds before the turmoil, and his heart was shrouded in dark clouds, but his face was relaxed as usual, steady his mind, and he was busy preparing for the New Year as in previous years.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the Cheng clan was a little deserted this year, there was no drama team, and there were no fireworks, only some buckets of flowers were put to illuminate the courtyard as bright as day.
Sending the clansmen away, Cheng Ke and his father accompanied the family for half an hour, King Runan and the old lady muttered a few words, the old lady had a gloomy face, sighed softly, and said in a low voice:
"Don't worry, there is me at home, and Xiao Ke's daughter-in-law, just rest assured."
King Runan nodded, Cheng Ke squeezed Li Xiaonuan's hand, stood up, and went out with his father, until the early morning when the ancestor was worshipped, the king of Runan hurriedly came back to preside over the sacrifice, but Cheng Ke did not even participate in the ancestor worship.
Li Xiaonuan's heart was heavy, waiting for the princess to get into the car, and went to the palace to congratulate the New Year's Day together as usual, and the internal and external wives who arrived in the palace early and waited for the pilgrimage seemed to be much richer than in previous years, even if they spoke, they also tried their best to lower their voices, Cheng Guifei did not come to the hall before the congratulatory ceremony as in previous years, until almost the auspicious time, she hurried to arrive, accepted the salute with a calm face, and did not wait for the women inside and outside the palace to get up, so she stood up and left directly.
Li Xiaonuan supported the princess and said in a low voice:
"Mother, let's go back quickly, I'm afraid...... Something bad is coming. ”
The princess's face changed slightly, nodded, and together with Li Xiaonuan, she left the palace as usual, got in the car and went back to the mansion to guard.
Cheng Guifei followed the inner attendant and hurried to the back of the front hall, listening to the long and festive singing of the celebrant outside with an anxious and worried face, staring at the water leak in the corner of the hall, counting little by little, only to feel that this year's congratulatory gift is so long, as if there is no end to it.
The emperor's body can't withstand such a long sitting.
Just as she was anxious, there was a sudden deathly silence in front of her, and then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, Cheng Guifei closed her eyes, desperately swallowed her tears, and ran towards the footsteps.
The emperor was held by two chamberlains and placed on the low couch behind the palace, Cheng Guifei rushed over, took the emperor's hand, and tried to make herself appear as if nothing happened, but her throat was tight and choked,
"Your Majesty, go back, I'll wait for you to go back and rest."
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the arms of the chamberlain, and commanded in a slow voice:
"Go to the Wisdom Palace."
Cheng Guifei couldn't help herself with sadness, the emperor felt that he couldn't do it, at this last time, he had to go back to his bedroom, there, to deal with the last few things, Cheng Guifei was speechless, held back tears, stood up, commanded the attendants to carry a bamboo recliner over, carried the emperor up, wrapped him carefully with a cloak, and put a hand stove in the emperor's arms, several attendants were about to lift the chaise longue carefully, and the emperor commanded in a low voice:
"Biography...... Ah Cheng, King Cheng sees me. ”
Cheng Guifei's heart was slightly cold, and when she saw that the chamberlain had agreed to go out, she ordered to lift the emperor, walk beside herself, hold the recliner, and walk all the way to Ruisi Palace.
Cheng Guifei waited for the emperor to lie on the bed, and the imperial physician Song with four or five imperial physicians was already kneeling beside the bed and waiting, seeing that the emperor was lying down, several imperial physicians kowtowed, hurriedly got up, lined up to prepare to diagnose the emperor's pulse, the emperor took a breath, and commanded in a low voice:
"It's good to diagnose alone, I've been sick for a few years."
Imperial Physician Song agreed, took half a step back, and signaled to Imperial Physician Wang, the emperor's disease, Imperial Physician Wang is the best at it, and it has always been diagnosed by him, Imperial Physician Wang swallowed his saliva nervously, half knelt on the bed, tried to stabilize his mind, and stretched out his hand to diagnose the emperor's pulse.
Cheng Guifei stood in front of the bed, looking at the sick and weak emperor with sad eyes, he and her have been together like an ordinary husband and wife for more than ten years, is he leaving? King Makoto? He called King Cheng
Seeing that the emperor and the concubine did not ask questions, he hurriedly retreated, signaled the waiter to enter the ginseng soup, and the waiter came into the ginseng soup, Cheng Guifei sat on the edge of the bed, helped the emperor to sit up, the waiter hurriedly took the mat, and put it behind the emperor carefully, Cheng Guifei waited for the emperor to sit down, took the ginseng soup in the hand of the waiter and fed the emperor, the emperor slowly drank a few sips, and signaled that he was unwilling to drink more, Cheng Guifei handed the ginseng soup to the waiter, and carefully wiped the corners of the emperor's mouth with the handkerchief in his hand. The emperor closed his eyes and gasped for breath for a while, and slowly commanded:
"King Chuanjing, Tang Xiang, Yan Xiang, and the front of the palace all commanded Cao Chengbiao to meet him."
The waiter agreed, withdrew to pass the decree, Song Imperial Doctor took all the imperial doctors, retreated to the side hall, and waited to listen to the summons with fear, the emperor held Cheng Guifei's hand with difficulty, wanted to exert force but did not have any strength, smiled bitterly, stared at her gently for a long time, closed his eyes and ordered:
"You go, look at the palace, look at the place, the palace...... Can't mess around, don't worry, my name is Ah Cheng, but I want to talk to him well, say a few words, in the end...... I owe him. ”
Cheng Guifei couldn't restrain herself from grief, lying on the emperor's lap, her shoulders shrugged, but she didn't dare to make a sound, the emperor leaned back, tears slowly oozing out of the corners of her eyes, and after a long while, she let out a long sigh,
"Go ahead, you still have Xiaojing."
Cheng Guifei straightened up, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, pressed back her cry, looked at the emperor with red and swollen eyes, nodded after a while, stood up, walked two steps with her head down, paused again, looked back at the emperor who was staring at her, tears fell like beads, the emperor showed a smile, and persuaded her in a low voice,
"Don't cry, go ahead."
Cheng Guifei turned around violently and stumbled out.
King Cheng stood in the courtyard of Ruisi Palace, his heart was hot and cold, restless with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth hurriedly, Cheng Guifei rushed out of the main hall, as if he didn't see him, his face was full of tears, and he rushed straight out of the palace gate, King Cheng looked at Cheng Guifei who rushed out, half-open mouth, dumbfounded
