40. Regeneration incidents

Heaven.

The second son of the crown prince came to the world with goose feathers and heavy snow, and when he heard the good news this morning, the ministers said that "Ruixue is a good year", which is a great auspicious omen.

Emperor Hongwu was very happy, and immediately put pen to paper and gave his grandson a lofty name - Zhu Yunxi. The crown princess turned the corner, the little nephew was born with auspicious signs, and the Chang family of Kaiping Wangfu was very happy, and happily followed the prince to receive the holy decree of the name.

But after the eunuch handed over the holy decree, another sentence came, "Spread the emperor's message, 'Since this baby was born from the water, the nickname should be called Shuisheng', Qin this!" ”

Zhu Biao, the prince who likes to dance and write and make ink, and is a vassal and elegant, was so shocked that he almost didn't hold the holy decree in his hand, Chang Sen smiled: "The name of Shui Sheng is excellent, and the name of the little nephew is called Yunxi, and the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are complete, and he is really a blessed person." ”

Of course, no one dares to say bad about the nickname given by Emperor Hongwu. Although there is no blood relationship with the little thing in her arms, Queen Ma still likes aquatic life very much, she skillfully holds the big red silk golden python swaddling clothes, the baby inside has eaten and fallen asleep, because it is not born at term, the child is as light as the snowflakes outside.

The nurse on the side said: "The aquatic can eat and sleep, and when the confinement is over, it will soon be fat." ”

Queen Ma glanced at Chang Sen and said with a smile: "The contours of the aquatic eyebrows and eyes look like you, and you look weirdly handsome." ”

The three brothers of the Chang family, the eldest Chang Mao, and the second Chang Sheng, are like Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, who does not talk much, has a quiet temperament, and has the talent of a general, and they are all good at fighting on the battlefield. Only the third Chang Sensheng has red lips and white teeth, a literati style, and sharp teeth, and is very good at speaking scenes. The most tired of the war, the turtle cowered at home as a gentleman, swearing never to go out,

In fact, the newborn children are like red-skinned monkeys, where you can see the "handsome", Chang Sen has the heart to slap the horse, and said according to the meaning of the queen horse: "The queen mother sees it very accurately, the nephew is like an uncle, and the water grows like me." ”

Queen Ma pointed to the three brothers of the Chang family and said with a smile: "The three of you were born and raised by me, and the names were all taken by the emperor, time flies, and you have become a man who stands up to the sky, guarding the country for Zhu Ming's country, and when the water grows in the future, I will take him to see our Ming Dynasty......

stayed up all night, but Queen Ma seemed to be in good spirits, chatting happily with the three brothers of the Chang family, and their feelings were very good. Instead, the crown prince Zhu Biao stood aside and interjected several times, but failed.

Zhu Biao faintly felt that something was wrong, Queen Ma was tranquil by nature, liked to be quiet, treated her relatives equally, and did her best to be courteous, why was she so enthusiastic about the Chang family today? I'm afraid it's not just because the crown princess gave birth to an aquatic child, but because she thinks that the Lu family is ......

At this time, the grandmother in the Lu family's room came over and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the side concubine is unwell, and there is something else to report to you." ”

The crown prince was originally suspicious, but at this moment, in front of Queen Ma and the Chang family, he couldn't see Concubine Lu immediately. Then he whispered: "Just say that I have something to do, and I will have time to see her in the evening." ”

Mama was a little surprised, on weekdays, as long as the side concubine came to invite, the prince would basically go, what happened today?

The prince said coldly: "Don't go yet." ”

Mama hurriedly retreated and hurried back to the west hall to reply. Concubine Lu knelt down to worship the sky on a snowy night, prayed for the safety of the crown princess's mother and son, and said that she would rather live for ten years. suffered some wind and cold, and at this time I was sick in bed, and there were several soup women stuffed in the futon to keep warm, and I felt that I couldn't get rid of the cold in my bones.

Hearing Mama's reply, Concubine Lu even felt a little cold in her heart, and asked, "Confused, did you forget that the prince said that I was unwell?" ”

"I said it, the old slave didn't dare to forget it."

Concubine Lu was furious and threw the bright yellow pumpkin pillow behind her, "Useless things, please change someone else!" ”

"Yes." Mama retired. After only walking a few steps, I heard Concubine Lu shouting again: "Don't go and invite, all step back and call Wei'er over." ”

The eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen and the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying are the same age, only a few months younger. But Zhu Yunwen has the reputation of a prodigy, writing at the age of three and being able to compose poetry at the age of four. Whether it is the Hanlin Bachelor of the Great Main Hall, or the Hongwu Emperor and the Crown Prince, they all like him very much.

Zhu Yunwen is like a rare pearl, comparing other pearls to ordinary dead fish eyes. As long as he appeared, he naturally attracted everyone's attention. Zhu Xiongying, the brother-in-law, looked bleak under his background.

He is Concubine Lu's greatest pride and hope.

In order to celebrate the birth of his younger brother today, he specially wore a red silk unicorn shearling cotton jacket, and a white jade belt with a cloud python around his waist.

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

Concubine Lu looked at her eldest son fixedly, she couldn't get enough of it, and at the end, she said, "Don't go to the main hall to study today, I have already given you three days off." In the past three days, you have served tea and medicine to the crown princess to fulfill your filial piety. If you have time, you will go to the nurse to see the new brother, you must remember that you should treat this younger brother more affectionately and caringly than you do to Yun Xi and Yun Hee. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded like a little adult, "I know what to do, but my mother is still sick here......"

Concubine Lu said: "There is no shortage of people to serve my mother, listen to my mother's words." The crown princess is your mother-in-law, and the new brother is very popular with the emperor and queen, and he was given a name just after birth. ”

"Don't worry, I understand." Zhu Yunwen said: "I'll come to see my mother sooner or later, you have to take care of yourself and get better as soon as possible." ”

Concubine Lu touched her son's head, "Son, you will be working hard these days." But there is no way, although you are extremely smart, but if you are born in the belly of your mother's side room, the future is destined to be more difficult. ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Mother, don't think nonsense, my son has never been afraid of hardship." If you take good care of your body, your son can study and do things with peace of mind. Last night you prayed in the snow, and your son was restless in the temple and kept worrying. Mother, don't do such a risky thing in the future, it hurts your body, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Alas, son, are you still too tender? Since you are doing it for others to see, you have to be ruthless with yourself. Not to mention praying in the snow, I can even dig up the meat and cut the liver when necessary!

Concubine Lu said: "Okay, my mother knows, you can go." ”

After Zhu Yunwen left, Concubine Lu's eyes sank, and she said, "Come on, give me a good check on the details of that medical girl Yao Miaoyi, how is this girl similar to the Xie sisters of Wuzhong back then?" There are such characters, and they are still secretive, you people are deaf and blind on weekdays? ”

Speaking of Yao Miaoyi, Concubine Lu's eyes were full of resentment and regret: a little bit, just a little bit!

The crown princess has two lives, Zhu Xiongying is a mediocre person, and he is not worthy of lifting shoes for my son, so he will use some means in the future...... Great things can be done.

But halfway through, a medical girl Yao Miaoyi jumped out! Overnight, turn things around!

The palace people sent a decoction.

As soon as the medicine cup touched her lips, Concubine Lu put down the decoction again, "Take it away, I won't drink it." ”

The palace man said: "The side concubine is afraid of hardship? Rinse your mouth immediately after drinking the medicine, and eat some candied fruit and fragrant mouth. Although the medicine is bitter, it is conducive to the early recovery of the mother. ”

Concubine Lu smiled faintly, "Get well soon?" In my opinion, it will take a few more days for this disease to be cured. ”

The palace people retired. Concubine Lu took out a mirror with a Western silver handle inlaid with treasure from the pillow. Looking at herself in the mirror, the beauty in the mirror is beautiful and graceful, like a lake reflecting the moon, and it is impossible to tell that it is a middle-aged woman who has given birth to four children.

The sideburns piled up like a dark cloud, and the sick beauty seemed to be invincible, pitiful. It is said that Israel serves the king for a long time, but if there is no color, there is no need to say anything.

While the youth is still there and the color has not faded, we should strive to grasp what we have now. Concubine Lu lifted the brocade quilt, walked to the desk, and flipped out a maple leaf collected this autumn from the page.

The maple leaves are as red as fire, and this is what the prince picked up when he climbed the mountain with her during the Double Ninth Festival. Concubine Lu wrote a lingering love poem on the maple leaf, sealed it in an envelope, and asked the palace people to send it to the prince.

"One heavy mountain, two heavy mountains, the mountains are far away, the sky is high, the smoke and water are cold, and the acacia maple leaf pill."

Even if we can't be together, it's good to let the prince know about my lovesickness.

As soon as the palace people left, a grandmother entered the hall in a panic and said: "Concubine Niangniang, eldest brother, he suddenly had a high fever, and now he is talking nonsense." ”

This person is the nurse of Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiongying was originally unwell, she should go back to the crown princess, but the princess had just given birth and was already exhausted and fell asleep. It's not good to disturb the prince and Queen Ma during the celebration, the nurse thought about it, so she came to tell Concubine Lu.

Concubine Lu originally wanted to use this excuse to invite the prince to her palace, but the prince didn't know what happened today and didn't pay attention to her, so Concubine Lu also let go.

Concubine Lu asked, "Is it so strict?" Obviously, I just said that I had a fever in the morning, and I didn't think about tea and dinner. ”

The nurse trembled and said: "Children's illness comes quickly, this ...... I didn't expect it to happen suddenly. ”

Concubine Lu has given birth to four children, and it is common for children to be weak and have a fever for some reason, but it is also very fast, so she is not panicked, and said: "That's it, hurry up and take my brand to ask the imperial doctor, and the eldest brother is delicate and expensive, I can't call the shots, you quickly report this matter to the prince and the princess." ”

The nurse was a little embarrassed, "Brother Shui has just been born, and at this time I go to tell my eldest brother that he is sick, will it be inappropriate?" ”

The nurse is timid and afraid of taking responsibility, otherwise she would not have come to Concubine Lu in the morning.

When I heard the word "aquatic", I was angry, this Yao Miaoyi really had some ability, and she actually thought of getting a pregnant woman to give birth underwater. Concubine Lu sneered: "You are the nurse of the eldest brother, if you don't go to tell me, do you want me to drag the sick body to the main hall?" In case the illness is given to the crown princess in confinement, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

The nurse listened to the reason, and hurriedly ran back.

Lu Shi smiled coldly, Crown Princess, this time I saved your life by killing Cheng Cheng halfway. But want to sit in confinement quietly? It's not that simple!
