Chapter 55: Smallpox
Just as the emperor and Yao'er were discussing the incense of flowers and fruits, they heard the voice of the little eunuch outside the door, and the emperor was slightly displeased, but he faintly heard that it was Concubine De, the fetus or something, and then it was announced.
"The slave knocked on the emperor, see Concubine Ping's mother," the emperor didn't finish listening, so he waved his hand impatiently: "What's the matter to report quickly."
The little eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Concubine De was born prematurely, and it started at this time."
Seeing this, Yao'er pretended to be concerned about Xuan Ye and said: "The emperor should go and have a look, Concubine De is pregnant, and the emperor can naturally give birth safely by her sister's side."
Yao'er is quietly taking eye medicine, and now there are more heirs in this palace, and the emperor doesn't go when he gives birth, so hypocritically he really thinks that his body is noble.
After hearing this, the emperor's eyes darkened with displeasure, the people who had children in the harem, I have never been there, this concubine's heart became bigger and bigger, and then suddenly thought of the previous few things plus checking the internal affairs office, even if she wiped it clean, there were clues, and secretly thought about it in her heart, and thought about it to test whether it was the person behind the scenes, but after all, it was not good to invite someone, and the fourth elder brother was still with Concubine Tong Jia, I thought that the concubine was not in good health, if she was ...... in the future. The fourth elder brother also went back, there are many heirs, and the matter of the fourth elder brother still needs to be considered for the examination, looked at Yao'er, thinking that the prince treats this brother on weekdays, and feels more and more that Ping Guifei is a child who can raise children, thinking that Yao'er does not want an heir for the prince, the more I feel sorry for her, and I decided that the heir will not be raised by anyone in the future, so I will hand it over to her, Ping Guifei loves the prince, and naturally she will not look at the prince who teaches her own children is not good for the prince.
Yao'er didn't know that the emperor had this kind of thought at this moment, and she thought that she was also satisfied with Yao'er, and she wondered why the emperor didn't say anything?
"Then I will go, you should be careful with your feet," Xuan Ye said and left, going to Concubine De.
Yao'er had to sit in the palace and wait for the news, thinking that this was the short-lived sixth elder brother.
It wasn't until the evening that the sixth elder brother was born, and the emperor loved the messenger very much, and named him Aixin Jueluo Yinzuo on the spot, so he also took advantage of this place to give the name of the fifth elder brother Aixin Jueluo Yinqi. Concubine Yi vomited blood angrily when she heard the news, she was not used to seeing Concubine De's gentle and petty fake appearance on weekdays, but now she is really not angry, this time the beam is getting bigger.
"The emperor is really so happy," Yao'er asked.
Xia Xi thought for a while and said: "It's not all, giving birth to a child is a matter of time, and it is necessary to preserve the body, it is also a coincidence that the emperor just went, Concubine De Niangniang shouted loudly, and it became more and more pitiful to hear, the emperor thought that he had been in for a long time, so he asked the people around him how long it had been launched, and the master knew how to answer."
Seeing Xia Xi buying a lawsuit there, he smiled in his heart: "Naturally, I just entered the delivery room not long ago."
Xia Xi smiled slightly: "The little lord is smart, the palace maid replied in less than a quarter of an hour, this woman gave birth to a child, who doesn't know how to save the body, but she shouted like this, which is pitiful."
"Also, during the period, Concubine Hui Niangniang cried beside the emperor, saying that she thought of the scene when she gave birth to the eldest brother, and now the eldest brother is so old" Shiyu gloated.
Yao'er saw Shiyu's gloating look and said: "Next, did the emperor go to Concubine Hui's palace and let Concubine De steal chickens and rice."
Hearing the poetry here, his eyes were shining: "No, master, the palace maids around Concubine De have changed their faces."
It turned out that when the emperor got there, he heard the so-called pitiful voice of Concubine De, the emperor once saw that the queen had no sound for a long time after the birth of the Yuan Dynasty, and even if there was a suppressed voice in the later period, this had asked the people around him, only to know that women gave birth to children and burst out of the body, today the emperor can not be angry when he sees this, if he really used a lot of strength in the early stage of Concubine De, she was powerless when she gave birth to a child, and she tossed for a while before she was born, and the child was nourished in the mother's body, but her face was a little blue after holding it for a long time, I was angry in my heart and didn't take my heirs seriously, it happened that Concubine Hui choked on the side, knowing that it was because of the eldest brother's matter, and she also had a pity in her heart, the first few heirs couldn't survive back then, and it was easy to spend a lot of feelings on the eldest brother when he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to support him, which is that even if the eldest brother is not friendly to Baocheng, as long as there is no big fault, he will turn a blind eye.
The emperor followed Concubine Hui's words and went to Concubine Hui.
"Don't be happy, be careful not to let people look at it, don't forget that you haven't found the person behind Peiqin yet," Yao'er scolded.
The poem smiled and stopped, but still couldn't stop the joy, Yao'er ordered: "Shut them down, the emperor won't come tonight", so he washed and took a book of poems on the bed, Xia Xi lit a candle and walked over: "Little master, look carefully, look less when it's dark."
"I had nothing to do, so I found some books to send away, and by the way, you instructed Shiyun to buy some biographies of his own country when he sent money, or some missionary books, which are not in our language."
Blow out the lamp, put down the book, the moonlight spilled in through the window, found that there was no sleepiness and got up, walked out of the door, the sun and the moon on the seat, the front of the hall was dark and smoky, the following line of small characters, far away from it is not so clear, moved to this Yanxi Palace has not observed much of the scenery, but it is a pity that the osmanthus in the Jingyang Palace, fortunately it is a study and no one lives, there are small saplings in a garden next to them, I wonder that this Yanxi Palace has been built for a long time, if how to plant the small saplings, this surprised to go over there, But he didn't expect to alarm the little eunuch who was keeping vigil.
"Who?" The eunuch heard the sound and shouted, but found that it was the master who was busy with the sin: "The slave did not see the master, and the slave deserved death."
Yao'er put her fingers to her mouth and gently "voided" her voice, and said in a low voice: "If you can't sleep at night, come and see the scenery, don't wake them up loudly."
The little eunuch suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, and his honest appearance was really cute, so he asked, "What is your name and where is your home?"
"The size of the slave is an orphan, I don't know whose name is and where he lives," he said and scratched his cheeks awkwardly: "The slave has always followed."
Wu Qi's father-in-law followed his father-in-law's surname, called Liu Zhong, and the big guys were called slaves and little Liu father-in-law", saying with a shy look.
"Although it's spring, but it's cold at night, this quilt is too little, do you all cover so few quilts every day" Yao'er saw Xiao Liu's father-in-law, but spread this straw mat underground, and there were only two thin futons on the mat.
Xiao Liu's father-in-law replied gratefully: "These are okay, because it is cold in winter, so I don't dare to cover it too thick in the usual season, I am afraid that I can't stand it, and I only replaced the quilt with a thin one in the spring a few days ago, and I don't feel cold."
It's cold, and it's used to being cold, Yao'er stared at the sapling and didn't make a sound but sighed slightly, and Xiao Liu's father-in-law saw it and said: "I know that the master likes the taste of osmanthus, and the master of the poetry and painting sisters and a few of their begging servants found it, and within a few days of planting, the master can smell the fragrance of osmanthus in the season."
"You have a heart" Yao'er's heart was very warm, there were still people around her in this indifferent palace who were still concerned about why she was not satisfied, and suddenly she had an extra cloak on her body, but she saw that Xia Xi was awakened, and when she saw Yao'er outside, she found a cloak and draped it over her shoulders.
"But it woke you up," Yao'er said.
"The slave and maid's light sleep is not in the way, but the master is careful of catching a cold, go back to the house" Xia Xi persuaded.
Yao'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes looked at the osmanthus sapling that had not yet grown, Xia Xi was happy when she saw her master, and helped Yao'er into the house.
"I remember that we have a few sets of old bedding in the warehouse, take them down and send them to Xiao Liu's father-in-law, the bedding is too thin, it really doesn't look good, those two osmanthus trees, you have a heart, and the people of Ming Yanxi Palace will reward two hanging money" Yao'er said to Xia Xi.
Xia Xi smiled slightly when he heard this, and seemed to sigh: "The names of the minions in the palace are not worth much, the futon that the master sees is quite good, and some of the winter days in the palace are not as good as this, it is their blessing to meet the master, I only hope they can be grateful."
Yao'er knew that Xia Xi was talking about Peiqin, and comforted: "How can everyone be good, otherwise those prefects and ministers will do anything, as long as the people around them are good, those villains don't have to pay attention to it and don't make mistakes."
Then he turned off the lights again and fell asleep.
But this night's sleep was extremely unstable, and I was always uncomfortable in my heart, and when I got up in the morning, I was startled by the poems and paintings, and I was busy calling the imperial doctor to be stopped by Yao'er.
"I just didn't sleep well last night, it's nothing, just call Shiyan to come," Yao'er stopped and said.
Shiyan checked the pulse and said: "Fortunately, it's not a big deal, it's just that the master is not resting well, the slave and maid prescribe some soothing medicine, and the master can drink some for three or five days."
Suddenly, a little eunuch ran into the room in a panic, knelt down with a "plop" and said, "Niangniang, the prince and the princess...... The crown prince and princess he ......". Yao'er saw that it was the little eunuch beside the prince, and the sense of ominousness in her heart became more and more intense, and she hurriedly scolded loudly: "Tell me what's wrong with Princess Taizihe."
"The prince and princess have a fever this morning, like ...... It's like smallpox," the little eunuch said through gritted teeth.
When Yao'er heard this, her mind was blank, her eyes were dizzy, and she shook her □, and then she ran over quickly with her pot-bottomed shoes, but was stopped in front of the door of the prince and princess.
"Let this palace in, do you want to die," Yao'er reprimanded angrily.
The guard was embarrassed and said: "Guifei Niangniang, the emperor ordered no one to enter, especially Niangniang."
At this time, Sister Huizhu heard the news and rushed to the ground: "Yao'er, you heard my sister say that the imperial doctor has gone in, and the prince and princess will be fine, you must know that it is smallpox, and you have not had smallpox, so you can't go in."
"That's the princess of Taizihe, the only bloodline of my sister, how can I not be in a hurry, I can't wait to accept it on my behalf" Yao'er cried, and suddenly thought of the emperor and said: "I'll go and ask the emperor."
"Yao'er, Yao'er" Huizhu couldn't shout at her, so she had to watch her run to the Qianqing Palace, but she hoped that the emperor wouldn't agree.
