Chapter 48: The Birth of the Nobleman
I got up early in the morning, bathed and dressed up. Tong Jiaguifei's sister is not in good health, so it is stipulated that there is no need to go to ask for peace every day, only seven days in mid-January, and no six days later on the seventh day to ask for peace.
Poetry and poetry and painting hands and feet for me to put on a good rouge gouache, Peiqin holding a plate of ornaments on the side, Yao'er glimpsed the ornaments in this plate, how to choose such a gorgeous today, the plate is shaking is a flamingo, the body is decorated with rubies, the beaded yellow of these temples is very delicate.
"The slave maid saw that the weather was gloomy today, and thought that the little master would use some bright colors to look energetic," Peiqin said.
Yao'er smiled slightly and said: "You are attentive, and suddenly it is a little unaccustomed to being so gorgeous", and said that she picked a pair of tortoiseshell turtles to make magnolia flowers, which are not only in season, but the color is generous and not showy, but it is not simple. Don't have a small silver gilt behind the bun.
"The little master is still so simple, but he seems to be more energetic in this way, and when spring comes, he is bringing those gorgeous things, and he is also pressing the younger generation," Xia Xi said with a smile.
Seeing that Peiqin was unwilling to say something, Sister Min came over with a smile holding Xiaoman's hand at this time.
"My sister is here, that's fine," Yao'er said, and after cleaning up, they left together.
After doing a walk, I came to Jingren Palace after a while, although the weather was cold along the way, fortunately, the snow was slippery for the first two days, even if I didn't dare to let the eunuchs in the palace pour water on the road, it would still freeze in the morning.
At the gate of the palace, I saw Yao'er smiling and being helped across the threshold by Xia Xi: "Sister is here" said that she was like Sister Tong Jia and Sister Huizhu asking for a salute, and suddenly realized that fortunately, because of their high status, they didn't need to salute one by one, they just needed to accept their salutes safely.
"Sister Guifei looks a lot more energetic today" Yao'er looked at Tong Jia, although Concubine Guifei's face was pale, it was better than the white seepage before.
"I've been lying down for a long time, and my body bones are not comfortable, but it's much more comfortable to walk around today, thanks to the Ruoshui girl next to you for letting me walk, otherwise I'm afraid this body bone won't be able to withstand this winter" Coughing as he spoke, Qiuyue handed over the hot water and drank it, which was better.
"Why do you have to say frustrating words" looked at the water she drank: "This tea is not good for the sick body, it is better to drink more boiled water."
Concubine Tong Jia knew that Yao'er cared about her when she heard it, and smiled slightly: "It has only been changed in the past two days, but it is also what Miss Ruoshui said, and the imperial doctor also said that it was good, just by looking at you, you will know that your face is ruddy, and your idea is good."
"Sister, don't look at this small thing on weekdays, pay attention to the accumulation of time, the body is used, sister can keep the body, the fourth elder brother still needs you to watch grow up" Yao'er persuaded.
Hearing this, Concubine Tong Jia seemed to think of the little person of the fourth elder brother, and her heart was not only much softer, but her smile became softer.
During the conversation, most of the concubines were angry, and Concubine Tong Jia said loudly: "But there is still a future."
Qiuyue looked at the concubine and whispered in a low voice, Yao'er looked around, the nobles had not arrived, and the nobles had never been late on weekdays.
"I went to send someone to take a look, and I saw that the nobles didn't arrive in time," said to the concubines: "Although this day is about to start spring, the cold is still there, and the sisters need to wear more clothes."
And they all stood up and bowed down and said yes.
At this time, the little eunuch who was sent stumbled over, Qiu Yue greeted him, heard the eunuch whispering, and the dark mutation hurriedly walked to the concubine's side.
For a while, the concubine was shocked to see Qiu Yue, who had always been steady, and they all whispered to talk about what was going on, only to see Qiu Yue anxiously said to Concubine Tong Jia: "There was an accident on the side of the nobleman, and when I came on the road, I was slipped by a puddle of ice on the ground, but" Qiuyue gritted her teeth: "I'm afraid that the noble person is pregnant."
It was like a stone was put in the calm lake, and the waves were beating for a while, and at this time Jingren Palace exploded, Tong Jia Guifei ignored her physical discomfort and walked over with all the concubines, and sure enough, she saw a pool of blood in the distance on the road, and next to the blood was a piece of ice.
After seeing it, everyone was even more panicked, and walked quickly to the room of the nobleman, and the smell of blood came to the nose, which made people cover their noses and mouths.
At this time, the noble man was already unconscious, and the noble Tong Jia ordered to go to the hall to wait, at this time the emperor was still in the early dynasty, and the queen mother rushed over when she heard the news.
"What is the situation now, why is it that I am pregnant, but the mourning family does not know," the Queen Mother asked.
Concubine Tong Jia hurriedly got up and accused: "The concubine is not well managed, and the noble sister is pregnant but she doesn't know it, and she asks the queen mother to punish her."
The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Tong Jia was already crumbling at the moment, and she couldn't bear to scold and said: "That's it, your body and bones are not good, and you don't have enough energy to manage" turned her head and saw Sister Huizhu: "Since Huizhu is also a noble concubine, and she did well last Chinese New Year's Eve, she will help Concubine Tong Jia in the future, she has a bad body."
The queen mother said this, I think the emperor mentioned it, and it happened to be the right time to give grace permission at this moment.
Concubine Tong Jia thought to herself, even if she has taken care of the fourth elder brother and managed this big palace all these years, she really has more than enough heart but not enough strength, this body may go one day, Concubine Wen and Yao'er are better, and it can be regarded as paying off if she is handed over to her, so there is no need to blame herself so much, so that you can spend more time with the fourth elder brother.
Time passed minute by minute, the hall was silent, and the imperial doctor finally came out under everyone's expectations, saw the queen mother and said: "Back to the queen mother, this little master has stopped bleeding, but the fetus, alas, if the foundation can be maintained well, maybe it can be pregnant again, but the probability is not high."
All the concubines had a pity on their faces after hearing this, but there were a few who really felt sorry for the nobles.
It's just that I was puzzled, and the palace maid next to the noble person said that she didn't know that her master was pregnant, and she didn't even know that she was pregnant, how could others know, if it was bad luck and accidentally slipped, but the palace ordered that the palace was not allowed to pour water and the ground in the palace at ten points in winter, and it was a coincidence that it was not convincing.
"Why don't you wake up when you see the nobles?"
The imperial doctor leaned over and said, "The little master should wake up at this time."
Sure enough, with a "bang", the Queen Mother went in, and after a while, the room came in, and the suppressed cry was so desolate. On the contrary, it is more painful than the heart-rending cry.
The concubines returned to Cining Palace with the Queen Mother, thinking that they wanted to be vigilant, and when all the concubines sat down, Cining Palace became more and more quiet, and the Queen Mother bowed her head at this time and was silent, but she was not angry, but Yao'er knew that this was a precursor to anger.
"Do you all think that the matter of the noble person is an accident" The Queen Mother didn't want to say slowly, but saw that no one spoke: "Or do you want it to be an accident, so you don't have to be held responsible" said loudly and threw the cup in his hand, and the cup fell to the ground but hit the people's psychology.
Many of the concubines have never seen the Queen Mother so angry, and the Queen Mother usually looks gentle in her clothes, but the Queen Mother also came from this palace, how could she not know.
"On weekdays, you have a little fight, the mourning family has never asked, this is the first time that the east to the heir, how to compete for favor and mourning family do not ask, earning favor is your ability, when the mourning family is so confused, who does not step on the ice, but the noble person stepped on, but happened to be pregnant, even the noble person himself did not know that he was pregnant, it can be seen that you have a big ability, eyeliner is quite a lot, but now the mourning family made it clear, the bottom line of the mourning family is the heir, if who moved the heir, don't blame the mourning family to find out in the end, this matter is not over" The queen mother finished speaking.
The underground concubines looked frightened, and they thought back to whether they had done it themselves.
"I am kind to you on weekdays, you are kicking your nose and face, and every morning from tomorrow to the mourning house to ask for peace, this matter will be handed over to Concubine Wen, and Concubine Heping will check, as long as the result is not limited", after a beating, he waved his hand to let the concubines leave.
