Chapter 168: Trouble
The Queen Mother has been ill for more than half a month, and the imperial doctor goes to Cining Palace every day to ask for a pulse, and the concubines and concubines of each palace also come on time to ask for peace, and Cining Palace is very lively in the morning.

The queen mother leaned on the warm kang covered with a big red dragon and phoenix auspicious brocade mat, the imperial doctor knelt on the pedal to diagnose her pulse, and the concubine Liu, Shufei Gu, Concubine De Tong and others sat on the Taishi chair in front of the kang and watched with bated voices.
After the imperial doctor finished diagnosing the pulse, Liu Guifei took the lead in asking: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, how is the pulse of the queen mother?" ”
Imperial Physician Zhang bowed down and stood up, and was about to answer, when an attendant came in and said, "The emperor is here!" ”
Liu Guifei and the others hurriedly got up, and saw a man wearing a bright yellow dragon round-necked robe, who strode in, he looked about forty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and was not angry and arrogant.
This person is the Son of Heaven of Dakang, Sikong Yuanshuo.
The crowd saluted in unison.
"Get up!" Sikong Yuanshuo waved his hand and greeted the Queen Mother with a smile, and the Queen Mother hurriedly pointed to the warm kang opposite: "Sit down!" ”
"How is the Queen Mother today?" He sat down and asked, and Tong Qing, the big palace maid of Cining Palace, served tea lightly.
The Queen Mother leaned on the pillow and said with a smile: "The imperial doctor just finished diagnosing the pulse, and before he could speak, you came!" ”
Sikong Yuanshuo looked at Imperial Doctor Zhang.
Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly said respectfully: "The pulse of the Queen Mother has stabilized, and she only needs to recuperate for two more days." ”
Sikong Yuanshuo's expression softened slightly, and said: "Imperial Doctor Zhang has worked hard, and the Queen Mother's illness can be successfully cured thanks to your careful care." ”
"This is all within the minister's responsibility, and I don't dare to be praised by the emperor!"
Sikong Yuanshuo nodded with satisfaction.
Imperial Physician Zhang bowed and retired.
Sikong Yuanshuo asked about the Queen Mother's daily life with concern, and learned that the Queen Mother had a poor appetite recently, and couldn't help but look worried.
Liu Guifei, who was sitting on the side, said: "The concubine often feels bored in her mouth when she is sick, and she can't eat, a few days ago, Yuhan entered the palace to ask for peace, and brought her own hand-made angelica red ginseng bird's nest porridge, saying that it was made according to the recipe in the ancient book, and the concubine felt very good after eating, and today she specially boiled a cup and brought it over for the Queen Mother to taste!" ”
The palace maid standing behind her came out with a red lacquer tray with a porcelain cup with red glaze on a white background.
Liu Guifei stretched out a pair of white and tender soft wattles to take it, walked to the kang like a weak willow supporting the wind, gently put the tray on the kang table, and lifted the lid with her slender white fingers, and a faint fragrance floated out.
"It smells so good." The Queen Mother smiled and bowed, "The concubine has a heart." ”
Liu Guifei pursed her lips and smiled, indescribably delicate and colorful.
Sikong Yuanshuo glanced at her with a look of relief.
Concubine De and Concubine Shu's faces were a little stiff, but they had been standing in the palace for many years, and they had already practiced the kung fu of seven emotions, and they still looked smiling.
Sikong Yuanshuo said: "Queen Mother, didn't you only eat a few bites of breakfast?" Why don't you drink some bird's nest porridge while it's hot! ”
The Queen Mother knew that he was deliberately raising the Liu family, so she smiled and said: "Smelling this fragrance, the mourning family really feels a little hungry." ”
Liu Guifei picked up the silver ivory handle next to the porcelain cup and served the queen mother to drink porridge.
I have to say that this cup of angelica red ginseng bird's nest porridge is really delicious, and the queen mother used a small half cup in a row.
After drinking the porridge, Liu Guifei personally served the Queen Mother to rinse her mouth, her movements were elegant and her expression was respectful, which made Sikong Yuanshuo more satisfied in his eyes.
When the Queen Mother smiled and rewarded Concubine Liu Guifei with a ruby golden hairpin, and when she bent her knees to thank her, Sikong Yuanshuo stretched out his hand to help her.
Liu Guifei raised her eyes and smiled, and stepped back to her place.
"Imperial Grandmother! Imperial Grandmother! Save me! Save me! ”
At this time, a goose-yellow figure rushed in from the outside like a whirlwind, and almost collided head-on with Liu Guifei, Liu Guifei took two steps back sharply with a disgraced face, and was held firmly by Sikong Yuanshuo.
The people in the room also tightened their hearts.
"Changning, when did your reckless temperament change?" Sikong Yuanshuo frowned and scolded, but there was not much anger in his tone, more helplessness.
Princess Sikong Minxi of Changning snuggled up to the Queen Mother's side with her mouth, and shouted "Imperial Grandmother" coquettishly before she drooped her head and saluted to make amends: "The son knows his mistake, please forgive my father......
Sikong Yuanshuo sighed and shook his head, the Queen Mother had already taken Sikong Minxi's hand and asked her to sit beside her, as if she was maintaining.
Liu Guifei hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry, I don't blame the princess just now, it's the concubine herself who didn't stand firm!" ”
Sikong Yuanshuo saw that everyone was looking at him nervously, so he said, "You are all used to her!" "I didn't think about it anymore.
As soon as the atmosphere in the room relaxed, Liu Guifei sat back with palpitations, feeling that there seemed to be some blackness in front of her.
The Queen Mother asked Sikong Minxi: "What happened?" What are you shouting for help for? ”
Changning has always walked sideways in the palace, and even a few princes don't dare to provoke her easily, who will trouble her?
"It's the queen mother, she wants to catch her grandson and go back to confinement!" Sikong Minxi threw herself into the arms of the Queen Mother and cried, "Grandmother Huang, you have to be the master of your grandson!" The grandchildren don't want to be locked up in the house! ”
The Queen Mother hugged her, and her heart was broken by her crying, and she comforted her repeatedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with the imperial grandmother here, I won't let your queen mother shut you up!" "I didn't think to ask the ins and outs of the matter.
Sikong Yuanshuo couldn't help but support his forehead, and said helplessly: "Changning, are you in trouble again?" ”
The queen has always been strict with her daughter, but she will not punish her indiscriminately, she must have caused some trouble, and the queen said that she would be locked up in a fit of anger.
Sikong Minxi raised his face from the arms of the Queen Mother, pouted and glanced at him, but did not answer.
Now Sikong Yuanshuo is even more certain.
"Come!" He pointed to Sikong Minxi's personal palace maid Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao glanced at her princess, but she didn't have the courage to lie in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and stumbled to tell the matter.
It turned out that since Sikong Minxi raced with several princes some time ago, and as a result, after the seventh prince fell off the horse and broke her leg, the queen no longer allowed her to run a horse, and detained her in Kunning Palace, studying, painting, and playing the piano all day long, which made her miserable. Seeing that the wedding of the second prince was approaching, this morning the queen invited Concubine Xian to come over to talk about things, and she was not empty, so she asked the palace maid of Kunning Palace to guard her. Who knew that she actually sneaked out and joined forces with the Eighth and Tenth Princes in the Imperial Garden, and as a result, the pug raised by Concubine Zheng was so frightened that she ran around and knocked down the Thirteenth Prince, who had just learned to walk, and the Thirteenth Prince cried in the Imperial Garden for a full two quarters of an hour...... When the queen learned about this, she was furious and sent a personal palace maid to take her back to Kunning Palace, saying that she would be locked up, and when she heard the news, she hurried to Cining Palace to take refuge.
Knowing what happened, the Queen Mother asked, "How is the thirteenth now?" ”
"The thirteen princes will be fine after crying for a while, and when the slave and maid accompanied the princess over, the thirteen princes were already carried by the nurse to Wang Jieyu's palace."
Wang Jieyu is the biological mother of the Thirteen Princes.
Hearing that the thirteenth prince was fine, the Queen Mother's originally relaxed expression became more peaceful, and she said with a smile: "That's good, child, it's okay to cry, and I'll ask a doctor to come over and take a look!" (To be continued.) )
