Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Crowd Follows the Pure Harem
After Chongzhen left, Zhou Xiaoniang couldn't help but think: "The impeachment of Wei Zhongxian by the courtiers is just the beginning, Wei Zhongxian's business has been deeply rooted for many years, he has just ascended the throne, I don't know how many people are willing to follow him, at this time, if you want to sweep away Wei Zhongxian and his opposition to the party in one fell swoop, it must be very dangerous." ”
Thinking about it, Zhou Xiaoniang was anxious, and she couldn't wait to fly to his side immediately and accompany him as if she had just entered the palace.
She got up, but then thought, "What does he need most at this time?" Ironclad soldiers, but he didn't. Therefore, he must be calm, only calm, he can think, in order to find a solution to Kewei. If we go at this time, not only will it not help him, but it will interfere with his thinking.
Forget it, forget it. But we can't just wait, we have to try to help him. How can I help? Let's not make trouble for him, and order the imperial dining room to take care of his life, isn't that the biggest help? ”
After making up her mind, she called the palace maid, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she went to the imperial dining room and explained it again and again.
When she returned to Kunning Palace, it was late at night, and she told the palace maid to "remember to report the news of the emperor in time", and she realized that her back and legs hurt, so she went to lie on the couch and her clothes, and she was confused for a while.
In the confusion, it seemed that it was spring, there was no wind, the sun was shining warmly, he accompanied her to enjoy the flowers, no, to be precise, he accompanied her and her son. Her son was able to walk on the ground and was chasing butterflies flying by.
Ke Shi and Wei Zhongxian came over holding hands, both of them laughed and groaned, Wei Zhongxian walked over quickly, and Ke Shi went to laugh and tease her son, he and she were happy, just smiled and watched.
Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian took out a rope from his arms and put it on his head, she didn't have time to exclaim, and she heard her son scream, so she hurried to look, but saw that the Ke clan was viciously lifting her son.
Both must be saved, but where is the time? She helplessly went to see which of those pretentious Donglin Party members Wei Zhongxian had become, the Hakka family turned out to be pretended by her father Zhou Kui, and they actually wanted to commit murder like Ke Wei......
She yelled "no" and woke up, her heart still pounding. She gently stroked her chest with her hand and thought, "What is this dream?" How can it be so bizarre and weird? ”
When she was a child, she had heard her mother talk about interpreting dreams, but what her mother said was fragments, and there were so many fragments of her dream that she didn't know how to interpret them for a while.
Just thinking about it, her personal palace maid hurriedly came in and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”
She guessed she must have heard her own screams before coming in, and hurriedly disguised, "When?" ”
She came in only after hearing her shouting that something was wrong, and when she saw that she was fine, she was relieved and said, "Oh my God, you're awake, you know what, you've slept all day and night." ”
She said, "Oh? How did it take so long? Why don't you wake me up? ”
Listening to her words, there was a sense of reproach in her words, and the personal palace maid pretended to exaggerate: "It's still a long time, if the slave maid is like the queen's mother, I'm afraid she won't be able to wake up for three days and three nights." ”
She knew that what she said was true, and after a slight pause, she said, "Don't be poor, tell me quickly, has something happened during this time?" ”
She tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "Well, of course it happened, I don't know if you want to listen to the harem first, or do you want to listen to the emperor first?" ”
"Looking at her like this, nothing big must have happened. Alas, it's all to blame for us that we spoiled them, and they didn't speak properly. However, it's okay that at least they won't hide it from us. It's not easy to do anything, so why bother to see the sky and make it like a saber rattling. Thinking secretly, he teased her: "Whatever you want, you can say whichever side you want first." ”
She said: "Well, but no, the slave doesn't dare to be too selfish, you have to guess which side the queen wants to listen to first." said, pretending to try to guess, but he already said: "Slave and maid guess, the queen only has the emperor in her heart, and she must want to listen to the emperor first, and the slave and maid naturally have to talk about the emperor first."
The emperor is here, there is nothing big happening now. However, the emperor is wise and martial, strategizing, and must have made up his mind, once something happens, it will inevitably be what the emperor wants, that is, the result that the queen wants. ”
When Zhou Xiaoniang heard this, she was relieved and said, "Then let's talk about the harem." ”
The personal palace maid said "good", and said with a straight face: "After the transformation of our Kunning Palace, Ciqing Palace has also learned." Seeing that Ciqing Palace followed and learned, the others also followed, and in such a short period of time, the harem actually changed a lot. ”
"How could it be?" When Zhou Xiaoniang heard this, she secretly screamed "good", but then she thought: "Although this is the result we want, but this is not a long time after all, there will definitely be people who can't bear to be poor and resentful. At this time, the emperor must be fully engrossed and cannot tolerate the slightest distraction. ”
Thinking about it, he got up, went straight to Ciqing Palace to see Zhang, and said, "It's not appropriate, it's very inappropriate." ”
Zhang Hou knew what she was referring to, but he still pretended to be puzzled and said, "What's wrong? ”
She was not polite, and immediately expressed her worries. After speaking, he said: "It's also to blame the little lady for not being thoughtful, the little lady is the head of the harem, the little lady did it, and the imperial sister-in-law also learned, even if the others don't want to, how dare they fall behind?" but the heart must not want it. ”
Zhang Hou thought about it, but Zhang Hou was completely moved by her, and said emotionally: "It is said that this matter should be surrendered, you did not descend, what does this mean, this shows that everyone is voluntary." The imperial sister-in-law didn't dare to guarantee anything from others, Ciqing Palace was indeed like this. ”
"I hope so." Zhou Xiaoniang said, obviously wanting to say more, but her abdomen suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle, and then it hurt so much that she couldn't straighten her waist.
Seeing this, Empress Zhang was in a hurry, and shouted "Quickly pass the imperial doctor, report to the emperor quickly", and came over to help her.
She staggered but stood still, and rushed around to inform the eunuch who was about to inform the emperor and said, "Don't go, you can't tell the emperor about this, and the emperor can't be distracted now." ”
The eunuch didn't know who to listen to, and looked at Zhang Hou hesitantly.
Empress Zhang understood what he meant, and reproached: "Look at what you see, listen to the queen's mother." After speaking, when he saw that the imperial doctor was coming, he ignored the eunuch and hurriedly went to greet the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor didn't speak, he was busy with the consultation, and said: "It's not in the way, it's caused by overwork, just rest more, and eat some tonics." However, from now on, the queen mother will not dare to work anymore, otherwise, it is not a joke to move the fetus. ”
Zhou Xiaoniang's pain was lighter, and when she saw Zhang Hou's solemn face, she joked: "Can you, the imperial doctor, see it accurately?" I've just slept for a day and a night, can it be considered overwork? ”
The imperial doctor said solemnly: "Back to the queen's mother, sleeping is just a way to rest, and real rest does not simply refer to sleeping, but the relaxation of body and mind, and I hope that the queen will cherish the phoenix body." With that, he retreated.
Seeing that he was leaving, Zhang Hou reproached: "Did you hear it, pay attention to rest, it seems that I have to let this imperial doctor follow you." ”
Zhou Xiaoniang smiled: "Oh, I understand, no wonder this imperial doctor came so quickly, it turned out that the imperial sister-in-law had already arranged for him to follow me." As he spoke, he restrained his smile and said seriously: "Isn't it just to have a child, we have seen a lot when we are in the people, is it worth being so solemn?" ”
Zhang Hou said solemnly: "This place is not comparable to the people, you know, our Ming Dynasty, except for you, for so many years, there are only three or five children in the middle palace." This is a major event related to the fortunes of the country, a good omen. ”
Zhou Xiaoniang thought about it too, and sighed: "However, the situation is not clear, how can I settle down?" ”
Zhang Hou said: "How can I support my husband? Keeping his blood and bones is the first thing. From now on, it doesn't matter to you, even if it's a big deal, your only task is to rest. Oh, by the way, don't worry, I'll always be with you. ”
Zhou Xiaoniang stopped talking.
