Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Princesses
Jia Nanfeng's two unmarried princesses both lived in a remote courtyard on the west side of the palace, far away from the Taiji Hall and the Xianyang Palace. Yang Xianrong sat in a warm sedan chair, carried by four people, and walked for nearly half an hour to arrive, except for the reason for the slippery road, it was really too far here.
The whole courtyard was empty, the thick snow was uncleaned, and no one was on duty, Yang Xianrong glanced at Su Chen, and Su Chen walked to the main hall. Dust accumulated everywhere in the main hall, as if no one had come for a long time, she spared a circle inside and did not find anyone, so she walked to the dormitory, just arrived at the door, suddenly a timid little girl came out, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you looking for?" ”
Su Chen glanced at the little girl, who looked like she was in her teens, with a yellow face and thin muscles, a patched cotton suit loosely on her body, two hands in her sleeves, and two feet tightly together. Su Chen sighed secretly and said, "The queen mother has arrived, you can come out and pick it up." ”
"Emperor, Queen Mother?" The girl showed a look of confusion on her face, and suddenly rushed into the dormitory with joy, shouting: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Queen Mother is back." ”
Su Chen knew that this little girl had misunderstood, thinking that Jia Nanfeng was back, could it be that the news here was so closed, and he didn't even know that Jia Nanfeng had been dead for a long time? After a while, another girl came out of the house, although she was dressed a little downward, but she was obviously well-educated, and she had a nobility that could not be ignored.
Su Chen knew that this must be one of the princesses, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Slave Su Chen, the female official next to the queen's mother, please say hello to the princess." ”
The princess glanced at Su Chen up and down, shook her head and said to the girl next to her who still had joy on her face: "Look, it's not the queen mother, it's the new queen." ”
The little girl's eyes immediately turned red, and for fear of being rude, she quickly wiped her face with her sleeve before the tears flowed. The princess helped Su Chen up and said slowly, "Take me to see the queen." ”
Out of the door, Yang Xianrong had already stood at the door, the princess looked at the queen who was about the same age as herself, sneered, and said: "Such a young and beautiful, thinking that the father has forgotten the queen mother who has worked hard for him, the nature of a man is to like the new and hate the old, even if he is a fool." ”
Yang Xianrong smiled: "It was not the emperor who abolished your mother, and it was not the emperor who moved you into this place." ”
"So what?" The princess snorted coldly: "He doesn't remember that he has two daughters, does he?" ”
"Does it matter if he remembers?" Yang Xian's face did not change, and there was still that smile on his face: "Isn't it important that I remember?" ”
The princess's expression changed, it seems that the new queen came with good intentions, although I don't know what the conditions behind it are, but as long as she is kind enough, she has been locked up here for two years, life is better than death, as long as she can go out, as long as the new queen can let her out, she is willing to agree to any conditions.
The princess bent her knees, gave a big salute to the sheep, and said, "Sima Xuanhua, the princess of Hongnong County, is greeting the queen." ”
This kneeling really shocked Yang Xianrong, this princess of Hongnong County ranked third, is Jia Nanfeng's favorite princess, since she was a child, she has been rude and willful, saying nothing, and now she does not hesitate to kneel in this snow for the sake of the opportunity, begging for a person who occupies her mother's position, and they all say that creation makes people, and it can really change people beyond recognition.
Yang Xianrong hurriedly helped Sima Xuanhua up and asked, "Where is the second princess?" ”
"Please come with me." Sima Xuanhua stepped sideways and made a "please" gesture.
The dormitory was dark and damp, there was not even a brazier, and there was a musty smell, and there was nothing in the hall except a small table and a large bed. There was a person lying on the bed, and there was a person kneeling next to the bed, and the one lying down should be Princess Shiping, Her Royal Highness the Second Princess.
The sheep offered to the previous one
Look, the princess had a yellow complexion and was swollen, and she was obviously sick for a long time.
When Sima Xuanhua saw his sister like this, tears fell: "As long as you can save my sister out and find a doctor to treat her, you want me to be a cow and a horse, and I have no regrets." ”
It turned out that Sima Xuanhua saluted the sheep so happily because of her sister, the two sisters grew up together since childhood, because Jia Nanfeng was partial to the third child everywhere, and the two princesses developed a gentle temperament and were very good to their sister. Since the two moved to this residence, it was also my sister who tried her best to protect her sister, and she went around asking for something to eat, and she went around asking for something, and then she got sick, and day by day, Sima Xuanhua begged everyone who could ask for a doctor, but no doctor was willing to come, at that time, she swore that as long as she could save her sister, no matter who it was, it was her Sima Xuanhua's benefactor, but she never expected that it was the new queen of the Jin Dynasty who came to save them.
"You are His Majesty's flesh and blood," Yang Xianrong said: "I locked you up here because he was deceived by traitors, and now that Sima Lun has fallen, the new auxiliary Sima doesn't ask too much about the affairs of the palace, you can rest assured that you will go out with me, and then I will make arrangements for you." ”
Sima Xuanhua immediately knelt on the ground and thanked the sheep for his kindness.
Yang Xianrong returned to the Xianyang Palace and immediately let people clean up the Changle Palace, Sima Xuanhua was unwilling to part with his sister, so Yang Xianrong let the two still live in one place, this Changle Palace is not far from the Xianyang Palace, and it is convenient to take care of it if there is something in the future.
Sun listened to her daughter tell her what happened to the two princesses, sighed repeatedly, and hugged Xiao Nian'er tightly, as if she was afraid that her beloved granddaughter would be persecuted like this in the next second.
After the two princesses settled down, Yang Xianrong immediately sent the imperial doctor to treat Princess Shiping, and the imperial doctor carefully gave Princess Shiping a pulse, and asked the third princess in detail about her illness, and finally sighed and said: "The princess is pale and yellow, which is caused by jaundice, abdominal distension and large body, and she has been sick for a long time." ”
"Yes," the third princess hurriedly said, "and ask the doctor to save my sister's life." ”
The Imperial Physician sighed: "Now I can only prescribe a prescription to promote blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, and let the princess take it first, but," the Imperial Doctor shook his head: "It's just a matter of delaying some time." ”
When the third princess heard this, she immediately burst into tears, in fact, she knew in her heart that her sister's appearance was mostly useless, but she was unwilling, and she had to wait for the imperial doctor to say it before she was willing to believe it.
"That's the case," Yang Xianrong persuaded with good words: "In the last few days, you will accompany your sister, and if she has any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell me, and I will find a way." ”
Hearing this, the third princess cried bitterly, she grabbed Yang Xianrong's sleeve, sobbed, and said, "Why are you, why didn't you take us out earlier, so that you could give my sister a chance." ”
Earlier? The earlier sheep sacrificed themselves and could not protect themselves, and then they became pregnant with a child, and they had no time to take care of anything else. Despite this, Yang Xianrong always had a trace of guilt, she ordered to go down, the good things in the palace should be taken to Changle Palace as much as possible, and the two princesses would make up for what they lacked, regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation, they could not be wronged.
Later, Yang Xianrong took Sima Zhen to Changle Palace, only saying that there was a gift for His Majesty, and did not mention the matter of the two princesses, so when Sima Zhen saw Sima Xuanhua, he was stunned for a long time, and then rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then shouted in surprise: "It's Xuanhua, it's my Xuanhua." ”
Sima Xuanhua looked at this extremely familiar and unfamiliar father, not knowing whether to hate him or forget the past, she slowly knelt on the ground, saluted Sima Zhen, and called "Father".
Sima Zhen cried and picked up his daughter, hugged her in his arms, and said: "You are really ruthless, you have to keep filial piety for your mother, and you don't have to run outside the palace for two years and not come back, but you know that your father thinks of you very much." ”
Sima
Xuanhua was stunned, and Yang Xianrong hurriedly explained: "Sima Lun deceived His Majesty, saying that the two princesses were filial piety for Empress Jia for three years and moved to live outside the palace. ”
"Where's your sister?" Sima Zhen asked wiping tears from his eyes.
Sima Xuanhua helped Sima Zhen to his sister's bed, the second princess was just awake, and when she saw her father coming, she was also very excited, struggling to get up. But her sick appearance frightened Sima Zhen, he didn't dare to approach her, just stood in the distance and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The second princess is sick." Yang Xianrong hugged Sima Zhen and walked towards the bed step by step.
Sima Zhen began to cry again.
"Your Majesty knows," Yang Xianrong said faintly: "The two princesses have never left the palace, but were imprisoned in the palace by Sima Lun and others, and the food is the worst meal in the palace, and there is no meal, and they have not been given a new dress to wear, and now in the cold winter, the palace where the two princesses live does not even have a charcoal fire, and several people rely on two quilts to keep warm." Yang Xianrong knelt on the ground as he spoke, and said, "Jin Zhi Yuye has been so reprimanded, Sima Lun has never put His Majesty in his eyes. ”
When Sima Zhen learned the truth, he was so angry that he screamed, but it was already like this, Sima Lun was dead, and he couldn't blame him. He is very grateful to the sheep for sacrificing his face and saving his two daughters from fire and water, and he is a truly good person, so he passed down the decree that the queen should decide the big and small things in the harem.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are grateful, but the King of Qi is ......," Yang Xianrong asked with anxiety.
"It's not in the way, he can't participate in the affairs of the harem." Sima Zhen comforted Yang Xianrong: "You can relax." ”
After a few days, Princess Xu Shiping was well taken care of, and the medicine was taken on time every day, and her complexion was much better than the day she first came out, and her body was not as swollen as it was then. She didn't know exactly what happened when she came out, so after she was in better spirits, she pulled Sima Xuanhua and eagerly asked about the cause and effect of all this.
Sima Xuanhua didn't hide it from his sister, and told her that it was Yang Xianrong who found them first, "I just want to come out, find someone to treat you, and I admit the rest of the things." ”
Although Princess Shiping has a soft temperament, she is also a smart person, and she asked worriedly, "Did she mention what you want to help do?" If there is anything that costs my life, I would rather not cure it, and I will not push you into the pit of fire. ”
"I don't know, I asked her," Sima Xuanhua said, "She only said that I should accompany you well and let you take good care of your body, and the rest of the things will be talked about later." ”
Princess Shiping sighed: "This person is not very old, and his mind is so deep, if you follow her, I don't know whether I should feel at ease." ”
Sima Xuanhua smiled and took his sister's hand: "Then don't you get better quickly, help me keep an eye on that person." ”
Princess Shiping smiled dotingly and scratched Sima Xuanhua's nose: "Naughty." ”
"Sister, that Queen Sheep has given birth to a daughter," Sima Xuanhua said: "I have been to see that child, she is extremely beautiful, with her mother, I thought about it, maybe Queen Sheep thought of us when she saw her daughter, and she was afraid that her daughter would follow our old path, so she wanted to make some good karma and pave the way for her daughter's future." ”
"No matter what," Princess Shiping reminded earnestly, "she is an outsider after all, you can't believe her like I believe, if there is really something dangerous for you to do, you must have a heart, don't use your life to make a wedding dress for her." ”
"Sister," Sima Xuanhua was a little dissatisfied: "What are you talking about?" Disgusted with me, don't want to protect me? ”
"How can it?" Princess Shiping smiled: "As long as I live, I will protect you." ”
"Then you're going to have to live a long life." Sima Xuanhua rolled into Princess Shiping's arms: "I'm so worry-free." ”
Princess Shiping looked at her sister and smiled, both with relief and with bitterness. 2k reading web
