Chapter 54: Withering

Out of the New Year, Feng Qing's body always felt lazy, and she didn't have much appetite for eating, and even Yuerong made her favorite chicken shredded white fungus, osmanthus fish sticks and jade shoots bracken for her weekdays, and she just put aside her chopsticks after a few bites.

On this day, taking advantage of Liu Fu's nap, Yue Rong came to Feng Qing's living room to visit her, but she never thought that Feng Qing hadn't gotten up from her nap, only Coral was doing needlework in the side hall. Seeing Yuerong's visit, Coral put down the work in his hand and stepped forward to greet enthusiastically: "Mama Yue is here!" The princess hasn't woken up yet, so sit down for a while, and I'll pour you a cup of tea. ”

"Don't bother, Coral girl, you're busy, I'm not thirsty." Yuerong sat on a chair and waited.

"No trouble, no trouble, the princess has been very sleepy lately, and I don't have anything to do, so I'm very idle." Coral still got up and poured tea for Yuerong, who politely took it. Yue Rong was worried about Feng Qing's body, so she asked Coral about Feng Qing's recent health, and learned from Coral that Feng Qing's lethargy only appeared in the past three or five days. Yue Rong had another heart, and casually asked Feng Qing if Feng Qing's monthly letter came this month? Coral said it was half a month late and hadn't come yet. Hearing this, the experienced Yue Rong could probably conclude that Feng Qing was probably pregnant. Yue Rong was happy but not happy, she just sat quietly, chatting with Coral and waiting for Feng Qing to wake up.

An hour later, Feng Qing finally woke up. The sleepy-eyed Feng Qing saw that Yue Rong immediately came to her senses, like a happy bird pounced into the arms of the nurse, Yue Rong touched her hair lovingly, this girl doll who was still a child did not know that she was also about to become a mother.

"Miss Sango, can you talk to Miss alone next?" As soon as Yue Rong said this, Coral knew that she must have something important to say to the princess, so she avoided it with interest.

"What does Mama want to tell me? Even corals are not there? She has long regarded Coral as a confidant, and she almost never shies away from it.

"Miss, Mama asked you, did you not arrive half a month late? Feeling lazy and drowsy lately? Poor appetite? "Just now she had a vague plan in her mind, so there are some things that the less people know, the better.

"Yes, I must have eaten too much greasy during the Chinese New Year, and now I feel sick to my stomach when I smell the meat. Should I see a doctor? ”

"It's time to find a doctor, but it's not about the stomach, it's about ......" Yue Rong pointed to Feng Qing's lower abdomen, Feng Qing reacted immediately, and her mouth grew in disbelief: "Could it be ......" Seeing that Yue Rong nodded, Feng Qing almost cried with joy, and she confirmed again and again in disbelief: "Really? Do I really have it? I can be bad boy too?! ”

"I don't know until the doctor has seen it. However, according to the experience of slaves, eight or nine are not far from ten. She still has this confidence.

"Great! I'll send the doctor. As soon as Feng Qing was excited, she immediately called Coral to ask for a doctor.

"Miss, wait, this matter should not be publicized, especially if you can't let the prince know about it for the time being." Yuerong's plan can't have King Jin's intervention.

Why is that? I'm pregnant, this is a happy event, and the prince will be very happy to know it. Feng Qing was puzzled.

"Happy but embarrassed...... He will be embarrassed about what to do with Liufu's children. Yue Rong concisely explained the benefits and disadvantages to Feng Qing, Feng Qing suddenly realized and asked Yue Rong's opinion: "Then what should I do according to Mama's opinion?" There was a hint of fierceness in Yue Rong's eyes, and she said categorically: "Miss is pregnant with her son-in-law, and Liu Fu's child has no point to continue to exist, and it must be eliminated!" "Not only do you want to get rid of the evil seeds, but Liu Fu can't keep them, it's best to have a corpse and two lives to save trouble.

So Feng Qing obeyed Yue Rong's arrangement and made an excuse to go back to the Guogong Mansion again, but Yue Rong stayed. Feng Qing, who returned to her parents' home, was diagnosed with pregnancy, but temporarily concealed the truth from Duan Yingjin, and waited anxiously at home for Yuerong's "good news".

Yue Rong did not disappoint her, on the tenth day of Feng Qing's return to the mansion, Yue Rong finally found an opportunity to do something in Liu Fu's fetal pills, causing Liu Fu, who was already unstable, to slip the tire. It's just that this move made Duan Yingjin angry, and Yuerong, who was in charge of taking care of her, was locked up for trial, and Feng Qing immediately returned home when she heard the news.

Just when Duan Yingjin was angry and was about to dispose of Yuerong, Feng Qing acted in a fainting scene as planned, and invited the doctor to take a look but "accidentally" diagnosed the happy pulse, Duan Yingjin was overjoyed, and immediately threw Liu Fu's miscarriage out of the clouds. With a child to rely on, Feng Qing interceded for Yuerong, and even proposed to leave Liu Fu with a cheap life to make up for Yuerong's mistakes, Duan Yingjin naturally did everything.

Liu Fu needed incense for three days after giving birth to get rid of the bloody evil in the house, Duan Yingjin accompanied Feng Qing to raise the fetus flawlessly, and Ling Xuan's affairs were handed over to his subordinates. Unexpectedly, three days later, Liu Fu still had lochia and died of excessive blood loss. Duan Yingjin knew about this, but she just muttered for a while, and then she did what she should do as usual, as if she was an irrelevant person who died, and she had no intention of tracking it down.

Probably no one would have guessed that the "delicate flower" in Ling Xuan was because of the extra purple fragrance in the incense [ "Shu Wei Ji" records that purple fragrance is also called thyme. ] just withered prematurely.

Liu Fu's death did not stir up a wave in the Jin Palace, in fact, it is conceivable that it is not easy for a mere grasshopper to shake the big tree? The women in the palace are no different from the women in the harem, and if you want to get on the throne, you must step on the bones of others and climb up step by step. Of course, there are many examples of people like Liu Fu and Huanyue who don't know the height of the sky and want to climb to a high position with a humble body, but it's a pity that almost all of these people are broken to pieces.

At the beginning of the ninth year of Shunjing, several happy things were ushered in in the royal family. Except for Yingji, who was found to be pregnant at the end of the previous year, Princess Jin was diagnosed with her first child since she got married in February this year; At the beginning of March, Tian Guiren found out that she was two months pregnant, and the emperor promoted her to the position as soon as he was happy; In fact, there is another person who was also conceived in March, but the time is still short and has not yet been discovered, only to add a surprise to the emperor in a month or two, this concubine is the most prominent lotus concubine left in the group of show girls who entered the palace in the seventh year of Shunjing.

In such a jubilant atmosphere, some people began to feel uneasy in their hearts, and they had to worry about whether these pregnant concubines would give birth to the prince and take away their already pitiful grace; Others still don't give up trying to figure out how to take someone else's child for themselves or simply prevent the birth of a child...... However, all these disputes are no longer relevant to Lihuadian, the empty lady concubine.

Zheng Jiye's condition is the most difficult to recover every year when the spring is cold, and her cough seems to be worse than before these days. The decoction was poured bowl by bowl, but she could still feel that her body was not as good as day by day, she herself did not expect to be cured for a long time, she only hoped that God would have mercy and let her survive for a longer time, and she also wanted to see her Lingyu grow up with her own eyes.

The weather was fine today, and the snow had almost melted all winter, and Zheng Jiye suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. She had been in the dormitory for four or five months without going out, and her bones were about to grow moldy. The reason why she doesn't go out in winter is that the snow is slippery and her mobility is difficult, and it is not good for her illness; Then there is the white expanse everywhere in winter, and she always feels dazzling when she looks at it, so she also reduces her activities outdoors.

"Mu Zhu, come and wash and change clothes for the palace." Zheng Jiye propped herself up and leaned against the head of the bed, and Mu Zhu, who was serving medicine in the side hall, brought a bowl into Zheng Jiye's bedroom.

"Mother, are you uncomfortable in your bedclothes? Drink the medicine first, and then the slave will give you another one? Mu Zhu served Zheng Ji to take the medicine at night, and turned around to go to the closet to get the bedclothes.

"Mu Zhu, this palace doesn't want bed clothes, take that plain twisted gold and silver thread slippery silk brocade robe. Hongu is going out. After taking the medicine, Zheng Jiye felt a little better, and she should be able to support her to leave the bed for a few hours.

"Mother's going out? However, your body ...... "Mu Zhu couldn't help but worry about what would happen, because spring was the season when Zheng Ji had the most frequent attacks at night.

"It's okay, I feel better after taking the medicine. Hongu hasn't been out for a long time, and I want to go out and get some fresh air. Zheng Jiye has made up her mind, and if she doesn't listen to Mu Zhu's persuasion, she must go to a place outside the Lihua Palace. Mu Zhu had no choice but to serve Zheng Ji to freshen up and change clothes at night, and before going out, he specially put on a cloak of emerald brocade and feather satin for her, and reminded: "Niangniang put on a cloak, although the weather is getting warmer, but your body is weak and can't blow the wind, so let's wear more." Zheng Jiye patted Mu Zhu's hand to tie the cloak strap for her to express her gratitude.

Mu Zhu helped Zheng Jiye out of Lihua Palace, and first walked around the nearby garden, but Zheng Jiye seemed to be unsatisfied and wanted to go further. So Mu Zhu proposed: "Then why don't we go to Concubine De's Jingyi Palace to sit?" You can also visit the princess by the way. ”

At first, Zheng Jiye was also very moved by this proposal, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it. The emperor didn't like her frequent contact with Lingyu, and Lingyu was not very close to her, and on the day of Lingyu's birthday on the third day of March, the emperor allowed her to accompany her daughter for a day, and now she was afraid of upsetting the emperor when she met again. So Zheng Ji turned his head and walked slowly in the opposite direction of Jingyi Palace, explaining to Mu Zhu as he walked: "The illness in this palace has worsened recently, and I am afraid that I will give the princess the sickness, so I should not go." You accompany the palace to the Fahua Hall for a walk, and the palace wants to pray for the princess to light an incense tower. ”

In previous years, Zheng Ji nightclub lit an incense tower for her daughter on Lingyu's birthday, praying that the gods would bless the princess with good health and good fortune. Because Zheng Ji stayed with her daughter all day on the third day of March this year, she had no time to go to the Fahua Palace, so she wanted to make up for it today.

Mu Zhu obeyed the order and helped Zheng Ji to come to the Fahua Hall in a stop-and-go manner. As soon as the two of them entered the hall, they saw a flawless real person in a pure white robe meditating with his eyes closed, muttering something silently in his mouth, showing the posture of a fairy wind and bones. Flawless has the permission of the first emperor, even if you see the emperor, you don't need to salute, let alone a concubine? Therefore, the arrival of the concubine's master and servant does not affect the flawless.

Zheng Ji didn't care about flawlessness at night, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue to pray and light incense. Mu Zhu is not as good-tempered as Zheng Jiye, and sneers at the flawlessness of Buddha and Buddha. At the beginning, the first emperor gave the identity of Daogu because there was no need to shave the degree to facilitate the future return to the world, in fact, the Fahua Hall was dedicated to the Buddhist gods. This flawless is even more maverick, actually practicing Buddhism and Taoism, as long as she is interested, she doesn't care whether she collides or not. Mu Zhu got closer, and he heard flawlessly reciting the "Three Returns and Five Precepts, Compassion and Aversion to the Merit Sutra" [one of the classic works of Buddhism. Included in the Qianlong Tripitaka "Hinayana Ahambe". ], Taoist Aunt Zen? It's unseen and unheard!
