New Year's Day

In the second year of Xuanping, it came in the heavy snow.

It was the first New Year of the new emperor's accession to the throne. The shadow of Emperor Xuanhe's death has gradually dissipated. The tense and condensed atmosphere in the palace has also eased a lot with the arrival of the New Year.

Empress Dowager Pei gave an edict and rewarded all the palace people with double shares of the moon. The palace people smiled one by one and were grateful to Dade.

This New Year, Cheng Jinrong and He Qi were unable to return home and spent time in the palace together. Both husband and wife are on errands in front of the palace, and they can see each other every day, and occasionally they can whisper a few words together.

At the great court meeting after the Shangyuan Festival, Emperor Xuanping wore a dragon robe and appeared in the Jinluan Palace.

This is the first official time since Emperor Xuanping ascended the throne. The civil and military officials were full of excitement and knelt down to worship the Son of Heaven together: "Weichen has seen the emperor, and I wish the emperor a healthy dragon and a great Chu country for ten thousand years." ”

The ministers knelt down in a black pressure.

At this time, in the Jinluan Palace, only Emperor Xuanping was standing.

The young Emperor Xuanping's gaze swept over the kneeling courtiers, and a trace of strange excitement and heat surged in his heart.

It turns out that this is the feeling of holding the imperial power and looking down on the ministers.

"All the ministers are flat!" Emperor Xuanping's clear and pleasant voice sounded in the Jinluan Palace. After the ministers knelt down to thank the emperor, they each got up.

The first big meeting of the new year, as usual, is to sing praises of virtue. The courtiers who are qualified to open their mouths praise the benevolence and generosity of the new emperor one by one.

In fact, this year's heavy snow has never been seen before, and all parts of Dachu have been affected by disasters, and many hungry people have frozen to death. Seven or eight counties have been put on the show to ask the imperial court for relief.

These twists and turns were delivered to Emperor Xuanping on the third day of the new year. Emperor Xuanping was anxious and urgently summoned Liang Shangshu and others into the palace to discuss disaster relief.

Liang Shangshu didn't have a good New Year, and he lived in the household department since the third year of junior high school. He led the household department to liquidate the state treasury, allocate rice and grain, and raise disaster relief.

It's just that these things don't have to be discussed at the New Year's court.

After the dissolution of the great dynasty, Emperor Xuanping rewarded the palace banquet of the hundred officials.

Halfway through the palace banquet, Emperor Xuanping, who was pale, took the lead in leaving, and asked the Duke of Wei Guo and the official department to preside over the palace banquet together.

The ministers gestured with their eyebrows, and the bolder ones gathered together and whispered.

"It's only been half a day, and I can't support it. It seems that the emperor's dragon body has not yet been recuperated! ”

"On that day, the emperor had a severe poison attack in his body, and he almost died. Fortunately, Commander He gave the emperor a poison pill in time, and Du Tidian did his best to rescue him, which brought the emperor back from the Yama Palace. However, the emperor also fell ill. Where can it be recuperated in a year and a half. ”

"That's right. Fortunately, the emperor is young, and the days will be very long in the future, so it doesn't hurt to recuperate slowly. ”

"Duti was overworked and suffered a stroke. Now it is Imperial Physician Cheng who is serving in the palace. Cheng Taiyi's medical skills are exquisite, and he is the first person in the world. With her, she will be able to keep the emperor safe and sound. ”

……

At this time, Cheng Jinrong was concentrating on Emperor Xuanping.

Emperor Xuanping's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

Empress Dowager Pei and Empress Liang were on the side, each with a worried face. Especially Empress Liang, who was young and had nothing to do, saw Emperor Xuanping so weak, her eyes were red.

However, Cheng Jinrong is most taboo when he administers needles. On weekdays, Queen Liang has to avoid needles. Today is Queen Liang's insistence, and Cheng Jinrong reluctantly responds.

No matter how panicked and scared Queen Liang was, she had to endure it, and Bei Yan bit her lip into a deep mark. lest a little sound disturb Cheng Jinrong, who was concentrating on the needle.

Half an hour later, Cheng Jinrong finished applying the needles and took off the golden needles one by one. Pick up the handkerchief and wipe the beads of sweat for Emperor Xuanping. As soon as the veil fell on Emperor Xuanping's forehead, Empress Liang couldn't help but say: "Imperial Doctor Cheng, leave this little matter to this palace!" ”

Cheng Jinrong: "......"

Empress Liang is good at everything, but her mind is a little heavy, and she also cares about Emperor Xuanping.

Cheng Jinrong answered yes and got up to get out of the way. Empress Liang quickly sat down, picked up a handkerchief, and slowly wiped the beads of sweat for Emperor Xuanping. The distress and pity in Mei's eyes almost overflowed.

Emperor Xuanping opened his eyes and looked at Empress Liang, whose eyes were red. He smiled weakly and said in a low voice, "Ruyue, don't worry, I'm just a little tired." Just take a break. ”

Tears slipped out of Empress Liang's eyes.

Emperor Xuanping raised his hand with difficulty, and Empress Liang was reluctant to let Emperor Xuanping exert too hard, so she hurriedly wiped her tears with the back of her hand. He held Emperor Xuanping's hand with his other hand.

Cheng Jinrong and Empress Dowager Pei glanced at each other, and withdrew from the dormitory to speak outside the palace with a tacit understanding.

"The queen is careful and thoughtful, with her taking care of the emperor, the mourning family can rest assured." Empress Dowager Pei said this very implicitly. In fact, what I want to express is "in the eyes of my son, there is only a daughter-in-law, where is there still me, a mother-in-law".

Cheng Jinrong smiled and whispered to comfort the lost Empress Dowager Pei: "After the young man marries his daughter-in-law, it is common for him to become closer and closer to his daughter-in-law. ”

"After I got married to He Qi back then, it was the same. Mrs. Tai was also very lost for a while. In the future, the emperor and the queen will have a round house, and the queen mother will give birth to a lively and lovely grandson and granddaughter, and the queen mother will enjoy the joy of teasing her grandson, and then she will have no time to think about this. ”

Empress Dowager Pei was amused and laughed: "The mourning family is also looking forward to this day!" ”

For Empress Dowager Pei, Brother Heng has no blood relationship with her. No matter how much I like Brother Heng, it is also separated by a layer, far less than Ah Yuan Aman.

When Queen Liang gave birth to a child in the future, she was the granddaughter of her in-laws.

As soon as Empress Dowager Pei thought of this, she was a little more tolerant of Queen Liang, and said with a smile: "The queen is really good to the emperor. Their young husband and wife have a good relationship, and the mourning family is also happy to watch. ”

Empress Liang looked at Emperor Xuanping's eyes, and it was the fiery concentration of a woman who loved her husband with all her heart. Emperor Xuanping was also fond of Empress Liang.

Cheng Jinrong echoed with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is true." ”

Empress Dowager Pei asked in a low voice about Emperor Xuanping's physical condition: "...... What is the emperor's body? In the past, Du Tidian had reservations and refused to tell the mourning family truthfully. Jinrong, don't hide it from the mourning family, the mourning family must listen to the truth. ”

Cheng Jinrong sighed secretly in his heart, and told the truth under the gaze of Empress Dowager Pei: "Lord Tidian and I have done our best. It is a great fortune that the emperor's body has recovered to the way it is now. The emperor should not work too hard and bother, and should recuperate in peace. Otherwise, both Shouyuan and the heirs will be affected. ”

Mrs. Pei's color was slightly pale, and her right hand, which was clenched hard, was full of green muscles.

Empress Dowager Pei, who has gone through the vicissitudes of life, is no longer the weak woman who cried at every turn in the past.

Empress Dowager Pei was silent for a moment before she whispered: "This matter, the mourning family can know about it." When the emperor and the queen ask, you can say a word. ”

Cheng Jinrong nodded in response.
