Because the dying Lin Ruhai took refuge in Emperor Zhengxi earlier than the time when he went to Jia's house to pick up Daiyu, when Jia Lian sent Daiyu to Yangzhou, and Emperor Zhengxi's people had not yet come, Lin Jin complained that his movements were slow. For some reason, she thought that Emperor Zhengxi didn't believe in Lin Ruhai, so she had to carefully check the internal accounts of the salt affairs he sent, and verify the authenticity before making a move; In addition, because he has to hide from other forces, his talent will be later than Jia Lian and his party.

It can't be said that Lin Jin's guess is unreasonable, but she guessed the main reason wrong. The main reason why Emperor Zhengxi's people came late was that he had chickenpox during that time. Most of the symptoms occur in early childhood, but adults can develop symptoms that are more severe and acute than those of children. Fortunately, when Emperor Zhengxi became ill, he was hunting in Xishan, so as long as Xishan was controlled, not only could the infection be controlled, but the news of his illness could be blocked.

It's just that Emperor Zhengxi was born with this disease that can kill people after being contagious, and the people who serve him must be carefully selected, and the most important thing is that people are reliable. After all, if he didn't serve carefully, or if there was a little mistake when boiling medicine, it might affect his condition; And people must be strict-mouthed, when the emperor is still there, and there are brothers on the side who are eyeing the throne, the news of his illness must not be spread, and those spies in Xishan must not know.

People are afraid of death, after picking the eunuchs and palace maids who went to serve Emperor Zhengxi died one after another, other palace maids and eunuchs in order to avoid this errand, they couldn't help but do their best, digging holes and stealing holes to find a way, so as not to let themselves be chosen. This kind of "disloyalty" naturally can't be chosen, and at this time, she took the initiative to stand up and lied that when she was young, she had already had chickenpox, and she was not afraid of infection, so she recommended herself and wanted to take care of the emperor's Yuan Chun.

Under the careful care of the imperial doctors, the eunuchs and palace maids who served him, as well as the perseverance of Emperor Zhengxi to survive, all his chickenpox came out, so he was quickly cured. After recovering from his illness, Emperor Zhengxi, who returned to the palace, naturally wanted to reward the meritorious personnel this time, so Yuan Chun once again came into his sight.

Emperor Zhengxi had every opportunity, although he said that he would reward her because of Yuanchun's meritorious service and the queen last time, but in the end, Yuanchun's name was not in the list of harem women promoted by the queen, and he didn't care, not that he didn't notice, but he didn't remember Yuanchun at all.

However, he didn't remember Yuan Chun, it didn't mean that the queen didn't remember, so when he heard that Emperor Zhengxi wanted to give Yuan Chun a high position, he interrupted him with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines don't approve of Your Majesty's reward for Yuan Chun, but that this Yuan Chun and Concubine Zhen Gui have a very close relationship, so this time she has made great contributions and really deserves to be rewarded, so she can be crowned with Jin, but it is not suitable to seal it too high."

Last time, the emperor and his nineteenth brother Weifu went to Jiangnan, and this Yuanchun found the spies planted in the palace by Prince Zhongyong, who were watching the traces of the emperor in the palace, so he made a contribution. Later, His Majesty had said to his concubines that he would reward Yuan Chun, but let the concubines check her words, deeds and relationships in the palace to see if she could be worthy of His Majesty's promotion of her. Afterwards, the concubine found out that she and Concubine Zhen Gui were very close and still have contacts, so the concubine exempted her from the reward.

This time she has made great contributions, and she really can't help but appreciate it, but the relationship between His Majesty and Concubine Zhen Gui and the Prince of Loyalty and Filial Piety under her knees, as well as the relationship between Yuan Chun and Concubine Zhen Gui, should not be given a high position, so as not to come into contact with too much information and reveal it to Concubine Zhen Gui. ”

Although when Emperor Zhengxi had chickenpox, the queen should indeed stay in the palace and help him stabilize the backyard, and should not run to Xishan. Intellectually, Emperor Zhengxi knew that the queen did not go to Xishan, yes, but as a husband, emotionally, he still hoped that his wife could stay by his side and take care of him, so Emperor Zhengxi himself did not notice it, and at this moment he had a grudge against the queen in his heart, so he usually felt that the advice that the queen listened to became less deaf.

Emperor Zhengxi waved his hand absently and said, "Isn't it just to get closer to Concubine Zhen Gui?" When Yuan Chun was taking care of me, she told me that the Rongguo Mansion and the Zhen family where she was born are old relatives, and the two families have always had contacts, and after she entered the palace, she was not less taken care of by Concubine Zhen Gui, so she had contacts with Concubine Zhen Gui, but in her heart, there was still loyalty and treachery. Therefore, the relationship between Yuan Chun and Concubine Zhen is just a normal exchange between elders and juniors, it is nothing, Zitong thinks too much. In fact, it can be seen from this that this Yuanchun is not a person who forgets his roots.

Besides, Yuan Chun is a person in his aunt's palace, and the relationship between his aunt and Concubine Zhen Gui is like fire and water. Aunt is a character who doesn't rub sand in her eyes, if there is anything wrong with Yuan Chun, how can her aunt tolerate her? Besides, when Yuan Chun took the initiative to take care of me this time, she said that she had chickenpox when she was a child and was not afraid of infection, but in fact, she had never had chickenpox at all, and she risked her life to take care of me. It is not an exaggeration to rush her to this loyalty and give her a high position. ”

The queen still felt that something was wrong, opened her mouth to speak, and wanted to continue to persuade Emperor Zhengxi, but the grandmother Cao, who was standing beside her, quietly pulled the placket of her clothes, shook her head and signaled to her, asking her not to say any more.

After sending Emperor Zhengxi away, the queen looked at Mama Cao and asked, "Mama, why are you stopping me and not letting me say it." It's not that I don't want the emperor to reward you with that Yuan Chun, even if there is no relationship between Concubine Zhen Gui and Concubine Zhen, a little female official will be made a concubine in a blink of an eye, which is not in accordance with the rules......"

Mama Cao knew that the queen was out of public intentions, so she couldn't help but sigh and persuade: "Queen Mother, in this palace, what the emperor says is the rule; Besides, this rule is a man......"

"Mama, you're confused." The queen interrupted her very unceremoniously, "Yes, in this palace, the emperor is the biggest, but even if he is the emperor, he can't be willful......"

In order to show her closeness, Mama Cao called her by the title of the queen when she was not married, "My good young lady, if this is said before the emperor is not sick, you say so, no problem, but not now."

In the past, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty favored Fu Zhaoyi, and for her, he always wanted to abolish the queen and set up Fu Zhaoyi's son as the crown prince, but after Feng Jieyu blocked the bear for him, Feng Jieyu was not only promoted to Zhaoyi who was on a par with Fu Zhaoyi, but also took away a favor of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty from the mouth of the only favorite Fu Zhaoyi, even if Fu Zhaoyi did everything possible to slander Feng Zhaoyi in front of Emperor Han Yuan after this.

This Yuan Chun, what he did was similar to Feng Jieyu back then, the emperor is now moved, and it is useless for you to say anything now. The slave knows what you mean. Do you think it's not too late to let the emperor start from a low level and then slowly promote this Yuanchun. But it is obvious that the emperor has made up his mind about this matter, so why should you object? It's thankless, and it makes the emperor unhappy. ”
