Chapter 42: Accidents
The status of the biological mother of the fifth prince is a little embarrassing.
Concubine Gong's status is not high, and she has not been valued by Emperor Jiaping for so many years, if it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant with the fifth prince and was predicted to have a very expensive belly, she should not even have the treatment of the palace.
Therefore, when he was young, he was ruled by the queen mother and raised by the queen.
Empress Wei was losing her son not long ago, there were not many children in the palace, and there were not many who could raise her, only Concubine Gong had neither status nor favor, and the child she gave birth to was precious, which just met the requirements, so Empress Wei quickly accepted the child.
Over the years, she has indeed done her best for the five princes.
At this moment, Empress Wei sighed, frowned and asked him, "Have you been to see your mother?" ”
Concubine Gong's health has never been very good, she was born as a palace maid, Emperor Jiaping was fortunate to her on a whim, but he didn't want to give her a name, and he didn't even want to write down this matter, or the queen mother came forward, so she had a name, but the position given was not high, but it was a Zhaoyi.
Empress Wei felt that she was in the way at first, but after all, she was the biological mother of the fifth prince, and she was cautious and cautious, so she gradually had some incense for Concubine Gong.
"Not yet, I'll say hello to my grandmother and you first, and then I'll go to see my mother." The fifth prince said that Empress Wei smiled, and when she saw the queen mother smiling and shaking her head, she asked again: "I heard that there was an accident in the imperial garden today?" ”
If someone else asked about such a thing, they would inevitably get a reprimand, but since it was the fifth prince who asked, Empress Wei naturally explained the whole thing, frowned and said: "The Sheng family is becoming more and more arrogant!" In front of the Son of Heaven, he is also so domineering, pointing to the deer as a horse, and he can't wait to force a little girl to death! ”
When it comes to something related to Concubine Sheng, it is difficult for Empress Wei to maintain absolute composure, and at this moment is no exception, the fifth prince automatically ignored her bad mood, focused on this matter, looked at the queen mother and said: "Old lady, my father is now more and more favored by those Taoist priests, no wonder they don't know the height of the sky, they actually want to deceive the saint, and they should take advantage of this matter to clean up these black sheep, so that they know that they are powerful." ”
This is not painful, the Queen Mother snorted, and couldn't help but have some ridicule between her eyebrows: "Meddling in government affairs and colluding with ministers, which one of these is a major crime that deserves death!" Naturally, they are dead, but what about the other side? ”
At the other end is the Sheng family.
Empress Wei was a little dissatisfied and a little resentful: "What else can I do on the other side?" After so many years, it's not that there have been accidents, but when has it not been thunderous and rainy? Of course, this matter can't help them. ”
It's a bit ugly, but it's true.
If there is only one Zhu Yuan, if Emperor Jiaping wants to make up his mind to move his favorite concubine's father, it is indeed not enough.
As she was talking, Aunt Weng had already returned with Zhu Yuan, who had changed her clothes, and the Queen Mother greeted her when she saw her, telling her to meet the five princes first.
Chu Tingchuan called out before she could speak, looked at her without a trace, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so he asked her, "Injured?" ”
Aunt Weng grabbed in front of Zhu Yuan and nodded: "The back was scratched by a leopard, the injury was a little serious, the leopard held on so hard at that time, and it was a shame that Miss Zhu could bear it, staying in the imperial garden for so long, and she didn't scream in pain." ”
She almost thought that Zhu Yuan was really not injured at all, but who knew that when Zhu Yuan changed his clothes just now, his back was already blurred with flesh and blood.
This girl is really bearable.
The Queen Mother was a little surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Your mother was like this at the beginning, obviously she was not in good health, but she never said a word, and she didn't say anything when she asked." You guys, what a ........"
She called Zhu Yuan to her side, and shook her head with a little pity: "This is not good, if you don't say it, who knows that you are in pain, who knows that you are seriously injured?" Those who endure will not be comforted by others. ”
Zhu Yuan lowered his eyebrows, not feeling how serious his injuries were.
She lived in the back mountain in her childhood, climbed up and down the mountain with the two people in green, and the injuries she suffered were innumerable, and even once she rolled down the mountain in order to pick tea seeds, and fell into the thorns all over the ground.
As for asking for something and getting something with this pain, it was something that had never been thought of.
Children who are not loved are born with little more knowledge of how to ask for it than ordinary people.
She didn't reply to the Queen Mother's words, and waited until the Queen Mother sent Empress Wei and the five princes away first, and then administered the injection for the Queen Mother again.
When the prescription was prescribed, it was already past noon, and the Queen Mother originally wanted to leave Zhu Yuan for dinner, but when she thought of Zhu Yuan's younger brother, she asked Aunt Weng to prepare a reward and send Zhu Yuan out of the palace.
Because this time she completely tore her face with the Sheng family, the Queen Mother specially asked Aunt Weng to send her out of the palace in person.
Zhu Yuan was a little moved in her heart, she knew that the relationship between the Queen Mother and Emperor Jiaping was not as good as it seemed on the surface, and at the moment when Emperor Jiaping had not yet expressed her position, it was very rare for the Queen Mother to be able to do this.
Aunt Weng also smiled and said to her: "The old lady really values you, and it was your mother who could ask her to take care of the old man." ”
Zhu Yuan nodded, and when he came down the steps, he saw Chu Tingchuan waiting outside, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Aunt Weng was also taken aback, but she knew that Zhu Yuan was the life-saving benefactor of the fifth prince, and when the fifth prince had something else to ask Zhu Yuan, she smiled and saluted: "I still have some things I forgot to take, and I ask Miss Zhu to wait for me for a while." ”
Zhu Yuan nodded in agreement, but Chu Tingchuan stopped her loudly: "Aunt Weng, don't be busy, I'm about to leave the palace, let's go together." ”
Aunt Weng was a little skeptical if she had heard it wrong.
Leaving the palace?
But the five princes have always been a simple personality!
She glanced at Zhu Yuan and realized that the fifth prince came here specifically to find Zhu Yuan, and she was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, just owed her body, and deliberately took a few steps behind, leaving the two of them side by side.
The surroundings were empty, and several of Chu Tingchuan's close attendants were guarding from afar, he glanced at Zhu Yuan and asked her, "The injury is so serious, why didn't you say it at that time?" ”
Zhu Yuan was a little inexplicable, and seeing that his tone was a little serious, he shook his head lightly: "It's nothing, the situation at that time, I can't take care of these things, and it is very important to make the saint pay attention to the relationship between the beast taming eunuch and Chang Ying." ”
It was when she was nervous, how could she be distracted elsewhere?
Chu Tingchuan was a little disapproving, stopped and frowned at her, but in the end, he just took out two white jade bottles and handed them to her: "You take this." ”
