Chapter 199: Mulberry Fruit
At night, the lights in the Streamer Hall were bright, and the Empress Dowager Zhang blessed her sleeves and asked the palace maid to bring the medicine bowl to herself to feed the Empress Dowager to drink the medicine.
Empress Dowager Zhang knew the weight of the King of Chu in the heart of the Empress Dowager, so she ordered the news of the assassination of the King of Chu to be blocked, and did not dare to mention it in front of her.
The Empress Dowager was suddenly choked by the medicine, and she spit out all the medicine after drinking it, "Tai'er, my Tai'er ......"
Empress Dowager Zhang knew that she wanted to see her son wipe her mouth with a silk, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, the King of Chu is already on his way back to the capital, and you will definitely be able to see him." ”
In the past few days, the Empress Dowager Zhang has been taking care of the Empress Dowager with her clothes, whether it is drinking medicine or wiping, she is doing it herself.
When the king of Chu rushed to the imperial city, it was already midnight, and the palace doors were already closed, so he had to wait until the palace gate opened tomorrow before he could enter the palace to see the empress dowager.
The king of Chu found an inn to live in, and the attendant was worried about his injury, so he found a doctor in the hospital to take a look at him and re-bandage his wound.
At dawn the next day, Li Tai went into the palace to see the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Zhang took care of the Empress Dowager in front of the bed all night, and she had not left at this time, when Li Tai came in, she looked a little tired, and knew that she must not have slept last night.
When the Queen Mother saw Li Tai coming, she went back to her dormitory to rest, so that their mother and son could talk.
Empress Dowager Zhang slept for half an hour, then was woken up by the sound of the death knell in the palace, and immediately rushed to the Streamer Hall where the Empress Dowager lived.
When I entered the dormitory, I saw the Empress Dowager lying peacefully on the bed, changing into a white mourning dress, and there were still the crying voices of the palace people in the hall.
She immediately ran over, and fell to the ground from too much grief, "Queen Mother......
Mama Xu, who was waiting for the Empress Dowager, said: "The Empress Dowager, please mourn, the Empress Dowager has gone." ”
The little emperor who learned the bad news also rushed to the Streamer Hall from the study, and saw his mother fall to the ground, so he hurriedly walked over with his father-in-law to help her up.
"Mother, are you alright......?"
The little emperor helped Empress Dowager Zhang to the bed, knelt down, and cried profusely, "Imperial grandmother ......"
In the main hall, for a while, it was full of people's crying and mourning, "The Queen Mother ......"
Li Tai knelt in the position closest to the Empress Dowager, obviously feeling very uncomfortable, but he just didn't cry.
Song Huainan, who was running an errand outside, was about to rush back to his house, when he passed by the lively street, he suddenly heard someone outside selling "mulberry fruit", so he asked the coachman to stop the carriage.
Chang'an asked into the carriage, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”
"Chang'an, do you see that someone can sell mulberry fruit in front of you?"
Chang'an looked ahead, and not far away, there was really an old woman selling mulberry fruits, and there were a lot of customers around.
"My lord, if someone is really selling mulberry fruit, it's not far away."
Song Huainan said: "You ask how to sell mulberry fruit?" Buy some for me. ”
Chang'an immediately got out of the carriage, went to the place where the mulberry fruit was sold, and asked, "Old woman, how do you buy this mulberry fruit?" ”
The old woman was a deaf and dumb person, she couldn't speak, and could only tell her through gestures that two pennies a pound.
Chang'an immediately understood what she meant, so he took out his pocket and gave her two pennies.
After the old woman happily accepted the money, she wrapped the mulberry fruit with mulberry leaves and gave it to him.
Chang'an carried the mulberry fruit back to the carriage, "My lord, here you are, the mulberry fruit you wanted." ”
"But my lord, do you really like to eat such a black thing that thinks of insects?"
Song Huainan put the mulberry fruit, "This is for my wife, not for me." ”
It turned out that this was the case, and he thought that it was impossible for Shousuke-sama to like eating such strange fruits, and if Mrs. liked to eat them, it would be normal.
Song Huainan looked at the mulberry fruit in his hand, and wondered why she and I ate such a thing, as soon as this fruit was eaten, its mouth would become black, as if it had been dyed.
He Tangtong was teaching the two little ones to walk in the bedroom, and Mama Lan walked in and said, "Madam, the adults are back." ”
As soon as Mama Lan's words fell, Song Huainan had already strode into the house.
He Tangerine's eyes quickly noticed the mulberry fruit in Song Huainan's hand, "Why did you buy the mulberry fruit and come back?" ”
She hadn't eaten mulberry fruit for a long time, and when she was young, she especially liked to eat this thing, but every time she ate it, her mouth would be stained with mulberry juice, and she couldn't wash it.
"How do you know I like mulberry fruit?"
He Tangerine remembered that for a while, he followed his eldest brother and Song Huainan to go shopping, and when he fell in love with the vendor who bought mulberry fruit, he pestered his eldest brother to buy it for himself, and if he didn't buy it, he would cry, and his eldest brother was so entangled by him that he had no choice but to buy it for her.
After she ate it, she began to have a stomachache when she went back, and her mother immediately asked her to find a doctor to show her.
Mulberry fruit is a cool food, and the doctor said that she had stomach pain because she ate too much mulberry fruit.
Under questioning, his mother learned that the eldest brother bought him mulberry fruit for him to eat, so she gave the eldest brother a heavy meal, and from then on, the eldest brother never bought mulberry fruit for her to eat.
But she really likes to eat mulberry fruit, but she doesn't have any money, so she can only beg Song Huainan to buy it secretly for herself, and every time she doesn't dare to eat too much, for fear that it will cause a stomachache again.
At this time, He Tangerine really missed the sweet taste of mulberry fruit, and since Song Huainan bought it back, He Tangzi asked Mama Lan to take the mulberry fruit to the kitchen to wash it.
Soon, Mama Lan washed the mulberry fruit and brought it, and Song Huainan told her: "Don't eat much, otherwise you will have a stomachache again." ”
When she was a child, she was indeed very greedy, and she didn't know that eating too much cold food would cause her stomach to hurt, but now that she is a mother, she naturally won't eat like she did when she was a child.
Seeing that Song Huainan was teasing the two little guys, He Tangerine went over with a fruit bowl, fed a mulberry fruit in Song Huainan's mouth, and then kissed him.
When the two little guys saw such a scene, they insisted on rushing over to kiss He Tangerine, and after they kissed themselves, He Tangerine ate and fed them a mulberry fruit by himself, and after the two little guys ate it, their mouths immediately turned black.
When Twilight came in with hot water, she saw that the family was all black-mouthed, and she couldn't help but laugh immediately.
"Madame, sir...... There are also two little boys, why are your mouths so dark? ”
Of course, He Tangerine refused to let go of Twilight, so he stuffed a mulberry fruit into her mouth, making her mouth turn black with it, and she didn't dare to laugh at them.
After some fun, He Tangzhi washed his mouth with water, and then wet the veil with hot water, and wiped the mouths of the two little guys and the big guys.
