Chapter 3 The Origin of the Pearl

"Tell me, what's going on with Zhuzhu'er?"

Danzhu didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell the queen mother about the abnormality when the county lord got up last night.

The Queen Mother frowned and was silent, it sounded like Zhu Zhu'er had a nightmare last night, so she was out of order today. But just now, seeing Zhu Zhu'er's hoarse and pained appearance, it doesn't seem to be as simple as a nightmare.

"You guys take good care of the county lord, and if the county lord has any abnormalities, come and tell the mourning family."

"Yes, the slave maid obeys the instructions of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother then turned back to the inner room, sat in front of the bed and looked at Gu Fanghua, who did not forget to frown even if she was asleep, and felt sad in her heart.

She is already close to dusk, but Zhuzhu'er is still like the rising sun, and she can't protect her for the rest of her life. must think well for her, find a good family to live a long and healthy life, and then you can close your eyes with confidence.

Mama Fang tiptoed in and said softly: "Queen Mother, the slave maid asked the kitchen to prepare a little soothing soup, and when the county lord wakes up, drink another bowl and sleep for a while." ”

"Xiuchun, Yue'er has been gone for thirteen years, if it weren't for Zhuzhu'er, I'm afraid the mourning family wouldn't be able to last for so many years."

Mama Fang looked at the Queen Mother with frosty temples, and she inevitably choked, the Queen Mother had a hard life!

As the concubine of the Qinguo Mansion, she entered the palace at the age of fifteen in order to protect the family, from the concubine to the concubine to the imperial concubine, and finally became the queen.

finally gave birth to a son and a daughter, but the eighth prince died at the age of five, leaving only Princess Liuyue alone. In order to survive, he had to join forces with the two princes left by the former queen, so they snuggled up to the top from the harem full of thorns.

The first emperor died suddenly, the ministers in the court were in turmoil, the vassal kings outside the court bullied the new emperor to rebel at a young age, and the Huns and foreign tribes were ready to move.

The Queen Mother held the eleven-year-old emperor and listened to the government, purging the court with iron and blood, suppressing rebellions, and expelling foreigners. It wasn't until the emperor was eighteen years old that he returned the government to Emperor Hong Zheng, and he raised Princess Liuyue in Cining Palace with peace of mind.

Later, Princess Liuyue grew up and married Ruyi Langjun, Gu Dian, the son of Guanwen Hou. Husband and wife are affectionate, raise their eyebrows, and envy others.

I thought that the bitterness would come willingly, but unfortunately the good times did not last long.

When Gu Dian was inspecting Jiangnan for Qincha, he unfortunately encountered a torrential rain, which caused a landslide, and the carriage fell into a cliff and died in Jiangnan. Princess Liuyue was so grief-stricken that she almost left with him.

Fortunately, the imperial doctor found out that the princess was pregnant, so he rekindled his ambition, but unfortunately after all, Da mourned and injured his body, and tried his best to give birth to a daughter and follow Gu Dian away.

Within a year, the Queen Mother lost her daughter and son-in-law, and she was ten years old. If it weren't for taking care of her infant granddaughter, I am afraid that I would not be able to survive.

Emperor Hong Zheng was grateful for the sacrifice of his horse for the country, and in order to let the Queen Mother show her face, the Marquis of Guanwen sent the little girl into the palace and was raised by the Queen Mother herself. The title that should have been the county lord was promoted to the county lord and given the title "Pearl", which means the pearl in the palm of his hand.

The Queen Mother had sustenance, got better day by day, and personally named Gu Fanghua for the lord of Mingzhu County, which was taken from "the grass is green, and it is scorching".

Mama Fang comforted: "The queen mother can't be presumptuous, the county lord is still young, and the queen mother will need to check the county horses in the future." In case, if the county lord wants to marry into the royal family, doesn't he still need the queen mother to escort him? ”

The Queen Mother thought of the princes of Emperor Hongzheng now, and sighed again.

Emperor Hongzheng now has five surviving princes, the second prince and the third prince are adults, and all of them have been crowned kings and opened mansions. The second prince, Yan Shilin, is the king of Ning, and the third prince, Yan Zhongran, is the king of An.

The fifth prince, Yan Shaoxun, is now sixteen years old and has not yet been crowned king. Although his name is in the name of Concubine Xian, his background is unbearable after all, very humble, and he is not a good match.

The sixth prince was born noble and was the concubine of Empress Yuan, but Empress Yuan injured his body when he gave birth to him and died when he was less than a year old. He is also sixteen years old this year, and he is only three months younger than the fifth prince.

If he hadn't been with his mother's family Dingguo Gong for all these years, he would not have survived now. Although the important ministers of the court are supported by their status as concubines, they have a lot of troubles, unpredictable blessings and misfortunes, and they are not good sons-in-law.

The Nine Emperor Sons, Yan Qihuo, is now from Empress Jiang, and her mother's family is Marquis Wuping, who is only fourteen years old this year. Because Empress Jiang is pampered and Emperor Hong Zheng is doting, she is arrogant on weekdays, and she is not a good candidate.

The Queen Mother thought about it and sighed: "I want to mourn the family and say, the royal family is not a good person, Zibin's child is good, but unfortunately he doesn't deal with Zhu Zhu'er." ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about the queen mother, look at the slave maid, as long as the county lord likes it, the queen mother can let her get what she wants. Therefore, the Queen Mother, you have to take care of yourself and support the county lord. ”

Mama Fang's words relieved the Queen Mother a lot.

Although Emperor Hong Zheng was not the biological son of the Queen Mother, he snuggled up to the bloody wind back then. I also admire the Queen Mother for not being obsessed with power and power, so she is also very filial to the Queen Mother.

As long as the Queen Mother is in one day, it is true that the Lord of Pearl County can be glorified for one day.

After noon, Gu Fanghua woke up and drank another bowl of soothing soup. When I woke up in the evening and saw familiar people and things, I really felt that I was indeed alive, back to the age of thirteen.

In order not to affect the Queen Mother's rest, Gu Fanghua took a few palace maids back to Qingzhi Palace.

Standing at the gate of Qingzhi Palace, Gu Fanghua looked at the endless stream of palace people who were busy everywhere. Thinking that a few years later, this place is overgrown with weeds and inaccessible, and it is a sigh again.

As soon as he returned to the hall and sat down, he took the red dates and longan tea of the green chrysanthemum and sipped it, and the second-class palace maid Ying'er came in to report: "Back to the county lord, the fifth prince heard that the county lord was slightly ill and came to visit the county lord." ”

Gu Fanghua lowered her eyes to cover the emotions in her eyes, stroked the Geyao teacup and groaned for a moment, and refused: "No need, you just say that I am unwell and have fallen asleep." ”

Ying'er was ordered to retreat, and Gu Fanghua was supported by Danzhu and Green Chrysanthemum, and returned to the inner room to rest.

Zimei in the outer hall packed up the tea cup and whispered to Mo Lan: "The county lord has never seen the fifth prince. The queen mother promised the county lord that she could go out of the palace with the five princes and the six princes the day after tomorrow, but the county lord actually refused. ”

"Okay, Zimei, do you still have to question the words of the county lord? Don't think that Nanxun Palace often gives you some rare food, and you forget who is the master. ”

Mo Lan didn't have time to chat, just now the Queen Mother rewarded a bunch of things, and she had to make a register and register them in the treasury.

Yan Shaoxun, who was originally waiting outside the hall, was also a little surprised when he heard that Gu Fanghua couldn't see him after resting, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Since Cousin Mingzhu has rested, then I'll come over tomorrow, here is a can of paper cranes that I folded with my own hands, you give it to the county lord for me."

Ying'er respectfully took it, and the five princes often sent some strange things to the county lord, and the county lord was very happy every time he received it, and most of them could get some rewards.
