112: Family Letters
The children of the eunuch family next to him did not associate with her father since he was a child, no one gave him a chance, and the invigilator was bribed by others when he was taking the fame, resulting in good official positions being won by others, and he could only get a seven-grade official position, and the whole family moved from the vicinity of the capital to a farther place.
Yao Chuxi had not spoken out when these things happened, and his father had just turned in his early twenties.
Fortunately, Yao Chuxi's grandmother was not old at that time, and she supported the family until her son married and gave birth to Yao Chuxi.
Yao Chuxi didn't know about these things, but her father told her the night before she entered the palace.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that my grandmother has already fallen ill.
Since childhood, the impression of my grandmother is that Yao Chuxi can't think of anything other than the word kindness, grandmother always smiles at her, there is good food and drink for her, before entering the palace, grandmother did not agree, but the Yao family only has her father a man, this half of the sky is carried by him, grandmother and Yao Chuxi can't bear it.
At present, my grandmother is seriously ill and has been nursing in bed for two years, but she still did not survive and died a year ago.
The sudden blow made Yao Chuxi's lower abdomen suddenly hurt for a while, and her head was covered with sweat mixed with tears, making her face wet.
This scene frightened Han Shanggong and Luo Yu, and hurriedly asked Ji Linghai outside to ask for a doctor.
The imperial physician arrived with the emperor, and the emperor was in the Taihe Palace at that time, and he couldn't sit still when he heard that Yingxue Pavilion took the initiative to invite the imperial doctor.
Fortunately, there was nothing serious, but the residual poison of the yin incense was not cleaned, and she was suddenly in a bad mood, which caused abdominal pain.
The emperor fed Yao Chuxi a bowl of soup and medicine, and held her hand with some unease, "I just learned about your grandmother, let's mourn." ”
Yao Chuxi only heard this sentence, and the tears that he finally held back could not be controlled again.
The emperor took her in his arms, let her tears flow to his clothes, let her head against his shoulder, and gently caressed her back.
"The concubine didn't know about her grandmother's illness at all, but she was afraid that her grandmother was still talking about the concubine before she died, but the concubine didn't even see her for the last time." Yao Chuxi cried sadly, and his voice changed.
The emperor also wet his eyes slightly, remembering that when the Queen Mother went, he knelt in front of her spirit and cried for a whole afternoon.
After coaxing Yao Chuxi, the emperor reprimanded Ji Linghai, saying that he didn't know the content of the excerpt and presented it to Yao Meiren, which almost caused a tragedy.
Wasn't Ji Linghai taken aback? I thought my life would not be saved.
But to put it bluntly, it's no wonder Ji Linghai, there are rules in the palace, and the palace people can't see the master's private belongings, who knows what is written on the post sent in from outside? Ji Linghai also thought about it for a long time before deciding to hand it directly to Yao Meiren.
Originally, he thought of sending it to the Taihe Palace, but now it is the time when the government is busy, where does the emperor have time to see him?
But since this has happened, it has to be done for the last time.
The emperor ordered that in the future, if there are excerpts sent to Yingxue Pavilion, they will all be brought to the Taihe Hall first, so that he can see them with his own eyes.
After being sad, you still have to think about it, why did my father hand the fold into the palace? Yao Chuxi sobbed, opened the fold again and looked at it.
There were things about her well-being, about her grandmother, and the rest about her miscarriage.
It seems that the family still doesn't know that she is pregnant, but I'm afraid that she is very worried now.
The emperor made the decision and asked her to write a letter and hand it out of the palace.
It has been a long time since the child had a miscarriage, nearly half a year ago, and it seems that the news received by the family is very little and very slow, and she doesn't know when the news of her pregnancy will reach the family.
If her status is higher, she may have more opportunities to write letters home, and anything will be spread out of the palace.
Thinking of this, Yao Chuxi was happy and sad, her mother hurt her when she was a child, and this time she knew about her miscarriage, and she couldn't tell how many tears she quietly wiped in the house. There is also the father, who has always disliked to talk and cannot express, but if he knew that his daughter had been cheated and had a miscarriage, he would definitely be angrier and more worried than anyone else.
Yao Chuxi's position is indeed too low, so low that she is like she is dead when she enters the palace, and no news has been released.
For several years, the Yao family has been trying to inquire about the news in the palace, but the people who sent out have not inquired about anything.
This time, I knew that she had a miscarriage, and it was rumored in Beijing that the Chen family was uprooted, and Yao Chuxi was brought with her slightly.
Yao Chuxi's father and mother only knew that there was a talented person surnamed Yao who lost his child after being abolished, and they felt that this was their daughter, so they tried their best to inquire about more things, and it took more than a month to inquire about the whole thing, and it was really their daughter who had a miscarriage, in addition to the miscarriage and the burning of Yunyan Pavilion, Yao Chuxi's mother fell directly to the ground, and she recuperated for half a month.
This time and again, the time was delayed, so the letter was sent to the palace.
After learning of his grandmother's death, Yao Chuxi did not recover for a while, and he was confused.
She sorted out the things she brought into the palace, most of them were left in the Cloud Smoke Pavilion, they were all burned in the last fire, and only a small part was left.
The bag contained a folding fan and a pair of jade bracelets, which were left to her by her grandmother, and her father only brought her silver for some use, in addition to the silver and two pieces of mutton fat jade.
Mother was afraid that Yao Chuxi would have inconvenience in the palace, so she brought more things, but those silver jewelry and everything are basically gone now, it has been a few years since she entered the palace, and those silver taels have already been spent.
Yao Chuxi looked at the folding fan in a daze, and the emperor didn't make a sound next to him, only quietly accompanied her, occasionally letting her lean on her shoulder, didn't speak, and just sat like this.
Lunch was useless, Luo Yu came in to persuade the master, but was stopped by the emperor's gesture, walked out again, and sent all the lunch sent to the tea room.
In the afternoon, the emperor was worried that Yao Chuxi was hungry, so he ordered Luoyu to heat up the lunch, and he was afraid that it would not be fresh, so he was going to let Jiang Liu go to the dining room to pass another one.
"Your Majesty, don't need it, the concubines have no appetite, just eat some casually."
This was the only sentence Yao Chuxi said all afternoon.
"What about me? I'm starving. The emperor looked like a wronged child at the moment, and gently pulled Yao Chuxi's sleeve, "Pass another one, you can eat with me." ”
Yao Chuxi was still silent, the emperor turned his head and nodded at Luoyu, this Luoyu dared to go out, and after a while, he came in with a food box.
What is somewhat ironic is that the body Yao Chuxi is wearing today has a sense of filial piety.
Yao Chuxi couldn't eat it, and the emperor's appetite was not very good, so he just helped peel the shrimp and serve the soup, and he couldn't wait to feed every bite himself.
Before dinner, Yao Chuxi had morning sickness for a while, and his appetite was even worse, so he only drank a glass of warm water.
The emperor was worried, but there was nothing he could do.
He is the emperor and has the right to be high, but he has never used the imperial power to force her to do anything, just like today, although he is worried about her body, he respects her ideas more.
Fortunately, before going to bed, Yao Chuxi knew that it was nothing for him to eat two less meals, and the child in his womb could not be hungry, so he had two snacks and a small bowl of fish soup left over from dinner.
When she woke up the next day, the emperor hadn't left yet, because there was no morning today, and the emperor could stay here with her for a while.
"Did you have breakfast?"
The emperor heard her and hurriedly agreed, "No, I'll wait for you to get up." ”
"When it rains, wait for me to freshen up." Yao Chuxi turned his head and rushed to the rain and said.
After a while, the sad feeling had faded a little, and Yao Chuxi knew who the person in front of him was. He is the emperor, he has supreme power, and he can control everyone's life and death with a casual word.
He is patiently pampering himself now, how can he pretend not to see?
People always die, Yao Chuxi knows in her heart that even if her grandmother is not sick, she will leave one day, she has already thought of it before entering the palace, and there is no accident This is the last time they will meet.
What she regrets now is that her grandmother's whole life has been dedicated to the Yao family, and she is seriously ill and she is also strong to support her body, in order to let Yao Chuxi enter the palace with confidence, she pretended not to be painful, and before leaving, she smiled with Yao Chuxi, saying that if she had the opportunity to enter the palace with her mother in the future, she would definitely enter the palace with her mother to see her.
She felt very uncomfortable, but for the sake of her slightly bulging lower abdomen, she had to hold on.
After breakfast, she wrote a letter sent home, which roughly meant to let her father and mother pay attention to her body, and also mentioned that she was pregnant again, and wrote a sentence that the emperor loved her.
As for the grandmother who just passed away, Yao Chuxi didn't mention a word, but I was afraid that because of the grandmother's death, the Yao family had not been good for many years, so how could they uncover the scars and sprinkle salt?
Yao Chuxi could only exchange the happiness of his father and mother for being pregnant again, in order to eliminate the sadness of his grandmother's death.
As for the emperor, Yao Chuxi didn't want to mention it, but she knew that her family was worried about her, so she only mentioned it slightly, but she didn't dare to write too much, in case the emperor disliked her one day, it would not be sad for the entire Yao family.
The emperor didn't read the letter, but just asked Pan Zhenan to send it to Ji Linghai and asked him to send it out of the palace immediately.
The county seat where Yao's family is located is still far away from Beijing, but it is not considered the south, and it can be reached in about five or six days' drive, and even if it is half a month slower to come and go, it is enough.
If the calculation is correct, in half a month, Yao Chuxi will be able to meet his mother.
This was a surprise prepared by the emperor for Yao Chuxi, and he didn't tell her, thinking that he would tell her the day before her mother entered the palace, so that she could be happy.
The lunch was also used by the emperor to accompany her, compared to yesterday's sluggishness, today's Yao Chuxi has eased a lot, at least he can take the initiative to say a few words, and he knows that he is hungry and thirsty.
