The Queen Mother was sick
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has newly transferred two little palace maids. The head of internal affairs personally led people to Moju Garden, and greeted them for a while, and then said that the Queen Mother let Mo Juyuan allocate two newlyweds, and I will take them to Prince Yu's Mansion after I get married to Qi Jin in the future and take care of my daily life.
I thanked him and asked Xi'er to take the gold ingots and give them to the housekeeper. He smiled from ear to ear:
"It is said that the Nianhuan County host of Mo Juyuan is always sweet, today's slave is favored by the county lord, and if you and Prince Yu get married in the future, if there is a place for the slave, the slave will do his best."
"It's hard to worry about it."
The housekeeper left, and the two teenage girls knelt on the ground:
"Slave and maid Cuixing, slave and maid Cuiyue to the master, please say goodbye."
"Get up, get up."
Xi'er closed the door, and I said to the two little girls:
"There is only one master in this garden, as long as this door is closed in the future, you don't have to kneel all the time or something, Sister Xi'er will tell you about it later. When you come to Moju Garden, you are actually living, and the most important thing is to be happy, just be happy. ”
I went back to the study to practice calligraphy, and Xi'er was outside with two little girls watering the dream interpretation flowers, and then I heard the following conversation:
"Sister Xi'er, before I came, my father-in-law said that Moju Garden has a garden of good-looking flowers, and when I look at it today, it is really good-looking."
"Yes, the red stamens dotted with emerald greenery are really a beautiful sight."
"If you like, this watering work will be arranged for you in the future."
"Yes, Sister Xi'er."
"I don't know what the name of this flower is."
"Dream Interpretation Flowers."
"Dream interpretation flower, the name is very interesting, dream interpretation and dream interpretation, resolve nightmares, if you don't have nightmares, then there are only good dreams!"
"yes, good dreams. Back then, the prince was thinking that the master only had good dreams......"
"Lord Wang? Prince Yu? Wow~ The master and the prince are a beautiful couple, and I only learned today that the prince is still in love with the master! ”
Xi'er hurriedly covered the mouth of the talking Cuixing, and deliberately looked at the door of the study, and only let go when she saw that there was no movement. Cuixing looked frightened and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Xi'er, did I say the wrong thing?" And when he spoke, he knelt on the ground. Xi'er hurriedly pulled up Cuixing and whispered:
"Don't talk more in the future, just water well."
"Yes."
Dream interpretation flowers, dream interpretation flowers. Dream Interpretation Flowers. Qi Ge, you actually let them plant a whole palace of dream interpretation flowers. If a flower represents a good dream, then the nightmare of my life is gone. It's all just good dreams.
Thank you.
Thank you for the flowers.
The inner hall of the Qianqing Palace has two desks. Qi Xi is on the left, Qi Jin is on the right. Behind each of them is a personal eunuch who is responsible for passing the recital. The emperor was lying on the dragon bed behind the yellow veil not far away, and from time to time people would send the folds that Qi Xi and Qi Jin had approved from the outside, and send out the folds that had been seen.
I have been staying here since the next court, and after reading the excerpts of the morning, it is time for lunch before I know it. The emperor's lunch was specially made for medicinal food, and the two princes had to move to the outside room to eat. The father-in-law brought in the emperor's medicinal food, and Qi Xi and Qi Jin stopped everything in their hands and walked outside. The door was next to Qi Jin, and when Qi Xi passed by Qi Jin's desk, he inadvertently saw a piece of rice paper on Qi Jin's desk, on which the word Qi Jin was written. Qi Jin, who had already walked to the door, saw that Qi Xi did not follow, and when he turned around, he saw Qi Xi holding the piece of paper on which he had written Qi Jin's name in the morning.
"Second brother."
Qi Xi looked at Qi Jin, folded the paper in his hand, and took it out.
"What did the second brother take it out for?"
"Over the years, whether it is the seventh brother, the ninth brother or you, she is still calling her previous name in her heart. It's not surprising that they grew up together since childhood, and they have been called by this name since they were children, even if the holy decree has been changed, she is still the little girl of the past. But how can you write this character exactly like her? It's not like this when I write official documents on weekdays. ”
Qi Jin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said:
"In the year of my seventh brother's wedding, she taught me how to write. I've been practicing for a long time, and it looks like her handwriting. ”
"Yes, she taught you how to write."
"Hmm."
The father-in-law who was waiting for the meal helped to distribute the dishes, Qi Jin thought about his words and the letter, and drank the soup in his hand; Qi Xi was also thinking about the words and the letter in his heart, and he was also drinking soup in his hand. The two brothers had their own agendas, and neither of them broke the silence. The soup in the bowl was drunk, but Qi Jin still spoke:
"Second brother, give me back the words just now, now that she doesn't have this name, it's better not to let people see this pair."
Qi Xi was not in a hurry to return to Qi Jin, but let everyone in the house retreat.
"Stand down, all of you."
The last two palace maids closed the door from the outside, and Qi Xi Gu reached out and grabbed a chopstick of asparagus and put it in his bowl.
"A few days ago, I was ordered to tidy up Prince Duan's mansion, do you know what I saw?"
Qi Jin was shocked, but he didn't dare to startle the snake, so he had to pretend to be calm:
"What did the second brother see?"
"I saw that a Duan Prince's Mansion was full of dream flowers."
"Dream Interpretation Flowers! Didn't the fifth brother only plant in the yard in front of his bedroom at that time? How could it be that the whole palace is? ”
"Yes, even when the fifth brother died of illness, I didn't find out when I went to Prince Duan's mansion. It wasn't the flowering season at that time, and it was just planted by the fifth brother, so I couldn't see it. The housekeeper of Prince Duan's palace told me that after Huang Ama decreed the abolition of the marriage contract, the fifth brother became seriously ill, and he planted dream interpretation flowers in the palace day after day. Plant a little today, plant a little tomorrow, and in the rest of the month, the entire Duan Prince's Mansion will be full. ”
Qi Jin didn't speak, and Qi Xi continued:
"In addition to this dream interpretation flower of the entire palace, I also found a letter."
Qi Jin blurted out almost subconsciously:
"What letter?"
"The fifth brother hid it under his pillow before his death, and slept with him every day, thinking about it, it should be a very important letter, or a very important person wrote it to the fifth brother."
"What was written?"
"The courtier Qi Jin, I know that I am no longer compatible with Prince Duan, please contact the marriage contract, and forget the prince!"
The word seemed to fall on Qi Jin's heart. At this moment, he can only pretend to be calm! The second brother must not be allowed to see his panic and panic.
"Jin'er wrote a letter to the fifth brother?"
"Not bad."
"When I set off for the southwest, their relationship was very good, how could Jin'er write a letter to the fifth brother?"
"yes, that's what I'm puzzling about. If he insisted on breaking off his love, why did he later beg the emperor's grandmother to guard the emperor's mausoleum for his fifth brother, why did he have been accompanied by the Green Lantern Bitter Buddha all these years, and he was a good county lord, and he was born a person with a pure heart and few desires. ”
"Second brother, what are you going to do with this letter? Did you ask her about the existence of this letter? ”
"Asked. I asked her if she had a letter with her fifth brother before. She said that she had never exchanged letters with her fifth brother. Since she answered me in this way, I did not mention the letter. Regarding this letter, I still want to save it first, and if she thinks about it in the future, she can also return it to her, which is a thought. ”
After lunch, the emperor wants to take a lunch break, and under normal circumstances, Qi Xi and Qi Jin also have a lunch break. But after finishing lunch today, Qi Jin didn't go to take a nap, but called Wang Xi and asked him to send a message to Baylor, saying that he had something important to discuss.
The grandmother next to the old lady came to spread the word, saying that the queen mother was sick and asked the county lord Nianhuan to accompany her. The old lady has always been in good shape, but the emperor is seriously ill at this time, why is the old lady sick? I put the brush in my hand and beckoned Xi'er to go to Cining Palace together. The grandmother at the door first came to the door to greet me after entering the house to make a report, and the old lady half-leaned on the head of the bed and beckoned to me.
"Grandmother, what's wrong with you? What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”
"How can I say it, when people are old, their bodies and bones are not good."
"Did you say what kind of illness it was?"
"Back to the county lord, the imperial doctor said that the queen mother, like the emperor, also had typhoid fever."
"Is it infectious?"
The old lady and the room full of grandmothers all looked at me, and yes, there was no such thing as contagion at this time. Both mother and son have typhoid fever, that is, a cold, and the old lady does often run to the Qianqing Palace these days, that is, it is infected.
"The mourning family just thought that you hadn't come to study for the mourning family for a few days, so they asked them to look for you. In the future, when you marry Sixteen-Eleven, it will be even more difficult to meet. ”
"Okay, Nian Huan has been sticking to the imperial grandmother these days, and I will read to you every day!"
"Okay."
I spent the morning in Cining Palace, and after having lunch with the old lady, the old lady wanted to take a nap, so I left. The father-in-law was waiting at the gate of Moju Garden, and when he saw me, he greeted me:
"Say hello to the county lord."
"Father-in-law is polite."
"The emperor asked the servants to invite the county lord over."
"Okay, let's go."
Qianqing Palace has always given people the feeling that it has always been that kind of cold style. After all, what is staying inside is the master of the current dynasty, who holds the power of life and death, let you die, you have to die, let you live a better life, your life will be better. Like Cining Palace, the father-in-law of the imperial front went to report first, and then let me enter the house. Qi Jin and Qi Xi both looked at me, I smiled and waved hello to them, and the father-in-law whispered on the side: Here, county lord, please be safe! I hurriedly turned and knelt on the ground, and cried out to the veil:
"Nian Huan greets the emperor."
There was no sound inside, and I was looking up at the father-in-law in front of the king, and asked him with my eyes what was going on, when another father-in-law came out of it and said to me:
"County Lord, the emperor asked you to get up and go in."
"Oh, good."
I got up from the ground and went in. Although the emperor on the hospital bed has been sick for so long, his expression is still a little good.
"Uncle Huang, how have you gotten better in the past few days?"
"Hmm. Much better. I heard from them, "Are you in Cining Palace in the morning?" ”
"Yes, I read to the imperial grandmother in Cining Palace."
"Is the emperor's mother okay?"
How do I answer this question? The imperial doctor reported to the emperor in the end
Didn't report the Queen Mother's illness? I thought about it and answered properly:
"I was in good spirits, I listened to books all morning, and I ate a big bowl of rice and a bowl of soup at noon."
"That's good."
"What did you eat for lunch?"
The father-in-law of the Imperial Father-in-law, who was standing aside and waiting, reminded:
"County Lord, the emperor's eating is taboo."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"The medicinal food that the people in the Tai Hospital asked the cook in the imperial dining room to prepare for me is all medicinal herbs, and if this continues, my whole person will almost smell of medicinal herbs."
The usual Ninety-Five Venerable actually joked about himself at this time, which I didn't expect, so I couldn't hold back and laughed like a pig. The emperor also laughed, and the laughter came from behind the veil, Qi Xi and Qi Jin couldn't help but call their father-in-law, who was delivering pastries inside, and asked:
"What are the emperors and county lords laughing at inside?"
"Back to the two princes, the emperor is giving fun to the county lord."
After speaking, he took two steps back and sent the pastry in his hand. Qi Xi and Qi Jin looked at each other, they grew so big, Huang Ama did not smile at all the princes and princesses, and this son actually gave Nian Huan fun inside! The two looked at each other, and for a while they couldn't imagine the picture inside.
I started the days of Cining Palace in the morning, Qianqing Palace in the afternoon, and Moju Garden in the evening.
Days like this have made me somewhat forget the picture of Shi'er's tragic death. Xi'er slept with me in my room every day, and I woke up less and less often in the middle of the night, and my complexion became better day by day.
I am slowly getting better, but the old lady is not as good as day by day, in the past I read to her, she is very serious listening, emotional, she will follow me to repeat it several times. But since she was sick this time, I always read and read, she fell asleep slowly, and then my grandmother would remind me in a whisper, so I packed up my books, came out of Cining Palace, and walked a short distance to Moju Garden, at the gate of Moju Garden, the former father-in-law was waiting there, and took me to Qianqing Palace. The emperor's time to watch the folds has also decreased, I went, the emperor didn't watch it, and threw it all to Qi Xi and Qi Jin outside, and pulled me to tell me jokes, and it was also during this time that I learned that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who had not had in-depth contact with him in recent years, cut the title of Ama and seemed to be a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor, and the emperor who was not smiling on weekdays actually had an interesting soul.
He told me about him and E-Niang when they were young, and what happened when he and Ama were young, and every word was his brotherhood with Amma, and his love for E-Niang.
I hardly had to interject, he could talk about things for a long time, and he always had that look in his eyes that only a teenager had. In fact, many times I especially want to ask him:
"Do you regret letting the two of them never enter Beijing?"
In the end, there was no answer. No need to ask, the answer is already out.
If you don't take it to heart, how can you remember these old things so clearly; If you don't miss it, how can you remember it?
It's just that after listening to what he said a lot, it is inevitable that I will feel a little regretful.
Ama is his dearest brother, Eniang is the person he cares about the most, and now his brother can't see it, and the people he cares about can't see it, so he pulled me to talk, and I don't know if in his eyes, I think I'm Amma, or Eniang, or myself.
If it is not too much, and it is dealt with early, Qi Xi and Qi Jin will give the emperor a detailed explanation of what major events have happened in some places after that veil. The female dependents should have avoided it, but whenever the father-in-law in front of the emperor wanted to step forward and let me go, the emperor would stop him, and also asked him to go outside to spread the word, so that Qixi and Qijin could come in and talk back. I sat on the side of the seat eating the butterfly cake specially made in the imperial dining room, watching Qi Xi and Qi Jin sit in front of the emperor to discuss state affairs together, I don't know if it was because of the habits developed on weekdays or because of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, they all had serious expressions at this moment. For a moment, the three of them stopped talking, and the air was terrible, and then the sound of me munching butterfly crisp could be heard very clearly.

By the time I realized this, the atmosphere was already eerie. I looked at them for the first time, and they were also very tacitly looking at me. Although I come from the socialist era, I am currently in a feudal hierarchical society, and I am in front of the emperor and the two princes who are most likely to become the next emperor. With an embarrassed but polite smile, I put the uneaten butterfly crisp back on the plate, and immediately got up and curtsied to say goodbye:
"The emperor and the prince talked about state affairs, and said goodbye."
"No, you can continue to eat snacks."
I looked up sharply, and the emperor looked at me with a kind smile. Oops, isn't this a little too off-track?
"Huang Ama, the lady ......" Qi Xi reminded on the side, and the emperor regained his serious expression and said:
"It's fine. What is the local situation of the Jiangnan flood just mentioned? ”
They continued to talk about state affairs as if I didn't exist. I stood up silently, returned to the place where I had just sit, looked at the half uneaten butterfly cake on the plate, and felt that it would be very unsightly if I left it there, so I took it and stuffed it into my mouth.
