In the Fengzao Palace, the queen was wearing a dark brown dress, with a thin face like a skeleton, and her eyes were surprisingly big, without any brilliance at all.

"Niangniang, Princess Ning asked someone to hand over the sign, I want to come to the palace to see Niangniang, and then take a look at His Royal Highness Yuan Sheng." Bi Xiang cautiously said to the queen's ear.

The queen's body is very weak, and now she can't eat two bites of food every day, and she only relies on the medicinal soup provided by various imperial hospitals to hang her life, basically having qi in and out of qi.

Her body has been like this since the beginning of the year, and every time Bixiang waits for the queen to sleep, she is worried that she will never see the queen wake up again, but from spring to summer, the queen has come over again and again.

What is the point of barely living with such a body? Bi Xiang felt uncomfortable for the queen in her heart, and it was better to die.

But the queen herself should want to live, but she doesn't know what it is, so she has been supporting her to keep this breath as thin as a gossamer.

The queen on the bed listened to Bi Xiang's words, and her face did not react at all, but Bi Xiang stepped back a little skillfully, and watched the queen's left fingers move.

The queen now has a hard time controlling her body, but her fingers can still move lightly.

If there's anything she can decide, just tell her what happened and see which side of her finger she moves.

The right hand is agreeing, the left hand is not.

Bi Xiang lowered her head and walked out, and said to the eunuch waiting at the door: "Niangniang didn't see anyone, and told the people brought by Princess Ning that the request to see her had been refuted." ”

The eunuch was a little wilted, but he received a lot of silver from Yan Qingge, and promised to say good things to the personal palace maid who served the queen in Chuxiu Palace, but it was done again and again, and it didn't work out at all.

Seeing that the eunuch was still accompanied by a smiling face, and wanted to say something, Bi Xiang glanced at him, turned around and left, leaving no emotion.

"Something!" The eunuch scolded in his heart, staring at Bixiang's back and grinding his teeth. It is not a secret that the queen is sick in Fengzao Palace, in the heart of this eunuch, Bixiang is just a dog, and the day the queen is gone, I can't see that she will be taken away to accompany the funeral.

Seeing that he hadn't done what Yan Qingge had asked him to do, the eunuch had a sad face, and walked out in the shade along the base of the wall with his hands in his sleeves.

As he was walking, he saw two sweaty nurses hurrying in front of him.

"Father-in-law, have you seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor?" The nurse saw the eunuch and asked eagerly.

After June 6, the weather was hot as if it was going to be on fire, and few people would go out again, the two nurses opened the doors and windows, and watched Yuan Jin play in the shade of the wind in front of the door, who knew that it would be gone in the blink of an eye. The two little eunuchs who were supposed to be guarding the door before didn't know where they went.

Thinking of the prince's special importance to Yuan Jin, the two nurses felt a chill in their necks, if Yuan Jin dared to do something, their two nicknames would definitely not be guaranteed.

When the eunuch heard the five words of His Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor, he was overjoyed in his heart.

Princess Ning asked him to say good things and wanted to enter the palace, so she didn't want to see His Royal Highness the sixth grandson. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince married His Royal Highness the sixth grandson of the emperor and the concubine of Princess Ning, and it was normal for the mother-in-law to want to see her son-in-law.

The queen didn't agree to ask Princess Ning to come over to see the sixth grandson, but he could tell Yan Qingge about the situation of the sixth grandson! This is also a solution to the problem.

This eunuch is not from Fengzao Palace, and he has never seen Yuan Sheng usually. He pretended to say, "Don't worry, two ladies, let's help you find it." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law!" The two nurses looked at the eunuch with delight.

"The weather is so hot, Your Highness will not drill into the sun, eighty percent of it is in some shady place. The child is so old, he is very greedy for water, and there are not many places with water in the Fengzao Palace, let's find it quickly. "This eunuch has some real skills, and the head of analysis is Tao.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm in a daze. There is a small pond behind a side hall over there, and most of it is rainwater that has accumulated from the rain. Your Highness has been down once, and you will remember the way. ”

The two nurses took the eunuch and hurried over.

After passing through the narrow passage between the two side halls, I came to an open space. The place was about the size of a room, and half of it was occupied by a blister.

Because the eaves of the side hall are long, and the other side is blocked by the courtyard wall, this place is cool and windy, and there is water vapor, which is rare and cool.

Yuan Sheng took off his shoes, sat next to the blister, and happily kicked the water with his feet, bluffing the two nurses.

"My ancestor, why did you come here?" The two nurses wiped the cold sweat on their heads and hugged Yuan Sheng.

The eunuch took a step forward quietly, blocked the small shoes that Yuan Sheng had placed on the edge of the blister, stepped back a little, and completely covered a pair of shoes under his blue robe.

"The two mothers should hurry up and take His Royal Highness the sixth grandson back, don't delay for a long time." The eunuch smiled kindly, and secretly reminded them to leave quickly, so as not to let people find out about today's mistakes.

The two nurses were very grateful, and they didn't doubt him, so they didn't care about looking for Yuan Sheng's little shoes, so they turned around and left. Compared with Yuansheng people, they are safe and sound, but they just lost a pair of shoes, which is nothing.

After the two left, the eunuch bent down to pick up the shoes on the ground, put them in the palm of his hand and gestured, his face full of smiles.

Yuan Sheng will be two years old in a few months, growing rapidly, taller than ordinary children, and his feet are also big, if he hadn't noticed Yuan Sheng's bare feet just now, he wouldn't have believed that these shoes were Yuan Sheng's.

Putting a pair of soft-soled shoes into his sleeve, the eunuch left humming a song in his belly.

Three or five days later, in the Yanwang Mansion, Yan Qingge received a small cloth bag.

"It's strange, mother, it seems that there is a pair of shoes in it." Xunshuang helped Yan Qingge check it first, and before he opened it, he felt the outline of the things inside.

I gently pinched two handfuls with my hands, and found that there was a rustling sound, as if there was still paper attached to it.

When it was opened, it was a thin roll of yellow mulberry paper and a pair of shoes worn by children.

Yan Qingge's heart moved, and he said to Xunshuang and Wenxue: "You go out first." ”

When she was the only one left in the room, she opened the roll of yellow mulberry paper.

I saw a boy's face drawn in white on the pale yellow paper. Because the painter is not very skilled, the boy's face looks slightly distorted, but in general, you can still see the looks.

The boy has a round bun face, but the facial features on his face are extremely handsome, and if it weren't for the bun he held to show his identity, it would make people think that he was a girl.

Yan Qingge looked at the child on the paper sadly, stretched out his finger and tipped his facial features on the paper, as if he could really touch him.

The kid was so old, but she'd only seen him once.

The pair of shoes on the table was also picked up by Yan Qingge and carefully examined.

These shoes were about three-quarters the length of her palms, and although her hands were slender, they were more slender than half of the women's, which showed that Yuan Sheng was a big foot.

Looking at the shoes again, there were a slight amount of mud and dust on the soles, but you could tell that they were new shoes that had just been worn for a short time.

Yan Qingge stretched out his fingers and touched the inside of the shoe, and found that the big toe of the shoe was slightly deformed.

Yuan Sheng's feet are the same as his father Yan Xiuyu's, both have protruding big toes, and the surface of the feet is also a somewhat high type, when making shoes for them, they need to pay more attention to fit the feet.

The people in the palace who made shoes for Yuan Sheng obviously didn't think of this, and Yuan Sheng himself was so young that he wouldn't give an opinion on whether the shoes fit or not, so he made do with it.

Yan Qingge has made more than one pair of shoes for Yan Xiuyu, of course he knows how to make shoes for people with such foot shapes.

She immediately stood up, put the little shoes in the bag, called the maids in, and asked them to find materials for themselves, and make them at once.

That pair of small shoes is made of tribute cotton, cotton weaving is dense and thin, most suitable for making shoes, this kind of tribute cotton is not rare, Yanwangfu has it. The soles of the shoes are made of ordinary white buna, and the benefits are rare.

Yan Qingge recalled Yan Xiuyu's foot shape, compared the length again, drew a small foot mold on the paper, and asked Xunshuang to call the two best women in the needlework room to come and work with her.

She wanted to personally make shoes for Yuan Sheng and send them, and she would do it all by herself, but the child's feet grew fast, and when she was ready, she didn't know if the shoes fit or not.

The three of them worked together, Yan Qingge made the uppers, and the two mothers-in-law took the soles, and worked hard overnight to make the shoes.

Comparing the shoes from the palace with the new shoes, there are still some subtle differences, but the differences are very small. But Yan Qingge can guarantee that Yuan Sheng will definitely be much more comfortable when he wears these shoes.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, put away the small shoes, called the informant given to her by the eldest princess of Roufu, and asked this person to give the things to the person who made the small shoes in the palace before, and let him return them as they were.

It was another afternoon, and the white sun was so hot that everyone was about to pass out. Obviously, there was a rain the day before yesterday, but it didn't seem to bring half a bit of coolness to the heavens and the earth.

The two nurses didn't dare to let Yuan Jin play at the door anymore this time, they looked at him firmly from left to right, and when they saw him step out of the threshold, they would catch him back.

Yuan Jin is very naughty, not good at wearing clothes, not good shoes, originally tied good clothes, he pulled the front of the placket wide, revealing a smooth belly, a pair of small feet are also naked, running around the house, refusing to live in peace for a while.

"Your Highness! Don't catch a cold. If you have a cold, you have to drink bitter medicine! The nurse persuaded Yuan Jin bitterly, but it didn't work.

Yuan Jin stabbed and shook aside the nurse who wanted to tidy up his clothes, leaving her with only a back, and ran out again.

"Your Highness is coming back soon." The two nurses chased them out, and Yuan Sheng thought they were playing with him, giggling and running, and ran under the hot and amazing sun.

Fengzao Palace is paved with bluestone floor tiles, which are sunburned, and the soup is incomparable, Yuan Sheng exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated from the road.

The two nurses chased after him, and quickly picked up Yuan Jin to look at his feet, only to see that his feet were a little red, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, does it hurt?" ”

Another said, "Your Highness, if you wear shoes, you won't be afraid of getting hot." ”

Yuan Jin is a naughty child, not squeamish, and shook his head. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone road not far ahead: "Shoes!" ”
