Chapter 126: Difficulties in the Palace
As soon as Pei returned home, Imperial Physician Du came from Mrs. Rong's Shou'an Hall, followed by a medicine boy carrying a medicine box.
Rong Feng looked at Imperial Physician Du for a while, and asked, "Why is Imperial Physician Du here today?" ”
Imperial Physician Du bowed his hand, bowed his head and smiled: "I originally came to ask the old lady for peace and sound, and I thought about the medicine that the fourth girl asked for for my wife, so I didn't worry about it and stayed for a while, but I really let the lower officials wait." ”
Mother Lin led Imperial Physician Du to check Pei's pulse, but saw that the people in the room were silent, and even their breathing was gentle, for fear of disturbing the doctor.
Rong Feng stepped forward quietly, his steps on his feet slammed again, and he raised his eyes and realized that something was wrong.
Whether it is in Qingzhou or Shengjing, Imperial Physician Du seems to only obey the orders of one person, he was called by Xie Yu, otherwise how could he be so coincidental to ask for peace for his grandmother, even if she asked Imperial Physician Du about dispensing medicine, he also knew.
After half a pillar of incense, Imperial Physician Du withdrew his hand, his eyebrows and eyes sank slightly, and Rong Feng stood aside and said: "Xiaguan told the fourth girl that this medicine is extremely dangerous, and now Xiaguan can only protect his wife for half a year. ”
Rong Feng already knew that this was the result, squinted at Pei's painful appearance, and couldn't help but think in his heart, it was better to let her go calmly.
Her eyes were slightly cold: "Thank you Imperial Doctor Du, and please thank Imperial Doctor Du for me." ”
Imperial Physician Du looked stunned, blinked his eyes without blinking, and said with a smile: "The lower official knows." ”
But the closer to the August election, the more happy events the Shengjing banquet became, and Mrs. Rong restrained Rong Feng and Rong Han, and always only taught the Qi family to prepare generous gifts to hide their edge.
On the occasion of July 30, Concubine Qi's birthday, His Majesty fulfilled her petition and invited the ladies of the family to be lively and lively in the palace.
However, Qi's side seems to have already gotten the wind to prepare a begonia red Luo skirt made of moonflower brocade for Rong Han, with flowers blooming in the overlapping skirts, and the eyebrows are lit with five-petal flower-shaped flowers, but the youth of the daughter's family is not lost in the richness.
Yunxiao finally put her hair in a bun for Rong Feng, and carefully selected the right bead hairpin jewelry to take to her head, but seeing that she had just brought the left step, Rong Feng reached out and took the hairpin on the right.
Yunxiao cried and begged with a sad face: "My good girl, the carriage is waiting outside, but it's not the time to mess around, just bear with it, it's heavier, but if you don't wear it, teach people to see the jokes of our Hou Mansion, even the old lady is not easy to say." ”
Rong Feng slapped the hairpin on the makeup, stretched out his hand and rubbed his neck, closed his eyes, and said: "When I went to find the set of noodles given by my second aunt when I was in Puzhou, it was not us who wanted to be in the limelight today." ”
At this moment, she was inexplicably uneasy in her heart, this palace banquet was thought to be stormy, not as peaceful as it seemed.
On the carriage, Rong Han took Rong Feng's hand and smiled lightly: "The fourth sister enters the palace for the first time, I'm afraid that many rules are not clear, so it's good to stay with my sister at that time." ”
Rong Feng frowned lightly: "When I was in Qingzhou, my grandmother specially invited Mother Li to teach me the rules in the palace, and I am afraid that I will not need my sister." ”
Rong Han's face changed slightly, and he slowly withdrew his hand and straightened the folds on his sleeves: "Yes, the fourth sister is the one who will enter the palace in the future, and Mother Li was an old man in the palace in the past, so she is naturally all-encompassing, but my sister is worried about you in vain." ”
The Huarong Hall where Qi Guifei lives, not to mention the extremely wide area, is the carved gallery and painting building of the palace, and the furnishings are also the first in the palace, the only deficiency is that it is far away from the nine-story hall where His Majesty lives.
When Rong Han entered the palace for the first time, he felt dazzled, the lack of amazement in his heart and the helplessness of his heart, and the smile on his face was a little stiff and reluctant, even the Qi family almost couldn't stabilize his mind.
She quietly looked at Rong Feng's expression, hoping to see something on her face, but saw that she lowered her eyes and didn't look around, and taught Rong Han to be a little annoyed inexplicably.
It was only when Yunxiao, who was a little timid, secretly held Rong Feng's hand, she was shocked to find that the palm of her hand was already wet with sweat, she quietly wiped it with a handkerchief, let go of Rong Feng's hand and took a step back to follow.
As soon as Rong Feng and the others walked into the main hall, they were greeted with countless stares, not only because they were the upstarts of the Shengjing family, the relatives of the Ronghou Mansion, but also because of Qi Guifei's ascension, and the Qi family also had an in-law relationship with the Ronghou Mansion, and some people were curious about the Rongsi girl who was born after the merchant's daughter married into the Ronghou Mansion.
Qi took Rong Feng and Rong Han to salute the concubines above, only to see the woman sitting in the center, wearing gilded Qingluan armor on her hands, and said with a little momentum in her movements: "Get up, be happy today, you don't have to be bound by etiquette." ”
As he spoke, he sat down and asked the palace maid to serve tea.
Qi Guifei is over forty years old, but she is maintained like a woman in her early twenties, her skin is smooth and delicate, her eyebrows and eyes are soft like a pool of spring water, but Zhao Shufei on the side has a gorgeous and flamboyant complexion, and there is a faint tendency to suppress Qi Guifei.
Qi Guifei beckoned to Rong Han, picked up a piece of crystal cake and put it in Rong Han's palm: "Aunt told you before, teach you to enter the palace more often to accompany the palace, why did you stop moving as soon as you went home, you are really heartless." ”
Rong Han took the pastry, glanced at Rong Feng with his eyes, and said affectionately with a smile: "Auntie, don't blame, grandmother said that Han'er is about to be a big girl, you can't think about playing all day long, you have to learn more about your daughter's things, just like my fourth sister." ”
Rong Feng was a little distracted here, but when he heard Rong Han suddenly mention himself, he saw countless indescribable meanings falling on him.
Qi Guifei raised her eyes: "Four girls? She tapped Rong Han's cheek lightly, "But I want to learn from your fourth sister, look at you here in the palace, you look like a monkey, it's not as quiet as your sister." The four girls stepped forward to let the palace take a look. ”
Rong Feng got up slowly, Yun Xiao held her elbow, and every step did not look like a person who entered the palace for the first time, Qi Guifei couldn't help but have a little more interest in Rong Feng, who was about to enter the palace and stay with her in the high red wall.
Rong Feng leaned over slightly, lowered his head and said, "Rong Feng has seen the concubine Niangniang, and I have seen the concubine Niangniang." ”
Concubine Zhao Shufei held a palace fan in her hand and squinted: "Raise your head and let the palace take a look." ”
Rong Feng raised his head according to the order, his long eyelashes lightly covered his eyes, and his eyes were lightly raised, but he heard Zhao Shufei say coldly: "Sure enough, I have a good appearance, looking at my eyes are as clear as jade, which makes people want to pick them off and pretend to hide them." ”
The coquettish tone said Sen Ran's frightening words, Yun Xiao's face changed slightly, and the hand holding Rong Feng couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Qi Guifei's eyes drooped slightly, and she saw Rong Feng squatting for a long time before she said: "Sister Concubine Shu is used to being scary, how can that jade have the aura of a living person, the eyeballs are out of the place where they should be, just teach people to be bloody and terrifying, let the four girls get up." ”
Zhao Shufei stretched out her hand and touched the step shaking that hung down her hair, and she didn't give Qi Guifei face: "It's just talking." She glanced at Qi Guifei, smiled coldly, and whispered: "It shouldn't be me who should be separated, but you who used to support her sisters." ”
Qi Guifei's smile remained unchanged, and she raised her hand to let Rong Feng get up: "I heard that the house has invited Imperial Doctor Du for many days, and I don't know how your mother's condition is?" ”
Next, a lady of the family asked aloud: "Miss Rong's mother?" But the daughter of the Pei family, a merchant in Puzhou, married into the Hou Mansion in the past, which made many boudoir women envious, how could she be sick in a good manner? ”
Qi Guifei's expression was gentle: "Indeed." The palace only heard that it was Mrs. Hou who had a difficult birth when she gave birth and injured her body, so she lingered on the sickbed for many years. ”
The lady of the family shook her head slowly, and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to say that the Pei family is a person who is not blessed, and the daughter of a merchant can become Mrs. Hou, and she will not be able to enjoy wealth.
"That Mrs. Hou only has four girls and one daughter, and she must cherish it to the extreme, but it is a pity that Hou Ye Rong has been on the horse for half his life, and now he has not even had a child to inherit the Hou Mansion, and there is no heir." The man sighed faintly.
The people around him didn't answer, but just watched the fire from the other side.
The lady of the family doesn't have much to do with the Qi family, but she comes to the palace to meet her during the New Year's holidays, and she can say a few words to Qi Guifei, but she thinks she is proud but has become a target in the hands of others.
"The mother of the fourth girl is the main room, and she should also think about the Rong family, don't take the anger of the former little family to cause a long-term illness."
Rong Feng's eyes turned cold for a moment, and the dark color under his eyes condensed into fierce ice: "Madame is very curious about the affairs of my Ronghou Mansion, and she knows it so clearly, just like you have installed your family in our house, I don't know if there are any people from you in Your Majesty's palace." ”
Mrs. Shijia looked flustered, her eyes widened, and the bead hairpin on her head also swayed: "The fourth girl should not talk nonsense!" ”
Rong Feng sneered in his heart, and said in a slow voice: "What is Madam afraid of?" My mother was personally married by His Majesty, and my grandfather of the Pei family donated most of his family wealth for the war back then, and he was a loyal, righteous, benevolent and righteous person. My mother has been seriously ill for many years, and she has not left her medicine for many years, and her father loves her mother, and she has refused her mother's request to take a concubine for her many times, which even Mrs. Fang knows. ”
Qi raised his eyes and smiled: "Indeed, Master Hou loves Mrs. Chong." ”
The corners of Rong Feng's mouth pursed a faint sneer: "If Madame is really worried about the difficulties of my Rong family's heirs, it is better to talk to my wife more, she is in charge of the middle feed of the house, and she should be the one who takes the concubine for my father." ”
Qi's sitting body moved slightly, who knew that the calamity would lead her here?
Concubine Zhao Shufei smiled stupidly: "In this way, Your Majesty does not have many heirs, Concubine Qi gave birth to three sons and one daughter one after another, and in the end there was only one third prince." There is also a second prince under the knees of this palace, and there is only one princess Huaiyin who can be regarded as a princess. The palace and Concubine Qi Guifei are in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and when the general election in August is held, it is really necessary to select some lovely people to spread out for His Majesty, so that the three princes and they will have a few more brothers. ”
