Chapter 408: Queen Zhao
Mrs. Minli's movements were extremely fast, but two days later, the news came that Changtai had allowed Concubine Leng to enter the palace to visit the Queen Mother.
The concubine is about the same age as the Queen Mother, perhaps because she has not worked day and night for more than ten years of state affairs like the Queen Mother, but she looks much younger than the Queen Mother, looking like a person in her forties, with fair skin, if you don't look closely, you can't see some fine lines at the corners of your eyes.
Concubine Leng has a calm tone all over her body, wearing a short undergarment cut by the tooth-colored Qiluo, covered with an autumn-colored dark embroidered treasure pattern placket and half an arm, tied with eight indigo Xiangshui skirts, a cloud bun on her head, and a red gold silk luan bird beads are swaying, with a red palace flower in the middle, wearing a red gold grape entwined branch pendant on her ears, and a gold bracelet on her wrist. Dowager! ”
Because of this period of time alone and dedicated to serving the Queen Mother, Qi Yuncang was so old that even people were a lot sluggish, Concubine Leng cried a few times, she reacted, and trembled to kneel down to salute her: "The old slave has seen the concubine...... Why did the concubine come? ”
"Hurry up! Earlier, I heard that the queen mother's sister was sick, so I wanted to enter the palace to visit, but I prayed that the palace was busy at the time, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and I also knew that I should not cause trouble for my sister and His Majesty at this time, and I thought that the queen mother's sister Jiren has her own natural appearance, I am afraid that it will be fine in a blink of an eye, and I will also enter the palace to give her peace! Concubine Leng was supported and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Who knows that the news of my sister Da'an will not come out of the palace, but I heard that Yu Taiqi, the head of the Tai Hospital, was careless, and dared to prescribe the wrong medicine for the Queen Mother!" This quack deserves to be put to death! There was such a thing in the palace, and the queen was not in good health at that time, and I was afraid that I would rush into the palace and make trouble for Your Majesty, but in the past few days, I was really anxious, so I cheekily prayed for Your Majesty......"
In front of the Queen Mother's sickbed, Concubine Leng did not raise her voice, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and whimpered: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Isn't there an explanation for the hospital? ”
"The newly sent Imperial Physician Mu is an old and serious person, and said that the Queen Mother is old after all, so she can't take strong medicine, so she can only recuperate slowly." Qi Yun said weakly, "I'm tired of the concubine coming into the palace to visit the queen mother." ”
"The queen mother's sister is like this, Qi Yun also said that there are some of these things...... "Concubine Leng fell to the placket with tears in her eyes, and said sadly, "Look at you, you are so old!" Are you alone in these times? Why don't you ask someone to change hands? ”
Qi Yun's body trembled, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and then he said calmly: "Concubine Xie cares, it's just that the old slave has been following the Queen Mother for a long time, thinking that the Queen Mother is inconvenient now, and the old slave is still easy to serve, so I asked them to fight." ”
"Really?" Concubine Leng collected her tears and looked in the room, because the concubine came, Su Ruhui and the others wanted to respond in the Detai Palace, Concubine Leng looked at them carefully, and her eyes were red again, "Pity these children, they were also raised by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is kind, although she is the daughter of a foreign minister, but all of them are like jewels in the palace, and now the Queen Mother is sick, and the children have clearly lost weight......"
As she spoke, she sighed and cried to the Queen Mother on the sickbed: "Sister just doesn't look at these children who grew up around her, but also remembers the emperor of Xuanming Palace!" Even these children are haggard like this, and His Majesty is the biological son of his sister, isn't it even more sad in his heart...... Woohoo......"
As soon as the concubine cried like this, even Qi Yun's dry eye sockets were filled with tears, and she prayed sincerely: "If the Queen Mother can be okay at this moment, the old slave will go to the Infernal Hell immediately......"
"Don't be sad, the queen mother is a golden body, and with the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, she will definitely get better." The woman who was holding Concubine Leng comforted softly, and Sleeve Xiang and the others were also busy helping Qi Yun, and Su Ruhui and the others, who were accompanying Su Ruhui and others who were wiping their eyes with a handkerchief, took the opportunity to peek at her.
But I saw that this woman was the same age as Queen Zhou, wearing a purple and purple flower cardigan and a hundred folded moon skirts, her hair was tied into a double ring to look at the fairy bun, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, her bearing was graceful and gentle, and there was a Yingluo ring on her chest, and a flawless jade the size of a pigeon egg fell below, like blue water, reflecting a blue color on her chin.
"What Queen Zhao said is very true, the concubine Niangniang should take care of her body, the Empress Dowager will definitely be fine." Qi Yun said weakly.
Queen Zhao's voice was crisp, and she didn't know if it was because she had been taking care of Concubine Leng for many years, she spoke very slowly, but she was very comfortable listening to people's hearts: "Mama Qi should also be relieved, you are the old man next to the Queen Mother, now the Queen Mother is sick, and the Queen Mother is busy with selection, the aunts of the Queen Mother's sleeves are all capable, but there must be someone like Mama who must be sure of everyone's hearts, otherwise there will be chaos everywhere, and the Queen Mother will not like it when she looks at it, isn't it?" ”
Qi Yun sighed, and said a few words on both sides, and Queen Zhao persuaded Concubine Leng and said: "The mother concubine still doesn't want to be in the queen mother's bedroom, one is to stay for a long time to disturb the queen mother, and the other is to watch the queen mother sick and uncomfortable here, why don't you invite Mama Qi to sit outside, and ask the queen mother in detail?" ”
Concubine Leng nodded, but Qi Yun shook her head and said: "Queen Zhao has good intentions to let the old slave rest, but the old slave really doesn't worry about the queen mother, and asks the concubine not to be surprised, so let the sleeve incense accompany the concubine and the queen to the main hall to sit down." ”
"Alas, you are wholeheartedly hanging on the Queen Mother's sister, how can I blame you?" Concubine Leng sighed and shook her head, and was led out by the sleeve incense step by step.
Seeing that Su Ruhui and the others were still standing beside him, Qi Yun frowned and said, "You go and accompany the concubine, it is enough to have slaves and maids here." ”
Although she called herself a slave, in the matter of the Queen Mother, she was so stubborn that even Changtai couldn't help but let her go, Su Ruhui and others silently gave half a salute and quietly withdrew.
"Sister Ruhui, why did the concubine enter the palace?" Although Danzhu is young, she is the most concerned about the Queen Mother among these people, seeing that this cold concubine suddenly entered the palace and cried for a long time in the Queen Mother's bedroom, she was suddenly a little nervous, and quietly took Su Ruhua's hand, with an unconcealable fear in her black and white eyes, "Could it be that the Queen Mother ...... she?"
"The Queen Mother Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, and they will be fine." Su Ruhui comforted her with gentle words, the Gao family and Ganmei both hoped that the Empress Dowager Jiayi would live a little longer, so stiff and everything had to rely on the hands of others, even if she was the most noble woman in Dayong, it was not a kind of torture? These two people are reluctant to let her die, the original purpose of that package of 100 years was to let her not die easily.
Danzhu didn't know this, and wondered: "Then why did the concubine come to visit the Queen Mother?" ”
Concubine Leng in the king of Zhao after the vassal, asked for the queen mother's grace to follow her son to Zhao land, last year the king of Zhao was impeached again in the fief to be summoned to the imperial capital with his son, near the watch, in the past she did not need to go back and forth to the imperial capital every year in the fiefdom, that is, last year in the imperial capital temporarily, and only arrived at the Detai Hall and the queen mother to greet a few words before being sent back, so the palace is not familiar with this concubine, and now such an unfamiliar person is the identity of the concubine also came to visit the queen mother, How can Dan Zhu not think in the direction of the Queen Mother's body dying?
