Chapter 47: Detained
The little girl's head and face injury is a big deal.
Xiao Yuan returned to Wanfu Palace, and saw that Empress Dowager Xu was restless, and sent palace people to inquire about the news for a while.
She threw her boots and climbed onto the kang, nestled in the arms of the Empress Dowager Xu, and waited for news with the Empress Dowager Xu.
The little granddaughter's well-behaved made Empress Dowager Xu very pleased: "What did Mr. Chu teach you today?" Is it difficult? ”
"Queen Mother, our Highness is smart."
In order to make the Queen Mother feel relieved, Mama Jiang smiled happily: "When the maid went, she was just in time for His Royal Highness to endorse Mr. Chu, and Mr. Chu praised our Highness." The maid remembered that when Her Royal Highness the Eighth Princess learned the "Three Character Classic", she memorized a few sentences for five days. His Highness only took a short time to memorize an entire book! ”
"Ouch, my little Jiaojiao!" Empress Dowager Xu was also surprised, "It's really giving me a long face!" ”
Xiao Yuan was embarrassed to be praised, and quickly changed the topic: "Grandmother, what's wrong with the fifth sister?" ”
Empress Dowager Xu sighed, wrapped the hand stove in a handkerchief, stuffed it into Xiao Yuanhao's arms, and said: "It was said that your eighth sister and your seventh sister quarreled, and your fifth sister went up to fight, and somehow fell on the stone, and this forehead was broken." ”
"No wonder the sisters didn't go to school, Mr. Chu was very angry, saying that Ming'er was going to let the sisters be punished."
"Deserve the punishment!"
Empress Dowager Xu was so angry that she patted Xiao Kangji: "As a princess, she is so unruly that she doesn't even know her friendship and sisters!" Suzi, you will talk to Mr. Guan who is teaching in the afternoon, and ask him to give you half an hour, and you can teach these little monkeys the rules! ”
Jade was sitting on the small pestle in front of the kang to sew Xiao Yuan's small belly pocket, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, it's long overdue for the princesses to learn the rules. You forget, a few years ago, the county lord led a few princesses to bully the ten princesses. ”
"Isn't it!"
Empress Dowager Xu rolled up Xiao Yuan's sleeves, revealing a tender lotus-like little arm: "Look, there are still bruises here." It's a shame that my Ah Hao is dressed thickly, otherwise, where is it broken, how can I explain to Ah Man. ”
Before it was time for lunch, it began to snow like goose feathers outside.
There was news from Zhaoyang Palace, saying that the fifth princess Xiao Yuanwan was fine, but she was about to have a scar on her forehead.
Empress Dowager Xu was worried again, and during lunch, Xiao Yuan teased Empress Dowager Xu with a lot of food.
Since raising Xiao Yuan in Wanfu Palace, Empress Dowager Xu's appetite has improved, and her face is becoming more and more rosy day by day. Mama Jiang and the others were all happy in their hearts, and they were even more respectful to Xiao Yuan.
Because of the snow outside, the grandparents and grandchildren could only walk and eat in the main hall. Just as he was about to discuss going to sleep on the kang, the palace people who were sent to Zhaoyang Palace to inquire about the news suddenly came to report, saying that the fifth princess had a fever again, as if she was going to have a pox.
This is terrible, Empress Dowager Xu's drowsiness is gone, and she immediately asked someone to report to Xiao Qian, and she hurriedly invited the four ladies over.
Lady Moon Shadow Li Liangyu didn't come, saying that she was afraid of getting sick.
Empress Dowager Xu praised it, and ordered several ladies to preside over the overall situation in the palace, burn wormwood, tear red cloth, worship smallpox Niangniang, and discuss countermeasures with the doctors of the Imperial Doctor's Office.
After a busy afternoon, Empress Dowager Xu had the time to sit down and catch her breath.
Xiao Qian hurried over at dinnertime, and when he entered the door, he saw that Empress Dowager Xu was eating a plate of meat buns with Xiao Yuanhao, and both grandparents and grandchildren looked extremely delicious.
Xiao Qian couldn't help but move his index fingers, and simply sat down and joined the ranks of meat-eating buns.
Even if the sky falls, people have to eat first.
After the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren ran out of meals, Empress Dowager Xu asked Xiao Qian: "Where does the king come from?" Have you ever been to Zhaoyang Palace? ”
"The queen mother can rest assured, she went to Zhaoyang Palace after discussing things, but she didn't go in. Lady Moon Shadow was afraid that this pox would pass on to me, so she ordered someone to seal Zhaoyang Palace from the inside. I have already asked Su Guangbai, Ah Wan has a fever in the afternoon, there are signs of acne, but it has not come out yet. The palace responded in a timely manner, as long as he took the decoction issued by the Imperial Physician Department on time every day, there would be no major incident. ”
Empress Dowager Xu nodded, praised Lady Moon Shadow, and said, "Even so, you still have to pay more attention." Especially if Ah Hao is weak, he should be more careful. In the past few days, I will detain Ah Hao in the house first, don't go anywhere, and wait for Ah Wan to have a pox. ”
This detention detained Xiao Yuan for a month and a half.
In the past month and a half, first the fifth princess Xiao Yuanwan had acne, then the seventh princess Xiao Yuanru, the eighth princess Xiao Yuanshu, the ninth princess Xiao Yuanwen, and even the county lord Xiao Yuanchan, none of them could run, and all of them were infected with chickenpox.
Even the sixth son, Xiao Jianyi, didn't know how to get infected. In addition to this, there are more than a dozen palace people.
Thanks to the medicine god Su Guangbai, there was no large-scale outbreak of chickenpox this time.
Several little princesses did not have scars, only the sixth son, Xiao Jianyi, because he had moved to live in the Ubisoft Pavilion, the palace people who served him were not as good as his mother's heart after all, and when the acne was really unbearable, he had a scar on his face, and he was young and had a potholed face.
Empress Dowager Xu sent down those careless palace people, and gave Xiao Jianyi another batch, and appeased Xiao Jianyi a few words, and this matter passed like this.
Xiao Qian didn't have the time to care if his son had a scar on his face, he was already anxious at the moment.
After the middle of February, Yujing has been raining heavily for several days, and the pouring rain has lasted for half a month.
The water level of the Lanjiang River outside the city has risen sharply, and if this rainstorm does not stop, the Qinglong Dam of the Lanjiang River will not be able to withstand it. Several counties around Yujing are bound to be flooded, and even Yujing will suffer.
The imperial court had already recruited servants from the surrounding villages to strengthen the Qinglong Dam day and night. But the river rose much faster, and there were already two servants who accidentally fell into the river and died while working.
The heavy rain for days made Xiao Yuanhao, who was stuffy in the house, even more irritable, and could only rely on idleness to ask around for gossip to get by.
Hearing that the sixth son, Xiao Jianyi, had a terrifying scar on his face, Xiao Yuan pouted: "He's not a girl, it doesn't matter if there are a few more pits on his face." Idle, you say something else. ”
Leisurely talked about the rainstorm, and now, the little girls opened the conversation one after another.
Even Miao Miao, who usually doesn't like to talk, also participated in the discussion: "If this rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid that the villages in the lower reaches of the Lanjiang River will be washed away." ”
Xianxian hurriedly spat a few mouthfuls on the ground: "Bah, how can you say bad things!" ”
Miao Miao retorted rarely: "This is bad luck." My hometown was hit by a flood, and my family couldn't live their first days, so they sold me to be a palace worker. ”
He also said, "Me too." My home is in Dazhuang Village on the edge of the Lanjiang River. That year, the Lanjiang River flooded several nearby villages, and I couldn't help it, so I sold it. ”
Xiao Yuan said that her family was originally a big family in the village, and her life was still passable, otherwise she would not be able to ask her husband to teach her to read.
Even such a solid family can't live anymore, so how miserable is the life of ordinary people?
Xiao Yuanhao simply joined the ranks of the little girls and asked, "Does this Lanjiang often have big water?" ”
