Chapter 34 Ruyi

The nameless princess has a name, and after giving birth to her, Lianmei gave her the nickname Li'er, which means that the nameless princess is as pitiful as herself. The nameless princess doesn't like it, she prefers her own name in modern times - Dream. The heart of the self, the dream of thinking about me, is just like what she is experiencing, like a dream.

Undoubtedly, she also traveled from modern times to the Great Shun Dynasty. Unlike Lingxi, her body in modern times is not dead. During those six years, she went back and forth between the two bodies, and every time she slept, the ghost would wake up in another world.

The ghostly dream, like a new ray of sun shining in the world of Lingxi, dispelled half of the haze in her heart. The smile on Lingxi's face became more and more, the kind that came from the bottom of his heart.

She ran more often to Qingle Palace when she had nothing to do, and even if Yumeng was asleep, she felt at ease just standing by the bed and looking at it quietly. When they wake up, they sit together and say something they can never finish.

Lingxi likes the unobstructed character of the dream, in the words of the dream, it is pure natural, pollution-free, and absolutely no beautifiers are added.

Lingxi was a little lucky, glad that Youmeng was far away from the battle in the harem in this Yizhu Palace, otherwise it would be difficult to protect herself with her temperament.

Youmeng didn't think much of Lingxi's words, in her heart, she just had nothing to do with the Dashun Dynasty. If you like to look twice, you will look twice, and if you don't like to look twice, as soon as you close your eyes, you will go back to modern times to live a comfortable life.

Youmeng pointed to the two tender red bags that he had been bitten by mosquitoes, and said, "The only thing I can't bear is this fox face that fascinates thousands of men." If this face is brought back to modern times, how many otaku can't help but spit out the word masturbation? ”

"Jerking?" Lingxi's eyes were confused, "What do you mean?" ”

Six-year-old Yumeng smiled and stopped answering. Lingxi didn't ask either, touching Youmeng's little face with her hand with great envy. It doesn't matter if Youmeng doesn't live well in this Dashun Dynasty, because she still has a way out.

Unlike her, if she dies, she is really dead.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the beginning of May. Mei Jieyu's dragon heir in her womb is already full-term, and it is about to give birth.

Just after noon on the fourth day of the first month of May, Mei Jieyu saw red under her, and then there were signs of production.

After receiving the news, Queen Wang and Concubine Liang went to the Ruyi Palace to guard. Suddenly, Hui Guifei and An Guifei also came hand in hand. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the people above the concubine position in the harem had already reached seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and even the cautious and cautious pure concubines were also present.

A group of concubines who had given birth to children, listening to Mei Jieyu screaming in the dormitory, their faces were a little pale. They have all suffered this kind of suffering, otherwise how can they climb to the concubine seat and enjoy the glory and wealth?

Before the time, Qian Weishi opened the way in front, and Lingxi and Mama An helped the elderly Empress Dowager Cui to step into the Ruyi Palace.

When a room of concubines saw Empress Dowager Cui coming, they all got up to say hello. Concubine Hui stepped forward to replace Lingxi, holding the right hand of the Empress Dowager Cui, and Yingying whispered, "Empress Dowager, why are you here?" Wouldn't it be nice to wait in the Yongshou Palace? ”

Empress Dowager Cui sat down and replied, "The mourning family is not at ease, come and have a look." ”

Empress Dowager Cui glanced at the hall and was dizzy when she looked at the red and willow green concubines in front of her. After looking around, he saw that he didn't see Emperor Yonghe, so he said to Queen Wang, who was standing on the side, "Empress, where is the emperor?" ”

Queen Wang took the wet handkerchief handed by Yixiang and cleaned her hands, and then took the tea in Yixiang's hand and personally presented it to the Empress Dowager Cui, and said, "Erchen has sent someone to inform the emperor, and Gonggong Li replied that the emperor is discussing politics with several cabinet elders, and he will come over in a while." ”

Empress Dowager Cui nodded, took the tea and put it on the kang table, that is, she didn't eat tea or speak.

The concubines looked at the Empress Dowager Cui's inquiring eyes, they were not good friends with Mei Jieyu on weekdays, and they were just making a show at this time. Now that the Empress Dowager Cui looks at it like this, she feels that those little abacus in her heart have been placed in front of the Empress Dowager Cui.

Lingxi stood in the corner behind Empress Dowager Cui, her palms covered with sweat. This year, she has the deepest relationship with Mei Jieyu, looking at the entire harem, I am afraid that no one will be more worried about Mei Jieyu's safety than her.

Mei Jieyu's voice was hoarse in the inner hall, and her tone was miserable. Half a moment later, Wen Po came out and said a few words to Liu Yizheng, who was kneeling outside the dormitory and had been taking care of Mei Jieyu's body.

After hearing this, Liu Yizheng wiped his sweat, and said to the Empress Dowager Cui and Queen Wang, "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager." Mei Jieyu is weak and has signs of dystocia. ”

Queen Wang hurriedly asked, "Can you keep your mother and son safe?" ”

Emperor Yonghe was not present, and Empress Dowager Cui didn't speak, so Queen Wang naturally couldn't say the kind of words that gave up her mother and protected her children.

Liu Yizheng trembled his arms, wiped the sweat on his face, and replied, "If you go back to the queen's mother, Weichen will give Mei Jieyu a prescription, as long as Mei Jieyu can use her strength, it will not be difficult." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and said a few medicinal materials to the medicine boy who was kneeling on the side, and asked the medicine boy to decoct the medicine quickly. The medicine boy got Zhou Yizheng's order and ran out with a roll.

Lingxi prayed in his heart, but don't have anything, don't have anything.

In a moment, Emperor Yonghe stepped into the Ruyi Palace. Seeing that the concubines were satisfied with the standing in the outer hall, they all burst out with a frown. I heard that the queen said that the child had not yet appeared from noon to the future, and my heart was even more irritable.

Until Shen, the child in Mei Jieyu's belly still showed no signs of coming out. Empress Dowager Cui is old, and her physical strength is exhausted after sitting this afternoon. Emperor Yonghe asked the Empress Dowager Cui to return to the palace first.

Empress Dowager Cui did not refuse, and stood up with the hands of Mama An and Lingxi.

When Empress Dowager Cui touched a layer of cold sweat in the palm of Lingxi's hand, her eyes looked at Lingxi. Lingxi was seen by Empress Dowager Cui and felt cold in her heart, like a man's back.

When I returned to Yongshou Palace, it was dinner time.

Lingxi ordered to pass the meal, and just after waiting for the Empress Dowager Cui with Mama An for half a bowl of porridge, news came from the Ruyi Palace. Mei Jieyu gave birth and gave birth to the fourteenth prince of the Dashun Dynasty, and the mother and son were safe. Yonghe Emperor Long Yan Dayue, Feng Mei Jieyu was named from the third grade Mei Concubine, and named the little prince Li Chenliang.

After the little eunuch who came to report retreated, Lingxi subconsciously exhaled a breath, and his heart finally fell into his stomach. Empress Dowager Cui raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand with the jade bracelet, pushed the unfinished half bowl of porridge away from her eyes, and instructed Mama An, "Take it down." He turned to Lingxi and said, "Help the mourning family up." ”

Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager Cui and followed the Empress Dowager Cui into the dormitory.

After entering the dormitory, Empress Dowager Cui let go of Lingxi's hand and suddenly shouted, "Kneel!" ”

Lingxi fell to his knees with a pop, and his heart was lifted again. This time it's not for Concubine Mei, it's for yourself.

Empress Dowager Cui walked to the phoenix couch and sat down, looked at Lingxi coldly and said, "When do you figure it out, when do you get up again." If you don't understand, you just walk out of the gate of the Eternal Longevity Palace and never come back! ”

Lingxi buckled his head, "The slave obeys the order!" ”

---

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the nineteenth year of Yonghe, the harem celebrated. One celebrates the Dragon Boat Festival, and the second celebrates the Yonghe Emperor and won the dragon.

The harem was lively and jubilant for three days and then quieted down again, and then, a nameless wind blew again.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were talking about Cui Guifei, who gave birth to the tenth princess a year ago, saying that Cui Guifei was obviously nine months pregnant at that time, but she gave birth to a fetus that was only seven months old.

What's more, it is said that the ten princesses born to Cui Guifei were not killed in vain, and there is another hidden meaning in this.

The wind was blowing, and it blew on Concubine Mei's body.

A rough palace maid waiting in the Qingle Palace whispered to others, "The child born by Concubine Mei is not full-term. ”

When others asked what the basis was, the palace maid said, "When Concubine Mei was three months pregnant, she came to Kwai Shui. ”

With the words of that little palace maid, the rumor that the fourteenth prince was not the bloodline of Emperor Yonghe spread more and more, and even reached the ears of Empress Dowager Cui, Emperor Yonghe and Empress Wang.

Emperor Yonghe was annoyed and ashamed, and reprimanded the queen for having no way to govern the harem, and actually let the palace people privately spread such unbearable words. The queen was single-mindedly aggrieved, and ordered that the source of this rumor be strictly investigated, and that she would be severely punished.

Soon, the source of the rumors was discovered. The Jimei people who lived in the Lanyue Pavilion of Anding Palace were jealous of Cui Guifei and Concubine Mei having children one after another, and they hated in their hearts, so they bribed the inferior maids in Qingle Palace to speak obscenities.

Emperor Yonghe was furious when he heard this, and ordered the Jimei people to be sent to the cold palace, and all the Jimei people were sent to the frontier and enslaved for generations.

After Jimei was beaten into the cold palace, he scolded every day, scolding Zhu Jieyu, scolding the queen and the entire Dashun harem.

Within three days, the eunuch in charge of the cold palace came to report that the guilty concubine Ji Meiren hanged herself!

It is a great joy to add a prince to the palace, but now this mourning has been added, and Emperor Yonghe is even more unhappy in his heart, and he ordered, "Jealous women are immoral, and they are innocent of death!" If you are buried in grass, you must not worship, and you will never be buried in the tomb of the concubine! ”

On the fifth day of the sixth month, Concubine Mei was pampered and coquettish, and offended Queen Wang at the full moon banquet of the fourteenth prince. Emperor Yonghe was furious and grounded him. The fourteenth prince was even removed from half of the nursing mothers and fed by Concubine Mei herself.

The turmoil in the harem has risen wave after wave, and the Yongshou Palace alone is as quiet as a paradise.

That day, Lingxi knelt in the Empress Dowager Cui's dormitory all night, and when the Empress Dowager Cui asked her to get up, her legs no longer felt the slightest. Since that day, Empress Dowager Cui did not allow Lingxi to take a step out of Yongshou Palace, and Lingxi naturally did not dare to be disobedient, knowing that he had walked back and forth from the ghost gate.

After Concubine Mei was grounded, the harem became quiet again. The scorching sun illuminated the entire harem like a steamer, making people breathless.

One afternoon, a strong wind rose and dark clouds for a moment. After a few lightning bolts, thunder thundered, followed by heavy rain.

After the Empress Dowager Cui was awakened by the thunder, she wore a lake-green embroidered skirt and a thin cloak and sat on the bamboo couch by the window in the inner hall, watching the rain from the window.

Mama An burned two pieces of warm jade sandalwood in the incense burner, and the fragrance wafted up, relieving the freshness in the rain a lot.

Lingxi took the tea cup handed over by Zhiqiu and gently placed it on the bamboo table next to the bamboo couch and the bamboo couch matching.

There was another thunderclap, and Empress Dowager Cui raised her eyebrows and came back to her senses from watching the rain. After taking a sip of tea, he asked softly, "Concubine Mei, it's been half a month since you were grounded." ”

This bitterness was placed a month ago, and Lingxi would definitely be worried about Concubine Mei after hearing it, but at this time, she just pursed the corners of her mouth and said lightly, "It's been seventeen days since I returned to the Queen Mother's words." ”

Zhiqiu knew that she couldn't hear this, and Fu Yifu retreated.

Empress Dowager Cui put the teacup back on the bamboo table and stretched out her right hand to the Lingxi. Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward to straighten the body of the Empress Dowager Cui, and took a kang pillow and put it behind her.

Empress Dowager Cui found a comfortable position to lie down again, supported the beads on her gray bun with her hand, and asked, "Fourteen princes, it's been a month and a half." ”

Mama An held the short-handled incense burner and replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

"It's pretty much it." Empress Dowager Cui took the jade Ruyi inlaid with gold on the bamboo table in her hand and played with it, and after playing for a while, she handed it to Lingxi and said, "Since the fourteenth prince was born, he has been weak and crying. Spread the family legend of mourning, and gave the fourteenth prince jade Ruyi a handle for pillows. ”

Lingxi took the jade Ruyi, and Fu Yifu said, "Yes!" ”

In the nineteenth year of Yonghe, it was the afternoon of June 22. In the pouring rain, Lingxi wore a pale pink palace dress embroidered with pomegranates, and walked to the front with a lotus leaf-green oil-paper umbrella. Behind him was Zhiyue, who was holding a brocade box, and Zhou An, who was holding an umbrella for Zhiyue. Behind Zhiyue and Zhou An, there were four third-class palace maids and two little eunuchs. A group of nine people came to the Ruyi Hall of Qingle Palace.

When he arrived at the front of the Ruyi Palace, Zhou An first handed the oil-paper umbrella to the little palace maid behind Zhiyue to hold it, and he stood on the steps of the cloister and sang loudly: "The Queen Mother is rewarded." ”

After a while, Peony walked out of the Ruyi Palace, and respectfully welcomed Lingxi, Zhiyue, and Zhou An into the Ruyi Palace.

Concubine Mei was wearing a water-clear cardigan skirt and a thin cloak embroidered with catkins, and she was already standing in the outer hall of the Ruyi Hall with the fourteenth prince in her arms.

Lingxi glanced at Concubine Mei, who had not seen her for almost two months, cleared her throat and said, "Pass on the Queen Mother's words!" ”

Concubine Mei hurriedly knelt down with the fourteenth prince in her arms, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace also knelt down.

Lingxi looked down at everyone, and continued without emotion in his voice, "Since the fourteenth prince was born, he has been weak and crying. Spread the family legend of mourning, and give the fourteenth prince jade Ruyi a handle for pillowing! ”

Inside the hall, it was so quiet that it made people's hearts chill. Everyone could clearly hear the rain hitting the roof of the Ruyi Temple, then flowing down the dripping edge, and finally hitting the ground with a crackling sound.

Concubine Mei knelt on the ground and looked at the fourteenth prince in her arms for a long time.

Zhou An stepped forward and whispered, "Concubine Mei, please pick up the Queen Mother." ”

Concubine Mei looked up at Lingxi, and a line of tears was left in the corners of her eyes. Lingxi deliberately ignored the sourness in his heart, and didn't dare to look at Concubine Mei's eyes.

Concubine Mei trembled, trembling her lips and raised her eyebrows at Lingxi and asked, "Ruyi?" ”

Lingxi closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhiyue said, "Back to Concubine Mei's words, the Queen Mother will give the fourteenth prince Yu Ruyi a pillow." ”

Concubine Mei looked down at the fourteenth prince in her arms, tears flowed uncontrollably, and the knuckles of her swaddling hands turned white, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

Zhou An fell to his knees with a puff and knocked his head down, "Please also ask Concubine Mei to pick up the Queen Mother!" ”

Concubine Mei closed her eyes, trembled and kowtowed to Lingxi, and choked up, "Fourteenth prince, thank the Empress Dowager for your reward!" ”
