Chapter 159: The Queen Mother is gone
After the New Year, that is, spring, this spring, there is a big event, that is, the Queen Mother is sick, Li Yan and the fourth master went to see the Queen Mother, only to think that the Queen Mother is afraid that she will not be able to hold on, but even if she sees it, she can't say it, she has to take care of it.
It was windy in spring, and Li Yan deliberately asked people to add more curtains in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
As for the rest of the concubines, Li Yan said, let's wait for the time when there is a need, these also need money, okay?
It's just that the Queen Mother is sick, so I still have to talk to the Fourteenth Master, so that he can have a number in his heart, and he can say a few words to the Queen Mother when he comes back from the northwest.
The fourteenth master naturally rushed back non-stop, after the spring passed, the lotus blossomed, and the fourteenth master came back.
As soon as he came back, he met the fourth master and Li Yan, and went directly to Cining Palace.
In Cining Palace, the fourteenth master changed his clothes, and after washing, he returned to the appearance of a handsome man.
The fourteenth master looks like the queen mother, different from the angular face of the fourth master, the fourteenth is softer. It's also quite warm when you laugh.
"E-niang slept for a long time today, get up and sit down at this time." The fourteenth master came over to help the Queen Mother get up, went out of the house and sat on the Taishi chair at the door.
"Our mother and son, we haven't seen each other for three years." The Queen Mother sighed.
"Yes, my son is not filial, he only cares about state affairs, and he can't come back easily." The fourteenth master sat beside the queen mother, so as not to block the sun.
"You are the person your imperial brother has to use, and it is better to have a good life than anything else. Although the mourning family can't see you, the mourning family is also comfortable. Your royal brother is filial, and your imperial sister-in-law is also excellent. and thy daughter-in-law come in continually. The Queen Mother took his hand and patted it a few times.
"Yes, thank you for your filial piety for your son." The Fourteenth Master didn't know how to say it for a while. The mother and son have not seen each other for three years, and after this meeting, it is goodbye.
"Nowadays, there are many times when I am confused. Take advantage of this situation to talk to you. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You are already a prince, and you have no added wealth." Although your sons are still young, they are all promising, Hongchun also has the title of Viscount, and the other children will earn their own future in the future. You see whether you want literature or martial arts, you don't have to worry about the title. ”
"Yes, my son understands." The Fourteenth Master said.
"The mourning family is a good fate. There was your emperor's preference before, and half of his life was smooth. It's just that I have given birth to five children in this life, but only the two of you are fine. The mourning family doesn't want the two of you to be bad. You should know what your royal brother has done to you, and you have to be grateful. The Queen Mother said solemnly.
How many years ago, Fourteen was ignorant, and he tossed with Lao Ba, but his own brother didn't mind anymore, otherwise how could he be called a prince with a heavy army?
"Yes, my son must follow his mother's teachings, and he will definitely do a good job." The Fourteenth Master hurriedly got up and said.
"Today's mourners are saying this. In your life, if you dare to do something that is not good for your imperial brother and the Qing Dynasty, when you get down, the mourning family will not recognize you. You can remember. The Queen Mother looked at the Fourteenth Master and said word by word.
The fourteenth master also knelt down busily: "Yes, my son was stupid back then, and now he is not a child." Never do anything foolish. As early as the time when the imperial brother sent his son to the army regardless of his previous suspicions, his son knew. The royal brother is the son's own brother and a mother's compatriot. The son will assist the royal brother well in this life. E-Niang, rest assured. ”
"Okay, get up." The Queen Mother smiled.
What she worries most about is that fourteen is not yet mature, and one day she will have thoughts that she shouldn't have. is a brother, and when he is an emperor, he should be respectful and humble.
"E-Niang's illness, I'm afraid it won't be long. When the mother is gone, you still have to go back to the army early. The Queen Mother looked up at the sky.
The fourteenth master wants to say Eniang, you are fine, you will be fine. But to the relieved eyes of the Queen Mother, I couldn't say a word.
The mother and son were silent for a long time. It wasn't until the wind picked up that the fourteenth master helped the queen mother back.
The fourth master naturally knew what the fourteenth master was doing, but he didn't go, since he was a child, he knew that his Eniang was different from other people's Eniang, and when he grew up, he found that it was indeed different, not his own Eniang, and then he returned to his own Eniang, and there was nothing to get close to.
Originally, when I was a child, the fourth master was also resentful, and Eniang was better to the fourteenth brother than to the master, and then I figured it out. Whose Eniang is not good to the small? When Eniang gave birth to her fourteenth brother, she was in her thirties, and when she was old enough to have children, she naturally had to cherish more.
The fourth master thought faintly, and there was still a little loneliness in his smile.
The fourth master thought that no matter who it was, he hoped that it was a unique treasure in the eyes of his parents. So he treats the kids like this. They are all different, but they are all treasures.
But even if that's the case, I'm particularly partial to the ones born of small things, and I'm still like this, not to mention Eniang.
Concubine De really didn't know if she could deny her eldest son.
After the recognition, the mother and son were separated for too long. Their personalities can't be figured out clearly for a while, and there must be some estrangement.
But over the years, the Queen Mother has also cared about the fourth master from the bottom of her heart. However, the fourth master is the fourth master, not the vicious Yongzheng, so naturally there will be no tragic stories.
In fact, the fourth master himself has a number in his heart. Because of this, he doesn't care about the rule that he can't raise his own children regardless of his noble position. However, it will also be based on the conduct of these concubines to see if they will be promoted, after all, if they have children, it is still like this, and it is not good for children.
Later, no matter who it is, your own children, you still have to raise them yourself.
He had grievances, so he didn't want the children to have them again.
Before dawn, the fourth master and Li Yan arrived at Cining Palace.
The physician asserted that it was today.
The Queen Mother had been in a complete coma since three days ago. Except for the last court, the fourth master almost kept guard. The fourteenth master never left the palace.
The emperors and grandchildren are waiting outside, the concubines are outside, the queen mother lying behind the inside, the two imperial doctors who are guarding, and the fourth master, Li Lu, and the fourteenth master.
From dark to dawn, from dawn to bright day.
The Queen Mother finally showed signs of waking up.
A quarter of an hour later, she woke up, her face flushed with puffiness, and her eyes not as cloudy as before.
Seeing that she was awake, the fourth master hurriedly shouted: "Huang Eniang? ”
The Queen Mother turned her head with difficulty, looked at the people in the room, and after looking around, she opened her mouth and said, "What time is it today?" ”
"It's August 20." Li Yan said busily.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment before she said, "Today is the birthday of the sixth child." ”
Everyone was stunned, and then they remembered that the sixth son of Kangxi, the sixth brother of the fourth master, Yinzuo, died in March. In the end, I remember it so clearly.
"Huang Eniang, the sixth brother has been gone for many years, don't be sad." The fourth master said softly.
"Don't be sad, the mourning family is also going. Not only can I see your sixth brother, but also your seventh, ninth, and twelfth sisters. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Oh, and your Emperor Ama has also seen it." It's just that I have to fight over there, and the mourning family really doesn't want to fight. The mourning family envies your queen. ”
The fourteenth master has already cried, Eniang has never spoken like this, so it can be seen that it is not good.
"Huang Eniang, don't envy me, you go over there, you don't have to fight. Your son is the emperor, and you are the queen of the first emperor in the past. Li Yan said with tears in his eyes.
"Hey, the queen is not the only one who mourns, she still has to fight. The mourning family has not seen the first emperor's concubine, and I heard that the Hesheri clan is extremely beautiful. The Queen Mother smiled as if yearning.
"Huang Eniang......" The fourteenth master finally broke down and cried and knelt in front of the bed.
"What are you crying about? Isn't it a matter of time? No one in the mourning family is worried, they are all old people. The Queen Mother looked around again and said dissatisfiedly: "Mourning the family's page Bozhe, where is Hongxu?" ”
"The concubine will call them in." Li Yan hurriedly got up and said.
After a while, Ye Bozhe came in with Hongxu, whose eyes were swollen from crying.
Although Hongxi and Baoyi are still young, they also know what death is, so they won't be able to see Huang Mama in the future?
"Huang Ma Ma." Both children knelt in front of the bed.
"Huang Mama, don't go, woo, don't leave the treasure." Baoyi took the hand of the Queen Mother and cried a lot.
The Queen Mother touched his head with difficulty: "Good, don't cry, Huang Mama is old." Will definitely go. You're not small anymore. In the future, listen to your Emperor Ama's words and listen to your mother's words. Listen to your brothers, okay? ”
"Okay, woo-woo." Baoyi wanted to cry, but the brothers had told him to endure it, otherwise Huang Mama would be sad.
looked at his younger brother again, looked at his younger brother's red little eyes, reached out and touched Hongxi: "Brother is good, don't cry." ”
is too good-looking, according to the appearance of Baoyi's sister, and smiled in his heart.
Then he asked, "Let the children come in, and the mourners want to take one last look." Can Hongchun be available? ”
"If you go back to the emperor's mother, Hongchun is also there. Then the son called them. The fourth master said busily.
In a short time, it was full of emperors and grandsons. The first is the child of the fourth master's family, and Hongchun is relatively backward.
The Queen Mother looked over one by one, smiled, and said nothing.
just turned his head and said to the fourteenth master: "After the mourning family goes, you only need to keep the spirit for seven days and then go back to the army." State affairs are paramount. ”
"Yes, Huang Eniang." The fourteenth master endured the heartache and said with tears in his eyes.
"Okay, you're all fine, mourning home." After the Queen Mother said this with a smile, she closed her eyes.
The fourth master was startled, so he stretched out his hand, but his snort was already broken.
He slowly lowered his hand and knelt down: "The emperor's mother is good." ”
Li Yan and the children of the Fourteenth Master said together: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother." ”
Su Peisheng walked out of the door of Cining Palace and said loudly: "The Queen Mother is gone!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the eunuchs in other places also said loudly: "The Queen Mother is gone!" ”
This sentence resounded in the Forbidden City. Accompanied by the crying of the emperor's grandsons and concubines in the palace, it was really tearful.
Li Yan thought while kowtowing. In his previous life, the old man said that when a person is dying, he does not struggle, does not toss, but closes his eyes and disappears.
Recall, although the Queen Mother has been ill for more than a year, she has not suffered anymore when she closes her eyes. I think he is also a person of creation.
She kowtows extremely respectfully, and she likes the Queen Mother.
This person never made things difficult for her, and always helped her. It's good for the children from the heart.
After that, it will never be seen again.
