Act 118 No matter how bitter the medicine is, there is a good remedy
Remember in a second
Since then, Sheng Cairen will come to Deren Palace every day to ask Yuxuan for peace, and then insist on staying to learn red bean cakes, several times Yuxuanxun can't bear to erase the expectation in Aunt Weining's eyes, and finally agreed under Shi Ruomei's reluctance.
But in the past few days, Yuxuanxun has never really planned to teach her, but still let her pick beans in the yard.
Gradually, the Sheng Cai people did not have the original resistance, but were a little comfortable.
"Auntie, it seems that her attitude towards you has changed a lot." Yu Xuanxun looked at Aunt Wei Ning who came over with an empty cup and said.
She just smiled slightly, "It's a blessing that she didn't refuse the old slave." ”
Shi Ruomei sneered disapprovingly, "I advise my aunt not to be happy too early, I'm afraid that these are all superficial phenomena pretended to be by Sheng Cairen." ”
Yu Xuanxun secretly pinched her, changed the topic, and said, "Auntie, don't listen to her nonsense, isn't there something cooking in the kitchen, go and take a look." ”
"Then the old slave will retire first." Aunt Weining withdrew in a hurry.
Yu Xuanxun helplessly looked at Shi Ruomei, who had nothing to do with him, and persuaded, "I also understand that Sheng Cairen will not change their hostility towards me so easily, these are nothing more than superficial efforts to curry favor with the emperor." ”
"Since you know everything, why do you have to act with her." Shi Ruomei asked angrily.
"You don't understand that." Yu Xuanxun shook his head slightly, looking at Sheng Cairen in the courtyard who was still picking beans unhurriedly, "If the play doesn't continue to act, how can we know what her real purpose is, and if you want to keep Aunt Weining, Sheng Cairen is the most critical person." ”
"I hope it won't backfire, and in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty." Shi Ruomei sighed disfavorably.
Yu Xuanxun smiled lightly, "So what, originally Sheng Cairen was not in the plan, but her sudden fawning over had some of a role in fueling the trouble, and this palace just wanted to see how far she could go." ”
Today, the emperor did not come here for dinner, but just sent a little eunuch to pass the word, because he was a little worried about Yuxuanxun, he casually found an excuse to send Sheng Cairen away.
It wasn't until the next day that I learned that since the death of the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu, the Empress Dowager Xiaohui was reluctant to go out of the room for a long time because of a trace of guilt about her, and she didn't eat much, and the whole person lost a lot of weight.
The emperor was worried that the Empress Dowager Xiaohui's body would not be able to support it in the long run, so the concubines in the harem had to find a way to make the Empress Dowager Xiaohui smile again.
If you can successfully open the heart knot of the Empress Dowager Xiaohui, the emperor will definitely be rewarded.
As a concubine in the harem, serving the Queen Mother is also a matter of duty, but because of Princess Rui's affairs, I am afraid that the Queen Mother Xiaohui is still prejudiced against herself, so she dispelled the idea of going to the Cixiang Palace.
Then he ordered someone to pass the word to Sheng Cairen, if he failed to solve the problem of the queen mother, he would not use Deren Palace to learn art.
Without the Deren Palace, which is full of talents, it makes people feel that it is suddenly quiet and lonely.
I'm afraid the most lost person is none other than Aunt Weining.
After lunch, Yu Xuanxun sat alone in the courtyard in a daze, and Shi Ruomei sat opposite her with a sad face, sighing all the time.
Yu Xuanxun, who was disturbed, asked incomprehensibly, "Who provoked us Ruomei, let's tell this palace, so that I can give you ideas to vent my anger." ”
"I'm afraid you're not very happy to help with this." Shi Ruomei sighed again and explained, "You don't know, since my sister was promoted to a concubine, the control over me has become tighter and tighter. You said that it was rare for me to go to Liuyu Palace to see her, but she kept preaching to me as soon as we met. ”
"Maybe I don't think you're angry."
"You're right." Shi Ruo's face was full of helplessness, "I know why my father and mother have always taken special care of my second sister since I was a child, the reason is that they are like a family, and their thoughts are the same." I can't figure it out, what's so bad about being a princess, and being a princess is the right way out. ”
Yu Xuanxun pretended to be curious and asked, "Haven't you really thought about the emperor in your heart?" ”
"Nope." Shi Ruomei expressed his heart very seriously, "I can swear, whether I entered the palace before or after entering the palace, I have never had any wrong thoughts about the emperor, because my heart has been given to others long before entering the palace." ”
Although the latter words were like mosquitoes, they were still heard by Yu Xuanxun, and he smiled with relief, "This palace knows that your thoughts are all on the eleventh prince now, where can you take care of the emperor." ”
"That's because the emperor is the love of your life, so I won't think about it at all." Shi Ruomei said firmly, "I will definitely protect your happiness." ”
Yu Xuanxun gratefully held her hand, "This palace will also protect your happiness, and will never let anyone separate you and the eleventh prince." ”
Let Ye Xun, a passerby, completely disappear from her heart, and the eleventh prince is her best choice.
"If you really want my good, find a way to solve this problem of the Empress Dowager Xiaohui, otherwise I won't be able to escape being nagged by my sister."
Even though she had some guilt in her heart, Yu Xuanxun finally agreed to her request.
The next day, accompanied by Shi Ruomei, I went to the Cixiang Palace, and when Concubine Xin and they were there, the atmosphere fell into a state of condensation after a simple salute.
After a stalemate for a while, Yu Xuanxun broke the deadlock first and said, "The concubine came here this time to prepare a delicacy for the Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother can like it when she sees it." ”
"The Queen Mother has just used the meal, don't take any coarse food for the Queen Mother to taste, the Queen Mother Xiaohui is different from the Queen Mother Xiaoyu, and she can't get used to eating your winter melons or something." Concubine Xin couldn't help but tease her when she seized the opportunity.
Yuxuan was not annoyed or anxious, and asked Shi Ruomei to take out the contents of the lunch box, "Concubine Xin doesn't know, although this delicacy is not as exquisite as the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but the emperor ordered the palace to make it himself, saying that the queen mother will be in a good mood after seeing it." ”
"Looking for a concubine, don't rely on the emperor's favor to do things in the name of the emperor, the emperor has never left the imperial study in the past few days, and whose will did you get it from."
"Okay, the mourning family understands what Concubine Xin means, so it's okay to take a look." Empress Dowager Xiaohui listlessly interrupted Concubine Xin's words.
Shi Ruomei handed a plate of dumplings to the Queen Mother, Yu Xuanxun said, "This dumpling is made in the shape of the emperor's drawing, saying that the emperor was sick when he was a child and didn't want to eat the extremely bitter medicine, but he couldn't eat candied fruit, so the Queen Mother thought of this method and wrapped the sweet sauce into the dumplings to coax the emperor to drink all the medicine." ”
"Although the dumplings are strange, every time it is time to drink the medicine, the emperor will consciously drink the medicine as soon as he sees it. The phenomenon of delaying the condition due to not taking medicine has not reappeared. The Queen Mother's face showed a rare smile, "More than ten years have passed, and the emperor has grown up, and there are several of you concubines, but unfortunately I haven't been able to spread the branches for the royal family." ”
Yu Xuanxun followed the words of the Empress Dowager Xiaohui and persuaded, "I think that the Empress Dowager has been alienated from the emperor because of some misunderstandings, which has caused you to miss a lot of time between your mother and son. Now that you can be reunited, the emperor also has a lot of things in his heart that he can't say to the queen mother. ”
"The mourning family is not the same, but they have never found a suitable opportunity." The words of the Empress Dowager Xiaohui were quite weak.
Yu Xuanxun comforted, "Because of this, the Queen Mother has to take care of her body even more." The emperor is busy dealing with state affairs, even if he is worried, he can't take away for a while, but if the emperor finds that the queen mother's condition is more serious, I am afraid that he will no longer have the heart to deal with the major affairs of the court and China. ”
"What Concubine Xun said is that for the sake of the emperor, the Queen Mother should not blame herself for the matter of the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu." Sheng Cairen helped Yuxuan to persuade him, "The Empress Dowager Xiaoyu is gone, you are the master of the harem, if something happens to you again, how can we concubines feel better." ”
Empress Dowager Xiaohui sighed and waved her hand, "No matter how bitter the medicine is, there is a good prescription, and the mourning family has figured it out, it is the mourning family who is too obsessed with He'er's affairs, which makes Xiaoyu's sister die with hatred." ”
"The Empress Dowager Xiaoyu's body has not improved, and the sudden deterioration of her condition is really an accident, how can you blame the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager Xiaohui didn't pay attention to Concubine Xin's words, and said to herself, "The mourning family shouldn't be angry with Princess Rui again, she has already died for He'er, the grievances between us should have been over a long time ago, but the mourning family couldn't figure it out." ”
"The Queen Mother has untied the knot in her heart now, and it's not too late." Yuxuan smiled lightly, "If the Queen Mother likes these dumplings, as long as you speak, the concubines will send some more tomorrow." ”
Empress Dowager Xiaohui picked one and put it in her mouth, "No need, the mourning family's illness has been cured." ”
"The concubine is really happy for the Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother will rest sooner, and the concubine will retire first without bothering." Yu Xuanxun didn't want to linger longer, so he got up and prepared to leave.
Empress Dowager Xiaohui called her, "Slow." He motioned to the palace maid beside her to hand the dumplings back to her, "The mourning family doesn't need your dumplings anymore, so take them back with you." ”
Yu Xuanxun knew that the Queen Mother still had a grudge against her, although she was a little unhappy, but it was not shown on her face, "The concubine obeys the order, and she will retire." ”
Shi Ruomei came out of the Cixiang Palace with the dumplings in a huff, and poured all the dumplings into the lake in a fit of anger, "I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks, she always targets you intentionally or unintentionally, and she starts to exclude you as soon as she is in a good mood." If I had known that, I shouldn't have asked you to persuade her. ”
"You, beware of being heard." Yu Xuanxun didn't take the Queen Mother's words to heart for too long, "It doesn't matter what kind of attitude the Empress Dowager Xiaohui has towards the palace, the important thing is that the emperor has always had the palace in his heart." ”
"I'm afraid that they will continue to chew their tongues in front of the Queen Mother, which will affect the relationship between you and the emperor."
"I believe that after several partings, the emperor will not easily leave the palace."
"What if something like this happens again?"
"I don't know about this palace, maybe I won't know until the end of the day."
"Then I hope that day will never come."
