Chapter 47: The Chosen One
One night of spring rain, the flowers and trees in the garden have drawn new shoots, Baozhitian has not yet dawned, so he took Midsummer to the garden to pick dewdrops, others picked dew cellar to keep cooking tea, Baozhi picked dew but it was to make incense, Queen Wei learned, straight she is an idiot.
The prince was busy here, but the prince suddenly fainted, and the palace people were in a hurry, and the doctor only said yes, "The prince has been sick and weak since he was a child, and the weather alternates between cold and warm, so he suddenly became ill." ”
The prince didn't wake up after three days of sleep, and the emperor came to Queen Wei after going to the court, and after listening to the report of the servant, he couldn't help but be a little anxious: "What's the use of these quacks!" ”
Li Jin, who has always been silent, took the opportunity to propose: "Father, the son thinks that it is better to invite Master Huitong to do a ritual for the imperial brother." ”
For the prince's affairs, Empress Wei has always avoided it, and when she saw her son speak at this moment, she was a little unhappy, "Yu'er! Your father's decision is your father's decision, and you don't have to say more! ”
Li Jin knew his mother's concerns, and in the past, he was like his mother, not saying much, but this time was a good opportunity, and he must seize it.
The emperor was very pleased with the deep brotherhood of his sons, and he trusted Master Huitong a lot, so he asked people to invite him without much thought.
"I heard that you have a strange little girl, call me, and let me take a look."
Baozhi changed into a set of Hunan moire dresses from midsummer, she was in a hurry, she didn't prepare anything, and most of the ones she wore now were rewarded by the queen mother and the virtuous concubine after entering the palace.
Midsummer helped her dress in an orderly manner, and at the same time whispered in her ear about the palace rules and etiquette of the emperor: "When you see the emperor, remember not to lose your courtesy, even if you feel that he is friendly, you must also remember that it is the emperor, don't say more." In case it angers Long Yan and treats you as a royal deceit, don't talk about you, even your family may be implicated. ”
After a meal, Baozhi was half stunned, and saw whether Shengyan should be happy or sad, so he had to take a breath and respond with 120,000 spirits.
Baozhi found that the emperor was really as rumored, treating people with generosity and kindness, and after she knelt on the ground and saluted, she shouted, without the slightest embarrassment, nor the slightest harshness.
Although she didn't dare to look up, she could tell from her voice that he was smiling.
"Elder Zhao Ge, is it your uncle?"
"Back to the emperor, Zhao Ge Lao is the uncle of the courtier."
The emperor seemed to think of something again, and asked the queen: "Is the sachet that the fourth old man picked up this child?" ”
Empress Wei glanced at Li Yao, and when she saw that he didn't dare to come out, she couldn't help but wonder: "Actually, it was picked up by Yao'er, and the fourth child just likes to have fun." ”
The emperor thinks about the personalities of his two sons, isn't that the case, the third child doesn't care much about anything, he is cold, even if he picks up the sachet, most of them are thrown aside, but the fourth child loves to play since he was a child.
"Was your father an official?"
Fathers in most of the world are a hobby, when they see their own children, they have to take the school examination, and when they see other children, they have to ask their father what they do, and the emperor is no exception.
Baozhi carefully recalled: "Back to the emperor, my father died of illness in the fifth year of Decheng's tenure. ”
It seems that it is really as Concubine Xian said, she is a child of a scholarly family, and if she is said to the prince, it will be okay. When Master Huitong came, he asked if it would be better to be happy for the prince at this time.
"Raise your head and let me see." A blessed woman looks very average, and she can't look too bad as a side concubine.
Baozhi raised his head calmly according to what Midsummer had taught before, and his eyes were lowered and he did not look directly at the emperor on the seat.
is not very old, she is a beauty, with such a look, she will not be left out in the cold when the concubine enters the door in the future.
Li Yu was shocked in his eyes, his father was here to see the treasure for the crown prince, although his face was still cold, but his clenched fists revealed his emotions.
Empress Wei secretly wondered, the emperor likes Baozhi, but her son is not happy, but uneasy and nervous, why is this? Is there anything she doesn't know? After the emperor left, Wei
The queen sent someone to find out what was going on.
Master Huitong was summoned to enter the palace to do a ritual for the prince.
Before the ceremony, the emperor came overnight to talk with Huitong.
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have something on your mind." Smartcom slowly picked up the sunspots.
The emperor sighed in the face of the chess game that was about to lose: "The prince is sick and weak, and I know in my heart that it is not wise to make him his heir, but..."
"Huitong, do you think if you take a concubine for the crown prince, how about Chong Chongxi?"
Master Huitong recited a sentence from the Buddha: "The poor monk thinks that it is not appropriate." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The person who Your Majesty wants is the chosen one, and it is not appropriate to take care of it."
"What do you mean, Huitong, do you know who I want?"
Master Huitong smiled compassionately and said with deep meaning: "This woman is deeply blessed, if she is a side concubine, I am afraid that she will not be happy when the time comes." ”
The emperor was shocked, this is to say that being a side concubine is wronging her. It seems that this matter has to be put on hold for the time being.
"What does it mean to be the chosen one?"
"I can't say it, I can't say it." The rosary in his hand turned.
The emperor alone secretly pondered, what does the chosen one mean. At the concubine's place at night, he said unintentionally.
Concubine Xian heard that the blessings of the treasure are profound, and even the identity of the prince can't suppress her, so who else can marry her, or the chosen one, is it possible to be the queen?
Such a person, she can't wait to ignore it anymore, whether to treat her in a different way...
The prince woke up leisurely from the day Huitong entered the palace, and now he is getting better.
On this day, Mrs. Zhenxi Hou brought her daughter to greet Empress Wei.
Empress Wei saw that Tang Wan was about the same age as Yongning and Baozhi, so she asked their little sisters to go down to play.
Before, Concubine Xian Niangniang had been detaining Yongning by her side, recently, she let Yongning and Bao play together, Yongning and Bao Zhi were the same year, but a few months younger, because of Bao's baby face, it looks like Yongning is older.
Two girls in one place, it's hello and I'm good, three girls in one place, you have to give birth to a I and her are good, she is good with you.
As soon as Tang Wan came, she pulled Yongning to the side and cooed, the two laughed and made a bunch, Baozhi didn't pay attention to it, just sat aside and drank tea, she disdained the jealousy between these little girls.
Tang Wan has hated Baozhi since she attracted butterflies at the banquet and was compared with her, how could her reputation as a talented woman in Beijing be easily taken away by this fatherless orphan girl!
This time, I heard that the emperor wanted to give the treasure to the prince as a side concubine, but she was cultivated as a future princess since she was a child.
Princess Yongning, is the only princess in the saint today, since she was a child, she has been loved by the saint like a treasure, and she is simply ignorant of the world, if she is tired of Zhang Baozhi, she naturally has no place in the palace.
