In May of the twenty-first year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle did not go to court for several days.
In the past few months, Emperor Yongle has often been unable to come to the court in person because of headaches, and most of the affairs in the country are handled by the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.
He fell ill again this time, not to mention the government and the opposition, even the concubines in the inner palace were also quite worried about the emperor's health and their own fate.
In the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, several palace maids hid in the angle and whispered.
"This is the emperor's first attack this year? Fifth or sixth? โ
Yang Ning, a small waiter in charge of decoction and medicine, whispered: "To say something rebellious, the emperor's current body is really strong on the outside and dry in the middle, I eavesdropped on the words of the imperial doctors, and it is estimated that the emperor's body is no longer good, but it is hanging by those good medicines, and the imperial doctors all say that it is only the situation of the past two years, and you have to pay attention to it, and you can't be stimulated." โ
"Huh? In case the emperor ...... Then the successor is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? โ
"That's not necessarily, you haven't seen the emperor recently and refused to see the prince, and he blocked it back twice today. I heard from the guards that the emperor was annoyed that the prince was in power without authorization, and there were rumors in the outer court that the emperor did not like His Royal Highness the crown prince and intended to pass on the throne to His Royal Highness King Zhao. โ
There was a palace maid who disagreed, "I just don't like His Royal Highness the Prince, it should be His Royal Highness the King of Han, how can it be His Royal Highness the King of Zhao?" The emperor likes His Royal Highness the King of Han the most, His Royal Highness the King of Han has outstanding appearance and excellent martial arts, and he is most like the emperor. โ
"If you want to say like, who else is more like the emperor than His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun? King Han was happy that year, just because the emperor didn't want to see him, or King Zhao had a good chance of winning, our current capital was his territory before, didn't the emperor also get up from here? โ
A little palace maid said: "But I think, or the prince's chances of winning, although the emperor has not been waiting to see the prince recently, but has never blocked His Royal Highness the imperial grandson, and let the concubines of His Royal Highness the imperial grandson to serve in front of the sick, I also heard the concubine read a passage to the emperor yesterday, this end of the palace and Ciqing Palace are one, since the emperor attaches so much importance to His Royal Highness the imperial grandson, indicating that His Royal Highness the crown prince has not diminished, I bet that His Royal Highness the prince won." โ
"No, although His Royal Highness the King of Han's Tiance Guard went to the two guards, his reputation was somewhat damaged, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, plus there is King Zhao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to win the battle."
An older palace maid said: "It doesn't matter which prince will inherit the unification, are we all slaves?" What is the difference between serving the crown prince or serving the king of Han and the king of Zhao? Anyway, we are all minions, what does it have to do with us who is the emperor? Stop talking about it, go to work, otherwise Huang Gonggong will see it for a while, and you will have to suffer some hardships. โ
Yang Ning, the little chamberlain, shook his head, "Sister, what she said is wrong, which prince is on the throne, how can it have no impact on us, that impact is great." Have you heard? A few days ago, Huang Gonggong was reprimanded by His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that the eunuchs in the inner palace were bullying people and asked him, the big eunuch, to discipline him strictly. What kind of person is Gonggong Huang, who was buried in front of Emperor Jianwen when the emperor was still King Yan, he is a red man, and he was trained by His Royal Highness the Prince, does he still have face? This is not it, he turned around and worked with Jiang Baojiang's father-in-law to give advice to the emperor, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not sympathetic to his subordinates, he is quite disrespectful to the old man, and he does not take the emperor in his eyes. If this is really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can we still have a good life for our servants? โ
The other little chamberlains listened and nodded repeatedly.
"Again, according to the usual practice, after the emperor's big trip, the ladies who have children in the inner palace are fine, or follow the prince to live in the palace, or be given another place by the new emperor to live, but which ladies who have not given birth are either martyred, or go to the temple to cultivate, as soon as the new emperor ascends the throne, those ladies who have no heirs will be miserable, which prince is close to, you can decide whether to die or live, if the ladies die, can the servants still live?"
Hearing such an analysis, the palace maids were in an uproar, "In our palace, all the mothers who have children have gone, and the rest are all childless, how many people have to die......
"Not necessarily, it depends on the emperor's edict and the meaning of the new emperor."
"Then let's ask God to bless and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherit the throne, His Royal Highness the Prince is the most benevolent."
Yang Ning, the little chamberlain, sneered, "Gonggong Jiang said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is all for people to see, you see that the emperor has been in poor health recently, didn't he take our eunuch first?" Perhaps, when he ascends the throne, he will die the most. โ
"Impossible, according to me, there are many dead, it must be His Royal Highness the King of Han, the King of Han is martial, and people who are good at martial arts are generally thirsty for killing, don't you see our emperor is ...... On the eighth day of April in the nineteenth year of that year, Fengtian, Huagai, and Jinshen three halls were subjected to lightning, causing a fire, which was built for thirteen years before the new palace was built, and it was burned in less than four months after completion, which shows that God has the virtue of a good life, and warned the emperor. โ
The little chamberlain Yang Ning hurriedly waved his hand, "Shhhh โ
The older palace maid said, "Which sentence did we just say, don't lose your head?" Let's say that, no one should say half a word to the outside world, let's go, after a while, Gonggong Jiang or Gonggong Huang will come over and see it, and we will not be able to eat and walk around. โ
Hearing her words, the chamberlains and palace maids looked around nervously, and then scattered away.
The dormitory of the Qianqing Palace.
Envoy Liu Yuan watched Emperor Yongle take the medicine, and said warmly: "Your Majesty, the most important thing for you now is to take care of the dragon body, remember not to worry about it, and the diet should also be light and nourishing, and you must not eat hot and hot, spicy and stimulating food." โ
Emperor Yongle did not open his closed eyes.
Sun Qingyang, who was waiting on the side, said: "Rest assured, I will definitely pay attention to these taboos." โ
Since the princess gave birth to Jinxiu, her health has been good for three days and two days, so in the palace, the princess pointed to Sun Qingyang, who has a good memory and is thoughtful, and He Jiayu, who can speak well and please people, to serve the sick.
Although Sun Qingyang is only a concubine now, the crown princess hopes that through this illness, she can get close to Emperor Yongle and restore her position as a concubine of the grandson with the credit of treating the emperor's illness.
Although Emperor Yongle has not forced Zhu Zhanji to set up another noble concubine in recent years, Ciqing Palace and Duanben Palace have been refuted several times when they proposed to restore Sun Qingyang's position, so no one can understand what Emperor Yongle's attitude is.
Fortunately, this time let Sun Qingyang enter the palace to serve the sick, and Emperor Yongle did not object.
These days, because of Sun Qingyang's dedication, sometimes when she woke up, Emperor Yongle also asked her to tell two sentences of the anecdotes she saw in the idle book, and listened to Zhu Zhanji's return to state affairs, and did not let her deliberately avoid it.
The envoy of the Liu Yuan listened to Sun Qingyang's answer and nodded at her, "There are nobles who bother." He said no more, picked up the medicine box and bowed down.
Probably because it was going to rain, the sun was blocked by dark clouds, so it was dark early.
Under the light of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Yongle leaned on the bright yellow woven gold brocade pillow and listened to Zhu Zhanji read the excerpt to him.
These days, Emperor Yongle is seriously ill, and most of the government affairs are handed over to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to deal with, and some of them are handed over to Zhu Zhanji for training, but he will still let the prince pick out the important state and military affairs to report.
Recently, because I heard the close servants Huang Yan and Jiang Bao repeatedly say that the prince is arrogant, in the court and the opposition, everyone only says that there is a prince, and I don't know the emperor and the like, although he did not send the prince, but he also did not like to see him, so the person who reads the important excerpt every day has been changed to Zhu Zhanji.
Every time Zhu Zhanji finished reading an excerpt, Emperor Yongle would first ask his opinion, and then point out the gains and losses, and the grandfather and grandson would talk a few words from time to time.
Regarding state affairs, the chamberlains and palace maids were all standing far away, waiting beside them, and Sun Qingyang was also waiting outside the tent, thinking that she would wait for Zhu Zhanji to finish her work for a while, so she could calculate the time to decoct the medicine, although this job was done by the chamberlain, but as the granddaughter-in-law of the concubine who served the sick, she had to stare on the sidelines in order to show her concern for Emperor Yongle's body.
Huang Yan came in lightly and said to Sun Qingyang: "Changchun Palace came to pass the word, Concubine Long Hui asked Concubine Sun to go for a visit." โ
Sun Qingyang glanced at Emperor Yongle and Zhu Zhanji, who were still talking, and asked in a low voice, "Does Gonggong Huang know what Concubine Long Hui is looking for me for?" โ
Emperor Yongle fell ill this time, for some reason, he didn't let any of his three palaces and six courtyards serve in front of him, some people say that he was frightened by the fact that Wang Guifei Niangniang was poisoned by the people around him that year, so he believed in his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law more, so this time he picked He Jiayu and Sun Qingyang of Duanbengong to take on this important task.
In fact, the ones who are most looking forward to Emperor Yongle's longevity are the concubines of his three palaces and six courts, after all, his life and death are connected with their life and death.
In the past, Emperor Yongle also let those concubines serve in front of him, staring at decoctions, tea, and food, but this time, for some reason, he pointed to the people who asked the crown princess to send the palace, saying that he should also enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren.
In fact, the truth Sun Qingyang heard Zhu Zhanji say that it was Yuan Tianshi who told Emperor Yongle that people who are seriously ill can see vivid colors and young faces, which is more conducive to recovering their spirits, and it is the same as holding a baby often, which can increase life expectancy and good luck.
So although she is sick, Aunt Yuning dresses her every day solemnly and lively, so that Emperor Yongle looks at people, and feels in a good mood and in good spirits.
Because of this, the ladies in the palace often summoned the chamberlains and maids of the Qianqing Palace to ask Emperor Yongle about his condition.
Because Sun Qingyang and He Jiayu have to take turns to serve the sick every day, the ladies have never called the two of them directly.
Therefore, Sun Qingyang will have such a question.
Huang Yan said with a smile: "The slave thinks, most likely Concubine Hui is looking for you to ask about the emperor's physical condition." โ
Among the four concubines who jointly manage the affairs of the house, this Concubine Long Hui is the most uncontrollable, and it is not surprising that she called Sun Qingyang to ask.
Listening to what Huang Yan said, Sun Qingyang nodded, "Then there is Gonggong Lao who serves carefully here, and I will come when I go." โ
"Concubine Sun, don't worry, this is a matter of servants." He beckoned and instructed Yang Ning, the little chamberlain beside him, "Haosheng leads Concubine Sun to Changchun Palace, if there is a slight mistake, your legs will be broken." โ
Huang Yan is the close attendant of Emperor Yongle, the most favored, and the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, with him here, Sun Qingyang is very relieved, so he went with Yang Le.
