Chapter 172: Ji'an Fang
The next day, Mu Beiyi's burning did not fade, and the person became even more drowsy. He whispered once in the early daylight, but without three breaths, he fell asleep again. This made Feng Tang anxious, and he went back and forth between the Tai Hospital and the Jianghe Hall two or three times an hour, and almost brought all the Tai Doctors of the Tai Hospital.
Since Pillow Spring is pregnant, it is inconvenient to serve closely. She was now standing in a corner outside the dormitory where the light could shine, caressing the lattice of the window and eating the fruit.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty seems to have woken up a bit." Su Bai said from the inside of the screen.
Pillow spring chin, glimpse the outside of the wall of the Jianghe Palace, slowly turning the green gold cover.
came first, and it was indeed Liu Anran.
At first glance, I heard the shouting outside, "The queen mother has arrived-", and saw Liu Anran hurrying in with a group of palace attendants.
Pillow Chun was not in a hurry to greet her, she slowly spit out the nucleus in the veil, and waited for Liu Anran to enter the Jianghe Palace, before she moved two steps slowly: "The queen mother is blessed." ”
"Concubine Ming shouldn't be so confused even if she is a favorite crown harem, how can Your Majesty be sick in a daze after resting in the Jianghe Palace for a few days!" Liu Anran's eyes were full of anxiety, and he was so worried when he thought that his beloved was suffering from illness, and reprimanded: "Now that you are lazy in the palace, why didn't you enter the palace to serve Your Majesty?!" ”
"Your Majesty rests in the Jianghe Palace......" Pillow Chun raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Anran, she stood up without waiting for permission, "But she didn't rest in Huangyuan Palace, so how His Majesty was sick and how sick, the queen didn't know." She stepped forward and stood in front of the door of the dormitory, not letting Liu Anran's anxious eyes look inside, "Pingbai made a confused correction, saying so, so that the concubine was wronged." ”
"What happened to Your Majesty?" Liu Anran wanted to bypass the pillow spring and look inside.
Pillow Chun moved his steps, and blocked it again. She said aloud: "The imperial doctor said that Your Majesty has a cold and fever and needs to recuperate. It was from last night that the heat suddenly began, and it was difficult to wake up in a drowsy state. ”
Liu Anran raised his eyebrows impatiently, and his voice raised a little: "It's hard to wake up?" With such a serious illness, why are you still in the way of being here and not going in to serve?! Your Jianghe Palace is remote and has few people, and it is the most inconvenient, according to what you can see in this palace, you should ask Your Majesty to move to Huangyuan Palace or Qianxi Palace. She motioned for Pillow Spring to give way, "Get out of the way." ”
Pillow Chun moved one step further: "Since Your Majesty is drowsy, where is the movement labor." Although the concubine is stupid, it is also for the sake of His Majesty's body. ”
"Get out of the way!" Liu Anran was really difficult to entangle with Pillow Chun, she stretched out her hand and pushed Pillow Chun's shoulder.
"Ouch." Pillow Chun took two steps back, one wall screaming, and the other wall falling into a hot embrace.
"What's going on?" Mu Beiyi's face was pale, and his eyelids were red due to fever. He wore plain clothes and took the pillow in his arms.
Liu Anran waited to see it clearly, and hurriedly pulled her skirt to meet her, a little caught off guard: "Concubine Ming deliberately blocked the door, and the concubine just told her to get out of the way." ”
Pillow Chun simply had soft bones, and he was aggrieved and fell into Mu Beiyi's arms. She slowly wiped the corners of her eyes with her cuffs, probed her lower abdomen with her hand, and choked up: "The concubine is also for the sake of His Majesty's rest and purity, and she also blames the concubine for being stupid and disgusted by the queen." The concubine will accompany the queen first. It's just that the queen mother punished the concubine for a small ......" and snorted as she spoke, as if she was in pain, "The concubine is worried about the imperial heir in her womb, if it falls, the concubine can't afford it even if she has a hundred heads." ”
Liu Anran stood in place, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"The Imperial Heir?" Mu Beiyi hugged the pillow Chun tightly, he was very happy, and suddenly let go of the hand that hugged the pillow Chun. He turned his back and coughed twice, and seemed to be much better: "Is that really the case? ”
Pillow Chun nodded shyly and happily: "It's true." Yesterday, His Majesty had a fever and fell asleep, and the concubine invited the imperial doctor to come for treatment. Because the concubine also felt sluggish and lazy these days, she thought it was also because of the wind and cold, so she asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it...... I didn't think of it, but there it was. ”
Liu Anran was incredulous and took a step forward to ask.
Mu Beiyi's grim eyes fell, forcing Liu Anran to retreat before he could take a step.
If Mu Beiyi, who was ill, was sent to Huangyuan Palace, according to Liu Anran's temperament, he would definitely summon the crescent moon under his command. The crescent moon was too dangerous to give her a chance. Pillow Chunyu continued: "Your Majesty is angry, the queen mother naturally did not deliberately punish and beat the concubines. She smiled lightly, straightened up, and said, "You see that the concubine is good, but there is no hindrance." I think it's because the queen mother takes care of the harem and takes care of the housework, and she is already busy. Today, I heard that His Majesty's dragon body was not safe, and he was even more worried, so he accidentally lost his temper. She looked at Liu Anran, with a smile in her eyes, slightly sly, "What about the queen, her temper is the best since she was a child." yes, Sister Liu. ”
Liu Anran's lips moved, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Yes." She exhaled slowly, "Congratulations to Concubine Ming." His Majesty was angry, and the concubines also made mistakes in their busyness, not deliberately. ”
"Yes, yes." Pillow Chun's chin was slightly raised, but her voice was soft and gentle, "Queen Fang Cai also talked to her concubine about asking Her Majesty to move." ”
Mu Beiyi coughed sharply again, frowning: "It should be moved, so that the wind and cold can be dyed for you." ”
"With the protection of the gods, the concubines are naturally not worried." Pillow Chun was spoiled by Mu Beiyi, pointed his jaw, and said thoughtfully: "It's just that the concubine thinks about it, and the queen also said that she made a mistake in her busyness, so she is naturally flawless." Your Majesty is better off moving to Qianxi Palace. As for those who serve, don't labor the queen's mother. It's better to invite younger sisters, such as concubines and concubines. The two of them are in line with His Majesty's wishes, they are young and energetic, and it is very appropriate to serve the sick together. ”
"But ......," Liu Anran said.
"But look at the cold spring, Your Majesty is standing here at the cusp." Pillow Chun took Mu Beiyi's hand and welcomed him into the dormitory, "The concubine is waiting for Your Majesty to change clothes." ”
Liu Anran chased after him for two steps, but when he saw that Mu Beiyi had never turned back, he suddenly felt like a cold body, and suddenly coughed sharply.
Mu Beiyi's illness is a little lingering. It usually gets better in the morning, but it gets cold at night and the fever returns. In the entire Lejing City, two or three out of ten have this disease. Come to think of it, this is what people often call the "spring epidemic".
The Son of Heaven contracted a disease, so he took a break from the early dynasty. As soon as the dynasty was rested, Liu Zhuguo, who came to the aid of the north, led the 5,000 Son of Heaven's army, but did not send troops. According to Liu Zhuguo, the Son of Heaven's pro-army needs the Son of Heaven to personally give the Tiger Talisman, and since the Son of Heaven is sick, he naturally can't overstep his bounds.
Pillow Chun was worried about the war in the north, thinking that Liu Zhuguo was not in a hurry to send troops to the north, perhaps because the two Anliu families were now in disarray. If you want reinforcements as soon as possible, you still have to make a way. Thinking...... In the end, I had to see Mu Yongyue, so that Mu Yongyue would knock on the side of the government, so that he could urge Liu Zhuguo to send troops.
If you want to see Mu Yongyue, the body of the palace concubine is indeed a little difficult.
But it's not impossible.
The next day, Zhu Chun stood outside the Qianxi Palace, personally took the food box from Su Bai's hand, and handed it to Feng Tang, who was guarding the door of Changxinxuan. She smiled and said softly: "Father-in-law Feng Tang is the hardest, and you are serving the most noble person in the world." These days are cold, and they are most likely to get sick. The people sent by the palace warmed a pot of dragon paste wine, accompanied by sauced duck wings, fennel beans and cured meat. Father-in-law Feng Tang went to the warm pavilion to eat some warm up, and the palace went in to accompany His Majesty. ”
Feng Tang took the food box, touched the back of his hand, felt hot, and smiled: "What did Concubine Ming say, you have a noble position, where do you work to bring food to us people?" ”
Pillow Chun's face was pale and gloomy, and he lowered his eyes and said tactfully: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, so naturally the palace is worried." If you say honor, it is also the dignity of the queen's mother's six palaces. The queen mother, no matter how big or small, she must bow in person, and everything is done well, and the palace is ashamed. ”
Feng Tang sighed, as if thinking about something: "Speaking of the complicated affairs of the six palaces, the queen mother is not able to take care of everything. Yesterday, I heard from the imperial doctor who came to visit His Majesty's pulse that many of the medicines in the imperial hospital are about to be exhausted, but they are filling the shortage. ”
Pillow Chun raised his eyebrows: "The Tai Hospital is a place for the royal family to supply medicine, how can there be a shortage of medicinal materials?" ”
"It is said to be ......," Feng Tang's voice lowered, "Now Lejing supplies medicine to Tai Hospital, it is the first-class medicine store in Lejing City, called Ji'anfang." Most of the medicinal materials in this Ji'an Fang were collected from the south, but now the situation in the south is not as stable as in previous years. In previous years, when the king was in the domain, the sixteen countries on the border of trade built many plank roads and trade routes, so it was very convenient to come and go for trade. Now that the steward's side by side king has changed the Liuzhu Kingdom, many families in the south have given up the medicinal herb business, so Ji'anfang sometimes does not collect so many medicinal materials. ”
Pillow Chun lowered his eyes and nodded, looking disapproving: "But when I think about it, I am just nervous in the early days of spring." When it warms up in a few days, the medicinal materials in the north and south will be active, and there will be no shortage of people in and out of the north. ”
"It's just a small thing." Feng Tang responded.
"Look at this broken mouth of this palace." Pillow Chun laughed, "Sending wine and food to Gonggong Feng, and delaying you for a long time." Feng Tang's father-in-law is invited to warm the pavilion, and Su Bai helps the palace to enter. ”
Feng Tang naturally should be. Su Bai helped the pillow spring to invite Changxinxuan, and as soon as he entered the dormitory from behind the screen, he saw Cherry holding his sleeves and pinching the handkerchief himself. Her wrists were as white as snow, wet and pressed into the hot and smoky water, like the tip of a magnolia with dew.
"Has Your Majesty recovered?" Pillow Spring asked out loud.
"Mother." Cherry raised her head and walked towards Pillow Spring, "I'm much better, I've gobten away from my high fever, but I'm just occasionally coughing and sleepy." ”
"Oh......" The disappointment in Pillow Chun's eyes was undisguised. Arrange cherry and concubine, the two charming and wonderful beauties, to come to serve the sick, pillow spring thinks that the fragrant figure is in front, and the heart is like a fire, and the illness will linger. Now it seems that Mu Beiyi is still a person who is not messing around, so how can it be better. Time is so urgent, it is better to hurry up.
A few words of cherries were attached, and the skirt was pulled inside.
Mu Beiyi was sitting in front of the couch looking at the excerpts. His face was still a little sickly pale, his hair was scattered, and he looked a little gloomy against a bed of gorgeous sheets intertwined with gold and red.
Pillow Chun rubbed his cheeks, put on a smile, and slowly opened the bead curtain while talking: "Your Majesty is so handsome even if he is sick, and the concubine only thinks about how many girls Chunxin will kill on weekdays." ”
Mu Beiyi looked up and saw that it was her, patted the edge of the bed, and motioned for her to go over and sit.
The concubine who was blowing medicine on the side raised her eyes and saw that it was Pillow Chun who came in, her eyes turned slightly, and she went out without speaking.
Pillow Chun went up as he said, lifted his skirt and sat next to Mu Beiyi, intentionally or unintentionally swept over the thick pile of folds on the side of the case, and sighed: "Your Majesty is really hard. ”
Mu Beiyi rubbed his forehead, and his voice was tired: "The spring is busy, and there is a war in the north. ”
Pillow Chun obediently leaned out his weak and boneless fingertips, gently pressed his temples for Mu Beiyi, and whispered: "Your Majesty is the most wise in the world, why can't you figure this out." If the concubine is you, you will simply leave everything empty and recuperate. After you are well raised, you will go to deal with political affairs. I don't have to worry about it now, I can't get better from my illness, and I can't handle political affairs properly. ”
Mu Beiyi moved his neck, sniffing the cold fragrance of flowers on Zhuchun body, and his closed eyes could only see the Ruyi Garuda on her shoulder. He suddenly felt relieved, leaned on the pillow, and said in a low voice: "The side can hold on for some time, but after the first month, the annual ceremony of the marquis in the Ministry of Rites is an important matter, and it cannot be faked by others." ”
Pillow Chun looked puzzled: "It's just a reward for the New Year, Your Majesty has drawn up a share of the Ministry of Gifts, and it's good to reward it." ”
"In previous years, every spring, I would personally summon the princes to the imperial study, and reward them according to their positions and routines." Mu Beiyi looked a little tired, and coughed twice, "This year, due to the beginning of the war in the north, the treasury is a little tight, and the rewards of the princes are slightly divided according to their merits. I should have told them personally, otherwise, the nonsense that the Ministry of Rites had decreed would be confusing. ”
"I see." Pillow Chun smiled, and the strength of his fingertips became softer and softer, "The king of a country is really as careful as dust." It's just that Your Majesty is now cold, and he has a high fever these days, and if the wind blows outside, it will not be good to linger again. If you summon the courtiers to the sickbed and reward them, it will be ...... Something is not beautiful. ”
"Yes." Mu Beiyi's forehead was elastic alternately, and he frowned slightly, "If my emperors grow up faster, they can do it for them." As he spoke, his expression was a little clear, and he looked at Pillow Chun's lower abdomen, "I am looking forward to meeting your child." ”
Pillow Chun pursed her lips, her eyes were as deep as an abyss, a smile floated lightly on her face, and she said softly: "Isn't it good that the queen mother will give rewards to the princes on behalf of Her Majesty?" ”
Mu Beiyi shook his head indifferently: "The queen is a person who is well-behaved, virtuous, and obedient. As for being the queen, I am very satisfied. But when a reward is given, you have to hit the nail on the head when you speak. The rewards of the princes are fixed every year, but this year the thickness varies. If the quota remained the same, the treasury would inevitably be tight, so it would be adjusted according to the size of the merit. Those who know know that this move is for the sake of saving money for the war in the north, if they don't know it clearly, they will think that it is deliberately beaten, and if they are suspicious, they will change. ”
Pillow Chun thought to himself, it's not because your usual methods are too ruthless and deliberately beat too much, so that everyone in the princes is in danger. Everyone has heard the story of the wolf. She thought so in her heart, but a smile bloomed on her face: "Your Majesty is really thoughtful. ”
"If you speak smartly, you will be flexible." Mu Beiyi hugged the pillow Chun's shoulder, "You are the best." ”
