Chapter 12: True and False Princess Twelve
It's a bit strange to say that there are no black moles or birthmarks on the two children, which makes the two queen mothers a little disappointed. Qin Tai told the Queen Mother that in addition to black moles or birthmarks, there are some phenomena that can be inherited. For example, the child's face shape, eyebrows, eyes, whether there are dimples, etc., are the key to whether the child is the bloodline. For example, both parents have pointed chins, and it is impossible to give birth to a child with a Chinese face. If the child is square-faced, the child is either adopted or not born by the original parents. If both parents have Danfeng eyes, the child cannot have double eyelids, otherwise the child will have a problem. The same goes for dimples, if the parents have dimples on their faces, the children will also have dimples nine times out of ten, and if there is only one side, the child will follow the parents on only one side. Children's bones and long hands and feet are also related to their parents, for example, the bones of the children of military generals are thicker than ordinary children, and the hands of children of scholars are thinner than ordinary children, etc. Only then did the Queen Mother know that there was so much knowledge here, and only then did she know why Qin Tai was professional, it turned out that Qin Tai and his wife put all their energy into research, how could they have the heart to intrigue with others.
Qin Tai made a request to the two queen mothers, hoping that the queen mother would agree to Zhan Xiaoxiao's portrait of the biological mother of the two children. Whether it was the princess's mother or the emperor's eldest son's biological mother, Concubine Gong, they were all the little emperor's women, and it was impossible for Qin Tai to look at them directly. There is only one way, let Zhan Xiaoxiao, who knows how to paint, draw portraits of the mother of two children. The reason why Zhan Xiaoxiao wants to draw is because Zhan Xiaoxiao knows how to draw, and he doesn't need to look like it, but he needs to be like, especially in some details. The portraits painted by the painters in the palace have always been more subtle, only seeking to resemble the gods rather than the form, which will greatly affect Qin Tai's deviation from the comparison between mother and son. Although Zhanxiao's paintings are not as good as those of painters, he has painted corpses for so many years, and Qin Tai is assured of accuracy and carefulness. Empress Dowager Li immediately agreed, and asked a palace maid to go to Queen Wang with Zhan Xiaoxiao and tools to paint a portrait of the princess's mother. As for Concubine Gong, it's simple, and when Zhan Xiaoxiao comes back, just notify Concubine Gong to come to Cining Palace. Concubine Gong can't wait for Empress Dowager Li to summon her these days, and once she hears that Empress Dowager Li will summon her, she will come over immediately. Qin Tai knew that his wife had shown her little ability, and it was estimated that it would not be long before she would come back. Empress Dowager Li found a reason for Zhan Xiaoxiao, saying that the little emperor liked the princess and wanted to give the princess's biological mother a name, so she asked Zhan Xiaoxiao, the palace maid, to paint a portrait of the princess's biological mother, and the purpose of the portrait was to prepare for the future canonization. The wives of some big people can't show their heads, so whether it's setting makeup or making clothing colors, you need to realize the main and backup portraits. Based on the drawing, the person who made the costume and jewelry selected the type of clothing and jewelry, and finally the nobleman himself selected the type of jewelry. When the queen was the queen, the wedding clothes were decided after three finalizations and then revisions, but the queen only tried on new clothes twice, and the tailor made them according to the portrait most of the time. This reason will be believed by the queen and the princess's mother.
It's just a stick of incense time, Zhan Xiaoxiao came back, and Qin Tai was also surprised by Zhan Xiaoxiao's speed. When Empress Dowager Li saw that Zhan Xiaoxiao was back, she immediately called a little palace maid to go to Concubine Gong and call Concubine Gong over. Because she wanted to keep it secret, Empress Dowager Li found a reason to let Zhan Xiaoxiao meet Concubine Gong in the side hall, and at the same time draw a sketch for Concubine Gong. Just when Zhan Xiaoxiao went to paint a portrait of Queen Wang, Qin Tai told Empress Dowager Li a secret, Zhan Xiaoxiao not only can sketch quickly but also has a very good memory. As long as Zhan Xiaoxiao is allowed to observe a person carefully and closely for a period of time, Zhan Xiaoxiao can draw a sketch of this person. Sketching is not as careful as portraits, but simplicity has the advantage of being simple, and it can go unnoticed and not attract the attention of others. Empress Dowager Li agreed to this idea, and asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to secretly reveal the daily life of the emperor's eldest son as a reason to observe Concubine Gong up close, and draw a sketch for Concubine Gong to replace Concubine Gong's portrait. After Zhan Xiaoxiao knew about this plan, after carefully asking the eldest son of the emperor about some details, he was sure to attract Concubine Gong's attention, observe Concubine Gong up close without Concubine Gong's suspicion, and then draw a sketch portrait of Concubine Gong as soon as possible.
In order to allow Zhan Xiaoxiao to successfully complete the task, Empress Dowager Li specially allowed the nurse to hold the eldest son of the emperor and give Concubine Gong a look from afar, but Concubine Gong was not allowed to approach or touch the eldest son of the emperor. Zhan Xiaoxiao needs to use this opportunity to complete the task as soon as possible, otherwise she has to tell Concubine Gong that she is going to paint a portrait. Empress Dowager Li believed that Concubine Gong would not dare to object, and Concubine Gong was not qualified to oppose this. However, if you do this, Queen Wang will get the news immediately, and you can guess that it is not easy for Zhan Xiaoxiao to paint a portrait of the princess's mother. In order to confuse and paralyze the queen and queen, Zhan Xiaoxiao tried his best to complete the sketch of Concubine Gong in this way. Although Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't dare to guarantee this, he also said that he would do his best.
But when Concubine Gong appeared, everything was much easier, and the reason was that Concubine Gong was very cooperative. Concubine Gong is almost crazy about her children these days, and later I heard that Concubine Gong is almost crazy these days. When I was awake during the day, I cried when I thought of my son, and at night I dreamed of my son chattering in a daze, and the whole person was almost immersed in a closed state. It is often seen that Concubine Gong herself will talk to herself alone, and even hold a package when her son walks around her room. Now when she arrives at Cining Palace, although she can't see Empress Dowager Li, she unexpectedly sees her son from a distance, and Concubine Gong is almost immediately sure that the child in the nurse's hand is her son. Concubine Gong rushed forward a few steps, as if she also splashed up to snatch the child's posture, but immediately stopped her steps. As a mother, Zhan Xiaoxiao empathized with Concubine Gong's behavior, and Zhan Xiaoxiao also sighed a little for Concubine Gong. Concubine Gong thought that her son was crazy, but she didn't dare to get close to her own flesh and blood. The first is because Empress Dowager Li once strictly ordered that Concubine Gong should not approach the emperor's eldest son. The second is because the little emperor also warned Concubine Gong that if Concubine Gong did something out of the ordinary, he would deal with it with their son. Concubine Gong has to think about this son even if she doesn't think about herself. She couldn't give the little emperor a chance to abolish herself and the emperor's eldest son. The third is because Concubine Gong is worried that her crazy actions will frighten her precious son. After all, she has never taken a child by herself, not only is she inexperienced but also does not know the characteristics of the child. In fact, Concubine Gong can't scare the child, the child can't fully recognize people, and she won't be frightened by the outside world, even if she wakes up and cries a few times, it's fine. However, Concubine Gong will still be reluctant if she knows, and the child's cry will hurt more than a knife cutting her own flesh.
When Zhan Xiaoxiao saw Concubine Gong like this, she knew that the opportunity had come. Zhan Xiaoxiao walked over and pulled Concubine Gong to a fat empty room in the main hall of Cining Palace, and carefully observed Concubine Gong's appearance, words and deeds while comforting Concubine Gong. But Concubine Gong always looked back, hoping to see her child again. Zhan Xiaoxiao used the temporary status given by Empress Dowager Li to promise Concubine Gong that she would let Concubine Gong look at the eldest son of the emperor again, but she was not allowed to disturb the sleep of the eldest son. This guarantee immediately made Concubine Gong very obedient, and she sat on the side and almost answered all questions to Zhan Xiaoxiao. Of course, Zhan Xiaoxiao will also reveal some details of the life of the emperor's eldest son to Concubine Gong. Concubine Gong listened very carefully, and even the eldest son of the emperor asked very clearly how many meals he ate, how many times he pooped, and how many clothes he wore every day. He kept comparing the length of the emperor's eldest son, which was about how heavy. Fortunately, Zhan Xiaoxiao has raised three children, and he immediately answered, it may not be so easy to change someone else.
Zhan Xiaoxiao not only observed Concubine Gong's appearance, words and deeds up close, but also took the opportunity to hold Concubine Gong's hand, and secretly took Concubine Gong's pulse. Zhan Xiaoxiao followed her husband Qin Tai to learn to solve the case, and even more learned the structure of the human body and the pulse. Today's Zhan Xiaoxiao's ability to determine the condition is no worse than the so-called famous doctor in the capital, and there is only one who is not as good as the famous doctor, and her prescription is not hot enough. But Zhan Xiaoxiao is a woman, and it is easy to reach the majority of women in this capacity, which many male doctors can't do. Zhanxiao's pulse technique can be regarded as the best among all female doctors, and the patient's pulse is accurate when Zhanxiaoxiao.
