207 Fireworks (three watches
Dongyun has been by the side of Queen Niu Hulu for more than ten years, and the queen has never been pregnant, and she doesn't know how to take care of pregnant women. Although Concubine Wen was pregnant for the second time, the first time it was turned upside down, at that time, the concubine didn't care about anything, she just wanted to get rid of the shackles of the family, and this time, she cared about the emperor and the child, and it made Xianfu Palace toss. Dong Yun was really exhausted, but he really felt that she was pitiful, and then he thought about the kindness of the old master, so he could only continue to serve by his side.
Similar to the resentment at this moment, Dong Yun was already numb when she heard it, presumably she appeased her master's words, Wen Guifei had already heard it numbly, but after waiting for a long time, Wen Guifei would protect her stomach and say: "If my sister is here, she will definitely help me invite the emperor more." ”
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the concubines greeted the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace in the early morning, and the Queen Mother sent Concubine Hui to Xianfu Palace to see Concubine Wen Guifei, and by the way, asked her if she went to the banquet at night. Concubine Hui came alone, and when she entered the door, she heard the little eunuch ask with a smile: "Concubine Hui Niangniang came to see the noble person of Juezen again?" The noble woman had a little cold yesterday, and she was afraid of infecting the concubine, so she said that she would not go out until she recovered. ”
Concubine Hui sneered in her heart, and her face was concerned: "Then you have to serve with all your heart." She also said that she came to greet the concubine, and she entered the door generously, and saw Wen Guifei sitting under the window in a daze, knowing that Wen Guifei had dementia, so she chose what she liked to hear and said, "The Queen Mother heard the emperor talk about it yesterday, and if the concubine Niangniang can be here at today's Lantern Festival banquet, it would be good if the concubine Niangniang was the smartest among the sisters, and it would be fun to have you there, so the Queen Mother sent the concubine to ask if the Niangniang was going tonight, if she went, she would leave you the best and most comfortable position." ”
Concubine Wen's eyes lit up, and she asked Concubine Hui stupidly: "What did the emperor say to you?" ”
Concubine Hui rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "It's not to say it to the concubine, it's to say it to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother mentioned it, let the concubine come and invite you, ask if you want to go, is the mother okay?" Look at you are always the imperial doctor, if you are unstable, don't go to a crowded place, and the concubine will reply for you. ”
"I'm fine, I'm going." Concubine Wen was overjoyed, and when she learned that Xuan Ye remembered that she wanted her to go to the banquet, she was so happy that she said with a smile, "My stomach hasn't shown up yet, and I can't move around because I'm too heavy to move around, so I really want to join in the fun tonight." ”
Concubine Hui agreed, and said some common words, telling her how to have a safe fetus and how to eat, just as she was talking happily, the baby's cry came, the cry was loud and piercing, and she didn't stop for a while, Wen Guifei's happy expression gradually dimmed, and she muttered to herself: "Annoyed to death, annoyed to death, why does he always cry......"
"The concubine goes and sees, the mother is at ease." Concubine Hui diligently appeased Concubine Wen, leaving the palace maid who accompanied her to go to the eighth brother's house alone. The nurse was startled when she saw someone coming in, thinking that Concubine Wen had come to reprimand her again, but when she saw that it was Concubine Hui, she trembled and saluted, saying that the eighth brother had just been wet, but he was still crying after changing diapers, and he was a child who was almost full years old, and it was more difficult to serve than when he was a child.
Concubine Hui smiled and said that it was okay, and picked up the little brother to coax: "What's wrong with the little girl?" Hui Niangniang is here, give Hui Niangniang a smile, Eighth Brother is so well-behaved......"
Coaxed like this, the eighth elder brother really didn't cry, and looked at Concubine Hui with a smile, for him, Concubine Hui should be a fresh face, it can be seen that not only is he not a stranger, but he is more like a fate, he is very dependent on his shoulder, Concubine Hui patted him gently, talked to him, and the little guy who was tired of crying was confused.
The nurse sighed: "It's really Concubine Hui's mother, the slave maid has served the eighth elder brother for so long, and it is still illegal." ”
At this moment, the other palace maids on the side packed up the changed diapers and water basins and other things and went out, Concubine Hui saw that only the nurse was in front of her, remembering the fear when she suddenly saw herself just now, and the resentment on her face that had been gathered between her eyebrows, she turned a few times in her heart, and then said tentatively: "The concubine is pregnant, I can't listen to the noise, if I blame you for crying for the eighth elder brother, don't forget your heart." ”
The nurse turned her face away and lowered her eyes and said: "Where is it that I am pregnant now, I have always annoyed the eighth brother crying, I like it when I like it, and I hate it when I don't like it." ”
Concubine Hui said deliberately: "If you have the noble Zen here, she will help you." ”
The nurse smiled even more bitterly, looked at Concubine Hui helplessly and said: "Niang Niang loves little brother, so she naturally thinks so, but people ...... it."
In the end, she didn't say this, and the nurse also had scruples, but Concubine Hui had already pinched her mind, so she pretended to say softly inadvertently: "Eighth Elder Brother seems to like me a lot, I also like children, it would be good if Eighth Elder Brother could be raised in Changchun Palace." ”
Who knew that the nurse was so energetic, she stared at Concubine Hui seriously and asked: "Niangniang's words are serious, anyway, the concubine Niangniang and the noble people of Juezen don't like the eighth elder brother, why don't Niangniang ask the emperor to give a decree to hug her?" ”
It can be seen that the nurse is fed up, look at her haggard face and thin body, Concubine Hui remembers that Yinyu's nurse is a very plump and full woman, thinking that it is difficult for her to have good milk like this, eating and drinking is not delicious, and she will suffer from sin, so she turned her heart sideways and said softly: "How difficult is the request, the matter that has been set was suddenly taken away by me, and I am afraid that other people will say irresponsible things, right?" ”
The nurse said sadly: "If this is the case, there is really no one who cares about the eighth elder brother anymore." ”
Concubine Hui smiled: "You have a nurse, you are in pain." ”
The nurse took the sleeping child from Concubine Hui's arms and put it into the small bed, folded the quilt, and whispered: "The slave is just a slave, what's the use of hurting my brother." He turned around and begged Concubine Hui, "Niangniang, should you be pitiful and poor Eighth Elder Brother?" ”
Concubine Hui knows that what is the poor eighth elder brother, it is the poor nurse herself, since they hit it off with each other, she no longer cares about it, she took her hand and said softly: "I can't ask for the eighth elder brother by others, I have to let Wen Guifei Niangniang push it out by herself, if you are willing to suffer some hardships, when Wen Guifei abandons the eighth elder brother, the palace will naturally pick you up outside to go to Changchun Palace." ”
The nurse didn't want to think about it, and nodded again and again, and said with a little hatred: "Are slaves and maids still afraid of hardship?" What does the mother want to do with the slave? ”
Concubine Hui smiled proudly and said ruthlessly: "Let the eighth elder brother cry, become an angel and cry vigorously, if Concubine Wen scolds you and punishes you, you will suffer a little, you are a nursing mother to feed the elder brother, she can't treat you well, just take care of it more." But no matter how she loses her temper, you still have to let the eighth elder brother cry when she sees the world, until she can't stand it. ”
The nurse is not stupid, she may have seen through Concubine Hui's thoughts, so she would ask for a good place for her to be relieved, and sooner or later she will be tossed to death by Concubine Wen here. At this time, I heard that she wanted her to make the eighth elder brother cry every day, and she understood that it was necessary to completely disgust Concubine Wen, so she solemnly agreed: "The slave can do it, and please also ask the mother to say a few words for the slave and maid when the time comes, and take the eighth elder brother to Changchun Palace." ”
This is natural, Concubine Hui and other children, from Juechan's pregnancy to now, have not given up for nearly two years, can you wait for ten days and half a month, just Concubine Wen is now obsessed with the emperor's strength, and the eighth elder brother crying for a few days is enough to drive her crazy.
After saying this, and coaxing the eighth elder brother to sleep peacefully, Concubine Hui adjusted her mind and came to see Concubine Wen again, she really stabilized her mood, and then helped choose the clothes to wear at night, and then went back to Ningshou Palace to recover her life with satisfaction.
It was the night Lantern Festival banquet, Xuan Ye gave the banquet to the ministers, the harem concubines were headed by the imperial concubine, and the queen mother and the queen mother went to the banquet together, so that the queen mother was happy, she saw Lan Qi appear at the banquet in auspicious clothes, and was surrounded by Concubine Rong and Duan concubines to ask her for peace, the queen mother pulled beside her distressedly and said: "What kind of etiquette, look, the good man is also fat, Amitabha, it is really blessed by the ancestors." I haven't seen you for a long time, I really want to come to Yonghe Palace to see you in person, but I'm afraid that others will gossip. These days when you are not here, I don't eat well. ”
Concubine Rong smiled beside her: "The emperor knows that you want to Sister Concubine De, let the concubine and Sister Duan serve her, now that she is in front of her, the Queen Mother wants to have an extra drink tonight." ”
The Empress Dowager was naturally happy, the old man was happy, the ladies were happy, the emperor sat left and right with the imperial concubine and Wen Guifei, and talked to the two from time to time.
After appreciating the lantern and guessing the riddle, the monarch and the ministers celebrated their happiness, Xuan Ye rose, invited the ministers to write poems in the Bailiang style, the ministers respectfully invited the emperor to write poems, the imperial concubine calmly got up and poured wine for the emperor, he drank it and then there was a sentence: "The sun and the wind are all directions,"
The university scholar in the seat got up and continued: "The clouds are full of purple clouds. "There will be a pearl to continue," a happy song Mingliang," Lord Li Fei said, "stop the people and negotiate the prosperity of the people." "Xuan Ye hit the festival and praised it.
University scholar Feng Pu chanted again: "Xiao Yan is known as the Holy Grace," and then "Tianxin Zhaoge is raining." Fengheng has a thousand boxes of blessings, and the liturgical article worships the Virgin. Miao Mo instructed the eight wildernesses, and returned to Dan in the spring to strike the truss Yang. He Qinghai feasted on Yu's achievements...... "I only listen to the rushing of literature, singing the praises of the Holy Lord Mingjun, and it does not stop for a while."
The ladies sat together, inevitably bored, and the Empress Dowager laughed: "What are you reading here? The concubine on the side said, "Is this a poem or a pair, why are the adults taking care of themselves?" ”
Lan Qi listened to it very interestingly, and occasionally heard Duan Concubine say that she didn't know, and she showed her talent for a while, and said casually: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used to give a banquet to Bailiangtai, and invited the ministers to write poems. My sister looked at the ministers taking care of their own sentences, but in fact, each sentence of seven words rhymes flatly, and the whole text does not change the rhyme, which is where it is interesting and talented. ”
The concubines didn't understand much, and Concubine Hui smiled: "In the early years, when I went to Zhongcui Palace, my sister always read and wrote in the house, and I asked you to take the top exam, but you still refused." Then he smiled with the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, look, is our Concubine De Niangniang a champion?" ”
The Queen Mother said on the side: "Don't make fun of it, look at Concubine De's face is red." ”
Lan Qi has been bored at home for a long time, and she is rarely excited to get together, so she said it without knowing what to do, and the jokes of others did not make her blush, but when she saw the emperor hearing this, she looked at him happily with a smile, and the tenderness that made her blush, and she was proud that her book was not in vain, thinking that Xuan Ye must also be happy, and she couldn't stop rejoicing in her heart.
After the poem, someone outside came to ask the empress dowager, the empress dowager and the emperor to enjoy the fireworks, this is the joy of the ladies and children, they have gathered around the empress dowager, the empress dowager and the empress dowager went out of the palace with the emperor, the sky outside the palace was cold and windy, the empress dowager said: "Concubine Wen and Concubine De are pregnant, don't come to the front, come to me." ”
Concubine Wen Guifei originally wanted to follow the emperor, but when she heard the Empress Dowager say this, she didn't dare to disobey and came over reluctantly, while Concubine De was on the other side, and then the Empress Dowager led the eldest brother and the crown prince, the concubines, elder brothers, and princesses gathered on this side, and on the other side was the emperor with his ministers.
Xuan Ye lit the fire and handed it to the little eunuch, and passed it down one by one, the first fireworks were lit, and there was a whoosh sound, but when he saw the sparks running into the night sky, they immediately scattered, and the female ministers clapped their hands and applauded, and the fireworks and firecrackers roared, cheering and laughing continuously, and seeing the smoke steaming, it was very festive.
There is a minister here who is complimenting Xuan Ye on the prosperity of the prosperous world, and suddenly heard a scream and exclaimed, Xuan Ye followed the prestige, but saw a stream of fireworks deflected in the direction, and went straight to the side of the female dependent, some distance away from the person who couldn't see clearly, and when Xuan Ye ran over, he had heard the chaotic people shouting: "Quickly support the Queen Mother, quickly support the Queen Mother......"
But when the emperor approached, he saw that a large piece had fallen here, and the Empress Dowager was quickly helped up, but the lanterns gathered, and he was surprised to see that Concubine Wen and Concubine De both fell to the ground, and Huan Chun Dongyun and several people each protected their masters, Lan Qi frowned and stroked her stomach with her hands, while on the other side, Concubine Wen had already cried out loud...... Stomach aches, the emperor ......"
Everyone knows that Concubine De is really weak for several months, and Concubine Wen has always been thundering and not raining, but at this moment, no one dares to slack off, carrying people away, the Empress Dowager told the emperor not to break up the banquet at will to make people panic, and she also did not fall because of how much she wore in winter, and asked to return to the banquet again, and the Queen Mother and other concubines who had nothing to do also returned to the banquet, but although the banquet continued, the atmosphere was awkward in the end, and it ended earlier than the scheduled hour.
As soon as the banquet dispersed, Xuan Ye sent the imperial grandmother back to Cining Palace, and on the other hand, people kept coming to report the situation of the two mothers, Yonghe Palace kept saying that it was okay, but Xuan Ye was not at ease, but Xianfu Palace came with news that Wen Guifei was not very good, and the emperor was fed up with the wolf, so he said angrily: "How can she be okay?" It's always been fine, isn't Concubine De okay now? ”
The Empress Dowager advised him: "Today, the ministers have all seen the face of the Niu Hulu family, and the emperor still has to give it enough." ”
Xuan Ye had no choice but to come to Xianfu Palace, and Gonggong Li was once again sent to Yonghe Palace to inquire about Concubine De's condition, but when the saint arrived at Xianfu Palace, Xuan Ye entered the door, and suddenly heard a terrible cry, which shocked his heart, but seeing that there was a mess inside, Gonggong Liang, who was with him, immediately ran in to ask about the situation, and soon ran out with a pale face, and cried on the ground: "Long live Lord, Concubine Wen Guifei's child is gone, Long Live Lord, you can't go in again." ”
