968 Tranquil old age (and updates.)
Yonghe Palace lost the Queen Mother, everyone knelt in the snow and waited for the emperor to fall, the fourteenth master rushed back with his mother, followed by a large group of imperial doctors, when the emperor came, holding a pair of shoes and socks in his hand.
"Get up, all of you. In the future, you have to take care of the Queen Mother more carefully, if I punish you, the Queen Mother will definitely feel guilty, forget it this time. Yin Zhen raised his head and looked up and down Yonghe Palace, but he also said ruthlessly, "Don't take it as an example, there is no place where the Queen Mother can't go, but you have to follow you, and you can't let the Queen Mother leave alone." ”
The queen came out of the door and said with tears in her eyes: "The emperor has woken up, the emperor has come and come and look." ”
Yin Zhen hurriedly followed, carefully put her mother's shoes and socks aside, the palace maid was kneeling at the end of the kang and covering the queen mother's feet with the stove, the queen mother's cheeks were red, it was frozen and then warmed up, she smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Yinzhen stood aside and made a muffled sound, Yinzhen went to the side of the couch and said: "Where does the emperor want to go in the future, tell her sons, your son will accompany you, you can go wherever you want, just ask you not to be alone." Sons can't find you......" Speaking of sadness, Yinzhen was speechless.
Lan Qi squinted and smiled, coughing a few times in disgust: "How old are you, and you still want to find your mother?" When you say it, it's a joke. Yes, I promise you, I will never go out alone again, just now I just wanted to breathe, who knows that walking and walking will go far, the palace is really quiet, and there is no one to see on the quiet road. ”
Yinyu had tears in his eyes, and the emperor had already cried in front of the Taihe Palace, it was when he heard someone shouting the name of the first emperor in front of the Taihe Palace, and realized that the Queen Mother might be there, when the brothers rushed over, the mother was already frozen and almost unconscious, and they all understood in their hearts that Eniang was bent on chasing Huang Ama, but they were reluctant and couldn't bear it.
"That year, I walked in the wind and snow, and the snow particles were swept in the wind and blew on my face, like knives. I was pressed into the corner by the eunuchs as assassins, and the emperor walked by in a sedan chair, and he just opened the curtain to breathe, but he saw me at a glance. Lan Qi's gaze looked out from the open window, and the glass window was covered with a layer of fog and she couldn't see anything clearly, but she seemed to be able to see far, far away, talking about the past stupidly, and talking to her sons just now, this time, she was completely immersed in her own world.
Yinyu and Yinzhen saw their mother close her eyes heavily, as if she was very tired and wanted to sleep, so they withdrew together, Yinyu wiped her eyes and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, is Eniang demented?" Talking to her these days, she always talked to herself later. ”
Yin Zhen shook his head silently, looked inside a few more times, and then said softly: "Eniang misses Huang Ama too much." ”
Two days later, after Chinese New Year's Eve, on New Year's Day, the emperor came to the world and changed the year name "Yongzheng", opening a new chapter. The Empress Dowager Renshou was unable to accept the worship of the clan due to typhoid fever, and gossip spread for a while. Obviously, everything is peaceful in the palace, and there has been no conflict between the emperor and the fourteenth elder brother, but there are always rumors spread outside, saying that their brothers are against each other, that their mother and son are against each other, the emperor doesn't care about the world, and the queen mother will not care after listening to a lifetime of gossip.
The Lantern Festival is the day of the first emperor and the queen mother's love, in the early years of the palace was so transmitted, now they are separated by yin and yang, mentioning it will only increase the sadness, coupled with the heavy filial piety, under the intervention of the queen, this year's Lantern Festival, simply coped with the past. On the contrary, the Queen Mother brought it up that day and asked Rongfang and Lingge to come over and talk for a while.
Rong Fang was five or six months pregnant, her belly was bulging there, her clothes were thick, and she was sitting round on the side, Lan Qi rubbed her hands and said distressedly: "How big is this, your hands are so swollen?" ”
"Eniang, I'm fine, don't worry." Rong Fang agreed, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was about to cry, and in the past few days, she heard the palace people say that the queen mother has a deep love for the first emperor, and she is always sad and crying, and she almost dragged her body down. Lan Qi knew that this child was temperamental, and she pitied her more than before.
In contrast, Lingge is much calmer, silently following the queen to do things, she is very smart and capable, and she can cope with the affairs of the six palaces unconsciously, and share a lot of sorrow for Yuxi, Lan Qi is glad that Hongli has such a biological mother, and Yuxi has no son under her knees, even if it is for Hongli, her relationship with the queen can't collapse. It would be better if the son's wife and concubine could be in such a long and long harmony.
Because of this, Lan Qi feels that she has nothing to worry about in this world.
Under Xiao Chen'er's arrangement, Wen Xian followed her into the palace to visit her mother, Xiao Chen'er didn't understand why she couldn't disclose that her sister was still alive, but Wen Xian said that she was used to the peaceful days now, and she didn't want to "return" to the royal family again, not to mention that rumors were spreading outside, and if she turned out her affairs again, she would have to say that the new monarch's succession was not bright enough. Xiao Chen'er asked, "Even the fourth brother has to continue to hide it?" ”
Wen Xian said as if he saw through it: "Huang Ama can know the affairs of the world when he sits in the Qianqing Palace, and our fourth brother will have such a day, he will find out that I am still alive sooner or later, and it will not be too late to explain when the time comes." ”
When the sisters spoke, Lan Qi looked at them with a quiet smile, this pair is Xuan Ye and her sweetheart, the only woman in this world who will not be jealous and is willing to be pampered and cared for by Xuan Ye wholeheartedly.
But the queen mother's body is getting worse, that time barefoot in front of the Taihe Hall stepping on the snow, after the cold invasion, no matter how much decoction is poured can not dispel the cold, although the high fever has eased a few days later, since then the cough and asthma have continued, the medicine has not stopped, and the weak body coughs to see people panic.
In order to prevent the Queen Mother from being tortured by illness, the emperor didn't know how many times he was angry with the hospital, but fortunately, when the spring flowers bloomed, he finally stopped coughing so badly. But the Queen Mother was so sick that she changed her appearance, becoming more and more slender and weak, and when she was wrapped in a blanket and basking in the sun, she could hardly see anyone at a glance.
The days in Yonghe Palace are peaceful and calm, there is no longer the disturbance of the six palaces, and there is no more trivial matters for her to deal with.
After all, the Fujin of the thirteen or fourteen families live outside the palace and cannot come in every day, and the queen mother wants to be quiet, basically do not summon them, and occasionally miss them to see them, only Yuxi will come every day.
Lan Qi often said: "If I'm like this, I can't help you with anything, and I will drag you down to take care of you every day." ”
Yuxi always smiled and didn't say anything, she knew that no matter how much she said, she understood Eniang's thoughts, if Yinzhen was gone, she didn't want to live alone. But the living people still have something to remember, and they are reluctant to follow Eniang to die after all.
Yuxi occasionally tells her mother-in-law about the affairs of the palace, she has just taken over such a big family, there is always something I don't understand, Lan Qi occasionally said a few words, but today I listened to it, but said: "In the past, there was Queen Xiaoyi, and later there was also a concubine, although I have been busy with the affairs of the sixth palace for decades, but I have never been the one who really calls the shots." Yuxi, you are the queen of the Middle Palace, the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty, the affairs of the Six Palaces, the affairs of the royal family, you can't bow down to everything, then you will be tired to death, but you may not do well if you are tired. ”
Yuxi listened carefully, as if she wanted to engrave every word in her heart.
Lan Qi said: "Those who work hard govern people, I have been a laborer for so many years, you are in charge, you can't rush to the front to do things." It's as if the emperor has a minister to take care of the entire country for him, does the emperor let the emperor do everything alone? In the future, it doesn't matter if you use Linggege or someone else, remember, you just need to be in charge of the Kunning Palace. ”
"Erchen remembered." Yuxi was grateful, and persuaded, "Eniang, if you feel sorry for Yuxi, take care of your body, and teach me more, okay?" ”
Lan Qi smiled and patted her hand and said: "You are already very capable, if the Empress Dowager is here, she will definitely say that you are a hundred times stronger than Eniang, Eniang was not as capable as you in the past, whatever you did when you were young, the emperor had to clean up the mess behind her back, but he was willing to give me the aftermath, always happily scolded me for being useless, turned his head and took care of everything for me." ”
Yuxi is used to it, the Queen Mother has always been like this recently, talking well, she suddenly said to herself, the emperor in her mouth, ten times the first emperor. Some people say that the Queen Mother is demented, but she is clearly the most sober, she is not looking for death to chase the first emperor, she is just waiting for life to disappear naturally.
And at this moment, not long after the Queen Mother went out, she turned back to her eyes and asked the queen: "Why hasn't your canonization ceremony been held yet?" ”
Yuxi explained that after the anniversary of Emperor Daxing, there will be a canonization ceremony, including her, and the people in the harem will not have a name until then, and they are not in a hurry, their husbands have become emperors, what else is there to worry about.
Lan Qi listened to them one by one, but touched the clothes on Yuxi's body lovingly and said: "E-niang wants to see you wearing a phoenix robe, how dazzling the bright phoenix robe should be, and the demeanor of the mother of a country is the world, and only you can hold it up." ”
Yuxi hurriedly said: "The phoenix robe has been prepared, if Eniang wants to see it, Erchen will wear it." ”
Lan Qi smiled: "Then it's better to wait for a good day, don't let people say that our queen mother is not dignified." She thought for a moment and commanded, "What about Song Gege?" Brought into the palace too? ”
Yuxi nodded yes, and Lan Qi asked, "Will you give her a name?" The daughter-in-law replied, "It's going to be given, but I want to ask E-Niang what she thinks about this matter." ”
"The emperor also misses the old love, so he has served him for a few years, and he is the youngest again." Lan Qi understands that for Xuan Ye, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are the people who were by her side at the beginning, even if they have no affection, they are also the thoughts of the old days. He ordered, "Give her a name, keep her under house arrest as usual, and not be allowed to walk in the palace for the rest of her life." ”
