Chapter 52: Lifting the Ban
Chu Ning saw that he was recognized and walked out with a smile, although he was an imperial uncle, he was only one year older than Chu Sheng, and he still had some childish nature, and his childlike heart was still alive.
He saw that Yu'er and Su'er were looking at him for a moment, and cleared his throat with some embarrassment. Seeing this, the two of them bent their knees and asked for peace: "See King Jiuye, the prince is blessed with Jin'an!" ”
Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite!" ”
"What is the prince doing?" Yu'er thought that his dignified uncle was secretly hiding behind a tree to listen to them, and the scene was really funny, and she wanted to tease him.
Chu Ning was stunned, she didn't expect this little girl to be ugly, she just happened to bump into them talking, and she stood still because she was curious. It turned out to be a corner of the eavesdropping wall in her mouth, but she couldn't think of how to answer for a while, and after a long time, the waiter around him helped him out of the siege, and said to Qian'er: "Back to Niangniang, the prince is tired of watching the landscape, so he leans on this willow tree to rest for a while!" ”
Chu Ning nodded hurriedly and said with a determined face: "What he said is right, it is true!" ”
Yu'er laughed out loud when she saw this, and even Su'er on the side covered the smile at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. Chu Ning was embarrassed, cleared his throat again and said, "This king is really good when he looks at the body of the noble concubine, and now he can tell jokes!" Yu'er was not annoyed when she saw him making fun of herself, thinking that the face that was somewhat similar to Chu Sheng in her eyes before she fainted that day must be the person in front of her, in just a few months, he actually saved his life twice, thinking of this, he put away his playful face, knelt down respectfully and bowed, and said: "Concubine thank the prince for saving his life!" ”
Chu Ning saw that she was still playful and so respectful all of a sudden, she didn't know what to say, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and said lightly: "But with a gesture, you don't have to take it to heart, get up!" ”
Yu'er still looked grateful after getting up, and the two of them smiled faintly at each other. It's so good, they all say that they don't thank you for their great kindness, and silence is better than sound at this time!
Back in the palace, Yu'er remembered that Xia Lin's face was worried that she couldn't think about it, so she went directly to her room, who knew that as soon as she entered her bedroom, she saw her lying on the bed, her brows were furrowed, her hands were clutching the brocade quilt at her side, and there were big drops of sweat oozing from her forehead. The little palace maid in front of her called nervously: "Little master, let's hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor!" Seeing this, Yu'er knew that she must have had a fetal gas because of something just now, but she was afraid that she was about to give birth. Hurriedly stepped forward and instructed the palace maid: "Hurry up and go to the Tai Hospital to report, just say that the maid is about to give birth, let the Wen Po who was prepared before come over quickly!" The little palace maid got the order, turned around and ran out. Yu'er hurriedly shouted to the outside world again: "Go and report to the emperor and queen, the royal daughter is about to give birth!" ”
"Sister~" The person on the bed called softly, and his stomach began to ache faintly after returning to the palace just now, but he didn't expect to give birth, and at this moment he was surprised and happy.
Yu'er hurriedly sat down in front of her, held her hand tightly and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, after a while, Wen Po will come, you can do it carefully according to their instructions, you can rest assured that I will always be by your side and will not let people secretly do anything else, you just need to give birth with peace of mind and don't think too much!" ”
Charlene only felt that the pain in her abdomen was a little unbearable, her face turned a little paler, but she nodded gratefully, and her anxiety and panic in her heart also decreased a little. By the time the Imperial Doctor and Wen Po arrived, Xia Lin couldn't help but shout......
Outside, the emperor and queen sat on the top, and Concubine Shu and Su'er stood aside. The queen has rarely left the palace since she was reprimanded by Chu Sheng, but she is here today! I saw that she spoke lightly to the imperial doctor who was responsible for giving the sumire maid a baby, and asked, "How is the sumire maid?" Is the child okay? The imperial doctor hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "Hui Niangniang, the royal daughter of Sumire was about to give birth, and the fetal gas has been stable, but today I don't know why the fetal gas was moved, which caused the dragon fetus to be born prematurely, but I am afraid that this birth will be more difficult." ”
When the emperor heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he asked, "Why did you have fetal gas?" ”
The next Su'er and the queen glanced at each other, curtled their knees and replied: "Back to the emperor, my sister and I went to the imperial garden to relax, but I happened to meet Shu Guifei, and the concubine Niangniang was concerned and blamed her sister for a while, but I didn't expect my sister to listen to it in her heart, and after returning to the palace, she was frightened and then moved the fetus. After speaking, she met Concubine Shu's fierce eyes, and lowered her head timidly.
Chu Sheng's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he asked Concubine Shu, "Good and dignified, what do you blame her for?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't blame her sister, but she said a few words when she saw her running around with a big belly and was worried for a while, but she didn't expect her to have a fetal gas, it was the concubine's fault, and I hope the emperor will atone for her sins." Concubine Shu said that she was about to kneel.
Chu Sheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's it, I just hope that the royal daughter can give birth to the imperial heir safely, you sit down and wait first!" ”
Concubine Shu hurriedly curtfell and replied, "Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
Charlene is young in the end, and although she was frightened and slightly moved in the period of childbirth, she is a person who is used to doing errands. Yu'er has been staring carefully, for fear that someone has ulterior motives, and now the child is only feeling like he has given birth to another one! But seeing the doll in Wenpo's arms, which is still slightly wrinkled, I feel that it is all worth it!
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the mother! Sumire gave birth to a prince safely! Wen Po knelt down happily and said to the emperor with the child in her arms. Chu Sheng hurriedly took the child over and held him in his arms, with a doting smile on his face. He looked at it for a while, looked up and saw Yu'er coming out of it, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, is Sumire the royal girl okay?" ”
"The emperor laughed, what is the hard work of the concubine, but it took a lot of effort for Sister Charlene to give birth to the child, and the emperor will treat her well!" Yu'er held Jinxin's hand and said reluctantly.
"Yes! Be! Be! I'm going to go in and see her. Chu Sheng agreed again and again to lift the curtain and enter the inner room. The queen stood up, her eyes swept slowly over everyone's faces, and she followed into the inner room.
After the emperor left, Concubine Shugui smiled lightly and helped her head full of pearls, and said: "This palace didn't know that Li Jieyu had a clever mouth, but this palace looked down on you!" ”
Su Erzhen pretended not to know and asked: "Why did Niang Niang say this, but what did my sister do wrong?" ”
"Where will it be, my sister is doing excellent things!" As he spoke, he also took the handmaid's hand and walked in.
Yu'er glanced at Su'er in confusion, and when Su'er saw that her face was not good, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down, and said, "Sister, don't worry, it's just a trivial matter!" I'll tell you about it later, and when you're tired, you can rest first! Yu'er did not ask any more questions, closed her eyes and nodded.
On the same day, Chu Sheng issued a holy decree to seal Charlene as Jin Baolin, and three days later issued a holy decree to promote Charlene to be a good person, and on the day of the full moon of the second prince, the emperor Longxin greatly appreciated the people in the Splendid Palace and promoted Charlene to the position of Jin Cairen!
Charlene has been sealed three times in a month, no one in the palace has ever won this honor, Yu'er is happy for her while secretly anxious, so favored by her as a person who has no power and no family background to rely on is not necessarily a good thing!
On this day, Chu Sheng went to the Splendid Palace to tease the second prince, and Yu'er and Xia Lin stood aside with a smile. Suddenly, hearing a commotion outside, the emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Why is it so noisy?" Yu'er gave Jinxin a look behind her, who hurriedly lowered her head and retreated, scolding, "What are you making a lot of noise? If you are shocked, how many heads does the second prince have enough to cut off? ”
But I saw a little palace maid with a sad face and replied: "Auntie, I'm here to ask to see Yugui Concubine Niangniang!" Jinxin glanced at her and replied: "Niangniang is accompanying the emperor, what will happen later!" As she spoke, she wanted to turn around, but the little palace maid knelt down and cried with a puff: "Auntie, I'm afraid that Xironghua can't wait!" ”
Jinxin sighed in his heart, thinking that his master had been sick some time ago and had left Zhuang Xin'er behind, so he turned his head and asked, "Are you from Butterfly Palace?" The girl kowtowed and replied: "The slave maid was personally pointed out by Niangniang to serve Xironghua in Dieqi Palace some time ago, our little master is sick, and I hope that Niangniang will be kind to pass on the imperial doctor for her!" Seeing that she knew that Xirong Hua would be very ill, Jinxin nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, I'll report this matter to Niangniang in a while, you go back first!" ”
When Jinxin returned to Charlene's dormitory, Chu Sheng asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" Jinxin glanced at Yu'er and stopped talking, and Yu'er saw this and scolded coldly: "What does the emperor's question look like?" Don't hurry up and talk back! ”
Jinxin hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Back to the emperor, back to Niangniang, it was the people from the Dieqi Palace who came to see Niangniang, and the people outside knew that the emperor was here and stopped her, but who knew that she refused to leave, so it was noisy!" ”
"Butterfly Palace?" Chu Sheng groaned, and the woman who was faint like a wisp of smoke appeared in his mind, sighed and asked, "What's wrong with her?" Jinxin raised his head and secretly glanced at Yu'er standing behind Chu Sheng, and saw that the latter nodded, so he continued: "Xironghua of Dieqi Palace fell ill due to a miscarriage, and the attack became more and more severe from winter to spring, and now it is no longer good to look at people, and the little palace maid really has no way to know that our mother has always been kind-hearted, so she came to ask to see!" ”
Chu Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and asked hurriedly, "Is there such a thing?" Why didn't you ask a doctor to take a look at her? Yu'er saw that Chu Sheng knew so much that he must still have Xin'er in his heart, so she covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and replied in a deep voice: "The emperor doesn't know that people in the palace are used to stepping low and climbing high, and it is best for her to be a concubine who is not favored and grounded, and it is best not to fall into the well, how can anyone care about her life or death?" If it weren't for the concubines who often took care of her, I was afraid that the emperor would not be able to see her now! Although Yu'er deliberately said this to Chu Sheng, it was also the truth in the end, and in the end, Yu'er couldn't help but have red eyes!
Seeing this, Chu Sheng glanced at Yu'er comfortingly, and said, "Hurry up and ask a doctor to take a look at her!" ”
Yu'er curtled her knees and replied, "Yes!" The concubines obey the order! With that, he turned his head and walked out.
When the two of them came to the Dieqi Palace, they saw Xin'er sitting in the hall in a dignified manner although she was thin and good, and the little palace maid who was crying and crying lost her anxious look before.
"My sister is here!" Xin'er got up to meet her and said, Yu'er nodded and sat down on the chair and said to the little palace maid: "You did a very good job today, this palace will definitely reward you!" The little palace maid was busy and thanked, "Thank you for the reward!" ”
"Alright, it's none of your business here, you can go out first!" Yu'er waved her hand and commanded.
After the little palace maid went out, she said to Zhuang Xin'er: "What is the pestle doing there?" Sit down! Hearing this, Xin'er sat down on the chair next to her.
"I saw the emperor's face today and knew that he must still remember you in his heart, if you endure it for the time being, I will definitely find a way to save you out!"
Xin'er only nodded lightly when she heard this, with an indifferent look on her face, as if she didn't care if she could go out or not. Seeing this, Yu'er didn't know what to say, so she briefly explained a few words and went back with her heart.
After a few more days, the weather became warmer and warmer. At dinner, the little eunuch in front of the emperor came to deliver the decree, and Chu Sheng turned over Li Jieyu's sign tonight and asked him to prepare. Yu'er knew that the time had come, and went to Su'er's room to explain a lot of words before going back.
Sure enough, on the second day, Chu Sheng ordered someone to thoroughly investigate Zijuan and sent someone to bring her family from Huai'an into the palace. Her unsuccessful brother was detained for many days, and at first thought that her sister had come to save him, and happily followed the visitor into the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, he knew that the real calamity was waiting for him, and within a few days, he relented and told her sister that she had accepted bribes. Chu Sheng's thunderous momentum did not wait for the harem to react, and Zijuan had been imprisoned in the Punishment Division, and ordered people to torture him strictly, and he must explain the cause and effect of Xin'er's fornication. Who knew that she still couldn't prevent the thief, only two days and nights, the purple juan couldn't help but torture and hit people headlong and died, she only admitted that she was guilty of framing Xi Ronghua but did not spit out who was behind the scenes.
Yu'er paced back and forth in the main hall, with an annoyed face, Li Xiyue could still be so clean after arranging it for so long. Su'er sat on the stool and took a sip of the teacup in front of her, and persuaded: "Sister, don't be so angry, in the end, the emperor still pardoned Xin'er and promoted her position, now she is a happy Jieyu, and even Zhou Mingli has been promoted, which is also a good thing for us!" ”
Yu'er stopped pacing back and forth when she heard her speak, and replied with a look of concern: "Having said that, that Li Xiyue was not injured at all, but only took pity on the child in Xin'er's belly!" ”
"It's a long time coming, we have an opportunity, why should my sister be in a hurry!" Su'er said and looked ahead with a determined face.
Yu'er sighed and nodded, "That's all it can be!" ”
