Rong Chang stretched out his hand to 'touch' Nalan's belly: "You see, just like last time, this time it must be a prince." Counting the days, don't be born on the birthday of the Queen Mother, if you take it seriously, it is a fate. ”

"The Empress Dowager may not come back on her birthday, they are all here, and Concubine Zhao is afraid that she will be busy in vain." Nalan said, "After the Lantern Festival, the Empress Dowager is about to leave for Chicheng Tangquan to recuperate, and the emperor cares more about the Empress Dowager's body than her birthday." ”

Rong Chang sighed: "This trip to Shengjing is really not worth it, the Empress Dowager's health is not good, and the second elder brother is also ......."

Ji Xin had already retired, and only the two of them were left in the room, Rong Chang was asking: "What is the illness of the second elder brother, the queen also went to the elder brother's house to participate in the three baptism ceremonies today, I am really very hung in my heart." ”

Nalan Clan: "Sister, don't 'show' on your face, it's a great disrespect to the queen, the palace seems to be calm, but if something is wrong, I'm afraid ......"

Rong Changzai closed his eyes: "Yes, I hope that the second elder brother is good, if the second elder brother is not good, our children will not have hope, in the eyes of the emperor, after all, there is only the queen mother." ”

The Nalan clan also understands that if you want to get the emperor's heart in this life, you can't do it, it's better to give up early, and only seek immediate and future benefits, but then again, if you don't have a hundred days, who knows what will happen in the future.

After that, on Chinese New Year's Eve, everything was as before, but in the first month of the eleventh year of Kangxi, Concubine Zhao never saw Ama enter the palace again.

The word from the family is that Jubilon is sick, and he is too sick to enter the palace to see his daughter, how serious it should be, otherwise at this juncture, Ama will definitely come to her, the queen's son is dying, you must seize the opportunity.

But if Ama really said that, Lingzhao would be very uncomfortable, she liked the second elder brother, and liked the second elder brother to smile sweetly when he saw her.

Ling Zhao never thought that he would like the queen's children.

Before the Lantern Festival, Ling Zhao came to Cining Palace to ask for peace and asked if the Empress Dowager's luggage was packed.

Ling Zhao respectfully said: "Your jade body is healthy, stronger than anything else, the original birthday banquet was also a banquet for the princes and ministers, and the concubines sent all the delicious food to the Tangquan Palace." ”

Yu'er said with a smile: "It was also your idea to repair the Tangquan Palace, but I didn't expect it to be useful to my body, and it can be regarded as your filial piety is not in vain." ”

Ling Zhao said happily: "The empress dowager is like this, and the concubines are even happier." ”

Not long after, after exiting from Cining Palace, and only after passing the base of the Qianqing Palace wall, someone hurriedly caught up from behind and crossed Lingzhao's steps.

Three or four imperial doctors rushed to Kunning Palace, leaving a eunuch to confess to Lingzhao, and it was rude to walk in front of the mother, but Kunning Palace was in a hurry to recruit imperial doctors, and they really didn't dare to delay.

Ling Zhao naturally didn't care, but instead stepped down, and came in from the west gate of Kunning Palace, and saw that Kunning Palace was busy.

"How is the second elder brother?" Ling Zhao called a palace maid and asked worriedly, "Second elder brother is sick again?" ”

It just so happened that Sanger saw Concubine Zhao outside the door, and hurriedly greeted her, and said respectfully: "Let Concubine Zhao worry, it's not that the second elder brother is sick, it's that the queen mother didn't want to burn her wrist, and the people below are shocked." ”

Ling Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Can I go in and see the queen mother?" ”

Sange: "Niangniang is disheveled at this time, busy with 'medicine', Concubine Zhao, see if it will be some time later, the slave maid will go to Yikun Palace to invite you." “

"Yes, I'll step back first and greet the queen mother for me." Ling Zhao looked at the front of the temple where everyone looked nervous, thinking back to the scene when the second elder brother ran and pounced on her before, and he didn't know when he would see him again.

During the Lantern Festival banquet, the queen did not attend the dinner because she burned her wrist, and the queen mother violated the harmony and did not "show up" at this year's banquet.

Although Ling Zhao tried his best to make the banquet sound and beautiful, the atmosphere at the banquet was a little different after all.

The banquet dispersed, and after Xuan Yegong sent his grandmother back to Ningshou Palace, he went straight to Kunning Palace, Shu Shu was lying on the side of the bed and patting his sleeping son, Chenghu's forehead was covered with a cloth bag wrapped in ice.

The ice water melted so fast that someone had to wipe it off from time to time, which shows how badly the child burned.

Xuan Ye grabbed Shu Shu's wrist, and his white and tender skin was intact, and there was no burn at all.

He understood that Shu Shu was using the excuse that he was burned, transferred the imperial doctor, and took the ice cubes, so he was afraid of blocking the Empress Dowager during the Lantern Festival, and he was afraid of delaying himself to send the Empress Dowager to Chicheng for recuperation tomorrow.

"After I settle the imperial grandmother, I will return to the capital immediately." Xuan Ye said, "Shu Shu, I will be back with you soon." ”

Shu Shu smiled gently: "The emperor is in a hurry, and the ministers will be uneasy, as if you left the empress dowager there, why don't you stay with the empress dowager for a few more days, and by the way, take a good look at the local customs, and look forward to the arrival of the holy driver, bringing the emperor's grace and blessings." ”

"Shu Shu ......"

"Your Majesty, life and death are fateful." Shu Shu looked at Xuan Ye strongly, "Cheng Hu Ruosheng, may he become the pillar of the Qing Dynasty and the arm of Ama." If Cheng Hu died, as the first prince of the Qing Dynasty, he also took up all the glory and wealth in this life, short and gorgeous. ”

Xuan Ye clenched his teeth, tried to contain his pain, and gradually calmed down and said, "I understand, I will arrange everything properly, and then come back to accompany you and my son." Shu Shu, you have to promise me to take care of yourself. ”

"Have a safe journey." Shu Shu bowed and said, "Let's go back to the Qianqing Palace tonight to rest, before the imperial grandmother arrives at the palace safely, I don't want to spread any words to disturb the imperial grandmother's mind, the imperial grandmother is too tired, and Chenghu has his own life." ”

Xuan Ye lovingly brushed away the broken hair on Shu Shu's sideburns, kissed her forehead, and then reluctantly retreated, stopped and stared at the door for a moment before turning to leave.

"Da Lizi, send your most powerful person to stay in the Qianqing Palace, always watch the movements of Kunning Palace, if the second elder brother and the queen have anything, send the news to Chicheng immediately, and there must be no delay." Xuan Ye ordered, "Don't delay for a moment." ”

This night, Shu Shu stayed up all night to accompany his son, and the next morning, he ordered Sange to put two layers of fat powder for himself to cover his tired face, and after dressing neatly, he went to Qianqingmen to send off the holy driver.

The carriage of the Empress Dowager came directly from Cining Palace, and after stopping, the curtain was lifted, Yu'er looked at the children, and said to Shu Shu: "Empress, take care of your body." ”

Shu Shufu: "Imperial grandmother, you should come back early after taking care of your health, otherwise your grandson will miss you." ”

Xuan Ye walked over, said some words to Shu Shu and Ling Zhao respectively, and immediately took advantage of the lack of wind today and set off early.

Shu Shu saw the holy car disappear from outside the Qianqing Gate, and was about to rush back to guard Chenghu, Lingzhao had already found that the queen's wrist did not look like there was any trace of being tied by the grid, so he guessed that the second elder brother was not very good.

And Shu Shu suddenly stopped, ordered Lingzhao to come forward, and ordered: "From now on, everything in the palace will be taught to you, I am unwell, and I will also recuperate for a few days, and the birthday of the Empress Dowager is also up to you, so you don't have to ask me." ”

"The concubine has an order, please give birth to a good life and recuperate." Ling Zhao didn't give in, so he agreed directly.

"But if you get it," Shu Shu said softly, "Let's take a look at Chenghu." ”

Ling Zhao's heart was sour, and she nodded stiffly, but the queen smiled, as calm and generous as she used to be, and slowly walked away with the palace people.

"You're all going to disperse." Ling Zhao took a deep breath and instructed everyone, "In the next few days, we must prepare for the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager, there are many people in and out of the palace, you are the emperor's harem, don't be wrong." ”

In this compartment, Rong Chang was still in bed and confinement, and Nalan was not allowed to go out because he could give birth at any time, so he didn't go to the front to see him off.

"The queen mother is sick, I think most of them are hiding to take care of the second elder brother, and I don't dare to let the outside know." Li Chang was drinking tea, snorting, "It's really weird, I thought that the eldest brother and the third elder brother were gone, how could the second elder brother be able to keep it, but the result was ......"

Everyone was silent, Li Chang looked around, and pulled up his collar: "Mamma said, the yin qi of the Forbidden City is too heavy, only the real dragon can be suppressed, not everyone who was born can be the emperor, the dragon qi is insufficient, so naturally it will ......"

Hesheri covered her mouth and smiled awkwardly at everyone: "Sisters, rest, let's go first." ”

Although Li's words are not good, but the truth is so, Rong Changzai and Nalan glanced at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that no matter how many princes there were, there was only one person who could inherit the throne in the future.
