Hongyan deliberately made some movements, and then entered the door with tea, and when Concubine Wen Hui saw her coming back, she said: "You should also persuade the emperor, you can't be too rude to the Queen Mother, although you all have your reasons, but Hongyan's attitude towards the Queen Mother, I don't agree." I know you have bitterness in your heart, but you are the emperor's concubine in the end, and you always have to do something on the scene, so why let yourself be caught by others. ”

"Yes." Hongyan reluctantly responded, carefully put down the tea, glanced at each other with Hongli, smiled warmly at each other, and provoked the concubine to be disgusted, "You still have to be here with me, I don't know, it's all the emperor's own habits." ”

Hongli hurriedly said: "Since the imperial grandmother knows, don't embarrass her, she is not enough for this one thing, but it is not her fault to say that she is insufficient." E-Niang, she doesn't lack anything, everyone is respectful to her, and so is Hongyan, how distressed you are to feel sorry for her. ”

"Look, don't go outside and make people laugh at these words." The concubine drank tea, suddenly remembered something, and instructed the grandmother next to her, and soon a palace maid took a large paper bag, and the grandmother carefully unfolded it in front of Hongyan, which was a bag of all kinds of seeds, and Hongyan only recognized the bright red wolfberry.

Concubine Wen Hui said: "This is called sending tea, boiling ligustrum and raspberry with boiling water, and putting wolfberry into a bowl to flush the boiled medicinal juice, and drink tea every day, nourish the kidneys, strengthen the muscles, moisten the lungs and soothe the liver, which is very good for the body." ”

As soon as I heard the name of this tea, I knew that it was a home remedy for asking for children, Hongyan's body had been taken care of by Dr. He for many years, and Dr. He had also studied a lot of recipes, including the recipes of the Mongolian doctor who helped Concubine Shu give birth, but none of them were effective. Since it was the concubine's intention, Hongyan would still accept it gratefully, but she knew in her heart that it must be another useless work.

The concubine said: "This tea is sweet and relish, it is better than taking medicine, you have to drink tea every day, this tea can be drunk by both men and women, in the future, don't toss any old gentleman's eyebrows and red robes in your house, take this as water to drink, it is much stronger than the bitter decoction." You don't have to pay attention to eating, when you are thirsty and drink a bowl, if you don't eat, you won't eat, how can you drink a few bowls of tea and have children? The name is good, but the essence is to condition the body. ”

The emperor asked Mama to make two bowls, and drank them hot, and sure enough, it was easy to eat, without the unpleasant smell and bitterness of the decoction, and the sweetness of the wolfberry, Hongli said: "In the future, you will drink these in the house, and you will give them to me to eat when I come." ”

Hongyan felt that it was not bad, and promised with a mouth: "The concubine has written it down, this is probably much cheaper than tossing the tea that the emperor loves, and the snow has not melted yet, and the concubine is worried about whether she can get Ming Qian tea this year, the emperor didn't have to drink it last year, and then he was annoyed, right?" ”

Hongli frowned at Hongyan, telling her not to talk to the concubine about these trivial things, as if he was particularly difficult to serve, Concubine Wenhui smiled and said: "The emperor has a virtuous help like Hongyan, who knows cold and hot and is intimate, and everything is thoughtful for you, which is really a blessing." Stay at Kangxi's time for a while, if it is your own grandmother, you will have a headache. Sister Concubine De, she has to worry about a copper plate with Kangxi, if she tosses out such a tea for her to eat, she can ask your imperial grandfather for one or two hundred silver, saying that she can't afford it. ”

Hongyan listened with interest, she especially liked to listen to several concubines tell the story of the Kangxi Dynasty, and always felt that the emperor's grandmother was a particularly magical character, she could educate the best prince, but she would also be cute and trivial like an ordinary woman in trivial things.

Hongli said with a smile: "Grandmother, what she has saved is all left to the first emperor and grandchildren. He looked at Hongyan and said, "Grandmother can ask Kangxi what to ask for like that, Kangxi must be very happy, the person in front of us has never known what to want, and it is not easy for me to coax her to be happy." ”

Hongyan put away the tea bowl for sending the tea, glanced at the emperor and left, and the concubine saw her leaving, so she said to the emperor: "I feel sorry for her, it is always limited, everything still depends on the emperor." ”

Hongli's expression was slightly serious, and he nodded and said seriously: "Grandson remembers." ”

After that, the emperor left Pinghu Qiuyue with Hongyan, and went to the nearby Siyi Book House to talk, and the two stayed for most of the day, and they didn't know what they were doing in it, but they were envious of others.

Let's say that the queen mother, for Dai Jia's postponement of entering the palace is unhappy, has been waiting for the emperor to give her an explanation, this time she just came out of the small Buddha hall, the palace people in front of the door came to tell the emperor, saying that the emperor and Concubine Ling Niangniang went to Siyi Book House from Pinghu Qiuyue, and will not come to Ningchun Hall for a while, if the queen mother really wants to see the emperor, it is better to invite generously.

Mama Hua hugged the Queen Mother, feeling her hands trembling, the old lady really said angrily: "What please, the mother wants to lower her voice and beg her son?" He only has the grandmother who raised him in his eyes, where is I, the mother who gave birth to him? ”

Fortunately, the palace people have long been repelled by Mama Hua, and these angry words have not been listened to by idle people, but the Queen Mother is worried, and the people in Ning Chun Hall don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and everyone knows that the mother and son are not in harmony. Hua Mama used to always work hard and be thoughtful, thinking that the queen mother would always think about the emperor regardless of it. But now even the emperor doesn't matter, if Mama Hua does something, she will do it again, and the mother and son have reached this point, which is really something that I couldn't think of before.

But on this day, the emperor came in the end, he passed the imperial meal to Ningchun Hall, to accompany the queen mother to eat, and even called several young and beautiful concubines of Ying Concubine and Bai Guiren to serve, there are others who will not pull down their faces, the emperor also did this on purpose, after a meal, the wife was peaceful, and there was no effort to speak in private, and the emperor left.

The Queen Mother barely ate something for dinner, but because of the bad mood, she was all blocked in the stomach, and she couldn't live in peace until midnight, and she invited the imperial doctor overnight, and the emperor had to come, and even Concubine Yu Ling Concubine was alarmed, and the imperial doctor in the house bleed for the Queen Mother to help digestion, she breathed a sigh of relief, and Mama Hua said: "Long live Lord and Concubine Ling, Concubine Yu Niangniang are waiting outside the door, can you see it?" ”

"What time is it?" The Queen Mother's breath was weak.

"It's past the hour."

"The emperor will go to court early tomorrow, you let him rest early, Concubine Yu is not too young to toss. Let Concubine Ling wait outside to accompany me, in case anything happens, I can take care of it. The Queen Mother couldn't stop the hatred in her heart from revealing her eyes closed, and in the end, she still had to get along with Wei Hongyan, as if she could only get along with her.

But Mama Hua reluctantly passed the words out, Concubine Yu didn't dare to say more, and Hongyan didn't feel any embarrassment, even the emperor naturally said to her: "You take care of it, and send someone to tell me immediately if there is anything." While instructing the palace people to prepare reclining chairs, blankets and charcoal fires for Concubine Ling, he was really relieved to leave Hongyan behind.

And although the Queen Mother deliberately left Concubine Ling to embarrass her, she was indeed too old to withstand such a toss, the emperor vomited soon after leaving, Hongyan came in to help Mama Hua serve together, the Queen Mother pushed her hand away at first, and then she couldn't help herself, tossed a few times, and finally stopped after the ugly time. Hongyan is destined to have no sleep this night.

When the Queen Mother woke up the next day, there was plenty of sunshine in the room, and the outside was peaceful and clean, when she just wanted to call someone, she heard Hongyan's voice saying: "The Queen Mother didn't sleep all night, she must be tired, my sister might as well let the Queen Mother sleep full, the doctor said that if you can't digest it, don't stuff it into your stomach again, when you are hungry and thirsty, it's not too late to feed." The medicine also hurts the body, so it's better to wait until your spirit is better before sending it down. ”

It was Concubine Yu's voice that said, "Go back and rest, there is me here." ”

Hongyan said: "The emperor has come to the court early, and the queen mother has not woken up, if she wakes up, my sister greets the emperor, and the emperor said that he will come after the court." ”

Then there was a movement of people leaving outside, Concubine Yu said a few words there, and when she went to the bedside, she found that the Queen Mother had woken up, and she was busy asking the old lady how she was, but the Queen Mother said: "Concubine Ling stayed all night last night?" ”

Concubine Yu bowed her head and said, "Sister, she didn't close her eyes all night, and the concubine saw it...... Her clothes were also changed, and Mama said that you vomited so much that it was all on her. ”

The Queen Mother turned her face away coldly, and asked the emperor if he had come, although Concubine Yu had not met, she still conveyed Hongyan's words, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to sneer: "Who knows if he came to see me or someone else." ”

Concubine Yu had nothing to say, so she decided to do more things and talk less, the old lady was really weak, and soon fell asleep, and when the emperor came again, the mother and son still did not meet.

But the emperor moved all the government affairs to Ningchun Hall to do, and said that he would stay here for a few days to serve the sick, and then Concubine Shu, Concubine Wan, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Qing took turns to come, and the Queen Mother did not deliberately bring Hongyan again.

And Hongyan caught a cold when she changed her clothes that night, and when she went back that day, she contracted a cold, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother would say that she was too squeamish and deliberately pretended to be sick, so she only asked Mrs. He to prescribe a few bowls of medicine and drink a few bowls of medicine, without making a noise.

After that, for more than ten days, the entire Old Summer Palace surrounded the Queen Mother, except for the queen who was waiting to give birth and Concubine Jiagui who was in confinement, all the concubines went to ask for an attendant, and Hongyan's wind and cold were also cured, Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu hugged the ten elder brothers to see her, talking about the Queen Mother, Hongyan personally experienced that night, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Queen Mother is old, that day Concubine Wenhui persuaded me, I now think, why should I be so deep with an old lady." ”

Concubine Yu remembered what the Queen Mother said after Hongyan left that day, and she swallowed the words to her lips, and only said: "You did a good job." ”

As she was talking, Bai Li came from outside, she was sent to Ning Chun Tang to have a look, and at this time she said to Concubine Yu and several maids: "When the slave came back, I saw that Mrs. Sutu led their young lady to come, and I heard Concubine Ying say that she came to serve the queen mother to recuperate, and she was going to live in the palace." ”

Concubine Shu sneered: "The road is one foot high, the demon is one foot high, the queen mother is against the queen?" ”
