Chapter 51: Happy Birthday
Teaching Mama won't be so stupid. She has been in the palace for so many decades, and has served countless little masters, princesses and princes learn the rules, and she is not the object of casual bullying with her experience, but the concubine does not cherish it, and disobeys her orders again and again, bargaining with her. The identity of the queen mother is indeed very useful, but not everyone can rely on it. Wang Jingchen's eyes are not good, and she has found the wrong person.
In this world, no matter who you are, there are people who like you, there must be people who hate you, this is a universal law. But people who really have problems with their personality need to be counted separately. Wang Jingchen is a glass of water, in a golden cup called "power", the water is full, she doesn't realize that one day she will die on it.
"Oh? Concubine Wan. The mourners know. "Yang Li'er is indeed very likely to walk with Wang Jingchen. They have one picture and one picture, and Wang Jingchen's brain is not easy to use, so it is inevitable to be together. It's just, are these two people stupid? There are only two concubines in the palace who resist Queen Murong Zhi together, and those who know that Murong Zhi is difficult to deal with, but those who don't know, they are clearly forcing the throne. Even if it's not, the strength of the two concubines of the main palace will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, haven't they used their brains to think about it?
"From today on, the mourning family will call Duanxia to take a look every day, you teach Concubine Chen well, if there is a problem, you are the only one who asks." The Queen Mother herself never thought that one day her mother's family would be handed over to such a person to guard. She asked herself if she had been in power for so many years, and she had done her best for the power of her mother's family, why did she change when she came to Wang Jingchen's side?
It's not that she didn't think about asking someone from her mother's family to re-cultivate, but at this time, the juniors of the right age in the family are almost married, and there is a sick seedling who was born with poor physique and has been holding ginseng to hang herself, and it is a very difficult problem to let the lord of the world, her son, accept it. Even if you can stand out in the end, it won't be of much use.
"Yes." Mama Jiao Xi replied softly and walked out with small steps. She is not harming Wang Jingchen, nor is she saying that she wants to make trouble in the entire palace. Everyone has everyone's standards in their hearts, although Mama Xi is not a big official, but she also knows that there are no rules, and there is no square circle. Han Qin has been in business for so many years, and as one of the people, she still has to do her best. The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband.
The blue robe and the chief physician knelt in the center of the hall. Qing Ruifan looked at the two of them with a serious face. The events of the night had reached him, and he himself had no obvious feelings, but that he had drunk too much and had a hangover and a faintness. He had already asked someone to see the concubines, all of them were pale, rolling over and over on the bed, and the imperial doctor next to him guarded several but there was no way at all, so he could only find some prescriptions that would cure the symptoms but not the root cause and fry them.
"Imperial Doctor, what have you found?" Qing Ruifan stood on the smooth floor, his bright yellow boots pacing on the ground, and his every move was majestic. The five-clawed golden dragon in the center of the clothes highlights the supremacy of imperial power, showing nobility but also being unapproachable. This man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a gorgeous costume, has a fierce voice, and his face is full of displeasure and sternness. Although it is a palace, but the place where the Son of Heaven stays, why does it make others vicious?
"Back to the emperor, Weichen asked the imperial doctors, and they all said that this disease is strange, but it is not fatal, and it will not be too harmful, at most, it is to pull the stomach for a few days, there is no big problem." The chief physician also seemed at a loss. He was dug out of the bed at night, and he didn't know anything, and after asking in the morning meeting, his colleagues couldn't tell what was going on, and only relied on years of experience to show that there was no big problem with this medicine, but the more this happened, the more strange it was.
Medicine, with only two purposes, is to harm and to save people. Above board, only those who save people will use it, and in such a situation, it can only be poisoning. It can cause such a big sensation and can't be found, the method of the poisoner is still clever, but why should the poison be thrown out if it is not threatening and not fatal? No one has thought this through.
"Well, I see. Send someone to keep an eye on you, and go down. Qing Ruifan just nodded slightly, raised his big hand, and the chief doctor stood up silently, saluted and stepped back, turned around and went out and closed the door. It is now the evening of the next day, and the symptoms have been reduced but it is still not enough, it is estimated that it will last for two or three days, and Qing Ruifan does not know medical skills, so he can only call someone to watch.
"Get up, blue." Qing Ruifan has great trust in the blue coat. Lan Yi is the closest person around him, there is no shortage of money, there is no love, he has no reason to doubt him. Lan Yi is loyal, even at the most difficult moment of life and death, Lan Yi has not said a word to betray or even deceive, he believes him, so there is no need to ask.
"Your Majesty, please let Weichen investigate this matter." Lan Yi still felt unwilling after all. It is his blessing that the emperor does not blame, but if this matter is not investigated, it will be difficult to explain and clear his suspicions, and it will leave the palace with the stain of Qing Ruifan's favoritism towards an attendant, which is always unfavorable.
"No need. I'll take care of that. Qing Ruifan vaguely knew something, but he just didn't intend to admit it. That person's words, with her light temperament, I'm afraid she wouldn't think about doing this kind of thing, if she was found out, she wouldn't be able to make any good money, she would only make a fuss, and no one would be stupid enough to splash dirty water on herself.
People sometimes fall into the cycle of self-righteousness, but no one really wants to trust someone else's instincts instead of their own.
In the afternoon, Murong Zhi was still discouraged by the cicadas and the heat. She rarely celebrates her birthday, Gu Huai only told her which day was her birthday, and then she didn't relax in training for a moment, Feng Yiluo had no choice but to follow her, accompanied her throughout the whole process but never said anything. Later, Chu Zhaonan came, and there will be some different gadgets on his birthday every year.
The easiest thing to do with a child is to coax. Chu Zhaonan successfully coaxed Murong Zhi with some whimsical ideas for more than ten years, but every time she knew that she really wanted to do so, she only smiled lightly. There was never such a thing as a little bit of caution between them. He is her "Zhaonan", she is his "Ling'er", that's all.
Murong Zhi's birthday was in the middle of summer, basically in Zhuangzi, and Chu Zhaonan would also bring the entire Zhuangzi people and some friends, so she had a lively time every year. At least when the river lantern is fixed at night, all the people will surround her, and the kind of family-like companionship and satisfaction is what she is most tempted by.
A long time ago, when Gu Huai left her and Liangyue, only Chu Zhaonan was silently by her side to accompany her, her first birthday was a very simple river lantern, the two children looked at the same meal in front of them, they could only eat silently, picked up the lantern they had made before and went to the river, walked around Changling, and found a stream on the mountain, on the dim and winding mountain road, the two children who were still young opened the fire fold wrapped in bamboo paper, lit the paper paste in their hands, and the red dye was painted unevenly, Traces of handiwork are obvious. The orange light lit up and slowly flowed lower with the clear stream. They can't go down the mountain, and before Gu Huai left, he said that he couldn't go down the mountain for a year.
At that time, they will float farther than anyone's boat, and the one who is far away will be very happy, and happily feel that their wish will be fulfilled. At that time, both of them would laugh, their white teeth exposed, very happy, very innocent, very, out of reach.
Standing on the edge of Changxin Lake, Murong Zhi looked at the dense lotus leaves and lotus flowers, which were not clear under the illumination of the lanterns, but aroused her faint thoughts.
After she entered the palace, she saw countless concubines coming to her palace, and the moment she saw Qing Ruifan, her eyes were straight, and the happiness and joy that flowed on the surface were mixed with the so-called love and longing. She herself knows very well that only when she sees Chu Zhaonan, who has returned from a long distance, can she have that kind of longing and that kind of happiness in her heart.
I'm glad that you have been treated gently by the world, so that I can see you completely in front of me.
At this time, the sun was slowly going down, and Yunshuang was also gently reminding him on the side. Originally, I didn't plan to publicize it, but when Yunshuang asked about the birthday arrangement, Lixia listened to it, and then the whole courtyard knew about it. Murong Zhi was really tired today, and when she woke up in the afternoon, she heard that Lixia asked Yunshuang to accompany her out for a walk, and she came back after holding the lamp. Murong Zhi didn't break it down, nodded and took the lantern and left.
When she returned to the courtyard, she saw a clear yellow. I secretly thought in my heart that I still raised my legs and stepped in. "I've seen the emperor."
"Ah Zhi, you did it, right?" Qing Ruifan didn't enter the main hall, just stood in the courtyard, deliberately waiting for her appearance. Murong Zhi also saw it, and helped Yunshuang's hand, and when she grabbed it, only she could feel it, trembling.
Qing Ruifan is always able to guess everything inadvertently. She didn't know why Qing Ruifan knew that she would be so panicked. She subconsciously grasped Yunshuang's hand in her hand, and Yunshuang's temperature gave her some comfort, so that she could look into his eyes calmly, and said the truth that she didn't even know why: "What is the emperor talking about?" He couldn't see her expression in the dark, so she could make it up as she pleased.
"Ah Zhi, this kind of gain outweighs the loss, it will only make it more difficult for you to do it in the future." Qing Ruifan didn't know why, the first time he saw Murong Zhi, he thought that she did it, since she didn't admit it, then he said it. As far as matters are concerned, one yard is one yard, he doesn't believe that Murong Zhi is so cautious.
Murong Zhi stopped looking at him, and directly helped Yunshuang into the main hall. As soon as I entered, I heard a group of people gathered together and shouted: "May Niangniang's birthday be happy and the blessings will last." Qing Ruifan was stunned on the spot. Birthday?! Is it Zhi's birthday today? How could he have forgotten it himself? When Lan Yi checked her before, she had clearly marked these things, but she didn't remember any of them.
"Get up." Murong Zhi looked at the ten people standing together so neatly, and just as she was about to walk in, she saw something on the table, a bowl of plain longevity noodles. It is served on a plate with blue flowers on a white background, and there are sauces and the like in it, and it looks delicious. Turning her head to ask something, she saw that the group of people were blocked at the door, Qing Ruifan glanced at it with a light expression, and the combination of Yangchun noodles and seasonal vegetables aroused her appetite. The emptiness of Chu Zhaonan's absence also blew away a little. But......
