Shu Shu agreed to the queen mother's wish, but also mentioned that they would have a heart at that time, and Ling Zhao might not be willing to accept it, after all, if she really wants to raise other imperial heirs one day, it means that Concubine Zhao has given up completely.
The Queen Mother also said: "This is natural, and when the time comes, it will be good for her to nod herself, but it is just our kindness." โ
On the way to the Qianqing Palace with Laba porridge, Sange mentioned this matter: "Concubine Zhao's heart is very high, I am afraid that she will not nod, the slave maid thought, it is better to have another way." โ
Shu Shu asked, "What do you say?" โ
Sanger said: "In order to be harmonious, in addition to the princesses of the relatives, the court will often crown the daughters of the clan as princesses, some are sealed before marriage, and some are raised in the palace since childhood, and the empress dowager has raised two little princesses under her knees. It's better to choose a small county lord from the clan to raise him in the palace, saying that it is to prepare for the future and his relatives, even if it is raised by Concubine Zhao, it is also for the emperor and the court. โ
"Although it is too ruthless to separate people's flesh and blood, but in order to marry in the future, the emperor needs a princess, and sooner or later he will have to choose from the clan." Shu Shu said, "Let's see next year, if Concubine Zhao is unwilling to follow the Queen Mother's arrangement and propose this method, the Queen Mother just hopes that she will have a child by her side, and her life can be more fulfilling and down-to-earth." โ
Sange said: "In addition, although the Queen Mother is kind, the slave maid thinks that the Queen Mother underestimated Concubine Zhao. โ
Shu Shuwaner: "Do you think too?" โ
Sanger said: "Although Concubine Zhao's temperament is not very pleasing, but people have real skills, it is a pity to have no children, but how great is it to have children?" On the contrary, the slave maid felt that Concubine Zhao was already very remarkable, how old was she, everything in the Forbidden City could be managed properly, and the daughter-in-law of other families was still being reprimanded by her mother-in-law for taking care of the house. โ
Shu Shu smiled: "Do you mean my mother?" โ
Sanger also smiled: "The slave doesn't dare to say that the lady is not." โ
Shu Shu said: "The Queen Mother is also kind-hearted, and she feels sorry for her, so let it be." โ
They came all the way to the Qianqing Palace, lest they meet the ministers, so they went around to the Jiaotai Hall and came through the back door, but even so, they really couldn't get in.
The imperial court received the news that Wu Sangui's soldiers divided into several routes and ordered his subordinates to lead the army to attack Sichuan, and he directed the main force to Hunan. In this way, Yuanzhou, Changde, Baoqing, Changsha, Yongzhou, Hengzhou, Yuezhou and other prefectures are all in danger.
The ministers entered the palace one after another to discuss how to deal with the battle, and across the palace wall, Shu Shu could feel the tension and pressure on Xuan Ye's body.
"Take the laba porridge back." Shu Shu instructed Sange, "The soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion Army on the front line don't know if there is Laba porridge to eat, and the emperor eats it alone, what can he do." โ
When Shu Shu saw the emperor again, it was late at night, Xuan Ye was very tired, and when she went to tell Sange to prepare for supper, she fell asleep.
As if to isolate yourself from the outside world, you think too much, but it is easy to fall asleep, but sleeping is better than insomnia, and Shu Shu ordered everyone to retreat.
Xuan Ye slept soundly, and when he woke up, there was a black hole in the dormitory, and he didn't know what time it was, and Shu Shu was not around, he knew that pregnant people were afraid of heat, and they couldn't stay on the hot kang.
Dragging his sore body up, Xuan Ye rubbed his still swollen head, felt hungry in his abdomen, raised his head and wanted to call someone, and the candle was lit.
I saw Shu Shu wearing clothes, soft shoes, and the candle flame in his hand, and said with a smile: "I really woke up." โ
Xuan Ye said, "I'm hungry. โ
Shu Shu slowly walked to the door, and ordered the palace people on duty to prepare for supper.
Not long after, the lights in Kunning Palace were bright, but at this moment, it was only two hours before the emperor got up in the morning and went to court, and it was estimated that the emperor would not sleep again.
"You go to sleep." Xuan Ye pulled the food into his mouth and said, "It's important to take care of your body." โ
Shu Shu said: "I slept with the emperor and slept well, not to mention lying down when I had nothing to do during the day." โ
She served soup for Xuan Ye: "Eat slowly, don't choke." โ
Xuan Ye suddenly stopped the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Shu Shu and smiled: "What about your pickles, I also want to taste them." โ
Shu Shu said angrily: "It's nonsense again, that's not a good thing." โ
Xuan Ye is greedy, if he has to taste it, Shu Shu can only order Sange to get it.
"This is the pickles pickled by Eniang herself, and the others are in Cining Palace." Shu Shu picked a small plate for Xuan Ye very stingy, "It's weird and salty, just eat it with rice, and the imperial grandmother won't let me eat more." โ
Xuan Ye ate the next meal, let another bowl be served, Shu Shu ordered Sange to halve, and said to Xuan Ye: "The emperor has always been very hungry lately before eating, it's not good to eat at once, there is still an hour before the early dynasty, wait until you are hungry, and then go in." โ
Xuan Ye said: "I tossed so much, you can't have a good baby, I'm very distressed." โ
Shu Shu wiped the soup from the corner of Xuan Ye's mouth with a handkerchief, and said gently: "I am worried about you across the Jiaotai Palace, so I can't live in peace, even if I only see you once a day and say a word, you have to come over." These days, I don't ride a horse or practice archery, and when I come from the Qianqing Palace, I have the right to move my muscles and bones. โ
"I come every day." Xuan Ye shook Shu Shu's hand, "I have broken my body, and it will not play any role in the war, on the contrary, I must be healthier in order to stabilize the morale of the army." โ
However, Xuan Ye's confidence and strength could not make the Qing army invincible, Wu Sangui had obviously planned for many years, and every step was calculated to the extreme, while the southerners were disheartened and wavered all the time, which was very unfavorable to the imperial court.
Just after the first month of the thirteenth year of Kangxi, the Guangxi general Sun Yanling rebelled in Guilin, proclaimed himself the general of Anchao, and quickly captured and occupied Wuzhou, Pingnan, Xunzhou, and Fuchuan.
When the news came to the capital, Xuan Ye was in a hurry, Sun Yanling reversed, Geng Jingzhong and others must respond, and overnight, Xuan Ye had a blood blister in his mouth, and it was difficult to open his mouth to eat.
In Kunning Palace, Xuan Ye leaned on the couch, his mouth was half open, Shu Shu dipped a cotton swab in salt on the wound, Xuan Ye twitched in pain from time to time, and after all the tossing, he opened his eyes and saw tears on Shu Shu's face.
"I don't hurt." Xuan Ye smiled at Shu Shu, "It doesn't hurt at all." โ
But there were blood blisters at the corners of his mouth, and when he smiled, he pulled painfully.
Shu Shu prostrated on his chest and said, "Xuan Ye, you don't have to pretend to be strong here, I won't be afraid of panic because of this, I only feel sorry for you." โ
Xuan Ye stroked the silky green silk: "Didn't the imperial doctor say that this fire is good to come out, and it will only get in the way when it is held in the body." โ
Before the words fell, Da Li Zi rushed into the door, Shu Shu's heart suddenly lifted, and she didn't dare to hope for any good news.
But this time, it was finally something that could make Xuan Ye breathe a sigh of relief, under Sun Yanling's rebellion and Geng Jingzhong's imminent move, Shang Kexi sent a letter, saying that he would swear allegiance to the Qing Dynasty and do his best to contain more than 100,000 troops in the Liangguang area to go north, and implore the emperor to quickly dispatch troops to suppress Sun Yanling and Geng Jingzhong.
"I'm going to the Wuying Palace." Xuan Ye was in high spirits, got up, drank a bowl of honeysuckle tea, and said to Shu Shu, "You are so resting, don't worry, let's say okay, it's a big deal to lead the troops to the south together." โ
"Yes." Shu Shu tried hard to raise a smile and watched Xuan Ye leave.
The emperor went out from the west gate and went straight to the Wuying Palace, where Xiang Lingzhao happened to come out of the Yikun Palace, but he couldn't meet it.
Standing on the palace road hunting in the cold wind, she watched the emperor's figure disappear before she asked Dong Yun beside her: "Didn't you say that the emperor is in the Qianqing Palace?" How to get out of Kunning Palace. โ
Dongyun said: "Maybe you just went to ......"
Ling Zhao bowed: "Then you send the things to the Qianqing Palace, I don't have to go." โ
Dong Yun was holding a plaster for the detoxification of fire in his hand, it was said that wiping it on his mouth overnight would eliminate blood blisters, and the family was in a hurry to send it to the palace, and Niangniang planned to give it to the emperor in person.
"Niangniang, don't be in a hurry at this moment, the slave maid will inquire clearly in a few days, and you will find a chance to send it again." Dongyun said, "You're worried about the emperor, aren't you?" โ
"Yes, I'm worried about him, not to invite the pet to show his face." Ling Zhao said, "As long as the emperor is well, it is enough, you see that he is walking like flying, what else is there to worry about?" โ
As he spoke, more people came out of the west door, and everyone came with the queen, Shu Shu's stomach became more and more emboldened, and he walked slowly.
"I'm going to Cining Palace, there's good news." Shu Shu said to Ling Zhao, "Do you want to go together?" โ
Ling Zhao was also worried about the situation on the front line, so he hurriedly agreed: "The concubine will come to support you." โ
To Cining Palace, Yu'er happened to be in the study, and when she saw them coming, she asked, "There is something important." โ
Ling Zhao helped Shu Shu to sit down, and she said slowly: "Shang Kexi sent a letter, loyal to the emperor, will swear allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, and will do his best to contain the troops in the Liangguang area." โ
Yu'er put down her Western glasses, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "It's a good thing, so that my Qing army can have time to deploy troops." โ
Ling Zhao asked: "Empress Dowager, is this still gratifying and reliable?" โ
Yu'er sneered: "Although he is a Han Chinese, when he suppressed the anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces in Guangdong, he slaughtered countless Han people, and his hands were full of blood, if he is not loyal to the Qing Dynasty, there is no way out, and the spittle stars of the Han people can drown him." โ
