Chapter 58: Wenxi (I)
The little princess's 100-day banquet was held in the Zijin Palace for three days, Yu Lin was drunk, staggered to the cradle, lowered his head to kiss the child, the baby's tender skin was pricked by the beard, and he cried wow.
Lu Yuan picked up the child and patted it gently, and said angrily: "The emperor is not afraid of the smell of wine smoking the child." ”
Yu Lin said with a smile: "This child really looks like you, a beautiful embryo, I can't help but want to kiss her when I see her pity and love." Don't you love her all day long enough? ”
Lu Yuan smiled softly and said: "The emperor already has three daughters, and the concubine is only this one daughter, so she naturally loves her as the pearl of her palm." ”
Yu Lin gently scraped the bridge of her nose and said with a smile: "You little narrow ghost, your mouth is just unforgiving." ”
Lu Yuan put the little princess back in the cradle, shook it gently, and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't have a name yet, and the emperor doesn't instruct the Internal Affairs Office to come up with one." ”
Yu Lin took a sip of tea and said, "The cheesiness proposed by the Internal Affairs Office, I personally thought of one, so let's call it Jinse." ”
"Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian." Lu Yuan said softly: "Listening to the complicated strings of Jinse, thinking about the past of the Chinese year, the emperor's name is really good, but aren't the princesses' names all Congning characters?" It means that the country is peaceful and the people are safe. ”
Yu Lin smiled slightly: "Our daughter is naturally more special, this name was thought about for several days before I came up with it." ”
After hearing this, Lu Yuan bowed and said, "The concubine thanked the emperor for her name." ”
Yu Lin stretched out his hand to help him and said, "I still have some official business to return to Chengming Hall first." It's a long day, and if you're bored, go out for a walk. ”
Lu Yuanwan smiled and said: "The concubine is accompanied by Jinse, why is it boring." After a while, Jin Se woke up, and the concubine still had to take her to Ci'an Palace, when she asked for peace yesterday, the Queen Mother's aunt said that she hadn't seen Jin Se for a few days, and she missed it very much. ”
"It's good!" Yu Lin smiled and nodded, and left.
In the afternoon, Lu Yuan took Qiu Niang, Jin Se and others to Ci'an Palace.
The Empress Dowager Xiaochun hugged Jin Se and stroked it lovingly, Jin Se's little person seemed to have human nature, grinning at the Queen Mother with a small mouth, and the Queen Mother was very pleased.
She ordered Jingzhu to go to the box in the ear room and take a collar of mutton fat jade, and put it on Jin Se's neck with her own hands. This circle is white and flawless, and the essence is contained, and it is worth a lot at a glance.
Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "My aunt has already rewarded her with a lot of good things, and I love her too much." ”
The Queen Mother smiled lovingly: "The mourning family already has several granddaughters and grandchildren, but as soon as I saw her, my whole heart melted, this little person is a lovely person." ”
Lu Yuan smiled: "It's just my aunt's partiality." There are many sisters in the harem, and my aunt will have many grandchildren. After a pause, he seemed to say unintentionally: "It is said that Concubine Rong has been in the palace for a long time, and she has endured a lot of rain and dew, why is there no birth?" ”
The Queen Mother said lightly: "She will not have children." ”
Lu Yuan was taken aback, and looked at the Queen Mother in surprise, the Queen Mother took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Soon after she entered the palace, she was promoted from a concubine to a concubine, with unlimited scenery, and Zheng Yuan and a prominent family background behind her. In order to prevent Concubine Rong from giving birth to a child, pampering and arrogance, and threatening the government, every time after she went to bed, the mourning family would reward her with a bowl of avoidance soup, which the emperor and queen all knew. ”
Lu Yuan's eyes were full of astonishment and said, "Concubine Rong obediently took the Shunzi soup?" ”
A smile rose at the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, and she said from afar: "The mourning family only told her that she was making fetal medicine, how could she not drink it?" She has been drinking it for several years, and the medicinal properties have already penetrated into her internal organs, and she will not have children. ”
Although the Queen Mother said it lightly, when she heard this, Lu Yuan was also shocked for a while.
When the Queen Mother saw that she was silent, she said, "Do you think my old woman will be so ruthless?" ”
Lu Yuan hurriedly calmed down: "Auntie is doing this for the sake of the peace of the harem and the society of Dayin, and it is not an exaggeration. ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "Which woman in the harem doesn't have some blood on her hands?" Now that the mourning family is old, I don't care about these things, I just think about the Buddha, chanting the scriptures, and it can be regarded as atonement for the first half of my life. ”
Lu Yuan nodded and replied, "Yuanyuan obeys." ”
After saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, Lu Yuan returned to Jingxi Palace, she handed over Jinse to Qiu Niang to breastfeed, and then called Biluo in and ordered: "You go to the Tai Hospital to inquire and see which Tai Doctors are on duty in the Tai Hospital now." Biluo took the order and left.
After about half an hour, Bi Luo came back and replied: "Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zhao of the Imperial Hospital have been relieved of their official duties and gone home to recuperate, Imperial Physician Jiang and Imperial Physician Qin were ordered to go out of the palace to serve the old prince a few days ago, and now there are only three senior Imperial Physicians on duty, Imperial Physician Xu, and Imperial Physician Sun. ”
Lu Yuan asked, "Then which imperial doctor has come to ask Concubine Rong for peace recently?" ”
"It's Imperial Physician Wang." Biluo replied.
Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, the palace is a little unwell, then go and ask this imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of the palace." ”
A few days later, in the main hall of Kunyi Palace, the queen ordered someone to serve the newly made almond tea to the little masters who went to ask for peace.
The queen said strangely: "Why doesn't Concubine Rong's sister drink it?" ”
Concubine Rong asked, owed, and smiled skillfully: "The concubine has a bad appetite these days, and she only loves to eat sour, and she will be disgusted when she smells this sweet and greasy thing." As he spoke, he made a gesture of disgust.
Concubine Liang smiled and said, "It seems that Concubine Rong is happy to look at her mother, right?" ”
Concubine Rong showed a smug look on her face, and slightly bowed her head to indicate Cuilan behind her, Cuilan said loudly: "Our mother has been nauseous and pantothenic acid since a few days ago, sleepy and weak, the day before yesterday, please listen to the pulse of Dr. Wang of the Tai Hospital, and the doctor said that our mother has been pregnant for nearly two months. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, Lu Yuan remained silent, kept a smile on her face, looked up at the queen, saw that the queen was stunned at first, and then smiled imperceptibly, and still said with a pleasant face: "Concubine Rong's sister has been in the palace for ten years, and she has never given birth, and now she is pregnant, in fact, it is God's blessing, Concubine Rong, you have to take good care of it, and give birth to the imperial heir smoothly." ”
Concubine Rong half got up, her face was arrogant, and she nodded: "Concubine thank the queen for her care." ”
Everyone present came to their senses at this time, and they all congratulated Concubine Rong, and Lu Yuan also congratulated Concubine Rong with everyone.
The queen only sat high on the phoenix chair, looking at Concubine Rong from afar, with a leisurely and graceful smile on her face.
