Chapter 191 The flowers float and the water flows freely
"Imperial grandmother......" Xie Shuangge's tears swirled in her eyes, she held the hand stretched out by the Queen Mother, choked up and asked, "Wasn't it okay before?" Why did you faint all of a sudden? β
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?"
The Queen Mother held her hand and turned her face to look at her lovingly, "It's not a big deal, people are old, and it's common to have a disease, The imperial doctor said that it was dry in autumn, and it was on fire, and the mourning family had a headache, and they were piled together, and they fainted, and the imperial doctor just gave the needle, and now it's much better, don't worry." β
Xie Shuangge couldn't rest assured, the number of times the Queen Mother was sick has increased significantly in the past six months, she used to be fooled, but now she can't, she has a faint premonition, so seeing that the Queen Mother is still comforting her, she feels more and more uncomfortable.
But she couldn't show it at this time, so as not to worry the Queen Mother with herself.
She pursed her lips, trying her best to look more relaxed, "Well, it's okay, but I was scared of Jianing, and I ran back as soon as I was halfway there, and my legs were sore." β
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this: "Really? Go back and let people carry the sedan chair, how can you be tired of Jianing, who mourns the family? β
Xie Shuangge smiled and lay beside her, "Grandmother Huang is fine, I won't be tired anywhere." β
The Queen Mother raised her hand and stroked the top of her hair.
"Mother, are you awake?" The sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside the hall, Xie Shuangge turned his head to look over, the emperor and queen, Mei Guifei, Xianfei, and Wu Meiren were all here.
"Jianing is also there." The Emperor paused, slowing down a bit.
Xie Shuangge sniffed and saluted: "Jianing has seen my uncle." β
"No courtesy, no courtesy." The emperor walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and asked with concern, "Is the queen mother feeling better?" β
"Much better, don't worry." The Queen Mother raised her eyes to take a look, and when she saw that everyone had arrived, her face was slightly serious, and she returned to the dignified and indifferent appearance of the Queen Mother in front of outsiders.
"Your Majesty can rest assured that the queen mother is fine, as soon as she heard that the queen mother had an accident, Your Majesty rushed over halfway through the fold, and almost tripped on the road." Concubine Mei glanced at the emperor.
The emperor rubbed the jade pendant on his waist uncomfortably, "Don't talk about it." β
Concubine Mei smiled: "It's the concubine who is too talkative." β
The Queen Mother glanced at her, didn't speak, and looked at the Queen and Wu Meiren beside her, Concubine Xian stood a little far, she never moved forward much, and the Queen Mother didn't care.
The queen looked at her, worried about the natural expression, as if she hadn't noticed the "flirting" between the emperor and Concubine Mei.
The Queen Mother sighed helplessly, she was really angry, this child was filial to her, but she was really unenlightened about the affairs of men and women, she obviously liked the emperor, but she didn't know how to please the emperor, and she was pressed by Concubine Mei everywhere.
is still like this in front of himself, and I don't know how many dumb losses I have to suffer behind my back.
She beckoned to the queen: "Queen, help the mourning family up." β
Xie Shuangge saw it clearly on the side, rolled his eyes, understood what the Queen Mother meant, and retreated to the side without a trace.
When the emperor saw the queen coming, he subconsciously got up to get out of the way, and the queen mother took the queen's hand and asked the queen to sit down next to the bed, next to the emperor.
The Emperor paused, but did not move again.
Mei Guifei: "......"
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and the smile on her face remained unchanged.
"It's okay to mourn the family, don't run over and make a fuss as soon as there is a little trouble."
The Queen Mother took the queen's hand and looked at Xie Shuangge again, "Jianing can come alone." β
The queen looked at Xie Shuangge and smiled gently, "Jianing is the heart of the queen mother, and we can't compare." β
"Who said that?" The Queen Mother glared at her with a smile: "You let the prince marry early, and the mourning family is still waiting to hold the great-grandson." β
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Mei immediately looked at the emperor, and the emperor was silent for a while, and said: "The prince has indeed reached the age when he should start a family, and the second child is similar to the prince, so he has to be prepared." β
Speaking of this, he paused, "By the way, and Jianing." β
Xie Shuangge: "......"
Sure enough, the fire still burned on himself.
Everyone looked at her, and Concubine Mei said, "Princess Jianing should really find a good horse, and she can't delay it any longer." β
Concubine Xian bowed: "Good horse, isn't there one in front of you?" β
Xie Shuangge's face was slightly red, "Why did you talk about me again, didn't you come to see the imperial grandmother?" β
She glanced at the Queen Mother, pretended to be shy and said, "There are many people here at the imperial grandmother, Jianing will retire first, and I will come to see you later." β
She owed to the emperor and the empress, turned around and "fled".
The emperor laughed: "Shy." β
Everyone laughed, but the Queen Mother did not have much fluctuation on her face.
β¦β¦
Xie Shuangge did not leave the palace immediately after leaving the queen mother's bedroom, but walked aimlessly along the palace road with Qingtao to the imperial garden.
At this time, it was getting late, the twilight was in the four fields, and the imperial garden was deserted, Qingtao couldn't help but persuade: "Princess, let's go home, right?" β
Xie Shuangge shook his head: "You wait for me here, I want to walk alone." β
ββ¦β¦ Be. Qingtao saw that Xie Shuangge was not very interested, so she didn't persuade her again, and watched her go away.
Xie Shuangge walked along the cobblestone path, his heart in a mess.
The imperial grandmother seems to be nothing now, but she knows in her heart that if she really can't hold on, the imperial grandmother will not urge her to get married.
Before she said to the imperial grandmother that she wanted to marry Shen Hanyu, she also advised herself to think twice, she was not in a hurry to get married, she could take a look at it and talk about it.
But a few days ago, she began to persuade herself to get married, and today she fainted, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good sign.
According to the rules of Dayan, the queen mother collapsed, and the emperor only needed to keep filial piety for 27 days because he wanted to manage the government, and the harem concubines and concubines, regardless of their dignity, were all for one year.
The princes and princesses are required to observe filial piety for 27 months, which can be reduced as appropriate in case of special circumstances.
If Xie Shuangge didn't get married before the collapse of the Queen Mother, she would have to keep filial piety for twenty-seven months, she was twenty years old at that time, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that if there is a problem in the middle of the prince's struggle for power, it is still unknown who she can marry in the end, and it is difficult to say whether she can get shelter.
Therefore, the best and safest way is to get married before the collapse of the Queen Mother, and settle everything, and the Queen Mother will definitely give her a great deal of scenery when she is alive, and arrange all the back roads.
This is the Queen Mother's thoughts, and Xie Shuangge now completely understands. She looked at the withering flowers in the garden, and her heart sank.
Suddenly, the tip of her nose was cold, Xie Shuangge touched it suspiciously, and when she touched a little water, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, and when she looked up, a drop of rain fell into her eyes.
The white figure came from the flowers and willows, and Xie Shuangge's sight suddenly saw an oil-paper umbrella painted with plum blossoms.
ββDigressionββ
Ancient Confucianism had a rule of 27 months of filial piety, because it took 27 months for a mother to breastfeed her child, so this rule was used here and some changes were made.
