Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Emperor and the Queen
Ma Sansi waited outside the hall for a long time before Murong Shen came out.
"Captain Murong," Ma Sansi still looked like he smiled when he saw someone.
Murong Shen has been in an extremely bad mood recently, and he is not in the mood to be close to an inner servant, so he nodded slightly, and then walked away.
Ma Sansi smiled on his face and snorted heavily in his heart.
went to the inner servant of the descendants of the roots, but in fact, the six roots were not quiet at all. This is a group of people with physical disabilities and a twisted heart closest to the imperial power, greedy for gold and silver, and chasing power. Whoever dares to show contempt and disdain to his face will be resented.
Ma Sansi and Murong Shen actually have no grievances, but they have been repeatedly ignored by Murong Shen, and they are very unhappy.
Ma Sansi quickly changed his smiling face, entered the hall, did not mention Murong Shen at all, and reported after saluting diligently: "Your Majesty, the servants have gone to the Internal Affairs Mansion, His Royal Highness the Prince's dress has been prepared, and the rest of the various utensils needed are also properly prepared." ”
Emperor Yongming was fat, and the dragon robe he wore was wider than that of the first emperor, because of his perennial indulgence in beauty, his body was very empty, his face was pale, and the fat on his face shook when he laughed: "Okay." You are good on an errand, and I will reward you. ”
Ma Sansi hurriedly smiled: "Being able to run errands for the emperor is a blessing for a slave." Being able to serve the emperor every day is the most abundant reward. ”
Ma Sansi's sycophant shot very smoothly.
Emperor Yongming's face was happy, and he was about to get up. Ma Sansi immediately stepped forward and grabbed Emperor Yongming's arm. Father-in-law Jiang on the side also stepped forward and held the other side.
Emperor Yongming was too obese and had a lot of trouble walking. Ma Sansi and Jiang Gonggong secretly exerted force, but they could not be superficial, lest the emperor lose his majesty.
"It's getting late, I don't know where the emperor is going for dinner?" Father-in-law Jiang asked diligently.
Ma Sansi smiled quietly and took over the conversation: "The slave dared to guess, the emperor must want to go to the Jiaofang Palace and have dinner with Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
Emperor Yongming, who originally wanted to go to the beauty to spend time, naturally changed his mind: "Go to the Jiaofang Palace!" ”
Father-in-law Jiang and Ma Sansi glanced at each other, and each snorted coldly in their hearts.
There are many attendants in the palace, and there are more than 1,000 large and small. There are very few people who can really get ahead. Both of them have served their masters since they were teenagers, and they have been fighting for 20 years, and neither of them obeys anyone.
Emperor Yongming arrived, and Empress Su and Prince Zhu Junyi greeted each other.
Empress Su is seven in her Chinese New Year's Eve this year, wearing a light blue palace dress, her skin is as white as snow, her eyebrows are beautiful, and her temperament is high. It looks like a double ten beauty.
Emperor Yongming loves all kinds of beauties, and he has never been tired of the beautiful Queen Su, so he immediately stretched out his hand to help Queen Su: "The queen gets up." ”
The fat palm landed on Queen Su's shoulder.
Empress Su's lowered eyes flashed a trace of disgust, and when she raised her head, she had a dignified and decent smile: "The concubine thanked the emperor." ”
Emperor Yongming helped up his sick son again: "Jun'er, how are you doing today?" ”
The crown prince replied with a smile: "Thank you father and emperor for your concern, Erchen only coughed three times today. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently again. This cough was like coughing out all the internal organs, and the thin body was trembling.
Emperor Yongming's face changed suddenly: "Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor!" ”
Empress Su squeezed the prince's hand hard, and her voice trembled: "Jun'er, sit down quickly." While patting the prince on the back, his eyes flashed with water.
The crown prince has been weak since birth, and he often fell ill when he was young, and Queen Su never pretended to be around, but took care of him at the sickbed. finally raised his son.
The prince is a congenital deficiency brought out of the womb, no matter how carefully he raises him, his body is also very weak. A spring breeze and spring rain can't help it. I get sick a few times a year. When it's cold, you will have a cough.
In the past two years, cough attacks have become more frequent. It's early summer, and I'm making the same old mistakes.
The prince coughed, and more than a dozen doctors in the hospital came, kneeling neatly.
Emperor Yongming said angrily: "See the prince immediately." If you can't cure the prince, I will take off your heads. ”
The doctors were sincerely terrified.
Empress Su held back her tears and softly comforted Emperor Yongming: "The emperor is angry." It was the concubines who didn't take good care of Jun'er, and the imperial doctors didn't have a reason. ”
Emperor Yongming finally rested his anger a little at Empress Su, who spoke warmly.
After the imperial doctors consulted, they applied needles and prescribed medicines, and when the hot medicine was fed into the prince's mouth, it was already half an hour later.
The prince drank the medicine, and the cough finally stopped, and he had no strength to speak, so he was supported by the inner attendant to rest.
Empress Su was so concerned about her son that she really didn't have the heart to deal with Emperor Yongming, so she said softly: "The concubine has to take care of Jun'er, and she has no time to serve the emperor." It's better to let Xiangqiao serve the emperor tonight! ”
Xiangqiao is the palace maid next to Queen Su, and she was born delicate and charming. Emperor Yongming has long been eyed. At this time, Empress Su took the initiative to open her mouth, and Emperor Yongming was moved and immediately agreed.
……
How Emperor Yongming took a magic medicine to favor a palace maid, and there is no need to elaborate.
Empress Su kept watch by the prince's bed all night.
The prince coughed from time to time and could not fall asleep. Until the fourth watch, I finally stopped coughing and fell asleep.
Queen Su stayed up for most of the night, and she didn't feel sleepy, so she sat silently and let her thoughts fly. I don't know what I remembered, and my eyes flashed with water.
The prince fell ill, and the Su family entered the palace the next day.
The Su family was originally a second-rate family in the capital, but there was a Queen Su, and the Su family also soared and became a new upstart in the capital.
Empress Su's father became the head of the Hanlin Academy, and several of Empress Su's brothers, either released or as officials in the capital, were all prominent and important positions.
The people who came to visit the palace today were Queen Su's mother and eldest sister-in-law.
Seeing that Queen Su's eyes were bloodshot and her face was pale, Mrs. Su regretted in her heart and said with tears: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sick, it is inevitable that the Queen Mother will be worried, don't be so bitter and hurt the phoenix body." ”
Mrs. Su Yu also covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and choked up: "Yes, Niangniang must take care of the phoenix body." Our Su family is thinking about Niangniang. ”
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Queen Su's eyes, and she waved her hand first, causing all the palace people to retreat, and then said lightly: "Don't cry all of you." The prince is fine, and the palace can hold on. At least 20 years of wealth can be guaranteed for the Su family. ”
Yu couldn't cry anymore, a little embarrassed.
Old Madam Su is Queen Su's mother-in-law, so she didn't have so many worries when she spoke, and opened her mouth to sigh: "Duyun, what happened back then, our Su family is really ashamed of you." ”
"If you want to blame, blame your father for having soft bones, blame me for being useless and unable to protect you."
"But you have to understand our struggles. It's not that we want to sell our daughters for wealth, it's really the imperial power, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't marry you, what can we do? ”
