Chapter 38: Russell (15)
After that, his father said again, "Su'er, what kind of family background the Murong family is, you don't know!" Do you think the Queen Mother and the Emperor want her to enter the palace because they really like her?
In the final analysis, it's just that he wants to win over the General's Mansion and contain the General's Mansion at the same time! General Murong loves Yuqing so much, how could he let Yuqing enter the palace! β
I saw that my father reacted violently, so I had to hang my head and admit my mistake, saying that I had overthought it.
When my father heard this, he finally relieved himself.
In the end, he just waved his hand and went back to the study.
And I, after all, didn't go to the General's Mansion. The jar of wine is still sitting there alone.
β¦β¦
Although his father strongly believed that the General's Mansion did not intend to send Yuqing into the palace. But because it was concealed by the General's Mansion, I was somewhat prejudiced against Yuqing.
It wasn't until later that I found out that she had no grace since she entered the palace. Only then did I feel sorry for her.
It's just that......
I've never been to see her.
First, I didn't know that my sister was reconciled in the middle, and I didn't know what to say to her. Second, I am not responsible for the little master of Chengqian Palace, and I can't find a reason to ask her to take the pulse.
And she, thinking about it, didn't know that I had entered the palace to serve.
It wasn't until later that feng shui took turns.
Yuqing suddenly got favor and became a rising star. Accompanying the king has also become commonplace.
Once, I went to ask my sister for a pulse. When passing by the Imperial Garden, I happened to meet her and the emperor playing chess in the pavilion.
Because he saw the monarch, he was not allowed to take a detour. So, I had no choice but to respectfully go and say goodbye.
This......
It was the first time I met Yuqing after three years of separation.
Sadly, however, I could not speak to her alone for a few words of surprise and confusion in her eyes.
Later, I struggled with whether to inform my sister Zhihua of the news of Yuqing's entry into the palace.
However, before I could make up my mind, Yuqing lost her position and was confined to the Chengqian Palace.
Listening to the rumors in the harem, it was Yuqing who relied on himself to gain some favor, so he privately made phoenix clothes and called himself the queen's mother, which made Long Yan angry.
Scold......
The tricks in this harem are really getting more and more clumsy.
I dare to vouch for my head, with Yuqing's character, she must be disdainful of such a thing as privately making phoenix clothes.
However, I believe that she is useless after all. It's like I believe in my sister who knows how to draw, but I can't do anything about it.
Immediately afterward, disaster does not go alone.
During the period when Yuqing was still grounded, the maid who had accompanied her for many years was waiting for the book, but she climbed onto the dragon couch and betrayed her master and became the emperor's woman.
Although I don't know what Yuqing's situation is now, in the final analysis, the matter of waiting for the book has definitely hit her hard. Because of this, I finally made up my mind to hide the fact that Yuqing entered the palace.
It's just that this concealment didn't last long.
Only two months later, my father made meritorious contributions to the court. The emperor himself opened his mouth and asked his father what grace he wanted. His father kowtowed to the emperor three times in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, saying that he was old and only hoped to serve the court more when he could still move. I also hope that I can see the safety and happiness of my children.
What kind of person is the emperor, how can he not know his father's thoughts. So, he put down the court, took the grounding of Zhihua's sister, and ordered someone to take Zhihua's sister back from the cold palace.
When I heard the news, I was overjoyed. Hurriedly ran to Lin Po's place and bought a favorite food called flower chicken that my sister used to love. Then he secretly hid it in the medicine box and sent it to her.
I look at today's sister Zhihua, who has long lost her former style. A face is dry and sallow, without the slightest ruddy color. He was weak and emaciated. When you talk to me, you cough a few times from time to time.
So, I couldn't help but worry, "You were grounded when you had a miscarriage, and now your body is really weak." Now that it's out, you have to take care of it. You're still young, don't fall into the root of the disease. β
But who knows, she just answered me lightly, and was about to send me to Furong Xuan to check Yuqing's pulse.
I had already thought that since she had already left the cold palace, she would know about Yuqing's entry into the palace sooner or later. But I didn't expect her to go to Furong Xuan so soon. I didn't expect that she would let me get into danger and secretly take care of Yuqing.
It's not that I don't want to take risks for Sister Zhihua and Yuqing, it's just that at this time, I don't want Sister Zhihua to be involved in anything.
So, I was ruthless and said coldly, "The troublemaker will just cause trouble outside the palace, and now it will cause trouble in the palace." Save her? I wish she had never existed. In this way, everyone has a more peaceful life. β
After that, he even persuaded him bitterly, "Painting, you listen to me." Although you grew up with her, it's best to cut off contact after you can. Whether she is glorious and rich, miserable and desolate, it has nothing to do with us, you don't have to be stupid for her. β
However, Sister Zhihua is very stubborn in her bones, where is she willing to listen to me?
Not only did she not understand my hard conscience, but she threatened me with words, saying that if I didn't help her, she would use her gold and silver to ask other doctors for help!
As soon as I heard it, this is still worth it?
The people in the palace have always seen the wind and steer, although there are many people who are greedy for money, but none of them have a mouth that is rigorous. If she must take risks for Yuqing, it is better for me to fulfill her.
β¦β¦
On the day I went to see Yuqing, I dressed myself up as a eunuch. I thought that Yuqing would be moved to tears when she saw me spending a lot of effort to sneak into Furong Xuan to check her pulse.
But who knows, not only did she not say a word, but she also raised a wrinkled face, and was very curious and fresh about my outfit.
"Little girl, what do you want?" I was stunned, and my face suddenly collapsed.
"I didn't ...... I didn't ......" Yuqing saw that I looked embarrassed, and hurriedly put on a dog-legged smile, and said, "Luo...... Brother Russell...... I was just thinking you look good in this. β
The words seem to be flattering, but how can I listen to the irony so deep?
"Mu! Appearance! Bring up! High officer! If it weren't for the painting, let me take the pulse for you, would I have to wear this / eunuch / human clothes to suffer here! β
I gritted my teeth.
"Huh...... Hehe......" Yuqing stiffened her face and smiled at me, "Brother Russell, I'...... I didn't mean that......"
"Don't call my brother! I've known you for so many years, and I don't know how many pounds and taels you have? Don't worry, I won't kill you just because I don't deal with you. β
I thought that this girl had been wandering outside for two years and would grow up. I didn't expect it to be so lacking in heart.
Oh, she deserves to suffer this sin!
Thinking about it, I was very annoyed. He glared at her and complained about her.
Complaining that she is gone and coming, complaining that she is a follower, complaining that she is a troublemaker. In short, in the eyes of others, she is a rare treasure. But in my eyes, she is not good at anything!
But who knows, although this girl didn't dare to talk back to me, she snorted at me twice.
Seeing this, I was anxious, so I knocked on her head, "Huh, what?" I sneaked up to you to see the disease, saying that you can't do it anymore? Hum...... This temper really hasn't changed. β
After that, I gave her another blank look, "Stretch out your hand!" Look at your bad face? It's as ugly as a pig. β
This time, she didn't fight me again. Instead, she obediently stretched out her hand and waited for me to take her pulse.
After all, it was a love affair that grew up together, and I felt some pity for her situation at this time. So I calmed down and carefully diagnosed her.
However, my fingers caught her pulse, and my body trembled.
It's a happy pulse!
Yuqing she ...... I'm pregnant!
I withdrew my hand and looked around. It wasn't until I was sure that there was no one around, and then I said, "Congratulations." β
I don't know how much meaning this sentence contains.
Zhihua's sister is worried about her, and if she knows that she is pregnant, I don't know how happy she should be.
It's just that with pregnancy, is it really time to run? Wouldn't it be the beginning of another catastrophe?
β¦β¦
The eighth day of the fifth month is the birthday of the Queen Mother.
The emperor wants to set up a banquet for the Queen Mother in the Taihe Palace, so the Queen Mother will return to the palace from Mount Emei a few days in advance.
The Queen Mother is kind-hearted and dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, and she is the most unbloody and bitter in this life. So the emperor ordered that Yuqing's grounding be temporarily lifted, and let her go to meet her with others on the day the queen mother returned to the palace.
It was this lifting of the ban that finally changed Yuqing's situation.
On the day of welcoming the Queen Mother back to the palace, I don't know if there was really an accident or because of other reasons. Yuqing fell for no reason and almost injured the fetus in her womb.
Also because of this accident, Yuqing attracted the attention of the Queen Mother. Not only was he promoted with his sister Zhihua, but he also pulled down the beautiful sound and the book.
When I lamented the impermanence of the world, I couldn't help but sweat.
First, I hope that this is really an accident, and pray that Yuqing can retain her innocence as usual after entering the palace.
Second, selfish extravagant hopes, all this is just Yuqing's strategy. After all, the Forbidden City has always been a place of blood. The more she grows, the higher she can climb. The higher she climbs, the more she can take care of each other with her sister Zhihua. With someone to take care of each other, the rest of each other's lives can be safe.
β¦β¦
After Yuqing became pregnant and the emperor knew about it, her grace became deeper and deeper day by day. As Concubine Shuniang continued to lose power, and Concubine Hua was by her side, Yuqing's limelight was unrivaled for a while. Even the status of Zhihua's sister in the palace has also been improved.
I saw that the two sisters were supporting each other in the palace, and no one could help them for the time being, and my heart finally stopped worrying.
It's just that the emperor specially ordered me to take care of Yuqing's fetus. So, I inevitably put a little more thought into it.
It's just that I finally managed to catch my breath for a few days. Zhihua's sister was at the head of the painting, but there was an incident again.
Yusheng ...... He returned to Beijing.
Not only that, but he also brought back his fiancΓ©e, the princess of a small border country.
Although I couldn't be by my sister's side day and night, I could imagine how painful she would be when she learned the news.
Perhaps, she will wash her face with tears. Perhaps, she will not be able to sleep at night. Perhaps, she will be unwilling.
And I, while worrying about whether my sister will be able to survive the demons. What's even more worried is whether someone will make a fuss about her and Yusheng.
β¦β¦
Sure enough, my fears were not unfounded.
At Yu Sheng's reception banquet, the book that had a heart-to-heart relationship with us actually sued Yu Sheng and Sister Zhihua in front of everyone. said that they were in the drunken wind pavilion next to the Taihe Palace. And Yuqing, who saw all this with her own eyes, chose to cover it up.
Fortunately, Yuqing was excited, and she had already seen through the pregnancy problem of waiting for the book. In an extremely urgent situation, I asked the emperor to let me take the pulse of the book. This temporarily resolved the crisis.
Once took the handkerchief I gave me, I could be happy for half a year, but after all, the emperor broke his neck because of false pregnancy. The matter between Zhihua's sister and Yu Sheng was also blamed on the nonsense that the book was talking nonsense in order to frame Yu Qing.
When I was trembling with fright, I was also glad that in the emperor's heart, Yuqing's position was much heavier than that of waiting for books. Otherwise, today's affairs will definitely not be so easily confused.
I know......
Everything that is said in the book is true.
Even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I still believe in the book.
Because it is a fact that Yusheng and Zhihua's sister love each other, it is also a fact that they were forced to separate. And waiting for the book, no matter how much he resents Yuqing, he definitely doesn't dare to lie.
β¦β¦
After Yusheng came back, I was scared all day long, and I often couldn't sleep at night. I'm afraid that Yu Sheng or Zhihua's sister will have a muddy brain and cause a heinous crime.
Fortunately, except for me, Yuqing was also in a hurry. In order to completely cut off the idea of Yu Sheng and Zhihua's sister, Yu Qing personally went to the emperor and asked the emperor to marry Yu Sheng.
On the day of Yusheng's wedding, he was so angry.
The emperor not only accompanied the pregnant Yuqing to preside over Yuqing's wedding, but even the officials of the court and the central government also arrived with rich congratulatory gifts. Even Prime Minister Duan, who had always been at odds with the Murong family, took his son to go in person.
I listened to the joyful sound and looked at the red in the courtyard, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. If the Murong family and the Luo family could have acted earlier, it would have been earlier. This prosperous wedding banquet belongs to Yu Sheng and Zhihua's sister.
Can......
There are no ifs in life.
Zhihua's sister has entered the palace as a concubine, and Yusheng is now married to a wife. They will have a new life for each other, and they will never cross paths again in this life.
Although I feel sorry for my sister, I know better than anyone that as long as she survives this hurdle. In the future, there will be no hurdles that she can't overcome.
β¦β¦
For a long time after Yusheng's wedding, I didn't dare to go to ask my sister for a pulse. I'm afraid that when she meets me, she will ask me about the scene of the wedding.
I'm afraid she'll be upset if I lie. I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, I won't be able to bear it. So, I didn't go to see her at all. First, I don't embarrass her, and second, I don't embarrass me.
I just want the days to go by faster, so that time, a good medicine, can heal the wounds of my sister as soon as possible. Thinking about it, let Yuqing and Sister Zhihua gain a firm foothold in the palace as soon as possible, so that the capital can be completed without separation.
