The Surgeon's Guide to Survival in the Royal Palace, Section 184
This first acupuncture took fifteen consecutive days, which is already halfway through.
Ning Qi was not at ease, but he also knew that it was useless to accompany him like this, and he was worried that he was reluctant to cough:
"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first, and if it's uncomfortable at night, someone will call me."
Ning Qi was lying on the comfortable couch that was arranged next door, and there was suddenly one less person beside him, but he couldn't sleep for a while, but he still closed his eyes, and came out, he had to rest well, otherwise he would be blind to Yan Yunzhou's mind.
Thinking about it, the fatigue came up after all, and he finally fell asleep, and he didn't wake up this night, and when he woke up until dawn, the fatigue on his body had been swept away, and he opened his eyes and turned over directly to get out of bed, and saw the small guy who was changing shifts and keeping vigil outside.
He stepped forward, pointed inside, and asked softly:
"How was last night? What time did the prince sleep? ”
"It should be after the hour, and there will be no coughing and wheezing in the house."
Ning Yi washed well, listened to the inside, did not dare to go in, the man rarely had a good sleep, he was afraid of waking him up, turned around and went to the kitchen, when he came back, the door of the main house had been opened, thinking that someone had woken up, so he went in.
The little guy in the house was serving Yan Yunzhou to freshen up, seeing him coming, Yan Yunzhou's eyebrows and eyes bent, and he looked at Ning Qi's complexion, the green shadow under him was much better, and he felt a little more comfortable looking at him, Ning Qi sat directly beside the person and hugged his waist:
"Is it okay to sleep without me?"
Yan Yunzhou smiled even more:
"Don't dare to be good, it's better for you."
"Hmph, the prince is quite good at talking now, hold on for four more days, and I'll move back."
Before Yan Yunzhou's treatment was over, this remote courtyard became lively, it was the holy decree in the palace that arrived, and it was Zhang Gonggong, the most faceful person next to Li Yan, who passed the decree, and Zhang Gonggong hurriedly prevented Yan Yunzhou from wanting to get up:
"The prince rests, Your Majesty specially said that the prince does not have to be formal."
This holy decree is decent, all of them are some rewards, mostly some precious medicinal materials, as well as the tribute tea newly arrived in the palace in the south, and some silk and jade, at first glance it looks like the emperor rewarding his courtiers, but after Zhang Gonggong finished reading the holy decree, he smiled and took out a thick pile of letter paper from his chest.
"Your Majesty specially ordered the servants to personally deliver this letter to the hands of the prince and the marquis, and His Majesty also said that the prince and the marquis should not be stingy with pen and ink, and reply more letters."
Ning Qi and Yan Yunzhou glanced at each other, and had a guess in their hearts about the thick pile of letters, Zhang Gonggong took people back to restore his life, Ning Ji turned the envelope in his hand, and the gossip factor engraved in human DNA began to move:
"Don't say it, it's heavy, guess what's going to be said in it?"
Yan Yunzhou looked up at his expression to know what he was thinking, and said a little funny:
"Your Majesty specially sent credit in such a way, what else can you write? Most of the time it was because there was progress in the matter of leaving Luo Yue. ”
Ning Yi leaned over to him and sat down:
"I think so, so what are you waiting for? Hurry up and watch together. ”
Sure enough, the stationery inside was full of words, and you can imagine how rich the content is.
Ten days ago, Li Yan finally mustered up the courage to go to the Empress Dowager Su to ask for peace when he put his thoughts and thoughts out, Su Qingyan returned to the palace and will live in Cikang Palace, Li Yan has not yet been established, the harem is not a concubine, Li Qi's harem that was full of Dengdeng, after Li Qi gave way, was also sent by Su Qingyan to pray for the blessing of the Liang to practice, counting this huge palace, except for a few concubines, there are only the two of them.
Therefore, as long as Li Yan is not busy, he will continue to ask for peace, and Su Qingyan is not a person who is obsessed with false etiquette, so he is exempted from getting up in the morning to ask for peace, but like ordinary people's mothers and sons, they are used together at dinner, less indifferent to the heavenly family, and more than two points of the warmth of ordinary people's homes.
Li Yan took a deep breath when he entered the Cikang Palace that night, and Su Qingyan was already waiting for him:
"Greetings to the Queen Mother."
The woman in palace clothes on the throne smiled and raised her hand:
"Come and take a seat, there are ice soup lily balls to cool off today, I'll let the small kitchen make it, and I'll taste it later."
Su Qingyan also watched Li Yan grow up, and intuitively felt that there was something wrong with today's children, and when she looked at the restlessness, she asked:
"But what's the trouble?"
Li Yan put down his chopsticks and arched his hand:
"Let's eat first, and then talk about it."
He was afraid that he would not be able to eat anything after he said Su Qingyan, which made Su Qingyan a little curious, what is the matter, he has to wait until he finishes eating?
After dinner, the palace people served tea, Su Qingyan looked at Li Yan, who took a few deep breaths, and laughed:
"Okay, can you talk about it now?"
Li Yan dismissed all the palace people in the house, and ordered no one to lean in within three meters of the palace room, he got up directly and knelt straight in front of Su Qingyan, raising his hands above his head is a big bow:
"The queen mother, what the son said violates the etiquette law, but the words are sincere, the son is happy that the teacher Luo Yue has been away for a long time, not the joy of the teacher and friend, but the joy of the beloved, although the teacher failed to accept my heart, but the son also thought about it, even if he can't get Luo Yue to accompany him in this life, the son will not stand up, let alone set up a harem.
Erchen knows that this is an unfilial act, and Erchen is willing to devote his efforts to the Great Liang River, and he hopes that the queen mother will fulfill the selfishness of Erchen. ”
The voice fell into his hand, Li Yan closed his eyes, as if waiting for the final judgment, there was silence in the room, Su Qingyan only got up after a long time, and there was no too shocked look on her face, as if she had expected it, she pulled up the person who was kneeling on the ground:
"Get up and talk."
Li Yan raised his head and met Su Qingyan's somewhat helpless but not shocked gaze:
"Queen Mother...?"
Su Qingyan sat down, and a pair of smoke-like willow eyebrows were slightly raised:
"What am I? How come I wasn't scared to death by you? ”
Li Yanli was a little at a loss for the first time on the spot, Su Qingyan picked up the tea cup on the side, and raised his eyes to look at the young emperor who was already becoming more and more powerful:
"The year you first ascended the throne, you used various ways to push the folds of the establishment and the draft, you have been out for so many years, but every letter will mention Luo Yueli, people's eyes can't deceive people, from the several palace banquets after you ascended the throne, I guessed that you may have this intention, but I really didn't expect that you would say it so bluntly, and never stand up."
Since ancient times, there have been some relationships between emperors and courtiers that transcend substance, otherwise how did the name of the favored minister come about? Su Qingyan really guessed Li Yan's thoughts, Li Yan didn't mention this kind of thing, she naturally turned a blind eye, as long as she didn't make a big trouble, she didn't want to care, but she didn't expect Li Yan to vacate the harem.
"Queen Mother, I have thought about it, this year's New Year, I will order the clan to go to the capital, the children of the three emperor brothers are also the grandchildren of the emperor, I choose a qualified one, pass through the palace, personally raise it, and I will make a difference in the future."
When he ascended the throne, he named the royal brother who was originally the king of the county as the prince of Shun, and the first emperor's son was thin, and now only he and this imperial brother are left.
Su Qingyan looked at him and knew that he had thought about everything:
"You're all set, just waiting for me to nod, right? That's it, you can't force it because of fate, you can ask for guilt after your father stays there for a hundred years, as for what kind of result you and Luo Yueli can get in the end, it's up to you, but since you have chosen this path, you should know that this is not beneficial to the reputation of the two of you, and the history books will definitely record this in the future, if you think it clearly, the queen mother will not say much. ”
That night, Su Qingyan changed her clothes, put an incense case, and sent the palace people to the inner room alone, and the portraits of the first emperor were hung on the walls of the inner room, she lit the incense, and sat quietly in front of the painting alone, staring at the familiar face:
"Did you hear what your son was out there just now?"
"Although Yan'er is not very old, but the style of action is very similar to you back then, the court is not weak at all, in three years, the beam is much stronger than before, Yan'er does not need to consolidate the court through the harem, it is not easy to get a person who has to stay by his side no matter what, I have no objection to him, if you don't agree, wait for your son to personally make amends to you in the future."
After speaking, Su Qingyan smiled:
"However, I don't think you should disagree, although Luo Yueli is a man, his talent and appearance are first-class, I have already seen it for you, I think Yan'er is just crossing the road with me today, how to come to the future depends on himself, I hope he can finally hold the beauty."
After reading the letter, Ning Qi and Yan Yunzhou glanced at each other again, and Ning Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva:
"Did he really go to a showdown with the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother still agreed? ”
Speaking of which, he has never seen this legendary Empress Dowager Su, what about the feudalism of the ancients? This is going so well? Is this reasonable?
Yan Yunzhou looked at him a little funny, didn't he still come up with this bad idea:
"Why didn't you think that the Queen Mother would agree when you gave your Majesty an idea?"
Ning Ji touched his nose:
"Didn't I drink too much?"
If he usually wouldn't have come up with this idea, Yan Yunzhou spoke:
"Empress Dowager Su is not an ordinary woman, and besides, she has a very strong relationship with the first emperor, if she sees His Majesty's sincerity, she may not really object, see what Your Majesty says later?"
The back of this letter is not as smooth as the previous one, Li Yan often goes to Luoyue to report there, it was still good, but after Li Yan bluntly said that he had already told the Queen Mother, the door of Luofu was closed, and in the end of this letter, Yan Yunzhou and Ning Zhi were asked to give him advice.
Ning Yi put down the letter and was a little speechless:
"Is this treating us both as consultants? His Majesty is also brave enough, Luo Yueli didn't know what he was thinking, so he told people that he was already a parent. ”
Yan Yunzhou coughed and laughed:
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Luo Yueli has a heavy heart, Your Majesty still has a long way to go."
Ning Ji shook the letter:
"Did you write this letter or did I write it?"
Yan Yunzhou smiled a little teasingly:
"I'll do it."
Ning Ji looked at him and knew that he disliked his words, and wanted him to study hard for more than ten years, but he couldn't compare to a fallen talent here:
"Can you? Isn't your body uncomfortable at this time? ”
"It doesn't affect the writing, I'm tired of the Hou Ye serving the pen and paper."
Ning Qi was speechless, but he still moved over the small table, took the pen and paper, and the words fell on the paper, Ning Ji looked at the man and put down the pen, this period of tossing made Yan Yunzhou lose a lot of weight, although it was difficult to hide his sickness, but he added two points of Qingjun, if Yan Yunzhou was not born in the palace, but was born in an ordinary official family, he could also be a good son of the turbid world, right?
Yan Yunzhou put down his pen and saw that Ning Ji was still there watching him grind in a daze, and he couldn't help shaking his hand:
"I know I'm good-looking, but Master Hou doesn't have to look at it like this all the time, right?"
Rather take the blame, put down the grinding ingot at the moment:
"You can really put gold on your face."
He took the letter written by Yan Yunzhou, which wrote about their recent situation, and also came up with some methods:
"You let Your Majesty grind hard bubbles?"
Is this a good idea? Yan Yunzhou leaned back on the pillow and spread his hands slightly:
"Or else? Luo Yueli actually knows everything in his heart, a seven-trick exquisite heart, he loves Your Majesty again, if they are together, the government and the opposition, and even the history books, how will Your Majesty think and write? Only when he realizes that His Majesty will not change his mind, and the matter has come to this point, will he really make this relationship official.
His Majesty's letter mentioned that all the clans would be summoned to Beijing at the end of this year, thinking that he intended to pass the family of the clan, and at that time, Luo Yueli was afraid that he would really believe that His Majesty had no way back for himself. ”
Ning Qi was silent for a while, and finally nodded, soaking mushrooms is not a bad idea.
"If Your Majesty is a step, it should also be the child of Prince Jishun, right?"
Ning Qi heard that this disabled county king was promoted to prince by His Majesty, and now the heirs of the former emperor are only him and Prince Shun, and it is impossible to succeed a side clan.
Yan Yunzhou nodded:
"There is a high probability, it is not a trivial matter to pass the step-family family, the requirements of the family must be divided and self-controlled, Prince Shun has a soft temperament, and he is disabled, he has been away from the center of power for so many years, his son will not give birth to too many incidents in the step-palace, His Majesty is still young, and at this time, he will pass the step-son, that is, he has made up his mind not to have a harem, and this New Year is afraid that it will be lively."
Ning Ji can imagine the fierce scene in the court at that time:
"At that time, we should also go back to Beijing, so you have to fight for some energy and take good care of your body."
There are still three days before the treatment of this course of treatment is over, Yan Yunzhou's cough is still not much better, but the soreness around his body has been relieved a little, and he rarely slept for more than an hour in the afternoon, and feels better:
"Yu'an, I want to go to the yard to sit, the house feels stuffy."
