Chapter 41. Gentle
At night, there was a burst of baby crying in the Qingliang Palace, and Concubine Hua was already in a bad mood, and she was even more upset by crying at this time.
"This child cries day and night, how can this palace still sleep!" Concubine Hua came out of the dormitory angrily, and Song Zhi knelt down with a hazy sleepiness to calm her anger. She took a deep breath, "Go and call the nurse, this palace wants to see how they coax the princess." ”
Song Zhi suddenly fell asleep, nodded again and again, got up and ran out.
Not long after, the nurse walked in with Wen Yi in her arms, only to see Wen Yi crying breathlessly, and her whole face was red.
On weekdays, Cao Guiren regards Wen Yi as more important than his own life, and she has to coax her personally every night so that Wen Yi can fall asleep. Wen Yi had just turned one year old, and it was the time when she was attached to her mother, the familiar embrace was gone, she instinctively felt scared and uneasy, and no matter how the nurse coaxed, it was useless.
But where did Concubine Hua care about this, she only cared about herself being disturbed to sleep, and asked in a cold voice: "How did you two bring the princess?" The princess cries like this every night, and the palace can't sleep peacefully. ”
The nurse was sweating profusely, and carefully fought for Wen Yi: "The slave has tried her best to coax, maybe the princess has left her biological mother and changed the palace, and she is not yet adaptable, so she disturbs the mother's sleep." ”
"Is it really useless to try everything?" Concubine Hua couldn't see the nurse's thoughts, her tone suddenly sank, she raised her eyes lazily and hugged Wen Yi into her arms, and coaxed patiently, "This child is really difficult to coax." ”
Concubine Hua's fragrance is too heavy, it is extremely nasal for children, and Concubine Hua's patience is not the original intention, Wen Yi is a child, but she is particularly sensitive to this kind of good and evil, and suddenly cries even more fiercely.
"Song Zhi, bring the tranquilizer prescribed by the imperial doctor to the palace, and then bring a bowl of warm water." Concubine Hua ordered Song Zhi with a cold face.
No matter how loyal Songzhi was to Concubine Hua, she was stunned for a moment at this time, and the two nurses were even more silent, daring to be angry and not daring to speak.
Concubine Hua urged and urged, and Song Zhi hurriedly brought the medicine to her in a hurry: "Wen Yi, take a sip." ”
The medicine was fed spoonful by spoonful, and even though Wen Yi struggled to vomit a lot, he still ate it in the end, and his crying was much weaker.
Seeing her own big baby being treated like this, the nurse couldn't bear it, and forcibly resisted her fear against Concubine Hua: "Niangniang, the princess is young, I'm afraid I can't take that medicine." ”
"This palace can eat, why can't she eat." Concubine Hua seemed to be very satisfied with the method she had come up with, and fed most of the bowl of medicine, Wen Yi only had the strength to sob, and she looked at the nurse fiercely, "If you dare to say half a word, this palace will take your head." ”
"The slave knows."
"In the future, if the princess makes trouble again, she will use this method." Concubine Hua yawned, got up and went back to the dormitory.
The nurse's heart trembled, and she stepped forward to hug Wen Yi out.
The picture pavilion and the Qingliang Hall are in the same bamboo courtyard, only one or two miles apart, Cao Guiren left Wen Yi, and could not sleep peacefully all night, standing in the courtyard and listening carefully, Wen Yi cried, and her heart twitched.
I thought that Concubine Hua would not be able to bear Wen Yi's crying like this, so she might have asked her to carry Wen Yi back in the middle of the night.
As a result, in the second half of the night, Wen Yi's cry slowly weakened, and Cao Guiren had not received the summons from Concubine Hua, and his heart suddenly sank a little. She didn't know what was going on, but her intuition as a mother told her that Wen Yiding was not sleeping well.
Mother and daughter are connected, and Cao Guiren is distressed.
Yin Sleeve kept persuading her to be relieved, but where could Cao Guiren listen.
The next day, An Lingrong came to Zhen Huan: "Sister, did you hear the movement over there in Qingliang Hall last night?" ”
"Did you hear that, too?" Zhen Huan was a little surprised, and when she saw An Lingrong nodding, she couldn't help but sigh, "Xinghua Village can be heard so far away, I'm afraid that the palace will hear it, Wen Yi cried so much that I was heartbroken, fortunately, I was coaxed in the middle of the night, and I really loved Concubine Hua when I wanted to come." ”
An Lingrong frowned and shook his head: "It's actually normal for children to make trouble at night, but I always feel that something is wrong. ”
Zhen Huan smiled: "Look at what you said, it's like you were born." ”
"There are many aunts and sisters in the family, and there are many younger brothers and sisters, so I know more than my sister." An Lingrong didn't shy away from it, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about this, it's always Concubine Hua's own trouble, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Zhen Huan laughed with her, and suddenly someone came in and replied: "Little master, the Internal Affairs Office sent a snail Dai, saying that it was rewarded by the emperor." ”
"Well, let's go inside and put it down." Zhen Huan nodded lightly at her, and then saw An Lingrong looking at her in surprise, and couldn't help but smile and introduced, "This is what the queen mother called me some time ago, and let Jinxi train for a few days, and only came to me to serve yesterday." Sister Rong, you haven't seen it, no wonder you're surprised. ”
Haven't seen it?
No, I was in front of me every day in the previous life, and I saw it too many times.
Baojuan, I didn't expect to meet you in this life.
An Lingrong stared at Baojuan's face, pressed down the tumbling emotions in her heart, and asked Zhen Huan with a blank expression: "Is it?" I don't know what it's called? ”
"Her real name is Baojuan, I felt embarrassed, so I changed her name, along with Juqing and Jingqing, and called her Zhuqing." Zhen Huan said.
Zhu Qing still spoke as ingeniously as An Lingrong remembered: "The slave and maid are grateful for the name given by the little master, this name is much better than the original name of the slave and maid, and when I hear it, I feel bookish." ”
Zhen Huan seems to like her very much, and she speaks very gently to her.
An Lingrong opened her mouth, wanting to remind Zhen Huan to beware of Zhuqing, but she couldn't say, at least, now is not the time. Now they are the ones who are tied to the same boat as the queen, and they have never turned their faces.
"Little master, Bi promised to be in a much relieved mood recently, and she went out for a walk in the morning, and Sister Liuzhu accompanied her." Zhu Qing poured tea for Zhen Huan and An Lingrong with a smile, and said, "I also said that I want to eat pearl balls." ”
Zhen Huan's expression was complicated: "It's good that she can cheer up." She used to love to eat pearl balls, you wait to go to the imperial dining room and ask to see if there is tapioca flour, and if so, bring some back. She took a sip of tea and said, "It just so happens that I want to eat some water chestnut cake these days, so you can bring back the water chestnut powder you want to use." ”
"Yes." Zhu Qing leaned over and bowed back.
An Lingrong frowned slightly.
Tapioca?
She seemed to remember what had happened, but she couldn't remember it very clearly. At this time in her previous life, Shen Meizhuang was grounded in Xianyue Pavilion, Zhen Huan helped her to take the position, she was full of joy that she finally received her grace, and ignored many things, but Zhen Huan didn't seem to have anything happened before and after, and there would probably be no accidents.
It's Cao Guiren, maybe I can go and see it recently.
An Lingrong sipped herbal tea, thinking about it in his heart.
For two days in a row, there were chickens and dogs jumping in the Qingliang Palace, and Concubine Hua stopped Cao Guiren from approaching Wen Yi, Wen Yi was crying desperately, Concubine Hua was upset, and fed the tranquilizer several times in succession.
Seeing that Wen Yi was getting weaker and weaker, when the emperor came to the Qingliang Hall to eat, he talked about Wen Yi: "She is a little sleepy, not like she was lively and smiling a few days ago, is she not feeling well?" "There are few children in the palace, and he still attaches great importance to Wen Yi.
In Concubine Hua's Palace, there is a fragrance of joy burning day and night.
Concubine Hua's eyebrows jumped, and she knelt down busily, pleading guilty while shirking responsibility: "The concubine is guilty and didn't take good care of the princess." Cao Guiren was unwell a few days ago, and he couldn't take care of it, so he sent the princess to the concubine's side, and the concubine thought that it would be good to wait for Cao Guiren to be raised and then send it back. As he spoke, he gave Songzhi a look.
Song Zhi immediately said: "The emperor doesn't know, the princess cries every night, so she sleeps and doesn't like to laugh during the day, and the mother can't sleep at night, and even her eyes are red." ”
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua and did see that her eyes were dark: "It's really difficult for you to be like this." Get up. ”
Concubine Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the emperor's soft-heartedness, begging the holy driver to stay in the Qingliang Hall tonight.
The emperor did not refuse.
"I didn't hear Wen Yi cry tonight."
Concubine Hua smiled and hugged the emperor's neck: "With the emperor's yang energy suppressed, the villains and evil people retreat, and the princess naturally sleeps peacefully." ”
How did the emperor know that Concubine Hua asked Wen Yi to use heavy medicine this night, and Wen Yi fell asleep all night, and she didn't even get milk at night.
The nurse couldn't help it, and the next day, she secretly found Cao Guiren when Concubine Hua went to the Qinzheng Palace: "The nobleman doesn't know, if the emperor comes up, Concubine Hua will love the princess very much, and if the emperor is not there, she will be indifferent to the princess." As nursing mothers, slaves and maids can't put salt in their diets in order to produce good milk, but Concubine Hua doesn't take it to heart, and other people don't care about it. ”
Hearing this, Cao Guiren's eyes were already flashing, but the nurse's next words made her heart ache even more.
"That's it, the slave's milk is not good, and the princess is not used to eating, she always cries at night, but Concubine Hua actually fed the sedative medicine to the princess, and the princess took these medicines at a young age, but she was afraid that it would hurt her body!"
After the nurse finished speaking, Cao Guiren was already so shocked that he got up, so distressed that he couldn't breathe, and it took a while to ease out this breath: "What can I do?" In the past two days, every time I went, she would not let me see the princess, and when I asked a few more words about everything, she became angry, saying that I was not worried about her. As he spoke, Cao Guiren's eyes slowly filled with tears, "If you hadn't told me about this, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be kept in the dark." Her nose fluttered, almost unable to contain her emotions.
The nurse also looked sad: "Please also think of a way to take the princess back as soon as possible." ”
"She's getting proud now, how easy is she to let go." Cao Guiren gritted her teeth, her body couldn't stop trembling, and suddenly, a figure flashed in her mind......
"I and the nobles of Guan are very fond of children."
……
Cao Guiren's hands were clasped tightly together, a trace of brilliance slowly appeared in his eyes, and Zhengse said to the nurse: "If you put more effort into it, I will ask Concubine Hua, and I will personally send your food." In a few days, I will find a way to get Wen Yi back. ”
"If you can really take the princess back to the palace, the slaves and maids will also be regarded as Amitabha." The nurse suppressed the joy on her face and bowed and retreated.
Yin Sleeve stepped forward: "Little master, have you thought of a way?" We can't compete with Concubine Hua. ”
"I don't know if she can do it." Cao Guiren breathed deeply and breathed deeply, and then calmed down the sourness that came up, but it was still difficult to hide the bitterness between the words, "I have always listened to her and advised her, but she didn't even leave me a child." This kind of day of being under the fence and involuntarily not wanting to live a day again. The tail was trembling, and Cao Guiren still couldn't help the tears rolling down.
Yin Sleeve hurriedly wiped her tears, and her face was also full of worry: "Why did the little master say that to the nurse?" ”
"Since she is so unkind to me, I will never think about the past." Cao Guiren wiped away his tears and revealed a ruthless color, "The dragon has reverse scales, not to mention people, Wen Yi is my life, whoever wants to harm her, I can't forgive!" She took Yinsleeve's hand and whispered, "You quietly go to Rong Guiren, say that I have something important to discuss with her, and ask her when she will be free." ”
Tone Sleeve was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted and took the order.
Cao Guiren stood in the courtyard, the sun fell on her body and it was scorching, just like her mood at this moment, the fire was burning. She didn't know if the decision she made today was the right one, but for the sake of Wen Yi right now, she had no other way out.
In the afternoon, An Lingrong went to see Shen Meizhuang, and when he came back from Xianyue Pavilion, it was already dinner time, and he felt that his body was sticky, so he asked the dill to go down to fetch water and bathe, and Cardamom followed closely to report: "Little master, in the afternoon, the sound sleeves around Cao Guiren came to pass the word, saying that Cao Guiren had something important to discuss with the little master, and asked the little master when he would have time to meet her." ”
An Lingrong was slightly stunned.
She was thinking about Cao Guiren, why, she came to the door first.
