Chapter 98. Well-being
"Huan'er, why are you here?" Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan who came with a bunch of people in surprise, and asked, "Rong'er has already given birth?" ”
Zhen Huan shook her head with an ugly face, didn't care about answering Shen Meizhuang's words, and immediately went to work: "Hurry up, be sure to control the smoke!" ”
"Mix the soft tendons and live blood in the grass, and after the fire is extinguished, the billowing smoke will be blown by the wind, and the northeast wind blowing tonight will come from the direction of the cold palace, and Rong Guiren has no strength because of inhaling these smokes." Zhang Mi replied, "Weichen has already prescribed a new prescription, and it may be better for Rong Guiren to take another dose." ”
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak, but there was a noise inside, and he saw Fen Ruo pinching Mo'er's neck and walking out.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid also found live blood on her body." Fenruo ignored Mo'er's voice shouting injustice, and her face was as cold as frost, "If it weren't for the panic, things fell out of the cuffs of her clothes, and the slaves and maids wouldn't have found it!" ”
"No, no, the slave maid didn't ......" Mo'er shook her head again and again, her face turned pale with fright, "This thing is not the slave's, the slave doesn't know anything!" ”
There seemed to be a storm in the emperor's eyes, and the calmer his tone was, the more he revealed the anger in his heart: "Drag it out and kill." ”
"Your Majesty, the slave really doesn't know anything......" Mo'er couldn't help but be dragged out by the guards.
When the news of Mo'er's killing reached Jingren Palace, the queen slapped the table with a cold face: "It's useless!" It's all a bunch of waste, and such a good opportunity won't be used! ”
"Mother's anger." Jian Qiu whispered on the side, "Fortunately, when the fire was extinguished, they found that almost an hour had passed, and Rong Guiren had already sucked in a lot, even if he could give birth, he must be a weak child. ”
The queen slowly calmed down and sighed: "I couldn't get rid of her and the child in one fell swoop, thinking that I would have to find another way in the future, this palace felt tired and panicked." ”
It wasn't until dawn that news came from the Chunxi Palace, saying that An Lingrong had given birth to a weak princess.
The queen, who had been waiting all night, suddenly became energetic, and only laughed after repeatedly asking Jiang Fuhai for confirmation: "I knew that I was a princess, so this palace would not have to make such a big effort." She couldn't hide her good mood, "Is everything arranged over there in the cold palace?" ”
"Yes, I just said that Concubine Li agreed to hate, and she wanted to harm her by doing this." Seeing that the queen was in a good mood, Jian Qiu also smiled and said, "Concubine Hua has a loss of qi and blood, Concubine Li wants to live blood to force her to become popular, and she wants to use soft tendons to scatter her to bury her in the fire, how can it be explained, and the suspicion is not on the mother." ”
The queen nodded in satisfaction and couldn't help laughing.
The Chunxi Palace was not so happy here, the emperor hugged the princess who was finally born, and his heart was mixed.
"Since you can be born safely, you can raise it safely, and the emperor doesn't have to worry too much." The Queen Mother comforted, "The third princess was born with many difficulties and dangers, and the mourning family gave her the title of Ankang, hoping that she would be safe and healthy all her life." ”
"With the protection of the emperor, the princess will be able to grow up safely." The emperor was a little relieved, and then said, "The noble An family, the birth of the emperor's heir, thanks to the sheji, from now on, Jin will be a concubine, and the princess will be canonized when the moon is full." In addition, Concubine Rong was allowed to raise the princess in person, and she did not have to send it to Nansansu. ”
Fenruo and the others are all grateful.
handed over the princess to the nurse who had been arranged early in the morning, and the emperor said to the queen mother: "Since the lord has been sealed, it is not suitable to live here with the emperor's mother, the son wants to renovate the Qixiang Palace and let the concubine live in, she came out of the Qixiang Palace." ”
The Queen Mother nodded: "It's okay." ”
Seeing that An Lingrong was still asleep, and with Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan as companions, the Queen Mother was tired for a day, and she couldn't support it at this time: "After staying up all night, the emperor should be tired, go back to the Heart Cultivation Hall to rest." ”
The emperor nodded, lowered his eyes and inadvertently glanced at Zhen Huan, seeing that she had no reaction at all, his face suddenly turned cold, and he walked away.
Early in the morning, everyone came to greet the queen.
"Nian promised to move out of the cold palace, and still live back in Yikun Palace." As soon as the queen came up, she first said about it, "This palace knows that you don't like the temperament of the New Year, but she is sick now, and her brother Nian Qianyao has been belittled again, at this time, I have to comfort her more." ”
Everyone answered yes.
The queen looked around, her eyes fell on Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, and she changed to a concerned look: "Look at the two of you, your face is so ugly, you were busy all night last night, and you came over this morning to ask An to do something, hurry back and rest." Fu sighed again, "The emperor has already found out that it was Fei's malicious arson last night, she wanted to kill the New Year's promise, but she didn't expect that it would affect Concubine Rong, and the emperor has ordered Fei's death to be done, which can be regarded as administering justice for Concubine Rong." ”
Some people believe this statement, and naturally some people don't believe it.
Nian Shilan leaned on the head of the bed, listening to Song Zhi talk about this, she couldn't help but sneer: "It's hard for the queen to find such an excuse, Concubine Li is afraid that the palace will be too late, where will she have the courage to set fire to the palace, let alone use what kind of blood and soft tendons are scattered, if you have that brain, you will not be calculated and beaten into the cold palace in the first place." As she spoke, she couldn't stop coughing, until she was about to vomit blood.
Song Zhi hurriedly patted her on the back, and said distressedly: "The cold palace is cold, and the mother's illness has not improved for almost two months, but it has become more serious." finally returned to Yikun Palace, and I had to take care of it, and I couldn't do it anymore. ”
Yikun Palace is now empty, even Cao Qinmo moved to Zhongcui Palace because he was crowned the lord of the first palace, and the rest of the palace people were either killed with a rod or sent to various palaces, and only one Songzhi was left by Nian Shilan's side.
Nian Shilan's heart was like ashes: "The emperor has belittled his brother one after another, and he has shown no mercy to his mother's family in this palace, what can he do if his illness is cured in this palace?" She looked at Song Zhi in a panic, "This palace asked you to inquire about my brother's latest news, have you inquired?" ”
"Yes, the slaves and maids have all asked." Song Zhi's eyes were filled with tears, "Last month, the emperor was reprimanded by the emperor for not writing a word of gratitude in the recital, and yesterday he provoked the emperor to be angry because he wore a yellow coat to guard the city gate, and just removed the general Hangzhou from his position, demoted him to idle Zhang Jing, and guarded the Taiping Gate of Hangzhou. ”
"The emperor is so ruthless...... "Nian Shilan cried in panic and panted, "The emperor is really so ruthless......"
"!"
Nian Shilan didn't catch her breath and fainted.
Princess Ankang's baptism came to a lot of people, the queen mother and the queen were all present, Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang Zhen Huan arrived early in the morning, Xin Chang was in Chuxiu Palace with Shen Meizhuang, and they came early, followed by Fang Chunyi, Cao Qinmo and Fucha nobles, standing in a room. An Lingrong dragged his weak body and sat beside the emperor.
Although the weather has not yet cooled down, the queen still cautiously asked people to set up a few more braziers, explained to the nurse and the palace people who were waiting, and did not let the princess catch a cold, and placed the statues of Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Niangniang, Yunxiao Niangniang and other thirteen gods in the main hall one by one.
Seeing such symptoms, Mama Xi couldn't help but get nervous, and seeing that the princess was extremely weak, she even mentioned the spirit of 120,000 points, the royal heir, the slightest mistake will be in danger. She had all the cloth towels, clothes, and swaddling clothes to be hung above the brazier to warm them, and she personally carried the princess to wash them in warm water, and her movements were gentle and swift, a process called ringing the basin.
When the pot sounds, the louder the baby's cry, the healthier it is, and the greater the chance of survival, but An Kang just whimpered twice like a cat and stopped, which made people's hearts tremble, and An Lingrong shed tears on the spot.
The Queen Mother personally stepped forward to add water to Ankang, and then everyone followed the queen to take gold and silver, peanuts, eggs, etc. to add pots to Ankang, wash the three grandmothers in their mouths and chanted one auspicious word after another, while stirring the water in the basin with their hands, and finally took Ankang out, dried his body, and wrapped it in swaddling clothes after putting on his clothes.
Zhao Xuan acted as An Lingrong's mother, and took a green onion and gently slapped it three times on An Kang's body: "One dozen smart, two dozen clever, three dozen evil demons, I wish my son a smooth and healthy life, joy and worry-free." ”
Then it was a rite of worship.
An Lingrong stretched out his hand to take Ankang from Mama Xisan, and saw the little doll nested in swaddling clothes, carved in pink, with a very light pink on her face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her little hand.
As if there was a soul between mother and daughter, An Kang snorted softly, opened his dark and swarthy eyes, and looked at An Lingrong in a daze, and An Lingrong's heart suddenly softened.
"Ah, the princess's eyes are so beautiful." Xin Chang was at the tip of his eyes, and he saw Ankang's open eyes at a glance, "It is said that children who open their eyes early will be beautiful in the future, look at Princess Ankang, who is white and pure, and she will be a beauty when she grows up in the future." ”
An Lingrong burst into tears and laughed, and the queen smiled on the side: "It has always been Xin Changzai who is the best at talking." ”
Someone started, and naturally everyone would follow and say good things together, and for a while, the Chunxi Hall was also lively.
In addition to the excitement, the emperor looked up in the direction he had paid attention to earlier, Zhen Huan was wearing a azure palace dress today, standing quietly in the corner, her face was as faint as jade, and her eyes were moving and beautiful with a light smile.
Seeing that the emperor looked at Zhen Huan in a daze, An Lingrong raised his head and quietly glanced at Shen Meizhuang, and saw a determined smile in each other's eyes, while Fang Chunyi, who was standing on the side, watched the interaction between the two, looked at Zhen Huan again, bit his lower lip lightly, and endured a stomach of grievances.
Zhen Huan's return to favor is just a matter of time.
A quiet song "Hunan Concubine Resentment", a scene of falling flowers and a beauty roll, easily broke the emperor's defense.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wind of Guan concubine's pampering blew all over the six palaces, some people were happy, some people were resentful, and naturally some people were panicked.
In Changchun Palace, Concubine Qi complained that the nobles of Fucha were too harsh on Zhen Huan that day: "As soon as Concubine Wan made her wrist, she gained power, you look at the emperor's enthusiasm for her in the past few days, she is even more pampered than before, the emperor sees her, no one pays attention to her, and the noble man says that she will be put aside." You say, will we have a good life in the future? ”
The nobles of Fucha also knew, but she was not afraid at all, but she was a little unaccustomed to Concubine Qi's cowardly appearance: "Niangniang, why are you so worried?" The women in this palace have times when they are favored, and there are times when they fall out of favor, besides, she is a concubine, I am a nobleman, you are a concubine, these two to one, what are you afraid of? ”
"You can also say two against one, huh?" Concubine Qi shook her head, laughing at the nobles who were still too young, "In the palace to compete for favor, can you win with more people?" This palace looks like a concubine, and it won't give us a good life. ”
Fucha nobleman Nunu mouthed, looked away and did not speak again.
Ankang is about to be a full moon, and An Lingrong's canonization ceremony is also close at hand, Shen Meizhuang sent her the finished auspicious clothes, and talked about Zhen Huan's return to favor.
"Now that everything is fine, Huan'er is favored again, looking at the emperor's appearance towards her, we were worried in vain before." Since Zhen Huan regained favor, Shen Meizhuang was like a big stone in his heart, and everyone was much more relaxed, "You also gave birth to the child, although the process is a little dangerous, but the mother and daughter are safe, and everything is fine now." ”
An Lingrong raised his eyebrows and chuckled, without saying anything.
"It's Chun'er, I see that Huan'er is much colder to her." Shen Meizhuang frowned slightly, "When I asked for peace this morning, I saw that their two lives were divided a lot, and I don't know if it was because of Chun'er's favor a while ago." She sighed, "I persuaded Huan'er twice, and she only replied to me that the world is hot and cold, and people's hearts can only be seen and understood after a long time, and it sounds like something has happened." ”
"Sister Guan has her own considerations for doing things, so my sister doesn't need to worry too much." An Lingrong didn't say it explicitly, and smiled lightly.
Shen Meizhuang stretched her eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "I don't have anything to worry about now, she knows it in her heart." It's just that Chun'er entered the palace with us in the end, and it was better before, and it was not easy to get to where it is today. If there is something wrong with Chun'er, let's take care of it more if we can, and I can't say anything else. ”
An Lingrong just smiled kindly.
Cai Yue pushed the door in and said, "Little master, Gonggong Jin came to spread the word, saying that the noble Fucha had a sudden hysteria and fainted in the imperial garden, and he had returned to the queen, and the queen said to let you go over and have a look." ”
"Okay, got it." Shen Meizhuang then got up and said goodbye.
"Sister, now that I'm the assistant manager of the Sixth Palace, I'm getting more and more hands-on, but I'm so tired, I still have to pay more attention to my body." An Lingrong couldn't get up to send him off, so he could only say two more words.
Shen Meizhuang nodded and smiled: "I, it's just hard work." ”
Regarding the slow update that many babies say, here is an explanation: I don't write books full-time, I can only squeeze out time to write after work, because work is also very busy, from eight in the morning to eight in the evening, there is not much time left for writing, so it is difficult to do more than 10,000 words a day, which is really sorry. I will write as much as possible in the follow-up, starting from August, I try to ensure that there is one shift on weekdays, two days on weekends, and a fixed update at the beginning of the month. Say sorry to the babies again, I hope the babies are happy (bow bow)
