The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 46

In contrast, the emperor himself was not so excited, but raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, how are you? Ma Guiren lost three princes in a row before, and this child must be kept. From now on, Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send more manpower to Zhongcui Palace, and special personnel will be responsible for the third prince's three meals a day."

"Yes." The joy on Liang Jiugong's face remained undiminished, obviously he was really happy for the emperor.

Concubine Zhao was already mentally prepared early, she smiled gently on the side, took the appearance of a lord of the sixth palace, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have already thought about the names of the third princes." ?”

Hearing this, the emperor lowered his eyes, thought for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that this child should have followed the Yin character according to the family tree, but Ma Guiren's children have died one after another. I would like to make an exception and name him Changsheng." .”

"Changsheng?" Concubine Zhao was taken aback, and pursed her lips, "The meaning of this name is good, but... I'm afraid that sister Hui Bai will be paranoid."

The emperor didn't seem to care too much, he got up slowly, and said flatly: "Even if I can't afford this name, her suspicious nature will still think about it for a long time."

"Let's go, take me to see Changsheng." The emperor walked out of the side hall with his hands behind his back, Concubine Zhao quickly got up and followed behind.

At this time, Changsheng had already been put to sleep by the servants, and the imperial physician was explaining the situation to the maids of honor in the palace. Seeing the emperor suddenly approaching, several imperial physicians bowed down and saluted: "Greetings to the emperor."

The emperor didn't look at them, he just walked forward, glanced at Chang Sheng who was sleeping soundly, his eyes didn't linger too much, and asked calmly, "How is the prince?"

"Replying to the emperor, the prince is very healthy, and he doesn't seem to have any symptoms at present." One of the old doctors with gray beard replied respectfully with lowered eyebrows and eyes.

The emperor just nodded slightly, Concubine Zhao showed a gentle smile, and said kindly: "That's good, thank you a few imperial physicians for being busy here, it's getting late today, please ask a few imperial physicians to go back and rest first."

Several imperial physicians looked at each other, and saluted Concubine Zhao together: "I will take my leave first."

After the imperial doctors left, the emperor looked at the sleeping baby's snow-white face, his eyes softened a little, and he turned to Liang Jiugong and asked, "How is Ma Guiren?"

Liang Jiugong bowed and said unhurriedly: "Back to the emperor, Ma Guiren's birth was very difficult, and she almost couldn't stop the bleeding just now. Now the imperial doctor gave her an injection, and Ma Guiren passed out due to collapse. .”

The emperor's face remained unchanged, his hands were still behind his back, he turned and walked out slowly, "That's the case, I will wait for Ma Guiren to wake up tomorrow and then come to see her."

After saying that, the emperor was about to leave, but at this moment, a young eunuch hurriedly ran outside the palace, the little eunuch stopped in front of the emperor, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming. "

Hearing this, the emperor frowned.He intended to leave quickly to avoid confrontation with the Queen Mother, but now he bumped into her.In desperation, the emperor and Concubine Zhao came out of the main hall together. Seeing the empress dowager, the emperor's eyes darkened a little, and he pretended to be indifferent: "I send my respects to the empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager put her hand on the hand of Xing Lu beside her, and walked up step by step, her lips painted with lipstick were very red, her eyes were fixed on the emperor's face, and she softly snorted: " The emperor also knows that there is a mother named Aijia."

Concubine Zhao's eyes swept over the two of them one by one, and looked at Qiu Jie who was beside her without knowing why.Qiu Jie shook her head slightly at her, and Concubine Zhao frowned a little.

The emperor walked down the steps slowly, and he didn't mean to be afraid of the queen mother. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was cold: "The emperor's mother was joking. Naturally, I respect you very much in my heart."

"Respect?" The queen mother frowned, and the bright red on her mouth looked extremely dazzling, "The Ai family dare not be respected by your emperor. After all, the Ai family is also the emperor's heir, so how can we have a relationship with the Ai family?" How much do you want to do it?"

The queen mother's words were full of yin and yang, and after she gave the emperor a hard look, she returned to the original aggressive smile, and directly led people around the emperor and Concubine Zhao, and said as she walked: "Okay, Ai's family is here to see the prince, the emperor should rest earlier."

All the people waiting for the Queen Mother entered the main hall, Concubine Zhao looked at the emperor with some worry, frowned slightly, and said in a very thin voice, "Your Majesty..."

"It's nothing." The emperor interrupted Concubine Zhao in a neutral manner, the expression on his face was not serious, but there was really no smile.He didn't say anything more, and left without looking back.

Concubine Zhao, who stayed where she was, sighed lightly, looked at Qiu Jie beside her, and asked puzzledly: "What's going on with the queen mother and the emperor?"

During this period of time, Qiu Jie was very effective in serving Concubine Zhao, and she has become Concubine Zhao's most trusted court lady.Qiu Jie lowered her eyes and said softly: "The queen mother is usually close to the Yanxi Palace, probably because the second elder brother was named the prince some time ago, the queen mother and the emperor are born."

"It's actually like this." Concubine Zhao pursed her lips, somewhat worried, she looked at the backs of the emperor and his attendants, and began to think.

Ma Guiren put a lot of effort into giving birth this time, and took a rest for two months. When Ma Guiren officially left the Zhongcui Palace, the rare peace of the harem in the past six months was wiped out.During this period of time, Ma Guiren was already trapped and irritable, now that she has won the prince again, here she has both women, Ma Guiren naturally has a bright future again for a while, Zhao Guifei dare not confront her head-on.

But at this juncture, Yougui suddenly fell ill. The illness came suddenly. Just after autumn, Yougui had some acne on his back. Originally, Yougui didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was caused by the change of seasons. For skin diseases, just put some ointment on it.But after a period of time, not only did the acne not disappear, but Yougui also developed symptoms of redness.

Because of this symptom, Mr. Yougui was unable to sleep for a long time, so he had no choice but to find the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital to have a look.After examining the pulse of Mr. Yougui, Imperial Physician Sun had a complicated look on his face. It was not until Mr. Yougui questioned his condition that Imperial Physician Sun slowly said: "Your Honor's acne and redness are caused by polycystic uterus. It is caused by deficiency of kidney qi, I wonder if your lord has not rested for a long time?"

(Note: Polycystic uterus here refers to polycystic ovary syndrome, and redness refers to abnormal bleeding in the reproductive system in addition to normal menstruation.)
Hearing the words of Imperial Physician Sun, Mr. Yougui and the maidservants around him became alert, and Mr. Yougui's face darkened a little, and he replied: "That's true, I do often have heart palpitations and insomnia these days, Mr. Sun, this disease can be serious. serious?"
