Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Chapter 16
Xue Po was anxious to see the consonance, and hurried into the inner room.I looked at the sinking old doctor, and asked anxiously, "Master Wei, how is Sister Huang?"

Wei Lin said: "Emperor Ji don't have to worry too much, Lingxi Emperor Ji has only been a vegetarian for a long time, and her heart has been pent up with melancholy, which has caused her body to become weak. Today, if she is in a hurry, it will be fine if she vomits out the blood."

I doubted: "Then Miss Huang won't be like this in the future?"

The old imperial doctor kept secret: "Emperor Concubine should know that heart disease needs heart medicine. All I can do is to prescribe some nourishing medicine."

I remained silent and watched Wei Lin leave.Slowly glanced around, the hall was full of desolation and deserted.At that moment, I really felt extremely uncomfortable in my heart. I couldn't do anything, and I didn't know who to tell.For the first time in my life, I felt such powerlessness.

Perhaps it was because of the strong worry that showed on her face, Ruxiu said in fear: "Diji." I said, "It's okay, let Heng'er and the others come in." After a while, I went in and called Xue Po out, saying: " Fifth sister is tired, sister, let's meet another day."

Affected by this emotion, I couldn't lift my spirits for several days, and naturally I didn't go out.On the contrary, Liu Hong was overjoyed to return to Lingxi's side, and she couldn't get away, so she asked Xie Yu to come and thank her.

I had a good impression of her, so I ordered Xiaoyun to send her in.It was winter months, the capital was located in the north, it was already as cold as ice, and the snow from the day before yesterday had been pattering all night, and when I got up early, I saw snow beads sticky, and the palace people couldn't sweep them all.Xie Yu was wearing a silver-red long padded jacket, his cheeks were flushed from the cold as soon as he entered the room, and his speech was a little knotted, "Emperor Ji Changle Jin'an."

I said no courtesy, and asked someone to give me a seat. Ruxiu is used to jokes, and because of her familiarity with Xie Yu, she moved a red charcoal stove to keep her warm, and joked: "Aunt Xie is here to see Di Ji today. You're not Chaotianzi, why bother to apply such thick rouge, it looks like a peach."

Seeing that Xie Yu was slightly embarrassed, I hurriedly scolded: "Presumptuous, Mrs. Xie has a class, how can you make fun of her, do you want to commit the next crime?"

Ruxiu hurriedly stood aside to admit his mistake, and Xie Yu also got up and said: "Emperor Jirong, Miss Ruxiu has been in the palace for a long time, and her qualifications are far older than slaves. Everyone is working in the palace, so it doesn't matter if you tell a joke." .”

I saw that her words were honest, and she really didn't seem to be faking it. I thought her cousins ​​were somewhat similar in temperament.So he said more gently: "I sent your cousin back to Lingxi Diji, I didn't ask her, it's rare that she missed her old favor, and Baba sent you here."

Xie Yufu said, "Emperor Ji killed my sister. Don't say that Di Ji and we both have the grace to support and support us. Originally, whatever errands the master arranges should be shared. Cousin has always wanted to repay the consonance of Di Ji, so let's take a step back." Not to mention, serving Diji is better than raising flowers and plants."

What she said was not in a hurry, not blindly flattering, but it was also pleasing to the ear.This is also one of the reasons why I strongly recommend her to serve as an errand in front of the imperial court and to lead the couple. In the words of my mother and concubine, it is: "There are poems and books in the belly but not revealed, and even the appearance is unassuming beauty, which is really liked by men and women." After chatting with her for a while, I felt a lot more relaxed. This is also a kind of friendship, and when she finally got up to say goodbye, I still said: "It's windy outside, why don't you sit down for a while. "

Xie Yudao: "Di Ji Endian, it's just that Ding concubine has not finished her errands for copying ancient books, so I dare not delay." I was surprised and said, "When did there be more Ding concubines in the palace, how come I don't know at all?"

"The maidservant forgot to report. The young master Ding concubine is the original Xungui. She was diagnosed a few days ago and was two months pregnant. The emperor was overjoyed that she was promoted. It seems that the sixth palace has not been announced yet. The maidservant is also because of the smoke around the young master. Sister Luo came to ask for books yesterday, so I found out."

I was startled when I heard the words, and then asked Xiaoyun to send Xie Yu out, then called Ruxiu over, and said softly: "Go to Yuping Palace and inquire about it, and see what it is like."

Ruxiu went as she said, but came back after half an hour and stuck out her tongue: "What a surprise, Xun, it's not that Concubine Ding's place is really lively right now. When I went, the Empress Dowager was giving rewards, and there were people inside and out. It filled up the Yuping Palace."

I asked: "There's such a big commotion, so did Li Liangdi come out to help with the entertainment?"

"Her?" Ruxiu chuckled, and said in a low voice, "It's not that Diji doesn't know about that person's temper. Since entering the palace, Concubine Ding has never been favored by her. , she is far behind, how can Li Xiaozhu act generously."

I also laughed: "No matter what, it is the first emperor's heir of the emperor's brother. This is a great event. Tomorrow, I will discuss it with my mother and concubine. I should send a congratulations to the son-off Guanyin."

Concubine Ding's pregnancy was like a stone falling into the water, there was not much movement, but it caused waves around.To be honest, she was not favored, and she had an imperial heir ahead of the long-timed concubine Maogui and Li Liangdi, who was favored and favored. She really had to be praised as "the blessings are profound".

My mother and concubine and I also went to Yuping Palace to congratulate soon, and the maids who were close to the concubine Ding came out with a smile: "Wan'an, the concubine, Wan'an, the emperor. What a coincidence that the concubine and empress are here, Mr. Chengyi and our young master talk."

As soon as I heard it, I was a little hesitant, unwilling to take a step, and the concubine mother wondered: "Pei'er, what's wrong with you?"

I said: "Mother Concubine, why don't your Concubine Mother go to visit Concubine Ding by herself."

The concubine mother frowned slightly, patted me lightly, and said: "Shut up, why do you say something like this, let others spread it, no one offends anyone, Mrs. Chengyi is the empress dowager's sister-in-law."

I also told the truth to my mother, and whispered in her ear: "That's why I'm in trouble, she is supposed to be the nephew of the father, and I should call her a cousin, but that will not overwhelm Lingxi Xuepo and the others." Is it a lifetime?"

The concubine mother was angry and funny, she didn't point her finger at my head in front of people, but she also said: "You child, why are you so troubled by such trivial matters? It's over if you call me the master." Ruxiu said He also held back his smile and said: "The concubine let the slaves interrupt, our Diji is good at everything, but this matter has a bit of a criminal record. When I was young, I almost got into a fight with Mr. Zhiping because of a joke. Have you forgotten?"

I was embarrassed when I heard this, and said anxiously: "What are you talking about, me."

The concubine mother hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it's been a few years ago, don't forget that there are business matters for a few days, and you are not allowed to lose your identity as an emperor in front of others."

Seeing what my concubine said, I didn't dare to lose my temper anymore, so I followed her into the palace gate silently.Just taking advantage of the concubine's inattention, she gave Ruxiu a hard look, this girl is really spoiled, she can't open any pot and carry which pot.Unexpectedly, she also got my temper, so she smiled and passed.
