Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2634 Ten Volumes 22 Strange Tire (2)

I don’t know if it’s because I served the concubines of Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun well. In December, the emperor rewarded Chen Shiguan with a third-rank title, and allowed him to receive a food salary (according to this rank, he can enjoy the salary) .

According to the original ranks of officials in Taiyuan Hospital, the ranks of officials are: the fifth rank of the court envoy, the sixth rank of the court judge, the seventh rank of the imperial doctor, and 13 officials each of the eighth rank and the ninth rank.

Even the envoys in charge of the Taiyuan Hospital were only the fifth rank just now, but the emperor awarded Chen Shiguan the third rank.

Moreover, the emperor also specially allowed Chen Shiguan to enjoy the imperial salary according to the third-rank title, which is to grant this title to the real, not just a title of grace in name.This makes Chen Shiguan even more special in the history of Daqing Tai Hospital.

It was not only Chen Shiguan who got this good thing, but also the imperial physicians Luo Heng and Wu Shizhuo who had been serving Concubine Dun and Concubine Shun along with Chen Shiguan.Luo Heng and Wu Shizhuo were granted the title of fifth rank by the emperor's decree.

In terms of rank, these two people are already on the same level as the envoys in charge of the Imperial Hospital.Although the two of them didn't have Chen Shiguan's special favor, they only had the title of fifth rank, and they didn't get paid according to the rank of fifth rank, but in the officialdom, this rank was enough to be proud of.

This incident also caused quite a stir in the former court and the harem. Everyone thought that it was because Chen Shiguan was the leader, and the three imperial physicians came to serve Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun's fetus together, which made the emperor happy and gave him a big reward. The three imperial physicians went.Therefore, the emperor's decree of kindness, which seems to be for the three imperial physicians, is actually for Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun.

Under such coaxing, Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun are also happy.

It's just that under the joy, the two still have their own hidden worries.

Concubine Dun's hidden worries come in the months when she comes on time every month-who has a child, and can still have menstruation every month?And it's not just coming, it's always on time and on time every time, it doesn't seem like a symptom of "leaking red" at all.

Concubine Dun's second hidden worry is her uncle Mandou.As the commander-in-chief of Malanguan, Man Dou is in charge of the affairs of the imperial tomb area. This matter is big enough to lose his head.The former son heard a letter from her mother's house, begging her to speak kindly for her uncle in front of the emperor.

Although her mother's family didn't explain what she said because of her fetal gas, but just from the inner and outer meaning of the words, she also vaguely sensed that her uncle Mandou had done something terrible.
.
Concubine Dun has hidden worries on her side, while Concubine Shun can only use the word "troublesome" to describe it.

Concubine Shun put all her hopes this year on this child. From the first day she lived in Chuxiu Palace, she worshiped Buddha, chanted scriptures, and made all kinds of vows. She went as a prince.

The empress dowager even sent her the news every few days, or asked her aunt in the empress dowager's palace to pass on a message to her, telling her to do her best this time, but she must give birth to a prince.

The empress dowager was ill. She knew that the old lady was sent back to Beijing from the summer resort in advance by the emperor in September, which showed that her condition was not optimistic.Besides, the empress dowager is at this age, and once an old lady of this age falls ill, no one dares to say whether she will be able to get up again.

So the empress dowager is anxious, almost forcing her; she herself is even more anxious, on the one hand, she is still worried about whether she will be able to give birth to a prince, and while the empress dowager is still alive, she hastened to give up the position of empress and crown prince. All seats are occupied.

At the same time, she couldn't help worrying, if the empress dowager's illness went wrong, how would she live in this harem without the empress dowager's support.This Chuxiu Palace, or the position in the middle palace that she has longed for for many years, does she still have a chance to have it.

With this anxious heart, her body reacted with cause and effect, and something went wrong.

Just a few days ago, that is, on November 26, when she was nearly half a year pregnant, she suddenly had a backache and abdominal pain, and she even saw blood!
She has never given birth, and she is afraid that this symptom may mean that the child has--dropped!
She hurriedly sent the imperial doctor to come, and it was Chen Shiguan who came to serve him in person.

After Chen Shiguan's pulse diagnosis, he comforted her with a smile, saying that the child is fine...

Only then did she go with a sigh of relief, and thanked Chen Shiguan a thousand times, and sealed a lot of money to go, wishing to give Chen Shiguan all her yearly money—because Chen Shiguan's words were worthwhile. The daughter is worth her life even more.

Chen Shiguan personally prescribed "Xionggui Decoction" for her, using the medicinal power of Chuanxiong and Angelica to help her recuperate and treat abdominal pain and bleeding.

From using this prescription on November 26 to December, the hemorrhage finally stopped.She was overjoyed, so she told Chen Shiguan again.

Chen Shiguan still comforted her with a smile, "Please look, Concubine Shun, you are not only leaking red now, but your belly is still in good shape, which naturally proves Weichen's diagnosis, Concubine Shun, you and the emperor's heir are both All well!"

Concubine Shun was so happy that she kowtowed in front of the Buddha that night, and reported the happy news to the Empress Dowager.

Since the winter, the empress dowager's health has become worse and worse.The Shengshou in November was barely passed, and Concubine Pian Shun's leak happened on the day after the Empress Dowager's Shengshou, which always made the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shun feel a little ominous.This time it finally turned out to be a false alarm, but I have to report it to the Empress Dowager and ask her to have fun too!

The empress dowager clapped her hands happily when she got the letter and said, "There is hope, Concubine Shun finally gives me hope this time! This child is so lucky, he must be a prince, and he will definitely inherit the throne in the future!"
.
Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun, including the empress dowager, all had hope for a new life, and they transitioned from the 41st year of Qianlong to the 42nd year of Qianlong.

The empress dowager seemed to be cured of her illness because of this hope.From the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she participated in all the festivals in the palace, as in previous years, with the emperor.

Whether it's the Empress Dowager's celebration ceremony on the first day of the Lunar New Year, or the family banquet in the Chonghua Palace, or even moved to the Old Summer Palace on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and watched operas in the Paradise all day long, the old ladies are all in high spirits, and they don't look sick at all. up.

But unexpectedly, within a few days, on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the Empress Dowager's condition suddenly worsened.

The emperor personally went to the Changchun Immortal Hall to attend to the empress dowager.

But even the emperor's filial piety could not stop the heaven's determination to take the old lady away in the first month of the lunar year—only an hour later, that is, the ugly hour, the empress dowager collapsed and passed away.

"Shanghai cried out in mourning, and there were countless dances. Picking off the crown tassels, Yi Sufu, ordered Huang Yu, and respectfully returned the Empress Dowager Daxing to the palace. The crying never stopped. First, the east side hall of Shoukang Palace is only waiting. Chen Ke, Da Xing Huang Yu, Empress Dowager Xing went to the Palace of Compassion. She cut off her hair, dressed in plain clothes, and knelt to meet outside the left gate of Yongkang. , Open the curtain, set up a confession."

"At that time, the empress dowager will be burialed, and all the ceremonial clothes will be prepared, and the ceremony will be done with all sincerity. She cried bitterly and danced endlessly. After the burial, she lays a memorial ceremony and presents the ceremony, and eats as if watching a meal."

"Concubines, concubines, and princes, grandsons, etc., all wear uniforms. Princes and below, officials with top belts and above; princesses and Fujin below, guards, Zuo Ling and other wives and above, and men and women such as Zuo Ling of the House of Internal Affairs and Bai Tang A , all gathered, dressed, and mourned."
