Chaos in the Chu Palace

Chapter 57
Seeing her crying, Chu Huotian withdrew all the palace people, and just hugged her quietly in his arms. His voice was clear and mellow, with a magical effect of calming people's hearts: "Don't cry. I know you miss your child, but You still have Lin Xiang by your side, and you and I will have children in the future, besides, auspicious people have their own appearance, so you can relax."

He thought she was missing his child.He really... didn't know anything.

Ouyang Ruo raised her head and saw Chu Huotian's handsome face was deeply tired, and she was moved. He must be extremely tired, but he talked to her for so long to spend a big winter festival with her, what else could she expect.

Ouyang Ruo thought about this, got up and wiped the tears from her face, and said with a forced smile: "The concubine should die, I disturbed the emperor's interest, and the concubine served the emperor with vegetables."

She put away her tears and laughed at Yan Yan, with plain hands and bright wrists, and a beautiful face like spring, as if nothing had happened.Chu Huotian also looked at her faintly and smiled, and spent a big winter festival with her quietly.

Early the next morning, Chu Huotian got up, and Ouyang Ruo waited for him to change his clothes and freshen up, and said casually: "The emperor should go to see Yu Chonghua more often, she is pregnant now, but it is different from before."

Chu Huotian gave a "hmm" before saying, "I saw her a few days ago, and I think she is in good spirits. It's you..." Chu Huotian suddenly smiled, and whispered something in her ear.

Ouyang Ruo's face was as red as silk, and she said angrily, "Only the emperor can make fun of people!" Her shy face was like a spring flower blooming, and she was so beautiful.

Chu Huotian laughed, hugged her and said: "What's the matter, call the doctor from Tai Hospital to show you someday, you must not fall behind."

When Ouyang Ruo heard him talking about the Imperial Hospital, he suddenly remembered what Wan Zhaoyi had said about her father's apprentice working in the Imperial Hospital, and he was hesitant and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Chu Huotian hurried to the morning court.Wan Hui came in and asked Ouyang Ruo if he wanted to rest again.

Ouyang Ruo shook his head and said, "Go back up the gift, and send someone to send Wan Zhaoyi off after I finish greeting the queen. I'm going to pay a visit to Wan Zhaoyi."

Ouyang Ruo personally picked out gifts with Wan Hui.After greeting the queen, Ouyang Ruo took Wan Zhaoyi and walked all the way. The sky was clear at first, and the snow on the ground was dry and neat, but it didn't feel slippery.Wan Zhaoyi was in a good mood, maybe the child was about to give birth.

Ouyang Ruo said with a smile: "Looking at my sister's smile, my sister is really envious."

Wan Zhaoyi smiled and said, "My sister also gave birth to one, so I don't have to be envious."

Ouyang Ruo looked at Wan Zhaoyi's contented look, and slowly said, "My sister, I want to have one too."

Seeing that she had figured it out, Wan Zhaoyi shook her hand happily and said, "That's it."

Wan Zhaoyi was very enthusiastic, and on the third day, she called the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital.Ouyang Ruo was also invited to her side.Naturally, the imperial physician came to ask for Wan Zhaoyi's pulse.Ouyang Ruo entered Wan Zhaoyi's inner hall, separated by a translucent gauze curtain, and stretched out his hand for him to diagnose the pulse.There was silence in the inner hall, and the drop of a needle could be heard.Through the gauze curtain, Ouyang Ruo saw that the imperial physician was very young and looked honest and well-behaved. I heard from Wan Zhaoyi that the imperial physician's surname was Qin Mingzhi. When he was young, he had learned courtesy from her father when he was studying abroad. Later, he became interested in studying medicine, so he resigned from his father to concentrate on studying medicine.Unexpectedly, he had accomplished a lot in his studies and entered the imperial hospital at a young age, becoming a doctor. Originally, he could not ask Wan Zhaoyi for pulse due to his grade, but Wan Zhaoyi asked. The imperial hospital saw that he was honest and hardworking. He was indeed good at medicine, so he was allowed to enter the palace.

Doctor Qin cut the pulse carefully, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "The constitution of the concubine Rou is not weak, but it is not easy to conceive because of the coldness of the uterus. If you eat more beef and mutton on weekdays, it will warm and nourish you. It will be of great benefit, I will prescribe a few more medicines for the empress, and the empress can take it on time."

Ouyang Ruo nodded, and said, "Then according to what the doctor Qin said, take it easy."

Physician Qin prescribed several prescriptions.Of course, it cannot be recorded in the medical files of the Imperial Hospital, and what was submitted to the Imperial Hospital for backup is naturally the nourishing prescription for fetal protection prescribed for Wan Zhaoyi.Ouyang Ruo took the prescription, took a look at it, and asked Mingying to take something as a reward. Imperial Physician Qin looked at it, accepted it silently, and then left.

Seeing that he was gone, Wan Zhaoyi turned in and asked Ouyang Ruo, "How is it? This man is quite honest and reliable."

Ouyang Ruo said with a smile: "That's right, seeing that Imperial Physician Qin is young and promising, his words are sincere, and he is a reliable person."

Ouyang Ruo stayed in Huanbi Palace for a while before coming out.After returning to the palace, he showed De Xuan the prescription. De Xuan looked at it and nodded, "This servant only understands the principles of medicine, but this prescription is good. But in order to prevent mistakes, I still give it to Zhao Take a look, sir."

Ouyang Ruo frowned slightly and said, "What kind of person is Mr. Zhao Da? You're making yourself uncomfortable by asking so rashly. I'm afraid it will reach the emperor's ears."

Dexuan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I'm worrying too much. It's okay for the servants to ask questions openly. They just say that they ordered someone to prescribe a prescription outside the palace. Besides, Mr. Zhao Da doesn't care much about political affairs these days. A group of celebrities and idlers drink wine and fight poetry, very leisurely."

Ouyang Ruo nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that he is full of talent."

Dexuan hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "I secretly think that this is Mr. Zhao Da's wise way to protect himself." He said halfway but didn't continue.

Ouyang Ruo suddenly realized that Zhao Qingling was an amazing talent. He could assist Chu Huotian to ascend the throne, put down the rebellion of the queen and the king, and if he had a platform to display his talents, he would definitely become powerful. Phase also.How smart and sophisticated he is, once Chu Huotian came to the throne, he would resign from his position, dissipate all his wealth and honor, and just wander around leisurely every day, so that Chu Huotian would no longer be afraid of him.

"Mr. Zhao Qingling, you are really a god." Ouyang Ruo sighed, and then let Dexuan go in peace.

Wan Hui came in, saw Ouyang Ruo was in a daze, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty should feel at ease now, this Imperial Physician Qin is really a good doctor. Maybe he can really win a child with one stroke."

Ouyang Ruo came back to his senses, smiled lightly and said, "Auntie, that's not what I was thinking about."

Wan Hui wondered: "What is that lady thinking?"

Ouyang Ruosu ordered the tea with his hand, and stroked a few strokes lightly. Wan Hui stepped forward to take a look, and there were only four words "received for personal use" on it.

Ouyang Ruo then wiped it off lightly, leaving only a few water stains on the table, no more traces.

The winter in the Chu Palace passed by so slowly day by day, and the whole Chu Palace became strange because of Chu Huotian's anti-corruption wind outside the court hall.Some of the concubines' families were affected, and some were urged by their families to plead with Chu Huotian, but in the end they were all severely punished by Chu Huotian.Looking around, Ouyang Ruo's Huayan Palace is the most peaceful, so Chu Huotian often stays in her palace.

Days passed by, and the New Year was approaching, and the whole Chujing was filled with a lot of festive atmosphere because of the approaching Spring Festival.After a few heavy snowfalls in early winter, it has not snowed for a long time. As the winter is approaching, experienced old people say that there must be a heavy snowstorm at the end of the year, and the auspicious snow heralds a good year. !

Emperor Chu held several banquets in the palace, firstly to reward the generals and ministers who have made meritorious service, and secondly to use this to shorten the distance with the officials.Because in the previous crackdown on corruption, many important officials were indeed punished. For a while, the officials were trembling and the atmosphere was depressed.If you take this opportunity, you can bring together the panic-stricken people again.

It's almost the end of the new year, and the palace is much more lively, and the palace people cleaned up the dust early and posted couplets.Huayan Palace was no exception. Ouyang Ruo ordered Dexuan to give each of the palace members big red seals as compensation for the hard work of the past half a year.

The palace people below were very happy, Xiangye had a sweet mouth, smiled and received the red seal and said: "My servant sees that our mother is the best in every palace, and the other palace sisters are very envious."

Ouyang Ruo pursed her lips into a smile, and nodded her forehead: "Of course, you will be rewarded for less work and more money. I'm not happy to spoil you."

The rest of the palace people laughed.

Ouyang Ruo waited for them to disperse, then slowly withdrew her smile, and said to Wan Hui after a moment of thought, "What does Auntie think? Ming Ying is almost sixteen. At her age, ordinary girls would have married long ago." Auntie, let's see if..."

Wan Hui was keeping accounts, and after hearing the words, she pondered and said: "That's right, but if the empress loses her, she won't be able to find another girl to replace her, should I wait for another year or two?"

Ouyang Ruo frowned and said hesitantly: "If you wait another year or two, I'm afraid I can only be someone else's concubine. This..."

Wan Hui smiled wryly and said: "Does the empress still want to find someone who can be the head of the house for her? People from Huadi are like dwarves in Chudi."

Ouyang Ruo was also troubled in his heart, but he couldn't speak out after thinking about some calculations, so he could only say: "Then let's have a look."

She paused before saying: "A few days ago, the emperor talked about my status. He said that he wanted to change to a clean palace for us to live in. When everyone was celebrating during the Chinese New Year, if I mentioned my status again, no one would say anything. gone."

Wan Hui wasn't surprised when she heard that, she just said, "What does your lady think?"

Ouyang Ruo pondered for a while, pinched the ivory comb of carved lily and lark with her slender jade-colored hands, knocked on the sandalwood and gold-rimmed dressing table, and sighed: "It's not that Auntie doesn't know that I want to stay away from right and wrong, but This Huayan Palace is too far away, so I agreed with the emperor to change to another palace first, and we can wait until the end of the new year to talk about the position. After the new year, the draft will begin. If the newcomer meets me It’s so remote, and maybe how to laugh at our palace. In this palace, we must fight for what should be fought.”

Wan Hui naturally had no objection after hearing this, and quietly retreated.

Ouyang Ruo took out the prescription that he had read several times from his bosom, read it carefully again, and then burned it with a candle.

The midwinter season is the best time to nourish her body. It's time for her to take good care of her body.

Wan Zhaoyi and Lin's family will give birth in a month or so. Empress Zhao ordered Mrs. Liu Guo to prepare for her childbirth. Mrs. Liu Guo did it very well, and only five nurses were selected to deliver the baby, named Wan Zhaoyi one by one. After looking around, there are nurses, aunts and other people who are also strong and healthy, without a trace of illness or ugly.If this is the case, Wan Zhaoyi is also worried, and secretly asks Ouyang Ruo to discuss it together.

Wan Zhaoyi shook her hand and said, "If I give birth that day, I think Sister Ouyang can be by my side, so my heart will be much more at ease."

Ouyang Ruo nodded, and the two talked for a while before Ouyang Ruo quietly went back.
