The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 269 The Shouning Palace Crisis ([-])

Day by day, at the end of February, it was reported in the palace that the Empress Dowager had caught a cold and hadn't gotten better. Minzhi put aside her family affairs, and went to sleep with Wu Fujin, paying close attention to it. After all, the old lady was nearly [-] years old. , Before her, the Qing Dynasty had never had such a long-lived empress dowager. The whole palace focused on the empress dowager's condition, but the old lady herself was very calm.

At first everyone thought it was a common cold, and they were nervous, so they didn't think it was too much. But after a few days, they drank a lot of medicine, not only did the symptoms not relieve, but they developed a fever. She lowered her temperature physically, but it still didn't work, and the heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines prescribed by the imperial physicians didn't help either.

Concubine Tong Gui came to pay her respects one day, hoping that the queen mother would let go and let her deliver a message to the emperor.Concubine Tong had no choice but to ask Prince Yuli for help. Yinfeng disliked others, but she was very filial to this imperial grandmother who only defended him all the time. She did whatever she wanted. Now that her grandmother has been ill, he also hesitated to let her go. Kangxi returned to Beijing ahead of schedule.

But the empress dowager's attitude is firm, plus Yinfeng also thinks that a cold is nothing more than a trivial matter, and the father is not a doctor, and it is useless when he comes back, so he obeyed the empress dowager's wishes and kept concealing it.

However, after a few more days, the Empress Dowager's body temperature did not drop but returned to normal. The imperial physicians were horrified to find that no matter how much they used medicine or acupuncture, they could not stop the Empress Dowager's body temperature from rising day by day.Under Yinreng's rage, several imperial physicians had already had their heads beheaded. Yinreng's violence frightened the imperial physicians, and no one came up with an effective treatment plan.Just watching the Queen Mother get worse day by day.

On this day, Minzhi visited Shouning Palace as usual, and when he entered the inner room, the bright yellow curtains had been hung up, and the Empress Dowager was buried under two eiderdown quilts, with a handkerchief on her forehead, her face flushed sickly.Minzhi approached quietly: "Emperor Mama, granddaughter-in-law greets you." The queen mother opened her eyes wearily: "You are here, you have come almost every day these few days..."

"Huang Mama has been burning, everyone in the palace is worried about you." Minzhi took the veil handed over by Mammy, and changed the veil on the Queen Mother's head: "Huang Mama, why don't you How about letting Huang Ama know about your illness? Huang Ama must be thinking about you very much, if he comes back and sees you are sick, and we as juniors don’t report it, the old man will be very angry!"

The empress dowager raised her hand and shook her hand: "Don't tell the emperor, it's just a low fever. The emperor is here, but it won't help. From tomorrow on, you and Lao Wu's family, you don't need to use it anymore. Ai's own body knows it. This little fever is fine." "How can this be done? Let's just say that the granddaughter-in-law does not agree, and the fifth sister-in-law will not agree. You are so sick that everyone in the palace is worried, but you told me to ignore it. Humans can't do it."

Just as this room was saying this, the servant came in to report: "Report to the Queen Mother, please ask the Prince to see you." Come to say hello, Minzhi only treats her as an old man with a temper like a child.So he responded in vain, and retreated, wanting to discuss with Concubine Liang or Concubine Yi or Hui Concubine how to deal with the Queen Mother's temper.

Walking out of the main hall, facing Shang Yinreng with his hands behind his back, he stood outside the door waiting to be interviewed.Seeing Minzhi coming out, someone changed his disgusted expression before and smiled gently: "So the younger siblings are inside, how does Madam Huang feel?" Shouldn't you ask the Empress Dowager how she is feeling instead of asking how her body is?
However, because Yinfeng was standing in front of him, Minzhi didn't dare to spend too much time thinking about it, so he calmed down: "Second brother, An, if you go back to second brother, Huang Mama is still burning, and her spirits are not very good, second brother Do you want to go in and say hello?" Yinfeng nodded: "Xiaoba is not in the capital, you have to visit Huang Mamo more for him, she will be happy." Minzhi bowed her knees: "This is my duty , I'm going to pay my respects to Er Niang, and don't bother my second brother." After speaking, he bent his knees, held Mo Shuang's hand, turned and left.She didn't see it, but Yinfeng smiled playfully at her back.

When I met Concubine Hui at Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Hui also sighed when talking about the Empress Dowager's illness: "As juniors, we can only follow the empress dowager's wishes. I hope that the gods and Buddhas will bless her, and she can turn danger into good luck." " Minzhi frowned: "So, is it true that you won't send a message to Huang Ama? My daughter-in-law just went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and her old man's spirit is no longer what it used to be."

Concubine Hui heard the words and sighed: "This palace is in such a situation now, I don't care about many thoughts, everything depends on the Queen Mother and the concubine's sister. I know that you are kind-hearted and worry about the Queen Mother. But you must also pay attention to your identity, don't Put the cart before the horse and break the rules."

Minzhi shivered, don't break the rules?The queen mother told her not to enter the palace, Yinfeng asked her to go to the palace more to accompany the queen mother, and concubine Hui told her that she had nothing to do with herself and put it on her head. What was going on here? What about the mystery?Coming out of Zhongcui Palace, Minzhi went to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Liang was helpless, but like Yinfeng, she advised Minzhi to go to Shouning Palace and Shouning Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother and relieve her depression.

Therefore, Minzhi was torn between entering the palace or not. On this day, Wu Fujin handed over a post and asked her to enter the palace with her to greet the Queen Mother. Minzhi excused that Hongyan had a slight cough and she was worried, The request was pushed back a few days.The Empress Dowager didn't summon her, and Wu Fujin and Concubine Yi had never been close, so she couldn't just enter the palace without a summons.Therefore, in order to enter the palace, Minzhi, who has a "special pass" on the contract, is required.As a result, Minzhi was struggling, so she delayed the matter.

However, no one knew that such a delay would lead to a major event.In the afternoon, someone from the inner court came suddenly and brought an imperial decree, saying it was the Queen Mother's decree. Xuan Minzhi and his children went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.And enter the palace immediately.Minzhi didn't think too much, and brought her two children to the carriage that came to pick her up, and entered the palace. The maid led her to the side hall of Shouning Palace, but found that she was not the only one, except Yinrong's Fujin and Yinreng's Fujin. In addition, all the other princes, Fujin, were present, even the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu, who had just married in December last year, was also there.

Yinlu made a marriage a few years ago. The Guo Luoluo clan of Fujin is Yinzhen's little cousin, and also a beautiful girl in the same batch as the Nian clan and Wang clan. She is fifteen years old and five years younger than Yinlu.She is also the youngest daughter of Concubine Yi's mother's family.When the imperial decree came down, Yinzhen found Yinlu and sympathetically gave him a spoiler, Guo Luoluo Wanning, she didn't have any advantage of the name, she was the devil in the family, because the sisters of the same generation in the family had already married, some The children are older than her.

Her playmates at home are all her juniors, and she has always been called aunt and aunt at home. Over time, she has really developed to the point of being unruly and self-willed and refusing to listen to anyone's words. Concubine Yi is also worried about her marriage. To vaccinate Kangxi, this little niece must not be selected.

It’s okay if I don’t say anything about the result, but when I said it, Kangxi really paid attention to it and asked Concubine Tong to leave a sign during the primary election, and met her in person during the re-election, but this girl was unrestrained in front of the emperor’s uncle and went straight His temper made the court ladies and eunuchs present extremely ashamed.Kangxi, however, was overjoyed, and said to Concubine Yi, who kept wiping away her sweat, "Her name is Wanning? I like this child, just like Concubine Ai's feelings back then." Concubine Yi was delighted and surprised at the same time.

But what Kangxi said next made her dumbfounded: "Among my many princes, only Yinlu has been quiet since he was a child, he likes poetry and books, and he is proficient in literature and ink. It’s good to change Shiliu’s temperament.” At this point, he actually laughed: “Wanning is a good name, these two characters are exactly the Yan Ruyu that Shiliu likes.”

Concubine Yi looked at Kangxi's happy expression when he plotted against her son, and couldn't help but mourn for Yinlu and her niece.Wanning's name is just for show, and it doesn't match her personality at all. Wanning married Yinlu, and when she is still and moving, either her niece is driven crazy or Yinlu Yinlu is driven crazy.

After much deliberation, Concubine Yi decided to ask Yinlu to confess and be lenient. She asked Yinzhen to bring Yinlu to a "chance encounter" with Wanning in the Royal Garden, and something happened that surprised Yinzhen. Wanning saw the big cousin Next to my brother was a tall and tall young man with a face like a crown of jade. The key point was that this young man also posed in a refined style with his left hand holding the book and his right hand cut behind his back, which made Wanning's eyes red.

Unexpectedly, he walked forward slowly, came a standard Wanfu gift, and called his cousin in a sweet voice, Yinzhen couldn't help running away, digging his ears thinking he was hallucinating, and looking again, the little cousin saluted herself , but stared at the sixteenth brother with salivating eyes, suddenly felt that the world was magical.Yinlu was very embarrassed by him, and bowed his hands: "I'm Yinlu, I met the girl."

The thing that made Yinzhen even more astonished was still to come. When Yinlu greeted Wanning, Wanning hid behind Yinzhen, poked her head out and continued to look at Yinlu with a blushing face: "I know, you are the emperor's uncle. My son, like my cousin, the emperor's uncle said... hey, I won't tell you!" After speaking, he ran away quickly regardless of wearing the bottom of the flower pot.

Yinzhen is ashamed: "Sixteenth brother, don't look at me, this is my mother's idea, of course, don't blame my mother, it's Huang Ama's intention to promise you Wanning..." Yinlu Looking at the direction in which Wanning was running, she looked at the book in her hand: "Wanning? She's an interesting woman." Yinzhen's black thread: "Yes, it's interesting, it's really interesting."

What Concubine Yi didn't expect was that after the engagement, Wanning went home to be married, and the family sent a message that the girl's personality changed drastically. In the study, Lian Minzhi learned about the anecdote because one day Yinzhen came to ask her for a painting, saying that her cousin admired her calligraphy and painting skills, and asked her to copy a painting.

Only then did Minzhi know that the girl was the future [-]th Fujin, so she drew a painting of "Amphibious Butterfly" and gave it to Wanning.Let her learn how to embroider and just use it as a sample.Later, when Minzhi went to drink Yinlu's wedding wine, the bride secretly showed her the pillow embroidered with "Amphibious Butterfly". Minzhi comforted the nervous little girl: "Sixteen will like it, just because it's you. Made it by hand."
