A Thousand Hills

Chapter 246

Xie Moru suddenly went to the Wanmei Palace, and the sisters-in-law were a little surprised, mainly because today is the third baptism of the eleventh prince and the twelve prince, which is a lively occasion for the royal women to attend, and Xie Moru has not yet arrived , It's just that the servant sent a gift.However, everyone is well-informed, and they all know that the fourth prince and the fifth prince knocked on the palace door in the early morning and tossed Prime Minister Su into the palace. Civil and military are full of meat and vegetables, and they are still in a daze. Many people haven't recovered yet.However, it seems that the fourth prince and the fifth prince are not happy either, and the face of the fourth prince and concubine is not very good.It's just that the fourth prince and concubine always kept the etiquette, no matter how unhappy she was, she would always come.Xie Moru has a big temper, she is not happy, no one will give face, no, no one came.

This matter, other princes and concubines can't do it, Xie Moru did it without any psychological pressure at all.

Empress Dowager Hu murmured a few words about Xie Moru in dissatisfaction, and then took the words gently and skillfully to Concubine Xie. Concubine Xie had a smile on her lips, "On the day of great joy, we will also be honored by your mother to meet the little prince. Listen What about children who look like powder balls, our royal family is getting more and more prosperous!" The Queen Mother Hu was very happy.

The mothers and concubines of the eleventh and twelve princes are not of high background, but the two little princes were born on the same day, which is really rare, and the old Mu family is most looking forward to having many children and grandchildren, so the three baptisms were quite lively .Except for Xie Moru, everyone who could come came.

When the three baptisms were over, the Crown Princess invited a few sister-in-laws to sit in the East Palace. Ever since the Crown Prince toured the south, the news about the Crown Princess was a bit blocked. For example, she only knew about the sixth concubine last year.Therefore, the princess pays great attention to the communication with her sisters-in-law.The Crown Princess invites you, and everyone naturally has to respond. Everyone knows that the Crown Prince is in the limelight, but the Fourth Prince and Concubine bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive me, the Crown Princess, I am a little tired, so I will go back first." If the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Nan'an It's just a dispute of political opinions, the fourth concubine would not be so disrespectful to the concubine, the prince has done too much, if the crime of Marquis Nan'an is true, Marquis Nan'an will die, where will the concubine four go Donggong spoke.

The Crown Princess knew the fourth concubine's heart disease, so she didn't force the fourth concubine to stay, she just smiled, "Okay, the fourth siblings can rest well." The other eldest concubine Cui, the third concubine Chu, and the sixth concubine Tie went over. Donggong spoke.

The refreshments at the Crown Princess's place are of course very good. Everyone talked about today's baptism and having a cup of tea. The Crown Princess smiled, "It's nothing else, but I got a few good horses recently. I thought , you will be here today, we just share one share, but the fifth sibling didn't come."

The eldest concubine Cui said, "On the sixth sibling's birthday, the fifth sibling said they were free and wanted to live in the suburbs for a few days, and they did."

The sixth concubine, Tie Shi, lowered her head and sipped her tea, thinking that the relationship between the eldest sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law was not bad in the past, but why the elder sister-in-law said such things today, it was obvious that the fifth sister-in-law didn't even have the prince to do three ceremonies in order to go to the suburbs for leisure. join.If this word gets out, what will people think about Sister-in-law Wu?In the past few years when Tie married into the royal family, she also knew a little about Cui, and said that Cui has always been generous, and today's behavior is very abnormal.Tie's relationship with Xie Moru has always been good, so he brought the conversation back and said, "Didn't it mean that Fifth Sister-in-law is not feeling well, the children also went to Wanmei Palace together, they must have gone with Shiji."

Tie Shi is a perceptive person, and when he mentioned Wanmei Palace, his sister-in-law Cui Shi's complexion seemed to get worse.The Tie family understood a little bit. It is said that Zhao Guogong stole the Mei Palace of Wanmei Palace. This matter has been brought up again recently. After all, Zhao Guogong's mansion is the eldest prince's family. face?I think the eldest prince is unhappy because of this, no wonder the elder sister-in-law is somewhat angry.It's just that Zhao Guogong stole the plum tree, and he didn't care at all.If you do this, you will lose your status.Tie continued to drink his tea with his head down, and stopped talking.

The third prince Chu took over the words and said, "Is there anything good the Crown Princess can give us, I'm really itchy right now."

The Crown Princess Wu originally wanted to inquire and see if these sisters-in-law knew the reason why the fourth and fifth princes knocked on the palace gate in the middle of the night.Wu ordered the palace servants to take out the clothing materials, and everyone started talking about the clothing materials.

The rank of the crown princess is here. There are some materials that the princes and concubines do not have, but the crown princess does.Crown princesses have always been generous, whether it is the faint fourth concubine Hu Shi, or Xie Moru who will participate in the prince's three feasts in the future palace, everyone has a share.

Empress Dowager Hu of the Charity Palace was talking to her daughter, Princess Wenkang, "Why didn't your grandmother come, she also likes to be lively." The old lady Shou'an gave birth to a daughter who would give birth to a son, and mothers are more expensive than daughters, so she exploded all of a sudden. Since then, he has become a first-class figure in the circle of relatives and nobles.Like her own daughter, Queen Mother Hu, although she has been wealthy for decades, Mrs. Shou'an still has some problems of showing off in the crowd.On such a lively day, Mrs. Shou'an is also a flatterer, so she will definitely come despite being dazzled and deaf now.

Princess Wenkang was afraid that my mother would be worried, so she didn't tell her about the dispute between the crown prince and the Marquis of Nan'an. She just said, "My grandmother is in her eighties. In such a hot day, some old people are too lazy to move."

"The eldest princess should also be there." After the queen mother finished speaking, she felt that the eldest princess Ning Rong was not in the mood for fear, and the queen mother knew something about King Jingjiang.Empress Dowager Hu said again, "Why didn't Mrs. Cheng Engong come?" None of her family members showed up, and Empress Dowager Hu felt that something was wrong when she said it, and said to her daughter, "Is there something wrong with your grandparent's house?"

"What's the matter? You're here. Who dares to be mean to others?" Princess Wenkang said, "Brother Cheng En is a low-key person. Since he became a prince, he has never been willing to show off. A wash like this The three ceremonies are not the full moon wine. People must invite their relatives and nobles to order. The three rituals are always attended by the royal family. First, it is the mother and then you insist on the grandparents. Now that the grandmother is old, the elderly are afraid of the cold It's hot, and Aunt Ning Rong is also lazy to go out. The mother-in-law and the mother-in-law of Cheng En's cousin have to take care of her, and there are many children and grandchildren at the bottom. Say, don’t come if you don’t come. If you come one by one to see the ceremony, she is also the last seat. It’s not as good as during the full moon wine, the orders are all there, and there are so many people. It’s not too conspicuous for them to come.”

Empress Dowager Hu has always been easy to fool, so after thinking about it, she said, "It makes sense."

Princess Wenkang only thought that it was because of the matter between the crown prince and the Marquis of Nan'an that Duke Cheng'en's mansion was in bad luck and Fang didn't come, but she didn't think that it was Mrs. Shou'an who was ill.

Moreover, the disease is not serious.

Every three to five days, people are not very good.

Cheng Engong didn't go to court any more, and he devoted himself to serving the sick at home.When Emperor Mu Yuan heard about this, he sent his Imperial Physician Dou to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion. Imperial Physician Dou returned to the palace and said, "The old lady is worrying too much, and it is an anxiety disorder. The weather is hot, the anger is rising, and the old man is on the verge of death." Years and years, this inflammation exists in the heart for a while, but it can't spread out, so it becomes a symptom."

After hearing this, Emperor Mu Yuan said, "Go to Wanmei Palace and show King Min, he doesn't seem to be very comfortable."

Doctor Dou quickly took orders.

Imperial Physician Dou, as the exclusive imperial physician of Emperor Mu Yuan, has no friendship with the princes. However, when Xie Moru and the fifth prince built the Wendao Hall in the southern suburbs, in order to improve the overall planning of the Wendao Hall, they built a medical hall next to the Wendao Hall. At that time, the medical center invited Dou's family members to attend the consultation.Where is Wen Daotang? Everyone talks and laughs, and there is no white man in their contacts.In this place, how many people have sharpened their heads and wanted to open a museum or a building, but there is no such way.

Of course, when the Dou family was called to sit in the southern suburbs, the Wendao Hall had just been built, and it was not as lively as it is now, but because of the bustle today, Imperial Physician Dou knew that his family had inherited the favor of the King of Fujian.

Now that the emperor has an order, Imperial Physician Dou went there in fear.

Wanmei Palace is built on the mountain, which is a palace handed down from the previous dynasty. Needless to say, the scenery, passing through the winding paths, passing the pavilions and wading through the flowing water, the imperial doctor Dou followed the maid who led the way to a majestic and magnificent place. This is Wanmei Palace. The main hall of the palace.The Dou family has practiced medicine for generations, Imperial Physician Dou remembers that when he was young, he came to Wanmei Palace with his grandfather. At that time, the Mu family was not in charge, and this Wanmei Palace was still the residence of Princess Mingyue of the previous dynasty.Later, the dynasties changed, and the Wanmei Palace was given to Princess Fusheng, and now it is passed on to Princess Min.

Just looking at how many times this palace has changed hands, it is a history of rise and fall.

Imperial Physician Dou is also gray-haired now, and he also brought his grandson here, but Xiao Dou failed to go in, and was stopped by the maid at the door.Imperial Physician Dou didn't dare to ask more questions, took the medicine box carried by his grandson and carried it on his own, followed the maid who led the way into the inner hall.

Upon entering the palace, Imperial Physician Dou first smelled the faint fragrance of hibiscus. July is the season when hibiscus blooms. Imperial Physician Dou stared down at the floor tiles, saluted respectfully, and heard a rather indifferent The voice said, "Physician Dou doesn't need to be polite, Your Highness is feeling a little uncomfortable, please prescribe some medicine."

Imperial Physician Dou was a little confused, this, this has to be seen first before prescribing a prescription.Not to mention imperial physicians, even folks who practice medicine in the streets and alleys must have felt the pulse before prescribing prescriptions.Prescribing a prescription is not an easy task. Doctors have to sign their own names on the prescription. If something goes wrong, they will be jointly and severally liable in the future. Doctor Dou has a bad heart, so he must calm down and continue to be respectful. He asked, "Young lady, what is your highness feeling uncomfortable, can you ask the old minister to ask for your highness' pulse?"

"I caught a cold in the morning, but it's been hot these few days, and I got hot again. Your Highness's wrist is not feeling well, so I'll prescribe some medicinal wine."

Imperial Physician Dou thought about it carefully, but he had never done anything wrong with Princess Min and King Min. He also knew that there were many royal secrets. That's it.Imperial Physician Dou asked for a pen and paper, thought for a moment, and prescribed a non-heavy warming and tonic prescription, and offered it with both hands, the maid stepped forward to take it, Xie Moru looked at the back and said, "Three days later, I will have to trouble Imperial Physician Dou to leave again." Once."

Doctor Dou bowed and said, "Yes."

Xie Moru stayed with Imperial Physician Dou to drink a cup of tea and sent him away.

It's going to be a change of person, I don't know how to be frightened, and at the same time, countless conspiracies and tricks about Princess Fujian and King Fujian come up in my mind. It is true that the ancestors have been doing this business for generations, and they are more experienced.There are some experiences in various fields.

Imperial Physician Dou returned to the palace and reported to Emperor Mu Yuan about the Wanmei Palace without any hesitation.Emperor Mu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Shut up on this matter."

Imperial Physician Dou knew that the matter of the King of Fujian must be a secret, and he didn't dare to say anything else. He bowed his head and said "yes" again. Seeing that Emperor Mu Yuan had no more orders, he bowed and retreated.

Imperial Physician Dou doesn't care about his rank, but he is only the fifth rank, but his position is to walk in front of the imperial court, and his importance is no less than that of an important minister in the court.Doctor Dou’s visit to Wanmei Palace was soon noticed by some discerning people. At first everyone thought that the fifth prince was pretending to be sick. The main reason was that the fifth prince had done this before. He was reprimanded by His Majesty with the prince, and the fifth prince did not enter the palace for a few days, saying that he was ill.At that time, everyone still said that the fifth prince deserved to be a couple with Princess Xie, and his temper was big enough.This time, the fifth prince knocked on the palace gate in the early morning. You already know what you should know. In connection with the several imperial decrees that caught people off guard in the early morning, and the faint expression of the fourth prince, everyone infers that the fourth prince and the fifth prince He must have said something about Jiangnan, otherwise His Majesty would not have made the following arrangements for Jiangnan.As for what the two princes said, it is not simple, it must be related to Nan'anhou.How many days has the fourth prince's face been stinking because of Nan'anhou's matter?However, it is obvious that the two princes did not get any good reputation in front of the imperial court, because the face of the fourth prince was gloomy and indifferent throughout the early court. As for the fifth prince, he did not go to the early court, and went directly to Wanmei Palace .Therefore, many people thought that the fifth prince must have suffered in front of the imperial court and felt embarrassed, so he took his wife and children to the suburbs for leisure in a fit of anger.

No, Princess Xie didn't attend the three baptisms of the eleventh and twelve princes.

As for Concubine Xie, it goes without saying that this person has a bigger temper than the Fifth Prince.

Of course, some people speculated whether something really happened.

Otherwise, why did His Majesty recall the crown prince and Marquis of Nan'an back to the imperial capital?

Everyone guesses, and it's just a guess. No one dares to go to Wanmei Palace to ask the truth?

However, except for the Xie family.

Xie Shangshu immediately smelled something different. Hearing that Imperial Physician Dou had gone to Wanmei Palace, Xie Shangshu immediately ordered his eldest grandson Xie Zhi, "Go to pay your respects to His Highness, and also go to see your eldest sister. During the handover of Xia Qiu , It is indeed easy to get sick, let your big sister also take care of herself." He said to the old wife, "Clean up some nourishing medicinal materials at home."

Mrs. Xie agreed, and said, "These are ready-made, but, should I also go to see the princess together?"

Xie Shangshu said, "That's fine, you can go too, and forgive the princess's heart. Doctor Dou's medical skills are excellent. Your Highness is still young, so take care of it for a few days, and you will surely recover."

Because it was to visit a doctor, Xie Zhi asked for leave with the palace, and went to the mountain with his grandmother the next day.

Both grandparents and grandchildren have been to this Wanmei Palace, but every time they come, they have to sigh for the exquisiteness of the palace here.The grandmother and concubine Xie Moru met in the side hall. After seeing the ceremony, they sat down and served tea. Afterwards, Mrs. Xie talked about the condition of the fifth prince, "I heard that your highness is not healthy, and Azhi and I brought some medicinal materials over here. , those that can be used and those that are not are all for warming. Empress, just rest assured, Imperial Physician Dou is one of the best imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, and His Highness will recover quickly."

"Thank you grandma." Xie Moru said, "Your Highness has been busy with government affairs these days, and he hasn't had a good rest for several months. Now he has to rest. I just said, there is no way to be busy with the affairs of the court. When the time comes, the body is yours after all, let him take care of it, if he won't listen, let's take care of it now."

Xie Moru's gentle voice seemed to carry a little sarcasm, Mrs. Xie wondered if the fifth prince really hit a wall in front of His Majesty, and he still didn't get it right. However, His Majesty sent Imperial Physician Dou to examine the Fifth Highness in person. , His Highness the Fifth Prince doesn't seem to be falling out of favor.Mrs. Xie pondered in her heart, and hurriedly persuaded Xie Moru, "Your Highness is not feeling well and is about to recuperate. Your Majesty needs to be more patient. The sick person is delicate. The old saying is good, sweet words will warm me three winters, and your Majesty is obviously With a good heart, you worry about His Highness's health wholeheartedly, no matter how anxious you are, you have to speak well. This husband and wife must be considerate and accommodate each other, right?"

Xie Moru said, "Don't talk about these spoilers, I get angry when I think about it." These words almost didn't scare Mrs. Xie to death, Xie Moru got angry, and nothing he did was not earth-shattering, like the previous episode. Regarding the slapping of the two princes, although Xie's family did not have a daughter to marry, the situation for daughters of the Xie family's collateral line has also turned from hot to cold. Anyone who is married to a daughter of Xie's family must first ask, daughter-in-law Do you know martial arts?
Mrs. Xie was afraid that Xie Moru's temper would come up and he would be ashamed with the fifth prince, which would affect his relationship with the lost wife.Just as the old man wanted to persuade her, Xie Moru said, "Is Yong Geer okay?" Yong Geer is Xie Zhi's eldest son, named Xie Yong.

Xie Zhi said that his son was full of smiles and said, "It's naughty. He wakes up at three o'clock in the morning. If he wakes up, he will howl and make the whole yard uneasy. After changing several wet nurses, he can't coax him down. If he has to make trouble, he will Stop howling."

Xie Moru smiled, "Children have tempers, and they miss their parents. No matter how considerate a nurse is, it's different."

Xie Zhi said, "I don't know what kind of temper it is, sometimes if I insist on hugging, I immediately urinate as soon as I hug, pissing on me several times."

Xie Moru laughed softly when he heard this, Mrs. Xie also laughed, "This is because I like you, the child's urine is medicinal material, to ward off evil spirits." Talking about the illness once, and then talking about the child, both grandparents and grandchildren saw Xie Moru's complexion and mood. That's right, I guessed that the fifth prince was probably not important, so I heard Xie Moru ask Xie Zhi, "Is there any movement in the court?"

Xie Zhi was a little surprised, but quickly regained his composure, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty reprimanded Queen Jingjiang, summoned the East Palace and Marquis of Nan'an to return to the court, and ordered Wu Guogong to act as the Governor-General temporarily. Everyone discussed it. We have started a war with Jingjiang."

"Nothing else?" Xie Moru continued to ask.

Mrs. Xie saw her eldest grandson's brows slightly twisted, and said, "What aspect is your empress talking about?"

Xie Moru pointed at Xie Zhi, "The imperial capital is in the army."

Xie Zhi suddenly realized, and said, "I heard from my grandfather that after His Majesty summoned the commanders of the four camps defending the imperial capital to meet, he ordered them to go to the army. I don't know the details about the deployment of troops and horses. If the elder sister wants to I know, I'll go back and inquire about one or two."

"It doesn't have to be."

Xie Moru didn't say much, because the "fifth prince" was ill, and he didn't leave his grandmother and younger brother to eat, so he sent them back.
