Back to ancient times to open obstetrics

Chapter 695 The eldest princess is sick (5)
The three of them only said that the carriage had already entered Zhengyang Gate.The servants of the palace waited outside the palace gate as usual, and took the three of them into the Shoukang Palace of the Empress Dowager in a few small sedan chairs.

Mother Rong just entered the door, and saw two palace maids kneeling straight at the palace gate, huddling their bodies with tears on their faces.The eunuch held a long whip in his hand, and whipped it down once, the maid bit her lip and shook it, but she didn't dare to shout out, for fear of disturbing the people inside.

Rong Momo just stepped forward and asked: "I've only been out for half a day, what's the matter?" The little eunuch said: "Returning to Mammy, these two maids are clumsy, they just brought water to the Empress Dowager, and they wet the Empress Dowager." Not to mention the empress dowager's clothes, she almost made the empress dowager fall. Eunuch Xia said, first of all, each person will be given ten lashes, and then they will be driven outside the hall to serve."

After hearing what he said, Mother Rong looked at the two maids again, and only asked, "What's going on?"

The two palace maids cried and said: "The empress dowager is lying there, and the servants are serving on the side. When the empress dowager asked for tea, the servants happened not to see it. The empress dowager poured a cup of tea by herself when she saw that the coffee table was at hand. Thinking of dropping the teapot when putting it on, the servant girl came back to her senses at this moment and went to pick up the teapot, but the Empress Dowager slipped off the imperial concubine bed because her legs and feet were inconvenient."

Taking care of the handicapped is a labor-intensive task. Nanny Rong has been by the empress dowager's side for a long time, so she naturally knew it, so she just gave them both a look and said, "Ten lashes are not enough. If the empress dowager falls, what will happen?" , you don’t have to wait in Yongshou Palace anymore.”

Here, Nanny Rong took the old concubine and Liu Qiqiao in, while the empress dowager had already changed into a new dress and was lying on the imperial couch. She heard Nanny Rong say, "Let's just teach you a lesson, and Xiao Xia is too nervous." Yes, they usually serve well, but they are just negligent once in a while."

After the empress dowager had gone through a life-and-death situation, she seemed to be more lenient towards others, but Nanny Rong said: "How can I do that, today it's just a glass of warm water, but if it's a glass of boiling water tomorrow, wouldn't it scald you, the empress dowager?" In my opinion, the two of them still have to learn a lot of lessons."

Seeing the old concubine coming, the empress dowager hurriedly said: "The guests are here, and you are still shouting for beating and killing, why don't you give me a seat." At this time, two court ladies hurriedly brought a chapter chair up, and the old concubine sat on it. After getting down, Liu Qiqiao stepped forward to salute the empress dowager.

The empress dowager said: "I'm just idle, and I want to ask if you have any new stories recently. A few days ago, when my eldest sister entered the palace, she said that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, and someone delivered a child on the street. , I reckoned that this person should be from your Prince Gong's residence, so Baba invited him here."

Liu Qiqiao hurriedly lowered her head, lamenting more and more that the circle in the capital is too small, how could such a trivial matter reach the ears of the empress dowager.
