Lin Gongzi medicine jar

This year's winter solstice should be the same as in previous years, but unfortunately the Queen Mother is getting old, her body is not very refreshed, she has not recovered from the wind and cold, the palace is tense, and the army who went to Shanxi can't come back, the taste of the new year will be weak up.

Thinking that the old grandparents and teachers at home were not a few years younger than the Queen Mother, they also had some headaches one after another, so they took the time to make some herbal medicine bags to keep the cold and warm up, and sent them to the Hou Mansion and Bai Mansion, with ginger Tea to drink.

They made some and gave it to Prince Rui's Mansion, and sent the rest to Shanxi, where it was probably colder than here.

The Empress Dowager's illness is not serious, but it can become a disease over time. It seems that it is getting worse day by day. The imperial physician has never stopped, and the soup and medicine have been changed. The angry roar of the emperor can be heard from time to time.

"Go down to me, and get another recipe!"

It is not easy to be an imperial doctor. The queen mother is old, and her body functions are not getting better day by day.It's just that the emperor wouldn't listen to these words, so he could only have troubles that he couldn't explain clearly, so he retreated tremblingly to discuss a solution, but he also knew in his heart that even if he survived this time, it would only be two years.

"The emperor doesn't need to be angry, the Ai family knows well, it's time to see the late emperor and your brother..."

The Empress Dowager lying on the bed opened her eyes and held Xia Jingdi who was full of anger. She saw that the hand that had been maintained had suddenly become thinner due to illness, but her cloudy eyes were reluctant and calm, which made Xia Jingdi feel sad for a while. , Suppressing the grief, said: "Mother, you must take care of yourself, son, son, son still needs you, and let them wait a little longer, a few more years."

Emperor Xia Jing held the Empress Dowager's hand and pressed it to his face. Feeling the heat and humidity, her eyes became more gentle and loving. She tried her best to wipe the moisture for her son, and said softly, "We mother and son are talking."

Emperor Xia Jing got up and glanced at the palace servants who were waiting on both sides. After the latter bowed and left quickly, he sat down in front of the Empress Dowager's bed. Seeing the Empress Dowager struggling to get up, he put down the soft pillow and leaned against it. Behind the empress dowager, he carefully raised his upper body and gently let her lean on the soft pillow.

After finishing all this, the queen mother obviously gasped twice, then let her breath go, and looked at Emperor Xia Jing quietly.

"Whatever the queen mother wants to say, just ask, the son will never refuse." Emperor Xia Jing said very cautiously.

The queen mother pursed her lips slightly, with a slight smile in her eyes, and said softly: "For a while, the King of Hades will not want Ai's house to go, the emperor doesn't have to."

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Jing obviously relaxed his shoulders, the Empress Dowager looked at the outer hall, and said slowly: "In my whole life, I was raised like a jewel like a jewel, and only in the first few years when I was sent to the palace. I suffered a bit... At that time, I was angry, but now I think it's just a small hurdle."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of pride in her eyes, "You brothers grew up safely, and you became emperor, I will achieve the ultimate in a woman's life, and I will never be dissatisfied... The only regret is that the white-haired person sent me Black-haired man, half of his heart was emptied at once..."

Speaking of the youngest son, he couldn't help feeling sad, tears streaming down his face, Emperor Xia Jing hurriedly took out his handkerchief, and hurriedly wiped away the tears for the queen mother, "It's all the son's fault, he didn't take good care of brother Rui, and made the queen mother sad, Blame me if you want."

Although it has been nearly six years, the mother and child are connected, and the death of the youngest son has dealt a huge blow to the old queen.The queen mother shook her head, "It's no wonder you, it's all fate. God sees that I'm going so well, so I have to take away some blessings, but why don't you take me away, your brother is still young! Cough cough..."

Emperor Xia Jing also burst into tears in an instant: "Mother! Don't think like this, Brother Rui doesn't want to see you like this when he is alive."

"You..." The Empress Dowager raised her hand to touch the top of Emperor Xia Jing's head, patted the top of her hair along the dragon crown, and comforted her: "I am so sad, if Ai's family leaves like this, you will really die." Becoming alone."

No, there are so many women in the harem, which one would really do it for him, maybe there is, but he doesn't know and dare not open his heart.Several sons, the older one is bigger, the younger one is younger, the older one is more and more idiot, the younger one can't see the qualifications, and it is difficult for him to decide what the future will be.

Only the queen mother will wholeheartedly treat the person on the throne.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia Jing grabbed the Queen Mother's hand even more, and begged: "Mother, please don't abandon your son, the only son is you!"

The Queen Mother nodded with tears in her eyes.

After a while, a soft voice sounded from the curtain of the outer hall, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's medicine has arrived."

As soon as the words fell, Princess Jing'an walked in softly with a tray.

"Give it to me." Princess Jing'an knelt down slowly in front of the emperor, and stood aside quietly with downcast eyes after the medicine bowl in the tray was taken away.

Emperor Xia Jing fed the medicine to the queen mother, and saw a small dish of candied fruit appearing in front of him. He looked up at Jing'an, then took a piece for the queen mother to remove the bitterness, and put the empty medicine bowl on the tray.

Princess Jing'an glanced worriedly at the Empress Dowager, who happened to see her with loving eyes, her nose suddenly sore, and she backed away gently.

After drinking the medicine, she seemed to be relieved. The Queen Mother said: "I am a person who can go at any time, and I still have some things to worry about. If there is an emergency, the emperor must take it to heart."

The emperor tilted his ears slightly.

"This child, Jing'an, is not the granddaughter of the Ai family's direct relatives, but in the five years since he entered the palace, he has been with the Ai family day and night, and has been serving him obediently and obediently. In my heart, I already think of her as a granddaughter, this lonely one, if Ai's family leaves, this child doesn't know what to do, emperor, she should be filial piety this year, Hua Xin has been delayed, and there is no longer any delay. "

The Empress Dowager said that Emperor Xia Jing also found out and was quite satisfied with the girl in his heart, so he said: "When Jingyi comes back, I will propose marriage."

Emperor Xia Jing didn't know that Zhao Jingyi had already confessed to the Queen Mother, he just thought that the six-year filial piety period for Princess Jing'an was too long, Zhao Jingyi couldn't afford to wait, and the Queen Mother also said that she let nature take its course and didn't refer to the marriage, so there is nothing wrong with bringing it up now of.

Then the Empress Dowager smiled wryly and shook her head, "Don't worry about Jingyi, just choose another young talent."

"Why is that?" Emperor Xia Jing showed surprise on his face.

It was inconvenient for the Queen Mother to say more, but she just said: "Let him decide about Jingyi's marriage." Both of them are good children, they were supposed to be a married couple, but they were accidentally separated.

It seems that there is something hard to say, but the Empress Dowager is weak, and it is inconvenient for Emperor Xia Jing to ask more questions, so he can only agree.

"Jing'an is lonely and weak, and there is no one in Beijing to take care of her. You don't need to look for a prominent family background. You only need to have a clean family background, good character, and a corresponding age."

Emperor Xia Jing was familiar with the younger generation of famous families in Beijing, but he had no impression of such an ordinary one, so he said: "I'm afraid it will have to wait until after Chunwei, I will pay attention to it after the list is released, and let the queen mother see if there are any young talents."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of someone, "By the way, do you still remember Master Bai's closed disciple Lin Xi? The one who saved Rong'er back then. His mother came from the Yongning Hou Mansion, and he was also from a scholarly family. His father He was Tan Hualang for 12 years, and later served as the magistrate in Huaizhou. He was framed and left because he was not afraid of the power and refused to join forces with others. I admire and regret it very much. His family background is innocent. This year is 21, unmarried, and Jing An's age is also appropriate."

After the queen mother said this, she recalled that she had seen this young man before, and she had a good impression at that time.

"Knowing medical skills is good, and doctors are benevolent."

The more Emperor Xia Jing thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, "Master Bai, you know that Lin Xi must have a good character to be his disciple. I heard that his mansion is also very clean. They are all old people brought from Huaizhou. I It is waiting for him to go to high school, and he will be the minister of the humerus in the future."

The queen mother was happy, her pale face turned red, and she just said: "Okay, okay."

Emperor Xia Jing held her hand and said in a low voice: "Jing'an's filial piety period has not yet passed, and the examination will have to wait until the beginning of spring. If Lin Xi wins the Jinshi examination, she will be able to match Jing'an in terms of status. I will give her a marriage at that time, which will be the icing on the cake It’s a beautiful story. So the queen mother must take care of herself, but she has to watch Jing’an’s beautiful and beautiful palace to get married, and her filial piety will only come out, so don’t delay it for her.”

The queen mother nodded again and again.

After talking for so long, she was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep.

Princess Jing'an stood behind the curtain for a long time before regaining consciousness and walking out gradually.

"Princess, it's snowing a lot outside, it's very cold, don't go out." The maid looked worriedly at Princess Jing'an who was lost in thought, and reminded in a low voice.

Princess Jing'an finally came to her senses. She looked at the flying snowflakes and lowered her eyes.

The queen mother is very kind to her, she knows, but the person who is still in the northwest is unforgettable after all...

Emperor Xia Jing recruited the imperial physician, and now the imperial physician changed another prescription, he looked at it and agreed.

It seems that because the queen mother has concerns, or the imperial physician finally found a diagnosis and treatment method, the queen mother's illness gradually stabilized.

Emperor Xia Jing summoned Mr. Bai immediately.

"Xi'er's marriage?" The old Mr. Bai just smiled mysteriously when he saw the summoned eunuch, thinking that something had happened, but he didn't expect...he couldn't laugh or cry.

Emperor Xia Jing nodded and said with a smile: "He is also twenty and one, and most people are already fathers."

Old Mr. Bai shook his head, "This kid is all about studying behind closed doors. He is not keen on this matter. He is used to it."

Emperor Xia Jing thought that was exactly the case, so he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, the Empress Dowager mentioned to me that Princess Jing'an's filial piety is about to pass, let me take a good look at the talents of the right age."

Seeing what Emperor Xia Jing meant, Mr. Bai's heart moved, and then he heard Emperor Xia Jing say again: "Although Jing'an has no relatives, the Empress Dowager treats her as a granddaughter, and I will treat her as a daughter from now on. They are all superior in character, even the princess is not as good. If it is not because of the delay due to filial piety, it is not good to wait any longer, otherwise I will definitely make a good choice."

When Emperor Xia Jing said this, Mr. Bai knew it in his heart, "The princess has a noble status, and I am afraid that there are many people who want to marry him."

"Of course, it's just the empress dowager's reluctance. She has to find someone who knows everything. After thinking about it, I found Master Bai."

It is Lin Xi's dignity that Jing'an Princess can ration her to Lin Xi. Although she is an orphan, the grace of Zhenxi Prince's Mansion is on her. No matter who the new emperor is in the future, there will be no non-favorable treatment.What's more, the prince's son-in-law can't hold real power because of the princess, but the county horse has no such restrictions. Naturally, Lin Xi can rise to the top by relying on Princess Jing'an...

When Mr. Bai thought about it, he was overjoyed and almost wanted to thank the Lord for his kindness, but when he thought that the young apprentice had always been quite assertive, and the second girl of the Bai family would retreat as soon as he said it, he felt a little conflicted.

However, I heard Emperor Xia Jing jokingly said: "Master Bai will hide this boy first, and I will propose marriage after the palace examination, otherwise this status will not look good, and I will be said to treat the hero poorly. Go back and let him prepare well , don’t let your reputation be ruined, let me make a plan for nothing.”

That's fine too, Mr. Bai gladly agreed.
