The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

The former empress of Qianxiang Kingdom, Liu Su, was the last bloodline of the royal family. Unfortunately, she failed to leave a continuation of bloodline for the royal family, so she passed away. Qianxiang Kingdom chose a prince and princess with good qualifications from the side branch of the royal family. Register as Emperor.Although this woman is not as intelligent as Liusu, she is more stable, and soon won the support of her subjects.

For the monarchs and ministers of neighboring countries who alternated their thrones with Da Yuan, it was just a slight change in foreign policy. The envoys who participated in the new emperor's enthronement ceremony meant that Da Yuan recognized the new emperor, and there was no trace of tension between the two countries. ripple.The only anomaly is that Dayuan's Prince Zhongshun contracted a serious illness while traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, and the illness lasted for more than a month.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the lord is suffering from a heart disease and needs to be rectified slowly."

Xiao Rong frowned and looked at the white-bearded imperial doctor standing below, and sighed: "What kind of heart disease is this? He went to the south of the Yangtze River so lively and frantically, and was bedridden when he came back..." Thinking about the beauty of Zhongshun Her face was as pale as paper, and even her cheeks that were originally moist were thinner, and her heart was even more sour.

Imperial Physician Wu frowned, and felt annoyed. If this is a physical illness, he can prescribe the right medicine.But the prince has something on his mind, no matter how good his medical skills are, he might not be able to do it.

Seeing Doctor Wu's embarrassment, Xiao Rong's heart sank, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, you have sent the medicine, tell Ziyan about the things you need to pay attention to in daily life."

"promise."

Ziyan at the side hastily led Imperial Physician Wu to the outer hall.

As soon as the two went out, Nanny Cui walked in with small steps, her face slightly darkened. "Queen."

Seeing this, Xiao Rong wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said worriedly: "But did you find it?"

Nanny Cui nodded, "Well, the news just came over there."

Since Zhongshun fell ill, and others couldn't explain why, Xiao Rong was worried that there was some conspiracy hidden in it, so he arranged for someone to find out the truth, but he couldn't think of such a thing.

After listening to Nanny Cui's report, Xiao Rong couldn't help sighing, and exclaimed: "The word love really hurts people the most. Even Zhen'er's cynical appearance turned out to be trapped by love." Looking at the dark sky outside the window, my heart sank to the bottom, "The queen really..."

Aunt Cui nodded.

If it is still there, no matter how difficult it is, there must be a way to stay together, but the most helpless thing is the eternal separation between man and nature.

Seeing Xiao Rong's sad face, Madam Cui wondered whether she should tell what happened next, if she didn't tell her, wouldn't she be accused of disloyalty if her master knew the truth in the future?

"Queen Mother, the slave has something to report."

Xiao Rong nodded, indicating to continue talking.

Nanny Cui lowered her head and said softly, "The other side said that the emperor's people are also investigating this matter."

Xiao Rong was surprised when he heard this, "Emperor? How did he intervene in this matter?"

"The slave doesn't know."

Xiao Rong had guessed the relationship between Zhongshun and Empress Qianxiang as a joke, but he didn't want to learn from it.As for whether the emperor was aware of the relationship between the two before, I am afraid that only he himself knows.If it was in the past, Xiao Rong himself would probably only regard this relationship as the most common pair of infatuated men and women in the world. Now that he sits in this position, he has to add some worries to his considerations, not to mention the emperor's love. The location is the most sensitive, and he's probably thinking about more...

Zhongshun's illness has been good and bad all the time. Fortunately, when the weather is getting hotter, he can already get out of bed.When Xiao Rong heard the news, he was so happy that he wanted to run out of the palace to see for himself, but he was reported that the loyal beauty had already entered the palace.

"This child, why is he so disregarding his own body?" Xiao Rong's eyes turned red again with joy, his voice choked up slightly.

The crowd greeted Zhong Shun just as they entered the door, Xiao Rong couldn't help but greet him.

The loyal and obedient beauty was wearing a blue robe of sitting dragon and boa, obviously she had just come down from court.

Looking at Zhongshun's pale face, he said distressedly: "Look at you tossing your body, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Aijia's worries. Aijia can't eat well these days, and can't sleep well. I was worried about your bones, it can be seen that you are finally better."

Zhongshun forced a smile and said: "The son is not filial, and the queen mother is worried."

Seeing this smile, Xiao Rong felt even more sad. He stretched out his hand and took Zhong Shun's arm and walked up to the upper seat, saying as he walked, "You are not in good health yet, hurry up and sit down first."

As soon as the two sat down, Ziyan came over with a cup of soup, and there was a slight sweetness in the face.

Ziyan skillfully put the decoction on the table on Zhongshun's right.

Zhongshun frowned, "Mother, my son has drank too much decoction these days, and now it smells uncomfortable, so don't let my son drink any more."

Xiao Rong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This is not an ordinary decoction, it is the Yunsi grass just produced in Yu'er's medicine garden. The imperial physicians say that this medicine promotes blood and nourishes Qi, and is suitable for warming. The most valuable thing is that this herb is not as good as ordinary decoctions." The bitter taste is sweet."

Then Zhongshun frowned, stretched out his hand to pick up the medicine bowl, first took a sip, found that it was really sweet and delicious, so he drank it in one gulp.

"This is a good medicine. Anping has a heart."

Xiao Rong said with a smile: "She has become obsessed with this recently, and spends all day tinkering with it. Now she has planted a bunch of strange things in the medicine garden outside the palace, and I don't know if it is of any use."

"Although her garden is suitable for growing medicine, it's just that it's far away from the city. It's inconvenient for people to come and go. There is a garden in the east of Erchen City. It was originally used to grow flowers. Now it's suitable for her to grow medicine."

Xiao Rong waved his hand, and said: "Don't spoil her, she doesn't know when she will lose her interest now, so don't spoil your flowers."

"My son is not interested in this way now, cough cough cough..." Before he finished speaking, he coughed while covering his handkerchief.

Xiao Rong said urgently: "Quickly send the imperial physician!"

Zhongshun hurriedly stopped and said: "Mother, the son and minister are fine, it's just a small problem."

Xiao Rong felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort him. Zhong Shun, who seemed to be playing in the world, became emotional, but he didn't want to be decisive. "Okay, if you don't want to see the imperial doctor, the Ai family will not force you, but you have to obey the Ai family, take good care of yourself, and don't let the Ai family worry about you."

Only then did Zhong Shun bend the beauty's lips, and said with a smile: "Mother, my son will save me."

When the emperor sent someone to invite King Zhongshun, Xiao Rong was cheerfully preparing to have a meal with the beauty, but unexpectedly, he could only watch helplessly as the beauty he cared about day and night was invited away by her unscrupulous son. White Fang almost gnawed into pieces, but the meal didn't make Xiao Rong deserted—good news from Empress Baofei!

"Hey, Xue Baochai has a baby!"

Xiao Rong almost choked on a mouthful of soup. "Cough, cough, cough," Xiao Rong coughed uncomfortably, and the little eunuch who passed the news was trembling tremblingly. It was the first time that the little eunuch regretted that he had snatched such a hot potato from everyone. He thought it was such good news. Rewards are indispensable, but this is the scene I didn't expect.Seeing the chief female officer and the grand maids of Changle Palace busily serving the Empress Dowager who was shocked by the news he brought, I really regretted it.

It is a joyful event to add a baby one after another in the palace, but it is Xue Baochai who added a baby, Xiao Rong is thinking again.Feng Tang's power has been greatly damaged, and Zhongshun has cleaned up Jiangnan, so the current court is naturally clear.Now that Xue Baochai is pregnant, this will definitely make Wang Ziteng the dominant party, and it will be even more difficult to clean up in the future. How can the emperor not let Xue Baochai be pregnant? Could it be that there is some calculation in this?

Although he had doubts in his heart, this superficial effort could not be delayed. Xiao Rong gave Xue Baochai a reward as usual, and asked Nanny Cui to pass on the instructions on his behalf.

When Daiyu came back later, she was accompanied by Chen Moxue.

Both of them have recently become obsessed with herbal medicine, and they share the same interests, and they can't be separated for a moment.Xiao Rong likes these young children getting together, and Chen Moxue is pure in nature and has a lively and lovable personality. Daiyu stays with her every day, and her temperament can be much more cheerful, so she agrees more with the intimacy between the two up.

"All of you have brought back some weird things today. Imperial physician Wu is amazing these days, but the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are busy researching herbal medicine for the princess."

The two looked at each other and stuck out their little tongues mischievously.Chen Moxue said with a smile: "Queen Mother, we are not doing it for ourselves. You see, these herbs can be beneficial to others in the future. Isn't there a saying that 'the predecessors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the shade' we call it 'the predecessors' After planting the medicine, the later generations will take the medicine.'”

Chen Moxue was dressed in silk and silk, she was pretty and cute, and she had a round smile with a rosy glow, which naturally made Xiao Rong happy no matter how she looked.Seeing her say these nonsense words again, I couldn't help crying and laughing, "Why does this sound a bit strange?"

Lin Daiyu frowned, and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the tired faces of both of them, Xiao Rong didn't make fun of it, and just ordered everyone to wait on them so that they could rest.The two bowed their salutes and resigned. Just as they were about to go out, Xiao Rong suddenly thought that Zhongshun Beauty had given Daiyu a garden, and hurriedly said: "I almost forgot to tell you about my memory, Zhener is here today." In the palace."

When Daiyu heard this, she was full of joy and said, "Brother Wang, is heal? When did you come? Can you come tomorrow?"

Xiao Rong said with a smile: "Your body has improved a lot. I drank your herbal medicine today and praised you. I also gave you a garden in the city to grow medicine for you. Go and see if the garden is suitable for you tomorrow. .”

Hearing that Zhongshun had recovered, Daiyu was pleasantly surprised, and also heard that her brother Wang gave her a garden to plant medicine, and she was even more delighted, her little face was red with joy, and she said with a smile: "Go and see tomorrow." , if the mother agrees, I still want to go see Brother Wang."

"Okay, you brothers and sisters are very affectionate, how could the Ai family take it easy and let the guards follow along?"

Daiyu saluted with flowers in her eyes, thanked her, and dragged Chen Moxue to the bedroom.
