The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

Zhongcui Palace

Ying'er led the maids in and out of Zhang Luo, welcoming and sending the ladies from various palaces who came to visit.They had just sent off Mother Cui sent by Xiao Rong, and the crowd calmed down.

In the bedroom, Xue Baochai was dressed in bright yellow and purple pajamas leaning on the soft couch, with her black hair falling down softly, a rare tranquility.

I was overjoyed when I found out I was pregnant.No matter how favored he is in this harem, without the support of his son, it will be difficult to consolidate his position in the future.What's more, if he had no children, his uncle Wang Ziteng would not support him like this.Now it's finally come true.

"Mother, Mother Cui has already gone back." Ying'er walked in softly and slowly, holding a green medicine bowl in her hand.

When Xue Baochai heard the words, there was a sense of depression in her beautiful eyes.

When the woman in Lancui Palace was pregnant, the Empress Dowager went there in person, but as a result, she only sent an old mother over here.The difference between closeness and closeness is also very clear.

Ying'er saw that her master was not feeling well, so she changed her mind for a while, and hurriedly walked over with the medicine bowl, sat on the low stool, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is tonic soup. The imperial doctor said that the little prince is going to have a better life now." Make up for it, and it will grow strong in the future."

Xue Baochai blushed, "Whoever said it was the prince, you, don't say that in the future."

"The servant thinks he is the prince. A master as good as your mother naturally wants to give birth to a prince." Ying'er said mischievously on purpose.

Xue Baochai's eyes slanted slightly, and said: "You have to be careful in this palace, even the prince can't talk about it everywhere."

"Oh, this servant obeys your mother's order. Your mother, please drink the medicine first, it will lose its effect when it gets cold." After speaking, he picked up the medicine bowl and spoon and began to feed the medicine.

Xue Baochai drank the soup slowly, looked out through the half-open Linghua window, and suddenly said: "The one from Lancui Palace should be fast."

Ying'er heard the words and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, I heard that the imperial physician has checked the pulse of the previous son, and she is a princess."

Xue Baochai said with a sneer, "Even if she is a prince, she should have no other hope."

Ever since the Qianshishan incident, Feng Tang couldn't get sick.Feng Baoyi asked for orders to visit the palace many times but was turned away.Feng Baoyi knew that what he had done had hurt his brother's life and his father's heart, but he had no choice.In this harem, if you want to gain a chance for yourself and your children, there is no other way but to kill each other.

Sitting on the soft couch in Lancui Palace, Feng Baoyi closed his eyes, put his hands on his protruding belly, but his face was full of pain and entanglement.Dou Da's cold sweat was accompanied by bouts of raving, obviously trapped in a nightmare.

In the dream, my elder brother was standing in front of me in a blood-clothed suit, staring at me with hatred in his eyes, and yelling bitterly, "Sister, you are so cruel, give me back my life—give me back my life!" Come……"

Feng Baoyi kept retreating while protecting his stomach, and cried while retreating: "Don't come here, brother, please don't hurt my child, brother, don't hurt my child."

Suddenly he stumbled and fell backwards, "Ah—" With a scream, Feng Baoyi finally woke up from his sleep.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Liu'er ran in with a large copper basin, her face full of anxiety and worry.

Putting down the copper basin in his hand, he walked quickly to the couch, seeing Feng Baoyi's face covered with sweat, he said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if there is any discomfort, I will call the imperial physician here."

Feng Baoyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Liu'er, don't go, I'm fine, I'm just a nightmare."

Only then did Liu Er feel relieved, went to the table, picked up the towel in the copper basin and wrung it dry, and went to the bed to wipe the sweat stains on Feng Baoyi's forehead.A slightly worried expression appeared on his face, "Your Majesty, your body is getting heavier now, but you can't sleep well these days. This is not good for your body. Why don't you ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine to soothe the nerves."

Feng Baoyi shook his head, let out a long sigh of relief, and said softly: "The medicine is three-point poisonous, after all, it is not good for children. I have nothing to do with you. You can go to the small kitchen and bring in Yulu. I will use it later. "

"No." Liu'er hurriedly got up and went out.

Seeing Liu'er go out, Feng Baoyi propped himself up and sat on the large lake blue cloud pattern pillow, gently stroking his abdomen. "My dear daughter, you will be the noble eldest princess of our Great Yuan Dynasty in the future, and you will have whatever you want. Your grandfather will forgive us in the future, right?" The queen and Concubine Jia gave birth to princes one after another, and now I don't care if I have a prince or a princess.As long as the child is born safely and grows up, it is the greatest expectation in this life.As long as the child is born, for the sake of the child, the father will not blame himself anymore.

Although Feng Baoyi thought so, his heart was still low.Ever since the Qianshishan incident, every day I can dream of my elder brother questioning me with blood on his face, demanding his life.Recently, I often recall my elder brother's love and care for me when I was a child, and I hate myself more and more in my heart.Slowly, this hatred was transferred to Wang Ziteng again.If Wang Ziteng hadn't led troops to wipe out Qianshi Mountain that day, my brother would not have died, so the culprit is still the old Wang family thief. As long as this old Wang family thief is eliminated, my brother's revenge will be avenged, and he can rest in peace... …

Thinking of this, Feng Baoyi finally let out a stern sneer, and said in a cold voice: "Now you are also a thorn in the side, and you will never want to die well!"

Xiao Rong couldn't control the thoughts of Xue Baochai and Feng Baoyi.Now there are two major issues pressing on her heart, one is that the heart disease of the loyal beauty has not been solved, and the other is that Daiyu's filial piety is coming to an end, and she is about to die.This filial piety is a big event, and it is reasonable to go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the ancestors. Looking at the girl's hesitant expression in the past few days, I guess it is also for this matter.

Seeing Xiao Rong's tangled face, Cui Nanny didn't ask any questions, she just kept her eyes open and listened to orders at any time.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, Xiao Rong said: "Xinxin, you said it will be a few months before Yu'er and Ji, how should we arrange it."

Cui Mama lowered her eyebrows and replied obediently: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the coming-of-age ceremony for royal girls is arranged by the Ministry of Rituals."

Xiao Rong couldn't help but shed a drop of sweat, "The Ai family wants to know if Yu'er has been filial piety before reaching Ji, should she go back to her family to pay respects to the ancestral temple?"

"This..." Nanny Cui showed distress. If this is an ordinary family, and the children are filial, they must go to the ancestor's tomb to pay homage to show their respect.But Princess Anping is already a member of the royal family, so she shouldn't go to Bailin's house anymore.

Xiao Rong raised his eyebrows, took a sip of the tea calmly, and said with a smile: "The Ai family knows what you are worried about, but filial piety is the first thing. Lin Ruhai is her biological father, and nothing can be as good as giving birth to her." Well, Aijia thought it was time to let her go back."

Xiao Rong also has his own considerations for making such an arrangement.Lin Daiyu was imprisoned in the mansion by Lin Ruhai and Jia Min because of the words of the monk and Taoist priest since she was a child. After a while, she was sent to Jia's mansion, and then entered the palace, with little contact with the people.It will be even more difficult for her to travel when she becomes an adult, let alone after she is married.So Xiao Rong wanted to take advantage of this time so that Daiyu could see more of the mountains and rivers and the world.

After Daiyu heard the news of the trip to the south of the Yangtze River, she was pleasantly surprised and thanked her again and again, which made Xiao Rong have a hard time talking. "If you keep estranged from Ai's family like this again, Ai's family will go to your brother Wang to sue."

"Mother... Yu'er is really happy." Daiyu's eyes were red, and her beautiful eyes were full of gratitude.

Xiao Rong stretched out his hand to caress Daiyu's forehead hair, and said lovingly: "The Ai family knows that you are a filial child, this time I go back, so that I can pay homage, so that the ancestors don't have to worry about it, so that you can let go of the end in your heart. In the future, you can only Live happily and don't have red eyes anymore."

"Well, Yu'er complies with her mother's will." After speaking, she leaned on Xiao Rong's arm, with a happy smile on her face.

Considering the itinerary on the road, the departure date of this trip to the south of the Yangtze River must be advanced, so that we can arrive in Yangzhou before leaving the filial piety.The palace people in the palace began to be busy with the preparation of the objects and the arrangement of the entourage.

Daiyu, as the righteous daughter of the present empress dowager, is respected as the princess of Anping, so her trip to the south of the Yangtze River is certainly a grand one.Princess Anping's trip to the south of the Yangtze River has also become a major event in Kyoto!

Xiao Rong sent Ziyan, a close-knit maid of honor, to accompany him, and secretly arranged for hidden guards to accompany him for protection.The emperor was also eager to protect his sister, and dispatched a large number of guards to accompany her for protection, and ordered the officials along the way to take care of her carefully. Only then did the mother and son feel relieved to let Daiyu go to the south of the Yangtze River.

In front of Changle Palace, before leaving, everyone sees them off.Xiao Rong was reluctant to let go, pulling all kinds of instructions.

"Queen, it will take at least two or three months for Yu'er to come back after leaving. You have to take care of yourself and don't worry about Yu'er."

Xiao Rong held Daiyu's little hand, with a full face of reluctance, "You went to Yangzhou to pay homage to your first parents, remember to come back early. The Ai family is still waiting for you to make a funeral ceremony."

Seeing that Xiao Rong's eyes were red again, Zhongshun couldn't help rubbing his temples, why did his mother become more and more emotional...

Seeing that it was getting late, the mother and daughter seemed to have a thousand words to say, so the queen had no choice but to persuade her: "Mother, it is getting late. If it is delayed, Yu'er still doesn't know if she can come back at night." It’s time to arrive at Jinling Mansion.” This road is difficult to travel by water, so they spend the night in the cities along the way.Xiao Rong also understands that it is not easy to travel at night, and he does not want to let Daiyu run around day and night, so he has to let go of his confidant, and he ordered the people accompanying him to take good care of him, and then let Daiyu leave in a mighty way. go.

Xiao Rong watched everyone slowly leave his sight, thinking that the little girl Daiyu would not be around for the next few months, his heart suddenly felt empty.Looking sadly at the loyal and obedient beauty next to her, she said: "Zhen'er, why does Aijia feel like there is a hole in her heart?"

Loyal beauty: "..."

"Forget it, forget it, I know that your mouth is not sweet anymore, and you are not cute at all." Xiao Rong glanced at the beauty with a troubled face, and walked straight into the palace. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, Yu'er said that the medicine garden you gave her has been doing well recently. Some of the previous flower species are blooming very well. If you have time to see which ones are beautiful, move a few for Ai's family to replant in the garden. "

How dare Zhongshun disobey the instructions of the great Buddha, and quickly replied: "Tomorrow, I will go and look for it myself, and have someone bring it here for you."

"Well, what a good son." After finishing speaking, he happily led his empress and daughter-in-law to the inner hall.

The author has something to say: Come on, come on, it will finally be finished slowly...
