There is no phoenix

Shui Ruoyang listened, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you, two of Xu Jia's family members and one girl will enter the palace the day after tomorrow, but they must leave the palace at noon. My concubine is not in good health now, so I will take care of her first." Good body. The little princess gave her the name Yingying, does my concubine like it?"

Yuan Chun listened, nodded and said: "Thank you, the emperor, for giving me the name. I like it. I also ask the emperor to tell Miss Li that I am very grateful to her and apologize to her on behalf of the family members who have committed crimes. If the illness of the concubine can be cured , the concubine will make amends to her face to face."

Shui Ruoyang said: "It's rare that my beloved concubine has such a heart, so there is no need to make amends. I have already persuaded Miss Li to stop thinking about the original sad things. You two are already my women. I only hope that you can get along well. The palace is lonely, I, like you, have to learn to be happy by myself."

Yuan Chun said: "Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty, rest assured, my concubine feels much better now."

Shui Ruoyang saw that Yuan Chun's mood was indeed better, he hurriedly said to Dai Quan: "Dai Quan, let Imperial Physician Zhou come in, and let Concubine Xiande take a look."

After hearing this, Dai Quan hurriedly went outside to call for someone.

After a while, Imperial Physician Zhou came in, checked Shui Ruoyang's pulse again, and then said to Shui Ruoyang: "Your Majesty, the concubine Xiande's illness must be cured, not only to be happy, but also to eat more. Also, Concubine Xiande body, I can no longer breastfeed the little princess."

Shui Ruoyang said: "Isn't there a nanny? Concubine Xiande, can you hear clearly now?"

Yuan Chun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubine has not breastfed Yingying since yesterday, it's all nursed by the nanny. I know that I can't give Yingying over the illness."

Shui Ruoyang said to Baoqin and several court ladies: "Until the concubine Xiande recovers from her illness, you can't hug the little princess too close to Concubine Xiande."

After Shui Ruoyang finished speaking, he said to Yuan Chun: "My concubine, remember, you can see the child three or two times a day. If you recover from illness, you will have a chance to see the child no matter what you want."

Yuan Chun naturally knew that the rules in the palace had always been like this, Shui Ruoyang was very lenient by not forbidding him to see the little princess.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, before the concubine gets well, it is enough to see the child twice a day from a distance."

Shui Ruoyang then said to Dai Quan: "Dai Quan, you send someone to Jia's mansion to pass on my oral order. At the next day, two female family members of Jia's mansion and one girl each will enter the palace to see Concubine Xiande, and leave the palace at noon."

After hearing this, Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, your majesty, this servant will send someone to Jia's mansion to spread the message."

Shui Ruoyang said: "It's too late today, let someone send the message early tomorrow morning!"

Seeing that Shui Ruoyang had left, Yuan Chun hurriedly said to Baoqin: "Baoqin, you go and bring a bowl of porridge, I want porridge now."

After hearing this, Baoqin smiled and said: "The empress finally wants to eat, and this servant will bring it to you!"

Watching Yuan Chun drink a bowl of porridge in one breath, Baoqin said happily: "Your Majesty, the emperor speaks very softly today, so you can rest assured, the Emperor still values ​​you very much."

Yuan Chun sighed: "Baoqin, you don't know, there is no hope for our family. The emperor told me the truth today, because I have been kept in a dream, and I still have such and such hopes for my family. The old lady and My wife never talked about what happened in the house. I thought the house was fine all the time. I didn't expect so many things. No wonder the second sister got married and was wronged and disappeared. The third sister was willing to get married, and the fourth sister simply escaped. Now, maybe she really became a sister-in-law. Sister Lin would rather go back to Gusu than stay in our house. It’s because the men in our family are too disappointing. It’s impossible for our girls’ family to hide those unbearable things. Things, I'm afraid the mansion won't last long."

Baoqin said: "Niang Niang, is it really so bad?"

Yuan Chun smiled bitterly and said, "Baoqin, I'm afraid it's worse than what the emperor said. I already believe what the emperor said today. I'm afraid there are worse things that the emperor didn't say, or haven't verified yet."

After Yuanchun finished speaking, he told Baoqin about the case of Li Rubing and Brother Jin.

Baoqin said: "No wonder the old lady said last year that Lian's second grandmother had returned to Jinling. So it was so. Madam, it's already like this. What should Madam say when she sees the old lady and the wife the day after tomorrow?"

Yuan Chun said: "The emperor told me these things today, and he agreed to see my family. Baoqin, do you think the emperor is testing me? Last time he scolded me angrily, and asked my family if it was important for him and the emperor. It's very important. Now if I tell the old ladies and wives what the emperor said, what will happen?"

Baoqin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, according to the servants, you should not let the old lady know about this? Your Majesty, think about it. The emperor told you these things himself, which means that it must have been verified. The old lady and the wife may have known it earlier. And when you say this, the old ladies and wives will feel even more uneasy. Sometimes it is better to conceal in good faith than to tell the truth. Now that the master has just returned, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the lady should recover from her illness first, so that everyone can have a good New Year first. When the illness is cured next year, just try to persuade the old lady to discipline the men in the house."

Yuan Chun nodded and said: "That's the only way to go. I'm just a woman, living in this deep palace, and I'm content to keep our mother and daughter in front of me."

But Shui Ruoyang came out of Fengzao Palace and walked slowly on the corridor, followed by Dai Quan.

"Father, I have been looking for you for a long time, and you are finally back!"

Shui Ruoyang just arrived at the courtyard in front of the Chengde Palace, and saw Shui Yiyi trotting over, holding a painting in her hand, flying to Shui Ruoyang like a bird, and said with a smile: "Father, why haven't you come for a few days?" Is Erchen playing chess? Erchen misses you so much, father, look at Erchen's paintings!"

Shui Ruoyang was in a good mood for a while, and quickly smiled and said: "Yiyi, you came just in time, what will the father look at your painting first?"

Shui Ruoyang took the scroll and looked at it, and saw that the painting was a pair of red plums, but all of them were flower buds, and a bird on the plum branch was looking closely into the distance.

Shui Ruoyang couldn't help praising: "Yiyi, when did you draw so well? Why is there only one bird?"

Shui Yiyi smiled and said: "Father, do you know that my son squatted in the imperial garden for a long time in order to paint this painting. This painting of my son is a real scene. At that time, there was really a bird on the plum branch superior."

Shui Ruoyang heard this, and said with a smile: "Yiyi, look at this bird, it must be looking at its companion, its companion must be on other trees, you just didn't see it."

Shui Yiyi coquettishly supported Shui Ruoyang and said, "Father, my son feels like that bird without a companion."

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "Yiyi, father and emperor have forgotten, you will be 15 years old soon, do you want to be a son-in-law?"

After hearing this, Shui Yiyi blushed and said with a blushing smile: "Father, why are you making fun of my son? My son is still young, so I don't want to marry."

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "Yiyi doesn't want to marry? Could it be that she wants to stay in the palace forever?"

After hearing this, Shui Yiyi looked at Shui Ruoyang seriously and said, "Father, do you think Erchen's painting today is good?"

Shui Ruoyang nodded and said: "The painting is not bad. Except for Miaoyu, you are the best among your aunts and sisters."

Shui Yiyi laughed and said, "Father, I like what you said. Then Father, should you reward my son?"

Shui Ruoyang looked at Shui Yiyi's innocent and handsome face, and said with a smile: "Yiyi, you ghost girl, tell me, what you want, as long as Father has it."

After hearing this, Shui Yiyi said happily, "Father, will Father agree to any request from my son?"

Shui Ruoyang nodded and said: "As long as it doesn't violate the palace rules or violate the laws and regulations, the emperor will agree. Tell me, do you like some books or decorations or how much does it cost?"

Shui Yiyi smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, this son only wants a word from Father, and nothing else."

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang asked in surprise, "What? You want a word from Father? What words?"

Shui Yiyi smiled and said: "Father, it can be simpler, that is, to ask Father to say a word, or two words. Father, I beg you to do something, can you agree to it first?"

Shui Ruoyang was a little puzzled and said: "Yiyi, please explain clearly, what is one word or two words?"

Shui Yiyi smiled and said: "Father, then you promise to my son first, and my son will tell you a word or two, okay?"

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "Okay, I promise you, tell me, what do you want?"

After hearing this, Shui Yiyi jumped up happily and said, "Father, you are so kind! Now I tell you, I want to beg Father, and I want to leave the palace. I thank Father for agreeing!"
