[Red Mansions] The promotion of the female history of salted fish

Concubine Li and the fifth concubine came to Changchun Palace more and more in the past few months, and concubine Zhuang became closer to the fifth concubine.

Unlike the previous times when she was dressed gorgeously and beautifully when she came here, this time the Fifth Prince's Concubine looked a little pale and her footsteps were a little unsteady, and she was even more restless when she followed Concubine Zhuang to the Small Buddha Hall of Changchun Palace.

Her anomaly was so obvious, it was impossible for Concubine Zhuang to act as if she hadn't seen anything, and asked gently before entering the Buddhist hall, "What's the matter?"

"This winter is really cold. My third brother got sick two days ago. I don't know if I can make it through." Concubine Li sighed. Speaking of which, there are a lot of people who are sick recently. I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother this morning and heard that I coughed twice.

Yunling looked at the fifth prince concubine curiously, she could feel that the fifth prince concubine's sadness and sadness were sincere.She remembered that she had heard before that the third son of the fifth prince's mansion was a concubine, and it could be seen that the fifth prince's concubine didn't have a good rest last night. Are the aunts in this era so...sincere?

Concubine Zhuang also sighed a few words, and after they paid homage to the Medicine King Bodhisattva, the fifth prince and concubine did not go out with Concubine Zhuang, but pleaded with red eyes, "Your Majesty and the concubine mother are sitting idle, the daughter-in-law shouldn't not serve you Side, but..." She glanced at the Bodhisattva statue sitting high on the altar table, "Daughter-in-law still wants to pray a few more times, in case the Medicine King Bodhisattva can hear it, and bless His Highness to see you in good health when you return to Beijing." my third brother."

Naturally, Concubine Zhuang had no reason to disagree, and before leaving, she specifically asked Yun Ling to stay with the fifth prince and concubine in the small Buddhist hall, so as not to make her too sad.Naturally, Yunling couldn't wait for her wish, so she agreed and stayed in the small Buddhist hall.

Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li left, and Yun Ling knelt down beside the Fifth Prince's Concubine, and helped her burn the scriptures she had copied to the Bodhisattva, while persuading her, "Why are you bothering? Take care of yourself, it's important for you to be in good health Yes, even...how many sons will the prince want after he returns to Beijing, or will he come?"

Seeing her sincerity, the fifth prince's concubine's favorability towards Yunling increased a bit.Yunling visually observed that her name had changed from tender green to grass green, which was even higher than Concubine Zhuang's favorability towards her - Concubine Zhuang is now tender green, probably to the extent that she will not forget her when something good happens.

There was silence in the small Buddhist hall for a long while, and the fifth prince and concubine sighed, "I know what you think, don't I know that even if the third brother is cured, I won't be credited with the credit? That child has been ill since birth It's crooked, but it doesn't happen sooner or later, and it just happened to catch up with His Highness when he was out of Beijing, and his condition got worse..."

Now the sisters-in-law said in secret that she would pick the time, the conscience of heaven and earth, what did she do when she picked the time?To be honest, even if she really wanted to kill a few bastards, she couldn't catch up with the prince when he was not in Beijing!What's more, the emperor finally remembered that the fifth prince had come, and promised him a heavy responsibility. Seeing that he would be a powerful prince in the future, is she crazy?If you insist on doing it now, it will appear that His Highness's house is restless!

Yun Ling remained silent.

After burning the two volumes of scriptures, Yunling already felt a chill coming from the futon under her body, and quickly helped the fifth prince and concubine, "When we first met, I heard that the third brother in your family was not in good health. Your Highness also knows well..." You shouldn't blame the fifth prince and concubine, right?

The Fifth Prince smiled wryly, stood up and went out.

The fifth prince and concubine did not return to the mansion that day, the reason was that not long after the two came out of the Buddhist hall, before they reached the main hall of the Changchun Palace, they heard the report from the little maid, "The Empress Dowager suddenly passed out again just now."

This is the second time this year.

The Empress Dowager's health is the most important thing in the harem, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly took the fifth concubine and the attendants to the Palace of Compassion, and of course Yun Ling went with Concubine Zhuang.When he arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, the side hall of the main hall was already full of four or five imperial physicians, arguing over the Empress Dowager's prescription.

Judging from the pulse condition, the Empress Dowager has a very common cold this time.But after all, people are getting old, and the dosage of many strong traditional Chinese medicines still needs to be considered.Concubine Zhuang first went to the Queen Mother's bed to look at the Queen Mother, listened carefully to the reports of the imperial doctors, and said dissatisfiedly, "Since it is a common cold, why hasn't the Queen Mother woke up yet?"

"This..." Several imperial doctors looked at each other and were about to speak when they heard the little eunuch outside shout, "The emperor is here."

===============

The emperor was irritable and in a bad mood.Since the sudden tinnitus more than two months ago, his hearing has gradually declined.Although there are eunuchs sending messages now, it seems that it does not affect normal life, but the panic in the emperor's heart cannot be described in words.

Everyone knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor". The emperor looked straight at the imperial doctor with a calm expression on his face, "How is the queen mother? When will she recover?"

Of course the imperial doctors did not dare to guarantee that a dose of medicine would depend on the patient’s physical fitness. The empress dowager is 70 years old, and it is not uncommon for her to leave in her sleep. Who can guarantee that the empress dowager will be cured?

Seeing a few imperial doctors making eye contact but not speaking, the emperor's dissatisfaction became more and more serious, "I want you to be buried with my mother if I can't cure my mother!"

Here we come, classic medical trouble lines.Yunling knelt outside together with the crowd, and couldn't help feeling that the imperial physician in ancient times was really high-risk and low-yield.I heard the leader of several imperial doctors reply tremblingly, "The empress dowager is in a serious condition, and heavy medicine may revive her vitality..."

But there is also a greater possibility of being taken away by a wave, right?Yunling knelt on the ground, thinking to herself, it seems that the queen mother's health is really bad, almost all of these imperial doctors are betting that the queen mother has been well maintained for these years, and even if the medicine is more powerful, it will not be too late. can wake up.

The emperor waved his hand, which meant to allow the imperial doctor to use medicine.When Concubine Zhuang came, the clever little eunuch placed a chair in front of the Empress Dowager's bed. Now that the emperor came, the seat had nothing to do with Concubine Zhuang.

The emperor sat in front of the empress dowager's bed, watching her quietly.When he returned to the Forbidden City at the age of eight, when other brothers and sisters could still act like a baby with his concubine mother, because he was not familiar with the queen mother who was a concubine at the time, he never experienced it once.After going to the study room, I was busy with the homework left by the late emperor and dealing with the relationship with my brothers, and even less familiar with the queen mother.

When their mother and son really continued their mother-child relationship, it was already after he ascended the throne.Over the years, he has continued to be kind to the Zhen family, but he didn't pay much attention to the Empress Dowager's natal family after being given the title of Cheng Engong.

After a while, the medicine was ready, and the maid served the queen mother to drink it.The emperor stared at the queen mother lying on the bed with burning eyes.All the concubines comforted each other, "The Empress Dowager is an auspicious person, she will wake up in a while."

"That's right, the Empress Dowager will be very happy to see the emperor come to guard in person."

Sure enough, it did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Not long after the medicine was fed, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes.The emperor sat on the chair and repeatedly ordered to reward the few imperial doctors who had just prepared the prescription.

Seeing the emperor sitting in front of her bed, the queen mother smiled slightly, "Why did you call you here because of these troubles? You were busy with government affairs in the previous dynasty, and I know my body myself, so it doesn't get in the way."

I don't know which words the queen mother said touched the emperor. Almost instantly, the emperor choked up, "Mother, my son was really unfilial before."

The empress dowager's eyes were also red, and she scolded softly with tears in her smile, "Nonsense! My emperor's son is the most filial."

The grudges of the past 20 years seemed to dissipate at this moment.Concubine Zhuang looked at the touching picture of the mother and son, she couldn't help lowering her head, and smiled softly, "The empress dowager does not want the concubines to report the news to the emperor and disturb the emperor's handling of government affairs, it is the empress dowager's kindness; It is the emperor's filial piety that the busy government affairs have to come over."

The Empress Dowager smiled happily, and the Emperor was also a little moved. Seeing that there were so many people in the room, he waved his hand and said, "Zhuang Concubine stay, everyone else go back."

The imperial concubine stood aside until now, seeing that the emperor hadn't even looked at her, she couldn't help but secretly angry.But no matter how angry she was, she could only hold back in front of the empress dowager and the emperor in the Compassion Ning Palace, so she left angrily.

Here a family of three (son, daughter-in-law and mother) enjoyed themselves happily and talked and laughed for another quarter of an hour before the emperor took Concubine Zhuang to leave.Yunling followed Concubine Zhuang to the Changchun Palace, and couldn't help but think that Concubine Zhuang would really seize the opportunity. The noble concubines in the harem were naturally not liked by the Empress Dowager because of their birth, and Concubine Hui, who looked like a child with everything to do, would not Going forward, Concubine Shu's favor and qualifications are not as good as the other three.The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor now seems to be breaking the ice. Concubine Zhuang climbed up smoothly at this time, maybe she will be the leader in the future harem.

But that's all for later.The Empress Dowager's illness was a chance for Concubine Zhuang to take a step forward, but for another person, it was a complete thunderbolt.

"My mother's day is sad, the third brother was not able to stay." The fifth prince and concubine had just returned to the prince's mansion when she heard the servants she had left behind to watch the house come to report.

"What's going on?" The fifth prince asked her eldest maid while striding towards the house where the third brother usually lives.Although she entered the palace in an anxious manner in the morning, a lot of it was for Concubine Li to see. In fact, San Geer's illness was far from serious at that time.

"Please go back this morning, the third brother was a little bit affected, but at that time he insisted on not saying anything. Later, after you entered the palace, the third brother still read for an hour, who would have thought that he would start talking during the lunch break?" Nonsense, his nanny thought something was wrong, and she stretched out her hand to feel it, only to find that he was already hot all over. The servants did not dare to delay, and immediately went to the palace to invite the imperial physician, but the imperial hospital said that the imperial physician who is best at wind and cold is not here..."
