The Palm Jade of the Red Chamber

After Xiaozhuang, who had been ill for a long time, received the notice from the imperial physicians that he was critically ill, the emperor stayed around day and night, serving decoctions in person, and personally led the princes and ministers to walk to the Temple of Heaven, praying to God, asking for the loss of his own life and prolonging the life of his grandmother. He has a deep relationship with Xiaozhuang, and he personally took care of Xiaozhuang for almost a month. When Xiaozhuang fell asleep, he was busy correcting memorials and handling political affairs. In just over half a month, he lost weight .

25 On this day, after being drowsy for several days, he suddenly regained his energy. When he got up, he saw that the emperor was not there, and only the concubines who were waiting for him were around him, so he asked people to call the little princes to him.

This is a flashback, and everyone knows in their hearts that the old lady is afraid that she will die.

Xiaozhuang beckoned Daiyu to sit beside him, held Daiyu's hand, his eyes were full of nostalgia, and he said with a smile: "You were raised by Aijia, and you will have a good relationship with the emperor in the future." Among the concubines, Daiyu was the last person Xiaozhuang trusted the most.

Maybe it's because of watching her grow up. In her opinion, this woman has no love for her grandson. An ambitious person may not be of much help to the prince, but she is favored by the prince. The three children are also deeply affectionate under her care. The fourth and eighth elder brothers will definitely be the prince's right-hand man in the future .

At this age, Xiaozhuang has nothing he can't let go of.

"En." Daiyu nodded with red eyes.

Xiaozhuang called the prince to his side again, the little prince stepped forward and grabbed Xiaozhuang's hand with a very stubborn expression.Xiaozhuang was helpless and distressed, she patted the prince's hand, and said: "Baocheng must remember that although you are the prince, you are also the son of the emperor, the brother of Baoqing and others, you must have a tolerant and kind heart." Heart."

"Baocheng remembers the teachings of Wuku's mother." The little prince tightened his grip on Xiaozhuang's hand again. This was the first time he faced the death of someone close to him, and he felt very sad. In this palace, Huang Ama brought him up, but the feeling of being loved and taken care of for the first time was given by the old man in front of him. When he was very young, he would ask her in her arms why other elder brothers had foreheads , but I don't have it?

Feeling wronged, he will cry in her arms, and she will tell him that she is his great-grandmother, with her, he can cry unscrupulously, and he can also show all his weaknesses, but leaving her He is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, he is strong and invincible.She would hug him and tell him what to do as a prince, and what to do as a prince. She taught him no less than Huang Ama.

Huang Ama will teach him what he has to face as a prince, and how to be a wise king. What he learned from Huang Ama is the way of being a king, but what he learned from Wuku's mother is how to be a minister. way.

But now this old man who can teach him and care about him is about to leave him.

Xiaozhuang called the children to his side one by one, looked and looked, exhorted and exhorted, the youngest Shisan hugged him and took a look, seeing the children standing in a row, Xiaozhuang felt very relieved, These children are very outstanding and smart, but sometimes it may not be a good thing for a child to be too smart, but this is no longer something to worry about.

The emperor rushed over in a hurry, with heavy steps, he walked to Xiaozhuang step by step, every step was so difficult, he knelt beside the bed, and buried his face in his palm.Xiaozhuang touched the emperor's head with a smile, just like when he was a child.

Daiyu and the imperial concubine looked at each other, and the two of them took everyone down with a tacit understanding, leaving this space for the two grandparents.

The emperor and his father really don't look alike at all. She brought them up obviously. Why are there so many differences in personality?

Or to put it differently, she had too many expectations for Fulin, but at that time the court situation was unstable, and the harem was not as good as the current harem. She had something to fight for, maybe because the teaching of Fulin was not as good as that of Fulin. Xuan Ye let go like this.

What's more, she was relatively immature at that time, even if she was smart, what she experienced was not as rich as later, after all, she was still lacking.

She raised two generations of emperors, one failed, one succeeded, one was unwilling to face reality, and the other dared to challenge, and that was enough.

"Xuan Ye, whether it's the court or the harem, you don't need Ai's family to take care of you. The little Xuanye of Ai's family has grown up very well. You are a successful emperor."

"Aijia has no regrets." In fact, there are still some, but the endless grassland can no longer be seen.

"Why not? You haven't seen Baoqing and Baocheng get married, and you haven't seen their children. Last time Xiao Ba said that you promised him to help him choose a wife like his mother-in-law." The emperor's voice was choked with sobs, and he didn't want his grandmother to see him cry.

"Xuan Ye, these children are good children, don't be too strict with them." Xiaozhuang patted the emperor on the head, "Being a father is not as difficult as you imagined, you just need to treat them as you think. Just teach them, care about them and let them know.” The emperor, who had only gotten along with his father a few times, didn’t understand how a father should let his children know how he liked and cared for them, or whether he was born In addition to being able to clearly express his feelings for the prince he raised, the other children looked very pale.

Fortunately, the mothers of these children are all in a rhythm of pampering their children to heaven, so the children will not feel any difference.

"Xuan Ye, remember, you can pamper and like the women in the harem, but don't confuse their families. The harem needs balance, and the court also needs balance. Aijia believes that you can do a good job in this. "

Still can't help but want to say a few words to this grandson when he leaves.

Looking at her grandson, she couldn't help but think of that stubborn woman.

If concubine Jing is Xiao Zhuang's guilt in this life, then Xuan Ye's mother is a woman Xiao Zhuang admires.

That is a bright woman, she is different from Concubine Dong E, and also different from Concubine Jing, she is flamboyant but also likes to act like a baby, at least for a long time Fulin liked her very much, until Concubine Dong E entered the palace, at first After struggling, she seemed to understand that no matter what efforts she made, the emperor's heart would never come back to her, so she settled down and concentrated on taking care of her young son. This woman also made her own choice when she was brought in by her side to raise him. She used her life to ensure that she, the Queen Mother, would give everything for her son.

A smart and decisive woman, her son is very much like her.

Listening to the grandmother's urging, the emperor's restless heart also settled down. Life and death are fate, so he must let his grandmother go with peace of mind.

The emperor accompanied Xiaozhuang to reminisce about the past, and those happy memories have not been forgotten by the passage of time.

The concubines were all sitting outside waiting, the brothers were all following their mothers, the prince was by the queen mother's side, and the room was quiet.

The thirteenth elder brother was hugged by his mother, and fell asleep obediently. Fu'er opened a pair of big eyes in the arms of Xiao Niu Gulushi. She didn't understand what happened, but the heavy atmosphere made her uncomfortable. Dare to speak.Just look at this, look at that.

Xiaoba held Daiyu's hand tightly, Si elder brother frowned, Daiyu touched the heads of the two children, and signaled that they were all right, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, although sad, but she was already prepared in her heart, Then this is what Xiaozhuang expected, she said that she is already so old, those people of the same generation have been reincarnated, maybe you can meet acquaintances or something in the palace of the king of hell, that is not a very good thing !

She believes in the theory of reincarnation and reincarnation, but she believes that there is a vast sea of ​​people, and the chance to meet again is endless. A pair of lovers who love each other may be just strangers in their next life, or they may be different generations, or they may become relatives... ...Who can say for sure!

So, when you are alive, you must cherish the people around you very much. What you can protect is only a few short decades.

Holding the hands of the two children tightly, I thought of my father outside the palace, my brother who was far away in Fujian, Bai Ling and others who were by my side, and the sisters who were with me when I was there... Enough is enough!

Xiaozhuang walked very peacefully. Accompanied by her beloved grandson, she passed away without any pain. She did not want to be buried with Huang Taiji, but asked the emperor to bury her near Xiaoling Mausoleum in Fulin.

There are many children in the palace who are facing death for the first time. The younger ones are still confused and do worship with their elder brothers, but they already have a vague concept in their hearts. The older ones can’t hide their sadness and cry secretly. Yes, Xiaoba took Daiyu's hand and asked seriously: "Will Erniang leave me one day?"

"Yes." Daiyu replied, "Whether it's Er Niang, Huang Ama, or your elder brothers, one day everyone will leave you, and then one day, you will also leave your own wife , children and grandchildren."

Xiao Ba pursed his lips and looked at Daiyu, while the fourth elder brother looked down at his younger brother and mother, his face was still icy cold.

No one will stay by someone's side forever, and the fourth elder brother suddenly understood this truth.
