Princess Guangling and her son came to Tong'an Palace where Princess Rong lived. They met two little maids and greeted them respectfully.
Princess Guangling recognized that she was the daughter of the Jin family and the Qin family. When she came to greet her mother and concubine a few years ago, she knew that the two of them were transferred here as maids copying scriptures.
In the past, during New Years and holidays, the two girls would be led by the elders of their families to pay their respects to the Duke's Mansion.
She was originally a young lady from a rich family, but now her experience is unbearable to mention.
Concubine Rong is over seventy years old, but because she has been fasting and worshiping Buddha all year round, she does not have the slightest attitude of being a dragon.
His eyes are clear and lively, and his face is dignified and kind.
Yu Guming stopped him to salute and said, "I've been talking about you mother and son these past two days! In the past, you would have come to pay my respects within three days at most. If you haven't come these past few days, it must be your uncle, the emperor, who asked for leave for you."
Yu Guming smiled and nodded. His grandmother was an extremely transparent old man.
He had never seen anyone she was angry with or blamed.
"How is your concubine coming in?" Princess Guangling stepped forward and asked, "There are many social events in the first month, so I will inevitably delay entering the palace to see you."
"Aren't you going to socialize? You must be polite to outsiders." Concubine Rong told them mother and son to sit down quickly. "What are we, mother and son, afraid of if we go earlier or later?"
He called Ningcui over again: "Send someone to the small kitchen to quickly prepare the new snacks I promised.
Ming'er likes Poria cake, so I want that too. "
Aunt Ningcui responded with a smile: "My servants have called them here a long time ago, knowing that something like this should happen."
Aunt Ningcui is about the same age as Princess Guangling. Before the princess got married, Ningcui stayed with her almost all the time.
Over the years, she has served Concubine Rong the most devotedly and for the longest time.
"Yesterday, the Emperor came here to talk to me for a while, and had lunch before leaving." Concubine Rong said, "After finishing the work on the anniversary of the Queen Mother's death, it can be regarded as a big event."
The Queen Mother only gave birth to the Emperor's one child, and due to heavy blood loss during childbirth, her health has not recovered since then.
So he asked his biological sister to enter the palace, so that someone could share his worries and raise the child.
Concubine Rong was not only the emperor's biological aunt, but also had a nurturing grace for him. Although she was not the queen mother in name, her status was extremely noble.
"Speaking of which, the Queen Mother's three-year mourning period has also expired. The sixth prince's marriage to a concubine, and the matter of the fourth and fifth princes' concubines should be discussed openly." Princess Guangling followed Princess Rong's words. Go on.
"What's so urgent about having a concubine? His mother, Concubine Xian, has to worry about Lao Liu's marriage." Concubine Rong looked at Yu Guming and said with a smile, "On the other hand, we are already nineteen years old tomorrow, so It’s time to marry a beautiful and dignified little wife.”
Yu Guming blushed.
Concubine Rong laughed even more when she saw it, and said, "What is there for a man to be ashamed of? It is the first time for a man to get married, and for a woman to get married. This is the most important thing in life."
"My mother-in-law also knows this child's naturally weird temperament. I have been paying close attention to it in the past two years. Whenever I have something decent to say, I tell him, but he doesn't like anything." Princess Guangling couldn't help but feel a little worried when she said this. .
"There's nothing to worry about. Everyone has their own destiny for marriage. If you haven't met the one you're destined for yet, you won't be able to catch her eye." Concubine Rong has always been understanding.
At this time, the palace maid came in with some snacks, and Concubine Rong let them and their son have a taste.
After a while, seeing Yu Guming sitting there in a daze, the concubine said: "Children don't like to listen to elders talking about household matters. You go and play with your sixth brother and the others! Get up early. Your fourth brother and fifth brother have also entered the palace.
A large group of people came to kowtow to me. I thought it was noisy, so I sent them all away.
I heard that the stable master had brought some good horses, so they were probably all there. You go too! Don’t you also like horse riding?
Just don’t overdo it, and remember to come here for lunch. "
Princess Guangling also said: "If grandma tells you to go, you can go! Just when you are with a few princes, you must not ignore the dignity and mess up the rules."
Yu Guming stood up and agreed, then slowly turned around and went out.
It's just that when he came out of Tong'an Palace, he didn't go to the Royal Horse Prison, but went directly to the Eighth Bureau.
When they were approaching the Acupuncture Palace Bureau, they met Chi Su and another palace maid, each holding a bag of embroidery bundles and heading south.
Chi Su knew at one glance that he had something to say to him.
Yu Guming is not good at words, so his eyes are particularly spiritual.
Chi Su also handed the baggage in his hand to the palace maid and said, "Send mine along with me. I will thank you later."
When the palace maid walked away, Chi Su smiled and asked Yu Guming: "Master, what do you want from me?"
"I..." Yu Guming just said the word "I", and Chi Su took over the words.
"Do you want to see Hengzhao?"
Yu Guming nodded.
"She has been sick for the past two days and has not come to work. She is resting at her residence." Chi Su said, "If you want to find her, go west from the front aisle, enter the second door on the north, and walk along the east wall. North, it’s the second room in the third row of houses.”
"Thank you." Yu Guming hugged his fists towards Chi Su and strode away.
Xue Hengzhao gets sick every spring, and his limbs and lower abdomen are as cold as ice.
Although the disease is not fatal and will be cured without medicine in about ten days, it is still very uncomfortable.
Xue Hengzhao took the medicine prepared by her master and took one pill every three days, which could relieve a lot of pain.
She originally wanted to struggle to get to work, but Chi Su disagreed.
"Anyway, I'm so busy now that I won't leave you alone. I'll go ask for leave for you and you can rest."
Xue Hengzhao thought about it and decided that it was enough to get through the most difficult two days, so he let her go.
Yu Guming knocked on the door gently, Xue Hengzhao answered inside, and it took him a long time to get down and open the door.
When Yu Guming saw that her face was as white as paper and her whole body was haggard and weak, she couldn't help but feel worried and said hurriedly: "I, I will take you to... Tai Hospital."
"No need, I've already taken the medicine. I'll be fine in a few days." Xue Hengzhao said, "Young Master, do you have anything to do with me?"
Even though she said this, Yu Guming was still worried.
Xue Hengzhao was already extremely weak, and his illness made him even more weak and powerless.
But Yu Guming also knew that Xue Hengzhao didn't like others to advocate for her. The last time he made a mistake, he had already made her angry.
Now that she is sick, she cannot be angry.
So he took out the sycamore seeds packed in advance from his sleeve and handed them to Xue Hengzhao.
"Here," he handed the bag over, "here you go."
"What is this?" Xue Hengzhao didn't understand, so he opened it and saw that it was a bag of sycamore seeds.
"It was picked from... from the... sycamore tree in your family." Yu Guming tried his best to keep his tone calm.
"What did you do with it?" Xue Hengzhao asked, "Wasn't it sealed a long time ago?"
