On March 15, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the weather was getting hotter and spring rains were frequent. After it cleared up, the blue sky was clear, the floating clouds were misty, and the palace was clean and tidy, as if it had a new look. A dazzling rainbow spread across the imperial city, with extraordinary brilliance, like a purple sky. . The Qing troops who entered the fortress looted everywhere and had already withdrawn from the pass. The important areas of the capital were now in danger, and the surrounding areas were prosperous again, and the markets were bustling with traffic.
In the Forbidden City, the majestic and majestic Huangji Palace was surrounded by Kong Wu's brave Forbidden Army soldiers. A spotted magpie quietly landed on the corner of the golden eaves. Above the head of the statue of "Immortal Riding a Phoenix", which turns evil into good luck, it is chirping as if no one else is watching, and is constantly jumping and chirping.
In contrast, the usually quiet and elegant Kunning Palace in the inner court is a different scene. The internal servants of all levels, large and small, are not happy at all, and are anxiously walking back and forth in the rear courtyard. The imperial doctors are carrying their own medicine boxes. They lined up neatly outside the palace and listened to the call of the queen at any time. From time to time, people came in and out of the palace gate, acting cautiously and looking solemn.
"Royal doctor, how is the prince's condition?"
The speaking woman wears a golden dragon, emerald phoenix and swallow crown on her head, embellished with pearls and peonies. She wears a large yellow shirt. Gold clouds and dragon patterns are arranged on both sides. Jade flowers and colorful ribbons hang down, and white jade cloud-like pendants are decorated in between. The gold-woven and colorful cloud-dragon-patterned skirt is directly on the ground. Its gorgeousness is unrivaled in the queen's palace, and it is truly extraordinary and comparable to that of ordinary beauties.
Such noble attire can only be enjoyed by one person in the world. Those who can control it will naturally be born with the beauty of the country, unparalleled elegance, a face like the bright moon, a face as beautiful as snow, wide eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose, cool and elegant, countless manners, gestures, and grace, indeed. He alone leads the crowd of queens and queens.
However, the charming figure was disturbed by the big event in front of her. The woman could not help but look solemn, frowning, worried, and extremely anxious. If the young man who had been unconscious for a long time on the bed made any mistakes, she would be heartbroken and extremely sad. . The situation suddenly became critical, so I could only open my lips slightly, ask about my condition with great concern, and wait impatiently for the minister's answer.
The old man gently wrapped the exposed forearms of the young man in front of him into the golden silk quilt. He turned around and put down his sleeve robe as if he was relieved, and bowed deeply to the other person. Then he respectfully reported: "Your Highness the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince's pulse is normal and his heartbeat is stable. , Judging from the official's years of medical experience, it is no longer a serious problem, but it still needs to be carefully nursed back to health, and maybe he can be revived as soon as possible. I can prescribe a prescription, attaching the medicinal materials and meals required for your highness's recovery. I kindly ask your highness, the queen. Take a look!"
When treating the prince, one should never be careless. The slightest mistake would be a serious crime. Fortunately, the imperial doctor was already over seventy years old. He had visited countless nobles in his life, and he already knew all kinds of diseases. Even if he was a relative of the emperor, The diseases that the relatives often suffer from are also under control, so there will definitely be no misdiagnosis, not to mention the prince's disease...
After the imperial doctor had finished writing and submitted it, the noble lady read it carefully. She also knew some medical skills. Seeing that the prescription was appropriate, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her mood improved and her tone of voice changed. After he calmed down, he expressed his sincere thanks with a rather polite smile, nodded his head to the old imperial doctor and said: "That's good, the imperial doctor is here to help. Come, please reward the imperial doctor Zhang and escort him out of the palace!"
Even if the internal funds that are about to dry up cannot be used, as the head of the imperial palace, he still has this little private money. In order to save her beloved, the lady would be willing to give up all her belongings, without any regrets, because the boy on the bed will be her only trustworthy support for decades to come. .
Thinking that her eldest son, who was usually respectful and meek, but only ten years old, suddenly suffered such a catastrophe and became unconscious and miserable in front of her, the noble lady felt sad and her beautiful eyes could not help but flash with tears. Qiong Her nose twitched and she sobbed softly, her cherry lips murmuring: "My brother Hong..."
Prior to this, the second son, King Huaiyin Zhu Cixuan, had died for many years, and the third son, King Dingai, Zhu Cijiong, was still young. If the eldest son stayed like this for a long time, the much-anticipated position of crown prince might fall to the fifth son Zhu Cihuan, born to Concubine Tian Guifei. This would greatly Something bad happened. The emperor's fifth son had inherited his mother's clever and well-behaved temperament. Judging from how much her husband loved this son, it was not impossible for this to happen.
As the owner of the empress house, the lady has always been at odds with the arrogant Concubine Tian. Now she is absolutely unwilling to see the nightmare come true. As long as there is half a hope of curing her eldest son, she must do her best. As long as Her baby can recover as good as before, even if she loses all her wealth.
"Well……"
I don't know how long I slept, but consciousness gradually gathered in Yaoji's mind. He slowly opened his heavy eyelids, whimpered at the same time, took a deep breath, and finally woke up a little. The originally blurry vision gradually became clearer. A young... woman dressed in exquisite clothes and elegant manners was sobbing in front of her. The scene was really heartbreaking.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Highness is awake!"
The woman was still feeling sad and did not notice the sudden change of her beloved. However, the maid serving behind her was quite alert. She immediately took a half-step forward, bowed her body, and softly reminded her master that this was a great joy.
After being called by the servant next to her, the noble lady had an epiphany. She realized that their eyes were looking at each other, and she felt a little lost. She hurriedly wiped the crystal tears in her eyes with her sleeves, and then showed a wonderful smile of extraordinary joy. Just like peach blossoms in bloom, it makes people fascinated and intoxicated. The prince lying on the bed was stunned.
"Brother Hong, I finally woke up, but my mother is so anxious, Brother Hong!"
Thanks to God's blessing and the God's care for the young son, my prayers were not in vain, and the baby was finally able to survive this disaster safely. If something happened, how could I survive? Now that my brother had woken up, as a mother, I absolutely couldn't think about these bad things.
"Mother...queen???"
Having just arrived in this new world, Yao Ji still needs time to digest and absorb a large amount of information, and at the same time think about how to survive in the future. The beautiful woman in front of me calls her mother. Is she the queen of the dynasty? With such a well-behaved and beautiful mother supporting him, it seems that he is really on the right track this time. He is not only a second generation caretaker, but also a rich second generation.
"Brother Xun, brother Xun, don't you remember your mother?"
Seeing the blank look in her eldest son's eyes, the lady immediately became anxious. She quickly grabbed one of the baby's pink hands from the silk quilt and asked with concern. Isn't it possible that the baby has completely forgotten his loved ones when he solves problems? So what should we do?
"Well……"
Yaoji dully touched his chin with his other little hand, tilted his head, and thought for a long time with his mouth open, but did not answer. Before you know the people around you, it's better not to speak lightly, lest trouble comes from your mouth, which will easily reveal your flaws.
"Brother Xun, I am the queen mother, do you remember?"
Seeing the eldest son's dull expression as if he was demented, this frightened the noble lady who was the head of the imperial family. She was so anxious that she couldn't control herself. If she really lost her mind like this, then...
It must never come true. Even if he has to teach him from scratch, he will work tirelessly to make Brother Xun no different from ordinary people. He must not be laughed at by the Tian family (Tian Guifei) who lives in Chengqian Palace.
"Mother! Oh~!"
Yao Ji feels that it is easier to pretend to be a fool at the moment, and let the beautiful biological mother worry for a while. Anyway, after two days, when she is familiar with the environment, she will be able to show off her skills, which will definitely make this wonderful woman overjoyed.
The prince scratched his left cheek with his little hand, and after relieving the itch, he continued to look cute, with the expression of a young man who doesn't know what to worry about. Now is the time when he is growing up, and eating well and sleeping well are much more important than national affairs.
"Brother Xang..."
Disappointed, the lady called her eldest son again, but it still had no effect, and then she burst into tears. After being pregnant for ten months, another ten years of hard work were wasted in an instant, which would make anyone cry.
Fortunately, there are many tall screens in the palace, so outsiders cannot see directly. It is far away from the main entrance. If the queen is sobbing softly here, the ministers waiting outside may not be able to hear her clearly.
The maid behind her saw that her master was so sad and that the prince was lying on the bed in a daze, so she ventured to say: "My queen, please don't be impatient. Your Highness must be still recovering, and with God's protection, he will recover in a while!"
Even if the empress is sad, troubled and depressed, and does not want to listen to other people's advice, the soothing words should still be said in person. As long as the master does not fall out of favor, she is still the empress and the head of the empress. No one except the emperor can do it. Out of reach.
At this time, Yaoji, who had not stood up, suddenly pushed away the quilt and sat up. He patted his withered belly cutely and begged the wonderful woman: "Queen, I'm hungry!"
Food is the most important thing for the people, and the prince will starve to death if he doesn't eat. No matter if the sky falls or the earth falls, let's eat a feast cooked by the royal chef first, not to mention that he doesn't have to pay, hehe...
Throughout history, the most powerful opponent who can compete with me for the role of fool is probably the "naturally intelligent" Emperor Hui of Jin. If nothing else, at least his own mother understands better than the mother who made her stupid son the prince. many.
Hearing her son's call, the noble lady hurriedly wiped away her tears, showed a loving smile, and promised softly: "Okay, okay, my mother will send someone to prepare meals right now, so Brother Xun will be full!"
After many years of conquering and suppressing bandits, there was not much money left in the household department, and there was not much money left in the royal family. The husband called on the imperial family to follow the edict of frugality and self-discipline. Even when the emperor ate, it was only a few dishes.
But no matter how hard it is for my brother Hong, the worst he can do is pay for it himself. How many taels of money can a mere young child spend?
