Chapter 201 For His Good
Chapter 201 For His Good
When Lin Jinhua arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she found that except for Qian'er, everyone else was guarding the door. Although they were panicked, they didn't look like they were tied up or had anything to do with it.
Xi'er was surprised and asked them: "Are all the nuns here? Then, where have you been?"
The leading nun then came out and said: "It was the queen mother who asked the slaves to rest in the west wing and said that they would come out later. Who knew that the queen mother went out by herself."
"Go out by yourself?" Lin Jinhua asked her.
The nanny nodded: "It was she who went out by herself. The servant saw it with her own eyes. She was walking with the imperial physician."
"Doctor?" Mo Xue looked at them coldly: "Didn't I tell you that the queen mother is not allowed to leave the palace?"
"This……"
Several nuns looked at each other and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
Lin Jinhua only turned around and looked at Zhao Huaiyan, Zhao Huaiyan said softly, "Go back and rest first, I'll go and have a look."
Lin Jinhua nodded. After all, she was his biological mother, and now that she had gone out, she couldn't say anything, let alone bring him back.
After watching Zhao Huaiyan leave, she glanced at the nuns kneeling on the ground: "What did the queen mother order? Why did you leave the palace?"
"The empress dowager only said that she was bored, and she was always ill. She told the imperial physician to go out for a walk, and the imperial physician did not dare to disobey, so..." the nuns said tremblingly.
"Forget it, now that you're out, go out, Qian'er, it's cold outside, so take your cloak and go find the queen mother." Lin Jinhua ordered.As long as the Empress Dowager Jiang stopped being a monster, she could actually be allowed to come out, after all, she had been imprisoned for so long.
Xi'er kept saying yes, and as soon as she left, Mo Xue helped Lin Jinhua turn around and went back, asking her as she walked, "Your Majesty doesn't care?"
"So what can I worry about, after all, she is the emperor's biological mother." Lin Jinhua could only smile slightly after thinking about it.
"It would be great if the Empress Dowager Jiang knew how to repent. The empress and the emperor have gone through untold hardships to get to this day. If she does something to harm the empress, the servant will never allow it." Mo Xue thought of those catastrophes before, and then thought Now that the days are a little more peaceful, if the Empress Dowager Sijiang intends to destroy them, she will never let them go.
Lin Jinhua also smiled slightly: "I hope." But the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. The personality of the Empress Dowager Jiang has been cultivated for decades. If she wants to change it completely overnight, I'm afraid she will tell I don't believe it, it depends on how much she cherishes her life, and how much she cherishes the present life.
The imperial palace is not big, so Zhao Huaiyan quickly found the Empress Dowager Jiang in the imperial garden. At that time, the Empress Dowager Jiang was sitting in the pavilion in the center of the lake, watching the lake quietly until Zhao Huaiyan came over.
"Your Majesty..." The imperial physician on one side hurriedly knelt down to salute, Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently: "Back down."
"Yes!" The imperial physician couldn't wait more, upon hearing this, he hurriedly got up to pack his things and left.
As soon as he left, the Empress Dowager Jiang smiled slightly: "Are you afraid that Ai's family will run away? This harem is fortified with iron walls, and Ai's family is no longer the former concubine, so I can't escape."
Zhao Huaiyan didn't speak, just stood on one side looking at the wind-wrinkled lake surface, frowning slightly.
After a long while, Qian'er took the cloak, and the Empress Dowager Jiang saw her red eyes, and felt touched in her heart, and finally said: "Scared you?"
"It's all because the slaves didn't take good care of the Queen Mother, and they didn't even know that you came out, the Queen Mother." Qian'er choked up and said, and the Queen Mother Jiang laughed, patted her hand, and finally said: "It's none of your business, it's I'm going to keep it from you. It's cold here, you're wearing thin clothes, go back and add some clothes first."
Although Xi'er is usually a bit stupid, she can't understand the words, and Empress Dowager Jiang doesn't want her here to disturb her and the emperor.
She immediately saluted obediently, and then led everyone around her to retreat.
After they all left, Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a smile and said, "I heard that the empress married off all the maids around her today?"
"Ah."
"She's such an incomprehensible person." He held a grand wedding for his maids, and even let them marry from the Lin family as a young lady. Wouldn't he lift the maids to the same height as him?
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her calm face, and said indifferently: "Hua'er is someone you will never understand."
"Why?"
"Because you are selfish." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, her complexion sank a little, and she said: "It's not early, you should go back to the Ci Ning Palace earlier, if you think about it later, you can come out, but you are not allowed to go to the Hua'er Palace." Come on, turn around and walk away.
Empress Dowager Jiang hurriedly turned to look at him: "In your heart, am I, the biological mother, still inferior to your wife?"
Zhao Huaiyan stopped slightly, but without turning her head, she said firmly, "In my heart, Hua'er is the last thing I want. As for the Empress Dowager Jiang, I have already made your wish come true. From now on, you can be the Empress Dowager with peace of mind. Until he is buried with the late emperor." After speaking, he left without looking back.
Empress Dowager Jiang just looked at his back like this, as if she couldn't catch him from a distance.
She is used to controlling everything in the palm of her hand, including this son, but she didn't expect that in the end, it was all in vain.
She watched his back disappear, and finally turned her head to look at the calm lake, her heart was full of waves, and she suddenly had the same mentality as the old queen before, if she wanted to achieve a career and become a famous emperor through the ages, how Can be tired by a woman, especially a woman like Lin Jinhua.
She still remembers how the old queen forced the emperor to kill herself.
Lin Jinhua, Lin Jinhua, you can't blame me for this. If you want to blame, you can only blame you for blocking my way and Huaiyan's way.
She lowered her eyes, took out the small white jade bottle from her sleeve, and let the cold wind dry the tears in her eyes. Finally, she threw the jade bottle into the opposite lake.
When night fell, Lin Jinhua heard Mo Xue's report.
"The dark guard saw the Empress Dowager Jiang throwing away the jade bottle with his own eyes," Mo Xue said.
"It seems that Empress Dowager Jiang is planning to make one last fight." Lin Jinhua sighed faintly, thinking that after struggling for so long, she would eventually hold back the evil thoughts in her heart and spend the rest of her life peacefully like this, but she didn't expect that she would still Don't give up.
Hearing this, Mo Xue looked at her and said, "What is the lady going to do? If she is left alone like this, something bad will happen."
"It's not a bad thing. Now that I've watched her, nothing will happen. I'm just worried..." Lin Jinyu sighed quietly. She was just worried that if something happened to the Empress Dowager Jiang regardless, or Forced herself to be ruthless, then how would she face Huai Yan.
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes and exhaled slowly, before finally saying: "Forget it, keep an eye on the person first, and report any changes at any time."
Seeing her like this, Mo Xue couldn't say much, so she could only answer first.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua looked at her belly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, not knowing whether her baby was a boy or a girl.
The night passed, and Zhao Huaiyan was busy in the study until late at night before returning, and by then Lin Jinhua had already fallen asleep.
She was lying on her side on the bed, sleeping soundly. Several candles were lit in the room, and the candlelight fell on her face, making her facial features look softer.
He sat on the side of the bed and raised his hand to caress her face. She only hummed a few times, then raised her hand and grabbed his hand as a pillow, and continued to sleep soundly.
He smiled softly, looked at her quiet eyebrows and eyes, and felt that he had no regrets in this life.
No matter what queen mother is, no matter what fetters, he will take good care of her and prevent her from suffering any more wind and rain.
"Your Majesty, I will wait for you to change your clothes." Xiaolong came in from the outside and said softly.
"No need, step back." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly.
Xiaolong immediately responded, and then retreated politely. After she left, Zhao Huaiyan withdrew her hand, covered Lin Jinhua with the quilt again, got up and went out.
The guard, Ah Zhong, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming out, he dared to come forward and said: "Reporting to the emperor, I have already consulted the imperial physician, and the imperial physician said that the empress dowager's physical condition may not survive for three months."
"Three months..."
"Yes." Ah Zhong replied.
Zhao Huaiyan only thought about the secret guards going back and forth at the same time. The Queen Mother obviously had other plans. Now she must know that she would not live for three months, so she would definitely think of a way to do something.
Thinking of this, he finally said: "You stare at the queen mother yourself."
Ah Zhong hesitated for a moment: "Are you worried about the Queen Mother's condition?"
"Keep an eye on her every move, no matter what she eats or uses, she should write it down, and tell the nuns of the Compassion Ning Palace to take care of her." Zhao Huaiyan said coldly.
"Yes!"
After Ah Zhong left, he raised his head to look at the dark night, his heart seemed to be full of dust, he couldn't figure out why the concubine mother had abandoned him before, why she still refused to let him go until now.
It was late at night, and the cold wind was blowing, and occasionally the sound of dead branches being crushed by snow could still be heard.
Zhao Huaiyan was sleepless, and so was Empress Dowager Jiang.
She leaned against the bed, watched the candles in the candlestick burn slowly, and finally closed her eyes deeply.
Early the next morning, Qian'er came to see Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua seemed to be drowsy again in the past two days and wanted to sleep again, and at times like this, she always fell asleep more and more every time. For some reason, it seemed that there was another voice calling her in the dream, making her want to Want to sleep forever, but dare not sleep.
When she met Xi'er in the morning, she was in a daze, until she came, she leaned against the warm couch with her forehead and asked softly: "What's the matter, but the queen mother is busy?"
Xi'er immediately knelt down on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, after the queen mother had a blow yesterday, her health became worse and worse, and the imperial doctor said there was nothing to do. This servant girl knows that my mother's medical skills are the best in the world, so this servant girl dared to ask her to give her a hand. Empress Dowager Fangzi, I beg your mother!" After speaking, he began to kowtow, making a loud bang.
Lin Jinhua knew that she was sincere. Yesterday she saw that she had smashed her head, but she came again today because she was really loyal to the Queen Mother.
Lin Jinhua managed to pull out a sliver of rationality from her drowsiness, looked at her and said, "Do you think I am capable of prescribing prescriptions now?"
"But……"
"Don't worry, after two days, the Palace will definitely go to see the Queen Mother in person. The medical skills of the Palace are just rumors. There are so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital who have practiced medicine for decades. Unlike the Palace, even if they really practice medicine, they are only qualified. It's only been a few years." Lin Jinhua tried her best to keep her tone calm, now that she is not feeling well, she has to be more on guard against Empress Dowager Jiang, even though Xi'er's request seems reasonable and she has no intentions, but she can't help it. She still has a baby in her belly.
Qian'er was also stunned for a moment, seeing that she was indeed in a bad mood, she didn't dare to continue begging, she just said: "It's the servant who is stupid. It's just that the medical skills of the empress are famous all over the world. The empress dowager is seriously ill now, and the imperial doctors are helpless... "
Seeing that she was still confused, Mo Xue said, "If the Empress Dowager can go, she will go. It's just that the Empress Dowager has not been in good health for the past two days, she is also a sick person, how can she treat the Empress Dowager?"
"Yes." Xi'er hurriedly bowed her head in apology.
"Okay, you go back first." Mo Xue said.
Qian'er looked at Lin Jinhua again, finally bit her lip, saluted and left.
As soon as she left, Mo Xue called the nanny who was guarding the door: "In the future, when Xi'er and the people from the Palace of Compassionate Ning come to see you, you can just send them back. You don't need to bring them to see your mother. Even if you want to see them, you have to wait." The empress waits for a while before speaking."
When the nuns heard this, they immediately nodded in fear, and then went out.
Lin Jinhua sighed slightly, but she was extremely sleepy, so she barely opened her eyes and said to Mo Xue, "I'll leave the matter to you for the time being, and I'll go to sleep for a while." This sleepiness seems to come every once in a while , Think about it, when did it start?It seems that it is time to conceive this child...
When Lin Jinhua supported Xiaoling's hand to go inside, she put her hand on her stomach, and the person in her stomach seemed to feel her own thoughts, and even moved, and she became a little more energetic.
She suddenly felt that the child in her belly must be a daughter, and this feeling was very strong.
She finally said: "When I wake up, I will invite the imperial physician."
"Yes." Xiaoling quickly responded, carefully waited for her to lie down, and then went to deliver the order.
Xi'er returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and heard the coughing of Empress Dowager Jiang from a long distance away.
She walked in quickly, and smelled a bloody smell.
"Empress Dowager..." She saw the face lying on the bed vomiting blood, and hurried up, but the Empress Dowager Jiang only took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her mouth, and slowly leaned on the bedside with her hand, and finally said: "Why?" Sample?"
"The empress said that she herself is not in good health. After this period of time, she will recover and come to see you, Empress Dowager." Xi'er said cautiously.
Empress Dowager Jiang was surprised when she heard the words: "Is she not in good health?"
"Yeah." Qian'er nodded, remembering the scene of seeing Lin Jinhua, she said: "My servant saw that the empress seemed to be very sleepy, and her complexion was also very bad, and the maids around were very cautious. This servant thought, maybe it's the child in her belly It's making a fuss, so the empress didn't sleep well last night."
"It's just that I didn't sleep, okay?" Empress Dowager Jiang didn't believe it. Lin Jinhua is a doctor herself, and the child is fussy. She should have a hundred ways to cure it. Qian'er said that her complexion was bad, could it be some kind of illness?
After she finished speaking, she asked a few more questions, but Xi'er didn't get much information. She just wanted to ask people. When people saw that she was from the Palace of Compassion, they didn't tell her anything at all, let alone the palace in Lin Jinhua's palace. The inside mouth is the tightest.
The Empress Dowager Jiang saw that she hadn't inquired about anything and came back, so she was not in a hurry, she knew: "Can you see the prince and princess?"
"I saw this. I was playing under the corridor of the side hall. I went out of the palace yesterday and bought a lot of gadgets in the market. The two had a great time." Xi'er mentioned the two of them, and she was also happy. laughed.
"Really..." Empress Dowager Jiang laughed, but she couldn't help coughing again. After she finally finished coughing and vomited blood, she finally said: "Take time to think of a way, Aijia really wants to die, see you later." Prince and Princess."
When Qian'er heard this, she quickly comforted her: "Queen Mother, don't say that, you will live a long life. Don't worry, when the empress recovers, this servant will beg the empress to bring the princess and the prince."
The Empress Dowager Jiang shook her head with a wry smile, and said: "Qian'er, Aijia feels that she may not live for a few more days, you silly girl, Aijia only wants to arrange you before death. You are not old now. It’s too young, it’s time to let her out of the palace to match someone.”
It was the first time for Qian'er to hear Empress Dowager Jiang say such words to her, she immediately burst into tears: "Empress Dowager, this servant will wait on you without leaving the palace."
It's a pity that her loyalty has long been unable to impress the almost numb heart of Empress Dowager Jiang.
Seeing her like this, Empress Dowager Jiang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then said with emotion: "Don't worry, the Ai family will not treat you badly. I just hope that if I can see the prince and princess before I die, I can die too." I have to rest in peace."
"Queen Mother..." Seeing how persistent she is, Xi'er has no doubt that she has other purposes. In her opinion, although Queen Mother Jiang looks a bit fierce, she really loves and loves little princesses. Of the hawthorn pills that the princess gave her, she always took out one when she was saddest, saying that it was sweet enough to her heart.
Thinking of this, she secretly made up her mind: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, this servant will definitely find a way."
Empress Dowager Jiang saw her staring at her firmly with red eyes, and smiled slightly.
After sending her away, the smile on his face slowly fell.
She looked at the white tent, thinking that in her withered body, there would eventually be tears falling from the corners of her eyes, but it was because of her absurd life.
She thought that she had never left anything behind in her life, and she hadn't done anything for Huaiyan. Maybe before she died, she could still help him and make him the emperor of the ages!
The snow in the capital slowly fell, small pieces falling into the pond thinly, and soon melted into the water, until a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the water, and finally accumulated slowly , into a layer of white frost covering the ice.
Xu Zhaozhao propped his chin and watched the snow turn into frost. Because of the cold air, he couldn't help but sneezed, and then he came out of the emotion of missing Yuan Shao.
"There are frequent reports of success at the border. Yuan Shao should be back soon." Mrs. Xu walked over from behind and said with a slight smile.
"Mother." Xu Zhaozhao got up, and Mrs. Xu just turned around and took a cloak to cover her, and gave her her hand warmer, and then supported her shoulders, looked at her carefully, and said : "My Zhaozhao is also a big girl. Now that she is a married woman, she also starts to miss her husband."
Hearing what she said, Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel his ears warm up. He hugged her arm coquettishly and called mother, Madam Xu patted her head dotingly, and said: "How big a girl is, how can you still act like a baby?" , let people see it, and want to laugh at you."
Xu Zhaozhao didn't care: "Let them laugh, no one can laugh at me in front of me now."
Mrs. Xu shook her head helplessly seeing her smug look, and then said: "The court has heard that Yuan Shao will be back around the New Year's Eve, you, now go to the street with your mother to buy things for this year's New Year's Eve .”
Xu Zhaozhao was stunned, and immediately looked at her excitedly: "You really want to go back?"
"People from the imperial court said that they were barbarians who had already been beaten and retreated." Mrs. Xu didn't understand government affairs, nor did she understand war affairs. She only knew the result, and she was happy when the result was good.
Seeing the confirmed news, Xu Zhaozhao immediately jumped up happily.
Seeing that it was still snowing outside, she quickly asked someone to bring an umbrella, and took Mrs. Xu out with the umbrella herself. When she left, she specially asked someone to bring a few large strings of copper coins.
"Miss, what are you doing with so much copper money? Let's take the silver to save trouble." The servant girl asked her puzzled.
Xu Zhaozhao only smiled slightly: "It's snowing a lot this year, those beggars probably don't have any winter clothes to keep out the cold..." Thinking of this, she simply said: "Go and tell the housekeeper of the Yuan family to buy more winter clothes and distribute them to the street. Those homeless people, and, open two more porridge sheds."
The servant girl knew that she was fine seeing Yuan Shao, so she was happy, so she quickly agreed to do it.
Mrs. Xu laughed, looked at her and said: "Don't worry, this year the emperor and the empress started, and many ministers of the court spontaneously opened porridge sheds, but this year the number of refugees has decreased a lot, and the land has been re-divided. Many beggars have been sent home, and there are no more beggars in the capital, and the porridge sheds of those adults can’t finish all the porridge.”
"Really?" Xu Zhaozhao still didn't believe it. In the past, as soon as it snowed, many people in the capital would freeze to death and starve to death, but now there are no more?
Mrs. Xu smiled at her: "During this time, you only think about Yuan Shao, and you don't come out for a walk, so naturally you don't know."
The mother and daughter were talking, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the market.
There are many shops in the market, and there are many ladies and ladies coming and going, and the surrounding area is cleaned up, and officers and soldiers patrol from time to time. If they see someone who is about to starve to death or freeze to death, they will take them directly to the porridge shed.
Seeing the prosperous appearance of people coming and going, Xu Zhaozhao finally laughed: "It seems that Daqi will definitely become the most prosperous Daqi!"
Mrs. Xu also got off the carriage. She believed that Daqi would get better and better. The world was initially settled, and all peoples would be unified. No one could stop it, not even the former overlord Beiyan.
"Hey, Mrs. Xu, look at my Rouge..."
"Look at my jade..."
The boss in the shop almost knelt down and begged them to take a look. Free delivery is fine, the only request is not to go to Linlang Pavilion next door!
Mrs. Xu smiled meaningfully, and Xu Zhaozhao was surprised: "What Linlang Pavilion?"
"Linlang Pavilion is the newly opened one. Hey, ma'am, you don't know. Ever since Linlang Pavilion opened, everything is sold in it, and everything is expensive, but Miss Biansheng and his wife have all gone. You say... Don't you think this is vicious competition..." The shopkeepers were crying with tears and snot in their noses.
Mrs. Xu smiled decently: "I am also going to Linlang Pavilion this time."
"what?"
The shopkeepers stared wide-eyed, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Xu, there are people who cheat people there, please don't go there."
"That's right, we'll sell it to you cheaply..."
Several people fought over their heads, and Madam Xu said with a faint smile: "Fake things? How did I hear that the ones sold here are the most exquisite and best in the whole country?"
When Xu Zhaozhao heard it, he quietly pulled her aside and asked, "Mother, what you said is true, it must be a black shop."
"Hua'er's shop is a black shop?" Mrs. Xu asked her quietly.
Xu Zhaozhao was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "How can my cousin have time to open a shop?"
Mrs. Xu nodded her forehead, then smiled and said: "She doesn't have time, but her people have time, look, this Linlang Pavilion has been built for half a month." Pointing to a gorgeous pavilion full of people.
Xu Zhaozhao blinked: "But... what does she earn so much money for?"
Mrs. Xu also sighed. She guessed that she probably planned to run away.
Not long after, they dragged Xu Zhaozhao over, but someone inside had already opened a green passage for them, and invited them directly to the sixth floor, the highest.
The sixth floor not only has a beautiful view, but also has the most gorgeous private room for people to rest in. Even the tea they drink is handcrafted by the most beautiful tea ladies, and the teas are selected piece by piece, all of which are top quality.
Qu Ge looked at Xu Zhaozhao who was sizing up in this room, and said with a smile: "Miss Xu is here, the empress has already asked the minnv to prepare a gift for the miss."
"Gift?" Xu Zhaozhao turned his head to look, and saw two maids coming in with a small plate each.
Xu Zhaozhao was still thinking about what it was, when he saw a set of exquisite haircuts lying on the soft white satin cloth in the middle of the plate.
A set of plum blossoms is suitable for the occasion, plum red dots, embellished with small and round pearls, and golden tassels are dropped, which is extravagant and elegant.
The other set is the peach blossom headgear that Xu Zhaozhao saw Wang Ruyan wear, a whole set of jewelry made of pink peach blossoms, so elegant that you can't take your eyes off it, and there are two sets of underwear made of silk as a matching set. Xu Zhaozhao was dumbfounded for a moment by the wide-sleeved gown with bright red bottom and a long skirt with pink and white embroidered pink flowers.
"Is this... all prepared by the empress for me?" Xu Zhaozhao raised his eyes and asked.
"Yes, the empress said, when you got married, she was not there, so she asked the women to do it. The women rushed to work day and night, and they didn't finish it until today. Please punish me." Qu Ge saluted with a smile.
Only then did Xu Zhaozhao remember that when she was married before, the person who came to the wedding was Xin Yi who pretended to be Cheng Hua'er's sister. Thinking of this, she finally smiled moved, wishing that her cousin's thoughts would be taken away. Remember yourself like this.
Seeing her emotion, Qu Ge smiled slightly: "Minnv is going to prepare food for Madam and Miss. There is a chef invited from Jiangnan who is best at making all kinds of snacks. Madam and Miss must try it later!"
Xu Zhaozhao nodded quickly, and waited until she led the people back, then turned to look at Mrs. Xu, laughed, with wet eyes: "I thought Sister Hua'er didn't remember me."
"How can you think so? Although the imperial court really agreed to let Yuan Shao play, it doesn't mean that you don't care about it. Your sister Hua'er will always be your sister Hua'er. She has suffered so much for so many years. To this day, if I really don't regard you as relatives, I don't need to care about you." Mrs. Xu knew that she was young, and she would inevitably have doubts in her heart when she heard other people's words, but Jinhua thought of it early, and she was so tolerant .
Xu Zhaozhao himself blushed with guilt, and said, "I'll ask the order to enter the palace later."
"That's what I mean too. The new year is coming soon, and there are many things to do in the palace. Now that Hua'er is pregnant, I'm afraid she has enough energy to spare. We just entered the palace to see if there is anything we can do to help." Mrs. Xu smiled lovingly: "Besides, before entering the palace, I want you to do one thing."
"What's the matter? It's okay for mother to say it straight." Xu Zhaozhao asked hurriedly.
"Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "This matter should have been done by your father or your elder brother, but there are too many court affairs, your father can't leave, and your elder brother is going to Mongolia, so I can only let you do it." . "After finishing speaking, he pulled her to his side and gave some soft instructions.
After hearing this, Xu Zhaozhao was a little surprised, but he understood his mother's thoughts.
"Mother, don't worry, after seeing Sister Hua'er, Zhao Zhao will be able to set off there." Xu Zhaozhao said seriously.
Mrs. Xu gave her a loving look, then smiled softly, and the matter was finally settled.
But when they arrived in the palace, the three of Mo Feng, including Wang Ruyan, were also there. It was almost the end of the year, and Lin Jinhua had to make up his mind on all matters in the palace, so they couldn't bear it.
So when they saw Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhaozhao coming, they all smiled knowingly.
Mrs. Xu led Xu Zhaozhao forward, but she didn't see Lin Jinhua, and asked in surprise, "Where's your mother?"
"Your Majesty has been very sleepy these past few days." After Mo Xue finished serving the tea, Mo Feng got up and said, "Then I'll go prepare soup for your Majesty..."
"Okay, Mrs. Gao, how can I bother you to work in the kitchen now." Mo Xue laughed immediately.
Mo Feng blushed when he was called out like this, and Mo Yue hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "We are still maidservants of the empress, and even if we are servants, we should serve the empress." After speaking, she got up and smiled with Mo Feng Go in the direction of the kitchen.
Mo Xue didn't stop her even if she wanted to, and Mo Hua wanted to get up, but she was immediately pulled back by Mo Xue: "You are the Seventh Princess now..."
"So I won't go to the kitchen. I'll go inside to see if the incense is lit. The maids below are always clumsy. The empress doesn't like too strong incense..." She was walking, but Mo Xue just wanted to stop her. No chance to interrupt.
She still wanted to chase after her, so Wang Ruyan smiled and said: "Leave them alone, you only get married, and you can't really treat them as water to be thrown out. Now that the empress is not feeling well, everyone is anxious and can't help, so I can only do it." Something else."
Xu Zhaozhao also sighed, it would be great if she knew medical skills.
Mrs. Xu also pulled Mo Xue and said softly, "Did the imperial doctor come to see you?"
"The imperial doctor has come, but the empress has not woken up since she fell asleep, and the slaves can't invite the imperial doctor in without authorization." Mo Xue wondered.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the door curtain lifted, and then Zhao Huaiyan walked in, with a little snow on her shoulders, with a little worry in her eyes: "Let the imperial doctor in."
"Yes." Mo Xue responded immediately, Zhao Huaiyan looked at Madam Xu, and said: "If Auntie is worried, you can come in together."
"Yes." Mrs. Xu heard that he was calling her aunt just like Lin Jinhua, and got up quickly, but her eyes were full of smiles. Fortunately, Hua'er found a good husband.
Soon, several people went in together.
Lin Jinhua was lying on the bed, as if in a deep sleep, even if Zhao Huaiyan sat down by the bed, she didn't respond at all.
The imperial doctor lowered his head and slowly walked to the bedside and knelt down. After putting a layer of gauze on Lin Jinhua's wrist, he let go of his pulse.
But for a long time, there was no movement.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but said, "Emperor doctor, how about your majesty?"
The imperial physician thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is no abnormality in her body, and the fetus is also fine."
"Since that's the case, why does the empress keep waking up after sleeping for so long? And she usually sleeps longer and longer." Xiaoling couldn't help but ask.
"This..." The imperial physician had never encountered such a situation, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being incompetent. I have practiced medicine for so many years, and I have never encountered such a situation, but judging from the pulse condition , Empress's body is fine, she is very safe."
It's not the first time Zhao Huaiyan heard such words. Hearing the words, naturally he didn't do anything to him, but said in a deep voice: "After you go back, consult with the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, look through the ancient books, and read what happened."
Seeing that he didn't punish himself, the imperial doctor nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I will do it now!" After speaking, he hurriedly saluted and left.
As soon as he left, everyone looked worriedly at the person on the bed, but Lin Jinhua still didn't realize it, because she was completely trapped in that piece of nothingness, there was nothing in it, and her memory seemed to be It was slowly fading, and even she almost forgot why she came here and where she was going.
"I know why my aunt came to the palace this time. Hua'er also needs relatives to accompany her. In the next few days, I will trouble my aunt." Zhao Huaiyan turned to look at Mrs. Xu and said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Mrs. Xu quickly responded.She looked at Zhao Huaiyan's eyes full of worry, then looked at Xu Zhaozhao and Wang Ruyan, and said: "Let's step back first, and come back when the mother wakes up."
"Yes." Xu Zhaozhao and Wang Ruyan naturally knew that Zhao Huaiyan wanted to be alone with Lin Jinhua now, so they immediately bowed together and retreated.
After they left, Zhao Huaiyan looked deeply at the person on the bed.
He held her hand in his palm, but didn't understand.If it wasn't because of Hua'er's body, could it be because of rebirth?But he also remembers the things in his previous life, so does he count as rebirth?But why has he never encountered such a situation?
As he thought about it, his eyes suddenly fell on Lin Jinhua's stomach.
It seems that since having this child, Hua'er began to fall into nightmares continuously, and even the situation was extremely dangerous several times.
He stared intently at the stomach with serious eyes, and the child in the stomach seemed to feel it, moved, and Lin Jinhua, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes suddenly.
"Hua'er!" Seeing her wake up, Zhao Huaiyan immediately looked away.
Lin Jinhua looked straight at the top of the tent, feeling the flood of memories pouring into her mind, and after a long while, she finally remembered everything.
She looked at Huaiyan who was close at hand, tears fell instantly, she got up and hugged him tightly: "Huaiyan, I seem to have slept for a long time, so long that I almost forgot you and everyone."
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her in his arms and comforted her carefully, but her doubts about the child she was carrying grew bigger and bigger. Could it be that everything that happened to Hua'er was because of this child?
"Hua'er, you were in the dream, didn't you see anything?" Zhao Huaiyan asked her suddenly.
"Dream..." Lin Jinhua thought about it carefully, and finally shook her head: "I didn't see anything, there was only a blank..." As she spoke, she suddenly smiled and said, "Huaiyan, I feel that there is something wrong in my belly." The child may be a girl, have you invited the imperial physician? Did you ask him?"
Seeing her joyful look, Zhao Huaiyan wanted to tell her his guess, but hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed all the words back.Maybe this time it was just a coincidence, or maybe there was nothing at all.
Thinking about it like this, he finally said with a slight smile: "It's fine for my daughter, she's as cute as Jiu'er..."
He had just finished mentioning the wine when Lin Jinhua felt the baby in her stomach move, and she laughed: "My younger sister seems to like sister Jiu'er very much."
Zhao Huaiyan also showed a little smile, but looking at her belly, she could clearly feel that the child she was carrying seemed to be very afraid of herself.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, fear is the best, if he dares to hurt Hua'er again, he will definitely not let her off lightly!
Because Lin Jinyu had already woken up, Mo Feng and Mrs. Xu gathered together, and it was a small banquet at night. It was just that they were all relatives, and everyone had a good time together without much restraint.
Grapes and wine are the most lively places. Today, all the aunts and aunts I like are the ones who love the two of them the most. So during the meal, their mouths seemed to be smeared with honey, and they were full of laughter. Everyone at the table was very happy.
But Jiuer is a typical example of the scars being healed and forgetting the pain. After eating, seeing that the aunts only talked to their mothers, and the father took the prince and brother to the imperial study, she just braved up and sneaked out alone. went.
Lin Jinhua has an open and secret management attitude towards her. On the surface, she can do whatever she wants, as long as she knows how to bear the consequences. Anyway, in the dark, her people are watching carefully, crying and making trouble. It's all up to her, as long as the principle is not broken, otherwise, with Jiu'er's mischievous character, the more he restrains her, the more mischievous she will become. It's better to let her be naughty enough, so she can know her limits earlier.
Jiu'er slid out quietly with her waist down, thinking that no one would see her, but in fact everyone was staring at her from the corner of their eyes.
Seeing her hugging the door, carefully raising her short legs and stepping over the high threshold, they all secretly smiled, but Jiu'er accidentally stepped on her skirt and almost fell off. Madam Xu was so frightened that she wanted to leave immediately. She went to help, but was held back by Lin Jinhua. Seeing him fall over the threshold and sit on the ground, she was about to open her mouth to cry in pain, but she seemed to have thought of her purpose, and immediately pursed her mouth tightly, crying The flow stopped, but he didn't cry out, got up and left by himself.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua glanced at Mo Xue, and Mo Xue immediately followed quietly knowingly.
Mrs. Xu was still worried, but Lin Jinhua smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's probably going to play with Mr. Su, and she will definitely take the west road. She fell once before. I don't know if she will fall again today."
Seeing her smiling, everyone was also happy.
"Could it be that Jiu'er has fallen before?" Xu Zhaozhao asked immediately.
"I have fallen, I have fallen twice, let's see if the third time will make me remember." Lin Jinhua bent her eyes, although she felt that it was very immature to watch her daughter go to play with other boys, but she looked at her With so many pairs of expectant eyes present, he slapped the table and stood up: "Go, I'll show you!" After speaking, he led a group of people with his big belly and quietly went out.
Jiu'er is still touching her little butt to comfort herself, the girl should be strong and don't cry, completely unaware that a large group of people have quietly followed behind her.
(End of this chapter)
When Lin Jinhua arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she found that except for Qian'er, everyone else was guarding the door. Although they were panicked, they didn't look like they were tied up or had anything to do with it.
Xi'er was surprised and asked them: "Are all the nuns here? Then, where have you been?"
The leading nun then came out and said: "It was the queen mother who asked the slaves to rest in the west wing and said that they would come out later. Who knew that the queen mother went out by herself."
"Go out by yourself?" Lin Jinhua asked her.
The nanny nodded: "It was she who went out by herself. The servant saw it with her own eyes. She was walking with the imperial physician."
"Doctor?" Mo Xue looked at them coldly: "Didn't I tell you that the queen mother is not allowed to leave the palace?"
"This……"
Several nuns looked at each other and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
Lin Jinhua only turned around and looked at Zhao Huaiyan, Zhao Huaiyan said softly, "Go back and rest first, I'll go and have a look."
Lin Jinhua nodded. After all, she was his biological mother, and now that she had gone out, she couldn't say anything, let alone bring him back.
After watching Zhao Huaiyan leave, she glanced at the nuns kneeling on the ground: "What did the queen mother order? Why did you leave the palace?"
"The empress dowager only said that she was bored, and she was always ill. She told the imperial physician to go out for a walk, and the imperial physician did not dare to disobey, so..." the nuns said tremblingly.
"Forget it, now that you're out, go out, Qian'er, it's cold outside, so take your cloak and go find the queen mother." Lin Jinhua ordered.As long as the Empress Dowager Jiang stopped being a monster, she could actually be allowed to come out, after all, she had been imprisoned for so long.
Xi'er kept saying yes, and as soon as she left, Mo Xue helped Lin Jinhua turn around and went back, asking her as she walked, "Your Majesty doesn't care?"
"So what can I worry about, after all, she is the emperor's biological mother." Lin Jinhua could only smile slightly after thinking about it.
"It would be great if the Empress Dowager Jiang knew how to repent. The empress and the emperor have gone through untold hardships to get to this day. If she does something to harm the empress, the servant will never allow it." Mo Xue thought of those catastrophes before, and then thought Now that the days are a little more peaceful, if the Empress Dowager Sijiang intends to destroy them, she will never let them go.
Lin Jinhua also smiled slightly: "I hope." But the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. The personality of the Empress Dowager Jiang has been cultivated for decades. If she wants to change it completely overnight, I'm afraid she will tell I don't believe it, it depends on how much she cherishes her life, and how much she cherishes the present life.
The imperial palace is not big, so Zhao Huaiyan quickly found the Empress Dowager Jiang in the imperial garden. At that time, the Empress Dowager Jiang was sitting in the pavilion in the center of the lake, watching the lake quietly until Zhao Huaiyan came over.
"Your Majesty..." The imperial physician on one side hurriedly knelt down to salute, Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently: "Back down."
"Yes!" The imperial physician couldn't wait more, upon hearing this, he hurriedly got up to pack his things and left.
As soon as he left, the Empress Dowager Jiang smiled slightly: "Are you afraid that Ai's family will run away? This harem is fortified with iron walls, and Ai's family is no longer the former concubine, so I can't escape."
Zhao Huaiyan didn't speak, just stood on one side looking at the wind-wrinkled lake surface, frowning slightly.
After a long while, Qian'er took the cloak, and the Empress Dowager Jiang saw her red eyes, and felt touched in her heart, and finally said: "Scared you?"
"It's all because the slaves didn't take good care of the Queen Mother, and they didn't even know that you came out, the Queen Mother." Qian'er choked up and said, and the Queen Mother Jiang laughed, patted her hand, and finally said: "It's none of your business, it's I'm going to keep it from you. It's cold here, you're wearing thin clothes, go back and add some clothes first."
Although Xi'er is usually a bit stupid, she can't understand the words, and Empress Dowager Jiang doesn't want her here to disturb her and the emperor.
She immediately saluted obediently, and then led everyone around her to retreat.
After they all left, Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a smile and said, "I heard that the empress married off all the maids around her today?"
"Ah."
"She's such an incomprehensible person." He held a grand wedding for his maids, and even let them marry from the Lin family as a young lady. Wouldn't he lift the maids to the same height as him?
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her calm face, and said indifferently: "Hua'er is someone you will never understand."
"Why?"
"Because you are selfish." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, her complexion sank a little, and she said: "It's not early, you should go back to the Ci Ning Palace earlier, if you think about it later, you can come out, but you are not allowed to go to the Hua'er Palace." Come on, turn around and walk away.
Empress Dowager Jiang hurriedly turned to look at him: "In your heart, am I, the biological mother, still inferior to your wife?"
Zhao Huaiyan stopped slightly, but without turning her head, she said firmly, "In my heart, Hua'er is the last thing I want. As for the Empress Dowager Jiang, I have already made your wish come true. From now on, you can be the Empress Dowager with peace of mind. Until he is buried with the late emperor." After speaking, he left without looking back.
Empress Dowager Jiang just looked at his back like this, as if she couldn't catch him from a distance.
She is used to controlling everything in the palm of her hand, including this son, but she didn't expect that in the end, it was all in vain.
She watched his back disappear, and finally turned her head to look at the calm lake, her heart was full of waves, and she suddenly had the same mentality as the old queen before, if she wanted to achieve a career and become a famous emperor through the ages, how Can be tired by a woman, especially a woman like Lin Jinhua.
She still remembers how the old queen forced the emperor to kill herself.
Lin Jinhua, Lin Jinhua, you can't blame me for this. If you want to blame, you can only blame you for blocking my way and Huaiyan's way.
She lowered her eyes, took out the small white jade bottle from her sleeve, and let the cold wind dry the tears in her eyes. Finally, she threw the jade bottle into the opposite lake.
When night fell, Lin Jinhua heard Mo Xue's report.
"The dark guard saw the Empress Dowager Jiang throwing away the jade bottle with his own eyes," Mo Xue said.
"It seems that Empress Dowager Jiang is planning to make one last fight." Lin Jinhua sighed faintly, thinking that after struggling for so long, she would eventually hold back the evil thoughts in her heart and spend the rest of her life peacefully like this, but she didn't expect that she would still Don't give up.
Hearing this, Mo Xue looked at her and said, "What is the lady going to do? If she is left alone like this, something bad will happen."
"It's not a bad thing. Now that I've watched her, nothing will happen. I'm just worried..." Lin Jinyu sighed quietly. She was just worried that if something happened to the Empress Dowager Jiang regardless, or Forced herself to be ruthless, then how would she face Huai Yan.
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes and exhaled slowly, before finally saying: "Forget it, keep an eye on the person first, and report any changes at any time."
Seeing her like this, Mo Xue couldn't say much, so she could only answer first.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua looked at her belly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, not knowing whether her baby was a boy or a girl.
The night passed, and Zhao Huaiyan was busy in the study until late at night before returning, and by then Lin Jinhua had already fallen asleep.
She was lying on her side on the bed, sleeping soundly. Several candles were lit in the room, and the candlelight fell on her face, making her facial features look softer.
He sat on the side of the bed and raised his hand to caress her face. She only hummed a few times, then raised her hand and grabbed his hand as a pillow, and continued to sleep soundly.
He smiled softly, looked at her quiet eyebrows and eyes, and felt that he had no regrets in this life.
No matter what queen mother is, no matter what fetters, he will take good care of her and prevent her from suffering any more wind and rain.
"Your Majesty, I will wait for you to change your clothes." Xiaolong came in from the outside and said softly.
"No need, step back." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly.
Xiaolong immediately responded, and then retreated politely. After she left, Zhao Huaiyan withdrew her hand, covered Lin Jinhua with the quilt again, got up and went out.
The guard, Ah Zhong, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming out, he dared to come forward and said: "Reporting to the emperor, I have already consulted the imperial physician, and the imperial physician said that the empress dowager's physical condition may not survive for three months."
"Three months..."
"Yes." Ah Zhong replied.
Zhao Huaiyan only thought about the secret guards going back and forth at the same time. The Queen Mother obviously had other plans. Now she must know that she would not live for three months, so she would definitely think of a way to do something.
Thinking of this, he finally said: "You stare at the queen mother yourself."
Ah Zhong hesitated for a moment: "Are you worried about the Queen Mother's condition?"
"Keep an eye on her every move, no matter what she eats or uses, she should write it down, and tell the nuns of the Compassion Ning Palace to take care of her." Zhao Huaiyan said coldly.
"Yes!"
After Ah Zhong left, he raised his head to look at the dark night, his heart seemed to be full of dust, he couldn't figure out why the concubine mother had abandoned him before, why she still refused to let him go until now.
It was late at night, and the cold wind was blowing, and occasionally the sound of dead branches being crushed by snow could still be heard.
Zhao Huaiyan was sleepless, and so was Empress Dowager Jiang.
She leaned against the bed, watched the candles in the candlestick burn slowly, and finally closed her eyes deeply.
Early the next morning, Qian'er came to see Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua seemed to be drowsy again in the past two days and wanted to sleep again, and at times like this, she always fell asleep more and more every time. For some reason, it seemed that there was another voice calling her in the dream, making her want to Want to sleep forever, but dare not sleep.
When she met Xi'er in the morning, she was in a daze, until she came, she leaned against the warm couch with her forehead and asked softly: "What's the matter, but the queen mother is busy?"
Xi'er immediately knelt down on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, after the queen mother had a blow yesterday, her health became worse and worse, and the imperial doctor said there was nothing to do. This servant girl knows that my mother's medical skills are the best in the world, so this servant girl dared to ask her to give her a hand. Empress Dowager Fangzi, I beg your mother!" After speaking, he began to kowtow, making a loud bang.
Lin Jinhua knew that she was sincere. Yesterday she saw that she had smashed her head, but she came again today because she was really loyal to the Queen Mother.
Lin Jinhua managed to pull out a sliver of rationality from her drowsiness, looked at her and said, "Do you think I am capable of prescribing prescriptions now?"
"But……"
"Don't worry, after two days, the Palace will definitely go to see the Queen Mother in person. The medical skills of the Palace are just rumors. There are so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital who have practiced medicine for decades. Unlike the Palace, even if they really practice medicine, they are only qualified. It's only been a few years." Lin Jinhua tried her best to keep her tone calm, now that she is not feeling well, she has to be more on guard against Empress Dowager Jiang, even though Xi'er's request seems reasonable and she has no intentions, but she can't help it. She still has a baby in her belly.
Qian'er was also stunned for a moment, seeing that she was indeed in a bad mood, she didn't dare to continue begging, she just said: "It's the servant who is stupid. It's just that the medical skills of the empress are famous all over the world. The empress dowager is seriously ill now, and the imperial doctors are helpless... "
Seeing that she was still confused, Mo Xue said, "If the Empress Dowager can go, she will go. It's just that the Empress Dowager has not been in good health for the past two days, she is also a sick person, how can she treat the Empress Dowager?"
"Yes." Xi'er hurriedly bowed her head in apology.
"Okay, you go back first." Mo Xue said.
Qian'er looked at Lin Jinhua again, finally bit her lip, saluted and left.
As soon as she left, Mo Xue called the nanny who was guarding the door: "In the future, when Xi'er and the people from the Palace of Compassionate Ning come to see you, you can just send them back. You don't need to bring them to see your mother. Even if you want to see them, you have to wait." The empress waits for a while before speaking."
When the nuns heard this, they immediately nodded in fear, and then went out.
Lin Jinhua sighed slightly, but she was extremely sleepy, so she barely opened her eyes and said to Mo Xue, "I'll leave the matter to you for the time being, and I'll go to sleep for a while." This sleepiness seems to come every once in a while , Think about it, when did it start?It seems that it is time to conceive this child...
When Lin Jinhua supported Xiaoling's hand to go inside, she put her hand on her stomach, and the person in her stomach seemed to feel her own thoughts, and even moved, and she became a little more energetic.
She suddenly felt that the child in her belly must be a daughter, and this feeling was very strong.
She finally said: "When I wake up, I will invite the imperial physician."
"Yes." Xiaoling quickly responded, carefully waited for her to lie down, and then went to deliver the order.
Xi'er returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and heard the coughing of Empress Dowager Jiang from a long distance away.
She walked in quickly, and smelled a bloody smell.
"Empress Dowager..." She saw the face lying on the bed vomiting blood, and hurried up, but the Empress Dowager Jiang only took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her mouth, and slowly leaned on the bedside with her hand, and finally said: "Why?" Sample?"
"The empress said that she herself is not in good health. After this period of time, she will recover and come to see you, Empress Dowager." Xi'er said cautiously.
Empress Dowager Jiang was surprised when she heard the words: "Is she not in good health?"
"Yeah." Qian'er nodded, remembering the scene of seeing Lin Jinhua, she said: "My servant saw that the empress seemed to be very sleepy, and her complexion was also very bad, and the maids around were very cautious. This servant thought, maybe it's the child in her belly It's making a fuss, so the empress didn't sleep well last night."
"It's just that I didn't sleep, okay?" Empress Dowager Jiang didn't believe it. Lin Jinhua is a doctor herself, and the child is fussy. She should have a hundred ways to cure it. Qian'er said that her complexion was bad, could it be some kind of illness?
After she finished speaking, she asked a few more questions, but Xi'er didn't get much information. She just wanted to ask people. When people saw that she was from the Palace of Compassion, they didn't tell her anything at all, let alone the palace in Lin Jinhua's palace. The inside mouth is the tightest.
The Empress Dowager Jiang saw that she hadn't inquired about anything and came back, so she was not in a hurry, she knew: "Can you see the prince and princess?"
"I saw this. I was playing under the corridor of the side hall. I went out of the palace yesterday and bought a lot of gadgets in the market. The two had a great time." Xi'er mentioned the two of them, and she was also happy. laughed.
"Really..." Empress Dowager Jiang laughed, but she couldn't help coughing again. After she finally finished coughing and vomited blood, she finally said: "Take time to think of a way, Aijia really wants to die, see you later." Prince and Princess."
When Qian'er heard this, she quickly comforted her: "Queen Mother, don't say that, you will live a long life. Don't worry, when the empress recovers, this servant will beg the empress to bring the princess and the prince."
The Empress Dowager Jiang shook her head with a wry smile, and said: "Qian'er, Aijia feels that she may not live for a few more days, you silly girl, Aijia only wants to arrange you before death. You are not old now. It’s too young, it’s time to let her out of the palace to match someone.”
It was the first time for Qian'er to hear Empress Dowager Jiang say such words to her, she immediately burst into tears: "Empress Dowager, this servant will wait on you without leaving the palace."
It's a pity that her loyalty has long been unable to impress the almost numb heart of Empress Dowager Jiang.
Seeing her like this, Empress Dowager Jiang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then said with emotion: "Don't worry, the Ai family will not treat you badly. I just hope that if I can see the prince and princess before I die, I can die too." I have to rest in peace."
"Queen Mother..." Seeing how persistent she is, Xi'er has no doubt that she has other purposes. In her opinion, although Queen Mother Jiang looks a bit fierce, she really loves and loves little princesses. Of the hawthorn pills that the princess gave her, she always took out one when she was saddest, saying that it was sweet enough to her heart.
Thinking of this, she secretly made up her mind: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, this servant will definitely find a way."
Empress Dowager Jiang saw her staring at her firmly with red eyes, and smiled slightly.
After sending her away, the smile on his face slowly fell.
She looked at the white tent, thinking that in her withered body, there would eventually be tears falling from the corners of her eyes, but it was because of her absurd life.
She thought that she had never left anything behind in her life, and she hadn't done anything for Huaiyan. Maybe before she died, she could still help him and make him the emperor of the ages!
The snow in the capital slowly fell, small pieces falling into the pond thinly, and soon melted into the water, until a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the water, and finally accumulated slowly , into a layer of white frost covering the ice.
Xu Zhaozhao propped his chin and watched the snow turn into frost. Because of the cold air, he couldn't help but sneezed, and then he came out of the emotion of missing Yuan Shao.
"There are frequent reports of success at the border. Yuan Shao should be back soon." Mrs. Xu walked over from behind and said with a slight smile.
"Mother." Xu Zhaozhao got up, and Mrs. Xu just turned around and took a cloak to cover her, and gave her her hand warmer, and then supported her shoulders, looked at her carefully, and said : "My Zhaozhao is also a big girl. Now that she is a married woman, she also starts to miss her husband."
Hearing what she said, Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel his ears warm up. He hugged her arm coquettishly and called mother, Madam Xu patted her head dotingly, and said: "How big a girl is, how can you still act like a baby?" , let people see it, and want to laugh at you."
Xu Zhaozhao didn't care: "Let them laugh, no one can laugh at me in front of me now."
Mrs. Xu shook her head helplessly seeing her smug look, and then said: "The court has heard that Yuan Shao will be back around the New Year's Eve, you, now go to the street with your mother to buy things for this year's New Year's Eve .”
Xu Zhaozhao was stunned, and immediately looked at her excitedly: "You really want to go back?"
"People from the imperial court said that they were barbarians who had already been beaten and retreated." Mrs. Xu didn't understand government affairs, nor did she understand war affairs. She only knew the result, and she was happy when the result was good.
Seeing the confirmed news, Xu Zhaozhao immediately jumped up happily.
Seeing that it was still snowing outside, she quickly asked someone to bring an umbrella, and took Mrs. Xu out with the umbrella herself. When she left, she specially asked someone to bring a few large strings of copper coins.
"Miss, what are you doing with so much copper money? Let's take the silver to save trouble." The servant girl asked her puzzled.
Xu Zhaozhao only smiled slightly: "It's snowing a lot this year, those beggars probably don't have any winter clothes to keep out the cold..." Thinking of this, she simply said: "Go and tell the housekeeper of the Yuan family to buy more winter clothes and distribute them to the street. Those homeless people, and, open two more porridge sheds."
The servant girl knew that she was fine seeing Yuan Shao, so she was happy, so she quickly agreed to do it.
Mrs. Xu laughed, looked at her and said: "Don't worry, this year the emperor and the empress started, and many ministers of the court spontaneously opened porridge sheds, but this year the number of refugees has decreased a lot, and the land has been re-divided. Many beggars have been sent home, and there are no more beggars in the capital, and the porridge sheds of those adults can’t finish all the porridge.”
"Really?" Xu Zhaozhao still didn't believe it. In the past, as soon as it snowed, many people in the capital would freeze to death and starve to death, but now there are no more?
Mrs. Xu smiled at her: "During this time, you only think about Yuan Shao, and you don't come out for a walk, so naturally you don't know."
The mother and daughter were talking, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the market.
There are many shops in the market, and there are many ladies and ladies coming and going, and the surrounding area is cleaned up, and officers and soldiers patrol from time to time. If they see someone who is about to starve to death or freeze to death, they will take them directly to the porridge shed.
Seeing the prosperous appearance of people coming and going, Xu Zhaozhao finally laughed: "It seems that Daqi will definitely become the most prosperous Daqi!"
Mrs. Xu also got off the carriage. She believed that Daqi would get better and better. The world was initially settled, and all peoples would be unified. No one could stop it, not even the former overlord Beiyan.
"Hey, Mrs. Xu, look at my Rouge..."
"Look at my jade..."
The boss in the shop almost knelt down and begged them to take a look. Free delivery is fine, the only request is not to go to Linlang Pavilion next door!
Mrs. Xu smiled meaningfully, and Xu Zhaozhao was surprised: "What Linlang Pavilion?"
"Linlang Pavilion is the newly opened one. Hey, ma'am, you don't know. Ever since Linlang Pavilion opened, everything is sold in it, and everything is expensive, but Miss Biansheng and his wife have all gone. You say... Don't you think this is vicious competition..." The shopkeepers were crying with tears and snot in their noses.
Mrs. Xu smiled decently: "I am also going to Linlang Pavilion this time."
"what?"
The shopkeepers stared wide-eyed, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Xu, there are people who cheat people there, please don't go there."
"That's right, we'll sell it to you cheaply..."
Several people fought over their heads, and Madam Xu said with a faint smile: "Fake things? How did I hear that the ones sold here are the most exquisite and best in the whole country?"
When Xu Zhaozhao heard it, he quietly pulled her aside and asked, "Mother, what you said is true, it must be a black shop."
"Hua'er's shop is a black shop?" Mrs. Xu asked her quietly.
Xu Zhaozhao was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "How can my cousin have time to open a shop?"
Mrs. Xu nodded her forehead, then smiled and said: "She doesn't have time, but her people have time, look, this Linlang Pavilion has been built for half a month." Pointing to a gorgeous pavilion full of people.
Xu Zhaozhao blinked: "But... what does she earn so much money for?"
Mrs. Xu also sighed. She guessed that she probably planned to run away.
Not long after, they dragged Xu Zhaozhao over, but someone inside had already opened a green passage for them, and invited them directly to the sixth floor, the highest.
The sixth floor not only has a beautiful view, but also has the most gorgeous private room for people to rest in. Even the tea they drink is handcrafted by the most beautiful tea ladies, and the teas are selected piece by piece, all of which are top quality.
Qu Ge looked at Xu Zhaozhao who was sizing up in this room, and said with a smile: "Miss Xu is here, the empress has already asked the minnv to prepare a gift for the miss."
"Gift?" Xu Zhaozhao turned his head to look, and saw two maids coming in with a small plate each.
Xu Zhaozhao was still thinking about what it was, when he saw a set of exquisite haircuts lying on the soft white satin cloth in the middle of the plate.
A set of plum blossoms is suitable for the occasion, plum red dots, embellished with small and round pearls, and golden tassels are dropped, which is extravagant and elegant.
The other set is the peach blossom headgear that Xu Zhaozhao saw Wang Ruyan wear, a whole set of jewelry made of pink peach blossoms, so elegant that you can't take your eyes off it, and there are two sets of underwear made of silk as a matching set. Xu Zhaozhao was dumbfounded for a moment by the wide-sleeved gown with bright red bottom and a long skirt with pink and white embroidered pink flowers.
"Is this... all prepared by the empress for me?" Xu Zhaozhao raised his eyes and asked.
"Yes, the empress said, when you got married, she was not there, so she asked the women to do it. The women rushed to work day and night, and they didn't finish it until today. Please punish me." Qu Ge saluted with a smile.
Only then did Xu Zhaozhao remember that when she was married before, the person who came to the wedding was Xin Yi who pretended to be Cheng Hua'er's sister. Thinking of this, she finally smiled moved, wishing that her cousin's thoughts would be taken away. Remember yourself like this.
Seeing her emotion, Qu Ge smiled slightly: "Minnv is going to prepare food for Madam and Miss. There is a chef invited from Jiangnan who is best at making all kinds of snacks. Madam and Miss must try it later!"
Xu Zhaozhao nodded quickly, and waited until she led the people back, then turned to look at Mrs. Xu, laughed, with wet eyes: "I thought Sister Hua'er didn't remember me."
"How can you think so? Although the imperial court really agreed to let Yuan Shao play, it doesn't mean that you don't care about it. Your sister Hua'er will always be your sister Hua'er. She has suffered so much for so many years. To this day, if I really don't regard you as relatives, I don't need to care about you." Mrs. Xu knew that she was young, and she would inevitably have doubts in her heart when she heard other people's words, but Jinhua thought of it early, and she was so tolerant .
Xu Zhaozhao himself blushed with guilt, and said, "I'll ask the order to enter the palace later."
"That's what I mean too. The new year is coming soon, and there are many things to do in the palace. Now that Hua'er is pregnant, I'm afraid she has enough energy to spare. We just entered the palace to see if there is anything we can do to help." Mrs. Xu smiled lovingly: "Besides, before entering the palace, I want you to do one thing."
"What's the matter? It's okay for mother to say it straight." Xu Zhaozhao asked hurriedly.
"Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "This matter should have been done by your father or your elder brother, but there are too many court affairs, your father can't leave, and your elder brother is going to Mongolia, so I can only let you do it." . "After finishing speaking, he pulled her to his side and gave some soft instructions.
After hearing this, Xu Zhaozhao was a little surprised, but he understood his mother's thoughts.
"Mother, don't worry, after seeing Sister Hua'er, Zhao Zhao will be able to set off there." Xu Zhaozhao said seriously.
Mrs. Xu gave her a loving look, then smiled softly, and the matter was finally settled.
But when they arrived in the palace, the three of Mo Feng, including Wang Ruyan, were also there. It was almost the end of the year, and Lin Jinhua had to make up his mind on all matters in the palace, so they couldn't bear it.
So when they saw Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhaozhao coming, they all smiled knowingly.
Mrs. Xu led Xu Zhaozhao forward, but she didn't see Lin Jinhua, and asked in surprise, "Where's your mother?"
"Your Majesty has been very sleepy these past few days." After Mo Xue finished serving the tea, Mo Feng got up and said, "Then I'll go prepare soup for your Majesty..."
"Okay, Mrs. Gao, how can I bother you to work in the kitchen now." Mo Xue laughed immediately.
Mo Feng blushed when he was called out like this, and Mo Yue hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "We are still maidservants of the empress, and even if we are servants, we should serve the empress." After speaking, she got up and smiled with Mo Feng Go in the direction of the kitchen.
Mo Xue didn't stop her even if she wanted to, and Mo Hua wanted to get up, but she was immediately pulled back by Mo Xue: "You are the Seventh Princess now..."
"So I won't go to the kitchen. I'll go inside to see if the incense is lit. The maids below are always clumsy. The empress doesn't like too strong incense..." She was walking, but Mo Xue just wanted to stop her. No chance to interrupt.
She still wanted to chase after her, so Wang Ruyan smiled and said: "Leave them alone, you only get married, and you can't really treat them as water to be thrown out. Now that the empress is not feeling well, everyone is anxious and can't help, so I can only do it." Something else."
Xu Zhaozhao also sighed, it would be great if she knew medical skills.
Mrs. Xu also pulled Mo Xue and said softly, "Did the imperial doctor come to see you?"
"The imperial doctor has come, but the empress has not woken up since she fell asleep, and the slaves can't invite the imperial doctor in without authorization." Mo Xue wondered.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the door curtain lifted, and then Zhao Huaiyan walked in, with a little snow on her shoulders, with a little worry in her eyes: "Let the imperial doctor in."
"Yes." Mo Xue responded immediately, Zhao Huaiyan looked at Madam Xu, and said: "If Auntie is worried, you can come in together."
"Yes." Mrs. Xu heard that he was calling her aunt just like Lin Jinhua, and got up quickly, but her eyes were full of smiles. Fortunately, Hua'er found a good husband.
Soon, several people went in together.
Lin Jinhua was lying on the bed, as if in a deep sleep, even if Zhao Huaiyan sat down by the bed, she didn't respond at all.
The imperial doctor lowered his head and slowly walked to the bedside and knelt down. After putting a layer of gauze on Lin Jinhua's wrist, he let go of his pulse.
But for a long time, there was no movement.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but said, "Emperor doctor, how about your majesty?"
The imperial physician thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is no abnormality in her body, and the fetus is also fine."
"Since that's the case, why does the empress keep waking up after sleeping for so long? And she usually sleeps longer and longer." Xiaoling couldn't help but ask.
"This..." The imperial physician had never encountered such a situation, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being incompetent. I have practiced medicine for so many years, and I have never encountered such a situation, but judging from the pulse condition , Empress's body is fine, she is very safe."
It's not the first time Zhao Huaiyan heard such words. Hearing the words, naturally he didn't do anything to him, but said in a deep voice: "After you go back, consult with the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, look through the ancient books, and read what happened."
Seeing that he didn't punish himself, the imperial doctor nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I will do it now!" After speaking, he hurriedly saluted and left.
As soon as he left, everyone looked worriedly at the person on the bed, but Lin Jinhua still didn't realize it, because she was completely trapped in that piece of nothingness, there was nothing in it, and her memory seemed to be It was slowly fading, and even she almost forgot why she came here and where she was going.
"I know why my aunt came to the palace this time. Hua'er also needs relatives to accompany her. In the next few days, I will trouble my aunt." Zhao Huaiyan turned to look at Mrs. Xu and said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Mrs. Xu quickly responded.She looked at Zhao Huaiyan's eyes full of worry, then looked at Xu Zhaozhao and Wang Ruyan, and said: "Let's step back first, and come back when the mother wakes up."
"Yes." Xu Zhaozhao and Wang Ruyan naturally knew that Zhao Huaiyan wanted to be alone with Lin Jinhua now, so they immediately bowed together and retreated.
After they left, Zhao Huaiyan looked deeply at the person on the bed.
He held her hand in his palm, but didn't understand.If it wasn't because of Hua'er's body, could it be because of rebirth?But he also remembers the things in his previous life, so does he count as rebirth?But why has he never encountered such a situation?
As he thought about it, his eyes suddenly fell on Lin Jinhua's stomach.
It seems that since having this child, Hua'er began to fall into nightmares continuously, and even the situation was extremely dangerous several times.
He stared intently at the stomach with serious eyes, and the child in the stomach seemed to feel it, moved, and Lin Jinhua, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes suddenly.
"Hua'er!" Seeing her wake up, Zhao Huaiyan immediately looked away.
Lin Jinhua looked straight at the top of the tent, feeling the flood of memories pouring into her mind, and after a long while, she finally remembered everything.
She looked at Huaiyan who was close at hand, tears fell instantly, she got up and hugged him tightly: "Huaiyan, I seem to have slept for a long time, so long that I almost forgot you and everyone."
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her in his arms and comforted her carefully, but her doubts about the child she was carrying grew bigger and bigger. Could it be that everything that happened to Hua'er was because of this child?
"Hua'er, you were in the dream, didn't you see anything?" Zhao Huaiyan asked her suddenly.
"Dream..." Lin Jinhua thought about it carefully, and finally shook her head: "I didn't see anything, there was only a blank..." As she spoke, she suddenly smiled and said, "Huaiyan, I feel that there is something wrong in my belly." The child may be a girl, have you invited the imperial physician? Did you ask him?"
Seeing her joyful look, Zhao Huaiyan wanted to tell her his guess, but hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed all the words back.Maybe this time it was just a coincidence, or maybe there was nothing at all.
Thinking about it like this, he finally said with a slight smile: "It's fine for my daughter, she's as cute as Jiu'er..."
He had just finished mentioning the wine when Lin Jinhua felt the baby in her stomach move, and she laughed: "My younger sister seems to like sister Jiu'er very much."
Zhao Huaiyan also showed a little smile, but looking at her belly, she could clearly feel that the child she was carrying seemed to be very afraid of herself.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, fear is the best, if he dares to hurt Hua'er again, he will definitely not let her off lightly!
Because Lin Jinyu had already woken up, Mo Feng and Mrs. Xu gathered together, and it was a small banquet at night. It was just that they were all relatives, and everyone had a good time together without much restraint.
Grapes and wine are the most lively places. Today, all the aunts and aunts I like are the ones who love the two of them the most. So during the meal, their mouths seemed to be smeared with honey, and they were full of laughter. Everyone at the table was very happy.
But Jiuer is a typical example of the scars being healed and forgetting the pain. After eating, seeing that the aunts only talked to their mothers, and the father took the prince and brother to the imperial study, she just braved up and sneaked out alone. went.
Lin Jinhua has an open and secret management attitude towards her. On the surface, she can do whatever she wants, as long as she knows how to bear the consequences. Anyway, in the dark, her people are watching carefully, crying and making trouble. It's all up to her, as long as the principle is not broken, otherwise, with Jiu'er's mischievous character, the more he restrains her, the more mischievous she will become. It's better to let her be naughty enough, so she can know her limits earlier.
Jiu'er slid out quietly with her waist down, thinking that no one would see her, but in fact everyone was staring at her from the corner of their eyes.
Seeing her hugging the door, carefully raising her short legs and stepping over the high threshold, they all secretly smiled, but Jiu'er accidentally stepped on her skirt and almost fell off. Madam Xu was so frightened that she wanted to leave immediately. She went to help, but was held back by Lin Jinhua. Seeing him fall over the threshold and sit on the ground, she was about to open her mouth to cry in pain, but she seemed to have thought of her purpose, and immediately pursed her mouth tightly, crying The flow stopped, but he didn't cry out, got up and left by himself.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua glanced at Mo Xue, and Mo Xue immediately followed quietly knowingly.
Mrs. Xu was still worried, but Lin Jinhua smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's probably going to play with Mr. Su, and she will definitely take the west road. She fell once before. I don't know if she will fall again today."
Seeing her smiling, everyone was also happy.
"Could it be that Jiu'er has fallen before?" Xu Zhaozhao asked immediately.
"I have fallen, I have fallen twice, let's see if the third time will make me remember." Lin Jinhua bent her eyes, although she felt that it was very immature to watch her daughter go to play with other boys, but she looked at her With so many pairs of expectant eyes present, he slapped the table and stood up: "Go, I'll show you!" After speaking, he led a group of people with his big belly and quietly went out.
Jiu'er is still touching her little butt to comfort herself, the girl should be strong and don't cry, completely unaware that a large group of people have quietly followed behind her.
