The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 159
Seeing her crying pear blossoms with rain, and thinking of her prince who passed away due to premature birth, the emperor couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, took Xi Wei's hand and comforted him, "It's good if you are willing to come out now."

He stretched out his hand to wipe away Xi Wei's tears, caressing her lovely and pitiful face, and said with pity: "Wan'er and Rong Yue are the most temperamental in this palace, how can they blame you for being reckless for a while? I these days I seldom go to see you, but it is also because you were saddened by the death of your son in the past and rejected people thousands of miles away, so I seldom meet you, so as not to look sad. Now that you have a knot in your heart, I will go often when I am free. Sit in your palace."

Hearing what the emperor said, even though Rong Yue had doubts in her heart, she couldn't say anything inappropriate.

She and Wan Yu looked at each other, and together with the emperor, they spoke to comfort Xi Wei.

Xi Yu was so grateful that she knelt down and bowed to the three of them, choked up in her mouth, and said, "I thank the emperor, concubine Wan, concubine Xian, for your understanding, concubine will definitely abide by the palace in the future, and serve diligently, and I can't help being confused. Get mad."

After September, the weather gradually cooled down.

From that day on, Xi Wei often came to accompany Wan Yu, and the two of them had nothing to do with each other, and their relationship was much more harmonious than before.

On this day, Rong Yue came to Changchun Palace to visit Wanyu, and happened to meet Xi Wei who was about to leave, the two exchanged greetings and blessings, and Xi Wei left on her own.

When she entered the sleeping hall, Wanyu was choosing a basket of mint leaves. Seeing that Rong Yue was about to get up, Rong Yue pressed her on the seat with a smile: "The previous emperor called for a dry throat, so you just get up and do it." It's no wonder the emperor dotes on you with these trivial skills."

Wanyu handed the selected mint leaves to Shuang Ruo, took them down and steamed them dry, took the soaked handkerchief and wiped her hands, and then greeted Rong Yue to sit down: "This mint leaf refreshes the mind and calms the nerves, and it also relieves the wind and cold. For the effect of sore throat, I expected to steam it with water and then sew it into a small pillow, and put it next to the emperor's pillow at night, it will be very good for the body."

"You are the most caring." Between Rong Yue's words, she heard the voices of Xi Yu and Yu Wen laughing and chatting outside the house, and said: "She comes to your palace every day, she is too diligent."

"Can I stop people from coming?" Wanyu smiled lightly, took out the gilt armor and put it on, and said slowly: "She has a bad relationship with Yunshan, and she stays in the palace all day without anyone who can talk. No, it's really boring."

Rong Yue nodded, frowning her beautiful eyebrows, she seemed to be a little worried and said: "After all, she was such a mean person to you in the past, you should be more careful."

"Isn't Xiuyan also at odds with us in the past, now that she has resolved her knot, isn't she a very nice person?" Wan Lai put her hand on Rong Yue's forearm and pressed it: "My sister is too cautious. "

Rong Yue lowered her eyebrows, Shen Shang said: "It happened through Concubine Hui, but now I don't dare to trust others except you."

Wan Yu understood that although Rong Yue let go of that matter, she still couldn't let it go completely in her heart.

She looked at Rong Yue with a hesitant look, and she wanted to persuade her, but seeing Li Yin barging in rashly, she stammered angrily, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has a headache and is making a fuss in the palace now." Awesome, the empress has rushed to serve the sick, look at this"

Wan Lai and Rong Yue looked at each other, then calmly asked: "What did the imperial doctor say?"

Li Yin gasped and said: "The disease is a laborious disease, and there is no cure, so I can only rest quietly."

When all the concubines came to the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager was lying on the couch with her forehead covered, moaning slightly.

Everyone was anxious, but the imperial doctor's acupuncture and moxibustion medicine didn't work very well. Seeing the empress dowager so uncomfortable for a while, everyone lost their minds.

Although the bedroom of the Compassionate Ning Palace is considered spacious, how can it hold so many masters and concubines crowded into a room with the accompanying maids?

La Aunt Su Ma, who had been standing in front of the couch and kneading the empress dowager's temples, turned her head to look at the crowd, and said calmly, "Young masters, please go back, everyone is here, how can the empress dowager rest in peace?"

The concubines resigned after hearing the words, and the empress dowager left only the empress to serve by her side.

The queen took off her armor, took Lagu Su Ma's hand, and then kneaded the acupuncture points for the empress dowager herself instead of her.

Aunt Su Ma stood aside, took the benzoin from the little maid, and added a lot to the incense burner carved with the gilt lotus blossoming Tuan Shou character.It wasn't until the benzoin was fully ignited, and the hall was filled with a comfortable sweet fragrance, that he retreated to the empress dowager and empress.

The queen didn't know how long she pressed the acupuncture points for the empress dowager before she heard her moaning gradually weaken.After a long while, the Empress Dowager Fang raised her hand to stop her movement, and ordered the Empress to help her sit up.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's complexion improved slightly, the Empress hurriedly brought a bowl of soup and medicine that was simmering on the stove beside her, and said slowly: "The imperial grandmother is suffering, please take the medicine and rest."

"Where's the emperor?" The empress dowager didn't take the medicine from the empress' hands, but asked herself: "Why don't you see him?"

The queen's expression froze, and the medicine bowl in her hand was a little hot: "The previous court was busy, and the emperor is still discussing matters with the courtiers in the Qing Palace, and the ministers have not informed yet."

The queen mother felt relieved, then took the medicine bowl from the queen's hand and took two mouthfuls: "You are doing very well, mourning the family is just an old problem, the emperor has worked hard, if you still have to worry about the women in the harem, It is the sin of mourning the family."

The Empress took the medicine bowl that the Empress Dowager had finished drinking and put it aside, and took a goose feather cushion to cushion her behind.

The empress dowager shifted her slightly muddy eyes on her, and said with a slight smile: "Now you look more and more like a queen. Aijia remembers that when you first entered the palace, you were still a child who didn't understand anything. Now in a blink of an eye After so many years, Cheng Hu is almost two years old now, you have nothing to do to show him to the Ai family, the Ai family likes it."

The queen's face flushed: "I have been walking all this way, relying on the imperial grandmother's support every step of the way. In the past, I was only afraid that Chenghu's noise would disturb your cleanliness. If you like it, I will hug you every day and it will not be a problem. "

The empress dowager's smile condensed slightly on her lips, and she looked at her with a little deep meaning: "Now there is only one prince, Chenghu, in the palace, and it is unknown whether Huigui and Ronggui are carrying a man or a woman in their stomachs. .The empress has taken the limelight, so I need to spend more attention on other things."

The queen hesitated for a moment, then carefully probed: "I don't know what the emperor's grandmother said?"

The Empress Dowager casually took the beeswax [-]-child bracelet, twisted it around twice in her hand, and said slowly: "There are too many short-lived princes in this palace. Ai's family used to come from concubines. What kind of people have what kind of thoughts, Aijia sees it like a mirror in his eyes. Sometimes he pretends to be confused in order to protect the peace of the emperor's harem, but if others think too much, Aijia can't just sit idly by reason."

The empress dowager said, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at the queen, and said calmly: "The Ai family said so, does the queen understand?"
