Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 39

"That's why I have the right to touch the emperor's bad luck, and ask him to withdraw his life and give Du Shi another name." The queen looked at the shocked face of Madam Hu, and said helplessly, "Ouyang Ruixin back then, do you still remember? ?”

"How could this old slave forget it. Your Majesty, you have been raised by the Empress Dowager's side since you were a child. Master Ouyang often came to the palace with Princess Jing to greet the two queen mothers. Naturally, this old slave remembers her. Later, because she was going to marry Your majesty, it is not good for you to stay in the palace for too long, so you are leaving the palace and returning to your residence."

Grandma Hu couldn't help feeling a little sad when she thought of the appearance of Empress Dowager in those days. She was a woman with a flamboyant personality who dared to love and hate.It's a pity that she married the emperor of the world, not her husband alone.

"Yes, I have lived in this palace as long as I can remember. The queen mother has good plans, but the emperor, like all the men in the Mu family, always only cares about their status and does not buy into her. Uncle Regent She was also ruthless back then, pushing Ouyang Ruixin into this battle field for power." The queen sighed.

"He lost, and the Ouyang family who was allied with him were naturally exiled by the whole family. Ruixin, who was suffering and still pregnant with Liujia, watched her father being killed and her family being exiled, and her title of queen was abolished."

The queen paused, "I don't know whether the emperor is really ruthless or has feelings for her. Abandoning her as a wife has insulted her pride, and even gave her the title 'Zhaoxin'. Oh, Mrs. Zhaoxin, it's really ridiculous."

"The emperor later changed his reign name from Zhaokang to Xijia." Madam Hu continued, "Miss, you returned to the palace after three years of leaving the palace, but you no longer have the Holy Mother Empress Dowager to protect you."

"With my aunt around, I can't stop the queen mother. The Xiao family also made great efforts when Uncle King Jing fell from power. Not me, but other sisters in the family will also enter the palace. Of course, the emperor would like my cousin to follow him, which is better than him Then go make an effort to suppress the Xiao family."

"These old things are old, so don't mention them. Talking so much to the nanny is just to embarrass the current matter. The emperor messed around back then. In order to take care of his emotions, the queen mother might not say anything about him; and I hadn't Entering the palace, of course I can't be blamed. This time, the queen mother really knows the emperor's nonsense, I'm afraid I, like Du Shi, have no good fruit to eat."

The master and servant were speechless for a moment and fell silent.

After a while, the queen made a decision, everyone in the harem will use this trick, so why not use it once?

The queen said slowly, "Nurse, the people who will come to greet you will arrive later, there is no need to let them enter the palace. Just say that the palace is not feeling well today, so let them leave."

"Your Majesty? The old slave knows, so I'll explain it to you." Madam Hu was puzzled at first, and then she was about to get up and go to change people outside the hall, but was stopped by the queen, and turned around to wait for the queen's order.

I only heard the queen say, "Send someone to send a message to the emperor, just say that I am sick and want to see the emperor. I must let the emperor come to me first when he comes down from court. He must never go to the mother's place."

"This old servant understands, your empress's plan, if the emperor tells the empress dowager about Jin Du's being a 'Jia' lady when he pays his respects, your work will be in vain."

"That's the reason, the queen mother is getting old, it's not good to make her old man angry." The queen waved her hand, signaling Hu Nanny to do it quickly, so that she can go to the inner room to pretend to be sick.

When the queen was worried about Shi Niang's affairs, Shi Niang was waiting outside the Queen's bedroom in Guanju Palace with Ruomin and Xiao Xinzi.On the second day after the concubine went to bed, she had to see the queen and listen to the queen's teachings on women's virtues.Shi Niang didn't want to be caught and attacked by other concubines because she was late, but in fact, she would be baptized by the eyes of everyone in the harem if she arrived early.After all, she was the first person to eat crabs last night, and there are many people who are jealous of her.

As soon as Madam Hu came out of the inner hall, she saw the pale-faced Mrs. Du, waiting outside the hall with her aunt and eunuch, waiting to greet the queen.This is a polite and punctual person, Mother Hu said in her heart, I hope the master is not mistaken and helped the wrong person this time.

"Your maidservant has met Young Master Du, good luck to you, Young Master." Madam Hu greeted Mrs. Du.

Ten Niang hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Hi Mammy, the mistress is up, and Shi Niang is willing to serve her to wash and wash."

"It's not a coincidence that the young master came here. The empress is not feeling well. I specially asked the old slave to inform everyone so that the masters will not greet you today. The servant will inform the empress of the young master's wishes. You can also go back and rest."

Facing Madam Hu's knowing gaze, Shi Niang's pale face flushed a little, and she quickly covered it up, "Thank you, Madam, for your concern, Shi Niang is fine. But Empress, have you passed on the imperial physician? Where is the emperor?" Have you ever sent someone to inform you?"

Mother Hu looked at the sincere eyes in front of her eyes, she was speechless, my lord, how can I go to the imperial physician to find the emperor, please stop me.But she replied, "Your Majesty insisted not to pass on the imperial physician, for fear of disturbing the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. You see, at this time, the other young masters are coming soon, and the slaves have to inform the other young masters. Otherwise, please ask Come back, servants go in and look at the empress again."

When Shi Niang got the news she wanted, she didn't ask any more questions.There was no worry in this mother's eyes, only a hint of impatience, fearing that the empress had told her something and was in a hurry to do it.I didn't want to run into my earlier self, and got stuck.

"Then Shi Niang will leave first." Shi Niang knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the queen's bedroom.

No matter how impatient Hu Momo was, seeing the solid-minded behavior in front of her, she still stepped forward to help Ruo Min lift Shi Niang up, and said to Ruo Min, "Take care of your master."

Ten Niang smiled weakly at Nanny Hu, and was supported by Ruo Min to leave Guanju Palace.

Madam Hu exchanged for a little palace guard to guard the door of the bedroom, and told her in detail not to let people in to disturb the empress, and in exchange for a big palace maid, let her go outside the palace to stop the concubines.Take the path to see the emperor by yourself, and stop him before the emperor pays his respects to the empress dowager.

Hu Momo rushed to the Golden Luan Hall before the emperor went up and down.

Yang Zhong followed the emperor to court, while Xiao Luzi stood guard outside the palace.So when he saw Nanny Hu, he was startled, and immediately came forward to ask.He was bright in his heart, as the old lady next to the empress, Madam Hu had never behaved well, and she was waiting for this at this juncture, fearing that the empress had something important to send her to report.

The master and empress have always known how to measure, observe the palace rules, and understand the general situation. She never came to disturb the emperor when he was discussing politics, and she rarely set foot in the Hall of Mental Cultivation on weekdays.An exception this time must be an emergency.

Mother Hu was in distress, so she could only vaguely say to the father-in-law Shanglu's questioning eyes, "Master, the lady is not feeling well today, and she has not gotten up. She is afraid of disturbing the empress dowager and dare not call the imperial doctor. I just want to see the emperor. Father-in-law, don't worry, just wait for the emperor." It will not be too late to report to the next court."

"My lord's concern is justified. This is due to her filial piety and she doesn't want to disturb the queen mother. But if you don't call the imperial doctor, what's wrong with your mother's body? What are you going to do, mother? You are an old man in the palace, so you can be so confused " Xiaoluzi said anxiously.The empress can be regarded as a model of the six palaces. If the master knows that the empress is dying of illness, he has to get angry.

"What the father-in-law said is that I was confused. You also know that the empress is stubborn. How can we, as slaves, easily turn her around when she decides. I was also thinking, first tell the emperor about the situation of the empress. Long live God is the master." If the imperial physician is summoned, the empress will more or less refuse." Madam Hu responded quickly, expressing her concern about the master's illness to the fullest.

"In this way, I will go to announce the imperial doctor as soon as possible, and my mother will not delay. Here, when the master and son go to court, I will tell his mother about the situation first. I will go to Guanju Palace to see my mother first, so don't worry." In an emergency, Xiaoluzi made a decisive decision.

Only Mother Hu was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so she refused to agree, "I'd better wait with my father-in-law and wait for the emperor to go to court. Madam, there is a big palace maid from our palace who knows some medical skills to take care of me for the time being before I come out. When I get the emperor's According to the decree, it is not too late to go to the Tai Hospital."

Only then did Xiao Luzi realize that the old mother was worried about the emperor and wanted to personally watch the emperor go to Guanju Palace.I don't blame Mammy for being careless, because of some concubines and young masters, how negligent the master is to the empress.Xiao Luzi also nodded to signal Mammy to stand beside him, and the two of them were speechless for a while.

So when Emperor Rui came down to court, he saw Hu Momo beside the empress and his own eunuch Xiao Luzi looking at him anxiously at the same time.Shocked, he blurted out, "But what happened to the queen?"

There was obvious worry in that voice, even a little trembling.I remember that before his mother died of illness, when he was going down to court, a nun came to inform him that when he arrived, his mother had already gone.When his mother left, only his cousin was by his side, which was always an unforgettable pain in his heart.If something happened to his cousin, he didn't know who else would stay by his side.

Although Madam Hu was a little puzzled, she immediately replied, "Your Majesty is feeling unwell, and she hasn't gotten up today, so I don't want everyone in the harem to greet you, I want to see you..."

"What happened to my cousin? What did the imperial doctor say?" The emperor interrupted Madam Hu, not even caring about any information about the concubines.

"I haven't called the imperial physician yet, but the empress refused to let me, she said that she was afraid of disturbing the empress dowager." Madam Hu said in a trembling voice, the emperor was afraid that the emperor would burn the anger on her first.

"Stupid things, the empress won't let it go, the queen doesn't care about her own body, can you servants follow suit?" The emperor said angrily, "Nurse, how many years have you been with the queen? I don't know what kind of temper my master has. ? If it's not serious, she won't get up?"

"Your Majesty calm down, this old servant is confused." Hu Momo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"My lord, the most urgent thing is to ask you to summon the imperial physician, and Madam Hu insisted on waiting for you because of her impatience." Xiao Luzi saw that Nanny Hu's expression was stiff, and thought that there was something hidden in the middle of it, "The Empress asked Madam Hu to wait for you." Momo sent a message, saying that she wants to see you." Xiao Luzi finished what Momo Hu had interrupted.

"What are you still doing in a daze, come here, get ready, take a shortcut in the palace and go to Guanju Palace." The emperor said loudly, "Yang Zhong, you go to the Imperial Hospital in person to call the director, and make sure he goes to Guanju Palace to give to the queen." see a doctor."

"Mommy get up too, your master will have to take care of you." The emperor said when he saw Humammy who was still kneeling on the ground.After all, she is the queen's nurse, the closest person to the queen, and also the person she can't live without.Punishing her at this juncture will only worry the queen.

"Next time, if you don't take good care of the master, you know the consequences!"
