Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 378

"Hey, people keep coming into the harem, the slaves are very flustered, the empress should have another heir." Nan Zhi sighed.

Now that she has become Zhaoyi, she is also called Empress.

"I didn't avoid it on purpose. What can I do if I'm not pregnant? Just let nature take its course." Ye Yun smiled.

Furthermore, the fourth prince is still young, so she doesn't want to be distracted by having another one.

The most important thing right now is to raise the first one safely.

Ning Chen is still so young, it is not certain that there will be many children, if there are too many princes, they will fight.

"Okay, if there is, it will be there." Ye Yun stroked his sleeves and stood up, "Go and call the fourth prince back. After playing crazy for a long time, call back to drink saliva. It's time for lunch."

Not long after, the fourth prince ran back with Nian Gao one after the other.

The grand concubine's filial piety still didn't tell them to run away, so they played around nearby.

Bai Shu served the fourth prince to drink water, and asked someone to pour some rice cakes.

Both puppies drink.

After drinking the water, the fourth prince couldn't wait to grab his mother's hand.

"Mom, I want to study!"

Ye Yun was puzzled. He also made a picture book of literacy and taught it on weekdays. Why did he suddenly talk about this today.

Bai Shu hurriedly explained, "Just now when the fourth prince went out to play and the third prince was leaving school, the two masters said a few words, and the fourth prince remembered it."

This said Ye Yun understood.

Stretched out his hand and rubbed his son's head, he laughed, "Even if you are three years old this May, you should seriously seek enlightenment from your husband, but you are pitiful and have no one to accompany you."

The first three princes got together to attend class, and the fourth prince was a bit younger, so they would be left alone.

The fourth prince didn't understand these things, and ran away when he saw the cakes on the table, leaving Ye Yun, a mother, to figure out which master he should find for him.

This matter has to be discussed with Ning Chen.

In fact, Ning Chen was more concerned about the child's academic problems than she was, and had been looking for candidates early in the morning.

This candidate should be at the same level as the gentlemen who taught the first three princes, otherwise the difference would be too big at such a young age, and it would arouse the suspicion of the courtiers.

But before this matter was settled, the palace ushered in the fifth prince.

Qin Wanrong gave birth to the fifth prince safely on the twelfth of March, both mother and child were safe.

Because of her meritorious service in childbearing, the Qin family was promoted to beauties.

Those below the rank of concubine are not qualified to raise an imperial heir, and for a while, the whereabouts of the fifth prince caused disturbances in the harem.

Obviously Ning Chen didn't think about this question well, so for the time being, Qin Meiren will take care of it first. Both mother and child are in Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Jingde will also take care of her a little bit.

Jiuchen Palace.

Ye Yun was called to wait on the pen and ink, and now they have been reviewing the memorial for more than an hour, and the two are sitting down to drink tea and rest.

Suddenly, Yuan Jiu hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Wan Xiuyuan reported that the Eldest Prince suddenly fell ill."

"Why are you so sick?" Ning Chen couldn't help frowning.

The fifth prince was not half a month old, and the eldest son fell ill before he was overjoyed.

Yuan Jiu replied, "It is said that two days ago I caught a cold and had a slight cough, but this morning I got a fever, and I took medicine and waited for me to lie down to rest, just now Wan Xiuyuan went to ask the eldest prince to get up to drink porridge, but found Can't wake up."

"Don't let the child faint from the fever, the emperor hasten to take a look." Ye Yun said.

She probably knows better than anyone else the seriousness of having a fever for too long.

Now there is no measuring instrument, and I don’t know how high the child’s fever is. This high fever can kill people if it persists. Meningitis is very dangerous in this era of underdeveloped medicine.

Maybe it's because of being a mother, she also can't hear the child's illness.

Ning Chen nodded, and immediately asked Huai'an to invite the court judge Zhang from the Grand Hospital, and brought Ye Yun to Qixiang Palace.

When Wan Xiuyuan came, she was using a cold towel to cool down the eldest prince, with an anxious expression on her face.

Just as he was about to salute, he was stopped.

Ning Chen went to the bed and touched the child's forehead, it was very hot.

"When did it burn?"

"In the morning, when the first prince had breakfast, he felt a little lethargic. The concubine felt his forehead was a little hot, so he called the imperial doctor to see it. He only said it was a slight fever, and he would be fine after taking the medicine and sleeping. , who would have thought it would be like this before noon."

Wan Xiuyuan cried while speaking, looking at the child on the couch with worried eyes.

Not long after, Zhang Yuanjuan arrived, and Shen Pingzhi followed him, carrying the medicine box along the way.

Now Ye Yun is favored, and Shen Pingzhi has her trust. Even though he is good at medicine, he was sentenced by Zhang Yuan to take him by his side as an apprentice. When he can follow, he always follows.

Zhang Yuan judged the eldest prince's pulse, and reported that it was indeed caused by wind and cold entering the body.

"The Eldest Prince is already weak. Although it is spring in March, it is still cold. Yesterday, it rained lightly again. The Eldest Prince may have caught the cold because of getting up early and studying. There is nothing wrong with the prescription in the morning. It is just that the Eldest Prince Weak, need to add two more medicines, wait for the old minister to relieve the first prince's high fever, and then carefully draw up a prescription for recuperation."

According to the ancestral system, when the prince reaches the age of six, he must go to the study to study seriously.

At the end of last year, the Eldest Prince turned six years old, so he officially started studying after the turn of the year, and got up early every day, only half an hour later than Ning Chen's time to go to court.

In the morning, I have to turn on the lamp when I go to the study room, so it is naturally cold.

"Since that's the case, let's stop studying for now, and go to study after the eldest prince recovers from his illness." Ning Chen said in a low voice.

Finally, I sat down, ready to wait for the child's fever to subside before leaving.

He didn't tell Ye Yun to leave, so naturally he stayed together.

After just sitting for a while, Ye Yun felt that there was always a chill from time to time.

Looking up, I saw that the inner window was half open, and the wind was blowing in.

"Nan Zhi, go and close the window tightly. The eldest prince is caught in the wind and cold, but he can't bear the cold for sure. I wear thick clothes, and I feel the wind."

After receiving the order, Nan Zhi went immediately.

Wan Xiuyuan's complexion changed, and she hurriedly got up and said in panic.

"It's all due to my concubine's carelessness. When I first came here, the charcoal fire was burning in the room, and the smell of coal was mixed with the smell of medicine. It was very unpleasant, so I asked someone to turn it on for ventilation, and I never thought of forgetting to turn it off."

Ning Chen waved his hand, signaling her to sit down.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. The smell of coal is harmful to the human body if it doesn't dissipate. It's just that the servants who serve the First Prince must be more careful in the future. Fortunately, Ming Zhaoyi saw it today, otherwise the First Prince will suffer from the cold again. "

"Yes, the concubine must redouble his efforts to discipline the servants." Wan Xiuyuan blessed himself.

Doctor Zhang's medicine was ready, and the eldest prince drank it, and the high fever subsided as expected.

Watching the child wake up, drink half a bowl of sweet porridge and lie down again, the two left Kaixiang Palace.

After they left, Wan Xiuyuan gave a good lesson to the maids who took care of the eldest prince.

Tell them to be more cautious, and there should be no mistakes like today.

Ning Chen still had to read the brochures in the afternoon, and felt sorry for Ye Yun who had been studying ink all morning, and sat with Wan Xiuyuan for a long time, so he told her to go back and rest.

But just after returning to Zhaochunxuan, Nan Zhi told about a strange thing she just discovered in Qixiang Palace.
