It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 123

After half a month, Master Tang was in the house to raise her baby with peace of mind. The imperial doctor came twice and said that her pulse is very stable, and now she doesn’t need to stay in bed all the time, as long as she doesn’t get too violent, she can walk on the ground.

Master Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to walk around. But the maids still didn’t let her move too much, and basically couldn’t walk a few steps, so she was stopped by the maids and helped her sit on the floor.

Master Tang did not leave the house behind closed doors, and Zhou Shunhua was recuperating on the other side. It’s just that the status of the two is completely different.

On the day of Zhou Shunhua’s miscarriage, Master Tang did not go there, but gave a gift to show his heart. Naturally, I couldn’t inquire about the things sent out, but Master Tang knew that the medicinal materials she took had not been removed, so they threw them all away.

It can be seen that both Zhou Shunhua and Zhao Zixun hate them very much. Master Tang pretended not to know, he still eats and drinks well, and raises his fetus comfortably. The cuckoo and the magpie also came back. They were startled that day and knocked out a lot of black and green on the ground. They were originally going to come back to take care of them the next day. Master Tang sent the people back and asked them to raise them for another five days before they came out to work.

The time has entered February. Spring in Jinling is earlier than in the northwest. After a few drizzle, the weather becomes warmer every day. It rained last night, and the sun was very good today. Teacher Tang leaned on the collapsed south window and listened to the maids talking about the movements of the house.

“Princess, the Tang family has sent someone. The butler gave the newly-listed brocade to the palace and greeted you and the king of the county. Princess, do you want to see them?”

Master Tang sighed, there really are no secrets in the capital. The Tang family didn’t know where the news came from. This was just round the corners to inquire about her situation. Master Tang said: “Tell them that everything is fine with Gao’er and I. Let them be cautious and make money with harmony, and don’t fight against others. I have been busy taking care of my concubine recently, and if I can’t make a move, I won’t see them.”

Du Juan promised to let the little girl go outside to pass a message to the Tang family. Master Tang is not thinking about dealing with the people of the Tang family now. She is still resting and can’t work hard. It’s better to wait another month, after the fetal phase is completely stabilized, then send a letter to the Tang family and mother.

So Tang Shishi easily squeezed Zhou Shunhua as an excuse and sent the Tang family away. But with this mention, Master Tang also thought of Zhou Shunhua. Master Tang asked: “How is Concubine Zhou’s side these days?”

Du Juan curled his lips, lowered his voice, and whispered: “Who knows. She too took Joe too much. The last time I went to deliver things for the princess, she didn’t even show her face. However, I heard the little maid who was waiting in the courtyard said, Zhou Concubine side has lost a lot of weight these days, and her face has become thinner.”

Isn’t it in a bad mood that the hopeful child has fallen? Master Tang sighed, and asked, “The childbirth hurts her body. Concubine Zhou has to make up for it. Did she use the bird’s nest ginseng I sent?”

Cuckoo looked disdainful and shook his head slowly. Master Tang was not surprised by this answer. She still looked like a mother and said, “Concubine Zhou’s appetite may not be good. But with the subsidy from the elder son, I think you won’t be short of Concubine Zhou’s things. Du Juan, you go to the warehouse. No matter what Concubine Zhou wants recently, you don’t have to tell me, just take it directly.”

Du Juan was not angry, Zhou Shunhua colluded with outsiders to frame Tang Shishi, why did they still treat Zhou Shunhua nicely? Master Tang insisted and lifted his chin to Du Juan: “Hurry up.”

Cuckoo went reluctantly. After she left, the magpie sighed: “The princess is really a kind person. Regardless of the predecessors, she has a kind heart. No wonder the princess likes the princess.”

Master Tang smiled and watched Zhao Zigao crawling beside him, touching his lower abdomen with his right hand, and said softly, “Give up virtue to the children.”

Zhou Shunhua’s collusion with Neiying is not conclusive. First, when Zhao Chengjun punished Zhou Shunhua, he knocked out Zhou Shunhua’s child by mistake. In this way, Zhao Chengjun could not convict Zhou Shunhua; second, he was scrupulous about the Queen Mother Yao.

Everyone can guess that it was the Queen Mother Yao’s hand that day, but the Queen Mother Yao didn’t admit it. Who dares to say? Everyone cared about the Queen Mother Yao behind, and could only endure silently. But there was no punishment on the surface, and in private everyone had an extremely bad impression of Zhou Shunhua. Especially the old people who had served the Jing Palace for a long time, it was not pleasing to see Zhou Shunhua anywhere.

The fox confuses the Lord, eating inside and out, he deserves to die! Because of this incident, everyone even criticized Zhao Zixun. On the day he hit the board, Zhao Zixun did not hesitate to attack him to save Zhou Shunhua, and then he sneered at Zhao Chengjun. The staff of the outer court heard that the heart was really subtle.

This is simply the heavens helping Master Tang, once she was an outsider, and Zhao Zixun was her own. Especially in the eyes of the ministers and aides, the elder son is their loyal young master, and Tang Shishi is a misleading beauty, specially sent by the court to separate the prince and the son. In the past, Master Tang used the reputation of being a confidant, no matter what he did was wrong, but now only a year later, the situation has completely reversed.

Shishi Tang is the “gentle and sincere” princess and the biological mother of Xiaojun Wang. And the son, because of a woman, dare to antagonize the prince. Liu Ji’s attitude was very clear from the beginning. His thoughts were all on Zhao Zigao, and he only maintained face for Zhao Zixun. Now, more and more people are looking at Zhao Zigao. After all, this is his own.

They didn’t need to do anything from Master Tang, they were centrifugal themselves.

Teacher Tang is very energetic at happy events. When she is happy, she wants to find others unhappy. Master Tang took the position of a loving mother and said to the maids: “I don’t know what happened recently. There have been frequent incidents in the house, and the eldest son has lost two children. As a princess, I failed to manage the palace. Instead, my descendants died frequently. This is really my fault.”

The maids persuaded: “Wang Hao, don’t blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you, maybe, the fate of the son’s heir has not arrived yet.”

Master Tang sighed: “The elder son is not young anymore. He is not too late to get married. I don’t know why he always has no children. To me, I don’t have to pay attention to my concubines at all now, as long as they can give birth to both men and women. It’s a pity, the two of the sons. None of the children have a relationship with the palace.””

The nanny was a person from outside, unlike the maid who was used to serving in the high gate compound. She blurted out: “The son has no son, but the prince is strong in his prime, and since the son doesn’t follow his heart in the courtyard, the princess If you have a few more births with the prince, it will be enough.”

The maids and women all silenced, Tang Shishi looked down at Zhao Zigao, noncommittal. The nurse slowly realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, and she suddenly oozes a cold sweat.

Master Tang wiped Zhao Zigao’s mouth, and said softly, “No matter, the concubine is not here. I have to worry about these things a little bit. Concubine Zhou has just lost her child and is in grief, plus the miscarriage hurts her body. Raise for a period of time. In a while, pick two beautiful girls with good temperaments and send them to serve the eldest son.”

Nowadays, the affairs of the royal palace are nothing but a word from Master Tang. Besides, the aunt’s mother gave her son the righteousness, the mother-in-law took the order, and blessed her body said: “Yes. The princess thinks really well.”

Master Tang sighed: “Now that the backyard of the world’s son is smoggy, I don’t care, who else cares? Magpie, you go and call the imperial physician to check the pulse of Zhou Meiren, and then he will be able to prescribe some prescriptions for restoring the body. Zhou side concubine If you don’t believe the tonic I sent, the doctor prescribes it, she should believe it, right?”

The grandmother was so touched: “Wang Hao, you are too kind. The mother-in-law in our neighborhood, who can’t wait to treat her daughter-in-law as a horse or a horse, it’s okay for you, if your daughter-in-law collided with you, you still try your best to find a great doctor for her. Which girl can do her best? Being a daughter-in-law under your hand is really an accumulation of virtue for three lifetimes.”

Master Tang pursed her lips and smiled, while being modest, she listened to others to praise her more with satisfaction. Master Tang was very happy in acting, and he signaled to Magpie: “Take my brand name, and go to the Taiyuan Hospital to ask the doctor. Xu Taiyi specializes in gynecology. If the doctor Xu does not go out for consultation, try to ask the doctor Xu to come over.”

“Yes.”

After Tang Shishi finished his account, he didn’t care about the rest. The scenes that belonged to her have already been performed. As for whether the imperial physician can be invited, and what to say after the invitation, it has nothing to do with Master Tang.

Teacher Tang leaned on the soft pillow, lazily basking in the sun, watching Yuxue’s lovely son crawling around beside him. There were maids around her who were eager to give her food and drink, for fear of tiring her. The afternoon was comfortable, and it tasted quite good for some years. Master Tang hadn’t been exposed to the sun for a while, and he was sleepy.

She propped her forehead and yawned lazily. She was thinking about whether to go to sleep, when someone opened the door outside, Master Tang turned her head and saw that the magpie was back.

Master Tang was surprised and asked, “Why did you come back so soon? How about a doctor?”

Although Magpie is a maid, there is a small servant to pick you up when you go out. If the car is inconvenient, there will be a small sedan. She went to see an imperial doctor, and it took at least a lot of time to come and go.

The magpie blessed his body and replied: “The hospital is too busy, so I won’t go out for consultation today.”

Not going out? Master Tang felt wrong instinctively, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The magpie looked around and whispered: “I heard that the emperor went to Houhu to play today, and he accidentally fell into the lake. After saving it, the emperor had a fever. Now, the emperor is in the Qing Palace, guarding the emperor.”

It turned out that the emperor fell into the water. Master Tang was quite speechless. The emperor was ridiculously playful and whimsical. The Lantern Festival in the Yuan Dynasty seemed to play the emperor in the wild, and he could not move out. Pour it today, go out boating, and drop yourself into the water.

Since the emperor has a fever, they can’t **** someone from the emperor. Master Tang said, “Since the emperor is sick, I shouldn’t wait to go to the hospital to cause trouble. Oriole, if you take out my string of Buddha beads, I can’t enter the palace. , Just pray for the emperor in the palace.”

“Yes.”

This afternoon, Master Tang spent his time in the Buddha beads. Master Tang knew that the movement in the palace would not be spread outside, but under the melon field, the little emperor was ill, she had better pretend to be.

Master Tang pretended to be alive. For ordinary people, fever is not a trivial matter, and any carelessness will lead to death. But the emperor was not among the ordinary people. The best medical resources in the country gathered around him. He fell into the water and healed within a few days of coming.

The Queen Mother Yao, the hospital, and many courtiers all thought so. But no one thought that the emperor’s illness would not get better for a long time, but it would take a turn for the worse.

The Queen Mother angrily threw the Buddhist beads to the ground, the string broke, and the beads dipped in sandalwood bounced back and forth on the gold bricks.

The people waiting inside and outside all bowed their heads, and the needles dropped in the huge Qianqing Palace could be heard. The empress dowager Yao threw the Buddhist beads and was still not relieved. She stood up and angrily pointed at the doctors and cursed: “Quack doctors, you group of quack doctors! Qian’er just fell into the water and was rescued not long afterwards. How could it be possible for her to be rescued after falling into the water? Body, lack of skills? He is only fourteen and young, how could he not last for half a month?”

The imperial physicians leaned deeply and bowed: “Weichen is incompetent.”

The Queen Mother walked up and down the ground like a demon, and kept muttering: “The Ai family knows, you must have poisoned him and wanted to kill Ai’s grandson. Say, isn’t it? Zhao Chengjun instructed you to do this? How much benefit did he give you?”

The doctor lowered his eyes and no one spoke. Yang Shoufu stood on one side with his sleeves hanging down, watching his nose and his heart, as if he had not heard the dangerous remarks of the Queen Mother. Seeing that the Queen Mother was calm, he stepped forward and said, “Queen dowager, the old minister naturally hopes that her majesty will be healthy and recover as before. However, the current situation of the emperor does not look very good. In order to avoid chaos, the empress dowager still Let’s prepare for the funeral.”
