Chapter 48: Being as sick as Xizi wins three points
Princess Guangling and her son came to Tong'an Palace of Concubine Rong. They met two little palace maids and greeted them respectfully.
Princess Guangling recognized that these were the daughters of the Jin and Qin families. When she came to greet her mother and concubine a few years ago, she knew that they were transferred here as maids copying scriptures.
In the past, during New Years and holidays, the two girls would be led by their family elders to pay their respects to the Duke's Mansion.
She was originally a young lady from a wealthy family, but her current experience is unbearable to mention.
Concubine Rong is over seventy years old, but because she has been fasting and worshiping Buddha all year round, she does not have the slightest attitude of being a dragon.
His eyes are clear and lively, and his face is dignified and kind.
Yu Guming stopped the salute and said, "I've been talking about you mother and son these past two days! In the past, you would come to me in three days at most to pay my respects. If you haven't come these past few days, it must be your uncle, the emperor, who asked for leave for you." Yu Guming smiled and nodded. Grandma is an extremely transparent old man.
He has never seen anyone she was angry with or blamed.
"How is your concubine coming in?" Princess Guangling stepped forward and asked, "There are many social events in the first month, so I will inevitably delay entering the palace to see you."
"Aren't you going to socialize? You must be polite to outsiders." Concubine Rong told them mother and son to sit down quickly. "What are we, mother and son, afraid of if we go earlier or later?"
He called Ning Cui over again: "Send someone to the small kitchen to quickly prepare the new snacks I promised.
If I like Poria cake tomorrow, I’ll have that one too.”
Aunt Ningcui responded with a smile: "I have sent them here a long time ago. I knew this was going to happen."
Aunt Ningcui is about the same age as Princess Guangling. Before the princess got married, Ningcui accompanied her almost all the time.
Over the years, she has served Concubine Rong the most devotedly and for the longest time.
"Yesterday, the Emperor came here to talk to me for a while, and had lunch before leaving." Concubine Rong said, "After finishing the work on the anniversary of the death of the Queen Mother, it is a big event."
The Queen Mother only gave birth to the Emperor's one child, and due to heavy blood loss during childbirth, her health has not recovered since then.
Therefore, he asked his biological sister to enter the palace, so that someone could share his worries and raise the child.
Concubine Rong is the emperor's biological aunt, and she also has a nurturing grace for him. Although she is not the queen mother in name, her status is extremely noble.
"Speaking of which, the Queen Mother's three-year mourning period has also expired. The sixth prince's marriage to a concubine, and the fourth prince's and fifth prince's adoption of concubines should be discussed openly." Princess Guangling followed Princess Rong's words.
Go on.
"What's so urgent about having a concubine? His mother, Concubine Xian, has to worry about Lao Liu's marriage," Concubine Rong looked at Yu Guming and said with a smile, "On the other hand, we are already nineteen years old tomorrow, so
It’s time to marry a beautiful and dignified little wife.”
Yu Guming blushed.
Concubine Rong laughed even more when she saw it, and said: "What is there for a man to be ashamed of? It is the first time for a man to get married, and for a woman to get married, this is the most important thing in life."
"My mother-in-law also knows this child's naturally weird temperament. I have been paying close attention to it in the past two years. Whenever I have something decent to say, I tell him, but he doesn't like anything." Princess Guangling couldn't help but feel a little worried when she said this.
.
"There's nothing to worry about. We all have our own destiny. If we haven't met the one we're destined for yet, it's natural that we won't fall in love with her." Concubine Rong has always been understanding.
At this time, the palace maid came in with some snacks, and Concubine Rong let them and their son have a taste.
After a while, seeing Yu Guming sitting there in a daze, the concubine said: "Children don't like to listen to elders talking about household matters. You go and play with your sixth brother and them! Get up early.
Your fourth brother and fifth brother have also entered the palace.
A large group of people came to kowtow to me. I thought it was noisy, so I sent them all away.
I heard that the Horsemaster has brought some good horses, and they are probably all there. You can go too! Don’t you also like riding horses?
Just don’t overdo it, and remember to come here for lunch.”
Princess Guangling also said: "If grandma tells you to go, you can go! Just when you are with a few princes, you must not ignore the dignity and mess up the rules."
Yu Guming stood up and agreed, then slowly turned around and went out.
It's just that when he came out of Tong'an Palace, he didn't go to the Royal Horse Prison, but went directly to the Eighth Bureau.
When we were approaching the Acupuncture Palace Bureau, we met Chi Su and another palace maid, each holding a bag of embroidery bundles and heading south.
Chi Su knew at one glance that he had something to say to her.
Yu Guming is not good at words, so her eyes are particularly spiritual.
Chi Su also handed the baggage in his hand to the palace maid and said, "Send mine along with me. I will thank you later."
When the palace maid walked away, Chi Su smiled and asked Yu Guming: "Master, what do you want from me?"
"I..." Yu Guming just said the word "I", and Chi Su took over the words.
"Do you want to see me?"
Yu Guming nodded.
"She has been sick for the past two days and has not come to work. She is resting in her residence." Chi Su said, "If you want to find her, go west from the front aisle, enter the second door on the north, and walk along the east wall.
North, it’s the second room in the third row of houses.”
"Thank you." Yu Guming hugged his fists toward Chi Su and strode away.
Xue Hengzhao gets sick every spring, and her limbs and lower abdomen are as cold as ice.
Although this disease is not fatal and will be cured without medicine in about ten days, it is still very unbearable.
Xue Hengzhao took the medicine prepared by her master and took one pill every three days, which can relieve a lot of pain.
She originally wanted to work hard, but Chi Su disagreed.
"Anyway, I'm so busy now that I won't leave you alone. I'll go ask for leave for you and you can rest."
Xue Hengzhao thought about it and decided that it was enough to get through the saddest two days, so he let her go.
Yu Guming knocked on the door gently, Xue Hengzhao answered inside, and it took him a long time to get down and open the door.
When Yu Guming saw that her face was as white as paper and that her whole person was haggard and weak, she couldn't help but feel worried, and hurriedly said: "I, I will take you to... Tai Hospital."
"No, I've already taken the medicine. I'll be fine in a few days." Xue Hengzhao said, "Young Master, do you have anything to do with me?"
Even though she said this, Yu Guming was still worried.
Xue Hengzhao was already extremely weak, and his illness made him even more weak and powerless.
But Yu Guming also knows that Xue Hengzhao doesn't like others to advocate for her, and the last time he made a mistake, he already made her angry.
Now that she is sick, she cannot be angry.
So he took out the prepackaged sycamore seeds from his sleeve and handed them to Xue Hengzhao.
"Here," he handed the bag over, "here you go."
"What is this?" Xue Hengzhao didn't understand, so he opened it and saw that it was a bag of sycamore seeds.
"It was picked from... from the... sycamore tree in your family." Yu Guming tried his best to keep his tone calm.
"What did you do with it?" Xue Hengzhao asked, "Wasn't it sealed long ago?"
