dress down
The medical officer told Concubine Dong that Madam Feng only had one breath left.
It is almost too late to save the situation, and we must seize this last bit of life to survive.
Ru Di's life depends on a single breath.
The Taiji Palace is located in a low-lying area, and the scenery is not pleasant.
The concubines, imperial concubines, princes and princesses in the palace who were seriously ill were all moved outside the palace for recuperation.
For this reason, I did not take Rudi back to the Queen, or to the fearful Taiji Palace... Instead, I drove my carriage all over the northern part of Chang'an.
Dust was flying and two horse whips were broken. After circling the streets of Chang'an, Mr. Dong and I finally found a good place to stay.
Yinyue Palace...
Yinyue Palace is a Taoist temple in Banzhengfang, given by a saint.
Yinyue, Li Yinyue, daughter of King Changle.
Yinyue Palace is the Taoist temple of the Princess of Yiyang County.
To the north of Chang'an is the precious land of Yinyue, where the terrain is elevated and the feng shui is good for people.
"The county lady likes quietness and doesn't want to be disturbed. I'm afraid that the county lady can't accommodate you..." Mr. Dong said while trying to stop me.
I turned a deaf ear to it and knocked on the door of Yinyue Palace with Rudi on my back.
I use both kindness and force, and I am shameless.
The county lady showed up, and although she was not interested, she finally took Ru Di in.
For fear of missing the palace gate, Concubine Dong carefully selected and left behind smart eunuchs and palace maids. They were taciturn and could take good care of Rudi without disturbing the county lord.
Yi Yang refused to tolerate them and sent them away.
The Feng family is treacherous, and Mr. Dong and I are still worried.
The county lady told me that she was the daughter of the Li family, the daughter of the royal family, and the mistress of a temple. She was definitely not one of the Feng family who broke their promises. She would do what she said and would take good care of the lady of the Feng family. If you didn't believe me, you could carry her away immediately.
I kowtowed and knelt to express my gratitude, and the palace maids could not stop me.
The princess, please accept the gift with peace of mind, and I will kowtow with peace of mind.
I am deeply grateful.
Mr. Dong dared not to bow and thanked again and again.
After returning to Taiji Palace and Xianju Hall, I cried bitterly in the arms of Concubine Shu.
Princess Huayang was furious and lost all her restraints. She cursed in front of Zhu Gong, the eunuch of the Eastern Palace.
If the emperor's uncle's surname was not Feng, the princess would have wanted to draw her sword and chop off the heads of his entire family in a few strokes.
I was also extremely angry, with nowhere to vent my anger, so I tore the handkerchief in Mr. Zhu's hand into pieces.
I spent most of the day embroidering that square handkerchief with two cranes on it. How it ended up in the hands of Concubine Zhu, I have no idea and no time to care.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was bright and the prince's birthday had passed. I kept a few needles and thought of waiting until the Flower Festival next year to give them to him personally and use them to show my goodwill to the crown prince.
Madam Feng is seriously injured, and since Ru Di is not entering the palace, why should I go to such lengths to please Her Majesty the East Palace?
To create trouble for no reason is to bring trouble upon oneself and bring humiliation upon oneself.
If the princess has any fault in her words or deeds, she will ask the eunuch to be diligent, have sharp ears and eyes, and be the best at filing a complaint.
I entered the East Palace for training again.
I remember that time when the Crown Prince was not busy with government affairs, he took a break from his busy schedule to scold loudly.
Your Highness lectured me on being conservative and not understanding human nature.
"Why didn't you choose the Eastern Palace that day in my mother's palace?"
The prince's ears were blood red, and there seemed to be red carps rolling and jumping in his eyes.
If the Eastern Palace is chosen, how can the Yan family survive in front of the Saint?
I can't drag the Yan family into their own destruction.
"Your Highness does not fear the emperor and his father, but I do. My brother is the Yuanzi, and I am not the concubine Li." I knelt down to learn.
Perhaps out of concern for the Yan family, the East Palace ordered me to get up.
The Crown Prince said, "I am the regent, and it's not an empty title. I can even issue decrees on major military and national affairs. You don't need to be too cautious in your actions."
No need to be careful?
If I'm not careful, my whole family might lose their lives.
The Crown Prince cares about his position as Crown Prince, while the Eastern Palace covets the position of Saint.
Donggong Lin is not big, and Prince Yu is not well-mannered, yet they talk big like this.
He is so sure of what he says that I cannot agree with him.
The Crown Prince holds a grudge against the Yan family for not supporting the Eastern Palace, and I also hold a grudge against the Eastern Palace for its treason.
After the prince finished speaking, I nodded in agreement, my body and mind numb.
His Highness also said that I was wasting my energy, not knowing the difference between the ruler and the subject, not distinguishing between the primary and the secondary, and not knowing the order of priority.
Tell me to focus on Taiji Palace and Shaoyang Courtyard, and think less about Chang'an City.
Taiji Palace, Chang'an City, Chang'an City, Taiji Palace.
I abused the Li family's military guards to do things for the Yan family. The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was warning me and warning the Yan family. I nodded in agreement with a guilty conscience.
In the end, they said that I cooked the crane and burned the piano, burning the piano and cooking the crane, which was a waste of natural resources.
"I didn't burn the zither, I didn't burn the crane..." I lowered my head and answered randomly.
In an instant, I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give a short laugh, and then let out a long sigh of resentment. I guess he was very angry.
He told me to read more and not to listen to the words of sages, let alone the queen.
If you don’t listen to the Saint Queen, will you listen to the Crown Prince?
I turned a deaf ear and didn't respond at all.
After coming out of the East Palace, we went to Lizheng Hall.
"Rudi's suffering is my fault..." the queen blamed herself.
Today's Empress Dowager is a hundred times busier than the former Princess Qing. As the mistress of the harem and the mother of a country, she is naturally powerless to do anything. How can she take care of everything?
How could Rudi wrongly blame the Queen Aunt?
When the biological father and stepmother treat their daughter harshly, it only brings bad reputation, but if you look closely, they take advantage of her in everything.
The Feng family only cares about high positions and generous salaries, and is not interested in fame and reputation.
Ru Di is the wife and daughter of the Feng family. Her biological father and stepmother treated her harshly. This was an internal matter of the Feng family, and the empress never punished the Feng family.
"Rudi shouldn't have been born in Chang'an, and certainly not in the Feng family. She's too weak, never fighting for anything, so weak she allows herself to be bullied. She's a pushover, easily influenced by others. If she keeps pointing fingers at her friends and family, even if her parents are saintly queens, they'll still be treated with disgrace. Even if this child survives this time, I'm afraid she'll have endless suffering in the future..."
If you don't fight for everything, you will be exiled thousands of miles away. Fighting too much is like drinking a cup of poison.
For a daughter of Chang'an, it is wrong to fight, and it is also wrong not to fight.
Girls are always wrong!
Rudi's temperament is too weak. It is innate to her and she cannot change it.
The Queen is right, and there is nothing wrong with Ru Di’s character.
No one is wrong. It is the Feng family who is wrong and it is the Feng family who is evil.
All the evils of the Feng family are due to the king’s uncle.
It was he who ordered it, it was he who condoned it, it was he who allowed it to happen, and it was he who masterminded it.
The Queen complained about Rudi, and it would be a lie to say she didn't feel sorry for her. Although she didn't shed tears, her face was full of endless sorrow.
I heard my mother say, "If there is a good opportunity for the Feng family, not a single one will be spared, including the family tree!"
No one will be left alive, and I think this definitely does not include Ru Di.
I could only leave the palace once every one or two months. Every time I left, Ah Xiang and I would go straight to Yinyue Palace. Ru Di stayed there, but her illness showed no improvement.
Fortunately, her eyes, which looked like those of a dead soul, gradually recovered.
Winter goes and spring comes.
In the late spring of the year when I was twelve years old, the king's uncle recovered from his illness. Once he was well, people still loved him and he was active in the court again.
In the name of apologizing to the queen, the king's uncle sent his daughter Feng to the Lizheng Palace as a maid.
Madam Feng was nominally a palace maid serving the Queen, but in reality she wanted to show herself up and become the Emperor's concubine to win the Queen's favor.
Three months later, in early autumn, the Xue family followed suit and sent their daughter to Taiji Palace, hoping to secure the Xue family's favor forever.
Zhuzhi said that the imperial concubine did not like Madam Xue, nor did she want her aunt and niece to share the same husband.
The imperial concubine was called the imperial concubine, but after entering the palace, she had lost the favor she had enjoyed in Prince Qing's residence for more than ten years.
Without the favor of the royal family, how could the Xue family maintain its prosperity and wealth forever? The imperial concubine had to accept it no matter how unwilling she was.
Madam Feng was not favored by Empress Feng, and Madam Xue was not liked by Concubine Xue.
Even the saints never looked at it much.
The Feng and Xue families were not one step behind in chess, nor were they an accidental success.
The sage did not take them into the harem, and the prince took them all to the Eastern Palace.
Madam Feng and Madam Xue, these two ladies, within a few years, became the favorite concubines of the new emperor.
He was unknown in this dynasty, but became the most favored in the new dynasty.
That was a different time, and these are all stories for later. I didn't try to gain advantages from others, nor did I try to find out, so naturally I don't know much.
