Chapter 476: Sadness
The suppression of bandits in the southwest was going smoothly, but it was difficult to find people in the mountains. It was quite laborious and costly.
So it is destined not to be a one-time achievement.
The emperor said three years, and General Li Pei also issued a military order. There must be a result in three years, otherwise he would be dealt with according to military law.
The emperor encouraged him again in his imperial edict and expressed his high approval.
Even during several morning court sessions, Li Pei was mentioned and praised highly.
For a moment, this marquis had an aura that was unmatched by anyone in the court.
Compared with asking the Shen family to go to Northern Xinjiang before, this is even worse.
Unfortunately, Ying Xiurong died early and was unable to enjoy this honor.
The feelings in the harem were not as profound as those in the previous dynasty, so everyone was relatively calm.
As the weather got warmer, the princes began to run around more frequently and could no longer be kept in Ruiqing Palace.
The main reason was that the fourth and sixth princes were rather naughty, and both of them were princes of high status. Once they started to make trouble, the others were not wooden men, and they were just little boys, so who could contain them? That’s why everyone started to make trouble.
They also had their own study companions, and they were about to leave the palace to hunt in a noisy manner.
Of course, hunting was not allowed. Qi Yixiu waved his hand and sent them to the palace outside the capital to play.
And you can play for three days.
The princes were delighted.
The fourth princess cried and made a fuss about wanting to go, but Qi Yixiu did not stop her. He just waved his hand and let her go.
The queen also sent the second princess, and so all the brothers and sisters went together, except for the tenth prince who could not run well and the eleventh prince who could not run by himself.
Fortunately, there were a few children from the royal family, and they all went together in great joy.
There were more than thirty children in the group, it was really lively.
Shen Chuliu only sent someone to follow, and the emperor had already made arrangements for the guards.
Among the princes, the Second Prince considered himself the eldest and had an obligation to take care of his brothers.
So he took the lead.
Shen Chuliu had already instructed the Sixth Prince not to argue with the Second Prince easily, to listen to what he could, and to tell Yuanxiao and Yulou if he felt wronged.
Yes, Shen Chuliu directly sent his chief eunuch Yuanxiao to follow the prince.
But to be honest, although the Second Prince took care of his younger brothers, he really didn't dare to provoke the Sixth Prince.
After all, because of what happened that year, he was also afraid in his heart.
The second princess, as the only legitimate princess, arranged the living quarters for her brothers and sisters in no time.
In this regard, the eldest princess is far behind.
However, the eldest princess is not a picky person. On the contrary, if she is really asked to make the arrangements, she would probably be worried to death.
The weather has been good these days and not too cold, so the children are having fun.
Anyway, the emperor has said that we just need to make sure nothing happens to the princes and princesses, and they can play whatever they want.
So the children tried to catch fish in the pond in the palace, but they couldn't catch any fish.
But that doesn't stop them from rolling around in the mud like monkeys.
Finally, the guards had to be asked to catch the fish.
The ornamental pond has been completely ruined.
The newly planted lotus roots had not yet had time to bloom, but the princes were asked to dig them up.
The Sixth Prince said that this is the lotus root, and it is delicious.
Then they fished it out and sent it to the kitchen.
The kitchen staff was at a loss for words when they saw the sprouted lotus root. They had no choice but to throw it away and use the real lotus root to cook for the princes.
In the end, they don’t understand anyway.
While the princes and princesses were making a fuss in the palace, something happened in the harem again.
Suddenly, the beautiful lady had severe abdominal pain and bleeding. After examining her, the imperial physician said that she had consumed something too cold, which led to her menstrual bleeding.
Fortunately, she was in good health, otherwise she might have bled to death.
"I've never been greedy and never dared to eat anything carelessly. How could this happen?" Miao Meiren's face turned pale from the pain. She had lost too much blood and was incredibly pale.
The doctor hesitated: "This... I can only see the symptoms, as for what you ate, how can I know?"
The imperial physician did not dare not answer. After all, this person was also a miracle. She came from a humble background, yet she gave birth to a prince.
When the prince was born, she not only survived, but also became a beauty.
"Okay, then let me ask you, did these symptoms come on gradually, or did I eat too many cold things at once?" Miao Meiren has been silent for many years, and now she is no longer as silly as she was when she first entered the palace.
"Symptoms like these should have lasted for a day or two..." The doctor said, then paused, "In that case, why don't you take a look at what you ate that you shouldn't have eaten?"
Miao Meiren hesitated, and her maid Chunhong suddenly realized something and took out a white medicine bottle from the bedside drawer in the inner room: "Doctor, please take a look."
The imperial physician took it, pulled out a snow-white handkerchief from the medicine box, spread it over the table, and poured out the brown pills.
He smelled them one by one, then frowned: "If I am not mistaken, this is the medicine for your menstrual period?"
Miao Meiren bit her lip: "That's right."
The doctor sighed: "Some of these... are for warming the body, and some..."
Miao Meiren clutched the bed sheet tightly: "This is... the medicine that Concubine Kangde gave me to replenish my body."
"This... I think... something went wrong, this..." When the imperial physician heard that it involved Concubine Kangde, he dared not say anything else.
"Forget it, let's go tell the Empress." Miao Meiren sighed, "I have never fought, but I don't want to die in such a muddle. If it weren't for the good medical skills of the imperial physician, I would have died. It would be muddle-headed even if I died."
The imperial physician was speechless. It was impossible not to tell the Empress about such a big thing.
In Fengzao Palace, the Queen frowned: "Are you sure?"
The imperial physician hurriedly said, "I dare not lie. Some of these medicines are for warming the uterus. Some are added with a lot of cold things like cowboy hats.
If you take this kind of small pill during menstruation, you usually take a handful of it, and most of it is cold. It's fine to take it at other times, but if you take it frequently during this period, it can cause continuous bleeding."
The Queen waved her hand and said, "Go, invite everyone here. Tell the Emperor. There is really no time to rest. Also call the people in front of Lady Miao."
"yes."
Soon, everyone arrived at Fengzao Palace. It was afternoon now, and when everyone heard the Queen calling them, they knew something was going on.
There was no delay and they quickly went to Fengzao Palace.
After everyone paid their respects, Emei came out and recounted what had happened.
Concubine Kang De was shocked: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have been delivering medicine to Lady Miao for several years, how could something go wrong only now?"
Chunhong, the maid of the beautiful lady, said hurriedly, "What Concubine Kangde said is true. Our lady has had stomachaches since...a few years ago, it was even more serious. It was only after Concubine Kangde sent her medicine that she felt better after taking it."
She wanted to say that it was since she gave birth to the third prince, but she didn't dare to say it. She could only vaguely pass it over.
This is also the sorrow of Miaomei people.
