Chapter 216 Reverse Control 1
In the following days, Xiao Jingheng would stay by Song Zhao's side for a long time every day.
He said he was accompanying her, but he also teased his precious son a lot.
Since it was the three-day holiday, he would always come whenever he had time.
She also told Song Zhao to take good care of her after giving birth, and it was best not to even get out of bed and walk around during the first ten days or half a month.
On the eighth day after Song Zhao gave birth, she heard that Li Ma's house outside the palace had caught fire for no apparent reason.
After the fire was put out, four charred bodies were found.
One pair is an adult man and woman, and the other pair is a boy and girl who are less than ten years old.
Others speculated that it was a child from a certain family who came to play in Li Ma's house and was burned to death when a fire broke out.
But what is the truth? Who knows?
When Xiao Fuzi reported this to Song Zhao, she was trying to comfort the crying Cheng Yu.
Hearing this, he just hummed lightly and didn't take it to heart.
Yunshan felt a little sorry for what he heard.
After leaving the inner bedroom, Xiao Fuzi saw Yunshan's blank expression and asked, "What's on your mind?"
Yunshan sighed softly, "I always feel that those two children are innocent. They are unaware of what Nanny Li did..."
"Innocent of what?"
Xiao Fuzi rarely frowned at Yunshanban, "If you hadn't been alert that day, Madam Li would have cut her with the scissors and the queen and Prince Yu would have been in trouble. What is the queen's fault? What is Prince Yu's fault? The reason why the two children died is because their mother took the wrong path, and no one else is to blame. Don't dare let the queen hear you say this. It's useless to praise you for your progress for two days, and you start to be confused again."
"I know, I know!" Yunshan stuck out her tongue at Xiao Fuzi, "You are such a nag! Instead of lecturing me, you might as well go to the Imperial Hospital first. The Fairy Jade Girl Powder that the Empress uses every day seems to be almost gone, so bring some back."
Xiao Fuzi not only took the Jade Girl Powder, but also brought back a seemingly unimportant piece of news to Song Zhao.
At that time, he was adding new ingredients to the makeup and powder drawer while chatting with Song Zhao:
"Your Majesty, when I went to the Imperial Hospital just now, I saw someone from the Empress Dowager's palace going to invite the imperial physician."
"Empress Dowager?" Song Zhao stopped sewing and looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Didn't she come to see Cheng Yu the other day? She looked fine. What's wrong with her?"
Xiao Fuzi said, "It's not a big deal. The temperature has dropped in the past two days. The Queen Mother has caught a cold, so she sent the imperial physician to take a look."
Song Zhao was silent for a moment, then he put the embroidered bellyband aside and stood up and said:
"The Queen Mother is the one who cares about me most. She is ill, and as her daughter-in-law, I have to go and see her."
Xiao Fuzi hurriedly advised: "Your Highness is still in confinement, and the Emperor has also told you to move less, otherwise..."
"I know my health condition well. Besides, the Emperor is in court right now. I'll be back soon after visiting the Queen Mother. Just don't let him know."
Song Zhao insisted on going, and Yunshan and Xiao Fuzi had no choice.
Later, when Yunshan was helping Song Zhao change his clothes, he took out a crimson purple cloak with a hundred bird patterns.
Song Zhao only took a glance and said, "This color is too bright. The Queen Mother worships Buddha all year round. It's not appropriate for me to wear this dress to visit her. Can you choose something more plain?"
She pointed to the right side of the closet and said, "That lake blue flowing cloud brocade Su-shaped cloak was given to me by the emperor a while ago. I haven't worn it twice yet. Let's take it."
Yunshan got the order and fetched clothes for Song Zhao to change into.
This flowing cloud brocade cloak may look plain, but it is very expensive.
Especially the tassels under the clothes, which are very particular.
It is made of gold thread and natural silk intertwined together, and is decorated with the entire skirt. It shines in the sun and looks very beautiful when she walks.
Moreover, this tassel is very precious. Xiao Jingheng only gave it to Song Zhao.
Because of this matter, the Concubine Chen was quite jealous.
By the time Song Zhao rushed to Xianshou Palace, the imperial physician had finished treating the empress dowager.
At this moment Qingzhu was helping the empress dowager take medicine.
The Queen Mother saw that it was her and said hurriedly:
"Why are you here in such a cold weather? You are still in confinement, and I told you to stay still."
Qingzhu nodded, and immediately went forward to greet Song Zhao and sat on the warm seat opposite the empress dowager.
"I heard that the Queen Mother was not feeling well, and I was very worried about her, so I wanted to come and visit her."
Song Zhao behaved very well and spoke in a soft voice, which made the empress dowager feel distressed.
"What can I say to you, kid?"
Song Zhao naturally moved the medicine bowl over and personally served the empress dowager the medicine.
Then he accompanied the Queen Mother to chat about daily life.
However, most of these family conversations revolve around the little one in Song Zhao's arms.
The Queen Mother had met Cheng Yu twice, and that child was really capable.
Every time he saw the Queen Mother, no matter how hard he cried, he would immediately calm down.
"I and Chengyu are destined to be together. Just like I and your mother are destined to be together, so are you."
Song Zhao smiled softly and said, "I think my aunt is in heaven and sees that I am doing well now. I am loved by the emperor, cared for by the queen mother, and have a prince to raise. My aunt will definitely be happy for me."
When mentioning Bai, the Queen Mother felt somewhat sad.
She held Song Zhao's hand and said kindly, "You have done a great service in giving birth to the emperor's heir. I think the emperor should promote you to the position of consort. You gave birth to a precious son for the emperor, so you deserve the position of consort."
Song Zhao shook his head and smiled peacefully.
"I don't care about the position of concubine or not. I have only been in the palace for a year. Thinking about it, I have been promoted from a concubine to a concubine. The emperor has shown me favor, but it has also broken the rules. Now I just want to serve the emperor well, raise Chengyu, be filial to the queen mother, and keep the virtues of a housewife, and I will be content."
This was a well-mannered statement, and the Queen Mother felt relieved when she heard it, and she felt even more sorry for this sensible child.
"Although you don't care about your position, you are the mother of the noble son after all, and it is not appropriate for you to be just a concubine. And since you entered the palace, I have been observing you. You serve the emperor attentively, and never scheme against others. You don't like to get involved in the right and wrong of the harem, and you only want to live your own life. It is rare to have such a calm temperament, and I like you very much."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking, x
Qingzhu, who was waiting outside, suddenly turned back and reported respectfully:
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is on his way to Xianshou Palace. He has already reached Shunchang Gate and will be there soon."
