Chapter 81 Care
Concubine Yu was feeling very aggrieved, but Shen Qing didn't do anything after receiving the reward. If people thought she was a member of the Queen's party, then so be it. She had made an enemy of Concubine Yu anyway, so there was nothing wrong with other people thinking of her. She was just relying on the Queen's influence, so what as long as she wasn't really working for the Queen?
It can’t be in vain that she pretends to be a grandson so many times, right?
She gave the cloth and jewelry she had received to Chunhua, telling her that those that needed to be put away should be put away, and those that needed to be made into new clothes should be made into new clothes. It was not a big deal for her to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, so there was no need for her to stand out.
Chen Qing now feels that the Queen Mother might not be able to figure things out, but since she is the Queen Mother, she should just behave herself. There is nothing else to worry about.
While preparations for the Queen Mother's birthday celebration were in full swing, the Queen Mother actually fainted from anger.
In the past, the empress dowager was often unhappy when Xuanyuan Ling came to pay her respects. This time, she had an argument with Xuanyuan Ling again because of the birthday party. When she learned that Xuanyuan Ling had investigated and punished the officials in Ganzhou who sent tribute tea, and took the opportunity to purge the court and make an example of him, the empress dowager became so angry that her eyes turned black and she fainted.
There was chaos in Shouxiang Palace. Cuiyun was the head nanny. She thought over and over again that she had to report this matter to the Emperor, but she couldn't act rashly, otherwise the Empress Dowager would definitely blame her.
So he could only call the imperial physician first, and then send someone to report to the emperor after making sure that the empress dowager was fine.
As a result, when the imperial physician came to take the pulse, his brows frowned and he became nervous.
Cuiyun asked from the side: "How is the Queen Mother?"
It was really hard for the doctor to answer. At this time, the Queen Mother woke up. She exhaled and looked at the doctor in front of her. Her face was a little heavy. At the same time, her hands and feet were numb. She felt that she was not feeling well. She panicked: "Tell me the truth, what happened to my body?"
The eunuchs and maids around were all silent. Cuiyun asked them to leave, leaving only the imperial physician. The imperial physician's forehead was sweating and he said, "The Empress Dowager has hyperactivity of liver yang, inflammation of heart fire, and excessive yin and fire, which has led to deficiency of both yin and yang, so she is dizzy."
"I don't need to listen to what you said." The Queen Mother's expression did not improve: "I just want to know when I can recover from this illness and whether I will faint like this again in the future?"
The imperial physician really didn’t dare to say.
When the Queen Mother saw the doctor's expression, her eyes went dark again. She squeezed out a question: "Is it life-threatening?"
"Please calm down, Queen Mother. I have some tranquilizing pills here to protect you."
"No problem?" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes: "Not recovered?"
The imperial physician was really panicked: "Your Majesty..."
I can't really say the word "heal".
The Queen Mother held her head and took a deep breath: "Will I be troubled by this illness in the future, having headaches and fainting from time to time?" Her hands were shaking a little. She was panicking. How could it suddenly become like this? She still had to celebrate her 45th birthday.
"No." The imperial physician was very conflicted, but he also knew that the empress dowager was not an easy person to deal with. He had served the empress dowager since she was a concubine, so he knew her temper. Thinking of his master who had passed away suddenly five years ago, he did not dare to act rashly and could only say carefully, "The empress dowager's illness is not serious, but it is not something that can be cured all at once."
The Queen Mother looked at him and slowly calmed down: "It won't work in the short term, but it's not incurable, right?"
The doctor was in a difficult situation and could only say, "Yes."
"I will give the Empress Dowager acupuncture. The numbness in her hands and feet will soon disappear."
The empress dowager didn't quite believe it at first, but after the imperial physician gave her acupuncture, the numbness in her hands and feet really improved a lot. She actually believed what the imperial physician said, and her mind was at peace. As long as she could be cured, it would be fine. However, she still blamed the emperor in her heart. If it weren't for what he did in the previous dynasty, why would she have become sick from anger?
How unfilial!
The Queen Mother's summons for the imperial physician was naturally reported to Xuanyuan Ling. Xuanyuan Ling frowned when he heard it: "What did the imperial physician report?"
"It's just that it's Yin deficiency and excessive fire, maybe it's related to the current dry weather." Zhao Hai answered hesitantly.
Xuanyuan Ling knew what Zhao Hai was hesitating about, but didn't take it to heart: "Ask the imperial physician to take good care of him, and send some tonic medicine over."
After all, he can't pretend not to know. As for visiting, if he goes, who knows, the Empress Dowager might get even angrier. If she's sick, he can just go find the imperial physician, that's good.
After all, he had made some trouble in the previous dynasty, and he felt relieved. The empress dowager... the empress dowager was confused, and it would all be over after a while.
Xuanyuan Ling has completely forgotten about the empress dowager at this moment. If you want a big birthday party, I will hold it for you. Isn't it just pretending to be a loving mother and a filial son? So I will pretend, but you do your thing. I won't give you face in the court. I will do my own thing.
Previously, the Queen Mother was holding me back, as she was always bound by the mother-son relationship. But now it feels particularly refreshing.
Xuanyuan Ling thought, this time it was Shen Qing's fault. If it weren't for her move to find the queen, he would not have let it go so quickly.
That's right, Shen Qing can serve him when she is supposed to, but when she turns around and goes to pay respects to the Queen, she pretends to obey, but actually disobeys. The Queen has been deceived by her, so why can't he return to the previous dynasty and just be praised by the Queen Mother? Why must the two of them be of the same mind?
You can enjoy yourself without causing trouble.
In the final analysis, it's the same thing.
Xuanyuan Ling thought of Chen Qing again, and wanted to go see her, but today was not a good day, so he gave up. However, because he had been hearing about birthdays recently, Xuanyuan Ling remembered something: "When is Concubine Xi's birthday?"
How could Zhao Hai not know this? Ever since Xuanyuan Ling doted on Shen Qing, he has been paying attention to Shen Qing. This person is now a person who can make the emperor happy. He said: "The name list of the noble entering the palace originally stated that she was born in May on May 15th."
This means that she actually passed her birthday just a few months after entering the palace, but he missed it without even knowing it.
Xuanyuan Ling said, "Go find her a piece of jadeite, it's better. I see she doesn't like to wear a lot of jewelry, but most of the jewelry she can wear is exquisite and probably has her own ideas. After you send it to her, ask her what she thinks. It will always suit her taste if it is carved according to her ideas."
It can be considered as a small compensation for missing her birthday.
Zhao Hai agreed, but before he left, Xuanyuan Ling said, "Also, tell the imperial kitchen not to slack off. Don't neglect the noble lady's food just because she's feeling better. If she wants to eat something, just tell her to go to the imperial kitchen. Go to the imperial kitchen and tell them to keep it in Zhaohua Palace privately and don't let anyone know."
Zhao Hai walked out and exhaled the sun's breath. He protected and kept it close, and specifically ordered that no one should make it public, for fear of causing hatred to Concubine Xi.
In the past, all rewards were given openly, but now that the Emperor is thinking about Concubine Xi, he doesn't want others to know about it.
This is really heartfelt.
Zhao Hai had originally wondered whether this person would fall out of favor after the selection of newcomers into the palace in a year or so. With the current situation, he wondered if any of the newcomers would be capable enough to surpass this person.
