Chapter 39: I grant you the cure of all diseases and a long life
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother stopped the matter at this point, "Today is my birthday, it is a happy event, you'd better not put those little plots in front of me, if you make me unhappy, I'm afraid none of you will be happy."
Everyone:?
The Queen Mother is... admonishing everyone?
Why does it sound like she is defending Concubine De?
"I don't like noise at the birthday banquet, especially when there is little Abao in this palace, the princess is still young, so as not to scare her."
Concubine Rou smiled softly, "It seems that the Queen Mother really likes the little princess, sister Defei is really blessed."
In the past, when the royal heir was born, whether it was a princess or a prince, the Queen Mother never held them so lovingly.
Now the tenth princess is an exception!
Although everyone was unhappy, they could only mutter a few words in their hearts, and no one dared to show it on their face.
After the birthday banquet, Defei carried Abao out of Cining Palace.
On the way, Zhilan couldn't help but blame herself: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's all because of my carelessness. If I had been more careful, you wouldn't have been reprimanded at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet today."
Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not pursue it, otherwise she would be to blame even if she died.
"It's not your fault." Defei has figured it out. The string of Buddhist beads must have been swapped when Zhilan dropped it.
"De Fei, you are so lucky. After giving birth to the little princess, you are even more blessed." Concubine Rou walked to De Fei's side without knowing when, and said with a smile, "In the past, if you made a scene at a wedding banquet like this, you would be grounded.
I never thought that Sister De Fei would only receive a few words of reprimand."
De Fei frowned slightly.
Concubine Rou: "Be more careful next time. People may be lucky once, but they may not be lucky every time."
Concubine Rou smiled and left with the maid.
Zhilan was so angry, "Your Majesty, it must be Concubine Rou who swapped the Buddhist beads. At that time, the Buddhist beads fell, and only Concubine Rou picked them up to look at them.
Now that Your Majesty is being reprimanded, Concubine Rou is still adding insult to injury. This is too much."
Concubine De glanced at her, "Zhilan, I have taught you so many times that you must not talk nonsense about things in the palace without solid evidence.
If you are not careful, you will lose your head."
Zhilan's eyes were red, and she followed Concubine De to Yihe Palace, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I remember it, but I am really worried about Your Majesty.
If something happens, what will happen to the little princess?"
Concubine De frowned. Zhilan was her maidservant who came with her as a dowry and her confidant for many years. Even though she was banished to the cold palace, she was able to give birth to Abao safely thanks to Zhilan's careful care.
But this girl is always protective and straightforward.
"Abao is so lovable that it is inevitable that people will envy her. Next, we must be more careful."
Today, only the Buddhist beads fell off. Other situations may happen in the future.
Abao lay on Concubine De's shoulder, straightened up, and touched Concubine De's cheek with his little hand, his eyes full of smiles.
[Don't be afraid, mother, Abao will protect you]
"Abao, mother is not afraid of anything, but I am afraid that I can't protect you."
Abao's eyes curved into a crescent shape, waving his little hands, with a little pride on his face.
[Mother, don't worry about me, my daughter is super awesome! ]
It's just that I'm a little small, and there are some things I can't do.
But it's more than enough to protect mother and myself.
...
At night, after the empress dowager took the medicinal diet, she fell into a deep sleep.
In recent days, she felt that her health was getting worse day by day.
Thinking of the little tenth princess she held in her arms during the day, the Queen Mother, who was always in a bad mood, smiled a little and felt warm in her heart.
After A Bao fell asleep, she suddenly felt as if she heard someone groaning in her ear.
She could hear the coughing sound that was extremely painful and suppressed, very clearly.
She saw an old man lying on the bed in the white mist, tossing and turning, in pain, as if she was about to die...
It was the Queen Mother, she was sick and looked particularly suffering.
She entered the Queen Mother's dream.
A Bao floated into the white mist, and her small body fell in front of the Queen Mother's bed.
Her eyebrows and eyes curved like a little boy, "Grandma, give your hand to Abao." The Queen Mother
was surprised when she saw Abao, "It's Abao."
The Queen Mother subconsciously stretched out her hand, "Is Grandma going to die soon? Abao is here to see Grandma, come, let Grandma hug you."
Abao took the Queen Mother's hand, and drew on her palm with his little hand, and wrote the word "Shou" on her hand, "Grandma, you are kind, loyal and righteous in your life, and you are a blessed person. Abao will grant you all the cure for all diseases and live to be a hundred years old." The Queen Mother
looked down at the word "Shou" on her palm.
For some reason, the word "Shou" actually shone with golden light, and gradually disappeared in her palm, as if it fell into her body.
The Queen Mother widened her eyes and watched Abao disappear in front of her eyes with a smile, "Abao!" The
Queen Mother woke up suddenly.
Seeing the familiar bed curtains, she realized that she had just been dreaming.
And she actually dreamed of little Abao.
She stretched out her right hand and saw that her palm was white and moist, and it was bare and empty.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh at herself.
How could she feel that the dream just now was so real?
It was just a dream.
"Your Highness, the doctor is here." Upon hearing the Queen Mother's voice, the nanny hurried forward to serve. The Queen Mother was in a very bad condition tonight, and her health was getting worse. Seeing
that something was wrong with the Queen Mother, the nanny called the doctor in advance. The Queen Mother
sat at the head of the bed in a daze, obviously not coming back to her senses from the dream just now.
She raised her arm and felt that her body instantly became a lot lighter, not as heavy as before.
"The Empress Dowager's condition is much better than the last two days, and her complexion is better than before. If she continues to take the medicine, I believe her health will get better and better." The nanny sent Doctor Yu out, thinking that Doctor Yu was just being polite.
The Empress Dowager had been ill for many years, and her new illness has been going on for more than a year. She returned to the palace recently because her health was getting worse.
Rumors were spreading in the palace, and everyone knew that the Empress Dowager didn't have much time left, but they never said it out loud.
The nanny came in from outside and whispered, "Empress Dowager, please go to sleep, I will stay with you."
For some reason, in the dark, she found that the Empress Dowager's face was much rosier than during the day.
It couldn't be that the Empress Dowager was having a last hurrah.
The nanny felt more and more uncomfortable.
It seems that today's birthday banquet has not been a success.
