Chapter 902 The eldest prince’s illness
The next day, after Xia Zihan arranged the food, she took two small buns and went to the Chu residence with Zhuo to visit Zeng.
After not seeing each other for a year, Mr. Zeng has become much older, and all the hair on his head has turned white. When he smiles, the corners of his eyes are filled with wrinkles. His face that used to look young now looks a bit older. The color of old age.
Xia Zihan looked at it, her heart ached, tears streaming down her face, she knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Zeng three times, "Grandma, my granddaughter is unfilial, and I just came to see you now."
Seeing that her precious granddaughter's forehead was bruised, Mrs. Zeng felt distressed. She quickly ordered her maid to help Xia Zihan stand up, and comforted her, "Grandma is fine. You don't have to worry. Your mother-in-law takes care of my two babies every day." Even if my great-grandson runs here, I won’t be able to relax.”
As soon as she finished speaking, two little buns rushed to her and called out softly and cutely, "Great-grandmother."
After shouting, he hugged Zeng's legs, indicating that he wanted to play on the kang.
In fact, they were afraid that Princess Qinghui would bring Da Lang and a few little ones here soon. Da Lang and Erlang liked to bully them the most.
They were young and were bullied by the Dalang brothers. They wanted to resist, but they were weak and couldn't beat them.
Only by hiding behind Zeng's back did Dalang and the others dare not mess around.
Chu Yixuan and Chu Yijie were carried to the kang by Xia Zihan and the maids, and they honestly played with the toys the maids gave them behind Mrs. Zeng's back.
Mrs. Zeng held Xia Zihan's hand tightly and sat on the kang with Mrs. Zhuo to talk.
"The Queen Mother has become much older recently. The Emperor's eldest son was born prematurely and was very sick. He almost lost his life several times, but was saved by the imperial doctors. The Queen Mother worked hard to treat his illness, but you and White Divine Doctor Xi Ge'er and the other three are not in the capital, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor do not like the medical skills of those imperial doctors."
Even if he doesn't like it, he has to let the imperial doctor treat him. Otherwise, the three doctors and disciples of Bai Shen are not in the capital and will not allow the imperial doctor to treat the eldest prince. When the three doctors and disciples of Bai Shen come back, the eldest prince may all die of illness.
Fortunately, although the imperial doctor's medical skills are not as high as those of Bai Shen and his three disciples, he can still do it while holding the eldest prince in one breath.
Mrs. Zeng sighed, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Yu Niang, you are back now. Over at the palace, the Emperor and Queen Mother will probably order you to enter the palace to treat the eldest prince. You must be mentally prepared. .”
"Thank you, grandma, for reminding me. I understand." With her medical skills, she was still confident that she could do it to recuperate a premature child.
Zeng told Xia Zihan with some worry, "This year, the emperor added two more princes and three princesses, and the harem became a lot more lively. Those empresses who gave birth to princes were promoted to the fourth concubine by the emperor. The empress who gave birth to a princess was promoted to three levels. However, as soon as the child was born, the queen mother sent someone to pick it up and kept it in the queen mother's palace, under the care of a special person. "
As for the ladies who gave birth to princes and princesses, they were a little unwilling to have their children snatched away by the Queen Mother, but after all, their children were all the same, and they were all kept in the Queen Mother's palace to raise, so no one had anything to say. However, secretly, You fight for it, and the lightning and thunder are going on more and more fiercely.
Especially those empresses who gave birth to princes.
Now, the queen is not favored and is grounded by the emperor. She is not allowed to leave the palace. The most important thing is that the queen has not given birth to a legitimate son for the emperor, so the prince they give birth to may become the future emperor.
And other women who gave birth to princes became their enemies.
For the chair in the Golden Palace, the mothers of the three princes fought openly and secretly, intrigued each other, and secretly formed gangs and recruited helpers.
In short, the Queen Mother has been busy with the education of her five grandsons recently and has no time to manage the harem. The palace is full of smoke and storms. If Xia Zihan wants to enter the palace to treat the eldest prince, he must be careful and cautious, cautious and cautious. Wan Ke didn't follow other people's ways and became a knife in their hands. This is what Zeng wanted to remind her.
Xia Zihan smiled, shook Zeng's hand back, and nodded repeatedly, "Grandma, don't worry. If I go into the palace to treat the eldest prince, I will be more careful so that no one takes advantage of me."
The Queen Mother would pick up several grandchildren and raise them, and she was also worried that a group of women in the harem would harm the children in their life-and-death fights and intrigues.
With the Queen Mother watching, who among those women would dare to do something under the Queen Mother's nose?
Xia Zihan was not afraid.
When Mrs. Zeng heard this, she nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma heard that Brother Aqixi and the others were able to successfully eliminate the Miao people this time. You made a great contribution, right?"
"Grandma, I just thought of some small ideas."
It seems that the matter in Miaojiang has already spread.
Xia Zihan thought of Ao Tianchen, who came back first, and the emperor's confidant Yin Linwei.
Zhuo, who was sitting beside her two eldest grandsons playing with their fingers, said, "Not long after the young prince came back, the news about you in Miao territory spread. Your father secretly sent someone to investigate. It was the two It was reported that one of the guards in the palace was drunk.”
"Publish it if it's passed on. What I did was a good thing, not a bad thing. I'm not afraid of it." Xia Zihan said openly, as if he had been mentally prepared for this.
However, Mrs. Zhuo snorted unhappily and said with a straight face, "Whether it's good or bad, you are the daughter-in-law of Prince Anjun. They shouldn't spread the news about you in private."
Afterwards, for this matter, she went to the Second Prince's Mansion and talked with the Second Princess. As soon as she left the Second Prince's Mansion, the drunken guard who casually spread the news about Xia Zihan was driven to Zhuangzi by the Second Princess. Work.
Zhuo later heard about this from Princess Qinghui.
Princess Qinghui said angrily, "My mother-in-law acted so fast. If she were to take action later, I would have to send that person to the government office and let him go to prison for the rest of his life."
Princess Qinghui's affection for Chu Yu is not fake, it is real.
What's more, Princess Qinghui is still a protector of shortcomings.
How could he endure a grown man drunkenly gossiping about Xia Zihan on the street.
Xia Zihan didn't care, but seeing Zhuo being angry, Xia Zihan still softened her voice and coaxed her, "Mom, so many people went together back then, even if he didn't pass it on, it won't take long for these people to People will know about it. Besides, it is your daughter-in-law who has made the contribution. You should be happy and proud of me.”
"That's right, my daughter-in-law is a hundred times better than other people's daughters-in-law." Mrs. Zhuo raised her head proudly.
"Auntie, I agree with this." Qinghui led a few little buns and walked in with a cheerful smile.
