Chapter 73 Regaining Favor
"Concubine Shu, why are you here?"
Nearly two years have passed since Yang Ni's rebellion.
In the past two years, Concubine Shu Yang Huan has been imprisoned in Yonghe Palace, and she is not allowed to see her unless ordered to do so.
Of course, Zheng Yi has never seen Concubine Shu Yang Huan in the past two years.
Unexpectedly, what I saw today was actually in this situation?
She used her noble status as a concubine and pretended to be a palace maid. While the draft ceremony was being held, the harem mobilized a large number of eunuchs to serve in the imperial garden, so she quietly came to the imperial garden.
The eunuchs guarding Yonghe Palace were also transferred to the Imperial Garden.
That's why he could find a loophole and come quietly.
"Your Majesty, you always called me Huan'er. What's wrong?"
Yang Huan's eyes were full of grief and she grabbed Zheng Yi's trousers.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at my concubine's past relationship. Can you take a look at Yao'er?"
"Yao'er? How is she?"
"Since the beginning of winter, Yao'er has been suffering from a high fever. I, Qing'er, and Ning'er have been taking care of me day and night. However, I can't find an imperial doctor..."
"Bold!"
A chill flashed through Zheng Yi's eyes, Yao'er is my eldest daughter.
I imprisoned Concubine Shu as punishment, but Yao'er must be innocent, why should she suffer like this?
"Show off in Yonghe Palace!"
"No!"
“Show off in Yonghe Palace~!”
Zheng Yi also took Yang Huan's little hand and let her sit on his sedan chair.
"Huan'er, thank you for your hard work."
Yang Huan is inherently beautiful, and she usually wears complicated and noble clothes that are eye-catching.
And recently, in order to see her, she actually dressed up in palace maid clothes, making her look even more youthful.
Zheng Yi's heart moved. Isn't this the oldest temptation in uniform?
He immediately put his arms around Yang Huan and placed her on the sedan chair, comforting her softly.
The sedan chair walked all the way to Yonghe Palace, and all the eunuchs and maids along the way saw it.
Many beautiful ladies, nobles, concubines, etc. also looked sideways and knelt down to salute.
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty~!"
After Zheng Yi was driven away in his sedan chair, many people started talking in low voices again.
"Which palace maid is your Majesty holding in your arms? You can reach heaven in one step!"
"Shh~! That's not a palace maid, she's a concubine from Yonghe Palace!"
"Concubine Shu? Which concubine Shu?"
"My young master, be silent. Concubine Shu is Yang Ni's daughter. She has been imprisoned in Yonghe Palace for two years. I didn't expect that today I would take this opportunity to regain favor!"
"Hiss... Concubine Shu can stand up again, this palace is about to change again!"
"So what if Concubine Shu is so powerful? She is the daughter of a guilty minister, so she is lucky to be able to guarantee her own safety!"
"Not bad, Concubine Shu is nothing to worry about."
"However, I think the group of eunuchs and maids serving the Yonghe Palace will be in trouble!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"I heard that Kang Dahai, the eunuch in charge of Yonghe Palace, secretly deducted Concubine Shu's monthly salary, including charcoal, thermos, hot water, etc. in winter!"
"What? This slave is so bold!"
"Ha~! What's this? Kang Dahai only dared to do this because His Majesty hadn't come for more than a year. Unexpectedly, he met Concubine Shu and regained his favor."
"Shhh... Go quickly, go quickly, don't talk about the masters' affairs."
The maids and eunuchs were talking a lot, but Zheng Yi had already brought Yang Huan to Yonghe Palace.
"I have met His Majesty!"
The only two maids left in the Yonghe Palace quickly ran out and knelt down to say goodbye.
"Meet, meet His Majesty!"
Two little lolita also knelt aside and said in a sweet voice.
"This is..."
Yang Huan on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, these are Qing'er and Ning'er, they are the clan sisters of my concubine."
"Yang Xuequing, Yang Xuening, come quickly Qing'er Ning'er, I've met Your Majesty."
"Oh~"
Zheng Yi remembered that at that time he promised Yang Huan to bring out two little girls, and it seemed that these two were the ones.
"Your Majesty, brother, you are so tall~"
"Your Majesty, brother, are you sister Huan'er's husband?"
The two little lolita raised their heads and asked innocently. One of these two little lolita was over five years old and the other was over three years old. It was the right time for people to pity them.
But they were wearing several layers of thin clothes, and their faces were red from the cold.
"Be good, Qing'er Ning'er, I am your brother-in-law~"
Zheng Yi pinched the cheeks of the two little girls with gloomy eyes.
Ice.
Although it is early spring now, and it is warm and cold at first, the faces of these two little girls are cold.
Not only that, he felt it when he first came in. There was a cold feeling inside and outside the Yonghe Palace, and there was no warmth at all in the palaces of other harem concubines.
I took a look at the brazier. It was still cold, without a trace of warmth, not even charcoal!
The most important thing is that Qing'er and Ning'er don't have any resentment towards them.
It seems that Yang Huan did not tell their life experience.
Children are the ones who can’t hide their emotions the most.
"Where's Yao'er?"
"Inside."
Inside, a child was sleeping on a wooden bed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of herbs.
"Yao'er~"
Zheng Yi took two quick steps and carefully observed Yao'er's condition.
She was sleeping deeply at the moment, but her brows were furrowed on her rosy little face.
He touched her head, but it felt a little hot and her lips were still dry.
"Why do you have a fever? Call the imperial doctor!"
"No!"
Liu Chengen agreed and ran out quickly.
"Yaoer has a fever?"
Yang Huan also hurried over and said distressedly: "I, I was fine before I left. What's wrong?"
A palace maid said: "My queen and the little princess have never recovered from their illness. The fever keeps coming back and forth, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"Wow wow..."
Maybe the crowd's voice got louder, which woke Zheng Yuyao up, and she started crying immediately.
"Yao'er is good, Yao'er is good... The mother-in-law is here, the mother-in-law is here."
Yang Huan quickly hugged Zheng Yuyao in her arms and patted her shoulders softly to soothe her emotions.
"By the way, look who's coming, it's the Father~" "Don't you keep shouting that you want to see the Father~"
After a few breaths, she put Zheng Yuyao on her arms, let her little body lean on her arms, and faced Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yuyao, who had just woken up, had a flushed face and a few tears on her big watery eyes, which were as cute as a little apple.
She also found a strange man standing in front of her, looking at her eagerly.
"Wow~!"
Not watching for a few seconds, Yaoer grinned and started crying again.
"Be good~ Yao'er is good~ It's the father~"
Yang Huan became nervous and quickly comforted her.
Zheng Yi was also speechless. This was his first time, no, counting the day he was born, it should be his second time.
Unexpectedly, he would cry like this during this meeting. He immediately reached out his hand and patted her gently.
"Yao'er is good, don't cry, don't cry, you are your father~"
Perhaps after hearing Zheng Yi's voice, Zheng Yuyao, who was still distressed at first, actually stopped, hid her little head in the seam of Yang Huan's chest, and secretly revealed one eye to look at Zheng Yi.
"Father, Father...hug, hug..."
As he spoke, he also tried to extend his little hand to Zheng Yi.
"Haha, be good, be good~"
Zheng Yi laughed and hugged Zheng Yuyao over.
The little girl's body was weak and boneless, as if she was holding nothing.
After all, Zheng Yi hugged the other four princesses, so he still knew how to hold the child.
But compared to the other princesses Yu Huan and Yu Xia, Yu Yao appears lighter and smaller.
"Kick, Kick, Kick... Father, Father, you are here!"
"Yao'er is very happy, Yao'er is very happy~!"
Zheng Yuyao said softly, causing Zheng Yi to pinch her neck, his eyes filled with distress.
"Yao'er, are you cold?"
Only then did he realize that Zheng Yuyao was wearing at least four or five thin clothes. Like Yang Xueqing and others, her little face was still a little red.
"No, it's not cold~"
Zheng Yuyao stretched out her little hand and nodded in front of Zheng Yi, "No, it's a bit cold at night. Yao'er hugs the queen, sister Qing'er and sister Ning'er, so it's not cold~"
< br>
Zheng Yi paused in his heart, hugging Huan'er, sister Qing'er, and sister Ning'er?
In other words, to keep out the cold, they sleep together at night?
The eunuch of Yonghe Palace deserves to die!
The other little princesses have all the necessary food and clothing, their bedrooms are extremely warm, and they are always served with honey and water.
And his eldest princess...
He pushed his head against Yuyao's forehead and whispered: "Is your father's head hot?"
"It's not hot, Yao'er's head is hot~"
Zheng Yi felt even more distressed and hugged her tighter.
At this time, Liu Chengen walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, bring the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital!"
Liu Chengen was the best at figuring out the holy will, and directly brought three experts from Tai Hospital who were the most skilled in traditional Chinese medicine and the best at pediatrics.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Yeah."
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Let's check on the princess's illness. Be sure to take good care of her."
"No!"
Three imperial doctors immediately gathered around Zheng Yuyao, taking his pulse and examining him.
But Zheng Yi summoned the two maids who were still in Yonghe Palace and said in a deep voice: "What are your names?"
"Return to Your Majesty, my slave, Vanilla."
"Return to your majesty, slave koi."
"I ask you, where are the eunuchs and maids serving in Yonghe Palace?"
Zuo Zuo thought that his eyes were full of resentment, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, they have all been transferred away by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
"The empress Yonghe Palace was originally served by twelve eunuchs and eight maids. The little princess was still young, and she was originally served by two wet nurses. Unfortunately, they were all transferred away later."
"Especially the chief eunuch Kang Dahai, not only transferred people away to curry favor with other concubines, but also withheld all the food and clothing expenses of our Yonghe Palace, and even did not provide enough charcoal in winter."
"If the empress hadn't let the slaves sneak out of the palace to sell the dowry jewelry, we would have been frozen to death~!"
Zheng Yi looked cold and didn't bother to find out. This matter was common in the palace.
Concubines who are not favored or who are relegated to the cold palace will be humiliated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and even other concubines, eunuch leaders, etc.
This is already an unspoken rule that is not open to the public.
But since he was discovered by himself, he could only be severely punished.
"Liu Chengen."
"The slave is here!"
"I am ordering that all eunuchs and maids who left Yonghe Palace for any reason will be executed with a cane!"
"No!"
"Replacement of candidates for the Internal Affairs Bureau's Internal Affairs Bureau. The original Internal Affairs Bureau will be assigned to the Internal Criminal Division. Heavy punishment!"
"No!"
"As the Ministry of Internal Affairs rearranges the palace staff to settle in Yonghe Palace, order..."
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "I ordered the Jingshifang to hang up the Shufei sign again."
Liu Chengen was shocked and immediately said: "No~!"
At this time, the imperial doctor also withdrew.
"How's the princess?"
The leading doctor said: "Your Majesty, Princess Yaochi just has ordinary evil wind entering her body. She only needs to expel the cold from her body and not be disturbed by the cold. She will be back to normal in less than half a month."
"Prescribe the medicine."
"No!"
"Also, who is the imperial physician in charge of medical affairs in Yonghe Palace?"
"The doctor in the imperial hospital is Zheng, the imperial physician Liu Chen."
"Liu Chen, the doctor at the Imperial Hospital, neglected his duties and disrespected the emperor's orders, causing the eldest princess to stay in bed for several months and commit suicide."
The three imperial doctors trembled and immediately said: "No!"
"Go down!"
The three imperial doctors retreated tremblingly, and Yang Huan also walked out excitedly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Yao'er seems to be feeling much better."
Zheng Yi took Yang Huan's little hand and said, "Huan'er, thank you for your hard work."
Yang Huan was excited and her face was a little red, but she still said: "These are what I should do as a concubine."
"By the way, Your Majesty, I was reminded by Qing'er a few days ago, and I remembered that when I was ordered to question my father and Yang Ni, he once said another thing about the Huo Lingzi."
< br>
"Oh?"
Zheng Yi subconsciously squeezed Yang Huan's little hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
