"No, no, we can't consider Mi Zhen." The two sisters discussed it for a long time. Zhao Yidong made up his mind before and said to the concubine, "His original superficial experience is difficult to control. That time the King of Gaomi took the initiative to expose that he was living in the grass. Is he the master who has been killed step by step? Sister, how terrifying would such a person be? Bidong is already old, and I am not young either. I can’t afford to take the trouble! Choosing him is too risky!"
"Secondly, once he leaves Xijiang, it will be difficult to predict his future. Without a future, he will just be an ordinary clan member. At most, he is just a bit more talented. What's the use to us? And we always Can’t you go to Western Xinjiang by yourself?”
"Then who should I choose?" Concubine Shu said with a headache, "There are only a few people in Yi's room... At first, Mi Zhen was not suitable, so she didn't consider anyone else. At that time, it was probably because he was the one with Zhu Yu first. When looking at other people, I always feel that one is dissatisfied with the other. "
Zhaoyi pondered and said: "Doesn't that mean that Concubine Mo is critically ill? The two kings of Gaomi and Guangling took turns taking their children and grandchildren to the side hall of Xinshou Palace to attend to the illness. Let's take this opportunity to have a good look at the situation?"
Although Concubine Mo was not the biological mother of King Gaomi, in the past when the late emperor was still around, because Concubine Rou, the mother of Prince Guangling, was so favored, the concubines took the initiative to show their goodwill to Concubine Rou.
Later, when the late emperor died, Empress Dowager Meng forced Concubine Rou to be buried. At that time, King Guangling was young, less than ten years old, and could not leave the palace to live alone. Huan Guanlan and other ministers resolutely opposed Empress Dowager Meng and let Prince Guangling The idea of going to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning for three years was not given to Concubine Mo to raise before.
Although Concubine Mo's attitude toward Prince Guangling was much worse after Concubine Rou's departure, she had fulfilled her duties as an adoptive mother because of King Gaomi's persuasion and the consideration of winning over old ministers such as Marquis Zhuang of Huaiyuan.
But after King Guangling opened his palace, he treated Concubine Mo as his biological mother during every New Year and festival.
Just after the epidemic in the Gaomi Palace that year, Concubine Mo and Concubine Gaomi changed their temperaments drastically at the same time and stayed behind closed doors. Even if there was no New Year's Eve banquet, Concubine Mo was willing to see her biological son, Prince Gaomi, and Prince Guangling If you don't want to visit me, you will refuse.
The feeling of foster mother and adopted son gradually faded away.
At that time in Bu Nao, Concubine Mo was seriously ill, and it was said that her time was running out. King Guangling was so sensible that of course he went to her sick bed to fulfill his duties as the Son of Man.
Originally, King Gaomi had a lot of government affairs. Since his brother, King Guangling, was helping to serve the concubine, King Guangling should spend more time waiting on the bed, so as not to disturb his brother's business.
But before, King Guangling took refuge with the Meng family, and there was a concubine Meng in the palace. Therefore, King Gaomi could not trust him. Whenever King Guangling came to the throne, he would personally stay and watch, which made the atmosphere awkward.
King Guangling felt embarrassed when he came east two or three times, so he said he was ill and stayed in the palace, and asked the prince and his wife to enter the palace on his behalf to fulfill their filial piety.
That month, Zhao Taoshang wore a dress that was relatively simple but did not make people think that she was preparing to observe filial piety, and went to the side hall of Xinshou Palace with Rong Qing'an.
It turns out that Xinshou Palace is the residence of the Queen Mother, and when outsiders come, they always ask to see the Queen Mother first.
But Empress Dowager Meng was old, and those who were in confinement were too lazy to meet irrelevant people, so Zhao Taoshang and his wife went directly to the place where Concubine Mo lived.
When they arrived, they saw that the crown prince of Gaomi, Rong Qingzuo, was already there with his concubine Tonglian. When Rong Qingzui saw his cousin and his cousin's wife, he stood up to greet him: "Are we here?"
Rong Qing'an has a deep relationship with his biological mother, Princess Chai. Under the influence of Princess Chai, he has always had a good impression of the Gaomi Palace. Before, King Guangling switched to the Meng family, he was actually very good at it, especially with the passing of Concubine Meng. He had a big opinion against King Guangling.
When he saw Rong Qingzui at this moment, he naturally would not neglect him. He took a step forward and saluted: "Brother!"
Bu Nao Cuo Tong Lian was too lazy to watch. He had always felt that for the death of his mother, Princess Chai, even if Concubine Meng was not the culprit, she was also one of the accomplices. Therefore, he had an aversion to the concubines and the like.
At that time, he didn't even bother to give me a look, so he asked, "How are you doing, sister-in-law?"
Did Mrs. Qi have a baby in the first half of the year last year? She had given birth some time ago, and she had a daughter that time. Because she already had three male children, it didn’t matter which gender was involved in the birth, so whether Mrs. Qi had a baby or not I am very happy whether I can drink it or not.
Just as Qi's father had taken too much medicine before, and the seven children he had given birth to, there would always be losses to the mother's body.
Maybe it was because Ke Ke was able to bring Tong Lian back with her. Anyway, after the birth and confinement, she fell ill. At that time, she was quite weak, for fear of bringing in the sick air. Palace, so I didn’t come, otherwise Tonglian might not appear there.
At this moment, when Rong Qingzui saw his cousin asking about his wife, a hint of worry rose in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he said, "Your imperial doctor has looked at it and changed the prescription. I hope it works that time!" "
"Aren't you talking about the cold? Why hasn't it healed for so long?" Rong Qing'an asked with concern, "Are you being fooled by the imperial doctor? Brother, you have always had a good temper. Don't you think that someone would take that into account and you wouldn't care about it during diagnosis and treatment?" "
Rong Qingzuo shook his head and said: "The cold wind is just a clue. In fact, Fu Yuan'er has been suffering from some physical problems, but it was not discovered before. If the root cause of the disease is eliminated, then we can take our time."
The two brothers chatted for a while about Qi's health, and Zhao Taoshang asked Rong Qingzui's newly acquired daughter: "My niece's full-moon wine, because they didn't go to her filial piety, they really neglected her. Wait until they come back. When they are out of confinement, they must make up for it for their niece!"
"Brothers and sisters are so outspoken. Didn't we arrive, and the ceremony was already here? In that case, why bother to make up for it?" Rong Qingzuo said gently, "It's true that the child has not benefited from us in vain, and he will not be there until then." Please say hello to us, and when she grows up, please beg us to make up for her!"
After a few words of greetings, Rong Qing'an and his wife remembered to ask about Concubine Mo's situation... The reason why they didn't think of Concubine Mo until then was that they didn't really believe that Concubine Mo was well. She was critically ill, but they all felt that the concubine's move was not to help the King of Gaomi, but to put pressure on Rong Suihe.
Rong Qing'an and his wife had no interest in the father-son fight in the Gaomi Palace, and they had no interest in the relationship with Concubine Mo. At this moment, they had the idea of obeying their father's orders, which was quite a bit embarrassing.
"The mother-in-law is very bad." Hearing this, Bu Nao Rong Qingzhu quickly dimmed his expression and sighed, "Actually, he asked the imperial doctor privately. The imperial doctor said that there was no hope for my grandmother, but she had no idea of survival and refused to do so." Take your medicine well... Then if you go east, you won't..."
