Less than two years after she left, Huiming returned to the Qiande Hall, but now she was not the former imperial maid of the past, but the name of the seventh prince's personal maid.
Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. In the past, the palace would have been very lively during this big and small festival, but in the past few days, His Majesty's "illness" has become more and more serious, and the palace is naturally not. Thinking of the festival, the whole day passed quietly, until the sun moved westward, and it was dark. Wang Ma, who was on duty in Changxing Palace, was instructed to say that His Majesty wanted to call His Highness Seventh over there. .
When the Seventh Highness went down to face the Holy Spirit, either Wang Mammy or Hui Ming was always inseparable, but the last time Mammy Wang had a cold and high fever, although she had been taking care of her body for the past two years, it was too long. After a long time, it still hurts the foundation, and suffers from a dry cough. I often can't help coughing. It is always inconvenient to go to the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, after the discussion, he simply asked Huiming to bring the seventh prince down to the Qiande Palace.
"Your Majesty is still taking the medicine, you can wait a while." In private, Su Jin's voice was as gentle and considerate as water.
Because in the Gande Hall, Huiming didn't dare to say more. Although he was still a little worried at the moment, he just nodded: "I'm fine, my father-in-law doesn't need to pay attention to me, and delay the errand."
Su Jin shook his head: "No need, His Majesty originally told me to come and see you, is your little highness alright?"
Knowing that he wanted to face the Holy Spirit, Huiming specially showed him a famous endgame map from the previous dynasty before he brought the little highness down. Although the seventh highness was also obediently standing aside, his eyes were empty, and the whole person They are all immersed in the chess manual, and they don't care about it at all.
Although it may seem a little stupid and sluggish when answering the salutation in front of the emperor, no matter what, it is much better than shouting after being frightened, so Huiming looked down at the jade carving-like motionless at this moment. Little Highness, nodded: "As long as no one is arguing with him, it will be fine."
Over the past year, Su Jin has also heard a lot of the situation of His Highness from Hui Ming's mouth: "Don't worry, there is no one else in His Majesty's bedroom, and His Majesty should have no intention of talking to His Highness now."
Hui Ming nodded, and seeing that there was no one around, he showed a somewhat casual intimacy, and asked with concern, "Is this errand tiring?"
Su Jin's face softened more and more: "Fortunately, let's go back together later."
Hui Ming also smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
While the two were gossiping, Yuanbao came to pass the message: "Your Majesty ordered His Highness to enter."
Su Jin and Hui Ming turned their faces straight when they heard the words. At the moment of Su Jin, Hui Ming took His Highness the seventh and then entered the bedroom in a proper manner.
Huiming has not seen His Majesty Xuande for a long time since he left the imperial palace. Now, at first glance, he is sure that there is not much difference from this time in his previous life. Because of his illness, he lost a lot of weight all of a sudden, but he lost weight too quickly. , the leather has fallen off, and it hangs loosely, looking quite scary.
Hui Ming didn't dare to take a closer look, and when he saw His Majesty standing up with the help of the palace maid, he hurriedly pulled His Highness on his knees and greeted him.
His Highness was still stunned, but Xu Shi was used to this action. He didn't resist under Hui Ming's pull, and knelt down unconsciously.
His Majesty sat up straight, gasped for a while, squinted his eyes and looked at the little Highness on the ground for a while, then seemed to be unable to see clearly, and motioned to come forward again.
Seeing this, Hui Ming got up first, still in the ear of His Highness the Seventh Highness, explaining that they were going to take a few more steps forward, asking His Majesty to take a good look, and even holding His Majesty's eyes for more than ten years. After resting his breath, he waited for His Highness's eyes to roll, and he clearly heard it. Then he continued to walk to the dragon couch, straightened up and knelt down.
Yun Hua Yu, who was on the side, raised the candle wisely and took a picture of His Highness more clearly.
Yu Gan knew the situation of His Highness. Although the Holy Order was hard to violate, he deliberately avoided it. He stretched his arms long, but people tried their best to stay away. It was Yunhua, she didn't know it, so she didn't care about it.
Huiming's heart skipped a beat, and when he turned to look, it was obvious that the little prince was a little nervous about the approach of the two, and it wasn't obvious on his face, but his subordinates counted the beads again.
His Majesty stared at the little highness's every move with such a good look. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Do you still remember who I am?"
The little highness seemed to be incomprehensible, so he didn't speak, but the Buddha beads under his hand turned faster.
After waiting for a long while, His Majesty seemed to have lost patience again, waved his hand, let go of his strength, and slumped against the soft pillow.
Accompanied by His Majesty's action, Yun Hua and Yu Gan retreated, and in the shadows, a slightly squatted white-haired old man walked up. After bowing, he went straight to his knees and touched the wrist of His Highness the Seventh. come over.
He was suddenly brought to this unfamiliar Gande Hall, and was stared at by so many people. His Highness was able to stay calm until now, thanks to the previous endgame spectrum that attracted most of his attention, plus Hui Ming and Wang Ma have taken good care of them over the years.
At this moment, the old man didn't say a word, and when he was caught so suddenly, His Highness the seventh was taken aback, and after abruptly dodging, he fell over towards Huiming.
Hui Ming's heart tightened, he straightened up and grabbed the Seventh Highness, stroking his back with one hand, and quickly reassured: "It's okay, His Highness is not afraid, that is the imperial doctor, who came to diagnose the pulse of His Highness. Didn't His Highness pass by before? Just touch Pulse, it's alright, alright..."
That's right, getting closer, Hui Ming also saw that the old man who came suddenly was the imperial doctor Yuan of the Tai Hospital. Not only was his medical skills superb, but he also won the trust of His Majesty. Since His Majesty's stroke, he has often appeared in Qiande. in the temple.
Huiming repeated these words of comfort and explanation many times, until he saw that His Highness Seventh His Highness calmed down a little, then turned to His Majesty and bowed again, explaining with some uneasiness: "Your Majesty forgives your sins. , His Highness has been in Jingfang Zhai since he was a child, and he has always been timid.
His Majesty's face was majestic, but he didn't make a decision. After a while, the imperial physician saw that the little highness had calmed down under Huiming's comfort for a long time, and then he leaned back again, but this time he seemed extra cautious, and the old lady physician who was also at a loss had practiced medicine for many years. The most important thing is patience. It took nearly a quarter of an hour to test it out bit by bit to finally find the pulse of His Highness the Seventh Highness.
After feeling the pulse, it took another quarter of an hour for the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse, and in addition to diagnosing the pulse, he ignored His Highness's fear and flinched. question.
That's all, the imperial physician just stood up tremblingly, and cupped hands with His Majesty on the couch: "Go back to His Majesty, although His Highness has a different personality, but his body is strong and healthy, and it will not hinder his sons."
offspring? Hui Ming frowned, then listened to His Majesty and said, "Then, will his dementia be passed on to future generations?"
The old doctor replied very cautiously: "I don't know mute, just from what I can see, His Highness is not stupid... Your Majesty is so wise and His Highness is just a coincidence, it is not common."
The words have been said so clearly, and Hui Ming naturally understands it, but she has not had time to be shocked, after His Majesty heard the words, he turned his eyes to the side of her: "I see, Xiao Qi is very dependent on you, you what is it call?"
Huiming paused, and only said his name very clearly: "Slave Song Huiming."
It was less than two years before she left the Imperial Palace, and when His Majesty heard the words, there was a familiar expression on his face. Before he could speak, Su Jin, who was beside him, took a few steps forward and knelt down: "Go back to Your Majesty, Hui Ming, the maid of honor Longen who went to Jingxiang with the villain at the beginning, released the royal and frontiers, and went to serve the Seventh Highness in the Changxing Palace of Concubine Kang..."
"It's the two of you... it's okay..." His Majesty suddenly realized, after looking at Su Jin, he glanced down at her, coughed lightly, and turned his head: "If that's the case, you can go back later and follow Su Jin. , go pick a few well-behaved and obedient palace maids, teach them well, ask them to learn, and serve Xiaoqi well in the future."
After all the calculations, the little highness has just reached the thirteenth!
Hui Ming was shocked, but facing His Majesty, he didn't dare to say even a single word of questioning.
When Emperor Xuande saw this, he turned his head and waved his hand. When Huiming saw it, he took His Highness to respectfully retire, and slowly left His Majesty's bedroom.
Although he left the hall, His Highness couldn't slow down for a while, and the old Buddha bead in his hand was tightly clenched and turned very fast.
Seeing the situation of the little highness, Huiming did not take him back immediately, but first led him to the washroom in the side hall, stopped for a while, and then called a little inner prisoner, instructing him to guard outside, Mo If you want to let people in easily, tell Eunuch Su along the way.
Fortunately, we all know that she is Director Su's counterpart, and the inner supervisors of Qiande Hall are not embarrassed about this trivial matter, and they are all attentive.
Hui Ming asked for another glass of water, waited patiently in the cubicle for His Highness to calm down completely, drank a cup of tea, and washed up on the way, until the sky outside had completely subsided, which was considered good. .
Seeing this, Huiming was about to ask someone to tell Eunuch Su again. When she brought His Highness back to Jingfangzhai, Su Jin was in a hurry and walked towards her with a serious face.
"Go back first." Seeing Huiming leaving the hall, Su Jin first asked her and His Highness to retreat from the compartment: "I can't get out, something happened outside, you guys just wait here."
Hui Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition: "What's wrong?"
Su Jin nodded with her and lowered her voice: "King Rui has started."
Hui Ming took a deep breath: "It's only July 7th..." After saying that, he stopped. This time, because of her, Eunuch Su and His Majesty's choices and actions have changed a lot. Forcing the palace, what does it mean to increase the number of days from Zhongyuan to July 7th
What's more, Huiming has indeed waited/prepared for too long for this day. Although this time is slightly different from the last time, Huiming has a faint sense of relaxation.
Last time, Eunuch Su was killed in the Zhongyuan Rebellion. This time, King Rui forced the palace to be no longer in the Zhongyuan Festival, and Eunuch Su will definitely be fine!
Thinking like this, Hui Ming looked up at Su Jin again: "How is the situation now?"
Su Jin's voice was steady, and she even brought some gentle reassurance: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has already prepared, King Rui has just started, and the palace has already responded, and nothing will happen."
Huiming's heart was like a thread hanging in the air, but her face was extraordinarily calm. She even smiled: "Okay, then I'll be here. When you come back, let's go home together."
After hearing this, Su Jin's face became more gentle, he reached out and pressed the broken hair on Huiming's temple: "Okay."
Huiming just stood there like this, watching Eunuch Su's figure disappear into the corner, and after a while, he and His Highness the Seventh Highness hid back to the side hall compartment.
No candles were lit in the side hall. In this darkness, time passed a little bit, and the Qiande Palace went from silence to the sound of soldiers running and shouting from the window. Soothing the panicked Little Highness, her eyes moved with the movement of the beads one by one with the Seventh Highness, and she suddenly thought of something, and took the bead that the Little Highness had given her before. He came out and held it in his hand, but the heart that was suspended was never put down for a long time.
It was like this, until the Qiande Palace returned to silence, and there was a shimmer of light outside the window lattice on the east side. The little highness couldn't hold back and squinted on the large armchair, but Hui Ming remained motionless. Just staring out the window carefully.
"Hui Ming."
When Eunuch Su just came in outside the cubicle, Huiming didn't even react for a while, until the handsome figure walked in front of her, and Eunuch Su's warm palm gently caressed her forehead, and Huiming was in a trance. In between, it seemed that she finally got out of a nightmare that had haunted her for many years.
She raised her head slightly, clearly wanting to laugh, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was inexplicably choked: "Eunuch Su."
Su Jin was a little flustered when she saw her appearance: "What's wrong?"
Hui Ming seemed to laugh and cry: "Eunuch Su, you are alive."
Although Su Jin was a bit inexplicable, he still explained comfortably: "I am naturally alive, and King Rui's many methods can be cleaned up, trust the king, but in front of His Majesty, it is worthless. Mention, I am with Your Majesty, naturally..."
"Eunuch Su!" Hui Ming didn't have the heart to listen to this, she reached out and grabbed Eunuch Su's warm, living palm, and finally laughed for real: "This time, Eunuch Su wants to be with me for a long time, for a lifetime. I... No, that's not right." Hui Ming said and changed his words: "Long, long, life after life!"
Su Jin heard the words, and under the morning light, his eyebrows were also gentle like the light of the newborn, his voice was clear and clear, as if he wanted to carve these words into his heart, and he repeated every word with extra seriousness: "Long. For a long time."
"Life after life."
