Prince Anyang and his son didn't know what the imperial physician was thinking at this time, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the imperial physician's words.
The imperial doctor went to give another injection to the unconscious Princess Anyang. Princess Anyang soon woke up, and then saw her pale son on the bed, and couldn't help crying while covering his handkerchief. It was really heartbreaking until the imperial doctor repeated it again. The words just now stopped the tears.
The imperial doctor ordered some paper and ink to prescribe a few medicines, and then gave some precautions - such as not being close to women for a year, keeping abstinent, abstaining from alcohol, meat and sex... It is completely copied from the monk In daily life, what monks usually do, the son of Prince Anyang will do in the future.
Anyang Wang and his wife listened seriously and nodded frequently. Prince Anyang's son has a disheveled face. He is a man who loves meat and love, and he can't do without brocade clothes and delicacies. Everything must be exquisite and exquisite. How can he endure such a lonely life. Seeing her son's pale face, Princess Anyang began to cry again. She touched her son's face and screamed heartily.
After the imperial doctor explained the precautions, he walked away with his medicine box shaking.
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu so kind to hurt my son like this, isn't it clear that we'll have no sons or grandchildren in the future?" Princess Anyang said bitterly, wiping her tears. She also knew what kind of virtue her son was, and thought that someone outside must have resented her son for making him like this, and now she only thought of killing the person who hurt her son.
King Anyang was also furious, and the veins on his forehead burst out of anger. "Damn it, who the hell is so daring to hurt my son?! This king is going to copy his nine clans, and let him taste it too!!"
"Yes, my lord, the villain who hurt Xiao'er must not be spared. Even the sons of the royal family dare to hurt, isn't that against the heavens?"
"Tomorrow, I will go to the emperor to uphold justice... No, I will enter the palace to face the saint later!"
"Yes, the concubine also went to find the concubine mother, and asked her to go to the palace to find the empress dowager..."
The couple kept saying that they wanted to seek justice for their son. This kind of thing had happened many times. Every time the only son got into trouble, Anyang Wang and his wife always protected the only son without any complaints. He doesn't care whether his son is right or wrong, he just uses his power to solve the problem. But this time, listening to their usual discussion, Prince Anyang is not as relaxed as before, as long as he just leaves it to his parents, everything is ok. what an idea.
After losing their temper for a while, Anyang Wang and his wife turned their heads to look lovingly at their son on the bed, and said with heartbroken eyes, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoer, tell Dad, who hurt you so viciously?"
Prince Anyang's eyes flickered, but he refused to speak. When Anyang Wang and his wife asked anxiously, they simply closed their eyes and screamed in pain, indicating that they were weak now and needed to rest.
Anyang Wang and his wife naturally didn't dare to prevent their son from recovering from his injuries, and they promised to let their son rest. After they left the door, they immediately lowered their faces and called the guards who followed the son today to come over and ask.
After all, Prince Anyang still has some brains, he knows that he can't tell this matter by himself, otherwise even his father won't protect him.
Therefore, after hearing the report from the guards, Anyang Wang and his wife looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
After learning that the person who hurt their son was the legendary Princess Su, the couple were surprised for a while. Because of the fate of Su Wang's wife and son, none of them in the royal family is the same as that Su Wangfei - there is no need to pay attention to a dying person. But who would have thought that such a woman, who in everyone's eyes could be "killed" at any time, had the audacity to hurt their son, and finally let King Su protect her.
King Anyang knew Chu Baning's character clearly. He was rigorous by nature and fair in dealing with things. He would never cover up a person like this. And now, he actually shielded his princess without even an apology
"If it's the seventeenth brother... that's all!" King Anyang's spirits were suddenly weakened, and he waved his hand to let the guards go down.
When Princess Anyang heard this, she became anxious, and immediately covered her face and began to cry again, saying, "My lord, how can this matter be forgotten? Our Xiao'er has suffered so much, but we can't seek justice... Wuwuwu... Xiaoer, you are so pitiful, mother will accompany you to die..." Saying this, she got up and was about to rush to her son's room.
King Anyang was so angry that he dragged her back. Seeing her crying so sadly, he felt helpless and said, "What do you want to do? He is King Su who is the first person under the current emperor. Besides the emperor, who else does he listen to?" ?Who dares to show him face? Which of the brothers who are still alive is avoiding him? Instead, you let me go against him? Don’t you think I’m happy that I can’t get along in this capital because of him? ?”
Princess Anyang doesn't care about these things, she only knows that her precious lump has been hurt by someone, even if that person is the emperor, she dares to go and get it back.
"Woooooo... I don't care. I can't even support my son. What's the use of you as a prince? Why don't we both die together..." As he spoke, he continued to cry.
King Anyang was really upset by her crying, and he thought of his younger brother's face that was more serious than Lao Tzu's, so how could he dare to ask him for an excuse? Speaking of which, his son offended him first. King Anyang was also annoyed at the moment, and said angrily: "If you didn't spoil Xiao'er to such a virtue, why would such a thing happen? You still have the face to cry with me! Seventeenth brother is right, Xiao'er's virtue should be Changed it. After he recovers from his injury, I will let him face the wall and think about his mistakes, so as not to go out and embarrass me!!"
After speaking, King Anyang shook his sleeves and left.
Princess Anyang stared blankly at her husband who just left like that, in disbelief for a while. This was the first time since she gave birth to her son that her tears had no effect on her husband. Obviously, no matter how much she cried before, she let her go, why didn't it work this time
How can this work! Her family Xiao'er is still suffering, and the vicious and short-lived Princess Su who hurt her son must not be allowed to go unpunished.
After her husband failed here, Princess Anyang immediately wiped away her tears, went back to her room and asked her maid to draw a haggard and sad makeup for her. All the way, Zi let the maid help him to the courtyard of Princess Anyang.
As soon as she entered the courtyard where Concubine Anyang lived, she began to cry with a heartbroken voice: "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, you must make the decision for Xiao'er..."
Concubine Anyang's real surname is Yao, and she is the daughter of the Yao family, a century-old family in the capital.
Concubine Anyang can be said to be a senior concubine who fought hard in the harem of the first emperor. She has come to this day step by step, and she has become a concubine who even Emperor Chongde respectfully calls "Mother Concubine" when she sees her. concubine. When the first emperor was still there, the harem was simply a small battlefield where the power of the former dynasty was concentrated. The concubines competed for beauty and tried their best. It can be said that it is not easy for a concubine to survive in the harem. Concubine Anyang not only survived, but even gave birth to the third son of the late emperor. She once became the imperial concubine under the queen in the palace, and she was very beautiful for a while.
To this day, there are not many elderly concubines left by the first emperor. Except for some young and childless ones who were moved to the palace where the concubines lived in the harem, the concubines with sons can let their sons take them out of the palace and enjoy them in their son's mansion. every day. Concubine Anyang is one of them.
Concubine Anyang fought among women all her life, enjoying a life full of glory, wealth and power. She was careful and careful step by step, and finally after the tenth prince came to the throne, she retired behind the scenes and became her concubine safely. This is really an amazing thing for a concubine with an older prince.
However, what no one knows is that Concubine Anyang had a glorious life, but she suffered a lot at the hands of her sister of the same clan, the current queen mother. To this day, every time I think of the wrong step at that time, I can't help but feel resentment. If it wasn't for the queen mother, perhaps her son would become the emperor today, and she would be the only person respected in Chonghua Palace.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Anyang are sisters with the same surname, and they once supported them through the stormy harem, which is a model of sisterly love. But who knew that the two sisters once fought and framed each other for the supremacy of the throne, and they hated each other so much that they wanted to drink their blood and eat their flesh.
However, Concubine Anyang is also insightful. She knows that the current emperor is a rare and wise emperor. If this emperor is allowed to be her son, he may have been in chaos long ago. When the first emperor passed away, he left a lot of mess. It's not that the new emperor tried his best to save the crisis and clear the order of the Ning Dynasty. It seems that the Great Chu Dynasty would not have a relatively peaceful situation today. Therefore, although Concubine Anyang resented the Empress Dowager, she did not take advantage of the influence of her connections in the harem for half her life to rebel.
Now, after knowing that her only precious golden grandson was nearly lost by the empress dowager's daughter-in-law, Concubine Anyang broke out immediately, and without saying anything, she got into the carriage angrily and went straight into the palace.
In the Chonghua Palace, beautiful and graceful maids shuttled back and forth, serving tea and snacks to Princess Anyang, who was said to rarely visit the palace.
Although Concubine Anyang is over fifty years old, she looks very young, she looks like she is only in her early forties. On her black hair is a rich gold ornament, and she is wearing a palace dress embroidered with peonies. She lives a comfortable life and has few wrinkles on her face. Only a few deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes make her look not so young .
Princess Anyang gives people the impression of tranquility and indifference like water. Facing her is like facing a pool of water that cannot be seen to the bottom. You will never know what will be underwater.
The Empress Dowager is kind-hearted and gentle, with a benevolent smile like Maitreya Buddha on her face, which makes people feel very friendly.
The two women sat in the main hall of the Chonghua Palace, exchanging elegant greetings, showing deep meaning in every move.
I don't know how long they have been probing each other, but the queen mother finally has no patience to go around in circles with her.
"I don't know why my sister came to Ai's house today? Could it be that she likes the tea here? If you like it, Ai's house can ask the emperor to reward you with some." The queen mother said generously, covering it with a handkerchief Smiling, I said in my heart that I was aggrieved to death.
The Empress Dowager was also puzzled, she didn't know what Anyang Concubine Anyang was here for today, and why did she choose such a time that was neither too early nor too late. The Empress Dowager did not believe that Concubine Anyang would specially come to see her and drink tea with her to express her sisterhood. However, the superficial work that should be done also needs to be done, so that this woman will not get old and become a stumbling block for herself.
Princess Anyang heard the words, put the teacup in her hand on the table, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just came to congratulate my sister for having a good wife! Princess Su has lived to this day without being restrained." Now, it’s really not easy.”
When the queen mother heard this, she almost fell down in anger.
Didn't this woman come out to mock her? Although the queen mother's life was not smooth, it was smooth and smooth. Since she became the queen mother, no one except this woman dared to talk to her in such a weird way. As we all know, the fate of her youngest son, Chu Baning, has always been a pain in her heart, and now she is not angry at letting her former rival say that.
Soon, the Empress Dowager changed into a calm smile and said: "Look at what my sister said, the Su Wangfei whom Aijia kissed is naturally a good one." I’m still waiting for her and King Su to give birth to a few grandchildren for the Ai family.” Compared to your King Anyang, who can’t give birth to cubs, King Su of her family is still young, so maybe he will give her a few grandchildren in the future .
Princess Anyang didn't know her sarcasm, so she didn't get annoyed at the moment, picked up a small red fruit on the table and ate it, and said slowly: "At least when King Anyang was as old as King Su, my Xiaoer was born." So, Do you think your son can really give birth? Maybe it's really like what the eminent monk at the White Horse Temple said, "Keep your wife and sons away"~~
"You—" The queen mother was so angry that her liver hurt again.
Concubine Anyang saw that the fire was almost ready, and she was about to tear her face apart, so Fang lowered her face and said, "Huh, then sister, tell her sister clearly! Your good daughter-in-law is also very powerful, and she almost caused my Xiao'er to die. Hurting the root of life! Who dares to hurt my Xiaoer, who will not go to see the King of Hades? Sister, you have to give me an explanation today, otherwise I can’t guarantee that your good wife will be killed as soon as the outside said. 'K' is dead!"
"you-"
The Queen Mother had heard it at the beginning, and she was still applauding Ananda in her heart, shouting that a good daughter-in-law would not let the Prince of Anyang be disabled directly. At the end of hearing, there is only vomiting blood.
She believes that Concubine Anyang will definitely do what she says! Don't look at Concubine Anyang who seems to be staying in the Anyang Prince's Mansion all these years, eating fast and praying to Buddha, who knows if she left behind any contacts and influence when she helped her son win the heir? Maybe although she can't force the palace, she still has the ability to make a princess die unexpectedly.
"Hehe, sister, why are you so angry? You have to let the Ai family know how Princess Su hurt Prince Anyang's son. If it is really the fault of Princess Su, the Ai family will definitely not cover it up." The queen mother said in a polite manner.
Concubine Anyang said unreasonably: "Anyway, my Xiao'er was indeed injured by your wife. If you don't give justice, my sister doesn't mind telling the royal family about this matter. You know, King Anshun and the others have always Worrying that there is no reason to go to Beijing."
The queen mother finally got angry: "How dare you!" No one knew that King Anshun was ambitious, and the cat was waiting for the opportunity to enter the capital and force the palace in the northwest. If King Anshun is really given the opportunity to enter the capital, then the capital will not be a mess.
Concubine Anyang laughed and said, "Your sister is already the empress dowager, how can she be so irritable? Calm down, don't let the palace people see the joke!"
to die! ! If it weren't for you, a dead woman, threatening Aijia, wouldn't Aijia not be irritable? !
The queen mother roared in her heart, but when her breath was calmed down, she could only ask someone to invite Su Wangfei into the palace with a stiff face.
*****
After the carriage of King Su's Mansion entered the city, Chu Baning did not take Ananda back to King Su's Mansion directly, but went shopping in the street.
Ananda lifted the corner of the car curtain and looked out at the street with bright eyes. She hadn't been out for a long time, and she felt like she was going to be a bastard.
Seeing that her eyes were almost glued to the car window, Chu Baning pursed her lips to suppress her smile. Chu Baning directly asked the driver to drive to a restaurant called Yunshangju, and then took Ananda down. car. After a while, they were already sitting in a box on the second floor of the restaurant. Looking up at the window, they could see a small river flowing through the city outside. This situation is full of an ancient rhythm of life, much like the life described in the Qingming Riverside Picture.
The neatly dressed shop waiter quickly delivered the food they ordered. Ananda saw that the restaurant's signature dishes, which the shop waiter said, were well matched in color and tangy, and possessed the three aspects of color, fragrance and flavor. Ah calmly smiled, not letting herself look like a foodie, although she was actually hungry.
After Ru Cui set the dishes and chopsticks for the two masters, she gave a salute and went out.
"These are Yunshangju's special dishes, you can eat to see if it suits your appetite." Chu Baning said.
Ananda smiled reservedly, and said: "I heard from my father that there is a special Heyi cake in Yunshangju, which is very unique. You have to eat it on the spot to get the taste."
Chu Baning thought for a while, then said softly: "That's a refreshment for digestion after a meal, and I'll ask them to bring one up later."
Ananda was sweet in his heart, and showed him a sweet smile: "Thank you, my lord."
Chu Baning couldn't help touching her head. The girl smiling in the sun, with her dark eyes narrowed and a sweet smile on her lips, was like a cute and docile cat, making people want to pet her. rub.
Although Ananda was not used to his sometimes touching his head, he also knew that this was a sign that he wanted to spoil someone, and his heart became more and more sweet, as if the incident in the White Horse Temple just now had long since ceased to exist. Along the way, Ananda saw that Chu Baning didn't mention it again, so he tactfully didn't say anything. In terms of understanding current affairs, she has always been a hero.
However, when I thought that in two days, this man would have to leave for several months, my heart felt sour again.
