MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 23
The concubine Dong gave birth to the second daughter of the emperor on the ninth day of March of the following year. In the palace, except for Nemin, who was placed as usual, they were treated equally.
Because of the third prince from the Naga clan, he is in critical condition.
Since he was born, he has been constantly decoction and medicine, but for such a young child, the imperial doctor's acupuncture and prescription are too light to be heavy, and in the end he still did not hold back. .
Kangxi is sad and powerless.
Even if Ma Jia's and Na Ga's were diagnosed with pregnancy again, he did not feel much joy, and even felt that there was a cloud called "destined" always shrouded in on his head.
Nemin is the queen and the wife, so she naturally has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of comforting the emperor.
But now there is only one prince, Chenghu, left in the palace, wouldn't Nemin think about her worries? Of course she would, but she didn't show it in front of Kangxi.
Rong Xin looked at the joys and sorrows of Nemin and these little masters, and sometimes it was inevitable to think that no matter how sad Kangxi was, more and more women would bear children for him in the future , And for these women, the death of a child is a real pain.
Nemin even presided over the general election. Even though Kangxi expressed that he was not in the mood to choose his concubine, he still chose a few beautiful girls to stay in the palace according to the regulations.
The general election in the seventh year was well arranged. This time, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager came out of Kunning Palace, and Kangxi also gave Nemin full authority to take charge.
One time, two times, Nemin even has time to do other things this time.
"No wind today, Qi Momo, pack up, let's take Chenghu to the imperial garden for a walk." Nemin's tone was very cheerful, she stretched out a forefinger to hook Chenghu's little hand, He smiled and teased him, "The Queen Mother took us Chenghu out to play."
Rong Xin stood beside him, watching the second prince grinning and revealing a few small teeth, yelling at Nemin "forehead, forehead, forehead" with a smile on his face.
Cheng Hu was held in the arms of Huang E-niang, and extended her finger to the rattle on the soft collapse, obviously wanting.
It was once bought by Rong Xin for Nemin, and now it is used by Nemin to coax Chenghu to play.
Rong Xin picked it up, turned it around a few times, the rattle made a "dong dong" sound, the second prince clapped his hands and laughed, and after taking the rattle, he stretched out two small hands for her to hug.
"We Chenghu are smart and know who is strong." Nemin is petite and often wears the bottom of a flower pot, so she is worried about falling on the child, so either the nurse is holding Chenghu, or Rong Xin was holding it.
As soon as Rong Xin heard Nemin say that she was strong, she remembered the time when she was holding Dong Shi. It is said that the next day, finger prints and bruises were clearly visible on her arms, and it took a few days to fade. Lose.
Her image in the palace was always "gentle and amiable", and occasionally she was described as "honesty" and "killing decision", but it was never too strange.
But since she rescued Dong Shi, words such as "strong as a bull" and "Confucius and martial arts" are quite normal. Those rumors say that she is a master of martial arts...
Rong Xin wanted to help her forehead every time she heard it.
"I have been with you since I was a child, don't you know what it looks like? Even laughing at me..."
Nemin smiled: "It's because I know that it's interesting."
Xue Qing covered her forehead and smiled shyly, "This servant is to make the concubine happy."
Today, Ne Min wanted to bring Cheng Hu with her, so she asked someone to arrange a sedan chair. After the palace maid helped the queen to sit up, Rong Xin gently carried Cheng Hu into her arms.
Nemin always had a smile on his face, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said to Rong Xin, "I think everyone loves to be with someone with a long smile. When I was waiting for you, I never had a sad expression when I faced Chenghu, so his temperament is so clear."
Seeing that Chenghu seemed a little tired, Rong Xin took the rattle in his hand, turned it slowly, and replied, "That's why the emperor loves our second prince very much."
The group went out of Kunning Gate and stopped at a nearby pavilion, and did not go further into the depths of the Imperial Garden.
Cheng Hu learned to speak early, he could speak a few syllables in less than a year, and now he can only speak a few words, but he can understand a lot of words, and he likes others to communicate with him very much.
Because of his weakness, he walked late, and now he is still a little trembling. Rong Xin bowed and supported his armpit, patiently accompanying him a little bit.
Nemin smiled and watched, every time Chenghu looked at her, Nemin waved at him.
After Chenghu walked for a short distance and was out of breath, Rong Xin picked him up and walked back to the pavilion, he was already asleep.
Nemin put the thin cape over Chenghu with her own hands, seeing his small body undulating slightly, the smile on his face faded a little, "Go back, he probably has to sleep until Shen Shih. ."
Rong Xin nodded and didn't change his hand, just carried the second prince all the way back to Kunning Palace.
Digestion, I dare not let him eat more.
Cheng Hu likes to play outside very much, but Ne Min and Rong Xin are too busy with the election, so they can't come out. Qi Mo is old and worried about the young palace maid next to him, so he personally accompanies him in Kun Turn inside the Ning Palace.
In Rong Xin's thoughts, no matter how weak you are, it is beneficial to move your muscles and bones a little, not to mention Cheng Hu likes it, what can be more important than happiness?
But if Chenghu is too tired, he will have a fever. The imperial doctor said that he should rest more and not be tired.
Rong Xin is not a doctor either. It is impossible for him to force the child to do something with Nemin's trust even when he knows that Chenghu is born weak. That would be stupid.
The Taiyuan Hospital represents the first-class medical level of this era. Since it is used by others, it should follow the doctor's advice instead of being arrogant and wanton.
In October of the same year, the four-year-old eldest daughter of the emperor died. On December 25th, Ma Jia gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor. Because he expected his grandson's heir to be healthy and strong, the Empress Dowager personally gave him a special Mongolian name - Saiyin Chahun.
Soon, the Empress Dowager became ill, and Kangxi was very filial, so he proposed to take his grandmother to Chicheng Tangquan to recuperate, and he would accompany him.
The court affairs can be sent to Chicheng Tangquan for review with Kangxi, but there must be someone in the palace to guard, and the only choice is Nemin.
object.
Nermin naturally agreed, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the concubines will be well prepared and will take care of the harem."
"Min'er." Kangxi supported Nemin's shoulders slightly, making her lean against his arms, and said with some guilt: "I know that you have been exhausted by Chenghu's body and mind recently, but Beijing is not suitable for the imperial grandmother to recuperate, and I am also in a dilemma..."
The importance of the Empress Dowager to Kangxi, Nemin knew, and never thought that a filial person like the emperor would abandon the Empress Dowager, so she shook her head and said softly : "My concubine also looks forward to the speedy recovery of the Empress Dowager. This time, I am deeply disturbed that the concubine cannot wait in front of the Empress Dowager's bed. How can I still complain about you?"
Kangxi sighed: "Miner is really my virtuous helper."
Nermin buried her face in the emperor's arms and said nothing.
Rong Xin saw her, and knew that Nemin was by no means as smooth as she said, but with the passage of time in the palace, she had already changed a lot, and she was no longer in the boudoir So pure.
And sure enough, in the next sentence, she listened to Nemin and said: "The emperor can't be without someone to serve, always bring a few concubines in front of him."
"I am serving the sickness of the Empress Dowager. How can I have the mind to take care of my own enjoyment."
"The emperor's words are bad." Nemin got up from his arms and said, "The emperor is a man after all, and he can't take care of many things, and he can't take care of himself personally. Someone will take care of you and Mrs. The empress dowager is in charge, and the concubines can rest assured."
Kangxi listened to what she said, and nodded affirmatively after a while: "It's still the queen who is thoughtful, what do you think?"
Nemin thought carefully and asked: "Tong Jia is delicate, and it may be difficult to travel long distances. Besides, I also have to have someone in the palace who can help me, why don't I bring Will the Niu Hulu Sect go together?"
"Yes."
Seeing that he agreed, Nemin said, "I will take the Zhang clan and Zhaojia clan to take care of you on your behalf."
Zhao Jia entered the palace in this year's draft. Her background is not high, but her color is good. She is considered to be the most favored by Kangxi among this group of beautiful girls.
And this time Kangxi did not object, "Just as Miner said."
In the evening, Kangxi did not stay at Kunning Palace, but went to Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager. Nemingong sent him away before waving his hand and telling the others to go down.
Rong Xin came over with a bowl of nourishing soup and said, "You rest early, I'll help you make a list of the things you want to prepare for the Empress Dowager, and present it to you at that time. Take a look."
Nermin put her fingers in her hair and pressed her head, and waved her hand: "I really can't eat it, so let's put it on the table first."
Rong Xin saw that she was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable, so she did not persuade her, but said: "Then I will ask people to warm outside, you can eat whenever you want."
"Good."
Rong Xin took the soup bowl out again, and after a while, came back, "I'll help you remove your hair, it can loosen your scalp."
When Nemin heard this, she nodded, sat upright, closed her eyes and let Rongxin move.
Rong Xin had already given birth by hand, and she was very careful to remove the bead hairpin a little bit, but she still accidentally pulled Nemin's hair, heard her "his-", and hurriedly asked: "Niangniang, you Are you alright?"
"
"Isn't this something you value?" Rong Xin gently put the flag to one side and pressed it lightly on top of her head.
"In fact, if it wasn't for Ma Jia's inconvenience to go out after giving birth, it would be more suitable for Niu Hulu to bring her and Zhao Jia, Zhang..." Na Min frowned slightly, "I'm still weak. some."
Rong Xin smiled and said: "My servant thinks your arrangement is just right, Niu Hulu's little master is stable, and the other two little masters are weaker; , you need something like the little master Ma Jia."
In the current palace, besides Nemin, the highest rank are the Niu Hulu and Tong Jia clans.
Tong Jiashi is not weak, even very smart, but she is too favored by the emperor, so naturally she cannot be asked to be beautiful in front of Kangxi at this time.
"That's what I thought, that's how I arranged it."
Rong Xin pressed for her for a while, and Nemin raised her hand to hold her hand and said, "Okay, I feel much more comfortable."
"Do you want soup? I'll bring it?"
In fact, Nemin still has no appetite, but she nodded and replied, "I'll drink some."
Rong Xin listened, and immediately went to serve it. When he came back, he brought a large bowl of soup and placed it in front of Nemin.
Ne Min couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Sister Rong thinks highly of me, how can I finish drinking this?"
Nemin picked up the spoon, lowered her head and took a few sips, suddenly said, "If it were my Chenghu, it would be nice to have a good place to spend the winter resting..."
Rong Xin saw tears dripping from the soup bowl, ripples appeared, but she still persuaded: "The emperor loves the second prince so much, if the second prince can't be bumpy and tired, I'm afraid It was arranged early, don't think too much."
Nermin took a sip of the soup and shook her head slowly, her nasal voice a little heavy, "I know it all, it's heartache."
Rong Xin tilted her head slightly, rubbed her fingers under her eyes, and said lightly when she turned around: "If you are like this, madam, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable for the second prince, he is so smart and sensible, seeing Just laugh. If you don't eat well and continue to lose weight, he will definitely prefer my hug, and he will feel panic in your arms!"
"How could Chenghu despise his empress?" Nemin glared at Rong Xin unconvinced, then picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of soup.
Rong Xin has always had a clear understanding of herself. She is never pretentious, but she can do and have the ability to do things, and she does everything she can to do it, so as not to leave regrets.
But for the first time, she couldn't help but wonder why she didn't work harder, or be more fortunate, to be favored by the gods...
Kangxi will accompany the Empress Dowager to recuperate. From confirming the trip to getting ready, he will officially set off on the 24th and will arrive at his destination in early February.
However, before they got the news of their arrival at Akagi Tangquan, Cheng Huxian died silently in his sleep.
Nemin was so sad that she even vomited blood.
