MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 25
Rong Xin was very busy, but she promised to make candied fruit for Nemin, so she really took the time to do it seriously. She had no spare time during the day, so she asked someone to prepare plums and went back to her house to make them at night.
Only Nemin eats it alone, and there is no need to marinate too much. Rong Xin only prepares a porridge jar. After a series of processes are completed, it is sealed and placed in a cool place.
Mother Qi fell ill after the second prince left, and Rong Xin couldn't sleep either. When she went out, she saw that the room was still lit, so she knocked on the door of the mother.
In the former palace, many maids and eunuchs were ill and no one was able to treat them, but since Nemin became the queen, she has taken care of it, and Qi Mo is someone close to the queen, so she specially called for her Imperial Physician, his condition has improved in the past few days, but his mourning has not diminished.
"Cough."
"Aren't you drinking this medicine all the time? Why are you coughing so badly?"
Rong Xin had just come in from outside. She was worried that the cold air would pass, so she sat against the other side of the wall. When she saw Qi Mama coughing violently, she immediately poured a glass of warm water for her.
Mother Qi leaned halfway against the head of the bed, took the cup and took a sip, suppressing the itch in her throat, and said weakly: "Illness comes like a mountain, and getting better slowly with age Some things are common.”
"That being said, if you relax, you'll get better sooner."
Mother Qi was already a little thin, so she looked very serious when she straightened her face.
And she listened to Rong Xin's words, smiled bitterly, and said: "I advised you at the beginning, but now it seems that you can't rely on the old and sell the old, won't you get it back?"
"Where are you relying on the old and selling the old?" Rong Xin looked at her with disapproval, and then said with sincerity, "You don't know what you said to me like a slap in the face, otherwise I won't say it this time. Empress is in so much pain, I'm afraid I can't bear it."
Mother Qi shook her head, "Don't be humble with me. What happened to the empress? I didn't take good care of the second prince, but the empress didn't blame me..." After speaking, her voice was a little choked.
Rong Xin hurriedly persuaded: "Of course the heartbreak needs time to heal, but the lady said two days ago that she wanted to eat the candied fruit I made, I just marinated it today, and the lady is working hard to If you leave, don't blame yourself."
After hearing this, Qi Momo's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, "I am also satisfied if the maiden can be happy."
If it was a joke that Rong Xin looked after Nemin like a daughter, then Mammy Qi really devoted all of her to Nemin.
She was unmarried and had no children. After she came out of the palace, she moved into Hesheli's house. She has been by her side since Nemin was born, and she never had a trace of selfishness.
It's just that the second prince passed away, she blamed herself, and her words always showed depression.
Rong Xin persuaded her a few more words, and then she stopped delaying her rest. Before leaving, she said, "Take good care of your body, there is me in the Empress, there is no need to worry."
On the 14th, Rong Xin's candied fruit had been standing for seven days. She got up in the morning to taste one, and drank a few cups of tea before the sweetness in her mouth disappeared.
With this kind of taste, it was quite a failure, but she still came to Nemin's bedroom holding the jar.
Nemin saved the concubines from greeting the concubines for a period of time by Cheng Hu Youshang, so although she was awake at this time, she was leaning on the bedside in a trance, and saw her holding a porridge pot He came in and asked, "What is this?"
"I made candied fruit." Rong Xin opened the lid and showed her it. In fact, in terms of color, it was pretty good.
Nemin had eaten the candied fruit she made a few times before, and the taste was not bad, so she looked normal before getting up to wash and put it in her mouth.
But after feeling the taste on her tongue, Nemin's face was instantly tangled. After a while, she reluctantly chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, saying speechlessly: "It's really... sweet."
Rong Xin's smile was very gentle and harmless, "I thought it would be fine to put more sugar, but is it too sweet?"
"Very sweet." After rinsing her mouth, Nemin still felt an aftertaste, so she poured another cup of tea.
When Rong Xin heard this, she looked at the candied fruit jar with great pity, and said, "I thought you would feel better after eating the candied fruit I made, but I didn't expect it to be broken. Throw it away and I'll re-salt it for you..."
"There's no need to waste it." Nemin couldn't bear her disappointment, looked at the jar with difficulty, and said, "I know now, just drink some water when I eat it."
Rong Xin immediately said, "Then I'll put it on the drawer for you."
As she spoke, she put the jar on the cabinet. When she turned her back to Nemin, the corner of her mouth smiled even wider. She turned back and pressed hard before returning to its original shape.
"Niangniang, the reply from the emperor is expected to arrive today. After you have breakfast, I will ask you?"
Nemin finally took the initiative to start correspondence with Kangxi. When she wrote the letter, she greeted him and the empress dowager and their affairs in Chicheng. It is almost certain that the emperor will reply.
According to the schedule, that is, one or two days.
"No need to bother." Nemin said indifferently, "What should come will always come."
Rong Xin felt that Nemin's attitude towards Kangxi was much more casual now than when she first entered the palace, but she was measured, so it shouldn't be a bad thing.
But since Nemin didn't need her to ask, she stayed in peace, ready to accompany Nemin for a while before going to work.
When the maids were setting dinner, the little **** hurriedly came to report: "Reporting to the Queen, the little master of Yanxi Palace has launched."
Nemin nodded lightly, turned her head to Rong Xin and said, "Go there for me."
Rong Xin complied, bowed his knees, and hurried to Yanxi Palace.
In the past, Na Gao could give birth at any time, Rong Xin arranged it early, so there is no need to do anything after getting there, just wait patiently.
About two hours, Nagai gave birth to a prince successfully. After the imperial doctor's examination, Rong Xin returned to Kunning Palace and reported to Nemin: "Niangniang, little master Nagao has Give birth to five princes for the emperor."
Nemin put down the emperor's letter and asked casually, "What did the imperial doctor say after the examination?"
Rong Xin lowered her eyes slightly and replied, "Hey, little master is fine, the fifth prince... is also quite strong."
"Really strong..." Nemin repeated the word twice.
The imperial physician is often involved, and will leave three points for the diagnosis result, but Rong Xin doesn't like this. With Nemin's support behind him, he always asks for the clearest and most direct answer.
So the imperial doctor told her that she was "really healthy", which was really the case.
But even so, the fifth prince was already among the first-born princes, and the imperial doctor had the best diagnosis. Rong Xin had a feeling when he heard the fifth prince's loud cries outside the pavilion...
And Nemin packed up her emotions and said: "If you have nothing to do, help me study the ink, just in time to send the happy news of the birth of the fifth prince to Chicheng, the emperor will definitely be happy."
"Yes." Rong Xin picked up an ink stick and slowly turned her wrist.
Two days later, Chicheng's letter was quickly sent back to the palace, Kangxi was really very happy, and he said in the letter that the Empress Dowager was also very happy, because of his mood, his condition improved.
"The emperor named the fifth brother Baoqing, go to Yanxi Palace and let me know." Nemin said in a calm voice, "By the way, take a look at the fifth brother for me, and I need to reply to the emperor. "
Bao Qing...He must be the eldest prince in the future.
Rong Xin did not show any expression, took orders, and appeared in Yanxi Palace again after two days.
It was cold, so she didn't go in to see when the fifth prince was born last time. room.
Rong Xin stood outside and warmed up for a while, washed her hands again, and then walked into the inside.
The fifth prince slept soundly on the hot bed, Rong Xin stood not far away and watched for a while, probably sleeping comfortably, the sleeping baby had a smile-like expression on his face.
At this time, the child's smile is also revealed unconsciously. To be honest, Rong Xin felt that his little black and yellow face was actually a bit ugly, but it was such a slightly funny smile, It made her involuntarily bend the corners of her mouth.
Rong Xin went out of the room and asked the nurse a few more questions, such as "how long does the fifth prince wake up a day", "when do you wake up when you sleep", "how many times to eat milk"...
The nanny answered one by one.
As soon as Rong Xin heard her say that the fifth prince was "strong", he smiled and said, "It's good, eat more to grow stronger in the future."
She paused after laughing, and then said to the nanny: "If you accidentally hurt you, ask the doctor to take a look, don't take care of it yourself, otherwise what's wrong with the fifth prince? , you can't take responsibility."
"The slave will save it."
Since Rong Xin has come to Yanxi Palace, it seems a bit inappropriate to leave without seeing Mrs. Na Gao, so he let someone announce and speak to Mrs. Na Gai while standing outside the curtain.
The content is nothing more than the joy of the emperor and the empress dowager, and the empress's entrustment to the Naga family. The two exchanged polite greetings for a while, and then Rong Xin said goodbye and left.
Rong Xin thought that Nemin would gradually forget the pain of the second prince with the passage of time, but the fact is, she is getting thinner and thinner, such a warm day, she can have a headache for a long time , and later, it is often dizzy.
Nemin refused to tell Kangxi this matter, Rong Xin was very worried that she would not care about her body more and more, so when she sent a letter to Chicheng, she privately attached a letter to Liang Jiugong.
This was the first time she made an assertion without Nemin. After the letter was sent, Rong Xin took the initiative to admit her mistake.
"..." Nemin sighed, and then explained, "I just think it's a little boring, but it's actually nothing, it'll be better if it lasts longer."
Is it really okay, the patient said it does not count.
Rong Xin thought, anyway, the letter has been sent out, can it be that Nemin can still be intercepted and brought back?
And after Kangxi learned that the queen was not in good health, after careful consideration, he told the empress dowager about Ming Chenghu, and accompanied the empress dowager in Chicheng for a period of time. With her permission, Back to the palace.
In his last letter, he only comforted Nemin, and did not mention that he would come back, so Nemin was quite surprised to see Kangxi.
Immediately, she thought of the reason why the emperor came back, and said apologetically: "You have a lot of time, and you have to serve the queen dowager, so you came back specially for my trivial matter, my concubine. ...really distressed."
Kangxi, regardless of the presence of others, first held Nemin's hand and said, "Miner, you have lost a lot of weight, teach me how to rest assured?"
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that his temperament was much more mature and deeper than when he left Beijing at the beginning of the year, he must have been hit a lot, so he twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "My concubine is deeply moved. , but I also feel sorry for your tiredness, why don't you lie down in the hall?"
Kangxi did not refuse, and went in to rest together with Nemin's hand.
Rong Xin saw that the sullen look between Nemin's eyebrows really dissipated a little, let go of the worries in her heart, turned her head and bowed deeply to Liang Jiugong, "Rong Xin is here to thank Director Liang. "
Liang Jiugong immediately helped her up and said, "The Empress is not in good health, so she shouldn't have concealed it, and the female officer does not need to do so."
Rong Xin thanks again.
In the evening, Kangxi accompanied Nemin for dinner. With him, Nemin's appetite was much better.
Kangxi stayed in Beijing for more than half a month, except for the few days of Nemin's menstrual period, he almost stayed in Kunning Palace to accompany the queen, and only returned to Chicheng when her mood and health improved.
