Chapter 078
The Queen Mother's cough gradually stopped.
On the sixth day of taking the medicine, I no longer coughed day and night.
The emperor praised Gu Jinzhi several times.
The Queen Mother also pulled her, and Qionglan Palace simply stopped her and let her rest in Kunning Palace.
Every day before the Queen Mother went to bed, Gu Jinzhi would massage her palms and soles.
As a result, the Queen Mother slept particularly soundly every night.
The Queen Mother said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you don't have to get up at the fourth watch from now on. You can sleep one more time and get up at the beginning of the fifth watch to go to court. The Ai family has slept well these days. The Ai family will not wake up until the emperor goes to court."
.The emperor cannot even greet him when he comes..."
Her tone was full of lightness and joy, and she held the hand of Gu Jinzhi sitting next to her.
Except for his own young brother Zhongjun, the emperor had never seen his mother love anyone so much.
He is also happy, that's right.
But for more than a year, he was used to getting up at the fourth watch, and he woke up when the time came, unable to fall asleep. The emperor got dressed, had breakfast, and went to Kunning Palace again.
The Queen Mother did not wake up, but Gu Jinzhi got up to boil medicine.
The emperor said a few words to her.
Although she answered respectfully, the emperor did not feel the trepidation or caution that he usually heard. Unconsciously, his words became casual.
He felt very relaxed chatting with Gu Jinzhi.
It is very difficult for the emperor to chat easily.
He wants to be approachable, but others will not forget that he is aloof and has the power of life and death in the world. The closer he is, the more others will guess his deeper intentions.
In the end, the conversation was boring.
On the contrary, it was Gu Jinzhi who made the emperor not feel this way.
Being young also has its advantages, the emperor thought to himself.
I was young and saw little about the world. I retained the most natural innocence in my heart. I didn't know what the emperor meant, so I just regarded the emperor as an ordinary person.
Everyone will be able to look forward to Shu.
If the emperor were really asked to be an ordinary person, he would definitely not be willing to do so.
When he was the emperor and Gu Jinzhi regarded him as ordinary, he felt happy in his heart.
"...How young?" He stood next to the medicine stove and looked at Gu Jinzhi squatting to read the medicine. He asked her when she started studying medicine.
Gu Jinzhi said: When I was very young.
The emperor looked at her, she was only ten years old now, and couldn't help laughing, and asked how young she was when she was very young.
Gu Jinzhi thought about it seriously and said, "After I turn ten, and before I turn ten, I study in the kindergarten at home. Once I am ten years old, I am no longer wanted in the kindergarten, so I have to come back and study with my grandfather."
The emperor was slightly stunned.
He laughed: "How old are you now?"
"It's twelve, and it will be thirteen on August 15th this year." Gu Jinzhi said.
The emperor was surprised again and looked at her hard.
When he was still the prince, Concubine Tan and the late empress entered his prince's palace together. The two sisters had just turned thirteen. But at that time, the emperor did not think that they were young. At a glance, they were two concubines.
Ting is a charming woman.
Later, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Su, Guiren Dong and Guiren Lu all came to his house at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
There is no one like Gu Jinzhi...
So small.
like a child!
The emperor still thought she was under ten years old.
Gu Jinzhi finished the medicine stove and stood up. The emperor was next to her, and suddenly she felt a hairpin ring coming into view.
He didn't bow his head.
The top of Gu Jinzhi's head was actually within sight of the emperor.
The emperor is above average height.
Looking at it this way, Gu Jinzhi is quite tall!
The emperor couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gestured to her head. She was so tall that she could reach the base of the emperor's ears.
Among women, this is considered relatively tall?
Gu Jinzhi raised his eyes and looked at him in confusion.
The emperor smiled.
The eunuch outside came in and said it was time to go to court.
The emperor told Gu Jinzhi: "Take good care of the Queen Mother."
Gu Jin's way is.
The Queen Mother did not wake up until the first quarter of the morning.
After waking up, I washed myself, had breakfast, drank medicine, and then lay on the kang and talked to Gu Jinzhi.
She asked Gu Jinzhi if Jiangnan was really as interesting as the storyteller made it out to be?
"It's quite fun..." Gu Jinzhi said.
Although she didn't go out very often, Song Pan'er liked the excitement. Every time she came back from shopping, she would talk to the people around her for several days, and Gu Jinzhi was familiar with it.
She told the Empress Dowager about watching the lanterns during the Lantern Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, exploring spring during the Zhonghe Festival, outings during the Qingming Festival, visiting the water on the Shangsi River, returning to Ning on the 6th of the lunar calendar, begging for tricks on the Chinese Valentine's Day, appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and drinking tea around the fire in winter.
The Queen Mother was born in Kyoto. She had never been to the south of the Yangtze River and did not know any of these customs.
Gu Jinzhi's words were so detailed and interesting that she was actually stunned and let Gu Jinzhi talk for half the morning.
We had dinner together at noon and took a nap in the afternoon.
After getting up, he coughed twice, which frightened the Queen Mother and asked, "Has it happened again?"
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said: "Probably not. When I was sleeping, there was a kang in this room. The fire was stronger and my throat was a little dry, but it didn't bother me."
The Queen Mother was frightened and still had lingering fears.
Gu Jinzhi said: "The daughter of the people will take your pulse again."
The Queen Mother said hello and extended her hand to Gu Jinzhi.
After feeling the pulse, there was indeed no evidence of recurrence.
The Queen Mother was still uneasy, but after those few coughing noises did not recur, she felt relieved. In the afternoon, Gu Jinzhi told her about the customs and customs of Yanling Mansion until dinner time.
Two days later, the Queen Mother no longer coughed.
The emperor knew that it was good, so he asked Gu Jinzhi: "How long will the Queen Mother's medicine be used?"
"Take nine more doses, one dose a day, to strengthen and protect the liver, so that liver qi will no longer occur." Gu Jinzhi said.
Both the emperor and the queen mother trusted her very much and nodded.
Gu Jinzhi said from the beginning that after taking the medicine for seven days, the cough will stop. The result is not bad at all. She is different from other doctors. She can always confirm the specific medicine, and she is very accurate, and every dose is accurate.
.
This was one of the reasons why the emperor and the queen mother trusted her.
Although they still don't know where Gu Jinzhi's medical skills come from.
"The Queen Mother, Concubine Tan Guifei, Concubine Zhang and others all want to come to pay their respects to the Queen Mother." Seeing that the Queen Mother was well, the emperor said, "The second brother and the sixth brother also asked when they can come to visit the Queen Mother again. The eldest princes also
I wanted to come and say hello."
The emperor's first empress and Concubine Tan were twin sisters.
In the second year of the new emperor's reign, the late empress, who was already frail and sick, died of illness, leaving only the eldest prince alone.
It was originally planned to confer the title of empress in two years. Who would have known that half a year later, the empress dowager became seriously ill. All the trivial matters in the empress palace were delayed, and Concubine Tan was temporarily in charge of the sixth palace.
After the Queen Mother fell ill, she was in a bad mood and annoyed that someone was around her.
Those concubines and even the kings of Nanchang and Luyang who came all the way could only come and see each other on the first day of every lunar month.
It's not yet the first day of the new year.
The emperor was very happy, so he thought of family reunion and came to greet the queen mother.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "Zhong Lin and Zhong Jun haven't left yet?"
Nanchang Wang Zhonglin was not the Queen Mother's biological child, but was raised by the Queen Mother's side since childhood; Luyang Wang Zhongjun was the Queen Mother's second son, who had been foolish since he was a child.
The Queen Mother was ill, and after King Luyang entered the palace, she cried pitifully.
A thirteen-year-old prince, a seven-foot-tall man, cried like that. The queen mother was sad and heartbroken, and she was even more afraid that her son's reputation for stupidity would spread more and more. She was ill and had no energy to teach him anymore, so she had to ask the emperor to send them back.
The Queen Mother will come back after she recovers.
Who knew that these two brothers refused to leave.
In fact, why doesn’t the Queen Mother miss King Zhongjun of Luyang?
But I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the Queen Mother favored the King of Luyang. If the King of Luyang hadn't been stupid, she would have assisted him in ascending to the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
This is nonsense.
The Queen Mother was afraid that the emperor would persecute King Luyang if he believed it was true, so she held back her heartache, alienated King Luyang, and moved his fiefdom to Anhui, far away from the capital.
In this way, the emperor may have less concern for him.
The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. The Queen Mother loves both the emperor and King Luyang. But the royal family has no kindness since ancient times. If she is not careful, it will bring death to King Luyang.
Knowing that King Luyang was in the capital and missing her son very much, the Queen Mother only met him once as a routine matter.
"Not yet." The emperor replied with a smile, "Both of them said that they can return to their fiefdom with peace of mind after the queen mother recovers from her illness. Now they are living in their respective palaces. I have given them permission to return after the queen mother recovers."
The King of Nanchang and the King of Luyang both had residences in the capital.
The Queen Mother fell silent.
She didn't know whether the emperor was sincere or trying.
Because of those heart-wrenching rumors, the Queen Mother had to be careful.
She said cruelly: "The Ai family has recovered. Your Majesty sent someone to tell the King of Nanchang and the King of Luyang to let the two brothers go back! How can it be appropriate for a prince who has a fiefdom to live in the capital without a special edict? But they are...
What do the other princes think of the brother who is closest to the emperor? Send them away and set off back to the fiefdom today without any delay!"
The emperor's eyes flashed slightly and he said yes.
When the emperor left, the queen mother felt a little tired.
The royal mother's kindness and her son's filial piety must maintain a bottom line and balance.
Once anyone oversteps his bounds, he will be dealt with ruthlessly in the future.
The Queen Mother had to be careful.
Although the emperor kept asking the two princes to come into the palace, he was really relieved when he heard that the queen mother did not see them and sent them back to her fief.
Look, no matter how filial a son is, there will be times of temptation.
Gu Jinzhi looked at the Queen Mother and the Emperor, taking in their expressions, and then lowered her eyelids slightly. She seemed to have seen her previous life, and an inexplicable feeling of exhaustion came to her heart at night.
She knows how tiring it is.
The days passed slowly, and it was the first day of February.
It has been half a month since Gu Jinzhi entered the palace.
The Queen Mother's chronic cough syndrome has completely settled down.
Gu Jinzhi said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother has recovered and does not need the servant girl to serve her anymore. The servant girl wants to go home, and her cousin's wedding will be in a few days."
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, she was a little reluctant to let go of Gu Jinzhi.
After a pause, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "You have worked hard to serve the Ai family these days. The Ai family is still worried. How about you stay with the Ai family for two more days and go home on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"
Gu Jin's way is.
That evening, the emperor came to pay his respects, and the Queen Mother told the emperor what Gu Jinzhi wanted to go back.
"The Aijia promised to make her a princess after she cured the disease. There was no way she could break her promise." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Did the emperor issue the imperial edict, or did the Aijia issue the imperial edict?" xx105, Wen Quan
