she has golden eyes

Chapter 37 The Queen Mother
Empress Shen's expression softened slightly, and she ordered the midwife to clean and wrap the child, but she didn't intend to show it to the Crown Princess, she just said indifferently:
"You just gave birth, rest well, I will take the baby to Kunning Palace to take care of it, and we will talk about it when you recover."

Mei Xue stood by the bed with downcast eyes, and from the corner of her eyes, she could clearly see the tears of the Crown Princess bursting instantly.

Empress Shen ordered someone to hold the child, and a group of people left in a huff.

Li Jinyu comforted the princess with red eyes, Mei Xue sighed in her heart, and said to Li Jinyu:
"Your Highness, I need to sew up your mother's wound, please avoid it for a while."

Li Jinyu went out in a hurry, Jiang Nanny went to the door and ordered someone to prepare anesthesia soup, and then called for someone to prepare a change of clothes and bed quilt for the princess.

Even after taking the decoction, when the wound was being stitched up, the princess was still trembling with pain.

After Mei Xue finished her work, she put away her needle and thread, looked up at the princess who was bleeding from her lips but kept silent, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

In this world, how many people who are not selfish or vicious have easy lives?

A woman as noble as the princess did not even have the chance to see her own son.

Mei Xue turned around and was about to leave, but the Crown Princess suddenly stopped her with a trembling voice and said:

"Miss Mei, thank you for saving me."

Mei Xue turned her head to look at this pale woman, and after a long time she nodded with difficulty and said:
"Your Majesty, you are welcome, the most important thing is to take good care of your body."

If there were not so many expensive medicinal materials hanging around, and so many imperial physicians and midwives serving, even if she came an hour or two earlier, the crown princess, mother and child would not be able to survive.

However, the princess's body was too damaged during this delivery, and it will be difficult to conceive in the future, let alone her basic health.

As for the more serious consequences, Mei Xue couldn't even bear to think about it at this moment.

"Miss Mei, I want to ask you, my... my child, is he..."

Mei Xue looked at the face full of tears, and pursed her lips sadly.

The Crown Princess is a smart woman, and she probably already sensed something abnormal.

The child is not thin, nor is he small, but the crying is really too weak.

After a long silence, Mei Xue looked at the expectant Princess Concubine and Mother Jiang, smiled and said casually:

"Young grandson is in good health, so don't worry about it. You are the mother of three children. Only by taking good care of your health can you take good care of your children."

Motherless children are pitiful, especially these children of noble birth, as adults' bargaining chips for power and profit, without the care of their biological mothers, which one is not close to death?
Jiang Momo broke down in tears for a moment, hugged the princess and choked up and said:
"Your Majesty, did you hear, Miss Mei said it's all right, don't be afraid!"

Mei Xue sighed in her heart, and lowered her eyes out of the bedroom in the apse.

Behind her was the low cry of Nanny Jiang and the Crown Princess, and a nanny from the Eastern Palace came to lead Mei Xue to wash and change clothes.

From the waist to the corners of the pink skirt, the color gradually deepened, and even the shoes were the same pink color.

The nurse who served Mei Xue to comb her hair said respectfully in a low voice:

"This is Princess Chenyang's previous dress. The Empress sent someone to wear it for the girl."

Mei Xue just nodded lightly, remembering that Empress Shen wanted to kill her just now, she couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth again.

Li Jinzhi had been waiting in the main hall, and when he saw Mei Xue coming out, he felt relieved and stood up with a smile.

The East Palace is still quite a distance from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, where the Empress Dowager lived, and Li Jinyu arranged for Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue to go there in sedan chairs.

After thanking Mei Xue solemnly, he said to Li Jinzhi:
"Jinzhi, you are not in good health. You are tired today. After seeing the emperor's grandmother, you should go back to your residence early to rest."

Li Jinzhi nodded, bid farewell to Li Jinyu and left the East Palace.

But he didn't want to, he met Empress Shen's Fengjia not far away.

At this moment, Empress Shen seemed to be a different person, with a warm smile, she avoided Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue's salute, and waved to Mei Xue again:

"Good boy, come here and talk to Ben Gong."

Mei Xue raised her head and looked at Empress Shen, who was on Feng Yu's shoulders. The sun was shining brightly. This noble woman was smiling very kindly at this moment.

But half an hour ago, this woman almost killed her.

Mei Xue smiled in her heart, thanked Empress Shen, and supported the palace man's hand on Feng Huo.

Empress Shen has worked so hard until now, and she has to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace again, which only shows that the old emperor will definitely appear there.

Li Jinzhi's sedan chair followed unhurriedly.

Empress Shen glanced over Mei Xue, and said with a smile:
"What a good boy, he's good-looking and capable. No wonder the Qiao family hates you so much."

Song Zhijie had told Mei Xue about the fact that Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan went to Empress Shen to plead guilty.

Shen Qingyang should have all the evidence soon.

But Queen Shen still wanted to test her.

Mei Xue smiled lightly, lowered her eyebrows and replied submissively:

"Master Meng Qiao fell in love with Mrs. Yan wrongly, and the daughter of the people is very grateful. If Miss Qiao is alive in heaven, knowing that her parents have planned for her like this, I will feel deeply comforted when I think about it."

It's a plan, a calculation, not a thought.

Empress Shen laughed, looked deeply at Mei Xue with her slender eyes, patted her with her plump and fair right hand and said:

"I understand, I won't let you be wronged!"

"Minister, thank you for your compassion."

Mei Xue raised her face and smiled gratefully at Empress Shen.

In the depths of the eyes, the cold chill that was originally there has long since disappeared.

As expected, Emperor Ming De was in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, sitting beside the Empress Dowager Jing'an's bed and talking.

Wearing bright yellow uniforms and black dragon-patterned boots, he is tall and thin. Viewed from the side, he has the suave and romantic look of ordinary celebrities.

But when he turned his face to look over, the innate majesty rushed over his face.

Empress Shen bowed her knees to salute Emperor Mingde, Mei Xue knelt down to salute, and Li Jinzhi also knelt down beside her.

Emperor Mingde ignored Mei Xue and only said to Li Jinzhi:
"Jinzhi, get up, are you feeling better?"

Li Jinzhi didn't stand up, but kowtowed to Emperor Mingde again and replied:

"Uncle Xie Huang misses you, my nephew is much better now."

Empress Shen pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly to Emperor Mingde:

"Your Majesty, there is still a kneeling child. If you don't let her get up, how can Jinzhi be willing?"

Mei Xue lowered her head, she couldn't see Emperor Mingde's expression, she just waited for a while before hearing Emperor Mingde asked her in a cold voice:
"Old Yan Ge is kneeling outside the Meridian Gate to plead guilty because of you, do you know?"

Mei Xue guessed what happened in an instant, so she calmly lowered her eyes and replied:

"Return to Your Majesty, the girl entered the palace early this morning, and she doesn't know what happened outside."

If she has the ability that Emperor Mingde said, it at least shows that someone in this palace is working for her and Li Jinzhi.

This alone is enough to punish them.

Empress Shen laughed again, and said to Emperor Mingde:
"Your Majesty, when the old lady of the Yan family pleaded guilty, she may have made a mistake when she said that they miss their daughters eagerly.

In any case, this child has a good skill, and it was thanks to her just now. "

While talking, he turned his face and smiled and said to Empress Dowager Jing'an:

"Queen, Jinyu's son is very cute. I'll bring it here for you to see after the nurse finishes feeding him."

Emperor Mingde had obviously been informed about the matter in the East Palace long ago. He didn't answer Empress Shen's words, but he finally said:

"Get up, both of you!"

Mei Xue followed Li Jinzhi up and stood behind him, looking carefully at Emperor Ming De through the just-right gap.

Empress Dowager Jing'an was talking to Li Jinzhi, but her eyes were very empty. Only then did Mei Xue realize that she seemed invisible.

Li Jinzhi had never mentioned this to her, presumably the Empress Dowager Jing'an had been blind for a long time, and everyone had gotten used to it.

"What about that child, come here and let Ai's family take a look."

Mei Xue raised her head, seeing Empress Shen smiling at her, she hurriedly bowed her head and walked over.

Empress Dowager Jing'an tremblingly touched Mei Xue's face, and sighed:

"The Ai family likes these flower-like children. At the beginning, the princess and Chen Yang loved to wear pink skirts and walked around the Ai family all day long.

It's a pity that they are all grown up now, married, and Ai's eyes are gone. "

Empress Dowager Jing'an's voice was full of sadness, Li Jinzhi smiled, comforted her softly and said:
"Grandmother, it is a happy event for the concubine's sister-in-law to give birth, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a while. Aunt Chenyang will come back to Beijing to see you this year."

The Queen Mother's own daughter is only Princess Chenyang. After getting married, she went to Qingzhou with her husband and son-in-law, and only returned to Luoyang once in a few years.

The queen mother was even more sad, she shook her head with a wry smile and said:
"The Ai family doesn't want your Aunt Chenyang to come back. Every time she sees Ai's family like this, she always has to cry uncomfortably."

Empress Shen hurriedly smoothed things over with a smile and said:

"Empress, sister Chen Yang has been away from Beijing for many years. Your majesty and daughter-in-law are looking forward to it day and night. It's hard to see my sister soon. Why did you talk about this child?"

The empress dowager's eyes were red, she looked around blankly and said:

"The Ai family knows that you and the emperor are filial children. With you here, the Ai family is not worried about children like Jin Zhi and Chen Yang."

This is clearly a plea.

Li Jinzhi stood with downcast eyes, still with a gentle smile on his face.
