Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 401 His Royal Highness Falls Ill (19 more)
The eldest prince Zhao Xi, who was always as hard as iron, fell ill.

Others may just regard it as an ordinary cold infection.

The servants of Qianqing Palace all know that His Highness was scolded yesterday when he came to see the Emperor.

They had never seen the emperor get so angry with His Royal Highness.

The sharpness of the words, as if he would not stop until he stomped the opponent hard.

A 14-year-old child, no matter how tough his heart is, he can withstand external criticism and various trials in a difficult environment, but he will never be able to withstand his biological father's vicious words that are comparable to a sharp knife.

……

The imperial doctor had already come to see him and prescribed a prescription. By noon, Zhao Xi's fever had subsided a lot, but he was still unconscious.

Concubine Qi rushed over after hearing the news, and when she saw her own son's face was burning abnormally red, lying there motionless, completely gone from his usual radiant appearance, she suddenly felt pain in her heart, liver and five internal organs, and her red eyes lay on the bed. Sitting down, he stroked Zhao Xi's forehead hair, and asked Wanqiu, "Could it be that the quilt was not covered properly at night, and you got cold?"

Last night His Highness didn't let anyone watch the night, and Pan Qiu couldn't answer this question, so he could only look at Eunuch Sanbao as if asking for help.

Eunuch Sanbao is the eunuch personally selected by Concubine Qi to serve Zhao Xi. When facing Concubine Qi, he was a little more calm than other palace people. He replied: "Madam, Your Highness went to see the emperor yesterday. Longyan was furious and scolded, the servant thought, the reason why His Highness fell ill is probably part of the reason here."

The people in Qianqing Palace didn't spread the news, and Concubine Qi didn't know about it for the time being, so she was stunned when she heard the words, "What? The emperor scolded His Highness?"

Mr. Sanbao's intentions were not only to scold, but also to scold very badly.

This was said by his adoptive father, Cui Gonggong, who worked as an errand in Qianqing Palace.

Concubine Qi was flustered, "Why does the emperor scold the eldest prince?"

Eunuch Sanbao shook his head.

In fact, his adoptive father had said the reason, but he had repeatedly warned him not to let it out.

With so many palace officials present, how could Eunuch Sanbao dare to speak out.

Concubine Qi's heart turned cold.

For a long time, because Emperor Guangxi had only such a son, although he was strict, his father's love remained undiminished, and he was never willing to say harsh words to him.

Now I don't know why, but I directly scolded him.

Does this mean that when you have a second child, you forget your first child?
Qi Guifei, who was always full of confidence, suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

She felt that she had to do something for her son.

Asking someone to take good care of the eldest prince, Concubine Qi took her own people out of Yutang Palace.

Gu Yu asked: "Is the imperial concubine going to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor?"

Concubine Qi shook her head, "No."

Gu Yu was puzzled, "Your Highness has been scolded, don't you plan to go to the emperor to plead for mercy?"

Concubine Qi kept walking, "Going to the emperor to intercede at such a time will not only not ease the relationship between their father and son, but will make the situation worse."

After a moment of silence, she said again: "A woman's mother in the Taoist Palace is valuable based on her son, but if the mother does nothing, how can the son's wealth and future come out of thin air?"

Gu Yu didn't understand too much, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just followed behind Qi Guifei.

Back at Xianfu Palace, Concubine Qi ordered colored cloth to be prepared as prayer flags.

Gu Yu probably understood that his master wanted to honor the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty is planning to take a roundabout tactic?"

Concubine Qi was noncommittal.

She discovered during the funeral in the palace that Emperor Guangxi had a very strong affection for his biological mother, otherwise he wouldn't have been languishing for such a long time because of the Queen Mother's death.

Since the Queen Mother is so important to him, let's just make a fuss about the Queen Mother.

For the sake of her son, the noble concubine Qi ate willingly.

The materials for making the prayer flags were prepared, she did not have a fake hand, she made them all by herself, and took them to the Shouan Palace the next day to pay homage to the soul of the Queen Mother who had just left.

This incident was told to Emperor Guangxi by the little maid staying at Shou'an Palace.

There is no doubt that Concubine Qi pinched it very accurately, and she touched Emperor Guangxi by doing so.

Thinking of the virtuousness and generosity of Concubine Qi, and thinking of how he had spoken harshly to his eldest son in a fit of anger, Emperor Guangxi felt remorse in his heart, and took advantage of Zhao Xi's illness to go to Yutang Palace in person.

The emperor's arrival shocked all the palace people in Yutang Palace.

Emperor Guangxi glanced around the crowd, his voice was cold, "How could your highness suddenly fall ill?"

Others may not understand what Emperor Guangxi was thinking. Father-in-law Sanbao is an old man in the palace. He immediately realized that the emperor wanted to find a place to go down. Closing the window caused cold wind to pour in, making His Majesty suffer from the cold."

"Trash!" Emperor Guangxi kicked him to the side, left the others outside, and took Eunuch Cui with his hands behind his back into the inner hall.

Zhao Xi's high fever subsided a lot, but it induced a cough. When Emperor Guangxi entered, he was covering his mouth and coughing dryly, which made people feel itchy throat.

Seeing the emperor coming in person, Zhao Xi threw off the brocade quilt and wanted to get out of bed to pay his respects.

Emperor Guangxi bent down to support him, "You're so sick, what's the use of being brave, lie down and rest quickly."

Zhao Xi had no choice but to lie down again.

Eunuch Cui moved a stool for Emperor Guangxi.

Emperor Guangxi sat down, looked at Zhao Xi's flushed face due to coughing, and asked him, "Whether the people under his hands are in your hands, why don't you tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let them call you again." gone."

Zhao Xi had already heard the voice of Eunuch Sanbao pleading guilty outside.

In fact, his father knew better than anyone why he suddenly fell ill.

It's just that, as the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year, how could he bow his head and admit his mistake?

Zhao Xi understood his father's temperament best, and if he was willing to visit him in person this time, he had put his attitude to the minimum.

No matter whether he is a prince or a son, he can no longer push forward, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Xi said: "They are all old people who have used it for several years. They have feelings. Occasionally, it is not a serious crime to neglect it. When someone has not made a mistake, there must be a chance for people to reform themselves."

A pun, it sounds like he is pleading for the father-in-law of Sanbao, but it actually implies that he will not take the scolding of Emperor Guangxi that day to heart, and family affection comes first.

Not only gave Emperor Guangxi enough face in front of others, but also eased the relationship between father and son invisibly.

Carrying water and washing vegetables kills two birds with one stone.

Emperor Guangxi admired this kind of smart people the most, even if the person lying in front of him was not his own son, this conversation alone was enough to make him look sideways.

What's more, Zhao Xiben was his own.

At some point, Emperor Guangxi could see his youthful shadow from Zhao Xi.

Reaching out to pat Zhao Xi's thin shoulder, Emperor Guangxi had a satisfied smile on his face, "Recover well, don't think too much about other things."

Zhao Xi nodded in response, but regretted it in his heart.

Even if the relationship between father and son froze for a while, even if he became ill like this, he could not change his father's prejudice against his uncle.

He didn't know what grievances and grievances existed between them in the previous generation, but he just felt that his father's attitude towards the Lu family was somewhat inexplicable.

……

After Emperor Guangxi went back, he asked Cui Fuquan to go to the treasury to pick up some rare medicinal materials and send them to Yutang Palace.

With the help of rare medicinal materials, Zhao Xi's condition quickly improved.

Although Concubine Qi didn't come, there wasn't a day when she didn't pay attention to the news here.

Knowing that the emperor visited the eldest prince in person, she knew that her efforts were not in vain.

When the news of Zhao Xi's recovery came from Yutang Palace, Concubine Qi tidied herself up and went to visit her son in high spirits.

Zhao Xi was no longer lying on the couch, and was sitting in front of the desk, holding a bamboo slip in his hand. The bamboo slip contained difficult classics, which took a lot of brainpower to read.

Concubine Qi walked over, took the bamboo slips from Zhao Xi's hand, and under the gaze of her son, she smiled and said: "Reading as soon as you regain your energy, you don't feel too tired to panic, listen to my concubine once, don't read it today , take a good rest, if you feel stuffy inside, go to the imperial garden and walk around to bask in the sun."

The bamboo slips were taken away, Zhao Xi changed the book binding, flipped through it casually, and said: "My son and minister are fine, mother and concubine don't have to worry about it."

Concubine Qi urged him not to move, pursing the corners of her mouth, "Xi'er, you won't be able to make Concubine Mother not worry like this."

Zhao Xi laughed, "Isn't my son always like this all these years?"

Concubine Qi is not good at pointing it out directly, and said with a hint: "You are not willing to relax, and it is a good thing to continuously improve your ability. The mother and concubine are proud of you, but you must be a qualified prince and even want to reach The position of the crown prince, you are far from enough."

Zhao Xi paused while flipping through the book, and said in a respectful tone, "I hope that my mother and concubine will not hesitate to teach me."

Concubine Qi said: "In addition to your own civil and military skills, you also need to learn one skill."

"What's the matter?"

"The ability to please your father."
