MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 48
On the day when Empress Niuhulu died, the Forbidden City had the last snow for seventeen years.
The young Kangxi Emperor once again lost his wife, and he was saddened. However, he was born a man and has been an emperor for many years. He could only tolerate his weakness for a moment in front of the Niuhulu family's Zigong. After leaving the funeral palace, he was a majestic emperor again.
The deceased will be taken away forever by time, and the living will continue to live.
Most low-ranking concubines have a flattering look on their faces no matter what they think in their hearts, but those concubines who have children, good family backgrounds, or dote on, She has enough confidence, and her respect for her is very limited and does not reach her heart.
So in the eyes of the imperial concubine Tong Jiashi, even if she is satisfied in the palace now, she is both favored and powerful, the name of this imperial concubine is always a bit misnamed compared to the queen Unspeakable.
And she never gave birth, which is the second.
At the end of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the concubine Wu Ya gave birth to a son, just when the concubine Tong Jia was in a ill health, Kangxi had the intention to send this son to the concubine to raise, so he discussed with the empress dowager .
The Empress Dowager was noncommittal, and instead asked: "Ai Jia heard that your pregnant concubine Nara was shocked in the imperial garden a few days ago? Are you alright?"
Kangxi replied: "I have some fetal gas, and now I am in bed."
"Where's Jin Chan? The people who serve you are not careful, and it takes a day to find out that she is suffering from heat stroke."
Aisin Gioro Jinchan, the third daughter of Kangxi, was born to Ma Jia, the concubine of Rongxi. She is six years old this year and has always been in good health.
Kangxi didn't keep both of his daughters before, so he still loved this actual eldest daughter, and repeatedly remembered that she had suffered, and was distressed and angry, "Those who made slaves have already Sent to the Department of Penalties."
"Emperor." The Empress Dowager said calmly, "When Empress Renxiao and Empress Xiaozhao were in charge of the palace, nothing like that ever happened. Rong Xin, who was beside the Prince, was in charge of palace affairs for two years. No palace servant dared to blatantly take care of the prince and princess."
"This..." Kangxi quickly understood what his grandmother meant and sighed, "Tong Jia's is indeed negligent in this matter, but she is weak, so it is inevitable that she is not well."
At this time, the empress dowager who did not evade suddenly said: "No matter how weak, can Empress Xiaozhao be weak when she is sick?" Isn't Tong Jiashi, who is often sick, still alive and well...
The Empress Dowager and Kangxi both looked at her, and the Empress Dowager closed her mouth again and said nothing.
And the Empress Dowager said: "If she can't handle her health, she will assign the palace affairs to a few Rong Concubines and Hui Concubines. No matter how bad it is, the Aijia is still there."
The Empress Dowager is over sixty years old, how could Kangxi teach her to work harder? La's Associate."
The Empress Dowager's brows still did not stretch, "Empress Renxiao laid the foundation for standardizing the harem system, and Empress Xiaozhao upholds the aspirations of Empress Renxiao to consolidate the harem system. It stands to reason that this harem affair is a bit cumbersome. , but it shouldn't be difficult to manage according to the rules, Tong Jiashi... It's still a little worse after all."
"Too Queen."
Regarding the words of the Empress Dowager, Kangxi said seriously: "The grandson understands that the concubines and concubines in the palace are difficult to convince the public, so the grandson has no plans for the future."
"The emperor knows what he has in mind."
And the son of Wu Ya was adopted by the noble concubine Tong Jia, and the empress dowager did not say anything, and obviously did not care about it.
Then, after the child's full moon, even though Wu Ya was sad, the prince named Yinzhen by Kangxi was still carried to Chengqian Palace and raised by the noble concubine Tong Jia.
Rong Xin doesn't care about these things in the harem, because the prince Yinren has acne.
The only thing she has done for so many years that is in line with her previous life is that not long after Nemin entered the palace, with the help of her mother Ding's ancestral home in the south, it seems that there are people in Jiangnan in advance The method of acne vaccination.
She does things very carefully. She hinted to her mother several times when she was a child, and then waited for the right time to say it.
Ding's temperament didn't think deeply at all, so when Kangxi sent someone to ask her, she only remembered that she had heard these words, but she couldn't say the source.
Kangxi suffered from smallpox when he was young and was cured, not as passive as Emperor Shunzhi was to smallpox, but has been actively looking for ways to cure acne.
Since this is said, the imperial physicians can vaguely see one or two from the classics, Kangxi sent people to Jiangnan to inquire, and sure enough, it was found that the Ming Dynasty had already related to this vaccination method According to records, there are also doctors in Jiangnan who have been using this method, but it has not been popularized.
In the early years, Kangxi set up an acne clinic in the Imperial Hospital and invited the doctor back to the capital. The imperial physicians studied this method with him for many years. In addition, Kangxi's acne treatment method in his childhood has already Quite effective.
So although the prince's acne is a little critical, the imperial doctors are still calm.
But even so, Kangxi's beloved son decided to stop the court for 12 days, and all the memorials were sent to the cabinet. He was prepared to accompany the prince wholeheartedly.
Smallpox is highly contagious. When the prince has acne, he must be isolated from others. Rong Xin quickly arranged the matter at hand, and was ready to accompany the prince through the critical period of acne.
"Rong Xin, should I accompany His Royal Highness the Prince? You never had acne when you were young. I'm old, so it doesn't matter if you get infected." Qi Momo said this, Without the slightest hesitation, she was really willing to die for the prince.
Rong Xin quickly packed up a few happy clothes for herself, and said: "Mom, I accept your kindness, but I promised my mother that I will always accompany you no matter what. Prince, so please stop arguing with me."
"But..." Mother Qi knew about Rong Xin and knew that it was useless for others to say what she had decided, so she could only sigh, her brows filled with worry.
Rong Xin saw this and persuaded: "The imperial physician has cured many people suffering from smallpox, and has also studied a lot of protective measures, really don't need to worry too much, besides, there are two more The palace servants who have suffered from acne are waiting, and I don't need to do anything."
However, no matter what she said, people nowadays are just talking about things, so everyone admires that Rong Xin is so determined to take care of the prince.
Rong Xin is not 100% sure that she will not be infected, but even if Kangxi is with her, she is afraid that the prince will be afraid, so she must do it regardless of the outcome.
And she entered the prince's warm pavilion. Seeing that the prince's face was red and drowsy, she took a soft cotton mask from her carry-on package and put it lightly on the prince's head.
When Kangxi and the imperial physician came in, they saw what she was wearing on the prince's face, and immediately frowned and asked, "Rong Xin, what are you doing?"
Rong Xin was well prepared and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, the servant is worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally scratched his face, in case the scar will affect his appearance."
Kangxi had some scars when he was young, but when he grew up, it gradually disappeared. Hearing what she said, he looked at the imperial doctor and asked: "What she said, Does it make sense?"
The imperial doctor thought for a moment and respectfully replied: "Reporting to the emperor, covering your face will not hinder the condition, and it must be useful to prevent scarring."
Kangxi didn't say anything when he heard it.
Rong Xin did not stand by the kang to disturb the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the prince, and went to the stove to get the Chinese medicine water she had prepared in advance, washed the handkerchief with the two palace servants, and put the bedroom in the bedroom. Rub it inside and out.
At this time, the imperial physician prescribed a good prescription, and while people followed the prescription to get the medicine back, he sniffed and said: "Astragalus, Chuanxiong, Angelica."
Rong Xin, still holding the handkerchief in his hand, nodded and said, "I saw that these medicines would be boiled in the maternity pavilion to prevent maternal infection, so I asked an imperial doctor, you see, but Need something extra?"
The imperial doctor who diagnoses and treats the prince is the top medical doctor in the imperial hospital, and after listening to Rong Xin's words, he only said: "There is no hindrance, if the female officer Rong wants to cook, she can cook it."
When he said this, it seemed that it was useless for her to do it like this, so Rong Xin asked again, "What about peppercorns and salt water?"
"Do not cook in the house, and do not touch His Highness."
After hearing this, Rong Xin said, "Forget it, I'll still cook Astragalus, Chuanxiong and Angelica."
The medicine was brought back, naturally it was impossible for Kangxi to boil the medicine, so Rong Xin sat outside and guarded the medicine pot.
"Rong Xin."
Rong Xin heard Kangxi call her, and immediately walked in with the medicine, seeing that the prince was about to reach out to touch his face, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, be careful, otherwise I will have to take your hand too. on the package."
Kangxi lowered his head and noticed Baocheng's movements, grabbed his two hands gently, and said, "Baocheng, don't touch, be careful to leave scars."
Baocheng nodded obediently, then looked at Rong Xin, his voice was a little dull because of the mask, "Aunt, why are you here, if it's contagious..."
After he said that, there was even a choked voice in his voice.
Rong Xin saw this and coaxed: "If Your Highness is worried, just drink the medicine and get better soon."
Kangxi released Baocheng's hand, hugged him and sat on the soft pillow, then said to Rong Xin, "Give me the medicine."
Rong Xin immediately offered the medicine, and then when Kangxi fed the prince to drink the medicine, she walked to the place where the prince could see and stood and looked at him quietly.
Chinese medicine is bitter, but Baocheng is only five years old, but he has no complaints and gulps down the whole bowl of medicine.
There are two masters and three servants in the crown prince's bedroom. Kangxi will not go back to the bedroom until night to sleep. Water served for meals.
He breathed a sigh of relief, wishing he would not come tomorrow.
At the end of Xu Shimo, the prince woke up again.
