Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Spring came in the blink of an eye, and the He family was dead silent except for the crying of children.

Little Mrs. Mo pushed He Wenyan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, out to bask in the sun. He Wenyan's face was gray and pale, like an old man who was about to die, and he looked nothing like before.

He no longer yelled and screamed. Because he didn't eat meat due to mourning, he had lost a lot of weight, his whole body was hunched in a wheelchair, and half of his hair was white.

One time, when Mo Chenxi was walking through the front yard, she was startled to see He Wenyan. If he hadn't been sitting in a wheelchair, she wouldn't have recognized him.

She despised it. Even in this situation, he still let Xiao Mo serve him, and she was still in the mourning period.

Apart from Old Mrs. He who often came to the He family, outsiders would not visit a family in mourning. Apart from visiting, few people visited He Wenyan, and he did not have much social interaction before.

The old couple of the Mo family took a break to visit their daughter and her family. He Wenyan didn't say anything, so Mrs. Mo asked him to show his lower body and pushed him out.

After He Shanqiao moved out, the two brothers He Shanluo stayed at home to take care of their sick father, but in fact they copied books in the study every day.

As long as He Wenyan cannot get better, it is his son's responsibility to stay at home and take care of him.

Suddenly, one day someone came to the palace. It was the nanny beside the Queen Mother, whom Mo Chenxi knew.

It was said that the Queen Mother wanted to see Madam Xiaojie.

Mo Chenxi didn't know what was going on and hurriedly followed.

Who knew that he didn't go into the palace, but went directly outside the city.

Seeing that they were heading towards Shuangfeng Mountain, Mo Chenxi thought that the Queen Mother was at Wangjiazhuangzi.

Do you just want to chat with her?

No way, she is not yet to the extent of being the Queen Mother's best friend.

When she entered the Wang family farm, it was empty. The nanny who brought her was walking hurriedly. Another nanny came over with a panicked look. Mo Chenxi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the empress dowager was seriously ill?

That shouldn't happen in the manor, and she wouldn't be allowed to come.

If the Queen Mother is seriously ill, it will cause turmoil in the country. Why ask her to come here? What does it have to do with her?

Mo Chenxi's heart was in a knot as he followed the nanny into the yard, but there was still no one there.

When I entered the house, I heard a child crying.

Mo Chenxi's palms were sweating. Could it be that the little prince was sick?

Suddenly, she thought of smallpox.

Entering the inner room, I saw a nanny holding a baby, probably about one year old, who kept moving and crying.

The nanny who brought her here said to Mo Chenxi, "The young prince has contracted smallpox. The Empress Dowager has asked Madam to guard her here. Imperial Physician An will be here soon. Madam, please come and help."

The nanny knelt down in tears, and Mo Chenxi quickly reached out to support her.

"I will do my best, but I'll still have to rely on Doctor An for treatment."

The maid knelt down and kowtowed to her, "This old servant knows that Madam is not an ordinary person like us. The Empress Dowager said that the young prince depends entirely on Madam this time."

Mo Chenxi was at her wit's end, and she couldn't explain it to a nanny. She reached out and pulled the nanny up, "I'll do my best."

She was worried about her family and her children, but fortunately the He family was in mourning and she restricted their going out, so no one came to visit. Except for the servants, the He family members did not go out either, so the risk was reduced.

The worrying thing finally happened. If the prince could contract smallpox in the palace, what would happen to the people outside?

At that time, not many people received the smallpox vaccination in advance, and no children under the age of ten were vaccinated, including the children of the Mo and He families.

The little prince had smallpox, not smallpox, and the cure rate was very low.

Mo Chenxi thought of Kangxi. It was said that Kangxi had suffered from smallpox, so he had pockmarks on his face.

The reason why Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang chose Kangxi was because he had suffered from smallpox.

Thinking of this, Mo Chenxi gained confidence. If she didn't have confidence, she would have no choice. Everyone was already here, and fortunately there was Doctor An.

When Doctor An arrived, he frowned tightly. After a busy period, he met with Mo Chenxi alone and said, "The maids who come here have all been vaccinated last time. The palace is conducting a thorough investigation."

Mo Chenxi's heart skipped a beat again. This meant that Ming Tianhua was man-made and was targeting the little prince.

The three concubines all gave birth to princesses. What good would it do them to harm the little prince?

Unless they are pregnant again, make sure that the baby in their belly is still a prince.

Mo Chenxi didn't think about the palace fight. She didn't have the brains to figure it out, so she could only assist Doctor An.

Fortunately, the maids here have all been vaccinated against smallpox by the Empress Dowager, so there is no need to worry about infection.

Every day someone delivers vegetables, food and meat to the manor. Mo Chenxi comes here to treat the disease, and it is not her turn to take care of the little prince, so in order to have something to do, she cooks for these people in the manor.

She had never seen what the little prince looked like. On the first day, she only saw that the little prince's face was a little red and he kept scratching his face with his hands.

A long month passed, and she had no idea what was happening outside. Twice, Doctor An told her that both the He family's children and the Mo family's children were fine.

She felt relieved knowing that her family members were fine. Seeing that Doctor An didn't mention anything else, she consciously didn't ask anyone else. Asking would only embarrass them. At this critical juncture, he could tell her about the Mo and He families to reassure her. If she asked about the Zhao and Cao families, would she have to ask Doctor An to find out again?

The little prince was fine. Mo Chenxi saw the nanny carrying him out to bask in the sun, but he was still a little listless, and as expected, his face was full of pits.

It's a pity for Mo Chenxi. The emperor is not ugly, and the queen is certainly not ugly either. The little prince won't be ugly when he grows up. Maybe he will be quite handsome. Even if the pockmarks on his face can be removed a little in the future, they will still leave marks.

The pockmarks of smallpox are different from those of chickenpox. Smallpox leaves pits and bumps on the face, and there will be pits and bumps on the face after recovery. Chickenpox only leaves scars that cannot be seen after a long time.

Two months later, the little prince was fine except for being thinner. Mo Chenxi thought she should go back, but she didn't expect that the emperor and the queen mother would come in person.

The emperor noticed the dimples on the little prince's face and asked worriedly, "Will he still be like this when he grows up?"

The Queen Mother said, "No, it will only leave some dark scars. When your royal grandfather was in the Imperial Academy, there was a priest who had smallpox as a child."

The emperor was relieved after hearing this. Being able to pass the imperial examination meant that his face was not disfigured, otherwise he would have been rejected as a student.

A man would rather hold his grandchildren than his children, let alone the emperor, and there are outsiders present.

So the emperor did not look at his son closely.

The Queen Mother asked the nanny to carry the little prince away and said to Mo Chenxi, "Thank you for your time, but I will have to trouble you again next time."

Mo Chenxi thought to herself that this was not good. Could it be that she was asked to follow the little prince back to the palace?

She was unwilling to be a teacher to the little prince, not to mention that her level was not even enough to be a nanny.

"Before coming here, I went to Shuangfeng Temple. The emperor's grandson cannot return to the palace for the time being. He will have to wait until he is three years old. I ask Madam Xiaojie to accompany the emperor's grandson."

Mo Chenxi first breathed a sigh of relief, as she was not going to have to go to the palace. But then she became worried again, wondering if she had to stay here any longer?

So what about her family?

The emperor said solemnly: "This time, it is thanks to the prescription presented by Madam Xiaojie, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. I hereby confer upon Madam Xiaojie the title of First Rank Imperial Consort Xiaojiexian."

Mo Chenxi was stunned.

Madam Xiaojie is of the fifth rank, and adding the word "xian" will make her the first rank?

Once when she entered the palace, Queen Mother Wang mentioned that there was once a woman whose filial piety moved heaven and earth and she was named Lady Xiaojie and Virtuous. Concubine Ji said, "Our dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, and the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. We will definitely have a Lady Xiaojie and Virtuous."

Is it because the fifth rank qualifications are not enough to serve the little prince?
