Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

The winter in the capital seems to be very long. In May of the following year, the weather gradually warmed up. After a few rains, the dead branches gradually grew green, which added a bit of spring to the view from a distance.Jing Xuan finally ended the state of being a cat in winter at home, changed into spring clothes, and changed from a fluffy ball to a boy again.

Jingxuan woke up early this day, planning to go to Xiaoquan Mountain with Wei Zhen to see how the Zhuangzi's repairs are going.Although the winter in the capital is very cold, the soil is so hard that it is not suitable for any construction work, but because of the hot springs on Koizumi Mountain, there is no such problem, so the cold winter did not hinder Zhuangzi's construction.

Although it rained all night last night, today is a sunny day. There are still traces of undried rain on the ground. The soil in the garden is moist and soft, and the branches and buds on the trees seem to have pulled out a lot. A gust of spring breeze blows, bringing The unique smell of grass and trees after the rain makes people feel happy.

In such a fine weather, it would be a pity not to ride a horse, so Jing Xuan didn't ask someone to prepare a carriage, and rode with Wei Zhen to Xiaoquan Mountain.Along the way, with the warm wind blowing on his face, Jing Xuan narrowed his eyes comfortably, and felt a lot more relaxed.

Who knew that just halfway there, people from the capital came over on fast horses, and the news came from the palace that Concubine Shun had given birth prematurely, and now the mobilization had begun.After hearing the news, Jingxuan and Wei Zhen didn't feel like going to Zhuangzi, so they hurriedly turned their horses and rushed back to the capital to enter the palace.

The atmosphere in the palace is already very tense, Shun's concubine's pregnancy is not good, she is young, and this pregnancy is still twins, it is easy to start early, the imperial doctor in the palace racked his brains to give her a miscarriage, the effect is But it is not satisfactory.

When Jingxuan entered the palace, both the emperor and the emperor had already arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Since Concubine Shun entered the palace, she was taken to the Palace of Compassion and Peace by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother did not shy away from blood in the delivery room. I have been looking forward to giving birth to a grandchild for many years, and I finally hoped for a concubine Shun. The queen mother has forgotten all opportunities, and must ensure that concubine Shun is safe.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, Pian Shun's concubine is twins, and her pregnancy is not good, so she activated it in advance, but the Queen Mother was so anxious that she could not rest, if it wasn't for the crowd to stop her, according to her temper, she would have rushed to Went to the delivery room.

The emperor is also like an ant on a hot pot, this is his old man, can he not care?As for the emperor, compared to the worried appearances of the empress dowager and the emperor, he was the calmest, sitting on the side as firmly as Mount Tai, and there was nothing unusual on his face.

When Jingxuan arrived at the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager scolded the Emperor angrily: "In the past, you didn't like those women in the palace, but you brought this back from the people yourself, why are you so careless?" ? Since she entered the palace, you haven't seen her in the Palace of Compassion and Ning. The imperial doctor said that this child's worry is more serious than that of a dragon's womb, and I think it's because of your neglect."

The emperor glanced at the embarrassing emperor at the side, and said nothing, and let the queen mother scold him. When she saw Jing Xuan coming, the queen mother stopped talking and blamed the palace man next to her: "Why do you still disturb Jing Xuan? He's a child, how can he see this, is he really confused?"

Jing Xuan went to support the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "You forgot, I have learned medical skills from my husband since I was a child, so I can help anyway. Don't worry too much."

When the queen saw Jing Xuan, she still had the same worried look on her face as before, but she was really uncomfortable in her heart.Compared to Lin Jingxuan's pride, their Yan family has become very embarrassed.

The emperor didn't say anything about his affection. After reprimanding his niece Huan and their Yan family in front of civil and military officials at the grand meeting, not only Huan's reputation was bad, but the entire Yan family's daughter Reputation has been implicated.

Sister Huan was wrong, but it wasn't like that.It's fine for the emperor to favor Lin Jingxuan so much, why bother to praise Lin Jingxuan by stepping on their Yan family's face?One day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace, she is also a dignified queen after all, and the Yan family is also the residence of the Marquis of Cheng'en. The emperor's half-clear reticence really makes it hard for the queen to let go, and it also makes her dislike Jingxuan even more.

But on such an occasion, not only could she not show the slightest emotion, but she continued to pretend to be kind as usual, which made the queen vomit blood even more.

After a day and a night of tossing, if it wasn't for the pills brought by Jingxuan, Concubine Shun would have fainted long ago. Finally, there was an exclamation from Mrs. Wen in the room, and the Queen Mother stood up all of a sudden, nervously At the door, at this moment, a loud cry of a baby came from the room, and the expressions on everyone's faces relaxed.

However, when the dignified Mrs. Wen came out holding the two children, everyone's expressions froze.Two children, one was wailing and kicking his hands and feet vigorously, he looked like a strong child at first glance; but the other had a purple complexion, and was weak even to breathe, let alone cry, with his eyes closed as if It seemed that he was going to die in the next second.

Both are boys, although they are twins, but the contrast is worlds apart. Before the Queen Mother could recover from the joy of having two grandchildren at once, she was overwhelmed by this thin, small and extremely fragile child. The child's whole heart was seized.

Wen Po didn't dare to show a pleasing look on her face. They were relieved to see this strong big prince, and they were happily waiting to receive the reward later, but they waited for the little prince to give birth. When they came out, their mood of waiting for the reward disappeared, leaving only apprehension.Being so thin and weak, I am afraid that he will die in a few days. This is very unlucky, let alone waiting for rewards, just hope that he will not be punished.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother saw this thin child, her complexion suddenly became gloomy. The little prince's face was so purple, it can be seen that he had been in the mother's body for a long time. There was a sound of exclamation, and the lady Wen who stayed inside staggered to the door: "The Empress Dowager, the blood of the concubine Shun collapsed..."

The empress dowager didn't care about getting angry, saving people is the most important thing right now. The old doctor Huang, who is best at acupuncture in the imperial hospital, came out after a quarter of an hour, sighing and shaking her head: "My concubine Shun is too hurt, empress dowager, excuse me There is nothing you can do."

At this time, the palace maid next to Concubine Shun came out, and after saluting to the Queen Mother and others, she whispered: "Your Majesty wants to see Mr. Lin."

Concubine Shun was lying on the bed weakly, her hair was already wet with sweat, her face was pale and without a trace of blood, when she saw Jing Xuan, her eyes were pleading.

"Eldest son, I'm useless, but my child..." Concubine Shun said intermittently, saying that he couldn't lift it up here, so he gasped.

But Jing Xuan understood what she meant, she was worried about that thin child.With a serious expression on his face, Jing Xuan said, "Have you forgotten that my husband and I rescued the little girl from Brother Wang's family back then? She was a bit more dangerous than the little prince at that time."

Concubine Shun had tears in her eyes and there was a hint of expectation: "I remember, so Eldest Young Master, I beg you, you must save him. It's me, a useless mother, that caused him to suffer such a serious injury when he was born." Sin." Speaking of this, Concubine Shun didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Jing Xuan's hand.

"Don't worry." Knowing that she was coming back, Jing Xuan held his hand reassuringly, and gave her a solemn promise.

After hearing this, Concubine Shun's eyes instantly burst into joy, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but the hand holding Jing Xuan gradually lost strength, and within a few breaths, all the maids in the room fell to their knees all over the place.

Jing Xuan stood up slowly, walked to the door, looked at the purple-faced little prince in Granny Wen's hands, and stretched out his hand to Granny Wen.

Wen Po didn't want to let go at first, but seeing that the emperor and the empress dowager had no objection, she handed the child to Jing Xuan tremblingly.Don't look at Jing Xuan himself is a half-grown child, but he looks good when he picks up a child.These years, he has studied medicine with Mr. Wu and lived next to the pharmacy. He is not just talking on paper, but is often brought by Mr. Wu to treat the common people.

"It's not uncommon to have twins. It's like planting two seeds in a flower pot. One grows well, but the other is more difficult. In addition, the eldest prince is too big, and it took a lot of time to come out." , That's what led to this." After Jing Xuan frowned, the Wen women couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they were very grateful to Jing Xuan in their hearts.

They really tried their best, but the eldest prince is too big, and the amniotic fluid will run out before he can barely come out. If it is slower, the little prince may be suffocated to death, but how dare they say that? explain?If it wasn't for Jing Xuan's outspoken words, they could only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

The Empress Dowager sighed, in fact, she could understand it too, but looking at this poor little child, and thinking about the dead Concubine Shun, she was so full of anger that she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only rush at it with an evil fire. Follow these stable women to go.

"Although the little prince was born weak, he will be fine if he takes good care of him." Jing Xuan then gave the queen mother another reassurance. After hearing this, the queen mother finally calmed down a little.

"really?"

Jing Xuan nodded: "My husband and I also treated a child like this back then, so I'm somewhat sure." On the second brother, Concubine Shun saw Jing Xuan and Wu Xi rescue a baby who was considered unbearable by everyone.

Even if the queen mother gave the order, all the staff of the imperial hospital cooperated with Jing Xuan. The imperial doctors got the order, not only did not hate Jing Xuan for taking their jobs, but they all breathed a sigh of relief. The little prince looked like this, but they No one is sure in their hearts that they can take care of them properly. It is a good thing for them that Jing Xuan took on this errand. Naturally, they will do their best to cooperate with Jing Xuan.

When the two princes are full moon, the eldest prince can eat and sleep and you will look fat and white, but the little prince still looks yellow and emaciated.However, the two princes are very worry-free children, they don't cry all the time, the little prince is especially clingy to Jing Xuan, and he doesn't cry even when Jing Xuan gives him medicinal baths, acupuncture, and medicine.

Jing Xuan stayed in the palace to do his best to take care of the sick little prince, while Wei Zhen went to Sichuan to find Wu Xi. After all, the situation of the little prince is really dangerous, and it is more reassuring to have Mr. Wu in charge.

The time spent on the road and looking for Mr. Wu was not short. When Wei Zhen found Wu Xi and the two returned to the capital, it was already early autumn again.After hearing the news of Wu Xi's return, Huan Qian had been waiting eagerly for a long time, and after making Wu Xi nod and agree to live in the palace temporarily, Huan Qian threw the errands of the household department to the two servants, and he became an old man again. Wu Xi's follower.

Wu Xi was noncommittal to his behavior, and let him go, but he wanted to go one step further, but he absolutely couldn't.

Hearing Jingxuan's methods of taking care of the little prince, combined with the current situation of the little prince, Wu Xi nodded with satisfaction, and said very gratified: "You have done a good job, even if I do it, I will not do better than you. alright."

"Seeing that the weather is about to cool down, the climate in central Beijing is not suitable for the little prince to recuperate, but if he goes to the south, the little prince is too weak to bear the long journey. I want to take him to the hot spring village, but I don't know. Sir, do you think this method is feasible?" Jing Xuan thought about this for a long time, but she was only worried that the hot spring had a pungent smell after all, and that the little prince would not be able to bear it, so she asked Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu thought for a while: "Taking advantage of the good weather, why don't you take the little prince there to stay for a while, as long as he adapts well, it's fine."

Jing Xuan nodded, and went to talk to the emperor about it.The emperor originally wanted the two princes to get close to Jing Xuan when they were children, so he did not object to Jing Xuan taking the little prince out of the palace.

Although Xiaoquanshan also has Huangzhuang, there are so many people and miscellaneous Jingxuan that it is uncomfortable to live in. It is better to be comfortable in your own Zhuangzi.

Now that Zhuangzi has been completed, Jingxuan took time to visit several times during the period. He was very satisfied with the results of the craftsmen and sealed a large reward.Huan Qian, who came back to this Zhuangzi for the first time, couldn't help sighing repeatedly after seeing the scene here: "It's really a rare and wonderful person who can come up with such a Zhuangzi. I am convinced." The man went back and ordered that he didn't even go back to the palace, and followed Wu Xi to live in this village.

The Zhuangzi of Jingxuan is naturally not comparable to Huangzhuang in terms of magnificence, and it is not comparable to the neighbors around it in terms of elegance and handsomeness. It doesn't catch people's eyes and ears, but it makes people feel relaxed and comfortable in their hearts, and they feel a little relaxed for no reason.If you take a closer look, you will find that this seemingly innocuous Zhuangzi, every plant, tree, house and pavilion are all rare treasures.

The extent of his wealth and power made Huan Qian, a dignified prince, dumbfounded.All in all, he was in charge of the household department during the debt repayment turmoil, and he saw a lot of good things when collecting and repaying the repayment, but this time he was shocked by Zhuangzi Jingxuan, and the exquisiteness of this Zhuangzi can be seen .

Zhuangzi gained popularity for the first time after he was repaired. The little prince who was worried by everyone also adapted well this time, staring eagerly at the hot spring pool with his big round eyes.There was no crying at all because of the unique smell of hot springs, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

When the first snow fell in winter, the little prince finally grew some flesh, his complexion was no longer so sallow and sallow, which made people worry, and his body became stronger, but he was even more clinging to Jingxuan.It was probably the first time he saw snow in his life. When he got up early in the morning, the little prince showed his desire to go outside, grabbed Jing Xuan's clothes, and babbled and looked outside.

Stared at by his big wet eyes, Jing Xuan felt that he really couldn't resist the little baby's wish.The winter clothes specially made for the little prince have been cut and delivered. This set of clothes is completely a miniature version of those of Jing Xuan. After wearing them for the little doll, the whole body becomes a round ball of hair, covering most of the small face. , only showing big round eyes, looking more and more like a fluffy animal.

When the emperor came to Zhuangzi, he just walked to the door of the inner courtyard when he heard a distant sound of the piano. Looking inside, he saw the door was wide open and everyone was watching the snow on the porch.Wu Xi concentrated on playing the guqin, while Jing Xuan sat beside him in a silver-gray fur cloak, holding the little prince who was also wrapped in a ball of pure white fur in his arms, and the two of them were looking at the yard with great interest.

In the yard, Wei Zhen and Huan Qian didn't feel the cold at all, they were squatting on the ground with their sleeves rolled up, piling up the snow into various shapes, while Heizi and Little Firefox were sitting next to them in the snow. Watching the crowd frolicking, covered in white snow, seemed even more interesting.

Standing in place, the emperor watched them having fun in the yard, but he didn't want to go in and disturb them. In the end, the little animals found the stranger and ran towards the gate of the yard, which alarmed everyone.

The little prince raised his head and looked at the emperor with his fluffy hat on; the emperor lowered his head and looked at the little prince with a serious face.Probably because he had never seen this stranger before, the little prince looked at him for a while, then turned his head to Jing Xuan, buried his whole little head in Jing Xuan's fluffy cloak, and pointed his little butt at the emperor.

The emperor's face froze. He had no experience in dealing with little babies in his life. The eldest prince in the palace was now being raised by the empress dowager's side. The empress made indirect suggestions several times to raise the eldest prince herself, but the emperor refused.When he went to the Compassionate Palace to pay his respects, the emperor would often see the Eldest Prince. The Eldest Prince was white and fat, several times bigger than the little one in front of him, and he was not afraid of strangers. , It's completely different from the little one in front of him who is pointing his butt at him.

But inexplicably, it is always difficult for him to maintain his pitiful patience towards that "eldest son" who is not afraid of life.But seeing this strange little one holding his butt towards him today, not only did he not feel annoyed, but he also felt an indescribable intimacy.

The emperor himself also felt baffled, but he still couldn't help asking: "Can I touch his head?"

As soon as he said this, the corners of Yu Hua's mouth twitched. Is this the wise and serious emperor he sees every day?Even Wu Xi's piano sound paused.

Even the little prince buried his head in Jing Xuan's chest as if he could understand what adults said.

Jing Xuan held back his laughter, and replied very seriously: "It's not right now, little Qiu is afraid of strangers, uncle, you have to play with him for a while, and wait until he gets to know you."

"Little ball?" Because the two princes are still young, and the little prince's body is particularly thin, and the two little princes have not been named yet, the eldest prince in the palace called in sequence. But Bian gave the little prince a nickname.Although the name "Little Ball" is not very elegant, the emperor looked at the little prince who was wrapped in a ball of fluffy white fur, and thought in his heart that this nickname was quite good.

Therefore, the emperor who originally planned to come and see the little prince and then go back to the palace to deal with political affairs, spent a whole day in Jingxuan's hot spring village, until the sun was a little westward, and he still failed to get the little prince to ask for help. Hugging the emperor, decisively decided to temporarily stay in Jingxuan's hot spring village today.

Yu Hua's face was already numb after watching the serious emperor use all kinds of methods to tease the little prince all day, and now after hearing this order, she didn't show any expression of losing her composure.

The emperor felt that before the next court meeting, he would definitely get his wish and embrace the little ball.
