Chapter 350 Songzhi, have I gained weight?
Chapter 350 Songzhi, have I gained weight?
The servants and masters in the room knelt on the ground and said, "Welcome to the Queen Mother."
Aunt Zhuxi supported the Queen Mother and hurried to the bedside.
"Emperor..." The Queen Mother's eyes were already attractive, and now they revealed a concern that was even more attractive. Although she felt that a disaster was about to happen, Concubine Hua despised how her focus would still be diverted.
She is worthy of being the champion of the palace fight last year. She is still a beauty even when she is old.
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor lying on the bed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
On the way here, I heard Zhuxi give a general idea of the situation.
He is already old, but he still thinks of himself as a young man of 17 or 18.
The Queen had previously heard that Ling Xiang, even though she was several months pregnant, had seduced the Emperor into acting without restraint, which had already displeased the Queen Mother. Now, she had injured her waist in the Yikun Palace, which had made the Queen Mother even more dissatisfied.
The empress dowager heard the news brought by the eunuch sent by Su Peisheng late at night, so she got up and went to Yiku Palace overnight. She couldn't help but complain about the emperor in the sedan chair.
"Your Majesty is very similar to the late emperor in that he has no sense of propriety when it comes to beauties."
No matter how much she complained, the empress dowager still felt distressed when she saw her son lying on the bed looking so uncomfortable.
"How do the people below serve you?!" Unable to teach the emperor a lesson, the empress dowager could only point the finger at the servants below her.
The Empress Dowager was well aware of how innocent the servants below were.
"I know my guilt! I know my guilt! I know my guilt!" The slaves who were already kneeling lowered their heads even lower.
The Queen Mother turned her gaze to Concubine Hua. Although Concubine Hua was not petite, she was still slender. Her frame was a little big, but not that big...
The Queen Mother didn't want to think about what had just happened in Yiku Palace. Her son was truly useless.
"Concubine Hua is too impetuous. You should stop serving the Emperor in the near future." The Queen Mother suppressed her dissatisfaction and told Concubine Hua her decision.
It just so happened that the Nian family was in the limelight in the previous dynasty recently. If the emperor continued to indulge Hua Fei, the Nian family would be the only one in power in the previous dynasty and the harem would also be boosted by Hua Fei's arrogance. The empress dowager felt that her move was very good.
"Yes, I know I was wrong." Hua Fei lowered her head and agreed.
It is true that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly.
Concubine Hua felt her shoulders relax a lot.
"Concubine Hui is dignified and steady, so let her take care of him." The Queen Mother went on to say that Concubine Hua was sometimes too unstable when vying for favor.
He doesn't know how to act properly.
"Yes." Su Peisheng, the eunuch beside the emperor, responded.
"Imperial Physician, how is the Emperor doing? Will he be able to attend court tomorrow?"
Jiang Cheng took a step forward on his knees and replied to the empress dowager, saying that the acupuncture had already been performed and it would take a few hours, so it should not delay the court session.
When the Queen Mother heard Jiang Cheng's answer, she felt relieved.
"My son has made the Empress Dowager worried." The Emperor said this a little embarrassedly after the Empress Dowager's outburst.
The Queen Mother seemed to join in the conversation, but seemed to ignore the Emperor and continued:
"It is not a good idea for the emperor to lie down in the Yikun Palace like this. Go and bring the stretcher and send the emperor back to the Yangxin Palace."
Hua Fei: That’s great, I have a bed to sleep on tonight.
Hua Fei and the palace servants kept their tails between their legs along the way, carefully carrying the "stretcher" and the two big Buddha statues of the Queen Mother. She shook her shoulders and let out a long breath.
By the time the gate of Yikun Palace was closed, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Everyone had been worried all night, and now they were so excited that they had a headache, but their eyelids were drooping.
Songzhi waited for Concubine Hua to rest, and the other servants kept watch some of the time, and rested some of the time.
The emperor fell in the Yiku Palace. Such explosive news will surely be widely circulated in the court and the harem tomorrow, but even if it is a storm, it will happen tomorrow.
Concubine Hua decided not to worry about it for now.
Songzhi waited on the empress and helped her soak her feet in hot water. At this moment, the master and servant were chatting by the bed.
"Your Majesty, you also fell. You were so busy taking the emperor's pulse just now that you didn't say anything, but it's still important." Songzhi asked.
If she were to say, the emperor was already very old, but he was really careless and still thought he was an eighteen-year-old young man.
It would have been fine if he had just sprained his waist, but he also caused the Empress to fall on her butt, and made the Empress Dowager unhappy with the Empress. It was really bad luck.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a stutter. It will be fine in a few days." Hua Fei lay down.
Fortunately, the mattress is soft enough. Now my tailbone still hurts a little when I lie flat like this.
"Songzhi, have I gained weight?" Concubine Hua was still upset about the fall just now, so she asked.
"Your Majesty has a slim figure, why do you say that?" Songzhi said.
"You're right. It's too late today. Let's go to sleep." Hua Fei suppressed the trace of self-doubt in her mind, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
This night was too exhausting.
The next morning, when Concubine Hua was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, she felt that the fall last night did seem to hurt a little, maybe there was a bruise.
When they arrived at Jingren Palace, Concubine Hua sat down carefully, and just as she did so, she heard the Queen say, "Concubine Hua, I heard that the Emperor and you accidentally fell in Yikun Palace last night. Is there anything wrong?"
"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am fine."
"Empress Hua is worthy of being the most beautiful lady in the six palaces. She made such a big fuss while serving the emperor in bed. I heard that it even alarmed the Empress Dowager. Fortunately, the Emperor is blessed with great fortune, so nothing serious happened. If there really was any accident, Empress Hua would have to feel guilty for the rest of her life." Concubine Li said a few words with a sour look on her face.
Concubine Hua is usually well-fed in the deep palace, eating a steady diet of delicacies from land and sea, and her body is plump and beautiful. Now that she has made such a big mistake as a servant to the emperor, she has only been stripped of her green card and has not received any punishment at all. It is really unfair.
"The Emperor was in a good mood last night and played a joke on me. It's possible that something unexpected happened. Now even the Emperor doesn't blame me. What qualifications do you have to point fingers at me, Lipin?"
"I was only stripped of my green card, but the Queen Mother did not strip me of my power to assist the six palaces. You are just a concubine, and you dare to commit a crime of disrespect. Do you want me to punish you for disrespect?"
Hua Fei just glanced at Lipin coldly, and Lipin felt a chill on her back.
"Okay, Lipin, you should stop talking." The Queen jumped out to smooth things over at the critical moment, "Sisters, please be cautious when serving the Emperor. The Emperor's health should be the most important thing."
"Your servants will follow the Queen's instructions!" The Queen spoke sternly, and no one went up to make trouble.
"By the way, Concubine Hua, I haven't congratulated you yet. Your brother and nephew have made great contributions in the previous dynasty. I heard that the emperor plans to reward the Nian family this time. This morning, I went to visit the emperor, and the emperor also said that your position should be promoted."
