Chapter 149 Grief for the Dead
Princess Atu didn't expect that the imperial concubine would reject her just as soon as she spoke.
Ming Xuan looked at Princess Atu who was looking at her coldly, the smile on her face remained undiminished, without any timidity at all.
As long as Kangxi does not issue a clear order, she dares to reject all attempts to seduce women into Yuqing Palace.
"Has the imperial concubine heard the story of Prince Liu Rong?" Princess Atu stared at Mingxuan, hesitated for a while, and asked.
Ming Xuan was amused by this example, she had studied Prince Liu Shi, and as for Liu Rong... Hehe, Kangxi is not blind.
"The princess really made me laugh, I don't even know how to comment? Could it be that the result of the golden house is a good one?" Ming Xuan couldn't hold back her spray.
Are the princesses of the Qing Dynasty comparable to those of the Han Dynasty?Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty practiced discord.
Princess Atu was visible to the naked eye, and her face turned red. Just when she was about to speak harshly, Aunt Su Ma came and said that the Empress Dowager wanted to see the princess, so she took her away.
Mingxuan didn't tell Kangxi about this matter, now that the empress dowager's body is like that, it wouldn't do much good if this matter broke out, Kangxi didn't even want a Mongolian woman himself, so why would he give the crown prince a favor?
But Mingxuan called the prince over in a cryptic manner, and roughly talked about the disadvantages of close relatives, such as Concubine Tong, Nalan Rongruo and his Fujin...
Yinreng nodded after being confused, and comforted Mingxuan again and again, he will pay attention to it in the future.Told Mingxuan, this matter cannot be brought up now.
Ming Xuan is not stupid, Tong Guifei is still alive!Even if she fell out of favor, but Xiao Wuya was moved out of Chengqian Palace, even though she was pregnant and had no status, it was enough to understand that the emperor still cared about this cousin.
Although Mingxuan did not file a complaint about Princess Atu, the Empress Dowager still knew about it. After scolding Princess Atu severely, she gave her great-granddaughter a marriage without any troubles.
The angry Princess Atu had another dispute with the Empress Dowager, and left the palace in grief and indignation.
Knowing the reason for Princess Atu's departure, Kangxi became even more nervous towards the Empress Dowager. He not only went to see her every day, but also asked all the concubines to take turns to serve her sick.
He even told Ming Xuan privately to let her go over and take care of her more often.
Ming Xuan also had a good impression of the old lady's decisiveness, so naturally she would not refuse.
After such an encounter, the Empress Dowager felt that Mingxuan didn't take care of her at all, so she didn't say anything about letting her go back.
The Empress Dowager was not in good health, Kangxi didn't work hard at anything, and Yinfeng didn't even want to celebrate his own birthday, so he came to accompany the Empress Dowager when he was free.
After Mingxuan watched the originally powerful Empress Dowager gradually weaken, she also felt strange in her heart. She drew a picture and prepared to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a wheelchair, and pushed her out every day.
In fact, seeing the Empress Dowager like this, Mingxuan suddenly felt that it was not so important to live to 99, the key was health, as long as she was healthy, 98 was fine.
Mingxuan has a lot of requirements, light and stable, and effortless...
Looking at the many requirements marked by Mingxuan, Ling Pu really didn't even have a temper and didn't talk too much. He just said he would do his best and took the drawings out.
There are quite a few people who serve the Empress Dowager, but in terms of sincerity, the Empress Dowager can still feel it. Aunt Su Ma is one, and so is Ming Xuan...
When the wheelchair was first made, Ming Xuan asked someone to build a plank on the threshold of the Compassionate Palace, and then ordered two burly palace servants to push the wheelchair, while she walked beside her and joked with the old lady.
"This chair is well made. Among the common people, there are people with disabilities..." Kangxi saw the Empress Dowager smiling and asked Mingxuan to insert a small red flower in her ear, so he said with a smile.
But Mingxuan shook her head, touched the handrail and said, "I still need to improve it! The brakes are not very sensitive, and they are a bit clumsy... The concubine only gave five taels of silver as a reward for them to continue to work hard. The emperor can't...no Refute the face of the concubine."
Kangxi nodded, and personally pushed the Empress Dowager for a while, and then asked someone to send Mingxuan 50 taels of gold, saying that it was to make up for the loss of the imperial concubine.
Ming Xuanhao accepted it bluntly.
"Huang Mama, you said that if I give 100 taels of silver, will the emperor give me 1000 taels of gold?" Ming Xuan even asked the Empress Dowager happily.
The Empress Dowager shook her head with a smile and asked her to try.
"Forget it! How can I try such a good thing like dropping money from the sky? If the emperor doesn't give it, wouldn't I still lose 100 taels?" Ming Xuan refused to use this to try.
"..." The Empress Dowager sighed, did not speak, just looked at the scenery outside in a good mood, felt the fragrance of flowers, and closed her eyes with a smile.
After getting a wheelchair, Mingxuan would take her out almost every day as long as the weather was fine.
He took her to see his own strawberry garden, and personally picked the biggest and hottest ones for her to eat.
He took her to see his tomatoes that were about to ripen, and even wrote her blessings and pasted them on the green apples.
He also took her to watch the dogs run, to pick peaches in the Qianqiu Pavilion, to watch the elder brother practice martial arts, to watch the prince study, and to watch the princes and princesses attend classes...
……
What Mingxuan took the Empress Dowager to do, what to see... Kangxi knew it in his heart, and would accompany him occasionally.
The Empress Dowager looked at Ming Xuan with a softer expression, and more and more smiles on her face.When a person is about to die, she feels very comfortable with such a sincere person by her side.
"That's the way it is in life, Xuan Ye, you don't have to be too sad. I have nothing to regret in my life." Even after the imperial doctor said that he was not well, seeing Kangxi's eyes turned red, the empress dowager Still smiling and comforting.
Kangxi couldn't hold back, his eyes turned red, and he was speechless.
"Everyone wants to live a long life, but how many people can do it?" The Empress Dowager asked again.
Mingxuan nodded, and echoed, "I have thought about it too, but I feel that I can't do it, so I only dare to dream of living to 99 years old."
The Empress Dowager paused, glared at her, and then couldn't help laughing.
"What the concubine said is true, if you don't believe me, ask the prince later, the prince's goal for the emperor is 99 years old, and the goal for the concubine is [-]!" Mingxuan continued.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Do you want to live like an old monster? I'm only in my 70s, and now my teeth are not working properly, and I feel uncomfortable when I hit my body. If I live to 99, do you want to lie down and live?"
"It's hard to live such a rich life in this life, and you can earn money lying down!" Ming Xuan couldn't say that she lived to 99 in good health, but only agreed.
The Empress Dowager laughed so hard that tears came out, she pointed at Ming Xuan and said that she was useless.
With Mingxuan's interruption, Kangxi felt much better, and he followed the empress dowager to train Mingxuan.
Being disgusted from head to toe, Ming Xuan was also drunk, and they stopped after repeatedly expressing that she was going to be hurt internally.
Taking advantage of the time when Kangxi was talking to the Empress Dowager, Mingxuan said she wanted to go back to the palace to wash up and ran away.
After taking a luxurious bath, I was surrounded by four or five palace maids, some who brushed their hair, those who manicured their nails, and those who massaged and rubbed their feet.
Ming Xuan let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and said in a self-indulgent way: "It's so comfortable, I should really live to 99."
Kangxi, who was standing at the door, didn't even notice, turned around and left.
Liang Jiugong followed Kangxi, then whispered something to the little apprentice, and then let Kangxi also enjoy the same bath and massage package.
"It's really comfortable!" Kangxi couldn't help but sigh when the palace servants helped Kangxi press his shoulders, neck and back.Speaking of enjoyment, as an emperor, I don't even have my own imperial concubine!
The palace staff and the imperial physicians took care of her meticulously, Ming Xuan and the others coaxed and teased her every day, and the Empress Dowager was always in good spirits.
Unexpectedly, one day in mid-December, the first snow had just fallen, and Ming Xuan was driven back to the palace by the Empress Dowager to rest because she was a little uncomfortable.
As a result, on the second night, when he heard the news that the Empress Dowager had fallen ill, he hurried over with the stove in his arms.
The Empress Dowager has been taken care of very well for the past six months. When Mingxuan took her out, as long as it was windy, she put on a mask for her regardless of her objections.
But last night she didn't know what happened, she had to go to the Buddhist hall to sit for a while, and then she had a fever in the middle of the night when she came back.
As we all know, the second day of the little life was the most painful time, and it wasn't the pain, but the large amount was uncomfortable. Ming Xuan leaned on Ulan's body weakly, listening to Kangxi swearing.
"Thank you, Mammy." Aunt Su Ma came over, brought Ming Xuan a bowl of warm milk tea with red eyes, and Ming Xuan hurriedly took it.
After Kangxi finished scolding, he paused when he saw Mingxuan, and asked someone to move a chair for her.
There was a cotton pad on the chair, so Ming Xuan didn't refuse, and sat on it directly.
Frail and typhoid, the Empress Dowager never recovered this time.
No matter how sad Kangxi was, no matter how sad Yinfeng was crying, he finally went.
Before leaving, the Empress Dowager divided her private house for many years into three parts, one part was given to Ming Xuan, one part was given to the crown prince, and the rest was divided equally among the existing princes and princesses in the palace.
"The concubine has everything. The emperor has always been very generous to the concubine. Don't worry, Mama Mama, the concubine will definitely do what she promised you. Leave a few of these things for the concubine to think about, and the rest Give it all to the children who will be born again in the palace in the future!"
One-third of the empress dowager's private house...Mingxuan didn't need to turn her head to know what the concubines were envious of. She directly pressed Yinfeng and refused.
"Stupid girl!" The Empress Dowager pulled the corners of her lips, looked at Mingxuan, and said to Kangxi in a blink of an eye, "This girl... is stupid and straightforward, take care of her..."
Kangxi nodded, begging the Empress Dowager to take care with red eyes.
"I'm tired, you Khan Ama is waiting for me...Xuanye, you have to be good, and make sure...the Qing Dynasty..."
Before the words finished, the Empress Dowager left, Mingxuan was a little dazed when she heard the crying all over the room, but it was Liang Jiugong who suddenly crawled up to Mingxuan's side, pinched her arm, and shouted: "Your Majesty, take care! "
Ming Xuan realized that she did not know when tears were streaming down her face.
The severe pain in her arm made Mingxuan twitch, and she burst into tears, looking like she was about to collapse, as if she was going to faint in the next moment...
Liang Jiugong heaved a sigh of relief, and all the concubines in the room were crying like rain, wailing endlessly, but the imperial concubine knelt down and wept silently.
Looking at the emperor's eyes, there is something wrong, and looking at him doesn't even bother to offend directly.
"Auntie, you..." Yinreng also cried uncontrollably, but when he heard Mingxuan's crying, he still wanted to comfort her.
As a result, Mingxuan's arm was so painful that she couldn't lift it up, and while crying, she used her uninjured hand to pull Yinzhen over and stuffed her into Yinrong's arms, making the two brothers hug each other and cry.
In Kangxi's grief, when he turned around and saw Mingxuan who was crying without image and was about to suffocate, Baocheng and Xiaosi who were cuddling together and weeping, and the beautiful concubine who was crying and screaming behind him, he immediately started scolding up.
As we all know, Kangxi's mouth can spray, and Kangxi in sadness can spray even more!
Up to Concubine Tong, down to Xiao Wuya, even the little Wuya who had a full stomach was trembling because he was scolding for not kneeling properly...
