Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The Forbidden City under the setting sun, as if covered in blood-colored light, everything is so red. 』⒉3 Under the vermilion palace wall, eunuchs and palace maids pass by from time to time. In front of the Meridian Gate, the guards stood there as straight as before. Everything was so quiet, only the occasional flock of pigeons hummed over Miyagi.

Chengqian Palace, not far from Kunning Palace, is the residence of the imperial concubine Dong E. Compared with Kunning Palace, Yongcheng Qian Palace is more quiet, because the hostess of this palace is in a coma.

"Is it getting dark?"

After an unknown amount of time, Concubine Dong E on the sickbed suddenly opened her eyes. Her voice was weak, but the maids who served her could hear it very clearly.

"The maiden is awake, the maiden is awake!"

The palace maids cried out happily, and they surrounded the noble concubine and the concubine, talking at length, as if the master had rewarded him with money for the Chinese New Year today.

"Miss, are you feeling better?"

"Niangniang, what do you want to eat, the servant will go to the imperial kitchen to pass it on."

"The newly opened prescription in the Tai Hospital really works!"

"..."

The palace maids were chattering, but they forgot that Empress had just woken up. Will their noisy voice make Empress uncomfortable.

"Don't make a fuss, Niangniang just woke up, how can I stand up to your commotion."

Dong E's personal maid Baozhu whispered to the palace maids, and the palace maids were so frightened that no one dared to speak.

"It's okay..." Dong E's mouth showed a smile, motioning for Baozhu to help her up.

"Is it dark? So fast."

Seeing that the sky was getting dark outside, Dong E was a little low for no reason. Seeing Baozhu, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her master put on her clothes, and signaled to the other palace maids to turn on the lamps ahead of time. After a few bright candles were lit, the room suddenly lit up.

After sitting there for a while, Dong E instructed Baozhu: "Go and fetch my qin."

"Miss?"

Baozhu didn't want to pick up the piano, because the empress had just woken up and her body was very weak, so how could she still have the energy to play the piano. The imperial doctor has warned me in every possible way that the imperial concubine must not be saddened any more.

"Go."

Dong E said lightly, but his expression was very determined. Baozhu did not dare not to listen, so she had to fetch the guqin, which was the mother's beloved. After the qin was picked up, it was placed on the quilt in front of Dong E. The body of the qin was polished and the strings were spotless.

Dong E stretched out her blue-veined pair of hands and caressed the strings lightly. Suddenly, she plucked the strings, and a mournful sound suddenly sounded.

The sound of the piano was very sad, the empress's appearance was even more haggard, Baozhu's eyes were red, and the palace maids couldn't help crying.

"Bah!"

Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped, but it was Dong E, who was awake from a serious illness, unable to control his strength and plucked one of the strings of the piano. As soon as the strings were broken, the maids saw blood flowing from the corners of the concubine's mouth.

"Miss!"

Baozhu cried and stepped forward and put the guqin aside, and asked the empress to lie down quickly, and stop working so hard.

"I'm fine."

Dong E held the white handkerchief in his hands, and there was a mass of blood in the middle of the white handkerchief.

"Your Majesty he..."

Dong E looked at the pearl and hesitated. Baozhu choked and wanted to say that the emperor was still in Xishan and had not come back, but she heard the voice of the palace maid Zhener outside the house.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, the emperor has returned to the palace!"

Zhener ran in shouting like a child, and brought good news to Chengqian Palace, and also to the imperial concubine, the long-awaited good news—the emperor has returned to the palace.

"Has the emperor returned to the palace?"

Dong E's eyes lit up, his body trembled slightly, and two red glows appeared on his pale face.

"Niangniang, the emperor is really back!"

Before Zhen'er's voice fell, Dong E heard a familiar voice, "Concubine Ai, I'm here to see you." Then, she saw a familiar figure appear in front of her.

"Aifei!"

Shunzhi was very uncomfortable. He didn't expect that Dong E's condition would be so serious that he had been away from Beijing for a few months. For a time, he, who was the emperor, also had red eyes.

"emperor!"

Dong E cried with joy, tears falling from his cheeks like beads with broken strings.

"Don't cry, don't cry! Cry again, and I will cry!"

Shunzhi stepped forward and grabbed Dong E in a single step. At this moment, he felt extremely guilty. After crying for a while in her husband's arms, Dong E suddenly struggled and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't greeted you with my concubine for a long time. Please, Your Majesty, take a seat and bow to your concubine!"

"I don't want you to worship!"

Shunzhi hugged the woman he loved tightly, and was unwilling to let go. Dong E bit his lip, and a dimple appeared on his thin cheek. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world, even if she was about to die, she would be willing.

..........

The news of the emperor's return to the palace quickly spread throughout the entire palace. The Queen's Kunning Palace knew it, and so did the Queen Mother's Cining Palace. The Kunning Palace had no complaints about the emperor's rush to the Chengqian Palace as soon as he returned to the palace, but the Cining Palace was somewhat depressed.

"The slave reported the name of the meal to the Queen Mother!"

The **** on duty in the imperial dining room bowed his waist and said in a low voice, "Two dishes in a big bowl: bird's nest 'Fu' character three fresh fat chicken..."

But before the report was finished, the queen mother waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, it's not the same. It's just late, I have to put this table, I've seen enough, where's the appetite? Take it away. "

"The queen mother, the servants should die, the servants are useless, I beg the queen mother for mercy." The old **** was so frightened that he lay on the ground and shivered.

"I didn't say punishment, what kind of favor? Step back!" The queen mother leaned against the couch, squinting her eyes, looking tired and tired.

"The queen mother, I have to eat some food anyway. The slave will give you a small bowl of bird's nest and eight immortals soup to try?"

Su Mala Gu reached for the spoon, but was stopped by the Queen Mother shaking her head. Seeing this, Su Ma thought for a while and said, "Would you like this servant to get some snacks for you to try?"

The queen mother glanced at Su Ma, couldn't bear to shake her mind, and nodded slightly. Su Ma hurriedly got up and went to prepare, and after a while, a large tray was brought from the next door, with a few side dishes, two large bowls with lids and two dishes of dim sum.

"Queen Mother, this bowl contains bird's nest winter bamboo shoots black chicken ginseng soup, which is very nourishing. You can drink more."

Su Ma opened a large gaiwan, gently swiped away the oil slick with a spoon, spooned a large bowl of clear soup, and carefully held it in front of the Queen Mother.

"Well, very light."

The queen mother nodded while blowing and drinking. In this palace, only Su Ma knew her taste best and knew her best. If it wasn't for Su Ma's insistence on staying with her for a long time, she would have married Su Ma's handsome Baylor.

After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, the queen mother put down the bowl, thinking of her son, she was still a little unhappy: "The emperor will go to Dong'a when he returns to the palace. He doesn't care about my mother at all."

Su Ma smiled and said: "The queen mother, there is no mother who competes with her daughter-in-law for her son in this world~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After hearing her say this, the queen mother also laughed, and also, why does my mother still care about her son running to him? Daughter in law.

"As soon as Dunbai entered the capital, the group of people were all honest, and there was no decent person to lead the way, so they could make trouble. But this time we underestimated the emperor. He is very assertive." The queen mother said leisurely.

Su Ma said: "The Six Flags can be suppressed, but some things can't be delayed."

"It's too late."

The queen mother sighed, took out the book that Fan Wencheng had brought to the palace a few days earlier, and told Su Ma: "Take this book to the emperor, and tell him, my queen mother has no opinion. Right now we can't. Don't change a little bit, just stick to the things of the past... This is a recipe, it's accurate, the Han people can change the law and become stronger, and the Manchus can do the same."
