Chapter 078 Companionship
The Empress Dowager's cough gradually stopped.
After taking the medicine on the sixth day, I stopped coughing day and night.
The emperor praised Gu Jinzhi several times.
The Empress Dowager also pulled her, so she didn't stop Qionglao Hall and let her rest in Kunning Palace.
Every day before the Empress Dowager goes to bed, Gu Jinzhi has to rub her palms and feet.
So, she slept very sweetly every night.
The Empress Dowager said to the emperor, "The emperor doesn't have to get up for four days in the future. Sleep one more time, and go to court at the beginning of the fifth watch. I have slept well these days. When the emperor goes up and down, I can't wake up..."
The tone was full of lightness and pleasure, and he also took Gu Jinzhi's hand sitting next to her.
Except for his younger brother Zhong Jun when he was a child, the emperor had never seen his mother love anyone like this.
He is also happy, yes.
But for more than a year, I got used to the fourth watch. When the time came, I woke up and couldn't sleep. The emperor dressed up, had breakfast, and then went to Kunning Palace.
The Empress Dowager didn't wake up, but Gu Jinzhi got up to boil the medicine.
The emperor said a few words to her.
Although she answered respectfully, the emperor could not feel the trembling or carefulness he usually heard. Unconsciously, he also spoke casually.
He felt very relaxed when chatting with Gu Jinzhi.
It is very difficult for the emperor to chat easily.
He wants to be approachable, but others will not forget that he is high and lives in the world. The closer he is, the more others will guess his deep intentions.
In the end, the conversation was boring.
On the contrary, it was Gu Jinzhi, which made the emperor not feel this way.
Young age also has the benefits of being young, the emperor thought.
He is young and doesn't pay much to the world. He keeps the most natural innocence in his heart. He doesn't know what the emperor means, so he only treats the emperor as an ordinary person.
Everyone will have to look at Shu.
If you really want the emperor to be an ordinary person, he must not want to.
When he was the son of heaven, but Gu Jinzhi regarded him as ordinary, he was actually happy.
"...how small?" He stood by the medicine stove, watched Gu Jinzhi squatting to see the medicine, and asked her when she began to study medicine.
Gu Jinzhi said that when he was very young.
The emperor looked at her, and now that she was only a teenager, he couldn't help laughing and asked how young she was when she was very young.
Gu Jinzhi thought about it seriously and said, "After the age of ten. Before I was ten years old, I studied at home. When I was ten years old, I didn't want me in kindergarten, so I had to come back and study with my grandfather.
The emperor was slightly stunned.
He laughed: "How old are you now?"
"It's full of twelve, and it's thirteen on August 15 this year." Gu Jin's way.
The emperor was surprised again and looked at her fiercely.
When he was the crown prince, Tan Guifei and the former empress entered his crown prince's mansion together, and both of the sisters had just turned thirteen. But at that time, the emperor did not feel that they were young. At a glance, they were two charming women.
Later, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Su, Dong Guiren and Lu Guiren all came to his house at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
There is no one like Gu Jinzhi...
It's so small.
Like a child!
The emperor thought she was less than ten years old.
Gu Jinzhi finished the medicine stove and stood up. The emperor was next to her, and suddenly he felt a hairpin in his eyes.
He didn't bow his head.
Gu Jinzhi's head can actually reach the emperor's sight.
The emperor is above average height.
Looking at it this way, Gu Jinzhi is quite tall!
The emperor couldn't help stretching out his hand and drawing on her head, and the man could reach the root of the emperor's ear.
Among women, this is relatively high?
Gu Jinzhi raised his eyes and looked at him puzzledly.
The emperor smiled.
The eunuch outside came in and said that it was time to go to court.
The emperor told Gu Jinzhi: "Take good care of the empress dowager."
Gu Jin's way is.
The Empress Dowager didn't wake up until the first moment of the month.
After waking up, I washed up, had breakfast, drank medicine, and lay on the bed to talk to Gu Jinzhi.
She asked Gu Jinzhi, is Jiangnan really as interesting and funny as a storyteller?
"It's good fun..." Gu Jin's way.
Although she doesn't go out much, Song Pan'er likes to be lively. Every time I come back, I have to read it with the people around me for a few days. Gu Jinzhi is familiar with it.
She told the Empress Dowager about the Lantern Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhonghe Spring Exploration, Qingming outing, Shangsi Linshui, Liulu Guining, Qixi Qiqiao, Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation, winter stove tea tasting, etc.
The Empress Dowager is from Kyoto. She has never been to the south of the Yangtze River, and she doesn't know these customs.
Gu Jinzhi said it in detail and interestingly. She was stunned to hear it and let Gu Jinzhi speak for half a morning.
We had lunch together and slept in the afternoon.
After getting up, she coughed twice, which shocked the Empress Dowager and asked, "Is it repeated?"
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "It shouldn't be. When I fell asleep, there was a kang in the room. I was a little angry and my throat was a little dry. It didn't matter.
The Empress Dowager was scared and still had a lingering fear.
Gu Jinzhi said, "The folk girl will take your pulse again."
The Empress Dowager said good and stretched out her hand to Gu Jinzhi.
After taking the pulse, there is indeed no evidence of repetition.
The Empress Dowager was still uneasy, but after coughing, there was no recurrence before she felt at ease. In the afternoon, Gu Jinzhi told her about the customs of Yanling Mansion until dinner.
After another two days, I haven't coughed any more.
The emperor knew that it was good, so he asked Gu Jinzhi, "How long will it take for the Empress Dowager's medicine?"
"Use another nine doses, one dose a day, take care of the liver and protect the liver, so that the liver qi will no longer attack." Gu Jin's way.
The emperor and the empress dowager trusted her very much and nodded and said hello.
Gu Jin said at the beginning that after taking the medicine for seven days, the cough would stop. As a result, it is not bad at all. Unlike other doctors, she can always confirm the specific medicine in one bite, and she is very accurate, and the dose is not bad.
This made the emperor and the empress dowager trust her very much.
Although they still don't know where Gu Jinzhi's medical skills come from.
"Queen Mother, Tan Guifei, Concubine Zhang and others all want to come to comfort the Queen Mother." Seeing that the Empress Dowager was well, the emperor said, "The second brother and the sixth brother also asked when they could come to visit their mother again. The eldest princes also wanted to come to say hello."
The emperor's former queen and Tan Guifei are twin sisters.
In the second year of the new emperor, the first queen, who was already weak and sickly, died of illness, leaving only the eldest prince.
It was originally planned to be the queen in another two years. I don't know, half a year later, the empress dowager was seriously ill, and all the trivial matters of the palace were delayed, and Tan Guifei temporarily took charge of the six palaces.
After the Empress Dowager fell ill, she was in a bad mood and was very annoyed that someone was in front of her.
Those concubines, even the king of Nanchang and the king of Luyang who came from afar, can only come to see each other on the first day of the month.
Now, it's not the first day of the first lunar month.
The emperor was very happy, so he thought about the family reunion and came to greet the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager thought and said, "Zhonglin and Zhongjun haven't left yet?"
Zhonglin, the king of Nanchang, is not the biological son of the empress dowager, but was raised by the empress dowager since he was a child; Luyang Wang Zhongjun, the second son of the empress dowager, has been stupid since childhood.
The Empress Dowager was ill. After the king of Luyang entered the palace, he cried pitifully.
A thirteen-year-old prince, a seven-foot man, cried like that. The Empress Dowager was sad and heartbroken, and she was even more afraid that her son's stupid reputation would spread more and more. When she was ill, she had no energy to teach him any more, so she had to let the emperor send them back and let the Empress Dowager recover from her illness.
How do you know? The two brothers won't leave.
In fact, why doesn't the Empress Dowager miss Wang Zhongjun in Luyang?
I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the empress dowager favored the king of Luyang. If it hadn't been for the stupid king of Luyang, she would have assisted him to the position of 95.
This is nonsense.
The Empress Dowager was afraid that the emperor would have a pimple in his heart. She believed it and would persecute the king of Luyang, so she suppressed her heartache, alienated the king of Luyang, and sealed his fief to Anhui and stayed away from the capital.
In this way, the emperor may have less care about him.
The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. The Empress Dowager loves both the emperor and the King of Luyang. But the royal family has been merciless since ancient times. If you are not careful, it will bring a disaster to the king of Luyang.
Knowing that the king of Luyang was in the capital, she obviously missed her son very much, and the empress dowager only met him routinely.
"Not yet." The emperor replied with a smile, "Both of them said that they could return to the fief with peace of mind until their mother recovered from her illness. Now they all live in their respective palaces. I chartered them to go back when their mother recovers.
The King of Nanchang and the King of Luyang both have houses in the capital.
The Empress Dowager was silent.
She didn't know whether the emperor was sincere or tentative.
Because of those heart-wrelicting rumors in the world, the Empress Dowager had to be careful.
She said cruelly, "My family is ready. The emperor sent someone to tell the king of Nanchang and the king of Luyang and let their brothers go back! With the prince of the fief, there is no special edict to live in the capital, what kind of style is it? However, they are the closest brothers to the emperor. What do the other princes think? Send them away and set off to return to the fiefdom today!"
The emperor's eyes flashed slightly, and he said yes.
As soon as the emperor left, the Empress Dowager was a little tired.
Royal mother and son filial piety must maintain an ordinary bottom line and balance.
Once someone skips it, it will be ruthless in the future.
The Empress Dowager had to be careful.
Although the emperor asked the two princes to enter the palace, he was really relieved to hear that the Empress Dowager did not see them and sent them back to the fiefdom.
Look, no matter how filial the son is, there are also temptations.
Gu Jinzhi looked at the Empress Dowager and the emperor, had a panoramic view of their expressions, and then lowered his eyelids slightly. She saw the life of her previous life, and an inexplicable sense of fatigue surged into her heart at night.
She knows this kind of fatigue.
The days are slow, and it's the first day of February.
Gu Jinzhi has been in the palace for half a month.
The Empress Dowager's long cough certificate has also been completely settled.
Gu Jinzhi said to the Empress Dowager, "The Empress Dowager has recovered, and there is no need for the civilian women to serve her again. The daughter wants to go home, and it will be her cousin's wedding in a few days.
The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned, and she was a little reluctant to take care of Gu Jinzhi.
After a pause, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "These days, you have worked hard to serve the mourning family. I'm still worried about my family. Can you accompany my family for another two days and go home on the third day of the first lunar month?
Gu Jin's way is.
On the evening of that day, the emperor came to say no, and the Empress Dowager told the emperor that Gu Jinzhi wanted to go back.
"At the beginning, the Ai family promised that when she had cured the Ai family, she would be a princess, and it would be difficult to break her promise." The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Is it the emperor who issued the imperial edict or the imperial edict?"
