reconciliation
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
As the twelfth lunar month enters, the weather passes by one day. A charcoal basin is lit in the Pepper Room Hall, and the hall is as warm as spring. But in this warmth, there is always a hint of desolation and loneliness.
Queen Liang had been ill for more than a month, and Eunuch Ding came for a day, but the emperor never showed up. The palace maids dared not reveal themselves and muttered a lot in private.
"It's been so long, the emperor hasn't calmed down."
"Isn't it? It's been more than a month since the Empress has been recuperating. The Emperor has never visited the Empress once. It can be seen that he is so angry this time."
"The Empress is so pitiful that she is crying all day long. Speaking of which, the Empress's selfishness is nothing. She is just offering two beautiful palace maids. If the Emperor doesn't like it, why bother to get such a big temper?"
"You are wrong to say this. The emperor and the empress are young couples, and they are deeply in love. The empress suddenly offered two palace maids, how could the emperor not be angry?"
"This time, the empress really lost the rice without stealing the chicken and shot herself in the foot."
"Shh! Don't be too sarcastic. If the empress hears it, she will have to be beaten."
The palace maids' private discussions were unstoppable, but Queen Liang could guess it even if she didn't hear them with her own ears.
She lay sickly on the bed, her expression dull, and her beautiful eyes had long lost her former expression. She whispered to the palace maid by her: "I am sick all day long and never recovered. You go and ask Cheng to ask me to ask her to see the doctor."
The word "please" has been used, which shows how thirsty Queen Liang is.
The palace maid responded and sighed secretly in her heart.
The person Empress Liang really wants to meet is the emperor. Unfortunately, no matter what Empress Liang said in front of Eunuch Ding, Emperor Xuanping just didn't come to the Jiaofang Hall. He kept Queen Liang alone.
Queen Liang always cried a few times a day. Over the past month, all her measurement and thoughts have been smoothed out, and only one thought was left, which was to meet Emperor Xuanping.
The emperor couldn't see him. When he saw Cheng, he asked her to say something to him. It was also a good idea.
Queen Liang sent people to invite Cheng Jinrong in the past few days, but Cheng Jinrong didn't come either. It was not because Cheng Jinrong deliberately took offense, but because Emperor Xuanping refused.
Queen Liang didn't care about any face anymore and sent someone to invite her every day.
...
"Qi Cheng reported to the emperor that the palace maids around the empress came to invite him, saying that the empress was seriously ill day by day. Please give me some advice to the emperor for the treatment and prescription."
A little palace maid came to report respectfully.
Cheng Jinrong's expression did not move, and he nodded slightly: "I understand. If you ask her to go back and report, just say that you will give me some advice and then go."
After the little palace maid stepped down, Cheng Jinrong stood up and went to Baohe Palace to ask for the emperor.
It is common for others to see the emperor for an hour or two to wait. Cheng Jinrong is an exception. After a brief passage, Emperor Xuanping summoned her to meet her.
Emperor Xuanping's dragon body was not as good as that of ordinary people, and he was particularly afraid of the cold. The charcoal basin in Baohe Hall was more sufficient than elsewhere and was particularly warm.
Cheng Jinrong smiled and saluted: "I have seen the emperor."
Emperor Xuanping put down his memorial: "Cheng Tuan is not given a gift to Ping'an."
Eunuch Ding was so smart that he immediately led the eunuchs to retreat.
Cheng Jinrong opened his mouth and said, "The Empress has sent someone to invite Weichen to see the doctor for five consecutive days. The Empress is ill and has the right medicine. I wonder when the Emperor will give the Empress medicine?"
Emperor Xuanping: "..."
It has been more than a month since this, and even the strong anger has subsided.
He hardened his heart and refused to go to the Jiaofang Hall, and only asked Eunuch Ding to go every day. In fact, he felt bad when he heard that Queen Liang was sick day by day.
If he hadn't been able to hold on to this breath, he would have been soft-hearted.
Emperor Xuanping responded with distortion: "The queen is sick, just go to her for treatment. I am not a doctor, so what medicine should I give?"
Cheng Jinrong looked at the stubborn emperor teasingly: "Heart disease still requires heart medicine. I don't need to take my pulse, but I can prescribe a prescription for the Empress. As long as the emperor goes back to the Jiaofang Hall, the Empress's illness will naturally be cured."
Emperor Xuanping was a little awkward: "I don't want to see her."
Cheng Jinrong nodded and signaled that he knew: "It's better not to see him. Anyway, the Empress is not a serious illness, and she has no worries about her life. At most, she is depressed and depressed, just like the Empress Dowager did back then."
Emperor Xuanping: "..."
Emperor Xuanping coughed awkwardly: "I have finished reviewing the memorials and go to Jiaofang Hall to meet her."
Cheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "I thanked the emperor on behalf of the empress."
No matter how thick the Emperor Xuanping was, he couldn't sit still. He got up and walked over, whispered, "Have you really calmed down?" He left Queen Liang like this, and he also wanted to support her and vent his anger for his own sister.
Cheng Jinrong smiled and sighed: "I understand the emperor's intentions. The empress is the emperor's beloved wife and the queen once. If you do something wrong, the emperor will punish you too. It is not a big deal to keep it in lingering it like this."
"I hope that the emperor and the empress and the empress are in love. If the emperor has a rift and estranged from the empress, I would rather resign and leave the capital now."
Emperor Xuanping stared at Cheng Jinrong and said softly: "No matter what, I don't want you to suffer any grievance."
Cheng Jinrong's nose was slightly sour, and a warm feeling swept his heart: "The emperor values the weak ministers so much, who dares to let them suffer grievances?"
...
An hour later, Emperor Xuanping set up the Jiaofang Hall and Cheng Jinrong also accompanied him.
Queen Liang, who couldn't get up on the bed, was so surprised that she was so surprised that when she heard the emperor was coming, she ordered the palace maid to help her get off the bed and ask for makeup and change clothes to welcome her.
Emperor Xuanping pushed the door and said to Queen Liang, who was sick and haggard, and said, "Stop tossing, you are sick, what bed to get off? Who will dress up and change clothes for? Let's lie back on the bed."
The familiar voice came into my ears, Queen Liang's eyes became redder and tears were pouring.
Queen Liang stood there, motionless, staring at Emperor Xuanping in a daze.
After all, he was the person he really liked. No matter how hard Emperor Xuanping was, he couldn't hold on. He sighed, walked forward, and held Queen Liang's hand.
Tears rolled down in Queen Liang's eyes, and she snuggled into her long-lost familiar embrace: "Emperor, I know that I am wrong, but I really know that I am wrong. From now on, I will serve the emperor wholeheartedly and I will not have any thoughts."
"For more than a year, I have not been pregnant, and I feel uneasy and feel deeply sorry for the emperor. I want to monopolize the emperor and do not want to choose a concubine to enter the palace. So I came up with such a bad idea. I also specially asked Cheng to come up with something, wanting her to help me choose a palace maid who is healthy and suitable for men."
"Cheng Tiao refused to agree, so he dissuaded a few words. I was stunned at that time and couldn't listen to a single word. I also found Doctor Zhou..."
