Chapter 129 Fake Nausea
Chapter 129 Fake Nausea
At night, when Aunt Mingyue was rubbing Qin Liuse's back, she couldn't help but sigh, "The emperor's medicine is really good. Zhaoyi was a little anorexic these days, but since she took the medicine given by the emperor, her appetite has improved a lot."
Although Qin Liuse was pretending to feel nauseous, she really had no appetite.
Although the summer in the capital is not as hot as that in Yangzhou and the weather is comfortable, Qin Liuse has been overwhelmed with a lot of things these days and can't eat.
The ointment given by Emperor Yongjia, when mixed with water, is really appetizing and helps digestion. The ointment is also sweet and very delicious.
"But Zhaoyi is in great favor now. Mingyue will watch over her and we won't be able to guard against her in the days ahead." There were only two people in the purification room, and Aunt Mingyue did not hide her thoughts.
When she said this, she clearly felt her master's back stiffen.
Qin Liuse sighed, knowing that she was referring to what Concubine Xin Shu said in the afternoon. Mingyue had been in the harem for a long time, and understood many things better than Qingqing Zijin.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with Concubine Xin Shu's behavior, and she speaks in a friendly manner, but for various reasons, as the person involved, if you think about it a little, you will know that she is not afraid of becoming an enemy of Qin Liuse.
Qin Liuse recalled the scene in Concubine Zhang's palace in the afternoon, and said calmly, "Let's take it one step at a time and fight slowly."
It so happened that Emperor Yongjia did not summon her to sleep with him tonight, so after Qin Liuse took a bath, she had a good sleep.
--
The next morning, taking advantage of the time to go out for a walk after breakfast, Qin Liuse led the maid to the palace where Concubine Zhang lived.
Concubine Zhang lived not far from Shu Yuexuan. It was not a big palace, but small and exquisite. However, she was also the master of a palace.
It was the position that Emperor Yongjia chose for her after Concubine Dong passed away.
Otherwise, without Concubine Dong, there would be no main seat in such a large palace, and Concubine Zhang’s position was not high enough, and Emperor Yongjia obviously had no intention of promoting her.
In addition, she was allowed to live there before so that Concubine Dong could be taken care of. Later, when Concubine Dong passed away, Emperor Yongjia simply allocated a small palace to her.
It's quite comfortable to manage it yourself.
The second prince now eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats.
But Concubine Zhang had been working since she was young and was a hardworking person. Her daily routine remained unchanged. When Qin Liuse came, she had already had breakfast and was sitting by the bed looking at her son.
The maid came to call Qin Zhaoyi over. Concubine Zhang immediately stood up, told the wet nurse to look after the second prince, and went out to the main hall.
Seeing Qin Liuse, Concubine Zhang smiled and said, "I should have gone to Shuyuexuan to see my sister, but I can't leave now. When the second prince grows up, he will definitely come to play with my sister more often."
Qin Liuse also had a smile in her eyes. "I've wanted to come and see you for a long time, but I was too busy recently. I took some time off these two days and came to take a look. We are close, so it is indeed convenient."
Qin Liuse held Concubine Zhang's hand and when she said this, the expression on Concubine Zhang's face froze for a moment.
Concubine Zhang did not expect that Qin Liuse would take the initiative to bring up what happened yesterday. Concubine Xin Shu mentioned it yesterday, saying that they were close and it would be convenient to take care of him...
But Qin Liuse didn't mean that. She wasn't someone who liked to escape. Yesterday, because Emperor Yongjia and the others were there, after he and Concubine Xin Shu left, Concubine Li Xian was also here, so many things were difficult to say at that time.
But we have to say it, otherwise the misunderstanding will continue and become an estrangement.
That's why Qin Liuse came here again today.
She got straight to the point and brought up the matter, saying, "There were so many people around yesterday that I couldn't say much. I came here to find you today because I wanted to speak frankly with my sister."
To other people, Qin Liuse might like to say one thing but hide her true thoughts, but it is different with people like Zhang Jieyu. Qin Liuse does not want to beat around the bush with her for fear of having the opposite effect.
She pulled Concubine Zhang to sit on the chair, looked at her and said, "A child is the mother's flesh and blood, even if it fell from her body, no one can raise it better than the biological mother."
"I have never thought of raising a second prince. Don't worry. Even if the emperor really mentioned it, I would not agree."
Concubine Zhang hurriedly wanted to stand up and salute Qin Liuse, but was stopped by Qin Liuse.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "I won't hide it from my sister. I'm really worried."
"Lady Meng came to see me earlier and mentioned that we should give the second prince to someone with a high position to raise. I was worried. I was really afraid that the emperor would not even give me this child."
"I am in this palace, without a mother's family, without any favor, and now, this is the only one I have."
"If the emperor wants to give him to someone to raise, I can only nod my head. After all, having a good adoptive mother will make his life much easier than being his biological mother. But in my heart, I really can't bear to let him go."
When Qin Liuse saw her start crying, she quickly asked her maid to hand her a cotton handkerchief and said, "The emperor obviously didn't mean that. Don't think about it anymore. You just came out of confinement. If you cry your eyes out, you'll be gone."
Concubine Zhang was sobbing, her face full of tear marks. She wiped her tears vigorously with a cotton handkerchief. It was obvious that she had been under a lot of pressure during this period.
However, after hearing what Qin Liuse said, after crying, only joy remained. After drinking two cups of tea with Qin Liuse, there was only a bright smile on her face.
After drinking tea, Concubine Zhang sent her maid to the small kitchen to bring snacks.
Qin Liuse looked at the maid's back as she walked out, and couldn't help but ask, "Who pointed this maid to you?"
