The First Empress - Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Fall In Love
It was already autumn, and Princess Yu Lai was a month old. She already needed to be taken good care of. The two wet nurses were inseparable. Princess Yu Lai had a cold these past few days. Linglong held Princess Yu Lai in her arms and watched the moon in the atrium. The tide of gorgeous singing had just set, and Jiang Hualu had yet to disappear.

Linglong hugged Princess Yu Lai. Princess Yu Lai sneezed slightly and said, “Did you call the imperial physician?” The two nurses said, “The imperial physician came to see me a while ago. He said that it was due to the deficiency of the day before yesterday. It was probably because of the birth of a child that was not yet full-term. However, this servant will take good care of the little princess. Don’t worry, Your Highness.”

Linglong nodded and said, “You guys go rest in the side hall. I’ll just watch over Yu Lai. Later, I’ll ask Qin’er to come over and call you guys. Go.” The nurse hurriedly went.

Hao Ru Chu Jiangyue, mist like Wu Xiuyun.

Linglong hugged Princess Yu Lai and muttered to herself, “Your father hasn’t come to see you for the past two or three days, and you’ve developed a typhoid fever. Could it be that you miss him?” As Linglong spoke, she gently pulled Yu Lai’s little face over. Princess Yu Lai looked at Linglong. The pair of sparkling black pearl-like eyes were filled with innocence. The softness of the exquisite cup touched Princess Yu Lai’s face and she unknowingly kissed her. She said, “You are Mother’s beloved son, and Mother will protect you well. You and Mother are close to each other. Now, Mother will definitely take good care of you.” The two of them exchanged glances. Not long after, Princess Yu Lai and she started to laugh.

‘”Why are you so happy? Look at you mother and son–” Huiqi’s voice came from behind. Linglong clasped her hands and turned her head to look at Huiqi. “The Emperor came here without saying a word.”

Huiqi reached out to hug Princess Yu Lai and said, “You know Tao Jun very well. You like poetry and painting like this. If you want to be two or three years old, you have to read the Four Books and Five Classics to Yu Lai.” Linglong leaned her shoulder gently against Huiqi’s body. Looking at Huiqi, he said, “I don’t want Princess Yu Lai Jackie Chan to become a phoenix. It’s good that she can grow up safely. As for those things, it’s good that she likes to read them properly. If she doesn’t like them at all, then I won’t instruct her to do them at all. Could the Emperor agree to my request?”

Looking at the exquisite and translucent eyes that looked like pure wings, Huiqi could only nod his head and say, “You are quite a delightful person, comparable to Princess Yu Lai.”

Linglong smiled lightly, “Your Majesty, you’ve seen a joke. Your concubine He De can’t do anything but speak nonsense here, right?”

Seeing that Princess Huiqi was about to fall asleep, Yu Lai called her over softly. The nurse took care of Princess Yu Lai and slept. Only then did Huiqi say, “I haven’t been here for several days. Do you blame me a little?”

Linglong sighed softly. The emperor said, “The emperor is the emperor of the Nine-Five Realm, so he naturally cannot enjoy the same happiness as other people. However, the emperor’s heart is bound to the world very well. I don’t feel wronged. It’s good that the emperor can rest assured that I’m not a woman who doesn’t know etiquette, justice and shame. It’s not the first day the emperor has known me, is it?”

Hui Qilian nodded his head repeatedly. A large patch of soft pink petals fell from the sky. Some of those petals flew in through the window lattice and landed on the clothes of the two of them. Some of them had already landed outside.

‘”It’s time for the flowers to fall into the water and turn red. It’s autumn now. You should wear something thicker in the future. You can’t wait for me at night. If I want to come, I will naturally let Eunuch Lu come to inform you earlier. You can’t freeze yourself because of these things, understand?”

“This concubine understands-” Linglong nodded.

“The flowers outside the window are also made of mud and dust, I also want to turn into spring mud to protect the flowers, You don’t know how happy I was to see you and your son safe, I would rather be a big tree, This is the only way to protect you from the wind and rain, “I just have my difficulties. Sometimes, you can’t be too sad. I know about the matter with the stable woman and everything that happened last time” Huiqi patted Linglong’s shoulder gently. Linglong felt bitter in her heart. Was it because the Emperor was unwilling to help her or was there really so many excuses and reasons? Why? Why was it that Huiqi was still unwilling to bring Lan Sou Yu and Concubine Mude to justice after having done such an outrageous thing? Did he have to watch the two of them arrive above his head in order to be satisfied?

Linglong was unwilling to continue this topic. Huiqi said, “I will protect you. You also promised me not to take revenge for the time being.”

Linglong could only nod her head and ask, “Is Lan Sou Yu and Concubine Mude’s family strength now enough to threaten the imperial court and the country?”

Huiqi nodded coldly. “They didn’t really collude. Once they colluded and there were no eggs under the nest, you would understand my worries.” “They have joined forces to harm me and your children. I hate these people more than you do. However, I cannot act rashly. You must know how powerful these two families are. If a dog jumps over a wall and revolts, then I will only regret it.”

“Then, Princess Yu Lai’s vengeance … won’t you take revenge?” Linglong asked.

Huiqi heavily patted the window lattice and said, “I will naturally take revenge. I have already said that the time is not up yet. Do you still not believe me?” Linglong naturally believed in Huiqi. She nodded and said, “Whatever the Emperor says is what it is. Of course, there are a million concubines who believe in the Emperor. Your Majesty, it’s cold. Let’s go rest.” Linglong closed the window lattice. Inside the window, the two of them walked to the cloud couch …

The next day, Linglong was still waiting for Huiqi in the evening. Huiqi did not come again. Linglong sighed slightly. Eunuch Lu and Pei Minghai came over. The two of them knelt down and said, “Your Majesty asked this servant to come over and see Princess Yu Lai. She said that Princess Yu Lai’s health is a little bad now?” Linglong nodded and summoned the wet nurse. The few of them went to the carriage over there.

Eunuch Lu waved his hand and saw that the palace people outside had already entered in groups of three or five. Linglong was surprised. She watched as the endless stream of palace people brought in boxes of various colors and asked, “What are these?” Eunuch Lu opened one and said, “The Emperor asked Empress Han Xiuyi of the Shanggong Bureau to choose tonic for you. These are tonic for Little Princess Yu Lai. Empress Han Xiuyi said that these are all very good tonic medicines. Perhaps the Shanggong Bureau also took out her old background. Don’t worry, Empress, give Princess Yu Lai a tonic. After all, she was born in less than a month.”

“Thank the Emperor for me,” Linglong smiled and said, “You are all capable people. Come and receive the reward.”

“Old servant Zhesha, this old servant is just a microphone. The Emperor has already given you the reward. Your Highness, please keep it.” Hearing this, Linglong was even happier and said, “Is there no problem with all these things?”

Eunuch Lu understood Linglong’s meaning and said, “When the time comes, ask Empress Han Xiuyi to come over and take a look. Imperial Concubine De and Lan Zhaoyuan didn’t meet any of these things.”

Linglong nodded. Eunuch Lu said, “It was also the Emperor’s intention to have Pei Minghai come over this time to take a look. Your Highness moved. This old servant and your Highness went to the side hall to see what was said. This old servant would be better off answering in front of the Emperor.” Linglong followed Eunuch Lu to the side hall. Pei Minghai had just finished reading Princess Yu Lai and said, “There’s nothing wrong. It’s still a congenital deficiency. The medicine sent by the Emperor can be a very good prescription. Your Highness, let this official write it down and Your Highness will understand.”

Among the supplements Huiqi had given were citron, tuckahoe, cardamom, and so on. After gathering enough medicine, it was called “incense sand spirit cardamom”. Linglong secretly remembered the method of decoction and sent Pei Minghai and Eunuch Lu away.

Henceforth, Linglong followed Eunuch Lu’s instructions and cooked the herbs for the little princess. She didn’t expect the little princess to get better. Linglong was overjoyed. Today, she suddenly remembered that Princess Yu Lai was already two months old. She happily took the silver lock off her neck and replaced it with a Buddha of Nanmu.

At this moment, Princess Yu Lai suddenly spat out something white from her mouth. Linglong thought it was puking milk, so she wiped it with a handkerchief. However, at noon, the situation was not only unrestrained, it became more and more serious. Linglong was afraid that there would be a loss, so she hurriedly called Pei Minghai over. Pei Minghai was very anxious as she showed it to Princess Yu Lai.

Linglong was even more on pins and needles as she paced around the hall. Qin’er and Ah Ao were also helping Linglong analyze the situation. The two nurses looked at Linglong and said, “This is the first time. Could it be that they just ate something dirty today?” Qin’er thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t eat anything, but I still drank the incense sand cardamom as usual and didn’t eat anything.”

Linglong was very anxious, but she didn’t expect Pei Minghai to walk over with a smile. She clenched her fists and said, “Don’t panic, Your Highness. It’s just that you ate too much. Furthermore, the tonic is very powerful. Your Highness can just reduce the dosage later. There’s nothing else.” After Pei Minghai finished speaking, Linglong felt relieved. She still asked herself, “According to your opinion, this palace gave Yu Lai too much food. Princess Yu Lai is now saying that she is suffering from a congenital deficiency. This palace is afraid that eating too much will have no effect. I didn’t expect that things would go against my wishes. This palace’s wrong idea.”

“Your Highness, just pay attention back. There’s no need to be in a hurry.” Pei Minghai was about to leave when she finished speaking. Linglong asked Qin’er to send Pei Minghai off. At this time, she looked at Princess Yu Lai. Although the little princess’s face was still red, the intense vomiting just now had already caused Princess Yu Lai’s face to turn a little pale. Linglong carried Princess Yu Lai up in pain.

Chen Chongyi had also been a little more diligent today. It just so happened that Chen Chongyi had come over. Chen Chongyi saw Princess Yu Lai spitting out white foam and was a little puzzled. However, Linglong did not seem to notice it. She reached out to wipe Yu Lai’s saliva as if she was familiar with the situation. Chen Chongyi asked, “What did you say?”

Linglong smiled and said, “Big sister is laughing. It was little sister who helped her grow up, which led Princess Yu Lai to eat too much tonic medicine now. As long as she eats, she will spit it out.” Chen Chongyi walked over worriedly. After all, he was the person who had brought the child. After taking a look, he frowned slightly and said, “This is going to be awesome. Has the imperial physician been called over to see him?”

Linglong nodded and finished speaking. She sighed, “Sister has already said that she is not willing to let her become a dragon and phoenix. She is only willing to let her go smoothly. However, Sister, you also know that the child is less than a month old. Naturally, it is not good. Now, Sister has also made a wrong decision.” Chen Chongyi could not help but say, “What are you sad about? You will understand after a long time. They all came here like this.”

After chatting for a while, the two of them dispersed.
