Chapter 504 Zhai Zhao Falls Ill
Concubine Wu De left crying.
Juanjuan and Mingming looked at Wang Xifeng with a hint of hatred in their eyes.
On the contrary, Aunt Wanqi's eyes were confused and complicated.
Wang Xifeng did not stop scolding He Ke just because the group left. She even scolded him more bitterly:
"Your father is in his prime, and I don't know how many brothers and sisters he will have in the future.
“You are the eldest sister. Even if your younger brothers will look after Tao Ge’er, all future princesses will definitely look after you.
"Don't even mention her. Even I was just a concubine of your father before I became your adoptive mother.
"Being polite and courteous is your upbringing as a princess, but in terms of status and rank, you are equal to each other!
“So, as long as you haven’t made a mistake first, you can’t tolerate anyone who dares to bully you!
"Isn't the bloodline of the emperor enough for you to be respectable and hold your head high?"
When Princess Zhai heard this, she couldn't help but hold her forehead.
What kind of perverse logic is this?!
If what she said was true, no matter who the princess married into, her parents-in-law would not be of higher rank than hers, and certainly not more noble than her bloodline. Does that mean the princess would not observe the etiquette of a younger generation? !
Unexpectedly, before she finished her thought, Wang Xifeng brought up this point:
"If you follow the rules of propriety and filial piety in everything, believe it or not, when you get married, you will inexplicably have countless 'elder relatives' who want to take advantage of you, bully you, and make you kneel and crawl!
"When the time comes, you won't be able to stand up on your own, and your father and I, even if we want to make decisions for you and support you, won't be able to do anything!
"Why should my daughter, who was raised as precious as a pearl and as noble as a child, be subservient to those people?
"Who of them is worthy!?"
Hearing this, He Ke's face turned slightly red, but his heart felt warm and sore. His eyelids trembled, and with tears in his eyes, he came up and hugged Wang Xifeng's waist:
"Mom, I understand.
"I am a princess, the apple of my father's and mother's eye. I study literature and martial arts, and I am well-educated and well-mannered. I will grow up to be a good girl that is hard to find in this world.
“So, I don’t need to be false to anyone!
"If he respects me one foot, I will give him ten feet. But if anyone dares to insult me, I will definitely give him a slap in return!
"This is the truth I learned when I was young in the East Palace. I can't be cowardly and retreat just because I entered the Daming Palace and became a princess."
Wang Xifeng's unhappy face finally eased. She put her arm around He Ke's shoulders and softened her voice:
"Think about your father too. When he was the crown prince, his precious daughter had the courage to speak freely in front of all the royal family members;
“When he became emperor, this precious daughter had to put up with even a concubine in the harem.
"Then what's the fun of being an emperor?!"
After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, County Lady Zhai slowly fell silent and even lowered her head.
She was reflecting on how she was also the granddaughter of a royal prince. When she was at home in the capital, she followed her mother in all the rules.
But how come after marrying to Shandong, she has to follow the rules of her husband's family in everything?
Shouldn't I continue to follow the rules of the palace? !
No matter who he is or what his title is, isn't he a minister of the Shen family? ?
Later she became a widow.
Although her mother had passed away at that time, her father and grandfather were still alive. They repeatedly sent people to bring her back to Beijing, but she was like a madman and insisted on staying in her husband's house to observe her chastity.
Even this time when I went to Beijing, it was because my husband's family didn't have any outstanding children to enter the government, so they let me come back to prepare for the journey...
Princess Zhai couldn't help feeling upset, and her cheekbones turned slightly red.
Then, a slightly cool little hand held her hand.
Lady Zhai looked down and saw Lin Daiyu looking at her with a worried look on her face: "Lady Zhai, are you okay?"
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she turned around and raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with the county lady? Are you feeling unwell?"
County Master Zhai quickly shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay."
Shi Jincheng, who had been watching the fun, took a closer look at her and said quickly, "She's sick. She has a fever."
Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "The county lady's hands are very hot."
Wang Xifeng came over and touched her forehead with her own hand, and sure enough, it was burning hot.
But Lady Zhai herself didn't feel unwell anywhere.
It was not until she returned to Yinyu Palace and was ordered to lie down and cover herself with a quilt that she fell into a deep sleep almost immediately.
The imperial physician came to see her and reported to Wang Xifeng: "The county lady's condition is a sign of both deficiency of the root and excess of the superficial symptoms, and a combination of internal and external evils. A careful examination of her pulse shows that the six pulses are thin and weak, and the left Guan pulse is particularly stringy and astringent, which is a sign of liver depression and qi stagnation, and spleen dysfunction. The tongue is pale white, with a thin and slightly greasy coating, which is a sign of deficiency of both qi and blood, and dampness in the middle jiao.
"The county lady seems to be quite weak, and her worry and sadness have damaged her spleen, and her sadness and depression have damaged her liver, causing the imbalance of the Ying and Wei systems and the loss of her vitality. This autumn, the wind is strong, the pores are not tight, and the Xuanfu is open. The wind evil takes advantage of the weakness to attack the surface, triggering the internal heat, resulting in a situation of cold on the surface and heat on the inside, and a mixture of deficiency and excess."
Wang Xifeng held her forehead with her hand and said, "Say something I can understand."
The imperial physician couldn't help laughing and lowered his head hurriedly: "The county lady was depressed, and she had a little indigestion. She was blown by the cold wind and was sweating from anxiety. She fell down because of the combination of three or five attacks."
Wang Xifeng understood.
The imperial physician saw that she looked relaxed, thought for a moment, and solemnly warned her:
"But if we don't strengthen the body and dispel evil, and harmonize the liver and spleen early, the deficiency yang may overflow and cause incessant sweating, and the yin blood may dry up and cause night sweats, which will eventually lead to the five kinds of fatigue and seven kinds of injuries, and it will be difficult to heal."
Lin Daiyu's small figure appeared at the door, she quietly poked half of her face out and listened attentively.
"In addition to food and medicine, it is best to walk a hundred steps slowly towards the sun every day at chen time to open up the lung qi, and sit quietly at noon to regulate breathing to calm the mind and soothe the nerves.
"Put citrus fruits and bergamot in the room as offerings, as their fragrance can soothe the liver and relieve depression. Remember to keep out the wind and keep warm, and don't let yourself be affected by external pathogens."
When the imperial physician was about to continue his speech, Wang Xifeng interrupted him thoughtfully:
"You mean to say that although the county lady seems to have just caught a minor cold this time, she has a weak constitution and so if ignored, it could easily turn into a serious illness?"
The imperial physician nodded repeatedly: "The county lady's illness is 30% medicine and 70% regulation. If you can relax your emotions, eat in moderation, and take decoctions slowly, you should be well by next spring."
Wang Xifeng frowned slightly: "This is very important..."
At the door, Lin Daiyu's eyes were red and tears were falling drop by drop.
Wang Xifeng noticed it, turned her head and saw it, and hurriedly ordered the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription first, while she waved her hand and called Lin Daiyu over:
"Why are you so sad?"
"It was all to protect me. The county lady wouldn't quarrel with anyone, so she was sweating all over and got sick from the wind."
Lin Daiyu sobbed and sobbed, "If I could stand up for myself and dare to refute, Concubine Wu De would not have ridiculed the county lady and bullied the princess...
"It's all my fault. I'm too timid..."
Wang Xifeng sighed softly, pulled her little hand, and whispered: "You are not timid, you are afraid that if you say too much, it will cause a big fuss and kill your mother..."
