Tang and Song Dynasty Imperial Palace. Kangning Hall. Mu Liang was sitting in front of the window, flipping through books carelessly, thinking about whether he would be scolded for not being trustworthy and whether Fifth Sister would be scolded for failing to deliver delicious food to Fifth Sister yesterday.
Very sad? There are three things that happened in Jingtai Building the day before yesterday.
With brother's help, the mother was not in trouble. As soon as the father, who could observe the public sentiment, came back, the news somehow reached his father's ears. He and the third brother were scolded a few times, and the final punishment was to be grounded for three days, except for
I can't go anywhere in my own home.
"Liang'er, it's time to drink medicine." Empress Dowager De Fei walked in slowly with a motherly smile on her face. Behind her were two palace maids, one carrying medicine and the other carrying candied dates. They stepped forward to put down the medicine and candied dates, and then stepped aside to wait.
.
"Concubine, Liang'er doesn't want to take medicine anymore." Mu Liang looked at the bowl of dark medicinal soup and frowned, feeling that today was particularly unpleasant and he didn't want to take medicine.
Concubine De sat down next to her son, with a look of tenderness and care on her face, "Liang'er, how can you get better if you don't drink medicine? Concubine's good son is a good boy. Come on, drink it while it's hot. It won't be so painful. You
Look, today’s candied dates are all newly made secretly.”
Mu Liang looked listless. He drank medicine and drank medicine. The medicine he drank could turn into a big pond, but his body was still the same. He was panting at every turn, weak at every turn, and even had an inexplicable fever and dizziness.
.Others teased him behind his back for being a medicine pot, and those looks of sympathy or gloating made him angry and helpless. He really hated dealing with medicine soup every day!
He suddenly remembered what Wu Mei had said and said to his mother: "Mother, Concubine, Wu Mei told Liang'er that day that she knew an old doctor in Hancheng who had very good medical skills. Wu Mei said that when Liang'er grows up, he will
I took Liang'er to find the old doctor for treatment. Concubine, shall we go to Hancheng to find the old doctor?"
Concubine De looked at her frail son carefully and felt sad in her heart. Her beloved son should have been lively, healthy and happy to grow up like other children. Her son's words revealed her longing for a better tomorrow, but the cruel reality and the beauty of tomorrow
Where to look?
She gently hugged her son's thin body and said softly: "Liang'er, there are folk rumors that Hancheng is a city of death. How can the words of the fifth sister of the Ming Dynasty be taken seriously? Liang'er must believe it, the imperial doctors in the palace
, I will definitely find a cure for Liang'er and give him a healthy body."
Mu Liang said in confusion: "Mother, if Hancheng is a city of death, how can Fifth Sister survive? Folk rumors are just rumors. Liang'er believes in Fifth Sister's words."
Concubine De asked in surprise: "Liang'er, you mean that the fifth sister of the Ming Dynasty lives in Hancheng? Do you know why?"
Mu Liang shook his head: "Fifth sister didn't say anything, Liang'er didn't ask." The beautiful and lovely appearance of Fifth Sister appeared in his mind, and he was even more anxious. It would take three days before he would be free, and he had to go to Taiyuan University every day.
, but how to deliver delicious food to Fifth Sister?
"Liang'er, be obedient. Drink the medicine first." Concubine De picked up the medicine bowl. The warm medicine soup had a strong bitter taste, lingering in her nose. Mu Liang took the medicine bowl, closed his eyes, and gurgled.
After a few sips, a candied date was delivered to his mouth in time, "Thank you, concubine." Mu Liang bit the candied date and chewed it carefully, and the bitter taste in his mouth was reduced a lot.
Concubine De held her son's little face, and there was a trace of unnoticeable heartache deep in her gentle eyes, "Liang'er, remember what my mother and concubine said, no matter what, you must live strong. In this way, even if Liang'er and mother are together in the future,
The concubine will be separated, and the mother and concubine will be happy."
Mu Liang saw the motherly tenderness of the concubine, but did not see the deep heartache. He nodded: "Concubine, Liang'er must be a strong person and not disappoint the concubine."
"Fifth Prince, Fifth Prince, great news..." Before anyone appeared, the voice came first, and the next second, like a whirlwind, a dancing figure of similar age appeared with a look of joy on his face.
After becoming Concubine De, she immediately made a 720-degree change in almost the same second. She gathered her hands and danced, and knelt down before her in a polite manner: "Slave Xiao Anzi has seen Concubine De, Concubine De, Ji'an.
"
This little Anzi was the personal eunuch that Concubine De carefully selected for her son. She liked him because he was lively, smart and flexible, hoping to bring some happiness to her son. She smiled and said: "No need, get up."
"Thank you, Concubine De." Xiao Anzi stood up, looked at Mu Liang, and stopped talking. Mu Liang winked at him, indicating that he would talk later.
Concubine De noticed the interaction between the two and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Anzi, what was the big news you mentioned just now?"
Xiao Anzi looked at Mu Liang again, and the latter coughed lightly. Xiao Anzi knew what he knew, and said with a white smile: "Back to Concubine De, actually, I just saw a big cicada on the tree, so
I came here excitedly to tell the fifth prince."
"Oh? Haha... Yes, summer is coming soon, and those insects are starting to appear more frequently." Concubine De paid attention to the little movements between the two of them. She understood in her heart, and did not point it out. She just smiled and said: "Xiao Anzi, are you okay?
Don't incite the fifth prince to climb the tree."
Xiao Anzi hurriedly said: "I don't dare, so I asked the fifth prince to wait under the tree while I climbed the tree to catch cicadas."
"Okay, please take good care of the fifth prince." Concubine De stood up and said to her son: "Liang'er, my concubine will come over to accompany you in the afternoon."
"Well, a good son would like to send you to your mother and concubine."
Mu Liang stood up, took his mother's hand and walked out of the door, Xiao Anzi followed. The two palace maids who were waiting outside saw Empress De Concubine coming out, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and lowered their heads and said: "Congratulations to Concubine De Concubine."
After sending his mother and concubine away from Kangning Palace, Mu Liang couldn't wait to pull Xiao Anzi and asked: "Speak quickly, tell me quickly, what is the big news?"
