[Qing Chuan] I became the queen mother after salted fish

Ergege, this child, has not enjoyed any blessings since she was born.

Even if she is an heir of the royal family, even if she is a direct descendant.

But her father didn't care much about her, and her mother even hated her.

And now, her short life is finally coming to an end.

Si Ning walked along the path all the way to his residence, but he couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

She felt pity for such a little life in her heart, but when she faced such a thing, she could only watch helplessly, because there was nothing she could do.

……

When Sining came back, Wu Linzhu was still sleeping in the room, and Mian Yi hadn't come back yet, Sining thought about it and asked Zhao Juzhong to go ahead to find out the news.

If something really happened to Er Gege, Elder Brother Fifteen would definitely go over to take a look. I'm afraid he won't be in the mood to care about Mianyi anymore. Sining doesn't want Mianyi to leave any psychological shadow because of this incident.

As a result, before Zhao Juzhong left the yard, Mian Yi was carried back by the nurse. The nurse's face was a little pale, but Mian Yi was very happy. Seeing Si Ning, she smiled and reached out to her: "Er Niang, meatballs !"

Si Ning shook her head helplessly, took Mian Yi over, and carried her into the house, while Qing Jin also took this opportunity to bring over the meatballs that were hot on the stove before.

Sure enough, Mian Yi was not full, and when she saw the meatballs, she rushed up like a hungry tiger. Si Ning stopped him, and picked up the meatballs for him.

"Slow down, slow down, these are all yours."

The people in the dining room are all good people. Although Si Ning only wanted one meatball, they delivered not only this one dish, but also Mian Yi's favorite fish soup, some refreshing side dishes, poured in a small bowl Yogurt with rose marinade, and a plate of juicy grapes.

While serving vegetables for Mian Yi, Si Ning peeled grapes for him, Mian Yi ate very delicious, Si Ning felt a little hungry seeing him like this.

But right now there is still business to do, Si Ning winked at Qing Jin, Qing Jin then dragged Mian Yi's wet nurse out.

Mian Yi ate two meatballs, half a bowl of yogurt, and a few mouthfuls of side dishes, and her stomach was full.

Seeing him squinting his eyes and looking satisfied, Si Ning couldn't help but want to laugh, but in the end he still hugged him and patted his little butt: "In the future, you can't eat so hard, be careful to hurt your stomach." .”

If Si Ning hadn't stopped him today, this kid might have to eat a few more meatballs.

Mian Yi acted like a baby, and slipped into Si Ning's arms: "Emiang, I was wrong."

Si Ning really had nothing to do with him, so he could only give a wry smile, and patted his little butt again.

Just as she was about to say something more, Qing Jin from outside happened to come in, Si Ning's eyes turned, and she asked Mian Yi to go aside to play with building blocks, and called Qing Jin to her.

"Master, the wet nurse said that Luo Quan'an, the chief eunuch in front of Fujin just now, went to report to the fifteenth master, saying that Er Gege is not good, and asked the fifteenth master to go over and have a look. The fifteenth master hurried away and asked the wet nurse to take the eldest Bring me back." Qing Jin leaned close to Si Ning's ear and said in a low voice.

Si Ning nodded, this news was also expected by her.

"Do you know what's going on at Ergege's place?" Sining asked.

Qing Jin's complexion was a little grim, and her voice lowered a little: "Zhao Juzhong went out to inquire just now, and he said that two imperial physicians have come, and Ergege's courtyard also heard the reprimand of the fifteenth master."

Si Ning frowned, Yong Yan's city is very deep, and under normal circumstances, he doesn't like to lose his temper very much, but to be able to force him like this, it can be seen that Er Ge Ge's situation should be extremely inappropriate.

Si Ning pursed her lips, remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "Don't spread the news about Er Gege indiscriminately, and don't scare the two children. Let's talk about it after the matter is over."

Qing Jin nodded cautiously and backed out.

……

In Ergege's room at this time, it was almost audible that needles drop, and the foreheads of the two imperial physicians who asked Ergege for pulse were covered with sweat.

Sitara sat on one side, tucked the corners of his eyes with a veil, and glanced at Yong Yan who was sitting on the other side with a pale face.

After a long time, the two imperial physicians finally got their pulses. Yongyan looked at the two with a cold face: "How?"

The one who spoke first was the more experienced doctor Zhao, with a perplexed look on his face: "Er Gege had been ill for a while, and his body was not very stable. Now I am observing Er Gege's pulse condition, and it is extremely weak. Inappropriate stuff."

Hearing this, Yongyan's face became even more ugly.

What inappropriate things were used, could it be that someone poisoned the child?

"What did you use? Just say it!" Yong Yan said coldly.

Imperial Physician Zhao shivered for a moment, and said cautiously: "Gege seems to have eaten something cold and accumulated, causing wind evil to enter the body, and the balance of yin and yang. Now I'm afraid it's, I'm afraid it's..."

As soon as these words came out, Sitara's face turned pale.

If you talk about hair, the nurse came to greet her early in the morning with the child in her arms, but the child was crying and clamoring to eat the persimmons on the table. She got a headache from crying, so someone brought it over for her to eat. Could it be that Dish persimmon sake?

Xi Tara's heart beat fast, and hurriedly retorted: "Impossible, this child has been eating and drinking well in the past, how could it be possible that wind evil suddenly entered his body!",

Imperial Physician Zhao sighed: "Fu Jin, Er Gege is weak in nature. He used to eat nothing, but now he is eating intestinal poison."

Sitara's lips trembled and he could not utter a word.

Could it be that he killed his own daughter, even if Sitara didn't like this daughter in his heart, he couldn't accept this result.

Yongyan looked at Sitara's expression, and vaguely saw something, his eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "Fu Jin, but what did you eat for Er Ge Ge?"

"I didn't!" Sitara retorted subconsciously.

But she retorted too quickly, and she seemed a little guilty, and all eyes were on her for a while.

Sitara's face was pale, and his whole body was trembling.

She actually harmed her own daughter, she actually did such a thing, how is this possible, how is it possible...

At this moment, Mianning's crying suddenly came from outside.

Sitara suddenly seemed to have come to his senses, and stood up abruptly: "I'll go outside to see Mianning!"

After speaking, he ran out as if fleeing.

The look in Yongyan's eyes became more and more ugly.

Aunt Yuqiu, who was staying in the room at this time, was the only person in the room who knew the truth. She looked at Imperial Physician Zhao with a perplexed expression, not knowing whether to say it or not.

However, Yongyan suddenly looked at Aunt Yuqiu at this moment, and said indifferently, "Auntie, does Er Gege eat something by mistake?"

Aunt Yuqiu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the word "eating by mistake". It seemed that Lord Fifteen still didn't want to remove this layer of window paper in front of others, so there might be room for redemption in this matter.

Aunt Yuqiu took a deep breath and said softly, "Maybe it has something to do with Er Gege eating persimmons by mistake this morning."

Yongyan's eyes suddenly became as cold as a knife, and he looked Aunt Yuqiu up and down.

Aunt Yuqiu gasped and lowered her head.

After a long time, Yongyan's gaze finally moved away, looking at Imperial Physician Zhao who was kneeling on the ground: "Is this possible?"

Imperial Physician Zhao nodded hurriedly: "That should be the case, then I will go and prescribe the medicine."

Yong Yan nodded, and sat in the same place without moving.

The other doctor Luo knelt behind, didn't dare to lift his head at all, his body was dripping with cold sweat, and he only hoped that he could get through today's hurdle.

Imperial Physician Zhao quickly prepared the prescription, and the subordinates quickly took the prescription to make the medicine, but before the medicine was ready, Er Gege on the couch vomited again, vomiting and diarrhea, shortness of breath, it looked very scary .

Yongyan's complexion became more and more ugly, and Imperial Physician Zhao's complexion also became livid.

When the medicine was ready, Er Gege couldn't drink it at all, and vomited it out again. The people under him could only continue to drink, but Er Gege just closed his eyes and cried softly, murmuring his forehead mother.

Looking at this situation, Yongyan's eyes were red, this is his child, and he was taken care of by his own mother and child like this.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Aunt Yuqiu who was standing aside, and said viciously: "Hurry up and invite Fujin here!"

Aunt Yuqiu shuddered, and immediately came to her senses, and hurried out to find someone.

Aunt Yuqiu left the room in the west wing, and went straight to Fujin's upper room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Fujin sitting by the couch, holding Mianning with a dull expression, staring blankly at a point in the sky.

Aunt Yuqiu paused for a moment, then hurried forward and said in a low voice, "Fu Jin, Er Ge Ge has been thinking of you."

Sitara came back to her senses and looked at Aunt Yuqiu, her eyes turned red instantly: "Auntie, I really dare not see her."

Aunt Yuqiu was also a little sad, she knew that Fujin didn't do it on purpose, but the negligence of taking care of her was real.

"Fujin, Gege won't blame you, Gege's situation is really bad now, you should go see her for the last time."

Sitara's heart was full of resistance, she really didn't dare, she hadn't been close to that child for a day, but on Mianning's birthday, something like this happened, she was afraid that the child would hate her, I'm also afraid that the child will conquer her and Mianning even more.

But she couldn't say no to it. She knew that if she refused at this time, then in this life, she would never get a little respect from the fifteenth master.

Sitara closed her eyes, and after a long time, she finally made up her mind. She let go of Mianning in her arms, explained to the wet nurse carefully, and followed Aunt Yuqiu towards the west wing.

If the child really has resentment in his heart, then he should attack her and let Mianning go.

……

When Mrs. Sitara entered the room, it seemed that something happened in the room, and the maids and servants all looked anxious.

Sitara's heart sank, and he hurriedly walked a few steps into the inner room.

Then he saw Yongyan sitting on the edge of the couch, holding Er Gege's hand.

Hearing someone coming in, Yong Yan looked over, but the moment he saw her, his eyes were full of coldness.

Sitara was terrified, and hurried forward, only to see the child on the couch, with sunken cheeks and a dark complexion, seeing her coming, his little head tilted to one side, showing a shallow smile to her: " Mother..." she called out softly.

Xi Tara's tears came down, she knelt and crawled to the side of the couch, hugged the child lying on the couch: "My son, I am sorry for you, it is all Er Niang's fault."

The child's slender arms wrapped around Sitara's neck, and his tone was still soft: "I like my mother, and my younger brother."

Sitara burst into tears like rain.

How could she be so confused, this is her own daughter, it's all her fault that he hurt him, it's all her fault!

Yongyan sat on the side, his throat choked, this child is really distressing, but the relationship between father and daughter between them is too shallow, and he has no time to love her any more.

There was only a burst of sobbing in the room for a while.

As for Er Gege, she snuggled into Eniang's arms with a contented face, and there was a soft smile at the corner of her mouth.

For a long time, this little girl with tragic fate didn't make a sound.

……

Si Ning sat in the room, feeling a little uneasy, stood up again after a while, and walked back and forth in the room a few times.

I don't know if Er Gege can survive this ordeal, if she can survive, maybe her life in the future will be easier.

Just as Si Ning was thinking wildly, there was a sudden cry from the direction of the main hall.

In the crying and howling, there was great despair and grief, which made people feel uneasy.

Si Ning finally stood still, she stared in the direction of the main hall in a daze, knowing in her heart that Er GeGe might not be here anymore.

……

For a long time after that, Brother Fifteen's backyard fell into a gloomy atmosphere.

Fujin has been ill since Ergege's early death, and he couldn't afford it. He took a lot of medicine and saw several imperial physicians, but none of them worked.

On the day of Er Gege's funeral, Fu Jinqiang came out to preside over it energetically, but before he could say a few words, he passed out in front of the people. Si Ning looked at it at the time, it didn't seem like he was pretending.

Si Ning knew that Fujin's disease was rooted in his heart, and no amount of medicine could cure his heart disease.

Sometimes people are such strange creatures. They don’t know how to cherish the things around them. They don’t regret it until they lose it. But it’s too late to regret it now. The things that are lost are just lost. No matter how many tears you shed, No matter how regretful I am in my heart, it won't help.

Si Ning couldn't help sighing, she looked out of the house through the window, Mian Yi was sitting with a little girl on the mat under the big tree in the courtyard, playing with building blocks.

That little girl is Da Gege, who was brought to Shen Jiashi by Yong Yan himself to raise her a few days ago.

As soon as Shen Jiashi fulfilled her wish, her spirit changed, so she made several clothes for Da Gege with the material she made from the bottom of the box that day.

The next day, I came to Sining's house with Da Gege in my arms to visit, and every bite would not disappoint my master's trust.

Si Ning knew in his heart that if Yongyan trusted Shen Jiashi much, he might not have much trust in Shen Jiashi. What he did was nothing more than that he couldn't trust Fujin even more. He could take care of his own children like this, let alone other people's children.

If such a slap in the face was done in normal times, Fujin would definitely not just let it go, but today is different, even if Fujin objects now, I'm afraid it won't change Yongyan's decision.

Si Ning sighed again, she only hoped that this difficult summer would pass sooner.

……

Until September, Si Ning and his party returned to the Old Summer Palace. After staying in the Old Summer Palace for a short time, they returned to the Forbidden City.

After returning this time, the situation in the [-]th elder brother's courtyard changed drastically. Fujin completely lost his momentum, and began to eat fast and chant Buddha, living in seclusion.

Yongyan originally wanted to hand over the matter of the backyard to Sining, but Sining felt that it was a bit too conspicuous for her to be in the early stage. She knew that there was a more powerful master behind her, so she didn't accept it. Aunt Yuqiu was given the affairs of the back house.

Just like that, a few days passed peacefully.

As a result, just two days after he came back, Da Gege was seriously ill.

Da Gege was born dangerously, his body was not that of an ordinary child, the disease became more serious, within a few days, he had already vented more and breathed less, Shen Jia was crying like a tear.

Yongyan's originally slightly recovered mood also became depressed, frowning all day long.

Later, Da Gege did not survive the winter, and Da Gege passed away on the first day of November.

It was another funeral, but because the child was underage, the funeral had to be kept simple.

On the day of wrapping, Shen Jiashi hugged Da Gege's already stiff body so that no one could touch it. In the end, Si Ning really couldn't see it, so she went up to persuade her a few words, and finally buried Da Gege safely.

Shen Jia cried out of breath in front of Si Ning: "Although that child was not born to me, I took care of her for the past few months and raised her as my own daughter. Now she is gone. , my heart is empty."

Si Ning knew that what Shen Jiashi said was right, maybe at the beginning, Shen Jiashi just wanted to have some face in front of Yongyan, so she tried to raise Da Gege, but everyone can see Shen Jiashi's kindness to Da Gege What you get is really comprehensive everywhere.

Now that the person is gone, it is normal to feel uncomfortable.

Si Ning sighed and was speechless for a while.

……

The funeral at the Fifteenth Elder Brother's House was soon dismissed by the coming New Year. Even Fujin, Shen Jiashi, Sining, and even Yongyan felt uncomfortable, but the New Year in the palace , even if your heart is soaked in bitter water, you still have to smile on your face, otherwise you don't know good and bad, and you have bumped into a good life.

Everyone worked hard to finish the year, and on New Year's Eve, Yong Yan got drunk and was carried to Fujin Courtyard.

Si Ning stood by the window, looking at the red lanterns hanging in the corridor, feeling filled with emotions.

Mian Yi, who was lying on the couch trying to keep up with the new year, had her little head bit by bit, looking extremely tired, but desperately trying to keep her energy up, Si Ning thought it was funny, and wanted to hug him back to rest. '

But Mian Yi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Si Ning: "Er Niang, are the second sister and eldest sister dead?"

Si Ning was stunned, she didn't expect him to ask this question, she was silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "Why would Mian Yi think of asking this?"

Mian Yi shook her little finger: "I heard what the court ladies said."

Si Ning was silent, and finally patted Mian Yi on the back, and said softly: "The two younger sisters have gone to the sky and become a fairy in the sky. Huang Mafa kowtowed."

When Mian Yi heard this, her eyes sparkled: "Is it the fairy in the story Er Niang told me?"

Si Ning smiled and nodded.

Mian Yi suddenly became happy: "That's good, when I grow up, I will pick up my sisters and let's play together!"

Si Ning pinched Mian Yi's little face: "Mian Yi is really capable, so go to bed now, she will grow taller when she sleeps, and she will learn better skills later."

Mian Yi smiled and nodded, put her arms around Si Ning's neck, put her little face on Si Ning's neck, and whispered in Si Ning's ear: "Emiang, I sleep with my third sister, I will help Ermiang Looking at the third younger sister, she was not allowed to become a fairy, and the eldest sister went to the sky, and Shen Erniang cried for several days."

Si Ning's eyes became sore when he heard this, and after a long time, he leaned over and kissed Mian Yi's little cheek, and said softly, "Good boy."

Mian Yi's face turned red, and she became a little shy.

……

After the first month of the 49th year of Qianlong, the cloud over Nansan Institute finally dissipated a little.

Yong Yan also seems to be much more energetic, no longer the sadness before, but the relationship between him and Fujin has stiffened after all.

The two didn't necessarily speak a word for several days.

And Fujin seemed to have lost the will to fight, and he only ate fast and recited Buddha all day long, or taught Mianning, and ignored everything else.

They didn't even let Si Ning and the others go to the front to say hello. Si Ning and Shen Jia went there a few times, but they didn't see anyone. Looking at it, I really thought they were completely dead. I heard that they invited a Guanyin statue back later. , A shrine was specially set up, as if he really believed in the Buddha.

In this way, she lived peacefully until February, when Yongyan suddenly brought up the issue of Mianyi's education with Sining.

"Seeing that he is getting older day by day, and now he is five years old, it is time to think about letting him go to school."

Si Ning was stunned, he was only four years old, it was too early for him to go to school.

Seeming to see Si Ning's hesitation, Yong Yan hurriedly said: "I'm not here for a few days, I'm thinking, wait until next year, when he's six years old, and then go to school, this year we'll pick some haha ​​beads for him, Be prepared so that he does not lag behind others in the study room."

Si Ning was a little surprised: "Master wants Mian Yi to study in the study?"

Yongyan nodded: "This was proposed by Huang Ama, he said that he would send Mianyi there next year."

Si Ning was a little happy in her heart, it seemed that Qianlong liked Mian Yi quite a lot, which would be very good for Mian Yi's future.

"Since that's the case, let's send it over next year. It's just that you have to decide what to prepare."

After all, Yongyan studied in the upper study room, so he must know more about the environment than Sining.

Yongyan nodded: "From today onwards, I will set aside an hour every day to teach him and lay the foundation for him."

Si Ning sighed while nodding, it seems that Mian Yi's good days are really coming to an end!

It's just that Mian Yi didn't know the bad news at this time, he was sitting on the couch, pulling Wu Linzhu, playing with building blocks together, looking at the crooked house built by Wu Linzhu, laughing and rolling all over the couch.
