Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Li Wei hastened to let people know that Dr. Lu, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Yu, and Dr. Jiang came in to consult with Shujia again.

Several imperial physicians jointly conducted a fourth consultation on Shu Jia’s disease. The results of the consultation shocked everyone present. Emperor Lu seemed a little bit unbelievable: "Last night was a thread on a thread, and I felt better today. It seems like a lot. The body heat has also been controlled to a certain extent. It seems that a miracle happened."

The same senior doctor Jiang Taiyi also said: "It's really amazing that a child recovers."

Several people renegotiated the prescription, and among these people only Li Wei knew the reason. It was the box of medicine that did not belong to this era that saved the princess.

In the morning, she secretly fed another third of the tablets, hoping that Shu Jia would get better soon.

When the concubine came to Chongqing Palace to ask for peace, they all came to see Shujia, and the concubine respected the concubine when she saw that Shujia's illness had improved, saying that the queen mother took good care of her.

Only then did Li Wei feel relieved to hand Shujia to the maids and the maids in front of her, she was going back to her room to make up for the rest.

It was inconvenient for the princess Jinggui to wait and interrupt, and they went back to the palace.

As soon as Zhao Qian came down from the morning, he sent someone to Chongqing Palace to inquire about the illness of the nine princesses. When he learned that the illness of the nine princesses had improved significantly, he knew that Li Wei had already used the box of medicine. He didn't need to worry about the princess' illness any more, he went to the Humen Yamen again.

Shujia escaped from the dead, and finally came back alive. After being ill for several days, she was able to eat half a bowl of rice while slowly conditioning, and the sickness on her face gradually faded.

"Mother, these days make you worried and tired."

"Speaking of being tired, as long as you get better, I will be happier than anything." Li Wei stroked Shujia's hair lightly, his eyes full of compassion.

"But after so much homework, will you be angry with the queen?"

"Fool, homework is important, but the body is more important. Don't put the cart before the horse."

Li Xing murmured from the side: "Queen dowager, you are really strict with the princess. Is she a princess, is she still worried about the future?"

Li Wei glanced at Shumei, and she said: "People who like to read will not have bad luck, whether it is a princess or a commoner, it will never be wrong to receive more knowledge."

Li Wei thought that his sister was about to celebrate her birthday. Although she was still in filial piety and couldn't make a lot of fun, it was a gift ceremony after all. It is very important for a woman, and there must be a decent ceremony no matter what.

She asked to invite Mother Hu, and let Li Xing take Shujia out to play.

After Madam Hu came, Li Wei simply told Madam Hu of his thoughts: "Now I am just such an unmarried sister. In the past few years, she accompanies me to filial piety in front of my parents. It is really incredible. Yes, so I still want to do something simple for her. I plan to ask Princess Yongjing to insert a hairpin for her, and the sisters from the Duntai concubine’s family will be her praisers, and there are some other concierges for you to help. Let me arrange it. Don't be extravagant, just finish the ceremony, and then pay thirty taels of silver from my account and prepare two simple plain tables."

Madam Hu listened carefully, and when Li Wei finished speaking, Fang bowed and replied: "Please rest assured, the maidservant will do this for you."

Li Wei nodded and said, "You are an old man in the palace, and I like to behave neatly, so I can rest assured of you."

The news that the Queen Mother was going to give her own sister a gift spread like wildfire, and every place in the Sixth House rushed to add makeup to Li Xingsong. Gold, silver and jade are brilliant, all luxurious.

Li Xing showed Li Wei the gifts he received one by one. Among them was a pearl headband. The pearls on it were all large white circles and the size of a longan. In that way, the headband used about fifty beads, and the shape was generous. , Rich and gorgeous.

Li Wei asked who had given the headband, and Li Xing replied: "It was given by Princess Dun."

"She still has such good things."

Among these jewellery, Li Xing's favorite piece, but Li Xing's favorite piece of jewelry is a red gold and verdant phoenix hairpin given by the noble concubine, with two strings of pearls in the mouth of the phoenix.

Li Wei saw that his sister loved that little Cui Chai and said, "You are young, and wearing something like this dark color looks dull. Ordinary gold, silver and jade are enough. Besides, the craftsmanship of this Cui Chai is really not very environmentally friendly."

Li Xing heard a fresh word and asked hurriedly: "Queen Mother, what is environmental protection?"

Regardless of what I said happily, I even brought out the words of that era and said hurriedly: "It's just not healthy."

Li Xing became more confused and hurriedly said, "Why do I have a relationship with health when I wear a hairpin?"

"Does Wumei know what craftsmanship this green is?"

"I have heard of it. It is said that the feathers on the neck of the kingfisher are cut off as a support, and then other crafts are added. Using the feathers of the kingfisher can make the jewelry color always fresh and beautiful."

"Then you know that the feathers are cut from live birds?"

"Live bird?" Li Xing was a little unbelievable.

"Yes, a kingfisher is a little bit bigger, so many kingfishers are enough for a phoenix this size. It's still too cruel."

Seeing that his sister said this, Li Xing put the Dian Cuifeng hairpin back into the box and muttered: "Then I will not wear it in the future."

"Okay, the noble concubine has a lot of heart. If you don't wear it once, you can't help but make it. I will issue an decree recently that the palace will no longer use new jade jewelry."

Li Xing felt that the sister-in-law was very different from before, but she couldn't tell where she was different, which made her even more confused.

Knowing what the queen mother meant, she put the little green phoenix hairpin on the pavilion, and when she wanted to watch it, she took it out to play with it and put it back, so she was still worried that it would upset the queen mother.

Zhao Qian also sent the general manager of the palace to give Li Xing birthday gifts. When Li Xing heard that it was something from the regent, she moved.

The brocade box is pea green curly grass pattern, revealing a simple and calm atmosphere.

What rare treasures will be in it. Li Xing is a lady of wealthy officials and eunuchs. Now she has lived in the palace for some time. She has never seen any treasures. But at this moment, she is extremely excited. It doesn't matter what it is to her. , What matters is the person giving the things.

She finally opened the box, and a plum hairpin inlaid with rubies lay quietly on the goose-yellow velvet cloth. There was no exquisite style. The exquisite thing was the ruby ​​the size of a fingernail inlaid on it.

She likes this hairpin very much, more than that little green phoenix hairpin!

"Queen dowager, do you think this hairpin is good?"

Li Xing's eyes were as bright as jewels at this moment. Li Wei was taken aback. She asked, "Are they from the regent?"

"Yes, you said that empress dowager is not suitable, how about this ruby, is it good?"

Li Wei nodded and smiled: "It suits you well!"

Li Xing’s birthday was one day after the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was already the third day of May. Li Wei took Ning Taifei, the sixth princess Shuyu, the nine princess Shujia and Li Xing to Sanqingguan for a few days.

The Sanqing Temple is a Taoist temple funded by the royal family. Every time around the Dragon Boat Festival, the harem concubine will stay here for three or four days.

The observer Qingyuan arranged a room for Li Wei, and Li Wei took Shujia to live in a room.

The rest are also arranged to live separately.
