"Zi Rou, go and boil some water for me first." Madame Jiang did not have the time to be polite with him.
"Boiling water?" Yesterday, when they were boiling water, Wang Zirou still hadn't come. She didn't know what to use to boil the water.
"Let me do it." Mrs. Wang immediately got up and went to get the medicine pot and the small stove that she had put away yesterday.
"Let me do it." A small palace maid had already swiftly ran over, carrying the medicine pot and the small stove to the side of the large wooden bucket.
At this time, the empress dowager heard a sound and came out of her room to see a large group of people gathered together. "What's going on?"
The crowd immediately gave way to a gap. Madame Jiang cried out to the empress dowager, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, it's Qingluo."
"What happened to Qingluo?" The empress dowager strode over and saw Qingluo lying unconscious on the bed. The slight rise and fall of her body made her feel more at ease.
However, there were still traces of blood on her clothes, but she didn't see where it was tied up. The empress dowager's face immediately darkened. "Go get a kernels and dip it in some warm water. Wipe Qingluo clean up carefully. See where she's hurt. Is it serious?"
"It's here, it's here." Wang Zirou, who had already gone to soak in the kernels, brought the wet kernels with him and walked into the crowd. "Everyone spread out a bit.
As expected of the people who helped out in the Charity Hall, he learnt a little of the basic nursing knowledge.
"Come quickly, ZiRou. Where's Qingluo?" Madame Jiang was in a hurry to tell Zou Rou to hurry up. She couldn't care less about the things on the side, but it was Lady Wang who led the other wives and spread out.
He cleaned up the bedding that he did not have time to clean in the morning, scooped out a cup of water with a cup, and dipped the kernels in it for everyone's turn.
Now that everyone knew the importance of water, they could only wet the kernels's water. After wiping their faces, they were done.
In the face of difficulties, everyone gradually formed a group, becoming one to each other and one to each other.
"I don't see any injuries. Why would it cause my body to be covered in blood?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Ah, the empress dowager, Qingluo has a large bag here. Take a look, it's quite large." The empress dowager quickly looked at the place where Wang Zirou had touched her.
The big bag was located on top of Qingluo's forehead, and in front of her head, there was a slanted bag. The big bag was on Qingluo's forehead, and in front of her head, there was a slanted bag.
"Yan'er, go and dip in a hot cotton towel and help Green Luo apply this lump. It needs to be slightly hot, but you can't get too hot. Don't burn her up."
The empress dowager's heart ached as she looked at Qingluo. She didn't even turn her eyes away from Aunt Yan when she instructed him otherwise. She was truly a little worried in her heart.
"Empress Dowager, will anything happen to Qing Luo?" Wang Zirou was a little scared when she saw Qingluo like this. Qingluo had always been full of energy, every Heavenly Palace was constantly busy, and there was no sign of her being tired.
Right now, her unmoving appearance made others think that she was about to disappear. Although Wang Zirou had already prepared to face death in her heart, she was still a little panicked when it was possible for death to appear in front of her. After all, she was only sixteen years old.
"I'm not afraid, Zi Rou. Qing Luo will be fine. You also know that she is the strongest one here. She will never give up." Wang Zirou agreed with the empress dowager's words. Qingluo was truly a tenacious person and would not easily fail.
"Mm, Qing Luo will be fine. She's the strongest, and she was unconscious for three days and three nights. She's already awoken." Wang Zirou also became determined.
"When did she fall into a coma for three days and three nights? How come I didn't know?" The empress dowager had really never heard of what happened to Qingluo in Weir Prefecture. No one would gossip in front of the empress dowager about something like this.
The empress dowager had never thought about Qingluo's past, so she had never thought about asking others about it. Just like what happened to Qingluo at Grand Princess Mansion in Ningyuan, Qingluo's wedding was more than a year later.
The empress dowager had overheard this incident from someone else, and had summoned some of her wives to the palace to see her. It seemed that the madame really hadn't said it specifically for the empress dowager to hear.
It was only when she was chatting with another lady and mentioned that Rong Xing was about to get married, that the empress dowager heard of it. After the empress dowager continued to question her, she found out that Qingluo had experienced something like this at Grand Princess Mansion Ning Yuan.
"Of course you don't know. Weir Prefecture is so far away from the capital, how could you possibly have heard about it? At that time, in the Weir Prefecture, Qingluo was really not having a good time." When Wang Zirou thought back to it now, she still felt that it was unfair for Qingluo.
"Qingluo was always locked in the courtyard by her mother, and was not allowed to leave. One day, she was called out to play by their Zheng Mansion's eldest miss and Second Miss, and in the end was pushed out of the pavilion by Second Miss."
"A five step bluestone staircase, plus a bluestone path in front of us. Just think about what sort of fall Qing Luo would make. At that time, they thought they wouldn't be able to save her. Even the doctor said they wouldn't."
"In the end, Qingluo woke up herself. Empress Dowager, Qingluo was really strong. At that time, she couldn't eat her fill, nor could she wear anything warm. If I had lived that kind of life, I'm afraid I would've died long ago."
"However, she still managed to live a strong and wonderful life. Seeing how happy she is right now, I am truly happy for her. This is what I call 'bringing the hardships to bear'. It is not in vain for her to put forth all of her effort."
"Zi Rou, don't spout nonsense." Madam Wang did not dare to allow her daughter to speak carelessly, as it also involved the ministers of the imperial court. Qingluo was not the daughter of a common citizen, and her father was the Procurator of Weir Prefecture, so she could not say these words casually.
"Mother, I am not lying, we all know about this matter from the young ladies of Weir Prefecture, I did not spout nonsense. That time when I went to our house to eat, Zheng Qingyan wanted to push Qing Luo over."
"In the end, Qingluo discovered it too early. She didn't get her to push herself to him, and instead, she evaded him. Otherwise, do you think her cousin wanted to marry her?" Stop dreaming. "
Madame Wang was so angry that she slapped her daughter in the face. The more she didn't want to speak, the more she wanted to continue.
"Mrs. Wang, stop hitting the kids. It's not like Qingluo wasn't doing well. It was all because of us uncles and aunts that caused the children to suffer so much."
Madame Jiang thought about Qingluo's past and also let out a long sigh. Qingluo had not only suffered a lot, it had also suffered a lot.
I remember that when she first returned to the capital from the Weir Prefecture, I helped her find a few teachers. I thought that even if I had to hug her for a bit, I would let her learn some basic social etiquette, a few pieces of zither music, calligraphy, poetry, art, art, and art. When she was in the Weir Prefecture …
Madame Jiang did not know how to continue, she paused for a bit, and suppressed her eyes, then continued, "I have not received any instruction, and am kept in a small courtyard by myself, I am not allowed to come out."
"The ones that can be used to eat and dress up are the worst ones in the mansion. Don't not believe that at that time, she was even dressed up as a maid to serve her. Sigh … Anyway, it was a difficult job, so it won't be a problem for outsiders."
"I also told her that she could learn the same mentality. I've invited more mister, to see which ones she would be interested in, and to focus on cultivating which ones. There have to be a few that can be used."
"In the end, Qingluo also learned them all. Furthermore, she learned them all very diligently. Furthermore, she learned them very well." Speaking of Qingluo who was like this, Madame Jiang was also very proud.
"Madame Jiang, you're not saying that the Royal Concubine's etiquette, knowledge, and even her medical knowledge were all learned by her on the spot after she returned to the capital, right?" Beside him, a lady who was also involved with Charity Hall asked curiously.
Because she had interacted with Qingluo before, she knew how outstanding this Princess Yi was. She was not like the other young miss, who had only learned the basics, she was truly proficient in everything.
"Of course, I started all of them over again." The moment Madame Jiang's voice fell, Wang Zirou rushed over, "I really didn't lie to you all. When Qingluo was in Weir Prefecture, forget about learning anything, there wasn't even a needle or thread in her room."
"You people will definitely not think of anyone who's young lady until the age of thirteen, without even an embroidery needle, without even a piece of cloth, without even a brush, without a single piece of paper on the table."
The ladies were all silent. Those unimaginable days, no one had ever experienced them, no one could ever imagine them. Was life still the same?
"But look at Qingluo's current handiwork …" Wang Zirou stroked Qingluo's collar, and impressively, on Qingluo's semi-circular collar, was embroidered a cluster of rhododendron.
It was so fine and dense, yet so solid. It was as though if a gust of wind blew over, this cluster of rhododendrons would dance with the wind.
"This is the flower that she designed herself. She always likes to have small petals, but these flowers are bright and dense. She said, this is life, even if the flower blooms small, it still has a tenacious vitality."
"Furthermore, it is not alone. It has companions by its side. They will forever be filled with beautiful flowers. Even if they wither away, they would still be holding their companions' hands and dancing with the wind."
Wang Zirou caressed the embroidery on her hand and suddenly stopped.
"Don't cry — —" Suddenly, a comforting voice could be heard. The voice was vague and hoarse. At first, no one responded. Then, all eyes turned to Qingluo, staring at her in unison.
Qing Luo who was lying on the ground slightly narrowed her eyes, looking at Wang Zirou with a pained expression. Wang Zirou immediately cried even louder, trying her best to hold back from crying.
"You still feel sorry for me, look at yourself now." Wang Zirou said with a choked voice. He wanted to cry and say something at the same time, but he held himself back and burped.
"Look at you, there are so many ladies watching here. How embarrassing, quickly wipe your tears away." Qingluo was still very weak. Her voice was not loud, and because she said too much, she stopped talking.
