Chapter 9: Only One Son Remains
The decree came very quickly, and the next day, the father-in-law beside the emperor personally went to the palace of King Rui to announce the decree.
Zhao Jingyi attacked Prince Rui, and the eldest son Zhao Yuanrong was the son of Prince Rui, and the prince's title was inherited by three generations. The military regulation system of the Zengrui Royal Mansion is 2,000, the food is increased by 8,000, the rice is increased by 10,000, and the emperor is given two villages, and the land is 1,000 acres......
After rewarding many gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques, the most affordable thing was to let Prince Rui be ordered to control the patrol camp.
Later, there was the queen mother, the reward of the concubine in the palace, and a series of dazzling rewards, and more people came to pay their respects. For a while, it was difficult to travel in front of the prince's mansion, and the officials were of low rank and could not even enter the door.
There are also three princes, five princes and many other little princes came together, and they all comforted the newly baked and holy prince's day mourning, and privately said that if there is grief that is difficult to alleviate, cousins do not need to be polite to disturb each other, and prepare solid shoulders and listening ears anytime and anywhere.
Zhao Jingyi had to cheer up and thank them one by one, and when his wife and son were sent to the cemetery to sleep, he immediately ordered the door of the mansion to be closed, saying to the outside world that Prince Rui began to observe filial piety for his parents and wife, and he was sad and mourned, and he really didn't want to see guests.
Internal...... In the thick dark circles under Prince Rui's eyes, those tired eyes suddenly became as sharp as wolves, and they were extremely cold.
Zhao Jingyi, like many men, had an indifferent attitude towards the dispute between wives and concubines, wishful thinking that it was just a small fight in the inner house, and it couldn't turn over the big waves, but when it really happened around him, he realized that the famous sayings of the ancients have their own inevitability to spread to this day.
Yao's final fate made the careful thoughts of many concubines disappear suddenly, and even inadvertently skimmed the prince's ice-like eyes, and couldn't help but tremble, like a mouse looking at a cat, eager to hide himself, and never dared to make a mistake again.
The inner house was drastically rectified, and after a maid and a mother-in-law carefully investigated, Prince Rui really opened his eyes. The reason why yin selfishness is yin selfishness, once you see the light, the ugly truth can make this generalissimo who is used to seeing life and death and killing people like hemp can't help but be frightened. Looking at those women in the backyard who are soft and weak, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, as if they can't live without him, Zhao Jingyi feels that he doesn't have the courage to contact him in a short period of time.
When the dust settled, and the women were left to the depths of the palace and would not be seen, Zhao Jingyi decided to enter the palace to bring back the concubine who was still raised in Fengci Palace, after all, the queen mother was very old, and the matter was urgent, and now that the wind and waves are calm, it should not be disturbed more.
However, when Prince Rui hurriedly came to Fengci Palace to explain his intentions, the old queen mother pointed out unceremoniously: "Although Rong'er's life is no longer in danger, after all, she has just suffered a crime, and her body is very weak, and she has always coughed at every turn these days, your daughter-in-law has just left, who will take care of him?"
Zhao Jingyi was speechless on the spot, the women in his backyard had just been cut by him and moved to the side hall collectively, so it was naturally impossible for him to hand over his sister-in-law to this group of wolf-like women to take care of, otherwise he didn't know what tricks he could make by raising his son.
"The imperial concubine and the virtuous concubine come to see Rong'er every day......"
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, Zhao Jingyi frowned deeply and said, "It's not appropriate, Rong'er is weak, and the two Niangniang's palace affairs are busy and inconvenient to disturb, so let's take them back to the palace." "He will never get involved in the battle between the two houses.
However, he refused too quickly, and saw that the old queen mother seemed to be displeased, and persuaded again: "Grandmother forgive me, the grandson has his own considerations, one grandson is now filial piety, and the emperor's intention is to take care of Rong'er after filial piety, so some are free to take care of Rong'er, and the grandson is ashamed of this child, he was busy with military affairs before, and he didn't have time to take care of him, and now it's just time for my father and son to cultivate some affection, Rong'er is five years old, but even my father can't recognize it...... Please also ask the imperial grandmother to fulfill. ”
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly softened, in fact, as soon as the words came out, she knew that something was wrong. Now looking at Zhao Jingyi's haggard eyes, he can't see the meaning of the year, and when he thinks of his youngest son, he suddenly feels distressed.
"Anyway, these imperial doctors also followed, Rong'er is being treated by them in Japan, and the palace will find a few more proper people to take care of Rong'er, and there must be no more mistakes. After a while, grandmother will point you to a gentle and kind woman, and as for the Xiao family, it will be over when it is over. ”
In the queen mother's view, Xiao Jinping can't get her husband around, as the princess can't hold the concubine hostage and stabilize the inner house, she is really not a qualified housewife, and in the end she killed the concubine with a cane, the queen mother was quite dissatisfied, but since the person has passed away, it is useless to say more.
When Zhao Jingyi brought his sister-in-law back to the palace, the next person came to report that it was Mrs. Hou of Yongning, and Mrs. Hou came.
Zhao Jingyi has a lot of complaints about Yongning Hou, but because his wife has passed away, it is not easy to blame, and now Mrs. Tai, her mother-in-law is in person, no matter how impatient she is, she always has to see her.
And he is not a procrastinator, and until now, he always has to make it clear to the Marquis of Yongning.
"Since the incident, the old body is unable to sleep and eat, and the guilt is difficult to sleep. The prince defends the frontier to protect the family and the country, and Ping'er should do her duty, honor her in-laws, appease the inner house, educate her children, and let the prince have no worries. The first princess was sad and grief-stricken, but she didn't know how to comfort her mother-in-law and relieve her mother-in-law, only knowing that she was serving and drinking in a wooden way, and was in a hurry, and seeing her mother-in-law leave day by day, it was regarded as unfilial piety; as a princess, her mother-in-law should have done everything herself, but she relaxed her vigilance and allowed the concubine to make mistakes, and she only knew how to go sideways without persuasion, and did things with righteousness to cause such a tragic ending! The prince is benevolent, and he has not abandoned her so far, but he has taught such a granddaughter, and the old body is really shameless to face the prince!"
Mrs. Tai said and pushed away Liu's support and bowed deeply to Zhao Jingyi.
Zhao Jingyi stood up, turned his body sideways, and did not accept this salute. He is not a person who doesn't know what to do, his father has always liked to be greedy, and even his mother can't persuade him, let alone Xiao Jinping, who is a daughter-in-law, and how can a daughter-in-law take care of her father-in-law's work. As for the concubine...... A heart pounced on his father, and once his father died, her heart died.
It's not Shaw's fault.
"Married and served, how can there be the ease of being a young lady, the old body and his wife always teach Ping'er to listen to the son of the world, even if she is wronged, she must bear with it a lot, which woman in the world is not like this. The husband should be respected, spoiled, but not monopolized, but Ping'er just can't listen to it, this straightforward temper, the son of the world also suffers. ”
Mrs. Tai apologized carefully everywhere, although she heard that she was counting her granddaughter, but why wasn't she wronged for the Xiao family?
After Mrs. Tai finished speaking, Liu wiped her tears and said: "Yes, Ping'er has said one thing since she was a child, and she has never beaten around the bush, I don't know how many times I have said her. ”
Zhao Jingyi listened silently, but she didn't make a sound, but the expression on her face eased a lot.
Although the practice made him angry, he knew that Xiao's temperament was not vicious, and if it wasn't for being in a hurry and despairing, she wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing.
Zhao Jingyi sat down, picked up the teacup and said lightly: "The intention of the two is already clear, if there is nothing to do, please go back." ”
This is serving tea to send off guests, Liu was embarrassed for a moment, but Mrs. Tai said casually: "There is still something in the old body, Ping'er has not been able to let go of Rong'er before leaving, I heard that the son of the world is no longer in trouble, but the old body and mind are concerned, can you let the old body take a look, so reassuring." ”
This request is reasonable, and Yongning Hou should be the last person who wants Zhao Yuanrong to have an accident, so Zhao Jingyi agreed to this request.
Now that he is sitting in his position, the sadness has passed, and the rest is just the pros and cons, and he has never thought about completely turning his face with the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
When Mrs. Tai and the Liu family saw Shizi, they also relaxed when they saw that his breath was stable, but his face was slightly white, looking delicate and weak, obviously not healed, and his heart was relieved and distressed.
Before leaving, Liu couldn't help but persuade: "There is only one nurse and a few girls around the prince, and the prince is busy and doing big things, I'm afraid that he can't take care of it, can you allow me to visit every few days?"
Since Zhao Jingyi picked up his son, he has been taking care of him for a few days in a row, and he is quite in a hurry, although there are people appointed by the Queen Mother, in the end, it is always a little inconvenient for him to come out of Fengci Palace.
I thought I couldn't teach my son not to touch the outside world, so I agreed.
Liu's heart was overjoyed, thinking of his daughter's plea before leaving, so he continued: "After Ping'er leaves, there is no one to take care of the prince, and the prince must continue to be in addition to the filial piety period, if the new princess does not know the details, she will always ...... Rong'er."
Seeing that Zhao Jingyi's face slowly turned cold, Mrs. Tai immediately pulled Liu and said, "Mother Gu is an old man who takes care of Ping'er, and she also takes care of her after the birth of the son. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu, who pinched the handkerchief and silenced it.
This does not hinder it, I have the impression that Xiao's mother Gu is also a shrewd and capable woman, Zhao Jingyi nodded and agreed.
Mrs. Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief, even if she thought about it again, she couldn't say it at this juncture, her daughter-in-law was very good at housekeeping, but she was simple-minded. This kind of thing should also wait for the prince to get better, and take him back to the Yongning Marquis Mansion from time to time to plan slowly. You must know that as long as the prince is here, with this bridge, the relationship between the two families can always be eased, and when the time comes, and then he will have feelings with a few aunts, and the future Prince Rui's successor will not be without hope, and Zhao Yuanrong's position will be more stable, and the connection with the Yongning Marquis Mansion will be closer.
When the relationship with the Rui Wangfu tends to ease, the entire Yongning Marquis Mansion has slowly settled down, and the rest is just an impeachment outside, although it is a small trouble, but fortunately, the Yongning Marquis has always been dedicated to doing errands, and the emperor also knows. As long as Prince Rui can dissipate his anger, Xiao is dead, and it will be over.
In the end, Yongning Hou was punished for one year because he had no way to teach his daughter, was demoted by half a level, and was placed on probation. And the Yao family ...... The emperor was really angry, and he was directly suspended for investigation and exiled for thousands of miles, and even the imperial concubines in the palace were reprimanded.
When all the qi qi qi was relieved, Mrs. Tai realized that there was still his grandson in the distant Liangzhou, and the poor one was ruined without a father or mother, and the lonely half-grown child was guarding filial piety in his hometown in Liangzhou.
