Until the evening, Concubine Chen and Sun Liangdi and Guo Fengyi returned to the imperial city together, they are still very abrupt, and suddenly after tonight, they have no chance to see Kyoto, and it is even more difficult to see their parents and relatives.

After entering the prince's office, the atmosphere was silent all the way, and was suddenly broken by Chen Eryan, "I should go and return the princess's waist card." The two younger sisters reunite Ming'er. ”

It's rare that everyone has no disputes and no jealousy in one place, and there is a little more harmony when parting with everything. Sun Fangye said kindly, "Today is the last night in the imperial city." We should also rest. I'm going to be on my way tomorrow. ”

Where can Guo Yizhu still sleep, as soon as she thinks that the maid of the palace is willing to go to Pingzhou with her, she is full of irritability. As soon as she remembered that there was no palace maid to serve her along the way, she became anxious, "Tonight is destined to be sleepless." I don't even have the palace maid who will follow me to the fiefdom tomorrow, I'm dying of sorrow. ”

Chen Eryan was rarely kind, "You visit the princess, there should be a lot of palace maids around her, ask for a favor in front of her, I think she will agree to dial one for you." ”

Guo Yizhu first looked forward to it, and then looked like he didn't dare to call, "I'm just the last to serve the ceremony, where can I call the powerful palace maid around the princess." That's it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, I'm a palace maid, and I'm used to doing rough work, so I won't work for the palace maid next to the princess. ”

Even so, Chen Eryan didn't say anything more, turned her voice to say goodbye, left the place, and went straight to the princess's courtyard.

And at this time, Wang Jingshu happened to be wandering in her yard, and the place where she had lived for several months was suddenly leaving tomorrow, and she was inevitably reluctant, and she was complaining to Qingyun twice.

Tonghe's voice was loud, and he announced inside, "Master, the side concubine has come to return the waist card." ”

"Tell me, invite her in."

Chen Eryan tidied up her makeup, hurriedly entered, and immediately saluted, "Please be the princess." ”

"No."

Chen Eryan handed the waist card to Qingyun, "Since the concubine entered the palace and became a side concubine, I have repeatedly borrowed the princess's waist card to leave the palace in the past few months. Now I'm going to the fiefdom tomorrow, and now this is the last time to return the waist card. ”

Wang Jingshu glanced at the waist card in Qingyun's hand and chuckled, "Concubine Fang is polite, this is just a trivial matter." However, the waist card in this palace will be taken back by the Shanggong Bureau tomorrow morning. ”

All things in the palace are not allowed to be taken away, but only the palace maids who serve can be taken away.

"Leave the palace tomorrow, there is no palace maid waiting for the ceremony, the concubine wants to invite the princess master......"

As soon as she spoke, Wang Jingshu knew what she meant, "You want to ask for a favor for the Guo family?" Tell the palace maid next to me to serve her? ”

Chen Eryan didn't plan to care about this, but after all, she decided to sell it well, but in the face of the princess's tone, she seemed a little weak-hearted, and immediately lowered her head, "Yes." ”

Wang Jingshu immediately picked a palace pink camellia and fell straight to the ground, and this was deliberately done to show the side concubine, "If the side concubine wants to sell it well, why don't you call your personal palace maid Qing Yu to serve the Guo family, why do you want to come to this princess to ask for grace for her?" ”

"Qingyi is already in King Ning's Mansion, and Huifen's mother Qingliu has left the palace and returned to Wang's Mansion. Princess Ming'er only has Qingyun and Lin Nushi by her side, who does the concubine think is better to serve the Guo family? ”

When she was alone with the side concubine, Wang Jingshu never claimed to be the princess, this was the first time. In this way, Chen Eryan also understood, and the princess was angry. And listening to what she meant, she seemed to be also worried about the palace maid, why did Mama and Aoyagi suddenly leave the imperial city? It doesn't seem to follow me to the fiefdom......

At this moment, Chen Eryan really regretted that she should not mention this matter if she was so good, and the lack of success made the princess angry. He lowered his head for a while, blushing, and was very embarrassed. After all, he opened his mouth and pleaded guilty.

"What a crime is there for the side concubine, but she is just sympathetic to Guo Fengyi and no one is waiting for her. I was negligent in this matter. Immediately, Wang Jingshu took scissors and cut off a palace pink camellia, pinned it to Chen Eryan's sideburns, "Concubine Fang, people are more delicate than flowers, they look good." ”

Chen Eryan didn't dare to move, not understanding what the princess meant. Immediately, I saw the princess cut a meal of palace powder camellia and pinned it to her sideburns, and now, she understood everything. "This matter is the concubine's inappropriate consideration, this time I thought that the Guo family would do the work of the palace maids, but I didn't bother the palace maids around the princess."

"The princess is only a concubine, and you have never heard of it."

Wang Jingshu heard her change her name to Guo's, and knew that her intelligence had already understood what Fang Cai meant, "Then I won't leave the side concubine for dinner, presumably the prince wants to eat with the side concubine today, and spend the last night in the imperial city together." ”

Chen Eryan didn't stay long and left.

As soon as she left, Wang Jingshu immediately took off the palace powder camellia on her sideburns, handed it to Qingyun, and let her dispose of it, not caring how particular a flower could be.

Just now, Wang Jingshu put on a palace powder camellia for Concubine Chen, and then wore one for herself. The meaning is too obvious. It is nothing more than the side concubine and the princess working together to take care of the Ning Palace. Concubine Chen is a smart person, and immediately changed the title of Guo.

Lin Nushi on the side chuckled, "The master seems to have changed." ”

Wang Jingshu admitted that she had changed, "It's time to leave the imperial city, it's time to change." It's not good to stay the same forever. ”

Soon, dinner was ready, and today Wang Jingshu wanted to finish eating early and settle down early, this was the last night in the palace, and she didn't want to get through it if she went to bed early.

Wang Jingshu ate heartily. She had her last meal here, and she had always enjoyed the dishes cooked by the cook in the kitchenette at the back of the yard. As she ate, she sighed, "It would be nice to bring this cook with me." ”

"There are many good cooks in Pingzhou, just waiting for the princess to choose them herself. The master is greedy and has to calculate the chef here, then don't think about it......" Qingyun's words amused the people in the womb.

Wang Jingshu's mouth full of oil reflects her excellent mood, the more she wants to go to the fiefdom, the more relaxed she becomes, thinking about how she can't change it after all, so she simply comes to cover up the water.

The palace people laughed, and suddenly the prince paced in, "The princess is really lively here." ”

Immediately, Wang Jingshu put down the jade chopsticks and asked for peace, and the palace people also knelt on the ground.

Zhu Pei shouted. Wang Jingshu immediately greeted her, "Why is the prince here?" The concubine is having dinner. Has the prince ever used it? Do you want to order the palace people to set the dishes and chopsticks? ”

Zhu Pei gave Ah Sui a look, and Ah Sui immediately led all the palace people to retreat. The two of them were left in the room at once.

He looked at the table full of delicacies, then looked at the bowls in front of the princess like a mountain, and then looked at her mouth full of oil, and had to sigh, she can still be as stable as a mountain, and live her own little life without any chaos, "The princess is really good Yaxing, and the wind outside has not been heard at all?" ”

Wang Jingshu heard the strings and knew the elegance, and the prince was referring to the East Palace, "It's none of your business, just wait for the good news." He added, "Today is the last day in the imperial city, so you don't have to worry about trivial matters, so it's naturally good to be happy." ”

Zhu Pei's heart was extremely chaotic, but no one could complain, so he walked to the princess unconsciously, "But this king's heart is very chaotic." The women in the other courtyards were sad to part, and they didn't have time to listen to him.

But he didn't think that the princess was here as if nothing had happened, "I'm going to the fiefdom tomorrow, and you can still sit still." ”

Wang Jingshu smiled, "If the concubine can't sit still, who should the prince confide in." ”

Zhu Pei sighed lightly and pulled her to sit down, "There is no news from the East Palace, and now the palace is full of ants on a hot pot, all waiting for news, and it is destined to be difficult tonight." And this king ......"

Wang Jingshu bowed her head to show understanding, but held his hand and called softly, "Lord Wang-out of sight is pure." You're going to the fiefdom, so why bother yourself. They waited for their news, the prince just had to rest peacefully, Ming'er was still in the early dynasty, and Ming'er went to the fiefdom was still the same. Regardless of whether this news is good or bad, it has nothing to do with our Ningwangyuan Eight Poles. You see, there are people in our Ning Wang Courtyard waiting for news from outside? ”

"No one knows what the future holds...... So why bother yourself today. Even if it's good news, God knows if it's still not good news in the future......"

Zhu Pei suddenly had an enlightenment. Maybe he's too obsessed with it.

Wang Jingshu frowned when she saw him, and said with a smile, "The prince must not have had dinner, it is better to set up dishes and chopsticks here and have some dinner." Even if you really have to wait, don't get along with yourself. ”

Zhu Pei responded, "You are rare today." "So proactive.

Wang Jingshu pretended to be helpless and sighed lightly, "No way, who asked the queen mother to give me all your food, clothing, housing and transportation." I just have to follow the queen mother's ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Pei grabbed her thin waist, "You listen to the queen mother so much...... Then she can tell us to give her a grandchild. Do you say you listen—"

In an instant, Wang Jingshu's oily lips were blocked, and the two kissed so much that they didn't know what to do.

The warmth and sweetness between the two of them on the bed sheet this night, Wang Jingshu took the initiative a little more. She doesn't know why... Anyway, her heart wants her to take the initiative.

In the early morning of the next day, the entire imperial city had not yet ushered in the first rays of dawn, but it ushered in the bad news of the East Palace, with that trace of desolate crying resounding in the sky - the death of the crown princess Ji of the East Palace.

February 17th.

Leaving only a baby less than two hours old, she passed away for a long time, she could only look at the child, and then passed away forever with the name of the child given by the emperor and endless expectations.

The emperor ordered the burial of the crown princess Ji, and all ceremonies were funeral for the queen to comfort the hearts of the old ministers of the Ji family. The holy decree is known, and the world knows.

In an instant, the East Palace was full of vegetarianism.

At this moment, Wang Jingshu was in a deep sleep, but she was woken up by the noise outside, and there was no prince by her side, what was going on? Lift the curtain and shout outside, "What's going on outside?" ”

Lin Nushi entered the room, knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, it is difficult for the crown princess to produce the eldest grandson, and it will be over." ”

Wang Jingshu was surprised for a long time, and finally accepted the truth after a while. The eternally dignified and steady crown princess is no longer alive, it turns out that death is so close, and her voice is hoarse, "Then the East Palace... Should I go to ......?"

I didn't have an idea for a while.

"The female official beside the Fengyi Hall said that I want you and everyone to leave the imperial city and go to the fiefdom as before. The queen said that although the funeral of the crown princess was the same as the queen's ceremony, the emperor did not call the dynasty, and the entire imperial city was not arranged with the queen's funeral system, only the east palace was vegetarian, so everything had to be left according to the original arrangement. If you want to go to the East Palace to offer incense, you can go to mourn, but according to the rules, the wives and concubines of princes do not have to raise mourning spirits, so there is no need to stay in the imperial city. ”

Although the incident happened suddenly, the queen had already arranged it and ordered the female officials around her to come and spread the news.

What does that mean?

Wang Jingshu didn't understand much, it stands to reason that if the queen's funeral ceremony is held, the prince's wife and concubine should mourn and cry, and even the emperor should withdraw from the court for five days, or even ten days, and the entire imperial city should also be silent. Moreover, the crown princess's mother's family is noble, and she died because she gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. The emperor should be removed from ......

Lin Youxiao walked to the side of the bed and reminded, "The emperor buried the crown princess with the queen's funeral ceremony system just for the Ji family to see, in order to appease the hearts of the old ministers of the Ji family." Originally, the birth of the eldest grandson was a happy event and a big feast should be held, but now that the crown princess has passed away, I don't know that it is not the child's fate that overcomes the biological mother. Or maybe there's something in it...... Moreover, no matter how the prince has a son-in-law, and there are successors to the country, then the prince should leave the palace as soon as possible. If nothing happens, King Kang of Yi will also leave the imperial city and return to the fiefdom immediately. ”

That's how it was...... Wang Jingshu only felt cold. The crown princess died in order to give birth to her eldest grandson, but the emperor was just acting to appease people's hearts. The Ji family lost two daughters in a row, how sad should they be, especially Mrs. Ji. The crown prince who was the initiator of the birth was unscathed, and he got the eldest son for nothing. Maybe soon there will be a new crown princess in the East Palace, who will remember the earlier crown princess at that time?

However, how can a two-hour-old baby grow up without the protection of his biological mother? Even if he can really hold the country in the future, I am afraid that I will have the regret of not being able to see my biological mother in my heart.

Wang Jingshu only sighed.

As expected by Lin Nushi, after dawn, King Yi and King Kang each left the imperial city with their princesses.

Wang Jingshu didn't have time to say goodbye to the two sisters-in-law, everything was dressed and went to the East Palace to comfort Mrs. Ji, and even glanced at the newborn eldest grandson before leaving the East Palace.

Then, at about noon, the prince had already said goodbye to his father, the queen and the queen and others, and left the imperial city in a carriage with his bags and concubines, leaving Kyoto non-stop and going to the fief.

Wang Jingshu sat in the carriage and breathed fresh air, from this moment on, she was no longer Princess Ning in the imperial city, she could finally be herself.

Since then, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
