Although the news of the Queen Mother's serious illness was diluted a lot because of Qu Shuqing's death, as King Gaoyang and the princess embarked on the road of exile - they were accompanied by Su Yan, the second son of the Su family.

But those who know the grievances of the Su family and the Qu family know that the Su family is just in case, so they will leave a little blood outside.

It seems that although You Eying is still in the limelight in the palace, in the end, the Su family is at a disadvantage.

King Gaoyang and the princess left Yedu, and the Qu family had no reason to pursue it, so they could only be thanked by Qu Boyang, and Wei Libo also presented an excerpt in Yingzhou to praise the righteousness of the king.

In this way, the queen mother's condition began to worry the government and the opposition, Mrs. Wuyingjun and Mrs. Rongchang all went to the palace to visit, and came out to say that the queen mother was very sick this time, King Anping, King Guangling and Princess Xuanning all took turns to serve in front of the bed, and even Concubine Wen cried in public several times, saying that she had no way to teach her son, and called King Gaoyang to provoke her to be exiled, and she could not serve the decoction in front of her mother-in-law-these words came out, and Concubine Bo was reluctant, so she had to take Princess Tongchang to the Heyi Palace.

When they arrived, Mrs. Wuyingjun and Mrs. Rongchangjun, as well as the King of Guangling and the eldest princess of Xuanning were there, and the Empress Dowager Gao was surrounded on the couch, with a forehead on her forehead, her face was gray, and she was really sick, and her voice was faintly exempt, and she said lightly: "Why are you here?" ”

Concubine Bo didn't dare to slack off: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the concubine heard that the Queen Mother is not in good health, and she was afraid that she would come over but disturb her, so she didn't dare to come. ”

He also said, "Tongchang is also worried about the Queen Mother, and he has been praying for the Queen Mother in vegetarianism for the past few days." ”

She mentioned Princess Tongchang also to please the Queen Mother, but unfortunately this sentence offended the Queen Mother a little more deeply - when the first emperor was the first emperor, because the first emperor felt that his life would not last long after he ascended the throne, he sighed in front of the Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Bo in private, and Concubine Bo preemptively said that she would pray for the first emperor to eat long, but when the Empress Dowager Gao did this later, she was one step slower than her, although the first emperor didn't say anything, the Empress Dowager Gao was always unhappy in her heart.

Now that the hatred in his heart is even heavier, he said lukewarmly: "How can this be done? Tongchang is still young, and now it is the time for hair to grow, and it is very important to take supplements and supplements, but she actually eats a vegetarian diet, and those who know that she is young and ignorant are not sensible, and those who don't know are considered to be the princess who has been treated badly in the palace! ”

Concubine Bo felt aggrieved, but she also knew that now was not the time for the first emperor to be there, plus the two ladies in the palace, the eldest princess and the king of Guangling had a bad impression of their mother and daughter, and no one would give her any steps, the eldest princess of Xuanning even turned her head and whispered to Mrs. Wuyingjun and laughed.

She gritted her teeth and said: "It's the concubine who is confused and has done something wrong, in the end, it is the queen mother who is kind and distressed to Tongchang!" ”

"The mother-in-law of the mourning family doesn't know how long she can live, but now she just lives one day at a time, how can you, the biological mother, not be dedicated?" Empress Dowager Gao said with a lack of energy, and these words suddenly cut off Concubine Bo's plan to visit Princess Tongchang when she planned to visit today, and she really couldn't talk about Princess Tongchang's lifelong affairs - the Empress Dowager was sick to the point of talking about life and death, unless it was Empress Dowager Gao herself, who would mention Princess Tongchang's marriage at this eye joint, can you listen to it?

Concubine Bo hurriedly said: "It's all the fault of the concubine!" He brought out a trace of choking and said, "The Queen Mother has always been a blessed person, but now she is just sick by chance, and she must be able to get better soon, and the concubine is such a confused person who doesn't know how to raise Tongchang at all, Tongchang is counting on the Queen Mother to have a pain, and the Queen Mother is blessed far and wide, and she will definitely be able to be her for a long time." ”

Concubine Bo doesn't want the Empress Dowager Gao to be sick or ill from the bottom of her heart, Princess Tongchang is now sixteen years old, and the marriage has not yet been settled, the Empress Dowager Gao is the princess's serious mother-in-law, and the empress dowager of a country, if this will collapse, three years of filial piety - Ji Shen is such a royal brother, and he is the biological son of the Empress Dowager Gao, will he still care about his sister's marriage? During the filial piety period, the minister can't mention the princess's marriage, right?

Although the actual filial piety is twenty-seven months, but it is also more than two years, when the princess was eighteen years old, Concubine Bo knew very well that the Empress Dowager Gao was very disgusted with her mother and daughter, but the Empress Dowager still cares about her reputation very much, if Mrs. Gao later decided to marry Princess Tongchang, no matter how bad it is, the Empress Dowager always wants her virtuous praise, but Ji Shen is different, this gentleman doesn't even care about the infamy of Qingshi, what is it to treat a half-sister badly?

If he doesn't urge it at that time, maybe he will forget about it surrounded by the palace concubines, and if he does, he will find someone to marry Tongchang - according to Concubine Bo's understanding of Ji Shen, he will definitely do such a thing!

Therefore, she said this very sincerely, but the Empress Dowager Gao was really tired of her, and it was naturally impossible for her to impress the Empress Dowager with such words, and she still said lukewarmly: "The mourning family is getting older, and one day is less, although there is a heart, but it is also powerless, you can take her back to Hongshou Palace to live a good life, originally, Tongchang has also come to choose a horse, but the mourning family is now useless, and people are confused, I am afraid that I can't choose anything good, but wronged the young daughter of the first emperor!" Fortunately, she is not very big, and it is natural for the royal princess to enjoy a few more years of Qingfu, so let's take a break. ”

Concubine Bo hurriedly said, "What did the Queen Mother say?" The concubine saw that the queen mother was like this, although she was sick, she was still in good spirits, and it must be just a small illness! However, Tongchang is just a concubine, where can he be more noble than the eldest princess? The Queen Mother would just choose a home for her at will, how dare she make the Queen Mother bother? ”

She is worried about her daughter, and she wants to force the Empress Dowager Gao to settle the matter, so that even if the Empress Dowager Gao really goes, the concubine has already been decided, Ji Shen can't stop her sister from asking her to marry, right? It is a long time of filial piety...... Who would dare to leave the princess who has decided to marry another one?!

But the Empress Dowager Gao had already been prepared, and she didn't give her this opportunity at all, and immediately coughed, Mrs. Wu Yingjun patted her sister's back, squinted at His Royal Highness from the corner of her eyes, and said slowly: "It is said that the Queen Mother and the concubine are in front of us, and our foreign women should not talk much, but the concubine also saw that the Queen Mother is now very sick, and she is still lying down, I heard that you and Princess Tongchang came over, so I got up and said a few words to you, but also because you have never come, and now I suddenly came, and the Queen Mother thought that she was living unsatisfactory in Hongshou Palace." I'm afraid you've been mistreated! Now that the queen mother has supported such a situation, it is really lacking, according to me, the concubine will talk about the marriage of Princess Tongchang another day, the princess is not an old woman now, and then the concubine said that it is easy, that is, ordinary girls always have to meet again and again when they go out of the cabinet, not to mention the golden branches and jade leaves? The concubine doesn't feel sorry for her own daughter, but the queen mother is worried that she will miss what the emperor has entrusted her! ”

Mrs. Wuyingjun has always been strong, although Concubine Bo is the first time to see her, and her status is higher than her, but she has not been able to say anything for a long time when she robbed her like this, but Princess Tongchang couldn't bear to be wronged by her biological mother, and said timidly: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't want to marry now." ”

Hearing her words, Concubine Bo was shocked, and listened to Princess Tongchang continue, "The queen mother is seriously ill, and her sons are serving in front of the bed, how can they mention the matter of marriage?" I also ask the queen mother to be fulfilled! ”

Concubine Bo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and quickly calculated in her heart - Empress Dowager Gao is a very faceless person, if it weren't for this, after the first emperor left, she and Tongchang couldn't compare to the Empress Dowager Gao in terms of foreign positions, even if they were tossed and died in this deep palace, what could they do?

Speaking of the mother-in-law and the queen mother's illness, as a concubine, Princess Tongchang should indeed serve before the sickbed, and now in addition to King Gaoyang and Princess Tongchang, aren't the three sons and one daughter of the Empress Dowager Gao already taking turns to serve?

Of course, it is impossible for Princess Tongchang to come to serve like King Anping and Princess Xuanning, who only need to worry about the illness of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the Empress Dowager Gao wants to be virtuous and famous, and may not condone the people of the Yidian Palace to embarrass Princess Tongchang in private, but if Princess Tongchang has the reputation of serving her mother wholeheartedly, when she comes to kiss in the future, Empress Dowager Gao will not be able to treat her badly, not to mention that if Yichang serves her wholeheartedly, it is always a good thing for the princess to let the Empress Dowager Gao feel relieved......

Thinking so, Concubine Bo hurriedly followed: "The concubine just said that she was confused, but isn't she confused?" The concubine only thought that the queen mother was blessed and well-being, and once in a while, she would definitely get better immediately, but she forgot that serving the queen mother was a matter of course for the concubine and Tongchang! ”

Empress Dowager Gao closed her eyes and didn't answer, but this time it was the eldest princess Xuanning who spoke, and she said lightly: "Concubine you have a heart, but after beating her father and the emperor, the queen mother has become accustomed to living in this and the palace, and she doesn't like multiple people coming over to quarrel with her." ”

This is disgusted that Concubine Bo is an eyesore in front of her, Concubine Bo has always been a little jealous of the eldest princess of Xuanning, when the first emperor was there, the most indulgent was Concubine Bo and the eldest princess of Xuanning, at that time, because Tongchang was still young, the first emperor loved the eldest princess of Xuanning very much, and even personally instructed her to ride a horse and control the strings when hunting, and even the king of Anping and the king of Guangling did not care about the eldest princess.

Because of the grievances between Concubine Bo and Empress Dowager Gao, the eldest princess of Xuanning was very disgusted with this concubine, and when the first emperor was there, he was only willing to call her a position and refused to call her a concubine, although the first emperor blamed the eldest princess of Xuanning several times for this, but the eldest princess of Xuanning insisted, but the first emperor was reluctant to blame her deeply, and the concubine Bo was not less than the eldest princess lost face in public and could not have a seizure, and now I heard her so openly say that she was an eyesore, and she couldn't have a seizure and didn't dare to attack, her face was red and white for a while, and she endured it for a long time, and reluctantly smiled and said: "Thank you for the advice of the eldest princess." , the concubine didn't dare to annoy the queen mother here, but Tongchang was always the daughter of the queen mother, as a child, the queen mother was sick on the couch, how could she not serve? Speaking of which, Tongchang will also be scolded as unfilial, and begged the queen mother and the eldest princess to read Tongchang's filial piety and reward her with a chance to fulfill her filial piety! ”

These words were so bleak and patient that Princess Tongchang couldn't help but lower her head and blink off a drop of water from her eyelashes.

Empress Dowager Gao said very tiredly: "That's it, if you want Tongchang to stay, just stay." ”

Concubine Bo breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that she would suddenly regret it or someone next to her would stop her, so she hurriedly pulled Tongchang to kneel down and thank her.

The eldest princess of Xuanning said coldly: "Since the queen mother has promised you, go back to Hongshou Palace to clean up first, and here you can also ask Song Xianren and Tongchang to clean up the house and come out to live." ”

"Since you came to serve the Queen Mother, why do you have to pack up and live in it?" Concubine Bo thanked her and said, "Just find a crooked couch." ”

…………………………………………………………………………

When Concubine Bo and Princess Tongchang came out of the palace, Empress Dowager Gao immediately sneered and said to the person who accompanied her: "The mourning family used to hate this slut's patient appearance, and they all looked wronged, and the mourning family said something casually, as if they had treated her badly, but now they are more and more patient!" ”

The eldest princess of Xuanning said: "In fact, why does the queen mother have to stay with Tongchang to serve? There is no shortage of people here and right, and it is annoying to dangle in front of you! ”

Empress Dowager Gao's pretending to be sick is only known to Mrs. Wuyingjun, although the eldest princess Xuanning is the only daughter of the Empress Dowager Gao, but the eldest princess does things simply, and the most impatient is indecisive, Empress Dowager Gao is afraid that she will say that she is looking forward and backward, so she didn't make it clear to her, and after listening to the eldest princess's words at the moment, she sighed and said: "There is no more of her, she wants to come over to win a filial piety." ”

The mother and daughter were talking, and they saw Mrs. Wuyingjun staring out of the window blankly, with a sad expression, Empress Dowager Gao and Princess Xuanning hadn't noticed it, but Mrs. Rongchang County saw it, although because of Gao Shiniang's matter, Mrs. Wuyingjun and her mother's family had a gap, but Gao Shiniang was not born to Mrs. Rongchangjun, but her niece, the relationship between Mrs. Rongchangjun and Mrs. Wuyingjun has always been good, so she secretly pulled her sleeve and said in a low voice: "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Wu Yingjun was taken aback, and quickly collected her expression, and covered up: "I'm thinking about Yi Niang!" ”

Princess Su Jiayi of Gaoyang must follow King Gaoyang to Baling City, the bitter cold land of the northwest, and exile, Mrs. Rongchangjun no longer doubted it, sighed and comforted her: "Although the northwest is bitter cold, but King Gaoyang is still a prince in the end, and he is His Majesty's sibling, Feihewei will not be rude to them, and His Majesty has not said how long the exile will last, maybe it won't be long before he can come back." ”

Because Mrs. Wuyingjun mentioned her second daughter to cover up, Mrs. Rongchangjun was also aroused of her concern and worry about her daughter, and took advantage of the fact that Empress Dowager Gao didn't pay attention, and whispered: "Fu Niang is now living in her mother's house and refuses to return to the palace...... I refuse to enter the palace during the New Year's Festival, and I am also worried! Children are debts, we are always annoyed and can't do it, and it is always okay to persuade and help slowly. ”

Saying this, Mrs. Wu Yingjun almost didn't shed tears on the spot, and quickly endured it.
