Chapter 322: Consultation
Emperor Chu was coaxed better by the children, Wu Chuan was very eye-catching and asked people to re-serve some snacks, and the little sister Su took a piece of snacks and was about to send it to Emperor Chu's mouth.
"Grandfather." Sister Su learned from the way Xiao Xuan coaxed her to eat when she was usually in the mansion, raised her hand and brought the dim sum to Emperor Chu's mouth, and said in a milky voice. "Grandfather eats!"
"Okay." Emperor Chu smiled and ate the dim sum that Sister Su fed him.
Emperor Chu had just finished eating the dim sum, and Sister Rou, who was sitting next to him, handed over the hot tea in time.
The children accompanied Emperor Chu for a while, and Emperor Chu asked Wu Chuan to send someone to take the children out to play, leaving only Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan to continue to sit in the hall.
"I know what you came to the palace for." Emperor Chu looked at the plain dresses of his two daughters, and knew the intention of the two daughters to bring their children into the palace. "I'm fine."
"Since my father knows that my sister and I are worried about you, we should rest and eat well." Xiao Xuan said softly. "The second brother left suddenly, and it is normal for the father to feel sad."
"Yes, Father." Xiao Lu took Xiao Xuan's words and said. "It was just that I knew that my father would be in a bad mood, so my sister and I specially took the children into the palace to visit our father."
"Hey, my father knows your hard work." The two daughters are intimate, and Emperor Chu is naturally ironing in his heart. "Look at the way you talk and sing with me now, I've almost forgotten how you two used to make trouble."
"Father, don't talk about those old things." Xiao Xuan burst out laughing. "My sister and I are both mothers now, and we definitely won't be the same as when we were children."
Emperor Chu lifted his spirits a little, and he continued to deal with the folds piled up on the desk.
Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan took the initiative to resign and launched the Lingyun Palace, outside the Lingyun Palace, Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan parted ways, Xiao Lu took Sister Rou to go to Concubine Chen to say goodbye, and Xiao Xuan took her son and daughter back to Yihua Palace.
On the way to Yihua Palace, Xiao Xuan met Xiao Rui, the prince of Qi, and Liang, the princess of Qi.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law." Xiao Xuan looked at the direction where the husband and wife were coming, and knew that they must have entered the palace to ask Qin Zhaoyi for peace.
Brother Min took Sister Su and shouted with Xiao Xuan.
"Coincidentally, my sister also entered the palace today." Xiao Rui is gentle and run, and the Liang family is the tiger girl of the gate, but the relationship between their husband and wife has always been good, "Is it for the second brother?" ”
"Yes, my sister and I just came out of the Lingyun Palace." Xiao Xuan said. "The fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law seem to have just visited Qin Zhaoyi's mother."
"The mother concubine knew that the second brother was gone, and it was difficult to mourn, so I took the princess into the palace to comfort the mother concubine." Although Xiao Rui and Xiao Jin are half-brothers from the same mother, one is raised in front of the queen and the other is raised by Qin Zhaoyi's side.
Xiao Rui is different from the ambitious Xiao Jin, his temperament is similar to Qin Zhaoyi Xiao, he is not involved in the court situation, and he only lives a stable life in his own Prince Qi's mansion.
"Fourth brother, please also mourn." Xiao Xuan lowered his head slightly and said.
After greeting for a while, Xiao Rui left with Liang.
When Xiao Xuan arrived at Yihua Palace, the imperial physician was talking back to Emperor Liu's concubine, and he was talking about the queen who was sealed in Zhaoyang Palace.
It turned out that the Zhaoyang Palace, where Wu Chuan went in person yesterday, informed the queen of Xiao Jin's death, and the queen was called recuperating in these years, and the high-quality tonic and body-tonifying decoction in the palace were sent to Zhaoyang Palace like water. Except for the initial time, the queen's body turned out to be quite healthy.
Wu Chuan didn't go to Zhaoyang Palace alone, he also brought the imperial doctor.
As a result, after Wu Chuan told Xiao Jin's matter, the queen was actually very calm.
"I see." When Wu Chuan came, the queen was standing at the table practicing calligraphy, and when she heard the news of Xiao Jin's death, the queen didn't even frown, but the wrist of the pen was stunned. "Stand down."
The queen said coldly, without raising her eyes, and continued to write with the movements of her hands.
"Yes, the minion will step back and not disturb the queen."
Compared with the calm queen, it was Xiao Jin's biological mother Qin Zhaoyi, after Emperor Liu's concubine went to her Tingzhu Palace and tactfully informed her of Xiao Jin's death, she vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
Everyone was startled, and Emperor Liu's concubine ordered someone to immediately invite the imperial doctor to treat Qin Zhaoyi.
Fortunately, Qin Zhaoyi's body was okay, and he gradually woke up after only half a moment.
However, for the sake of insurance, Emperor Liu still let the imperial doctor stay.
Early this morning, Emperor Liu's concubine also sent another imperial doctor to Zhaoyang Palace.
At the moment, the two imperial doctors came to talk back, and the imperial doctors from the Bamboo Palace said that Qin Zhaoyi's situation was still stable, and the imperial doctors who were sent to Zhaoyang Palace didn't even see the queen's face.
"The queen doesn't want to see people, just pay more attention to it when it's time to ask for peace this month." Concubine Liu Huang saw her daughter and grandson standing outside the hall, and waved her hand to let the imperial doctors retreat. "Qin Zhaoyi, you are taking care of it, if you need any medicines or supplements, you don't need to ask for instructions to use them directly, you must take care of her."
The two imperial doctors retreated, and Xiao Xuan walked in with Brother Min and Sister Su.
"Have you been to Lingyun Palace?" Emperor Liu's concubine affectionately hugged Brother Min and Sister Su, and looked at Xiao Xuan, who was sitting down by herself. "How is your father?"
"I came with my sister, and my father met his grandchildren, and it became better if it was not good." Xiao Xuan drank a cup of tea and said. "On the way over, I met the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law, and I heard that Qin Zhaoyi's mother was very sad to know the death of the second brother."
"yes, she fell ill yesterday when she found out the news." Concubine Liu Huang kissed Sister Su and said. Although she didn't grow up in front of her, after all, it was the child she conceived and gave birth to in October, how could it be possible not to be sad. But fortunately, the doctor went in time and took care of her wholeheartedly, and her condition was not too serious. ”
"Qin Zhaoyi's mother is so uncomfortable, what about the one in Zhaoyang Palace?" Xiao Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked. "The second brother was raised in Zhaoyang Palace as soon as he landed."
"I heard that the queen was very cold, and she didn't even ask about the cause of death, so she let Wu Chuan retreat." Emperor Liu said. "But for the sake of insurance, I still sent the imperial doctor over today, but I didn't even see the queen's face."
"How so?" Xiao Jin was a little surprised. "Even if the queen is not the biological mother of the second brother, she has been raised by her side for so many years, does the queen have no feelings for the second brother at all? Why didn't you even ask about the cause of the second brother's death? ”
"Who knows about her." Concubine Liu said indifferently. "You haven't been in the palace to see me for a while, so don't mention her."
"Hmm." When Xiao Xuan saw Emperor Liu's concubine say this, she naturally obediently diverted the topic. "I haven't been in the palace for a while, but now that Brother Min is studying in the palace school, doesn't he go back to his mother for lunch every day at noon?"
"I see Brother Min every day, but I can't see our Sister Min." Emperor Liu's concubine beckoned Baizhu to hurry up with some refreshments and fruits. "Sister Su is the fastest growing at this age, one day at a time."
"It's not that I don't want to enter the palace during this time." Xiao Xuan betrayed Sister Su. "It's not that the sixth brother sent a batch of fresh melons and fruits a while ago, and Sister Su was too greedy and had a stomach trouble for several days. The doctor said that she was young and had a weak stomach and needed to give birth for a while. She is greedy, mother, you have always spoiled her, where do I dare to take her into the palace, naturally I want to detain her in the house and raise her. ”
"You said that Sister Su is gluttonous, she is not like you, and you were not like this when you were a child." Emperor Liu said this, but she also quietly let Baizhu remove the melons and fruits from the table. "What's wrong with my spoiled granddaughter?"
Hearing Xiao Xuan mention her stomach trouble in the mansion a while ago, Sister Su was very embarrassed to hide in the arms of Emperor Liu's concubine and covered her little face.
Two months later, the eldest son of the Hu family returned to the imperial capital with Xiao Jin's coffin and a dozen or so carriages.
"Mother, is this the imperial capital?" Concubine He took her own daughters to sit in the first carriage headed by her, and the two girls crowded by the window, opened a corner of the curtain and looked out curiously.
"You two are obedient, sit down first." Concubine He was wearing a white dress, without any jewelry on her body, but a white velvet flower was inserted in her sideburns, she pulled her two daughters to sit down and instructed them. "In the future, you and I will live in the imperial capital for a long time, and we will have time to see the imperial capital."
"Are we going to live in the imperial capital?" Concubine He's eldest daughter tilted her head and asked. "Never going back?"
"yes, never going back." Concubine He nodded and said. "Do you remember the etiquette that your mother taught you on the road? When you get to the place, what do you do? ”
"I want to go with my mother to say hello to the princess and Concubine Liao," Concubine He's eldest daughter replied honestly, and after a while, she looked at her sister sitting next to her and added another sentence. "And I want to take my sister with me."
"Yes." Concubine He touched the heads of her two daughters and breathed a sigh of relief. "You not only have to be respectful to the princess and Concubine Liao, but there are also your brothers and sisters in the house, you must get along with them."
Concubine He thought about the future of her two daughters, and knew that returning to the imperial capital was the best choice for them.
The eldest son of the Hu family, as the son, has been determined to be the next Prince Jin.
After embarking on the road back to the imperial capital, Concubine He was thinking about how to rely on the Hu family. It must be that Hu is the biological mother of the next Prince Jin, and she is the old feudal monarch of the future palace. The upbringing and future that her daughters can get in the future need to be fought for by her.
The three of them were not the only ones who were brought back from the fiefdom, and the other people didn't know what Concubine He thought and didn't care, she just hoped that the two daughters could marry a good family in the future, and they could have a place to retire with peace of mind.
