"How many are these?" The crown princess Wu flicked the dust that did not exist on her fingers, and asked the female official below in a nonchalant tone, and then raised her fingers, quite leisurely. It's just that her face is gray, and even if she is surrounded by pearls and hairpins, she doesn't see much gorgeous complexion.

This tone of indifference, as if she was asking about just an ordinary person, or what the weather was like today, was really strangely indifferent. If it weren't for her clothes revealing her identity, no one would have heard from the tone that she was the crown princess!

"It's the eighth." After listening to the princess's question, the female official replied, her voice a little heavy and a little compassionate. Yesterday, another dead palace maid was brought out of the prince's bedroom, and this is the eighth one brought out this year! Every once in a while, the palace maid in the prince's bedroom will be replaced, and this female official also knows what is going on. These rising death toll are frustrating for female officials.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, they were all people who served the master, and she felt sorry for the palace maid. The prince has become more and more debaucherous and cruel over the years, and he doesn't know what he thinks, so he asked the female officials and chamberlains to take turns to serve him, and also asked the palace maids to perform in front of him! If you are a little unsatisfied, you will kill the palace maid and the chamberlain, this is the eighth! The female officer couldn't help but gasp when she thought of those scary props in the prince's bedroom! Those props are a huge disaster for the attendants and maids of the East Palace, when will these disasters come to an end?

The crown prince and the crown princess have not slept together for a long time, and the female official is not too worried about her own safety. It's just that the palace maids in the prince's mansion are replaced so quickly, sooner or later they will be discovered by the queen mother, the emperor and others, the prince is weak and cruel, if this continues, will the crown princess be implicated? And with the appearance of the prince, what else does the princess have to live?

The female official was originally the maidservant used by the crown princess in her mother's house, and with the princess coming to the East Palace to become a female official, she has always been a female official used by the crown princess, and she can speak in front of the crown princess. Over the years, she has been accustomed to all kinds of evil things in the East Palace, no matter in which aspect, her feelings for the crown princess are much deeper than those for the crown prince, and she is more worried about it, and she is also the crown princess.

"Alive? What else does Hongu need to live? What else can survive? It's just waiting for death. Crown Princess Wu listened to the female official's worries and felt a little funny. The female official's worries are completely unnecessary in the eyes of the crown princess, even if the prince is not absurd and cruel, she is like that, what way can she live? Food and clothing are worry-free, rich and glorious, this is the crown princess, this is her best ending, what are you worried about so much?!

The crown princess, the future queen, such an honor is something that many people crave but can't get, but the Wu family doesn't care much about this title at the moment, but deeply resents this title! She resented that Emperor Changtai had pointed her out to the crown prince Shangguan Ruchu as a concubine, and she resented why her father and family wanted to marry her into this place of death, so that she could live a life that was worse than death but she couldn't worry or complain!

But what she resented the most was why she was fascinated by this glory and wealth in the first place, and failed to muster up the courage to resist the family and did not follow him, so that she regretted it day by day for the rest of her life......

Now, she is wearing a valuable headdress sent by the Shaofu Supervisor, wearing the latest exquisite brocade cut out by the Shangyi Bureau, and even the spittoon next to her feet is made of pure gold, which is worth the income of ordinary people for many years! There are gains and losses, this luxurious and noble life, the price paid is the possibility of losing children and grandchildren, and the love of husband and wife!

Children and grandchildren around the knees? She remembered Shangguan Ruchu's thing and sneered again. No matter how much he tosses, he will never be able to give birth to a child in his life! Husband and wife love? What's that word? She thought of Shangguan Ruchu's cruelty and impermanence, she couldn't wait to stay away from him, it was best not to see him, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal, it was just the words in the book.

After the initial resentment passed, Wu's heart also died, and now no matter what Shangguan Ruchu did, no matter what happened to the prince's mansion, she could treat nature. Mourning is greater than the heart not dying, and the body is dead, and now her heart is dead, what else is there to care about?!

"He doesn't have many days left, and the emperor is becoming more and more indulgent to him, even if he knows these ridiculous things about him, he will not abolish his position as the crown prince, but there is no need to worry." At the end, Wu said to the female officer, and flicked the non-existent dust on the armor again.

Earlier, in order to appease the pain of Concubine Mu's loss, Emperor Changtai ordered the funeral of the ten princes to be handled according to the funeral of the adult prince, and ordered the ancestral department under the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for the funeral matters, and also gave the ten princes a title, called "Jia", good appearance Jia, virtue and goodness Jia, it can be seen how deep Emperor Changtai remembers the ten princes!

With the title, in this way, the specifications of the funeral of the ten princes are much higher, the ten princes are not yet the year of the crown, it is considered an early death, and there is a set of corresponding funeral etiquette, the practice of Emperor Changtai is not in line with the etiquette system, in the past, the officials of Taichang and the Ministry of Officials can argue endlessly for a word, but the strange thing is that the officials of the Taichang Temple and the Ancestral Department did not raise objections, and even the courtiers and princes were silent.

The princes don't talk about it, the young ones can't speak, and the older ones like Shangguan Changzhi and so on don't matter, everyone is dead, what's the use of more praise, it's better to be generous; The courtiers, thinking that these are all trivial matters, and Yu Chao and the country have no impact, so they don't want to disobey Emperor Changtai's will for this trivial matter; The officials of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites have a tacit understanding, they have their own little abacus, and seeing that the prince's body is not improving, they will take the funeral of the ten princes as a practice, so as not to panic and make mistakes when they get it, and this good opportunity really can't wait.

By the time the officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy with the funeral of the tenth prince, it was already the beginning of October. At the beginning of October, there was good news in front of the stage, Shen Huashan took Xu Youzhen to survey the detailed terrain in front of the stage, under the brainstorming, Xu Youzhen put forward the three policies of the water gate, the expenditure river, and the dredging river, with the strong support of Shen Huashan, the first phase of the water gate work is now underway, and the work of water control has achieved initial results, and the good news has been reported to the Changtai Emperor.

Emperor Changtai is naturally overjoyed, the canal and river will be repaired one day earlier, and other matters such as Cao Yun will be able to get on the right track one day earlier, it seems that it is a correct decision to send Shen Huashan to the front of the stage, the emperor is very happy, and he called three times in a row, after the death of the tenth prince and the miscarriage of Concubine Mu, there is finally a great news.

Not only did Emperor Changtai reward the Shen family and Shen Zejing, but even **, there was a will on this day, and the queen Jiang summoned the daughters of the Shen family to meet in the palace, which was not only a full affirmation of Shen Hua's good governance of water, but also showed the emperor's grace.
