Chapter 38 Tongchang Waiter

Although the news of the Empress Dowager's serious illness was much diluted by the death of Uncle Quqing, 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. According to Mrs. Wuying County, she was reluctant to give up the second daughter who was not originally exiled, so she asked Sun'er to accompany her aunt. There is also a response.

But people who know the Su family's grievances know that the Su family is to prevent it and leave a little blood first.

It seems that although You Eying is still in the limelight in the palace, the Su family has fallen behind.

King Gaoyang and the princess left Yedu, and the Qu family had no reason to pursue it. They could only be thanked by Qu Boyang, and Wei Liebo also submitted a fold in Yingzhou to praise the king's righteousness.

In this way, the Empress Dowager's condition began to worry the government and the opposition. Mrs. Mrs. Wuying County and Mrs. Rongchang County went to visit the palace and came out to say that the Empress Dowager was very ill this time. King Anping, King Guangling and Princess Xuanning all took turns to serve the bed. Even Princess Wen cried in public several times and said that she had no way to teach her son and called King Gaoyang. It was more than enough to be exiled to serve the soup in front of her mother-in-law - no matter how reluctant Princess Bo was, she had to bring Princess Tongchang to the Heyi Hall.

When they arrived, Mrs. Wuying County and Mrs. Rongchang County, as well as the King of Guangling and Princess Xuanning were all there. The Empress Dowager Gao was surrounded on the couch, her forehead was strangled with her forehead, and her face was gray. She was really sick. Her voice was weakly polite and said faintly, "Why are you here?"

Princes Bo did not dare to neglect: "If I go back to the empress dowager, I heard that the empress dowager was not in good health. Originally, I was afraid that I would disturb her, so I didn't dare to come. In the past few days, I have seen many visitors before I dared to come and have a look."

added, "Tongchang is also very worried about the empress dowager. He has been praying for the empress dowager in Rusu these days."

She mentioned that Princess Tongchang was also to please the empress dowager. Unfortunately, this made the empress dowager more offend the empress dowager a little more - when she was the late emperor, because she felt that she had not been living for a long time after she ascended the throne, she privately sighed in front of the Empress Dowager Gao and the Empress Dowager Bo. Princess Bo first said that she regarded her food as a blessing to be the first emperor. When Empress Dowager Gao did this later, she was a step slower. Although the late emperor didn't say anything, Empress Dowager Gao was always unhappy.

Now that my heart is more hateful, I say lurely, "How can this work? Tongchang is still young. Now it's time to grow up. It's time to take supplements. Unexpectedly, he became a vegetarian. He knew that she was young and ignorant, and what he didn't know was treated as a princess in the palace!"

Princess Bo felt aggrieved, but she also knew that it was not the time for the former emperor. In addition, the two ladies in the hall, an eldest princess and the king of Guangling had a bad impression of their mother and daughter. No one gave her any steps down this time. Princess Xuanning even turned her head and whispered and laughed with Mrs. Wuying County.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Is it my concubine who did something wrong? After all, the Empress Dowager is kind and distressed for Tongchang!"

"I don't know how long the mother of Ai's family can live. Now she is just living every day. How can you, a biological mother, not do her best?" Empress Dowager Gao said out of breath, which immediately cut off Princess Bo's plan to talk about Princess Tongchang's lifelong affairs when she planned to visit today - the Empress Dowager's mother was so ill that she could talk about life and death. Unless the Empress Dowager Gao mentioned it herself, who would mention Princess Tongchang's marriage at this critical moment and said that she could Do you listen?

Princess Bo hurriedly said, "It's all my concubine's life!" He brought out a trace of choking and said, "The empress dowager has always been a blessed person. Now she has only been sick by chance, and she must be able to get well soon. Such a confused person as a concubine doesn't know how to raise Tongchang at all. Tongchang expects the empress dowager to feel pain. The empress dowager is far from her, and she will definitely be her for a long time."

In her heart, Princess Bo doesn't want the Empress Dowager Gao to get sick or get sick. Princess Tongchang is also 16 years old now, and the marriage has not been settled so far. Empress Dowager Gao is the princess's serious mother and the empress dowager of a country. If she dies at this time, she will be filial for three years - Ji Shen is such a royal brother and a relative of the Empress Dowager Gao. If you have a child, will you still take care of your sister's marriage? During the period of filial piety, the minister can't mention the princess's marriage, can he?

Although the actual filial piety was 27 months, it was also more than two years old. At that time, the princess was 18 years old, and Princess Bo was very clear that the Empress Dowager Gao hated her mother and daughter very much, but the Empress Dowager still cares about her reputation. If the Empress Dowager Gao later decided to marry Princess Tongchang, it would not be much worse. The Empress Dowager always wanted her. The praise of virtue, but Ji Shen is different. This gentleman doesn't even care about the scolding of Qingshi. What's wrong with treating a half-sister?

If he is not urged, he may be surrounded by palace concubines to forget this matter. If he is urged, he will find someone to marry Tongchang - according to Princess Bo's understanding of Ji Shen, he can definitely do such a thing!

Therefore, what she said was extremely sincere, but the Empress Dowager Gao really hated her. Naturally, it was impossible for such words to impress the Empress Dowager. She still said coldly, "My family is getting older. One day later, although she has the heart, she is also powerless. You can take her back to Hongshou Palace and live a good life. Originally, Tongchang It's time to choose a son-in-law, but the Ai family is useless now, and people are confused. I'm afraid they can't choose anything good. Instead, they have wronged the young daughter of the former emperor! Fortunately, she is not very big. It is natural for the royal princess to enjoy more years of happiness. Let's slow down.

Princess Bo hurriedly said, "What did the Empress Dowager say?" Although the empress dowager is so sick, she is still in good spirits. It must be just a little rash! However, Tongchang is just a concubine. How can she be more noble than the eldest princess? The Empress Dowager can choose a family for her at will. How dare she bother the Empress Dowager?

She is worried about her daughter and wants to force the Empress Dowager Gao to decide the matter, so that even if the Empress Dowager Gao really goes and the son-in-law has been settled, Ji Shen can't stop her sister from marrying, can she? It's a long time of filial piety... Who dares to leave the princess who has decided to marry another?!

But the Empress Dowager Gao had been prepared for a long time and did not give her this opportunity at all. She immediately coughed. Mrs. Wu Yingjun patted her sister on the back, slanted the corners of her eyes, and said slowly, "It is said that in front of the empress dowager and the imperial concubine, our foreign wife should not talk much, but the imperial concubine also saw that the empress dowager is now sick. Awesome, I was still lying down just now. I heard that you and Princess Tongchang came here and got up to say a few words with you. It was also because you had never come here. Today, the Empress Dowager suddenly came. The Empress Dowager thought that she was unhappy in the Hongshou Palace and was worried that you would be treated badly! Now that the Empress Dowager has survived such a situation, it is really boring. According to me, the imperial concubine should talk about the marriage of Princess Tongchang another day. The princess is not an old woman now. If there is another word of the imperial concubine, it is easy to say, that ordinary women always need to have their wives again and again when they come out of the cabinet, not to mention Jinzhi Yuye? The imperial concubine doesn't care about her own daughter, but the Empress Dowager is worried about missing what the late emperor asked!"

Mrs. Wuyingjun has always been strong. Although Princess Bo saw her for the first time and her identity was higher than her, she couldn't say anything for a long time. However, Princess Tongchang couldn't bear her biological mother to be wronged for herself and said timidly, "Mother, my son is now I don't want to get married yet."

Hearing her words, Princess Bo was shocked and listened to Princess Tongchang continue, "The mother is seriously ill, and the minister should serve the bed. How can she mention the marriage? I still want my mother to complete it!"

Princess Bo was relieved when she heard this and quickly thought about it - the Empress Dowager Gao is a very face-to-faced person. If not, after the former emperor left, she and Tongchang's two foreign arguments could not compare with the Empress Dowager Gao. Even if she was tossed to death in this deep palace, what could she do?

In terms of the mother, the empress dowager is sick. As a concubine's daughter, Princess Tongchang really deserves to serve before her illness. Now, in addition to the king of Gaoyang and Princess Tongchang, hasn't the three sons and one daughter of the Empress Dowager Gao been serving in turn?

Of course, it is impossible for Princess Tongchang to come to serve like King Anping and Princess Xuanning. She only need to worry about the condition of Empress Dowager Gao. The Empress Dowager Gao wants to be virtuous and famous, and may not condone the people of the Summer Palace to embarrass Princess Tongchang in private. However, if Princess Tongchang has the reputation of serving her mother with all her heart, she will say that it is high The Empress Dowager can't treat her badly. What's more, Wan Chang serves the Empress Dowager with all her heart and let go, which is always a good thing for the princess...

Thinking about this, Princess Bo quickly followed: "My concubine just said that she was confused, isn't she confused? The concubine is thinking about the Empress Dowager Fuze Yuanhou. Occasionally, she must get well immediately. Unexpectedly, she forgot that serving the Empress Dowager was a matter of course with the concubine and Tongchang!"

The Empress Dowager Gao closed her eyes and did not answer, but this time it was the eldest princess Xuanning who spoke. She said lightly, "You have the heart, but after she went from her father, the mother has been used to living here and the palace, and she doesn't like many people coming to quarrel with her."

This is the dislike of Princess Bo in front of her. Princess Bo has always been a little afraid of Princess Xuanning. When the former emperor was there, the most indulgent was Princess Bo and Princess Xuanning. At that time, because Tongchang was still young, the former emperor loved Princess Xuanning very much, and even personally instructed her to ride and control when hunting. The skill of string, even the king of Anping and the king of Guangling did not care about the eldest princess.

Because of the enmity between Princess Bo and the Empress Dowager Gao, Princess Xuanning was very disgusted by this concubine. When the late emperor was there, she was only willing to call her position and refused to call her a mother concubine. Although the late emperor scolded Princess Xuanning several times for this, the eldest princess Xuanning insisted, but the late emperor was reluctant to blame her deeply. Princess Bo was often called by this eldest princess. She lost face in public and couldn't attack. Now when I heard her say so openly that she was in the way, she didn't dare to attack. Her face turned red and white for a moment. After a long time, she put up with it and reluctantly smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, the eldest princess, but I dare not annoy the empress dowager here, but Tongchang is always the daughter of the empress dowager, for How can a child and mother be sick on the bed? After saying that, Tongchang will also be scolded as unfilial. Let's ask the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess to read Tongchang with filial piety and reward her a chance to fulfill her for filial piety!"

These words were desolate and patient and wronged. Princess Tongchang couldn't help lowering her head and blinking a drop of water on her eyelashes.

The Empress Dowager Gao said tiredly, "That's all. If you want Tongchang to stay, just stay."

Princess Bo breathed a sigh of relief for fear that she would suddenly regret or be stopped by someone next to her, so she quickly pulled Tongchang to kneel down Xie En together.

Princes Xuanning said coldly, "Since my mother has promised you, let's go back to Hongshou Palace to clean up first. Let Song Xianren and Tongchang clean up the room and come out to live here."

"Since you are here to serve the Empress Dowager, why do you have to deal with it?" Princess Bo said gratefully, "Just find a crooked couch."

....................................................................

When Princess Bo and Princess Tongchang left the palace, Empress Dowager Gao immediately sneered and said to the humanity that accompanied her: "In the past, the mourning family was most disgusted with the patient appearance of this bitch. They looked aggrieved when they had nothing to do. The mourning family casually said something, as if they had treated her badly, but now they are more and more tolerant. It's patience!"

Princes Xuanning said, "Actually, why does the mother have to stay in Tongchang to serve? There is no shortage of people here, which is annoying in front of you!"

Only Mrs. Wu Yingjun knew about the Empress Dowager Gao pretending to be ill. Although Princess Xuanning's eldest princess was the only daughter, the eldest princess did things simply. The most impatient thing was indecision. Empress Dowager Gao was afraid that she would say that she would look forward, so she did not make it clear to her. At this moment, after listening to the eldest princess's words, she sighed. "There is no one more than her. If she wants to come here to win a filial name, just come here."

While talking, the mother and daughter saw Mrs. Wuying County staring out of the window with a sad look. The Empress Dowager Gao and Princess Xuanning had not noticed, but Mrs. Rongchang County saw it. Although there was a gap between Mrs. Wuying County and her mother's family because of the matter of Gao Eleven Niang, Gao Eleven was not born to Mrs. Rongchang County, but The relationship between her niece, Mrs. Rongchang County and Mrs. Wuying County has always been good, so she secretly pulled her sleeves and whispered, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Mrs. Wuyingjun was shocked and quickly restrained her look and said, "I'm thinking about Yi Niang!"

Su Jiayi, the princess of Gaoyang, must follow the king of Gaoyang to Baling City, a bitter cold place in the northwest and exiled. Mrs. Rongchang County no longer doubted and sighed and comforted her, "Although the northwest is bitter cold, the king of Gaoyang is still the king and your majesty's brother-in-law. Feihewei will not be rude to them. Besides, your majesty did not say anything. How long will it take to be exile? Maybe it won't take long to come back.

Because Mrs. Wu Yingjun mentioned her second daughter to cover it up, Mrs. Rongchang County was also aroused her concern and worry about her daughter. While the Empress Dowager Gao didn't pay attention, she whispered, "Fu Niang now lives in her mother's house and refuses to return to the palace... I refuse to enter the palace during the New Year Festival, I am also worried! The children are all in debt, and we are always annoyed. Slowly persuade them to help.

This made Mrs. Wu Yingjun almost burst into tears on the spot and quickly put up with it.
