Chapter 306, The Empress Dowager Died

Jiang Yongfu said embarrassedly: "Long live, you forgot that this was sent by Wang Xuanshi this morning."

Xuan Chengyi smiled and said, "The chef in Wang's palace is very skilled, please transfer to Changqiu Palace!"

Wei Jiashu sweated, "That... should have been made by Wang himself."

Jiang Yongfu also nodded quickly: "Yes, Wang Xuanshi did say that these snacks were made by her own cooking."

Xuan Chengyi was a little surprised, and then smiled and said to Wei Jiashu: "It's okay. If Jiashu likes it, I'll just ask Mrs. Wang to do it for you in the future."

Wei Jiashu waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, she is too sticky, I can't bear it!" - Although she likes delicious food, if she gets entangled by Wang for a snack, it would be too unworthy.

Xuan Chengyi was stunned: "Mrs. Wang? Why is it sticky?"

Wei Jiashu sighed, "When she was a member of Quanpin's palace, she often crossed Quanpin and came to curry favor with me. That's why Quanpin asked her to move out. Now, she has been attached to the Concubine Li again, and the Concubine Li is very annoyed about this."

Xuan Chengyi suddenly thought that in the summer, it seemed that Wang made some very rough socks for Jiashu... He thought Wang was clumsy, but he didn't expect that his cooking skills were pretty good.

If concubines in the palace want to be favored, they must have one or two unique skills that can be used, such as Yu Meiren's piano sound, Chen Xuanshi's girl red, and Wang Xuanshi's cooking skills.

In the 22nd year of Tianze, Chen and Wang respectively promoted to the position of Caiwo. Although Yu Meiren was even more favored, she was not given a title again because she was not pregnant.

The situation in the harem was quite stable, but the previous dynasty was constantly in turmoil. First, the prince was scolded by the emperor, the officials of the Eastern Palace were dismissed by the emperor, and a new person was replaced. The inner prisoner around the prince was also stabbed by the emperor to kill several people because of instigating the crown prince. Then there was the He family. The prince's uncle, Cheng'en Hou, He Zhang, was impeached by the censor for accepting bribes. Prince Jin and Prince Shun's wife and mother tribe also took the opportunity to attack. For a time, the He family was in danger.

In the end, Cheng'en Hou He Zhang lost the official hat of the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, expelled from the cabinet by the emperor, and demoted to Shanxi as the governor.

Well, the governor is actually a second-rank senior official!

But for the He family, he lost a cabinet minister and stayed away from the capital's rights center, which was equivalent to breaking the prince's arm.

This is what the emperor said before.

In the 22nd year of Tianze, Chen Cainu met with happiness. Under the care of the chief concubine Qian, she successfully gave birth to a prince. The mother and son were safe, and Chen's mother also became a talented person with her son.

Wei Jiashu's little Ayou is already five years old and moved to the prince's office in early autumn to officially enroll.

Wei Jiashu was a little lost for a while and then felt relieved. It was actually a good thing for the children to grow up day by day.

Ayou is well-behaved and sensible, and was arranged by the emperor to live next door to Ayou's palace, so the two brothers can take care of each other.

Ayou's personality is not as lively as Ayou, and he doesn't study much, so his studies are mediocre. However, both the emperor and her mother are very tolerant of Ayou's, and several gentlemen have to pinch their noses and continue to teach this passive and lazy student.

The prince is noble and cannot be beaten or scolded, which is also a headache for the gentlemen.

In fact, it is better to teach the prince to study. The most unlucky one is that the gentlemen who teach the prince to study go to teach students every day and have to kneel down and bow down. Whenever the prince makes any mistakes, the emperor will immediately question the East Palace to give lectures. It is really sad.

However, Wei Jiashu felt that the more tragic one was the Crown Princess. In order to give birth to the legitimate grandson, the Crown Princess pinched her nose and had a good time with the Crown Princess for a while. Unfortunately, the Crown Princess only gave birth to a little princess.

The prince was very dissatisfied with this and felt that the princess was too unsophisticated, so he threw himself into the arms of all kinds of Yingyingyan. In the past two years, he had a concubine's son and biological mother... Wei Jiashu didn't care who it was.

But occasionally I would meet the princess and her little princess. Princess Shen was as dignified and peaceful as ever. It was really useless to have a man like the prince.

Prince Jin and Prince Wu were increasingly trusted by the emperor. The emperor asked Prince Jin to supervise the Ministry of War and Prince Cheng to supervise the Ministry of Rites, which gave these two sons the confidence to challenge the prince.

In addition, the He family of the prince's mother tribe was suppressed by the emperor and the prince was declining, so naturally his temper became more and more irritable. I heard that there were often palace maids and eunuchs in the East Palace who were often beaten to death and injured countless times.

Alas, she always felt that the emperor was pushing the prince into madness little by little.

Although the prince's nature is really bad, the emperor's father is indeed a bit scumbag.

The emperor valued the prince so much in his early years, and even did not allow concubines of high birth to be pregnant.

But now...

But what does this have to do with her?

Her children grow up day by day, and her lifespan is also decreasing day by day.

As long as her children don't get involved in the battle for the throne, she has nothing to worry about.

This winter, the empress dowager was seriously ill. After counting, she found that the old lady was over 60 years old and had not been very healthy over the years. Now it seems that the deadline is coming.

Although this old lady is a little feudal and rigid, she is still quite amiable. Especially when it comes to princes and princesses, she treats them as their grandchildren.

Even Princess Jingyu, who was born by the Virtue, was still sick and chose a child of a noble family with outstanding character in advance. She could get married when she was fifteen years old.

This year, the Empress Dowager passed away suddenly in the cold winter.

Although Wei Jiashu did not look like his mother died, at least he could shed a few real tears when he cried.

In fact, there were many concubines in the harem who were really sad about the death of the empress dowager. Needless to say, Concubine Quan cried several times, and Concubine Li was also red and swollen in her eyes.

Perhaps only the imperial concubine was secretly happy that the old lady who always liked to find fault with her finally returned.

Wei Jiashu mourned for seven days and was really tired. When she returned to Changqiu Palace, she rested for three days before finally recovering.

Alas, this body is getting worse and worse.

In response to this, the emperor couldn't help but complain: "I've told you a long time ago. Just go and meet the scene a little, why hold on for seven days?"

Wei Jiashu smiled bitterly. Can you avoid being lazy in such a thing?

"Even the Imperial Concubine has never slacked off, how can I be lazy?" Although the Imperial Concubine was afraid of being criticized for being unfilial, she had to hold on for seven days.

The imperial concubine's body was not much better than hers. After seven days of mourning, she fell ill and is now said to be coughing all day long.

"Fortunately, I don't have to take care of the palace affairs, otherwise I will be exhausted." She really admired Concubine Cheng and Concubine Jin. While handling the Queen Mother's funeral, she mourned her while taking time to deal with trivial palace affairs. Oh, by the way, she also has to prepare for the New Year.
