The prince is indeed very satisfied with his daughter-in-law.
I am filial to my elders, considerate and capable. My belly is also very good. I gave birth to a pair of healthy and lovely twins, and now I am pregnant again.
Yuan Min responded softly, not being pushy, and sat down carefully.
The Crown Princess did not stand up to salute, but smiled at the Prince and said, "Your Highness has been very busy these days. Brother Jin and Sister Tang are both thinking about their grandfather."
The prince had strict requirements for his son Zhu Yun, and had been disciplined harshly since he was a child. He was much kinder to his pair of lovely grandchildren. He came over with a smile and held the pair of children in his arms.
Brother Jin was so bold that he reached out and grabbed the prince's short beard.
Zhu Yun, the great grandson on the side, was startled and immediately stopped him: "Brother Jin, let go quickly, don't mess around."
The prince glanced at Zhu Yun: "Why are you making such a loud noise? Don't scare Brother Jin."
Zhu Yun: "..."
Zhu Yun could only touch his nose and shut his mouth.
The princess smiled and scolded the prince: "Your Highness loves your grandson, so don't be cruel to your son!"
His Royal Highness the Prince immediately smiled and said: "I just said it casually, how can I be too harsh on him?"
His Majesty, the Crown Prince, who is growing in majesty, has always been gentle in front of the Crown Princess.
The family chatted and joked for a while, and then went about their business. The prince, grandson and his son were going to the Jinluan Palace for a small court meeting, while the prince's concubine, grandson's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to handle palace affairs.
The prince was about to leave when the princess suddenly said: "Your Highness, please leave Shen You behind! I have something to ask him!"
The prince was a little surprised and glanced at the princess: "What's wrong?"
"He led the army and left Beijing for half a year, and he took half a month's leave when he came back." The princess said, "I haven't seen him for so long, and I feel a little worried about him. I'll lend him half a day to talk."
The Crown Princess opened her mouth, but the Crown Prince had no objection.
The prince nodded briefly and called Shen You in.
Shen You concealed his surprise and bowed his hands to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Without courtesy, come closer and let me have a look." She then urged the Crown Prince with a smile: "Isn't Your Highness going to attend a small court meeting? Why haven't you left yet?"
The prince smiled and left together with his grandson.
Yuan Min also stood up and led Brother Jin and Sister Tang away.
The side hall suddenly became quiet.
The Crown Princess never liked beating around the bush. After everyone left, her smile faded slightly and she looked at Shen You: "Shen You, your mother is seriously ill, do you know?"
Sure enough, it was because of Jiang.
The unspeakable gloom and depression surged up in Shen You's heart, and he replied in a low voice: "Go back to the Crown Princess, I know."
The Crown Princess's concern for Jiang was not an act. Over the years, she often sent Hongyu to the Qiu family to deliver things, all to support Jiang.
This time Jiang was seriously ill, and the Crown Princess was very concerned about it. She sent Hongyu there once. Today she specially called Shen You over.
"Have you ever visited the Qiu family?" the princess asked.
Shen You was silent for a moment and replied: "No."
The Crown Princess immediately frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her tone: "Jiang's remarried, it's really inconvenient for you to go to Qiu's house. Jiang was doing well before, so it didn't matter whether you went or not. Now Jiang has been ill for several months.
You, my son, why don’t you go and take a look? No matter how bad Jiang is, she is still your mother!"
No matter how many things she has, she is still your mother.
Such a simple sentence deeply hurt Shen You's heart.
This is an unbroken blood relationship, and it is also a pain that he must bear.
Shen You raised his head and looked at the Crown Princess: "Crown Princess, the gap between Mrs. Qiu and I cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences."
The Crown Princess grimaced: "Oh? I just have time today, please tell me in detail. I would like to hear what is the reason that makes you, a son, indifferent to your mother."
Shen You: "..."
Boiling blood surged up and down in my heart.
Shen You pursed his thin lips tightly and suddenly knelt down to apologize: "My dear, please forgive me. I don't want to say it."
Princess: "..."
It was rare for the Crown Princess to be choked by someone. Apart from being angry, doubts also surfaced.
Shen You has been working as an errand in Prince Yan's Mansion since he was fifteen years old, and it has been four years this year. He is silent, loyal and capable, and is deeply trusted and used by the prince.
In the past two years or so, Shen You has often been sent out to lead troops, and has repeatedly made military exploits. Now he is a fourth-grade imperial guard. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, the position of commander of the emperor's personal guards will belong to Shen You.
The Crown Princess has always liked Shen You. Not only because Shen You is outstanding, but also because she pities Shen You who lost his father and remarried when he was young.
The Crown Princess had not seen Shen You alone many times, and this was the first time she "experienced" Shen You's stubbornness.
"Jiang had no choice but to abandon you and remarry back then." The Crown Princess slowed down her tone and spoke as gently as if she were talking to her nephew: "I can't blame you for the resentment in your heart."
"Now that you have grown up, married a wife, and started a family, it is time to let go of the estrangement in the past. If nothing else, Jiang's disease is so bad that you, my biological son, are not even willing to visit the doctor. This is what others say. , I don’t know how much gossip it will cause.”
"When Xiu Mu is gone, you go to the Qiu family and take a look at her. Just pretend to show it to outsiders. Also, give support to Jiang, so that the Qiu family won't take advantage of her illness to despise and bully her."
Shen You remained silent.
The meaning of rejection is very obvious.
The Crown Princess was used to having her way, but she had never met someone as tough as Shen You, so she frowned again.
Shen You didn't speak, and the Crown Princess didn't know what to say for a moment. The side hall was quiet.
"You get up first." The Crown Princess frowned and said, "I'm talking to you, and I don't mean to blame you."
Shen You stood up as instructed, thanked the Crown Princess for her kindness, and then closed his mouth again.
The side hall became quiet again.
"Come here, call Hongyu over." The Crown Princess suddenly opened her mouth and ordered.
Yuan Min was pregnant and could not work too hard. The Crown Princess felt sorry for her daughter-in-law and specially lent the red jade to Yuan Min for a while. At this time, the Crown Princess opened her mouth to call, and immediately some palace servants took the order and left, and quickly ran to deliver the message.
After a stick of incense, Hongyu arrived.
When Hongyu saw that Shen You was also there, she felt a little surprised. She kept her face calm and stepped forward to salute: "Hongyu has met the Crown Princess. The Queen is in such a hurry to summon the servants. What orders do you have?"
The Crown Princess said with a straight face: "You should go to Qiu's house now, see how Mrs. Qiu is doing, and send her some supplements."
The master is also very kind.
That shameless white-eyed wolf, what's there to worry about?
Hong Yu secretly cursed in her heart, and responded softly: "Yes, I will go now."
The Crown Princess glanced at Shen You and said calmly: "Guard Shen, you go to Qiu Mansion with Hong Yu."
This is not a gentle consolation from the elders to the younger ones, but an errand ordered by the Crown Princess to the guards of the East Palace.
Shen You couldn't refuse, so he had to respond: "Yes."
