The queen also obediently agreed. The queen mother's eyes fell on the prince and others beside her. However, she still said the same words as before, asking them to get along well with their brothers and sisters and help each other. The prince added, "Listen to your father.
If so, Dajin will be left to you and your son from now on."
Then the Queen Mother began to divide her dowry, which was actually her own private property.
The Queen Mother is still very rich. Not to mention that she is from the Dou family, she brought a lot of dowry when she got married. When the late emperor was in urgent need of military supplies when he conquered the world, she almost spent all the dowry to support her husband. Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, she slowly gave away the dowry to
She made it up.
Every time the emperor conquered a city, some rare treasures were brought in, and some of the children went out to fight and collected good things. Many of them were kept for her at that time.
Later, she gave a lot to Prince Gong and went back to the treasury and the emperor's private treasury, but she still had a lot of things left.
Not to mention the rare treasures that fill the warehouse, there are also many farm buildings and mountain villas under his name.
As early as when she was getting heavier and knew that her time was running out, the Queen Mother began to think about how to divide this inheritance.
This year she spent a lot of money doing charity at Huguo Temple and Xuandu Temple, but it was all cash and grain. She didn't want to divide those things, so she said directly: "The cash in the warehouse is
, and all the grain in Zhuangzi’s warehouse will be given to Your Majesty and the Queen.”
She vaguely knew that the emperor was short of money and the treasury was not very wealthy.
"The Ai family has already divided the other things."
After saying that, she turned to look at the eldest maid on the side. The eldest maid immediately handed over several thick books. Each book was unfolded and there were densely packed names. Some names were crossed out. The Queen Mother said: "This is the Ai family."
Over the past year, I have deleted and deleted everything that has been deleted, and the things that have been crossed out are those that are used by the Ai family or have other uses. After I leave, you can just take the booklet and divide them."
The eldest maid distributed the booklets to everyone, including the prince, Prince Gong, Princess Mingda and Princess Yunfeng. Princess Yunfeng had two books.
She said: "One share is for Xinqing. I can't see the child anymore. Let Yunfeng send his share to him."
Everyone should get down.
Then the Queen Mother said to the emperor: "The things in this palace are all things that the Ai family is used to. If you want to keep what you want to think about, just pick and keep it yourself. The rest will be buried with you."
The emperor also became sad at this time, "Mother..."
The Queen Mother waved her hand, not wanting to see him cry, she was afraid that she couldn't help it either.
She looked at the eldest maid on the side, and the eldest maid stepped back. After a while, the maids and chamberlains filed in, either carrying boxes or holding boxes.
These are some of the things that the Queen Mother picked out to leave to her descendants. Except for the princes who got the book, everyone has them. Even the concubines and grandchildren who are not familiar to her and have no blood relationship with her are also there.
After all, the child born to her concubine is also her grandson, right?
Chang Yu’s was the biggest among them. The box the two of them carried out was full of jewelry that the Queen Mother had selected and thought was suitable for Chang Yu. After opening it, there were layers of things, including a dark whip.
Chang Yu quietly opened it and was shocked when he saw it.
The Queen Mother did not pay attention, her eyes stayed on the faces of Mingda and Yunfeng, and earnestly warned: "Mingda is too thin, you need to eat more. It will not be easy for you to grow up. It will be better to be stronger in the future."
Then he said to Yunfeng: "You are a good boy. Grandma knows that you are filial. From now on, you must listen to your uncle and get along well with your sisters, be filial to your parents-in-law, and get along well with the county horses."
Princess Yunfeng cried and agreed.
While he was talking, the luxurious meal in the royal dining room that the emperor ordered for his mother was delivered. The queen mother had no appetite at this time, so she frowned and looked at the table of food without saying anything.
The emperor immediately said: "If the queen mother doesn't like her son, let someone replace her."
The Queen Mother paused and slowly shook her head, "Forget it, just eat some."
The emperor stretched out his hand and helped the queen mother to sit on the table.
Man Bao smelled the fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose and couldn't help but quietly raised his head and glanced over there.
To be honest, she often ate in the palace, and even dined at the same table with the emperor and empress, but never had the food been so good, smelled so fragrant, and looked so delicious.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother's appetite is very average. After picking up a piece of food with her chopsticks, she didn't really want to eat it.
Man Bao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but glance at Dr. Xiao and Dr. Liu.
The two of them met her eyes and wanted her to be quiet and stop looking for trouble.
The quarrel between the three people happened to be seen by Prince Gong, who was being carried one step behind. He immediately asked: "Zhou Man, what do you have to say?"
Doctor Liu and Doctor Xiao: ...Did Prince Gong have corns? They were standing close to the wall with their heads half lowered and winking. Why could he see it?
But Man Bao stared at Prince Gong who was sitting and being carried forward, thinking, because he is short, wouldn't he just be able to see them just by staring at them?
Everyone turned to look at them. Man Bao stepped forward without changing his expression and said, "I might give it a try to make the empress have a better appetite."
The emperor also wanted his mother to go away more comfortably. She fell asleep last night, which meant that she had not eaten all day and night.
Although the Queen Mother had a distinguished status, the Emperor still felt that there was a difference between walking when he was full and walking when he was hungry, so before the Queen Mother could speak, the Emperor immediately asked Zhou Man to step forward.
He was still thinking about whether they were going to withdraw. Who knew that Zhou Man stepped forward and picked up the Queen Mother's hand, took out a short needle and inserted it into her tiger's mouth, twisted it lightly, and then held her hand and stretched it out.
Straight, he slid his thumb on her arm and gently pressed several acupuncture points on her arm through her clothes.
The Queen Mother felt a little pain, but she was sore and swollen and felt very comfortable. Just when she was about to speak, her stomach felt empty, as if she had not eaten for three meals. In fact, she had also not eaten for three meals.
The Queen Mother, who had not eaten all day and night, had a different feeling when she looked at the food on the table.
Man Bao reached out and pulled out the short needle from the tiger's mouth, then gently placed the Queen Mother's hand on the table and took a step back.
The Queen Mother picked up her chopsticks and ate two bowls of rice in front of all the filial sons and grandsons.
Everyone:...I always feel like I am not getting back to my former glory.
The Queen Mother also ate happily, but she had a premonition that her time was almost up.
After she had eaten and drank enough, she put down her chopsticks and glanced at Zhou Man, who had already retreated to Doctor Liu and Doctor Xiao, and looked at her eldest maid.
The eldest maid has served the Queen Mother for many years, and she can understand with just one look without her having to speak at all.
She immediately bowed and turned back to the inner room. After a while, she took out another small box. It was smaller than the one given to Chang Yu, but not much smaller.
The emperor's sharp eyes saw Zhou Man's name written on the box. He couldn't help but twitch his forehead. Even Zhou Man had received something, but he and the queen had to find it themselves from the palace...
