After the Crown Princess had visited all the concubines in the harem, the Prince's three-day wedding leave was over. But even after these first three days, the Prince still rested at the Crown Princess's place every day.
It was Xin Liangyuan who was recommended to serve.
As a result, Du Liangyuan and Jiang Liangyuan were quite neglected.
The New Year is approaching day by day, and the palace is filled with an atmosphere of joy. But on such a festive day, unfortunate news comes from the Changguo Duke's Mansion: Mrs. Xu is critically ill!
Ever since Wen Xiaotu was pregnant with Sui Sui, she had a falling out with Mrs. Xu. Since then, Mrs. Xu's health has not been well. At first, she was only intermittently ill, not serious or serious, until this winter.
He was getting sicker and sicker day by day, and now his oil has been exhausted.
In the evening of that day, Prince Jingjun came to Fengyi Palace alone. He approached and whispered: "My uncle sent a message to the East Palace. He said... Grandma wants to see me and the Yi family."
Wen Xiaotu was startled. Ever since she and Mrs. Xu had a falling out, Jing Jun had never been to the Changguo Duke's Mansion. Even when Mrs. Xu's condition worsened, he had never visited her.
Wen Xiaotu asked: "Didn't she say she wanted to see Jin Shu?"
Jing Jun shook his head, "Xu finally understands that her quality is not worthy of her second sister."
Wen Xiaotu felt slightly relieved and said: "That's okay! I don't want to worry about people dying."
Jing Jun said: "But whenever my son thinks of what his grandmother has done, he really doesn't want to see her."
Wen Xiaotu was silent for a while, "She is about to die. Before she died, she just wanted to see her grandson and grandson's wife, which is not an excessive request. At most, she just wanted you to take more care of your uncles.
.After all, you are Wen Rutu’s son.”
Jing Jun nodded: "Forget it, since the mother wants her son to go, all he needs to do is go."
After Jingjun left, Wen Xiaotu hugged Suisui and couldn't help but think in his heart that the older generation had all gone one by one. Regardless of whether they disliked them or liked them, they would eventually pass away.
She doesn't have any extravagant expectations, and even when a person is about to die, her words are kind.
She is no longer Wen Rutu, so naturally she does not dare to expect Mrs. Xu to treat her the way she treats Wen Rutu.
Perhaps it was because she did not have a deep affection for Mrs. Xu in the first place, so although she was angry about what she did later, she was not too sad. So today, she can not care about the past.
She was very fortunate that although she had never had a mother, she had a grandmother who was far better than her mother, so that she would not lack maternal love from childhood to adulthood, and she would not be sad because of Mrs. Xu's change in attitude.
Jingjun took the Yi family out of the palace early in the morning. Wen Xiaotu originally thought that he would not be able to come back until the afternoon or evening, but unexpectedly, just after noon, Huaixu quickly walked in and reported: "Empress, Your Highness the Prince has returned.
The palace is over."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned: "Why so fast?" - I'm afraid, the last meeting with his grandmother was not pleasant.
Wen Xiaotu was not too surprised. No, maybe he had some expectations in his heart.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head. Jingjun was not Jinshu, and he was not a willful child. Mrs. Xu must have said something too much, otherwise Jingjun wouldn't be like this.
In the East Palace, Prince Jingjun sent Crown Princess Yi back to the main room, and then held back his anger and said: "Mrs. Xu is an old fool. You don't need to take her words to heart! You rest first, I'll go get a treat for the queen mother."
install."
Yi was stroking the extremely fine red jade bracelet on Hao's wrist. After hearing this, she couldn't help but be surprised. She quickly stood up and said, "I will go with your highness."
Jing Jun hesitated for a moment, but still felt it was inconvenient, so he said, "No need!" and strode away.
Looking at the back of His Highness the Crown Prince as he walked away quickly, Mrs. Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This was the first time she saw His Highness the Crown Prince so angry. It was because Mrs. Xu held His Highness's hand before the bedside and begged him to facilitate the marriage between Mr. Wen and Wen Yu.
The marriage of the princess... Or was it because Mrs. Xu kept saying that Queen Wen was unworthy and asked the prince to be more careful about the queen and the third prince?
Mrs. Yi looked at the first-class red jade bracelet on her wrist. Mrs. Xu took it off her wrist and put it on her hand herself. The Duke's wife said that this bracelet was given to her by the Xian Sheng Queen.
The old lady’s fifty-fifth birthday gift. The old lady said a few years ago that she would leave it to her grandson-in-law...
Mrs. Yi always felt that this lady was not a bad person.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so angry that he pulled her away from the Changguo Duke's Mansion on the spot.
Mrs. Yi was stunned for a long time, and then she saw a young eunuch running in in a panic, "The Crown Princess, the Duke and Mrs. Chang Guo are dead!"
Yi was startled, then quickly walked to the Buddhist altar and knelt down. Holding on to the red jade bracelet, she began to recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra silently to pay homage to Mrs. Xu for her salvation.
In Fengyi Palace, Sui Sui had fallen asleep soundly. Looking at the eldest son who rushed in angrily, Wen Xiaotu sighed, "Is Mrs. Xu still thinking about wanting your sister to marry Wen Huaizhi?"
The fists under Jingjun's dragon-patterned sleeves clenched loudly, "If she just loves her grandson, my son will just think that he is an old fool and won't care about her. But - she dares to slander the queen!"
Wen Xiaotu sighed, thinking that before she died, Mrs. Xu was worried about the prince's throne, so she must have told the prince to be careful about her.
"Well, after all, I am the successor and have given birth to a younger son. In the eyes of others, your younger brother is also a true legitimate son." Wen Xiaotu only sighed without losing his temper.
But Jingjun was so angry that his nose was crooked: "She also said that you are a foxy kid who made your father the cold shoulder in the Sixth Palace!"
After hearing this, Wen Xiaotu smiled instead: "Your father neglected the Sixth Palace because of me. As for Hu Meizi, with my appearance, I'm afraid I can't deserve such praise."
Jing Jun glared angrily: "You still have the heart to joke!"
Wen Xiaotu said calmly: "What else can I do? Make myself angry to death?"
Jingjun choked and couldn't help feeling aggrieved on behalf of his mother, "Since you entered Fengyi Palace, how could you have treated me and my second sister the least bit badly? How could my grandmother slander you with such empty words?! You obviously did nothing wrong! But she
I have been imagining that you are coveting the reserve all day long!"
Wen Xiaotu said quietly: "Doubt in people's hearts is the most difficult thing to eliminate."
Jingjun gritted his teeth: "I shouldn't have gone to see her!"
At this moment, the eunuch Xiao Yinzi walked in quickly, kowtowed and reported: "Empress, Your Highness, Mrs. Chang Guogong... died just now!"
Wen Xiaotu let out a long breath, waved his hand to repel Xiao Yinzi, and then said to Jingjun: "You heard it too. There is no one left, so there is no need to vent your anger on a deceased person."
Jingjun murmured in a low voice: "Queen Mother, you have such a good temper now..." When you spanked me back then, you were just like a big mother-in-law!
Fortunately, Wen Xiaotu can't read minds, otherwise he would have exploded on the spot.
