After the prince returned to the palace, he fell ill, and the familiar bitter medicinal smell filled the east palace.
Queen Su stayed by the bed and insisted on feeding the prince medicine herself. After the bowl of hot medicine was finished, Queen Su asked with red eyes: "Mr. Wan, is the prince's illness okay?"
Dr. Wan, who was a year old, went to the palace and respectfully replied: "I have traveled a long distance east of the Prince's Palace and I am a little tired. I will just stay in bed and rest for a few months. It is not a serious problem. Please rest assured, Queen."
Prince Diandong has been caring for him carefully. When he went back to Jizhou, he went back and forth for half a year. Isn't it strange that he didn't get sick?
It's just a minor illness, it's nothing.
Empress Su wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and waited until Dr. Wan and the palace staff had all retreated, then she said softly: "Jun'er, I'll take some medicine and rest, and don't run around here and there in the future. In the past six months, he has been there every month.
Be worried about me."
The weak-looking prince smiled at Queen Su: "Don't worry, mother, he will come back well."
To pacify Jizhou and defeat the Jin Dynasty, this is too much to ask for.
Originally, there were wars and chaos among the people. However, with the imperial court's great victory in Jizhou, the bandits in other prefectures and counties who were ready to move were quickly suppressed from coming east. The prince's reputation for benevolence also spread among the people.
When people's hearts are stable, the country will be stable.
Queen Su naturally knew the truth, so she just felt sorry for her son. She said with red eyes: "My body can't withstand such torture. It's not the first time, nor is it the last time. From now on, I will stay in the palace well."
With."
The prince responded, sighing secretly in his heart.
With his body, I don't know how many years he can live. It is true that he can never leave the palace again.
Bu Nao, don't leave things to chance...
"I have reached the period of filial piety and should get married." Queen Su's voice rang in his ears, interrupting the prince's thoughts: "He will go to see my father later and ask for his decree.
, grant me a marriage.”
The prince suddenly came back to his senses: "Mother, he has something to say to me."
Seeing the serious look on the prince's face, Queen Su couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I don't have to say anything. Is my mother very clear about my thoughts? I can just rest assured and wait for the marriage of my heart!"
There was a flash of pain in the prince's eyes, but his voice was firm and clear: "Concubine, he will not marry cousin Jin."
Queen Su: "..."
Queen Su was shocked. She knew her son's temper very well and never said anything casually.
Could it be that he has always liked his cousin Su Jin? Why did he suddenly say that he would not marry Su Jin?
"He has other plans for his marriage." The prince looked at Queen Su and said slowly: "Please listen to his details, Queen Mother."
An hour later.
Feeling dizzy, Queen Su walked out of the East Palace. After walking a long way, Queen Su couldn't help but look back, then stretched her legs and rubbed her forehead.
Whatever!
As my son gets older, he has his own opinions and thoughts. Furthermore, he is indeed more thoughtful.
Let him do everything as he pleases.
…
The prince was ill, and Madam Su asked to come to the palace to visit him, so she sent a message to the palace. Soon, a message came from the palace.
Of course, there must be no mistakes in the oral message delivered by Aunt Muzhi herself.
Mrs. Su suppressed the shock in her heart and personally sent Mushroom Zi out of the house.
Muzhi didn't seem to notice Mrs. Su's shock, and said with a smile: "Please ask Mrs. Mingyue to bring Miss Jin and Miss Huan into the palace."
Mrs. Su smiled and responded, grabbing Aunt Muzhi's legs and wrists, and asked with a low smile: "Why does the empress suddenly want to see Huan'er?"
Muzhi answered accurately: "This slave is here to deliver the message on your Majesty's order, and I don't know anything about the rest. If the old lady has any questions, Mingyue can go to the palace and ask her in person."
Mrs. Su had to smile and let go of Mushroom Zi's legs.
After Muzi Zi left, Mrs. Su immediately ordered Su Jin and her daughter to come over.
Yu has lost weight, has many wrinkles on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes, and has a few strands of red hair on her head.
Su Jin had been ill for half a year, and Ru Mingjiang had almost recovered and was much thinner than before. His eyes were dull and lackluster.
Su Huan, mother and daughter, had rosy complexions and seemed to be in good spirits.
Mrs. Su glanced at her and said calmly: "The Queen has given her a verbal message. Mingyue and we will follow him into the palace to visit the east of the Prince's Palace."
Su Jin remained silent.
But Su Huan was overjoyed: "Mother Zhu, do you really have to announce that he has entered the palace?"
It's sad to say. For Su Jin, is it normal to enter the palace, and is it even more common to meet the queen and the prince. But Su Huan has not been to the palace for two years. When she met the prince's cousin, the prince's cousin came.
When the Su family met Su Jin, she shamelessly went over to meet the prince's cousin.
Mrs. Su glanced at Su Huan and said unhurriedly: "When Mingyue enters the palace, Jin'er and I would like to be careful in our words and deeds. Don't say anything that shouldn't be said."
Should Su Huan go there? Su Huan was filled with joy at the thought of entering the palace to meet the prince's cousin.
Su Jin did not say anything.
Mrs. Su frowned and snorted. Then Su Jin reluctantly opened her mouth and responded: "My granddaughter remembers something."
Mrs. Su glanced at Su Jin coldly: "I'd better remember it. If I make any mistakes in my words or deeds in the palace tomorrow, he will put all the blame on my mother."
Yu shrank her body.
Su Jin felt angry and bitter, and simply lowered her head.
…
In the second month, Mrs. Su brought her two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters to the palace to see her.
Empress Su smiled and helped Su Jin and Su Huan up, asked each other a few questions, and asked the palace maid to bring out two boxes of exquisite palace flowers: "Those palace flowers are most suitable for girls to wear. Are we both of the same age?
It fits perfectly."
Su Jin and Su Huan thanked the Queen for her kindness.
Mrs. Su watched with a smile, becoming more and more confused.
That good feeling has been there since yesterday.
In the past, Empress Su often called Su Jin into the palace, and her bias against Su Jin was very obvious. But Mingyue summoned Su Huan into the palace. Moreover, when Empress Su shut up, Su Huan became more affectionate...
It's really strange.
Something even stranger happened later.
Queen Su said with a smile: "Jun'er is recuperating in the East Palace. He is feeling depressed by being alone. Let's go to the East Palace with me and tell Jun'er to shut up."
The female family members of the Su family have their own reasons.
Everyone followed Queen Su to the East Palace and met the prince together.
Mrs. Su's concern for the prince was absolutely genuine and sincere: "Is the prince feeling better now?"
The prosperity of the Su family depends on where Queen Su and the prince are! The prince must not have anything happen to him.
The prince responded with a smile: "Grandma is worried about me. He is fine. He is just a little tired. He can rest more."
Then, his eyes fell on the face of Su Jin, who had become much thinner, and then glanced at Su Huan, whose eyes were full of concern: "Cousin Jin, cousin Huan, thank you for coming to the palace to see him."
