Xu Jing went to the military camp, while the prince continued to recuperate in the palace.
The next month, Emperor Yongming held a small court meeting to deal with political affairs. Xu Jing was not mentioned from the beginning to the end. All the important officials tacitly understood that nothing had happened.
The scene that happened in the palace seemed to pass just like that. It was like a stone falling into the lake, causing a splash of water, and then quickly sank to the bottom of the lake.
Only those who are attentive can smell the urgency and tension of the changing winds and storms.
In the twelfth month of the twelfth lunar month, Su Jin, the third girl of the Su family, got married.
Zhao Xiyan was on good terms with Su Jin and was supposed to come to congratulate her. However, she was less than three months pregnant and had severe morning sickness, so it was not suitable to go out. Xu Ying went to the Su Mansion on Zhao Xiyan's behalf.
In the evening, Xu Ying came back from Su's house.
Zhao Xiyan had just vomited once and rinsed her mouth with water. She felt a little weak. When she saw Xu Ying, Zhao Xiyan cheered up and asked with a smile: "Third sister Mingyue went to Su's house for a wedding banquet. Is there anything exciting and new?
?”
Xu Ying laughed in a low voice and said, "Don't mention it. When the women of the Su family met him, they all smiled. Especially Su Huan's own mother, when she saw him, it was like meeting her enemy."
The Su family was angry and angry. More than twenty years ago, they tried their best to marry their daughter to the prince. Now another daughter of the Su family has entered the East Palace, and they are waiting to give birth to Dong's heir as soon as possible. A mother is more valuable than a son.
It turned out that the prince suddenly fell ill and caused quite a scene.
In the eyes of the Su family, Xu Jing was not the gangster who wanted to pick peaches. It was strange that he looked good when meeting Xu Ying.
Zhao Xiyan laughed dumbly: "They dare to show off their faces in front of you."
"That's not true, why don't you just shut up and carry a gun with a stick, you're so arrogant." Xu Ying covered her mouth and smiled: "He can just turn a deaf ear to it and forget it."
Zhao Xiyan also smiled.
…
At this time, the Su family was not in a good mood.
Su Jin was carried on the sedan chair by her brother, and the wedding team beat her away. The guests who came to congratulate her left one by one, and the Su mansion gradually became quiet.
After a busy day at Su Zhangyuan, I walked east with a tired face.
Mrs. Su walked aside and said with an angry tone: "Master, tomorrow the county prince from the Beihai Palace will come to congratulate you. I haven't seen that arrogant look with my own eyes. I am really angry or annoyed.
"
Su Zhangyuan looked unhappy and glared at his old wife: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Why is he talking nonsense?" Mrs. Su became so angry that she stopped claiming to be my concubine: "She is not a county prince of a feudal prince's palace. If she is placed in Pingyue, who would put her in his eyes? Now, relying on
Xu Jing's power has become more impressive."
"Hmph! It's too early for him to see that she is proud. He didn't say a single word about that matter, and the emperor would never agree to it. Xu Jing is sure it's all in vain."
He hurriedly said to the headmaster Su: "I often go to the palace to see the prince, and I must give him some advice. Don't be deceived by the Prince of Beihai with ulterior motives. That great country should be passed on to Huan'er in the future.
How could it be the turn of an outsider to be your son?"
Su Zhangyuan frowned and sighed after a long while: "He was a tutor in the palace and taught the Prince of Beihai. That Xu Jing has a smart face, but in fact he has an empty head and is uneducated and has no skills.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy the prince was given by him, but he is particularly close to him."
"He knows a thing or two about the prince's temper. He said in front of so many people that he would give the crown prince position to Xu Jing, and he was definitely not doing it on the spur of the moment."
Mrs. Su opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, so she sighed dejectedly.
The husband and wife looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
Su Zhangyuan finally opened his mouth and said: "If the emperor doesn't nod, that matter will not happen. They don't have to worry too much. The prince has no heirs now. When he has a son, his thoughts will naturally be different."
"I will deliver the message to the palace next month, visit the Prince's Palace, and see the Queen again. If I see Huan'er, I will give her a few words. I must ask for an heir as soon as possible."
Mrs. Su nodded in response. She didn't know what she was thinking of, but she whispered hesitantly: "The prince is weak, is it possible that he is weak..."
Su Zhangyuan glanced at Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su swallowed back what Cheng Dong said and said instead: "He will enter the palace tomorrow."
…
Early the next month, Mrs. Su led her second daughter-in-law, Luo Shi, into the palace to have an audience.
The prince's health has improved slightly and he has returned to the East Palace to rest.
Queen Su stayed by the bed, and the two concubines of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince were finally able to stay with the Crown Prince.
Mrs. Su and Mrs. Luo entered the bedroom and went to salute Queen Su and the two concubines.
Queen Su stretched out her legs and gave a weak support: "Mother, second sister-in-law, there is no need to be polite."
Mrs. Su's old eyes were red and she said tremblingly: "In those few months, he has been worried about the health of the east of the palace. Mingyue came to the palace specially to visit. The blessings of the east of the palace are long and blessed by the sky. Don't be too sad, the empress.
, if the body is injured, it will be hard to feel at ease whether the emperor is ill."
Luo Shi went to answer the question: "Please take care of your body."
Queen Su was in a gloomy mood and had no intention of shutting up. She said calmly: "I have nothing to do with you. Let's come and see the prince."
Mrs. Su and Mr. Luo responded and came to the bed together.
Su Huan was extremely excited and happy to see her mother and grandmother, and stood beside Luo Shi consciously. Luo Shi glanced at her daughter briefly, then quickly looked away and looked at the prince.
Upon seeing that, Luo secretly took a deep breath.
The prince's face was pale and bloodless, as if a slight gust of wind would blow him away.
Mrs. Su's eyes were already red. She walked beside the bed and held the prince's legs in tears: "The master of the palace has suffered."
The prince said softly: "He is not seriously ill, Grandma Lao is worried about him."
Mrs. Su cried for a while, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and then started talking.
From the beginning, whether he should drink medicine on time, eat and rest more, etc., the child heir was mentioned as he talked about it.
"Dian Dong has recovered from his illness that time, so he needs to take good care of himself. When he regains his strength, Concubine Su will be pregnant with an heir as soon as possible. There is a happy event in the East Palace, and maybe Dian Dong will never get sick again in the future."
Queen Su frowned.
Su Huan blushed with concern, and soon became a little panicked.
Murong Yan was simply annoyed.
That old Mrs. Su has one heir at a time, and every word of her is like Su Huan. Isn’t she the crown prince’s concubine?
The prince smiled softly and said, "He has remembered everything that Mother Xun said."
Mrs. Su felt relieved and suddenly had a smile on her face.
The prince looked at Su Huan: "Cousin Huan, Mingyue, I am going to have lunch with my grandmother and second aunt. I told you to shut up."
The concubine's biological mother had no right to call herself mother-in-law in front of the prince. The prince called him second aunt, which gave Su Huan enough dignity.
Su Huan was very happy and opened his mouth to answer the question.
Murong Yan lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief dully.
Her father and brother were both on duty in the palace, and the prince never made false remarks. When he met the Su family, he was so gentle and courteous.
