The Queen Mother took pictures of a few cases and said.
"It's because of her that so many bad things happened."
Indeed, Gao Lingbo twisted his beard and nodded.
"But she has good medical skills." He said, "Originally, Prince Jin'an asked to marry her just to take care of Prince Qing."
The Queen Mother sighed.
"Good medical skills? If you can't cure King Qing and you can't save His Majesty, what good medical skills are you?" She said, "It's all just a reputation that's blown out to fool the ignorant people."
"Isn't the reputation that is blown just right?" Gao Lingbo said.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment.
The flashy medical skills she boasted could not cure Prince Qing or save His Majesty, and naturally they could not cure Prince Jin'an who was poisoned. However, people outside still believed that she would be able to take good care of Prince Jin'an.
There is no need to worry that the King of Jin'an County can be cured, and he can also gain a good face in front of the people and the royal family. Isn't it just right?
"What's more, this is the emperor's golden words." Gao Lingbo said, "The Queen Mother will obey His Majesty's wishes and will never interfere or violate them. The courtiers can rest assured."
As the emperor and the courtiers, the reason why the courtiers are so resistant to the Queen Mother's access to government is because they are afraid that she does not understand the government affairs, and under the instigation of some people, she will change the stable order and disrupt the established interests.
The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Empress Shengming." Gao Lingbo saluted and said.
After leaving the palace, Gao Lingbo's carriage did not go home, but entered a teahouse.
Chen Shiba Niang has been waiting here for a long time.
"Sorry for being late." Gao Lingbo said.
Chen Shiba Niang returned the gift.
"It's okay to take the liberty of inviting the lady to come." Gao Lingbo said, nodding to his entourage.
He walked forward and handed over a small bundle.
Chen Shiba Niang's maid hurriedly reached out to take it and opened it to see how many volumes it contained.
"This is an old thing belonging to King Huaihui."
Gao Lingbo said with a smile.
"Not many people are willing to ask for his old things, not much else. These books will go to waste just throwing them away."
That's it. Chen Shiba Niang reached out and picked up a scroll, and saw that Prince Ping's seal was still on it, she looked a little disappointed.
"Yes, His Highness is a lover of books. He often says that books will be wasted if they are not cherished." She said as she bowed and thanked her.
"Ms. Chen is leaving Beijing?" Gao Lingbo asked again.
Chen Shiba Niang nodded.
"My husband hasn't returned home since becoming a scholar," she said.
Gao Lingbo nodded.
"That's what it should be." He said, "Then forget it."
"Master Gao, just say whatever you want," Chen Shiba Niang said.
"Actually, the Queen Mother is a little bit reluctant to give up on Mrs. Chen's resignation from the princesses. What's more, the Crown Prince has to choose a Crown Princess. Now in the palace, His Majesty the Queen Mother is older, the Princess is sick, the Queen is guarding Your Majesty, and the Crown Prince is in such a situation.
, the Queen Mother cannot raise and teach her alone, and there is no grown-up princess to entrust, so she still wants to trouble Mrs. Chen to take care of the Crown Princess for some time." Gao Lingbo said. [Note 1]
Chen Shiba Niang hurriedly saluted and said she didn't dare.
"How dare I take on such an important task as a humble woman?" she said.
"My wife's family affairs are important, and I can't say anything vulgar." Gao Lingbo laughed and stood up with a bit of sigh, "The prince is a foolish person after all. Although he has made his choice carefully, he is afraid that another Jia Nanfeng will come out and ruin the government.
.”
"Sir!" Chen Shiba Niang said, "With the important officials in the court here, this kind of thing will never happen."
Forgetting that her father is one of the important ministers and assistants in the government, wouldn't this be insulting her father?
Gao Lingbo hurriedly apologized.
"Yes, this is your Majesty's kingdom, and it was originally King Huaihui's kingdom. Nothing can be done to destroy it." He said, saluting again and saying goodbye.
Chen Shiba Niang returned the gift and watched Gao Lingbo leave. Her eyes fell back on the books and she reached out her hand to touch them.
"elder sister!"
A voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Chen Shiba Niang was startled. She looked up and saw Chen Danniang poking her head in from outside the door.
"Sister, why are you here drinking tea alone?" she asked with a glare.
"Why are you here?" Chen Shiba Niang asked, taking the book and walking out.
"Grandpa and I went to watch a variety show." Chen Danniang said with a smile, "Seeing your car outside, I thought you had gone home."
Chen Shiba Niang looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
"You come with us to watch a variety show. Otherwise, if you leave the capital and go to such a far away place, the people there will speak with different accents from ours, and the plays they will sing will definitely be different..."
Chen Danniang kept chattering, but Chen Shibaniang just looked at her and smiled, then stopped and smiled.
"Sister?" Chen Danniang noticed that she was not leaving. She looked up at her and saw Chen Shiba's mother looking at her thoughtfully, "What's wrong?"
He reached out and touched his face.
"Is the makeup on my face stained?"
Eleven-year-old Chen Danniang has already started to go out with her mother and sisters to meet guests, and has also started to put on light makeup. She is always a little unsure of herself in the early stages of learning.
Chen Shiba Niang smiled.
"No." She reached out and scratched Chen Danniang's nose, took her hand, "Let's go."
"Sister, will you go to the theater with us?"
"You can go home for dinner after reading. My father is at home today."
"Sister, when are you leaving? Are you going to come back after you leave?"
The oriole-like sound kept ringing.
Standing in front of the tea garden, Chen Shiba Niang looked at her.
"No." She finally answered.
"Aren't you coming back?" Chen Danniang asked with a sad look on her face.
"No, I'm not leaving." Chen Shiba Niang said with a slight smile.
Chen Danniang was a little surprised before she asked, but her eyes fell on the street again.
"Huh? Those are the Banqin sisters." She said hurriedly, putting aside her words and pointing towards them.
Banqin?
Chen Shiba Niang looked over and saw two maids sitting in an open summer carriage on the street passing by.
"Why are sisters Banqin crying?" Chen Danniang asked with a frown, raising her foot to go over, "I'll go ask."
Chen Shiba Niang stretched out her hand to hold her.
"Her family is having a funeral, and it's legitimate to cry." She said, "Don't bother her."
Chen Danniang stopped and looked at the carriage passing by on the street.
"Sisters Banqin are crying so sadly." She sighed and frowned.
The maid stretched out her hand to pull Banqin and looked up at the front.
"Stop crying," she said, "We're almost home, don't let my wife see you."
Banqin nodded and wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, but tears still flowed uncontrollably.
"Where have you been?"
Mrs. Huang couldn't help but ask when she saw them entering.
"We..." Banqin hesitated to answer.
The maid spoke first.
"Went to the cemetery," she said.
Mrs. Huang said oh, looked at the two eyes swollen from crying and sighed.
"Okay, go in quickly, don't make your sister sad," she warned.
The two maids saluted and hurried in.
"Sister Banqin, why didn't you say it was Shiro-kun's grave?" Banqin couldn't help but ask.
"Going to the cemetery is bad luck, but going to Shiro-kun's grave is not," the maid said.
Banqin was stunned for a moment.
"Bad luck?" she asked.
"Yes, wasn't the place we just went to unlucky enough?" the maid snorted.
Banqin chuckled.
"Sister Banqin!" She patted the maid's arm and cried and laughed.
As she walked into the courtyard, Cheng Jiaoniang, who was sitting on the porch watching two little girls playing with the birds, looked at them.
"Madam, we went out for a trip." the maid said.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded, her eyes hovering on their faces.
My makeup is also smudged, my eyes are swollen from crying, and my nose is red...
Banqin lowered his head to cover up, while the maid forced a smile.
"When I think about it, I still feel sad," she said.
Cheng Jiaoniang said oh, looked at them, and looked away.
"Then let's go down and wash our faces." The maid said, and she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the side room with Banqin. She stomped back halfway.
"Madam, you know that I didn't tell the truth." She said, "You don't believe me and you don't ask. On the contrary, I am holding myself back and panicking."
Banqin looked at her in astonishment.
It seems that the maid sister is really sad this time, and her behavior has become repetitive and weird.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at her and smiled.
"Then where have you been? Why are you crying like this?" she asked.
"Banqin and I went to Prince Qing's Mansion," the maid said.
The two little maids who were playing with the birds in the corridor heard this and looked surprised. They quickly put down the things in their hands, bowed their heads and backed away.
Listening to the maid's story, Banqin couldn't help but hide her face and cry.
Because the maid was the one who told the story, she did not cry this time.
"There's nothing to cry about." Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.
"They are going too far." The maid said, "Why should I doubt my wife?"
"I have no doubt." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "What I said is all true."
The maid looked up at her.
"He is not an emperor. Loyalty and filial piety are the principles. Loyalty and filial piety come first. Naturally, I have to choose my family first." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "So, they don't need to question it, and I won't do it because of their
Questioning, getting angry and sad.”
The maid and Banqin were stunned.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
That’s how it should be!
The thought changed and the maid became angry again.
"Everyone is like this. I haven't asked them yet," she said angrily.
"But everyone tends to forget everyone." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Just remember what you ask others to do, forget what you would do if it were you.
"If you forget, trouble will arise."
"That's right, let them live with their worries." The maid said bitterly.
The master and servant were talking here when Huang came in in a hurry.
"Sister, someone from the palace is here and they are talking about getting married." She said in a trembling voice.
marriage?
The maid and Banqin both looked over in astonishment.
Cheng Jiaoniang was also a little surprised.
"What kind of marriage?" Fan Jianglin asked.
"Junjun Fan is joking." The chamberlain said with a smile, "His Majesty had already agreed on the marriage between Lady Cheng and Prince Jin'an."
Fan Jianglin looked stunned.
"This, does this still count?" he blurted out.
The waiter's face suddenly fell.
"Ridiculous! What do you think of His Majesty's golden words?"
The news that Prince Jin'an was going to marry Mrs. Cheng spread in less than a day, but before everyone had time to discuss it, new news came.
Note 1: After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was young and motherless when he came to the throne. Since Princess Eyi was the only surviving sister of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, she raised Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty in the palace. (To be continued)
