Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 108

With all the crimes in Wei Ting Hou's family, the prince blamed himself in the East Palace, and the case involving hundreds of lives came to an end. Huo Ying took the opportunity to return his teacher's innocence, but the Zhang family had long since been convicted because of Zhang Dai. The family was ruined, and even if they wanted to make up for it, they couldn't find a partner. As for the killing of Liang He, there were many speculations from the ruling and opposition parties, but no one could say why, so the matter was shelved.

The matter came to an end, and King Zhongshan, who had been ill for many days, finally showed up.

When he entered the palace to pay his respects, Emperor Taikang was staring at Song Yuan writing. Seeing him coming, Emperor Taikang sat up straight and asked, "I've been ill for so long, but have you all recovered?"

King Zhongshan knew whether he was sick or not, and Emperor Taikang knew it too. This question was purely polite, and King Zhongshan naturally wanted to be polite, and hurriedly said: "My son is incompetent. I worried my father. Now I have recovered."

Emperor Taikang asked him to get up: "You have practiced martial arts all year round, and your body is stronger than others, but after all, you are over half a hundred years old, and you still need to be restrained in female sex. If you want to live a long life, you must take care of it carefully."

When he said that directly, Zhongshan Wang blushed: "Yes, I must take good care of my body."

This topic made him feel ashamed, Emperor Taikang didn't delve into it, instead he showed him the handwriting written by Song Yuan: "Your son is diligent and studious, and his handwriting is very beautiful, but it's not like what you taught."

"Yes, Yuan'er's calligraphy is taught by his mother on weekdays." King Zhongshan didn't dare to take credit, and his attitude was still respectful.

Emperor Taikang motioned him to sit down, and deliberately asked: "Is his mother your side concubine?"

"No, Xiao Shen is a good concubine. Since there are already three side concubines, it is inconvenient to lift her up."

"You're busy, I'm afraid you don't have time to teach them on weekdays. Being able to teach children so well shows that you are a smart person as a concubine, but it's too wronged to be just a good concubine. I'm extra merciful and allow you to raise her as a side concubine. "

Song Yuan was overjoyed, and subconsciously looked at King Zhongshan, and seeing King Zhongshan stand up to thank him, she followed immediately.

"You can make arrangements for this year's ancestor worship." Emperor Taikang beckoned Song Yuan to sit down and continue writing: "Remember to pray for the noble concubine, she has been ill for a long time, and after the crown prince fell ill, she became more ill some."

King Zhongshan complied, and saw that he had no other orders, so he retreated tactfully, but he did not forget to take another look at Song Yuan before going out. King Zhongshan was also happy to see Emperor Taikang and her getting along well with each other.

He did not make a mistake in sending the child into the palace to accompany him.

On the same day, the decree to raise Xiao Shen as a side concubine was sent to the palace, along with the imperial decree, there were several rewards, and after hearing about it, Shen also sent a lot of things.

As night fell, Mother Wang came early in the morning to help Shen Shi change her clothes: "The prince has gone to the concubine's room, the princess should go to bed early today."

"She is considered to be in her early years. She gave birth to a good son, which the emperor likes so much, and it is also a reward to personally promote her status. When the prince inherits the throne in the future, I am afraid that the benefits of their mother and son will be indispensable." Shen thought in her heart. Some worries.

Mother Wang hurriedly comforted her: "The emperor values ​​the prince the most. Naturally, he likes the prince's child, but he is only raised as a side concubine. After all, he wants to be respected by the princess. Besides, the eldest son and the second son are both able to act on their own. Well, the ninth son is still a child who is being played at the knee of the elders, the prince has no intention of planning for the ninth son, he is no better than the son of the world."

"That's true." Shen looked at herself in the bronze mirror: "I was confused, I forgot about it when I saw that the emperor liked him."

Shen smiled comfortably, and was willing to sleep peacefully.

Xiao Shen carried her side concubine, so she had to enter the palace to thank her, so Shen took her into the palace early in the morning, because Emperor Taikang went to court, so the two went straight to Mingzhang Hall.

The crown prince was ordered to reflect, and Concubine Xi's spirits became even worse, she leaned on the couch in a daze, unable to open her eyelids, the two of them, Shen and An, sat down, but she didn't respond.

"The imperial concubine's spirit is so poor, she should tell the imperial physician to treat her carefully."

Concubine Xi waved her hands slightly, her qi was so weak, her lips turned pale, it took a long time to say: "It's okay, it's just that it's been rainy for days, it's just dull."

She didn't tell the truth, so Shen Shi just smiled and stepped on Guifei Xi's sore spot and asked, "Isn't anyone here to pay her respects recently? Normally the Crown Princess is the most attentive, could it be that she is also sick?"

Concubine Xi took a look at her, and coughed out of breath.

The sarcasm in this statement is really heavy, but what are they so embarrassed about?The prince's accident this time was not caused by King Zhongshan, he just picked up a ready-made one, and there is no guarantee that he will return it all one day.

Xiao Shen said softly: "It is true that rainy days will make people feel gloomy."

She spoke suddenly, and Concubine Xi looked at her, her eyes lit up, she had not seen such a charming beauty in the palace for many years, and Song Yuan is so old, and she can still have a slim figure Lingxiu, it's really rare, after taking a close look at her, Concubine Xi finally said: "Who says it's not, I always feel bored."

Mrs. Chen glanced at Mrs. Shen, and said with a smile: "This junior feels cool and comfortable on a rainy day. It must be because of a different mood."

Concubine Xi twitched the corners of her mouth, knowing that Mrs. Shen deliberately angered her, she immediately put all her thoughts on Mrs. Shen: "Yuan'er and Concubine Shu are really similar, the emperor has so many grandchildren, I haven't yet I have never seen anyone who is so liked by the emperor like him."

"The emperor's grace is also the good fortune of this child." Xiao Shen was very modest and responded calmly.

Concubine Xi smiled: "Back then when the son was driving in the palace, the emperor was in his prime and was strict with his children and grandchildren. The son was often scolded and punished. Now the emperor is also an old man, but he has become kinder. , walking and chatting with Yuan'er every day, just like a pair of ordinary grandparents, that child is also lovable, and makes the emperor happy every day."

What she said made Shen feel very uncomfortable, but she still had a smile on her face, "The emperor is destined to be with Yuaner, which is also the child's blessing. Few descendants can share the emperor's worries, and they can't be as filial as ordinary people. It is our blessing to have a sensible child performing filial piety on our behalf."

"It's natural. I heard that the emperor made an exception this time to raise an extra concubine for the prince. He also felt sorry for the low status of his favorite grandson's biological mother, so he was extra merciful. It shows his intentions. It's not certain that the emperor will be Yuan. The child is planning to get up, the child's blessing is really good."

These words made Shen Shi feel uncomfortable all over. She forced a smile, but she didn't want to answer the words.

"Ah Yuan is about to turn eighteen, the prince has already decided to let her go to a remote place to be a magistrate, the emperor also knows about this." Xiao Shen answered.

The emperor knew about it but didn't stop it, which means Emperor Taikang had no plans for Song Yuan.
