"Oh?" Sheng Weiqiao heard this and asked thoughtfully, "But I don't know... what kind of comments are there?"
Huan Ye said together: "When a new king ascends the throne, the first thing he does is whether to reward his family." The Gaomi Palace was not a blood relative of Bidong, but it turned out that everything was still the same, so the people of Didong were a little at a loss. "
"I have also said that if Bidong's close relatives are out of the country, it is not easy for him, a queen, to act as a substitute." Sheng Weiqiao nodded and said, "We can't discuss that matter until Bidong returns in triumph. Bar!"
In fact, Sheng Weiqiao knew best why Rong Suihe did not award the palace of Gaomi: It is not that he was grudged by the palace, so he deliberately humiliated the palace.
Lord, please don’t trust the palace, especially King Gaomi.
It wouldn't matter if Rong Suihe had been in the country all the time. He was not afraid of his biological father at all.
The problem is that he asked the emperor to go on a personal expedition. The prince Rong Juan was very young and in his infancy, and the queen Sheng Weiqiao was not good at intrigues. Although he was assisted by important ministers such as Le Yangwen and Xu Zijing, the King of Gaomi was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
If we give him the status of Tai Zai Huang and let him live in the palace now, who knows what mishaps will happen
Therefore, Rong Shuihe did not even mention the reward from the palace. If the status of the Gaomi King and his wife was not correct, they could not even enter the palace without Sheng Weiqiao's summons, let alone the imperial government's instructions. Naturally, the threat would not be great. .
If that's not the case, how could Sheng Weiqiao give any promotion to the Gaomi Palace just because of mere comments
She originally had no good impressions of the father-in-law, King Gaomi, not to mention that it involved her and her son's interests.
Huan Ye agreed with her, and without much persuasion, he smiled and said, "No," and then resigned.
Half a month later, Rong Suihe sent back an imperial edict, canonizing Concubine Shu's daughter as Princess Wanchun. In addition to being officially promoted to concubine, Concubine Shu herself was also given the honorific title "Kezhuang", her full name was Concubine Kezhuang. .
From that title, it is easy to see what kind of hopes the young new monarch has for the future of Concubine Yu Shu.
Concubine Kezhuang failed to live up to his expectations and almost disappeared from sight, never appearing in front of people again.
Along with the imperial edict that conferred the title of Princess Kezhuang and her son, there was an imperial edict, but it failed to confer the titles and orders of Jin Sheng Lanci and his wife. Sheng Lanci was conferred the title of Duke of Kui from the Marquis of Taining, and the Feng family also became The Duke's wife.
This imperial edict, on the one hand, fulfilled the custom of conferring Duke status on the head of state; on the other hand, it did not express Sheng Weiqiao's joy of being happy again.
The joy did not last long, but bad news came from the Gaomi Palace: Princess Gaomi was dying.
As early as when Rong Suihe was asked by the palace to admit her marriage to Ningwei Houfu, the princess had already said that she had already run out of energy and could not rely on her will to hold on.
Although it was said that at that time, it was unlikely that he was completely hopeless, so he just prayed for a good life and rested, and there was still hope for recovery.
But after Rong Suihe returned to the palace and resumed his status as a member of the royal family, it was not at all what the princess had imagined. The smooth reunion of mother and son would make up for the lack of affection for each other for many years. From then on, the relationship would be harmonious and there would be no regrets. Let her feel comfortable and concentrate on regulating her body, so that she can live a long and healthy life.
The son who reunited after a long absence failed to meet the only demand of the Gaomi Palace, whether to give him a chance to marry Sheng Weiqiao in an upright manner.
In addition, he had no desires or feelings for the palace, and he was not afraid to show that.
It was too late for Princess Gaomi to worry, let alone deny Dong Xin to take good care of her body.
It's not easy to wait until the bright moon.
So this time the disease is coming in a violent way, and it looks bad.
Although Rong Suihe deliberately gave nothing to the Gaomi Palace before his personal expedition, in the end the princess was his biological mother.
And everyone in Dongdong could see that King Gaomi, who was the biological father of Rong Suihe, was very indifferent and indifferent even if he had some feelings.
But after all, there is some affection for Princess Gaomi.
When Sheng Weiqiao received the news, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but feel a headache. He specially summoned Sheng Lanci and his wife to the palace for discussion: "The princess is seriously ill. As for her body and bones, it can't be said this time... Ruming is pregnant with Bidong who is away in person. Father, mother, What should we do if he begs?"
Sheng Lanci and his wife frowned when they heard this: "That's my serious mother-in-law. Although she doesn't like me, it is said that in her last journey, as her daughter-in-law, I did not care about her. Can she become the princess or the empress dowager as soon as possible? I, the majestic empress, cannot go to the Gaomi Palace to serve her in person, right? Ruibin is so young, so she cannot do without the care of her mother!"
Feng was very suspicious: "Although the princess has always mistakenly said that her health is not very good, after all she has survived for so many years. Why is it that she will die sooner or later, but at that time she is so lucky? Recently, because of Before the expedition, Dongdong did not give any reward to the Gaomi Palace, and there was a lot of discussion inside and outside Dongdong! Could it be that it was for that reason that he deliberately pretended to be ill to put pressure on me? If not, dear girl, I Are you kidding! My father-in-law has never denied anything good, just my mother-in-law. She keeps saying that she loves Bidong. However, the prince who grew up in front of her and has always been filial is not the same as Bidong, who has always been filial since he was a child. Among the sons living abroad, she knows which one she likes more."
"Mom, even if my mother-in-law is pretending, what should I do if he asks me to do it?" Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "As my father said, although he has never been very popular with the princess, is he a serious mother-in-law? It's my mother-in-law's fault. It's so powerful that he didn't care about anything and pretended that he didn't hear anything. It doesn't seem good? But let's go and serve her personally. Firstly, he is worried about Ruibin being alone in the palace. Secondly, mother, you also know that he Where do you do this to serve people?!”
"Good girl, I'm like that!" Sheng Lanci and his wife pondered for a while, and then said, "I sent her some royal doctors, medicinal materials, and so on in a big way, but it was nothing! After all, it was never said that the queen left the palace to serve in the palace. It’s the truth of the princess, and I have a great guest on my knees!”
Feng added: "I'll do that for the time being. I'll send someone to send a letter to Bidong quickly for instructions and ask him what to do. After that, we'll see what Bidong wants and give me some advice!"
Sheng Weiqiao acted according to the plan, and soon received a handwritten letter from her husband. In the letter, the mother and son asked after each other, especially Sheng Weiqiao's pregnancy status and whether she felt any discomfort. At the very beginning, they lightly mentioned the critical illness of Princess Gaomi, but it was similar to what Sheng Lanci and his wife had given their daughter, which was to ask Sheng Weiqiao to send more medicinal herbs to the palace, and leave the rest alone.
Taking good care of the palace and taking good care of Rong Ruibin is the most important thing.
"That boy is very conscientious!" Sheng Lanci and his wife said privately after they found out, "He didn't make things difficult for me just because he became the emperor."
Of course, they also know that it is because the estrangement between Rong Suihe's biological parents is very deep. Even if the princess is more gentle than the king of Gaomi, in the final analysis, they are not treated as flesh and blood, otherwise they would not take it so seriously. .
Rong Suihe's reply somehow reached Gaomi Palace in a roundabout way.
At that time, the weather had officially entered summer, and it was getting hotter day by day.
If Shuihe Yujia was not allowed to go out in person, Sheng Weiqiao thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing and had no intention of leaving the palace to escape the summer heat, so he should go live in Linyuan.
However, outside the palace, there was a sense of desolation and desolation, and the aura of decline could not be suppressed no matter what.
In the Xiangji Hall, Princess Gaomi was lying on her back in the hibiscus tent, her head tilted to the side, staring at the door expectantly.
Who is she waiting for? Everyone knows what she is waiting for.
So Aunt Zhao lingered outside the door, unable to bear to go in and tell her the truth.
As the most important dowry confidant, Aunt Zhao is like this, let alone others.
The princess stayed up for four days and nights after the news that she was critically ill, and closed her eyes with regret. Before she left, she left a will, dividing the previous dowry into two parts, to be divided equally between the crown prince Rong Qingzui and Rong Suihe.
When she said that, Aunt Zhao knelt in front of the hospital bed in tears and asked her if she had anything to say to anyone. The princess thought for a long time and said with difficulty: "He has nothing to say to them. The prince has always been filial." Be cautious, and there is no need for him to tell you; as for He'er, with his achievements and status like Ming, what can he tell him?"
After a while, Aunt Zhao thought that she would not say anything more, and then the princess said softly, "I hope that in the next life, neither He'er nor the prince, nor any of his children will see him again." Such a mother-in-law; I hope that in the next life, she can be a completely poisonous woman, even if she is notorious for thousands of years, it doesn't matter."
Aunt Zhao couldn't help crying when she heard this!
Amid the cries, Princess Gaomi breathed her last breath tiredly.
... When the news of the death was reported to the palace, Sheng Weiqiao was shocked when he heard it. He sent the messenger away, thinking about what to do next.
After all, the emperor's biological mother is gone, so it should be regarded as a national mourning.
Is it possible that Princess Gaomi is not revered as the Queen Mother
If her mother-in-law was the only one in the palace now, Sheng Weiqiao wouldn't mind honoring her. The question is, the princess is gone, but King Gaomi is here, Rong Qingzuo and his wife are also here, and most of their children are also here.
So, considering the standards and treatment of the Gaomi Princess and the Queen Mother, what about the other people in the palace
