The next day, Shen Chuliu and Shen Gengyi returned to Shen's house. The Shen family has paid tribute, but the coffin has not been returned yet.
Shen Changjing and the young and old in the family came out to greet him, but the Qu family and the Liang family couldn't get up.
After entering the house, Shen Changjing explained: "Your grandmother and your third aunt really can't get up, so please don't mind, Madam."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I'll go see grandma first." Shen Chuliu smiled and went to Qu's residence.
Mrs. Qu hurriedly got up when she saw her, and was helped to sit on the couch: "Your Majesty is here, I am rude."
"How is grandma? What did the imperial doctor say?" Shen Chuliu asked the waiter.
"The old lady was sad for a moment." The mother-in-law who was serving her wiped her tears and said, "It is said that she was suddenly sad and she was old, so she couldn't hold on."
"Hey." Shen Chuliu sighed: "It is inevitable for grandma to be sad, but there are many younger generations in the family. Grandma and grandfather must not fall down."
Shen Changjing was also here. Hearing this, he sighed: "I'm worried about you, and we are so touched that I came back to comfort you in such a hurry."
"At home, there is no need to be so polite. Shen Changyi went to see Third Aunt. How is Third Aunt?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"My younger brother and sister couldn't hold on for a while, but fortunately she is still young." Mrs. Song said while wiping her tears.
"That's good. No one expected such a thing to happen in the family. My grandparents were very sad. Now it's all up to my aunt and sister-in-law." The aunt is naturally the Song family, and the sister-in-law is talking about the Lan family who is standing aside.
The grandson's daughter-in-law, the head of Shen's family.
"Yes. Madam, don't worry, my wife and daughter-in-law are here." Mrs. Song said.
"Grandma, please take care of yourself. I brought some tonics for you to take good care of yourself. You and my grandfather are both the magic needles of the family." Shen Chuliu took Mrs. Qu's hand.
Nowadays, there is no hatred in hatred, but there is no love in love.
But it doesn't mean that this person will die just like that.
Mrs. Qu was obviously very moved, and took Shen Chuliu's hand: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I am still thinking about my wife..."
Saying that, Mrs. Qu burst into tears.
Shen Chuliu personally wiped her tears: "Don't be sad. I didn't fall asleep last night, just thinking about things at home. Hey."
"Your Majesty, you should also take care of yourself. There are veterans at home." Shen Changjing's eyes turned red.
After a few more words of persuasion, Shen Chuliu left Qu's place. Qu's strength was low now, and sitting for a while was already the limit.
In the main hall, Shen Chuliu said: "I thought a lot yesterday, but I have something to say to my grandfather."
"Empress said." Shen Changjing sat up straighter.
"This incident about Third Uncle... is an accident, but it is also an opportunity. The Shen family is different now from the past. Grandfather is now serious about retiring. The world is peaceful, and even if there is any war now, it is just a small fight. Originally, Northern Xinjiang was The world of the Shen family is different from that of the late emperor."
Shen Chuliu said, watching Shen Changjing nod his head, and then continued: "Besides, both the uncle and the third uncle were generals in the peaceful and prosperous times, no better than my grandfather. Now, it is better to ask the uncle to come back to the capital. Well. As for the third brother, he is still young, but it is the same whether he comes back or stays. "
This third brother refers to Shen Qingling from the third room.
"Empress..." Shen Changjing had something to say, but didn't say it for a long time. Madam Song then stood up and said, "It's time to take a look at my mother-in-law's medicine. I'll go take a look. My wife has also made arrangements for lunch."
Shen Changjing waved his hand and told her to go.
In the main room, only Shen Changjing, Shen Chuliu, Chisu and Zhemei were left.
Shen Chuliu waved his hand, and the two palace maids also went out.
"What the empress said is what I have thought about, but..." Shen Changjing sighed: "For the sake of the Shen family, it is a good thing to retire properly. Of my three sons, now only one is left."
"But the Queen still has a prince. The Shen family... once they withdraw from the army, they will definitely not be as good as before in the future. The Queen and the Sixth Prince are in the harem... I can't give up."
"Also, the princes are getting older. The crown prince has not yet been established. Although the sixth prince is not ranked high, the ones in front of him... When the time comes, they will compete for the crown prince's position. The empress will be in a high position, and the sixth prince is of noble birth... There is nothing wrong with that. Need help?"
Shen Changjing had actually thought about it a long time ago. If there were people in the army, Shen Chuliu would be different in the palace.
When the Sixth Prince needs help, this is a big help.
"Grandpa is right, but has he thought about his current temperament?" Shen Chuliu sighed softly.
"When I first entered the palace, I was a Baolin. At that time, because of the power in my family, even though I was not favored, the emperor still remembered me. At that time, the power of the Shen family was an advantage for me. But in recent years, because of this advantage, , there are endless fights in the harem, there is Ying Xiurong in the front, and there is the Qian family in the back, all for the purpose of checking and balancing. Even though Concubine Li comes from a duke's palace, she has no real power, but she can always be on an equal footing with me. Why?"
"There are many powerful people in the palace, but there is no such thing as the Shen family. There are people in the army who have meritorious service, including your grandfather, an old general."
"But, I am already Concubine Jing. The existence of Concubine Qian Shu is more like a symbol in the position of First Grade and Fourth Concubine."
Shen Chuliu didn't explain, but Shen Changjing also knew that the existence of Concubine Qianshu was just a benchmark that proved that the royal family always treated Feng preferentially.
So all these years, Feng Suxin has been fighting for his own life, but he is still squatting in a high position.
But she herself was not someone the emperor cared about.
Then, one level down, at the second-grade concubine position, Shen Chuliu is considered the most powerful one.
"The sixth prince is growing up day by day. Compared with other princes, his mother is favored and has a high status. His mother's family has military power and military exploits. This is a good thing, but it is not a good thing." Shen Chuliu said bluntly: "The emperor is in his prime."
Shen Changjing sighed for a long time: "Your Majesty knows how to choose, but I can't let go."
"It's too early to say whether the Sixth Prince can go further. But the Shen family can only be loyal ministers. The emperor is understanding and proud. If the Shen family gives up everything, there will be no risk of cunning rabbits dying and being cooked by lackeys. On the contrary, they will scream Your Majesty, take a look. In peace and prosperity, there is no need to take risks."
"What the empress said is that I will try to find a way to ask your uncle to come back to the capital. He will also serve as an official when he comes back," Shen Changjing said.
"Okay." Shen Chuliu smiled: "If the family is good, then I will be fine. As for me and the sixth prince, I can naturally handle the affairs in the harem. As for the matter of establishing a heir apparent, the Shen family doesn't have to worry about it. If you can do it, It's his life. It can't be done because he doesn't have the ability." Shen Chuliu said again.
Shen Changjing understood in his heart that the Shen family was not allowed to participate in the dispute over establishing the heir apparent.
To be honest, intellectually speaking, it is better not to participate.
The Shen family is also a big family, but who can resist not participating
Shen Changjing thought at this time, no wonder this girl has been invincible despite many hardships since she entered the palace.
