She knew her illness well, and it was probably because of the letter from the DPRK.
The first thing mentioned in the letter was that the second princess was old and the Emperor of Chao wanted to ask her to go to Chao. Of course, he meant to go back.
Because the eldest prince of the Chao Kingdom is also old enough to get married.
The eldest prince was born to the late empress of Chaoguo. Of course, the empress had passed away.
The eldest prince would have the opportunity to become the prince, but of course, in fact, he would not be able to do so after a few years.
The prince was the son of the princess of the Wang family who married the emperor of the dynasty for the second time.
Of course, no one knew this. What the emperor of Chaoguo meant was that the second princess had both the blood of Chaoguo and the blood of Da Yichao, so she was the perfect candidate for the eldest prince's concubine.
What's more, he said that marrying into his uncle's family would naturally pamper her.
Needless to say, the Queen disagreed.
It's not a lie that Qi Yixiu dotes on his daughter, so naturally he won't agree to it. Unless the queen asks for it.
The second princess herself was even more unwilling. Although it was true that her mother was a princess of the imperial court, she had never been there.
She grew up in the Yi Dynasty and was a noble princess and the prince's concubine.
She doesn't care.
It will not be uncommon to become the empress of the dynasty in the future.
She was willing to find a consort and live in the imperial city, where she would often see her father, mother and queen, as well as her sisters.
The second thing in the letter was that one of the queen's sisters passed away.
Another princess of the Chao Kingdom, she was also the queen's most beloved sister in the Chao Kingdom besides her mother and concubine.
For the queen, it is the last relative she misses.
But her sister went too.
Now besides her identity, she has nothing to worry about.
But after all, it was the death of a relative. In recent years, communication has been inconvenient. When she heard about it, she was inevitably sad...
Coupled with the fatigue before and after the Chinese New Year, I fell ill just like that.
The second princess came in from outside and warmed herself up before looking at her: "Mother, are you feeling better today?"
"It's okay." The queen was helped to sit up.
"Mother, eldest sister has returned to the palace." The second princess helped the queen to sit down.
"Yes." The queen responded weakly: "What's wrong with her?"
"I didn't say anything. I just came back to take a look, right? I sent someone to ask about you, but I blocked him and told him that you disappeared." The second princess said.
"Well, that's good." The queen responded and smiled: "You might as well go and see her."
"Yes, eldest sister is not going back today. I will go early tomorrow morning." said the second princess.
The mother-in-law is talking on this end, and the mother-in-law is talking on the other end.
After He Zhaoyi was demoted to the throne, she did not move and still lived in the Taiping Palace. The queen did not ask her to move to the side hall, but she did not dare to live in the main hall.
The eldest princess is here now, and the two mothers have not seen each other for half a year.
The eldest princess has been out of the palace for more than two years, but she still has not given birth.
She and her consort treated each other with respect, but she was not pregnant.
She was quite anxious herself, so of course the prince-in-law didn't say anything and didn't dare to say anything.
"How is the mother-in-law?" the eldest princess asked distressedly.
The reason is that He Zhaoyi is also sick at these times. Of course, there is a queen above her, so whether she is sick or not is not a big deal.
"What can I do? Everyone from the Imperial Medical Office has gone to Fengzao Palace, what else can I do here?" He Zhaoyi complained.
"There is no imperial doctor here? Then... My daughter should go find her father." The eldest princess said as she stood up. Liusu said hurriedly: "Princess, don't be anxious, the empress is complaining, why is there no imperial doctor?"
"Master, too. I heard what you said. Are you complaining that the Queen didn't ask the imperial doctor to treat you? You are not seriously ill. It is not good to make such a fuss."
Liusu has been following He Zhaoyi all his life, from the mansion to the palace, following him through every ups and downs.
She speaks with the greatest weight.
He Zhaoyi stopped talking.
The eldest princess sighed and could only remain silent.
My mother-in-law, she didn't pay attention just now, she was really...
"How is the situation in the house?" He Zhaoyi asked without being embarrassed.
"Everything is fine, mother and concubine, don't worry."
"Hey, your stomach is still silent?" He Zhaoyi was also worried.
"The imperial doctor also looked at it, and the doctor outside also looked at it. I don't have any problem, and neither does he. It just doesn't happen." The eldest princess sighed.
"That's because we are not destined to be in a hurry." He Zhaoyi sat up and sighed: "You are a princess, it doesn't matter even if you never have children. However, I still look forward to the love between you and the consort."
The eldest princess responded, but she also sighed in her heart.
She didn't even know what love was like, but she and her consort...
I can never find that feeling of love.
"You go first, I have something to say with the princess." He Zhaoyi waved her hand.
The tassel is out.
"But what's wrong? I gave birth to you. If you hide it from me, I would have given birth to you in vain." He Zhaoyi poked at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess did not hide away: "What could it be? I can't say, the prince-in-law is very kind to me and respects me. I have the final say in the princess's house. Even the people in their house are not rude when they see me." He also... spends half of the month resting here, and he usually doesn't have a little girl to take care of him."
"We didn't have children for a while, so we didn't mention it. But he always made me feel like he didn't complain."
"Isn't that great? Why do you still feel uncomfortable?" He Zhaoyi was puzzled.
"I can't say, I just feel that we respect each other, but we don't have that kind of... I have met his sister-in-law many times after she married his brother. I have also seen them talking to each other, and there is always something that makes me look at it. The feeling of blushing is very intimate, but my consort and I..."
The eldest princess sighed: "My consort, he never calls me by my name, and I am the same."
He Zhaoyi fell silent.
She got it. But she didn't know how to do it.
After she entered the palace, she and the emperor didn't even treat each other with respect, but this was normal, she was just a concubine.
She had no chance to marry the man in her heart, but she didn't dare to think about what it would be like to marry him.
"Your father used to like Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi... That's all, don't mention it. Now your father favors Concubine Jing, Su Zhaorong, Yan Zhaoyuan, Mei Xiuyi, just follow suit." He Zhaoyi sighed.
The eldest princess thought, can this be the same? But he didn't say anything, he just nodded, found another topic, and left.
While they were talking, news came from outside that the old lady of Jing'an Marquis was in bad condition.
"Didn't this notify the Ministry of Etiquette? If you come into the palace now, you probably notify Concubine Jing." The girl said.
He Zhaoyi nodded and said, "Just follow the rules."
In the Yufu Palace, Shen Chuliu knew what was coming after hearing the news.
Ms. Qu's health has been poor in recent years. She has been unable to get up since Shen Yi died. Now after waiting for another two or three years, it is no longer easy.
He is over seventy years old. In these years, he is considered to have lived a long life.
"Yuanxiao, go to the Shen family and take a look for me. If you need anything, ask someone to arrange it. The people in the Imperial Medical Office are busy with the Queen's health, so they may not be thorough. You go find two imperial doctors. If that doesn't work, ask someone from outside. The doctor doesn’t bother me either.”
