Yuanxiao knew in her heart that this was a matter of face.
I hurriedly responded.
But after all, the queen was very considerate. After leaving the Lantern Festival, she sent two capable doctors to the Shen family.
Shen family. In Hua Xitang, Mr. Qu reached the end of his life.
She didn't have much strength left, but she was still conscious.
Everything that can be seen is back. Those that cannot be seen, such as the granddaughters who are getting married, can only wait. Those who can't wait don't have to wait.
For example, the two people in the palace will not come out casually.
Shen Zhong was kneeling in front of the couch, followed by several grandchildren, and Shen Qingling was also kneeling.
Below, there are great-grandsons.
Shen Changjing sat aside and watched all this.
"Mom, don't worry, we are still at home and we will be filial to our father." Shen Zhong felt uncomfortable.
Mrs. Qu struggled to speak and move. It took a long time before she reached out and grabbed her eldest son.
She gave birth to four, and three of them preceded her.
Now there is only one person in front of her who can give her death.
"After I leave... there is still your father at home, but... there is no need to... don't worry. It's just that I don't worry... I won't leave you alone." Mrs. Qu said with great difficulty.
"Don't worry, you are already a young man. You take the first step. I only have a few years to get here." Shen Changjing sighed.
"Master, please... take a good look at them... what are you doing... what are you looking for... looking for me." Mrs. Qu closed her eyes and then opened them: "I lost my mother when I was young... I entered the Shen family... Master... Master is not around all year round. I ... I have no parents-in-law... I have no sisters-in-law... I am used to being lawless. I... am short-sighted, and after all... I can't stand up to the Shen family... "
"You are of such an age, what are you talking about? You have had children all your life, why are you talking about the Shen family and the Qu family? You are a member of this family. People will make mistakes throughout their lives, don't worry about it." Shen Changjing came over, Look at her.
Mrs. Qu could hardly speak anymore. It took her a long time to say: "Second child..."
"I am...shouldn't...scream...it's because I'm biased..." After saying this, Mrs. Qu took a breath and was speechless.
After a long time, her hand gradually relaxed, and after a while, she closed her eyes.
When Shen Zhong started crying, the whole room started to cry too.
Then there was crying outside, and the entire Shen family was in despair.
Shen Changjing was a duke with military exploits, so naturally his wife's funeral would not be an easy one.
The people from the Ministry of Etiquette have already arrived, and they all want to help.
After all, the Lantern Festival came too late and I didn’t see it.
At this time, Shen Zhong also came to see Yuan Xiao in person: "Go back and tell the queen not to be too sad. The old lady is almost eighty, and this is a happy funeral. The queen should take care of herself."
Yuanxiao wiped away her tears: "How can I not feel sad? Hey, what's going on in the house now? I have to go back and report the news right now. If you need anything, I'll tell you all."
"Father-in-law, don't worry. Everything is fine in the house and everything is ready. Father-in-law, please go back quickly and tell your empress to take care. Please take care of yourself," Shen Zhong said.
Yuanxiao said a few more polite words before leaving.
Back in the palace, Shen Chuliu heard that Mrs. Qu was gone, nodded, and went in to change clothes.
A palace concubine is not qualified to pay tribute to her mother's family, but no one will care if you change into plainer clothes.
She was wearing a Xiafei-colored skirt today, which was naturally too gorgeous.
"By the way, have you told Shen Gengyi about this?" Shen Chuliu had forgotten about this person just now.
"I've said it, don't worry, Master." Chi Su said.
"I'll stay by myself for a while. Send someone out and ask Zi Rui to come and accompany me for a while." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
Although Chisu was worried, he still quit.
Zi Rui and Zi Zhu naturally lived in the imperial city after they got married. If they go out and call now, they will be here soon. Of course, the two of them were not qualified to enter the palace to pay respects, but they could come in from time to time. It was Shen Chuliu who called them in. We only meet twice a year.
When Zi Rui came, Shen Chuliu had been sitting by himself for a while.
"Master." Zi Rui blessed her body.
Zi Rui was just pregnant with her third child. She got married late and it was not easy to get pregnant. The first two happened to be a son and a daughter, but now she was really pregnant with the third child.
"When did you become pregnant? I won't call you if I know you are pregnant. You must be honest!" Shen Chuliu glared at her.
"Even if I have it, before the time of delivery, I want to come even if the master calls me, even if he doesn't call me." Zi Zhu smiled, and was helped by Gaichun to sit down and talk.
She is also five months old.
"Master, don't be sad, the old lady is old after all."
I almost quit when I got a few gifts.
"Hey, you know what happened back then better than anyone else. To say how sad I am is a lie. But I don't feel comfortable in my heart." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
"Master, this is the right thing to do. Is it possible that you are smiling now that the old lady is gone? Your Majesty is actually soft-hearted." Zi Rui shook her head.
"Master doesn't forgive her, but it doesn't mean he can't feel uncomfortable for her. It's just a matter of time."
"Yes, it's over." Shen Chuliu also shook his head.
She didn't know Mrs. Qu's last words, but there were people who understood those words, such as Mrs. Song.
She knew that what Mrs. Qu wanted to say was that Shen Chuliu was Shen Jun's only child, but he was sent to the palace because of the old lady's favoritism.
However, even if she heard this, she would only smile mockingly.
It had been a long time since the two masters and servants had seen each other, and they had talked a lot, and the discomfort that was weighing on Shen Chuliu's heart was much lessened.
After all, the person I called my grandmother when I was little suddenly disappears, which is always a bit sad and uncomfortable.
Even if she is not nice to you.
That's how people are, you can't control things like feelings.
Even though you have made all the decisions rationally and you look impeccable on the outside, only you know whether you feel uncomfortable on the inside.
Zi Rui still left the palace, the emperor came.
The emperor was a little confused when he suddenly saw a pregnant woman greeting him.
After looking at it for a long time, he said: "Get up, is this the one in front of you before?"
Shen Chuliu smiled: "Yes, the one I brought into the palace is named Zirui. She got married a few years ago, and now I call her in every year to see her."
"Oh, that's good. You two have a deep love between master and servant." Qi Yixiu smiled.
"It's time for me to leave the palace, please bid farewell to Your Majesty the Emperor, Concubine Jing." Zi Zhu said hurriedly.
"You don't have to call yourself a slave in the future, I can't remember it." Shen Chuliu laughed at her.
Zi Rui smiled and just said hello. Shen Chuliu also knew that she would do this again next time.
"When you go back, send the things to Zi Zhu. You will all be well." Shen Chuliu said.
Zi Rui agreed, since the emperor was here, it was hard to say anything.
Yuanxiao sent her out: "How is sister always doing now?"
"Okay, both Zizhu and I are fine. What about you? I heard that Jimei will also leave the palace this year?"
"Yes, she will go out in the summer. She still has family members, so she will get married by herself, and the master will give her a dowry. Not only her, but two second-class girls are also going out."
