Chapter 43 No wonder the Crown Prince's Concubine
A quarter of an hour ago.
Jiang Rong's carriage arrived at the Northern Palace.
Xie Lingxi went to the Xingren Division to hand over the work. Jiang Rong, Xiao Nanxing and others returned to the palace first.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Madam Chen crying in the reception room.
"The Crown Prince's Consort killed our Caiwei, my poor Caiwei..."
Emerald looked shocked, "What's going on? What is she talking about?"
"The cousin of the Chen family accidentally fell off a cliff and died... Now the Chen family members came to cry and make a fuss, blaming the Crown Prince's wife for harming Miss Chen." The maid in the mansion reported weakly.
Jade was incredulous, "What does this have to do with our Crown Prince's Consort!"
"Take me to see Chen Caiwei." Jiang Rong said.
"My cousin's body is inside... Madam Chen is holding it and crying..." The maid cautiously pointed to the reception room.
Jiang Rong walked straight into the reception room.
A middle-aged woman sat on the ground, crying and shouting.
The stretcher was covered with white cloth, which Jiang Rong uncovered with her own hands, only to see Chen Caiwei lying quietly, dying peacefully.
Tsk, Shen Wenyuan is quite smart.
"What are you doing? Who are you?" Madam Chen immediately stopped them, "Don't touch my Caiwei!"
"I'm Jiang Rong. When I heard that my cousin encountered such an accident, I... was really heartbroken..." Jiang Rong had a sad face and his performance was just right.
"It was you who killed my Caiwei..." Madam Chen immediately glared at Jiang Rong angrily, as if she was going to rush up and fight Jiang Rong to death:
"Give me back my Caiwei, give me back my Caiwei!"
Several maids held her back, preventing her from falling on Jiang Rong.
"Mrs. Chen, please calm down. I feel really guilty about this accident. If I had known that my cousin would fall off the cliff at Shuilian, I would never have let her go to Shuilian. I should have just let her go back to the Chen family..." Jiang Rong looked very sad.
"I originally wanted to have my cousin from the Chen family come to the palace to be a lieutenant, but now it seems that I'd better forget it. If there is any more trouble, how will I explain it to the Chen family?"
Chen's cousin...
The anger on Mrs. Chen's face froze instantly, and she looked puzzled, "Who are you talking about, cousin..."
"Of course it's your son, Madam. As far as I know, all the cousins of the Chen family have gone to the northern border to join the army, and only one young cousin is at home..." Jiang Rong said kindly:
"I originally wanted to have him serve as a seventh-rank lieutenant in the Crown Prince's ceremonial guard department. After all, he is the Crown Prince's brother from his mother's side, so of course this position of confidant should be given to one of his own."
She had dealt with Madam Chen in her previous life.
This woman is a shrew, and she wants money without shame. But then again, the men of the Chen family are all in the northern border, and if the mistress of the family is not a bit shrewd, how can she support the family?
In the previous life, the Chen family was loyal to the Xie family from beginning to end, and served the country, but in the end the entire family sacrificed their lives.
Jiang Rong hates Chen Caiwei, but she does not hate the Chen family.
On the contrary, she had great respect for these soldiers who were loyal to their country.
The mistress of the Chen family was spoiled and did not allow her son to go to the battlefield, so she raised the child to be an uneducated and unskillful playboy.
But when the old prince died and the Xie and Chen families were almost completely wiped out...
This playboy from the Chen family grew up overnight and went to the northern border to take over the burden of his father and brother. He died in the first battle, and the bloodline of the Chen family was cut off...
In the storybook, it is very easy for the prodigal son to return, as if as long as he is willing to turn back, he will be invincible...
The reality is, how can a playboy shoulder the heavy responsibility of a military family?
Those ten years were filled with wind, frost, cold weather, blood and tears.
Jiang Rong lowered his eyes, and layers of memories emerged in his mind.
The year after Xie Lingxi fell into a coma, the old prince was killed on his way back to Beijing. In the third year, the northern border fell. The Xie family army would rather die than surrender, and the entire army was sacrificed...
Xie's family is a family of generals, and every family wears mourning...
Everyone thought that Xie’s army was gone from then on.
The old concubine took her hand and stood up together, sold all her property, provided relief, and rebuilt the Xie family army.
With the invasion of the Northern Desert outside and the struggle for succession inside, they were caught in the cracks, struggling to protect the precarious Great Xia kingdom.
It’s so tragic. Everyone is so miserable.
Jiang Rong will never let the same mistake happen again.
"Crown Princess, you have a good eye! My Guangzong is the Crown Prince's cousin! He is loyal to the Crown Prince!" Madam Chen immediately changed the subject with a warm smile on her face. When she saw Chen Caiwei's body, she tried to suppress her smile:
"Alas, Caiwei's matter is not your fault. She was careless... Princess, please don't blame yourself..."
She was so worried about her son.
The Chen family is a family of generals, but she was reluctant to let her son go to the battlefield, as that would cut off his path to becoming a martial artist.
Chen Guangzong is a person who doesn't like reading...
This man who is neither good at literature nor martial arts, seeing that other children of the Chen family have become officers...
As for her son, as the eldest son of the Chen family, he has achieved nothing, she is also anxious!
According to the specifications of the Northern Palace, there are officials under the Palace. The captain of the Yiwei Division is the best idle job.
The Ceremonial Guard Division, as the name suggests, is the guard of honor.
He is probably the prince's follower.
But he is a seventh-rank official and a close confidant of the prince.
When the crown prince succeeds to the throne and becomes a prince in the future, her son will also be able to rise in status. In short, he will have a life of wealth and glory without worries.
"We are completely relieved to leave Emperor Guangzong to the Northern Prince's Mansion. If he encounters any problems, it's all because of his carelessness. Princess, please don't mind it..." Madam Chen said, and asked expectantly:
"I wonder when Emperor Guangzong will be able to join the Ceremonial Guard Department?"
"As long as Madam is willing, we can do it anytime." Jiang Rong affirmed, and then said:
"Grandmother must be very sad at this moment, please go and comfort her, Madam."
"Leave it to me. That's my duty." Madam Chen said immediately.
…
In Songhe Hall, Concubine Zhao looked incredulous:
"Mrs. Chen, you just said that the Crown Prince's Consort killed Caiwei..."
"That was just my momentary grief and confusion. But I changed my mind and thought, how can I blame the Crown Prince's Consort? I also heard a little about the incident of Caiwei in the Chen family. This child accidentally harmed his cousin's wife, so it is right to pray for blessings. The Crown Prince's Consort's handling was not inappropriate at all." Doctor Chen MLZL's face completely changed, looking at the old concubine and praising:
"Who wouldn't envy the Concubine Dowager for having such a granddaughter-in-law?"
Concubine Zhao: I am speechless. I am absolutely speechless.
Inside Jinyuyuan.
Feicui secretly inquired about it and came back to report:
"Mrs. Chen praised you like a flower. You should be careful with such a fickle person."
"It's just that I have some selfish motives. I'm not a bad person. It's harmless." Jiang Rong waved his hand casually and said, "Wait for the prince to come back. Ask him to come over. I will discuss the matter of the Ceremonial Guard with him."
"These trivial matters have always been decided by the mistress. You can just make the arrangements. The prince never interferes in the affairs of the mansion." Feicui said hurriedly.
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "I need to borrow some manpower from my husband and make some arrangements."
Feicui was confused. Aren't they just the honor guard? Aren't they just the prince's entourage?
Need to arrange anything?
…
Mrs. Chen took Chen Caiwei's body back home.
The funeral lasted for seven days. After the first seven days, Chen Caiwei was buried and the matter came to an end.
And Chen Guangzong officially became a seventh-rank captain of the Ceremonial Guard Department.
