Chapter 122 How much money is left for Lin Lan's ring
Chao Chao turned around with a dazed expression, reached out to take the ring on the bed, and asked uncertainly, "Just now, Sister Chuchu said that this, this ring is very cheap?"
Song Zhen and Jian Yunsang looked at each other and nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"How much is one?"
Song Zhen, "It should be."
Jian Yunsang seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Chao Chao, do you think this ring looks familiar?"
The latter nodded blankly, "Mom, do you remember what I told you? When I went to Shangliu Village two years ago, I wore a lot of rings on my hands. Later, they were taken away by the Hu family. When I came back some time ago, I gave all these rings to Sister Lin Lan and the others."
Jian Yunsang nodded. Although she didn't remember what the rings Chaochao wore two years ago looked like, they should be similar to the ones in front of her, sparkling and shiny, which children would like very much.
Chao Chao said with some worry, "This ring is so cheap, I thought it was a good thing, and gave it to Sister Lin Lan and Grandma Zhou, asking them to sell it to pay back the money. But, but it's only a few dollars, which is only a few cents in Shangliu Village. It can't help them at all. What should I do, Mom?"
Good question. Emperor Jingxuan also wants to ask what to do.
He was now in the Yishou Palace where the Empress Dowager was. After hearing about the harm of inbreeding, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu both fainted.
Emperor Jingxuan had summoned his ministers to the palace to discuss matters at that time, and because of this, he could only give them a few instructions in a hurry, asking them to come up with the regulations as soon as possible and try to resolve the matter in a way that minimized the damage caused by the marriage between close relatives.
After saying that, he hurried to Yishou Palace.
Fortunately, the imperial physician said that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu had both suffered from excessive stimulation and were in good health. They just needed to rest and recuperate.
Having said that, Emperor Jingxuan still couldn't leave. Fortunately, the Queen Mother woke up quickly.
Whenever I see him around, I think of what happened between him and Concubine Shu, and I feel suffocated and anxious.
But things have already happened, and the most important thing now is to solve the problem. The Queen Mother means that Concubine Shu should stay in the palace, but she can forget about having children in the future, and the position of Queen... I'm afraid she will miss it.
However, after considering it, Emperor Jingxuan quickly rejected it.
"Mother, I want to let Concubine Shu leave the palace."
The Queen Mother asked uncertainly, "Leave the palace? Do you mean to send her to the temple to practice? Emperor, she is your cousin after all. Isn't this too cruel to her?"
Emperor Jingxuan shook his head. "No, what I mean is to send her back to Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, let her return to her parents' home, remove her status as a palace concubine, and remarry. I will also give her a dowry, so that she can marry in style."
The Queen Mother was shocked. "This, this, this has never happened before. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Since ancient times, the worst fate for an unfavored concubine was to live in the cold palace or go to a temple to practice. In Shufei's current situation, it is definitely impossible for her to be favored again, but as long as the queen mother is there, there will be no problem with her position remaining unchanged. But talking about letting her leave the palace and remarry? This is against the rules. Who dares to marry the emperor's woman?
Emperor Jingxuan said, "I have thought it through very clearly. The identity of Concubine Shu is clear to all the civil and military officials in the court. Now everyone in the world knows that close relatives marrying is not allowed. Not to mention the nobles, even the common people will be caught off guard by this news and will inevitably be in chaos for a while. As the emperor, I should set a good example and let Concubine Shu remarry. I can also let the people know that close relatives marrying is a fact, but there are several ways to solve it. It is not just divorcing or forcing a wife to commit suicide. Since ancient times, the superiors have set an example for the subordinates. If I let Concubine Shu remarry, all the officials will follow suit and let their children divorce. Naturally, some people will follow suit."
The Queen Mother was silent. She was a little worried. "I'm afraid someone in the court will oppose it."
"This is my family affair. It is not their turn to object."
The Queen Mother sighed and said that this was actually a good thing.
After all, Concubine Shu is her niece. If she stays in the palace, her future will be completely cut off. In the future, she will not only be depressed, but also be squeezed and ridiculed by other concubines. It's sad to think about it.
If she remarried, with her status as the legitimate daughter of Marquis Weiyuan and the support of her and the emperor, it would not be too bad. She could even have her own child, and her life would definitely be much better than it is now.
The mother and son quickly reached a consensus and both felt that this way of handling the matter was most suitable for Concubine Shu.
Emperor Jingxuan acted quickly. He immediately sent someone to wait in Concubine Shu's palace and convey their intentions to her after she woke up.
Then he sent someone to visit Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion to let everyone in the mansion be mentally prepared.
After explaining all this, Emperor Jingxuan wanted to leave.
Then, Chao Chao's voice was heard coming from the sky.
He looked out the window and saw the familiar ring in her hand at first sight.
Emperor Jingxuan, "..."
What the hell? That ring only cost a few bucks???
How is that possible? He spent several hundred taels of silver to buy it and treated it as a treasure.
So I am the one who is blamed, right?
Lin Lan and others also had slightly changed expressions. They were originally chatting on the deck.
Especially the fight between the Hu family and Jiang Laosan in the cabin, which really left them speechless and they couldn't help but say a few words.
Then, they heard Chao Chao mention the ring.
If the ring was really so cheap, then Lord Gao would have spent several hundred taels to take it from them and presented it to the emperor.
Will His Majesty be angry if something worth a few cents is treated as a treasure? Will he punish them?
Daya was timid. When she thought of this, her face turned pale. She looked around and saw that the guards were not there. She couldn't help but whispered, "If we go to the capital, wouldn't that be courting death?"
"Your Majesty will definitely be angry. What should we do?"
Lin Lan forced herself to remain calm. "It's okay, it's okay. Ignorance is not a crime. The emperor is magnanimous and will not bother with us, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, loud laughter suddenly came from the cabin. It was Hu Fulai.
All of them were injured in the fight, and the guards were still concerned about their lives. Since the bottom of the cabin was too damp and stuffy and not suitable for recuperation, they moved them upstairs.
Therefore, they shouted louder so that the people on the deck could hear them.
For example, now, Hu Fulai shouted maliciously, "Lin Tian, Da Shan, your good days are over. You actually dared to use a few coins to fool the emperor. You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor. Your property will be confiscated and your clan will be exterminated. Your fate will be worse than ours."
