It's a pity... no matter how deep the affection was, now that the person is gone, what's the use of all that affection?
At best, it's just a way to remember when the person was still alive.
With the passing of the Grand Consort, the situation in the capital is likely to change.
However, these were things that Li Chenjiao couldn't think about. Illness strikes like a landslide. Yesterday, Li Chenjiao only had a cold, but by noon she had developed a high fever.
Catching a cold in the summer is the most troublesome and mentally exhausting thing.
The ice basins in the room were put on hold for a while.
She couldn't get up for the time being, so after the physician examined her at noon, Qiu Hu went to the main courtyard to report.
The princess scoffed at this, made some sarcastic remarks, and then allowed Li Chenjiao to stay in the mansion to recuperate.
However, Li Shi couldn't do much outside anyway, and the Fujin (principal wife) didn't care whether Li Shi was truly ill or not; she was busy with her own affairs.
With the passing of the Grand Consort, the Crown Princess Guarjia was no longer allowed to leave the palace to help with the funeral arrangements. Now, the only remaining consorts of the Prince were her, Dong E, and Tatara, making it a perfect opportunity for her to be both allies and showcase her abilities.
This morning, the Fujin went to the Grand Fujin's residence. Now, seeing Dong Eshi chattering and gesturing, she decided to go back to her residence first to have some tea and catch her breath. Later, she still had to go to the Zhijun Prince's residence.
At this moment, everyone is thinking of sending their female relatives to Prince Zhi's mansion. Now that Prince Zhi has returned to the capital, the number of people going to Prince Zhi's mansion to pay their respects is even greater, like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.
The princess consort was not unmoved by the idea, but unfortunately there were no suitable girls of marriageable age in her family, so she eventually gave up on the idea.
There are a few eligible girls like Xianxin, but they are all born out of wedlock. Even if they were married as second wives or principal wives, their status would still be somewhat unsuitable.
Furthermore, Consort Hui is keeping a close eye on things these days, and the Second Prince has already been arranged to enter the palace to be raised by Consort Hui's side, which is enough to show how much Consort Hui values him.
Of course, he's the legitimate son we've been waiting for.
I heard that the child doesn't even have the strength to nurse, so it's hard to say how long he'll live.
After a hasty lunch, the Fujin left the mansion and headed to the residence of the Prince Zhi.
While the Fujin was busy here, the Fourth Prince was also keeping busy.
The Fourth Prince went to the palace early in the morning; there were some unfinished matters to report back at Yuqing Palace.
Furthermore, since the Prince Zhi has not returned to the mansion, the Fourth Prince, as a man, is ultimately unable to help much with the affairs of the inner quarters. As the younger brother-in-law, he is more likely to be the subject of gossip.
However, he had just come out of Yuqing Palace when he heard Su Peisheng hurriedly tell him the news that Prince Zhi had returned to the capital.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince first glanced back at Yuqing Palace before asking, "Did Father Emperor say anything?"
Su Peisheng made a somewhat complicated expression: "His Majesty said that the First Princess Consort was meritorious for giving birth to a son, and rewarded the First Princess Consort's maternal family, the Irgen Gioro clan. The First Princess Consort's husband, Lord Amarkolkun, was also promoted in his official position."
As for the Grand Princess Consort, there were no additional rewards or honors.
After all, the Grand Consort can't be made the Consort of a Prince Cheng, right? Then the title of Prince Zhi should also be raised.
The First Lady, who died in childbirth, ultimately met a tragic end, forgotten and ignored by everyone.
For a moment, Fourth Master was at a loss for words...
"My lord... shall we go now..." Now that Prince Zhi has returned, shouldn't we go and visit him?
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince waved his hand and said, "Go to the Ministry of Revenue."
Now that Prince Zhi has returned to the capital, the Fourth Prince can no longer visit Prince Zhi's residence.
