Therefore, it is good to be a loyal and honest minister.
Because at least you can save your life.
"Wei Xiao, you go this time," Shu Chengfeng said.
"Really?" Wei Xiao was overjoyed. It was so great to be able to go out on business.
"What good news? You could be assassinated if you're not careful," Shu Chengfeng chuckled.
“No! I will certainly handle this task well,” Wei Xiao said.
"Then go ahead. If it goes well, I can go and see it next spring," said Shu Chengfeng.
"Alright, then I'll wait for you there?" Wei Xiao asked.
"It depends on the situation. Go back and settle in before you go," Shu Chengfeng said.
Wei Xiao just got married this year and is still newlywed.
Wei Xiao chuckled and then took his leave.
After Ding Min finished speaking, he followed them out, and the two brothers chatted and laughed all the way out of the palace.
Yun Ji then said, "If this Prince Daya ascends to the throne, the entire Menghai frontier will be different from before. Prince Xianli and others... will probably lose their real power in the future. At that time, if this Prince Daya also sends someone over, will His Majesty accept them?"
Shu Chengfeng smiled and said, "There have always been concubines in the harem belonging to Meng Haijiang. Didn't Emperor Jingrun have them too? They even gave birth to princes and princesses. The late emperor sent a princess over there, so he didn't send anyone over. Now, I have more than one in my harem. If one is possible, two are also possible."
Besides, if she were Daya's sister, she would certainly be closer to her than the daughter who presented the gift.
At the very least, Daya has half the blood of the Dayan Dynasty.
Naturally close.
"I remember that Consort Lu had daughters, and it seems she had more than one." Consort Lu was the mother of Prince Daya, who was originally a maid.
Princess Shuning was originally the Grand Consort, but after her death, Lady Lu became a secondary consort.
She also took care of the crown prince as he grew up.
Shu Chengfeng nodded. These things were not important, nor were they things that needed to be done right now.
Yun Ji secretly thought to himself, "That Xiao Liangren is still courting death. If he sends over another girl from Meng Haijiang, hehe."
When Yan Nangui returned from Fengxiang Palace, he instructed: "Send some charcoal to Suning Palace. It doesn't have to be good, just send some enough, and tell her not to freeze to death. Remind the kitchen staff to say that I won't let her starve to death."
Otherwise, with this weather, going hungry one minute and eating the next could really drive a person crazy.
“Yes, but… Your Highness, this Jin Shi has some health issues; she often takes medicine, so…” Shuanzi hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just... my stomach is extremely sensitive, I often need to take medicine, otherwise..." Shuanzi smiled, "It's what Qianniuzi ate that year..."
Yan Nangui pouted, "Forget it, I forgot about that. I'll just take the medicine to her according to the prescription. I can afford to provide for this much medicine."
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."
Within half a day, in the afternoon, the charcoal and medicine were delivered to Suning Palace.
It didn't snow today, but the wind was very strong.
Although it can't be said that the Suning Palace is drafty, it is still quite dilapidated.
The window paper was replaced a few days ago in a rush.
This place isn't actually a place you can't enter or leave. The Jin and Wu families can't go out, but the Imperial Concubine can.
However, unless it was for a greeting, Xiang Yu Nu would not go out. What would she do if she went out? It would be embarrassing.
They didn't even have a few decent clothes.
At this moment, someone actually delivered something to Attendant Jin, which greatly surprised Attendant Wu.
She only had two teeth left, so she didn't like to talk much, but she said, "You've come all the way here, and you still have someone looking after you?"
After thinking for a moment, Jin Shiyu said, "I still have a use for Consort Chen's kindness."
With Consort Chen's name on the table, neither the Imperial Concubine nor Attendant Wu dared to be intimidated.
He had originally planned to ask her for some charcoal to take back, but now he didn't dare to.
Jin Shiyu was accompanied by another servant, but how could such a good maid be assigned to her?
They were indifferent and barely paid any attention to me.
Now that I see Consort Chen is indeed sending me gifts, her attitude has improved considerably.
I was busy, so I went to boil water for her.
Since she was still the emperor's concubine, she would still receive the treatment due to her; it just depended on whether the Imperial Household Department would grant it to her.
So there's still some tea left to use.
That night, the wind was strong and the weather was extremely cold.
In the middle of the night, the second princess suddenly developed a high fever, burning hot.
Consort Wen hurriedly sent someone to fetch the imperial physician and, without delay, informed the Empress and His Majesty.
Unfortunately, Consort Jing also developed a fever that night.
He also hurriedly went to summon His Majesty.
Shu Chengfeng rested at Wanchun Palace that night. Since it was Consort Wen who invited him first, he rushed to Zhuyi Pavilion immediately.
The second princess did indeed have a high fever.
I also got some pimples.
The imperial physician diagnosed it as chickenpox after examining the child. Chickenpox is more common in winter and spring, so it's not surprising that the child got it in the middle of winter. However, the onset was so severe that the child couldn't handle it.
Wen Meiren was so anxious that tears streamed down her face, but there was nothing she could do.
After examining her, Shu Chengfeng reassured her, "Don't be afraid, it's just chickenpox, nothing else. All the children will get it. Didn't the eldest prince get it before?"
Wen Meiren nodded, wiping away her tears, unable to speak.
Consort Xiangxian said, "Sister, don't cry. The child is in pain and needs you."
Wen Meiren nodded.
Just then, Consort Jing sent someone to invite her.
Shu Chengfeng frowned, and Consort Xiang went out the door: "Go back and tell Consort Jing that the Second Princess is ill. Consort Jing can be willful at times, but she can't act recklessly at this time."
The person who came wanted to explain, but the Emperor's expression inside the room was clearly not good, so he had no choice but to leave.
Consort Jing failed to summon His Majesty, and she herself was burning with fever. She was both angry and furious, and her whole being was in a bad state.
Fortunately, the imperial physician said she had just caught a cold and it was nothing serious.
Since I'm pregnant, I can't take too much medicine, so I just use a cold compress to reduce the fever.
The second princess was up all night, and her fever didn't subside until Shu Chengfeng went to the morning court session.
Consort Jing, having suffered an injustice, naturally refused to let it go.
He was too weak that day, but the next day he went to pay his respects to the Empress. When he came out, he forced Consort Wen to kneel on the Jiyu Bridge as punishment.
"You slut! You're so good at seducing His Majesty, how could I possibly resist?"
Wen Meiren remained silent.
It's quite a coincidence that Aunt Lu didn't come out today; she's studying Consort Jing's meals.
I never expected this to happen.
Wen Meiren also felt wronged; she hadn't gone to intercept the child. The child was indeed sick, and as the child's mother, she was worried sick.
Consort Jing was furious; who would dare to offend her?
None of those walking this way are of high rank; who would dare to advise them against it?
Besides, with Consort Wen in the emperor's favor, there are quite a few people who dislike her.
Wen Meiren had been exhausted for two days, unable to sleep or eat properly. Now, being forced to kneel as punishment, she felt completely dazed.
Consort Jing looked at her and felt that she was being disrespected. She was also very irritable during her pregnancy, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She kicked her.
The place where Wen Meiren was kneeling was right on the edge of the bridge, and this kick sent her straight into the ditch.
The ditch isn't deep, and even a child wouldn't drown if they went in, but it's so cold in the middle of winter.
The water hasn't frozen solid yet.
