Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 221 Life and Death
The eldest prince woke up after the injection, and fell asleep again after drinking a bowl of medicine.

In the next two days, the First Prince would wake up from time to time, but not for long.

The son was dying, and seeing that he was about to die, the emperor was furious, "Check it out, let me check it out, why did the eldest prince eat something that is incompatible?"

In the imperial dining room, those who serve the eldest prince are in danger.

The emperor was furious, laying corpses thousands of miles away. In just one day, more than [-] court ladies and servants were beaten to death.

The execution place was blood-stained, it was horrible.

Concubine Liu Xian stayed by the eldest prince's side, almost blinded by crying.

She has long since fallen out of favor, and the emperor seldom enters the harem. If the eldest prince dies, she will have nothing to rely on.

The queen mother was upset by her crying, kicked her hard, and said sharply: "Go away and cry."

Now that I know I'm crying, why did I go early?

As long as he puts his heart into it, the eldest prince will not be harmed like this.

The imperial hospital has all kinds of precious medicinal materials. In order to save the eldest prince, the imperial physician also disregarded the taboo of using tiger and wolf medicines.

Bowls of medicine were poured into the eldest prince's mouth desperately, but the breath of the eldest prince was still getting weaker day by day.

This morning, the First Prince, who had been suffering for several days, passed away.

With the death of the first prince, the only son left of the emperor is the second prince.

For a prince who died young, there is no need for the government to ban banquet music, and the common people don't need to ban marriage, and they don't even need to go to the palace to cry.

Even so, the governments are still very honest. Before the coffin was buried in the imperial mausoleum, it was hung for a few days. At this time, it is better not to offend the emperor.

The eldest prince's coffin was placed in the prince's place for seven days, and the day before the funeral, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites folded it up, expressing that all the prefectures should set up road sacrifices for the elder prince's funeral.

The emperor pretended to think for a while, "I lost my beloved son, and you feel the same. Since you have asked me, how can I refuse?"

When the government heard about this, they kindly said: "After all, he is the eldest son of the emperor, he is different from ordinary people's children, so let's do the road sacrifice."

The mean one said: "I don't know if a child less than five years old can afford such a big ostentation for the funeral of a child who is under five years old.

Whether you like it or not, all the prefectures on this road have to be placed, stretching for more than ten miles.

Jiang Changning, who is pregnant, wants to avoid funeral affairs, and the road sacrifices in Jinwang's mansion are only for servants.

Song Yirou stayed at her mother's house and refused to go back to the palace. After so long arguing with each other, it didn't work out. There were only servants in the road sacrificial shed in Ningxia Palace.

No one gossips in Jinwangfu, but Ningxiawangfu is pointed out, "On the day of marriage, the bride falls asleep in the sedan chair. This is a bad omen. It's strange if you don't get along with each other."

"I heard that the person Mrs. Song wants to marry is King Jin."

"What you said was before marriage, but now men and women are married."

"I heard that the Song family made peace and divorce just to marry King Jin."

"Princess Jin is still here, how can she marry?"

"It's impossible to let the main wife not be a concubine, right?"

After some discussion, they came to a conclusion: "The rumors are not credible."

Song Yirou really never thought about being a concubine, she wanted to be the concubine of Jin, and in order to sell Wen Po, she secretly sold a dowry Zhuangzi.

Yes, she didn't have enough money, and she didn't dare to ask Mrs. Song Er for it, so she could only sell the dowry.

There are more than a dozen Wen women who often go in and out of various mansions, but Jiang Changning, who is six months pregnant, is not in a hurry. It has not yet been decided that the two Wen women will deliver the baby, so she has to buy all the Wen women.

Here Song Yirou spends money like water, while Jiang Changning over there is making a lot of money.

Jiang Changning makes toys for children, which are loved by all the children in the city.

Women and children's money is the best earned.

"Princess, the total is 390 taels." Fangju said pleasantly after finishing the calculation.

"Not bad, not bad, it's worth my time and effort to draw them." Jiang Changning was quite satisfied, "Give 1 taels to Uncle Nan, 5000 taels to Aunt Gui, and exchange the rest for gold and silver melon seeds and send them to the government."

After Jiang Changning took over the Jiang family's business, he began to sprinkle money everywhere to do good deeds, and Aunt Gui took care of the charity house.

Fang Ju put away the account book and was about to go out when Shu Fei came in, "Princess, Grandmother Zhuang Wu gave birth."

"Is it a son or a daughter?" Jiang Changning asked casually.

"It's a girl, mother and daughter are safe." Shu Fei lied because she was afraid of scaring Jiang Changning.

Zhuang Qingmei had seizures in the middle of the night before, and she didn't give birth to the baby until early this morning.

It didn't matter if it took a long time, but after she was born, she had another hemorrhage, the doctor diagnosed her, and it will be difficult for her offspring.

Jiang Changning said calmly: "It's fine when you give birth, as usual, send a gift."

The Zhuang family knew that Zhuang Qingmei had given birth to a daughter, and it was difficult to return the heir, as if struck by lightning, "What should I do?"

Eldest Princess Yirao asked her son-in-law to take Zhuang Qingmei as a concubine for the sake of her offspring. Now that Zhuang Qingmei can't have a baby, she will definitely take a second concubine.

As the Zhuang family thought, Princess Yirao let out the wind and wanted to take two concubines for her son-in-law, and whoever gave birth to a son should be named his wife.

Those who have concubine daughters in the family are very jealous, and the invitation card for the flower viewing party of Eldest Princess Yirao is sent out.

Prince Jin's Mansion also received one, which was for Yan Yinyao.

Looking at the invitation, Yan Yinyao was a little dumbfounded, "Why did you send me the invitation?"

Not to mention that she was still in the period of filial piety, even if she returned home with Li, the second daughter of the Yan family would not be a concubine.

"Is Yirao trying to humiliate the Jin Palace?" The concubine was furious.

"Mother and concubine calm down, my cousin is afraid that the prince will be troubled." Jiang Changning said.

"How do you say that?" Yan Yinyao asked in confusion.

"In Annan's rebellion, the emperor wanted General Xiong to lead his troops there at first, but the prince firmly opposed it. General Xiong did not recover, and now he is still at home. Princess Yirao shouldn't be so brainless. This should be the son-in-law's intention Let your father out."

Although it was a guess, it was accidentally guessed correctly. This invitation was really sent by Prince Xiong.

"Come here, ask Chang Shi to send the invitation back to the princess mansion in person, and tell the eldest princess that Jin Wang's mansion has a low family background and cannot be climbed high." The concubine sneered.

Chang Shi took the invitation and went to the eldest princess's mansion, and asked to see the eldest princess Yirao. After handing the invitation to her, he said what the concubine had said, cupped his hands and said, "Eldest princess, I will take my leave."

Princess Yirao was so angry that her face turned blue, "Go, get me the son-in-law."

The son-in-law Xiong was not in the Princess Mansion, so the servants searched around, and found the son-in-law Xiong who was drinking flower wine in Fengyue Tower in the city.

When Concubine Xiong returned to the Princess Mansion smelling of alcohol, he was faced with the angry eyes of Eldest Princess Yirao and the invitation card thrown over him, "Are you crazy? Why did you provoke Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"It's just a widow, it's her blessing that I can take her as a concubine." Xiong Concubine said disapprovingly.

"Bless your size, if you want to die, you can die. If you die, this princess will remarry." Eldest Princess Yirao said angrily.

Seeing that she was really angry, Prince Xiong quickly subdued and coaxed, "Princess, don't be angry, I did this because King Jin went too far. He targeted my father in the court, which caused my father to stay at home all the time. I am really sorry." I was so angry that I sent the invitation in a moment of dizziness, I didn't really want to take her as my concubine, princess, my good princess."

Xiong Concubine said while reaching out his hand to look inside the skirt of Eldest Princess Yirao.
