Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 142 Mrs. Shen

Empress Dowager Cai originally felt that her whole life from entering the palace to becoming empress dowager was due to the pain of being disliked by the late emperor. The late emperor did not favor her or her son, but the eldest son was the eldest son and he was the legitimate eldest son. Only with both talents and virtues can one successfully ascend the throne and become emperor. Empress Dowager Cai patted the table several times, her chest rising and falling, and said bitterly: "Your father's mess was left to be cleaned up by the son of the Ai family. This is too much!"

Emperor Ling did not expect that his mother would still care about him so much after the death of his late emperor. He quickly calmed down the emotional Empress Dowager Cai, sat down, and patted her on the back.

"Mother, now Shen Ruhua is rumored to be Tang Jingrui's concubine by people in Kyoto who don't know the truth. It really brings shame on our Ling family. This matter needs to be clarified as soon as possible."

If it weren't for the fact that Tang Jingrui was involved in the matter, Emperor Ling would not have wanted to resume Ruhua's status as the eldest princess at this time.

This time, the scandal between Mr. Tang Sanye and Shen Ruhua made a big fuss, and Emperor Ling had to make up his mind to give Shen Ruhua a legitimate identity.

The late emperor not only left a will, but also preserved a series of investigations that led to the knowledge of Ruhua's existence. There is no doubt about Ruhua's life experience. It is even said that Ruhua's appearance is similar to that of the late emperor.

Emperor Ling saw that Empress Dowager Cai was still refusing to let go, so he advised her again: "If Ruhua's identity is revealed, the mother will be treated as multiple daughters;

If the queen mother really doesn't like Ruhua, just let her live in the princess's mansion with her children. "

Emperor Ling put his arms around Empress Dowager Cai's shoulders and continued to persuade, "My father missed her even before his death, which shows that he was very happy for his only daughter. Why should the queen care about her deceased father? Let the past be bygones."

Empress Dowager Cai was shocked and angry when she heard the news. After listening to her son's consolation, she felt that she was over the top.

"That's all, the emperor will make the decision."

Tang Bingxuan and Jiang Shunian packed Zhidong's freshly baked snacks in food boxes, and led Zhixia, Jiang Ming and four others slowly to the door of the Zhuangzi next door.

Jiang Ming explained the reason to the gatekeeper in Qin's village. The gatekeeper invited a few people in and quickly sent someone to report that there was a visitor at the master's house.

The person who came to the hot spring village was Empress Qin's sister-in-law, Mrs. Li of the Marquis of Wu'an, who also came here with her family to soak in the hot springs and stay for a few days.

Tang Bingxuan walked into the living room and saw not only the crown prince's wife Li Shi and his daughter Qin Zhilan sitting in the hall, but also an unfamiliar and beautiful young woman.

Qin Zhilan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, did not become the Crown Princess. She is now past the age of hairpin and has not yet heard of an engagement. If nothing else, she should still be aiming for the position of Crown Prince Liangdi.

The levels of the prince's concubines are: one prince, two Liangdi, six Liangyuan, ten Chenghui, sixteen Zhaoxun, and twenty-four Fengyi.

These are still the concubines of the Eastern Palace who are of high rank, and the number of maids who serve in the dormitory are not counted.

Tang Bingxuan and Princess Pingyu were good sisters, so they naturally didn't want anyone to take away Pingyu's husband, but this was not something she, a housewife, could decide.

The Qin family is the mother clan of the queen and the strongest supporter of the prince. Whether to marry Qin Zhilan into the palace is also a matter for the East Palace. I hope that Pingyu will give birth to the emperor's grandson safely and grow up quickly.

Tang Bingxuan thought a lot when she saw Qin Zhilan, but she always maintained a dignified and polite attitude on her face.

The two of them saluted and greeted the crown prince's wife, Mrs. Li, and explained the purpose of the couple's arrival. Zhixia handed the snack box to the Qin family servant. The crown prince's wife, Mrs. Li, did not introduce the specific identity of the unfamiliar woman, and just asked Tang Bingxuan to call her Mrs. Shen.

The Duke of Rongguo and the Marquis of Wu'an were not familiar with each other in the first place, and it was enough for them to meet each other to save face. The couple did not stay much, but declined the prince's wife Li's kindness to stay for a meal, and took their leave and returned to their own village.

Jiang Shunian has been a little quiet since he came out of the Qin family's hot spring resort, which is really not like his usual style. Even before going there, he was still very talkative.

The few people returned to their village, Tang Bingxuan sent the waiter away, and there were only two people in the house.

Today, when she visited Qinjiazhuangzi, Tang Bingxuan didn't notice anything inappropriate except that Mrs. Shen was a bit mysterious. It was just that Jiang Shunian was so abnormal that she had to work hard to recall the details of the trip.

"Ms. sir, what's wrong with the Qin family?"

Seeing Tang Bingxuan looking at him doubtfully, Jiang Shunian reached out and pinched her round face, and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong, I just have a suspicion that has been confirmed."

When Tang Bingxuan and his wife entered the village, Jiang Shunian took a quick glance at the female family members coming from the Qin family village not far away, and felt that there was someone who knew but should not be there.

After finding out that next door was Zhuangzi from the Qin family of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Jiang Shunian sent Jiang Qi out to inquire about it, but found nothing. After all, it was not easy to pry into Zhuangzi's inner house in broad daylight.

When he accompanied Tang Bingxuan to meet the mysterious Mrs. Shen, Jiang Shunian confirmed his guess.

Shen Ruhua's son is now six years old. Even if Shen Ruhua takes good care of himself, he is still in his twenties.

Shen Ruhua's appearance is five-fifths that of the late emperor's, and the current emperor's facial features are the most similar to his among the sons of the late emperor. It is impossible for the emperor to have a daughter as old as Shen Ruhua, so she can only be a younger sister.

Queen Qin's natal sister-in-law took Shen Ruhua to live in the Qin family's hot spring village, and she must have roughly known Shen Ruhua's identity. It seemed that Shen Ruhua would soon regain her status as the eldest princess.

Jiang Shunian thought that since the two families were so close, they could take care of each other if anything happened, so it was necessary to remind Tang Bingxuan that Mrs. Shen had a special status.

He leaned close to Tang Bingxuan's ear and blew a breath. Seeing his wife's ears turn red instantly, Jiang Shunian felt a little mischievous and proud, "Madam, the Mrs. Shen I just met is Shen Ruhua."

When Tang Bingxuan heard this, she didn't even care about Jiang Shunian's entertainment. She looked at Jiang Shunian with wide eyes, "You mean why is she with Queen Qin's family?"

Jiang Shunian was about to tell Tang Bingxuan Shen Ruhua's true identity when Zhixia knocked on the door, "Miss, uncle, someone from the Qin family of Zhuangzi next door is here."

Jiang Shunian and Tang Bingxuan looked at each other and quickly ordered people to let the Qin family enter the hall to talk.

The person coming from the Qin family was Qi's mother, who was beside Mrs. Li, the Marquis of Wu'an. Mother Qi entered the hall and hurriedly saluted Jiang Shunian and his wife, and directly stated the purpose of their visit.

"Third Master Jiang, Third Madam, and Young Master Shen from Mrs. Shen's family, a relative of my eldest son's wife, just ran out. Mrs. Shen and our wives are all looking for him in the village;
The old slave is leading people to search around Zhuangzi, and I have come here specifically to tell you two that if Young Master Shen comes to the Third Lady’s Zhuangzi, please ask the Third Lady to inform our house. "

When Tang Bingxuan heard that Mrs. Shen's son had gone missing, she thought that the mother Mrs. Shen must be anxious and worried, so she hurriedly agreed and asked the servants in the village to help Qi's mother search for him.
