Chapter 239 Good News (3)

"Your Majesty wants to pardon the world, and your Fifth Sister is going back to Beijing..." Sheng Xiuyi said to Dong Yuan after returning from the palace.

Dong Yuan couldn't help being surprised: "Is it true?"

Sheng Xiuyi smiled and nodded her nose, and said, "Why am I lying? Maybe at the end of July, your fifth sister will come back. Except for the concubine Shu in the palace, only your fifth sister is closer to you among the sisters in your family." Bar?"

Not very close.

When I was in my natal family, I thought it was normal, but after I got married, I always thought about my sisters at home.

The eleventh sister was in the palace, and it was really not easy to meet each other; the other sisters got married before they could have any friendship.Only the fifth sister is left...

Back then when Xue Jiangwan provoked Dong Yuan and Eleventh Sister, Fifth Sister was a peacemaker, and she also accompanied Dong Yuan when she got married.Those memories, like the sister's life, are precious.

Hearing that she was going back to Beijing, Dong Yuan couldn't help being happy.

"Third prince..." Seeing Dong Yuan happy, Sheng Xiuyi paused before saying.

The third prince is the prince born to Concubine Sheng.Emperor Yuanchang left in such a hurry that he couldn't even crown the young third prince as king.

"Third prince... what's wrong?" Dong Yuan carefully looked at Sheng Xiuyi's face and asked cautiously.

Sheng Xiuyi laughed: "Your Majesty named him King of Nanchang. Next month, he will go to Nanchang. I heard that the empress dowager will also go with her..."

The concubine is the third prince's mother and Sheng Xiuyi's sister.

When Dong Yuan heard this, he took Sheng Xiuyi's hand and said, "Isn't this a good thing? The concubine lived a life of restraint in the palace all her life. Now she goes to Nanchang with the prince. Although it is a bit bitter, you can decide everything by yourself. Isn't it great?"

Sheng Xiuyi smiled, and shook Dong Yuan's hand instead: "I know, I also met the empress dowager today, and she is also very happy. Although there was such a special case in the previous dynasty, in the end it was the grace of your majesty and empress dowager. It's just...it won't be easy for my mother to meet the concubine in the future..."

Seeing Dong Yuan stunned and worried, Sheng Xiuyi smiled again: "The future will be long, it's always a good thing."

Dong Yuan nodded hastily: "It's indeed a good thing, did you tell mother?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Sheng Xiuyi was a little tired, got up and went to the clean room, "The third brother also met the empress dowager, maybe he told her."

The next day Dong Yuan went to pay his respects to Mrs. Sheng, and sure enough, she saw that Mrs. Sheng was in a strange mood.

The third grandma also came to pay her respects.

Mrs. Sheng liked the quietness of the third grandma very much, and she didn't avoid the third grandma like she used to avoid the second grandma when she spoke. She said to Aunt Dong Yuan: "...Have you heard? I'm going to Jiangxi. The Empress Dowager specially allowed the Empress Dowager to go with her."

Dong Yuan smiled to comfort Mrs. Sheng, and repeated what he said last night to comfort Sheng Xiuyi.

The third grandma also said aside: "I heard from my natal sister-in-law that there are many rules in the palace. Every time she enters the palace to greet the empress dowager, she is always cautious, for fear of making a wrong step. It’s even more difficult in the palace. After going to Jiangxi, there are no rules and you can live comfortably, isn’t it mother?”

Mrs. Sheng nodded repeatedly, took the hand of the third grandma, and said with a smile: "That's right, my son." Then she said to Dong Yuan, "Yu'er gave birth to a seven-aperture exquisite heart..."

Dong Yuan also laughed.

Although Shan Jiayu is shy, her words and deeds are very lovable.

Mrs. Sheng likes her very much, and Dong Yuan also thinks she is very affectionate.

Hearing Mrs. Sheng's praise, Shan Jiayu lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed red: "I'm always afraid of being stupid, and I won't be able to speak the right way, so I tell my mother to listen to the jokes."

Madam Sheng hugged her lightly: "My son, are you still stupid? Then we won't be able to speak."

Dong Yuan and the servant girls all over the room laughed.

After Dong Yuan and Third Mistress paid their respects, they each returned to their own yards.

Mrs. Sheng was still thinking about the concubine and Nanchang Wang. After Dong Yuan and the third grandma Shan Jiayu left, she chatted with Kang's mother: "I can't leave this house, and it will be difficult to see each other in the future. But The children are right. I am glad that the Empress Dowager can live a more comfortable life. She has never been at ease since the day she entered the Prince's Mansion. It is also a blessing to have the kindness of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty today. I should be happy..."

"I should be happy." Mother Kang said with a smile.

Mrs. Sheng smiled.

She still couldn't bear it.

As we talked, the topic became more and more relaxed. It turned from the King of Nanchang and the Concubine to Brother Cheng, and from Brother Cheng to the two pregnant daughters-in-law.

"Back when Ah Yuan came in, Hai Ge's daughter-in-law didn't deal with her, and the two of them were always tepid; as soon as Yu'er came in, Ah Yuan was very affectionate with her. It can be seen that the relationship between the two depends on fate. Ah Yuan Yuan and that child Yu'er are destined." Mrs. Sheng couldn't help laughing as she thought about the harmony between the two daughters-in-law.

Thinking of this, she thought it would be good if Second Mistress followed Second Master back to Huizhou Mansion.

Second Mistress has a rather strong personality, she and Dong Yuan have never been very intimate.If she was allowed to get close to Dong Yuan when she saw Shan Jiayu coming in, she would suspect that the two sisters-in-law were working together to isolate her and cause trouble again.

Now this is the most satisfactory.

Mother Kang didn't think as much as Mrs. Sheng thought. She also liked the harmony between the two young mistresses, so she smiled and said to Mrs. Sheng: "The character of the eldest grandma is a bit like that of the third grandma. Neither of them is the one who cares about everything. It's fate."

Madam Sheng nodded.

Within a few days, news about King Nanchang spread throughout the capital.

However, there was another news: the fifth prince named Chengxi King, and he did not go to Jiangxi with Nanchang King, but stayed in the capital.

When the concubine heard the news, she immediately repented and refused to go with Nanchang King, but wanted to stay with Chengxi King.

After all, King Chengxi is only two years old, and King Nanchang is almost 14 years old, so you have to choose one.

The King of Nanchang is about the same age as His Majesty, so His Majesty can rest assured that he can stay under His Majesty's nose.But thinking that before his death, the late emperor repeatedly said that he should treat the king of Nanchang well. For the sake of the last wish of the late emperor, His Majesty was gracious to the king of Nanchang to leave the capital with Concubine Sheng.

As long as the King of Nanchang goes, it doesn't matter whether Concubine Sheng goes or not, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager don't care.

The only one who wanted the concubine to leave was the King of Nanchang.He was young and never left the concubine.Hearing that the concubine would not go, he cried and went to Sheng Xiuyi and asked Sheng Xiuyi to persuade the concubine.

In the end, it became an embarrassing situation where the empress dowager did not leave and the King of Nanchang did not leave either.

His Majesty had no choice but to show another favor and let the prince of Nanchang stay in the capital.He receives a monthly salary from the Ministry of Internal Affairs every month, and has several thousand acres of fertile land in Shandong.

But the fiefdom of Nanchang Mansion was taken back.

Regarding this matter, Marquis Shengchang was so angry that it was useless to scold the King of Nanchang. He was only a few months younger than His Majesty, but he actually gave up the fiefdom because he could not bear to part with his mother.

You know, now the fief can still have its own guards.

If you stay in the capital, you will have nothing and let others slaughter you.

Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi thought it was good.

"The king of Nanchang has a laid-back personality. He has never thought of seeking power and usurping the throne. Why do you have to go to Nanchang and get some guards so that His Majesty won't worry about him? In the future, His Majesty's suspicions will increase, and he will be at ease by accusing the King of Nanchang of unnecessary crimes. Wouldn't it mean that the king of Nanchang would not die well? It is a good thing to live comfortably under His Majesty's eyes..." Sheng Xiuyi said to Sheng Changhou.

From this point of view, it is not a bad thing to stay in the capital if you can be with your mother and younger brother and have the Sheng family.

After all, the character of the King of Nanchang will not do anything at all.

Sheng Changhou also gradually accepted his fate.

If the king of Nanchang didn't leave, His Majesty was even more happy, and it was another kind of grace: if the concubine wants to live in the palace, she can live in the palace, and if she wants to live in the Nanchang palace, she can go to the Nanchang palace.

The concubine probably still likes the palace, so she didn't come out.

Mrs. Sheng and sister-in-law Dong Yuan can visit her at any time.

When Mrs. Sheng went to the imperial concubine's palace, there was no one around. The empress dowager said to Mrs. Sheng: "...I heard that I was going to Nanchang mansion. I was terrified. What good will happen to the prince who is released? Under your majesty's eyes, let your majesty rest assured that the prince can be safe. Later, I understood what your majesty and the queen mother meant when he was not allowed to take Chengxi away. I took the opportunity to stay. Mother, you go back and tell daddy this, lest daddy get angry. Blame the King of Nanchang for not contending..."

Mrs. Sheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Concubine, Brother Yi has already told Master Hou about this..." Then, she smiled slightly, "It's just that I have suffered a lot, and I can't leave this cage."

Concubine Sheng smiled and said: "Mother, don't be sad. I have been in this palace for a long time, and it is uncomfortable to go out. I know every plant and tree here. Besides, as long as King Nanchang and King Chengxi keep their own place, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager will not be sad." You will treat me badly. I am in the palace, and the two princes are more peaceful. It is best for me..."

After all, it was all for her two sons, Madam Sheng couldn't help showing a sad face.

Which bitch isn't like this?
Back at Shengchanghou's mansion, Mrs. Sheng told Shengchanghou what the concubine said.

Sheng Changhou also sighed, saying that the empress dowager had a good intention.

Within a few days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to build a mansion for King Chengxi.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August, and Mrs. Han sent someone to tell Dong Yuan that the old lady of the Han family had gone.

In July, Han Naihua, the third master of the Han family, got married and wanted to bring the old lady here, but the old lady had been ill since March and hadn't recovered yet, so Han Naihua's great joy didn't even come.

After a few months of suffering, the old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore and died of old age.

Dong Yuan sighed, and asked the steward of the Sheng family's outer courtyard to go to Anqing Mansion to pay homage to the Sheng family. She was pregnant with a child, so she couldn't go anywhere.

"I don't know if the Xue family is going to worship?" Dong Yuan told Madam Sheng about it, and Madam Sheng asked, "If the Xue family also goes to worship, you can ask the steward to go together, and take care of each other on the way..."

Dong Yuan listened for a long while without speaking.

She hasn't been to Xue's house for several days.

Ever since Sheng Xiuyi was falsely imprisoned, Dong Yuan's heart towards Xue's family became a little bit colder.She didn't blame Old Master Xue for being cruel, after all, politics is so vicious and dirty.

But politics aside, she still feels sad.

Probably because she invested too much and thought of her family as pure as her previous life, she couldn't accept that the old Hou Ye framed Sheng Xiuyi in order to hold Emperor Tianqing firmly in his hands.

Of course, compared with the Xue family's upbringing, this hurt Dong Yuan should not be kept in mind.She just needs time to get over that psychological hurdle.
