Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 281

"Thanks to the imperial concubine, I only have my seventieth birthday, so why bother your empress?"

Mrs. Tai stood up and saluted with the support of several granddaughters-in-law, and the prince hurriedly supported her.

"Mrs. Tai's words are off the charts. You are the lonely great-grandmother and the mother-in-law's own grandmother. How can you be bothered! The mother-in-law has been busy for three days for this gift, and she is barely satisfied with the gift. Let Gu send it out, and that’s not enough!" The crown prince felt that it was necessary to let the old lady know what the concubine mother wanted, and sometimes others would not know what you did if you just did it but didn't talk about it.

"Once again, I would like to thank my mother for her great love. My mother's kindness can never be repaid by me. Please pass on my thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Mrs. Tai held the prince's hand again and again to thank her, and even sent her great-grandson away with tears in her eyes.The prince only stayed for an hour, told them something about the imperial concubine and the fourth prince, and then left. He didn't stay for long.

The great-grandson is so old, what about the empress in the palace?No girl was born in the Fang family, and the empress became the only living girl.But they haven't entered the palace for several years, and they don't know how the empress's life in the palace is like?Only occasionally the Marquis of Yongning would hear something about the empress from the mouth of the fourth prince.Then come back and tell them. At this time, the whole family gathers together to listen to Yongning Hou talk about the empress.

They will be worried when the empress is sick, the empress is in a good mood and sits on the swing in the yard, and even asks His Royal Highness to push the swing for her, etc. These trivial things in life make them want to listen to them, and they can't wait to see her in person.

And the empress also cares about them. Although she can't leave the palace, every year she will reward things back to the Marquis Mansion, as well as the wine she brewed herself. Weeping in the wine jar, calling the name of the empress.

The same goes for the brothers of the empress. Every August [-]th, they will gather together to celebrate the birthday of the empress. Even if she can't hear or see, they still gather together to wish their little sister a safe and long life. hundred years old.

Now, except for the third brother who is still a fifth-rank civil servant, the rise of the brothers is relatively slow, and the others are all military generals above the third rank. There is no brother who is better than them in the entire capital.

As for the third child, the emperor's promotion was slow because he wanted to train him more, but after a few more years, his qualifications are enough, and the promotion speed will definitely not be slower than theirs.

At the same time, their father was about to step down and pass on the title of Marquis to Fang Dalang. This was to make way for them, and at the same time, he wanted the emperor not to be too jealous of their Fang family.

"Mrs. Tai and the others seem to be in good health, but they miss their mother very much. When I mentioned mother's matter, there were still tears and hope in their eyes."

The crown prince told Shuning and the fourth prince about his going to Yongninghou's mansion. The fourth prince hadn't been to Yongninghou's mansion yet!
"Next time I will go to see my great-grandmother, and I will bring her a painting so that she can see what my mother looks like now."

Speaking of this, the fourth prince also learned sketching from a western painter, and he also has some foundation, so it is not a problem to draw a picture for Shu Ning.

Shuning looked at him with a smile, "Thank you, mother."

"You're welcome, this is what a son should do." The fourth prince waved his little hand, indicating that this was just a trivial matter to him, and he could also go to the Yongning Hou Mansion to see the yard where his mother used to live!

"The fourth brother is great, I can't compare to the fourth brother!"

In this respect, the crown prince is indeed incomparable with the fourth prince. I really don't know how the fourth prince learned it. I feel that he is faster at learning Western learning than himself.And in terms of hands-on ability, not only has the new musket been improved, but he can also make handmade products by himself, such as clocks and watches, the fourth prince can also make them by himself.

"That is, that is."

The fourth prince raised his head proudly, causing Shuning and the prince to giggle endlessly.

"I heard Si Huang'er's voice from a long distance away, what joke is Xiao Si making?"

The emperor strode in, still holding a few boxes.

"Father, what is this?"

The fourth prince jumped up and reached for it.

"Hey, don't move, be careful to break it."

The emperor raised it lightly, but the fourth prince didn't touch it.

"Show me, Dad, you're terrified of me."

The fourth prince jumped anxiously, he was always very curious, if he was not told that he would not even be able to sleep at night.

"Wait until I leave you to see later, don't worry."

The emperor sat beside Shuning and put down the box in his hand.

"This is?"

Shuning opened the box under the emperor's signal, and found a set of porcelain dolls with a family portrait.

There are the emperor, the queen mother, the empress, the noble concubine, the crown prince, and the fourth prince. Even the eldest prince has a share with the married eldest princess and the second princess. The only one who doesn't is the second prince.

"What about this one?" Pointing to another box.

"Open it, and send it to the queen later."

said the emperor.

Shu Ning's body trembled, and she opened it gently. As expected, there was only Jing Ran's doll in front of her. He and the Queen's doll stood together, holding hands.

"Hey~ I see, I'll send it to my sister later."

Shuning sighed, in fact, not only the empress has been missing Jingran, but the emperor too, right?This is the only brother he agrees with, and he died for him, how could the emperor not want to.

The emperor also thought, if Jingran didn't die, would he be more relaxed today because he had a brother to share the pressure on his shoulders?

But there was no solution, because Jing Ran had already died, leaving them only memories.

After Shu Ning delivered the porcelain baby, she heard bursts of suppressed cries as soon as she walked outside the door.

He waved his hand to let Nanny Chen back down, while Shuning stood guard at the door.

Love hurts others as well as herself. Fortunately, she didn't fall in love with anyone.

Shu Ning also thought, if Jing Ran wasn't so good, wouldn't the emperor and empress miss him so much, and wouldn't feel uncomfortable when thinking of him?
However, Jing Ran was so perfect from what she heard from the empress and the emperor, even the empress dowager praised him as a man of love and righteousness.How can such a person be forgotten?
Now that the empress and emperor are in pain, Shuning can do nothing but accompany them to miss them.Sometimes comfort will only make them more uncomfortable, it is better to let them vent.At this time, Shu Ning would dedicate the crown prince and the fourth prince to the emperor, let him train them, and let out the depression in his heart.
