Chapter 1546: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
Without the order from the Emperor and Empress, the several concubines remained in the palaces where they originally lived.
Shi Li selected a set of four treasures of the study, brought only two maids, and personally visited Concubine Jing, who gave birth to the tenth prince.
Concubine Jing is just 30 years old this year. She was once a talented woman famous in the capital. Later, she entered the palace and was suppressed by the Imperial Concubine. She became unknown in the palace. She nearly died when she gave birth to the tenth prince. It was not easy for her to give birth to this only hope.
Hearing that Shi Li was coming to visit her, Concubine Jing immediately came out of the palace. Even though she was Shi Li's elder, she knew what time it was, so she didn't dare to make trouble.
Shi Li recalled that the original owner seemed to have met this Concubine Jing once before, so she said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Concubine Jing is still as elegant as ever."
Concubine Jing subconsciously touched her cheek and smiled helplessly, "Princess, you are too kind. Please come in and talk."
She was undoubtedly a smart person and knew the purpose of Shi Li's trip was to find a place for herself.
The tenth prince was young and could not set up his own residence. As his biological mother, she could only move to another palace with other concubines who had no children. But as a mother, how could she rest assured about her child? This was also what the emperor and empress were worried about.
If Concubine Jing made a fuss at this time, it would be really embarrassing.
Concubine Jing was also conflicted. She knew she should move to another palace, but she was worried about her young son. But if she stayed in the palace, it would be against etiquette and would be even more criticized.
Furthermore, her mother's family is also a noble family in Changning, and any move could have a far-reaching impact.
So after considering many factors, Concubine Jing remained silent, just waiting to see how the emperor and empress would respond, but what she waited for was Shi Li.
The news of the Queen's pregnancy had not yet spread outside, and Concubine Jing didn't know why Shi Li came, so she could only talk to her patiently.
Finally, I heard that Shi Li had someone bring up the four treasures of the study for Concubine Jing to review.
"I have never met my tenth uncle, but I have heard my father and mother praise him for being smart and studious, so I prepared this gift."
Shi Li observed Concubine Jing's expression and said, "Speaking of which, I just returned to Changning and there are many things I need to learn. Concubine, I will have to bother Uncle Shi from now on."
Concubine Jing saw that Shi Li took all the good things. When she heard what she said, she was a little surprised, "Princess, what is this..."
"My father has invited several great scholars for me. From now on, I will study together with my tenth uncle. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Shi Li said this, which was a decision that he and the Emperor and Empress had already discussed.
After all, people's hearts are hidden, and it is understandable that Concubine Jing is worried about her son, but if the Tenth Prince and Shi Li are allowed to study together, the Emperor and Empress will never treat their own daughter badly.
"I also know that the Queen Mother is knowledgeable, and I will inevitably bother her to ask for advice with Uncle Ten in the future." Shi Li saw that the Queen Mother Jing was pondering what she had said, and said another sentence tactfully.
When Concubine Jing moved to another palace in the future, she would often bring the Tenth Prince to visit her and would never let the mother and son be separated for a long time.
Concubine Jing understood the meaning of her words and looked up at Shi Li. Shi Li was not in a hurry, he picked up the teacup, smiled and let her look at him.
After a long while, Concubine Jing finally smiled appropriately. "Everyone said that the princess was tortured during her trip to the west, but I don't think it's a bad thing. The princess's magnanimity really impressed me."
Shi Li didn't care whether the compliment was sincere or not, but she knew that Concubine Jing had agreed.
So she smiled with relief, "Your Highness, you are so kind. It turns out that you are the most talented woman in Changning. There will be a lot to learn from you in the future."
After a conversation between the two, they finally reached a tacit understanding. Concubine Jing not only accepted the four treasures of the study given by Shi Li, but also gave her a set of luxurious and exquisite jewel head ornaments in return.
Shi Li walked out of her palace and stood on the road and breathed a sigh of relief. From the corner of her eye she saw what seemed to be a flying bird in the sky. She raised her head and took a closer look. It was actually a falcon that was not often seen in Changning.
"I don't know how he is now..."
Finally, she couldn't help but think of the person far away, her fingers gently stroked his sleeves, full of love.
"There are many sick children in the city. Why don't we keep things simple during the Mulan Festival?"
A few days later it was the Mulan Festival in Xifan. The custom was that children from each family would go to their doorsteps, stand on a high place and worship for an hour to receive the god's bathing blessing.
But the city has been rainy and slightly cold recently, and the young children are already sickly. The Son of God could not bear to trouble them, so he came to find Fu Zheng, who wanted to keep everything simple.
Ke Fu was writing something, and he didn't even raise his head when he heard this. He said calmly, "Don't worry about this matter, Master Shenzi."
"I can go and bless the young children." The Son of God didn't care about his attitude and continued with a frown.
Fu Zheng finally put down the pen in his hand, looked up at him coldly.
"I say, don't bother yourself." He just felt that the Son of God was trying to win people's hearts by doing this.
