Of course, Zheng Wanfeng should be content, as long as she doesn't know the details of the Hu Sicheng she married, and she doesn't know that she is about to marry an ordinary family. Although the people who serve each other in person praised Hu Sicheng for being in the sky and without the earth, when Zheng Wanfeng asked more about how old Hu Sicheng was, how many people were in the family, where his ancestral home, etc., the maids couldn't tell why, so Zheng Wanfeng felt a little worried and always felt something was wrong.
When Zheng Wanli and the third prince Yue were engaged, the maids knew everything about the third prince Yue. Even the third prince Yue’s entourage knew what the third prince Yue’s entourage was named, but when she came here, she knew nothing except the name of her fiancé. This was a bit wrong. However, Mrs. Zheng arranged a lot of nannies to take turns teaching Zheng Wanfeng the skills that must be mastered as a wife, so that Zheng Wanfeng had no time to think about it. Although Zheng Wanfeng had doubts in her heart, she was also not easy to ask because of her thin skin.
Seeing that Zheng Wanfeng was almost ready for a little bit, except for the one in the public, Master Zheng Si thought about Mrs. Zheng Si and gave him another 1,000 taels of silver in the box. Of course, this was told to Mrs. Zheng Si, not privately subsidized.
Seeing that Master Zheng Si was so cautious about his feelings, Mrs. Zheng Si received the favor of Master Zheng Si. With a wave of his hand, he put another two thousand taels of money on his own and raised a full three thousand taels of money for Zheng Wanfeng. Although Mrs. Zheng Si didn't like Zheng Wanfeng, Zheng Wanfeng wanted to call her "mother" concubine daughter after all. The concubine daughter was so ugly that she lost her face. She was not as short-sighted as Mrs. Zheng Er, and even the dowry of the concubine daughter would be deducted.
Just as Mrs. Zheng Si was preparing for Zheng Wanfeng's dowry, the Empress suddenly summoned Xu Shu into the palace.
The queen had not summoned Xu Shu to the palace for a long time, and the female family members of the Xu family had not been to the palace for a while. Because of the empress' miscarriage, the atmosphere in the palace was quite depressing. There was no large-scale banquet at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and the old lady only went to the palace to ask for peace during the New Year.
Xu Shu knew why after receiving the post, the queen should have no choice but to think of her, but the child in Li Jieyu's belly was destined to be unable to survive...
After so long, Xu Shu suddenly received a summon from the Queen, and Mrs. Zheng Si also smelled an unusual breath. Especially based on the past situation, every time the Queen summoned Xu Shu, something big was about to happen, and this time was probably no exception...
Mrs. Zheng Si was particularly worried, but the Empress did not summon her, and she could not go to the palace with Xu Shu, so she could only send Xu Shu away with trepidation.
Seeing Mrs. Zheng Si’s anxious look, Xu Shu couldn’t help but comfort her, “The palace is not a tiger’s den, so mother doesn’t need to worry!”
Mrs. Zheng Si didn't know what she was worried about, so she could only say, "I'm afraid you will meet King Qing in the palace. I heard that the Empress Dowager of the Great Empress Dowager summoned King Qing recently!"
"No! Mother, don't worry, the Empress sent Madam Yuan to wait at the palace gate. As soon as I enter the palace, I will go directly to the Empress's place. It is not the same as the Empress's place. Even if King Qing enters the palace today, he will not encounter it!"
"Then you must be careful!" Mrs. Zheng Si repeatedly told her, and reluctantly sent Xu Shu away.
I haven't seen the queen for a few months. At first sight, the queen seemed to have grown much older. The former queen's makeup looked like a thirty-year-old beauty. However, after a few months, the fine lines on the corners of the queen's eyes could not be covered by the amount of powder. Her plump cheeks were also a little sunken, and her old look was already showing. No matter how much makeup was used to modify her clothes, it would be useless.
What has the queen experienced in the past few months?
"Are you here?" Seeing Xu Shu, the queen seemed to see the last glimmer of hope, and a ray of light ignited in her eyes.
"My daughter has met the Queen, the Queen is a thousand years old!"
"Get up!" The queen glanced at Xu Shu and found that Xu Shu's face was not very good. She couldn't help but feel strange, "I haven't seen you in the past few months, why are you so much worse?" Logically speaking, if Xu Shu has nothing to do in the past few months and no one in the Zheng family is embarrassed by her, Xu Shu's complexion should be getting better and better!
Xu Shu couldn't help but touch her face. The edges and corners on her face were a little uncomfortable, and she said in surprise, "Is that right?" Her face was so bad that the queen who hadn't seen for a long time could see the difference from the past at a glance. What about Zhou Jin? Did Zhou Jin also notice it?
"But somebody in the Zheng family makes things difficult for you?" asked the queen, "If someone makes things difficult for you, just tell me that I will make decisions for you. Even if my mother is my husband, I will tell her!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Xu Shufu thanked her, "It's just that the empress is overly worried! She is tired because she assisted her mother in taking care of the tenth sister's dowry today. It will be fine when she finishes her work!"
The queen nodded, as if she believed Xu Shu's words, and then ordered Madam Yuan, "Go and get some ginseng, deer antler bird's nests, and bring them with her when Miss Jiu leaves later."
"Yes!" Madam Yuan stepped down and prepared what the Empress ordered, and took away the maids in the room.
As soon as the person left, the queen relaxed and straightened her shoulders, and her whole body was exhausted, especially the fatigue in her eyes, which was undoubtedly revealed, "Do you know what the Japanese Palace summoned you for?"
"I don't know, please let the queen tell me!" Even though Xu Shu guessed, the queen still had to speak out, otherwise the queen would suspect that she had known the result a long time ago, but she would not remind her.
The queen reached out to hold her forehead, her fingers were thin, and her fingernails dyed with bright red elixirs showed a bit of cruel weirdness, "Li Jieyu's fetus is about to end..."
It's really for this...
Xu Shu estimated the amount of medicine the queen used, and it was found that Li Jieyu's fetus could only be preserved until this time.
"The imperial physician said that some children are born with weak symptoms, some children will be exposed slowly after they are born, and some children are already revealed in the womb. This is how Li Jieyu is..."
After saying this, the queen suddenly turned red. She just wanted a prince or a prince. Why was it so difficult? She couldn't give birth to her own, so she recognized her. Who told her to be old? It's no longer suitable for childbirth! So she asked others to give birth to her, but Concubine Li is still so young. Why can't Concubine Li give birth to a prince for her?
"If I can last until I am born, I will search for the best medicines in the world to grow up safely, but I can't last ten months of pregnancy and can't last..."
