Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 386
Parents can't hold back their children, and even grandmothers can't hold back their grandsons. On the day when the little emperor's grandson, He Lian, was singing full moon, the queen mother let go, "Choose an auspicious day, and let Xiaobai and He's get married."

With the marriage of the ship king, the marriage of Bao Wang is also on the agenda.

King Bao is not like the prince, who is too busy to care about his children's personal affairs.

It's not like the ship king who has a lively personality and wants to find a wife by himself. When Jiang Changning asked him what kind of girl he likes, his request was: "Good-looking, obedient, and quiet."

"That's it?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

King Bao nodded, "Let the empress worry."

"A hundred-year-old son, long-term worry 99, the queen mother takes care of you, happy for you." Jiang Changning laughed.

The three requirements of repaying the king sounded quite simple, but there was still a certain degree of difficulty in fulfilling them.

Good-looking, not necessarily obedient and quiet.

Obedient and quiet, but not necessarily good-looking.

But just after the second son's wedding banquet, the third son's marriage is not in a hurry, take his time, and he can always find a good girl who suits him.

Life is like floating clouds and morning dew. In a blink of an eye, the Crown Princess gave birth to her fifth child with the Crown Prince. This child was another daughter. Emperor Xuanzhi named her He Lianying.

Before that, He Dandan gave birth to her and the eldest son of the ship king. Emperor Xuanzhi also named his grandson: Helian Chengzhang

The happy events followed one after another, and the full moon banquet for the two children was held, and then it was the day to report the king's marriage.

With the consent of Emperor Xuanzhi, Jiang Changning chose a wife to report to the king, a girl from the Ji family.

The Ji family is a famous eunuch in the capital. Not only is she beautiful, she has a calm and indifferent personality, and she is wise in dealing with things. The most important thing is that she has the same interests as King Bao, and they both like reading.

Of the three granddaughters-in-law, the Empress Dowager is the most satisfied with the Ji family. With this satisfaction, even Jiang Changning got what she rewarded, a white jade kang table screen.

It's just that in this life, there are joys and sorrows, life and death.

In the autumn of the 16th year of Xuanzhi, the queen mother was seriously ill. Jiang Changning took turns guarding the queen mother with his three daughters-in-law and daughters.

This day is Xia Xueer's birthday, Jiang Changning asked Xiao Yu'er to go out of the palace to play, and she went to serve the sick.

The palace maid came in with the medicine, "Your Majesty, it's time for the Empress Dowager to take the medicine."

Jiang Changning glanced at the queen mother who was lying on the bed, her chest barely rising and falling, as if she was exhaling a lot, taking in a little, and was about to die soon, and sighed secretly.

It doesn't matter whether you take this medicine or not, it won't save your life anyway.

But Jiang Changning couldn't and couldn't say that.

"Queen, wake up, it's time to drink medicine." Jiang Changning walked to the bed and called softly.

After calling several times in a row, the queen mother made a weak voice.

"Queen Mother, I'll help you up." Jiang Changning easily helped the skinny Empress Dowager who had been in bed for several months.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, her gaze was distracted, "Emperor."

"Fanbang is coming to court, His Majesty is seeing the mission, and will be here in a while."

"This medicine. I won't drink it if it doesn't work."

"My queen, I changed the prescription. This is a new prescription prescribed by several imperial physicians. If it is suitable, it will definitely cure my mother's illness." Jiang Changning lied to persuade him.

"Can it be cured?" The Queen Mother didn't believe it.

Jiang Changning said firmly: "It can be cured."

"Okay, I'll drink." The queen mother didn't want to die either, she hasn't enjoyed enough blessings yet.

She was still able to swallow, and a large bowl of medicine was drained, but it was a pity that the medicine was useless.

After feeding the queen mother and drinking the medicine, Jiang Changning helped her lie down again, and helped her tuck the corner of the quilt, "Queen mother, take a good rest."

Seeing the Queen Mother falling into a coma again, Jiang Changning got up and walked out.

A gust of autumn wind blew a few withered and yellow leaves down in front of her.

Jiang Changning squatted down, picked up a fallen leaf, and sighed softly.

Autumn is here and the leaves are withering.

When a person reaches his twilight years, it is like autumn, the season of withering.

But if you can live, who wants to die!

Those who can be indifferent to life and death are still a minority after all.

Jiang Changning asked himself, she was not so open-minded, looked down at the fallen leaves in her hands, and said: "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely."

"I say autumn is better than spring." Emperor Xuanzhi's voice sounded.

Jiang Changning raised his eyes, "Your Majesty is coming."

"Is the queen mother in a bad situation?" Emperor Xuan Zhi asked with a worried face.

Jiang Changning nodded, "Today is worse than yesterday, and there is almost no time to wake up, Your Majesty, you have to be mentally prepared."

Emperor Xuanzhi's eyes showed sadness, "I'll go in and see the queen mother."

The current situation of the Empress Dowager is just like what Jiang Changning said, she is drowsy, her breath is weak, and she sometimes disappears.

With her like this, Emperor Xuanzhi, who is his son, is heartbroken, but who can snatch someone from the hand of Hades?

Even if you are the emperor, you can't turn back time.

After a while, the prince brothers came with their wives and children.

The eldest son of the Ji family and King Bao was only half a year old, and they brought the little grandson with him. Jiang Changning hugged the little grandson, "The wind is blowing, and the weather is getting colder. How did you bring Xiao Sheng'er into the palace?"

"My daughter-in-law put on thick clothes for Xiao Sheng, so it shouldn't freeze him." Ji explained.

The Queen Mother's situation is really not good. The imperial doctor said that she might not be able to make it through tonight, so she had to bring her son into the palace.

Jiang Changning touched the little guy's hand, it was warm, "You can take the child and sit in the back hall, the smell of medicine is too strong for the child to bear."

"Yes." Ji Shi obeyed obediently.

"Xi'er, take your younger brothers and sisters and go to the apse with your third aunt." Jiang Changning sent all his grandchildren away so as not to scare them.

The whole family guarded the queen mother, after a meeting, Xiao Yuer also came back from outside the palace, "Queen mother, is the imperial grandmother feeling better?"

Jiang Changning shook his head and whispered, "I'm afraid I'm going tonight."

Xiao Yuer hugged Jiang Changning's arm tightly, "Mother, why do people have to die?"

Jiang Changning was silent for a moment, "No one wants to die, but life is involuntary, and so is death."

"Mother's queen." Xiao Yu'er's eyes were red.

"Xiao Yuer, birth, old age, sickness and death are objective laws, don't be sad." Jiang Changning gently touched her face, "Death is not the end, but forgetting is."

"I will never forget my mother." Xiao Yu'er snuggled up to Jiang Changning.

The Empress Dowager did not wake up, the sky was getting dark, the candlesticks were lit in the hall, the maid came in and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, dinner is ready."

Jiang Changning nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's eat first. If you want to guard your mother, you can't burn your body first."

"Don't worry about me, I won't waste my body and make you worry." Emperor Xuanzhi got up and said.

The family went to the side hall to have dinner, and after the meal, everyone went to the Empress Dowager's bedside to watch.

This guard lasted until the beginning of Zi Shi when the Queen Mother suddenly woke up, "Emperor."

"Mother, the son is here." Emperor Xuanzhi held her withered hand.

"Help me up." The Empress Dowager returned to the light, looking much better than before.

Emperor Xuanzhi helped her sit up, and Jiang Changning swiftly stuffed a pillow behind her.

The queen mother arranged the funeral, "The things in my warehouse are divided into five parts, each of the four brothers and sisters gets one part, and the other part is for Song Sheng."

"The people around me, who are willing to leave the palace, you also give them grace, don't let them have nowhere to go, and those who don't want to leave the palace, find a good place for them."

The queen mother talked a lot about what she had and what she didn't, her spirit sank, her eyes stared straight at the ceiling, "Your father has come to pick me up, I'm going down to accompany him."

After saying that, he died.

"Mother's queen." Emperor Xuanzhi called out sadly.

Jiang Changning and the others also started crying.
