Chapter 1127 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and fifty)

"You know what, it really does seem familiar, like the Seventh Emperor from two years ago..."

"Two years ago...if the Imperial Concubine had passed away, would we have left?"

"Let's see what happens."

Everyone at the banquet was talking in low voices, but they didn't dare to speak loudly. They all had smiles on their faces, as if they were truly happy for Prince Ren's marriage.

Qingli also recalled the death of Crown Prince Zhao Duan at Zhao Jian's wedding two years ago. It had been a major incident, and the Emperor had immediately gone to the Eastern Palace. Following suit, everyone at the wedding banquet dispersed, leaving Zhao Jian and his wife furious. But now, Eunuch Heshi hadn't announced what had happened to anyone, and even the Emperor hadn't said much, simply saying he had matters to attend to and asking Concubine Tian to stay.

Either the matter was not very important, or he valued Zhao Yu and Concubine Tian and gave them face.

If Zhao Jian were here, he would probably be disappointed that Zhao Yu was not shameful enough.

The bride has been sent to the bridal chamber, and King Ren has come out again to toast.

Prince Ren looked unhappy and went straight up to ask Concubine Tian why his father had left suddenly.

Concubine Tian asked her son to remain calm and not to show his likes and dislikes so obviously. As for other things, she said nothing, but just looked towards the direction of the palace with a murderous look in her eyes.

Now that the marriage was finalized, it was time for Concubine Tian to return to the palace. Her daughter, who was worried about not being able to leave the palace to attend Prince Ren's wedding, was causing a commotion in the palace. After everyone had respectfully bid Concubine Tian farewell, they remained in Prince Ren's palace, as most court officials hadn't learned the emperor's reason for leaving and didn't want to offend Prince Ren.

Qingli and Wei Ying followed the crowd and did not leave immediately. They waited until after their meal before leaving.

Qingli paid special attention to her diet during meals, fearing that some clever person would poison the food, tea or wine. Fortunately, although Prince Ren was unreliable, Concubine Tian was still somewhat reliable, and the food was not poisonous and was carefully prepared.

When he returned to the mansion, the news came. The empress called the emperor away because Concubine Jia's life was coming to an end, and the emperor was in a hurry to see his beloved concubine for the last time.

In fact, if you calculate Jiafei's age, she was only in her twenties, less than thirty years old. Her untimely death was entirely the result of the infighting in the harem.

In the last few years of her life, she was one of the most favored concubines in the emperor's harem. She held a trump card and was expected to become the empress dowager. However, because the trump card was exposed in advance, she aroused fear and lost her life.

Jia Fei was just a concubine, and there was no need for noble ladies to cry like when the empress dowager passed away. They only needed to set up a mourning hall, hold a funeral ceremony, and choose an auspicious day to bury her in the imperial tomb.

Qingli recalled that in the two lives when Zhao Jian was emperor and Zhao Duan was emperor, Zhao Jing died of illness as the fifteenth princess and his identity as a prince was never revealed.

Concubine Jia was never given the title of a concubine. In the eyes of others, she was just a concubine who died of grief and illness due to the death of the fifteenth princess, and followed her daughter to her death.

But in this life, it was Concubine Jia who died first, and Zhao Jing was taken to the emperor's bedroom to be raised.

It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it for the emperor to keep a princess by his side.

Your Majesty should find a foster mother for the princess. Even if you don't let the queen raise her, you should find other concubines. The harem has no shortage of concubines. There are a lot of concubines who have no children, and there are also concubines who have become obscure after losing their sons. It is not right for the emperor to raise his daughter himself. How shameful!

Before the ministers could make their suggestions, on the night when Concubine Jia passed away and Prince Ren was supposed to enjoy his wedding night, the emperor urgently summoned a group of ministers, including Prime Minister Song, Prince Heshun, Duke Anguo, Marquis Anping, Minister of Personnel, Marquis Zhongshan and others, all of whom rushed into the palace.

While changing Wei Ying's clothes, Qingli whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, are you planning to announce Zhao Jing's identity? Don't rush out rashly. If Zhao Jing's identity as a prince is revealed, remember to show shock and don't let the Emperor notice anything is wrong."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm not the one who should be anxious. I'll just follow my father-in-law's lead."

"Don't be too obvious. You don't have to agree with my father. The emperor is afraid of our two families sharing a common hatred. Otherwise, why would someone always use the beauty trap and try to force women into the Duke's Mansion? They want to alienate our relationship and split our two families."

Wei Ying loved listening to his wife's ramblings. He kissed his wife, ruffled her black hair, and said gently, "A united husband and wife can cut through metal. Those tricks are not acceptable. Madam, don't worry. You should go to bed early and don't have to wait for me. But I don't want to sleep in the study. Close the gate to the main courtyard first and leave someone on duty to open it for me."

"Okay, husband, go ahead."

Qingli reluctantly saw her husband off.

She went back to the room, took a shower, changed her clothes, and fell asleep on the bed. She didn't bother to be polite with Wei Ying and said there was no need to wait. She really didn't need to wait.
