Chapter 1009: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Thirty-one)
Concubine Shu smiled happily, and it was obvious that she was not surprised at all. Since it was not an imperial decree to confer a title of king, she did not need to panic. If Zhao Jian was to be conferred a title of king, her little Ba would definitely not be left out!
Concubine Shu couldn't help but find a wife for her Yu'er. When His Majesty passed the throne to Yu'er in a few years, she would probably be able to hold her grandson by the time she became the empress dowager.
As she imagined a bright future, Concubine Shu was radiant.
Geng Qianqian's vision was blocked by the veil, but when she heard the imperial edict, the smile on her face deepened. The emperor valued her husband, and she, the seventh prince's consort, had face to go out.
Before, Zhao Jian was just a figurehead in the Ministry of Works. In reality, he was only a seventh-rank official! Zhao Jian hadn't been crowned a king, so in this snobbish capital, he wasn't really considered a big shot.
Fortunately, now that the princes have been eliminated one by one, her husband might really be able to let her wear the phoenix robe!
Thinking of Song Qingting who entered the temple to practice hard, and Zhou Zhiying and her daughter who died on the way to exile, I feel a little sorry. They are destined not to see her glory!
It was worth it for her to swallow her anger and be humble in front of them, wasn't it? In the end, the one who escaped unscathed was Geng Qianqian, wasn't she?
Geng Qianqian smiled proudly, her face under the red veil full of satisfaction. When the ceremony was about to end, there was a noise outside.
Geng Qianqian had an angry look on her face. Today was her wedding, what kind of bastard dared to cause trouble?
The emperor's face darkened. "Who is making such a commotion?"
"It's not good, Your Majesty!"
"Your Highness Prince Ding... Prince Ding..."
The emperor stood up suddenly and asked, "What happened to Duan'er?" At this time, the hall was very quiet, the joy had stopped, and the ministers were staring at the eunuch.
The eunuch who brought the news cried desperately and sadly: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. His Royal Highness Prince Ding unfortunately passed away in the Eastern Palace half an hour ago."
The emperor staggered, obviously shocked.
Concubine Shu cried and said, "How could this happen? His Highness..."
The emperor shook off Concubine Shu's hand and said hurriedly, "Concubine Shu, you deal with the aftermath here first. I will go to the East Palace first."
"Your Majesty, I will accompany you."
"No, I'll go first."
The emperor strode away.
Concubine Shu was in a dilemma as to whether to leave or not, so she could only signal her servants to speed up.
The festive atmosphere of the wedding suddenly changed. No one smiled anymore, and everyone's expression turned serious. Zhao Duan had been the crown prince for over a decade, and it was inevitable that these ministers would recall the past. Life was unpredictable.
The emperor left quickly, could they stay any longer?
If she hadn't been weak, Geng Qianqian would have torn the red silk in her hands to shreds. Prince Ding had to die now, not earlier! Couldn't he have gone down to be with his wife and children earlier?
She secretly resented the messenger. Did he have a grudge against her and Zhao Jian? Couldn't he have been a quarter of an hour late? The ceremony wasn't even over, and the emperor had already left.
The wedding ceremony ended quickly.
"Wait for me in the mansion. I'll go to the East Palace first."
Zhao Jian hurried to the new house and left without waiting for Geng Qianqian to speak.
Geng Qianqian clutched the veil tightly, feeling extremely depressed.
As soon as Concubine Shu left, the princes also left, and the ministers followed closely behind.
The former crown prince had passed away. Who would dare to drink at Zhao Jian's wedding banquet here? What if the emperor and empress came to investigate one day?
Qingli and Wei Ying of course followed everyone else out. In fact, she didn't want to come today, but since the emperor was here, the women from the Prime Minister's Mansion naturally had to come.
I don’t know if Song Chen heard about the good things Song Qingting did recently, and she was afraid of being implicated or afraid that Song Qingting would look for her, so she ran away to live in a farm in the suburbs and refused to move.
And her sister-in-law is about to give birth, so Qingli needs to come.
This time, I became a spectator again.
She secretly guessed that with the death of the former crown prince, the emperor would go to the East Palace to act with the queen again, but it was also possible that the emperor was really sad, and the role of a heartbroken father was not difficult for the emperor.
Before leaving, Qingli glanced at Geng Qianqian. The veins on her hands were bulging and the red silk was wrinkled by her. She still hadn't mastered her temper and it was too conspicuous in public.
Qingli shook her head slightly and walked out the door.
This grand wedding banquet ended hastily. ☆
When the emperor rushed to the East Palace, the queen had almost fainted from crying and was barely supported by the palace maids.
Seeing the couple so heartbroken, the emperor no longer cared about the queen's crazy behavior during this period. With pity in his heart, he hugged the queen in his arms and said in a trembling voice: "Queen, Duan'er..."
