Chapter 266 Death of illness

When Jiang Changning and Zeng Zhaofu rushed outside the room where Zheng Mingzhu was placed, they heard the eldest princess Yiya asking Princess Runan loudly, "Why did my pearl fall into the water?"

When the Princess of Runan heard the news that Zheng Mingzhu fell into the water, she also secretly complained. In the cold winter months, the water in the pool was bone-chilling. If someone fell into the water, even if they were rescued immediately, it would be unbearable!

"I asked Huizhu. The county owner wanted to get closer to see the ice-carved lotus in the pond and accidentally fell it," Princess Runan explained.

"You mean she deserves what she deserves if my pearl falls into the water?" Princess Yiya's voice was sharp.

This is indeed the case, but Princess Runan cannot answer like this, "It's because the servants failed to take good care of the county master."

Zheng Mingzhu was accompanied by a maid from the Zheng family. It was her fault that she failed to take good care of her master, and the Runan Palace could not be blamed.

"Is this what the Runan Palace told me?" Princess Yiya asked angrily.

"Sister Yiya, I just want to make things clear. You came as a guest and failed to entertain me well, which caused the county owner to fall into trouble. I apologize to you, and the medical expenses and medicine money will be paid by the Runan Palace." Princess Runan said.

.

"The Zheng family is not short of your medical money and medicine money." Princess Yiya said displeasedly.

Someone nearby smoothed things over, "It's not that the Zheng family is short of money. After all, the incident involving the county owner happened at the Runan Prince's Mansion, and the medical expenses and medicine money were paid by the Prince's Mansion."

There was a bunch of people and mud, and Zheng Mingzhu only fell into the water and did not die. Princess Yiya did not want to offend the Runan Palace to her death.

The matter ended with the Runan Palace paying a large sum of money for consultation and medicine, and also giving a generous gift.

The banquet at the Runan Prince's Mansion failed to leave the guests and hosts happily because Zheng Mingzhu fell into the water.

"The eldest princess Yiya is really unreasonable. It's obviously Zheng Mingzhu who refuses to listen and insists on stepping on the stone pier to cross." Princess Huizhu said angrily.

"It's lucky that the matter can be resolved like this." Princess Runan said with a worried look on her face.

"Tens of thousands of taels of silver have been given to the Zheng family as an apology. What else does Princess Yiya want?" Princess Huizhu said angrily.

She has been the housekeeper of her mother-in-law for the past few years. She knows that the government's income is low and expenses are high. The ten thousand taels of silver paid out today were taken from her dowry. How can she not be angry?

She was really worried that when her fiancé came to marry her, she would not be able to provide a generous dowry.

"It was such a cold weather. When Zheng Mingzhu was fished out of the pond, she was soaked to the skin. She was cold and frightened. She was afraid that she would get sick and that she might be in trouble."

"She deserves to be sick." Princess Huizhu hated the wayward Zheng Mingzhu.

"She deserves it, but what happened to her happened in our house, and our house was involved." Princess Runan frowned.

"What a troublemaker." Princess Huizhu pouted, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have invited her."

"Now I can only ask the Bodhisattva to protect her from getting sick." Princess Runan clasped her hands together and said.

Unfortunately, he prayed to the Bodhisattva at short notice, but the Bodhisattva did not appear. Zheng Mingzhu developed a high fever when she returned home.

The eldest princess Yiya loved her daughter so much that she didn't care about the custom of not inviting a doctor during the Chinese New Year, so she invited the imperial doctor into the palace with a post.

The imperial doctor checked Zheng Mingzhu's pulse and said, "Princess, the county master was immersed in ice water. Although he was rescued in time, the wind and cold still entered his body."

"Okay, hurry up and write the prescription." Princess Yiya interrupted him.

An hour later, Zheng Mingzhu took the medicine, but the high fever still did not go away.

Now it's not just Princess Yiya and Prince Consort Zheng who are worried, the imperial doctor is also panicking, "If the county master's fever cannot be subsided, it will be in danger."

It was very likely that he would be burned into a fool, which the imperial doctor did not dare to say clearly.

When the Zheng family was in panic, Princess Wenhe's house was filled with cries. Princess Wenhe drove to the west and died at the age of seventy-seven. In this era, he lived a long life.

The princess's palace was in mourning, and Princess Wenhe's son arranged for people to go to various mansions to report the funeral, while he changed into plain clothes and entered the palace.

I hope the palace can give Princess Wenhe some honor after her death.

The day after receiving the news of Princess Wenhe's death, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the concubine changed her clothes and took Prince Jin, Jiang Changning and Princess Kangren to Princess Wenhe's Mansion.

Princess Wenhe was older and senior, so the concubine had to go to express her condolences in person.

Jiang Changning saw Zhao Xifang, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying and whose face was haggard, in the mourning hall. He said politely: "My condolences."

"Thank you." Zhao Xifang lowered her eyelids and said.

The weather was cold and many elderly people could not bear it. On the night of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Baoyin's grandmother, Mrs. Xie, also passed away.

Xie Baoyin was very sad, but Mrs. Xie was secretly happy. There was no such old woman to tell her what to do, and she had the final say in the back house.

The deceased was the oldest. Even though the Jin Prince's Palace had little contact with the Xie family, after all, the Jin Prince and General Xie were officials in the same dynasty.

When Jiang Changning saw Xie Baoyin in the mourning hall, he also said, "My condolences."

"Sister Ning, I don't have a grandmother anymore." Tears burst into Xie Baoyin's eyes.

Also losing her grandmother, Xie Baoyin's grief was much more profound than that of Zhao Xifang.

After hearing her words, Jiang Changning didn't know how to comfort her. He thought about it and said: "I heard people say that after death, people will turn into stars in the sky and protect people on the ground. When you think of your grandmother in the future, look up.

Look at the sky and look for your grandmother star."

"Grandma must be the brightest star in the sky." Xie Baoyin said with a choked voice.

"Don't be sad, live a good life, your grandmother is watching in the sky, so you will feel relieved." Jiang Changning said softly.

"Sister Ning, thank you." Xie Baoyin said gratefully. She originally thought Jiang Changning would not pay attention to her.

"You're welcome. Take care and say goodbye." Jiang Changning didn't stay long and left with King Jin.

They changed their clothes on the carriage and had to go to Ningxia Palace for a banquet later.

During the Chinese New Year, banquets were held one after another in various mansions. Jiang Changning was very annoyed. While changing his clothes, he said: "I will also hold a banquet tomorrow and have these people come to our mansion in a carriage."

Although all the mansions were not far away, Jiang Changning felt that it was necessary to go to the Jin Palace for them to go to the banquet from before the year to the end of the year.

King Jin smiled and stretched out his hand to help her take off the silver earrings. "When we get back, let the people below prepare. How about holding a lantern viewing party during the Lantern Festival?"

"Let me just say that, there are many banquets, and my mother likes to be quiet, so let's forget it." Jiang Changning took the silver earrings, put them in the jewelry box, and took out another jewelry box.

Inside the jewelry box is a pair of gilt-dotted emerald auspicious cloud flower earrings, which perfectly match the blue embroidered palace dress Jiang Changning wore today, making them elegant and noble.

"Let me put it on for you." Prince Jin took the earrings and carefully put the gold hook through her ear holes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Changning arched his eyebrows and smiled.

"I said, I don't want to thank you verbally."

Jiang Changning approached him and wanted to kiss him, but the carriage suddenly stopped and Jiang Changning threw himself into his arms.
