Chapter 412 A Good Mother
Xiao Zhangzi's today may be their tomorrow. The Imperial Concubine was able to make proper arrangements for his family in time after Xiao Zhangzi's sudden death. Even General Manager Su may not be able to enjoy this favor.
In the deep palace, except for a very small number of ambitious palace maids who came in voluntarily, most of them were poor people with unfortunate fates.
They don't have many thoughts in their minds, just want to live a peaceful life. If they have spare time, they will do their best to help their relatives at home.
Now, being able to follow a kind-hearted master like Concubine Shu is the greatest blessing in their lives.
Bao'e, who was standing among the palace maids, was particularly touched. Concubine Shu was indeed the kindest master in the palace.
No wonder Yan'er always praises her master.
News of An Lingrong's actions after she found Xiao Zhangzi quickly spread throughout Louyun Kaiyue, boosting the morale of the palace people.
If the two masters and Eunuch Lin had not suffered hardships, they would definitely get together privately to celebrate.
An Lingrong, who had other thoughts in mind, did not stop the spread of the news.
When the emperor, who was handling government affairs in the Qinzheng Hall, heard about this from Xiao Xia Zi, he was stunned for a moment.
Concubine Shu not only loves children, but also treats her servants well.
Her character is no less than Rouze's back then!
According to Xia Qi's report, the reason why Concubine Shu brought her children to Tantandang to see the goldfish today was because Hongyao believed what others said and insisted on going there.
Later, Hongxia and Hongyao ran away to see the pleasure boat and took away a large number of attendants. This caused Hongzhan, who was left alone, to be accidentally pushed into the icy lake.
Concubine Shu knew the whole story of Hongzhan falling into the water, but she never blamed Hongyao at all.
Xia Qian's original words in the report were: "Hongyao, Hongzhan is not only Mother's son, but also your biological brother. Mother knows he is suffering, and you feel worse than anyone else... Your sixth brother is not feeling well, so you need to smile more to make him happy."
When his sixth brother died of poisoning, the irrational Queen Mother yelled at him, "Why wasn't it you who died?"
Later, when she learned that the late emperor had passed the throne to him, the empress dowager pointed at his nose and demanded, "Why wasn't the Fourteenth Prince the heir to the throne? Did you, the rebellious son, tamper with the late emperor's decree of succession?"
All these frustrating past events came to mind one by one, and when I compared the two, I could immediately tell which was better.
Concubine Shu is another gentle and kind woman after Rouze.
"Su Peisheng, Imperial Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince were frightened today. Please pick out some useful items from my private storehouse and send them to them."
I don’t know what the emperor was thinking about, but he added another sentence.
"Hongyao and Zhaohua were also frightened. Let's choose a suitable reward for them."
"The slave obeys."
When Su Peisheng heard his master's order, his eyes turned red with sadness.
When the master was young, he also envied the late emperor for sending a stream of rewards to the empress dowager's palace, but unfortunately he never got a share of those rewards.
The bad-tempered Fourteenth Prince often walked past his master wearing gold, silver and jade.
When the princes in the palace set up their own residences outside the palace, in addition to the items and resources prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the rest mainly depended on rewards from their elders, the bulk of which naturally came from the prince's mother.
The master, who displeased the empress dowager, had been living a difficult life since leaving the palace.
Because there was not enough money in the mansion, not only was he reluctant to spend money on his own food, he also didn't dare to give more to the women in the backyard.
Su Peisheng thought that the Seventh Prince was also present at the time, so he reminded him in a low voice.
He waited for dozens of breaths, but the emperor didn't show any reaction, so he knew that the emperor was only special to the Eighth Prince and Princess Zhaohua.
This is because they have a good mother.
After leaving, Su Peisheng paid more attention to the rewards to be sent to Louyue Kaiyun. The items he chose for Concubine Shu were mainly surprising, ingenious, and strange, and those without royal emblems. The rewards for the two princes and Princess Zhaohua were delicate toys that children of their age would be interested in.
There was a whole box full of supplements such as ginseng, deer antler, donkey-hide gelatin, shark fin and bird's nest.
As soon as the emperor's reward was delivered to Louyue Kaiyun, Concubine Hua then sent a gift to visit her, and the other concubines followed suit.
An Lingrong checked them one by one. Except for the silk sent by Huanbi which had some threads on the edges, she did not find any problems with the things sent by others.
As night fell, An Lingrong went to visit Hongzhan again. Seeing that his breathing was steady, she felt relieved.
"Bao Ge, how's Xiao Linzi doing?"
"My Lord, Doctor Wei examined him and said he swallowed some water and caught a cold. The wound is not serious and will get better with continued application of medicine."
"I just can't lift heavy objects for the time being."
Bao Ge, who had been silent for a long time, replied respectfully.
After everyone else had left, she knelt heavily in front of An Lingrong and kowtowed.
"Master, I have failed in my duty. Please punish me."
It turned out that she was the one who took care of the Sixth Prince.
But a young eunuch who was accompanying him came over and said that the Eighth Prince was clamoring to go on a pleasure boat to cruise on the lake. Bao Ge hurried over in a hurry.
Before I took a few steps, I heard a "splash" sound of someone falling into the water behind me.
Bao Ge choked up and recounted everything that happened at that time.
An Lingrong gently helped the person up and wiped her tears.
"Bao Ge, even the Emperor didn't expect someone to harm others through disguise. I believe that after this incident, you will be more cautious in the future."
"Don't cry your eyes out anymore. You still have to help me get up tomorrow. Go and get some rest."
"Master, this servant..."
An Lingrong patted her head soothingly and persuaded her softly.
"Be good and go take a rest."
