Chapter 195 196: Concubine Shu's head hurts a bit
The news that the emperor was going to accompany the queen mother to the palace to escape the summer heat was quickly released, and the whole harem became happy because of this matter.
Being able to leave the palace is better than staying here all the time, so everyone inquired about the accompanying list of the harem.
At this time, Yun Zhao also wrote a letter to the eldest lady, informing the Song family of the accompanying car, and said that in addition to the Song family's quota for the eldest wife, Song Yexi and Song Hongjiao, who were already married, would be brought along with Xie Linlang.
Only Song Yexi and Song Hongjiao stayed in the capital, Song Jinxuan went out of Beijing to study with her husband, Song Guiyi followed her husband to take office, and Song Lirong married and went to Yucheng.
There is also an unmarried Song Yunmei in Beijing. Yun Zhao did not make the decision for the eldest lady, and let the eldest aunt decide whether to take her or not.
If the eldest lady doesn’t bring Song Yunmei, it’s okay to bring someone else.
She didn't mention Cai Shi and Song Qinghan, she would never give them a chance for such a long-faced thing.
Although she is not a person who holds grudges, the Cai mother and daughter are indeed the existences in her life that she doesn't want to mention very much.
***
At this time, Ji's family is not very peaceful.
After Ji Yunting was sent out, he fell ill as soon as he took office because of unacceptable conditions. Now he has been ill for three times in just a few months of his tenure. Prime Minister Zuo couldn't watch his son die while in office, so he had to ask the emperor's grace to bring him back to the capital.
Today is Mrs. Ji's family banquet, and all the married daughters of Ji's family have come back, so Ji's family is very lively at the moment.
Ji Yunting has only returned to Beijing for a few days, Xu Shi returned to the place where he grew up, his body is better, but his complexion still looks pale, and he is much thinner than before he left Beijing.
The people around Madam Ji were chatting and joking, and the maid outside sent a message, "The eldest son is here."
There was a silence in the room, Ji Yunting entered the door, went straight forward to greet Mrs. Ji, "Grandson pays respects to grandma."
The other juniors of Ji's family also bowed to Ji Yunting when they saw Ji Yunting, some were called younger brothers, some were called elder brothers, and they sat down after seeing each other.
After Ji Yunting returned to Beijing, he became more reticent than before. After greeting everyone, he just sat there and didn't speak anymore.
Mrs. Ji loves this eldest grandson very much. Seeing that his complexion is not very good, she cared a few words about his health, and then asked again: "Do you have any plans to return to Beijing this time?"
Ji Yunting only felt ashamed. Others had nothing to do with the outside world, but he almost died because of his disobedience. He was full of ambitions and fell halfway, which was a great blow to him.
"Not yet." Ji Yunting replied.
Everyone couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, Ji Yunting was the best of the younger generation, and when such a thing happened, everyone was a little disappointed and sad for a while.
The left prime minister is old, how many more years can he stay in the prime minister?
Only Ji Yunting can take over this position in the future, but his body...
Seeing the calm expression of the eldest grandson, Mrs. Ji immediately said: "I didn't agree with your release at the beginning, but now it seems that it is a good thing to return to Beijing due to physical discomfort. You started from the Imperial Academy, which is noble and leisurely, and you are decent when you talk about it. After a few years of qualifications, you can go to the Six Departments for a turn. The future will not be worse, isn't it better than being released?"
Ji Yunting knew that his grandmother was comforting him, so he cheered up and said, "Grandma, I understand all these things, don't worry."
How can Madam Ji rest assured, looking at Ji Yunting, said: "The emperor accompanied the queen mother to the palace to escape the summer heat, and you will follow me this time. The palace will be cooler, and it will be convenient for you to take care of your body."
Ji Yunting swallowed the words that came out of his mouth, hesitated for a moment and nodded in response, he couldn't ignore the kindness of his family.
Seeing her son nodding, Mrs. Pei smiled at her mother-in-law, and said solemnly: "My daughter-in-law is not filial, and I can't serve my mother during this trip. Please don't blame her."
Mrs. Ji Tai smiled and said: "Yun Ting follows my old bones, but it's better than you following me to make me happy. You just do your thing."
Others immediately chatted for fun, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively.
Ji Yunting was out of place in the bustle, and went to the palace... He didn't really want to go.
The people who were in high school with him at the beginning, the emperor promoted many people to be reused. Although the official position is not very high, the emperor's intention of cultivating cronies can already be seen from the inside and the outside.
The turmoil above the court was undercurrent, and he knew what it was like to be in it. He felt that the matter was not simple when he was sent back to Beijing this time, but in order not to intensify the conflict between the emperor and his father, he suppressed the matter.
However, not saying it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Xindi didn't trust him because he was the son of Zuoxiang.

Rescuing from the summer heat is not a trivial matter. The emperor, the queen mother and the concubines also have a group of servants around them. It takes two or three months to escape the summer heat.
In this way, adding and subtracting, the total number of people will increase, and the entire Liushang Bureau will be busy in circles.
Especially because Yun Zhao is a favorite concubine and a pregnant woman, which is the most important thing.
The emperor specially ordered Song Zhaoyi to accompany him. The queen mother expressed dissatisfaction, but she failed to persuade the emperor to change her mind, so there was another unhappiness between mother and son.
Except for Song Yunzhao who was appointed by the emperor, and the third concubine who was appointed by the emperor, the other candidates should be considered by the third concubine and sent to the list for review.
Song Yunzhao greeted Concubine Shu early in the morning, and Concubine Shu was so angry that she almost dropped the teacup.
"This Song Yunzhao really doesn't know how to be polite at all. Can she go whoever she wants?"
Yunshang and Hongyou were busy persuading them.
"My lady, if Song Zhaoyi dares to say such a thing, he must have obtained the emperor's permission. It's better to ask your mother for help than Song Zhaoyi to go to see Zhuang Concubine or Wanfei, isn't it?"
Concubine Shu thought about it, and there was some truth to her words.
Hongyou also said: "Song Zhaoyi is getting along well with the empress now, which is a good thing. The servant looks at Concubine Zhuang and wants to find a chance to get rid of the past with Song Zhaoyi, but Song Zhaoyi doesn't mean that."
"Concubine Zhuang and Song Yunzhao put an end to each other? Isn't this a joke?" Concubine Shu sneered, Concubine Zhuang wanted to push Song Yunzhao into the quagmire and never turn over.
Thinking about it this way, she actually thought the same way back then, and she did the same thing, but the bump on her head hurt a little.
Now she no longer wants to hold on to the emperor, and she doesn't think Song Yunzhao is an eyesore anymore. With Song Yunzhao standing in front of her head, she will not be stared at by the queen mother.
Thinking about this, he swallowed his breath and added the names of Han Jinyi, Lu Zhixue, and Han Jinyi. Han Jinyi is a noble concubine, and she can follow her if she doesn't say anything. Lu Zhixue is also fine.
Only Feng Yunjin's status is lower, and Song Yunzhao is working hard for her.
