Chapter 344
……
Jiang Yu was asked to talk to Concubine Zhang, but she actually had nothing to say.
She's not the kind of person who's very good at provoking conversations.
He's not the kind of person who's very good at coaxing people.
But it was just right to let Jiang Yu talk to a few children.
If the IQ level is about the same, it will be easy to form effective communication.
It was said that the princess was asked to accompany Concubine Zhang, but in fact Jiang Yu spent the whole day with several children.
Concubine Zhang thought it was quite good.
If he really wanted to talk to her, she was not in the mood and didn't want to speak.
Then I don’t know whether the princess is accompanying her or she is accompanying the princess.
But the fact that the princess could accompany and comfort a few children made her feel relieved.
Concubine Zhang was very moved when she saw the princess playing with a few children and talking seriously, without being perfunctory or leaning towards her.
I think Master Caiyi County is really good and very sincere.
Others also came to see her and gave her expensive gifts, but they didn't pay much attention to the younger ones. They probably felt that their father was gone and they were of no use anymore, so they ignored them.
People in the world always praise the high and disdain the low.
Princess Caiyi didn't care about this. Playing with a few children was the best comfort to her.
When it got dark and they left the palace, the children were a little reluctant to leave Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu actually didn't say anything. He just talked about what happened when he was a child in his hometown. He also talked about digging mushrooms in the mountains, picking wild vegetables, fishing, pulling weeds, picking fruits, and making various kinds of food. The children seemed to be quite interested.
Jiang Yu had always taken care of his younger sister when he was a child, and he was quite careful and experienced in taking care of children.
Ouch, go home after a long day.
She felt guilty. She was clearly asked to accompany Concubine Zhang, but in the end she didn't even accompany her, and instead just played with the children.
That's the result.
The palace actually rewarded her with a lot of gifts.
Really...
Jiang Yu himself was confused.
This reward is a bit too easy, and I feel guilty even if I take it.
The next day, she was asked to accompany Concubine Zhang.
On the third day, she was asked to accompany Concubine Zhang.
Escorts.
Jiang Yu chatted with the children on the first day.
I simply took them to dig wild vegetables the next day. Concubine Zhang’s yard was big enough and had an independent yard.
On the third day, I took them to make food and tinker in the kitchen.
The fourth day... there is no fourth day.
The fifth prince's case has come to an end and has been solved, and a funeral will be held.
There are so many etiquettes among princes and nobles that Jiang Yu can't even understand them, and there isn't much he can teach them. I just gave some loquat candies in private.
"Put it in the bag. If you are hungry, you can secretly take one. If your throat hurts from crying, you can take one. Don't eat anything else given by others." Jiang Yu said seriously.
Yin Gu: ...You are also someone else.
But seeing how cute and cute she was, she ate it all, so the little masters also put it away, so forget it.
Even when she was so sensitive, she had the nerve to tell people not to eat from others when she gave them food.
"I am not someone else, I am also their sister, from my own family."
……
The funeral of the fifth prince.
Relatives of the Jiang family are required to participate.
Some ministers participated.
It actually depends on how favored the prince is.
If it is the emperor's favorite prince, it will be treated like a national funeral.
The fifth prince's mother is a noble concubine. Although she is not the emperor's favorite, she is still okay and not annoying, so many courtiers come.
But because the death was sudden, the funeral did not last long.
A sudden death requires the Ministry of Rites to choose a special day for burial.
Then let the monks chant sutras to achieve salvation.
Mianmian all went to participate.
It's really cold when I go to a funeral in winter.
It's cold no matter how thick you wear it.
Follow the crowd.
She is also in the group of children. Regardless of ancient or modern times, the loss of a father is an eternal absence in a person's life.
Mianmian felt very uncomfortable. Her eyes were always red and red, whether it was caused by the wind or something else. People around her were crying, and you cry easily. The cry was really aggrieved and frightening.
Generally, older people do not attend the funerals of younger people.
On this day, neither Concubine Zhang nor the emperor left the palace.
The sixth prince in prison learned that the fifth brother was buried today, and he knew that he was finished.
He had no chance to overturn the verdict.
What he never expected was that in addition to the confession of the fifth brother's concubine, there was also the confession of one of his staff.
Even the staff can betray, maybe they are the people placed by others, and the fifth brother's concubine may have betrayed him long ago, she is someone else's, and he is still complacent.
He regretted doing such a thing and letting others take advantage of him.
He regretted that he should have pretended to be crazy from the beginning, should not have studied, and should not have ambition.
He read, but not enough.
He is ambitious, but he is not ruthless enough.
The fight for the throne was originally a matter of life and death. He actually expected to be favored by his father because of his outstanding performance. He was too naive.
But now, it's too late, too late.
This cell once held the prince's brother.
This was probably the time when he was closest to the prince.
Thinking of the future, he would either die suddenly and for no reason like the prince's brother, or he would be imprisoned like the eldest brother and be locked up like a pig or a dog.
The Sixth Prince shuddered when he thought about that future.
He gave up.
……
On the day of the fifth prince's funeral, the sixth prince committed suicide in prison.
And left a suicide note.
The suicide note was handed to the emperor through Huangmen Shilang.
No one wants to get into trouble.
Jiang Changtian took the suicide note and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor closed his eyes and said, "Erlang, please read to me what the unfilial son wrote."
afternoon.
royal palace.
There is sunshine.
Not warm, but bright.
Sitting there, Jiang Erlang seemed to be wearing the soul of the sixth prince holding a fan.
"Father, my sons and ministers are unfilial.
I did not kill Fifth Brother, never. When I was a child, Fifth Brother always gave me things, grass, sticks, and stones. I can find traces of Fifth Brother on my desk, in my bag, and in my bedroom. I know that Fifth Brother If he likes me, he will surround me with his things in every aspect, trying to prove that he is there.
When I was a child, I once said that I was afraid of the dark when sleeping. The fifth brother stuffed a note in my pocket that day. The fifth brother said that this was a note written by my father. If you put it in your pocket, you will not be afraid of the dark when sleeping. It belongs to him. But he was my elder brother, so he gave it to me.
Fifth Brother is a sincere person, and I also regret that my strange thoughts were taken advantage of.
The concubine Cui was originally a woman I saved. I thought she was mine, but she became the fifth brother's concubine by accident. After that, I never ordered her to poison her. I can swear to God, it's just me. I know, but no one believes it, and I can only prove it by dying.
I used to think that as long as I studied hard and exercised well, I would eventually be favored by my father. I would not dare to fail in my moral character and call myself a gentleman. But I was wrong. Ever since I wanted to be a prince In an instant, I realized that I was very wrong. A gentleman cannot be the prince, so I paid the price with my life. I just pitied my fifth brother. Fifth brother knew from the beginning that even if he did not fight for the position of prince, he would be implicated.
The sons and ministers are unfilial and can no longer serve their father. It's cold, please keep warm. The weather is hot, so father should also be careful not to be greedy for cold. My father is not in good health and cannot tolerate cold or heat. From now on, I will no longer be able to accompany you, so you can only take care of yourself.
Because my son is a gentleman, and a gentleman who has been wronged can only die. My son is a gentleman and cannot live.
The son and the minister are unfilial, but the son and the minister are also filial, because, Father, you gave the son the word "Chu", but the son has done it.
I am not afraid of death. What I am afraid of is a long and hopeless life.
Father, my son has left to find his fifth brother. "
……
Jiang Changtian was sitting on a chair. At this moment, a gust of wind blew over him. He was sitting upright, like a clivia.
The emperor seemed to see Rokuro swinging a fan.
"Father, I'm gone to find my fifth brother."
Mukuro was smiling and blowing the wind with his fan.
cool.
The emperor burst into tears.
