Arriving at the palace of Empress Dowager Wu, Zhu Qiyu knelt down to salute and say hello.
"My son, I pay my respects to my mother and concubine!"
Empress Dowager Wu saw the son she had longed for arrive, and hurriedly came over to help Zhu Qiyu up, with tears in her eyes.
"My son, get up quickly! You have been in poor health since you were a child. Recently I heard that you are sick again, and you are very sick. Mom is worried about you."
Zhu Qiyu felt sad when he saw the haggard and crying Empress Dowager Wu.
"My son is unfilial and makes my mother worried! I wish my mother well. How is your mother lately?"
Ahem
Zhu Qiyu finally felt the bitterness of women in the harem. Mother is more valuable than her son, but she gets together less and leaves more.
Once his son cannot become a prince or an emperor, he will rarely see his mother once a year after becoming an adult.
After sealing a vassal, one has to leave the capital and go to the vassal land, and then live there for the rest of his life.
Without the emperor's summons, the vassal king could not return to the capital.
But the mother has to live in the palace forever. When she was young, she had to face all kinds of dangers, conspiracies, and intrigues.
When I am old, I can only stay alone in my empty house, and I can only miss my son thousands of miles away.
"Mom is fine, don't worry about my son, but I want to get better soon.
Your mother is rest assured that you are healthy. "
Queen Mother Wu wiped her tears. She lived in the palace without worrying about her safety.
She is the former emperor's concubine and now the dowager. As long as her son does not rebel, she can spend her old age in peace.
"Mom, I'm here to say goodbye to you!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear to hurt Empress Dowager Wu, but for the safety of his life, he still couldn't care less.
Moreover, when acting, you need to do a complete set, and you need to have a real and painful parting of mother and son.
"My son, are you going to join the feudal clan?"
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Wu rushed forward, hugged Zhu Qiyu tightly and cried loudly. Only Zhu Qiyu, the vassal of the vassal, would come to say goodbye to her.
Once Zhu Qiyu passes away, mother and son may say goodbye forever.
She couldn't bear it. She hoped that Zhu Qiyu would stay in the capital, so that she would be happy every day.
Although she doesn't see Zhu Qiyu every day, Zhu Qiyu is her only concern.
She hated Queen Mother Sun and drove her son away from her.
I also hate myself for not being able to keep my son by my side.
"My son is not filial. My health has been getting worse and worse recently, and I have been suffering from constant illnesses.
Erchen consulted the imperial doctor and famous doctors in the capital, but there was not much hope for Erchen's health.
The son has lived in the palace since he was a child. The queen has always been in the palace and has never seen the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.
The son wanted to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty before he died.
I have already requested the Empress Dowager's permission to join Huai'an and rest for the rest of my life. I hope that my ancestors will bless me and allow me to live a few more years. "
Zhu Qiyu hugged Queen Mother Wu tightly and patted her back gently.
This is painful to say, but I still have to say it.
He wanted to join the feudal clan not because the Empress Dowager Sun could not tolerate him, but because he wanted to see the power of Lao Zhu's family before he died.
"My son, after you go to Huai'an, remember to write to your mother often and tell her how you are doing in Huai'an."
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Wu felt that Empress Dowager Sun could not tolerate Zhu Qiyu. The emperor had gone on the Northern Expedition and had no time to take care of Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu was in poor health, but did he need to go to Huai'an, thousands of miles away, to recuperate?
Let the ancestors bless you.
"Mom, don't worry, I will write to you often during my lifetime.
Mother, after your son leaves, please remember not to meddle in other people's affairs in the palace. "
Zhu Qiyu promised Empress Dowager Wu that he would go to Huai'an and write letters frequently to explain his situation.
"Don't worry, my son. Mother has been in the palace for so many years, so she naturally understands this."
Empress Dowager Wu told Zhu Qiyu not to worry.
"Mom, I am unfilial and I can no longer stay by your side to honor you. Please forgive me!"
Ahem, cough, cough
After the mother and son had finished crying, Zhu Qiyu knelt down and saluted again.
"My son, if you leave, ask Brother Ji to write a letter to mother!"
Empress Dowager Wu cried and warned that Zhu Qizhen now has a son and a daughter.
If Zhu Qiyu died, his grandson Zhu Jianji would still be there.
According to the ancestral rules of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianji can succeed Zhu Qiyu's throne.
Even though her son was gone and she still had a grandson, she was not without concern.
"Mom, I'm leaving, please take care of yourself!"
Zhu Qiyu kowtowed ten times and left with a blue forehead under the reluctant eyes of Empress Dowager Wu.
"Take care, my son!"
Empress Dowager Wu looked at Zhu Qiyu's back with tears in her eyes.
"Your Highness, are you okay? Your forehead?"
Cheng Jing was very anxious when he saw Zhu Qiyu's blue forehead.
Ahem
"It's okay to be alone, I just said goodbye to my mother and concubine.
Mr. Cheng, after returning home, you go to the cabinet to complete the paperwork for the isolated vassal, as well as customs defense and road guidance. "
Zhu Qiyu said it was okay. If it hadn't happened like this, how could Empress Dowager Sun and the officials believe that he was sincere.
After going to Huai'an, he recovered and became healthy. It was the blessing of the ancestors of the old Zhu family.
Back at Prince Xin's Mansion, Zhu Qiyu had some porridge and asked for the princess and concubine to be summoned.
"I have met His Highness!"
The princess and the second concubine saluted Zhu Qiyu and said hello. Zhu Qiyu had a hot towel on his head and could not see the blue area.
"Your Highness, why don't you take a rest and go to the palace early in the morning to pay my respects."
The princess blamed her, Zhu Qiyu ran around at the right time, and he still ran to the palace. It was far away, and he had to kneel down to salute. His highness's body could not bear it.
"Yes, Your Highness, you should rest for a few days and recover before going to the palace to pay your respects."
The second concubine then said, Your Highness just woke up yesterday, and today he went to the palace to pay his respects, without caring about his body at all.
Ahem, cough, cough
"My dear concubine, I am going to Huai'an to recuperate for a while. You guys pack up and leave with me in two days."
Zhu Qiyu asked the two of them to go to Huai'an with him. One of them was the princess and the other was the second concubine. It was right for Zhu Qiyu to take them with him.
Moreover, he was going to join the vassal state this time. As long as the cabinet's clerical guidance and security measures were lifted, everyone in the Prince's Palace would have to follow Zhu Qiyu.
However, Zhu Qiyu was ready to test them to see how they would react.
"Your Highness, isn't the capital good? Why go to Huai'an to rest and recuperate?
Even if the palace is bored, His Highness can go find a garden outside the city.
Besides, His Highness has not yet recovered. The journey to Huai'an is long and the bumps on the road are not conducive to His recovery. "
The princess did not want to leave the capital. The capital was at the feet of the emperor and the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty.
Her natal family is in Shuntian Mansion, and the towering trees behind her can only protect her and support her to the greatest extent in the capital city.
It’s confirmed, Princess Wang Zhaodi is Queen Mother Sun’s person.
Queen Mother Sun would not be able to support her if she left the capital, so she was unwilling to leave the capital.
"Your Highness, I also feel that Your Highness is ill and cannot travel far."
The second concubine was worried that something would happen to Zhu Qiyu on the way, and if she went with him, Ji Geer would also go.
Brother Ji is only over a year old, so he can't bear the long journey.
It seems that the second concubine Hang Huiru doesn't want to leave the capital either.
Ahem, cough, cough
Zhu Qiyu was depressed, and he could understand that Princess Wang Zhaodi did not want to leave the capital.
Her backer is in the palace in the capital, and her backer can't control her if she leaves the capital.
But the second concubine Hang Huiru has no backer in the capital. Her backer is herself.
Hang Huiru is just a child of an ordinary family, her father is just a petty official, and her brother Hang Ju is just an ordinary citizen.
She gave birth to Zhu Qiyu's son Zhu Jianji, and the mother was as valuable as the son.
But the prerequisite for a mother to be valuable to her son is to pamper her.
"Since you are not willing to go to Huai'an with me, then stay and look after the palace."
Ahem, cough, cough
Zhu Qiyu sighed. They were just the concubines of the original owner anyway, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
It's not that Zhu Qiyu doesn't support them, but that they don't want to leave with Zhu Qiyu.
As for the children, they can just recuperate and regenerate in Huai'an. There are not many other things in Jiangnan, but there are many beauties.
When the time comes, it will be enough for Ke Jinsheng to have ten rooms and eight rooms, since he will be supported by the imperial court anyway.
