If not abolished

Chapter 112 Wonders

The next day, Zhu Di ordered eunuch Huang Yan to go to Shandong first. Huang Yan rushed to Hu Mansion in Jining day and night.

After explaining his purpose, Huang Yan met the future Crown Princess and came to the small building where Hu Shanxiang lived alone.

"Angel, this way."

"Excuse me."

"Girl, someone is coming from the palace."

The door opened from the inside, and Hu Shanxiang invited Huang Yan to the hall to talk.

"What is the name of an angel?" Hu Shanxiang asked, bowing.

"Miss Third, you are too kind to me. My humble name is Huang Yan."

"Eunuch Huang, I wonder why you came all the way here?"

"In reply to the young lady, I have come here on the orders of His Majesty to invite you into the palace." Huang Yan explained her purpose.

"Your Majesty summoned me to the palace?"

"Yes, to be exact, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Hu Shanxiang heard that it was Zhu Zhanji, she understood immediately.

"To be honest, sir, there have been a lot of things going on at home recently. I have just written a letter to my father who is far away in the capital. I am afraid I cannot leave for a while. Please explain this to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I will come back after things at home are settled..." Hu Shanxiang looked embarrassed.

"This... I don't know what kind of difficulty it is. If I can help, it will be great." Before Huang Yan came out, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince repeatedly told people to make sure they got the call. Now that something has happened, they have to help.

"My grandmother is in poor health, and I am very worried. There is really no way for me to leave for the capital, even if I have to wait for my father to come back." Hu Shanxiang's voice was tinged with tears when she spoke of her grandmother.

"The old lady is ill. It's not serious. Don't worry, young lady."

"The doctor came to see me and said..."

Hu Shanxiang didn't finish her words, but Huang Yan had almost guessed it.

"I understand. Young lady, please don't be too sad. The old lady still needs someone to take care of her. I will write a letter back to Beijing to see what the palace says. I will not bother you anymore for now." Huang Yan said goodbye.

"I'm sorry I can't see you off."

"Girl, please stay."

After returning to the post station, Huang Yan reported the situation of the Hu family to the palace.

The next day, Hu Shanxiang got up and opened the door, and suddenly saw her small building surrounded by red and white mist. At first, it was just ordinary mist, but the color was illuminated by the sunlight. But later she found that it did not dissipate for a whole day. What was strange?

"Girl, come and take a look. You are the only one like this. Everywhere else is normal, and the people around can see it. They are all talking about this?" Lingzhi replied.

When Hu Shanxiang found something wrong, she asked Lingzhi to check if there was such a situation in other places in the house. Now it seemed that only where she lived was like this.

What on earth is this, a sign from heaven? About something.

At this time, the people of Jining City.

"Hey, what do you think that red and white mist in the Hu Mansion is?"

"I don't know. No one has ever seen this."

"Could this be a warning?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Hu family has done a lot of good deeds in Jining. If this is a sign of something, it must be a good thing."

"I heard that Madam Hu has been in poor health these days. Lord Hu himself is about to return from the capital?"

"Is it that serious? I saw Madam Hu going to burn incense half a year ago, and now..."

"I hope you're safe."

"So what is this thing all about?"

"Maybe they will disperse tomorrow?"

Huang Yan had also heard about this miracle in Hu Shanxiang's home. He thought that this miracle was only in the small building where Hu Shanxiang lived. Doesn't this prove that the third Miss Hu was the destined one for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Everyone thought that the fog would dissipate in a few days at most. Unexpectedly, a whole month passed and the fog did not dissipate. The surrounding neighbors and people in the city found it very magical. They went to Hu’s house to see it and thought it was a good omen.

Hu Shanxiang also felt that the strange mist was good, and her grandmother's health had improved in recent days.

Hu Shanxiang had just finished feeding the old lady medicine.

"Grandma, do you want to lie down for a while?" Hu Shanxiang asked after putting down the medicine bowl.

Old Mrs. Hu shook her head and said, "I feel pretty energetic today. I won't lie down anymore. Lying down every day makes me so lazy. I'll sit down and talk to you." The old lady held her hand.

"Well, grandma looks much better these days. She will be well again in a few days."

"During this time, our son has grown up, and you have worked hard. Did your father say when he will arrive?"

"It's not hard to take care of grandma. Father and his family are on the way and will be here in half a month at most." Hu Shanxiang just received the letter two days ago.

"Okay, I heard that someone came from the palace. What are your plans?" The old lady had been asleep more often than awake before, and Hu Shanxiang didn't let anyone tell her many things. But in the past few days, the old lady was awake for a long time, and some things reached her ears.

"The palace wants me to go to the palace, but my grandmother is sick and my father and his family haven't come back yet. It's impossible for me to leave at this time, so I plan to wait for my father to come back and let him make a decision."

"Well, that's fine. Such a big matter really needs your father to make the decision. He only said that you can enter the palace. Did he say anything else?"

"No, he just said that I had to learn the rules in the palace, and nothing else." Hu Shanxiang shook her head.

"She dodged here and there, but still couldn't escape. She even entered the palace a few years earlier. My daughter promised grandma that she would not let herself down this time." The old lady was afraid that her granddaughter would repeat the same mistake.

"My granddaughter understands. If I had known that I would have to enter the palace, I should not have told grandma and made her worry about me for so long."

"How can you think like that? If you don't tell me and keep it to yourself, grandma will be even more distressed. I've told you so many times, don't think that you're making the family worry and not telling me. We're more worried that you'll have to handle everything on your own."

"Yes, granddaughter understands. So grandma must live a long life and teach her granddaughter, otherwise she won't know what to do."

"You have done very well during this period and managed everything at home well. I don't need to teach you anything anymore." The old lady said, touching her head.

"No, my granddaughter still wants you to watch over her."

"Okay, grandma is here."

royal palace.

"Grandpa Huang, you are looking for me."

"Agui, I just received the letter sent by Huang Yan from Jining. Please take a look." Zhu Di handed the letter to him.

Zhu Zhanji frowned after reading it, "Grandpa Emperor, I want to go there in person."

"I knew you were going to say that. OK, bring a few doctors with you to check on Madam Hu's health."

"Yes, then I will go and prepare first, Grandpa Huang."

"Go."

Zhu Di came to the Yiku Palace.

"Why is your majesty frowning? Has something happened?" Concubine Wang saw that Zhu Di looked unhappy.

"You said it's really not easy for Agui to find a wife?"

"Could it be that... Didn't His Majesty ask the Imperial Observatory to observe the celestial phenomena? Didn't he say that this time it would be foolproof? Didn't Huang Yan already go to Jining? Could it be that some obstacle has arisen again?" Concubine Wang thought to herself, all those things before were man-made, could it be that God is playing a joke on her this time, and Miss Hu, whom Zhu Zhanji has been thinking about so much, is in trouble?

"Huang Yan went to Jining and has already arrived. He has also met Miss Hu and brought back some good news and some not-so-good news."

"What's the good news?" Concubine Wang still wanted to hear the good news first.

"Miss Hu is indeed a blessed person. On the morning of the second day after Huang Yan arrived, the small building where Miss Hu lived was surrounded by a ball of red and white mist. The most amazing thing is that it did not dissipate for a whole month. And everyone who saw it said it was a good omen." Zhu Di recounted the wonder.

"So, this Miss Hu San is indeed Zhanji's destiny." Concubine Wang was also surprised after hearing this.

"Not only that, I told you that at that time, in addition to asking the Imperial Observatory to look at the celestial phenomena, I also asked the Grand Tutor to calculate the fortunes of Agui and Miss Hu. The Grand Tutor said that Miss Hu would not only bring good luck to her husband, but also to the Ming Dynasty. Now it seems that the Grand Tutor was right. How could an ordinary person like this make the heavens send down auspicious signs?"

"So, what's the not-so-good news?"

"Alas, the old lady of the Hu family is in poor health now, and Hu Rong has asked for leave to return to her hometown."

"Is the situation not good?"

"It is said that it is. I have asked Agui to go there in person in the next two days and bring a few doctors with him. I hope they can help."

"Yes, it would be better for Agui to go there in person, so that he can feel at ease. Otherwise, Agui will also be worried in the palace."

"Who said it wasn't? Agui said he wanted to go before, and I didn't let him think it was against the rules. I can't stop him this time."

"Well, there's nothing to stop you. Just bring your granddaughter-in-law back and you'll be happy."

"Come to think of it, my beloved concubine, are you not too surprised about this matter between Agui and Miss Hu?" In the East Palace, after the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess heard about this, they were so surprised that they couldn't speak for a long time. After all, the previous scenes of Zhu Zhanji's deep love for Sun Ruoji were still fresh in their minds, and now their son was completely devoted to Hu Shanxiang. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess immediately wondered if Zhu Zhanji had been bewitched by someone again. Later, after getting to know Hu Shanxiang, they found that Zhu Zhanji's vision had indeed improved this time, and they were relieved.

"I was also very surprised, but not as exaggerated as the Crown Princess and the others. I am just calm and composed in the face of adversity."

"Yes, yes, my beloved concubine is the calmest when faced with a situation."

"Speaking of which, I have had the good fortune to meet Miss Hu San. Three years ago, when I held a flower-viewing banquet, Miss Hu San was on the list."

"Really? It seems that this Miss Hu is indeed closely connected to the palace."

After Zhu Zhanji returned, he prepared to leave for Jining overnight. The Crown Princess saw her son in such a hurry and thought to herself: This Mrs. Hu is even more powerful than Mrs. Sun before. Mrs. Sun had never made her son so nervous before.

"It seems that you really like her." The Crown Princess said to Zhu Zhanji.

"Mother, Shanxiang is a good girl. She is different from the previous ones. You will like her very much after you meet her." Zhu Zhanji thought of his previous life. His mother treated Shanxiang better than him, her own son. That was good.

"As long as she is a good person, I have no objection."

"Don't worry, mother. You will know once you see it."
