Leaving the Yanxi Palace with cries, Lan Ying followed her sister and saw her body gradually turning from heavy to light. She felt that the emperor would finally come. She didn't know what it meant to the deceased, but her sister would continue to do so.
She was able to let go of her burden. She caught up with Lan Qi and just called her sister, but she saw her sister, who looked so relaxed, with tears streaming down her face. She couldn't help but asked nervously: "Sister, are you feeling sad?"
Lan Qi shook her head, realizing her tears, covering them up with a silk handkerchief, and still walking lightly towards Yonghe Palace.
The night wind was blowing, and there was already the coolness of early autumn. Lan Ying heard her sister say: "People die every day in the Forbidden City. The maids and eunuchs disappear from here quietly, the concubines, the concubines, and even the emperor's young concubines.
Even princes and princesses, there are always one or two of these people every year. Over the past twenty years, I have sent away so many people, and never once did my mood feel as complicated as it does now. In the past, I was just sad or indifferent.
But this time, I thought a lot."
Lan Ying couldn't understand her sister's words, so she whispered: "You cry and shed tears, isn't it just because you don't want to be around Min often? Isn't this enough?"
Lan Qi nodded: "Yes, that's enough."
"Anyway, the matter is over. You can have a good rest in a few days. You may have to worry about her death." Lan Ying sighed, "They are all poor people. I don't know if Da Fujin has been sent back."
After dawn that day, the news of the death of Concubine Min of Yanxi Palace spread throughout the palace and outside the palace. The emperor issued the final decree in the early morning to posthumously confer Zhang Jia as Concubine Min. Zhang Jia had given birth to children for the royal family.
After being promoted to the concubine position, it is reasonable for the emperor to pursue the title of concubine, and a deceased person with an insignificant family background is not worthy of the ministers' criticism and criticism of the emperor's decision.
The imperial edict was quickly spread to the inner palace, and Concubine Min's funeral was naturally arranged according to the specifications of the concubine. As a result, many people from the clan's noble civil and military ministers came to express their condolences, and Concubine Min's Zi Palace stopped in Yan.
When the Jubilee Palace, a place that had always been quiet, finally became lively, it was because of this kind of thing.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were the first to come to pay their respects to Concubine Min and offer incense. They were both in shock. There was a slight mistake in the glass of wine or the plate of snacks that Dafu Jin brought to them. Now it is their souls who are receiving the incense. But many years ago in the study room,
The tragedy happened and he went straight to the prince. Thinking about it still makes him feel frightened. In the past few days, he felt inexplicably that it was good to be alive.
Other princes, Prince Baylor, and others also came to the palace to express their condolences. Because the men had some errands to attend to, the female relatives would come in advance to attend the occasion. Concubine Min received such generous treatment from the emperor before her death. Of course, these things were done for the emperor to see.
, there are so many people here who have never even seen the appearance of Concubine Min. When they were holding incense and saluting, they really didn’t know what they were thinking in their hearts.
If there are too many people, the turnover will be difficult, so we have to ask a few people to wait for a while. The summer heat in late July is not over, and the sun is also a bit fierce in the morning. The delicate skin of the female family members cannot be exposed to the sun, but there is a funeral in the Yanxi Palace.
, people who know a little bit about etiquette will not show it on their faces, but some people can't bear it. In the final analysis, they still look down on the deceased from the bottom of their hearts.
Several elder brothers, Fujin, came together. Several princes and concubines and old Fujin were offering incense and saluting in the palace. People in Yanxi Palace were so busy that they could only ask several elder brothers, Fujin, to wait under the eaves. How about Wu Fujin?
Everyone was extremely polite, but for a while, he didn't care at all, but he heard San Fujin yelling in a long-winded voice: "At least put a few stools here. Which servant in the palace is so stupid? Really?"
It's very strange. I haven't seen anyone like me in normal times. After receiving such a great benefit, I am on par with Queen Hesheli's sister. It's a pity that I have a low birth status and I can't change it. Look at the slaves in this room. They are all the same.
Parashaft phase.”
"Fu Jin, please be more respectful. After all, my wife is the emperor's concubine Min, and she is your elder." A palace maid in plain clothes walked out of the crowd, holding two thick stacks of silver foil in her hands, with a haggard and tired face.
Full of righteousness, he glared at San Fujin and said, "I feel sorry for you, I have to wait for a while, but the dead person is the most important. This is a etiquette that even children understand."
The speaker was the palace maid Xiao Yu who always followed Concubine Min. Fujin, who often came to the palace, recognized her somewhat, but San Fujin didn't care who she was, how could she allow a lowly slave to talk to her like this, but he actually stepped forward and raised his hand to reward her?
He gave me a slap in the face and scolded: "What kind of despicable thing did you come to teach me etiquette? Your master is a short-lived ghost. Why don't you follow him even if you don't show your loyalty and filial piety? Do you want me to help you?"
Xiaoyu fell to the ground, the silver foil in his hand spread out, and the silver foil spread all over the floor. Sanfujin was pulled away by the sisters-in-law. The maids and eunuchs nearby came to help pick up the silver foil, but suddenly Xiaoyu jumped up from the ground.
, he casually picked up the wooden plate with silver foil and threw it at San Fujin. Everyone was so frightened that they rushed over and pulled Xiao Yu away from him. San Fujin's eyes were as wide as copper bells.
When he regained consciousness, he shouted: "It's terrible, this dog slave dares to hit me."
But suddenly, palace maids and eunuchs from other places filed in from the front of the door and stood on both sides. They saw Empress Tong and Empress De being crowded into the door. The ground was messy, and inside was old Fujin who was offering incense.
They all trembled and came out to take a look at the scene. Nobleman Jue Chan helped someone who could not free his hands. Everyone who was noisy at first shut up when they saw Concubine Tong and Concubine De.
"What's going on?" Lan Qi asked the people in Yanxi Palace. Xiao Anzi, Yinxiang's attendant, was holding Xiao Yu's hand. At this moment, he came over and knelt at the empress's knees, crying and told what had just happened. Lan Qi and Concubine Tong were both
Seeing San Fujin being dragged down by several sisters-in-law, the anger on her face was still there, and there was a bit of disgusting domineering arrogance under her nervous expression.
"Sister, forget it, there are many relatives inside." Concubine Tong said softly to Lan Qi, "I will deal with them. Sister, please get rid of this place quickly to avoid making another joke."
Then I saw Concubine Tong coming to the mourning hall, greeting several old Fujins, and signaling to the noble Jue Chan to invite them to rest elsewhere. In the courtyard, the eunuchs and maids hurriedly picked up all the silver foil scattered on the floor. Xiao Yu was stubborn.
Standing aside, arranging their clothes, Lan Qi waved for them all to go down. Huan Chun went over to pull Xiao Yu away, took her away, and asked Lv Zhu Zi Yu to take charge of the affairs here. They just left for a while,
It's a mess.
Several people from Wufujin came forward to salute Concubine De. Lan Qi nodded in response and told them: "It's not easy for you old Fujins. Although you are Prince Fujin, you are still juniors. Go and take care of Concubine Tong."
I'll leave the palace with them soon, but please don't make any mistakes."
Wu Fujin and others responded, but San Fujin shamelessly wanted to follow them. Lan Qi called out to the third family in a cold voice and said in a cold voice: "Go back."
San Fujin couldn't swallow it in one breath. His sisters-in-law and others were watching him. He had just been disrespected by the palace maid again. When he thought that Concubine De had to fight against him regardless of his superiority, he couldn't think about it. He approached Concubine De angrily and said:
"I haven't put any incense on my concubine yet, why do you want me..."
But before San Fujin finished speaking, he saw Empress De Fei raise her hand and slap her across the face. The force was not too strong, but it was enough to make San Fujin stagger a few steps. Empress De Fei didn't say a word to her, and only ordered her to follow her.
The eunuch said: "Send Sanfujin out of the palace immediately." After saying this, he walked towards the mourning hall. Wufujin and others did not dare to watch the fun anymore and quickly followed them away.
Although not many people saw this incident, it was quite new. As Sanfujin was sent out of the palace, the news that she had been slapped by Concubine De spread.
Concubine Rong was waiting in front of the Queen Mother at that time. After hearing such words, her face turned red and she wanted to hide in the cracks of the ground. The Queen Mother sighed: "Lan Qi is so easy to get angry. What on earth did that one of yours do? Concubine Rong, even
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager praised your conduct, so why are you calling your daughter-in-law so much that your reputation will be ruined for the rest of your life?"
Concubine Rong blindly admitted her mistake to the Queen Mother. After leaving Ningshou Palace, she was so angry that she had a headache again. She asked Ji Xin to tell her son that San Fujin would not be allowed to enter the palace again and that she would not be summoned in the palace in the future.
Don't come in again in this life.
Who would have thought that when Yinzhi went back to blame his wife for being reckless, the couple had a few words of disagreement, and Sanfujin, who went crazy, started fighting with her husband, seeking death and survival with scissors, and finally cut off a section of Yinzhi's braid with a knife.
Originally, fighting was a matter of the family, and outsiders might not know that even if a braid was twisted, a fake braid could be used to connect it. However, Yinzhi was unlucky. When he was talking with his brothers in Qianqing Palace, the fake braid fell off.
He fell to the ground, and everyone present saw it. The emperor's anger can be imagined. When the third elder brother walked out of Qianqing Palace that day, he had been demoted from Prince Cheng to Baylor. The emperor tried his best to give him a gold medal.
After all, the offer of the county throne was too generous. Concubine Rong was so angry that she couldn't even attend Concubine Min's funeral.
At this moment, the three-day appointment between the emperor and his close ministers had already passed, and Dafujin's body was returned to the eldest brother the day after Concubine Min's death. The emperor allowed Dafujin's funeral to be held according to the standards of a princess.
There were funerals in and out of the palace, and the royal family and relatives, who were originally focused on the happy event, didn't even understand the matter, so they just had to deal with it everywhere.
After this period of hustle and bustle, it was already August. The autumn of this year was particularly desolate. Although only Yanxi Palace held funerals, the entire Forbidden City was immersed in inexplicable sadness. It was clear that there was a happy event for the princess.
, later people thought about it carefully and realized that perhaps what they were sad about was not the death of Concubine Ming or Dafu Jin, but the terrifying poisonous hand hiding in the dark corner. Maybe the next person to be poisoned and die would be themselves.
Lan Qi has been handling Xing'er's posthumous affairs in an orderly manner, and has achieved the utmost dignity in terms of the status of the concubine. Except for giving Sanfujin a slap that day, her mood is stable and peaceful. That day, she heard that the emperor went to Ningshou Palace to express his gratitude to the Queen Mother.
Reporting the results of the investigation into the poisoning matter, since Lan Qi was not summoned, she knew that it was inconvenient for her, so she cheered up and went to Jingyang Palace. In any case, the third elder brother was punished, if she could have done it again
If you calm down, maybe it won't come to this.
Concubine Rong was also an understanding person. When she heard Lan Qi's apology, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "If you don't beat her, it will be spread that she and the palace maid are fighting. The queen mother will still blame me, and I will still ask Yinzhi not to let her in."
, even if she is crazy, she will still cause such a thing, what does it have to do with you? She is a lunatic. "
