321 The emperor passed away and the prince ascended the throne
Wishes are always beautiful, but reality is always cruel.
Just after the New Year, Emperor Chengguang's physical condition took a sharp turn for the worse, getting worse day by day. The lively New Year atmosphere in the entire palace was diluted a lot by this news.
Ning Yujin tried her best but couldn't do anything. Considering Emperor Chengguang's condition, being able to survive for so long was beyond everyone's imagination. She is not a fairy, and there is no way for everyone to live a long life.
Mo Ye should have been the saddest person, but he still came to persuade Ning Yujin: "Sir, don't feel too guilty. With my father's body, it is already a miracle that it can be delayed until this time. Maybe for him
He said that if it continues like this, it will be torture, so it is better to be freed as soon as possible and achieve bliss as soon as possible."
The doctors in the palace had come to a conclusion half a year ago, and the palace had already prepared a coffin for Emperor Chengguang, and now it was finally put to use.
After guarding Emperor Chengguang for three days and three nights, Ning Yujin walked out of the Yangxin Hall with two panda eyes and shook her head at the people waiting outside the hall.
Mo Ye and Mo Jingxiao looked at each other and quickly entered the palace.
Behind them stood a woman in her forties or fifties wearing a plain blue palace dress. She did not follow them, but stood there without moving, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and closing her eyes without looking around.
Ning Yujin paid attention. After hearing the news of Emperor Chengguang's death, she spun the beads much faster.
She thought to herself, this must be the queen of that week.
What's strange is that Emperor Chengguang has been ill for so long, but she has been worshiping Buddha in her palace and never came here to see him. Even after he died, she just stood at the door, closed her eyes and mourned in silence
.
What kind of feeling is this?
Mo Jingxiao and Mo Ye quickly walked out of the room. The palace officials had already put on white mourning clothes for them. A eunuch flicked his fly whisk and shouted——
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, is here!"
Ning Yujin turned around to take a look at them, and when she turned back again, she saw that Zhou Hou had already boarded the sedan chair, being carried by several eunuchs, and slowly walked away.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Chengguang died.
All the people are in mourning, and the whole country mourns together.
Mo Jingxiao stayed in front of the soul all day long, and only asked 108 to take care of Ning Yujin. After saying goodbye at the door of Yangxin Hall that day, he disappeared for several days.
This year's Shangyuan Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, was more deserted than any other year.
There are no river lanterns, no fireworks, no word puzzles, no singing and dancing. The red lanterns everywhere have been replaced by white lanterns, just like the vast expanse of white snow.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Crown Prince Mo Ye ascended the throne and changed his reign to Tianyou. Crown Princess Shen Yixuan was named Queen Yuhua, Queen Zhou was Queen Mother Jinghui, and Queen Mother Yin was named Queen Mother Mingxi.
The rest promoted several officials in various ministries and rewarded several people. Those who could be promoted were promoted to officials, and those who could be promoted to knights were promoted. Those like Mo Jingxiao who had already reached the end of their career were given a few false appointments and received various rewards.
On the day Mo Ye ascended the throne, Ning Yujin packed her things and was about to leave. A eunuch came over and said that the emperor had something to give her.
Ning Yujin thought Mo Ye had also prepared a reward for her, but when she opened it and saw a two or three-foot golden Buddha, she was stunned for a moment.
The little eunuch said: "Sir, the emperor said that this is a reward for eating dumplings on New Year's Eve. You give the small bamboo sign to the slave, and the slave will go back to his life."
"Oh, okay." Ning Yujin found the small bamboo sign and handed it to the little eunuch, watching him exit.
To be honest, she had no real intention to redeem the golden Buddha, so she had already forgotten about the small bamboo token. But how did Mo Ye know that she had obtained the bamboo token?
"Miss, everything has been packed, do you want to leave?"
"Well, let's go." Ning Yujin was too lazy to think about this, responded to Zisu, packed up and went out.
The carriage was waiting at the entrance of the yard, and Ning Yujin got into the carriage with Zi Su helping her.
At this moment, a long and low ox horn tune was heard resounding through the sky, whimpering throughout the entire imperial city.
Ning Yujin turned her head and looked in that direction, her eyes narrowed slightly.
In Daye, the dynasty changed.
Returning to Prince Ding's Mansion, two large white lanterns were hung outside Prince Ding's Mansion, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of everyone in the mansion to welcome Ning Yujin back.
Yes, it is said that the whole country is mourning, but how many people are really sad for Emperor Chengguang?
"Miss, you are back!" Xiangyue came out with a smile, took Ning Yujin's arm, and complained as she walked, "It's a good time for you to leave. The tempers of these little maids all follow yours. I
They are about to cause trouble. If you don't come back, there will really be trouble."
"How can it be that exaggerated?" Ning Yujin smiled and patted Xiangyue's hand, "You can't even do anything to me, but you can't do anything to those little girls?"
Xiangyue suddenly smiled: "Miss, you..."
"Miss, are you just talking to Sister Xiangyue and ignoring me?" Next to her, Xiangqiao, who had a fair and chubby face, puffed out her cheeks and looked at Ning Yujin aggrievedly, like a little girl who had only been abandoned by her master.
cat.
Ning Yujin stretched out her hand and patted her forehead: "Oh, we forgot about our little Xiangqiao, we should be beaten, we should be beaten!"
As he said that, he took out a small pendant from his arms like a magic trick, with a small bell hanging underneath, and put it in Xiangqiao's hand, "Let me apologize, can't I apologize?"
Like Ning Yujin, Xiangqiao was not very discerning about jewelry, but she liked these exquisite gadgets very much and took them immediately with joy.
Xia Zhu, Qiu Yun and the others also came over, followed by a lot of little girls that Xiang Yue was training recently.
The eldest girls have all reached the age of marriage. It is estimated that it will only happen in the past two years. It is best to train some successors as soon as possible to avoid being in a hurry later.
A group of people gathered around Ning Yujin and returned to Qiannuang Pavilion. She was used to keeping a low profile on weekdays, but she was really not used to being surrounded by so many people. As soon as she arrived at the door, she quickly waved to let them go.
Leave a few personal maids to serve you.
As soon as she entered the room, she felt the familiar warm breath blowing against her face. Ning Yujin jumped onto the soft couch in a few steps, hugged the pillow and closed her eyes in enjoyment: "Hey, my own kennel is the most comfortable among gold and silver dens.
ah."
The palace is really not a place for people like her.
Xiangyue had already prepared a lot of candied melon and fruit snacks for Ning Yujin, for fear that she would not be able to eat anything while she was out and would become greedy.
Ning Yujin looked at her favorite snacks and felt that this was the most comfortable place in her life. She lay lazily on the couch, opened her mouth and said coquettishly to Xiangyue: "Hey——"
A row of black lines appeared on Xiangyue's forehead. I really wanted to ask Ning Yujin how old she was this year.
Ning Yujin was teasing Xiangyue when she heard someone coming in and announcing that Mr. Murong was here.
She quickly put down her improper posture, raised the corner of her mouth with a smile and said, "It came really fast."
