August 24th, is the death anniversary of Empress Gao, from the temple to usher in the gods, wipe the portrait, and attach the Empress Renxiao, the inner and outer women to worship together.

Linggu, Tianxi two temples invited monks recommend Lent, after the Ministry of Rites Shangshu sacrifices, it is the order of the women to burn the scriptures and recite the blessings, the head of the black press, the women of the foreign life are wearing plain clothes, the right ceremony, the same grade stands together, different grades are arranged in the order of one to five grades, when the same grade, the old is respected.

This kind of death day is also a walk ceremony, Empress Gao died for almost thirty years, Empress Renxiao has also been six or seven years, and the Zigong has also moved to Beiping, put in the mausoleum built in Tianshou Mountain, wait for a hundred years, the emperor's Zigong is also buried, and then seal the crypt forever.

Other people may not feel this way, especially the little concubines who have just entered the palace, their faces are full of youth, who would have thought about what their fate would be after the emperor a hundred years later? But Wang Guifei has already thought about it. The emperor went to Beijing this time, and she specifically asked the emperor to bring the stepping bed in her Yongning Palace to Beijing.

Wang Guifei is a native of Suzhou, Suzhou people are clever, when Wang Guifei entered the palace to serve the emperor, the eunuch in order to please her, a dowry to go to Suzhou to buy, bought a Nanmu platform four corners of the column to pull out the bed, this bed is so big that it almost can't be stuffed into the palace gate back then, because this bed is inlaid with a fence, on both sides and the back wall are separated by small windows, there is a roll canopy roof, there are steps below, the width and height are more than three meters, and the depth is up to four meters.

The palace in Beijing has been built to the sixth palace, Wang Guifei sent this bed to Beijing, and many other things she usually uses are brought with her, hoping to also put it in the Yongning Palace, facing the direction of Kunning Palace, in order to see Empress Renxiao in the evening.

Wang Guifei's move made the emperor deeply fond of it, and in that month, there were rewards for Yongning Palace almost every day. It was not an ordinary palace person who came up with this idea for Wang Guifei, nor was it a female historian and a female talent, but the old Shang Palace who accompanied Fengtian Palace. They served the emperor and knew the emperor's mind very well. After all, they have lived in Nanjing for a long time, and most of the courtiers are southerners, except for the nobles who followed the emperor Jingnan. The emperor wanted to move the capital, not only the courtiers were unhappy, but the concubines in the harem, even the concubines selected in the early years of Yongle, were also reluctant to go to Beijing, because they were also southerners.

But Wang Guifei clearly marked her support for moving the capital, and Wang Guifei is also a southerner, so she is not afraid that she will not be able to adapt to the climate in Beijing. And in Wang Guifei's heart, she cared more about what the emperor said to her, and promised her to be buried in the mausoleum after a hundred years.

This dynasty pursued the system of joint burial of emperors and queens, and there were only the original coffins in the mausoleum, and the attached tomb that the emperor said was next to the mausoleum where the emperor and queen were jointly buried, and another tomb was raised - but it was counted in the emperor's mausoleum. This is a great honor, think about the emperor's favored concubine Quan Xian, who died on the emperor's expedition to Mongolia, and was buried on the spot.

Concubine Wang finally had a home, and when she looked at these young palace concubines, her eyes showed deep pity.

The sacrifice didn't need to cry, but since someone cried, others also cried, and when Wang Guifei looked back, it turned out to be Concubine Kang.

There are many women in this palace who are very clever, and Concubine Kang is the best, but Concubine Wang admires the cleverness of others, but she hates Kang Huan alone. She entered the palace with Kang Huan, and during that period of time, Kang Huan was favored several times more than her. Pampering is not Kang Huan's original sin, she looks so moving, so talented, there is no man who is not fascinated by her.

Her original sin was that when she charmed the emperor, it was at the end of the fourth year of Yongle, and Empress Xu became seriously ill for a period of time.

Wang Guifei remembered that she served in Kunning Palace all day long, and eight points of her mind were on the queen, but there were still two points, and she was looking forward to the bright yellow figure in the palace - she always remembered the way Queen Xu looked at her, as if she was insightful, like gentleness, like pity, and there were many things, so that every time she thought about it, she couldn't help but mourn.

It's been seven years, and she can't let go, let alone the emperor?

Kang Huan is like an epiphany in the dark night, the flowering period comes too quickly, and after the east wind overnight, the dazzle will also disappear.

The women in the palace are good at crying, but they can't compare to Kang Huan's tears, but in the midst of mourning, Wang Guifei still couldn't help but feel emotional, and her eyes were red.

"Meow-" A thin voice came, but it was quickly drowned out in the grand sound of the law, and almost no one noticed that a snow-white cat jumped in lightly. I saw that the kitten had long white hair, and on its round little head, there were a pair of small pinnacle-like ears. The underside of the ears is really a pair of big royal blue eyes, which are not only translucent, but also change color with the light.

This is Zhang Guifei's favorite cat, the first time the eunuch of the Three Treasures went to the West, the offspring of a cat brought from Siam and the cubs born by the lion cat in the palace. Siamese cats have petite bones and a gentle temper, and the concubines in the palace like it very much.

The cat was originally going to Zhang Guifei, but the curtain was blown by the wind a few times, and the cat seemed to smell something, it moved its nose and walked in one direction.

"Oops," several young Zhaoyi beauties noticed and whispered, "Isn't this Zhang Niangniang's snow dragon?"

Everyone in the palace knows that this cat is very coquettish, other cats are not as squeamish as it, Zhang Niangniang likes to put it on the footstool the most, watching its two front legs trembling on the edge of the bed, stretching out a finger, Xuelong stared at her fingers with two eyes purring, and finally aimed, stretched out his claws to reach, and forgot that his paws were in front of him, and finally had to fall backwards, which made Zhang Niangniang laugh every time.

Usually Xuelong was in a good mood, and he was willing to let them tease the little concubines, but today it was so focused on searching for something that it didn't pay attention to a few hands that teased it.

"Meow—" It seemed to determine a direction and waved its paw at the woman on the futon.

Kang Huan was crying miserably, but suddenly felt as if her back had been scratched a few times, she turned her head to look, but suddenly saw that in the oblique side, Sun Shi, the adopted daughter of the East Palace, seemed to show a frightened look - she was so frightened that she screamed and stretched out her hand to wave wildly.

She seemed to be holding something furry, but the snow dragon told her to pinch her neck, and suddenly showed her sharp claws and waved twice at the person in front of her.

It was difficult for Concubine Kang to pay attention to the chaos there Wang Guifei wanted to pay attention to, she asked with a straight face, and saw that Kang Huan was frightened, and her clothes were torn, and the initiator turned out to be Zhang Guifei's cat.

It wasn't Kang Concubine's fault, she was about to blast the cat out, but she saw the thing lying on the ground, sniffed Kang Concubine's handkerchief to wipe her tears—and then kept sneezing.

Kang Huan's face changed, and she wanted to take the handkerchief away from under the cat, but Wang Guifei could already see it clearly, and she ordered someone to take the handkerchief back and sniff it.

"Concubine Kang!" Wang Guifei was furious: "How can you explain this handkerchief soaked in ginger water!"

There are a lot of mourning things in the palace, not that you need to cry every time, just have a sad face, Confucius advocates from the heart, and it is not necessarily in action. But if Concubine Kang uses such means to deceive everyone, she cannot be forgiven.
