Chapter 330, Foolishness and Filial Piety
The funeral of Emperor Tong's concubine should be simple. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since Kangxi has hated Tong Jia's family, the fourth concubine is naturally too lazy to work hard for her funeral. It's just a matter of following the rules.
Seven days after the funeral stopped, the coffin of the imperial concubine went to the concubine's mausoleum for burial.
Tong Jiashi was not named queen and buried in a grand ceremony before his death, as recorded in history.
But that's right, Kangxi is willing to protect the name of her imperial concubine and let her be buried in the concubine's mausoleum as a deputy queen, which has already given the mother family a great face.
Since then, Emperor Tong's concubine has become a thing of the past, a past that is disgusted by the Six Palaces. There is no concubine in this palace who sincerely mourns her death, and if anyone really sees her off, there is only the fourth elder brother.
On the seventh day after the death of Emperor Tong's concubine, Zhao Yan's forehead finally scabbed, and finally there was no need to wrap thick gauze all day, but the forehead scabbed was unsightly.
As soon as Zhao Yan finished drinking the fetal medicine, she heard a report from the bottom that the fourth elder brother asked to see her.
"Why is he here?" Today is the day when Emperor Tong and Concubine Tong help the coffin out of the palace. It stands to reason that the imperial concubine is the deputy queen, he died, and the princes should mourn every day, but everyone knows that Kangxi is very disgusted with the imperial concubine Tong, and he never even showed up at her funeral.
Only the fourth elder brother was not perfunctory, he wore snow-white mourning clothes every day, went to mourn and mourn, and never slacked off for a day.
"He's been working hard these days, so call him in. Zhao Yan didn't think much about it, so she invited the fourth elder brother into the hall.
After all, the fourth elder brother is not a child, a half-grown boy, Zhao Yan should also be avoidant, and did not call him like the inner hall, but specially invited him to the main hall Mingjian.
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was wearing a snow-white filial piety suit, and his little face looked thinner, Zhao Yan asked: "Has the coffin of the imperial concubine been out of the palace?" - look at the appearance of the fourth elder brother, he should have just knelt down to send the coffin of the imperial concubine Tong out of the palace.
The fourth elder brother nodded, and he bit his lip: "Noble concubine...... I ......"
Seeing him snorting like this, Zhao Yan said, "What's wrong?
The fourth elder brother sniffed and forcibly suppressed his tears, "Noble concubine, I have heard that the imperial concubine Niangniang made a big mistake, so she was stopped by Khan Ama and died so soon." Everyone said she deserved it, but, but...... After all, she raised her son-in-law for a while, and her son-in-law went to mourn her for seven days, is it wrong?"
Zhao Yan listened, and couldn't help but be a little jealous of Tong Jia's family, Tong Jia's raising of the fourth elder brother had no sincerity at all, but in exchange for the fourth elder brother being so attentive. But Tong Jia's family was never satisfied when he died.
sighed in his heart, and said to the fourth elder brother with a smile: "Of course you are right. She has a little bit of support with you, and you have done your last thing to mourn him. ”
"But...... E-Niang was very unhappy. The fourth elder brother's eyes suddenly turned red, "She also scolded me, she said that she didn't recognize me as a son, and asked me to be a son for the imperial concubine!"
Finally, he didn't suppress the tears in his eyes, and the tears suddenly welled up.
Zhao Yan was distressed and sighed, "Concubine De said too much!" Zhao Yan hurriedly handed her handkerchief to the fourth elder brother, "Wipe it quickly, I've been crying for so many days, do you want to cry again?"
The fourth elder brother was a little confused, and hurriedly took the silk handkerchief, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes on his face, "Your mother, since your son has done nothing wrong, why is Eniang...... Do you want to be mean?" he bit his lip, and there was already resentment in his eyes.
At this time, if Zhao Yan pushes it again, the fourth elder brother will be estranged from Concubine De from now on.
But looking at this half-grown child, Zhao Yan really couldn't bear it, so she said: "Everyone's position is different, from the position of Concubine De, the imperial concubine treated her harshly in her early years, and even humiliated her. You are Concubine De's own son, but you go to mourn and mourn the person she hates the most, she will naturally be angry. ”
"However, the feud between you and the imperial concubine is far better than that of Eniang! You can understand the son! Why can't Eniang?!" The fourth elder brother frowned tightly, and his heart was in a knot.
"This ......" Zhao Yan was speechless for a while, she couldn't say, Concubine De has a small heart, right?
In the eyes of Concubine De, as a son, no matter whether he is right or wrong, he should be of the same heart and mind as her. Zhao Yan changed her euphemism to express her meaning.
The fourth elder brother's eyes were round, "But isn't that 'foolish filial piety'?!"
Zhao Yan smiled, isn't it just foolish filial piety! What Concubine De wants is not a filial son, but a foolish and filial son.
The fourth elder brother suddenly clenched his fists: "Even though the imperial concubine had a place to treat Eniang harshly in her early years, after all, Eniang's ability to serve Khan Ama is also because of the imperial concubine." It stands to reason that the grievances and grievances should also be offset!"
The fourth elder brother bit his lip, and he said in a low voice: "Your concubine...... Erchen also inquired that a few days before the imperial concubine died, the charcoal fire in Jingren Palace was stopped, which was secretly ordered by Eniang to be done by the Internal Affairs Office!"
Zhao Yan said secretly, it was really Concubine De!
"Concubine De is in a bad mood, don't fight her. Even if you think she's doing something wrong, there's no need to argue with her. Zhao Yan had no choice but to be so comforted.
"When this thing is over, it will be better. Zhao Yan said softly.
The fourth elder brother smiled bitterly: "Will it really pass?" Ke'er Chen looked, E-Niang couldn't get over it at all!"
Zhao Yan was silent for a moment before she said, "Anyway, Concubine De is your mother." You can't disobey her, or others will say you're not filial. ”
The wry smile on the fourth elder brother's face was even stronger: "What the noble concubine means, Erchen understands." The retainers will be filial to their mothers, and they will not give people the slightest opportunity to accuse!"
Co-authoring is just to avoid being blamed, so you go to filial piety to Concubine De?
This mother and son, after all, are centrifuged.
Concubine De, Concubine De, even if she hates Tong Jia's family, won't she put herself in the shoes of her children?
Concubine De remembers the old grudge too much, and the fourth elder brother misses the old kindness too much.
In Concubine De's heart, she wanted her son to maintain her at all times and stand by her side all the time. Concubine De blindly asked the fourth elder brother so much, but what did she do for the fourth elder brother?
In this world, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. Even if it is a biological mother and son, to maintain a relationship, it can't just rely on blood.
It is true that over the years, Emperor Tong and Concubine Tong have secretly provoked it, but if Concubine De had carefully maintained the relationship between mother and son, she would not have come to this point.
That's it, what is she worried about?!
The fourth elder brother is no longer a child, he knows how to do it.
It's just that in my heart, I feel a little sorry for the fourth elder brother. From Tong Jia's body, the fourth elder brother has never received maternal love, and Concubine De ...... It doesn't seem to be much better.
Alas......
