mourned Chang Yuchun, and naturally wanted to talk about Chang Meirong's marriage. The people in Changfu looked worried, and they didn't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang planned to let the prince's wedding be held as scheduled or postponed, or even cancel the wedding.

"Chang's marriage will be made within 100 days, the original wedding date will remain unchanged, and the prince will be the son in law for the king of Kaiping for three months." Ma Xiuying explained: "The emperor hopes to use the auspiciousness of festive events to wash away the bad luck caused by the death of King Kaiping, so that you can come out of your grief as soon as possible." ”

Everyone was relieved when they heard that the wedding would not change, especially Chang Mao was obviously relaxed, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would cancel the wedding, Chang Yuchun had already died of illness, and if he lost the relationship between the princess and his relatives, Chang Fu would really lose.

"It's just that I wronged you, when something like this happens......" Ma Xiuying looked at Chang Meirong with pity, Chang Yuchun would definitely not use her as a political tool, but her brother was difficult to say.

"Queen Mother, is the daughter-in-law's father really gone?" Chang Meirong threw herself into Ma Xiuying's arms and cried silently, she still doesn't want to accept this fact.

Ma Xiuying stroked her back and comforted: "Good child, don't be sad, you don't have a father, a mother, a father and a prince." The queen mother will take care of you like your mother, and the emperor will love you like your father. ”

"Queen Mother!" Chang Meirong cried bitterly, and soon soaked the clothes on Ma Xiuying's chest.

Ma Xiuying was not angry, hugged her and told Chang Mao: "In the future, the house will rely on you to support, you have to take care of the princess and younger siblings, especially in the future, you must be virtuous and hold Yu, don't fall your father's reputation." ”

Chang Mao choked up and said: "Thank you for the teachings of Queen Mother, Weichen should keep it in mind. ”

Ma Xiuying accompanied the Lan family in Changfu for half a day. The Lan family was in a trance, and the affairs of the house were all handled by Chang Mao and Chang Meirong, Chang Mao was responsible for accompanying the guests who came to mourn, and Chang Meirong was handling the trivial affairs of the inner house. Seeing Chang Meirong taking care of the middle feed in an orderly manner, Ma Xiuying nodded secretly, in the end, she is a tiger girl, and she can still be in danger in the face of drastic changes.

On the third day, Chang Yuchun's body was transported back to the capital by blue jade, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to Changfu to pay respects. Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others, who were friends with Chang Yuchun, wrote letters asking to return to Beijing to attend the funeral, and Zhu Yuanzhang played it and chose to bury Zhongshan seven days later. During this period, people are not allowed to marry and celebrate birthdays, and officials must abstain from fasting and vegetarianism.

On the day of Chang Yuchun's burial, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao and his ministers to the funeral early in the morning.

Ma Xiuying wanted to bring the Lan family to the palace to appease, but the Lan family insisted on giving Chang Yuchun a funeral, so Ma Xiuying had to let her go and sent a doctor to take care of her body at any time.

Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's fainting and vomiting blood, the palace was very quiet for a while, the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to speak loudly, and the concubines also stayed in the palace and rarely walked around.

God seems to be remembering Chang Yuchun, a hero who died young, and it has been drizzling for several days in a row, swaying with the wind, desolate, dashing, and adding a bit of desolation.

"The weather is getting colder, it's time for the master to add clothes." Xun Ying found a few matches for Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying chose a plain armor to put on the outside of the jacket.

Bai Ling asked, "The master's face is slightly dark, do you wipe some rouge?" ”

Ma Xiuying smiled lightly, "Can't you see people in this palace without rubbing grease and powder?" ”

It was a joke, but it scared Bai Ling to the ground and begged for mercy, "The master's face is still the same, and he looks good without rubbing rouge, but the slave said the wrong thing, please punish the master." ”

Ma Xiuying was stunned, is she so scary, she used to be funny with these girls, and she didn't see them nervous, but today she just said casually, how could Bai Ling be so frightened.

Xun Ying frowned and said, "The master is joking with you, you can't even see it?" What is the sin? ”

Bai Ling came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly: "The master has a tense face in the past few days, and suddenly joked with the slave maid, but the slave and maid didn't react......"

"Let's go down." Ma Xiuying was not interested, and was not in the mood to listen to Bai Ling's explanation. She stroked her face and looked at the mirror, is she really old, so old that she can't even look at the palace people around her, and she wants to remind herself to put on makeup? But no, the woman in the mirror has sallow skin and loose eyes, and even though her demeanor is dignified and elegant, she can't hide the nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose and the silver threads between her sideburns.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The most important thing is that I can't keep it in the world, and Zhu Yan is a flowery tree." It seems that Hongu is indeed old. ”

Xun Ying hurriedly comforted, "The master is not old, the master is still young." ”

"Forty-one flowers for men, forty tofu scum for women, I'm almost forty, how young can I talk about?"

Xun Ying muttered in a low voice, "The slave is telling the truth, the master is much younger than Princess Kaiping." ”

Ma Xiuying said angrily: "You compare me with a widowed woman, why don't you compare me with those new show girls?" ”

Xun Ying said half-truthfully: "How can those women have a master, the emperor will forget it in two years, but the emperor has never neglected the master." ”

Thinking of those new show girls who entered the palace, Ma Xiuying asked, "Can Li Meiren settle down recently?" ”

"Li Meiren doesn't often go out of Jingyang Palace, and the slave doesn't know the specific situation, but I heard that every time she sleeps, the emperor will ask her to sing. For this reason, Concubine Hui also lost her temper, saying that Li Meiren was arguing with her, which is also strange, since Concubine Hui doesn't like her, why did she still leave her in Jingyang Palace? ”

"Who will Concubine Hui like in this harem?" Ma Xiuying smiled faintly, "Don't get involved in the affairs of their palace, just keep an eye on the people who enter and leave Jingyang Palace." She whispered to Xunying about Guo Xia's private contact with Li Shanchang a few days ago.

Xun Ying suddenly realized, "No wonder Concubine Hui wants to keep Li Meiren in Jingyang Palace, it turns out that they are a raccoon dog." ”

"Whether it is an embarrassment or a raccoon dog, as long as someone dares to collude with the foreign minister in private, they will all be arrested and interrogated." Ma Xiuyingsen said coldly. Since Li Shanchang and Guo Hui have been unfavorable to her several times, she must also seize the opportunity to trip these two.

The strange thing is that since Guo Xia met Li Shanchang privately, Guo Hui and Li Shanchang have not moved, one honestly stays in Jingyang Palace to give birth, the other never steps into the harem without edict, and does not see the henchmen of the two in private contact.

In mid-August, Guo Hui successfully gave birth to a prince, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the name Chun, although he is a prince, but for Zhu Yuanzhang there are already many sons, and he has not recovered from the grief of losing Chang Yuchun, he only glanced at Zhu Chun, comforted Guo Hui a few words, and went to Li Meiren's side hall.

"Mother, you can't be angry during the month." Guo Xia said uneasily: "The emperor said that Niangniang should be confined with peace of mind, and when he comes to Jingyang Palace in the future, Niangniang does not have to take over the car, so she can live and recuperate." ”

The main hall where Guo Hui lives is very close to the side hall where Li Meiren lives, and every time Zhu Yuanzhang comes to Jingyang Palace, she waits at the palace gate in advance, so Zhu Yuanzhang has to enter her bedroom to sit for a while anyway. However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was getting more and more troublesome, and he had to deal with Guo Hui first to find Li Meiren, Guo Hui's loose skin was not as attractive as Li Meiren, so she didn't have to wait for her in the future.

Guo Xia knew that this would definitely make Guo Hui angry, but Zhu Yuanzhang's will was greater than everything, and she could only convey it head-on.

"What, he doesn't want to see this palace anymore?" Guo Hui was half angry, she felt more and more that it was a wrong decision to keep Li Meiren in Jingyang Palace, where was this to give her a solid favor, and it was obviously to block her. Thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang was sleeping with other women in her arms under her nose, her silver teeth were about to be crushed, and she couldn't wait to scratch Li Meiren's face immediately. But this woman is being pampered by Zhu Yuanzhang, and she is Li Shanchang's person, Guo Hui can only think about it, and silently scolds Li Shanchang and Li Meiren in her heart. 19610
