Empress Wang and Concubine Wu died on the same day.

Rumors spread in the palace when they were neutral.

Wei Qian immediately made a decision, ordered someone to block the palace gate, and scolded the palace people to shut up. Then report to the Queen Mother and start the funeral arrangements.

It was carried out in an orderly manner, but fortunately, Wei Qian had been in charge of palace affairs during this time, and he had the power in his hands and his prestige was quite high.

And the queen does not hold power, unlike other imperial harems. As long as the court runs smoothly, there is no danger of chaos in the harem.

"Don't do it, don't do it!" In Ningshou Palace, Wei Qian took a sip of tea and complained to Empress Dowager Chen: "Although the concubine entered the palace not to say that she came to enjoy happiness, she was not specifically working for her life. If you want to worry about it, let the Ministry of Rites toss about this kind of thing. The concubine is too lazy to be stained with a fishy body. ”

Tossing and turning all afternoon, busy and dizzy.

Empress Dowager Chen pinched a plum fruit and looked calm. She was mentally prepared for the death of the two. Who can hide the things in the harem?

Queen Wang poisoned Wu Guifei, and Wu Guifei poisoned the queen, how can this kind of dishonorable thing in the harem be spread?

And there is also the push hand of the Empress Dowager Chen. Queen Wang's death, Empress Dowager Chen was happy. And the death of Wu Guifei made Situ Yun a little less obstacle in the previous dynasty, and he could rest assured that he would attack the Wu family.

Therefore, she helped sweep the tail and erase the evidence of the two poisoning.

"Who does you do if you don't do it? As the saying goes, the head of the house must go through two things: red and white. Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile: "This opportunity is just for you to give the palace people prestige." ”

Wei Qian frowned slightly, thinking of the fact that she had been in the palace for the past few years, she sighed: "That's it, but my sister ...... over there"

"This palace was originally meant to bring you sisters together. However, yesterday, the imperial doctor came to report that Concubine Jia was pregnant and inconvenient to move the fetus. ”

Therefore, those who can work harder can only be done by Wei Qian.

In the evening, after Situ Yun went to Fengzao Palace to visit the dragon fetus, he came to Wei Qian's place to discuss the funeral.

"The queen mother is naturally buried in accordance with the queen's rites, and tomorrow let the Ministry of Rites send the regulations, and your majesty can look at it."

Situ Yun frowned, he really didn't have the heart to worry about this at the moment. There are heavy affairs on the other side, and there is a drought and earthquake to deal with, and he has been very busy these days.

"Don't worry, you can do it. Tomorrow, I will send a decree to the Ministry of Rites to come. ”

"How does this work?" Wei Qian was shocked when she heard this: "The concubine herself talks to the Ministry of Rites?" The harem rules must not be like this. ”

"I have to discuss the disaster relief in Jiaodong with a few adults tomorrow, and I don't have time to manage this. discussed in the harem of the mother, and the queen mother asked, but others couldn't say anything. Situ Yun was a little impatient: "Haven't you met Zhu Zhiming?" ”

"Okay." Wei Qian should go down. She is already a cool character, and letting the Ministry of Rites Shangshu pass on the word to the Son of Heaven is nothing more than afraid of gossip from others. But Situ Yun didn't care, what was she worried about?

"What about Sister Guifei? After all, my sister has the virtue of following the six palaces, and she has made great contributions to Her Majesty in the past. And ......" Wei Qian hesitated and lightly said: "Comfort the family, but also calm people's hearts." ”

Situ Yun's heart moved, and he understood Wei Qian's hint. Giving Wu Guifei a generous burial can temporarily alleviate the conflict with the Wu family.

Show your generosity, and by the way, you can paralyze the Wu family. If you start in the future, you won't be at a loss. And now that the imperial court is busy with disaster relief in the previous court, it is indeed not suitable to clean up officials.

"Being able to make the Wu family forces temporarily put aside other thoughts, a thick burial is a good political hint. "Situ Yun's heart is alive, and he does have a little love for Wu Guifei. At least Wu Guifei is much more lovely than the queen.

"What do you mean......

"The concubine is already top-notch, and there is nothing to seal. If she is buried with the queen's gift, even if Sister Wu has no children, it will have an impact on the prince. It is better to use half a queen guard of honor to show honor. ”

"Yes. Tomorrow you can consult with the Ministry of Rites. Situ Yun fell asleep after washing.

The Emperor's job is indeed not easy to do.

Wei Qian's management of Nanqin already understood the difficulty of the king, not to mention the huge country of Shenzhou.

Blowing out the lamp to rest, the two of them got up at the same time early the next morning.

Dressed and eaten hastily, Situ Yun rushed to the front court to deal with government affairs, while Wei Qian settled in the palace to stop the funeral, and the palace was replaced with white flag soul lamps everywhere. After saying hello to the Emperor, he came to Ningshou Palace to see the concubines.

Jia Yuanchun has been very stimulated in the past two days, the queen and Wu Guifei died at the same time, and the two old opponents died, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a while, like a dream.

Wei Qian saw that her expression was wrong, so she invited Jia's mother to comfort her early in the morning, so as not to hurt the fetal gas.

Mother Jia went to the palace once, and she was ordered to let her raise the fetus with peace of mind.

"If you can win the man in one fell swoop, that's the real big win. It doesn't matter if you hand over the rights to Wei Qian for the time being, as long as the mother raises the baby with peace of mind and gives birth to the second prince, with the efforts of our family in the future, we may be able to fight. ”

Needless to say, Jia Yuanchun naturally knows how to do it.

As a result, Jia Yuanchun in Ningshou Palace was dignified and decent, with a sad look. said hello to Wei Qian: "The two sisters took care of us a lot in the past, and my sister must send the two sisters to sleep well." ”

Wei Qian couldn't hear whether Jia Yuanchun was telling the truth or the opposite, so she nodded.

After that, the concubines went to guard the queen's spirit, and Jia Yuanchun went with them. It's just that she has two bodies, and the queen mother didn't dare to let her work, so after a turn in the two palaces, she sent her back to the palace to rest.

And Concubine Wen stayed by Wei Qian's side and discussed with the Queen Mother. At present, the affairs in the palace are busy, and Wei Qian has no skills, so she has to ask Concubine Wen to help and assist.

Wei Qian said: "The prince is young, I'm afraid he doesn't know anything. But after all, it is his biological mother and adoptive concubine. Let the nurse carry him to the two palaces for a turn. ”

Concubine Wen agreed: "Yes, you can't let people point to the prince and say that you are not filial in the future." ”

The queen mother thought about it and ordered someone to go to the apse to invite the prince out, and asked Concubine Wen to personally take the prince to guard the queen's spirit.

Soon after, Zhu Zhiming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came.

He showed the funeral process prepared by the Ministry of Rites to the Queen Mother and Wei Qian.

The Queen Mother hastily read it and handed it to Wei Qian, who studied it carefully and silently wrote down the etiquette process in the palace. This kind of thing has reference significance for Southern Qin.

"It's a decent etiquette. However, yesterday I discussed with His Majesty that Wu Guifei Hui Mei Shude sponsored internal affairs. When buried with half of the queen's honor guard, buried in the emperor's mausoleum. ”

The Ministry of Rites still calculated: "It is also in line with the etiquette system, and it is buried on the same day as the queen's mother, and it is also possible to borrow half of the queen's honor guard." ”

Next, the details were negotiated.

Wei Qian learned a lot from Liu Shilian, and her style of action is quite similar to that of the previous dynasty. Zhu Zhiming's discomfort at the beginning dissipated by three points.

"I thought I would have to discuss it with the Queen Mother and Concubine De for a long time, but I didn't expect this Concubine De to be a happy person." In the past, the bad impression of Wei Qian's abuse of power in Jinling slowly changed.

Wei Qian's actions were crisp and neat, which made him have a lot less tongue.

It didn't take long for the two to make arrangements.

"But this nickname is still up to the Queen Mother to choose." Zhu Zhiming presented some of the names discussed by the Ministry of Rites.

The nickname symbolizes what a person has done in life. Wei Qian, as a palace concubine, is inconvenient to discuss, and only the queen mother can call the shots.

The Queen Mother read the nicknames given to the two. First, Wu Guifei pointed to one of the "Yi" words: "Jiayi's words and deeds, I will use this word for Concubine Wu." Empress Dowager Chen remembered Wu Guifei's work as an assistant to the court these days, and had the heart to give her a good name.

Zhu Zhiming thought about it and looked at Wei Qian. Wei Qian nodded slightly, and Zhu Zhiming said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Then came the Queen.

"As for the queen......" The queen mother read those words, and most of the nicknames on the Ministry of Rites were words of good virtue. What "Mu", "Xian", "Ren", "Zhuang" and the like.

But everyone knows about the harem, Empress Dowager Chen has hated Queen Wang for many years, and dislikes her for dragging her son back all day long, where is she willing to give her these words?

The Queen Mother was quite dissatisfied: "The queen has no merit and no virtue, and her qualifications are mediocre, where can these good words be used?" Fight back and start over. ”

The Ministry of Rites' heart sank, and when he saw the attitude of the Queen Mother, he knew that the Queen Mother didn't like the Queen. But how can the emperor explain the queen mother's attitude?

"His Majesty respects filial piety, and the meaning of the Queen Mother is the meaning of the queen. After Lord Zhu went back, he also chose a few words of peace. ”

"Plain?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Use the evil name!" ”

"It's not going to be done." Zhu Zhiming and Wei Qian blocked in unison.

The two looked at each other, and Zhu Zhiming said: "The queen has no merit, but she is also not guilty, and she must not be evil." ”

"Who said that? The queen is in charge of the six palaces, and secretly uses private means against the palace concubines, which is a big mistake. Empress Dowager Chen's face pulled and refused to let go. I'd rather dig out the sins of the past than give her a redress.

"Niangniang, think about the prince, you can't just give this evil slander."

"Yes, give the queen a bad name, how will the prince deal with himself in the future?" Zhu Zhiming said righteously: "This matter must be discussed with His Majesty." ”

"Presumptuous! This palace is the biological mother of His Majesty, what is there that this palace can't determine? Empress Dowager Chen was furious, and Wei Qian stopped her.

"Solemnly abide by words and deeds. Why don't you just use the word Su? Wei Qian said quickly: "First, it can be regarded as a fair and objective evaluation." Second, it can also wake up the queen mother, and walk in the underworld and be cautious. ”

Seeing the Queen Mother talking to Wei Qian, Zhu Zhiming vaguely felt that something was wrong. What mistake did the queen make to get this kind of evaluation?

Su Zheng is not bad, and he is not bad for the previous dynasty. But in the harem, a palace maid uses this word, where is a good word? It is said to be a plain story, but in fact, there is a certain irony.

"Okay, just use this word to let the queen be cautious in her words and deeds in the underworld, so as not to offend the ancestors!"

Zhu Zhiming sent the situation of the harem discussion to Situ Yun, who glanced at it and nodded: "But, according to what Concubine Ning said." ”

A few days later, the Ministry of Rites began to bury according to the funeral rites.

The two were buried before and after, and they were all around the emperor's tomb. It also makes future generations think about it.

As for the queen's position, Situ Yun sent back a lot of words about the queen, and he is not ready to establish the queen at present. Only let Wei Qian and the Queen Mother be in charge of all matters in the harem.

Netherworld Ghost Country, Emperor Gaozu sighed. "It's a pity."

"If Wei Qian is the queen, it will be easier for me to seize her luck in the future." But now, it's obviously worse. The palace concubine is not a queen after all, and she has little to do with the Situ family.

"Your Majesty, Empress Xiaosu and Emperor Yi have arrived."

"You don't need to see me, just take them down." For Xiaosu, the granddaughter-in-law, Emperor Gaozu was a little disliked. is too childish, and his behavior and doing things are not enough to be natural, and he was killed by several concubines, and it is a shame to say it.

But after all, she is the mother of the prince, Situ Yun's original match, and still gives her some face. After blessing the dragon qi, let your queen Yuan go to greet her.

Emperor Yi's concubine also did not meet, and asked Empress Yuan to receive him.
