Chapter 501: Jade Cicada
Cui Guifei looked at Fu Minghua's expression was wrong, her face turned pale, remembering that she had been in the palace for some time, I was afraid that there had been no moment of peace for a while, and she couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, and was about to speak, when she saw Fu Minghua take out a purse from her cuff, put it on the end of her nose and smell it, so that she was more energetic.

"Yuan Niang." Cui Guifei called her with some concern and shook Fu Minghua's hand. Her palms were sweaty, cold and slippery, and she could feel her body tense and suppress the slight trembling when she was close.
"You find a place to sit for a while."
Cui Guifei made up her mind, turned her head, and was about to instruct Jinggu, but Fu Minghua held her backhand, took the purse in her palm and put it on the end of her nose, closed her eyes and endured it for a while:
"Don't worry, the purse is filled with ginger, Mama Xue entered the palace with me, and I will ask her to ...... for me later."
Before he finished speaking, the voice of the chamberlain came from singing:
"The eldest princess meets ......"
The two people who were talking turned around together, and saw that the eldest princess, who had changed into mourning clothes, was trembling up to the white jade pier in front of the palace with the support of the Duchess of Dingguo, Peng, and saw that she was about to go to the palace.
Before the people arrived, the cry came.
The eldest princess's face was full of sorrow, and when the servants in the Zilan Hall saw this scene, they hurriedly went to support her.
"Why so suddenly? It was fine the other day. ”
The eldest princess went up the steps, took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, as if she would faint at any moment.
"After hearing the news, my mother couldn't believe it at first."
Peng was on the side, and smiled apologetically at Cui Guifei and Fu Minghua: "I helped the elders, and I can't complete the etiquette for a while, and I hope that the concubine and the princess will forgive me." ”
"What did the Duchess of Dingguo say?"
Cui Guifei smiled slightly and sighed: "The emperor has something to explain for the time being, and I will come later, the queen mother is now above the main hall, you go in and take a look at her old man." ”
The court and China want to suspend the court for five days, but the affairs that should be handled by Emperor Jia still have to be handled by him.
There were still some official duties to be taken care of, and he had to deal with them first, and he could only come after changing his clothes.
When the eldest princess entered the palace, she listened to the voice of grief from time to time, and cried very loudly.
"Count the time, I'm afraid it will be half a month before I will be buried, and I will have to wait for King Qi to return to Luoyang." Cui Guifei listened to the grief and cries of the eldest princess in the hall, and also heard the voices of the attendants who were about to lift the queen mother, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, turned her head to look at the hall, and seemed to be smiling:
"Yuan Niang, look, how much sadness does the eldest princess have in her heart?"
She leaned over and happened to see the Peng family supporting the eldest princess, and both of them were in tears.
When Fu Minghua heard this, he sighed.
The eldest princess cried for a long time, and the attendant had already lifted the queen mother to prepare to go to the Wensi Palace, where the harem concubines could not go, only through a palace wall, guarding the spirit near the Wensi Academy.
The ministers of the DPRK and China came one after another, and the sound was already heard outside, and the people in the inner palace changed into plain clothes, and Fu Minghua saw that Concubine Guo, who had not seen her for a long time, also came.
She is still young, she should be younger than Cui Guifei, but unfortunately she has not given birth, and she is not favored in this palace, she looks dull, as if she is an old man who is about to die, and her temples and hair are gray.
The palace is fleeting, but this is just the bitter fruit she planted herself.
After standing for a while, the purse bag in her hand was moistened by the sweat in Fu Minghua's palm, and there were gradually more people around, and the smell of rouge and gouache made her nauseous and wanted to vomit.
She made an excuse and retreated away from the crowd.
A few apricot trees were planted in the corner of the east wing of the Zilan Palace, which had grown very big. At this time, it is the time when the apricot blossoms are gone, and the treetops are full of green apricots.
It's just that most of the branches and buds are blocked by the carved panes, and they are not very real.
There are very few people here, almost all the people in the Zilan Hall have already leaned towards the side of the guard, and there are not even the palace people who are sprinkling and sweeping, Biyun saw that Fu Minghua, who was sitting on the wooden chair, looked much better, and squatted down and took out another bag:
"You smell this."
She took out the ginger bag that had been soaked in Fu Minghua's palm, and stuffed the purse with orange peel into her hand.
Different from the spicy taste of ginger, Fu Minghua put the bag with orange peel on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and soon felt much better, and even the urge to gag gradually suppressed.
It's just that as soon as she moved, something bumped into her cuffs, Fu Minghua was stunned, and reached out and handed her the former Wen Xin in the cuffs, saying that it was something given by the Queen Mother.
Biyun glanced at it, and guessed that it was probably given to her by Wen Xin when she was dismissed before.
"It's ......"
"This is the thought left to me by the Queen Mother." Fu Minghua reached out and stroked the white magnolia flowers embroidered on the brocade bag, and gently pursed the corners of his mouth.
The thing is still there, but it's a pity that the people have passed away.
She untied the rope from the bag, and there was a small box carved from rosewood.
The top is fastened with a silver buckle and there is no lock.
Fu Minghua pulled the silver buckle open, and a piece of white and warm jade cicada was placed in the box.
"This is the ...... before"
Biyun's face changed in shock, he looked left and right, and was busy reaching out to cover the box, so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "This is clearly the jade cicada that the emperor put in the queen mother's mouth before." ”
At that time, Emperor Jia'an hurriedly came to see the Queen Mother, and when he sat beside the Queen Mother, he personally took out a jade cicada from the purse on his waist.
Biyun was also in the Zilan Hall at that time, and he saw it clearly.
Such a jade is rare in the world, there is no impurity in the jade, and it is as delicate as mutton fat, so it will be finally taken out by Emperor Jia'an, put into the mouth of the queen mother, and enter the tomb with her in the future.
This priceless jade cicada, Biyun will not be able to look away.
"Why are you here?"
Although there was no one around, Biyun was still scared into a cold sweat.
In just a moment, Biyun thought that if someone found that the jade cicada in the queen mother's mouth was missing, the palace would definitely search it vigorously, and if someone learned that the jade was in Fu Minghua's hands, he was afraid that he would not be able to wash it away even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
Thinking of the consequences, Biyun's body trembled.
"Don't panic."
Fu Minghua glanced at her, pinched the jade cicada, and put it in his palm.
The jade is heavy, and it is indeed exactly the same as the jade that Emperor Jia'an personally washed and put into the queen mother's mouth before.
She raised her hand and looked carefully, but this action caused Biyun to be very nervous, looking left and right.
"Don't worry." Fu Minghua smiled slightly, saw her pale face, shook his hand, and wrapped the jade in it.
The consequences that Biyun could imagine, Fu Minghua naturally wanted to get it, but she didn't think that Wen Xin had calculated herself. (To be continued.) )
