Although the lingering illness of the middle palace has not been a year or two, it has fallen into a state of constant coma since the beginning of summer this year. During this period of time, it has actually reached the point where the oil has run out. Both the emperor and everyone in the palace knew that that day would be sooner or later. According to the custom, the queen Daxing used Nanmu coffins, which had been completed and placed somewhere in the palace.

But when this day really came, it was still difficult for the emperor to accept. After all, it is a couple in distress for more than 20 years, no matter whether the emperor has real feelings for the queen or not, but the relationship between husband and wife for so many years is still there. What's more, when he was a prince, because he was not treated well by Emperor Sejong and the crown prince, none of the Manchu courtiers were willing to marry their daughters to him.

Not only people with high official positions, but they are trying their best to push off this family business. Even those low-level officials would rather marry their daughters hastily than marry their daughters to the emperor of the year. Of course, Huang Qiong's imperial grandfather didn't care too much about the marriage of this son he had forgotten.

In the end, in Zongzheng Temple, the old county prince who really had some pity for the emperor back then, and Huang Qiong, the girlfriend of the emperor's grandmother, made repeated efforts and persistence. casually among the officials who had daughters, he pointed out a family matter to Huang Qiong's emperor Laozi.

His father-in-law, who had a low official position, did not dare to disobey the holy decree, although he was also full of reluctance. can only marry him without a dowry, without any things and etiquette that a prince should have when marrying a wife, and even in the case that only the time of marriage is stipulated in the holy decree, the ** in the boudoir is still married to him.

Although they got married in a hurry, they did not have all the treatment that a prince's wedding should have, but they were carried into the palace of the prince by a small sedan chair. But the queen did not have any dissatisfaction, but was diligent and thrifty, husband and children, and survived the most difficult years with the emperor.

Although it can't be said that Qin Se and Ming, they can definitely be regarded as a couple in distress. Even in the most difficult years of the emperor's difficult years, although he was a prince, he was always the support of the emperor's difficult life. Especially after Huang Qiong's imperial grandmother, who barely supported the emperor shortly after leaving the palace and leaving the palace, died, this queen almost became the only pillar of the emperor.

At present, the queen is in a big business, and the emperor is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable person. Under the repeated calls of Huang Qiong and Gao Wuyong beside him, the emperor, who had just woken up from his grief, did not push away Huang Qiong's hand to support him this time. Under the leadership of the funeral eunuch, he hurried towards the queen's bedroom.

When the emperor came to the queen's dormitory with the support of Huang Qiong and Gao Wuyong, there was already crying inside and outside the dormitory. This queen of two abandonments, although her appearance is just ordinary. But his temperament is still gentle, and he is never harsh to the people in the palace and other concubines.

Although it can't be said that he respects everyone like a guest, he is also a kind person, so he is still very popular in the harem. At least it is far more loved by the people in the palace than the concubine who temporarily took charge of the harem affairs in place of her because she was seriously ill. Now that this queen is in a big business, whether it is true or false, no one in the palace is crying bitterly.

Of course, among these weeping people, there are also many hypocrisy. is like the concubine who is holding the queen's funeral. Although it looked very sad, Huang Qiong, who arrived later, saw a trace of excitement in the corner of her eyes that the queen's position was in sight.

At present, the emperor's two queens, one of whom is now in the west. The other has long been deposed, and he is listening to Xue Xuan and does not ask about the world. Even though the wall that closed Tingxue Xuan has been removed, it never takes half a step out of Tingxue Xuan. At present, the entire harem is high in her, and the queen, it can be said that the entire harem is headed by her.

He has strong foreign support, and his protégés are all over the government and the opposition, and he doesn't even need to speak, as long as he is alive, he is enough to affect the court situation. The conditions can be described as not ordinary. With the support of such a favorable background, who else can she have if the next queen is not her?

Obviously feeling the ambition in the heart of this concubine, Huang Qiong couldn't help but sneer in her heart. This Concubine De really thought that the queen was a big deal, and she had the support of a powerful foreign family, and it would be her turn to be the next queen, and this idea was too naïve.

Huang Qiong can conclude that after the queen's big trip, if the emperor wants to re-establish the queen. It is possible for anyone to be established, but this Concubine De is the most hopeless. And what became the biggest obstacle for her to become the new queen was the proud family background of this concubine.

I don't know if it was affected by my grandfather's affairs, but I, the emperor Laozi, may interfere with foreign relatives, and I am extremely strict in guarding against it. This point, from the fact that the emperor found those in-laws for his son, it is enough to see the emperor's thoughts. Except for the King of Shu, almost all the sons married concubines from noble families or noble families of the dynasty.

But only the crown princess and the princess of Shu are two special exceptions. The crown princess back then, although she could not be said to be from an ordinary family, but in terms of family background, her father was just a petty official from the sixth grade. After marrying his daughter to the crown prince and becoming the crown princess of the current dynasty, and even the future queen, she was only given an empty official position of the second grade, and she was not even given a title.

The concubine of the king of Shu has a similar life experience. Even if they were a couple in distress with the queen of Daxing, but after they were in power, the queen's foreign family only gave an empty title, and they didn't even give any real power. The emperor's meaning is very clear, as a family member of the empress of the current dynasty, it is okay to enjoy glory and wealth, but it is impossible to grasp real power.

From these two points, it can be seen that the emperor's vigilance against foreign relatives and harem politics is not ordinarily high. What's more, this Concubine De not only has a strong family background, but also has a strong personality. Even if her own son King Song ascends the throne, I am afraid that this concubine will never give up and interfere in the ambition of the government.

Whether it's because of his own personality or because of his family background. With the emperor's usual psychology of guarding against certain aspects, this concubine has no possibility of ascending to the queen's throne at all. Even her only son, King Song, has no hope of inheriting the throne unless the emperor's sons are dead.

As for why the emperor has this mentality, it is because his mother has had too much influence on him back then, so that he is still a rat taboo. Or because he has read too many history books, and the tragic disasters brought about by the interference of his relatives in the past dynasties made him hate his relatives or the harem from the bottom of his heart, and Huang Qiong does not know.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Qiong dares to assert that this concubine, who is full of ambition at the moment, has almost no possibility of becoming a queen. Moreover, Huang Qiong thinks that after this queen's big business, she is now firmly in power, and she no longer needs the emperor to stabilize the political situation back then, and she may not be able to re-ornate a queen.

It's just that although Huang Qiong has already understood that this Concubine De has already been destined for an empty happy ending, she has not shown half a point on her face. Seeing through and not explaining it is the practice of a truly smart person. As for now, let's let this concubine be complacent for a while.

And the emperor and Huang Qiong and his entourage, in addition to this full of intentions, other concubines, princes, and princesses who came over one after another. and when the prince looked at Huang Qiong, he looked at him with seven points of resentment and three points of jealousy. Huang Qiong, who has never bought the queen's bedroom, has never even seen the queen's face.

Now he came in with the emperor, and he knew with his toes that his ninth brother would definitely stay with the emperor at least before he came here. And he, as the crown prince, has not been summoned by the emperor alone for several years? This makes this narrow-minded prince, how can he not be jealous?

Feeling the prince's murderous gaze, Huang Qiong just greeted lightly, and then stopped caring about his eldest brother and the prince. The emperor's teachings just now are still in his ears, and he can't afford to fight with this narrow-minded prince at this time and on this occasion.

As for his own assassination, he already felt that this matter was not as simple as Huang Qiong on the surface, and there was no need to put on a posture of being an enemy when he met with this prince. Of course, Huang Qiong didn't know at the moment that the prince had really given him a killing order. It's just that in the end, before he could do it, someone took action for him.

If Huang Qiong could still remain as calm as she is now, it would be really two words. However, he has just been taught by the emperor, at least he will not cause trouble with the prince at this time. Huang Qiong knows better that at the moment, at least in a short period of time, this prince will not have too much energy to come to trouble him.

Now that the middle palace of the husband and wife who had suffered has died, the saddest person is of course the emperor. And this prince, this mood will not be so good there. The mother's funeral is only one aspect, and the death of the middle palace also made the prince lose one of the most favorable supports.

Huang Qiong knew very well that the passing of the middle palace now made the already somewhat weird court situation only become more weird. And this battle for the prince is about to start a more brutal scene. Some people who were still a little taboo in the past may not have any scruples now.

The crown prince, who previously had the support of the middle palace and a number of hardcore supporters in the court, was still at a disadvantage in the battles with several younger brothers of his mother's compatriots. Now that the middle palace is gone, the central abdomen has been cleaned again, and the prince, who has lost almost all his help, is probably already too busy to take care of himself.

Regarding the hostile gaze cast by the prince, Huang Qiong, who had already been familiar with it for a long time, naturally didn't care too much. But in this dormitory, in addition to the prince's gaze that was about to eat himself, Huang Qiong always felt that another gaze like a poisonous snake was always peeping at her.

The prince's hostile gaze, Huang Qiong didn't care too much. But this gaze that was hidden in the dark and floated over from time to time made Huang Qiong a little unsettled. After secretly searching for this person peeping at her several times to no avail, Huang Qiong could only scratch her head helplessly, thinking that she was suspicious.

At this time, the room was full of officials and eunuchs who rushed in. Under the command of the officials of the Ministry of Rites who received the emperor's holy decree, they were busy arranging the mourning hall and funeral rites. The queen's big trip, no matter in any dynasty, this is a big deal. How dare those officials of the Ministry of Rites and the stewards and eunuchs in the palace slack off?

At this time, the crown prince, as well as the king of Shu, who had always relied on the refusal to leave after returning from the self-sealing land under the pretext of serving his mother's illness, was crying and crying, looking benevolent and filial. The other princes and princesses who rushed over, even if they didn't have any feelings for this Empress Daxing, were trying to at least put on a posture of being extremely sad for the death of this mother-in-law at this time.
