Ma Dajia's expression changed greatly when he heard this, and he shouted and asked, "Who are you listening to this?" ”

This matter has long been gag in the palace, and Zhu Yunwen, who never thought that he was the person concerned, also knew about it.

Zhu Yunwen had never seen his grandmother speak so violently, and he was a little scared in his heart, and said squeakingly: "It was my mother who told my grandson in the past, could it be that my mother said it wrong?" ”

Ma Dajia sighed and said, "Sure enough, it was a slap that didn't make a sound." She reached out and touched Zhu Yunwen's head and said solemnly: "You should have never heard this before, and don't mention it to anyone again, otherwise you will be killed in the future." ”

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but shrink his neck, "Grandson, grandson knows, and I promise not to mention it to anyone again." ”

Ma Dajia took him in his arms again, rubbed Zhu Yunwen's little face, and muttered to himself: "It's good to know, he is the dragon and phoenix among people, you can't compete with him." ”

There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and the little pillar walked quickly to Ma Dajia's side, and said softly: "Niangniang, Concubine Li Xian is gone." ”

"Oh, Concubine Xian? When will it happen? ”

"It's just now, the emperor has government affairs in charge, and he asked the mother to organize the funeral for the virtuous concubine."

"Half a month ago, Bengong went to see her and she could still get out of bed and walk, and she said that she would leave, what kind of person is this...... Alas......"

Ma Dajia shook his head and let out a long sigh, as if he had infinite sadness.

"Concubine Xian Niangniang lingers on the sickbed all the year round, if it weren't for the fact that Niangniang has been instructing the hospital to renew her life at any cost, I'm afraid she would have gone a long time ago, Niangniang shouldn't be sad, and you have to work hard to handle the funeral."

"It's not troublesome, the palace made preparations a year ago, and you let people inform the various departments and bureaus, and let them send all the things that should be used for the funeral."

The little pillar answered, and bowed back.

Ma Dajia returned to the main hall, changed into a slightly plain dress under the service of the palace maid, and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Grandmother is going to the virtuous concubine to handle the funeral, you are good to study and write here, and if you want to eat anything at noon, you will order the small kitchen to cook it for you." In the afternoon, someone may ask you to go to the spirit of the virtuous concubine to mourn, so you can go with the princes. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "My grandson knows, and my grandmother just goes." ”

Ma Dajia went out of the side hall, and the little pillar had already brought the bicycle over, dusted the dust on the seat with his sleeve, and handed it to Ma Dajia's hand.

Ma Dajia took the car and rode to the seat as soon as he turned his body, and as soon as he stepped on the car, he slid out. She didn't ride fast, just enough for the little pillar to keep up quickly, and the bicycle squeaked through the corridor and slowly drove towards Concubine Li Xian's bedroom.

Concubine Li Xian is the woman accepted by Lao Zhu after the capture of Taiping, and she is considered a woman who came to the dragon bed earlier, and Lao Zhu gave her the title of Concubine Xian after she ascended the throne. It's just that this woman's health has never been good, she failed to give Lao Zhu a son and a half daughter, and her temperament is also a little withdrawn, she doesn't like to interact with people, and she doesn't like Lao Zhu.

The various departments and bureaus in the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs are all high and low. There are many poor women in the palace, and this Concubine Li Xian is also lucky, thanks to the virtuous queen Arima Dajiao, I am afraid that she will die of illness if she takes good care of her.

The Tai Hospital had already told Ma Dajia that Concubine Li Xian's life would not last long, so Ma Dajia had already prepared a coffin for her longevity clothes, so it was not difficult to handle the funeral.

But after a busy life, it was already past noon, and Concubine Li Xian's body had been placed in the coffin behind the mourning hall, and the coffin could be sealed just after Lao Zhu saw the remains.

Looking at the crying concubines, Ma Dajia felt a pang of distress in his heart, "Thank you sisters for coming to help, things are going so smoothly." In a short time, His Majesty and the princes will also come, so the sisters will go back first, and then come to see off Concubine Xian when the funeral comes. ”

The imperial tomb has not yet been repaired, but the concubines of the Ming Dynasty are not buried with the emperor and queen, and are generally buried in the mountain tombs near the emperor's tomb, and the specifications are better than ordinary large households.

Seeing that all the concubines were gone, Ma Dajia sat on the chair and let out a long breath, Xu is old, and he always feels stuffy in his chest, especially when it is cold.

Xiao Zhuzi handed over a bowl of hot tea and a plate of snacks, "Niangniang has been busy for a long time, and the water and rice haven't hit her teeth yet, so let's eat something to pad my stomach first." ”

Ma Dajia took the tea and took a piece of dim sum casually, "You can eat the rest." ”

A piece of snacks and a bowl of hot tea made Ma Dajia feel more comfortable, leaning back on the chair to rest for a while, and then heard movement outside

Ma Dajia got up from the chair and went out of the room, only to see Lao Zhu's face flushed, standing in front of the mourning hall dressed in black, taking the three sticks of incense handed by Yuan Sheng and inserting them into the incense burner.

Lao Zhu raised his eyes and saw Ma Dajia, "The queen of hard work!" ”

"The concubine is the master of the harem, this is what the concubine should do, it is not hard." Smelling Lao Zhu's strong smell of alcohol, Ma Dajia couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty drank at noon?" ”

"Concubine Xian went, I was not happy, so I drank a little."

"Siren has passed away, Your Majesty is the world, and you should take care of your body during the festival!"

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "I know, the queen will take me to see Concubine Xian for the last time." ”

The two entered the house together, and Lao Zhu held the coffin and looked at it for a while before saying, "Concubine Xian's funeral is a little less." ”

"Is it missing?" Ma Dajia was a little puzzled, a few years ago, the funeral in the coffin of Sun Guifei died was only two more than that of Concubine Xian, "If Your Majesty thinks that it is less, there are still two jade ruyi in the safe of the concubine's body, so let's count them together." ”

Safe is a new product of the Ma family two years ago, there are many rich people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ma Du originally thought that it would be a big sale, who knows that the sales are very poor, the wealthy still like to repair the secret room, the flat head people prefer to put the copper money into the clay pot and bury it in the pigsty, Ma Du had to give it away, and Ma Dajia also got one.

Lao Zhu nodded, "Okay, do what the queen says." ”

"Little pillar, you go and put the ...... inside the safe in the main palace That's it, you won't open it, let's go to this palace again. ”

"I'm tired of the Queen!" Lao Zhu thanked him and sat on the chair, rubbing his temples and taking a nap, as if he was not lightly drunk.

Ma Dajia instructed Yuansheng to get some sobering soup for Lao Zhu, and then went out of the house and rode a bicycle to the Middle Palace.

Not long after, a palace maid brought the sobering soup to Lao Zhu, Yuan Sheng took it in his hand and handed it to Lao Zhu, and called softly: "Your Majesty drink the sobering soup first and then go to sleep, otherwise you will have a headache when you wake up." ”

Lao Zhu, who was leaning on the back of the chair, said softly: "You feed me." ”

The corners of Yuansheng's mouth smiled slightly, and he scooped the decanting soup with a spoon and fed it into Lao Zhu's mouth, Lao Zhu's eyes didn't open, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down just to swallow.

Seeing that half a bowl of sobering soup was in his stomach, Lao Zhu suddenly asked, "Who is crying outside?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it was the crown prince who took the prince and grandson to mourn in front of the spirit."

When Lao Zhu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he stood up, and his head and feet staggered a little, Yuan Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and handed the decanting soup in his hand to the palace maid, "What does Your Majesty want to do, tell the slave maid." ”

"I want to see the prince salute!" Lao Zhu slowly walked out of the house, only to see Zhu Biao in front of the spirit of the spirit of the head of the prince and grandson to salute the spirit of the virtuous concubine.

It's just that everyone else is kneeling and Zhu Biao is just making a gesture, after all, he is the status of the prince, and the other party is just a concubine who is not favored, Zhu Biao can personally go to the spirit to mourn is already benevolent, giving his father enough face.

Lao Zhu suddenly shouted angrily: "As a prince, the prince should be an example for all princes, why do you only bow but don't bow down!" ”

Lao Zhu suddenly interrupted the ongoing ceremony with an angry shout, and all the princes and grandsons raised their heads and looked at Lao Zhu in confusion.

Zhu Biao was also full of confusion, "The son is the prince, and the queen mother is still alive, and it is already the best etiquette to mourn in front of the virtuous concubine." ”

"I let you kneel, you kneel, where did you come from so much nonsense!"

Seeing that the old Zhu Man was unreasonable, Zhu Biao persuaded him with good words, "My father is drunk, Yuansheng will help my father to rest." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

As soon as Yuan Sheng's words came out, he was pushed aside by Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu staggered to Zhu Biao and shouted: "Do you kneel or not!" ”

Lao Zhu is so nonsense, and Zhu Biao, who has always been obedient to Lao Zhu, also has a stubborn temper, and said word by word: "If you don't get along with the law of etiquette and righteousness, your sons don't kneel!" ”

"Rebel!" Lao Zhu was furious and raised his hand and slapped it out!

Syllable!

This slap seemed to be thrown on Ma Dajiao's face, she staggered back a few steps from the palace gate, and the little pillar hurriedly held on, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Oops, the prince fell...... Empress! ”

Ma Dazu suddenly threw off the small pillar and stepped on the bicycle to ride back, the speed has never been faster, the small pillar spread his feet to catch up, he panted and said: "Niangniang, you ride slower and don't fall!" ”

Ma Dajia turned a deaf ear, with a blank and panicked face, she suddenly pinched the handlebar, her eyes widened as if she thought of something, and muttered in her mouth: "Taiping, Taiping......"

Suddenly, I felt my heart tremble, and the pain was like a knife......
