Chapter 345: Disrespect
The queen mother can rest assured that the concubine will definitely not let her dirty your hands, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, but I am afraid that it will not be in a hurry. β
Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly gave a big gift, and then she opened her mouth to express her determination, looking very loyal, and finally satisfied the Queen Mother.
Coming out of Ciren Palace, Ye Zhenzhen only felt dizzy, and the sense of rebirth of the catastrophe has been lingering.
"Miss doesn't have much energy, why bother to promise the Queen Mother to deal with Concubine Jing, it's important to recuperate now."
Zhilan supported Ye Zhenzhen with all her might, her face was sad, and she asked Ye Zhenzhen with some incomprehension.
"What the Queen Mother said is reasonable, the emperor is a smart person, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, and naturally she is also a person who understands it very clearly, you can't let Concubine Jing become bigger, I am afraid that she will be a strong opponent in the future."
Ye Zhenzhen finally stood firm, and then leaned slightly against the red wall and worried, and patiently explained to Zhilan on the other side.
"Sister-in-law Jin An, why is sister-in-law standing here alone?"
Just when Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were empty and thinking of a way, a small figure broke in, and then asked in that sweet voice.
Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly came back to her senses, only to find that the eleventh prince was bowing to her.
"Oh, it's the eleventh brother, the concubine is polite, she just came out of the Queen Mother's Ciren Palace, and she happened to feel that the palace was picturesque, so she stood here and took a look."
Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly put on a light smile, and in front of the minions, she politely saluted Nangong Qing, and slightly bypassed the situation just now, and brought it over with an understatement.
"Sister-in-law, listen to my fifth brother, sister-in-law is going to preside over the death of the queen's mother, she must be tired for a while, the master in the study said a few days ago that there is a classic book left by Queen Xiaoyi in the imperial academy, Aqing will take you to see it."
Nangong Qing was young, and she didn't doubt what Ye Zhenzhen said, seeing that her face was fine, she said with bright eyes, and her tone was full of joy.
Ye Zhenzhen and Nangong Qing hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they saw him again, they only felt that he was much more lively, so they also liked him a lot, so they let Nangong Qing lead the way, and went to the study where the princes were studying.
The sun was shining along the way, and the minions were afraid that they would suffer from heat stroke, so they hurriedly gave Nangong Qing an umbrella, and Zhilan also cautiously followed behind Ye Zhenzhen, but the two of them didn't notice anything, and they talked about practicing arrows from fighting grasshoppers, and they didn't feel hot at all.
"Why don't you go and get it for Hongu? Come on, drag this minion down and hit the thirty boards! β
The two of them were talking and laughing all the way, and suddenly they heard a sharp voice coming from one place, and both of them stopped with a confused face, and then looked for the sound.
It turned out that the front was the Feather Cloak Division, which was the public office responsible for all the clothes in the palace, and when I looked inside, I happened to see a few eunuchs dragging a person down, and that person was dressed differently from ordinary eunuchs, and it should also be an identity like a chief steward.
"Don't go yet! Who else wants to be like him? Queen Xiaoyi is gone, what are you doing so desperately? Seeing clearly, who are the people you want to stammer with and who you can't offend right now? β
Concubine Jing's voice remembered again, and I saw her standing in front of the kneeling servant, and said proudly in the sun, one of which also involved Queen Xiaoyi.
Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly pulled Nangong Qing to hide at the door, trying not to be noticed as much as possible, and then pricked up her ears and listened.
"Yes, the slave is going to send someone, Concubine Jing is angry."
Just now, a deputy chief was dragged away, and the rest of the minions were frightened, no one dared to commit a taboo at this time, and hurriedly complimented them.
"That's right, Queen Xiaoyi's death is just a show, how can it be worthy of a piece of clothing in the palace, and the palace will be a concubine in another month, and you will be busy at that time."
Seeing that everyone else was afraid of herself, Concubine Jing was even more proud at the moment, so she said without restraint, these words quietly fell into Ye Zhenzhen's ears, Nangong Qing, who was watching from the side, couldn't help staring at her look, and after waiting for a long time, Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses and left without looking back.
"What's wrong with the eldest sister-in-law? But do you think what Jing Niangniang said is not good? Don't take the imperial sister-in-law to heart, Aqing knows that Empress Xiaoyi is a good person, and her father often talks to his sons about the benefits of Empress Xiaoyi. β
Nangong Qing walked with Ye Zhenzhen all the way, and seeing her restless appearance, she opened her mouth to comfort her, and did not forget to praise Queen Xiaoyi.
"That's it, Empress Xiaoyi has been dead for many years, I'm afraid that only the emperor will be so affectionate and unforgettable, and everyone in the palace is afraid that they all despise Empress Xiaoyi very much."
Ye Zhenzhen sighed, and then sighed, if it is really a person who goes to tea and cools, things are wrong, I am afraid that it is a person today, and no one can understand the mind of Emperor Daqing.
"In the palace, only Sister Xiangyu and Jing Niangniang are a little too much, and no one on the side dares to say anything bad about Queen Xiaoyi."
Hearing Ye Zhenzhen sigh like this, Nangong Qing didn't know her sad state of mind, and unintentionally revealed it.
Ye Zhenzhen seemed to be clicked through at the moment, and she was stunned in place and didn't know what to do, which also startled Nangong Qing.
"Thank you, Brother Eleventh, I didn't expect you to be so smart, hurry back to the palace, I'll go to the Imperial Academy by myself."
Ye Zhenzhen had a flash of inspiration at this moment, and the brows that were still tight just now relaxed in an instant, only to see her bend down and touch Nangong Qing's head, and then she spoke.
"It's okay, my brother sends the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial sister-in-law must be careful, don't hurt the child in the womb."
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen suddenly smiling, although Nangong Qing didn't understand it, she was still sincerely happy for her, so she bowed and watched Ye Zhenzhen leave with her own eyes.
The subordinate division was busy for a whole week, and seeing that Ye Zhenzhen couldn't take care of herself at the current ceremony, she went smoothly and steadily to the ceremony.
On the death day, Ye Zhenzhen was wearing a dark blue inner life woman's blessing, with a complicated hairstyle on her head, a tassel hairpin, and a white flower on her sideburns, which looked gentle and moving.
"The hour is up, the incenseβ"
The steward and eunuch of the internal division looked at the concubines and princesses kneeling in a row below, as well as many minions, and shouted quite solemnly.
Ye Zhenzhen pinched the thick three-pillar incense in her hand, and the smell of agarwood poured into her nasal cavity, she had to endure the pungent smell and quietly waited for the celebrants to read the eulogy.
After a burst of eulogy, the monks offered sacrifices one by one, and then the sound of prayers sounded in their ears without sleep.
Ye Zhenzhen and several masters in the palace invited the portrait of Empress Xiaoyi to come out, and carefully hung it in front of the Buddhist shrine, and then knelt for several hours.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one last procedure for this death, the concubine has prepared some sacrifices to Queen Xiaoyi and the holy relics that have been opened, so please sacrifice one by one."
Ye Zhenzhen waited until the princes and princesses were gone, then she smiled lightly, and looked at the concubines kneeling at the bottom with a shelf.
The first concubine and Concubine De both glanced at her angrily, although their faces were reluctant, they still pursed their lips helplessly, and made a show in front of the portraits of Ye Zhenzhen and Empress Xiaoyi.
After offering the things, the concubine and the pregnant concubine rushed to leave, and the concubine's body was really poor, and it was also carried back.
Concubine Xian continued to close her eyes and chant on the cushion, as if she was cut off from the things around her, and seeing that it was Concubine Jing's turn, Ye Zhenzhen presented a rather luxurious porcelain she had prepared.
"That's a good thing."
Concubine Jing glanced at the object in Ye Zhenzhen's hand, and then said with disdain, even looking at Ye Zhenzhen's face was full of disdain.
Ye Zhenzhen saw it in her eyes, but she didn't care at all, she lowered her head and just pretended that she didn't see anything.
"You see, on this good day, the emperor didn't come, since the emperor didn't come, why should Sister Xianfei be here to be courteous, I'm afraid that no matter how long I pray, I can't get the emperor to take a second look."
Concubine Jing has a concubine position, and the whole person is also a lot more presumptuous, and everyone worships her and holds her very well, so that she doesn't pay attention to anyone, and when she sees Concubine Xian's pious prayers, she can't help but mock her mouthfully, not caring that this is the death of Queen Xiaoyi.
"What did Niangniang say about this, Empress Xiaoyi is the only queen of the emperor, and Concubine Xian Niangniang should do her duty as a concubine in front of the queen."
Ye Zhenzhen finally couldn't help it, so she opened her mouth to defend Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian, who had already opened her eyes to refute, suddenly closed her eyes again after hearing Ye Zhenzhen's words.
"Yes, you are the daughter-in-law of Empress Xiaoyi, but we are not, what are you doing so much when people are dead? In the future, there will be other queens in this harem, and at that time, it will be too late for Sister Xian to fulfill her duties as a concubine. β
Concubine Jing wanted to provoke, but who knew that Concubine Xian didn't react, but Ye Zhenzhen jumped out, which made her arrogant mind unhappy all of a sudden, only to see that she didn't care about pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, not only did she not let go of Ye Zhenzhen, but even Concubine Xian didn't let go.
"What Sister Concubine Jing said is that no matter who becomes the queen in the future, the palace will also abide by the rules of being a concubine, and the queen of filial piety should be more pious in front of the spirit."
Seeing that the tense atmosphere suddenly rose sharply, Concubine Xian didn't want to make too much trouble, so she hurriedly played a round, but there was still a look of disgust and dissatisfaction on her face.
"Sister Xian Concubine will continue to chant here, sister, I have to go back to the council hall to serve the emperor, this death is really delayed, no one has served the emperor all day, I'm afraid that the emperor is to blame."
satirized Ye Zhenzhen and Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian couldn't say anything to refute it, Concubine Jing's mind was satisfied, and then she left with a satisfied and very arrogant look.
Jitang fell silent for a moment, and the surrounding air was still filled with gunsmoke just now, Ye Zhenzhen didn't say a word, and stood in place, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't open her mouth.
