264 Finale (1)
Qiu Xiyin's mood has stabilized a lot, and she doesn't argue with Qiu Zhengshen, if she really wants to pass on any news, she has Bai Feng, and she doesn't need to ask Qiu Zhengshen.
The emperor died, and according to the custom, hundreds of civil and military officials and women and nobles needed to enter the palace to cry for 9981 days before they could be buried, and then the ministers pleaded with the new emperor to ascend the throne.
In fact, a country is so vast and complicated that it is impossible for civil and military officials to do nothing for three months, just crying for the emperor, and it is even more impossible for the new emperor to wait for three months before ascending the throne, and generally speaking, the time will be compressed to 28 days.
On the twenty-eighth day, Xiaochengzong went to the emperor's mausoleum to be buried, and before dawn, a grandmother called Qiu Xiyin up, dressed up, and took him to the side door.
Qiu Zhengshen and Xie were already waiting at the side door, and when they saw her, Qiu Zhengshen said, "You will follow your mother today, don't walk around."
Qiu Xiyin snorted, and as Xie got into the carriage, Qiu Zhengshen rarely sat in the same carriage with Xie, but chose to ride a horse and go all the way to the palace.
……
……
At the same time, in Cining Palace, Qiu Meiren and several other palace concubines looked at Deng Wenya, who had a calm face, and shouted sharply, "Queen Mother! Dowager! The concubine must have taken the opportunity to kill the concubine, the concubine didn't want to go to the emperor's funeral, but she didn't dare to go! The Queen Mother, help! ”
Deng Wenya said lightly, "This is what I discussed with the queen, the emperor's heirs are thin, and he loves a few little princes and princesses very much, and a few little princes and princesses naturally went to the emperor's funeral."
The little prince and the little princess are young, and as their biological mothers, you naturally have to take care of them, otherwise there will be a mistake, and the queen and I can't afford that infamy."
Qiu Meiren screamed, "Look, Queen Mother, that's what she thinks!" She killed the emperor, and now she wants to wipe us out with a few princes and princesses! ”
Empress Dowager Wu was so noisy that she had a headache and shouted, "Shut up!" ”
Qiu Meiren didn't expect that her bitter master would be trained, so she choked and hiccuped again and again, with the tears on her face, her red eyes looked very pitiful, and the little prince who was held in her arms was finally tossed awake, and she cried.
Empress Dowager Wu felt sorry for her little grandson, and hurriedly motioned to her grandmother to hold the child to herself, scolded impatiently, glared at her fiercely, and said coldly, "Call the queen over."
Deng Wenya said, "The queen is too sad, she can't get out of bed at all, and the queen mother has the same thing to say to the concubine."
Empress Dowager Wu squinted, her still clear eyes were full of coldness, "The things that are in a hurry to be concubines really can't be put on the stage!" ”
Deng Wenya's face, which had been indifferent, was distorted suddenly, and the Empress Dowager Wu unceremoniously grabbed her lung tube and poked it, "The mourning family heard that Mrs. Qiu was born in the Xie family, and she was the most noble and arrogant, at that time, she stood out for you, and even dared to slap the granddaughter of the first assistant, and even forced her to withdraw from the relationship with the king of Ningjun, you grew up beside her since you were a child, why didn't you even learn half a point from her?" ”
Deng Wenya admires the Xie family the most, as soon as Xiao Chengzong dies, she is the stable Queen Mother of the West Palace, even if she wants to clear Ning Shenzhi, she can wait until Xiao Qi grows up and slowly plot, if it weren't for Ning Shenzhi to attack the Xie family, she would not have been so Ning Shenzhi at all.
When Ning Shenzhi was still the king of Ning County, who was in charge of the world, she didn't even have the courage to look up at him.
After he was imprisoned, she went to see him once, Ning Shenzhi, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes and chains on his feet, only glanced up at her faintly, and shattered all her self-confidence and courage, making her clearly realize that she couldn't win against him at all!
The reason why he obediently tied his hands was not because they kidnapped Qiu Xiyin, but because they were estimating and slowly weakening Qiu Xiyin's attachment to their relatives.
He wasn't sure who Qiu Xiyin would favor when he was facing Qiu Zhengshen, so he was obediently controlled by them and waited quietly for Qiu Xiyin to polish all his feelings for them.
Once they completely change from relatives to enemies in Qiu Xiyin's heart, that man will give them a fatal blow!
Even he won't give them a chance to hurt Qiu Xiyin!
When she realized this, she even had an urge to kill Qiu Xiyin immediately regardless of everything, to see if that man could still be so calm and calm, as if everything was in her hands.
And the reason why she and that terrible man are so hard to face is just her aunt who exists like a fairy in her heart.
But now, Empress Dowager Wu is ridiculing her for not being worthy of being her aunt's niece!
Deng Wenya lowered her head, unwilling to let others see her gaffe, "The queen mother has the courage to scold the concubine alone, and the concubine and the queen will never make the emperor look down under Jiuquan."
As soon as she finished speaking, the voice of the singing eunuch rang out, "The queen mother asks to see the queen mother!" ”
Deng Wenya turned around in amazement, and after a while, she saw Empress Li holding Xiao Qi's hand and walking in unhurriedly.
After a visit, Empress Li smiled at her, "My sister came early, but it made the palace embarrassed."
Deng Wenya's face was slightly pale, and she leaned over and saluted, "Niangniang's words are serious."
Empress Li greeted a few words and said, "It's not too early, let's go, don't delay the auspicious time for the emperor to ascend to heaven."
Qiu Meiren screamed, "Queen Mother, that poisonous woman wants to take all of us away, so that we can catch them all!" Mother, after she killed us eyesores, it will be your turn next! Such a poisonous woman will definitely not tolerate the second prince calling someone else's mother! ”
Empress Li's face sank, "Come on, give the palace a palm!" The concubine is also something you can criticize! ”
Since Empress Li came in, Deng Wenya's heart has dropped slightly, but fortunately, the queen did not turn back at this critical time.
"Bring all the little princes and princesses".
Empress Li looked at Deng Wenya in amazement, "The emperor's tomb is outside the capital, and it will take at least three days to go this time, all the little princes and princesses are under the age of one, and the children are hot, I am afraid that I will bump into something bad, so don't take it."
Deng Wenya's heart that had just fallen a little bit came up again, "What do you mean by this?" We said it before."
Empress Li's expression was even more shocked, "Okay?" What says good? There are many funeral rites, children can't hold it at all, it's useless to take it, and the emperor is very fond of several little princes and princesses, if we forcibly take them, the emperor's spirit in heaven will definitely condemn him."
Deng Wenya's face sank completely, and Empress Dowager Wu spoke at the right time, "You are fighting openly and secretly, the mourning family doesn't care, and the rest is fine, Xiao San'er has just reached the full moon, and the mourning family will never allow you to take him there."
Deng Wenya only wanted to bring the youngest third prince, and the two little princesses were just a disguise, where was the willingness, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Empress Li glanced at Deng Wenya up and down, and suddenly clapped her hands, and the old eunuch who was waiting behind her made a move like lightning, and grabbed Xiao Qi's neck fiercely.
Xiao Qi's handsome little face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he coughed continuously and slapped the old eunuch's arm with his hand.
Deng Wenya was in a hurry, but she didn't expect to call someone, and she threw herself at the old eunuch.
The old eunuch stuffed a pill into Xiao Qi's mouth very quickly, and patted him on the back of the neck, Xiao Qi involuntarily swallowed the pill, and coughed again and again.
The old eunuch pushed him into Deng Wenya's arms, Deng Wenya hurriedly hugged him, and shouted, "What did you give him to eat!" ”
Empress Li smiled, "Naturally, it is something that can make you obedient."
Deng Wenya glared at her viciously, tears flowed all over her face unconsciously, "Brother Qi'er grew up beside you since he was a child, and you grew up watching him!" How can you bear it! ”
Empress Li flicked her sleeves elegantly, "I can watch him grow up, and naturally I can watch Xiao San'er grow up, none of them came out of my belly, what difference does it make who gave birth?" ”
At this moment, Xiao Qi suddenly clenched his throat and shouted in pain, but in a moment, the corners of his mouth were bleeding and fainted.
"Brother Qi!" Deng Wenya shook Xiao Qi, and trembled to try his snort, seeing that he was still breathing, tears welled up more urgently, but he calmed down a little, "What do you want?" ”
"After all, Brother Qi grew up under the watchful eyes of this palace, if his sister is a little better, this palace naturally can't bear to let him suffer."
Empress Li put away the smile on her face and said lightly, "The second prince is too sad and can't hold the spirit for the emperor, so he went to the East Palace to invite the prince to go."
Empress Dowager Wu spoke, "Brother Qi'er will leave me here."
Deng Wenya was grateful to the Empress Dowager Wu, and the Empress Dowager Wu sneered, "I don't know when Concubine Deng just coerced the mourning family to hand over the junior child, did you think that now she is going to salute the mourning family again?" ”
Deng Wenya made a move, and Empress Dowager Wu sneered, "It's really not the Xie family's species, but it's a pity that it wasn't Princess Ningjun who entered the palace."
Deng Wenya's miserable white face rose purple, almost squeezing her beautiful face into distortion.
Empress Li saluted the Empress Dowager Wu, "Then Brother Qi and Xiao San'er will ask the Queen Mother to take care of them."
Empress Dowager Wu sneered lightly, but did not say anything to stab her, and Qiu Meiren, who had just finished her mouth, cried, "Queen Mother! The third prince is still too young, and he can't live without me, the mother concubine! Please allow the queen mother to allow the concubine to stay and take care of the three princes! ”
"Who says that you can't stay and take care of it, what are you crying about!" Empress Dowager Wu said and looked at Queen Li, her eyes sharp, "I just don't know if the queen will be like Concubine Deng, once the villain gains power, she won't even pay attention to the mourning family."
Queen Li's heart trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head, "The concubine doesn't dare."
Empress Dowager Wu snorted, "It's okay if you don't dare, several princes and princesses are still young and can't travel long distances, and their mothers and concubines will also stay to take care of them, and the rest, you are free."
After the Empress Dowager Wu finished speaking, she stood up with the third prince in her arms, no longer caring about the crying and pleading behind her, and immediately a grandmother picked up Xiao Qi's brothers and sisters and followed her steps.
Deng Wenya stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said in a dumb voice, "You have been calculating me from the beginning."
Empress Li had just been angry with Empress Dowager Wu, and she didn't want to pretend to Deng Wenya at this time, so she said sarcastically, "You want to find death, why should this palace stop you?" ”
Deng Wenya thought of Ning Shenzhi who was carving wood unhurriedly in the prison, her heart was cold, and she was born in a cold sweat in this heat, yes, she was looking for death, she knew, but if she didn't make a move, she could only watch her aunt die in the hands of Ning Shenzhi at some point.
"With the king of Ningjun here, you will be counted as the queen mother, that is, a puppet."
Empress Li laughed, "Puppet? The palace has heard of the puppet emperor, but it has never heard of the puppet queen mother."
Deng Wenya choked and said viciously, "Don't forget, if King Ningjun usurps the throne, the first person to die will be you, the queen mother!" ”
"That's not bad what you said, but sister, you are too considerate, and let me give such a big favor to King Ningjun, presumably even if he wants to usurp the throne in the future, he will probably let me go and let go of the Li family, after all, King Ningjun is famous for his grievances."
Deng Wenya's expression became more and more resentful, Queen Li found a place on her side, and her mood was much better, and she nodded her forehead with a smile, "Sister, teach you to be a good person, don't offend King Ningjun in the future, especially don't threaten him with Princess Ningjun again."
After Empress Li finished speaking, she tightened her plain white cloak and held the eunuch's hand and left gracefully.
Deng Wenya wanted to laugh, but the expression on her face became more and more hideous, don't offend King Ningjun again, especially don't threaten him with Princess Ningjun, does she still have a chance to offend him again, threaten him with Qiu Xiyin?
……
……
Outside the palace gate, the funeral procession was sorting out the formation, Qiu Xiyin followed Xie and walked in front of the women's team, and easily saw Xiao Yin, who was walking in the front and holding the spirit, and couldn't help but wonder, for thousands of years, those with disabilities and even scars on their faces could not be promoted as officials, let alone be the king of a country.
The reason why Xiao Yin still dominates the position of the crown prince is most likely because Xiao Chengzong wants to wait for the turmoil of the Xie family to pass before abolishing him, so as not to implicate the Xie family again.
But no matter how Xiao Yin is the prince, it shouldn't be his turn to hold the spirit today, it should be Xiao Qi.
Qiu Xiyin was thinking about it, and saw a sudden commotion in the solemn and quiet funeral procession, and she looked for the sound and saw Feng Zhinan dressed in filial piety, and his black hair was wrapped in white linen, so he walked over alone.
Feng Zhinan walked up to him and bowed towards Empress Li, "The queen forgives her sins, Chi Yang is late."
Queen Li waved her hand, her attitude was very kind, "The princess lives far away, it is understandable to be late, just stand next to your cousin-in-law."
As soon as Queen Li's words fell, Qiu Zhengshen walked over quickly and raised her voice slightly, "The princess is pregnant, and it is not suitable to travel long distances, so let's go back."
Feng Zhinan turned to look at him and raised his eyebrows, "Qiu Shangshu is even afraid of a woman who is pregnant with a top three, how did he have the courage to kidnap Yinyin?" ”
Qiu Zhengshen choked, and Xie Shi said lightly, "The princess is with us."
Qiu Zhengshen glanced at her, and then looked at Feng Zhinan, who unconsciously supported his abdomen with his hand, and didn't say any more, and turned back again.
After Qiu Zhengshen left, the woman standing on Qiu Xiyin's right hand immediately retreated very knowingly, Feng Zhinan strode over to Qiu Xiyin and stood still, and said, "Don't be afraid."
Feng Zhinan had already come, Qiu Xiyin didn't want to say anything more that she shouldn't come, but said, "Princess, be careful of the child."
Feng Zhinan nodded, and neither of them spoke again.
