It's already July, and the whole imperial city is a lot lively, and there are many show girls from all over the world entering Beijing.

Just in time for the start of the exam in the autumn of this year, there are also a lot of students rushing to take the exam.

And at this time, Pei Ji, the grandson of Pei Jia, had actually been in the imperial city for more than a month.

He also wants to rush for the exam, and he has been studying hard for more than ten years, and this time, he also has the heart to win the championship.

However, the Pei family did not have a house in the capital, and they did not want to interact with the Shen family, so they lived in an inn.

It wasn't until the exam was about to start that I went to the Shen family to be polite.

It was also at this time that Shen Chuliu knew that her cousin, whom she had never seen before, had come to the capital to take the exam.

I asked Lantern Festival to go out of the palace and sent some things.

To Shen Chuliu, Pei Ji is still very polite, after all, this is his aunt's only bone and blood.

In the inn, the little maid followed Pei Ji to send off the Lantern Festival and asked, "Childe, why don't we live in the Shen family?" ”

I can't figure it out, although my aunt and grandmother are gone, but the Shen family is a serious in-law in the end.

When my aunt and grandmother were alive, she was the serious lady of the Shen family, and she was nothing else.

"My aunt was eighteen when she died." Pei Ji snorted: "If they take good care of it, can it be gone so early?" ”

"It's not that it's that the baby is gone...... "The little guy was puzzled.

"Even if that's the case, my cousin is alone, and they can't bear to be sent to the palace?" Pei Ji snorted.

"Niangniang is also very good now." The little guy is still puzzled.

"What if it's not good? What if she dies? Pei Ji said coldly: "That's it, don't talk about this, the Shen family has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to say it anymore." ”

The little guy was too busy to answer yes, and he didn't dare to ask again.

The Shen family invited a few times, but Pei Ji only said that he wanted to study hard, and the inn was full of people who were rushing to take the exam, so it was beneficial to learn from each other.

The Shen family had no choice but to give up.

On the day of July and a half, Pei Ji took the initiative to tell the Shen family that he was going to incense Pei's.

Although Pei died early, after all, she was a serious lady and was buried with the second master of the Shen family.

Naturally, incense and annual worship are indispensable.

Pei Ji, the nephew, came back to incense.

In the palace, in the middle of July, there are also sacrifices.

It's just a unified sacrifice, and the things that are to be burned in each palace are prepared, and they are all brought together, and they are specially made in the palace.

Then there are high-ranking monks chanting scriptures, and there are all kinds of papier-mâché things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This is for the ladies of the palace to prepare for their mother's family or other relatives, and for those who died in vain in this palace.

As for Qi Yixiu's ancestors, naturally they don't have to, people just go to the temple to offer incense.

Shen Chuliu also asked people to do a lot, because she was pregnant, so it was inconvenient to participate today.

was stopped by Zirui and a few, but Zirui and Lantern Xiao went.

Except for Shen Chuliu, Concubine Yi and Yingmei didn't go.

Yingmei's life is difficult, and the confinement is long, and it hasn't come out yet.

Concubine Yi was sick and couldn't stand these collisions, so she was naturally spared.

The queen led everyone to do these things behind the Wind Pavilion.

I thought it would be the same every year, that's all. I didn't expect something to happen this year.

First of all, Concubine Jin, after burning the paper and returning to the palace, she is the closest to here.

So I went back first, but when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I suddenly saw a ghost in white, and I floated over at once.

Not only did she see it, but the slaves and maids saw it, and they were frightened, and they screamed at that time.

At night, the fever did not go away.

Princess Celestia was also shocked by her and also fell ill.

Qi Yixiu went to see it the next day, and he listened to Concubine Jin's chatter that he saw a ghost's shadow.

Qi Yixiu reprimanded, rewarded things again, and didn't take it seriously.

And this night, Li Chongrong also said that she saw the shadow of a ghost. At the same time, Ning Chongyi actually said that he saw someone, and it was the jade cicada that was killed by the rod a few days ago.

Saying this, I don't know if it was a suspicion or something, Concubine Feng Shufei also got sick, crying and shouting for the jade cicada.

Crazy is not a good idea.

The queen was furious: "Where did the ghosts and gods come from! One by one, it's going to be reversed! ”

"What Niangniang said is, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, why are these two so scared?" Concubine Yi came to greet her sick body.

"The concubine didn't know, but the concubine heard the man say that he died unjustly. Listening to the sound is the jade cicada. Ning Chongyi's face was not good-looking.

"The concubine's slave maid also listened to it, saying that it was the jade cicada who said it, and she was guilty." Ning Chongyi frowned: "Who is this for?" ”

"The more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes!" The queen threw the tea residue on the table: "Pass on the decree of the palace, and check it for the palace immediately!" Look at the things that don't want to die! ”

When everyone saw that the queen was furious, they didn't dare to say anything, but after all, the people were panicking.

The ancients believed in these things the most, and they had to say what they didn't have, let alone a shadow?

After all, the jade cicadas had just died, and it was a mess.

Everyone's scared stamina hasn't passed yet.

This time it is said that the jade cicada has been recovered, how can everyone not be afraid?

No, Concubine Feng didn't get up, Concubine Yi struggled to say goodbye, she fell ill.

You must know that Shen Chuliu has been in the palace for the past few years, and this is the first time that Concubine Feng Shufei has been so sick. That's a good guy.

Coming out of Fengzao Palace, Shen Chuliu held Zhemei's hand: "It's cloudy today, and it doesn't look like it's going to rain, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

"Hey." Yao Baolin nodded.

Lantern Festival and silver kettle followed.

After all, the belly is big, not like in the past, just with a person.

"Sister Jing, where are you going?" Su Baolin caught up.

"Let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden. If you go, let's go for it. Shen Chuliu said.

"Okay, it's time to go for a walk." Su Baolin Road.

When the three of them went to the Imperial Garden, they noticed that there was a lack of people waiting.

It's broad daylight, Shen Chuliu laughed: "Don't say it's pretending to be a ghost, even if it's a real ghost, you can't do anything when you're alive, what can you do when you're dead?" After all, the person who killed her is wronged and has a debtor, and she can still find someone casually? ”

"What Sister Jing said is that that's what the concubine thinks." Su Baolin picked a leaf casually: "In this world, ghosts and gods are nothing terrible. ”

Shen Chuliu smiled and didn't answer, and the three of them went to the pavilion together.

The imperial doctors are busy, they have to see it in Fuyang Palace, and they have to see it in Taiping Palace.

The frightened Li Chongrong and Ning Chongyi had to see it.

That night, in the north and middle palaces of the palace, in a remote place, two eunuchs dragged a gagged palace maid away.

The palace maid was white, struggling desperately.

However, she couldn't match the strength of the two eunuchs, and it didn't take long for her to be forcibly planted headfirst into a well.

The people living in the North Palace are all concubines from the time of the first emperor, and they are all people who have had children or have grace to stay in the palace, and there are few in total.
