Chapter 945: The Dust Has Settled
Sure enough, as Xie Xian said, as soon as the sky was bright, the palace had already sent people to all prefectures to send letters, so that the women of the fourth grade or above would enter the palace to cry and mourn. Except for the elderly, sick and infirm, all attendees.
Mother Xie is old, and Queen Xiao specially instructed that she didn't have to enter the palace, but only mourned in the mansion.
The rest of the people in the house, except for the widow Wang Qiang, who lived in Xie Mansion, Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Wang, Xiao Baoxin and Wang Twelve Niang, all entered the palace.
On the sixth day of August in the seventh year of Yongping, the emperor was mourned.
On the seventh day, the courtiers and foreign women entered the palace to mourn.
When Xiao Baoxin arrived, the woman waiting outside the Taiji Hall was already gone. On this day, it was a little cloudy, and the wind was rolling dark clouds, as if it was going to rain every minute.
The door of the temple was delayed, and everyone was a little worried.
Although Xiao Baoxin is deaf and clear-sighted, the wind is too loud, and there are too many people outside, so he can't really hear it for a while, but he feels that the hall is quite noisy, and he can't hear the number.
“…… What's going on? ”
Crying and mourning are divided by grade, which is not like the gathering of families together in the past.
Because of Xie Xian's noble status, most of Xiao Baoxin's side are older foreign women, and she has to call the old lady and Mrs. Tai outside, and no matter how bad it is, she has to call this aunt and that aunt.
It was Mrs. Xu of Xi Shangshu of the Criminal Department who spoke, and she was young and couldn't hold her breath.
Qi Shangshu's wife, the Xie family, was easy-going, but she did not hesitate to say: "Xu is not thoughtful and is adjusting." ”
Pan Shuo is the current secretary and supervisor, and he also has the face of the Empress Dowager Pan, and his wife Xu is also crowded to the front, next to Xiao Baoxin, and said to her in a suppressed voice: "I heard the eunuch say, it seems that Concubine Chu is not convinced......"
Pan Shuo and Xie Xian were different, Xie Xian hurriedly returned to the mansion and immediately returned to the palace, lest he be afraid. Pan Shuo was frightened a lot, how could he solve his worries when he returned to Pan's mansion, he naturally pulled his daughter-in-law and said that his heart was cold, and he was really scared. It can cause drastic changes in minutes, and it is not impossible to say that blood is splattered on the spot.
The Shuren Wang clan killed a lot of people on the spot, and Xue Shu died at that time, and he was still a meritorious minister of the Great Liang, and a god of war level figure on par with Xiao Sikong.
Pan Shuo only felt that the royal family was too far to reach, too close and dangerous, but it was not easy to handle it in the middle.
Now that Mrs. has entered the palace to cry and mourn, the only instruction is to follow Mrs. Xiao closely, that is, it is really chaotic, with Xiao Baoxin, he Pan Shuo believes that no one can hurt his wife.
At that time, he was afraid, but King Jiangxia bit Xie Xian, he didn't think about standing up and speaking for Xie Xian, it was Xie Xian who stopped him with a look.
Firmly, unquestionably, tell him that he doesn't need to intervene.
At this glance, he believes that Xie Xian is a loving and righteous person.
He doesn't believe in rebellious ministers and thieves or something.
Seeing that the time was coming, Princess Nanjun, who was in the front row, quit.
Princess Nanjun is twenty-six or seventeen years old, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and she is originally very delicate, but she often has a cold face, giving people a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
She herself doesn't mind what others think of her, whether it's royal affairs, or after marrying into the Chu family, she rarely walks around with people, and the eldest princess of Huiji used to be keen on holding banquets, and she loves to be lively, and the only one who can't be invited is this princess of Nanjun.
Regardless of the noise of gongs and drums outside, people live their own cold little life.
It's just that now that the emperor is dead, she can't avoid it.
Princess Nanjun ignored the sound of Suo Suo beside her, and dragged her long dress up the steps step by step. The eunuch originally wanted to stop it, but the princess of Nanjun didn't even pay attention to it and pushed people away, and pushed the door open when the eunuch next to her didn't react.
Concubine Chu Guifei was still crying in the mourning hall, and the eunuch and palace maid who was pulling her had a bloody face on her face, and a piece of bloody flesh on her hand that had been bitten and was about to fall off.
Princess Nanjun frowned, unable to see this scene.
Queen Xiao was so angry that she stroked her back, this hob meat tore her face, did she want to die with her?
Princess Nanjun didn't let herself see Queen Xiao, so she walked around to Chu Guifei, who was half-stopped and half-hugged by the palace maid, raised her arm and slapped Chu Guifei fiercely. Suddenly, five fingerprints were printed on that delicate little face.
In such a noisy mourning hall, Chu Guifei's pig-like cry suddenly stopped.
Even a few princes were shocked by their crying, looking at each other, not daring to cry again.
Hibiscus withdrew her hand, and a little later she struck it with a knife to knock the thing unconscious.
However, she always remembered that she was Xiao Baoxin's maid, but not Queen Xiao's, and she didn't dare to come out if she shouldn't have come out, for fear of causing disaster to Xiao Baoxin. After all, her wife is famous, and her face is not long without memory, in case people recognize it, it will not be worth it if she is hated by Concubine Chu and the Chu family.
"Have you made enough trouble?!"
Princess Nanjun had a cold face, and her voice was colder than her face: "You are also called a noble lady of the family?" Is it worthy of your last name?! The emperor has an edict, the royal family recognizes it, the six books are recognized, the entire court recognizes it, and the Chu family recognizes it, why do you have to pass it on to your son? ”
"Are you big or is the emperor bigger?"
"If the emperor has an edict, he must follow it! If you continue to make trouble, you can only make the Chu family faceless! What kind of bullshit concubine has happened, regardless of the overall situation, and doesn't know the general situation! Hundreds of foreign women outside are waiting, do you want the world to see my Song family's jokes?! ”
If Concubine Chu doesn't make trouble, how can she know that the Chu family can't count on it?
She couldn't get the word out there at all. They were all stopped by Empress Xiao and Xie Xian.
It's easy to make trouble, and it's the cold-hearted princess of Nanjun.
In the Chu family, he is powerful, but now he pulls out what it means to disgrace the Chu family - is the Chu family losing face? It's the throne that is lost!
"The emperor clearly promised me that the queen has nothing to do for six years, and he will pass the throne to my son - you are not the Chu family, don't get involved, you yourself say that your surname is Song, lose your Song family!"
"Empty words, don't you understand the meaning of these words!" Princess Nanjun said sharply, "You still don't want to repent! Chu Yu's horse guards have merit in capturing the traitor, and the merit is in the community, how can you allow you to be honest in the harem and damage the reputation of my Chu family? Why am I not the Chu family? Chu is my husband, and I am the Chu family! Chu Jiuniang, if you go crazy again, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”
"If you make trouble again, the Chu family will immediately draw a line with you! Do you believe it or not? ”
Chu Guifei was incredulous: "I am a concubine ......"
"Gui Taifei!" Princess Nanjun corrected.
The emperor is dead.
There's no one to call her heads anymore.
The dust has settled, and if you lose, you have to admit it. If you don't admit it, you won't have a chance to turn it over, you can't see the timing clearly, you can't see the stakes, and no one has to admit it with two brushes!
Empress Xiao and Princess Nanjun glanced at each other.
Princess Nanjun took the lead in saluting, turned to leave, and hung the hand that Queen Xiao had raised halfway in the air.
