When Duofu Duolu and the others heard this, they all secretly sighed that Fang Caibai was worried.

It turned out that the emperor was so considerate and thoughtful, and he didn't mean to blame at all.

It's they who are overhearted.

In the hall, Shuya carefully uncovered the bed tent and called softly, "Niangniang, Niangniang?" ”

Su Youyi didn't wake up.

Shuya continued to call her, "Niangniang, the emperor has a will." ”

Su Youyi's eyelids moved slightly, this was conscious, but she couldn't wake up from fatigue for a while.

Speak to her directly at this time, she can hear her.

Shuya said: "The emperor invites you to go to the Baohua Hall to worship together, and the chief steward is waiting outside with his will." Mother, do you want to get up? ”

Sure enough, hearing this, Su Youyi's eyelids trembled even more, and she opened her eyes after a while.

"The emperor has sent a decree from the chief manager?"

Shuya smiled and nodded, and helped her up as she spoke, "Yes, Niangniang." The chief manager is waiting outside, if Niangniang's body can hold up, let's go, after all, this is the first New Year after Niangniang became the queen. ”

To be able to worship the ancestors of the royal family means to be affirmed by the emperor and the entire royal family, which is a supreme honor.

Su Youyi slowly recovered her spirits, "I'm fine, you go and tell the chief manager, leave immediately after the palace changes clothes." ”

Shuya answered, and when she went out of the hall, she saw Gao Qishou and Duofu and others waiting there.

Seeing Shuya go out, everyone looked at her expectantly.

Shuya said with a smile: "Niangniang's body is fine, she has already gotten up at this time, and the chief laborer went back to tell the emperor, and Niangniang went over after changing her clothes." ”

Baohua Hall.

The cigarette is curling, and the law is solemn.

Su Youyi's belly is extraordinarily big, and it is difficult to kneel down on her own, and the emperor will always support her.

Fortunately, it is not too long when kneeling, and more often it is enough to stand and twist incense to salute, after all, they are the emperor and queen, and not everyone can afford to enjoy their worship.

After the worship, the emperor suddenly said: "I discussed with Su Qing a few years ago, and he will build an ancestral hall and ancestral temple for your family." There are still some clansmen in Lingnan who can enjoy the fields, ancestral halls, and clan middle schools. I posthumously crowned your father as a scholar of the third grade of Hanlin, and called him the national abbot. ”

Su Youyi recalled that their family did have some relatives in the countryside, but they were not usually close. If I had to say that I had a cousin, there was only one cousin who lived in the next village.

At the beginning, in order to send his son to his father to study, he often came and went, his son was only three years younger than Su Youyi, and then Su Youyi fled to the capital in a hurry due to an accident at home, and there has been no news of this cousin's family since then.

The emperor's move can be regarded as making her glorious hometown, and her clan relatives are also stained.

Su Youyi bowed and thanked her, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The concubine's father has always had the ambition to serve the imperial court before his death, but because his family is poor, he can't afford to go to Beijing to catch the exam, so he only took the exam for one year, and he didn't dare to go after he fell behind. Now the emperor has fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and his father's spirit in the sky can rest in peace. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

If it should be, the queen's father and brother are still petty officials, and they have not seen any light from the queen.

In the final analysis, it is the emperor's grace.

Su Youyi thought for a while, and then said: "Something like that happened last night, the emperor's original will can't be fully transmitted, why don't you wait for the good day of the Fifteenth Lantern Festival to announce it?" The pure sister and the green nobleman were promoted to the concubines, and Xu Changzai was promoted to the nobles, which are all good things. ”

"You almost forgot, if you don't say it."

Originally, on such a good day as the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, the emperor was bound to announce some good news to add joy.

And at the end of the year, it is also the time when the emperor is most likely to think of Jin Feng as a palace concubine.

was disturbed by Concubine Hui and failed to say it, and then Su Youyi reminded her, and the emperor remembered that there was such a thing.

"Then according to your meaning, the announcement on the fifteenth Lantern Festival is also considered double happiness."

……

After the worship was completed, the wind blew away the thick sandalwood aroma of incense.

Su Youyi felt that the weather seemed to be warmer.

I thought that the weather had been exceptionally cold from autumn to winter, and the warmth of spring would not come too early, but I didn't expect that the first day of the new year would feel much warmer.

It's a surprise.

Gao Qishouhou was outside the Baohua Palace, and when he saw the emperor and queen coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, something happened." ”

"What's the matter?"

Gao Qishou hesitated for a moment, he really didn't want to tell such unfortunate news, "The news that just came from the Ji Mansion, Mrs. Ji hanged herself!" ”

"What?!"

Su Youyi didn't sleep all night, and just knelt down in the Baohua Hall again, her body was a little weak, and her body shook when she heard the news.

Fortunately, the emperor was quick and helped her at once.

Gao Qishou slapped himself in the mouth with regret, he knew that he shouldn't have come to tell him at this time, just be unlucky, if he shocked the fetus in Su Youyi's belly, his hard work in the palace for half his life would be over!

The emperor hurriedly said: "How are you?" What do you feel uncomfortable with? ”

Su Youyi shook her head and stood up straight, "It's just that I feel too surprised, Mrs. Ji is such a gentle and kind person, how could something like this suddenly happen?" ”

It is true to be gentle and kind, and it is also true to shout and hate her in front of her.

Knowing that she hated herself, Su Youyi still didn't want her to die, probably because she sympathized with her too much......

When the emperor saw that she was fine, he asked Gao Qishou, "What's going on?" ”

Gao Qishou said: "I heard that Lord Shoufu returned to the East Courtyard after returning last night, and Mrs. Ji has been in the West Courtyard, and there is no Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together in the mansion, nor does it keep the New Year together." ”

"It seems that the subordinates who entered the palace with Lord Shoufu were discussing the palace banquet in the mansion, and Mrs. Ji heard it, so Mrs. Ji closed the door and stuffed in the house all night."

"Early this morning, the maid went in to serve and wash, only to find that Mrs. Ji's body was hanging on the beam, and it was already cold. Everyone in the house said that Mrs. Ji felt that she had caused trouble to Lord Shoufu and almost killed Lord Shoufu, so she committed suicide by hanging beams......"

The emperor was silent when he heard this.

Whether Li Ziyue committed suicide by hanging herself because she was ashamed, or Ji Yushen chose to kill Li Ziyue in order to protect himself and Su Youyi, it is still unknown.

But it doesn't matter.

No matter how Li Ziyue died, there will always be one less hidden trouble from now on, and the emperor is satisfied in his heart.

He nodded, "I know, since the man is dead, there is nothing to say. ”

The emperor did not order anyone to compensate Ji Yushen, nor did he let anyone go to mourn Li Ziyue on his behalf, but only said that he knew.

The ministers of the court and the central government all smelled the direction of the wind, and few of them went to the Ji Mansion to visit the memorials.

There are so many reasons.

For example, Li Ziyue committed suicide on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she really died a bad death, who wants to take the initiative to provoke bad luck during the New Year? The emperor was so bad that he didn't send someone to commemorate the funeral, and the courtiers were even more lazy to join in the fun.

For another example, everyone knows that Ji Yushen and Li Ziyue are not harmonious husband and wife, and Li Ziyue is the daughter of Li Gelao, which is even more taboo.
