Gonggong Wei returned to the palace when it was dark and replied to Xie Mingxi: "Queen Qiyu, Zhilan has been buried." ”

Xie Mingxi's gaze swept over the corners of Grandpa Wei's reddened eyes, and asked softly, "How is Grandpa Lu now?" ”

Father-in-law Wei's expression was slightly dark, and his voice was a little hoarse: "The father-in-law cried for a long time, and his emotions were unstable, and the slave accompanied the father-in-law for half a day before returning to the palace to resume his life." ”

Father-in-law Lu was seriously ill, and when he saw Zhilan's corpse today, his mood fluctuated greatly, he cried for a long time, and fainted again.

Father-in-law Wei couldn't rest assured and stayed with him for a long time. Before leaving, he specially told the two slaves that they must stay by Grandpa Lu's side day and night these days.

Xie Mingxi has no good impression of Father-in-law Lu, nor does he have a bad feeling, and letting Father-in-law Lu out of the palace is also for the sake of Father-in-law Wei's face. After asking, he didn't ask any more.

It was Xiang Hui, seeing that Father-in-law Wei was in a gloomy and depressed mood, and immediately retired after Father-in-law Wei retreated. Quickly chased out.

"How is Grandpa Lu now?" Xiang Hui asked in a low voice.

Gonggong Wei sighed in a low voice: "The doctor said that the left and right are the things of the past few days. I have already prepared the coffin shroud and the like. ”

Gonggong Wei entered the palace at a young age and recognized Gonggong Lu as his father-in-law. In the following years, Gonggong Lu has been teaching to take care of Yizi, and Gonggong Wei has also emerged from a group of small chamberlains, until he became the seventh prince as an attendant at the side.

Father-in-law Wei attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is grateful to Father-in-law Lu. Father-in-law Lu was out of the palace, and he was like a real son, providing for Father-in-law Lu.

It's a pity that Grandpa Lu's longevity has come to an end. Even if you invite a famous doctor in the capital, you can't cure the dying person.

Gonggong Wei said, his eyes already flashing with water.

Xiang Hui took out the handkerchief and wanted to wipe away her tears for Grandpa Wei. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a palace maid looking around, and instead stuffed the handkerchief into the hand of Gonggong Wei.

Gonggong Wei wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, folded the handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Xiang Hui: "......"

Xiang Hui's cheeks were slightly hot, and she glared at Gonggong Wei quietly.

Grandpa Wei was glared at, his mood was a little better, and he grinned: "Go back to the queen mother on an errand!" It's time for me to move the temple. When I'm free, I'll talk to you again. ”

Xiang Hui responded, and watched Gonggong Wei leave the palace before turning back.

Pairing food in the palace is naturally different from ordinary couples. Gonggong Wei has to serve the Son of Heaven with him, and Xianghui has to be by Queen Xie's side every day. The two met and talked from time to time, and occasionally they were not on duty at night, and they arrived at a ...... It's still talking.

Take care of each other, care for each other, and warm each other.

In the palace, it is enough to have such a person.

……

That night, Grandpa Lu closed his eyes.

We cannot live together, but we want to die together.

The chamberlain has no descendants, but he is also a man. Father-in-law Lu's body is mutilated an important part, and his feelings are not broken. can die with Zhilan, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

When Duke Wei heard the news, he left the palace and buried Duke Lu next to Zhilan's grave. This is also the wish of Grandpa Lu before his death. Father-in-law Wei naturally wants to fulfill his father-in-law's wish.

Gonggong Wei knelt in front of Gonggong Lu's grave, burned three sticks of incense for Gonggong Lu, and kowtowed three times. I muttered silently in my heart.

Father-in-law, you seemed to be beautiful in the palace during your lifetime, but in fact you were trembling and did not have a good life. I hope that in the next life, you can have a good baby, be a rich son, and be a real couple with Zhilan.

Father-in-law Lu passed away, and no one in the palace cared.

However, Gonggong Wei, who was in the middle of the day, went out of the palace with red eyes for a day, and returned to the palace with swollen eyes in the evening, and all the attendants looked at it. As soon as Gonggong Wei returned to the palace, a bunch of attendants immediately surrounded him and asked him about the cold and the warmth.

How could Father-in-law Wei be in the mood to deal with this pile of sycophants, so he casually perfunctory a few words, and then entered the Yiqing Palace.

Sheng Hong put down the fold in his hand and glanced at Gonggong Wei with concern: "Father-in-law Lu's future affairs have been dealt with properly?" ”

"Yes," Gonggong Wei responded respectfully, knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, and let the slave go out of the palace to take care of the funeral for Gonggong Lu." ”

As an internal servant, he is humble and cheap. It is not uncommon to be wrapped in a straw mat and buried after death. Giving a thin coffin is already considered to be the master's benevolence.

Like Father-in-law Lu, there are almost no funerals after death, and there are almost no people who are buried alive.

Gonggong Wei knew that this was all the grace given to him by his master, and he was very grateful.

Sheng Hong didn't take this little thing to heart: "It's just a small thing, why do you need to say thank you." ”

Gonggong Wei said in a low voice: "For the emperor, it is a trivial matter to open his mouth. For the minions, it is a great grace. ”

This is also the most convincing thing about Shenghong.

Sheng Hong's approachability is by no means pretend. treats the servants around him, and never depreciates them. When serving Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Jian'an, the attendants were like utensils. After serving the new emperor, they have the feeling that they are human beings.

As a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, Grandpa Wei's feelings are more profound than those of other chamberlains.

Sheng Hong said warmly: "In the past two days, you have been busy and hard, and you are really tired and hard. Let's go back and rest early! You won't have to wait tonight. ”

Gonggong Wei was moved and thanked again: "The emperor treats the slaves like a mountain, and the servants are grateful." ”

Death for a confidant.

Now, the emperor asked him to go to the oil pot in the jumping knife mountain, and he would not hesitate.

……

There is also a thick stack of folds.

Sheng Hong instructed the chamberlain to invite Zhao Ge Lao Yan Ge to come.

There are many court affairs, and there are mountains of recitals sent from all over the country every day, as well as recitals submitted by officials of the six ministries. If you want to read them one by one, you may not be able to do it if you are busy until midnight every day.

Sheng Hong has sat on the dragon chair for more than two years and deeply understands the busy and hard work of the Son of Heaven.

Now that the court is still stable, the Empress Dowager Yu has also stopped. Sheng Hong wanted to go back to the Jiaofang Hall every night for dinner, and then he would personally teach Princess A Luo to practice martial arts and accompany the queen, so he naturally started the idea of the cabinet.

The cabinet had to streamline the recital, but unfortunately, it was still not finished every day. As a result, several pavilion elders took turns to stay in the Yiqing Hall every night to be on duty, and read the less important recitals. The next day, Sheng Hong can browse again.

In this way, it really saves a lot of worry and effort.

Zhao Ge and Yan Ge gave up their hands together: "The old minister has seen the emperor." ”

Sheng Hong was very polite to the elders who came to work hard to make cattle and horses, and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, the two pavilion elders will work hard tonight." ”

Then, very happily, he walked away.

Zhao Ge Lao Yan Ge Lao glanced at each other silently, and sighed in his heart.

The emperor's heart is so wide!

Emperor Jianwen was known for his diligence and often stayed up late to review the recitals. Emperor Jian'an has a poor character, and when he was the Son of Heaven, he was afraid that others would usurp power, and he would never allow the old man to approve and review the folds. The new emperor is very relieved of them!
