Without Li Fangyi, An Shunyi, who competed with Li Fangyi in the palace, gradually took the limelight, and was on par with Hua Chengyi's favor. Secondly, Ye Guiyi is also favored a lot, her appearance is not as good as An Shunyi, and she is better than gentleness and pettiness. She was sick for a few days after giving birth and rarely went to bed. However, after more than half a year, she gradually recovered and began to serve the emperor again.

Tuoba Hong misses the old love, and he would always look at her twice in the past month, so he would not be too cold. It's just that one day when the emperor went to see the five princes in the palace of the concubines, he saw that the chins of the five princes looked like Ye's, so he became enthusiastic about Ye's.

No matter what is in the palace, it is not as good as having your own children.

At the beginning of April, the emperor promoted Ye Guiyi and An Shunyi to Ronghua, Ye gave the name "Wen", and An gave the name "Jade". Hua Chengyi did not get the Jin title, even if the emperor likes her, he still has to take care of his face. A dancing girl who can't get on the stage can't be compared with the two Ronghua.

Wen Ronghua is just that. This Yu Ronghua ...... Come to think of it, this word is well-deserved for An Ruyi.

The crowd was even more angry with Ahn because of this.

The ten days after the Dragon Boat Festival are the days of Changning's "picking joy".

The emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty would sit behind the heavy curtains of the Jiaotai Hall when she was married, watching several young people from noble backgrounds stand in front of her to give a salute, and finally choose one of them.

This is the ancestral system, although Changning has already set the prince of Xiliang, this transition still has to go through.

The foil for the prince of Xiliang is the only son of Prime Minister Xiao's family, as well as the son of Prince Cheng.

At that time, the concubines were not qualified to attend, it was the emperor and the queen mother who sat at the top, and Concubine Jing, Lin Yuan, and Zhao Zhaoyi at the bottom were able to stand on the side because they organized the banquet. Naturally, the concubines who are often bored took advantage of this happy event to hold a family banquet in the side hall of the Jiaotai Palace, and talked about the wine, celebrating the Qianwu Dynasty to marry the first emperor on one wall, and throwing pots on the other wall to have fun with poetry.

When the drum bell rang, Lin Yuan's mind slowly calmed down. She looked at the girl sitting behind the vermilion curtain, and then at Zhao Zhaoyi, who had a calm face and a decent expression.

I don't know, what method Zhao Zhaoyi came up with...... After crying that day, she never asked Lin Yuan for help again.

After a while, three teenagers stepped inside, first bowing their heads to the emperor and queen mother, and then saluting the emperor. With a "yes", the girl behind the curtain was as immature as the willows in spring.

Among the three, the prince of Xiliang has a gentle face like jade and a very elegant demeanor. Xiao Yuan, the sister-in-law of the Xiao family, was only ten years old, as if he had just practiced court etiquette, and he still had a childish smile on his face. The son of Prince Cheng's mansion is eighteen years old, and it has been delayed since the girl who was the first to marry is gone.

The white-bearded Ministry of Rites Shangshu shouted "get up", and the three of them stood still. Then the emperor questioned him, and the three of them answered their own questions.

Poems, books, etiquette, spring and autumn, five books go around. Although these three are young, they are all royal nobles, so this thing is naturally difficult.

During this period, Emperor Changning also needed to be questioned. Changning asked about the law, something that only needed to be memorized, and she got three identical answers. In the end, she nodded to the one in the middle according to the rules and said, "What the prince of Xiliang said is very much in line with the heart of this palace. ”

After that, there was the feast, a meal that took two hours, and it was the first time that the elderly queen mother had persevered for such a long time. After the meal, the Queen Mother, as the most noble elder in the palace, had a rare smile on her face and asked Changning, "Is it okay to choose?" ”

Changning just nodded.

Under the heavy royal etiquette, she couldn't say a word at this time. The choice of the candidate will be announced to the world by the emperor a few days later.

This regulation led to the fact that in the royal dynasties, even if the royal ladies who were unwilling to accept their fate wanted to resist, they would not be qualified to express their hearts in the end.

The Queen Mother smiled and said to the emperor, "It's okay." "At this time, it must also be said by the female dependents, this was originally the task of Queen Xiao, but now it can't be pushed to the Queen Mother.

The emperor was also full of joy, and with a light smile, he motioned to the Ministry of Rites to lead the three teenagers to retreat. However, at this moment, a sharp exclamation from the side hall pierced the sky.

The Emperor's face froze for a moment, then sank. Unfortunately, the screams did not stop, and after one sound, more noise spread into the solemn main hall of the Jiaotai Palace.

"Who is the one who is surprised!" The emperor finally couldn't help but be angry, and slapped his palm on the small table. On a happy day, there is no room for error.

The courtiers in the Jiaotai Palace looked at each other, and the royal family affairs had never been in such chaos. Yao Fusheng led a few small eunuchs to go out to check, but unexpectedly collided with a palace maid who stumbled into the main hall. The palace maid was unkempt and knelt down in the center with a plop: "Your Majesty, it's dead, it's dead......"

"Pull down the mourners, and kill them with a cane!" The Queen Mother's eyes widened angrily, and her voice was calm. Changning actually said a dead word at the happy event, and he should be beaten to death!

At this time, someone found a large area of blood soaked on the blue palace dress of the palace maid, and under the shock, some courtiers exclaimed in a low voice. The little palace maid was dragged down by two attendants, crying non-stop, and shouting "Concubine Mao Niangniang is dead......

The palace maid's face, which was distorted to the extreme because of fear, was terrifying. And she just shouted over and over again, but she didn't shout for mercy like ordinary people.

Tuoba Hong said nothing with a calm face, but Concubine Jing was already frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The concubines are at fault, all of them are the concubines' poor control, and the concubines will go to the side hall to see those concubines......"

Tuoba Hong waved his hand to sweep down the edict on the desk, and a fold scraped Concubine Jing's face, knocking all the steps on her bun to the ground, and she was embarrassed for a while. Tuoba Hong said angrily: "This is your harem!" You don't have to worry about it, I'll see it myself! Then he lifted his feet and walked out.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and flicked her sleeves and left, Changning was hurriedly led out of the back door by Zhao Zhaoyi, the courtiers in the palace were at a loss for a while, and the Ministry of Rites was also standing in a sneer, not knowing what to do. Lin Yuan looked at this farce, and had no choice but to kneel with Concubine Jing.

Over there, Tuoba Hong went to the side hall, and when he entered the house, he shouted: "Where is the concubine!" ”

In front of him were a mess of concubines, and the noblewomen who had been brightly dressed and pampered in the past were now huddled in a ball or shrunk in the corner, all with their hair in a messy bun, and the floor was full of overturned candlesticks and tea bowls. And Tuoba Hong, who had just stepped into the threshold, accidentally collided with a few concubines who ran away crying. Several women looked up to see that it was the emperor, and fell to their knees again.

When did the palace lose its dignity like this, Tuoba Hong was furious after a glance, and ordered the concubines not to cry anymore. I was about to ask what was going on, when I saw a person lying under the back wall in the distance.

It was only then that he noticed a disgusting rancid smell in the air.

Yao Fusheng trotted up to check, and just wanted to get closer, a palace maid screamed, "Don't touch." Fortunately, An Ruyi was bolder in the crowd, and her face was still calm, and she knelt down and said, "Back to the emperor, Concubine Mao has just ...... Violent death. I don't know how I died, we were all feasting and drinking, and Concubine Mao left the table halfway, saying that she was going to sober up, but after a while, she ran in frantically while screaming...... Then he started banging his head against the wall, until blood was splashing everywhere, and he was screaming desperately. The concubines and others were very afraid, and some people were timid, so they also screamed. ”

"Violent death?" Tuoba Hong sneered: "Come on, Yao Fusheng." As usual, you go to the Imperial Doctor and the people of the Monk's Catering Bureau to check the food here. Let's go and see the body of the concubine. ”

"Your Majesty!" An Shi took a breath and said, "The emperor still doesn't want to go to see it, Concubine Mao Niangniang...... Crawled out a lot of bugs, many, many ...... Not only did they crawl out of their mouths and ears, but some of them bit their flesh and came out...... I also asked the emperor to send the imperial doctor to get the insecticidal medicine, the insects, and they are still crawling out, crawling to our side. Also, we ate with the concubine, but we were fine, only the concubine...... I don't know if it's poisoning. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Tuoba Hong's face changed slightly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Concubine Mao from afar.

He couldn't see the face of the concubine clearly, and could only see a large pool of blood soaked under the corpse. However, there were a few small black beetles crawling out of the threshold, and a concubine found the insects at her feet, and she couldn't help but scream again.

"I still have to pass the imperial doctor over." The anger on Tuoba Hong's face gradually faded, but his eyes became more and more gloomy. He turned around and threw down a sentence: "Seal the palace of Jiaotai and investigate it thoroughly." ”

The emperor's wedding ceremony was completely messed up. Tuoba Hong did not return to the main hall after going to the side hall, and only after half an hour did he pass the decree, ordering the courtiers who were present today to leave the palace for the time being, and the emperor's marriage was also postponed.

The concubines and concubines of the palace also returned to the palace one after another, but they were all shocked. Concubine Jing and Lin Yuan were lucky, they didn't see the terrifying scene in the side hall and were frightened, but they also asked for their guilt and thought about it behind closed doors because they had done something wrong. It is rumored in the capital that Emperor Changning is pitiful, and the marriage has been disrupted, not to mention where to put the face of the royal family and the emperor, if you lose the prince Langjun because of this, it is greatly worthless.

And the name of "the son of the king of Xiliang", which was popular a few years ago, also began to spread, and it was naturally quickly suppressed by the emperor.

Changning is noble and good-looking, and the prince of Xiliang is the peerless Langjun in the eyes of the world, most of the people feel sorry for them, and they believe in their lives, so it is rumored that the two are fated.

People's eyes are fixed on the emperor and the prince. It wasn't until three or five days later that the news of the violent death of the concubine in the Jiaotai Palace gradually spread.

Tuoba Hong tried his best, and even killed many palace maids and eunuchs in order to extinguish his mouth, but in the end he couldn't cover this matter.

After all, many courtiers heard the screams at that time, and the harem concubines saw it with their own eyes. And the most pitiful thing is one of the talents, she was too timid, when she watched the concubine hit the wall with blood and flesh splashed, and finally crawled with beetles, after leaving the Jiao Tai Palace, she fell ill and died after three days of sleep.

It's scared to death.
