Chapter 103: The Funeral (1)
Dongfang Chen threw down that sentence and went straight out of the door, dropped the bloody tongue, and put it in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was angry, a mouthful of blood burst out from the roar, and her body fell straight back, Aunt Roufu, who had not come back to her senses, was completely panicked, and for a while, the entire Shoukang Palace was busy again.
The Queen Mother vomited a mouthful of blood on the sickbed lingering for nearly a month, until the beginning of November, the seventh day of November is the death day of the first emperor, on this day, Shoukang Palace lifted the ban, the Praetorian Guards at the door were all withdrawn, and the Queen Mother also got up from the sickbed general, and changed into a long skirt with Shiqing silver silk peony tuanhua Su embroidery, but the body was thin, and it was no longer the same as before, and it couldn't support the clothes at all.
After Roufu served the queen mother to freshen up and eat, the palace maid behind her took the things prepared for the sacrifice and went to the Qin'an Palace, and at the same time, Dongfang Chen and Wei Qingguan put on the official auspicious clothes and auspicious crowns, and went to the Qin'an Palace to worship.
When the three of them appeared in the Qin'an Hall together, the Queen Mother's face was extremely ugly, especially after seeing Wei Qingguan's already bulging lower abdomen, her eyes were even more resentful.
Wei Qingguan also noticed the Queen Mother's eyes that were eager to dig out her heart, but she smiled contemptuously, deliberately, she straightened her waist and raised her bulging belly a little higher in front of the Queen Mother, with a smile on her face.
Dongfang Chen on the side seemed to notice Wei Qingguan's movements, pulled her sleeve with his hand, signaled her not to mess around, and pulled Wei Qingguan to his side, protecting him, a simple action, made the Queen Mother grit her teeth with hatred.
In the Qin'an Palace, several mages had already put everything to be prepared in place, Dongfang Chen knelt on the futon at the front, four kowtows, a stick of incense, several novices recited the mantra of the past on the side, the Queen Mother knelt on one side, Wei Qingguan's body was bulky, only standing with her stomach upright, silently looking ahead, countless spiritual positions she had never seen, and saw the familiar three words of Dongfang Yan in it.
My heart was sour, but I had to hold back my tears, and I couldn't suppress my anger!
Banxia, who was holding her on the side, seemed to have discovered Wei Qingguan's actions, and reached out to pull her to signal slightly, Wei Qingguan gritted his teeth and patted her hand gently.
After reciting the mantra of the past life, Dongfang Chen got up from the futon, put paper money under the brazier in front of him, and after it was burned, he hurriedly came to Wei Qingguan's side, and the queen mother, who had never spoken since entering the Qin'an Palace, opened her mouth at this time and asked Dongfang Chen.
"Tao Yao used to enter the palace to worship the first emperor, why didn't he come this year?"
Speaking of which, since the epidemic, how long has she not seen Dongfang Taoyao, and she has not even heard of Xin'er, which is unreasonable!
The Queen Mother couldn't think about it, so she only looked at Dongfang Chen with vigilant eyes, and said sharply, "Dongfang Chen, what happened to Taoyao?" As soon as the words came out, there was a movement under his feet, and he stepped forward and asked.
Dongfang Chen seemed to be out of inertia, and protected Wei Qingguan behind him, and then blocked the distance between him and the Queen Mother with his hand, and frowned in disgust, "Tao Yao hurt his muscles and bones that day, and the imperial doctor let him rest in the mansion, and he has not entered the palace for many days. ”
As he spoke, he threw the letter hidden in his sleeve into the hands of the Queen Mother, who unfolded the envelope and looked up and down carefully twice before she was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Qingguan couldn't stand it, didn't want to look at her anymore, turned around and left the Qin'an Palace, and the Queen Mother also returned to Shoukang Palace with Roufu, before leaving, the Queen Mother glanced at Wei Qingguan's unusually piercing belly, and couldn't wait to go directly to the front and flatten it.
In the middle of the long street, Wei Qingguan followed behind Dongfang Chen, waved off the sedan chair and walked slowly, the things tied to her stomach made her a little uncomfortable, and she walked very slowly.
"It can be delayed for a while, but it can't be delayed for a lifetime, the emperor can still bluff her with a family letter today, but there is another half moon is the winter solstice, and there is a banquet in the winter solstice palace, if the eldest princess doesn't come again, what do you say about the past?"
With Gu's temperament, she is the most meticulous, especially in Dongfang Taoyao, even if Dongfang Chen detains Gu's and doesn't let her enter and leave the inner palace, on the day of the family banquet, can she still be detained, and on that day, Dongfang Taoyao will not appear again, and Gu will not fry the pot.
From the day Dongfang Chen agreed to Dongfang Taoyao's request, Wei Qingguan was against it in his heart. When Wei Qingguan walked cautiously holding on to his slightly heavy belly, Dongfang Chen said softly on the side, "Do you know why Tao Yao has to foster these two children under your name and be your children?" ”
Wei Qingguan shook his head, he really didn't know, this princess had always been whimsical, arrogant and willful, and no one knew what she was thinking. "On the day of the winter solstice, it is the seventieth birthday of the first emperor, and the vassal kings from all over the country will return to Beijing to pay tribute to the emperor in the imperial tomb, and the same is true for the eight emperors. The queen mother has been close to the Eighth Emperor all these years, and wants to use the troops in his hands to support the new emperor and abolish me.
In the past, she had been looking forward to Tao Yao having children, but I had not let her get her wish, and now, if the queen mother knew that Tao Yao had a child, she would definitely not give up, Tao Yao knew that she thought of such a way to protect these two children.
Recently, the Gu family has cut off contact with the Eighth Emperor Lord, and he is only afraid that he is waiting for the winter solstice family banquet with anticipation, since Jing'er was named the King of Linjiang, they are nameless, if they know that Tao Yao has a son in the womb at this moment, they will inevitably rebel in the name of the emperor who is fascinated by the demon queen Qingjun, at this time, Wei Qingguan rumored that he has a child, but he is afraid that the Eighth Emperor will be sad in his heart like eight claws scratching his heart.
"The Gu family thought that having the right would give Dongfang Taoyao the best protection, but Dongfang Taoyao didn't need these, and even thought that these were burdens, this mother and daughter were really ......" Wei Qingguan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Dongfang Chen's words.
Caring for each other without saying a word, they just stepped slowly towards the Chengfeng Palace, beside the cold wind blowing in the middle of the road, the two of them didn't know that there was a pair of resentful eyes, staring at Wei Qingguan's stomach deadly......
The earth dragon in the Chengfeng Hall has already burned, the house is warm as spring, the charcoal stove in the inner room is still warm with the long-summer stewed cordyceps flower duck soup, the most is the most nourishing yin and nourishing things for the liver and kidneys, Dongfang Chen detoured back to the Taihe Hall to review the folds, Wei Qingguan just returned to the inner hall, changed out of the heavy auspicious clothes, and was about to untie the objects tied to the stomach, but saw the Bang Chun outside hurriedly entered, and replied, "Niangniang, the little lady handed the post into the palace, and was waiting outside the palace gate at the moment, the post said, last night, the eldest lady went!" ”
A thunderbolt on a sunny day exploded in Wei Qingguan's heart.
Banxia's hand that was going to help Wei Qingguan untie her belt also stopped at her waist, and the whole person no longer had any movement.
Wei Jiang's family, Wei Qingguan hasn't heard these three words for a long time, and suddenly Wei Jiang's family is gone, and she was also stunned.
Shao Qinglian rarely enters the palace, it can be regarded as avoiding suspicion, occasionally I hear about Wei Jiang's words, but she has been lingering on the sickbed, and she has used a lot of medicine, even twice, the imperial doctor in the palace also went, but Wei Yiming was not angry, and the broken leg became more and more out of control, fighting and causing trouble, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and all five poisons, and finally Wei Mian was really angry and sent it to the family temple, and since then, she has become more and more ill.
Banxia found a long skirt with water red sprinkled gold acacia embroidery and trimmed placket and put it on Wei Qingguan's body, the shirt was newly made, covering the bulging belly and slightly loose, when Shao Qinglian came in, the cold air on her body breathed a long sigh of relief under the pleasant warmth in the house, and then she looked back at Wei Qingguan about what happened.
After the winter, Wei Jiang's body became worse and worse, and his cough disease recurred, and he was taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor and has been carefully recuperating. But her mind was too heavy, and she kept worrying about it, and she couldn't evacuate, so she became more and more sick.
On that day, the eldest girl in her room had a broken mouth, and told her about Wei Tingcheng's assassination of the Queen Mother and being beaten into the cold palace, she was anxious, and coughed up a mouthful of blood, and it became more and more difficult at night, the old lady looked at Wei Jiang's appearance, and asked people to take the eldest son locked in the family temple back and wanted to say that their mother and son would meet again.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yiming's bastard escaped from the family temple early, and he was in the gambling stall of Qing~Lou, and when he was caught, he lost his red eyes, and his first action was to take Wei Jiang's jewelry box to pawn, Wei Mian was so angry that he had to have someone tie him up, carry Wei Jiang's back, break his other leg, and don't let him go out and be embarrassed. 》≠miào》≠bi》≠gé》≠,
After that, Wei Jiang's family had a lot of gas out and little air intake, and in the middle of the night last night, he couldn't get through it anymore, so he hurried away.
After Wei Qingguan heard this, he only sighed, he was looking forward to the son he was spoiling, and in the end he became like this, Wei Jiang's life, heh......
"The day of the burial was set three days later, the old lady said, knowing that the queen mother does not like the eldest lady, but in the end it is also a mother and daughter, no matter how there is the kindness of the October pregnancy, if the queen mother can, she will go to send the lady a send, only to be the blood between the flesh and blood, as for Wei Concubine Niangniang, if you can, please also ask the queen mother to be gracious, let her out of the cold palace, see the last side of the eldest lady, and not let them regret it."
When Shao Qinglian came, the old lady told Wei Qingguan word for word, and then respectfully waited for Wei Qingguan's answer.
In just a few months, Shao Qinglian's posture is full of atmosphere, she is not flustered when encountering problems, she speaks calmly and introvertedly, and she has honed her extraordinary qualifications, and she is a woman of all her life.
Wei Qingguan nodded to himself, "Grandmother's words, the palace should be down, when the emperor comes back, he will inevitably ask the emperor first, the palace is now bulky, not more convenient than before, the little lady went back and told her grandmother, if the emperor agrees, the funeral must travel, as for Wei Concubine......"
Wei Jiang's family used to love Wei Tingcheng the most, thinking about it, the biggest wish before death should also be to see her, after thinking for a while, he continued, "If the palace returns to the house, it will inevitably bring Wei Concubine with me, and I have already mourned!" ”
