Chapter 450: Red and White Weddings
The news of the Winged King's death spread throughout the court in three days, like wings.
For a while, the capital was silent.
Princess Zhunyi just escaped from marriage, ah no, "wandering" and left the capital. The news of the Winged King's encounter with robbers and his death on the border line came back.
At the same time, the crown prince in the East Palace, Liangdi Huang Jiaojiao, was "seriously ill and incurable", and Xiang Xiaoyu died.
The funeral in the East Palace was only half done, and the women of the capital went to send the funeral and did their best, and they saw Emperor Jianming striding into the Lizheng Hall with a blue face.
Thinking of the rumor that the "Wing King is dead" that they just knew, everyone looked at each other, quickly found excuses one by one, and left the East Palace.
The queen mother was sitting in the back, whimpering and weeping with Mrs. Le Kangbo, the crown princess Ye, and the crown prince Liangyuan Lai.
Emperor Jianming easily suppressed his angry temper and rigidly ordered people: "Please ask the queen to speak." ”
The little chamberlain was in a cold sweat from his back to his chest, and hurriedly went to pass on His Majesty's message.
Lu Chun chased in, panting and whispering: "Don't worry!" I don't know if the news is really yet! If you say that the Winged King is dead at this time, then he is out there, and he must be ...... alive."
Where can Emperor Jianming take care of these at this time?
glared at Lu Chun angrily, and roared angrily: "Get out!! ”
The guards who had just been changed in the East Palace, including Lu Chun himself, were so frightened that they fell to the ground on their knees: "Your Majesty is angry......
Empress Shao was in the inner hall, and she clearly heard the roar, and the little chamberlain who came in to spread the word had already collapsed on the ground with a pop, and she only felt that her throat was also a little dry.
Mrs. Le Comber stood up, lowered her eyes to wipe her tears, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's edict, you don't care about your concubines......"
Her head was pressed low, making it impossible to see the anger and pain at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, as well as a hint of "God has opened her eyes".
However, it was clear that things did not happen as she had hoped.
Empress Shao came back after a circle, with only a slight discomfort and embarrassment on her face, she smiled reluctantly, and held a handkerchief to hold the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes: "Your Majesty said that Huang Liangdi died young, it is really a pity, let the position of Liangdi be given to her alone." also said that in the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, Huang Liangdi should be posthumously crowned as a concubine. ”
Mrs. Lecomber was silent for a moment, bowed her head and kneeled, and thanked Lord Long.
Empress Shao naturally had something to say to her.
Emperor Jianming also "admonished" the queen: "Don't rush to stuff your son's bed!" Someone's daughter has just died, even if you are shameless, you have to take into account whether my courtiers will be cold!
"You have two sons-in-law, one is the crown prince and the other is the prince. Enough, right? Let's be safe. If I continue to make trouble, if I have the intention of killing my mother and son to prevent my relatives from sitting big, will your innocent brother and nephew directly kill you? ”
There is not a single word of the rumors of the Winged King.
Then he threw up his sleeves and walked away.
When he went out, he shouted to Lu Chun: "The queen's mother is sad that Huang Liangdi is sick and dies, and after returning to the palace, she has angina pectoris, and she is afraid that she will have to stay in bed to recuperate for a while." The affairs of the six palaces are handed over to Concubine Mei. Zhuang Yan of the palace province is also the head of the Yongchang Palace, if there is anyone in the palace who disobeys Concubine Mei, he will be killed on the spot! ”
happily put Empress Shao under house arrest.
So on this day, Queen Shao fulfilled her duties as a mother-in-law and stayed in the East Palace until the palace gate was under the key before returning to Qingning Palace. Moreover, within one day, the edict met with seven or eight wives, ladies, and mothers' families.
Except for the nephew and daughter-in-law.
Shao Shunying and Lord Wen Hui's marriage was just completed a few days ago.
The new daughter-in-law, after all, should still be a little taboo about funerals.
So Shao Shunying went to the East Palace alone to meet the prince and the queen and do some due etiquette.
As soon as the county lord of Wenhui waited for him to leave, he immediately ordered him to go back to the eldest princess's mansion to visit the eldest princess and the king of Yong'an County.
But the old lady sent by the Taiguo Mansion to serve her respectfully told him: "The house is poor, there are only three carriages, and they all go out." There is no carriage in the county lord's dowry, so you can't go. ”
Zhou Ying looked at her steadily: "Shao Shunying won't let me go out of the house?" ”
Regarding the fact that she called her husband's name directly, the old grandmother didn't even tremble at the tip of her eyebrows: "How dare you?" It's just that you, the county lord, don't have the county lord's mansion given by His Majesty. Since ancient times, if there is no family to pick up such a thing as returning to your mother's house, it will be considered a divorce. You've just gotten married, and you don't understand these taboos yet. Our little grandfather just ordered the slave and told you slowly. ”
Zhou Ying's fingers trembled: "What does Shao Shunying want to do?" ”
The old lady saw her strong inner flicker, and her waist was three points stiffer: "The little grandfather didn't think about what to do." Marry a wife, have children, and live at home. That's all. The point is, what does the county lord want to do? The news of the Tsubashi King's death has reached Beijing, and although it has not been announced, it has been confirmed by the guards who accompanied him. ”
The old lady said word by word, her eyes fixed on Zhou Ying's face.
Zhou Ying's composure could no longer be maintained, and her face turned gray.
"If the county lord is the next Duchess of Tai Guo in Ken'an, then the world is peaceful."
The old lady made a summary.
The rest of the sentence, she doesn't have to say, the dignified Lord Wenhui, how can she not understand that Bing Xue is smart?!
Zhou Ying fell to the ground softly, let the old lady walk out of the main room, and closed the door casually.
The bright scorching light outside the door was forever cut off.
The big room is cool and bone-chilling.
Zhou Ying shivered fiercely, raised her hand to hug her shoulders, and her green sleeves slid down, revealing the red and purple clenched finger marks on her forearms.
However, outsiders do not know all this.
Zhao Nan was very satisfied with this red and white funeral and the timing of the bad news entering the capital.
It's been many, many years, and she hasn't bowed her head to Zhou Jian so kindly: "You did an excellent job." ”
paused, as if teaching students, step by step: "In addition to those few places, what else have you done in the capital?" ”
Zhou Jian sat in front of her desk and rubbed his knees with his hands a little nervously: "The news of the Wing King has not spread yet, and I have specially revealed it to the Shen family, including the Chen Guogong Mansion, the cultivation workshop and the Chongxian Workshop. Now Shen Xinyan has taken too much lead in the matter of the National Bank, whether it is the prince or the king of Wei, I am afraid that he will not be able to grab it. In this way, he can only delay his pace and see if Chase can breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Zhao Nan frowned: "You mean, Shen Xinyan suggested that Your Majesty recruit the owners of various small money banks that have been crushed as the managers of the branches of the National Bank in various places, and reward them with out-of-the-box grades?" ”
"Yes. This was supposed to be a good thing for others, and that's it. However, he advised His Majesty not to use Chase people. Now Chase is forced to make a list of all the people he has used in the past, and he will not even allow them to enter the National Bank even those with the same names and surnames. Datong was so angry that he complained to others, saying that the court was targeting Datong. ”
Zhou Jian also frowned.
"Idiot!" Zhao Nan sneered, "If you don't compete with the people, you will plug his mouth!" ”
