Chapter 135: Mourning

The queen's illness dragged on through the New Year, and then dragged on the Shangyuan Festival. Everyone inside and outside the palace thought that since the imperial doctor said that the winter would be good, it was already the New Year, and maybe it would be good. It's a pity that on the fourth night after Shangyuan, the queen quietly swallowed her last breath in Fengyi Palace.

The queen is only in her forties this year, but she has worked too hard over the years, and when she died, she had endured a long period of illness, and her appearance looked old and thin, more like an old woman than the Empress Dowager Shengci. The four princesses cried to death, and the third prince lost his mother.

The Queen's funeral was exhausting for everyone. Originally, it was the Chinese New Year, Shangyuan, there were many and complicated things, and the people were almost consumed, and the queen went like this, and by the way, she brought several elderly concubines in the harem who had bad head and bones, two or three elders in the clan, and courtiers and family members on the road together.

The sixth princess was heavy, and the month was approaching, so she rested in the side hall, and she took Xiao Dong as a companion. It's warmer in the side hall, you can sit down and have a cup of hot tea and snacks. Xiao Dong was sick first, and then caught up with this incident, the original plump cheeks also lost weight, it seems that there is not much blood, and he is wearing a heavy filial piety, it seems that the wind can blow people away. The sixth princess is just the opposite of her, she is now round, her fingers are as fat as small white radish, her cheeks are red, where to sit, people and clothes are stacked, and they can top the volume of three small winter bundles together.

"I said, it's better for you to report your illness too, if you go on like this, your body is not good yet, and it is not fun to get sick again."

Xiao Dong nodded, feeling a faint pain in his temples.

"I think the fourth sister is also a little ......" The fourth princess's eyes were red and swollen, her throat was hoarse, and her whole person was about to disappear.

"You're worried about her." The sixth princess glanced at the palace gate and beckoned to Xiao Dong: "Come here." ”

Xiao Dong hesitated a little and moved over to sit next to her.

"She's a person who is used to doing superficial work. Do you think she's really so sad? There must also be tricks on her handkerchief, and she is sincerely sad, so the third brother is alone. ”

Also...... The fourth princess was not born to the queen, and she should have remembered it when she was raised in front of her. The queen treats her with face, the situation of the fourth princess is very delicate, how much more affection can she expect her to treat the queen?

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a palace man helped the fifth princess to walk in, Xiao Dong also helped in the past, and was startled as soon as he touched his hand, the hands of the five princesses were as cold as ice tuo, there was no trace of heat, and then look at her face, her lips were purple.

"What's going on? Quick, help her lie down and pour her a cup of hot tea. Xiao Dong turned around and ordered: "Go and ask a doctor to come." ”

The fifth princess had her eyes closed, but suddenly she groaned.

Her fingers were thin, grasping Xiao Dong's wrist, and she didn't know where she got the strength, and she held it as tightly as pliers: "No, don't ask for a doctor...... I'm fine......"

"Are you okay like this? These days, the imperial doctor is waiting in the room in turn, so call one to come and show you. ”

"No" The expression of the fifth princess was very sad, and her long nails were pinched into Xiao Dong's flesh: "I don't want to be too doctor"

The sixth princess snorted: "Okay, Xiaodong is back, sit down honestly." Her life was her own, and she didn't want to see her go. ”

Although the words were cold, the sixth princess was also worried in her words.

But the fifth princess insisted, and Xiaoli couldn't fight with her. The palace people poured hot tea to feed her, and the fifth princess wrapped herself in a blanket, curled up, her face facing the wall, and did not talk to Xiao Dong and the sixth princess.

Looking at her as if everything was lost, Xiao Dong wondered in his heart. Just looking at this situation, others must think that the fifth princess is the queen's own daughter.

Or did the queen's departure arouse her sadness of losing her husband again?

It's possible.

"Let's let the family rest here for a while, let's go sit over there."

The sixth princess stood up, staggering a little unsteadily, Xiao Li hurriedly supported her, and when she went out, she couldn't help but look back.

The fifth princess lay there motionless.

Bypassing the cloister, which is farther away from the main hall, the crying is not so real. The snow here is unswept away, and it is smooth and tight by people who come and go, and when the sun shines, the bright light is reflected in the eyes. The sixth princess stretched out her hand and took two steps into the door.

"These people are also lazy, the queen is so unsuccessful, she doesn't even sweep the snow."

"There's a lot to do, so I can't take care of it."

The sixth princess nodded and looked at the sky outside: "It's still half an hour, why don't you rely on it for a while?" ”

"No," Xiao Dong said softly, "I still want to go to the Changchun Palace." ”

"There is no shortage of you in the Queen Mother." The sixth princess said: "Are there fewer people who want to go to the queen mother to be courteous? Besides, there are a lot of people out there, so you might as well be here with me. Alas, how can this waist be sore. ”

The sixth princess also lay down on the couch, and the palace people gently kneaded it for her. Xiao Dong was very tired and rested on the table.

The sixth princess turned her head slightly, just in time to see half of Xiao Dong's exposed face.

The sixth princess was a little stunned in her heart.

When she was young before, she also thought about it, she wanted to change with Xiaodong, she didn't want to be this princess. The mother concubine was not happy, and accompanied the Queen Mother, the Emperor and Empress Ming Guifei and others everywhere with careful flattery. Although she is a princess, she is neither as decent as the fourth princess raised in front of the queen, nor as smart and beautiful as the fifth princess to win the emperor's favor, she is a superfluous person. Xiaodong wears what she wears, and even she can't use it. Although Xiaodong has no mother, she has a father who loves her like that, and a brother who always puts his sister first-

I don't know how much stronger than her.

Later, when I grew up, the thoughts of those little children stopped thinking. Anyway, she is her, Xiao Dong is Xiao Dong, and it is impossible for the two of them to switch positions. And the director knows that Xiaodong has a good temper and is a loyal person, so he is not as calculating as others, and he can hide two or three sets in a sentence.

She turned her head and waved her hand to signal the palace people to stand back.

However, later she heard that Xiaodong was probably the emperor's daughter and a princess.

A few years ago, the third prince had an "accident", and there was a stiff quarrel between the emperor and the queen over this matter. The sixth princess remembered that she overheard the people of the old palace secretly talking about it, and the queen mother bit Xiao Dong and Yao Jinfeng and refused to let go, not only because she was distressed that the third prince was injured, but also because the person the emperor liked was Xiao Dong's mother Yao Qingyuan, who had no affection for the queen for a long time, and it seemed that Yao Qingyuan's death had something to do with the queen.

The sixth princess remembered very clearly, and one of them said: "Actually, Prince An's younger brother has achieved both loyalty and righteousness, and even his daughter has raised ...... for the emperor."

She had just woken up from a nap, and she hadn't understood what it meant for a long time.

It was only later that she slowly figured it out.

Isn't Xiaodong the daughter of King An? Is it the child born to his father and Yao Qingyuan?

Then Xiaodong is not her cousin, but her sister?

Of course, maybe the palace people are just speculating and guessing.

But—no wind, no waves.

If my father didn't have anything to do with Yao Qingyuan back then, these people wouldn't have been able to create rumors out of thin air.

Besides, the sixth princess pondered this matter herself-who would dare to marry a woman that the emperor liked? Who can marry? Even if King An is the emperor's own brother, then it won't work, right? Besides, everyone said that King An had a deep affection for Princess Shen in front of her, and after she passed away, she also said that she would not marry a wife again, why did she turn around and marry Yao Qingyuan again?

I'm afraid that this matter will be true. It should be Yao Qingyuan and his father who broke the thread, so that the bead fetus was secretly knotted. In order to give the child a decent and decent background, Uncle An Wang took the top for his father and raised Xiaodong as his daughter.

The sixth princess didn't know how many thoughts were churning in her heart, and she took a nap. In a trance, I felt that I was back when I was not married, and I was still living in the Yilan Palace. The fourth princess and the fifth princess refused to pay attention to her, and she didn't like it, anyway, she also had a younger sister. That sister is vaguely Xiaodong's appearance, very well-behaved, and keeps calling her sister, the two sisters are compatible, and they are together everywhere all the time.

When the sixth princess woke up, Xiao Dong was no longer around. She asked the palace people, and the palace people said: "The county lord was passed on by the queen mother." ”

The sixth princess nodded, not fully awake for a while.

"Does the princess want to eat tea?"

"Pour me a glass of water."

The palace man answered.

The sixth princess thought about the situation in her dream and couldn't help but spit on herself ridiculously.

However, if Xiao Dong is really his sister and grew up in the palace together...... Maybe it's not a bad thing.

She touched her belly, she didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, but neither she nor Luo Wei were quiet people, this child was also a lively person, kicking and punching from time to time, as if she was in a hurry to come up with it.

If he is a boy, teach him to be a good brother and take care of his younger siblings in the future. If it's a girl, it's definitely a domineering sister, but that's fine......

Thinking like this, the sixth princess was also a little impatient, wishing that this child would be born in the full moon earlier, so as to see what he looked like.

When Xiaodong got home at night, she only felt that all the bones on her body were scattered, her hair, clothes, nostrils, and throat were full of dirty fumes from the day's inhalation.

Qin Lie took off the knee pads for her, took off her shoes and socks for her, and asked softly, "How do you feel about your body?" ”

Xiao Dong didn't even bother to hum, spread out his hands and feet and lay motionless, Hongfu brought hot tea to her to drink, and twisted a hand towel to wipe it for her, and rested for a while before relieving herself. Even she rested for most of the day, and I don't know what the people who knelt outside were like.

"It's good that I don't have to go tomorrow." Qin Lie whispered in her ear, "You have a good rest." He rubbed Xiao Dong's hand, and suddenly saw two red marks on his wrist.

"Hmm...... The Queen Mother said the same. Xiao Dong said casually: "Today, the fifth princess frightened me, her face was extremely ugly, and she didn't want the imperial doctor to see it." ”

Qin Lie said, "Where did your hand hurt?" ”

Xiao Dong was so tired that his brain froze: "Ah...... I can't remember it either. ”

My son was sick and uncomfortable, and he lost his temper all day long, and his eyes were red from crying.
