Chapter 402: Joy in Sorrow Chapter 403: In the Dinggong (Recommended Votes Plus Update)
The emperor's death was silent, and no one knew when the emperor died, but it was only in the morning when the palace people changed people that they found that something was wrong with the emperor: that is, his face was a little abnormal, and the others were no different from falling asleep, and there was no pain on his face.
Because the emperor was so ill for a long time, that his breathing was sometimes as heavy as a bellows, and sometimes so light that it was almost impossible to see that he was still breathing; Or the palace maid who is usually very favored by the emperor is not at ease, so she touched the emperor's hand when she tucked the corner of the emperor's quilt, and the cold and stiff feeling made her lose her calm immediately, she slowly knelt down and reached into the emperor's nose at the same time, and sure enough, there was no breathing.
The imperial physician was immediately summoned, and then they announced the emperor's death in a trembling voice: some of them fainted to the ground, and some of them stood with straight eyes, only one of the imperial doctors could still say a word, and immediately the people inside and outside the Fengyuan Hall knelt down: "Congratulations to the emperor-" This voice ended the emperor's life, and he didn't even have anyone by his side in the end, and of course it was impossible to leave a word.
News of the emperor's death soon spread throughout the palace, and soon no one in the palace knew about it.
Inside the Ci'an Palace.
The Queen Mother held the health soup she had to drink every morning, and today she just ate two bites when she heard about the emperor's death, she shook the bowl and turned it down from her hand, sprinkled her robe and rolled to the ground, but she didn't seem to notice.
"How is it possible, which one is cursing the emperor? It was only reported last evening that the emperor's illness had improved, and that a month or two of recuperation would be sufficient; Pull me out......" The Queen Mother didn't believe it, she slept very well and very peacefully last night, because her son's illness was about to be cured, and that joy made her smile even in her dreams.
At this moment, it was as if she had been thrown to the ground in the clouds, and she could not accept it for a moment; But it was only two sentences, although as a mother was distressed about the early death of her son, but she was a mother and the queen mother in the palace, and she stopped herself. Even if she could control it slightly, her eyes were still a little dazed.
"Pull people out, send a decree to sound the death knell, and change into plain clothes in the palace; Xuan several old princes and Shangshu came to see the mourning family. The Queen Mother's voice became much weaker, and after finishing speaking, she waved her hand lightly: "You all go out, let Shang Yi change the clothes of the mourning family, and prepare a car to drive the mourning family to see off the emperor in person." β
Stability is important now, and the Queen Mother knows this very well; So even if she was saddened by the death of her son, she didn't have time to cry until the big event was decided; Be sad, but also after the new emperor settles down.
The imperial concubine in Yongning Palace was also in a good mood early this morning, and she deliberately chose a big red flower to put on her head, but because of the death knell in the palace, her hand slipped, and the flower fell on the table; On the well-dressed face in the mirror, there were already two crystal tears.
But the strange thing is that there is a faint smile on the tearful face.
"It's gone, it's finally gone." She muttered, "You've been happy ever since." β
Yongle Palace.
When the death knell reached the Yongle Palace, Concubine Li's face changed greatly, her eyes were moist, but she didn't forget to order: "Quickly invite the two princes." "She's going to get her son to do some work.
Yongfu Palace.
Concubine Rou was combing her long hair, her hair was indeed black and bright, and she was very loved by the emperor; And when she combs her long hair, she can make her heart the most calm.
When the death knell came, her hand paused slightly, and then continued to comb it: "Prepare plain clothes, someone will send mourning clothes in a while, don't give a reward; Remove all the decorations in the palace and replace them with white silk, and remove the lanterns. "The emperor is still going after all, and the only thing she can rely on in the future is herself, and there is not much time for her to plan for the future.
East Palace.
The prince left before dawn and went to the imperial study, which made the princess extremely unhappy, and later someone reminded her that she knew that Hongluan did not stay in the imperial study, and the prince did not go to Hongluan to make her mood improve slightly; But when he thought that the prince had gone to Yuanhua last night, he was annoyed again.
If it's Zixuan or Xian Xian, it's fine, you can call it and find an excuse to reprimand you for venting your evil anger, but Yuanhua is the queen mother's person, so she can only sulk if she has any scruples; Thinking about a few good women and good women in the East Palace, only Xian Xian can enter her eyes.
Except for meeting the prince when everyone was there, she stayed in her palace at other times, or came to chat with the princess when the prince was away; Even when she saw the prince when she was with everyone, she was quiet and didn't say a word, and never did anything to attract the prince's attention.
This is what the crown princess likes about her. Since she couldn't summon Yuan Hua to scold, the crown princess sighed: "Summoning Xian Xian Liangdi over to accompany the crown princess for breakfast in a while." Although she doesn't talk much, her soft voice is comfortable to listen to, and she is very comforting, and it is not bad for her to unravel herself - this is the princess's idea.
As long as the crown princess is unhappy, even if she has taught Liangdi, Liangyuan and others who caused her unhappiness, she will call Xian Xian to speak; When Slim Slim leaves, she will be in a good mood.
Concubine Liang didn't fail to remind her not to get too close to Xian Xian, not to say everything to Xian Xian, but the crown princess gradually threw Liang Concubine's words to the back of her mind: Xian Xian is good at understanding her, and she is very well-behaved and never does anything that makes her unhappy, especially rare that she never suggests anything to the crown princess.
No matter how the crown princess came to her, she just listened and only comforted, but never said a word about what the crown princess should do; In Xian Xian's own words: "The crown princess is the master of the East Palace, how to deal with things naturally has the reason of the crown princess, how can others rude and interject?" β
Therefore, in addition to the people who are close to the crown princess in the East Palace, the person who believes in her most is Xian Xian; Of course, it's not unsuspecting, because the slender bottom is a beautiful embryo.
Hearing the princess's order, someone went to invite Xian Xian; The sound of the death knell reached the East Palace, and the crown princess stood up in shock, and then the joy in her eyes and face could not be concealed: Yesterday she was still worried that she would have to wait until the time to do it, but she didn't expect to be so surprised today.
Xian Xian hurriedly entered, and the joy on the princess's face certainly fell into her eyes, but she didn't seem to see it at all, and Shi Li said sadly: "Is it the emperor who has ......?"
"yes;" The crown princess finally held back her joy and tried her best to make a sad face: "You go back and change your clothes quickly, I am still busy here, so I won't leave you for breakfast today." After speaking, he couldn't wait for Xian Xian to withdraw, so he ordered: "Quickly ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come back." "At the moment, of course, their husband and wife must do a good job of accounting, and it is most important to correct their positions as soon as possible.
Chapter 403: In the Dinggong Palace
"No need to send someone to look for it, I'm back." The prince stepped in and casually handed the untied big tong to Bing'er who came up: "Change clothes." He was in a hurry to go to Fengyuan Palace, but he had to come back to change his clothes once, otherwise he would go directly to Fengyuan Palace.
Now his clothes are arranged by the princess herself, and the princess likes some bright colors, fortunately, she is not wearing them outside, and the prince does look a lot more energetic when she wears them, and the prince naturally has no need to get along with the princess in such trivial matters, so it is up to her. However, he was unhappy that the crown princess would take all the things close to him, because the purpose of the princess was not to care about him, but to control him.
Don't say it's a prince, even an ordinary prince wouldn't want to be controlled by a woman; But the crown prince did not say it to the crown princess, let alone show it, and let her grasp the people and things around him step by step.
That is, the clothes prepared by the crown princess for the prince were not pure, so the prince had to go back to the East Palace to change clothes in a hurry; He saw that the crown princess certainly didn't have a good face, and of course he wasn't in the mood to pay attention to Xian Xian.
Xian Xian saw that the prince didn't want to talk much now, and at this time, as long as they didn't make trouble, they didn't say much to the prince at the moment, and they silently withdrew after a salute; The crown prince and the crown princess have long regarded her as a transparent person, and she does not have the slightest annoyance.
The crown princess never knew what to do at the time, and at this moment, any concubine of the East Palace would silently step forward to serve the prince to change clothes, but when she helped the prince change clothes, she still said more: "The time for breakfast has come, prince, you still use some things to pad your stomach before you go over; There shouldn't be anyone over there now, and it won't take much time to get something to eat, lest you'll be hungry again in the next hurry. β
The prince said coldly: "No need. Then he couldn't help but reply again: "So as not to starve the princess, if you are hungry, you should use something to rush over." β
The crown princess was overjoyed when she heard that the prince cared about her, and stepped forward and said softly: "The most important thing is to let the queen mother make the decision as soon as possible, let you take the throne in front of the spirit, and then set the back position, so there is nothing to worry about." β
The prince just nodded after looking at her, and then took the big coat that Bing'er offered and hurried away, without saying a word to the princess. Most of what the crown princess said was right, but if she didn't make breakfast and put the prince's interests first, the prince would only love her again when he heard it: husband and wife are indeed one; But the most important thing in the princess's words was her sentence "back position", which made the prince extremely unhappy.
The crown prince had just lost his father today, and even if his heart was not full of sorrow now, he still remembered the great position, but he could do this does not mean that everyone around him can do the same; And the crown princess, who is the royal daughter-in-law, does not grieve the death of the emperor, but cares about the throne, which makes the prince feel twelve points of disgust.
When the crown princess wanted to chase two steps and tell the prince to be careful, Bing'er held her: "Niangniang, you have to hurry to Fengyuan Palace, and you are the most unbearable person to be hungry, but you can't go late to make the queen mother unhappy; I've prepared your favorite dim sum for my mother, as well as soup; You drink the soup when you change clothes, and eat the snacks in the car, saying that if we are the first to arrive among the female dependents, it will show your filial piety, and the queen mother will forget what you did last night. β
The crown princess immediately nodded: "Bing'er, thanks to you, if you don't follow me, I really don't know how to deal with it." She patted Bing'er's hand: "Just do as you say, we have to hurry." She raised her voice and called: "Shuang'er, where are you dead, saying that you will be married, it's not that you haven't left the palace yet, don't you come in and serve." β
Shuang'er came in with the curtain and glanced at Bing'er: "Niangniang, we want to serve you, but with Sister Bing'er here, do you still need our clumsy girls?" Even if I follow you at the age of five, it's not as good as Sister Bing'er who can guess Niangniang's mind every time, and every method can go to Niangniang's heart. β
Bing'er went over and pulled her: "What's the matter, when it comes to serving Niangniang, I'm not as much as you; In the end, you have been with your mother for a long time. β
The crown princess frowned slightly: "Shuang'er, you are a dead girl, you know that talking about it really spoils you." Why don't you come and wait for me to change my clothesβthe matter of marriage, as long as I become a ......, doesn't it depend on your intentions at that time? You dead girl can't even figure this out? "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Shuang'er said while changing the clothes of the crown princess: "Even if you are the queen, things are not so easy to solve; When the time comes, the Queen Mother will be the Queen Mother, and she will still be pressed on your head alive; Everything, Niangniang, you still have to endure three points, as long as you are in the slave no matter what, you will not suffer too much sin. β
Bing'er stepped forward to tie the crown princess's belt: "That is, as long as you are in the middle palace, many things will be different; Although the Empress Dowager is still pressing on your head, she will still give you three points of face. β
Shuang'er glared at her: "You don't have to say a word." β
When the crown princess hurried to Fengyuan Palace, Hongluan was eating and drinking, lying on the couch and sighing; Of course, they also heard the death knell, the things that should have been removed were also removed, and the things that should have been replaced were also replaced, as for whether the palace slaves had any errands to do, she didn't say a word to prepare.
At this time, even if you make a mistake in the middle of the busy, it is better to be suspicious than to prepare properly; Right now, the palace is the most dangerous time, and the smaller the place, the more careful you have to be careful.
Xiao Shunzi came in and whispered: "The Royal Forest Army is now under the command of the prince, and the commander of the guards is infected with the wind and cold and cannot be controlled, and the guards are all under the orders of Commander Meng for the time being; The sixth bureau is now calm, and there is some movement on the side of the 12th Division, but now the chief manager is also sick, and the 12th Division is temporarily led by Liu Gonggong. β
Hongluan raised an eyebrow, this is too fast, right? There are many words about how long did the prince prepare for the bottom before he could be after the death knell rang: if the death knell does not ring, he will become a handle, I believe that the prince will not be that stupid, unless he has a large army in hand; After the death knell rang, he held the palace in his hand so quickly.
It seems that the prince has been planning everything for a long time, but there is no need to worry that the prince will be taken advantage of; But to gain the trust of the prince, she must always do something; Although the palace is Dading on the surface, but I dare not say whether there will be hands and feet in the secret, at this time there are not many important places in the palace, and Hongluan can only touch one place: the imperial study.
She immediately sat up and called Liu Er and the others to come to her: "I want to go to the imperial study to have a look, and the matter here will be left to you; But in extraordinary times, we can't afford to make mistakes here, you know? "No mistakes, no skipping words.
