The sound of the cloud board continued to knock, and the wails were everywhere, as if the clouds and thunder were hovering overhead, making people suffocated and awe-inspired.

The country has a great funeral, and the world knows it.

Qing Sakura leaned over the crowd, kowtowed, got up, leaned over, kowtowed, the tears in her eyes flowed numbly, like a spring that never dried up, but there was not a drop, it was really a sorrow from the heart.

For the person in the golden coffin, whether he is alive or dead, he really can't arouse too much joy and sorrow from Qingying. He is nothing more than the father of his husband, the first emperor of the dynasty, and even, the man who abandoned his cousin.

Thinking of this, Qing Ying shuddered, and was faintly happy. Once the palace became a Qianlong mansion, his husband ruled the world, all thanks to the death of this man. As soon as this thought turned, Qing Ying quietly raised her eyes to look at the other wives and concubines Gege (1) - no, they are all concubines now, but their names are undecided.

Qingying was stunned, and then lowered her eyebrows and knelt behind Fujin in order, behind her was Gao Xiyue, who was on an equal footing with her, the same vegetarian body, the same pear blossoms with rain, and she was very sad.

Suddenly, there was a slight commotion in front of him, and a maid exclaimed in a low voice: "The master has fainted!" ”

Qing Ying knelt in front of her, and immediately stepped forward on her knees, following to support the fainting Fucha clan. Gao Xiyue also came up and said anxiously: "The master has been kneeling all night, I'm afraid I'm tired." Hurry up and inform the emperor and the queen mother. ”

At this time, the queen mother and the emperor were tired and had already settled in another palace. Qing Ying glanced at Xiyue, and said loudly to everyone: "The master is too sad, quickly help her to go to the side hall to rest." Su Xin, you are the one who serves the master's mother, you go and report it, and say that we are serving here, and there is no need to ask the emperor and the queen mother to come overnight. ”

Xiyue glanced at Qing Ying, not wanting to say more. Qing Ying didn't bother to argue with her, so she first supported the Fucha clan, and waited for the quick-eyed little eunuch to carry the soft sedan chair, and hugged the Fucha clan into the side hall.

Xi Yue wanted to follow up and serve, Qing Ying's posture swayed, she stopped sideways, and said softly: "There can't be no one to preside over here, the queen mother and the concubines have gone to rest, the master Niangniang and I go in, and my sister is the side Fujin (2) with the highest rank." ”

Xiyue's eyes were like waves, and she shallow towards the green cherry, a trace of untaminess flashed in her gentle eyes, and she whispered softly: "My sister and I are both side blessings, how dare I not follow the master's side?" She paused, "Moreover, when the master wakes up, she may not like to see her sister." ”

Qing Ying smiled and said nothing, looked at her and said indifferently: "Sister naturally understands. ”

Xi Yue bit her lip slightly: "I hope I can always understand." ”

She took two steps back, knelt down again, and wept bitterly towards the golden coffin of the first emperor, like a pear blossom in the clear rain, low and soft branches, infinitely sad.

Qing Sakura glanced at her before turning into the curtain, and she didn't feel a sigh, how could there be such a woman? It's as soft as a mist and light clouds, even sad, so beautiful that people can't bear to take their eyes off.

Qing Ying turned to the side hall, Su Xin and Lianxin had already helped Fucha to lie on the couch, and one by one wiped his face for Fucha and fluttered the fan. Qing Ying hurriedly instructed the eunuch who was accompanying her, and advised: "Immediately bring hot water, although in September, don't let the master wipe her face and catch a cold." Lianxin, you serve the master with some warm water, and be careful not to burn it. After that, he instructed his maid, "Heart, you go and open the window to breathe, so many people are stuffy, I'm afraid that the mother will be even more uncomfortable." The Imperial Doctor has already gone to invite him, right? ”

Yi Xin hurriedly agreed: "Yes." I have sent someone to invite me quietly. ”

When Su Xin heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked: "The master is unwell, why do you have to ask a doctor to be sneaky?" ”

Qing Ying smiled and turned her face: "The girl doesn't know, it's not sneaky." It's that Sister Fang Caigao's words are bad. ”

Su Xin was quite puzzled, and even more suspicious: "Is it bad? ”

Qing Ying didn't want to say much to her, so she took a few steps forward and watched the eunuchs come in with hot water, and her heart leaned sideways beside Su Xin, gentle and measured: "Fang Cai Yue Fujin said that the master Niangniang fainted when she was tired......"

Su Xin wanted to ask again, but the Fucha clan had already woken up slowly, and said lightly: "Confused! ”

Lian Xin looked happy, and stroked her heart for the Fucha clan and said, "Do you want to drink some more water?" It's time to moisten your throat after crying all night. ”

Fucha slowly drank a sip of water, even if he was uncomfortable and didn't want to mess up his sideburns, he stroked his hand, and then slowly sat up straight and said, "Confused! Don't ask the side Fujin to sit down. ”

Qing Ying heard that the Fucha clan had woken up, and she had already stood aside with her head bowed, and said respectfully: "The master is awake." ”

Fucha smiled: "Master Niangniang? Only the queen can afford this title, and the emperor has not yet made a canonization ceremony, is this title too early? ”

Qingying is neither humble nor arrogant: "The master is Mingjian." The emperor has ascended the throne in front of the first emperor, although he has not officially canonized the queen, but the master is the emperor's hair, and she is naturally a legitimate queen. Now it is inappropriate to call Fujin again, but there is no will to call the queen directly, so I have to compromise and call the master Niangniang first. Qing Ying saw that the Fucha clan just didn't make a sound, so she made a big salute, "Master Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Fucha didn't scream either, but sighed leisurely: "In this way, I still called you side Fujin, but I wronged you." ”

Qing Ying lowered her head: "Side Fujin and Gege are concubines, and they are all awarded by the master Niangniang under the leadership of the six palaces. The concubine body is indeed still a side blessing at this time, and the master Niangniang has not wronged the concubine. ”

Fucha smiled and looked at Qing Ying carefully: "Qing Ying, are you so leaky, and there is no trace of misseams?" ”

Qing Ying lowered her head more and more, and said softly: "The concubine's body has been preserved without fault, and it is all up to the master to teach Gu Quan." ”

Fucha stared for a moment and said gently, "Get up." He asked again, "Su Xin, is Yue Fujin watching outside?" ”

Su Xin hurriedly said: "Yes." ”

Fucha glanced at the hall and sighed: "It was arranged by Qingfujin, right?" Sure enough, everything fell into place. Seeing that Su Xin was a little unconvinced, she looked at Qing Ying and said, "You did a very good job, Yue Fujin said that I was tired...... Alas, I should set an example for the harem women, how can I be tired and faint in front of everyone? I'm afraid that those villains who love to make waves will chew their tongues and say that I am lazy and disrespectful to the emperor. In front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor in Japan, how can I afford it? ”

Qing Ying bowed: "The concubine understands that the master Niangniang fainted because of the death of the first emperor." Sister Gao only cares about affection, so she will lose her words. ”

Fucha breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "Finally, you still understand things." Her gaze wandered at Qing Sakura, "It's just, do you have to be so watertight in your dealings?" ”

Qing Ying whispered: "The concubine serves the master, and she doesn't dare not be unsatisfied." ”

The Fucha clan seemed to praise it: "In the end, it is the descendant of the Ulanala clan, meticulous and thoughtful." ”

Qing Ying faintly guessed what Fucha was referring to, only to feel a chill on her back, and she didn't dare to say more.

Fucha looked at her and said nothing. Qing Sakura only felt depressed and sad, and this silence was more sad than the occasional overt or covert fight between wives and concubines in the Hidden Mansion (3).

The air was like gelling, and Lianxin served a bowl of ginseng soup at the right time: "The master drinks some ginseng soup to refresh himself, and the imperial doctor will be coming soon." ”

Fucha took the ginseng soup, took a silver spoon and stirred it slowly, his expression was as steady as Mount Tai: "Now that you have entered the palace, you are also a family, don't you go to see the one in Jingren Palace?" ”

Qingying said: "The first emperor died, and the queen mother did not have a decree to let Jingren Palace Niangniang go out of the palace for funeral, and the concubines naturally could not see each other." ”

Fucha smiled slightly, and put down the ginseng soup: "If there is fate, we will naturally meet." ”

Blue Sakura can not interface more and more. Fucha He had seen her like this, and he was slightly proud in his heart, and his face looked better.

The two of them were silent, and the clapping outside rang out continuously, which was the secret signal of the emperor's attendants before he came in, reminding the palace people to prepare as soon as possible.

Sure enough, the emperor came first. Fucha's aura weakened, and he called in a low voice: "Your Majesty ......"

Qing Ying saluted: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

The emperor didn't look at her either, only raised his hand and said casually: "Get up." ”

Qing Ying got up and retreated to the door, raised her face, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace also followed.

The emperor walked quickly to the side of the couch and pressed Fucha's hand: "Lang, I'm tired of you." ”

Tears flashed in Fucha's eyes, and the tenderness became stronger: "It's the incompetence of the concubines that makes the emperor worried." ”

The emperor said softly: "You have been weak since you gave birth to Yonglian and Hejing, and now you have to preside over the funeral and take care of all the things in the harem, which makes you tired." ”

The Fucha clan was a little weak, and said in a low voice: "The two younger sisters of Xiyue and Qingying are very able to help the concubines. ”

The Emperor patted the back of her hand: "That's good." The emperor pointed behind him, "I heard that you were not feeling well, so I couldn't help but come, and I happened to urge the imperial doctor to come over and give you a closer look." ”

Fucha said: "Thank you for the emperor's care." ”

Qing Ying stood outside, and she didn't dare to go far for a while, just thinking about the emperor's appearance, she just glanced at it, and at this moment it was clearly imprinted in her mind.

Because of the mourning, the emperor did not shave his hair and beard, and his eyes were bloodshot, thinking that he had not slept well. Thinking of this festival, Qing Ying didn't feel distressed, and whispered to her heart: "The emperor is tired, I'm afraid it's a false fire, you go stew some white fungus lotus seed soup and send it to the emperor's palace every day." Remember, be quiet. ”

He promised to step back. It just so happened that the emperor brought someone out, and Qing Yingfu saluted again: "Congratulations to the emperor, the emperor is safe." ”

The Emperor glanced at his attendants, and how clever they were, immediately stood still like mud-born puppets. The emperor took two steps forward, and Qing Sakura silently followed. Emperor Fang said quietly: "Am I ugly? ”

Qing Ying wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she had to bite her lip and hold back. The two glanced at each other, and Qing Ying said, "Take care of the emperor." ”

The emperor also happened to say, "Qing Ying, take care." ”

Qing Ying's heart moved, and she looked at the emperor infatuatedly. The emperor glanced back, and it was also tender: "I still have to go ahead, don't be tired of yourself." ”

Qing Sakura said "yes". Seeing that the emperor was far away, the attendants of the imperial car also followed closely, only to feel a sudden warmth in his heart, and slowly smiled.
