When the death knell sounded in the Forbidden City, Concubine Hui was watching the snow under the eaves of Changchun Palace, and the rumbling and terrifying bell came, she was stunned and asked the palace maid next to her: "What sound?" ”

The palace maid was already pale, knelt down, and cried: "Niangniang, I'm afraid that the long-live lord will collapse." ”

Yes, this is the death knell, when the empress dowager died, the death knell that rang through the imperial city was so devastating, Concubine Hui didn't expect that the emperor walked in front of her. Their sisters once said that only those who are blessed can walk in front of the emperor, and she is destined to be unblessed in this life.

At this moment when the whole country should be mourning, Concubine Hui laughed fiercely, laughing so much that all the eunuchs and palace maids were scared to go crazy for Niangniang, but she fell down the doorpost with a smile and a smile, and her tears had burst out of the embankment, as if she had never cried so heartbreaking in her life.

In Yikun Palace, when the sick Concubine Yi heard the death knell, she had been crying all her life, but she was just crying in a daze, and Taohong lay on the side of the couch to persuade her to mourn, but she heard the master mutter: "Did I lose to her, I never won her in my life, right?" Peach, who is the emperor now, is it our Yinyu? ”

On the evening of the day of the death of Emperor Daxing, he was moved back to the Forbidden City from Changchun Garden to mourn, and the concubines and concubines in the garden, the sons and grandchildren all returned to the palace with them, which was another major event that shocked the government and the opposition and foreign countries after the death of the Empress Dowager. And in Changchun Garden, Ma Qi and Long Keduo have jointly issued an edict, the emperor has left a testament long before hesitation, and found the Manchu and Mongolian edicts in the Qianqing Palace, the content of the edicts is the same, all of them are the first emperor to be located in the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen.

The new emperor succeeded to the throne on the same day, summoned the general Yinyu of Fuyuan to return to Beijing to mourn, and ordered the eighth elder brother Yinyu, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, Ma Qi, and Long Keduo to be the ministers of prime minister's affairs.

When everyone was grief-stricken, even Yinxi didn't expect that the new emperor would activate him as soon as he came up. He was a person who had been left behind by the first emperor for many years, and even on his deathbed, he insinuated that he coveted the throne to spy on the emperor's health, and was asked to recuperate at home, in other words, house arrest, but now the new emperor has enabled him "regardless of his previous suspicions", Yinxi's heart was shocked not long after, and he understood that the new emperor wanted to appease people's hearts, and if he didn't appreciate it, it was his fault.

And since the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, the harem concubines left by Emperor Daxing must also belong. Yonghe Palace Concubine De to the new emperor's biological mother, was respected as the queen mother, the emperor proposed to put the emblem for Renshou, when the will to Yonghe Palace, but the queen mother has been sick as a reason, temporarily do not accept the bow of the harem of the monarch and ministers. People outside speculated about what the Queen Mother's attitude was for, but in Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi just wanted to stay quietly alone, she was already tired of being in the royal family all her life.

The palace is very simple, and the grandeur of the posthumous events of the first emperor has almost raised the strength of the whole country. Although the queen mother is unwilling to accept the civil and military worship, but the affairs of the first emperor, everything must bow to herself, crying and burning incense every day, all dragging the sick body to go, but as soon as she mentioned that the prince's grandson and grandson, the son and son of the clan were going to come to worship, she said that she wanted to go back.

Yuxi as Prince Yong's Fujin, followed the monarch into Kunning Palace, and has not yet carried out the queen's canonization ceremony, but the emperor has promised the queen's respect, entering and leaving the palace, and the surrounding sound of "Queen Mother" always makes her very trance. I still remember that Queen Xiaoyi told her on her deathbed that she would be the one who would be the queen in the future, but now that she has really become the queen, she is a little at a loss. Suddenly, she is the mother of the country, and what she bears is no longer a big family like the palace or the Old Summer Palace, the entire palace, and even the whole country, are on her and Yinzhen's shoulders.

The affairs in the palace and the affairs after the death of the first emperor have rules to follow, and they can't be messed up, Yuxi carefully took Lin Gege to deal with it, so he had to arrange for the concubine and the sister-in-law to go to Yonghe Palace to take care of the queen mother. Although the children were sad, Xiao Chen'er cried and fainted several times, but finally remembered her elderly mother, since Lan Qi returned to Yonghe Palace, they took turns to accompany each other, as if they were afraid that something would happen to her, and later Lan Qi drove them away, saying that she would be fine, if you can't think about it, you will go with you in Changchun Garden.

Mother repeatedly said that she wanted to be quiet, Yinzhen had no choice but to let people take care of her, Yonghe Palace was deserted, and only the emperor occasionally went to visit.

On that day, Prince Cheng Yinzhi played, in order to respect the new monarch, in order to avoid the emperor's secret, the word "Yin" in the name of the princes was changed to the word "Yun", and the emperor allowed it. And the news came from outside Beijing, the general Wang led the troops back to Beijing, there are still ten days of road from the capital, and some ministers said that the emperor wanted the emperor to order the general Wang to stay in place, and the general can enter Beijing alone.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yin Zhen made a decree that it would be good to let the fourteen soldiers and horses stay outside the capital.

From the use of the eighth elder brother to the fourteenth elder brother to bring the soldiers and horses to the city, the new monarch's mind can be seen, although it is rumored that the edict of the first emperor is not above board enough, and there are many unspeakable things in the Qingxi Book House, but the attitude of the new monarch is there, he is a dignified successor to the throne, not afraid of no one dissatisfied.

But what kind of grace and treatment did the fourteenth elder brother receive from the first emperor before, and the matter of leading the troops to the expedition with the honor of the emperor's personal conquest, the world has seen it, and now it is still remembered clearly, but the world has changed, and the fourth elder brother is already the emperor, I don't know what kind of mood the fourteenth elder brother is in when he comes to mourn.

In the blink of an eye, it is the middle of winter, and the day of Laba is a day that will be lively in the palace every year, but this year it is quiet, and in the white imperial city, I can't even hear a little laughter. Early in the morning, Lan Qi went to the Former Emperor Zi Palace to cry and burn incense, but although she said that she was crying, from the day Xuan Ye died to the present, she had not shed a single tear, she couldn't cry, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry.

Concubine Gui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Hui all accompanied the attendant, Concubine Hui said that she had not participated in any ceremony after the death of the first emperor, because the queen mother and the emperor did not care, and others did not dare to talk much.

On this day, Concubine Yi was late, she sat on a four-person soft couch every day, the queen mother and the emperor both read her old age and acquiesced, but last night she and Brother Jiu saw each other unhappily, all because she didn't want to move to Ningshou Palace and other concubines, and didn't want to go to her son's mansion, and wanted to guard her Yikun Palace, but she was accused by Yinyu of being whimsical, holding her breath for a night, and then came to worship the first emperor, full of resentment and grievances, and felt that it was Xuan Ye who was sorry for her, Wu Ya Lanqi, and everyone was sorry for her.

The negative Guo Luo Luo clan was carried away by resentment, the queen mother had just bowed and stood up, and all the concubines, concubines, and Fujin were listed, and Concubine Yi swayed and rushed forward, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and bumped Lan Qi away with her shoulder.

Yuxi and the palace maids hurriedly supported the Queen Mother, but Concubine Yi didn't seem to see it, so she just rushed to the spirit and cried, crying that the emperor left her alone, crying that she was wronged and no one was in charge, but no matter how pitiful she cried, others couldn't sympathize, Lan Qi was expressionless and ready to go back, but when she looked up, she saw Yinzhen standing in front of the door. When everyone saw the emperor with the queen mother's gaze, they all knelt down in panic.

No one expected that Xinjun would reprimand Concubine Yi in public, and let Concubine Yi be sent to Ningshou Palace under house arrest.

Back to Yonghe Palace, changing his clothes and resting, Lan Qi leaned in front of the window to look at the sporadic snowflakes outside, Huanchun came over with a food box, and said softly: "The Laba porridge presented by Yong'an Temple, do you want to enter some?" The queen's mother, as well as other mothers and Fujin, the slaves and maids have all been arranged. ”

Lan Qi turned her eyes to look at her, remembering that when she was a palace maid, she and Pan Xia were lying in the same bed and talking about Laba porridge, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Pan Xia likes to eat, you can send it to Zhongcui Palace." ”

Huanchun put down the food box and said, "Concubine Cheng sent Panxia to the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion to care for the elderly, don't you remember?" ”

Lan Qi was stunned, why didn't she remember, and when she mentioned the word pension, she smiled at Huanchun: "As a result, you have been with me all my life, and you are still working hard, Huanchun, you can also rest." Go to Yinzhen's house......" She stopped, forgetting that her son was already the emperor, and said, "Go to the thirteen or fourteenth house, I don't think the fourteenth will be good in the past few years, you go to Yinxiang's house, the daughter-in-law of the thirteenth family has a good temperament, and will treat you well." ”

Huanchun was in tears, but he didn't respond to this, and only said softly: "Master, the brothers have changed their names, and the word Yin has been changed to the word Yun." ”

Lan Qi sighed and said nonchalantly, "So much has happened? "Count on your fingers, in a few days, it will be almost a month since Xuan Ye left.

Huanchun said again: "The Fourteenth Master is almost here, master, are you waiting for the Fourteenth Master to come and ask to see you, or will we take the initiative to issue an order and invite the Fourteenth Master to come over?" ”

Lan Qi moved her lips: "Let the emperor arrange it, there are some things, just make it clear to them and their ministers." ”

Huanchun opened the food box, and begged the master to eat two bites, hoping to bless the master with a long life, but Huanchun will be very conflicted, no one knows Lan Qi better than her, and now that she has one more day to live, it will be torture for her.

Laba porridge had just been removed, and someone in front of the door reported that Concubine Gui and Concubine Rong had arrived, and Lan Qi was not worshipped, but she had been in contact with her sisters, and they were all people left by Xuan Ye, and Lan Qi would be good to them for Xuan Ye. But at this moment, Concubine Gui and Concubine Rong came to intercede for Concubine Fang Caiyi's disrespectful matter in front of the spirit.

The concubine said: "If you are angry, it is okay, but the emperor is angry, and Concubine Yi is the person of the first emperor, but I am afraid that it will not be good for the emperor's reputation if it is spread out." ”

Lan Qi said lightly: "How can the emperor have a good reputation, and daring to talk about the monarch is the crime of bullying the monarch." ”

Concubine Rong and Concubine Gui looked at each other, and Concubine Rong said: "You have endured her for a lifetime, forget about this matter, why bother with her crying wolf every day, making people uneasy." ”

Lan Qi shook his head and said solemnly to the two: "When the first emperor was here, he protected me, no matter how big the grievance was, I didn't care. The first emperor is gone, and my son is the emperor, so I should protect him. Guo Luoluo is disrespectful to me now, that is, disrespectful to Xinjun, and I can't bear it. ”
