Concubine Zhao led the Forbidden City up and down, and worked with all the departments of the imperial court to prepare for the birthday banquet for two years, which was grand and grand, but the only pity was that the birthday star herself, the Empress Dowager, could not attend.
What you see and hear today is worth talking about for decades among the princes and ministers, but they don't know that Concubine Zhao has exhausted all means to save expenses.
If the Empress Dowager's 70th birthday is held in 10 years, the royal family will have enough money to make her call, and she will be able to hold a feast that is better than today's.
She is also grateful to the queen in her heart, she can delay the mourning of the second elder brother in the face of great grief, and come to the birthday banquet more decently.
For the first time in so many years, Ling Zhao felt sorry for this woman who was pressing him everywhere.
The birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager was celebrated for three days, because Yu'er was not in the palace, and ordered the women and their dependents to enter the palace to salute, and they all gathered in Ningshou Palace.
The Queen Mother is not good at dealing with these things, Shu Shu and Ling Zhao are in turn, and after three days, everyone is tired.
In this way, it was not until the seventh day of the death of the second elder brother, the twelfth day of the first month, that the imperial court issued an order to mourn, although Chenghu was the son of the prince, but the funeral of the children who had not grown up were the same.
Xuan Ye didn't want to impose these unwarranted glories on Cheng Hu's body, let alone be talked about after his death, so he simply sent the second elder brother according to the rules without hesitation.
The second elder brother stopped in Kunning Palace for seven days, Shu Shu recuperated a few days ago, and coped with the Empress Dowager's birthday a few days later, until the night before Chenghu sent it, she could not come to see her son.
Under the careful care of the palace people, the little Chenghu was still intact, as if he was just asleep, lying peacefully in the coffin.
Shu Shu finally covered his son with a white handkerchief, allowing him to leave this world with peace of mind.
She snuggled in Xuan Ye's arms, quietly looking at her son's coffin, the incense candles around her continued countless times, and when she woke up, she was already lying on the bed.
Xuan Ye changed into a dragon robe on the side, and the palace maids held Shu Shu's phoenix robe, waiting to serve the queen.
"Get up and change your clothes, and we'll give our son one last ride." Xuan Ye said, "According to the rules, white-haired people are not allowed to send black-haired people, aren't we still full of black, don't pay attention to it." ”
"Your Majesty, this is a joke with words." Shu Shu said, "Do you really want to send it?" ”
Xuan Ye bowed: "Let's give him a ride, and Chenghu will be able to find his way home in the future." ”
Sange came forward to serve the queen to wash and dress, in just half a month, the original court clothes no longer fit, Shu Shu was already slender, this thin, almost dry.
Xuan Ye held her hand, frowned, and said, "Sent away my son, next, I want to take care of you, I promised my son, I will take care of you and protect you." You have to rest well, eat well, shed more tears, no matter how much you torture yourself, your son will not come back, but I will lose you. ”
Shu Shu asked aggrievedly: "When did I toss myself?" ”
Xuan Ye said, "Okay, I said it wrong. ”
Da Lizi came and said that the auspicious time had arrived, and the second elder brother was on his way.
Kunning Palace suddenly burst into tears, but Xuan Ye and Shu Shu were extremely calm, watching the coffin of the second elder brother being carried out, and watching his son on the road, Xuan Ye took Shu Shu's hand and walked forward step by step.
"Please stay with the emperor and the queen." In the end, the officials of the Zongren Mansion stopped the way, and it was really unruly for the emperor to send it down.
Shu Shu glanced at Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye bowed his head and let go of his hand.
The people saw the queen go to the coffin, take off her trench coat, and cover the coffin.
Shu Shu finally touched the cold coffin, smiled and said, "Chenghu, with Eniang, it won't be cold on the road." ”
Xuan Ye walked over, wrapped his windbreaker around Shu Shu, and raised his hand to signal everyone to send the second elder brother on the road, the palace maids and eunuchs were still crying all the way, crying farther and farther away, they and their son were goodbye forever.
Concubine Zhao was accompanied by Ningshou Palace, and when she got the news that the second elder brother had been sent away, the Queen Mother cried again.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Ling Zhao had to come to Kunning Palace, and he wanted to explain the birthday banquet and the funeral of the second elder brother to the queen.
Shu Shu finally spoke, and after thanking him, he said, "Is the Nalan clan about to give birth?" ”
Ling Zhao bowed: "Yes, the hospital said that it was just a few days." ”
Shu Shu said: "She and Rong are always here, and they have meritorious service in the royal family, and they have both been promoted to nobles this time." Originally, they should have moved into the East and West Sixth Palaces, but now that the two of them have lived alone, they don't have to bother. ”
Ling Zhao saw that the queen mentioned this, so he simply said: "After the birthday banquet of the queen mother, the next thing is the autumn draft, the internal affairs office will be responsible for the selection of palace maids every year, but the show girl draft, you have to ask the queen mother to preside over it." ”
Shu Shu said: "In this way, if you see what you can't do, leave it to me." ”
Ling Zhao hurriedly bowed and said: "The concubine doesn't dare, it should be the mother who ordered the concubine." ”
Shu Shu smiled bitterly: "Then give me some time, I can't turn my brain now, I won't tell you, you held such a grand birthday banquet, but I can't remember anything, I'm really sorry for you." ”
Ling Zhao shook his head again and again: "How difficult it is for Niangniang, others don't know, but the concubine knows." ”
Shu Shu said: "You and I may not be able to become sisters or friends, but the days of the deep palace are very long, and in the next life, good things and bad things will have to be dealt with in everything." Therefore, the wish for peace and harmony is simple and practical, I hope you don't think I'm ruthless and indifferent, I feel very comfortable with the two of us like now. ”
"The same is true of concubines." Ling Zhao said and bowed, "If Niangniang has no other instructions, the concubine will retire." ”
"Go ahead and get some rest." Shu Shu said, "Concubine Zhao, it's really hard for you." ”
Ling Zhao saluted and said goodbye: "The concubine doesn't dare to be." ”
After she left Kunning Palace, she sent someone to the Tai Hospital to ask when Nalan Changzai would give birth, but asked everything to go well, Dongyun replied, saying that Nalan Changzai was already lying down and almost did not move, so he was waiting to give birth.
"Why are you lying still?" Although Ling Zhao has no experience in childbirth, so many princes and princesses in the palace have been born one after another, and he understands it if he doesn't understand it, and said, "Didn't the imperial doctor recommend moving around more to help give birth?" ”
Dongyun said: "The slave maid and several medical women muttered about this, and they speculated that Nalan was often lying still, because he was afraid that the child would be born in these days. You think, if you give birth to a little prince and meet someone who has many things, what will you say about the reincarnation of the second elder brother. At best, she has been loved by the queen since then, but if she thinks about it badly, she may say that she made it up herself, and she used it to favor the emperor's brother, wouldn't she have died unjustly. ”
Ling Zhao frowned: "If that's the case, this Nalan clan, looking at the gentle and weak people, can already be counted so deep at a young age." ”
Dong Yun said: "Isn't it, Niangniang, we have to watch out for those people." Not to mention anything else, Nalan Clan's cousin, but Mingzhu, and Mingzhu's son Nalan Rongruo, the father and son are big celebrities in front of the emperor. ”
Ling Zhao said lightly: "Don't worry about me, this autumn, there are newcomers who are going to enter the palace, let them be lively." ”
Dongyun said while packing up his things: "At the moment, I'm afraid that whoever has a mind won't be able to take his turn." The slave estimated that the emperor would definitely take the queen mother out of the palace to relax in a few days, not to Nanyuan, but to go straight to the Empress Dowager of Chicheng Yue. When the queen arrives in autumn, it is not certain whether she can recover or not, where did the emperor come from to favor the newcomer. ”
Ling Zhao said: "She has recovered, believe it or not." ”
In Kunning Palace, Sanger took the palace people to clean up the relics of the second elder brother, those toys, bedding and clothes will all be burned, Shu Shu left nothing, sat quietly on the side, and wrote a letter for the Queen Mother.
The next day, Prince Yu went to the Qianqing Palace to receive the decree, Da Li Zilai took away the queen's letter, Prince Yu will go to Chicheng to serve the empress dowager, and will hand over the letter to the imperial grandmother.
Xuan Ye instructed his brother a few words, and ordered him to leave earlier, and when Fuquan left, he stopped talking, and what he wanted to say was swallowed in the end.
But he rode his horse to Chicheng, and on the third day after seeing the imperial grandmother, he couldn't help it, and came to Yu'er and said, "There is something, my grandson wants to ask the imperial grandmother to show me." ”
Yu'er asked, "Is it a matter of the family, or is it a matter of the imperial court?" ”
Fuquan said solemnly: "It's a matter of the imperial court, the emperor's grandmother, grandson heard some gossip, the emperor seems to have the intention of withdrawing the domain, I haven't dared to ask the emperor, it's true or false, it's not easy to figure out." ”
Yu'er said: "You didn't ask the emperor, come and ask me what to do, what answer do you want me to give you?" Fuquan, where did you hear about this? ”
