Chapter 173 Leaving the Palace, Imperial Gift

Early in the morning, the ministers waiting for the court meeting in front of the Jinshui Bridge waited for half an hour, but there was still no shadow of the royal driver. The bosses at the front of the class couldn't stand the cold of the early morning, and they all frowned, and some even muttered a few words in a low voice. Even the officials of Honglu Temple, who used to supervise etiquette, couldn't help but stomp their feet lightly at this time, not to mention those senior officials in the ministry who were a lot older. However, although the ministers had doubts in their hearts, they still did not talk to each other, and a few anxious called the eunuchs on duty to ask, but the few large and small chamberlains did not know, and they could only continue to wait patiently.

It wasn't until the sun had risen that a eunuch hurriedly ran out of the Fengtian Gate, but he didn't say a word, only said that he would be exempt from the court today, and then ran away with two entourage. It took an hour to get such news, and a large group of officials were in an uproar. After exiting from the noon gate in turn, everyone had to gather together and whisper according to their previous friendships or fellow villagers in the same year, until they entered the thousand-step corridor.

However, at lunchtime, a shocking news came from the palace - the queen had collapsed

The queen is in weak health, and almost everyone knows about the civil and military officials in Beijing, so many people secretly feel amazed that the queen can survive until now, so the ministers were shocked not by this funeral news, but by the funeral measures that came with it - drop out of the dynasty for three days, do not ring bells and drums. Except for those who wore mourning clothes and wept at Sishanmen, all the civil and military officials in Beijing were fasted and stayed at the Yamen Office for 27 days and were not allowed to go home. In Beijing 100 officials were dressed for 27 days, and then they were dressed for 100 days, and in foreign civil and military officials, they were dressed for 3 days. Military and civilian uniforms for three days. Slaughter was banned in the capital for 49 days, slaughter was banned outside for 3 days, official eunuchs stopped marrying for 100 days, and soldiers and civilians were banned for 1 month.

The funeral etiquette system is not drafted by the Ministry of Rites, but set by the emperor himself, and all the funeral rites are directly after Empress Taizu Gao, and the marriage and so on are not available to several queens in the previous dynasty, so there was an uproar in the thousand-step corridor for a while. A few young and vigorous imperial historians immediately returned to the room to write the chapter, but before the pen was halfway moved, a boss had already hurriedly come over and speak for a while, and in the end, all the yamen immediately changed to plain white lanterns, and there was no more sound.

Because it was noon on this day, the obituary was obtained, so the ministers hurriedly sent people back to prepare mourning clothes except for the things that hindered them, but after half a day's effort, the coarse linen prepared in the silk village was almost swept away. When it was late, even if the funeral ceremony said that it was the next day's dress, the mourning clothes up and down had already been prepared, and the plain black gauze hat and black horn belt also replaced the previous court clothes. As far as the eye can see, I can only see a place of vegetarian in the thousand-step corridor, and in the evening, the city is full of sounds, and the fireworks places such as the singing and dancing of Su Risheng and Hutong in Gouqian Hutong have all fallen into silence.

When the sun set, the Yangning Marquis Mansion, like the rest of the Minister's Mansion, had white lanterns on the door. Lao Zhou, the head of the porter on the West Corner Gate, shouted and looked at the door, just when he saw a carriage coming in from Chonghefang, he didn't care, and when the car stopped in front of the West Corner Gate, he was taken aback, leaned out half of his body and went out to look. Seeing the driver on the wheel jump out of the car and come over, and take off the hat, he suddenly came to his senses.

Sure enough, the coachman's voice was sharp and thin: "Our family was ordered by the county lord of Yixing to send the third lady of your mansion back." ”

Lao Zhou hurriedly sent someone in to report the news, and then ordered people to get out of the way, and the coachman got back into the carriage and drove the carriage into the door. Stopped at the second gate along the road, and the mother-in-law who had already been trusted stepped forward to greet him, and Lao Zhou was waiting beside him, and peeked at the back of Chen Lan in plain clothes who got off the carriage, and couldn't help muttering in his heart. However, when he saw two other palace maids getting out of the car and ordering a few mothers-in-law to get in the car and move things, he secretly said to himself.

I lived in the palace for more than half a month, and now when I came back, I brought two palace maids and so many things, and the third lady was really decent this time

Although he returned home after half a month, Chen Lan was still immersed in the grief of the Kunning Palace before, and his eyes were still red. Therefore, when she suddenly heard a sister, and then a person rushed forward in a hurry, and grabbed her hand regardless of it, she didn't react for a long time. Recognizing that the anxious young man was Chen Yan, she pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a stiff smile: "Fourth brother." ”

"Sister, ...... are you?"

Since he was a child, Chen Yan has never been separated from Chen Lan for so long, and when he saw her like this at this time, he was even more worried. After blurting out a question, seeing that Chen Lan didn't react much, he immediately became anxious, and was about to ask when he saw Chen Lan shaking his head at her, and then his hand was pinched heavily, and he was suddenly shocked. He no longer goes to the school, half a day to Han Hanlin to study scriptures and history, half a day to Beicheng Elementary School to shoot arrows and practice martial arts, he knows some of the situation outside, and he has heard some nonsense. Qiang Patience worriedly helped Chen Lan to go inside, in order to relieve his sister's mood, he had to whisper something about the family again.

"Sister, in the past few days that you have been away from home, the marriage of the second sister and the fourth sister has been decided. The second sister promised to the son of Runing Boshi, and the fourth sister promised to give that Su Yi, it is said that the old lady said that she wanted to add a dowry, so the second aunt was full of joy all day long, only the fourth sister complained to me once, and I ignored her. Qingxi Ju has almost moved over there, only the second brother and the fifth brother and the sixth mother, the eighth mother and the ninth mother have not moved, and now the obituary of the queen mother comes out, it will take a while before they continue to move......"

In the past, Chen Lan was most concerned about the situation at home, but at this moment, he just nodded stiffly to show that he knew. It wasn't until she entered the hall in front of the Tateka Courtyard and saw the familiar room and people that she took a deep breath and told herself in her heart that she had returned to the mansion now, not in the palace that seemed boring but didn't need to pay attention to anything.

"Old lady, the third lady is back."

Before Chen Lan entered the east room, he heard the green calyx inside speak. When she lowered her head and entered under the curtain, she saw that Zhu was sitting on the east end of the kang, and her complexion was much better than before she left, and her face was full of joy at this time. She was about to kneel down and salute, but Yu Shao hurriedly helped her up, and said, "The old lady is already dying, the third lady quickly sit on the kang and let the old lady see it first." ”

Yiyan sat on the edge of the kang, Chen Lan saw Zhu touch the plain clothes on her body with his right hand, and then trembling and rubbing her arm, and finally the hand stretched out and slid across her face, and she only remembered what Chen Yan had said at this time. Mrs. Runingbo originally wanted to marry her for the prince, and the Su family had also beaten her idea, but now the two marriages were suddenly decided, and even the Zhu family did not hesitate to take out his body as a dowry, and the meaning of this is very clear.

Thinking of this, she temporarily let go of the sadness and melancholy in her heart, and gently held Zhu's hand: "Don't worry, old lady, I'm fine, but I feel a little uncomfortable." ”

Zhu's eyes flashed, and then he glanced at the green calyx, and the green calyx immediately beckoned to the crane Ling Moxiang who was waiting in the room, and when the two of them went out, she also pulled the jade peony and retreated. Chen Yan hesitated, but thinking that Chen Lan hadn't come back for many days, it was good to know what was going on in the palace, so without waiting for Zhu and Chen Lan to speak, he sat down on the chair first, and then put on a picture of not leaving.

Chen Lan took a deep breath and said that she has been living in Xiyuan Yichun Pavilion with the county lord of Yixing for these days, and she will go to Kunning Palace to accompany the queen almost every day, and she was even urgently summoned into Kunning Palace early this morning. As for the details, she skimmed them all out and said that the queen took great care of her.

"So you're upset?"

Hearing this low voice, Chen Lan was taken aback, and immediately looked up at Zhu, and Chen Yan, who was looking down, almost didn't bare out his eyes, and stammered as soon as he jumped up: "Old lady, you ......"

"Fourth brother silenced" Chen Lan thought that Zhu was silent when he saw him just now, but now he was suddenly able to speak, and he suddenly had some numbers in his heart, and he drank Chen Yan in one gulp, and she asked in a low voice, "The old lady is already able to speak?" How many people know about this, and when did it happen? ”

When Zhu saw Chen Lan's obedience, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's not long after you leave." Not many people know, you don't have to worry about it. These days, Dr. Fang came to check the pulse every other day, and all kinds of medicinal materials were eaten as if they didn't need money, and no one was angry with me in the first three days, so I was much better than before. Don't say this, no wonder you feel sad, the queen treats you as Princess Qingcheng, you happen to be in the same year and month as her, this is also fate......"

As he spoke, Zhu couldn't help but think of the past, and sighed again: "The queen is also a poor person, when the first queen mother is here, she is always dissatisfied with her, after all, when the emperor was still King Jing, the concubines were all in the hands of others, and the most powerless one was pushed to the emperor." Moreover, she has never been able to give birth to children, but fortunately, the emperor has been blocking the ...... When I heard that the county lord summoned you to the palace, I was afraid that the queen would give you a title because she liked you. ”

Chen Yan on the side was already straight-eyed when he heard it, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why is the old lady worried about this?" Even if my sister is only a county lord, we won't be afraid of ......"

"Not afraid of what?" Chen Lan looked at Chen Yan with an excited face, and poured a basin of cold water on his head, "The queen has gone, there is no title, this friendship is remembered in each other's hearts, but there is a thought." With the title, others may respect one or two at first, but with a nominal identity, in the end it is just a moon in the water, and there is no other benefit except for attracting suspicion. ”

After training Chen Yan, she said to the Zhu family: "When I left the palace, the queen left two palace people and a lot of things for me, among which there were three things that the emperor ordered to keep records, which were classified as imperial gifts. Among them, there was a rosewood cane that was named and given to the old lady. ”

PS: After reading everyone's comments, it seems that yesterday's chapter has been going on for a long time, and many people are very sad, including myself. When I wrote it, it was better, but when I re-edited and uploaded, my eyes were wet unconsciously...... I like the queen very much, I love ......
