The fourth princess's original joyful expression was broken by a long bell, and she silently counted it in her heart, four, five...... Eight, nine.

It's over, my father has died, you must know that Xiangqian's dowry has been sent to the palace, but it has not yet been sent to the princess's palace, just a little bit, the fourth of the six rites can be completed.

Xiangqian stopped his steps and looked shocked, but at this moment, he could only go home, although it was okay to give it by force, but no one was willing to give a dowry gift accompanied by the death knell.

The queen sat on the phoenix chair with a pale face, her prince and princess were not married, the original plan was in vain, the emperor died, and the time of marriage would be delayed for three years.

Three years later, the sixth prince and the fourth princess will be eighteen years old, the fourth princess is fine, there is already a Xiangqian, both of them have to keep filial piety, and when the time comes, they will get married, but what should the six princes do.

Dongshun Kingdom has always started a family first and then started a business, the six princes have no princesses, and they don't even have a woman around them, so they have the face to sit on the throne.

By the way, Fu Bao is also twelve years old this year, three years old with the age difference of the six princes, three years later, Fu Bao is just fifteen years old, and the first year after the end of the year is the best time to get married.

The queen couldn't wait to put on her wings, fly to the princess's mansion, and tie Fubao to the six princes, but now that the emperor has died, she has too many things to do as a queen.

First of all, all the princes, hundred officials, princesses and below, clan daughters, assistant leaders, third-class guards, and women and above, men take off the red tassels on their hats and cut off their braided hair, and women remove their pink jewelry and cut their hair.

Then wait for the big gathering, after the big funeral, the Zigong Palace is set up in the Qinzheng Palace, set up a few feasts, three times a day in the morning, noon, and evening to eat and mourn, and the prince personally leads the salute.

All the princes and ministers and officials above the clan will cry outside the palace of Qinzheng day and night within three days, and the civil officials and military attachés above the deputy capital will cry outside the palace gate in turn.

From the fourth day, the princes and hundreds of officials stayed in the official office for the 27th, and then wept once a day, and the soldiers and civilians removed their mourning clothes on the 27th.

Folk music, marriage, the military and civilian homes stopped for 100 days, the officials' homes stopped for one year, the emperor's relatives stopped for three years, the queen's descendants stopped for five years, and slaughtered for 49 days.

The queen looked at the will in her hand, and secretly scolded the emperor in her heart, and she had to put her own son and daughter together, I really don't know how this vicious mind was formed.

The mentality of the six princes is not bad, the country cannot be without a king for a day, he is the crown prince, even if he can't sit on the throne immediately, but in the entire palace, except for the three princes, there is no prince anymore.

And the third prince was already under house arrest in the harem when the former emperor was in a coma, and he was deprived of the opportunity to go out of the palace to build a mansion, so it was impossible for the three princes to develop their own power.

In addition to being restricted in action, even the gold and silver wealth has been restricted, except for the necessary monthly examples, the silver in the hands of the three princes is not as much as the private treasury of a prince's daughter.

But the expenses of the harem are much larger than the expenses of the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and no silver is needed for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and inquiry, so the third prince and his mother live in calculations every day.

originally thought that the emperor would die, and he would have the opportunity to propose to go out of the palace to build a mansion, but whether it was a eunuch or a palace maid, as soon as he walked out of his palace gate, he would kneel in front of the palace gate and kowtow without saying a word.

The third prince is not a stupid person, but he is just timid, and he already understands that there is no way for him to leave here before the sixth brother sits on the throne.

Even if he sits on the throne, he is a thorn in this brother's heart, so if he wants to be free, there is only one way, to cripple himself, because the national system does not allow a disabled prince to ascend to the throne of God.

The third prince returned to his palace, circled around a two-person high rockery for more than a dozen times, and finally made up his mind, he climbed the rockery, looked around, closed his eyes, and jumped down directly.

"Click"

The third prince heard the clicking sound of the foot bones in his ears, and a sharp pain came from his feet, he smiled slightly, and then, he also felt a warm current slowly flowing out of his face.

"Ah......h

The pain on his face and feet made the three princes cry uncontrollably, and the screams alarmed the eunuchs and palace maids, who looked at the three princes who were lying on the ground with blood on their faces, and they all knelt down in fright.

"Go find the Imperial Doctor."

"Go and tell Concubine Yu."

"Go and report to the queen."

"Do you want to report to His Royal Highness the Prince?"

More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard walked and ran, but no one wanted to support the three princes lying on the ground, until Concubine Yu got the news and hurriedly came, and when she saw her son who was still lying on the ground, she couldn't help but be angry.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to punish those faceless eunuchs and palace maids, there was a clear shout from the palace maid outside, and it turned out to be the queen mother.

Concubine Yu suppressed her anger and distress for her son, turned around and walked out, and then stood by the door and saluted respectfully.

The queen saw the three princes who were still lying on the ground at a glance, and knew what was going on, but she still had to do face work, after all, the prince was the prince, where were these palace maids and eunuchs allowed to practice.

"Come on, tie up all these people for me and send them to the Internal Affairs Office to be detained."

Concubine Yu almost vomited a mouthful of old blood when she heard this, but she was just sent to the Internal Affairs Office to be imprisoned, not to the Shen Criminal Division for torture, which was obviously a cover-up.

But the situation is stronger than people, the six princes have not yet married, so they can't sit on the emperor's throne for the time being, but he is the crown prince, as long as five years pass, it is not too easy to marry a crown princess.

"Please ask the queen to ask the imperial doctor for the third prince."

Concubine Yu knelt down respectfully, she already understood her son's thoughts, although she didn't approve, but if it wasn't for the fact that there was no way out, no one would want to hurt herself.

"Passing on the Imperial Doctor."

The queen opened her mouth coldly, then said a few words, and slowly turned to leave, the third prince was quite smart, and knew that only in this way could he regain his freedom.

But is freedom so good, before the six emperors sit on the throne and give birth to Lin'er, let's stay in their palace obediently.

After the second cup of tea, the eldest servant came to report that the third prince's right foot was fractured, and the imperial doctor originally wanted to take the bone for him, but he refused.

The face of the third prince was also ruined, and the right cheek was cut by the sharp corner of the stone, about two inches long and about half an inch deep.

But even if the wound heals, the scar on the face will definitely not be removed, even if the scar removal medicine is good, it is estimated that it is just a lighten color, and it is a fool's dream to recover as before.

The queen nodded, it seems that the third prince does not want the throne at all, and he used this self-harm method to tell himself and the six emperors that the throne is yours and Dongshun Kingdom is yours.
