Chapter 680: The Empress Dies
Yan Xingxuan didn't come, which meant that the other party was stumped by something and it was inconvenient to come.
Xiao Nianzhi was also unsure, so it was inconvenient for Fang to ask.
Before she could speak, the guard had already explained, "Your Highness has entered the palace."
didn't explain the reason, but it made Xiao Nianzhi feel uneasy.
Isn't the Queen Mother sick?
But the guard didn't say much, Xiao Nianzhi thought about it and didn't ask much.
Because he was worried about the affairs in the palace, after Xiao Nianzhi returned home, he didn't have much appetite, so he went back to the study to read after eating hastily, and then went to sleep.
The next day, the weather was good, and Xiao Nianzhi made a meal of sesame sauce noodles in the house to eat.
Refreshing and comfortable.
She herself was quite satisfied.
It's a pity that there has been no news of Yan Xingxuan.
It's not sure if the Queen Mother is sick.
After the rest of the day, Xiao Nianzhi got up early and entered the palace and went to the court, and they all entered the second gate, but they found that everyone was stuck in front.
When Xiao Nianzhi passed, the officials in front of him had already knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Nianzhi felt a sigh in his heart.
She thought: Probably not, right?
Although I don't know the situation, I followed the crowd and kowtowed my head first and then asked about the situation in detail.
However, there was no need for Xiao Nianzhi to ask soon, there were those emotional officials who were already crying out at the top of their throats: "Queen Mother!"
After listening to this, Xiao Nianzhi was stunned for a moment.
Empress?
She originally thought it was the Queen Mother, and the old man couldn't stand it.
As a result, is it the queen?
The queen was not sick before, and this news was a little sudden.
However, if the news of the harem is not specially understood, Xiao Nianzhi is outside the palace and rarely knows too much.
Therefore, if the queen is sick and there is no rumor, Xiao Nianzhi may not know.
But don't worry about the situation now.
Kowtow first.
Kowtow, Your Majesty will rest for a day today.
After all, the death of the queen really needs to be delayed.
It doesn't matter if there is affection or not, after all, it is a married couple and has been friendly for many years.
After the hundred officials kowtowed, they all dispersed.
After that, there will be a formal worship, but now there is no need to toss around.
Xiao Nianzhi went back to check in first, and then went to the outfield.
On their side, there are not many channels to get information.
Yu Jianzheng still needs to rely on Yu Shangshu's side to get more information.
However, when the queen died, the Ministry of Rites needed to follow the process to hold a funeral.
Even Shangshu was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi does not know the news for the time being.
In the afternoon, Xiao Nianzhi heard a few words from Cui He about the death of the queen.
"I heard that the queen's body was insecure before the queen's mother, and the imperial doctor has been watching, and it has been procrastinating for two months."
"A few days ago, I saw that my spirit was still very good, but now it seems, hey......"
"It's not easy for us to ask the Imperial Doctor, and we don't know the specifics."
……
Cui He can know this, thanks to the eldest princess.
Cui He was on the way to the outfield when he met Shenye, and then he learned some news.
No matter how much it is, he doesn't know.
Or rather, Fukaha didn't say much.
After all, it's about the queen, the royal secrets, don't talk about it.
Knowing that the queen had been sick, but she hadn't been cured, Xiao Nianzhi sighed in her heart.
In the past, she was actually just a general idea of the lifespan of the ancients, and she did not have a particularly clear concept.
Even the parents of the original owner left very early.
However, there are always exceptions.
It's just that now I heard that the queen is gone.
Xiao Nianzhi seems to have a little bit of solidity in his heart.
She is no longer in the modern era, where the average life expectancy has increased a lot, but in ancient times, when the average life expectancy was only thirty or forty.
Thirty or forty!
What an amazing number.
Xiao Nianzhi has no personal relationship with the queen, and he doesn't appreciate the other party's style very much.
So, to say sad is definitely not there.
But, after all, it's ***, as one of the officials, even if she pretends, she has to pretend to be sad.
It's just that in the end, the loss of a life will inevitably make people sigh.
After Cui He revealed a few words, he went to work honestly.
After listening, everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh, and then went their own way.
The death of the queen will not be like the death of the emperor and the loss of the lord of a country, the scene is grand and the pomp is very big.
In addition to announcing the officials, there is no need to notify the people.
Of course, the Ministry of Rites has definitely been very busy in recent days.
In addition to the corresponding process, it is also necessary to draw up a good word for the queen to satisfy His Majesty.
Of course, in addition to this, Qin Tianjian also needs to calculate the days.
……
In short, there are a lot of processes, and the departments involved in them have to be busy with a calm face.
After all, it's gone.
You have to pretend it too, right?
Yan Xingxuan, as a clan relative, definitely needs to express his condolences.
The crown prince and the Nine Emperor Princes are even more vigilant in front of the coffin, and they do not pretend to be replaced by others.
Especially the prince, he has to find some free time during the day to deal with his official duties.
A night watch is a big night.
Even those who are beaten with iron can't stand this.
However, the first three days were also stubbornly defended.
His Majesty was originally satisfied with the crown prince, but after the matter of the concubine, he was even more satisfied with the prince.
Seeing him like this now, my heart is also moved.
On the word filial piety, the prince showed that he was very satisfied.
A hundred years later, he had one day......
After a year, His Majesty, who felt that he seemed to be a lot older, refused to think about this question.
It's just that the queen died......
Ay!
Married at a young age, even if the relationship is not deep for a long time, but after so many years, the ups and downs have come together, and the sadness in my heart is not a lot.
The queen died, and the entire capital fell into a cold and desolate state.
Because, entertainment in the whole capital was banned for a month.
This is only the queen, if it is the Queen Mother or Her Majesty herself, this time is estimated to be postponed again.
Of course, this also depends on the meaning of His Majesty himself.
If His Majesty is interested, sometimes he encounters the death of his concubine, and he may also be asked by His Majesty to ban entertainment for half a month or a month.
Although sometimes it is not in accordance with the rules, some emperors are willful, so they don't care about the imperial history and the life and death of the world.
Fortunately, today's Majesty, although he always turns his head on the female color, at least he is not confused about major matters.
In the past few days, Xiao Nianzhi has been low-key and a person.
When I went to the outfield, it wasn't too hot, and I honestly ate a big pot of rice that didn't taste good and wasn't easy to eat.
Because entertainment is banned in the capital, the big pot of rice on the side of the outfield only sees a little oily in the dishes.
As for the meat?
That didn't.
There may have been meat foam in the past.
Nowadays, I didn't put oil and boiled it directly, which is already very good.
Rao is like this, Xiao Nianzhi can still eat it.
She doesn't pick, she really doesn't!
Woo, it's a hot day, why is she suffering this sin here?
Every time she thinks of this, Xiao Nianzhi thinks about her own welfare and welfare.
At the end of last month, she also received summer refreshments.
When converted, there are more than thirty taels of silver.
When I think about it like this, I feel much more comfortable.
Xiao Nianzhi comforted herself in a low voice while holding the big pot of rice with tears in her eyes: "It's not that I can't bear this bitterness."
