Chapter 87: Waves Undercurrent

At the same time, the inner palace of the Zhaoge Imperial City, the Fengyi Hall of the East Palace.

Guifei Bai's face showed a sad look, and Qianqiansu held a precious brocade handkerchief in her hand, gently wiping a faint touch of water at the end of her eyes under her delicate makeup.

In terms of appearance, although the concubine Bai is not as stunning as Queen Xie, who was known as the "first beauty of Tianchen" in the past, she lacks the bookish atmosphere and inner beauty of poetry and books, but her complexion is very bright, beautiful and coquettish.

Although she is middle-aged, she has a melon seed face that is very well maintained, bathing and washing with fresh milk every day, her skin is white and tender like a girl, and her voice is even more soft and delicate, which makes people feel pity when she hears it.

She wiped her tears with one hand, covered her chest with the other, and said with tears: "How could the queen mother leave so suddenly, this is ...... How can this be for us? In the past two days, the concubines couldn't sleep at night, as if they had lost the backbone of the master, they were really six gods without a master, and their hearts were unbearable. ”

For some men, showing weakness is a woman's invincible weapon.

Obviously, Bai Guifei is extremely skillful in using this sharp weapon, and she can always achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Sure enough, Emperor Wei, whose face was a little tired, immediately patted the thin shoulder of the concubine and comforted him:

"I know that you have always been gentle and petty, and you have great respect for the queen. Now that the queen has passed away suddenly, you can't accept it for a while. Not only you, but even I am very sad in my heart. ”

Bai Guifei sobbed lightly in Emperor Wei's arms, and her complexion was delicate.

She burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine really can't believe that the queen mother left at such a young age, and the two highnesses are still so young-"

Accompanying the imperial concubine on the side is Bai Guifei's henchman to marry the palace maid, and now the female official of the Nine Songs Palace, Le's.

Le Shi cautiously glanced at His Majesty the Emperor's face, and continued with a sad face, cautious but secretly thoughtful:

"Niangniang, you have to pay attention to your own jade body! Since the death of the queen mother, you have not thought about tea and dinner for the past two days, mourning day and night, and the slave knows that you are sad in your heart, but now the six palaces all rely on you to govern, and the funeral of the queen mother also needs you to preside, you must not fall. ”

His Royal Highness the Prince, who was only thirteen years old, knelt in front of the spiritual seat of the queen of Fengyi Hall to mourn, and he had not said a word for the past two days, but at this time, his eyes were suddenly like blades, and he looked up at the female official of the Nine Songs Hall Le Shi quietly.

The young man is not very old, but he already has the prestige of the prince. It's just that he hasn't spoken for a long time, and his voice is still a little hoarse, but he still said word by word:

"Presumptuous! According to the ancient rites of my Southern Dynasty Tianchen Shangbang, the funeral of the emperor and queen of the national dynasty should be presided over by the prince and the concubine. ”

Bai Guifei and Le Shi were slightly stunned.

The two of them didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had always been like a mud bodhisattva and was hidden behind Queen Xie and Princess Tianchen, would suddenly speak out at this time today, trying to disrupt their plans.

Emperor Wei's expression paused slightly, as if he was touched, he pondered for a moment, and then frowned and whispered:

What the prince said is not unreasonable, and the ancient rites are indeed so. But Yan'er is still young, has not yet got married, and has no wife, so how can he preside over the sacrifice? ”

In the ancient rituals of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty, the emperor died, and there should be a prince, that is, the next new emperor, to preside over the funeral; And when the queen dies, the prince's wife and princess should be the main sacrifice.

The intention of the princess to officiate at the queen is to use the future mother of the country to send the past mother of the country to prove the respect for succession and the inheritance of national fortunes.

It's just that in today's Tianchen Dynasty, the crown prince Fu Jingyan is only thirteen years old, not only has he not yet married, but he also has no wife, and even the candidate for the crown princess has not even been decided.

Usually in this case, the bento is the second in line of the officiating sacrifice after the new funeral of the mother of the country, that is, the queen mother, or the successor to serve as the main priest.

In short, presiding over the funeral of one generation of the mother of the country should be handled by another mother of the country. If it is not the previous mother of the nation in the past, it should also be the next mother of the country in the future. If there is none, no matter how bad it is, it should be presided over by a respected woman in the royal family, in other words, it is impossible for a concubine to preside over it.

The concubine is in charge of the aftermath of the main room, which will be a great disrespect to the former queen!

Guifei Bai talked about what kind of calculations he made, and the prince Fu Jingyan was clear.

Therefore, although he knew that his father had always pampered the concubine, and arguing with her face at this time would only provoke his father's displeasure, he still couldn't help but stop it.

His mother Xie Wan's body is not cold, and the body is still placed in this Fengyi Palace, and the Bai family dares to clearly reveal it in front of her spirit to plot the throne of a country!

Bai Guifei coughed lightly, as if she didn't realize it.

She raised her beautiful eyes slightly, first glanced at the silent prince with a smile, and then looked at Emperor Wei again.

"Your Majesty, Le's is also kind, but there is also a bit of inappropriateness in his words. Yes, although the concubines are willing to serve the queen, they have no name or point, and if they preside over in vain, it may be disrespectful to the queen. ”

Le Shi said suddenly: "Niangniang, in fact, the queen mother has been recuperating and retiring to Fengyi Hall for many years, and you are the same deputy queen, and you have worked hard to assist in all matters of the six palaces, which is really hard work." At this time, it is better to ......"

It's not hard to guess what she means when she doesn't finish.

If you just change the gun and upgrade it to a formal new queen, wouldn't it be justified to be able to preside over the funeral?

It's a good hand to oppose customers!

Emperor Wei was almost led by Bai Guifei's nose, and he immediately hesitated "ah" and hesitated:

"What the Lady of Music said is very true, the person who presides over the sacrifice should be the future mother of the country. Otherwise, the sacrifice is disrespectful, and it really shouldn't be. Since Xi'er has been in charge of the harem for many years, and he is quite popular, I don't think so-"

"-Father!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly propped himself up and shouted loudly.

He has always been cautious in his words and deeds in front of the emperor, especially polite, and rarely has he been so excited.

But at this moment, his years of forbearance were completely broken.

Chrysostom, the lord of a country, said that once he exited, it would be difficult to collect it, so he must not let his father really say that sentence!

Emperor Wei looked at the prince kneeling in front of Empress Xie's coffin with displeasure on his face, and a deep voice spat out a "Huh?" ”

The prince paused slightly, but he still had the courage to look directly at Tianwei and said bluntly:

"Father, it's not that the sons and daughters intend to contradict, it's just that the queen mother died less than a few days ago, and the soul is still alive...... Inappropriate. ”

Queen Xie Wan has just passed away on the front foot, and the first seven have not yet passed.

If Bai Guifei is corrected as the new queen to preside over Queen Xie's sacrificial funeral at this time, it will be equivalent to telling the world that the first queen Xie has no sacred heart, so what is his mother?

But there is still half a point of decency?

The little boy clutched his cuffs tightly, and the force was so great that his nails faintly scratched his palms, but he had no time to care about them at this time.

Emperor Wei's eyebrows were furrowed, and he was already very displeased, "Prince, you are really presumptuous!" Can you understand what is etiquette and what is the prince of heaven and earth? Xunyang Xie's family is famous all over the world and has the heart of literature, and your mother Su Ri taught you like this? ”

The wrath of the emperor swept through the hosts like a long sword.

"Elders, when will it be your turn to take care of your beak?"

Bai Guifei quietly raised her left eyebrow behind Emperor Wei, and a sneering smile flashed in her eyes.

It's just a mere child who will be reincarnated with a good fate, and the mantis arm is used as a car, how ridiculous?
