Chapter 173: Hiring Her as the Queen
Regardless of whether the emperor was good or bad during his lifetime, as long as he failed to cause a catastrophe and died on the throne, it was a national mourning.
Xiao Shenggao is just past the age of not confused, and he has reigned for 20 years.
Looking back on his life, his merits are not obvious, and he is not great.
A mediocre life, guarding against this and that, in the end he has a good reputation, and the Cheng family's affairs must be a black spot in his life that can never be erased.
The incense in Yong'an Palace was full of incense, and Xiao Shenggao's coffin knelt in front of the royal family in white shirts.
Several princes knelt in the first place, with sad faces.
Xiao Shenggao does not have many concubines, after the queen was sent, the harem is the master of Concubine Yi.
Her son, who is only five years old this year, lies in his mother's arms, and does not know how to die.
Concubine Yi's eyes were red, and although she was kneeling, she looked at the coffin with a little resentment.
In silence, she looked at Cheng Jingyu, who was kneeling at the end of the princess column.
The other party also happened to raise his eyes, looking at each other, Cheng Jingyu was calm, and Concubine Yi scrutinized.
In fact, Concubine Yi had already realized that something was wrong, even though the emperor was wrong, but he was guided step by step, first broke up with the Yu family, and the crown prince fell.
Now the courtiers are supporting the fifth prince Xiao Yi to ascend to the throne, and Xiao Yi's temperament will not pose any threat to the Cheng family.
What a big move.
She originally thought that the queen had lost her threat, "Why do you have to kneel, this is the fulfillment of filial piety?" ”
"That should also be the person who has been touched by the emperor's grace kneeling, what are we kneeling, Your Majesty is gone, we will not be in a miserable situation in the future."
"Shh, Concubine Yu, be quiet, don't you see Princess Jingyu still kneeling?"
"How can she be the same as us, her father is the Hou Ye, she is a princess, she is extremely noble, the fifth highness is on the throne, maybe she will be crowned queen, after all, the new majesty must not rely on the support of the Cheng family?"
No one dared to answer these words, and a few eyes fell on Cheng Jingyu uneasily.
The meaning of the scrutiny is quite obvious.
Who doesn't think that Cheng Jingyu is now the sweetheart of the entire Western Chu?
She was born in the Cheng family and has the title of princess, even if the emperor dies, the title will not change.
She is not like Xiao Shenggao's children, who don't know where to go after the new emperor ascends the throne, on the contrary, she still has Cheng Xi firmly to rely on.
As long as the military power in the northwest does not fall behind others for a day, Cheng Jingyu does not have to worry about the situation for a day.
And Xiao Yi was empty-handed, and more than one person guessed that he would ask to marry Cheng Jingyu.
What a blessing!
There is Xiao Yu in front and Xiao Yi in the back, when Cheng Jingyu was reincarnated, could it be that he opened the eyes of heaven?
Cheng Jingyu also seemed to sense her gaze, she raised her head and swept over everyone with a cold expression.
Until a voice came: "What's the noise?!" You can't keep your mouths shut in the Dian Hall! ”
It's Xiao Yat.
The corners of his eyes were red, and he was almost the only person in this hall who was really sad about Xiao Shenggao's death.
The quasi-new emperor spoke out, and whoever dared to talk casually was silenced.
At night, there were too many people gathered in the hall in early summer, and it was inevitably sweltering.
The young prince and princess cried, and the palace people couldn't coax it.
Cheng Jingyu's back also had a layer of fine sweat, and her knees hurt a little.
Under the sideways gaze of the people in the first hall, Cheng Jingyu suddenly got up.
Chunhua hurriedly supported her, not knowing what Cheng Jingyu was going to do.
But her master has become less and less talkative recently, and today, in front of all the royal relatives, he was the first to leave.
No one dared to stop it.
Even the ceremonial officer in charge of the funeral only dared to bow his waist and get out of the way.
…… This princess of the Cheng family is very different now, and no one dares to provoke her.
But Cheng Jingyu didn't leave, she stood outside the courtyard in white clothes, looking at the entire silent palace.
"Princess, are you still in?" Chunhua glanced at her face and asked cautiously.
"No, kneeling for so long is a kindness he really had to me when I was a child." Cheng Jingyu's tone was light.
"Hmm...... The funeral will be sent tomorrow, so let's go home early, right? ”
This Yong'an Palace is usually a side hall, only when there is a big funeral in the palace is opened, this time it is silent, falling under the night, it is particularly gloomy.
Especially in the past two days, the incense and candles have continued, and the Yong'an Palace has been smoked.
Cheng Jingyu eased up in the yard for a while, and her knees didn't hurt so much before she nodded: "Let's go." ”
But as soon as he stepped out of Yong'an Palace, he was greeted by two familiar figures.
Fu Yanci is a proton, Nie Wenxun is a guest, and he shouldn't have come to this kind of place in the first place.
But I don't shy away from it.
This is the first time Cheng Jingyu has seen Fu Yanci after returning to Kyoto for two days.
He still has that windless and moonless expression, so that people can't guess what he is thinking.
Sometimes it even makes Cheng Jingyu wonder if the person who was ruthless in front of her that day was him.
The hand in the sleeve moved slightly, and grabbed the mutton fat jade.
Cheng Jingyu was slightly blessed when she was two steps away from the other party: "Your Royal Highness, two are good." ”
This gift is thoughtful, and the appearance of low eyebrows is ...... Nie Wenxun looked at Fu Yanci in surprise.
But the other party obviously didn't want to pay attention to him, and his eyes were locked on Cheng Jingyu.
Chunhua shrank back, since she felt more and more that Fu Yan was wrong, she was only more and more afraid of him.
Especially in Sin Chew, he also injured Cheng Jingyu.
It also made Cheng Jingyu's personality change recently.
So I couldn't have a good impression of this person, only fear.
"Get up, you're welcome." After waiting for a while, Fu Yan didn't say anything, and then Nie Wenxun raised his hand.
He was also confused, and he didn't know what kind of dumb riddle these two ancestors were playing.
Fu Yanci also said that he had his own ideas, and look, Cheng Jingyu didn't look like he wanted to reconcile with him.
But anyway, it's not him who makes people angry, he just watches the play on the wall.
Cheng Jingyu shook slightly when she straightened up, but fortunately, Chunhua cleverly held on.
The knee should be black, otherwise it wouldn't be so painful.
Seeing this, Nie Wenxun quipped: "The princess is really filial, the first emperor treats you like this, and you still kneel to him sincerely." ”
"When I was a child, he was sincere to me," Cheng Jingyu didn't look at Fu Yanci: "You should give it back to him." ”
She's like that, sometimes her heart is hard, sometimes it's soft.
In the past, everything was perfect, but now it is not possible.
But please be worthy of your heart.
She rubbed the piece of jade with her fingertips again, and even gave birth to a slight warmth, and after making up her mind, she was about to speak to Fu Yanci, but she was taken a step ahead.
Xiao Yi didn't know how to come out of the hall, he looked tired, his face was a little pale, but his eyes were red.
Nie Wenxun immediately greeted him: "Your Highness is mourning, but don't be too sad." ”
They all know that Xiao Yi is in love, and it is his father who died well, and it is impossible for him not to be sad.
Xiao Yi brushed Nie Wenxun's hand away, he looked at Fu Yanci, and then at Cheng Jingyu.
He has really experienced a lot in the past two days, and the holy decree of succession has been stamped with the jade seal, but he doesn't know what to do.
To take such a big plate in his hand, he only felt panic and helpless
At the moment, some people are like drowning, desperate for help.
So he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and slowly opened his lips in a hoarse voice: "Fu Yan resigned..... You're going to go back to Dajing sooner or later, you'..... You and Jingyu won't have a result, so, should I hire her as a backhand? ”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other three people present changed suddenly.
