Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

Chapter 20 If there is a national mourning, everyone in the world will know about it

In the summer of the 13th year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor and Concubine Xi lived in the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat. By August, the emperor became more and more dependent on Hongli, and every day he called him to his side and asked him to assist in government affairs.

Even in the small backyard of Prince Bao’s mansion, there was a hint of impending storm.

August 23rd was the day when everyone in the palace came to pay their respects to Zhen Huan. In the morning of this day, Zhen Huan, as usual, put on a kind smile and gave instructions to everyone one by one. She told Xiyue not to be greedy for coolness, told Chu Ying to teach Yonghuang patiently, told Qingying to discipline the servants and not to cause trouble, and told Lujun to take good care of herself.

After everyone had expressed their concern, Zhen Huan once again urged everyone to be as close as sisters and not to be jealous and plot to disturb the peace of the palace.

After everyone answered yes, Zhen Huan told them to leave. At this time, Wang Qin, Hongli's personal eunuch, staggered into the room, crying, "Oh no, Fu Jin, the emperor has passed away."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room was shocked. Zhen Huan knew that this day would come sooner or later. Now it was the same time as in her previous life, and the process did not change because of her arrival. She felt relieved, but pretended to be shocked.

Gao Xiyue had never experienced the death of a loved one since she was a child. When she suddenly heard the news of the emperor's death, she couldn't help but scream. Realizing that something was wrong, she quickly covered the remaining half of her scream with her hand.

Qingying looked anxious, interrupting the conversation between Zhen Huan and Wang Qin, and asked, "Where is the prince?" Zhen Huan rolled her eyes secretly, of course he was waiting for the edict of the secret succession in front of the bed, playing the role of a filial son and grandson, where else could he be. You are obvious, the only true love in the audience.

Zhen Huan looked down and saw that everyone's faces were filled with more joy than worry. Very good, we are all women who only covet Hongli's status. In this world, only Qingying's love is pure.

Zhen Huan has been secretly preparing since August. Although everyone knows that Hongli is the next emperor, the period of power transfer is sensitive and unexpected incidents are inevitable.

The Prince Bao's mansion was now heavily guarded. Zhen Huan ordered everyone in the mansion to change their clothes and wear mourning clothes according to the regulations. She also sent maids to teach the etiquette of the national funeral in each courtyard, waiting for Hongli to send someone to summon them to the palace to mourn.

Zhen Huan changed into mourning clothes, took off her hairpins and jewelry, and according to regulations, she only pinned a white silk flower sent from the palace on her hair.

Just when Zhen Huan was comforting the children, Nanny Chang, who was on duty at Aoxue Courtyard, came to see her urgently. Zhen Huan secretly hated that Qingying was making trouble again. Now that the old emperor had passed away, it was officially her turn in the story world. If she didn't make trouble, she wouldn't be able to show her uniqueness.

Zhen Huan couldn't help but reflect on whether she was so inappropriate when she was the heroine.

After Nanny Chang came in to report, Zhen Huan was speechless. Isn't it a bit childish to rely on makeup to stand out?

When Zhen Huan rushed to Aoxue Courtyard, she saw Qingying with her hair carefully combed into soft wings, and a hydrangea flower with rice beads and some silver ornaments with kingfisher feathers in her hair. Although the armor on her fingers was made of plain silver, it was particularly eye-catching.

"Princess Qing, during the period of national mourning, we must strictly abide by the rules and etiquette, and follow the regulations of the Ministry of Rites. Don't be willful and put the prince and Prince Bao's mansion in an unjust position."

Qingying was angry and indignant when she heard what Zhen Huan said. She couldn't help but pout and fight back, "Fujin is too overbearing. She put such a label on me just for the matter of dressing up. Mourning is in the human heart. It's hypocritical to pursue appearance blindly."

Time is pressing, Zhen Huan does not want to talk to her any more, and orders Ningxia and Chang Ma to act according to the rules. Chang Ma knows that this matter is serious, and has long been dissatisfied with Qingying. She is not afraid of death, but I am afraid of being implicated and blamed. Now that I have the support of Fu Jin, I am not a delicate little girl, I have plenty of strength and means.

Nanny Chang pulled out a sandalwood ruler from her sleeve and hit Qingying on the crotch. Qingying felt her knees go weak and she knelt on the ground. Nanny Chang ordered two maids to hold Qingying down and reached out to untie her hair.

Suo Xin glanced at A Ruo, not knowing what to do. A Ruo signaled her with her eyes that she should just pretend. The two looked at Ning Xia again, and said, "Good sister, please love us."

All they could hear was A'ruo arguing loudly with Ningxia, while惢心 could only shout "Princess, Princess" at the top of her lungs. Unfortunately, it was useless, as Ningxia had some kung fu skills and could stop the two of them from moving an inch.

Nanny Chang quickly changed Qingying's hairstyle and was about to reach out to take off her armor.

Qingying grabbed her hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and her voice became hoarse from the grievance in her throat. "Madame Chang, I beg you. The armor is my dignity. Please leave it to me."

Matron Chang: "Princess, now you are kneeling on the ground begging me, I dare not accept it, but this is against the rules, I really don't have the courage to agree to you. Since you want to be decent, why don't you dress properly and go to meet your wife early."

After saying this, Madam Chang grabbed Qingying's hand, ruthlessly pulled it, and tore off Qingying's armor. No wonder Qing Gege said that the armor was her dignity. Her hand without the armor was indeed a bit uglier.

Regardless of the chaos in Aoxue Garden, Hongli's men had already arrived at the palace. When Zhen Huan saw the handwritten letter brought by Hongli, she knew that everything was settled and the handover of power was completed without any trouble.

At this moment, except for Qingying, everyone else has already arrived at Zhen Huan's courtyard. Zhen Huan sent Lianxin to urge them twice, but luckily they arrived in time. Everyone rushed to the palace in a mighty manner, heading towards their new stage of life.

After entering the Qianqing Gate, Zhen Huan and Hongli could only look at each other from a distance. Zhen Huan thought that he saw them coming and his eyes were looking for her childhood sweetheart.

Unexpectedly, he just looked at me steadily, and there was a sense of relief and grievance in his eyes, like a homeless little animal that had found a safe haven.

The late emperor had been ill for more than a month, and although Hongli was mentally prepared, he still felt sad about the arrival of this day. He was almost the only candidate for the crown prince, but after the late emperor's death, it was inevitable that some people would have some thoughts.

The previous emperor passed away in the Old Summer Palace, and Hongli carried the coffin back to the palace. Thanks to the escort of the Fucha family along the way, he felt a little relieved.

The desire for power that is about to be acquired, the vigilance against the complex forces in the court, the confusion about the unknown road, and the longing for his father, all of these feelings were mixed.

Fortunately, when he was most troubled, his Langya came. She was the wife who supported him in his previous dynasty, gave birth to his children, and managed his harem.

Even if the road ahead is a little confusing, there will always be someone loyal to you; even if your father is gone and your home is gone, there will always be a wife who lights an oil lamp and waits for you.

Hongli thought he was not an emotional person, but at this juncture, he couldn't help it.

When the late emperor passed away, everyone wore mourning clothes and the whole country was in grief. Weddings, funerals and entertainment activities were suspended for one month to mourn for the late emperor.

In the Forbidden City, cries of grief were heard one after another. The children were sincere in their grief. The previous emperor had few children, and he loved Hongli's children like treasures.

The adults, however, had their own thoughts, but they dared not show them. Even Qingying did not dare to act differently. Thus ended the reign of an emperor.
