Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Where did Zhao Sansi wait for these cumbersome etiquettes? He was dumbfounded when he heard it, and could only pretend to understand, and then said dignifiedly, "It's all according to the adults."

When these arrangements were made, it was already Youshi, and the imperial dining room had already prepared fast meals for the princes and ministers staying in the palace.There is no oil in the vegetarian meal, and brown rice is used. Everyone’s meals are treated equally. The rice in the big pot is very hard. Zhao Sansi was dizzy from the busy day.

Seeing that she was suffering from eating, Li Zhongxian waved away the crowd, and secretly ordered the small kitchen to steam some meat buns for her.

"Elder-in-law has a heart." Zhao Sansi looked at the meat buns and couldn't eat any more, but he still picked up one and gnawed it absent-mindedly. After worrying about the whole day, he endured and endured, but couldn't help asking, "Did the imperial concubine come during the encoffining?"

As the successor emperor, she had to kneel at the front, follow the etiquette of the Ministry of Rites, and lead the people behind to kneel three times and nine times. At that time, she didn't dare to be distracted, so she didn't dare to pay attention to the people behind.

"Here we come." Li Zhongxian nodded, "I'm busy today, I'm afraid that the matter of this old servant going to Changle Palace to announce your order has not been spread, otherwise all the officials may have come to ask for your summons a long time ago."

"Tomorrow at the latest, if they don't come to look for me, I'm going to talk to them." Zhao Sansi lowered her eyes, frowned and took a sip of the light soup. ...When the father-in-law went to Changle Palace to announce the order, did the imperial concubine say anything?"

"The noble concubine said that everything is according to your arrangement. The old servant looked at the noble concubine with a calm expression. But... Miss Chan'er is very excited." Li Zhongxian paused for a moment, then said carefully: "I'm afraid... I will hate you."

"Cicada is a lively girl, but she treats the imperial concubine very sincerely." Zhao Sansi was not surprised, and took another bun and gnawed it. Go clean up, the imperial concubine is used to a good life, I'm afraid she's not used to it."

Li Zhongxian nodded, and glanced at Zhao Sansi for a while, seeing that she was still eating when she couldn't eat, and was afraid that she would spoil her stomach, "If your highness can't eat anymore, don't force it, the old slave will secretly bring it to you later. some pastries."

Zhao Sansi shook his head, "I want to listen to the imperial concubine and eat well when it's time to eat."

Li Zhongxian felt sad inexplicably, a thought suddenly came to his mind, he paused, and then said cautiously: "Concubine Xi from now on..."

"I will go to welcome the imperial concubine in the future."

Li Zhongxian's eyelids twitched, and the phrase "His Royal Highness will welcome the noble concubine out in the future?" When he saw Zhao Sansi eating the steamed stuffed bun seriously, he suddenly fell into his stomach again. He dared not I thought about it.

After using the aftermath, the funeral continued, and Zhao Sansi still went to the Minggan Hall to kneel to guard Zhao Jin's coffin.Zhao Jin has no heirs, except for her royal brother. Although there are several royal sisters, they are all married, because they all went to the place where they took office with their concubines, and they were not in the imperial city. The performance was held at the Meridian Gate, so apart from the guards in the Minggan Hall, it was Zhao Sansi who guarded Zhao Jin's Zi Palace.

In order to show his filial piety and reluctance to the Daxing Emperor, Emperor Si usually had to keep watch all night by himself, but the courtiers usually came to persuade him at the third quarter of Haishi, and Emperor Si postponed it until the end of Haishi before leaving.

Zhao Sansi didn't care so much. When Li Zhongxian brought the prime minister and Tai Tuo and others to persuade him, she didn't wait for anyone to talk about Dali for the country and the people.

The people who came to persuade: "..."

Zhao Sansi didn't care what they thought, anyway, she just listened to Concubine Xi's words, when it's time to rest, she should take a good rest.Because there were a lot of things to do in the past few days, Li Zhongxian arranged for her to rest in the Nuan Pavilion of Minggan Palace for convenience. Chang took turns keeping vigil outside.

The next day, before Mao's hour, Huarong knocked on the door outside to call for someone.Zhao Sansi stared in a daze of sleep, hugged the quilt and rolled around before remembering something, woke up instantly, yelled outside, and ordered Huarong to come in and serve him.

During the national funeral, everything was kept simple, and there were not so many rules in the past when serving the master. Huarong came in alone, helping her arrange her clothes, and at the same time passed on the news from Li Zhongxian, "Princess Mingzhao received the news and brought her son-in-law He entered the palace overnight, and now he is already in the palace, Eunuch Li said, do you want to attract people to visit you?"

Zhao Sansi didn't have much impression of the other royal sisters except Minghe Huangjie who liked to bully her, "Princess Mingzhao?"

Hua Rong came over knowingly, "Princess Mingzhao is your second imperial sister, and the son-in-law Lu Ke was the champion of the new discipline back then. After the next generation, the emperor named his son-in-law the Marquis of Longping, who will serve as the governor of Liuzhou. In addition, Princess Mingshao is His Highness's Third Sister, and Princess Minghe, who went away to get married, is your Fourth Sister."

Zhao Sansi nodded, secretly remembered it in his heart, and pondered for a moment, "So, I will call the second imperial sister, and order the palace people to prepare filial piety, but I will take the imperial sister to pay homage to the imperial brother."

Hua Rong bowed her body to answer, went out and ordered the palace servants to invite her, and then hurried to the small kitchen to bring out the prepared breakfast, "Today, some clan relatives and officials from other places will come one after another, Your Highness must be I’m busy, so I’d better use something first.”

Zhao Sansi did not refuse. After using the things, Princess Mingzhao happened to bring Lu Ke and the prince over.

The author has something to say:

First of all, let me explain. A reader Baobao reminded me that the younger brother should be called the emperor's younger brother. I checked the information and found out that the prince is really the title of the emperor's son as the emperor's son. The younger brother should be called the emperor's younger brother. Modifications were made.

Then, today is the Lantern Festival, happy Lantern Festival everyone.

Finally, I said before that Chapter 19 will send red envelopes to everyone. Because there is no Jinjiang coin, it has not been distributed, and I will make it up today.Hahaha, I hope you don't complain about me as a liar in your heart.For those who give 520 Jinjiang coins, I will choose the fifth, second, and first ones-the early bird catches the worm! ! !Hahaha.

Chapter 23

Although Princess Mingzhao was the first emperor's daughter of the first emperor, she was not favored.She was born of Concubine Wan. Concubine Wan was a concubine of the late emperor's mansion. Her temper looked dull and she was not liked by the late emperor. Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, she thought that she kept her own life, made her a nobleman, and gave birth to Mingzhao. , just when foreign enemies invaded, the first emperor personally conscripted, no one mentioned the promotion of status, so she has always been a nobleman, until she became seriously ill after a long period of illness, and for the sake of joy, she was named a concubine in one fell swoop, and the status was raised.

Princess Mingzhao didn't grow up by her side since she was a child, but Concubine Ning who raised her at that time was a violent temper, and would take out her anger on her if something went wrong, she didn't dare to complain because she was young, and because of her lack of looks and talent, the late emperor treated her The eldest daughter can't be said to like it.As time passed, she didn't have much sense of presence in the palace. Instead, she got married and became more and more popular.

All in all, Princess Mingzhao's childhood experience was not as good as Zhao Sansi's younger brother, so when she heard that Zhao Jin had made this younger brother who grew up in a corner as the crown prince, she did not have any intention of looking down on her, and led her son-in-law and the eldest son. Kneel down respectfully and salute.

"Sister Huang, you don't need to be too polite." Zhao Sansi hurriedly helped Ming Zhao up with his own hands. Seeing her kindness, she probably always remembered that she was a daughter, and felt a little close to such a gentle sister. She sat on the couch beside her, and turned her head to ask Huarong to grant a seat to Lu Ke and Xiao Shizi.

It was the first time for Princess Mingzhao to see this imperial younger brother, and she had heard about this imperial younger brother from the son-in-law. She thought that she had such a chance encounter, but now that she has "reached the Tao and ascended to heaven", she must be a showy and powerful master who is difficult to get along with. She was thin and small, with red and swollen eyes, but she was overflowing with maternal love. She patted her hand, "You are welcome, Emperor Taidi, I haven't gone to pay homage yet..."

Princess Mingzhao choked up again as she spoke. She and Zhao Jin were not close, but she had been taken care of by this imperial brother by accident. Thinking that such a good person died so young, she felt sad, suddenly After a while, he continued, "If I had received the news that Brother Huang was seriously ill earlier, I would have entered the palace earlier, so that I wouldn't even see Brother Huang for the last time..."

"Princess Mingzhao, please don't cry in front of His Highness." Hua Rong came in with tea, and seeing Princess Mingzhao wiping her tears again, she hurriedly persuaded, "Your Highness's tears haven't stopped yesterday. Cry, I'm afraid it will make her cry again."

"It's Huang Jie who lost her composure, don't take it to heart." Princess Ming Zhao quickly took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, then took a sip of tea.

Zhao Sansi shook her head, and after a day's delay, she resigned herself to her fate and accepted the fact that her imperial brother had passed away, but she was soft-hearted, and she really didn't want to see others shed her tears, so she didn't blame Huarong for talking too much, and she also pursed her mouth Tea, and went to say hello to Lu Ke again.
