[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

Less than half a month after Baochai left the palace, the emperor's imperial decree arrived. Baochai bid farewell to her relatives and sisters in Rongguo Mansion, and entered Zhongshun Palace in a sedan chair.

Baochai's appearance and talent are unquestionable, plus she has a high emotional intelligence. Because she is a gifted person from the emperor, she soon won the favor of Prince Zhongshun. Although King Zhongshun is absurd, he is the emperor's brother after all. , quite knowledgeable, so there is still a bit of Sacred Heart, relatively, the power in his hand is not bad.

With the help of Prince Zhongshun, the Xue family has gained a firm foothold in the capital. I believe that as long as Xue Pan does not die, no one will easily provoke the Xue family.

Outside the palace, there was a lot of noise about the draft, but in the palace, they were very indifferent to the draft, as if they didn't care.

It seems that everyone knows a lot of things.

After the draft list was issued, when all the talented girls were gearing up to fight for success, the death knell sounded in the palace, the emperor was dead!

Now, I don't know how many people who want to send their daughters to the palace are gnashing their teeth. In order to show their filial piety, the emperor must order to exempt this year's draft, and it is useless for ministers to write letters.

There is an age limit for the general election. After the emperor is out of the filial piety period, three years later, this batch of show girls will have passed the age of the draft. It’s okay to have a second daughter at home. Only such a daughter, Anxious in my heart, I had no choice but to turn my attention to the same clan, and began to choose the next beautiful girl of the right age in the family.

Sure enough, on the day the Supreme Emperor passed away, the Ministry of Rituals was still busy drafting a posthumous title for the Supreme Emperor, and the Emperor issued an order saying that the Supreme Emperor passed away, and the world should feel the same grief, so the draft was canceled as a matter of course.

In ancient times, there was a system of filial piety. Sons and daughters were beheaded for three years for their parents, and grandchildren were beheaded for one year for both grandparents.

According to the etiquette, the emperor has to observe the filial piety for the Supreme Emperor for three years. Of course, it is actually 26 months. However, throughout the ages, no emperor has really observed the filial piety for three years.

If the emperor has no power in his hands, it’s okay to stop the court and observe filial piety. If he is in power, the whole country must not stop when he observes filial piety?Therefore, the Son of Heaven often replaces the month with the day, and uses 26 days to represent 26 months.

After drafting the posthumous title of the Supreme Emperor and preparing for the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, the ministers jointly signed a letter saying that the country cannot be left without the care of the king for a day, and the emperor is sad, but please take care of the people of the world, and replace the moon with the day.

The emperor refused, so the minister wrote the letter again, and after three times, the emperor approved the minister's performance.

Three requests and three concessions seem to have become a norm in the royal family.

When the Supreme Emperor left, he did not let Yingchun and other concubines go to guard him, only the emperor went, no one knew what the father and son who had been completely separated from each other said.

When Yingchun saw the emperor alone again, the emperor stood at a high place in the palace in filial piety, looking into the distance with an inexplicable expression.

"Niang Niang?" Xiuju called Yingchun who had stopped in her tracks.

When the Supreme Emperor passed away, let alone Yingchun, all the women in the harem would cry, let alone Yingchun and other leading concubines who held power in the palace.

Moreover, Xiao Pingan, the eldest son of the emperor under Yingchun, is the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest grandson of the Supreme Emperor. When the emperor had no sons born, Xiao Ping'an's identity had too much symbolic meaning. It's safe, although Little Ping'an is only a few months old.

The emperor is a cold person, but now, facing life and death, maybe he also has feelings in his heart, and he can't keep a cold heart.

Yingchun lowered her eyes, no, the emperor is not indifferent, from the doting and caring for little Chang'an, it can be seen that the emperor's heart is hot.

It's just that sometimes after a lot of pain, people have to be cold!

Yingchun glanced at the emperor, thought in her heart, and didn't step forward to disturb her. Maybe the emperor didn't want anyone to disturb her at this moment. With a sigh, Yingchun took people to the mourning hall of the Supreme Emperor.

The place where the emperor mourns for the Supreme Emperor is divided into several parts. The front part, where the coffin of the Supreme Emperor is placed, is the place where the emperor, princes, clan relatives, and ministers cry. Behind the partition is the palace. Of course, the imperial orders in Beijing also have their place of crying, you don't need Yingchun and others to worry about you, the Ministry of Rites has already arranged it properly.

It is early to welcome the spring, but there are already female family members in filial piety kneeling on the mourning hall and crying earnestly. They are the empresses and concubines of the Supreme Emperor.

Women in the palace had a hard time surviving, and the emperor favored the Zhen family. The Zhen family was hard to tolerate, and liked to torture and oppress others. In addition, the princes later took over the heir, because the son's involvement was even more damaging. There are so few concubines of the Supreme Emperor, so that there are no leading concubines in the Palace of the Supreme Emperor. The few who are kneeling now have survived because of their unremarkable appearance and low status. They hide in the remote palace like invisible Live like a human being.

Now that the Supreme Emperor passed away, they were crying sadly, but not for the Supreme Emperor, but for themselves.

When the Supreme Emperor was still there, even if they were concubines who fell out of favor, the palace would torture them, but now that the Supreme Emperor is dead, they worry about how to live in the future.

Will they be tortured to death and make room for them, or will they be buried with them directly, and die with a glass of poisoned wine?Ants still steal their lives, let alone humans?What's more, it's fine if they don't resent the Supreme Emperor, they are not willing to be buried with the resentful people!

Seeing Yingchun, although these concubines were suffering sadly, they still curtsied to Yingchun.

"No need!" Yingchun was stopped by someone.

If you keep the spirit, keep it well. In this kind of place, receiving gifts is probably to make people tell right from wrong.

Having the eldest prince is already eye-catching, and the competition for the queen's position is even more turbulent. Even if Yingchun's usual actions imply that she will not compete for the second place, she must be careful every step of the way.

After a while, Yingchun and the three concubines arrived. The three of them were dressed in filial piety, and they didn't dare to exchange greetings in the mourning hall. They quietly wiped away their tears, as if they were really grieving for the death of the Supreme Emperor.

Yingchun is a girl, she used to be innocent, and naturally she also lived a carefree life. At that time, she once read harem novels on a novel station called Jinjiang, and the main character cried when she needed to cry on some important occasions. When not coming out, there are often court ladies who prepare chili water and other things for the master, especially handkerchiefs or sleeves soaked in chili water. As long as they gently touch the eyes, tears will flow down.

Naturally, it is crying with sincerity and infinite grief!

However, not to mention arriving at the harem, Yingchun only realized how unreasonable and careless this setting was after arriving at the Rongguo Mansion!

No one is a fool, everyone knows whether you will be sad after this person's death.

Use such stimulating things to make tears, not to mention whether someone will listen to the news when you are preparing things, as long as people are a little closer to you and have a better sense of smell, it is not absolutely impossible for people to smell them.

Think about it, on important occasions, you are using those things to play a show, and suddenly a slave servant reports, in order to show your innocence, there must be an inspection, in front of so many people, if you come here, you will get all the stolen goods, let alone the above Will you be punished for the crimes of disrespect and bullying the emperor, even if your reputation is destroyed, everyone in the world will know!

If someone has a gap with you and wishes to get rid of you quickly, she will wish for you to use such a stupid trick so that others can easily grasp it.

People like Yingchun who can stand on the upper level of the harem, everyone is a movie queen, let alone crying sadly, she can give you different ways to cry in the [-]th high school, and tears come when you say it.

Therefore, at this moment, no one dared to use chili water and other things, but everyone cried miserably.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked the Eldest Prince to go to the front." Liu Yun quietly stepped forward to report.

Yingchun paused for a moment while wiping tears with a handkerchief.

Xiao Ping'an is the eldest son of the emperor and the only prince at present. Although he is only a few months old, he is the grandson of the Supreme Emperor.It doesn't matter if the child is ignorant, it doesn't matter if the child is too young and needs to be avoided, the people around him will take care of Xiao Ping's clothes and change them out of the way.

Therefore, when Yingchun came, Nanny Wei and Liuyun changed little Pingan's clothes, hugged little Pingan and followed Yingchun, not only little Pingan, but also the little princess beside Concubine Xian.

They didn't intend to let the children stay here with them for a long time, they just let Nanny Lu run away after a while, and Concubine Xian should have the same plan.

Yingchun's eyes flicked across Concubine Xian and the little princess behind her, and saw a court lady also whispering in Concubine Xian's ear, Concubine Xian's eyes turned to the little princess, Yingchun knew that the emperor should not just let people hug Xiaopingan Go to the front, and the little princess.

Concubine Xian's eyes looked this way, she happened to meet Yingchun's, one of them moved away after meeting, both of them told the maids around them to let people carry the child to the front according to the holy will.

In the mourning hall in front, the emperor is the head, Prince Zhongshun and Prince Zhongxiao are on the side, the old prince of the clan is behind, and after that are all civil and military officials.

Everyone was kneeling in sackcloth and filial piety, and the manly man had to cry bitterly at this moment.

Only the emperor, kneeling at the top, burned paper money with an indistinguishable expression.

After a while, a palace man approached with two babies in their arms.

The emperor's voice was a little hoarse, and he said without turning his head, "Let the eldest son and princess see their grandfather off!"

After the palace servants agreed in a low voice, Mammy Wei hugged the eldest son of the emperor, while the other mammy hugged the little princess and kowtowed before the coffin.

After the ceremony was over, the palace servants stepped forward to convey the emperor's will in a low voice, and Nanny Lu and the others went back to the harem with the child in their arms.

The unconferred princes and princesses are higher than the princes, so after the eldest son and princess leave, the princes and ministers who are lower than them kowtow and cry.

After that, there are the edicts.

In common sense, it should be the Empress Dowager or the Empress of the Palace who leads the edicts to cry for the Supreme Emperor.

However, the queen mother died young, and the queen is still under confinement in the Buddhist hall.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, a palace official came forward to report, "Qi Zou the emperor, the empress, please cry for the Supreme Emperor."

The ancients valued life and death, especially paying attention to retirement.

When the parents-in-law passed away, as the daughter-in-law, she had to take care of the funeral for her, cry her soul and keep her filial piety. Even if there were knives all over the world, there would be no delay.

The queen was already useless, if someone caught her again, she would be abolished without thinking about it.

It's just that I don't know if the queen's request is simply to protect herself or to turn around?
