Chapter 173: The Queen Mother's Funeral



Even if the truth was exposed, she couldn't find any other excuses to get away with it.

The Queen Mother suddenly felt a headache. They were both granddaughters. Po was a happy eater and innocent, bringing her a new life.

But the girl from Xuan'er's family insisted on sending her the Ksitigarbha Sutra! She even wrote it word by word. The more seriously she wrote it, the more effort she put into the salvation. She must have really wanted to send her old bones away.

"Go to Prince Han's mansion and give the things to Prince Han. Don't let that girl Luan'er leave the mansion today, and she doesn't need to attend the palace banquet tonight."

The old lady quickly responded with a yes.

Prince Han’s Mansion.

Di Hongluan waited in the mansion for more than an hour, and finally someone came from the palace.

She happily said to Princess Han beside her, "Mom, hurry up, someone from the palace is here to invite us."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cining Palace was a place where even the concubines and princes were not allowed to enter, and the Empress Dowager did not see them. If only Princess Han and Di Hongluan were invited there, and word got out, this treatment... I wonder how many people would be jealous.

Princess Han had returned long ago and had carefully dressed up, while Di Hongluan wore a simple white dress.

She learned from the plot that the Empress Dowager liked Buddhism and simple life, and especially disliked ostentatious sex.

When someone came from the palace, he saw Di Hongluan in plain clothes and almost fell down.

"The Empress Dowager has ordered that the little princess be confined to her room for the entire day and not be allowed to attend the palace banquet in the evening."

Di Hongluan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head in confusion, and simply stood up, holding his chin high, "My Lords, did you misdeliver the imperial edict? How could the Empress Dowager not allow me to enter the palace during the New Year's Day?"

There will be a palace banquet in the evening!

It was a good opportunity to make friends with the powerful in Beijing, and the daughters of prominent families were trying their best to get in.

"What are you talking about, little princess? The Empress Dowager has spoken, how dare we spread it?" The eunuch sighed and shook his head.

Emperor Hongluan was twisting her clothes and thinking, "Something is wrong, something must be wrong."

She had clearly given the Empress Dowager her favorite gift, a Buddhist scripture she had copied herself after staying up late for several nights, showing her sincerity. How come she ended up being confined to her room?

Here, Princess Han's face had turned pale. After repeated questioning, the eunuchs became a little impatient. It was New Year's Day, and who didn't want to have a good start? But they had to be questioned in Prince Han's Mansion.

Walk away.

Before leaving, the eunuchs could no longer bear it. "The little princess is young and naive, and Princess Han is also naive. The little princess is wearing plain clothes and giving that thing to the Queen Mother. Is this... New Year's Day or a funeral? She is so naive! "

This person is also an elder person around the Queen Mother. Naturally, they learned from the old grandmother why the Queen Mother was unhappy today.

After the few people left, King Han came over with a livid face, supported by someone.

There's no way, he can't see and he can't be alone.

"Father, sob, sob..." Di Hongluan burst into tears. Her father loved her the most. She wanted to tell him all her grievances today and let him make the decision for her. "Grandmother Empress is biased. She only likes Di Jiaoyang and doesn't like me. But I am also her granddaughter. Why..."

"You're still talking! Did you deliver Buddhist scriptures to the Empress today?"

Di Hongluan was stunned. "Yes, I did, Father. I prepared this carefully just to please the Empress Dowager. Doesn't the Empress Dowager love scriptures the most? Did I send the wrong thing?"

Prince Han frowned and spoke in a stern tone, "You should be careful about when to send scriptures. Your grandmother likes scriptures, so you should be careful about what kind of scriptures you send.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you sent the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Are you trying to send your grandmother away? The eunuchs just said that you were wearing plain clothes. Luan'er, you don't want to let our Hanwang Mansion have peace during the Lunar New Year, right? Who doesn't celebrate in the family?"

Di Hongluan smacked her lips. She she she hadn't expected so much.

Here, you have to choose the right time to send something as a gift?

"Father, I have also inquired about it. Emperor Jiaoyang did not give anything to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager hugged her all day today. I heard that she also gave her a big red envelope! Father, the Empress Dowager is biased. Those who gave gifts were confined, and those who did not give gifts received a big red envelope. Why is that?"

This was the first time that King Han was so angry with his daughter.

He had always thought that Di Hongluan was smart and calm enough, different from other children. Now he saw that he was really different. He was even more arrogant and conceited than other children!

"Luan'er, you don't understand your grandmother. The old lady loves family happiness and laughter the most. But you are so cunning and angry with A-bao on the first day of the new year. It's your father's fault. I have neglected to discipline you and spoiled you. You should stay in the mansion today and don't go anywhere!"

Di Hongluan's face turned pale, and she sat down on the ground, crying loudly, "Even my father doesn't like me anymore, Abao, Abao, does my father like Di Bao too? I am obviously your biological daughter, wuwuwu."

Cry once, make a fuss, and cry three times, my father is most susceptible to this.

She wants to make her father heartbroken!

Before Prince Han felt sorry for her, Princess Han couldn't help but said, "Prince, why are you training Luan'er? Luan'er is only ten years old. What does a ten-year-old know?"

"You've gotten used to it!"

King Han's heart sank and he left in anger.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Abao was so happy that he received so many red envelopes that his hands were filled with them.

"Happy New Year……"

"Hello, fellow brewers..."

"Hello, Pot Sisters..."

The little guy looked like a lucky doll, and because he was the youngest in the palace, the concubines stuffed him with red envelopes wherever he went. The little princesses and eunuchs also liked Abao very much and would take out red envelopes and stuff one for the little girl.

A basket full of big and small ones.

Abao was happily counting red envelopes in Cining Temple.

[Chinese New Year is great, we can eat meat and get red envelopes]

[It would be nice if it was Chinese New Year every day, it’s too busy]

The Queen Mother was so happy looking at the little girl who was sitting on the blanket counting money and giggling that she couldn't stop smiling.

Look, this is a child.

Children’s happiness is so simple, they just want to celebrate New Year’s Day every day.

"During the New Year, I will take some money from my private treasury and distribute it to the various palaces in the name of the Tenth Princess. I will also give some to the servants to celebrate."

The old lady replied, "Yes."

Po's happy day ended. He had a great time today and went to bed early at night.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, concubines would return to their parents' homes.

Defei took Abao back to the general's mansion.

Su Jinye went to the battlefield half a year ago to make achievements.

Su Laoer went to study abroad and was told that he would not be back until after the Chinese New Year.

Su Laosan went out to do business, and he would not return home until he made something successful.

There were only the two old men in the general's mansion. They went to play with Concubine De, the tyrant and the little girl in the general's mansion for a whole day.

According to the customs of the Tiansheng Dynasty, the third day of the Lunar New Year was the day for the royal family to worship their ancestors.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, just after midnight, Abao was called up by Concubine De. Today was different from the previous two days which were full of joy and excitement. Abao opened his eyes in a daze and found that the atmosphere in the palace was more solemn and quiet than usual.

Po couldn't help but become serious and stopped smiling, "Cool kiss..."
