Chapter 2223 Lost Etiquette
Ran Xiaoyu shook her head, brought a spoonful of porridge to her mouth, and said, "Of course the emperor is angry."
“…”
"You were so upset, but you didn't say anything. The emperor scolded everyone who followed you, especially Tingfu, who was even beaten with a stick."
"ah?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she felt a little sad.
Indeed, she felt uncomfortable at the time, but how could she be hypocritical at the Queen's funeral? She just gritted her teeth and endured.
Unexpectedly——
She whispered, "Is Tingfu okay?"
Ran Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "Fortunately, it was only twenty strokes of the cane. The emperor was a little angry, so no one dared to say anything. He is recuperating in the back room. Actually, he is not seriously injured, just his butt is swollen."
Nan Yan had also tasted that feeling.
She smiled bitterly and said, "Send him some medicine later."
"I know."
As she spoke, Nan Yan looked up again and realized that this was not her Yiku Palace.
But the emperor's bedroom.
She said, "Here, you brought me here."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "That's not us."
"Um?"
"It was His Majesty. After Your Majesty fainted in the mourning hall, Your Majesty personally carried you back home."
“…”
"The Yikun Palace has already begun renovations, so we can't go back there. The Emperor brought you directly to the bedroom."
Hearing this, Nan Yan's face turned slightly red.
Another white.
When she thought of that scene, all the civil and military officials, as well as the ladies of the court were kowtowing and keeping vigil in the Ji Yan Hall, and not only did she faint, but she even had the emperor carry her back to life.
It's so embarrassing.
She sighed softly and said, "It's all my fault."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Don't blame yourself, Madam."
“…”
"Not to mention you, Madam Queen, even Madam Shunfei fainted."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was startled for a moment before she remembered that, indeed, the person who was most saddened by the death of the late Empress, apart from the Emperor and Prince Wei, was Concubine Shun.
She had been with the emperor since she was a child. After the empress married into the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the two of them had always been in harmony and had spent the longest time together among the concubines in the harem.
How could she not be sad when someone she had been with day and night passed away?
She asked, "Is she better?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "The Emperor also went to see her and sent the imperial physician over. He said she was heartbroken, but there wasn't anything serious wrong with her and she only needed to rest for two days."
Nan Yan nodded.
She then asked, "What about the other concubines? And the wives of the princes and nobles, how are they doing?"
Ran Xiaoyu pouted: "My lady, you asked so many questions just after you woke up."
Nan Yan smiled bitterly.
Said: "Have you forgotten what my current identity is?"
“…”
"The late Empress has passed away. As the head of all the concubines, I cannot ignore her."
“…”
"Now is the funeral period, these concubines and ladies must not be in any danger."
Ran Xiaoyu sighed and could only say, "Those nobles and their wives have received the imperial decree and are mourning inside Sishan Gate. It will take three days for them to return."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "What day is it today?"
"The next day. Your Majesty, you fainted yesterday. The Emperor brought you back, and you slept the entire day."
"Well, has anyone arranged tea and meals?"
"Well……"
Upon hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu was stunned.
Nan Yan's face suddenly darkened.
It is the ancestral custom that princes and noble ladies mourn for three days inside Sishan Gate, but if they are not provided with tea and food, wouldn’t that be a violation of etiquette?
