Chapter 227 Overthrowing
the Queen Mother If what Concubine Rong said was true, then... wouldn't that mean that the current Queen Mother is the murderer of the Emperor's mother? Back then,
the late Emperor doted on Concubine Jing Gui, just as Emperor Xuanwu doted on Concubine Xian. He was afraid that she would melt if he held her in his mouth, and that she would break if he held her in his hands.
But such a beautiful lady who enjoyed the emperor's doting died in the year when the late Emperor loved her the most, because she was too sad to give birth to a princess who died.
Concubine Jing Gui died at the age of 22.
The late Emperor also died of exhaustion at the age of 30. It is hard to say that he did not miss Concubine Jing Gui.
"If the Empress Dowager still wants to say that I am talking nonsense, she can just ask the Emperor to search the Cining Palace!"
Concubine Rong used her ultimate killer move: "The Empress Dowager knew that she had committed a serious sin, and she built a secret small Buddhist temple in the side room behind the bedroom. She replaced the little princess's body with a dead cat and enshrined it in the small Buddhist temple. The Empress Dowager has been burning incense every day, hoping that the little princess can be reborn in a good way in the next life."
After these words came out, the Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with despair, and she fell down on the chair, and passed out.
Jiang Xinyue glanced at Pei Wu. She knew that Pei Wu had gone to the Suspension Mirror to see Concubine Rong, and then returned to Cining Palace to tell the Empress Dowager about Concubine Rong's situation.
The current situation should be that Pei Wu deliberately passed the message in the middle, making Concubine Rong think that the Queen Mother wanted her to be a scapegoat and bear all the charges.
Then she told the Queen Mother that Concubine Rong was arrested on purpose, and she had a backup plan, so that the Queen Mother should not intervene, so as not to destroy Concubine Rong's plan.
The information gap caused misunderstandings between the two.
Fortunately, there were no mobile phones in ancient times, otherwise Pei Wu would be easily exposed for lying to both sides.
The Queen Mother never dreamed that Pei Wu entered the palace not to gain the favor of the emperor and bring glory to the family.
She wanted to cooperate with the emperor, overthrow the Queen Mother, and then leave the palace to find the person who really pleased her.
What if Princess Ruyang doesn't want her to be her daughter-in-law?
Since she refused to be the Crown Prince's Consort, the Crown Prince rejected all the candidates arranged by Princess Ruyang for him, including Pei Wu's sister.
I heard that her grandfather felt ashamed and had hurriedly married her sister off far away.
She should have never expected that the good marriage she wanted to get at all costs would fail because she couldn't get the Crown Prince's true heart!
A good memorial service for the Queen was made so much by the Queen Mother. The Emperor deliberately magnified the matter and turned it into a meeting for the Queen Mother to deal with.
This party has nothing to do with Jiang Xinyue. Of course, she went back to Hexi Palace to play with the Fourth Prince and Xiaotuanzi.
May is coming to an end, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Fortunately, the Queen will be buried in early June. It is estimated that the coffin will be transported to the imperial mausoleum in the next few days.
Otherwise, it would stay in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have to save some ice this year.
I don't know if it's because I didn't sleep well, but Jiang Xinyue's right eyelid kept twitching.
The childish voice of the Fourth Prince was heard from the Hexi Palace: "Tuanzi, this story tells us that if we have done something wrong, we must be brave enough to admit it and we must not lie. Children who lie will have very high noses and mother can tell it at a glance."
Qian Sheng laughed: "Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince has fallen asleep and can't hear you telling a story."
"He can hear it." The Fourth Prince replied seriously: "Mother said that this is a bedtime story. Even if little Tuanzi has fallen asleep, the story cannot be interrupted. He is still listening. Little Tuanzi will be sad if you say this, Grandpa."
Qian Sheng coaxed him: "Okay, okay, Grandpa is wrong. Grandpa apologizes to the Sixth Prince."
"Yeah." The Fourth Prince nodded like a little adult: "Father said that it is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Little Tuanzi will not be angry with Grandpa." Little brat
, do you know what a great virtue is?
These words are not even complete!
The Sixth Prince is about to be two months old. Although he still sleeps more and wakes up less, he is awake much more now than when he was in confinement.
"Xiaoman, do you want to go to the Prince's Residence to study with your third brother?"
"Mother!"
The Fourth Prince rushed over and hugged Jiang Xinyue's calf: "Mother, mother, can I...can I go to the Prince's Residence to study? But they said that I am of low status and cannot go to the Prince's Residence like my father's other children."
"Things are different now."
Jiang Xinyue's eyebrows revealed the aura of a superior: "You must learn to forget the people and things in the past. Those who look down on you and bully you will never dare to appear in front of you again in this life. Doesn't this show that you are of noble status? Xiaoman, you must be confident. Your mother believes in you. You are better than anyone else."
The fourth prince's eyes lit up again: "I want to study in the prince's residence. My third brother said that the eldest and second sisters no longer go to the prince's residence. He is so lonely. And he is sick now and can't speak. I'm afraid that others will bully him."
He himself was bullied by eunuchs and palace maids. What if there are such people in the prince's residence!
He must protect his third brother.
The princes start to learn at the age of six. The fourth prince will be six this year. It is time to send him to the prince's residence to learn something.
However, it is not appropriate to discuss this with the emperor during the period of national mourning. Let's not talk about it for now. It will not be too late to talk about it after the coffin of the empress is transported to the imperial mausoleum . The
Hall of Supreme Harmony -
the scene of officials prostrating themselves on the ground and crying in regret is vividly depicted on paper.
A young man in a sky-blue brocade robe solemnly painted the grand funeral ceremony of the empress.
The brocade robe looked very expensive. The pure light blue soft robe had a silver pattern as the base. Large lotus patterns were faintly visible on the blue clothes, outlining a beautiful boy with blurred gender.
He has a good appearance and can be called a handsome young man. His noble temperament also gives his youth a holy aura, which makes people feel that he can only be admired from afar and not be played with.
The scene of officials kneeling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony has been painted. He is now leading two book boys to paint the scene of the ladies waiting outside under the scorching sun.
The sunlight shines on his body, and the light blue and slightly white brocade robe also reflects a dazzling light, which makes him look more and more unlike this mortal man, and he is like an immortal.
When the banished immortal boy looked over, the ladies felt that even the scorching sun in the sky was softened a little, as if they were bathed in the spring breeze.
"Young Master Xie, please take a break and drink some water!"
The eunuchs were all surprised. Others were sweating profusely, but how come the new painter in the inner court, Master Xie, was so cool and refreshing, without a drop of sweat on his face? Just looking at him made people feel as if they had drunk a large bowl of ice water, so refreshing. Xie
Chenghui smiled and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, eunuch, but I'm not tired. I have to go back to the painting academy to report later, so I'd better finish the painting quickly."
His voice was clear, like a spring hitting a stone, crisp and pleasant.
Although all the people present were married wives of officials, those who lacked self-control would also feel their faces flushed and their hearts beat fast when they looked at him.
