wear it lord god

Not long after, more news came.

Last night, the young palace maid who served in the imperial bedchamber slipped and fell into the lotus pond and drowned.

The person who reported the incident knew something was wrong: "The lotus pond in Jinxiu Palace was only waist-deep. It was said that she wanted to test how thick the ice in the pond was. When she stood on it, the ice cracked and she fell in. She heard her cries for help but was too late to save her, so she froze to the bottom of the pond. When the king's decree to appoint her as a concubine was brought to Jinxiu Palace, she was fished out and was lying on the ground, freezing cold."

Xining let out a long sigh, as expected.

The Queen Mother was obviously referring to something: "This man belonged to Jinxiu Palace, so how he died is Jinxiu Palace's business. Not to mention drowning in a waist-deep lotus pond, even if he really died, as long as the king's decree has not arrived, as the master, I have the right to deal with it."

Zi Ling said softly, "The Queen Mother's heart is as clear as a mirror. Not to mention a waist-deep pool, even if the water was only enough to cover the face, people would still drown. The King will naturally not blame us, but it's a pity that such a good woman is gone in vain."

It was icy and snowy outside, and the water in the pond was about half a foot thick. Perhaps someone was angry that the King of Liang had fallen in love with someone else just two months after his son died, and deliberately visited someone from Jinxiu Palace.

People who do things are afraid of offending others, so they will chisel the water in the pond even if it is frozen.

The Queen Mother asked, "How old?"

The messenger replied: "I just turned eighteen after the Chinese New Year."

In ancient times, people were only one year old when they were born. Now, before the Chinese New Year, they are just sixteen years old. At the prime of their youth, they were drowned in the lotus pond.

"He is a man of few fortunes, to have met with such a thing." The Queen Mother sighed, feeling sorry for him and moved with compassion: "Go and ask if he has any family members, and give him some more money for relief."

The corners of the mouth of the person who reported the news were slightly raised, and he flattered her with a smile: "The Queen Mother is really kind-hearted. I asked and she has no family. Because she didn't want to sell herself into slavery, she was sent to the palace by her uncle and aunt. She has only been in the palace for more than a year."

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said, "Forget it. She has earned money as a servant in the palace. At least she has served in the emperor's bedchamber. Buy her a thin coffin and send her to the king's mausoleum. Let her accompany the king for a hundred years."

The messenger immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please be merciful. I must hurry. If I go too late, I might not be able to find it."

The reason why it cannot be found is that after a palace maid died, if her body was not claimed by her family, it would be rolled up on a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave.

Now he is buried in the burial pits around the royal mausoleum, which is indeed a great blessing from heaven.

Xining saw Ling Ji trembling while kneeling on the side, so he asked, "Ling Yu Nu, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Ji took a deep breath and calmed her fear: "I'm fine, maybe I'm cold."

There is a ground heating in the house, which uses dozens of kilograms of firewood and more than ten kilograms of charcoal every day, making it as warm as spring.

The Queen Mother naturally understood: "Ling Yu Nu, I am here, so don't be afraid. If you dare to come to my palace to kill people, your life will be over."

"That's right!" Xining said with a smile, "The Queen Mother is kind and virtuous, and she is the mother of the country. You can just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. When you give birth to a boy or a girl in the future, you should be filial to your grandmother."

The Queen Mother also laughed: "Didn't you say you would stay with me forever?"

Xining walked over, hooked her arm around the Queen Mother and said coquettishly, "Of course, it would be better to have another brother or sister to take care of Grandma. But Grandma must favor Moer a little more."

“You~” The Queen Mother doted on her nose and said, “You little rascal, if you keep going like this, I’m going to think you’re a reincarnated fox.”

"Mo'er is not a little fox, she's a little dog. Woof woof woof, grandma, pet her."

The Queen Mother laughed so hard that she fell backwards and laughed so happily that she even ate half a bowl of rice more.

Mo Ming couldn't help being furious with these shameless words: "You don't want to be a Lord God, but a dog. You are amazing." Ignore, block, and don't disturb me from enjoying the family happiness.

As expected, when King Liang heard that the palace maid who had just served him in bed had died before he could be canonized, he became furious and rushed to the Jinxiu Palace to demand an explanation.

As a result, Madam Jiang Shu cried and made a fuss, asking King Liang whether he still remembered Gongzi Zhong. She hugged Gongzi Zhong's tablet and wailed loudly, saying that her son's body was still warm, but her father began to favor other women and sent her to the cold palace.

It is true that one needs to observe mourning for three years when a father dies, but this is the death of a son. Even if the censor reported it to the Zhou emperor, there is no such thing as a father mourning for his son.

King Liang was furious at the crazy talk and warned that this was the last time. If it happened again, he would be blamed for being ruthless. He then ordered that Madam Jiang Shu be confined to her house for three months to mourn for Prince Chong. He also ordered that no more maids be added to the Jinxiu Palace. If one died in the future, a eunuch would be added to prevent her from falling into the pond and being unable to climb out.

After Prince Liang left, Queen Liang Jiang went to comfort and console him. After all, they were of the same surname and now that Madam Jiang Shu's only son was dead, he no longer posed a threat to the prince, so naturally they would share the same honor and disgrace.

Needless to say, after being met with such a setback, Madam Jiang Shu only mourned her own death and listened to everything. It is said that she believed that Empress Liang Jiang had killed Prince Chong, and even if she had not, she was the most suspicious.

There are many benefits to being around the Empress Dowager. You don't need to ask about them. Just listen to the reports from her people.

No matter how much Madam Jiang Shu made a fuss, she could not stop the king from having many children. Instead, the King of Liang went even further and successively supported two concubines and a beauty.

He also came to visit the Queen Mother every now and then, and every time he stayed overnight, Ling Ji naturally went to serve him. The fourth time, Ling Ji was promoted to Beauty.

At the family dinner during the Chinese New Year, the Empress Dowager, who had not appeared for many years, came.

The King of Liang used the excuse that Madam Jiang Shu was still under house arrest and signaled to Queen Liang Jiang not to let her attend. Madam Jiang Shu's seat was taken by Ling Meiren to show the importance of this baby. After all, the palace had not heard the sound of children crying or laughing for many years, and those who were pregnant did not wait until the birth.

In fact, it was also to give face to the empress dowager. This child was reserved for her. The empress dowager did not care about state affairs. She just wanted a concubine of low status to raise to pass her old age. If there was anything else she was unwilling to give.

Queen Liang Jiang knew this very well. No one could shake her and the prince's positions, so she was happy to play the role of a good wife and mother.

The entire family dinner was filled with three generations living together, singing and dancing, and a lot of joy.

Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared at the door of the hall.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Mrs. Jiang Shu.

Madam Jiang Shu was wearing a red dress, but her hair was all white. She hadn't combed her hair, and her hair, which was as long as her calves, was just hanging down. Her eyes were red as she watched the excitement in the hall.

Noticing something was wrong, the singing and dancing in the entire hall stopped and everyone looked towards her. The timid ones even screamed in fear.

Xining was surprised. He hadn't seen her for about three months. How could she have aged so quickly?

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. If Madam Jiang Shu had not doted on him before, she would not have cultivated a bear like Gongzi Zhong, which would have brought him more troubles.

What was even more unwise was that after Prince Chong died, he did not learn from his pain and restrain himself. He did not bide his time to find out the cause so that he could take revenge later. Instead, he spent the whole day in wanton grief, which made him look like this and alienated King Liang.

King Liang frowned: "Why is she here?"

"I don't know." Empress Liang Jiang hurriedly explained: "The doctor also ordered people to light incense to comfort her soul, so that she can have a good sleep."

Madam Jiang Shu walked into the hall step by step. At this time, the hall was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.

Her red eyes stared at the beautiful woman who was originally in her position. She cried out "Ah~" and pounced on her... (End of this chapter)
