Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 191

"Grandmother..." Xie Shuangge's tears kept rolling in her eyes. She held the Queen Mother's outstretched hand and asked with sobs, "Didn't you be fine before? Why did you suddenly faint?"

"What did the imperial doctor say?"

The Empress Dowager held her hand, turned her face to look at her lovingly, "It's nothing serious, people are getting old, it's common to have ailments, the imperial doctor said that it was dry in autumn, got angry, and Aijia had Headache problems, piled up together, and fainted, the imperial doctor just gave the needle, and now it’s much better, don’t worry.”

Xie Shuangge couldn't be relieved, the number of illnesses of the Empress Dowager had increased significantly in the past six months, she would be fooled in the past, but not now, she had a faint premonition, so seeing that the Empress Dowager was still comforting her, she felt more and more uncomfortable.

But she couldn't show it at this time, so as not to worry the Queen Mother and herself.

She pursed her lips, trying to make herself look more relaxed, "Well, it's good that I'm fine, but Jianing was frightened, and she ran back in the middle of the walk, her legs were sore from running."

The queen mother laughed when she heard the words: "Really? When you go back and ask someone to carry the sedan chair, how can you be so tired of mourning Jia Ning?"

Xie Shuangge smiled and lay beside her, "Grandmother is fine, so I won't be tired anywhere."

The queen mother stroked her hair with her hand.

"Mother, are you awake?" The sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside the hall, Xie Shuangge turned his head to look over, the emperor and empress, Concubine Mei, Concubine Xian, and Wu Meiren all came.

"Jianing is here too." The emperor paused and slowed down a bit.

Xie Shuangge sniffed and saluted: "Jianing has met uncle."

"Excuse me, excuse me." The emperor walked to the bedside and sat down, and asked with concern: "Is the queen mother feeling better?"

"It's much better, don't worry." The Empress Dowager looked up and saw that everyone was here, her face was slightly serious, and she returned to the dignified and indifferent Empress Dowager in front of outsiders.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that your mother is fine. As soon as you heard that something happened to your mother, your majesty rushed over after halfway through approval, and almost tripped on the way." Concubine Mei glanced at the emperor.

The emperor rubbed the jade pendant around his waist uncomfortably, "Don't talk about it."

Concubine Mei laughed, "It's the concubine who is talking too much."

The queen mother glanced at her, did not speak, then looked at the queen and the witch beauty beside her, the concubine Xian stood a little far away, she never moved forward, and the queen mother didn't care.

The queen met her gaze, worried and naturally expressed it, as if she didn't notice the "flirting" between the emperor and Concubine Mei at all.

The Empress Dowager sighed helplessly, she was really disappointing, this child was very filial to her, but he was really clueless about the relationship between men and women, he obviously liked the emperor, but he didn't know how to please him, and was overwhelmed by Concubine Mei everywhere.

Even if it is like this in front of my own face, I don't know how many dumb losses I will suffer behind my back.

She waved to the queen: "Queen, help Ai get up."

Xie Shuangge saw clearly from the side, rolled his eyes, understood what the Queen Mother meant, and backed away without a trace.

When the emperor saw the queen approaching, he subconsciously got up and wanted to get out of the way. The queen mother grabbed the queen's hand and told the queen to sit down beside the bed, next to the emperor.

The emperor paused for a moment and did not move again.

Concubine Mei: "..."

She clenched the veil tightly in her hand, with a smile still on her face.

"There's nothing wrong with Ai's family, don't you all run over whenever there's a little trouble, and make a fuss."

The queen mother took the queen's hand, then looked at Xie Shuangge, "Jianing can come alone."

The queen looked at Xie Shuangge, and smiled gently, "Jia Ning is the heart of the queen mother, we can't compare."

"Who said that?" The queen mother smiled and glared at her: "You let the prince get married earlier, and Ai's family is still waiting to have a great-grandson."

As soon as this remark came out, Concubine Mei immediately looked at the emperor, the emperor was silent for a while, and said: "The prince has indeed reached the age to start a family, and the second child is about the same age as the prince, so we have to get ready."

Speaking of this, he paused, "By the way, there is also Jianing."

Xie Shuangge: "..."

Sure enough, the fire still burned on himself.

Everyone looked at her, Concubine Mei smiled, "It's really time for Princess Jianing to find a good consort, we can't delay any longer."

Concubine Xian nodded: "Good son-in-law, isn't there one in front of you?"

Xie Shuangge's face turned reddish, "Why are you talking about me again? Didn't you come to see the emperor's grandmother?"

She glanced at the Empress Dowager, pretending to be shy and said, "There are a lot of people here with the Imperial Grandmother, Jianing will leave first, and I will come to see you later."

She bowed to the emperor and queen, turned around and "fleeed away".

The emperor laughed: "I'm ashamed."

Everyone laughed, only the Empress Dowager didn't show much fluctuation.

……

Xie Shuangge did not leave the palace immediately after leaving the queen mother's bedroom, but walked aimlessly along the palace road with Qingtao to the imperial garden.

At this time, the sky was getting late, the surrounding fields were at dusk, and the imperial garden was deserted, Qingtao couldn't help but persuade: "Princess, let's go back home?"

Xie Shuangge shook his head: "You wait for me here, I want to walk alone."

"...Yes." Seeing that Xie Shuangge was not in high spirits, Qingtao didn't try to persuade her, and watched her walk away.

Xie Shuangge walked along the cobblestone path, feeling in a mess.

The imperial grandmother seems to be nothing now, but she knows in her heart that if she is not really unable to hold on, the imperial grandmother will not urge her to get married.

Before she told the emperor's grandmother that she wanted to marry Shen Hanyu, she advised herself to think twice before acting, and not rushing to get married, so she can read more about it.

But a few days ago, she started to persuade herself to get married, and she fainted again today, which is not a good sign no matter what.

According to Dayan's rules, when the queen mother collapses, the emperor only needs to observe filial piety for 27 days because he wants to govern, and the concubines in the harem, no matter how high or low, are all for one year. During this year, they are not allowed to wear red or green. Having an heir can avoid filial piety.

The following princes, princes and princesses are all required to observe filial piety for 27 months, which can be reduced as appropriate in special circumstances.

If Xie Shuangge hadn't married before the queen mother died, she would have to stay in mourning for 27 months. At that time, she would be 20 years old. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if there is a problem with the prince's power struggle, she can finally It is still unknown who she will marry, and it is also difficult to say whether she will be able to get shelter.

Therefore, the best and safest way is to get married before the queen mother dies, and everything will be settled, and the queen mother will definitely make her a good fortune if she is alive, and arrange everything for her future.

This is the queen mother's idea, Xie Shuangge now fully understands.She looked at the withering flowers in the garden, her heart sank.

Suddenly the tip of her nose felt cold, Xie Shuangge touched it suspiciously, and found a little water. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, and when she looked up, a drop of rain fell into her eyes.

The white figure came from the flowers and willows, and Xie Shuangge suddenly saw an oiled paper umbrella painted with plum blossoms.

- off topic -

There is a rule of 27 months in ancient Confucianism, because it takes 27 months for mothers to breastfeed their children, so this rule is used here, and some changes have been made. Just take a look, don't take it seriously, but 27 months is so something happened.
