The Concubine's Biography of the Concubine Seizing the Palace

When the queen mother arrived, she saw Princess Hejing crying and holding the dead queen, and she couldn't help crying. 【 】

"Emperor!" The queen mother saw that the emperor had been sitting quietly beside the queen, with no emotion on her face, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart.

The emperor got up and left the empress's phoenix boat, and arranged for Prince Zhuang Yunlu and Prince Hongzhou to escort the empress dowager and everyone in the harem back to Beijing in an orderly manner.

After everything was arranged properly, it was broad daylight, and when the emperor was sitting next to Queen Lan Wei, he felt a heart-piercing pain that he had never experienced before. .

At noon on March [-], the Zi Palace of Empress Daxing started to suffer a drought from the waterway, and it was temporarily enshrined in Tongzhou Ludian.Below the King of Jing, above the third-rank officials, and all the princes gathered to mourn and salute.Then the spirit car set off from Tongzhou Ludian, accompanied by the princes and the queen's in-laws, crying bitterly.

In the evening, Lingjia arrived in Beijing. Concubines, princesses, officials below the fourth rank, wives of ministers and officials, as well as women under the leadership of the House of Internal Affairs and the leadership of the internal management, were divided into groups at Chaoyangmen, Donghuamen and Chuxiu Palace. Kneel to welcome.

Empress Zigong of Daxing entered Donghua Gate, went west from Ningshou Palace, entered Cangzhen Gate, and arrived at Changchun Palace, where she was enshrined in the main hall.

At this time, the emperor who returned to the palace first was dressed in white silk filial clothing, and watched the princes drinking wine before the death.

The emperor had lost his prince and empress within a few months, and was extremely sad. Recently, his temper has been very violent. Many people who served him have suffered. Now everyone is in danger and dare not touch bad luck.

For the queen's death, the eldest elder brother Yonghuang didn't feel any sadness in his heart. The queen has been very ordinary these years, and the queen is only a aunt and not a biological mother. To him, it is dispensable.

What's more, for Yonghuang, the empress's death means that there will never be a prince born in the palace again. It's all his fault, thinking of this, Yong Huang couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

The same is true for the third elder brother Yongzhang. The empress passed away, and concubine Xian was also restrained by the empress dowager.

"What are you laughing at?" The emperor turned his head and saw the two people were smiling, he was furious and snapped sharply.

Yonghuang and Yongzhang were shocked and immediately knelt down.

"The queen passed away, and you are so happy during the funeral." The emperor felt dizzy when he said this, and then shouted violently: "Get out of here!"

Both Yonghuang and Yongzhang looked at the emperor in disbelief, and then backed away in horror.

Facing the emperor's monstrous anger, everyone was terrified, and immediately knelt down more politely.

It was late at night, after kneeling for a long time, Wei Ning'er, who was sore all over, returned to Yanxi Palace with the support of Bing Ruo and others.

"Little master, this servant will squeeze your legs for you!" Bing Ruo knelt down and said.

Wei Ning'er shook her head lightly, telling her to back off.

Wei Ning'er leaned on the back of the chair, tears dripping down. Even today, she still cannot accept the fact that the queen has passed away, let alone...the queen is still her sister.

Wei Ning'er never dreamed that she was Li Rongbao's daughter, the Queen and Fu Heng's sister.

Recalling the kindness that the empress had treated her in the palace in the past few years, Wei Ning'er only felt pain in her heart.

Due to the death of the queen, the palace was shrouded in deep sorrow. On March 22, the emperor issued a decree to posthumously posthumous Empress Daxing as Empress Xiaoxian.

On April [-]th, the Empress Dowager personally selected two of the newly promoted beautiful women to fill the harem. The daughter of Naqin, who is also the governor of Qingche, was the nobleman, and the Lin family, the daughter of Tang Afobao, was Lin Chang. exist.

The draft is a major event, and it was decided last year. Now, it has been a month since the empress passed away, and the emperor is still in grief.

"Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine Xian sent Mu Yun over, saying that she wanted to see Empress for something!" Lu Mo said respectfully as she entered the hall.

The queen mother frowned when she heard the words: "Let Mu Yun tell her that she will be in Yikun Palace in peace and mourn for the Ai family."

"Your Majesty, it's been a month now, your Majesty, you should calm down. Concubine Xian didn't expect those Han women to smoke their clothes with strange fragrances to lure the emperor.!" Lu Mo said softly.

"The Ai family is calmed down, but the emperor has not calmed down. Although the imperial doctor said that the queen was terminally ill at that time, even if she did not fall into the water in a hurry, she would not be able to recover, but...at least she will not die on the east tour, so she will take care of her. If she hadn't acted recklessly and acted recklessly, how could she have made such a mistake!" The queen mother said angrily.

"Yes!" A trace of helplessness flashed in Lu Mo's eyes, and she replied softly.

"You go and tell her that the emperor's anger is still lingering now, and Ai's family confines her to Yikun Palace to protect her, so let her wait with peace of mind." The Queen Mother ordered after pondering for a moment.

"Yes, empress!" Lu Mo responded and retreated.

On May 21st, after the posthumous posthumous ceremony of Empress Xiaoxian, the emperor who was drowning in grief finally recovered a bit, and went to the Concubine Jia's Palace that night to visit her who was pregnant. It was the first time to see the harem concubines after touring the palace.

After having dinner with Concubine Jia, and having a conversation with her, the emperor returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Early the next morning, Concubine Jia sent someone to invite Wei Ning'er and Concubine Chun to her Yongshou Palace.

It has been more than two months since the empress passed away, and Wei Ning'er has gradually suppressed the sadness in her heart, and her face has returned to its usual rosy face.

"I don't know why my elder sister called my younger sister here?" Wei Ning'er asked softly after greeting Concubine Jia and Concubine Chun.

Concubine Jia took a deep breath and said, "The empress has gone...the harem has no owner for a while, according to the practice in the palace, even if the emperor no longer has a queen, he still has to choose a high-ranking concubine to be in charge of the phoenix seal and manage the harem!"

Concubine Chun also said solemnly: "The third elder brother of my palace offended the emperor a few days ago, and he and the eldest elder brother will have no chance of inheriting the throne in the future. Bengong will take care of it, now that Concubine Jia is pregnant and has no time to take care of it, I heard that the Empress Dowager is already thinking about this matter, so I don't know who she will choose?"

Wei Ning'er pondered for a moment and said: "Concubine Xian was grounded. Although the emperor didn't order her to be punished, he was very resentful towards her because of what happened that day. She... has no chance. The most suitable one now is Concubine Jia, but ... My sister is pregnant, and I don't know how the emperor will make the final decision!"

"Where's Concubine Yu?" The figure of Concubine Yu suddenly appeared in Concubine Jia's mind.

"It is possible. Although she is not very favored, the emperor did not completely ignore her. Even though she was reprimanded by the emperor for contradicting the empress, even the fifth elder brother gave it to Concubine Xian, but... and Ben Gong Compared with Concubine Xian's mistake...that is not a big mistake, after all, after so long, the emperor will not always remember it." Concubine Chun said after thinking for a moment.

"Concubine Yu is good, at least she is not a cruel person, not to mention we have never had any disagreements with her, since she is the only one who can take care of the harem temporarily, why don't the two elder sisters contribute to the flames with the younger sister, so that Concubine Yu can inherit the harem first?" If you are in love, there should be a retreat in the future, and you can make plans after Sister Jiafei gives birth to a child!" Wei Ning'er suggested.

Among the people in the palace, the only ones she can trust now are Concubine Jia and Lu Yunxi. Concubine Chun only got together because she lost power and because she was hostile to Concubine Xian just like them, but Wei Ning'er never dared to trust her.

As for Concubine Yu, because Yong Qi was always in the hands of Concubine Xian, Concubine Yu was controlled by others, and sometimes she couldn't help herself, Wei Ning'er was also on guard against her.

Concubine Jia's eyes lit up, she smiled and said: "Okay, the palace is too hot now, the emperor said last night that we will go to Yuanmingyuan tomorrow, let's find a chance to help Concubine Yu!"

On May 23, everyone went to the Old Summer Palace together. In the evening of that day, the emperor ordered everyone in the harem to accompany the queen mother to dinner, and the emperor naturally accompanied her.

The queen mother was very happy to see that the emperor seemed to have come out of the shadow of the queen's death. For a moment, she thought of Concubine Xian who was still in the palace and had never been to the Old Summer Palace.

"Your Majesty, Ai's family went to Yikun Palace to see Noble Concubine Xian yesterday before coming to Yuanmingyuan. She blamed herself and repented in front of the Lord Buddha every day. Your Majesty, what happened that day was not her fault. It's her fault for believing wrongly." Others, what's more, she cares about the emperor and worries about the emperor, so she only wants to solve the emperor's worries and problems, it's not her fault, now that the Ai family has punished her, the emperor will forgive her!"

The emperor's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, if the Queen Mother hadn't issued an order to punish Concubine Xian that day, and the Queen passed away, the Emperor had no time to take care of it, otherwise Concubine Xian's punishment would not have been so simple.

The emperor hated her in his heart, if she hadn't made up her own mind, how could those women have taken advantage of the situation, the empress would not be angry, nor would she fall into the water, and die that night.

The emperor was well aware of the queen's illness, and it became more and more serious in the past few days. He also privately questioned Li Taiyi, and learned that the queen would not be able to survive, but... the emperor always had hope in his heart. , the queen will not go like that.

"I don't need to say more, Empress, I have made my own decision!" The emperor said with a hint of coldness.

The queen mother was slightly taken aback, and did not persuade her anymore.

Concubine Jia at the side saw that the time was ripe, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine heard from the fourth elder brother that the fifth elder brother hadn't gone to the study for several days, and only after asking about it did he find out that the child is sick. Pity the child, and there is no one to take care of it." .”

Hearing this, the emperor's face became even more ugly, and then seeing Concubine Yu lowered her head, trembling slightly, the emperor clearly saw tears falling on her lapel.

"From now on, Yong Qi should be raised by Concubine Yu. After all, you are the mother-in-law, and you are the only one who loves Yong Qi the most!" the emperor said.

Concubine Yu was shocked when she heard the words, raised her tear-stained face to look at the emperor, her eyes were full of shock, as if she couldn't believe it, she was stunned before she knelt down, crying: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!" !"
