A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 500 Three Imperial Edicts (1)
Today's imperial palace is deathly silent, the snow is hitting the palace walls, and the sky is full of silver.The palace people changed from being bright and beautiful in the past, and they all wore plain clothes. The snow fell, and every figure was as white as snow.

In the past, when the maids and eunuchs saw Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue, they would avoid them from a long distance.

Even though the snow is as picturesque, it still cannot conceal the heavy atmosphere emanating from all over the palace.

When Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue came to the Holy Sun Hall, they saw a coffin built outside the Holy Sun Hall and a coffin inside.The high-quality mahogany was as red as blood, and there were a lot of people kneeling in front of the coffin.At the front are a few little princes, behind the little prince are more than a dozen princesses headed by the sixth princess, followed by concubines from various palaces, and then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.Everyone was wearing sackcloth and filial piety, some were weeping softly, some were kneeling quietly.These people had obviously been kneeling here for a long time, and their bodies were covered with a thick layer of snowflakes.

Yun Qianyue's eyes flicked over everyone, but she didn't see Ye Tianyi, Concubine Ming, Ye Qingran, Rong Feng, Leng Shaozhuo, or even Prince De, Prince Xiao, Prince Yun, and Cheng Qin, who were familiar with her. Seeing that, she raised her eyebrows.

Brunei originally followed behind the two, but at this time he took a quick step and passed the two into the hall.

Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue stopped and looked at the parked coffin.

Yun Qianyue looked at the coffin, no matter how good the mahogany was, it was just a coffin.The old emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan has controlled Tiansheng Jiangshan for 30 years. Since the first emperor, Tiansheng has surrendered in all directions except the East China Sea.How many affiliated small countries pay tribute every year and become ministers every year.Tiansheng prides himself on a large and prosperous country, and has been prosperous for a hundred years. He has spent his entire life in business, guarding the foundation of the country, treating it as his life, and secretly plotting to control a small country. After that, he couldn't set his feet on the ground, let alone stretch out his hands out of the capital. The place he lived in was just a coffin, the size of a place.Not even the best red sandalwood is needed.

A moment after Brunei entered the inner hall, the door of the inner hall opened, and a group of people came out hula la.

The first person was Ye Tianyi, his face was not very good, obviously he hadn't slept all night, but his belt was neat, and a piece of white cloth was tied around the waist of the snow blue brocade robe.He was followed by Prince De and the others, who obviously hadn't slept all night and were a little tired.Finally, he slowly walked out of Ye Qingran, his face was gloomy, his eyes were a little red, and he looked extremely haggard.

After several people came out, they all looked at Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue at the same time.

Ye Tianyi's eyes fell on the hands held by Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue, his eyes froze.Ye Qingran walked around a few people, strode up to them, and asked in a somewhat aggressive tone, "Where did you go yesterday?"

Rong Jing said softly: "You have visited Fushou Mountain!"

"Ghosts believe it!" Ye Qingran turned cold, "Little girl, tell me, where did you go yesterday?"

"I'm with him, you don't believe him when he said you visited Fushou Mountain, but I want to say, do you believe it?" Yun Qianyue raised her eyebrows.

Ye Qingran stared at Yun Qianyue, and after a while, he said solemnly: "Do you know what happened yesterday?"

Yun Qianyue shook her head, "I don't know!"

"Little girl, you are dishonest!" Ye Qingran stared into Yun Qianyue's eyes, "Yetianqing is dead, Uncle Huang is dead, and Ye Tianyu is in prison. Are you sure you don't know?"

"Yesterday we didn't bring anyone with us, just two of us. No one sent us a letter. I don't know what's so strange?" Yun Qianyue looked at him, "I can still smell your alcohol, you must have been drunk yesterday Are you sure you knew about these things yesterday? By the way, maybe you know that you are the little prince of Prince De's mansion, in charge of 40 soldiers and horses inside and outside the capital, and even a fly can't escape you if it wants to fly out or come in Eyes and ears, how could you not know? Since you know, please tell me about the cause and effect, so that we can have a closer look."

Ye Qingran's face turned pale, "Little girl, I'm just asking you, why are you talking so sharply to me?"

Yun Qianyue turned her head away and didn't look at him, "Ye Qingran, you've made me unhappy, and you're not allowed to tell me about you? So what if I don't know that something like this happened? It's just about the royal family and the court. Is it my turn to be a woman?"

Ye Qingran's heart felt cold, and she was speechless for a moment.

Rong Jing said indifferently: "Yesterday, the emperor granted Jing's leave, and enjoy the ceremony of being crowned well. I can't stand the body after working for a long time, and I should take a rest. We don't want to be disturbed by anyone on our big day, so avoid it." It’s a little far away, so it’s not uncommon not to know about it. Little Prince Ran, don’t you think so?”

Ye Qingran glanced at Rongjing, but said nothing.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and even the harem concubines who were sobbing in front of the coffin stopped crying.

"Yesterday it was true that the incident happened suddenly. Jing Shizi, Miss Qianyue, Guan and Jizhi left just after the ceremony. I didn't know that such a big thing happened in the capital. They are waiting for you two." Prince De hurried out to smooth things over.

"Yeah, it's good to be back! The emperor's funeral, such a big event cannot do without you!" Prince Xiao also said hastily.

Prime Minister Feng, Prince Yun and others agreed together, and the tense atmosphere eased a bit.

After a while, Prince De looked at Ye Tianyi and coughed lightly, "Seventh Prince, are you going to read the Emperor's will now?"

Ye Tianyi slowly looked away from the hands held by Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue, and fell on the cloak on her body. The fine ferret fur was white and pure, and it dragged to the ankles. Ferrets are rare and precious. Such a large piece of cloak probably used several pieces of ferrets. The workmanship is exquisite, and it can't be seen that it is pieced together. Half of the stitches can't be found. It looks like a piece of snow is draped on his body. His eyes are as black as one. The deep pool, the bottom of the pool is filled with eternal ice, which seems to be fused with the snow from the sky, freezing the cloak, and did not answer Prince De's words.

Yun Qianyue frowned, and shrank her hand in Rongjing's.

Rong Jing held Yun Qianyue's hand tightly, and said calmly: "Now the emperor is dead, the second prince is dead, the fourth prince is in prison, the other princes are young, and the prince is still in the queen's belly. For the middle matter, only the Seventh Prince can do more work. It seems that the Seventh Prince's complexion is not very good now, he must have worked hard since yesterday and has not rested, right?"

Ye Tianyi restrained the emotion in his eyes and looked at Rongjing.The eyes of the two met, one was black and bottomless, and the other was clear.

After a while, Ye Tianyi said calmly: "It does require me to work hard, but if Prince Jing can help you wholeheartedly, Tianyi may think it will be easier. Father relied on Prince Jing before he was alive, and he will need to rely on Prince Jing even more in the future!"

"Jing is a subject of the Heavenly Sage, so he will naturally do his due duty, the Seventh Prince need not worry too much." Rong Jing nodded lightly.

"Jing Shizi has this kind of heart, so it's very good." After Ye Tianyi finished speaking, he ordered Brunei, "Go and ask your mother to come later!"

Brunei immediately responded.

Yun Qianyue narrowed her eyes slightly. My aunt should have led the concubines in the harem to cry, but she was in extremely poor health because of the birth of a child. She went back and forth again yesterday. Now she is overwhelmed by the heavy snow. It is normal not to be here.The empress is the mother of a country. Now that the old emperor is dying, no matter who is the emperor among the descendants of the royal family, she is the empress dowager. She should be there to read the old emperor's will, but she always feels that Ye Tianyi called her here not only because she is about to The identity of Empress Dowager Rongsheng.In addition to this identity, she is also pregnant with the prince, and she is also the daughter of Prince Yun's mansion.

Everyone remained silent, quietly waiting for the Queen to arrive.

After about two cups of tea time, the queen came slowly, surrounded by the crowd.

Under the heavy snow, the empress was dressed in bright red attire in the palace, which was so red that it matched the mahogany coffin of the old emperor. The nurse Guan who was supporting her and the crowd behind her were all dressed in plain onyx, which made her red and bright magnificent.

The snow curtains were densely packed at this time, and the distance was far away, and the queen's face was as white as snow.

Yun Qianyue felt a pain in her heart. Although my aunt hated and hated the old emperor, she was still husband and wife. Because of him, she had been in the court for 20 years.For most of his life, the chance to step out of the palace gate is very rare, and all he sees is the sky the size of the square above his head.Now he died before her, and the child in her womb hadn't seen the sky yet.Only she can understand how she feels.

Not long after, the empress and her party came outside the Holy Sun Hall, she stopped and looked at the coffin of the old emperor in the coffin.

"Mother!" Ye Tianyi called out respectfully.

The queen withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, looked around the crowd, finally settled on Ye Tianyi, and said calmly: "Seventh prince, I am here. I see that everyone is here now. What is the last imperial edict? Read it!"

"Yes!" Ye Tianyi responded, looking at Prince De, Prince Xiao, and Prince Yun, "Three uncles, where is the edict that my father handed over to you a few days ago? Take it out and read it!"

"Yes, Seventh Prince!" The three hurriedly bowed their heads, and each took out bright yellow scrolls from their sleeves.

Yun Qianyue looked at the scrolls held by the three of them. The three scrolls were exactly the same, and they were sealed with a special glue. The material of this glue is extremely rare and difficult to make. If someone opens it, the seal of the glue will There will be cracks, but if you want to seal it again, the surface glue is dry, so it is impossible. If you get a new layer of surface glue and apply it again, then no matter how careful you are, there will be traces.Now there is no trace of these three scrolls, obviously they have never been opened since they were sealed.In this way, it seems that the old emperor tried his best to plan and keep three imperial edicts.Did Ye Tianyi participate in the sealing of the imperial decree?She glanced at Ye Tianyi and saw that his face was calm.

Prince De, Prince Xiao, and Prince Yun took out the imperial decree and looked at each other. After a while, they all respectfully presented the imperial decree to Ye Tianyi.

"Father uses the three king uncles, since the imperial decree is handed over to the three king uncles, let the three king uncles open it and read it together!" Ye Tianyi said calmly, not accepting the imperial edict.

The three of them withdrew their hands when they heard the words, each pressed the joint, and gently tugged the bound silk thread, the adhesive glue was torn apart by the tension of the thread, and after a short while, the three imperial edicts were untied.

Prince De took the imperial decree and looked at Prince Yun and Prince Xiao.The two immediately cupped their hands, "Brother De Wang please first!"

Prince De nodded slowly, opened the imperial decree, stared at the writing in the imperial decree, raised his head, and looked at Ye Tianyi in surprise, Ye Tianyi's face was expressionless, he glanced at Rongjing again, Rongjing's face was clear Indifferently, his eyes swept across the clouds and shallow moon, and for a moment, he restrained his surprise, and read out the imperial decree respectfully, "By God, the emperor said: I have been blessed by God, and I have been in charge of the heavenly sage for thirty years. I have worked hard all my life, and I dare not do it." Although I have done my best to be ashamed of my ancestors, there are still shortcomings. In the late years, I am no longer prosperous. I feel weak and weak these days. It is really a sign of the end. Therefore, I made a will to consolidate the foundation of our Heavenly Sacred Country and have successors.”

Prince De read this, paused, and continued: "I have fifteen sons, the eldest prince died early, the second prince was scheming but not wise, the third prince died late, the fourth prince had ambitions but no plans, the fifth prince , the six princes have all suffered injuries, the seventh prince has a hard spine since he was a child, he is wise and resourceful, and he is a genius made in heaven, and my heart is for the seventh prince. Tyre."
