The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1225 Hidden Murder (32)
Seeing that the empress was sad, Concubine Ning said coldly: "Actually, Concubine Jing should be content, if it wasn't for Empress Empress, she might still be just a little sixth-grade Jieyu up to now.

With the help of the empress during her lifetime, she was already quite beautiful. Now that the emperor has given her grace to make her a concubine, it is considered a great blessing to have such honor.In this way, it can be regarded as worthy of the Ji family. "

Qingchen said lightly: "Glory after death has no meaning to the dead. It's just to comfort the living."

Concubine Ning came over and looked at the buried objects in the coffin, including gold, silver, silk and satin, the jewelry box that Concubine Jing used in daily life, and even the jewelry box that the Queen rewarded. Such extravagance made Concubine Ning deeply dissatisfied.

"The empress is really generous. With so many buried objects, it is even more beautiful than when the previous empress was buried. It can be seen that the empress is not generally good to Concubine Jing."

Qingchen said coldly: "No matter how many burials, it's not worth the importance of life. At this point, the glory, wealth, gold, silver and treasures are nothing more than honor for the dead.

Concubine Jing was indifferent during her lifetime, but she devoted herself to helping Ben Gong to manage the Six Palaces, even if she had no credit, there would be hard work. Ben Gong did this, it was human nature, and it was approved by the emperor. Why does Concubine Ning have any objections? "

Concubine Ning shook her head lightly, with a cold smile on her lips, she turned around and walked to the coffin to receive the sandalwood from the maidservant, and put her hand in the incense burner, which was regarded as worship.

"The concubine dare not have an opinion. What is the emperor not allowed to say about what the empress said? What's more, it is still for the dead. In the end, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Concubine Jing is a concubine of the second rank. You are all inferior to her. You must kneel in front of the coffin to mourn. From now on, everything will follow the rules of the palace. I won't say it twice."

His eyes fell on Lin Guiyi's begonia-colored peach blossom and golden butterfly cloud brocade shirt. There was no big ups and downs on Qingchen's face, but his heart suddenly burst into flames. Looking at the other concubines, they were all quite interesting. At least the clothes were plain and the makeup was reduced. Then he ordered coldly: "Lin Guiyi will be fined for three months, and she will kneel in front of the coffin to repent from now until Concubine Jing's funeral."

Lin Guiyi's complexion changed slightly, seeing Qingchen's cold gaze, she suddenly felt a tremor in her heart, but she still said stubbornly: "Why is this, Empress, punishing concubines for no reason, there must be a reason."

"Is there a reason?" Qingchen snorted coldly, passed by Ning Bi, walked to the door and said indifferently: "If you can't figure it out, then just kneel until you figure it out."

How much contempt does it take to wear such gorgeous clothes at someone's funeral?
Seeing the queen leave, the eunuch holding the ceremony in front of the coffin yelled loudly with no expression on his face: "Please, ladies and lords, mourn and kneel~"

Regardless of whether they were unwilling or not, all the concubines had to kneel in front of the coffin.

Concubine Yi at the side saw Lin Guiyi's angry look, she couldn't help curling her lips secretly, and said with a smirk, "Even if Lin Guiyi doesn't take Concubine Jing seriously, she is someone the empress values, and you actually wear it at her funeral? To do this, not to mention how disrespectful it is to the dead person, you are clearly embarrassing the empress.

Today, the empress wears plain clothes to reduce makeup, even when the emperor comes to pay homage, she wears plain clothes, but you are good, openly opposing the empress, such a punishment for you is considered light. "

Lin Guiyi was wronged, but she was still unconvinced in her heart. A concubine who is not favored can gain a foothold only by serving the queen. How can she look up to such a person?I came here today, but I just wanted to go back to meet the occasion, but the queen actually made all the concubines kneel down here to mourn.

Kneeling on the ground and tearing the handkerchief in her hand, Lin Guiyi said angrily: "You don't have to gloat, with the queen here, you and I will never get ahead. I am the one who is punished today, and who will be punished tomorrow? They are all at the mercy of others, and we are just half a catty."

Yipin knew that she was resentful now, and she didn't bother to argue with her at this moment. If something went wrong, it would be her own unlucky one, so she said lightly:

"Being slaughtered by others depends on whether you have the ability to protect yourself. I won't be so stupid as to send you to your door to be slaughtered by others, and it's a legitimate slaughter."

Saying that, ignoring Lin Guiyi's embarrassing and annoyed eyes, she got up and went to kneel next to Concubine Ning.

Qingchen came out of the mourning hall, and went straight to the imperial study. The empress' request to see her at this time must not be a trivial matter. Fuquan didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried in to pass on a message, and he was unlikely to come out and say, "Your Majesty, the emperor has called you in."

Qingchen supported Yun Lan's hand and crossed the threshold, and saw Xiao Jun reviewing memorials under the window in Dongnuan Pavilion, she respectfully greeted her, Xiao Jun put down her pen and turned around and asked, "What's the matter? Sit down and talk."

Fuquan served tea, then bowed and retreated, Qingchen discussed with the emperor: "Concubine Jing died unexpectedly, and my concubine is very sad, the emperor gave Grace to make me a concubine, and my concubine is very grateful.

It's just that the concubine is thinking that this matter is still a royal scandal. Even if Concubine Jing is innocent, there is really no need to go to the funeral with extravagance, so what the concubine means is... If you want to calm this matter as soon as possible, it is better to go to the mausoleum earlier , I wonder what the emperor means? "

Xiao Jun stared at her deeply like Yuan, with an inexplicable emotion surging in his eyes, his brows were slightly tightened, and he just looked at him quietly, without speaking for a long time.

His silence made her a little flustered. Seeing her uneasiness, the emperor showed a meaningful smile, and nodded slightly: "The queen thinks a few days are more suitable for burial?"

Qingchen dodged his eyes and said: "The concubine means that three days are enough."

"But it takes at least seven days for a concubine to be buried. Wouldn't three days be too hasty? Even ordinary people have to do funerals for at least three days. Some decent people usually have to mourn for seven days before they can be buried. It seems inappropriate to rush."

There was always a faint smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, but those eyes were a little cold.

Qingchen looked down at the yellow-ground pastel flower tureen on the table, and said sadly: "Concubine Jing didn't like excitement during her lifetime, so she probably wouldn't like lying in the coffin and listening to the empty words of those people kneeling in front of the coffin. What's more, the sooner she is buried, the sooner the rumors inside and outside the palace will be subdued, since everyone is already dead, why should she be criticized again, and there will be no peace after death?"

The emperor smiled lightly, and said lightly, "Then do as the queen wishes."

"The concubine will thank the emperor for his sympathy on behalf of Concubine Jing." Qing Chen stood up and blessed her body grandly.

The emperor tilted his head to look at her, the smile on his lips was so elusive, he lowered his eyes slightly, and asked in a flat tone: "Aren't you afraid that others will criticize you for treating Concubine Jing too kindly if you do this?"
