Inheritance policy

Chapter 139

Chapter [-] Funeral

Life is like a play, everyone is a freshman with heavy makeup on the stage, some can only be regarded as a clown with a white face and a red dot on his forehead, exaggerated words, and behaviors that exceed the rules for others to point out make fun of.

In just a few days, the city of Dingjing experienced a catastrophe, no, to be precise, it was a catastrophe.

The governor guarding the frontier lay in a coffin and was carried into the Ding capital. The golden and jade princess fell ill and died of a sudden illness in the royal temple Dajue Temple.

died of sudden illness
Xing Zhao bowed his head like a female celebrity, and smiled softly, remembering the rumors that his mother died of a sudden illness, right?

What a wonderful four words, giving a grandiose excuse to all the unreachable and treacherous things.

The little lady's low smile was the brightest voice in the side room of Fengyi Hall at noon. Empress Fang gently twirled a long and narrow moon-white pagoda tree flower surrounded by it with one hand, and raised her head while smiling and asked her: " Can you be so happy doing needlework? After finishing the embroidery of Lao Liu’s fan cover, this is another job for myself? I don’t know if Lao Liu will pay you. Not bad, our family can also produce You are a dignified and quiet lady with excellent embroidery skills, and I asked your uncle to take you back to the northwest early in the morning, making the old Jiang's family in the northwest and Vice-General Zhang jealous."

Empress Fang came from a general family and was not good at female celebrities, so she always kept a respectful distance from Xing Zhao's embroidered frames.

Xing Zhao laughed softly, Fang Qi led Zhili, the governor of the right army, how could he go back to the northwest?If Brother Huan took over his post, he could go back.

"This is a sachet embroidered for the eldest cousin!" Xing Zhao smiled angrily, "I don't know when the eldest cousin and the eldest cousin will come back, so I will make it first, so as not to prevent the eldest cousin from spreading out a lot of congratulatory gifts when she comes. Come, but Ah Wu can't send anything!"

Empress Fang smiled and cut off the extra branches of the Sophora japonica flower with silver scissors, and said, "It's hard to buy true love. Take the sachet you made by yourself to exchange for the gold and silver that Xiaoniang gave you Head, Ah Wu, are you losing money? Those two are going to Beijing, Dudu Fang is carrying eight colored gift boxes with a sad face all day long, going to the door of Li’s house today, and Min’s house tomorrow. I know how worrying those two are! If it weren't for the recent unrest in the court, he might have become the biggest talking point in Ding capital these days."

At the end of the story, the tone fell.

After Yingyi's death, Fengyi Palace had a tacit understanding - not to mention this matter.Even though there was a lot of bustle and bustle outside, the Hall of Fengyi remained motionless.Madam He handed in the post, and Empress Fang returned the post directly. In the letter, Mrs. Hou Min brought Min Jirou over but was invited to sit in a side room. Xing Zhao sent Min Jirou an ancient painting of Zhang Chaozong, and Min Jirou The next day, they took Zhang Mifu's copybook and sent it in. The two young ladies had a great time using their own warehouse as a favor. Empress Fang didn't care about it. A rich woman only knows about prodigals!".

When Empress Fang met Mrs. Min, the Sixth Division received as many papers as snowflakes every day. Empress Fang simply asked Jiang Mingying to copy down all the names, showed it to Xing Zhao, and asked Xing Zhao from the inside. What did you see? This is the training method that Empress Fang never tires of. Xing Zhao held the Chengxintang paper and thought about it, and then handed in the answer sheet that afternoon, "Among the royal family, only Princess Pingyang and Princess Zhongning handed in the paperwork. Come on, there is no other movement, which is understandable. King Pingyang is the elder brother of Princess Yingyi, but Princess Zhongning has been relying on the Cihe Palace to live. In Kexungui, apart from the Li family and the Zhongshan Hou family, And the Hou family in the letter, more or less handed over the papers. His Excellency Li Lingqing dared to stick his neck to the emperor and say "there is no money in the treasury", so he naturally had the courage to prevent the disaster from affecting him. Involved in political affairs, the family is rich and clean, and I don't care. Others are more or less related to the Liang family, the Gu family, and Princess Yingyi. Even if people with brains don't know the inside story, they will be in constant fear all day long. Except for Mrs. Liang, who is very serious about handing in paperwork every day, the family members of the court officials still maintain a wait-and-see attitude."

The question is not difficult, but in the eyes of Empress Fang, it is rare for a seven or eight-year-old lady to have such observation and analysis skills.

Being a mother has always been contradictory. Empress Fang wholeheartedly wants to marry Xing Zhao to a stable and stable family, but she still teaches her skills and scheming slowly, and doesn't want her child to use scheming and means. But still worried that the little lady is a piece of pure white paper.

Just take a look at her younger sister and you will understand, life and the world are impermanent, who knows what kind of ulterior pit they will fall into in the end?Learning to stand up and learn to live is always the most important thing.

This time is rare, and it was the first time that Empress Fang mentioned Yingyi's death on her own initiative. Xingzhao gathered the needle and thread and put them lightly in the cage beside him, his eyebrows were lightly closed: "Count the sun, Princess Yingyi The sudden death was on August 23rd, and now it is the 26th. You should be the busiest of all—balance six divisions, small burials, and big burials." After a slight pause, the corners of his lips showed a slight smile: "It's the emperor's favor. Do you have your own funeral arrangements?"

Empress Fang held the branch of Sophora japonica flower far away, her white clothes were better than the snow, she didn't rush to answer, first she inserted the branch obliquely into the Qingyu Lake-colored dendrobium, she turned her head and looked at it from another angle, finally it was Feeling dissatisfied, he took out the Sophora japonica flower, lowered his eyebrows and trimmed it again.

The words came out softly, but the answer was irrelevant.

"In the northwest, the daughters of your family are not fond of flower arranging, embroidering needles, or copying Buddhist scriptures. We often change into Hu clothes and trouser cages, ride on father's horse, and drive away in the yellow sand desert in the northwest with a flick of the whip. .”

Xing Zhao put her hands on her knees and listened quietly. It was just at noon, and her heart was depressed after Yingyi left. Jiang Mingying didn't want to go into details about Yingyi's death. All she knew was that He Yan went to After leaving Dajue Temple, Yingyi died in front of He Yan, that's all.

But I still feel that in addition to the joy and relief after revenge, there is also a sadness that is so shallow that it can hardly be tasted.

Empress Fang calmly said: "My mother left early, and my father didn't want to remarry." Speaking of this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, showing nostalgia for the past and even rejection of the present, "It's strange to say, All the men in the Northwest are good at killing wolves and tigers in the desert, but they can speak softly in front of their mother-in-law as soon as they return home, and they don’t say too many harsh words." With a smile Shaking his head slightly: "That's far away, let's get back to the topic. Daddy doesn't want to remarry. There is only an old aunt left in the family to take care of the housework. It is not easy to marry a widow and the eldest daughter, but there is no such rule in the Northwest. Daddy But one by one, the suitors were beaten out. Until the son of the Empress Yuan of the previous dynasty died suddenly, the first emperor asked the second prince to marry the family's daughter."

This was the first time Xing Zhao heard Queen Fang's own story.

Queen Fang is a loving mother, a close friend, a strict teacher, and a person who can be completely relied on, but she has never suffered less than anyone else.

Xing Zhao held his breath, as if the time in Fengyi Hall had stood still at this moment, it had been stuck at this moment heavily, Jiang Mingying had already retreated to the outside room with the palace servants, Xing Zhao bowed and sat on the kang, Empress Fang Looking up, silently among the flowers of the pagoda tree, like the fragrance of peaches and plums, I can't sleep anymore.

"The royal family came to ask for a marriage. Daddy finally stopped kicking people out of the house. Then they checked the horoscope, prepared for marriage, and then got married. On the day of the wedding, there was a vast and mighty scene in Pingxiguan. The eyes were full of red and festive, and the suona and drums were played. The disturbance seemed to deafen people's ears. This was my first time in Beijing, and I was married to the prince, but at that time, the late emperor clearly treated the second prince as the crown prince. It is a requirement for others to see the prince and concubine, but Looking at the princess is another requirement. I can't wear a Hu suit, I can't wear trousers, I can't walk, I can't run, I can't jump, my life seems to be trapped under a boxy sky."

Empress Fang raised her head and gestured, looked at Xing Zhao with a smile, and enlarged her gesture with warm eyes: "When you become a queen and enter the palace, the square sky that was originally so big will change. It has become so big, but the rules have become even stricter. The original Empress Gu who served the king with beauty and sensuality suddenly became the Empress Dowager Gu in the Palace of Mercy who had to meet every day. Are you afraid in your heart? Naturally, I am afraid, but I can't be afraid, because my Ah Fu also married into Dingjing, married into the well-mannered He family of the Marquis of Lin'an that everyone praises, and married into the Jasper and Pearl. My mother left early, and I also married early. Afu was only five years old when I got married. He pulled my sleeves and cried "Sister, Sister". Fortunately, Ah Fu has a gentle personality, otherwise she would be a domineering little lady. Ah Fu is married, and I have to protect her. No amount of fear can only become more courage."

Xing Zhao raised his head lightly, and Empress Fang's long and flat speech almost brought tears to her eyes.

Who in this world doesn't have a hard time?
Ying Yi is living a difficult life, her mother is from a humble background, so she has little knowledge, and the men she meets are all hypocrites and real villains, but she is repressed and paranoid as a golden branch and jade leaf.

Because she has a difficult life, because she has pain and sorrow, because she needs it, can she disregard human ethics and do whatever she wants?

No matter how difficult it is to live, we must stick to it and stick to a belief and bottom line.

The glory of the afternoon poured down like clear water, Empress Fang changed the subject and returned to the main topic: "It was at that time that I really got along with my sister-in-law who is a direct relative."

That's right, the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne and has not lived in the palace, so Empress Fang can only watch the Gu family and Yingyi from a distance.

"You are very good-looking and have a strong personality. You must get what you want. She wanted the black lacquered Arhat ivory bed in the East Palace. Queen Mother Gu asked the emperor to ask for it. The emperor was soft-hearted and gave it with a wave of his hand. Ying Yi got it but disliked it, "Sister-in-law grew up in the northwest, and she didn't have half a family education. Such a good bed can be used, and even the ivory is not so white and smooth." The emperor said to me as a joke, I But I couldn’t laugh, so I opened the storeroom the next day and chose a brand new black lacquered ivory screen to send to her.”

"I told my father-in-law that the cup of tea that Yingyi drank before his death happened to be mixed with the decoction I left behind, and it was also in the teapot. Interestingly, Yingyi poured two cups of tea, but only one was taken by her. I drank it myself, and the other glass was left alone on the table."

　Speed ​​of life and death!I'm afraid of breaking the update!
