female concubine

Not long after the book, the emperor issued an edict to pursue the late Shanyin founder as Rong Guogong, the late Wei Guogong, and Shangzhu Kingdom as Wei King, and after the war with Xixia to recover the lost land, he named Wu'anhou as Xing Guogong, Zhang Huai Military achievements advanced to the Shanghu Army, Xiao Xianfu, the pacifier of Jinglue, was named the founding county of Xingyang, Xiao Yunze, the transshipment envoy to the west of Beijing, was named the founding prince of Nanyang, and the family uncle was named the founding uncle of Dongping. People, so that the already declining Xiao family became the most expensive relatives again.

The political affairs hall suppressed the scholars and bureaucrats, and no one dared to make a noise in front of the late emperor, so they broke into the inner palace while the emperor was resting.

"Sirs, please go back, Your Majesty is too sad to see foreign ministers."

"Official, Your Majesty!"

The servant lowered his face, "Come here, send some gentlemen back to rest."

Several guards in front of the temple stepped forward together, but several officials still refused to let go, "The late emperor's new funeral, the official's family rewarded his relatives as soon as he ascended the throne, which is really against the etiquette system set by Emperor Zugao. I beg your Majesty to summon you!"

After the imperial army took him away, the servant shook his head helplessly, "The official family is not here."

----------

After the clothing is completed, the whole country enters the national mourning period. During this period, all weddings, banquets, wine and entertainment are prohibited. The bustling city in the past has also become quiet. People who are scheduled to be hired or greeted in person in April have also changed their auspicious dates.

In April, Begonia bloomed at its peak, white paper lanterns were hung in front of every house in Tokyo, and some dandies who often competed in Cuju on the street were reprimanded by their elders and locked up at home. , for fear of being arrested for violating a taboo.

"During the national mourning period, why is Third Sister not sad at all?" The girl walked to the courtyard and sat down on a top chair. open.

"I'm not a courtier of the first emperor, I'm just a commoner. Anyone who is an official is the same to me."

"Who told the third sister that the official family, the third sister's marriage was canceled due to the national funeral, let alone this month's personal welcome, their family actually canceled the engagement letter directly, is this considered remorse?"

"If you don't marry, then don't marry. I don't care to be the bride of the founding earl's mansion."

"There is nothing unusual in the Marquis's Mansion, but his surname is Xiao, and he is somewhat related to Her Highness the Empress. His family's title is also due to Her Majesty the Empress."

The woman just shook her head and put the flowers into the gall vase, "Life is so precious that you are a prince, and you can't be free if you are famous." She sang with a smile: "It's like a fight, a flat boat, let the moon and the wind go back and rest." Then she turned her head. Looking at the north end of the house, "The officials in Xu Nai want to get out every day, but once the city gate is closed, how can they get out?"

The girl sighed helplessly: "The third sister is buried in the pile of books every day because she wants to be a scholar? But women are not allowed to be officials."

The woman moved the vase aside with a smile, poured water and ink, spread the paper and said with a pen: "Do you know that Mrs. An, the wife of Mr. Xing Guogong, is known as a girl?"

"Female students..." The girl thought for a while, "Isn't that His Royal Highness the Queen?"

The woman shook her head, "At first it was Mrs. An Guo, and even Taizong praised her articles as being like his father's and even surpassing them."

"Oh, how many years have passed? The third sister was not born when Taizong was here. How did these three sisters know?" The girl got up and moved to her sister's side. Because of curiosity, he agreed to this marriage that he didn't want to, so now he is not angry because the national funeral failed."

"What else can Si Niang say?" The woman dipped a little ink and wrote a palm-sized handwriting with her face, "Although I am curious, I admire it more. It's a pity that Mrs. An Guo passed away without me. It is a great pity in life that I never saw her true face with my own eyes."

"That day when Shangyuan went to watch sumo wrestling in Wazi, didn't the old man sitting opposite say that Her Highness the Empress looks very much like Mrs. An Guo?"

"How can the words of the market be taken seriously?"

"Daddy is Tai Changqing, just go and ask daddy. The new official will be enthroned next year. The rice planting ceremony in the Guanjia Palace and the silkworm kissing ceremony in the Silkworm Palace will definitely be held, and if the sage celebrates his birthday, his mother will also have to be a surrogate at that time." Go to the palace."

"Third Miss and Fourth Miss, the Patriarch is back."

A carriage drove into Xixianning Square in the old city and stopped slowly in front of the He Zhai gate. The attendants removed the ladder behind the carriage.

The person who got out of the car was completely naked, and entered the house with hurried steps.

The envoy brought tea to cool off the heat, and the woman stood beside the man with a round fan, a cloth shirt, a waistband, and a cloth hakama, and fanned him, "The ceremony is over? Why did the officials come back?" gone?"

"I just became obedient the day before yesterday. I almost lost my manners in front of the funeral, and the officials scolded me back. In fact, the officials saw that I hadn't closed my eyes for a few days, and there was a young minister who deliberately took this opportunity to let me go home and rest. Tomorrow I have to rush back early in the morning, and I won’t be back until the festival.”

"Daddy." The two young women walked out of the blessing at the same time.

The younger girl took three steps and two steps and ran to her father's knee coquettishly, "Daddy came back so late this time, Si Niang hasn't seen Daddy for quite a while."

Tai Changqing patted her daughter's head lightly, "Father will definitely accompany you after the national funeral."

"At the beginning of the month when the official family ascended the throne, did daddy see Her Royal Highness the Queen?"

"When the official ascended the throne, he was with Her Majesty the Queen."

"Is your highness good-looking?"

Tai Changqing smiled lovingly: "The official wife is the mother of a country, how can she be described by her appearance?"

"But even if she is the mother of the country, she is just an ordinary woman after picking up the phoenix crown. How is she different from us? Besides, people always have beauty and ugliness, right?"

Tai Changqing leaned over and asked, "Si Niang wants to know?"

The fourth girl nodded vigorously.

"In the future, let your mother take you to see the banquet hosted by a saint in the forbidden area."

She got up from her father's knee, and said with disgust: "What, after all, Dad still refuses to talk about it."

The woman who had been silent for a while said, "Daddy can't find a word to describe His Highness. After all, she is a strange woman who made the officials break two cases in a row and is not afraid of the civil and military accusations of the Manchu Dynasty. She insists on rewarding her parents' two clans."

"Weifu and Marquis Wu An are classmates, and I have met Mrs. An Guo a few times." Tai Changqing touched his beard, "The saint and his wife are like carved out of the same mold."

Tai Changqing smiled at her daughter again: "Why, my third wife also wants to learn from Mrs. Anguo?"

"My daughter just admires Mrs. An Guo."

"The Xiao family's divorce was proposed for the father, and it was also discussed with the founding uncle. The Xiao family's favor cannot be guaranteed, and things will be reversed. If he marries with my He family again, it will be difficult for the officials to fear."

"Didn't dad say that when the official family was still the prince, he was very close to the people, and he was a kind king?"

Tai Changqing shook his head, "The king's kindness is not angry but prestige, and the thoughts of the officials are deeper than those of the late emperor."

"Hey, Dad and the third sister have become so rigid when they talk. Does Dad want to take a bath this time?" The girl sniffed the cuffs of the bib, "Slightly~ My daughter can go and prepare clothes for Dad."

Reluctantly, He pulled his younger sister away towards her parents, "Si Niang, it's a national mourning now. Dad is an important member of the court and even a subject of the late emperor. You can't take a bath during the mourning period. You can let Dad rest well."

"Oh."

-------------------------------

After the burial, a hidden palace was set up to temporarily house the late emperor's coffin, and several servants stood on the steps of the palace in mourning clothes.

The rain dripped down the eaves.

"I don't understand, the first emperor treated the officials like this..." The servant turned his head and looked at the inner hall of the hidden palace a few doors away, "It is better to have a father than to have no father."

Qi Liu replied: "There are still many things you don't understand. The first emperor was ruthless but the official family is not the first emperor. He doesn't know what the official family wants, and he is not a competent father. Poor official family..."

"saint."

"saint."

The two servants hurriedly shut up and stepped forward to bow.

"Are the officials still kneeling inside?"

Qi Liu nodded, "It's been two days."

In the mourning hall, the emperor Fu Zhan Shuai knelt and knelt in front of the mourning hall in a daze.

The queen also walked in, with rain still remaining on her footprints, and immediately walked to the side of the emaciated man, knelt down slowly, and persuaded: "The official should get up and eat something."

She just lowered her head, said one word with blank eyes, "Cold."

The ever-burning lamp was lit in the mourning hall, Zigong was behind the spirit tablet, there was boundless drizzle outside the hall, and the dark clouds made the light inside very dim, Xiao Youqing took her into his arms.

Holding her hand, Wei Huan fell into his arms and slowly curled up into a ball, "Build the mausoleum before I die, I don't want to stay alone in the coffin and be watched by you for so long."

Her words made Xiao Youqing tremble, "The official family has just ascended the throne, why are they talking such unlucky nonsense?"

"If a person is going to die, how can he live because of his unlucky words?"

"But the concubine is not happy to hear such things from the officials," Xiao Youqing held her head, lowered her head and added softly: "Youqing will feel distressed when she hears what Ah Qian said."

Wei Huan curled up and rubbed against her arms, the raw linen cloth was a bit harsh, but the mourning clothes did not cover up the smell on her body.

Wei Huan held Xiao Youqing's hand tightly, "Death is not terrible, what is afraid is that you will stay in the world, and the person who cares about you will be sad. If possible, Wei Qian really doesn't want to leave first." Wei Huan opened his wet and red eyes, and stretched out his trembling hands, "But... I can't."

Xiao Youqing held her hand, "Wei Qian's Xiao Youqing is not as fragile as you think, and the queen of Song Dynasty will not only rely on the emperor to go on."

Wei Huan closed his eyes, "I know the meaning of Bi'an flower. Before I went to Qishan, a gentleman told me that the Bi'an flower blooms on the other side, and the bank of Wangchuan is also Wangchuan. However, the bridgehead is empty, and Sansheng stone writes Sansheng."

Xiao Youqing frowned tightly, "I hope this day will never come."

I don't know how long it took, the person who hadn't closed his eyes for several nights was probably tired, and gradually fell asleep with his pillow on her lap.

Xiao Youqing raised her head and looked at the spirit card of the Emperor Daxing, "This is the parent and child you never want to look at directly, you made her bear so much that she shouldn't have," she lowered her head again in a daze, "But it's also because of this that I Only then did I meet her, and while I was being unfair to you, I was also thankful for myself, is it your fault or my selfishness?"

Xiao Youqing stopped touching her hand and hugged her head by the waist, "But it doesn't matter anymore."

When Xiao Youqing walked out of the hall with Wei Huan in his arms, several servants rubbed their eyes.

"I'm not mistaken, is this the saint holding the official's house?"

"You may still be learning to walk when Your Royal Highness learns how to ride horses and archery." The female envoy followed her with an umbrella after she was proud of her daughter.

"As expected of the general's daughter."

Throughout the whole journey, the palace servants held her umbrellas and followed closely behind. Xiao Youqing hugged her and walked in the conspicuous aisle. See.

The wind spread to Deoksugung Palace, and the Empress Dowager was wearing mourning clothes, sitting cross-legged on the couch and copying scriptures.

"Your Highness, Li's maid is back."

"The villain kowtowed to His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager."

"Has Zhonggong listened to the old man's advice to persuade the officials?"

The waiter nodded.

"How is the official?"

"The sage took the official family back to the Kunning Palace. The official family is now resting in the Kunning Palace. No one persuaded the official family to leave before. No, the official family came out within half an hour after the saint entered. "

Empress Dowager Li put down the pen, and seemed to gradually understand something, "This child has suffered a lot, and it is not easy to have someone to support him to this point."

"It is said in the palace that the emperor and the empress are in harmony. In the future, the world will be peaceful and prosperous."

"Haiyan Qinghe..." Empress Dowager Li sighed, "The late emperor is on his way. Since the official family has gone to Kunnyeong Palace, they will send someone to invite the queen to live in Deoksugung Palace temporarily."

"Yes."

-------------------------

Xiao Youqing hugged her and put her on the bed, because there was only a thin mat on the bed during the funeral, and she couldn't let her go, so she thought of going out and sending someone to fetch a basin of warm water to wipe her sweat.

The half-dream and half-awake person took her hand, "Sister, don't go."

Xiao Youqing who was looking back was moved by the slack and childlike appearance on the couch, so he sat down slowly while holding her hand, gently stroking her hair and said: "Okay, don't go."

Wei Huan rubbed into her arms, Xiao Youqing smiled softly and said: "Why are the officials still like children, aren't they hot?"

The person in the arms just shook his head, "The concubine has been there on behalf of the official family, and there are also ministers from the Nine Temples and the Ministry of Rites for the ceremony in the past few days. The official family should rest well."

"The official family is starving if they don't eat for a few days. The concubines go to bring in some food. There is no need to think about anything. Here, the official family is just a young Qing Qian..."

Before the words fell into his arms, the person suddenly turned up, reached out and hugged her waist tightly, bit his upper lip together, and then pried open his lips and teeth.

Xiao Youqing's empty hand trembled suddenly, and then he wrapped his arms around her neck. The dark clouds outside the hall gradually dispersed, and bright light climbed onto the window. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The frozen air was filled with lingering, and the other party's breath was all around her. Reason made her restrain herself. Xiao Youqing held Wei Huan's hand, left from the deep kiss, and panted, "The late emperor is doing great things, and the official family is still in the state funeral." During the filial piety."

The person who calmed down fell into Xiao Youqing's arms along the neck and shoulders, hugged her waist tightly, and could still hear her heartbeat.

"Your Majesty knows that the officials don't want to live in the Funing Palace. From now on, the concubine will move to Deoksugung Palace and come back after the national funeral." Xiao Youqing added while holding her hand: "But the concubine will live there every day. They will come over to accompany the official family to eat, and the official family must be obedient and have a good rest."

The author has something to say: Zigong: Refers to the coffin of the emperor, empress or important officials.

Xiao Liu used Xiao's family because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed and leave a way for his daughter-in-law.

In the previous chapter, I have already said in my speech that the entire chapter is about the etiquette of the enthronement ceremony. She seized power to survive, but the ultimate goal is to ascend the throne. Ascension to the throne is a victory in seizing power. At least she will not have to be framed in the future, etc., That's why I didn't rush it, although it has nothing to do with the plot, maybe I should add this sentence.

(I write novels differently from others. I am only interested in history and the relationship between my two sisters, so the historical aspect will be very strong. The same is true for my previous books, except for the first book, but when I wrote that book, I Only sixteen or seventeen years old.) I don’t guard against theft because I know that some readers have the habit of skipping chapters.

The first volume is more intense, and the lower volume is relatively more peaceful.
