The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 799 Eight Hundred

[Uh, continue to postpone...]

On March [-]th of the seventh year of Longyuan, Fengtian Hall.

Because the emperor's funeral is imminent, the officials and wives in charge have been crying for seven or eight rounds since the dawn of the morning, and the monks and priests in the scripture shed are working on the assembly line. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, and they will never stop for a moment a cent.

After another round of crying, Mrs. Wang went back to the side hall with Daliuer. Seeing that Baochai beside her still had a solemn face, she hesitated and took out two pieces of dim sum, and quietly handed them to Youshi, saying, "Look at this, You may not be free at noon, you and Bao girl should make up for it first, so as not to be hungry."

You thanked him and gave another piece to Baochai.

Baochai didn't refuse, but just put it in her palm and didn't move.

Mrs. Xing watched coldly from the sidelines, and couldn't help but sneer and said, "The siblings really have a close relationship."

Mrs. Wang was a little disappointed when she saw that Baochai refused to eat the snacks she gave her. Hearing this, she gave her a sideways glance: "I only brought two yuan. Could it be that sister-in-law wants to grab some from the younger generation?"

"Humph~"

Mrs. Xing snorted coldly, and was about to say something, but suddenly there was a big change in Sichuan opera, and she stood up with a smile all over her face, "Why are you here?"

But it turned out that Jia Tanchun had arrived.

Mrs. Xing dared to compete with Mrs. Wang, but she never dared to provoke Tanchun. Every time she saw her, she greeted her with a smile.

Tan Chun nodded at Mrs. Xing, then leaned close to Mrs. Wang's ear and whispered, "Madam, brother Jiao let me inform you, remember to follow the queen's carriage as closely as possible tomorrow."

"Why is this?"

Mrs. Wang was puzzled when she heard this. Although the Rongguo Mansion had a high family background, it was already down and out. According to the normal queue, it would be impossible to follow the Queen closely.

"He didn't elaborate."

Tanchun shook his head: "Madam, just follow suit."

Saying that, he bowed slightly: "I still have an errand over there, so I don't want to stay for a long time."

Then he turned around and walked away.

Seeing her coming and going in a hurry, Mrs. Wang felt baffled, but when she turned around, she saw Baochai, Youshi, and even Mrs. Xing looking at her inquiringly.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Wang went to Baochai without hesitation, and repeated Tanchun's words.

Baochai was thoughtful after hearing this, but did not rush to speak.

On the other hand, Youshi listened to Nahan and said: "This time there will be more than a dozen concubines with ranks, we can only stay far behind, how can it be possible to follow the queen's Luanjia?"

Mrs. Xing nodded in agreement, and at the same time she did not forget to brag about her superior rank: "I am the only one in this house who may still be able to get involved."

The three of them were discussing, when they suddenly saw a few court ladies walking into the side hall, whispering to each other at the door for a while, and then scattered in all directions.

One of them came straight to this side, and when he got close, he bowed and said, "May I ask who is the second wife of Rongguo Mansion?"

Seeing that her name was named, Mrs. Wang stood up nervously: "I am, what can I tell you?"

"Don't dare."

The palace maid said: "Follow the Queen's order, all concubines and concubines who are above rank, and have their wives to enter the palace to guard the house, can apply in advance to ride with the empress."

That's what happened.

Mrs. Wang had just breathed a sigh of relief when Xue Baochai suddenly asked, "Aside from our wife, can other family members also apply?"

This was the first time Madam Wang heard Xue Baochai speak out on her own initiative since that day, and she felt as if she heard Lun's voice, so she hurriedly introduced: "This is my daughter-in-law, Xue Shi, your mother's brother-in-law."

The second half of the sentence is obviously superfluous, which shows the joy and urgency in her heart.

The maid nodded and said, "Of course it is possible."

"what about me?"

This is Mrs. Xing's joke, not to be outdone: "I am the mother's biological aunt, and I have been granted a first-class imperial order."

I don't want the maid to hesitate and said: "Two people are okay, if there are more, I'm afraid..."

"Just me and my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xue!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly finalized the matter, but she ignored Mrs. Xing who pulled her face down. She turned her head to Baochai and said courteously: "Your Majesty likes you the most, and you are the only one who gives you something. We will meet now, your sister-in-law The two just had a chat."

Xue Baochai glanced at her meaningfully, and once again resumed the state of looking at her nose, nose, nose, and heart.

Mrs. Wang was a little discouraged, but thinking that she had made some progress today, she calmed down and recharged her energy to prepare for the next howl.

at the same time.

The queen walked into the apse with a tired face, and seeing Concubine Wu Guizheng playing backgammon with the palace maid on the Arhat bed, she couldn't help but shook her head and smiled wryly: "My sister is really calm."

"What's there to worry about?"

Hearing her words, Concubine Wu Gui felt strange instead: "Didn't you say that everything is arranged properly? Besides, even if there is an accident, it won't be..."

"Cough~!"

The queen interrupted her with a dry cough, and waved her hand to signal all the court ladies and eunuchs to retreat, then sat on the other side and said helplessly: "This matter is of great importance, my sister should be more cautious."

Concubine Wu, you say she has a big heart, but she doesn't dare to face King Zhongshun; you say she is timid, as long as she is not allowed to stand on the front line, she is calmer than anyone else.

"What are you afraid of?"

Concubine Wu Gui stretched her limbs like a cat, and said as a matter of course: "Didn't Jiao Changqing say that even if an accident happens, the crown prince will not be implicated. Besides, if he loses power, the next minister to deal with is that treacherous king." .”

The queen was speechless for a moment.

This is indeed what Jiao Shun said, and it can stand logical scrutiny, but...

"how?"

Concubine Wu Gui raised her eyebrows, bowed her slender waist, and sent her upper body to the queen across the kang table, and asked with a smile without blinking: "Could it be that my sister is reluctant to part with him?"

"What are you talking about?!"

The empress poked her between the eyebrows in embarrassment, pushed her back, and said angrily: "Why are you just messing around at this time? I'm worried that if something happens tomorrow, the situation will be unmanageable."

"The scene can't be cleaned up?"

Concubine Wu Gui's complexion also changed when she heard the words: "Could it be that he is deceiving us?"

Seeing that the blood on her face faded away in an instant, the queen hurriedly said: "That's not true, I'm just worried about what might happen."

"Isn't that still thinking about him?"

Concubine Wu Gui's stiff body loosened, and she slumped on the cushion weakly and bonelessly, she curled her lips and said, "I originally prepared a big gift for him, but seeing what my sister means, I'm not sure whether I should give it to him or not." .”

"What do you mean?"

The queen was confused when she heard it, but instinctively felt that this matter was not simple, so she chased after her: "You don't want to do something out of the ordinary again, do you?"

"Haha, as expected, my sister understands me."

Concubine Wu Gui leaned forward again and triumphantly whispered something into the Queen's ear. Immediately, the Queen's complexion changed suddenly, and she grabbed her sleeve and said anxiously: "This, how can this be done?! No matter how she She is also His Majesty's concubine, how could, how could..."

"What about where?"

Concubine Wu Guifei sneered disdainfully: "Based on what she has done, a thousand cuts to death is not an exaggeration. Since she will die sooner or later, why not borrow flowers to offer Buddha?"

After a pause, she said meaningfully: "Besides, concubines who stole people in the past dynasties are not uncommon, and there are even some masters of the Sixth Palace..."

The queen stood up abruptly, gritted her silver teeth and said, "I don't want to hear your nonsense, so I'm going back to watch the spirit."

With that said, he left the apse as if fleeing.

…………

It's evening.

Shi Zhoumo, the head of the Zhongshun Palace, trotted out of the Donghua Gate, and handed over a brief itinerary to Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang opened it and took a few glances. Seeing that King Zhongshun's carriage was next to the crown prince and queen, he nodded secretly, and then asked, "How many people have we deployed?"

Zhou Mo wiped the sweat from his temples with a handkerchief, and said, "There are 500 Dragon Guards guarding along the way, and about [-]% of them have greeted them, but there are probably only a hundred or so who can actually be used."

"A hundred people?"

Mr. Jiang frowned at first, but thinking about it, it was only a month or so before King Zhongshun started to win over the Dragon Guards. It is already quite good to have such a result, so he said: "It's a little less, but it's enough. ——remember to keep an eye on the prince on the road besides protecting the prince, as long as the prince is in our hands, we can say anything!"

Zhou Mo responded with a full mouth, and smiled again: "Sir, there is no need to worry too much. Didn't we just resume the game? Unless someone can conjure a soldier out of thin air, there is nothing wrong with it."

"I'm just trying to prevent the passing of time."

Mr. Jiang said solemnly: "It's all about Zhou Changshi tonight, if there's something wrong with the Dragon Guards..."

"Don't worry, the prince and I have already prepared!"

"That's good."

Mr. Jiang thought about it, and felt that there was nothing more to tell him, so he handed back the road map and said goodbye to Zhou Mo in front of the palace gate.

Zhou Mo took the picture back to King Zhongshun's temporary residence in the palace, but he couldn't help being taken aback when he got outside the palace gate.

In Gein's spacious hall, there were only a few candles lit in the corners, and they surrounded King Zhongshun in a square shape, projecting his fat figure on the wall with teeth and claws.

Zhou Mo hesitated for a moment, didn't dare to move forward too much, and raised his voice: "My lord, I just met Mr. Jiang just now."

King Zhongshun turned his head to look this way, and immediately shouted: "What are you doing standing so far away, come closer and talk!"

Zhou Mo hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes and trotted to get behind King Zhongshun. He bowed and was about to continue reporting, but his eyes suddenly became straight.

Just now he couldn't see clearly from a distance, but now with the help of the candlelight, the clothes wrapped around King Zhongshun's body are clearly the five-clawed dragon robe!

hiss~
Zhou Mo gasped, and couldn't help trembling: "My lord, this, this dragon robe..."

When did the prince get a dragon robe, why didn't he even know about it as the head of the palace? !
Could it be that he fell out of favor? !
"Haha~"

King Zhongshun scratched his head and posed in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, proudly said: "I don't want to think that the dragon robe worn by the emperor, this king also fits perfectly. It can be seen that God's will is so, how can people disobey it?"

It turned out to be the dragon robe of the Supreme Emperor.

After thinking about it, Zhou Mo understood what was going on. According to regulations, when the Supreme Emperor was buried tomorrow, he would be buried with several formal attires and ordinary clothes. It was really lucky that King Zhongshun took one out of them.

Although King Zhongshun's face looked like a monkey crowned, Zhou Mo still caught the few advantages and praised it fiercely, and the loyal and obedient King Longyan Dayue got carried away with it.

After a long time, he remembered that he still had something serious to ask Zhou Mo, so he put on his robe sleeves and asked, "What did the surname Jiang say?"

Zhou Mo hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything, just reminded us to keep an eye on the prince, even if something unexpected happens, as long as the prince is in hand, we will be able to avert danger."

"嘁~"

King Zhongshun stopped what he was doing, and said disapprovingly, "It's that scaremongering thing again, keeping an eye on the crown prince and the king... Cough, don't I know?"

As soon as the word "zhen" came out, he seemed to have taken two more breaths of fairy air, and his whole body became abnormally excited, with his chest puffed up and his belly full of pretension.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo hurriedly changed his title: "I said the same thing at the time, and later, Mr. Jiang repeatedly told me to pay attention to the troubles in the palace tonight, especially those involving the Dragon Guards."

Hearing the word 'Dragon Guard', King Zhongshun finally took it seriously, nodded and said: "This matter must not be sloppy, you should not sleep tonight, and take this king's waist card to patrol around Fan, if there is anything wrong, report it immediately!"

Zhou Mo immediately slapped his sleeves and threw himself on the ground in a serious manner: "Minister, lead the decree!"

"Hahaha~"

King Zhongshun laughed triumphantly again, and waved his hand at Zhou Mo: "Go, go."

Only then did Zhou Mo get up, turned his head and walked outside.

But just as he was about to cross the threshold, King Zhongshun stopped him again and ordered: "Tell me to the outside. I didn't have my king's order at night, so I went inside and beheaded myself!"

As soon as Zhou Mo heard this, he guessed that King Zhongshun probably hadn't had enough, and was going to sleep in the dragon robe.

It's also a good thing he wasn't shy at all.

Zhou Mo naturally agreed, and went outside to give a death order to a few accompanying servants, and then inspected the guard work around the perimeter, and then led a few people into the night.

After Zhou Mo left, King Zhongshun admired himself in front of the mirror for a while, but maybe because he lacked a role to cheer him up, he always felt that he was not as emotional as before.

Thinking about getting up early tomorrow morning to preside over the funeral, he walked to the bed in square steps with one hand in front of the other.

Hey~
It's a pity that this is not a dragon bed but a cold kang, and the absence of the 72 concubines of the Sangong Sixth Courtyard is really disappointing.

King Zhongshun sighed, but cheered up again in an instant. According to the current development, he has a great opportunity to reproduce the "great achievements" of Emperor Sejong, and he will naturally sleep on the dragon bed and marry the Sangong Sixth Court.

hmm~
Considering that the selection of concubines is not so fast, it is not impossible to use the 'old' one.

He was lying on the bed with the quilt in his arms, and when he closed his eyes, he saw Emperor Longyuan's group of pretty widows with fat swallows and thin rings.

On the other hand, Concubine Rong and Concubine Xiande, one is not sure about life and death, and the other is being suppressed. When I am on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, I promise them some benefits, so why not surrender?

By the time……

Hey!

Just like that, King Zhongshun gradually fell asleep wearing the dragon robe, and in the midst of his dreamy dreams, he ushered in the dawn of the funeral.
