Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 137 Prevention (Part [-])
After burning a round of paper money, they and the female relatives from other houses went to the side hall to meet the queen.

The funeral of the old concubine was arranged by the empress, the head of the harem.

Looking at Jiang Changning, who was dressed in plain clothes and looked as clear as a chrysanthemum, the Queen's eyelids twitched.

The emperor was always thinking about Jiang Changning, if he saw Jiang Changning dressed up like this, he might be biting someone, and he would not let go.

"The weather is hot, everyone should pay more attention to your body." The queen politely urged.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your concern." All the noble ladies bowed one after another.

"Stopping for fourteen days, it's really hard for everyone to come into the palace to cry every day. Although the dead are the most important, but you can't just respect the dead and make the living suffer. I will go and invite the empress dowager to let everyone take turns. Go into the palace and cry, so that everyone will not have to work so hard."

The queen came up with this idea on the spur of the moment, and cried for fourteen days, which was too long to guard against.

It may be a good idea to reduce the number of times Jin Wangfei enters the palace so that the emperor can't find opportunities.

All the noble ladies were overjoyed when they heard the words, if this is true, then of course it would be a good thing.

Everyone didn't have much relationship with the old concubine, many people had never even seen each other, they went to the palace to cry, they followed the etiquette, otherwise, who would want to come.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your compassion." Princess De said first.

Others followed suit, "Thank you, Madam, for your compassion."

The queen went to the Fushou Palace first, and the female relatives from all the prefectures went to the mourning hall to cry.

Jiang Changning, Prince De and Princess Changshan huddled together beside a brazier and threw paper into it.

"Do you think the Empress Dowager will agree?" Prince De's princess asked in a low voice.

"I will agree. It's so hot. Is it possible that a few people will die from the heat, so it's better for everyone to hang white?" Changshan Wangshizifei said.

In the hall, only the female relatives of the prince's mansion, the county king's mansion and the princess' mansion are in this hall.

Although the smell is a bit unpleasant, but after all, do not dry.

Those who kneel under the verandah are really hard. The eaves above are too high and the sunlight is limited.

You must know that most of the official women's family members kneeling there are not young anymore, and several of them are over [-] years old.

If one or two of them knelt to death, the folks would say that the royal family is not kind.

Half an hour later, the queen came back, "The empress dowager has agreed, and tomorrow I will invite the family members of Prince Qing's Mansion, Prince Jiujiang Mansion, Uncle Yongyi's Mansion, and third-rank officials' families to come."

Officials and family members below the third rank are not eligible to enter the palace to cry.

So, although the crying spirit is tiring, it is an honor.

The queen made arrangements for the crying people one by one.

Together with Jin Wangfu, the mansions that entered the palace to cry for spirits are Changshan Wangfu, Xinjianjungongfu, Suiguogongfu, and Xinwuhoufu.
The queen's arrangements were also painstaking. Princess Changshan and Mrs. Xinwuhou were both born generals with integrity and strong personalities. The emperor would never dare to take away Princess Jin in front of them.

Princess Jiashan is the emperor's aunt, and the emperor has always been afraid of her.

Sui Guogong's mansion is her natal family, and she can privately ask her mother and sister-in-law to stay with Princess Jin and not let Princess Jin be alone.

The wives of other mansions are also mostly honest and honest people.

The queen strictly guarded against it to such an extent, but the emperor still saw Jiang Changning.

That day, the emperor who had come to pay homage to the old concubine the previous day came again.

He saw Jiang Changning kneeling in front of the brazier burning paper money. She was wearing a moon-white plain satin palace dress with a low bun and silver jewelry on it.

The whole person looks very cold and elegant, like a fairy Chang'e who came down from the moon palace.

The emperor involuntarily took two steps towards Jiang Changning's direction, but Eunuch Yu stepped forward to stop him tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Princess Jiashan is offering incense for you."

This reminder brought the dazed emperor back to his senses, he glanced at Jiang Changning reluctantly, and walked towards the coffin.

As soon as the emperor arrived at the mourning hall, someone immediately reported to the queen.

This kind of behavior of spying on the emperor's trace is not allowed.

But the queen had to do it, she couldn't let the emperor do wrong things.

A concubine grandmother, who didn't see how much the emperor cared about her filial piety during her lifetime, is it necessary to pay homage to her for two consecutive days after her death?

It is too obvious who the emperor is aiming at.

When the king seizes the minister's wife, it is a sign of the country's subjugation.

The previous dynasty was a lesson for others, and the Helian family was able to establish a country because of this.

Is it because of the gain of the country, and the loss of the country?
The queen rushed over in a hurry, and was relieved to see the situation in the mourning hall.

Jiang Changning burned paper on the right side of the coffin, and the emperor spoke to Jiashan Princess Jiashan on the left side.

"The Empress has also come to pay homage." The eldest princess of Jiashan showed a trace of doubt in her eyes. Why did this couple care so much about Concubine Xiang?

"Aunt Jiashan." The queen called out affectionately.

The queen lit incense, made a toast, and called out: "Your Majesty."

The king of a country cannot stand before the spirit of a concubine who neither nurtured nor assisted him.

The emperor left with the queen, and the wife of an unknown mansion next to him praised: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are really benevolent and filial."

Renxiao?

Jiang Changning snorted lightly, are you joking?

She didn't know whether others paid attention or not, but she noticed that the emperor seemed to be walking towards her just now.

She really doesn't want to be so sensitive, but the fact is that the emperor has a heart for her.

Being targeted by a lecherous king is a headache.

Fortunately, the empress noticed something and made corresponding arrangements. She only needs to go to the palace to cry once more, and then she can send the old concubine to the funeral.

But to be so "concerned" by people all the time is like a stab in the back and a thorn in the throat, so he has to find a way to make the emperor feel powerless.

"It's not good, Mrs. Luo has fainted." Zeng Zhaofu exclaimed.

Mrs. Luo was nearly [-] years old, her body was already thin, and she was wearing a second-grade official uniform. She burned paper and cried, and passed out from the heat.

"You can't let her lie here." Jiang Changning went over to help her up.

"Her lips are all white. Is this due to illness or heatstroke?" Zeng Zhaofu stretched out his hand to pinch
"Come here, go and announce the imperial physician." The eldest princess Jiashan commanded them, "Hurry up and help Mrs. Luo to the side hall."

"Princess Jin, let me help you," said Princess Changshan.

"Okay." Jiang Changning also knew that his strength was limited, so he backed away.

Several people helped Mrs. Luo into the side hall and let her lie down on the soft couch.

Mrs. Luo's condition was quite bad, her eyes were closed tightly, her lips were pale, but her cheeks were strangely red.

"Everyone, don't crowd around, spread out and get some air." Jiang Changning said while unbuttoning Mrs. Luo's collar.

"Princess Jin is right, everyone should spread out, Mrs. Luo probably has heatstroke." The eldest princess Jiashan was afraid that others would think that Jiang Changning was young and would not listen to her, so she hurriedly offered to help.

The people dispersed and the windows were opened, but it was too hot and there was no wind, so the house was still stuffy.

"Go and bring in an ice basin." Jin Wang Taifei pointed to the maid and said.

Move the ice basin in and put it beside Mrs. Luo, and the maid fanned the ice basin for Mrs. Luo, finally it was cooler around Mrs. Luo.

Zeng Zhaofu rubbed Mrs. Luo's temples, the back of the neck and other acupuncture points. After a while, Mrs. Luo's lips turned a little bloody, and her face was not as red as before.
