What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

On the first day of October in the second year of Fuxi, Concubine Meng Taifei hanged herself.

When the news reached Jiaofang Palace, the Queen was still asleep.

She hurriedly dressed and rushed to the Longevity Palace, bypassing the magnificent main hall to the remote side palace.

This is a small square yard.

The three main halls in the middle are used to get up and sleep, and the wing rooms on both sides are tea room, warehouse, wing room and firewood room.

It is very different from the magnificent atmosphere of the main hall, this place is very dilapidated.

The mottled walls are covered with long-term moss, and the old paint has lost its original color.

The faded window screens on the porch, the dusty panes, and the railings that are stable at one end and falling off at the other, all show that the status of the owner here is not very good.

The queen covered her nose, for fear of being hit by the bad smell.

If Concubine Meng was not a concubine, she would never have appeared in such a humble place.

"Your Majesty, you really have to take care of this matter, and Dowager Meng can't just hang herself."

People from the Shang Palace Bureau responded one after another.

He called Old Wei to go over again and again, and every date went smoothly, and he was never discovered.

Lu Chen is on duty tonight.

The queen was stunned for a while and suddenly sneered.

The second-class maid of Jiaofang Palace is really bold.

-

Concubine Meng's funeral was silent, like a drop of water falling into the sea.

Xie Chenyu immediately ordered to send reinforcements, but who to send over became a problem.

Nanny Cheng thought that what she said was clear enough that the empress would always know what to do, but unexpectedly the queen didn't understand at all.

Nanny Cheng held her forehead, gritted her teeth and whispered.

The emperor paused and continued.

So now, it is the best state.

"Are you sure she's just a second-class court lady?"

A large number of craftsmen and court ladies and eunuchs were sent to clean up and tidy up and down the harem, saying that it was the way to welcome newcomers.

Nanny Cheng also came out from inside, hurriedly stopped the queen, and whispered to her.

Lu Chen was slightly suspicious.

Nanny Cheng knew no matter how hard it was to persuade her, she had no choice but to give up.

Xie Chenyu directly refused: "You don't want to stay by my side that much? Wait until I have a suitable person to replace you, then go out."

One is that the end of the year is approaching, and the queen will not be idle.

Lufu went in, and came out quickly to report: "Madam, Concubine Meng...she walked away quite peacefully, the nuns of the Shang Palace Bureau have already tidied up and are waiting for you to speak."

At the same time, Xie Chenyu also received news from Zhao Hai.

"Find a place with good geomantic omen, and use the best clothes for burial. Even if you don't want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, you have to have a grand burial. After all..."

"According to the decree of the palace, Concubine Meng hanged herself to death, which would damage the royal family's face, so she will not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, just find a good place to bury her."

As in previous years, a banquet was set up to pray and pray for blessings. The only difference was the demeanor of the emperor and empress.

The third, which is the most important, is that the emperor will have a draft in the coming year, and everyone in the palace is excited about it.

It was Lu Chen who was speaking. Now that he has an official position, he can also go to court to discuss politics.

-

Madam Cheng understood, and went to the guard camp alone in the dead of night.

When he came out of the imperial study room, he was sweating coldly.

Xie Chenyu had heard about it, but didn't want to care about it.

She drank a few glasses of wine, dismantled her hairpin one by one as usual, changed into homely clothes that were blue and blue, and called Mammy Cheng to ask her.

The queen slumped on the back of the chair, indifferent to the news reported by Lufu that "the emperor brought nobleman Lin out of the palace again".

This year, the two are obviously close in appearance, they respect each other like guests, they are really strangers like guests.

He saw with his own eyes an old nanny coming over, mumbling a few words to Old Wei Tou, and Old Wei Tou followed happily.

Because he didn't want to pamper a woman he didn't like, nor did he want to give the Wang family any face.

The palace people shuttled around every corner of the harem in full swing, not even letting go of the weeds at the base of the palace walls.

The second is to prepare for the removal ceremony of the late emperor. After this year, the period of filial piety will be completely over.

After the Queen left, she confessed to the Shang Palace Bureau.

The Empress has been busy for many days with the Shang Palace Bureau,

When the news reached Qianqing Palace, Xie Chenyu's face darkened, and he confessed to Zhao Hai.

The palace is busy at the end of the year.

"What do you mean, she hanged herself, so what does this have to do with me?"

"Your Majesty, let me go, I want to see that place in northern Xinjiang."

"Then I can't lie, can I?"

"What can I say, she will die if she wants to die", the queen was impatient.

He knew that the queen had complaints, but he didn't want to eliminate them.

"Your Majesty, where is the face of the emperor, and where is the face of the royal family?"

She leaned back in the chair as if on purpose.

"Just pack it up, Ben Gong will watch over here"

It turned out that the emperor also noticed that something was wrong with the empress.

-

"Go and go, what does it have to do with me?"

Palace rules strictly forbid court ladies and guards to have adulterous affairs, and if they are found out, they will lose half their lives and be expelled from the palace.

"It's not General Lu, it's another guard in the Imperial Forest Army."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, taking this matter to heart.

The last sentence was very light, and Zhao Hai was stunned for a long time before he realized it.

He has all the civil and military affairs in the court, so why go back to the old days when he looked at the faces of ministers.

After hearing this, Xie Chenyu was indifferent.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go to battle to kill the enemy, please allow me."

The days go by and the year passes.

The queen resisted and entered the main hall, and refused to go in again.

"Does my clothes look good?"

"Your Majesty, it's already packed, do you want to..."

"Just do as the queen says, but..."

In previous years, they talked and laughed as if they were deeply in love with each other.

Recently there have been rumors in the palace that the empress is often drunk, and always speaks crazy things after drinking, why it is better to marry a trafficker and pawn than to stay alone in the boudoir, what is falling flowers deliberately and ruthlessly, and what is silent to face the ancestors.

The emperor doesn't care about her anymore, it's too ridiculous to care about the royal face.

After more than two years and nearly three years since he ascended the throne, the thorns of the Wang family were finally about to be deposed.

Suddenly news came from northern Xinjiang that the Xiongnu had invaded, and the general Zhenbei had only [-] soldiers and horses, and he was obviously invincible.

"Keep an eye on the Shang Palace Bureau, don't let them mess around, and keep an eye on the Queen"

Dashengchao, up and down, went all out to welcome the new year.

After all, those who have served the late emperor are high-ranking people, so they should find a reason to take care of the funeral affairs no matter what. There are not many people who directly say it and announce it to the world like the queen.

After the Lantern Festival.

Time flies, February ends early March.

"Green Float, you go"

Lin Zhengxiao came out.

To be honest, he wanted to go to the place where his mother Heshen had been waiting for all these years, and he also wanted to succeed his father's ideal, to serve the country faithfully and faithfully.

Be more selfish.

He wants to make military exploits as soon as possible, revive the Lin family business, let his mother enjoy her old age peacefully, and let his father's spirit in heaven be more comforting.

He was the only one left in the direct branch of the Lin family, and he didn't want to wait too long.
