Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 21
The palace was full of condolences, and many palace people wept secretly.

Princess Anhe treats the palace people very well, and is very considerate and protective, so the palace people love this little princess very much.

The funeral was rushed this time, white silk was not even allowed to be hung in the palace, and the palace people were not required to wear white ceremonial clothes, and most importantly, the emperor just buried in a hurry, and seemed to have a lot of resentment towards the princess.

It was as if in the court hall, the old emperor blurted out: "My daughter is not as good as Zhaojun, and she will share the worries of my father and the country."

Although the deceased is the most important thing, the old emperor didn't care about burying his daughter. What was on his mind was another matter.

Qingyi's envoys urged again and again, and the sword light in Shanyu's hand, who was far away from Sishui, lit up again.

It was as if there were thieves holding weapons on the side of the couch, how could the old emperor sleep.

"You are all the pillars of the country, the ministers of the humerus. Now that there is a crisis, how should we explain the peace to Qingyi..."

The old emperor sighed and looked around at the courtiers.

His Majesty's Tai Tuo is getting old this time, his hair is as white as snow, and his hands are trembling.

The Wangge old man on the side is also emaciated, and he is the only one in charge of the country's major affairs in the court, and the cabinet's daily reports and remonstrances are all piled up in the room.

The faces of the rest of the courtiers were also full of mourning, they felt sorry for each other, but they kept silent.

"Old Wang Ge, you are a veteran of the three dynasties, tell me..."

Elder Wang Ge, who was pointed out by the old emperor, took a step forward helplessly, turned his body slightly and asked, "Wang Shilang is in charge of receiving Qingyi envoys, what is Qingyi's attitude towards this incident?"

The Wang Shilang who was asked was not the Wang Su who was forced into the post by Jiang Sile before, but an old man.

The third-rank minister of Honglu Temple, Lord Wang Yuange.

The lord took a step forward and responded: "The envoys of Qingyi have a tough attitude. They still don't want gold, silver and jewels, and only ask the princess to marry them. This... the lower officials tried to persuade them in every possible way, but Qingyi didn't understand etiquette and insisted on doing so."

The old emperor stared angrily, and said, "How can I have a daughter to marry Qingyi Shanyu! Doesn't this mean that I will marry Anle again?"

At Qingyi's request, all this returned to the original point.

Although the old emperor was angry, he was not overwhelmed and looked at Wang Ge with earnest eyes.

Old Wang Ge's face twitched, what could he do.

After sorting out the rhetoric in his heart, Wang Ge said: "The current plan is to choose the daughter of the clan from the clan, make her a princess, marry in Qingyi, and achieve the good of the two countries."

"That's right, that's right, Wang Shilang quickly forwarded the old man's reply to the Qingyi envoy." The old emperor said, he just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible.

"The minister obeys the order."

After the discussion of major events in the court was completed, everyone dispersed, leaving only the crown prince Jiang Yi with his head hanging down.

When Fu Sheng found the prince, Jiang Yi had already been sitting in the side hall for an hour.

Fu Sheng shook his robe and hurried into the hall.

The weather was changing, and it was raining when Fu Sheng came, so he had to hurry to come in the rain.

"His Royal Highness, don't be too sad..."

Fu Sheng walked into the hall and sat beside Jiang Yi, held a cup of hot tea, and comforted him.

Jiang Yi's face was pale, and he came back to his senses when he heard Fu Sheng's voice, his voice was hoarse: "Fu Sheng...you are here"

Jiang Yi only felt that his body was numb, and the sadness in his heart was beyond words, and he murmured softly: "Second sister is gone, and I sent her to the imperial mausoleum by myself."

"Princess Anhe is the closest to you, and I will be sad to see the prince like this. Please take care of your health, too."

Fu Sheng comforted him again.

Fu Sheng's arrival was not only his own intention. Concubine Cheng specially sent someone outside the palace to send news to Fu Sheng, asking him to enter the palace to comfort the crown prince.

After all, Concubine Cheng still loves her son dearly, and Fu Sheng and Jiang Yi grew up together, so they are inevitably worried.

"I'm all right, I'm just feeling sorry for my second sister..."

As Jiang Yi spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

"The last time I went to see my second sister, I realized that her palace is so small, and the utensils are quite old, surrounded by some old nanny..."

Jiang Yi has a benevolent personality, and he treats the people around him like this, and he loves this younger sister who died young even more.

"You said...if the person who married was An Le instead of An He...wouldn't it be..." Before Jiang Yi finished speaking, Fu Sheng stopped him sharply.

"Prince be careful."

Fu Sheng's voice was stern, like a sharp sword, which immediately woke up the prince who was immersed in grief.

"It's a lonely mistake"

Jiang Yi also knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly stopped talking.

"It's God's will, Princess An Le's marriage, doesn't it mean that His Highness doesn't care about it? And with Princess An Le's temper, I'm afraid this matter will become even bigger. Your Highness still has this young girl, so she should love her more."

Fu Sheng's warning made Jiang Yi nod frequently.

"Gu knows, I will go to Bailu Hall to see Anle later, will you go with me?"

Jiang Yi asked very casually and sincerely. He didn't want a rift between his brother and sister.

Fu Sheng's face froze, and under Jiang Yi's gaze, he said awkwardly: "You can just go down, I have other things, so I won't accompany you..."

After saying that, Fu Sheng got up and left, but Jiang Yi always felt that the back looked like he was running away.

……

The Bailu Palace has a new look now, and Lu Zhi is urging the palace servants to sweep and wipe the doors and windows. When he saw Prince Jiang Yi entering in a white robe, he hurriedly greeted him.

"His Royal Highness"

Lu Zhi leaned over to salute, but the corner of her eyes was watching the rather virtuous prince.

This time the prince didn't wear fancy clothes, but only in plain clothes, but he looked handsome and tall.

"Where's your princess?"

Jiang Yi looked around, this time he finally entered the gate of Bailu Hall.

When his father banned An Le a few times ago, An Le was so angry that he shut him out, and he was shut out several times.

"Your Highness is in the room, this way please..."

Lvzhi led Jiang Yi through the gate of the hall to the study of the side hall.

It is said to be a study room, but there are not many books.There are many gorgeous utensils in the room, as well as qin and se ritual utensils.

Jiang Sile was lying on her side on the imperial concubine's couch next to the bed, gently fanning the Xiangfei fan with one hand.

"Prince?"

Jiang Sile looked at the man entering the hall with a look of boredom on his face.

"Anle...you"

The prince looked at his younger sister leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, without any intention of getting up.

"What are you doing here?"

Jiang Sile asked bluntly.

"Can't I come and see An Le alone?" Jiang Yi said with a bit of sadness on his face.

"Since the second sister left, I have only one younger sister, An Le."

"Even with Jiang Yuan'er, you only have my own sister."

Jiang Sile didn't care about Jiang Yi's sentimentality, and asked Luzhi to pass Jiang Yi a chair.

"Don't do this..."

As soon as Jiang Yi moved his mouth, Jiang Sile knew what he was going to say, she covered her ears and shook her head.

"Don't listen, don't listen! Did you come here to reason with me?"
