Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

"Hey, I'm not good at studying, and sometimes I can't see accurately. Sister Wanbin, please don't worry too much, just take it as a joke." Yan Guiren said with a smile.

Concubine Wan saw that she was acting like a joke, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Mother Guanbi, good things are coming soon. It's always good to be cautious in everything. Sister Yan is not talking nonsense." Xia Dongchun took a sip of tea and said warmly.

Just as he was talking, the maid from Qixiang Palace asked to see him, saying that it was the imperial doctor who came to ask for a safe pulse for Mr. Yan.

Yan Guiren then said to invite the imperial doctor to Suiyuxuan and ask for pulse at Suiyuxuan.

Xia Dongchun rolled his eyes and probably guessed Yan Guiren's intention.

Sure enough, after the imperial doctor took Yan Guiren's pulse, Yan Guiren took Zhen Huan and Xia Dongchun to ask for Ping'an's pulse together. It was difficult to resist the kindness, and Xia Dongchun was the first to extend his hand.

Xia Dongchun just had his pulse taken two days ago, so naturally everything was fine.

When it was Zhen Huan's turn, Xia Dongchun subconsciously calmed down and waited for the results of the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan did not have a happy pulse. The imperial doctor only said that everything was fine and she was slightly weak and cold.

Xia Dongchun hid her surprise and glanced at Yan Guiren. She was naturally a little suspicious.

Zhen Huan looked as usual and thought it was just a normal pulse diagnosis.

After chatting for a while, Xia Dongchun excused himself to say goodbye and returned to Yanxi Palace.

After returning, he told Mo Shuang and ordered the people in Yanxi Palace to stay away from Yan Guiren in the future and not to reveal too much about what happened in Yanxi Palace.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the canonization ceremony has arrived. The day before yesterday, Xia Dongchun ordered Mo Shuang and others to carefully inspect all the objects used in the canonization ceremony, and put a special person under guard, and re-inspect them at least three times a day.

Xia Dongchun deliberately got up early and personally inspected the auspicious clothes, headwear, various jewelry, and even the armor that Feng Fei would use. Only after he had inspected everything did he feel relieved.

Although he knew that the Queen must be busy dealing with Zhen Huan at this time and it might not necessarily affect her, but to be on the safe side, it would never be wrong to be cautious. After all, today's canonization ceremony is grand, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to take care of several empresses. Even if it is an accidental omission, it is very possible.

The concubine's canonization ceremony should be more grand. Concubine Duan was in poor health. Although her health had improved since raising Princess Wen Yi, it was not successful at all. Therefore, the emperor was considerate of Concubine Duan's frailty and simplified it.

After the imperial concubine comes the ceremony of conferring the title of concubine, which involves three kneels and nine kowtows. After paying homage to the emperor and empress, the female official announces the concubine's title, and then awards the gold book and gold seal.

Finally, the ceremony of welcoming a concubine and concubinage should be more simplified.

When it was close to noon, the canonization ceremony was completed. Concubine Duan, Concubine Wan, Concubine Chang, and Concubine Xin entered Jingren Palace to pay homage to the Queen and listen to the Queen's instructions.

According to the legend, the Queen suddenly suffered from a headache. The Emperor was accompanying her and asked the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment. He asked Concubine Duan and others to sit in the main hall for a while.

Several people readily agreed.

Xia Dongchun sat upright, not even daring to make any big move while drinking tea, but his eyes glanced at Zhen Huan from time to time.

If she didn't want to save him, she would have more than enough ambition but not enough power.

Not long after, a little palace maid came in, came to Zhen Huan, whispered a few words in her ear, and then Zhen Huan hesitantly got up and followed her to the back hall.

Xia Dongchun's eyes dimmed and followed Zhen Huan until her figure disappeared.

Then there was a long wait. I don't know how long it took before I saw the queen coming in a hurry. She calmed down, accepted the gift from the three people, and gave them a lecture, without mentioning Concubine Wan's whereabouts. Then they ordered the three of them to return to the palace.

Concubine Duan took a step forward and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, the empress is so kind. I, my concubines, and others went to the canonization ceremony with Concubine Wan, but I don't know why Concubine Wan was nowhere to be seen."

"Concubine Duan, be careful. Concubine Wan has not yet listened to my instructions, so it cannot be considered as a courtesy. Moreover, she has behaved badly and has been sent back to Suiyuxuan by the emperor. There will be no Concubine Wan in the palace in the future." The queen said coldly.

"But..." Concubine Duan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the queen impatiently.

"Okay, the wind has not subsided yet, so I have to go and rest. Concubine Duan, please do as you please."

Concubine Duan had no choice but to give her a blessing.

Several people walked out of Jingren Palace together. Concubine Duan suggested that they go to Broken Yuxuan to have a look. Xia Dongchun also wanted to confirm her suspicions.

Halfway through the journey, I saw several groups of guards running towards Broken Yuxuan without looking back.

From a distance, you can see that the Suiyuxuan palace door is closed, and several teams of guards are closely guarding it.

Then I saw Hui Bin and Yan Guiren who came after hearing the news, both with anxious expressions on their faces.

Xia Dongchun's heart sank to the bottom. She knew that she was helpless at this time, so she could only comfort everyone with words.

"Sisters, please don't be anxious. Now that we can no longer enter the Broken Jade Pavilion, why not go back to the palace and wait for news, wait for the emperor to issue a clear edict, and then make a decision. It will be better than being like a headless fly now and having no clue." .”

Concubine Duan also spoke in a warm voice: "What sister Chang Concubine said is absolutely true. We should go back to the palace first and wait for the news. It is not appropriate to gather in such a swarm at the entrance of Suiyuxuan."

Only then did everyone disperse.

When they returned to Yanxi Palace, Bai Guo came to greet them from afar.

He helped Xia Dongchun into the inner room, leaving a few trustworthy people in the room, and then closed the doors and windows.

While waiting for Xia Dongchun to change her clothes and take off her hairpin, she whispered back.

"Empress, this servant heard from the palace maid outside half an hour ago that Concubine Wan was sent back to Suiyuxuan wearing only the inner cotton-padded clothes. Then she heard the eunuch declare an order to close the Suiyuxuan palace door and no one was allowed to enter or leave. "

"Let's call her concubine from now on. The empress has said that if you don't listen to the instructions from the palace, you can't be considered a concubine. What's the news outside now?" Xia Dongchun said calmly.

"It is said that Concubine Wan mistakenly wore Queen Chunyuan's auspicious clothes when she was conferred as a concubine. This offended the late Queen, which is a serious crime of disrespect."

"Has the emperor conveyed the imperial edict?" Xia Dongchun stopped his movements and asked.

"Not yet."

"Mother, is there room for change in this matter?" Mo Shuang asked worriedly.

"I don't know. Even if there is, it has nothing to do with us. Unless I am ruthless and unrighteous, in fact, this time it concerns Queen Chunyuan, and the emperor will definitely not let it go. If I come forward easily, it will be useless. I’m afraid that it will offend the emperor.”

"It is wise for your Majesty to protect yourself. I have just seen how big the battle is and thought it must be no small matter. I was also worried that you would step forward because of the kindness of my concubine to help me last time. Your Majesty has thought carefully, so I am relieved." It's just fine, how could Concubine Wan wear Queen Chunyuan's clothes by mistake?" Mo Shuang was puzzled.

"I heard that the auspicious clothes originally sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were damaged, and I couldn't find any with the same etiquette. A few days ago, the Queen's Palace sent some old clothes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for repair, and there happened to be one with the same style as the concubine. The auspicious clothes are of similar etiquette, so I didn't know they were Queen Chunyuan's clothes, so I brought them for emergency use." Ging Guo lowered his voice.
