Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 1079
Sure enough, the two of them hadn't walked for a while before a servant from Zhuangzi came over with the man who had just been riding a horse.

"The slave has met Lord Baylor, Mao Fang Fujin." The person who came was Xiao Xu Zi from the front yard.

"But something happened in the mansion?" Eighth Master asked.

"Master Belle, yes, it is the Supreme Emperor who has passed away." Little Xu Zi said.

"What?" Ba Ye was stunned, thinking for a moment that he had heard wrong.

"The Supreme Emperor has passed away, and the Emperor wants you to return to Beijing immediately." Little Xu Zi said again.

"Huang Ama passed away?" Ba Ye said almost word for word.

No matter how much hatred he once had towards Kangxi, at this moment, only shock and disappointment remained.

Mao Tongtong was also surprised.When he left Beijing, Ba Ye also said that Kangxi's condition was stable now, and he might be able to survive the coming winter.But he didn't want to die in just a few days!
"Master." Mao Tongtong gently tugged on Ba Ye's sleeve, and said softly: "The sun is setting, let's go back. We will leave early tomorrow morning."

"Ah, good!" Eighth Master finally came back to his senses, but he was still a little dazed.

"Grandpa Xu, thank you for your hard work. Let's rest on Zhuangzi tonight, and return to Beijing with us tomorrow." Mao Tongtong said.

"Yes." Little Xu Zi straightened up.

Mao Tongtong saw that Ba Ye was in a bad mood, so he supported Ba Ye's arm along the way.

Although she knew that the father-son relationship between Ba Ye and Kangxi was mixed with many other things, even hatred.But after all, they are father and son, blood is thicker than water!Ba Ye's hard work for so many years before was also to get Kangxi's approval. Even if he realized the truth later, the obsession in his heart might not have dissipated.Now knowing that Kangxi died suddenly, the inner fluctuation is definitely not small.

On the way back to the residence, Ba Ye didn't speak, and Mao Tongtong didn't bother him, until after entering the house, she brought him a cup of hot tea.

"Master, my condolences. It's actually a relief for the Supreme Emperor to go." Mao Tongtong said slowly: "He has been a wise and powerful man all his life, and now he is paralyzed on the bed every day and can't do anything. It is also very uncomfortable."

Although it is often said that a good death is worse than a bad life, for some people with a strong temper, it is better to die than to live in humiliation.

Holding the hot tea in his hand, Ba Ye finally spoke, "Tong Tong, thank you. I'm fine."

"Master, if you feel sad and want to cry, you don't have to hold back." Mao Tongtong said softly.

Ba Ye shook his head, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "I've already expected this day. I can't cry, but my chest is so tight that I feel like I'm being pressed by something and I can't breathe. I don't know How's it going in the palace?"

"Your Majesty," Mao Tongtong paused, and said, "I must be sad too. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to accompany my Majesty."

Eighth Master nodded.Concubine Liang has been with Kangxi for 30 years, and she has been favored and heartbroken.But Kangxi is the only man in her life after all.Now that it's gone, I'm definitely sad.

"Master, now that the Supreme Emperor has passed away, can we take the concubine Liang out of the palace to live?" Mao Tongtong asked.She vaguely remembered that there was such a rule.An adult prince like Ba Ye can take his mother-in-law out of the palace to take care of him after his family's Ama dies.

"This will have to wait for the emperor's decree." Ba Ye said.

Although there is such a rule, it still needs the emperor's decree.

Mao Tongtong didn't ask any more questions.At this time, the palace must be busy with Kangxi's funeral, and this kind of thing can't be taken care of at all.

That night, Qingzhu and the others packed their luggage, and set off for Beijing the next morning as soon as it was dawn.

The entire capital is shrouded in a sad and heavy atmosphere.Although Kangxi has now abdicated as the Supreme Emperor, he has been on the throne for a long time. He ascended the throne at a young age, to pacify the San Francisco, to take over Taiwan, to conquer Galdan, and to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. He is still a very beloved emperor.So the capital, which has always been lively, suddenly fell silent, and even the small vendors on the street closed their stalls quietly and stopped selling.

Sitting in the carriage, Mao Tongtong had the illusion that he was still walking in the countryside.

After returning to the mansion, Ba Ye changed into the court clothes and entered the palace without resting for a moment, and Mao Tongtong also changed into the palace to see Concubine Liang after the child was settled.

The palace is full of whiteness, and it looks more and more bleak in this autumn wind.Mao Tongtong looked at the servants passing by, all of them had serious expressions on their faces.

Unexpectedly, the Eternal Emperor of this time and space left so suddenly and so early.The fourth master who just came to the throne is only in his early thirties, which is a full ten years earlier than in history!
When they arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Mao Tongtong went directly to the side hall to meet Concubine Liang.

At this time, Concubine Liang had already changed into plain clothes, and only a white jade hairpin was inserted on her head, without any decorations.The eye sockets were a little red, and the person was a little haggard, obviously crying.

After saluting, Mao Tongtong didn't know how to comfort him, so he said "sorry", and then talked about the fact that Ba Ye would also enter the palace.

"Master Belle is worried about the empress, and asked the concubine to accompany the empress to talk."

"He himself has been working hard these days, and he still worries about what I do." Concubine Liang smiled wryly, and said, "I'm fine. The Supreme Emperor has been in poor health for the past year, and this day will happen sooner or later."

"Your Majesty, it's good that you understand in your heart. It's inevitable to be sad, and you still have to pay attention to your body." Mao Tongtong said.

Concubine Liang nodded and said: "The weather is getting colder, take good care of Eighth Brother. He didn't have a good rest after returning from Beijing for three months. I thought I could take a ten-day vacation to take care of myself, but in the end I had to come back to observe my filial piety." , don't let him lose his body."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this concubine will definitely take good care of Lord Baylor." Mao Tongtong assured.

After coming out of the palace, Mao Tongtong realized one thing, the ancients had very strict rules on keeping filial piety.Not only in terms of clothing, eating and having fun, there are even rules for husband and wife's intercourse.In the next three years, it might really be a bit harder.

This year, not only the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was cancelled, but even the Gold Award Festival and New Year's Eve in the palace seemed deserted, without the excitement of the past.After the new emperor ascended the throne, there were courtiers who were planning to propose a draft, but now they can only be shelved.

It wasn't until the spring of the next year that the dull atmosphere in the palace improved a bit, and the Prince of Zhijun, who was lifted after Kangxi's death, proposed to the fourth master to take Concubine Hui out of the palace!
There were quite a few concubines in the Kangxi Dynasty, much larger than the harem of the fourth master.If these concubines had been living in the palace, the palace would really be crowded when fourth master started the draft.If I could live with my son out of the palace, not only would I be able to make room in the palace, but I would also be able to enjoy family happiness!
With the beginning of Zhijun Wang, the third, fifth and eighth masters all played together.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, add another chapter.
