Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 279 The Same
In the capital, because they knew the news of the Queen Mother's death, the people temporarily replaced the bright colors of their homes with plain ones.

A man walked out of a house, led a horse, and walked towards the outside of the capital.

In the palace, the emperor knelt in the Lotus Hall together with all the concubines.

The concubines in the harem are usually pampered, and it's okay to kneel for a while, but after a long time, each of them can't help but look sad.

Emperor Chen is fine, he is a man after all, and he practices martial arts every day, so for him, kneeling here is not a big problem.

After kneeling for a while, Su Qingning was also a little tired. She looked at Lu Zhaoyi at the side, and saw that she was frowning slightly, obviously tired too.

In the main hall, some concubines quietly knelt and sat down, because they were covered by their dresses, so it was not obvious. Doing so could relieve the pain in their knees.

Princess Mingyu's body was also shaking slightly. She had been married for several years. When she was at home in the past, because of her status, she never knelt down at all. It's normal that she couldn't support herself now.

The Emperor Chen looked at Su Qingning, seeing the tiredness on her face, the Emperor Chen couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

But the rules are like this, even if it hurts, he can only watch her kneeling here, the emperor thought about it, and shortened the time of stopping the spirit.

Kneeling like this until the evening, after the emperor thought about it, he ordered people to prepare food in the pavilion near the Lotus Hall, so that the concubines could eat and rest for a while.

As soon as the emperor's words fell, the concubines in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. If they were allowed to kneel like this, they would faint one by one in a short time.

Quickly got up, the concubines left the Lotus Hall, supported each other, and walked towards the next hall.

"Ningning, you and Lu Zhaoyi, go eat something and take a break." Before Su Qingning and Lu Zhaoyi left, the emperor looked at Su Qingning and spoke with concern.

"Concubine Su, why don't you go to rest with me." Princess Mingyu stood up, her legs had long since lost feeling, at this moment, if it wasn't for the support of the palace servants, she would not be able to stand up at all .

After talking with Emperor Chen, the bit of resentment in her heart has disappeared. She knows that the emperor loves Su Qingning, so she greets her specially.

"Thank you princess for your kindness. Please go ahead, princess. I still have some things to do." Looking at Princess Mingyu and nodding slightly at her, Su Qingning responded in a gentle tone.

She said so, Princess Mingyu didn't force her, she nodded and helped the palace servants to leave.

"Sister Lu, go and rest for a while." When Princess Mingyu left, Su Qingning turned to look at Lu Zhaoyi.

"What about you?" Seeing that Su Qingning didn't intend to get up, Lu Zhaoyi asked with concern.

"I want to go back to Yuxiu Palace." During the day, something happened in Yuxiu Palace, if the Queen Mother hadn't passed away, she would never have left Yuxiu Palace.

At this time, she wanted to be with her two children more.

"Well, I'll go over there to have a rest and eat something. After you return to the palace, you can also rest for a while." Responding, Lu Zhaoyi supported the palace man's hand, stood up, and limped towards the outside of the palace. go.

"Your Majesty, go and use some things too. The Empress Dowager passed away, and she needs to stop for a few days, and you still have to deal with court affairs." After Lu Zhaoyi left, Su Qingning looked at the Emperor.

"I'm fine, but you, kneeling for so long, I'm afraid your knees are going to swell." He waved his hand, although all the concubines in the hall had left, the number of kneeling in the hall did not decrease.

The masters left, and their own servants took their place, helping them to continue kneeling.

"I'll accompany you to go back and have a look." Standing up, Emperor Chen raised Su Qingning up from the ground with a little effort, and the two of them walked towards the outside of the hall together.

Not long after the two got up, the palace servant came to the position where the two had just kneeled, and knelt down again.

After leaving the Lotus Hall, the two of them walked outside. Most of Su Qingning's body was leaning on the emperor. She was indeed very tired.

"I'm thinking about shortening the days of inactivity." As it's hot today, the corpse can't be stored for too long.

In addition, kneeling like this is indeed very hard. The queen mother has already gone, and the kneeling spirit is just a formality, and it doesn't have much effect.

"Before this concubine wanted to discuss with the emperor to shorten the time of her coercion. I didn't expect the emperor to think the same way."

The emperor didn't tell Su Qingning that he wanted to shorten the time of the dead body, mainly for Su Qingning's sake. It was too hard to see her kneeling there.

Furthermore, since the children are still young, Su Qingning will definitely not be able to see the children all day when she comes to kneel to the spirit. What happened in Yuxiu Palace before, at this time, as a mother, she should be by the children's side .

"Then let's do this. After a while, I will ask Zhou Chengren to call the chief supervisor of Qin Tianjian to Yuxiu Palace, and I will give him a few words."

This kind of thing, said by Qin Tianjian, is more convincing, and the emperor has already thought about everything.

All the way back to Yuxiu Palace, at this moment, the two children were falling asleep, Su Qingning and Emperor Chen looked at the children, and then returned to the main hall.

"Master, don't worry, the old slave found out the clothes of the previous two wet nurses and asked the new wet nurses to change them. The two young masters are smart, but when they see the familiar clothes, there will be less resistance."

"The new wet nurse, the old slave has been watching, there will be no problem, just don't worry."

At this moment, it was Hong Jin guarding the side hall, accompanying the two wet nurses. Madam Chen ordered the palace servants to bring up the food she specially prepared.

"Kneeling for a long time, I'm afraid the emperor and the master are hungry? The old slave specially asked the small kitchen to prepare it. You two should eat some."

The food was placed on the table, Mother Chen spoke, Su Qingning responded, and ate the food on the table with Emperor Chen.

"Before in the side hall, the old slave specially prepared something for the master. When I leave later, the master will take it with me."

Mother Chen knew that after the Queen Mother passed away, her master would kneel down in the Lotus Hall.

On weekdays, the master can be regarded as pampered and pampered. With her current status, she doesn't need to kneel to anyone at all. It must be very hard to kneel down in the Lotus Palace.

So, she deliberately found something, and improvised two pairs of knee pads that could be wrapped around her knees.

Although it was a bit hot, it was better than kneeling with nothing.

"Does the emperor want a pair too?" After talking to Su Qingning, Nanny Chen looked at Emperor Chen and spoke cautiously.

"I appreciate Mammy's kindness, so give it to your master." Hearing Mammy Chen asking himself, Emperor Chen raised his head and looked at her with a very gentle tone.

Looking at the face that was very similar to her own sister, Madam Chen was in a daze for a while.
