Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 718 Adopting a daughter and recruiting a younger brother, privately offering sacrifices to the dead (1)
Yaotai Pavilion, courtyard, across the white wall, Yun Wanqin looked at the back of the maid of Tongguang Palace leaving with Master Wude.Behind him, Chu Xia couldn't help but: "Master, do you think it will be useful?"

"She asked Master Wude to come over, what else can she ask?" Yun Wanqin's eyelashes flickered, she couldn't be sure about everything, but this was the only thing she could be sure of.

Before I knew it, several days passed by.

On the north side, there is still no letter.You need to see people in life, and you need to see corpses in death, but you don't see people in life, and you don't see corpses in death.

When Eunuch Nian came over, he didn't say anything more about Snow Lotus Mountain, Yun Wanqin could only ask Chu Xia to visit Shen Zhao who was on duty occasionally, and then bring the news back to Yaotai Pavilion.

Fortunately, the Shen family is a general. Although the old general is old and not in court, there are still some old friends in the court who are proficient in military affairs. Meet with Chu Xia and forward the frontline news to Yun Wanqin.

King Yisi sent people to spend three days and three nights down the Qianren cliff, and spent nearly ten days searching the bottom of the cliff. They found a small number of human and horse corpses that fell into the valley, but most of them disappeared. After all, it is too big, bottomless and wide.

But no news is considered good news. When Chu Xia sent the message, her face darkened, and Yun Wanqin was relieved.

Although the battle on the front line was tense and there were many minor battles, but the Chinese New Year was approaching, the atmosphere in the palace was finally a little more joyful than before.At dusk that day, Nanny Nie brought the nurse over and carried Little Yuanxiao over, and Yun Wanqin held her son in her arms to play.

Seeing the mother and son enjoying themselves happily, Nanny Nie said with a smile: "The beauty should also invite the emperor to give the second prince a good name." Yun Wanqin kissed her son's chubby cheek, and said: "It's too much to do things right now. Too many, the emperor is in a bad mood, so it's inconvenient to be distracted, let's talk about it after the war in the north relaxes a bit."

Although it's an extraordinary time, no matter how busy you are, you won't be too busy to take care of the prince's name.

The prince was named sooner or later, but it has been a few months since he was born and there is still no movement, which is also rare.But the emperor didn't take the initiative to mention it, and the beauty was not in a hurry, so it didn't matter.Nanny Nie pouted, and suggested: "The New Year is coming soon, take advantage of the festive days and when the emperor is happy, let the beauties pick up the name."

New Year's Eve.Thinking back to this time last year, it happened to be the day to participate in the royal family banquet, and this year's war, everything will be avoided.

On this day last year, both Emperor Xian and Empress Jiang were still...

Empress Jiang.Yun Wanqin's heart moved: "In a few days, it will be Queen Jiang's death day."

Nanny Nie was taken aback, and quickly replied: "Yes."

Last year, just a few days after the new year, Empress Jiang passed away at the Hall of Thoughts and Punishment. It stands to reason that the first anniversary of her death should be held in a grand manner, but according to the degree to which the emperor hates her, let alone a grand arrangement, until now there are even two There is no movement, I am afraid that in the name of war, I am too lazy to do it.

And there is another reason why it is impossible for the emperor to set up a death taboo for the Jiang family. There is a personal death taboo, which happens to be before the new year,—— Concubine Yuan.

In the old days, Xiahou Shi set up a tomb for his birth mother Concubine Yuan in a Buddhist temple outside the palace without telling Empress Jiang. Wanqin had heard of it, and she also remembered clearly the birthday and death date of Concubine Yuan.

After he ascended the throne, he changed the posthumous title of Concubine Yuan to Empress Dowager Xiaohui Shengzhuang Lie, and rewarded the only few distant relatives in his biological mother's family. It can be seen that he tried his best to make up for the unjust death of his biological mother.

Now, the death of the biological mother and the enemy who killed the biological mother collided, why didn't he express his anger for the biological mother?He would definitely perform sacrificial ceremonies for his biological mother, and deliberately ignore and neglect Empress Jiang's death taboo, fearing that she would not even give Empress Jiang a little incense.

Yun Wanqin was just meditating, and Chu Xia came in from outside in a hurry, with a few drops of sweat on her forehead, she just stood still and said: "Mother Nie will take the nurse out for a while."

Yun Wanqin handed Xiao Yuanxiao into the nurse's arms, and after a few people left, she asked, "What happened?"

Chu Xia whispered in her ear: "Concubine Xu Kang just went outside Qiande Palace, knelt and couldn't get up, crying and begging the emperor to return her to Princess Dingyi."

Outside the gate of Qiande Palace, a young woman in pearl hairpin brocade clothes knelt facing the tightly closed gate, wiping away tears.The servant girl stood aside, holding a lantern, occasionally stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, let's go back first..."

"Why go back! The princess has been snatched away... If I don't go back to Dingyi today, I will kneel and die in front of this door!" Concubine Xu Kang felt sore when she heard this, she beat her chest and stamped her feet.

Finally, the door opened with a "creak", and someone came out, glanced at Concubine Kang who had been kneeling on the steps for most of the time, shook her head, and walked over in a few steps.

Concubine Xu Kang rushed forward and grabbed Eunuch Nian's sleeve: "Eunuch Nian! I want to see the emperor! Just let me meet the emperor, she must be my daughter, why should she be raised at someone else's lap!"

"Hey, didn't you send someone out to tell you that the emperor has already agreed," Nian Gonggong sighed, "Why is Concubine Kang so ungrateful? The emperor has been busy in the political hall for several days, so it's rare to come back today." Earlier, when you lay down for a short rest and wanted to refresh yourself, you cried and cried outside. Do you want to make Longyan angry? Princess Dingyi just went to Tongguang Palace to live for a while, it was you Your daughter can’t run away, who has snatched your daughter? Hey, what is good to tell the old slave to say, go back quickly, and you will really annoy the emperor later, don’t blame the old slave for not reminding you in advance.”

When Concubine Xu Kang heard this, she knew that the emperor had absolutely allowed Concubine Hui to pick up Dingyi, her body softened, fortunately the palace servants around her supported her.

Seeing her in a trance, Nian Gonggong didn't say much, turned around and went up the steps into Qiande Palace.The door closed with a bang, Concubine Xu Kang was startled awake, she regained her senses, and was about to rush to knock on the door again, but the servant girl chased after her and held her back bitterly: "Your Majesty, forget it, I will come to beg after the Emperor is free in a few days. It made Longyan furious—"

After a while?Dingyi is afraid that she will really become someone else's daughter!Concubine Xu Kang didn't want to give up, she was about to knock it down, but she heard a coquettish shout from behind: "Your Majesty is eager to love your daughter, and you are impulsive, you stupid slave? The emperor will be furious if you barge into the bedroom crying! Don't stop the empress yet!"

The servant girl saw that in the night, Yun Meiren from Yaotai Pavilion brought Qi Huai'en and Chu Xia, she didn't know when she came, she was standing not far away, she suddenly came to her senses, she hugged Concubine Kang by the waist, covered her mouth, dragged down.

Chu Xia ordered the maid to carry Concubine Xu Kang to the pavilion in a secluded small garden nearby.

In the gazebo, Yun Wanqin sat beside Concubine Kang and asked Chu Xia and Qi Huaien to watch outside the pavilion so that no one would come over.

Concubine Xu Kang calmed down and wiped her face, only to realize that she almost committed a capital crime by being reckless in front of the imperial court just now, she said gratefully: "Thank you just now, Miss Yun."
