Solitary pet

Chapter 237

After entering the palace, first go to the Fengtian Hall, where the saint is dressed in a heavenly suit and accepts everyone's kneeling.

Then, a young eunuch led the maiden to the queen's palace.

Throughout the year, the most prestigious time for the empress is to bow down during the Chinese New Year.

The first round is the kneeling ceremony of concubines in the harem.Then there is the wife of the clan.

Generally speaking, after the concubines in the harem bow down, they will leave first. This year, the sage made a decree, ordering the concubine De to take care of the age with the queen. Therefore, after the concubines retired, the concubine De did not leave immediately, but stayed down.

When He Sheng entered the palace, he was very happy to see Concubine De.Due to etiquette, he couldn't come forward to talk to him, and he had to kneel and salute as soon as he entered the hall.

Concubine De winked at her, signaling her to relax.

The queen saw the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law flirting with each other, and they seemed to have such a good relationship, so she didn't get angry at each other.

Isn't it because she is afraid that she, the concubine of Pingling Wang, who is the queen, will vent her anger? She doesn't care about it.

Recently, the sage's attitude towards the prince has become more and more indifferent, and the queen dare not act rashly. After all, she is the only support for the prince in the harem. If she is found wrong now, she will definitely be used as a fuss.

So looking at He Sheng, no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it.

When the crown prince becomes a great treasure in the future, let's see how she crushes the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to death.

The eunuch shouted: "Kneel—"

He Sheng and all the wives knelt down together.

Just kneeling down, I didn't get the cold and hard feeling I imagined.Something soft and warm was touched on the knee, and something seemed to be sewn into the futon.

Kneeling on such a warm and soft cushion, not to mention kneeling for a quarter of an hour, even half an hour is not a problem.

Of course, it is best not to kneel.

He Sheng subconsciously looked at Concubine De, who nodded at her.

He Sheng immediately understood that his mother-in-law must have taken care of it.

My heart warmed, thinking that I must thank my mother-in-law later.

The other wives were not treated like this. After kneeling for a few minutes, their faces turned gray.Everyone is pampered and pampered, how can they suffer from such a crime, finally kneeling for a quarter of an hour, gnashing their teeth, no one feels relaxed.

At this time, he began to slander his ancestors.It's not a maid who makes people kneel on the first day of the new year. Could it be that the longer you kneel, the more sincere your heart will be?
Except for He Sheng who was kneeling with a relaxed face, there were others who didn't think so.The crown princess clasped her hands together and continued to kneel with a face full of sincerity, wishing she could break her knees to show her expectation and sincerity for the New Year.

Others knelt like a second like the sun, wishing that the time would pass quickly.No, the crown princess, although she knelt in front of the queen, she didn't feel that she was kneeling for the queen. In the future, she would also accept everyone's kneeling in the queen's seat, so she was kneeling for her own future.

While kneeling, she would silently recite her New Year's wishes in her heart. She felt that there were gods in this hall, and they would definitely appear at the beginning of the new year. She had to recite her wishes several times so that the gods could hear them.

The wish she made a few years ago was to have a prosperous family and healthy parents.As long as the natal family is strong, the prince will favor her even more.

She changed her wish this year, she hesitated a few times, and unconsciously came up with an evil idea in her heart: let Chen An die earlier.

This idea was almost logical, and it took root in my mind at once, and I couldn't get rid of it.The crown princess was shocked by her own thoughts, and she was promoted to be the main concubine of the Eastern Palace, the future mother of the country, how could she make such a vicious wish?
After panicking for a moment, she quickly calmed down.

It was all Chen An's fault. If he hadn't been clinging to and bewitching the prince every day, how could she have such vicious thoughts?
Yes, he did it.

At the same time, she felt lucky. Fortunately, Chen An was a man. If she were a woman, she might really compete with her for favor.

After everyone left, the queen came to help her, "Get up, no one will see you." She also wanted to be like Concubine De, to have the loving kindness of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The princess refused straight away, "Thank you mother for your empathy, but the etiquette passed down from the ancestors cannot be less."

The queen frowned. It was rare for her to stop people from kneeling when she spoke. This daughter-in-law knelt down with a satisfied face. What's wrong?
Forget it, let her kneel if she loves to kneel.

The princess was kneeling, and the queen had no choice but to continue to sit upright on the high chair on top.

The queen thought of her grandson, and asked, "Why didn't Xuan'er enter the palace?" She hadn't seen that chubby man for a long time, but she really missed him.The son is useless, but fortunately there is a grandson who can count on.

The Crown Princess was not in a hurry to answer, and said: "The etiquette is now, please forgive me for not being able to reply in time."

The queen was shut out, wanting to get angry but couldn't find a reason.

Looking left and right, the princess didn't look like she was deliberately finding fault, and she was always the one who put discipline and etiquette first, so the queen had no choice but to endure it and let herself go.

After kneeling, the princess kowtowed three more times.The queen sat on it and received her gift, but she didn't feel very comfortable, on the contrary, she was not at ease.

Always feel that I seem to be regarded as a substitute for something?

The queen thought of the golden Buddha in the temple, and felt more and more that the princess's posture was worshiping dead objects rather than people.

The Crown Princess stood up, put her hands on her abdomen, and replied respectfully: "Xuan'er has caught the cold, so he should not enter the palace."

Only then did the queen recall that someone from the East Palace did come to inform her that Xuan'er was ill. She thought it was a minor illness, so she didn't take it to heart. "Why is it still not cured? Do all the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital eat plain rice? Even a small wind and cold can't be cured?"

The princess continued: "It was already well, but the day before yesterday I picked up a shawl and went for a walk in the wind, and when I came back I fell ill again."

The queen was furious, "Where are the servants in the palace? Are all of them dead!"

The Crown Princess lowered her head and said: "The concubine has already been punished. They were not dead before, but now they are all dead."
