In fact, nothing much was done about Li Wei's haircut ceremony. When she entered the palace in February when she was fourteen years old, Empress Li passed away at the end of August of the same year. The mourning period had not expired on her birthday the next year, so there was not much to do about the hairpin ceremony. At that time, she was a good concubine and Fu Guang's adoptive mother. The concubines in the palace and even the Queen Mother also gave her birthday gifts. The princess and princess also sent things in. The round box from the Prince Regent also came in with those gifts.
If Lan Hui hadn't told her, she would never have known that this necklace was a gift from the regent.
Li Wei stared at it blankly for a while and then put the necklace into the box. Now that she is a widow, she is afraid that she will never have the opportunity to wear such a gorgeous thing in her life.
The rain was still pouring down, and the chamberlain sent to Hanyuan Palace to deliver the message had returned. He replied to Li Wei through the curtain. Li Wei nodded after hearing this and said, "I understand. The emperor has not suffered any grievances from the regent today." Bar?"
The chamberlain was stunned for a moment before saying, "The Queen Mother is overly worried. The Regent did not embarrass the Emperor."
"Okay, you can leave now."
The long night, without any entertainment. Thinking that she was originally an ancient Xinzi who had lived in that era for more than ten years and had already disliked her very much when she came back. She felt uncomfortable even with someone as noble as the Queen Mother. I couldn't leave the palace, and I didn't have any entertainment. Not to mention the TV, there wasn't even a radio or a newspaper. It was really boring.
The palace maid came in with hot water and wanted to help her wash herself before she went to sleep. She now liked to do these simple tasks by herself, and it was uncomfortable for others to take care of her. She let her hair down, changed into soft silk pajamas, and lay down on the large bed.
The waiter removed the lamp and there was silence. There was only the sound of rain falling on the glazed tiles, making a crisp sound. This noise made people a little upset.
There was the pleasant smell of ambergris on the quilt. She sniffed the faint aroma, but her heart crazily missed her relatives from that era. I miss Li Minghua and his wife, her elder brother and sister-in-law, my lovely niece Yinyin, Hu Meijuan and Qiu Ci, and even the audience in front of the TV station.
She still has one episode of the show that she hasn't recorded yet, and now she can't go back. What should she do
She couldn't sleep, and someone was talking vaguely outside. She tried her best to suppress the sound, but the sound still came in through the rain.
Li Wei sat up, raised the curtain and asked, "What happened?"
Qingxiang walked in, bent down, lowered her head and said, "My dearest lady, Sister Wansu hanged herself."
"Hanged herself? Did she go to hang herself?" Li Wei suddenly lost all sleepiness and sat up.
Qingxiang said cautiously: "Yes, Xiao Fu'er came over just now to talk about this. Please forgive me for disturbing your rest." Qingxiang said and knelt down.
He would actually seek death! This was something Li Wei never expected. Was she the one who forced Wan Su to this point
She has lived more than ten years longer than others, has seen a lot of the world, and experienced many things, but this little thing can't move her.
Li Wei was silent for a moment, and then said: "Call Grandma Jin over."
Immediately he went to deliver the message, and soon Grandma Jin was waiting below. Li Wei told her: "Go to Hanyuan Hall now to appease the emperor."
Aunt Jin agreed and went. Li Wei only felt that this matter was strange. Before, she thought that Wan Su was a dangerous factor and wanted to get rid of the dangerous factors as soon as possible. However, she just wanted Wan Su to leave the palace and said that Wan Su should be allowed to leave the palace. He went back decently, and it was his own choice to get married in the future. He was also rewarded with a bunch of things. How long had passed but that girl was able to run away to seek death. Isn't this a slap in her face
What's weird about this. Wan Su's death may be able to tear a hole in the current conspiracy. A thorough investigation must be carried out, from Wan Su's family to everyone in the palace who has had contact with Wan Su. This time is just an opportunity.
Li Wei said to Qingxiang: "Has the doctor confirmed that he is dead?"
Qingxiang said: "Yes, Xiao Fu'er said that by the time people found out, he was already out of breath."
Li Wei sighed: "Why is this girl so stubborn? She has been with me for ten years since she was a child. She has always been loyal. I pity her, gave her grace, and let her leave the palace. Who would have expected that she would be like this?" Come on. Qingxiang, help me pass on the message and ask Luo Chongming to come see me early in the morning."
Haruka agreed and went to deliver the message.
Li Wei thought of Shujia and was worried that the little girl would be affected, so he had someone bring Shujia over. Li Wei asked the little girl to sleep next to her. Shujia still doesn't know what happened, but she likes to sleep next to her mother.
Without waiting for the palace maid to come to help, he took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. Li Wei let the little girl sleep inside and did not let anyone put out the lights immediately. After putting down the tent, there was still a faint light in the tent. Shujia leaned into Li Wei's arms and said with a smile: "Mother, this place is so fragrant and warm."
"My dear, my mother is with you. You have a good sleep and don't have to worry about anything." Li Wei spoke softly and patted Shujia's back. After a while, Shujia fell into a deep sleep. Li Wei looked at the little girl sleeping and looked very much like Yin Yin. She lowered her head and kissed the little girl's cheek gently.
The wind and rain continued outside, and Li Wei looked at the tent roof, mentally sorting out the path to take and the things to do.
Here she is the Queen Mother and has certain rights. There are not so many obstacles to accomplishing something. Now that you are back, you should live well. The late emperor entrusted the young emperor to her, and the eldest sister's instructions on her deathbed were that she must protect Fu Guang well and fulfill her duties as a queen mother.
Li Wei probably woke up after less than two shifts. Shujia was still sleeping, but Li Wei didn't wake her up.
After breakfast, the other concubines of the late emperor came in to pay their respects to Li Wei, who received them in the main hall.
As soon as everyone sat down, the concubine who took the lead spoke up: "I heard that a palace maid in Chongqing Palace hanged herself. How could such a thing happen? The late emperor left not long ago. How can people outside talk about us? Royal.”
The concubine Jinggui's sinister tone made Li Wei feel uncomfortable. She said calmly: "This matter cannot be spread outside the palace."
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Qi followed up: "I heard that Wan Su died. Wan Su was an old man in front of you, Queen Mother. You, Queen Mother, have always been considerate of your servants. How could you do such a thing?"
Li Wei still spoke calmly: "Wansu is my first-class palace maid, and she has always been loyal. She was buried here for the late emperor, and I will take good care of her funeral."
The concubines sitting below stared at Li Wei in surprise. He obviously hanged himself, so how could he be buried as a sacrifice to the late emperor? But the Queen Mother had already said so, so how could anyone else dare to raise objections.
Concubine Qi quickly understood and said: "Wan Su is loyal and righteous, so she should take good care of her family."
After driving away the group of widows, Li Wei called the guard Luo Chong and told him: "Go and find out who Wan Su had contact with before his death. Call one more person and tell him everything they said. Write down everything you say, and I’ll look at the transcript later.”
Luo Chong agreed and went to handle it.
