The death knell sounded, and the death of the Emperor Taishang caused the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty to fall into mourning, and the entire capital was covered in veil. In the Xuanyuan Empire, it is strictly forbidden to marry, marry, dance, etc. within a year. Officials and wives of high rank must enter the palace to mourn for the Supreme Emperor.
Xuanyuan Zhaoshen didn't reign for a long time, but during his reign, the prince made many expeditions to the barbarians. Although the prince finally destroyed the barbarians, he couldn't do without Xuanyuan Zhaoshen's support. In addition, he also eliminated the external relative of the Xue family, dealt with corrupt officials, and made the court clear. He even adopted the prince's advice, built embankments along the Luo River, and dug a canal, so that the people could no longer suffer from the peach blossom flood. In short, in the Xuanyuan Empire under his rule, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and they are deeply loved by the people.
Xuanyuan Hancheng has been guarding the spirit in the Zinc Palace for the past three days, and his expression is a little haggard. Since his rebirth, he has once again experienced the death of his father. Although he tried his best to avoid it in this life, he was still unable to return to heaven in many things, and Xuanyuan Hancheng was a little frustrated.
Lin Jiabao came in with the ginseng tea and knelt beside him. Xianggong hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and he was very worried about his body. "Master, drink some ginseng tea."
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Gubao's worried eyes, took a sip of the ginseng tea, and asked, "How is the situation at the mother's place?"
"The imperial doctor just asked for the pulse, and the mother is much better. The mother and I are also very worried about you." Lin Jiabao replied.
Since the death of the Emperor Taishang, the Empress Dowager has fallen ill with great grief. Xuanyuan Hancheng was very worried that in the previous life, the mother and the queen died of illness after the death of the father and the younger brother, unable to withstand the huge blow.
But fortunately, the younger brother is safe and sound, and the mother has a good grandson, Dun Dun. Xuanyuan Hancheng believes that the mother will cheer up.
"On the Queen Mother's side, baby, stay with her more." Xuanyuan Hancheng touched the cheek of the baby, "Xianggong will pay attention to your body, and you should also take good care of yourself, baby."
"No." He will take good care of his body for the sake of Xianggong and Dundun.
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at the good treasure and smiled, thinking in his heart that he was lucky to have the good treasure with him in this life. Of course, he will also take good care of himself, so that he can have a long time with the good treasure in the future.
A few days later, a solemn and solemn funeral ceremony was held. The funeral of the Emperor Taishang was co-hosted by the Ministry of Rites, the Department of Rites and the Department of Internal Affairs.
After the funeral was over, Xuanyuan Hancheng still lost a lot of weight. He couldn't eat meat and fish during the wake of the spirits. Although he reluctantly used some soup, he really had no appetite. They felt bad for Lin Jiabao and the Empress Dowager, and the ministers also persuaded the emperor to take care of the dragon's body when they saw it.
Although Xuanyuan Hanqi was not as thin as Xiang Huangxiong, his eyes were bloodshot and his will was depressed. Back at Prince Yi's Mansion, Wen Wenqian pulled Xuanyuan Hanqi to sit and rest, and comforted him gently.
Xuanyuan Hanqi watched his wife comfort him softly, took her hand, and said to her, "You have worked hard too." He knew that his mother had been ill these days, and Wen Wenqian went to treat her every day. People are also lighter.
"It's not hard to be a concubine, it's enough for a concubine to have the words of the prince." Wen Wenqian looked at him affectionately. Although Xuanyuan Hanqi was not as handsome as the emperor, he was very sturdy and had the roughness of a man.
Wen Wenqian snuggled into Xuanyuan Hanqi's arms, reached into his undershirt with one hand, and stroked his back. Xuanyuan Hanqi grabbed her messy hand and pushed her away.
"What are you doing, you are still in the period of filial piety! Don't fool around!" Xuanyuan Han said solemnly with a stern face.
Wen Wenqian was pushed away unexpectedly, fell to the ground, and cried a little aggrieved: "My lord..."
"During my filial piety, I went to the study to sleep..." Xuanyuan Han walked out without looking back.
When Qi'er saw King Yi leaving, he entered the house and found Wen Wenqian sitting on the ground. "Princess, why are you sitting on the ground? Wangye didn't seem very happy when he left."
Wen Wenqian was supported by Qi'er and looked unhappy. She just saw that the atmosphere was very good, and she forgot about her love for a while, but she forgot that she was not allowed to have sex during her filial piety. King Yi had to keep filial piety for a year, and they couldn't do Zhou Gong's rituals for a year, which meant that she wouldn't be able to conceive a child within a year.
Wen Wenqian thought about the scene before the Emperor Taishang died, and made it clear that he wanted the Emperor to make the First Prince the Crown Prince. Wen Wenqian looked a little anxious, why didn't God help her! Obviously, the emperor is ready to adopt her child to inherit the throne, as long as she has a son as soon as possible. She is the most noble woman in the world in the future! Lin Jiabao is obviously a twin but gave birth to a healthy prince safely! how can! how can!
"I heard that An'er is sick, is it better?" After Wen Wenqian entered the palace to greet the empress dowager, she met Yu Concubine again, and the two went to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.
"Princess Xie Yi misses, An'er just caught a cold, and it's much better." An'er caught a cold when she came back from the mourning hall. Because it's almost July, the weather is slowly starting to heat. Because he was worried that the Emperor Taishang's body would rot, he used a lot of ice cubes in the mourning hall. An'er was already weak and fell ill when she came back.
Concubine Yu was very moved to see Princess Yi's concern for her daughter. She is just an unfavored concubine, and Princess Yi's status is far above her, but she often listens to her complaints and comforts her.
"The weather is hot, although ice is a good thing to relieve the heat. But the child is still small and weak. Concubine Yu must pay attention to taking care of the child, and remember not to be greedy for the cold, otherwise the child will suffer, and you will also have to worry about it. , and will cause the emperor to blame." Wen Wenqian said to Yu Concubine earnestly.
"No. Princess Yi, you are really thoughtful. Thank you Princess Yi for reminding me. But I'm just a little concubine. I have a limited share of ice, so I don't want to use more ice." After speaking, Yu Concubine said again. sour words. "If you want to say that Huangguijun is definitely not short of ice, now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has some good things, not to send them to Pingle Garden."
"Oh... Then I'm going to mention it to Huang Guijun tomorrow. The little prince is just over two months old, and he hasn't passed a hundred days. But he can't catch a cold." Wen Wenqian said with a light smile.
"Princess Yi, you are kind-hearted. There are so many people around the little prince to take care of you, so you don't need to worry." Yu Concubine said jealously.
"Speaking of this ice, I was thinking of an old story I heard about an old family." Wen Wenqian pretended to think of something inadvertently, and was satisfied to see Yu Concubine's curious appearance, and continued to lower her voice: "I heard that It is to put borneol quietly into the baby's swaddling or the position on the belly button of the child's underwear. How can the baby bear it in those few months, he will definitely catch cold and diarrhea, and if he is weak, he will die. And after the incident, the ice flakes melted into water, which was completely unknowing, even if I found it, I thought it was just sweaty."
Wen Wenqian looked at Concubine Yu's thoughtful expression, and added, "I also thought of this before I was reminded of the use of ice."
"Princess Yi said yes!" Yu Concubine hadn't recovered from what Princess Yi told her.
After that, Wen Wenqian also said a few words to Concubine Yu, and then left the palace and returned to the mansion. After Yu Concubine went back, Princess Yi and the secrets she said kept echoing in her mind. If Huang Guijun's children are gone, will he fall to the bottom of the valley, will the emperor be disappointed and disgusted with him, and then favor the harem again. Will she have any hope of regaining the emperor's favor...
Once evil thoughts sprout, they can't be controlled...
The 100-day banquet at Dundun in July was not a big one, but a simple family banquet. Today's family banquet was only attended by the Queen Mother, Xuanyuan Hancheng, Lin Jiabao, Wang Yi and his wife, Xuanyuan Hancheng's three concubines, the Song and Yu families, and several high-ranking concubines.
There was no singing and dancing at the banquet, and the dishes at the banquet were also simple and delicate. Lin Jiabao originally thought that Dundun's 100-day banquet would not be held, but Xuanyuanhan thought that his mother's mood had been sluggish, so it would be better for her to divert her attention.
At the banquet, all the female relatives surrounded Dundun and teased him, and Dundun's laughter came, dispelling the haze of the past few days. When the banquet was halfway through, Dundun was also tired from playing and slept soundly in his little bed.
Concubine Yu seemed to like Dundun very much today, and she dragged Concubine Song and the others around Dundun's bed, and kept praising Dundun.
When the banquet was over, the concubines all retired. Concubine Song was also preparing to retire. She always felt that Yu Shi was a little strange today. Although she pretended to be normal, if others might not find out, she had lived in the same yard with Yu Qin for so many years. Today, Yu's too many words and actions showed her nervousness, which made her have a bad premonition. She should stay away from her, and it would be better to go back earlier.
When Yu Concubine saw the Song family leaving, she had to leave the little prince's bed with some unwillingness, preparing to retire to the empress dowager and the emperor.
Today, for some unknown reason, Lin Jiabao has been dragged by Wen Wenqian to speak. Today, Wen Wenqian's attitude is very warm and cordial, and she congratulates him on the show that he has embroidered by himself. Lin Jiabao couldn't refuse even if he reached out his hand and didn't hit the smiling face.
The last time Princess Yi said something about Qiqi in front of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was displeased. After that, the Empress Dowager was a little lukewarm towards Princess Yi. Lin Jiabao thought that Princess Yi was trying to please him, so that he could say good things for her in front of the empress dowager.
Lin Jiabao still told Xuanyuan Hancheng about that incident. He never concealed anything from his husband, and Xuanyuan Han didn't say anything after hearing it. But he actually already knew it, and he also learned from the dark guard that Wen Wenqian and Yu's frequent exchanges. After all, Bao Bao is a pair of children, and Wen Wenqian has nothing to do with Yu, who is also a woman. At present, it is indeed normal. Anyway, beside Gubao and Dundun. With multiple layers of protection, both bright and dark, Xuanyuan Han has the confidence not to let his darling and son be harmed.
But if Wen Wenqian or the Yu family wanted to do something wrong, they would be looking for a dead end. Xuanyuan Hancheng hoped that Wen Wenqian would not disappoint him, and hoped that there would not be such a day, Wen Wenqian was his brother's wife after all. Xuanyuan Han inherited his own happiness, and of course hoped that his younger brother would be happy in this life.
The Empress Dowager sat on the top, Xuanyuan Hancheng stood beside Gubao, accepting everyone's kneeling.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Hancheng suddenly noticed something strange about the maid next to Yu shi, and saw that her body was trembling, and the sleeve of her left hand was also a little unusual.
"You stand up for me!" Xuanyuan Hancheng said in a deep voice, pointing to the palace maid behind Yu's.
