Chapter 516 Empress Dowager's admonment, Qin Fei's funeral
Although Qin Fei was ignorant, she had never been extremely guilty. When she went home and cried in front of the elders, she did not confess her treachery that she used to slander the imperial concubine through the death of the Li family. She was nothing more than saying that although she had the responsibility of "not strict under the imperial court", she had admitted her mistake. The fourth prince sent her back to her mother's house without asking indiscriminately. He underestimated her Hehe's mansion and wanted to " Spoil your wife and destroy your wife.
This is useless in front of her father, but the old lady is deeply convinced.
At this time, Qin Fei finally waited for her grandmother to question her. She couldn't help crying, knelt in front of the empress dowager, and cried those words again.
Mrs. Qin also stood up and saluted deeply: "My concubine has something to say. I hope the empress dowager can report it."
"Madam, speak freely." Although the Empress Dowager was upset by Concubine Qin, she still looked calm and gave the princess of the previous dynasty the respect she deserved. She did not accuse Concubine Qin of forcibly arguing in front of her, which was actually a shrew in the market.
The death of the Li family is by no means simple, but this concubine was given by the fourth prince. The rumors also came from the fourth prince's mansion. The empress dowager only dealt with two maidservants and ordered Xiao Xie and Huang Jiangyue to say that they were peaceful. Before they had figured out how to beat Qin, the fourth prince had been better to do it first, which was also convincing. The Empress Dowager thought that it was a warning to let Concubine Qin stay in her mother's house for a period of meditation, and she did not intend to condemn Concubine Qin again.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Qin took Mrs. Qin into the palace, and now she was crying and splashing. What's the matter? Is it possible to force the royal family to apologize to her, criminalize the third prince, and return her innocence?
stubborn and ignorant, and don't think about why the fourth prince and the Li family are willing to suffer this dumb loss even if Li did not die of violent illness.
Lao Si has not stopped during this period. The Qin family and the Chen family are scheMING. How can the Empress Dowager not know what he is? The cold-eyed observation is nothing more than thinking that the fourth prince is delusional, that is to say, how can the wife he married be able to control the six palaces and the mother of the world in the future? If there is such an empress, he will not let hundreds of officials and people laugh. Thanks to the Qin family, they still want to rely on Concubine Qin one day.
But the empress dowager was also worried. The emperor suppressed the crown princess for a long time. Instead, she made the daughter of the fourth prince as a princess. Even the eldest granddaughter was too much. No wonder it attracted people's hearts.
Before the full moon of Longqing, some people wanted to splash "sewage" on the third prince, which was nothing more than to weaken the prince's momentum.
In fact, the Empress Dowager also thought of it. How could it be that several smart people wanted to revenge on the imperial concubine through Li's death. Whether it was the third prince or the fourth prince, this time it was a gun.
The Empress Dowager still gave Mrs. Qin to sit and talk before she "admonished" Qin: "Even if the daughter-in-law is wronged in her heart, she should still talk well. On a cold day, she cried carefully and broke her eyes."
How could Mrs. Qin not hear that this was the empress dowager accusing Qin of losing her demeanor? She sneered in her heart, and her voice was a little stiff: "Originally, it was also a matter of the third prince's mansion. The third prince did not marry the imperial concubine, and the two side concubines were unreasonable to restrain their concubines, so they made rumors. Although Ayi had some mistakes, The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager taught her how to restrain her servants and maidservants. Because of the punishment, the Fourth Highness inevitably felt some resentment. It was too much to blame Ayi. It was too much to only send people back to Ning. Ayi was married by the emperor. How could the princess who was being married by the famous matchmaker be humiliated because of some slight negligence?
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows slightly: "Madam's words are biased. What's the matter if Sanlang doesn't have a concubine? It has nothing to do with whether there is a concubine or not, but it is just a maid of Silang's daughter-in-law's daughter-law's private discussion. The defilement of the royal family has been heard. If it hadn't been suppressed in time, when it hadn't been opened up, the outsiders said that it was the princes' sibling wall. Originally, it could not be covered by the word 'negance'. The mourning family also scolded the queen for this. The Qin family was her daughter-in-law. I often love to be petty, and my words and deeds are out of everyone's boudoir. The queen is the right to discipline, so as not to laugh generously in the future and make people complain about my royal daughter-in-law's demeanor.
The Empress Dowager was obviously alluded by Mrs. Qin that it was the third prince's wrong. She looked calm, but her words were no longer whitewashed by Concubine Qin, let alone Mrs. Qin's retort, and continued to say, "Qin does not think about herself, but for a moment of grievance, regardless of his wife's illness, crying and disturbing is not suitable for everyone's style? There are also descendants in the mourning family. They know that it is inevitable to feel sorry for their granddaughter as an elder, so they have repeatedly understood their wife, but for some reasons, the wife should also be clear.
"To be honest, the queen also wanted to edict Qin's entry into the palace to give a lecture. Unexpectedly, Silang first let her return to Ning to serve the disease. Filial piety was the first, and the matter of the instruction was not mentioned again. Unexpectedly, the wife listened to the Qin family's words and thought that the royal family was unfair... Silang's daughter-in-law, let me ask you, isn't you worried because of the old lady's illness? I'm deeply ashamed of being raised by the old lady and can't do filial piety?
Concubine Qin choked in her throat.
Mrs. Qin also turned red, showing more and more makeup, but her lips were not white and there was any blood color. Obviously, she was blocked by the reprimand words of the Empress Dowager. She refused to admit that her granddaughter, who had painstakingly cultivated was actually a loss of virtue.
The Empress Dowager sighed: "If the daughter-in-law thinks that serving at home is aggrieved and resentful, your grandmother will not blame her, and her family can understand it, so she will allow you to go back to the fourth prince's mansion. Later, you can go to Kunren Palace to order the queen to lecture, and then go out of the palace and return to the house."
If her aunt looked down and suppressed her smile - the Empress Dowager won a complete victory, how could Concubine Qin return to the Fourth Prince's Mansion like this? She was not guilty of unfiliality, and it would be ridiculed even more by people - the fourth prince deliberately sent her back to the Qin family to serve the disease. The prince's house did not send anyone to pick her up, so she cried and insisted on going back...
So Concubine Qin moved her grandmother and entered the palace with hope, looking forward to save her face, but she did not take advantage of it at all. Instead, she fell into the Empress Dowager's gentle warning and the queen's warning. She still returned to the Qin family dejectedly and became more and more disgraced.
This is not over yet.
Mrs. Qin didn't get out of her anger. She saw her granddaughter be humiliated again. On a cold day, she walked on foot in the palace again. On the way back, she fainted in the car.
However, when she entered the palace this time, Mrs. Qin was a daughter-in-law and did not dare to stop her, so she let the old lady succeed.
After learning this, Qin Xiang was furious and left a sentence "self humiliation" in front of his old wife's sick bed and left.
The old lady suffered such a setback, felt deeply ashamed and humiliated, and spit out a mouthful of black blood.
At the time of death, he still comforted Concubine Qin: "Although I don't have the ability to fight for decentness for you this time, I will be seriously ill when I come out of the palace... People will not let go of the Dalong royal family. Even if his Yu family sits in the world, he still has to follow the word etiquette! After all, I am from the clan of the former dynasty... The Yu family is a traitor... I died inexplicably, and those old ministers of Dongming will not let them go... Yier, my grandmother can only do so much for you, and you can take care of yourself in the future... Don't worry, when I die, the Fourth Highness will also attend the funeral and pick you up by the way, which is also counted..."
In February of the eighth year, the Empress Dowager passed away.
The Empress Dowager just sighed: "Although I saw her weak earlier, she was still a little energetic, but I didn't expect her to be so soon..."
Some ladies sighed a few times. No one questioned the cause of Mrs. Qin's death, and no one even mentioned her identity as the "Dongming clan".
At least the death of the old grandmother of his wife's clan, although the fourth prince did not have to mourn, at least he came to mourn.
but did not take back Concubine Qin.
Instead, she reported to the queen: "The Empress died, and Concubine Qin was very sad. She had been raised by the Empress for many years, but she couldn't fulfill her filial piety. Qin Fei asked herself to stay in the prime minister's mansion to mourn for the Empress Dowager. Although the etiquette was not match, the minister begged her mother to consider the filial piety of Qin and allowed her to live in the prime minister's mansion for a year, which was also regarded as the upbring of the Empress Dowager. "It's a favor."
The queen also sighed, praised Qin's pure filial piety, and allowed her to stay in the prime minister's mansion.
According to the grand funeral system, the married daughter joins her husband from the patriarchal clan. If the parents do not accept the decline and decline, it will be a year and will not mourn for their grandparents.
However, there are married women who have been married to mourn their grandparents for a whole time. Generally, their husbands will also allow it.
So Concubine Qin was "lost" like this.
Because of the death of her grandmother, Qin Fei was still really sad. Although she heard that she was furious about the funeral, she became more and more resentful of the fourth prince, but nothing happened.
However, except for her, no one in Hehe Mansion was sad about the death of the Empress. For example, Qin Ziruo, the girl was worried about the situation of Qin Fei. She was really lost in her mother's home for a year. Even if she was welcomed back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the future, she was afraid that she would lose the favor of the Fourth Highness and was squeezed out by the second concubine Deng and Bai.
Another thing that worries the girl is that her father is the eldest son, and her mother-in-law died of illness. After three years of mourning, she still has to worry.
That is to say, the position of Youcheng will change the owner and change it to another surname.
Of course, this is also Qin Youcheng's trouble. Even if he is estranged from the direct mother of the former dynasty, he can't violate the national law of filial piety.
He is not a military and political minister, and he does not expect a special case of "winning love".
On the contrary, Qin Xiang still saw it clearly and comforted his descendants: "Ding You has been hiding his light for three years. The position of Youcheng is dispensable. When you recover three years later, I am also the time to be an official." The implication is that when my son recovers three years later, he should inherit the phase.
He also said that Xiao Xie was really unlucky because of the storm of the "filth prince".
especially the one she wants to defile the third prince.
After knowing it, Yu Dong was so angry that he squeezed his fists muffledly and forced him to punch him without punching him.
Little Xie was scolded a lot. She knelt down and cried and her eyes were swollen. She had to resist the soreness and flatter the old princess in front of her, so as to ask the old princess for forgiveness and return the gift she took away to her. Only in this way, it was still a little different. Otherwise, looking at Yu Dong's furious appearance, she would have the heart to divorce his wife.
Before long, Xiao Xie heard the bad news again - the unimaginable father and son of the king of Chu actually pleaded for the third uncle, pardoned the sentence and released him home.
The third master immediately found someone to ask Yu Dong for money.
Yudong's own savings are still useful, attracting his subordinates, supporting the outer room and so on, and transferring this problem to Xiao Xie.
Xiao Xie had to use his own savings and continue to fill the bottomless hole of the Third Master from then on.
For good, the old princess really couldn't take care of the housework. Under the advice of the scenery, she took care of it for more than ten days before she leniented Xiao Xie and still let her work hard.
Xiao Xie took a long breath and racked his brains to make money on the use of the royal palace, and all this was carefully recorded by Shan, and he handed it over to Guan Suiyuan once in a while.
From then on, Xiao Xie has entered the hot mode - under the warning of Yu Dong, he has to please the old princess, and no longer dare to offend the scenery. He must be cautious in words and deeds, flatter, and waste all his mind to cut off money can only satisfy the third uncle's "meal and clothing". Not to mention that he can't put a copper plate into his pocket, he has to be afraid to speak. He took out the money from his bag and squandered it for the third uncle. Yu Dong became more and more cold to her. Xiao Xie was full of fire. He woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep alone. Only then did he appreciate the pain of "seeing a woman".
The life of being a mother-in-law is not easy, and she can only vent it on her daughter-in-law. Who made Xiao Xie dare not even provoke Zhiniang from now on, for fear that the old princess will be angry.
The days of Huangjiangyue are even more difficult.
Yuzhou served in Xishanwei. When he returned in five days, he came back easily. He had to go to Rongxi Hall to fulfill his filial piety. When he went out to get together with his confidants the next day and came back at night, he would not necessarily go to Jixiayuan - because the situation of the second wife was worrying, and the old princess was biased towards Zhi Niang. Yu Zhou was much more enthusiastic about her than Huang Jiangyue.
Jiang Yue is not sad about her children's private feelings, but she feels deeply ashamed.
However, Xiao Xie warned that she had to make Zhi Niang make rules.
On the contrary, she had to rush to the Lixiang Courtyard to establish rules, wait for Xiao Xie to wash and eat, listen to and take care of the housework. Xiao Xie went to Rongxi Hall to fulfill her filial piety, and Jiang Yue had to wait at the gate of the courtyard.
After serving Xiao Xie's three meals, Jiang Yue can fill her stomach with cold rice.
In contrast, the beautiful life is very noble, leisurely and pleasant. Several stewards and maids are all useful people. Although the imperial concubine is in charge of a very amazing number of industries, she only needs one or two wastes. Guan Suiyuan's trivialities can be completely relieved to be handed over to the two Mothers Xie and Yang.
All day long, she accompanied the old princess to say funny words and enjoy the garden scenery with Anran. From time to time, she was blackmailed for a table of wine and dishes by the sisters who came from the state mansion, or invited several boudoir friends to come to the house for a small meeting to care about the life events of the sisters, or got invitations handed to and from the mansion to get close to the mansion, deter the old man. The princess went to socialize together and was often free. She did not forget to cut the embroidered red to please her cabinet. When she was interested, she washed her hands to make soup. With the red and green calyx of the last season, she enjoyed the scenery with Yu Xiao or played with the piano.
Life is colorful and elegant.
However, the scenery will still take an hour to study the mansion newspaper every day, so as not to be ignorant and indulge in peace and happiness.
knew that Princess Xiliang's mission had entered the country and would arrive in Jinyang in mid-March.
