Last time, because they were in the midst of mourning, Mrs. Wang and other concubines did not enter the palace to guard the ceremony. But now that the old lady's coffin has been sent there, there is no way to make any exceptions.
Therefore, after getting the news, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing each prepared their wedding outfits. Lian Xue Baochai was given a seventh-grade imperial edict as soon as she entered the palace because she was given the royal gift to get married. Later, although Baoyu was dismissed from office, her imperial edict was not taken back. Therefore,
They are also included in the palace guarding system.
Wang Xifeng was supposed to go [Jia Lian once donated a magistrate], but she was about to give birth, and the child was conceived during the period of mourning, so she couldn't see the light of day, so she simply took a sick leave.
But it was said that Mrs. Wang was taking a break from her busy schedule and asked Li Wan to take good care of the house during the national mourning. Suddenly, she heard that an angel had been sent from the palace.
"Why did you send someone to deliver the order at this time?"
Mrs. Wang didn't know why, but Li Wan suddenly changed his color and said tremblingly: "Could it be those rumors at the beginning..."
Mrs. Wang's face turned pale when she heard this. It was originally rumored that the virtuous concubine was a nuisance to the emperor, so it was better to order her to be buried with the emperor's mausoleum to solve the problem. Now that the emperor has just died, the palace has sent angels. Could it be that...
Do you want your family to prepare for the funeral?
"Mrs?"
Seeing Mrs. Wang's lips trembling and speechless, and her body slowly slumping back, Li Wan hurriedly supported her and comforted her: "Maybe I've thought too much, and things may not have developed to this point."
Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly and shook her head. She couldn't help but flinch when the situation came to pass. She could only try to cheer up and take Li Wan to receive the order.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rushed to Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian had also arrived. Mrs.
However, Mrs. Wang had no intention of arguing with her, and stood silently at the second seat, anxiously waiting for the angel's 'sentence'.
Unexpectedly, the angel looked around and suddenly asked: "Is that the third young lady in the house, whose maiden name is Tanchun?"
Everyone was stunned and couldn't figure out what this matter had to do with Tanchun.
However, Mrs. Wang then hurriedly said: "My daughter is not here. Please wait a moment, father-in-law. I will order someone to call her here right now."
The father-in-law slightly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."
Then he shut his mouth, obviously wanting to wait for Tanchun to come over before reading out the decree.
This made everyone more and more confused. It cannot be said that Tanchun has nothing to do with the palace, it can only be said that it has nothing to do with it. Why did the palace send someone to issue an edict to her at this juncture?
Not only others were puzzled by this, but also Monk Zhanger was confused when Tanchun got the news in Qiu Shuangzhai.
But she immediately packed it up, took the servant's letter, and rushed to Rongxi Hall.
After walking into the hall, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stretched out her hand to call, and faced the father-in-law and said: "This is the little girl Tanchun."
The father-in-law looked at Tanchun carefully, and immediately assumed the posture of reading out the imperial edict.
Mrs.
When everyone in the hall fell to their knees, the eunuch announced the empress's edict in a high and steady tone, which basically meant that the wives of the Xuanrong Palace had entered the palace to guard the palace. At the end, he added a separate sentence, specifically ordering Jia Tanchun to follow her.
It is a common practice to enter the palace and guard the palace, and there is no need to specifically convey the order.
Needless to say, this imperial edict must be specifically for Tanchun.
But why?
Everyone looked at Tanchun with amazement.
After the eunuch who delivered the order left, Tanchunwei was filled with people asking for the reason.
Tanchun himself is still confused, how can he give them an answer?
Seeing that the confusion was getting worse with more questions, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, since the three girls don't know, let's go to the palace first - after all, we are called by name, it is better not to go too late."
Tanchun was able to escape.
So everyone tidied up, gathered together with the You family from Dongfu, and hurried to the palace.
On the way, Xue Baochai was riding with Tan Chun. Seeing her frowning, he comforted her and said, "What do you want so much for? If the sky is really falling, taller people should be the ones to support it. Now that you have been chosen,
Being unknown is probably not a bad thing."
"Li'er is such a reasonable person."
Tan Chun sighed and said helplessly: "But at this juncture, it comes so unexpectedly. Even if I don't want to, I can't help but think about it."
"I'm thinking..."
Xue Baochai was thoughtful, but when his words came to his lips, he changed to a rhetorical question: "Then have you thought of anything?"
Tanchun glanced at her: "What I think is probably the same as my sister's."
Without waiting for Xue Baochai to respond, he sighed again: "Except Brother Jiao, I can't think of any other reason."
Xue Baochai nodded slightly when he heard this. She had just thought of Jiao Shun. After all, she had a close relationship with Tanchun and the one who could win the queen's wife was Jiao Shun.
But for the time being, neither of them could figure out why Jiao Shun wanted to find Tanchun.
"If it were really him, it wouldn't be a bad thing."
Xue Baochai said, holding Tan Chun's hand and saying: "Just keep your heart in your belly. It happens that Sister Feng can't go. I was originally worried that I would have no one to accompany me in the palace."
However, what Baochai didn't expect was that the two of them were forced to separate as soon as they entered the palace, and there was no chance for them to be companions at all.
Seeing Mrs. Wang and others being taken to the place where the married women were guarding the palace, while he was being led all the way deep into the palace by two palace maids, Tanchun couldn't help but feel uneasy no matter how bold he was.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a clear voice shouting: "Is there a banana in front of you?!"
This "Jiao Xia Ke" is Tanchun's poem title. It has always been used only for writing poems in poetry societies. I didn't expect it to be called out in the palace today.
Tanchun paused for a moment, then turned around in surprise, only to see a person quickly catching up behind him. He was tall and slender, with eyebrows arched like willow leaves and a cherry mouth. Although he was dressed plainly, he still couldn't conceal his nobility. He was clearly the Princess of Nan'an.
"Little princess?"
Tanchun exclaimed, subconsciously wanting to greet him, but then he thought that he was in the palace, so he stopped and waited for the other party to approach.
Princess Nan'an trotted forward, holding up the hem of her skirt. She pulled Tanchun a little excitedly and said, "I feel much more at ease now that I have you as my companion!"
Tan Chun's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "Does the princess know why you called me into the palace this time?"
"this……"
Only then did Princess Nan'an realize that Tanchun still didn't know what was going on. She looked around hesitantly and then said, "You will know it when you meet the empress later."
Tanchun was a little disappointed when he saw that she refused to reveal the truth, but from Princess Nan'an's reaction, he guessed that his entry into the palace this time was not a bad thing.
Therefore, I calmly walked and chatted with Princess Nan'an.
However, Tanchun still focused most of her attention on observing her surroundings. When she found out that she was taken to Zhongcui Palace, she immediately understood who she was going to see this time.
Because he had heard Jiao Shun commenting on Concubine Wu's character and knew her attitude towards her sister, Tanchun quickly cheered up. When he saw Concubine Wu in person, he assumed an extremely respectful attitude.
, for fear that a noble concubine who would accidentally offend Jizhen would retaliate.
"Sister Miaozhen [Princess Nan'an] please excuse me quickly."
Concubine Wu first gave Princess Nan'an a seat, then turned her eyes to Tanchun, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said in a voice that she thought was full of majesty: "Raise your head."
Tan Chun slowly raised his head, but did not dare to look directly at Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu looked at her from above and saw that she was indeed somewhat similar to Concubine Xiande, but she seemed to be more heroic.
With Jia Yuanchun's shrewdness, he expected that the third girl was not far behind, so Concubine Wu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you know why the queen sister summoned you to the palace?"
"The women of the people are ignorant, please give me some advice from the noble concubine."
Concubine Wu immediately waved her hand, and then said: "The sudden death of the Supreme Emperor was actually caused by poisoning. The culprit behind the scenes has not yet been identified. The late Emperor also passed away at this time. There was chaos in the palace, and the Crown Prince again
I need to preside over a national funeral, and I am very worried about this, so I asked Jiao Aiqing for advice, and he recommended you and the princess to me."
At this point, she deliberately played it off: "Do you know what his intention is in recommending you two?"
It was indeed the work of Brother Jiao!
Different from the anxiety shown by Princess Nan'an, Tan Chun not only did not feel panic after being involved in such a big event, but instead felt excited for the first time.
So she replied without hesitation: "The daughter of the people thought that we should stay with the prince temporarily and keep an eye on the prince's food and clothing to make sure there are no mistakes."
"She is indeed the sister of Concubine Xian De!"
Seeing that she understood her mission so quickly, Concubine Wu praised her, but then she said in a deep voice: "This is a big deal. If there is even the slightest mistake, not only your sister, but also me and the queen sister may not be safe."
I have to stop you!"
Although this was directed at Tanchun, it also included Princess Nan'an.
Therefore, Princess Nan'an also hurriedly bowed and said in unison with Tanchun: "Don't worry, Madam, we will do our best and never slack off!"
Concubine Wu was quite satisfied with their attitude, so she looked at Tan Chun carefully. After she was deeply imprinted in her mind, she called the female officer and ordered her to take the two of them to learn some basic knowledge.
, and then go on duty with the prince.
Princess Nan'an was just about to resign obediently, when Tanchun suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you."
Concubine Wu's face suddenly became a little bad, and she thought that this little hooves was indeed Concubine Xiande's sister, and she was always good at bargaining!
Although she was unhappy in her heart, it was still the time to employ people, so she finally highlighted one word with a cold face: "Speak."
But I heard Tan Chun say in a respectful voice: "Neither the daughter of the people nor the princess knows the way of medicine, so even though they have exhausted all their wisdom, there may not be any flaws. Therefore, I hope that the empress can assign a doctor to help the princess with me."
Hearing what she was asking for, Concubine Wu's face softened slightly, but she still frowned and said, "It's not difficult to mobilize the doctor, but how can you guarantee that the doctor will not be seduced by the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Hearing Concubine Wu's words, she was vaguely afraid of the mastermind behind the scenes, and Tanchun couldn't help but secretly wonder.
Because she had a close connection with Jiao Shun and participated in his "Zheng Bo Duan" plan, she had a deep understanding of King Zhongshun's strength and understood that in addition to his status as an elder of the royal family, he actually took advantage of the situation.
for.
But listening to what Concubine Wu said, it didn't seem to be the case.
Tanchun naturally trusted Jiao Shun more, so he could only conclude that it was due to a lack of information, or someone Jiao had deliberately guided him.
While she was thinking about all this, she mused: "Mr. Jiao once recommended a female doctor to diagnose and treat the grandmother of the common girl. Since this person is highly valued by Mr. Jiao, I think she should be trustworthy."
"Is it?"
Concubine Wu nodded slightly when she heard this, and immediately said: "I know about this matter, you can go with Huanbi first."
After Princess Nan'an and Tan Chun left with the female officer, she immediately summoned Jiao Shun in the name of the prince.
Jiao Shung had just led people to move Emperor Longyuan's body to the mourning hall, and was weeping there with the prince when he suddenly received the news that the prince had summoned him.
He glanced at the prince beside him speechlessly, but he could only follow the eunuch who ordered him back to Zhongcui Palace.
As soon as they met, Concubine Wu asked about the 'female doctor'.
Jiao Shun was dumbfounded immediately. He never expected that this matter would involve Lin Daiyu.
But this is not to be blamed on Tanchun. Tanchun's concerns were indeed justified, but she didn't know that the female doctor was Lin Daiyu pretending to be a doctor, and this was the result of a strange combination of circumstances.
If Lin Daiyu is really brought here, let’s not talk about the affair, if she really misses the main business because of this, who can afford it?!
So I didn't dare to hide it, so I hurriedly turned over and knelt down to explain the key.
Concubine Wu was most interested in this kind of gossip, and she kept asking questions. In the end, she even heard about the love and hatred between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and finally said with a half-smile: "So, in the beginning,
The emperor granted you a marriage, but it ended up being advantageous to you?"
Jiao Shun chatted but didn't answer.
However, Concubine Wu did not mean to defend Jia Baoyu, and waved her hand: "Since this matter has been brought about, it is still up to you to decide on the choice of the doctor - remember, if there is any mistake, I will not make any mistake."
Spare you!"
"I understand!"
Jiao Shun quickly kowtowed in response.
Just as she was about to take the opportunity to leave, Concubine Wu suddenly added: "As for Lin Daiyu, you might as well call her into the palace to have a look. It won't help. Three people are better than two."
"this……"
Jiao Shun suddenly looked bitter.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Tanchun didn't care about this at all, and would only try to cover it up for him when he saw Lin Daiyu. The reason why he showed a bitter look was entirely because Concubine Wu made it clear that she wanted to see his joke. If he didn't show his embarrassment,
Doesn't his appearance please Concubine Wu?
"how?"
Concubine Wu raised her voice: "You don't want to?"
"I don't dare!"
Jiao Shun said hurriedly: "I am just worried that the two of them will have a dispute, which will not be conducive to taking care of the prince."
Concubine Wu actually listened to what she said. Although she wanted to have fun, she definitely didn't want to risk her son's fortune.
Immediately Xingshan said: "Forget it then."
