The queen passed away, the country was mourning, and cholera was raging, so the palace was extremely busy.
The emperor appointed Concubine Xiang to preside over the funeral ceremony and temporarily take care of the general affairs of the Sixth Palace. Naturally, Concubine Xiang had no choice but to entrust Yue Wangshu with the safety of Princess Changyu, whose condition had improved. Yue Wangshu knew that he could not help much, except to go there every day.
When mourning in Fengyi Palace, it was to accompany Princess Changyu.
When a death occurs in the middle palace, the concubines, princes, princesses, and even married women of the sixth palace must enter the palace in plain clothes every day and kneel in mourning for seven days.
However, since cholera was now widespread, it was not advisable to wander around, so the emperor exempted married women from entering the palace to mourn. In addition, during the national mourning period, weddings, funerals, singing, dancing and feasting were suspended, which curbed the spread of cholera.
Fengyi Palace mourned, and in front of the coffin in the middle palace, the concubines knelt on futons according to their rank, either sobbing, whimpering, or howling, which was really disturbing to the ears.
To be honest, the death of the empress, such a saint-like figure, is really sad. But for Yue Wangshu, the empress was not her closest relative, so she couldn't cry every day, and she felt even more sad.
There are more, but it is a bit sad.
But there was no other way. She would shed tears when she mourned, not to mention that Yue Wangshu was kneeling so far forward. In front of her was Rong, the second concubine of Xiang, and beside her was the concubine of Lan Gui, Shen, who used to be higher than her, Fang.
Jieyu now only fell behind her, sobbing uncontrollably.
There was no other way, so Yue Wangshu had no choice but to touch his eyes with a handkerchief stained with ginger juice.
In an instant, I felt pain in my eyes, and tears started pouring out of my eyes.
Doing these false rituals not only troubles the living but is of no benefit to the deceased, so why bother?
While she was weeping and sighing, Concubine Lan couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
After a while, Concubine Lan whispered: "The Queen is seriously ill. You ignored your own safety and served me. You have done your best."
Yue Wangshu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Concubine Lan was trying to comfort her. After thinking about it, he remembered that when she returned to the palace this time, others might mistakenly think that she meant the queen, so she served the palace.
It's like repaying a favor.
Yue Wangshu did not deny it, he just nodded and wiped his tears quickly. This ginger juice is really strong!
After wiping it carefully, I suddenly realized that Lan Guibi's breasts seemed to be much plumper.
I vaguely remember that in the past, Concubine Lan was very thin and slender, like an orchid in an empty valley. She never imagined that she would gain weight one day.
While he was leaning on the floor, he heard a "pop" sound. It turned out that Fang Jieyu fell down from behind. She did not fall to the ground, but fell softly on Chen Cairen. Chen Cairen was already at a loss.
He hurriedly helped Fang Jieyu steady.
When Concubine Xiang, who was responsible for presiding over the funeral ceremony, saw this, she couldn't help but look tense and said quickly: "Hurry and help her to the side hall, be careful!"
Concubine Lan frowned when she saw this, but didn't say anything more.
Yue Wangshu was suspicious, "This is only the second day..." Hasn't Fang Jieyu's body and bones always been in good condition? Isn't it?
And Concubine Xiang seemed a little too nervous.
After sending Fang Jieyu away, Concubine Xiang looked at Concubine Lan again, looking worried and concerned.
Concubine Lan Gui said hurriedly: "Concubine, nothing happened."
Concubine Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nothing will happen to you two."…
Yue Wangshu:???What does it mean?
Concubine Xiang looked at Yue Wangshu again: "My dear concubine, please go to the side hall to check Fang Jieyu's pulse. If nothing happens, just leave it. If anything is wrong, call the imperial doctor quickly."
Yue Wangshu was stunned. What's the matter?
Although she didn't agree with it, she couldn't refute Concubine Xiang's instructions. Now that the middle palace suddenly passed away, Concubine Xiang not only took charge of the funeral rites, but also took charge of the sixth palace. It was said that it was her, even if she was Rong Fei, she had to listen.
command.
Yue Wangshu said "yes" and got up and went to the side hall.
In the west wing of Fengyi Palace, Fang Jieyu had been helped down, and several maids were serving her carefully, all of them looking nervous.
Yue Wangshu stepped forward with suspicion, pulled Fang Jieyu's wrist out from under the quilt, and took a pulse directly.
This pulse——
Yue Wangshu's expression changed slightly, he quickly touched it carefully and blurted out: "Hua Mai?"
Yue Wangshu was shocked, Fang Jieyu is happy?!
Fang Jieyu's personal maid Xiu Yin had a nervous look on her face, "Yes, my Mistress Fang is already three months pregnant."
Yue Wangshu was speechless for a while.
She didn't tell her she was pregnant early, and went to cry in mourning - well, you really can't blame Fang Jieyu for this. Who dares to neglect such a great gift? Nowadays, except for the bedridden eldest princess Waiyu, Lian Rongfei's third princess Waikui
, children who have not yet been weaned have to be held by wet nurses and kneel down to mourn for half a day!
Since the emperor had not spared Fang Jieyu from paying his respects, how could she dare not come?
Xiu Yin hurriedly asked cautiously: "Chungui concubine, is my master's dragon fetus okay?"
Yue Wangshu said hurriedly: "Oh, it's okay." Now that he knew she was pregnant, Yue Wangshu didn't expose Fang Jieyu's fake fainting, so he withdrew his hand and added: "Have a good rest and you'll be fine."
Xiuyin breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, Yue Wangshu suddenly remembered Concubine Xiang's special attitude towards Concubine Lan, and then remembered that Concubine Xiang seemed to have said a few days ago that Concubine Lan and Fang Jieyu were not as healthy as before...
Lan Guifei’s fat figure——
Yue Wangshu said "fuck" in his heart.
Sickly dog emperor, you can do it.
Then he blurted out and asked: "How long has Concubine Lan been pregnant?"
Xiu Yin was stunned for a moment and then said: "Ms. Lan Guifei is almost four months pregnant, and her fetus is stable. She is no more pregnant than my master, who is only three months old."
Yue Wangshu: There is no need to emphasize Fang Jieyu’s month...
To put it into perspective, she was conceived around the Chinese New Year. That means she completely cured the emperor's old illness, and Lan Guifei and Fang Jieyu were pregnant one after another.
There is no need to mention Fang Jieyu, but Lan Guifei... I don’t know when her mind changed. In any case, it is a good thing for Lan Guifei.
"Take good care of your Jieyu, I'll go out to express my condolences." Since Fang Jieyu was fine, Yue Wangshu left directly.
As soon as her front legs came out of the side hall, Fang Jieyu on the bed opened a pair of wonderful eyes. Fang Jieyu also looked relieved and whispered in a low voice: "I am not disrespectful to the queen.
My body is really not yet stable..."
Xiuyin hurriedly comforted in a low voice: "The Queen is the most tolerant and virtuous, I am sure Jiuquanxia will not blame me."
Fang Jieyu asked in a low voice: "The Yue family, did you really not see it?"
Xiuyin was not sure for a moment whether the pure noble concubine was not good at medicine or was just pretending to be deaf and dumb.
However, Fang Jieyu thought about the time when the Yue family was able to bring Concubine Rong, who suffered from blood loss, back from the Palace of Hell. She also thought about the quarrel with the Yue family in the past, and felt uneasy. "I hope she won't talk nonsense."
Xiu Yin hurriedly said: "No, she just said that you need to rest for a while, so just rest peacefully in the side hall. If not, the emperor will issue an edict tomorrow to spare you from mourning."
Fang Jieyu felt a little more at ease now. She touched her belly under the large mourning clothes and said angrily: "I was just a little Shuyuan before, but now she is taking over me!" Fang Jieyu couldn't help but feel a little confused in her life.
Not convinced...
