On August 24, Zhang Tingyu took out the imperial edict of Yinzhen and read it out in front of all the civil and military officials. Then all the civil and military officials paid homage to the new emperor. As for the enthronement ceremony, it would not be held until Hongli had obeyed for ten days. That is
The third day of September.
The news of Hongli's accession to the throne reached Prince Bao's Mansion as quickly as possible. Everyone was surprised when they heard the news of Hongli's accession to the throne. Because Hongli was the emperor, they were the concubines and concubines, and now they are the concubines.
It's completely different. In comparison, Yinzhen's death was somewhat insignificant, and some even secretly rejoiced. After all, if Yinzhen had not died, Hongli would not have been able to ascend to the throne of emperor.
Xianyue didn't smile when she heard the news that A Luo had inquired about. Instead, she looked worriedly at the dark sky outside. A Luo came over and said, "Master, you don't seem to be very happy. Don't you want to
Has the prince ascended the throne?"
Xianyue shook her head and said: "How could I think so? I'm just worried about the prince. He is a very filial person. The death of the emperor must have been a great blow to him. It's a pity that we can't enter the palace now because we don't know the prince's situation."
"Actually, the emperor has been ill for such a long time, and the prince should be aware of it. Even if he is really sad, I believe that the prince can get through it."
Xianyue nodded and said: "By the way, you quickly send someone to buy mourning clothes and give them to everyone."
Just as A Luo was about to agree, a female voice came from outside, "Sister, don't bother, I've already prepared the filial piety, but the only thing left is that I don't have it here yet."
The person who came was a woman with good looks. The slightly raised corners of her eyes made her look charming and graceful. This person was none other than the Gao family from the Fu Jin Dynasty. The Gao family was a member of the Eight Banners Han Army and had a humble status.
Once selected, she can only serve as a waiter on duty, that is, a maid.
Such a woman, who did not have a son or a half, should have been excluded from the position of Fucha, but Hongli was very fond of her. In March of the twelfth year of Yongzheng, she was promoted to Fujin, on an equal footing with Xiayue and Fucha.
.
Xianyue looked at the pile of mourning clothes held by the maid behind her, and a strange color flashed in her eyes, which immediately turned into a sneer, "My sister is so fast. It only took half a day since the late emperor passed away, and she had already made the mourning clothes."
, it’s really amazing.”
Mrs. Gao smiled slightly and said: "My sister is not as capable as my elder sister, so she can only do trivial things." At this point, she sighed and said: "The emperor must have been very uncomfortable in the palace after the late emperor passed away.
We can't enter the palace, so we can only try our best to arrange things in the palace as well as possible. However, our direct descendant Fujin is not in good health.
I can only do more, don't you think, sister?" After Xianyue nodded, she added: "I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't chat with my sister here. I left these mourning clothes for my sister.
Hurry up and put it on, and..." She pointed at the beaded flower in Xia Yue's hair that had not yet been replaced and said: "Sister, please don't forget this."
"Thank you, sister, for reminding me." After receiving Xianyue's words, Mrs. Gao bent her knees and turned to leave. As she walked in the yard, she could vaguely hear her ordering the maids beside her to replace all the lanterns in the mansion with white ones.
.
After she walked away, A Luo said: "From what I can see, Yi Nu, she clearly wants to take credit so that she can claim credit in front of the prince."
"Your Majesty..." Xia Yue smiled coldly and said, "Didn't you hear what Gao called you just now? Your Majesty, she changed her tune faster than any of us."
A Luo snorted coldly: "Yinu, I think she should have prepared her filial piety clothes a long time ago and was waiting for the moment when the late emperor passed away to take them out. Otherwise, it would not have been so fast. Maybe she was looking forward to the early death of the late emperor.
I want to die so that the emperor can ascend the throne and I can enter the harem."
Xianyue ordered people to take down the filial piety clothes and distribute them to the servants in the yard. She took A Luo into the back room and asked her to change her clothes. "When the emperor ascends the throne, his direct descendants must be queens, and we, the lucky descendants, will be the queen."
It is unknown what kind of position she will be given. The better she can please her, the higher the position will be. It is possible for her to be a noble concubine or an imperial concubine."
A Luo said with some disdain: "She was born in the Han army, and she can sit in the position of Fujin. She is already the king... The emperor is particularly favored. She also wants to be a noble concubine, the emperor's noble concubine. It is really whimsical."
Xianyue took off the hairpin from her hair and said: "This may not be a fantasy. You have also seen the emperor's attitude towards her, and his methods are not weaker than anyone else. If the emperor and I hadn't experienced some things together, I'm afraid...
She has already stepped under her feet."
"Master also said that otherwise, I believe that no matter what she does, she will never be able to surpass the master. At most, she will be an equal. When the emperor went to find the master, he said that no one can surpass you except his direct descendant Fujin.
, if he is the emperor, you will be the imperial concubine, so you can rest assured."
Xianyue inserted a black silver flat hairpin in her dark cloud-like hair and sighed softly: "Even so, I still feel a little uneasy. It's not like you didn't know about my aunt before. Others have reliable families. I
Not only do I have no support, but I also have to be dragged along.
Tired, I heard that several ministers in the court once submitted a memorial to the emperor to punish me as a remnant. Fortunately, the emperor blocked it on the grounds that I had already broken off relations with them. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened. There is also the Niu Hulu family.
...She has never liked me."
A Luo was silent for a while and said: "Master, don't think so much. There must be a way to reach the mountain. After changing into mourning clothes, I will accompany you in the house to see if there is anything unfinished. Gao Fujin cannot be left alone."
Take the credit."
Xianyue nodded, but after walking around the house, she found that the Gao family had already arranged everything, and no one else could interfere.
A Luo gritted his teeth angrily and said: "She has indeed planned it for a long time, otherwise she would not be so thorough."
Xia Yue's eyes were slightly cold and she said: "That's all, come with me to go to the direct Fujin's place for a walk. I have something to say to the direct descendant Fujin."
A Luo knew that on the surface, his master and his direct descendant Fujin had always maintained a good relationship. His descendant Fujin also trusted his master quite a bit and left most of the affairs in the house to her to take care of.
When she got there, Mingyu was leaning on the couch, coughing slightly from time to time. She had already changed her clothes. As for jewelry, she had never liked pearls and jade, and mostly used silver jewelry. It was the same whether she changed it or not.
Xianyue said with concern: "When I came to see my nephew Fujin the day before yesterday, I only had a slight fever. Why are you coughing now?"
"Nothing's wrong. It's just that the weather is hot and cold today, so my throat is a little itchy. I've asked the doctor to check it out, and the medicine has been prescribed." Mingyu called her hand to call Xianyue close to her, and said softly: "When there are no outsiders.
, you should still call me sister as before, otherwise I will always feel unfamiliar with the word "Fujin"."
