Chapter 52: Silence
"Bang"
Emperor Yan missed the step and fell directly to the floor. Juan quickly stepped forward to help the dazed Emperor Yan, and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, how are you?"
"Huan, will you say what you just said again?" Emperor Yan suspected that he was in a trance and had auditory hallucinations. Wan'er had a temper with him yesterday, but she was obviously still fine!
Huan knew that Emperor Yan could not accept the fact that the virtuous and virtuous Queen had passed away, but he had to report truthfully, "Your Majesty, the little virtuous man next to Your Highness came to report that the Queen has passed away."
"Shut up! Shut up! Anyone who dares to say anything wrong about the queen will be taken out and chopped by me!" Emperor Yan shook off Huan's hand and stumbled out of the Qinzhengyuan. He wanted to see Wan'er. He didn't
I believe this is true, Wan'er is obviously fine! It must be those quack doctors! It must be that they didn't treat Wan'er carefully! It's their fault!
Before Emperor Yan arrived at Siwan Courtyard, the funeral bell rang, a full twenty-seven times. The concubines, concubines, and courtiers in each court immediately stopped what they were doing, put on their mourning clothes and hurried to Siwan Courtyard.
Yuan Yuan was sobbing in Qingshuang's arms, Yan Huai just stood motionless in Queen Wen's room, and Nanny Tang could only stay quietly in front of the bed.
"Wan'er!" Emperor Yan's sad voice came from outside the courtyard, and then the disheveled Emperor Yan stumbled in.
"See Your Majesty."
Ignoring everyone's salutes, Emperor Yan's eyes were filled with the pale-faced woman on the bed.
Holding her hand that had no warmth for a long time, Emperor Yan began to beg her, "Wan'er, I know I was wrong. Don't do this. Don't scare me like this. I will listen to you from now on, okay?"
"Wan'er, you said you would always be with me, how could you deceive me!"
There was more and more grief, and the palace people in Siwanyuan howled as if they were feeling the same. Yan Huai looked at Emperor Yan's emotional performance with cold eyes, and suddenly wanted to laugh.
With the arrival of the concubine's wife, Siwanyuan quickly packed up the mourning hall and hung it all with white silk. Yuan Yuan was at a loss as he watched everyone busy. Qing Shuang was afraid that she would be frightened, so he had to take her back to Ji first.
Yueyuan.
The palace people are replacing the red silk used in weddings with white silk, and all the festive supplies are being replaced by black and white.
For three days in a row, Yanhuai stood in front of Queen Wen's coffin without saying a word or even shedding a tear. The concubines and concubines privately complained, lamenting that the prince was too cold-blooded.
On the day of Queen Wen's death, Emperor Yan was overly sad and fell ill. He often had nightmares and called Queen Wen's maiden name.
The palace people did their best to attend to the illness, and the concubine ran between Siwanyuan and Qinzhengyuan. She was physically and mentally exhausted but could not explain it. She could only pray that Emperor Yan would recover as soon as possible and that Queen Wen's funeral ceremony could be completed as soon as possible.
Yuan Yuan came to Yan Huai with a snack box and sat down. She tugged on his sleeve with her little hand and said with red eyes, "Yan Shenzhi, you have to eat well, otherwise mother will be worried."
"Xinxin..." Yan Huai's voice became hoarse after not speaking for a long time.
"I'm here." Yuan Yuan responded, holding his hand.
"I don't have a queen mother anymore..."
As Yan Huai spoke, his tears were like a torrent that began to burst its banks and could no longer be suppressed.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Still falling drop by drop.
Nanny Tang looked at the two young masters with a heartbroken heart. The pain of losing her mother was like tearing out her heart. Others said that His Highness was cold-blooded and ruthless, but he was just too sad and didn't know how to vent his pain.
The funeral took place for nearly half a month. After sending off Queen Wen's coffin, Emperor Yan immediately returned to Yanjing with everyone.
Yan Huai had become very thin during this period, and his face was more stern than usual. After returning to the East Palace, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to government affairs.
Yuan Yuan was much quieter than before and no longer went out to play. She stayed in the back garden raising rabbits every day. Zhou Xiaoxue wanted to go to the palace to accompany her, but Mrs. Zhou refused. She was afraid that her daughter would be ignorant and offend the nobleman.
.
Life was not easy for Guiren Fu after she returned to the palace. Emperor Yan seemed to have forgotten who she was and did not summon her even once. Even when she took the initiative to visit Qinzheng Hall, she was stopped by Huan.
"Your Majesty, now the power of managing the harem has fallen into the hands of Concubine De. All the concubines are trying their best to curry favor with her, and the threshold of Kangning Palace is about to be broken." Aunt Du next to Fu Guiren said sourly.
said.
Fu Guiren was also irritated. Because Queen Wen was newly mourned, Emperor Yan would not step into the harem for three months, but Concubine De could often come in and out of the Qinzheng Hall. She knew that bitch was used to pretending to be white lotus, and could not argue with her appearance.
If you don’t snatch her away, you will immediately take the opportunity to keep her favor as soon as Queen Wen dies. She is indeed very scheming!
"That's enough, mama, stop talking. Don't you know that Concubine Da is in the limelight right now, but I can't even see His Majesty, how can I get back in the game?"
Aunt Du thought of Fu Wu's instructions and took advantage of the situation to remind Mr. Fu, "Why don't you invite Miss Shiya to the palace to accompany you? Although Miss Shiya is not old, she is deeply loved by the Prime Minister and praises her for her intelligence and agility.
, If Miss Shiya accompanies your Majesty, I think it will also be helpful to your Majesty."
Fu Guiren also remembered the effectiveness of Fu Shiya's advice for him when he was in the palace, and thought that he could give it a try, "Okay, then let's call Ya'er into the palace."
Guiren Fu was preparing for his favor, and Concubine De was also preparing for Emperor Yan to expand the harem. Taking advantage of Emperor Yan's ability to recruit more concubines, it would not be in vain for her to act as queen.
After holding back in the East Palace for nearly a month, Yuan Yuan was finally willing to go out, but she didn't want to play, but went to the side hall of Qinzheng Palace to pick up Yan Huai.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Xiao Dezi hurriedly greeted him and took the small lunch box from Yuan Yuan's hand.
"I'm here to take Yan Shenzhi home. Why hasn't he come out today?" A few days ago, Yan Huai came out almost as soon as he arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, but today it was a bit late.
Xiao Dezi was sitting in the side hall, so he could hear some noises. The reason was that Emperor Yan wanted to execute the imperial doctor Gong and a group of medical women who were taking care of Queen Wen at that time. Yan Huai did not agree, so the father and son blamed each other tit for tat.
Of course, Emperor Yan was quite agitated, and Yan Huai's calm expression prompted Emperor Yan to scold him for being unfilial.
After a while, Yan Huai came out of the main hall. He saw the little girl wearing only a thin layer of clothing and frowning slightly. It was a bit cool in early October, but the little girl was still young, and Yan Huai was always afraid that she would catch a cold.
cold.
"Next time, you don't have to come to pick up the orphan. Just wear more clothes. If you catch a cold and cry and refuse to take medicine," Yan Huai said while holding her hand, and they went back to the East Palace side by side.
"I know, I don't come to pick you up every day. I just went shopping today when I had nothing to do, so I came to pick you up on the way." The little girl snorted arrogantly and watched the little girl break her hands.
