Chapter 1015 The Throne Ceremony 1

When Mrs. Meng heard that the black cat was raised by a counterfeit, she became even more unhappy. She picked up the snacks on the plate and threw them at Xuanfeng.

Xuanfeng raised his paw, slapped the snack away, then glanced at Mrs. Meng with disdain, turned around and jumped off the window sill, disappearing in an instant.

"Madam, please rest here for a while. If you need anything, you can always tell the maid at the door."

"good."

Mrs. Meng didn't want to kneel there and cry. She couldn't cry, so she could only wipe her tears with a handkerchief soaked in ginger juice. It was so spicy that her eyes hurt.

When Grandma Sun returned to Fengqi Palace, she saw Lianyi holding Xuanfeng in her arms. She paused for a moment, sorted out her words, then stepped forward and saluted:

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Meng's place has been settled."

"Well, the mother has to go to the palace before the emperor is buried. Weeping is also a hard job. Please take more care of some elderly ladies. If they are really in poor health, you can avoid going to the palace to weep. .”

"Yes, concubine."

Grandma Sun responded respectfully.

Ripples then said:

"I'm a little tired, please take a nap first."

Grandma Sun and Lanzhi helped Lianyi lie down, and then quietly exited the inner room.

"Master, that Mrs. Meng has a lot of resentment towards you."

"She just thinks that I took advantage of her dead daughter and became a master. She is not convinced."

Lianyi could understand Mrs. Meng's thoughts, but he would not accept her attitude towards him. After all, it was the Meng family who found someone to marry as a substitute to avoid trouble. Because time was too tight, they chose the daughter of the Xia family who took the initiative to stand up. .

If Lianyi, the substitute girl, died in the harem strife, she would probably shed a few tears. But Lianyi was doing so well, using the influence of the Meng family to stabilize her position as queen, and because she gave birth to three children in a row. The child becomes the only one in the harem.

The better Lianyi's life got, the more intolerable she became. It wasn't until she learned that Lianyi was about to die that she felt relieved.

It's a pity that Ripple is not really going to die.

"Duoduo, Mrs. Meng has just arrived in the imperial city after a long journey, and she has been in the palace to cry for the emperor for days. Her body will definitely not be able to bear it."

"What the master is saying is that the women in the inner courtyard of this deep house are all very weak, not to mention that Mrs. Meng is not young at all."

Duoduo shook the flower plate and replied cleverly.

Three days later, Mrs. Meng fell ill. In the end, Hongji spared her from crying in the palace because the other party was his grandmother.

Just to avoid having to cry in the palace, Mrs. Meng's body was completely sick due to the loss, and she was unable to recover.

This kind of thing is not unique to Mrs. Meng. Every time the emperor dies, he will take away several senior ministers. This is something that everyone knows tacitly.

The main reason is that these veterans and family members are old, and with the emperor and courtiers, the series of processes before being buried in the imperial mausoleum are too torturous, and they will naturally fall down if they can't bear it.

General Meng frowned and stood by his old wife's bedside, looking at her face that had lost weight in just a few days. He was also anxious because of the nonsense she said from time to time because of the fever.

"Father, my daughter-in-law is here to take care of her mother. You go and have a rest first. The emperor will be buried tomorrow and you have to go to the palace early in the morning."

The second daughter-in-law said respectfully.

"Fengying, thank you for your hard work."

Marquis Anding could only nod helplessly.

On the second day, Marquis Anding entered the palace early in the morning, followed the funeral procession and took Emperor Qingxiang to the imperial mausoleum in the suburbs, and then sealed the tomb under the watchful eyes of the eldest prince.

Emperor Qingxiang was finally laid to rest, and the next step was Hongji's enthronement. The Ministry of Rites had already prepared all the matters for his enthronement. Hongji's royal robes were also made in a hurry, and the three auxiliary ministers also I would like to ask the prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

The current prince, Jiang Hongji, reluctantly rejected the offer three times, and finally agreed to ascend the throne as emperor.

Lianyi also received news from Duoduo:

"Master, the third prince has indeed arrived in the suburbs and has been dormant. He is waiting for the day when Hongji comes to power and will lead his men to attack the palace."

"How many people does he have?"

"He brought more than five hundred people, mainly because there were nails he had buried earlier in the imperial city, and there were also some of his people in the palace."

"I understand, let's leave it to Hongji! This is his first test in ascending to the throne."

"Master, what are you not going to do?"

"Now is the time for my son to show his strength, so I won't interfere. Interfering too much will be counterproductive."

Ripple said calmly.

In the middle of the night, a group of Royal Forest Guards surrounded Fengqi Palace. The leader of the guards respectfully said to Lianyi:

"The Queen Mother, I have a humble duty to guard Fengqi Palace under the Emperor's orders. After the Emperor's enthronement ceremony, the Royal Forest Guards will withdraw."

"I know this, just do your part."

Lianyi covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice before replying.

"yes!"

After the leader of the guards left, Lianyi gave orders to Grandma Sun:

"Go and invite Yunshan and Hongye to Fengqi Palace and say that I miss them."

"Yes, concubine."

When Yunshan and Hongye arrived at Fengqi Palace, they saw that their mother was coughing. Although her face was powdered, she still looked haggard.

"Mother, why did you start coughing? Didn't your condition improve in the past two days?"

Yunshan immediately took a step forward, sat on the edge of the bed, held Lianyi's hand and said.

Hongye frowned and asked Lanzhi:

"Aunt Lanzhi, why has my mother's condition gotten worse?"

"It's all slaves who didn't take good care of your Majesty."

Lanzhi immediately knelt down and said.

"Hongye, please don't embarrass Lanzhi. She takes good care of her. It's because the queen mother was greedy for the cold and stayed at the window for a while longer."

After Lianyi finished speaking, she waved her hand for Lanzhi to retreat.

"Mother, my eldest brother mobilized the imperial guards to guard outside Fengqi Palace, but something happened?"

"Your third uncle is back."

Lianyi put away the weakness on his face at this time and said calmly.

"Third uncle?"

"The third prince who killed his father, his father's younger brother?"

The two said immediately.

"yes."

"The Queen Mother called us to Fengqi Palace because she wanted to protect us better."

Hongye said firmly.

"Well, don't cause trouble to your elder brother. This is the first battle he has to fight."

"The son (daughter) knows."

After the two agreed, they stayed with Ripple quietly.

In fact, the queen mother Lianyi was going to attend Hongji's enthronement ceremony that day, but because there were rumors outside that she was dying, she was waiting for her son to fulfill his wish after he ascended the throne, and then he would follow the late emperor, which happened to make Lianyi not attend. reasons.

Anyway, the strong smell of soup and medicine in Fengqi Palace has not dissipated. The maids and eunuchs in the palace wanted to walk on tiptoes. In addition, the second princess and the third prince had gone to wait for the sick, so the courtiers did not mention it again.

After the salute of the enthronement ceremony sounded, Duoduo began to broadcast live. Halfway through the ceremony, Duoduo suddenly said:

"Master, someone is attacking the west gate, and the Royal Forest Guards have already engaged them."

"It's for Hongji."

"should be!"

"Where is the Third Prince?"

"He's not in it."

"Tell me if you find him."

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"The third prince is actually in your palace!"
