Chapter 358: Today's Fruit (2)
Mrs. Fuping stood aside expressionlessly, watching the eunuchs and maids bring out the boxes that had been sorted out, and said to the mother who was looking around, "What are you looking at?"
When the Queen Mother discovered her small actions, she was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. She thought that the Empress Dowager would send someone to see her off, at least in this way, life would be easier for the Empress Dowager after she went to another palace.
The empress dowager of the subjugated country, although she is called the empress dowager, who would take it seriously? But if there is face from the queen, the servants of the other palace will not dare to treat the queen mother badly. She is a palace servant, how can she not know the thoughts of the people below, but how can she say these things directly to the queen mother?
In fact, the Empress Dowager Fuping knew what she was thinking, but at this time, she could only pretend not to know. She once thought about dying, but if she died, what would her eldest son and daughter do? She didn't teach the second son well, is she still going to use suicide as a method to annoy the new emperor, and finally implicate the eldest son?
What's more, she still has some kindness towards Rong Xia. If she is still alive, Rong Xia will treat her eldest son and daughter a little better.
So she can only live, and live honestly and honestly.
Just as she was about to step into the carriage, she suddenly heard a surprised voice from Mammy.
"The Empress Dowager, it's the Empress Dowager!"
Empress Dowager Fuping looked back, and it turned out that it was really Ban Hua who came over. She paused and turned to face Ban Hua.
"Your Majesty," Ban Hua handed a wooden box to the nanny next to the Queen Mother, "Go to the other palace and take care of yourself. If there is anything you are not used to, please send someone to the palace to tell you. If I have free time, I will visit you too. Your."
The Empress Dowager Fuping's lips trembled slightly, and she said after a while: "You shouldn't have come."
She is the queen mother of the former dynasty, and Banhua is also the imperial princess of the former dynasty, and she still has some blood from the Jiang family. It is not good for her to get too close to them, the former dynasty.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand in my heart," Ban Hua helped the Empress Dowager Fuping into the carriage with her own hands. She stood outside the carriage and whispered, "After arriving at the other palace, your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty is a magnanimous person. Will treat Prince He and Princess Anle kindly."
Tears flashed in the Empress Dowager Fuping's eyes, she bowed to her, and lowered the curtain of the carriage.
"Ruyi," Ban Hua turned to look at Ruyi, "You send the queen mother out of the palace."
"yes."
When Ban Hua returned to the Moon Palace, Rong Xia hadn't gone to court yet. Nanny Chang, who had entered the palace with her, walked up to her and presented Ban Hua with the nourishing and nourishing soup she made herself, "What's wrong, my lady? Are you upset?"
"No," Ban Hua said after drinking the soup in silence, rinsing his mouth and wiping his mouth, "I just went to see off the queen mother."
Nanny Chang smiled very kindly: "It's right for the empress to send her off."
"One is to complete your personal friendship, and the other is to show the dignity of your country mother." Chang Nai has been with the eldest princess Dening for many years, and is also the eldest princess's confidant, so she has heard a lot of shady secrets .
Except for the hardships that the Empress Dowager suffered when she first married Emperor Yunqing, the days since then have been beautiful and carefree. Men respect her the most, and concubines and concubines can't get into her eyes at all. This is much more worry-free than the empresses of Daye. The more worry-free the days, the more innocent and innocent the character, and the dark side is limited, just like the Queen Mother.
"What kind of tolerance?" Ban Hua lowered his eyelids and said with a smile, "Nurse, you don't have to speak so well of me."
Nanny Chang shook her head with a smile: "Your Majesty is very good, just like Her Royal Highness."
"I'm not as good as my grandmother."
Nanny Chang patted her hand kindly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to think about it anymore, why don't you take a look at the clothes and jewelry on the Queen's Seal Ceremony, if there is something you are not satisfied with, you can ask the embroiderer to change it."
Banhua nodded: "Okay, let them present it for a look."
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!" The official from the Ministry of Rituals knelt in front of Rong Xia, "Empress Chunming's enthronement ceremony was regulated by the old rules eight hundred years ago. Since then, there has never been such a grand ceremony in the past. I'm going to set this precedent."
"The ancient rules, how can they be regarded as precedents?" Rong Xia ignored the officials kneeling on the ground, "The empress has done a lot for me to conquer the world, and holding the empress ceremony according to this rule is not an insult to her. "
Officials from the Ministry of Rituals did not expect Rong Xia to say such words. The queen's military achievements are indeed indispensable, but she is a woman after all, and it is not a good thing to lift a woman up so high.
"I know what you are worried about, but the queen is not such a person, I," Rong Xia put down the pen in her hand, looked at the ministers in the room fixedly, "trust her."
Seeing that Rong Xia had already spoken to the point, the courtiers knew that if they continued, His Majesty would be displeased, so they just agreed.
"Since all the adults have no objections, let's follow the rules," Rong Xia nodded slowly, finally showing some satisfaction on his face.
"Lord Zhou, Lord Yao," the official from the Ministry of Rituals stopped the two people who had not spoken against each other from the beginning to the end, "don't the two adults feel that there is something wrong with this empress ceremony?"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Bing'an looked innocent and bewildered, "Isn't Your Majesty quite satisfied?"
"Although His Majesty is satisfied, this grand ceremony is too grand..."
"Lord Wang," Yao Peiji patted the shoulder of the official from the Ministry of Rituals, "rules, as long as there are evidences to test, are not out of bounds. In my opinion, the empress is brave and good at fighting, and she has shared joys and sorrows with her majesty. According to this rule Not too much."
Seeing that Yao Peiji also said the same thing, the officials from the Ministry of Rituals let him pat him on the shoulder in a trance, and suddenly felt that he must have really made a fuss.
The important ministers in the court did not have the slightest opinion on the regulation of the empress dowager ceremony, and others did not dare to have any opinions. Today, His Majesty not only has the means to govern the country, but also the military power in the court is in his hands, so the officials in the court are very obedient.
Anyway, what His Majesty wants to treat favorably is the original wife, not some concubine or concubine. In addition, there are precedents in history.
Officials from the Ministry of Rituals are in full swing to worry about the post-sealing ceremony, and states and counties in various places that have experienced wars have gradually returned to normal order. The residence report about Rong Xia's ascension to the throne was only sent to the states, counties and surrounding countries at this time.
When people in all states and counties heard that the new emperor was such a good emperor, they all applauded happily.
As for the small countries around them, they dare not move during the civil war, not to mention that now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the only thing they can think of is to send envoys to the new emperor to congratulate the new emperor non-stop, so as to find out what the new emperor has done to the surrounding countries. Any thoughts.
