That's why there is no such thing as the lingering pathos in the original score.

Lian Ruqi was just about to put down his sleeves when his hand suddenly stopped and asked, "Feng Qiu Huang?"

His voice was very soft. After asking, he continued to lower his head and do what he wanted to do just now.

An Hongshao nodded, "It looks like it was Pang Xiangren who came here."

Lian's father was cautious. Although he respected Pang Xiang everywhere, he could not say that he would never have second thoughts.

Prime Minister Pang was thinking that the Minister of Rites would become a faction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lian Ruzhi hummed, but didn't say much.

But what he said was what he said. He didn't even touch An Hongshao as planned at night. He was so angry that letting her sleep peacefully was better than anything else.

Early the next morning, even as he went to sword practice early as scheduled, An Hongshao also got up.

When the time came, Lian Ruqi turned his back to An Hongshao, and An Hongshao asked someone to come in with a food box and said, "Try it."

Seeing that An Hongshao still had a little bit of dough on his collar, Lian Ruqi's mind changed slightly, "Did you do this?"

An Hongshao smiled and nodded, "On your birthday, I rolled out a bowl of noodles for you."

In the two lifetimes of husband and wife, An Hongshao can naturally remember such an important day.

When waiting for the evening, the family prepares a few more dishes, which makes their little house lively.

Two days ago, An Hongshao discussed with Lian Mu that Zhou was pregnant and could not eat randomly. It would not look good just calling Jing Han over. In order to avoid trouble, she did not do anything.

It's not a big birthday, it's the same wherever you have a meal.

Lian's mother immediately nodded in agreement, and even her birthday was celebrated every year as scheduled when she was young. When she got older, she wasn't necessarily at home, so birthdays became less important.

Lian Ruzhi reached out to pull out the chair and handed the rabbit fur sleeve hidden behind his back to An Hongshao, "The rabbit fur has been dried in the air."

An Hongshao rubbed the furry white, "Why did you give me a gift for your birthday?"

No wonder I had this intention when I said I wanted to take myself hunting last time.

Lian Ruqi didn't look at An Hongshao, and only focused on tasting the food in front of him, "What do you and I do when we pay so much attention to each other?"

Whose birthday is different?
After finishing the meal, An Hongshao asked Dongqing to take the girdle he had sewn from the inner room and asked Lian to compare it as scheduled.

"No wonder I get angry after doing so many things." Lian Ruqi thought that his birthday gift was this bowl of noodles. This bowl was the first time he had eaten noodles that tasted so delicious.

Unexpectedly, An Hongshao had prepared something else. When he came back, he never saw An Hongshao busy with these things once, and he didn't know when he would finish them.

Really hard.

Lian Ruqi was about to reach out and take it, but he vaguely heard the sound of a bell.

It seems to be in the direction of the palace.

Lian Ruqi's eyes immediately changed. At the same time, Lu You hurried back to the palace from outside. When Lian Ruqi went out, Lu You reported and sent an order from the palace to let Lian Ruqi return to the palace as soon as possible.

An Hongshao walked a few steps and watched as Lian strode away as planned, getting on his horse and walking further and further away, without even glancing at the birthday gift.

Originally, An Hongshao had already asked for leave from Aunt Bao, thinking that she would not come over today for Lian's birthday as scheduled, but unexpectedly, Lian left early as scheduled.

After taking care of the general affairs, An Hongshao had nothing to do, so he went to Aunt Bao's place.

I thought that Aunt Bao was back as usual, closing her eyes and recuperating, but when she didn't want to go in, Aunt Bao was kneeling on the futon and bowed in the direction of the palace.

An Hongshao quickly stood aside and waited for Nanny Bao to get up, then went over to give her a hand.Aunt Bao looked back with a solemn expression, "There is a bell ringing in the palace."

It's the sound of mourning.

Something happened in the palace. After all, Aunt Bao had served her master in the palace. When the master left, she would still kowtow in the direction of the palace, as if she did not forget the kindness of the late concubine.

There are only a few people in the palace who are worthy of the bell.

I don’t know which master died.

Aunt Bao didn't want to talk about anything else today, so she just let An Hongshao learn by herself.

Waiting for it to be late, Lian's father sent someone back to spread the news that the empress died of illness in the palace, so the Ministry of Rites naturally had to deal with the empress's funeral affairs.

Nowadays, most of the scholars taking the scientific examination from all over the country have arrived in the capital. The date of the scientific examination cannot be changed. In addition, the person in charge has changed now, and the people in the Ministry of Etiquette are extremely busy.

Lian's father directly asked people to pack some of the clothes at home and take them all to the Ministry of Rites. He probably won't have time to go home recently. He is now living in the Ministry of Rites, resting on errands, and continuing to run errands after resting.

Lian didn't come back from the palace as expected, and Lian's father went to the Ministry of Rites again. Lian Ruxin had to get busy, do his own errands, and went to the Ministry of Rites. If Lian's father had any use for him, he would Getting busy.

This is considered to be a discerning person.

The next day, An Hongshao found out the Queen's condition.The Queen was a girl from a guard family whom the Holy One met when he was at his lower level. She did not mind being poor and loved being rich, so she followed the Holy One.

It's just that her life was poor, and her body suffered a lot. Although her life got better after returning to Beijing, her body was already empty. She accidentally fell while walking the day before yesterday, and that's all.

Some people lamented that the empress was not so lucky. She had been taking medicine since she entered the palace. Now she finally couldn't stand the overwhelming wealth and passed away early.

No matter what outsiders say, she is always the holy wife, and her funeral must be handled decently.

Nine days, a whole nine days, the queen's funeral affairs were finally finished.

But the ministers were not idle either. As soon as the queen left, they couldn't wait to write a letter to the emperor to accept the concubine.

What are you talking about? The Empress is here to warn everyone. Empresses are all ambitious and have endured hardships with the Lord, but their bodies are indeed injured and they cannot do anything for the royal family.

Even if there is no general election, a few official women should be appointed to the palace.

This year is not going well, so we will not discuss the matter of establishing a new queen for the time being, but admitting a few girls into the harem will not make the emperor more embarrassed.

On the matter of accepting concubines, it is rare that Pang Xiang and Feng Ge Lao have the same opinions.

I don't know if the emperor was tired of being told, or if he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave an heir, so he nodded in agreement.

The emperor was not a person who was greedy for beauty. He ordered the county heads of the Pang and Feng families to accompany him to the palace, and then ordered three noble ladies from the capital.

In addition, Prime Minister Pang also wrote to the emperor to invite the legitimate daughter of General Ge, who was guarding the border, to enter the palace. This was to appease the hearts of the border officers and show the emperor's great kindness.

Ministers, reconsider.

That’s the conclusion.

After hearing this news, An Hongshao actually felt a pity for becoming the head of Hui'an County. The mother of the country was away and waiting for the end of the imperial examination. They entered together from the side door. They didn't know how to hold a banquet. They carried a small sedan chair and took concubines with the people below. In the same way, Quietly became someone else's wife.

Everyone knows that the lord of Hui'an County will definitely join the imperial family, but it would be frustrating to do so at such a time.

However, the big families are not willing to give up this opportunity. The queen has gone, and they go to the palace first. Whoever gets to favor the first will probably be promoted as their successor in the future.

It's always better. During the general election, beauties are everywhere, and it's difficult to stand out at that time.

What's more, time is fleeting, the queen died of illness, and the emperor will not be elected within three years. By then, how can the county master of Hui'an compare with those young and beautiful ones.
