Chapter 349

Song Ruiyang's words, like a plate of cold water, wiped out everyone's hopes.

Zian still didn't give up, "The blood antelope horns are a pair, one was stolen by Liuyue, so what about the other one?"

Song Ruiyang's words dampened Zian's last hope, "She stole a pair."

This feeling of hope being born and then being destroyed immediately is really hard to bear, King Liang is the worst, and King Liang has always suffered from it.

Song Ruiyang asked about Zhuang Zhuang, but Zi'an didn't hide it, and told about Xiao Xiao's death in love after she committed suicide.

Song Ruiyang was very moved when he heard it, sighed again and again, and even expressed that he wanted to see Zhuangzhuang.

Everyone admired his measure. After all, he and Zhuang Zhuang had a marriage contract first, and Da Zhou regretted the marriage. This time, he insisted on marrying him. He was not angry at all when something like this happened again.

Zi'an felt that this Prince Liang was also a man of temperament.

At the end of the banquet, everyone was in no mood to drink and dispersed hastily. Murong Jie led someone to take Song Ruiyang to another courtyard to rest.

The next day, the empress dowager personally summoned Zi'an and the imperial doctor to the palace to inquire about Zhuangzhuang's condition.

After hearing that there was nothing to do, the empress dowager let out a long sigh and let Zian and the others go.

Not long after Zian and the others left, the noble concubine entered the palace.

After Zhuang Zhuang's accident, she never visited Zhuang Zhuang.

This time when she entered the palace, she suggested that Zhuang Zhuang might not be able to survive, and she wanted to find someone to marry Zhuang Zhuang, otherwise, she would become a lonely soul.

There is such a custom among the people of Dazhou that if an unmarried woman dies, she will have no master and no temple, and she will be a lonely ghost and cannot be reincarnated.

Therefore, when a woman who has not been out of the court dies, she will find a ghost marriage, and the same is true for men.

What the Concubine Gui meant was that instead of waiting for Zhuang Zhuang to get married after death, it is better to hold the wedding while she still has breath.

The empress dowager naturally disapproved, "Xiao Xiao and Zhuang Zhuang couldn't be together before they were alive. Seeing that they are about to leave now, it is natural to let them be a ghost couple, and it will be their wish."

The noble concubine said: "Sister, don't forget that this Xiao Xiao has a wife. Do you want us to be strong concubines? Absolutely not. Moreover, Xiao Xiao doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, so he can't divorce his wife. Qingqiu's status is fixed, how can they be called a ghost couple? This is humiliating our princess."

The empress dowager didn't expect to go to this level, indeed, how could she be a concubine with a strong identity? Moreover, the marriage between Han Qingqiu and Xiao Xiao was personally appointed by her, so she, the empress dowager, can't ask him to leave. What will the Xiao family think? What will the people of the world think? People in the world don't know about Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Xiao.

Zhuang Zhuang took Anxi Pills, but he couldn't save her. Although Zi'an can save her life for a few days, he will still leave after a few days. If you don't hurry up and hold this wedding, you will have to hold a ghost wedding in the future. There is also damage to the face of the royal family.

The empress dowager was at a loss, "Well, it's better to wait for the Ai family to ask Lao Qi what he means."

The imperial concubine smiled, "Sister, the princess is Ah Jie's elder, how can I ask Ah Jie about her marriage? You can only make the decision. You are her sister-in-law, and you can make the decision about her marriage."

The empress dowager thought for a while, "The King of Eastern Guangdong is going to Beijing soon, let's ask him what he means tomorrow. Hey, Ai's family doesn't know how to explain to him. Before he went to Eastern Guangdong, he told Ai repeatedly. Family, take good care of Zhuangzhuang."

The noble concubine said: "Yes, the prince loves the princess very much. He knew that something happened to the princess, and he must be very sad."

The empress dowager recalled Zhuang Zhuang's appearance, and tears fell again, "I am sorry for my family, it is very uncomfortable."

The noble concubine lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "Yes, it's hard!"

After a while, she raised her eyes, "Now that something happened to the princess, it's time to ask Lao Ba to come back and give his aunt a ride."

The empress dowager was startled, indeed, Zhuang Zhuang is the princess of Zhenguo and the aunt of King Nanhuai. If she leaves, King Nanhuai will come back.

The ancestors were regulated by the law of etiquette. Emperor Hui advocated the rule of benevolence and filial piety. If he did not issue an order to send him back, it would be contrary to Emperor Hui's rule of benevolence and filial piety.

But, will he cause another storm when he comes back?

The noble concubine said softly: "I know what my sister is worried about. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him. He and the princess grew up together and have a deep relationship. If he is not allowed to come back to see the princess for a ride, I'm afraid he will Regret forever."

The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family will consider this matter."

The imperial concubine didn't push her, but said softly: "Yes, you should think about it slowly, after all, you are her queen mother."

The empress dowager raised her head and frowned slowly.

These words were not forced, but they made her have to think carefully.

Moreover, even if he asked the Ministry of Rites and Prince Li, according to the rules, he should come back.

The noble concubine left the palace and went straight back to the palace.

Ah Fu asked: "Does the Royal Concubine want to go and see the princess?"

The noble concubine said in disgust: "What's so good about a dying person?"

"But for the sake of face, the imperial concubine still wants to go." Ah Fu said.

"The Ai family has always had nothing to say to her, and the relationship is not close. They just go to see her, but make the outside world speculate that the Ai family does not want to come out for activities now, so they can see it whatever they like."

"Okay, is the slave going to invite Master Biao?" Ah Fu asked.

"Let him come here immediately." The Concubine Gui ordered lightly.

"Yes, the servant is going!" Ah Fu finished speaking, turned around and left.

Not long after, I saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen coming to the palace with two young servants. This man was wearing a red dress, and his walking posture was a bit frivolous. Toffee's Qingning Pavilion.

"Aunt!" The young man saluted.

"Ah Can, sit down!" The noble concubine looked at him and frowned, "From now on, you should dress more neatly. You are now eighteen or nineteen, and you always dress like a peacock. Also, What kind of rouge is the man wearing? Nonsense!"

"Aunt," the young man said aggrievedly, "I am not the only one who puts on makeup and makeup. Many literati and poets in Beijing do this."

"It's a family, don't forget that our ancestors were once prominent, and now our Sun family is also a prestigious family in Beijing. Your eldest aunt is the empress dowager, and the Ai family is the noble concubine. We cannot tolerate you humiliating our Sun family's face. "The noble concubine scolded.

This person is the imperial concubine's natal nephew, Sun Can, the younger brother of the Lord Rouyao.

"Yes, I got it!" Sun Can was obviously a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to refute.

The noble concubine asked him to sit down and said: "Remember, you will go to the palace tomorrow to meet your eldest aunt, and tell her that you have admired the princess for a long time and wanted to marry her a long time ago, but due to your age and status, you dare not marry her." He proposed that now that something happened to her, he couldn't bear her to be a lonely soul, and wanted to marry her, so that even if she was a ghost, she would have a mansion to enter."

Sun Can suddenly raised his head, "Why do you want me to marry the princess? She is about to die, so I don't want to marry a dead person."

"Shut up!" the imperial concubine scolded angrily, "what do you know? She is dying, but if you marry her, all the wealth behind her will be yours. Do you know how many fiefdoms and wealth she has? ?”
