The Ministry of Rites soon decided on an auspicious day, five days later on the third day of October, to hold the canonization ceremony.
Moreover, the emperor also announced the canonization of Ming Wudao as the imperial concubine Ming Wudao. Because of Ming Wudao's special status, it naturally caused a sensation.
The courtiers couldn't believe that the wise man who was famous all over the world was going to become a concubine in the palace?
Of course, some people have known about it for a long time, such as the followers of Ming Wudao.
The harem of the previous dynasty has always been inextricably linked. Even the concubines of the past tried their best to interact with the courtiers of the previous dynasty, one for profit and the other for power.
Therefore, before Ming Wudao entered the palace as a concubine, he had already become a force.
The emperor's calculation was very precise. He wanted to use Ming Wudao's influence to consolidate the loyalty of courtiers and weaken the power of the East Palace. He despised the identity of Ming Wudao's woman and believed that no matter how famous a woman was, she would always be a woman, just like the prince. Like Concubine Lengxiao, even though she has ambitions, she can never reach the front line.
The news that Ming Wudao was canonized as the noble concubine of Emperor Ming reached the ears of the queen.
The imperial concubine is equivalent to the deputy queen. Now she is too weak to care about the harem. Now it is the imperial concubine who is helping the queen. But when the imperial concubine comes, the power of the harem will be given to the imperial concubine.
Once the imperial concubine takes power, she is different from Ning Concubine. She believes that after the power is handed over to the imperial concubine, it will not be returned to her.
She, the queen, exists in name only.
She didn't know where she heard the news, saying that the emperor originally planned to depose the queen, but gave up the idea because the empress dowager stopped him.
The queen suffered a heavy blow this time. The most terrifying thing was not that she lost her position as queen, but that she really had no status at all in the heart of the emperor. They had been married for more than 20 years, and he had no affection for him at all. .
She became disposable waste.
She is of no use at all alive.
Frustrated, she started a hunger strike, but in order to prevent anyone from knowing that she intended to commit suicide, and fearing that it would drag down the prince, she ate a little occasionally, and then said that she had a bad appetite and could not eat, and then she would dig her throat with what she ate. Spit it out.
The imperial doctor came several times, but they all said it was due to stagnation of liver qi, blockage of heart and blood, and continuous attacks of head wind, which affected the gastrointestinal tract, so I couldn't eat.
The imperial doctor prescribed medicine and administered injections, but the effect was not ideal. Occasionally I could take a little, but it wouldn't last long.
In just a few days, the queen lost a lot of weight.
Originally, the queen wanted to reassure the emperor, so she didn't see the prince and princess. At that time, she still wanted to work hard to restore the relationship with the emperor. Now she doesn't think so. She doesn't have much time left, so she just wants her son to be by her side.
There was no point in trying to save her or not. He had the idea of abolishing her, and no matter what the reason was, it had already broken her heart.
However, she did not let the Crown Princess come over because she was about to die. The Crown Princess was pregnant and about to give birth, and she did not want her to be infected with the disease.
The most important thing is that the princess knows medical skills and her medical skills are very exquisite. She can see that she has no desire to survive.
Looking back on the years she had been in the palace, she had lived a really miserable life. No matter whether she was dignified and virtuous in the past or her current bleak situation, she had never been truly happy.
Everything is a last resort.
Nangong Yitian brought Tianen and Si Nian to accompany her. The children were well-behaved and sensible, which comforted the queen a little.
Si Nian lay on the bedside, exposed his little head and said, "Grandmother, you must take the medicine obediently. You will be fine after taking the medicine. Si Nian still needs to take medicine now, but Si Nian will be very good." "
The queen couldn't help but burst into tears. This child had suffered too much.
She stretched out her hand, stroked Si Nian's little head, and said distressedly: "Sinian, be good. Grandmother will learn from Si Nian's example and take medicine well."
"When Grandma Huang gets better, Si Nian will take you fishing. I can fish now." Si Nian said proudly.
