The process of haircut ceremony remains unchanged from ancient times.

After the ceremony, the host's family prepared a banquet for the guests who came to watch the ceremony.

There was a harmonious atmosphere at the banquet, chatting and laughing, and having a good time.

Princess Qing saw Mrs. Prince Anding and said, "Princess Jin, come to think of it, you should call Mrs. Prince Anding your sister-in-law."

"Don't dare to take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Mrs. Anding Hou Shizi waved her hands quickly.

"There's nothing you shouldn't do. Princess Jin is the one who calls your sister-in-law sister respectfully. In terms of etiquette, she and your sister-in-law are sisters. You should treat Princess Jin just like your sister-in-law."

Prince Qing's concubine's words were full of malice.

Everyone knows that Jiang Changning is the second wife of the King of Jin, and the second wife must be treated as a concubine in front of the original wife's tablet.

However, after Concubine Pu's death, the Jin Prince's Palace and the Anding Marquis Palace almost broke off all contact.

After the King of Jin remarried, he did not take Jiang Changning to visit the Marquis Mansion of Anding.

Although the various mansions did not know what happened between the two mansions, since the King of Jin ignored the Anding Marquis Mansion and respected Jiang as his first wife, the others also knew enough not to mention such things as stepmother and first wife.

As the saying goes, you don’t slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don’t expose someone’s shortcomings when you scold someone.

Princess Qing raised this topic today because she wanted to step on Jiang Changning to death.

Jiang Changning's expression remained as usual. She was the step-mother in the first place, and it would not change the fact if she didn't mention it.

As for the concubine ceremony in front of Concubine Pu's memorial tablet, although there are three Jin princes in the Jin Palace, they are still second-generation princes and have a close bloodline to the emperor, so there is no ancestral hall in the palace.

The tablets of the old and former Jin kings are in the clan ancestral hall, and the tablets of Qiao and Concubine Pu are enshrined in a quiet room in the mansion.

When Jiang Changning's grandson becomes the King of Jin and an ancestral hall is set up in the palace, their memorial tablets will be invited in.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether Jiang Changning is still alive or not, but he still behaves like a concubine.

Of course, whether or not concubine etiquette is acceptable is one thing, but the concubine of Prince Qing is disgusting is another matter entirely.

"Speaking of etiquette, I happen to have something to ask the Crown Princess for advice." Jiang Changning put down the spoon in his hand and lightly pressed the corner of his lower lip with the handkerchief.

"Prince Jin is the Minister of Rites. You need to ask me for advice on etiquette matters." Prince Qing's concubine guessed that Jiang Changning was going to bring up her son's concubinage again, so she wanted to change the subject.

How could Jiang Changning fulfill her wish and said with a smile: "The concubine that your son has adopted is said to be the daughter of the imperial concubine's biological sister. I wonder if the imperial concubine and your sister will still be relatives in the future?"

The Crown Princess of Qing insists on recognizing a relative for her, so don't blame her for losing a relative.

This question is not difficult to answer, but Princess Qing cannot say that her natal family is not a relative.

Her sister was young and ignorant, and had an affair with a merchant, so she had no choice but to marry low, and now she is helping Prince Qing's family make money.

Originally, her sister had already suspected that the concubinage was a plot by her. If she said in public that she was not a relative, no matter how hard she tried to remedy it, it would be useless.

Princess Qing was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Mrs. Anding Hou Shizi looked at the two of them. This was really a fight between gods and the devil would suffer. She hurriedly walked away quietly while the two of them were not paying attention.

At this time, Princess Yi Ya happened to come over, "Why have you stopped eating chopsticks? But the food doesn't taste good?"

"How come it doesn't suit your taste? The dishes are full of flavor, flavor and delicious." Someone commented.

With this step, Princess Qing no longer needs to answer Jiang Changning's questions.

Mrs. Anding Hou Shizi has walked away, and Jiang Changning no longer needs to call her sister-in-law.

For a moment, the conversation and laughter started again, as if the unpleasant incident just now had never happened at all.

After the banquet, the guests took their leave and went home.

Jiang Changning did not tell the concubine what happened at the princess residence.

If she has a grudge, she will avenge it on the spot, there is no need for the concubine to get involved.

Entering June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Jiang Changning lies on the jade mat and shakes his fan feebly, "It's so hot. It seems to be hotter this year than in previous years."

"The weather is a bit sultry, maybe it's going to rain." Xiulan came in with a bowl of chilled bird's nest soup, "Princess, have a bowl to relieve the heat."

"Such a small bowl is enough, please give me an extra bowl." Jiang Changning took the bowl, finished it after three times, divided it by two, and handed the empty bowl to Xiulan.

"Cold food, Princess, you can't eat too much." Xiulan went out with the empty bowl.

Jiang Changning lay down on the mat and lamented: "It would be great if there was air conditioning!"

In this day and age, having air conditioning is definitely a luxury.

What Jiang Changning could do was to put a few more ice basins in the room and bring in a crank fan.

Hot weather is quite unfriendly to the elderly.

Just one day before Concubine Runan's birthday, an old concubine in the palace died of illness at the age of sixty-three.

This old concubine was Xiaozong's concubine, and the emperor called her Emperor Xiangfei.

The old concubine passed away. Although it was not a state mourning, the emperor issued a decree: no banquets and music were allowed in any noble house for one year, and no marriages were allowed for common people in three months.

Concubine Runan's birthday banquet cannot be held.

Guzhongjiao's wish to marry Chen Dingding on the sixth day of August has become a luxury.

The various palaces tidied up, put on plain clothes, and went into the palace to mourn.

Five princes' mansions, five county princes' mansions, eight princess's mansions, four prince's mansions, five county prince's mansions, six prince's mansions, and dozens of other royal relatives, noble families, and officials of third rank or above.

.

At the palace gate, there were crowds of people and horses, but there was no noise. There was a loud noise outside the palace gate, which frightened the holy driver. It was a serious crime of beheading.

The carriages from Prince Jin's Palace and those from Prince De's Palace were lined up together. Princess De was a bit fat and wore thin clothes in the palace. She had to wear court clothes when entering the palace, and she was sweating profusely from the heat.

She wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "It's such a hot day, can't the coffin be left there for too long?"

"But it has to be done for at least seven days. Back then, Concubine Qi was allowed to do it for seven days." Princess Jin said, fanning herself.

"The Qin Tian Supervisor checked the days and ordered the spirit to be suspended for fourteen days." Prince Concubine De Wang said in a low voice.

Princess De was stroking her forehead. In the palace, she stayed in a house with an ice basin. It was still too hot. Now she went to the palace to cry, guarding the basin and burning paper.

For fourteen days, she wore such thick clothes and went to the palace to cry every day. She suddenly felt that her eyes were black and she wanted to faint.

But no matter how hot it is, the crying spirit can't help but go away.

The King of Hell wants people to die at the third watch, but who can keep them alive until the fifth watch?

We can't complain that the old concubine died at an untimely time.

"Here comes Bu Zhu." There were too many people entering the palace.

Jiang Changning and Princess Dewang helped their mother-in-law onto the bus, and then they got on the other bus.

Soon they arrived at the palace where the spirit was set up. Jiang Changning stepped down from the steps and stepped forward to help the concubine.

Before several people entered the palace, they heard crying.

Entering the palace, you will see a circle of ice basins placed around the old concubine's golden coffin to prevent the old concubine's body from rotting.

The smell of fireworks, incense, and sandalwood from burning paper money mixed together to create an indescribable strange smell that made people very uncomfortable.

Jiang Changning couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, as did Prince De's concubine.

Princess Jin and Princess De acted as if they had not heard the smell, and their expressions did not change at all. They took the incense handed to them by the palace maid and stepped forward to offer it.
