It was suspended in the marquis's mansion for seventy-49 days. It was not until the autumn leaves slowly fell that the blue marquis was officially buried. On the day he was buried, the whole capital fell into a miserable atmosphere.
Lin Su stood on the highest stand of Fuliu Hall, looked at the defense line outside the palace from afar, and whispered to Concubine Chen beside her, "Is this also a grand funeral?"
"A great minister, after all, Lord Blue used to be a great minister." There was a trace of calm in Concubine Chen's voice, and it seemed that she did not sigh much about these changes in the outer palace. She sat at the stone table behind Lin Su, drinking tea, with an unhappy smile on her face, and greeted Lin Su, "You'd better sit down and drink tea. After all, the weather is a little cold now."
"Yes." Lin Su answered with a smile, turned around and sat over, picked up a piece of tea and took a sip. Then he whispered, "When the imperial doctor went to Lan's house, I once promised him one thing that Concubine Chen should know."
Princess Chen paused slightly to pour tea for Lin Su, and then put down the teacup with a smile and pushed the teacup in the direction of Lin Su.
"He told me and told me that he was afraid he couldn't take care of me in the future." There was a trace of melancholy in Concubine Chen's tone, and she did not name who "he" was. However, both Lin Su and the others know it.
"Can't I take care of you in the future?" Lin Su was really surprised. She carefully observed the expression on Chen Fei's face, but didn't get any clue, so she could only ask, "Why?"
Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Su. This time, Lin Su saw something in her eyes. It seems that... She was a little uncertain, but Concubine Chen did not respond to her words. She just changed the topic and whispered, "So, when can I leave?"
"The day of the emperor's sacrifice." Lin Su opened his mouth lightly, a little careless, and was still thinking about the previous look of Chen Fei's look at her. You don't appear in front of others all year round. On that day, you can plead in front of the empress dowager, the imperial concubine, and the emperor, saying that you dreamed of the former emperor and wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the spirit of the emperor. If you stay there for more than half a year, you can find a chance to 'die'..."
Concubine Chen widened her eyes in an instant and looked at Lin Su in disbelief. Lin Su shook his head and didn't go on. She has said it bluntly enough, and this is what Concubine Chen did in those years. However, she doesn't know whether Concubine Chen really died or went away.
After sending away Concubine Chen, Lin Su went down from the high platform and returned to the ** of the inner hall to lie down and rest.
Afu, who was able to walk slowly and sway by himself, led the more shaky A Ling to the inner hall and watched Lin Su, who was lying on his side, leaning over.
"Mother..."
"Nian..." A Ling's cry was still a little unclear, "Mother, hug."
Lin Su got up and carried the two children to ** one by one and lay beside her. Then she signaled the wet nurse who nervously followed her to retreat. "I'll just accompany them."
The wet nurse retreated, and Lin Su then pulled on the quilt to cover the two little guys, and then looked sideways at the two of them and said, "Did you listen to Mammy's words today? Eat well."
"Yes, mother, Ah Fu ate... dumplings." Afu, who is only one and a half years old, speaks as well as a two or three-year-old child, "And soup, sweet."
"A Ling...Eat..." A Ling doesn't speak so well, but it's much better than children of this age. Si Yu likes to tease these two children every time he comes to Fuliu Hall, and he will laugh from time to time.
Lin Su now listens to the two little guys talking to her intermittently, and sometimes even answers that the bull's head is not right, but she is still very happy. The depression that had been squeezed in her heart for a long time slowly dissipated, and a sincere smile appeared on her face. She lay beside the two children and put her arms around them and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already a little dark, and the two children had already woken up from a nap. I don't know if it's because of her company that the two children sat quietly and played together without making noise.
Seeing Lin Su wake up, A Ling immediately climbed over with his hands and feet, "Mom, I'm hungry."
Lin Su got up slightly and shouted outside. Chunyan, who was guarding outside, immediately came in and helped Lin Su get up and said, "The two little masters have been awake for a long time. The maidservants wanted to take them out, but they insisted on staying here with their master.
Lin Su nodded, reached out and gently touched the faces of the two little guys in turn, and then whispered, "Wait a minute, can I have dinner with my mother later?"
"Good." Afu led A Ling to sit by the bedside, quietly watched Chunyan change Lin Su's clothes, and honestly sat aside and asked Fujiang and Xinrui, who followed them to put on their coats and shoes.
The mother and son washed together and waited for them to go out. Xia Yan had already commanded the little girls to cook. Surrounded and seated, Lin Su first motioned the two little guys what to do.
The two little guys did the same with the help of Fujiang and Xinrui. The small appearance and clumsy movements made Lin Su smile all the time. When everything was finished, the little maid next to her brought porridge. Lin Su took it over, took a spoon and put it on his lips to cool down, and then sent it to Ah Fu's lips. The second bite was given to A Ling, and a small bowl of porridge was fed clean alternately, and the two little guys said that they were full together.
Seeing this, Lin Su signaled the waiter to take the two children aside to play, and then took a bowl of porridge again prepared by Chunyan and ate it with the light and hot dishes.
I don't know if they slept with Lin Su during the afternoon break to make the two little guys particularly like it. At night, they actually stumbled to Lin Su's inner hall barefoot after changing their clothes.
"Mother, the two little masters won't sleep, and I can't stop them." Fu Jiang and Xinrui looked awkwardly at Lin Su, who was washing up. "The two little masters have been noisy for a long time. No matter how much the wet nurse coaxed them, they refused to sleep, saying that they wanted to see you."
"Are you two not good?" Lin Su sat on the cloth and turned down at the two little guys, motioning Fu Jiang to pick them up and put them in ** first, and then said, "Why don't you sleep?"
"There is no... no mother." A Ling said this sentence almost word by word and earnestly.
Lin Su couldn't help laughing. She walked over with her hair and held the two children in her arms for a while, then loosened slightly and whispered, "Even if you miss your mother, you can't be so disobedient. You see, Sister Fujiang and Sister Xinrui are sweating anxiously. In the future, you should be obedient. If you want to accompany your mother, tell the sisters who are with you, okay?"
