Chapter 319 Crying
After dawn, the palace rang the bell announcing the collapse of the mountain mausoleum, and the notice of the Ministry of Ceremonies also went down to each house. Officials above five grades and women above three grades in Kaiping Mansion immediately entered the palace to cry.
Just in the middle of the day, the Qian'an Hall was full of mourning women. Li Xiaoyao knelt in the front of the front rows and lay on the ground, listening to the different tones of high and low crying behind him. His heart was inexplicably sour and sad. In his mind, there was a burst of footsteps in front of him. Li Xiaoyao carefully raised his head. Point, on the bright gold brick floor in front of you, two pairs of exquisite fine hemp shoes come over. In fact, you don't need to look at it. There is no one else who dares to walk around at this time.
"These women are all old and virtuous people. How can they kneel in the wind? In such a cold day, if one or two people get frozen, won't it hurt the emperor's benevolence and righteousness? Queen Guo's voice suddenly sounded eight degrees higher than usual. Li Xiaoyao's body stiffened and didn't care much. He hurriedly looked up at Wei in front of him. Wei had straightened his upper body and was turning his head to look at the secret women kneeling behind him.
"You are too careless! You are the crown princess, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. At this time, do you still have to worry about me, an old woman? It's okay if you don't pay attention to everything. Today, there are old people inside and outside the hall. Why are you so careless? You can't just care about yourself!" Guo Hou's words became more and more rude. Wei's face changed from purple to pale. Li Xiaoyao was stunned. Su Ziyi had not yet ascended the throne. Wei is not the hostess in this palace. If she wants to be the director, she has to be ordered by Guo Hou. Such an obvious reason is here. Can Guo Hou actually blame for such a thing?! Li Xiaoyao couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. When he encountered such a thing, Wei was really a scholar and could not reason at all! Sometimes, such a bastard fist is really useful and makes people unable to pick it up!
"What the mother blames is that it is the daughter-in-law's negligence, which makes people add a few more charcoal basins outside the hall. In addition, the rituals outside the hall are agreed by the Ministry of Ceremonies and can't move without permission. The daughter-in-law makes people look for the person in charge outside to talk about whether they are old enough to see if they can add a cushion, add a stove, and change clothes. Chen also saw if it could be relaxed. In the extremely quiet hall, Wei's gentle voice was extremely clear, and Li Xiaoyao was secretly relieved. Sure enough, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law who was personally picked by filial piety were extremely qualified.
Guo Hou, with anger, gave a heavy 'hum', turned around, staggered a few steps and knelt to the ground, complaining about the kindness of the former emperor and his life.
Wei stood up slowly, but Guo did not kneel down with Guo. He moved a few steps and turned back. He stood beside Wei and explained in a low voice, "My sister also knows that the late emperor and his aunt are deeply in love. Now the mountain mausoleum collapsed, and my aunt..." Guo pressed the corners of his eyes with a veil and choked twice before he continued to say, "I can't wait. I went with the emperor, and my aunt was also too sad. Sister, don't take it to heart.
"This is inappropriate," Wei replied gently, "My mother pitys all the wives. This is the mother's virtue. Besides, there are no parents in the world. Even if they have been blamed, it is also right. How can she say such a thing as a daughter-in-law?" Guo's face stiffened for a moment, lowered his eyes and bent his knees. He knelt back to Guo Hou without saying a word. Li Xiaoyao bowed down regularly and continued to cry with the rhythm.
Not many meetings, the general manager of the front hall rushed in and conveyed Su Ziyi's instructions: "The prince ordered: Now it is the twelfth winter, the ground is extremely cold, and the former emperor is compassionate and generous. If you see everyone crying and frostbite, you will feel uneasy, in order not to hurt the former emperor's benevolence. Thick, give each person a thick cushion, a hand stove, and change clothes every hour. The prince also said that the queen is old and has always been weak. Please also think of the third brother's childhood, cherish yourself, and cry can sit on the chair. After the servant passed the message, the little waiter next to him had moved an armchair. Li Xiaoyao quickly stood up and followed Wei to help Guo. Guo hurried forward, grabbed Guo from Li Xiaoyao's hand and helped her sit in the armchair.
Li Xiaoyao stepped back and breathed a sigh of relief. According to the etiquette discussed by the Ministry of Ceremonies, the crying spirit had to cry for seven days. Now with a cushion, a hand stove, and another hour to rest for half an hour, this life is much better.
The next day, Su Ziyi ordered the fifty-old women to go back to cry. For the rest of the day, they cried for a few days, and they were exhausted.
When changing clothes, it gradually elongated. Li Xiaoyao leaned against the armchair with a pale face and slowly drank a bowl of ginseng soup. Su Yuru sat next to her. After drinking ginseng soup, she ate a piece of vegetarian cake and rinsed her mouth. She turned to see that there was no one else in the hall. She leaned against Li Xiaoyao and said in a low voice, "The imperial doctor said that Cao Guifei was Too sad, alas, look, it's still... Blessing the ancestors, usual, what's wrong with the noble concubine? It's even more troublesome to hire a doctor!"
Li Xiaoyao turned her head and looked at Su Yuru. In the past few days, Su Yuru has been talking about these words with her. Su Yuru and Cao Guifei's feelings and this thought were as bright as a mirror in her heart. Su Yuru was slightly uncomfortable to be seen by Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao picked out a smile at the corners of her mouth and hurriedly, and lowered her head and said in a low voice: " Sister is really. You and the prince are brothers and sisters. What's hard to say?
Su Yuru was bored for a long time, breathed gently, looked at Li Xiaoyao and said frankly, "I don't hide it from you. My eldest brother is fine, but he is more ruthless. It's not that Cao Guifei is sad in the palace. It's not that I haven't told him. I've already said it! I also know that if it's my own business, he will definitely not ignore it, but... how can he look at these people in the palace? Li Xiaoyao was stunned and couldn't speak for a moment. She didn't intend to care...
Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a long time before turning her head and looked at Su Yuru and whispered, "The former emperor treated Cao Guifei with great affection. Now that the former emperor is gone, Cao Guifei must want to follow her with death, but this will hurt the former emperor's benevolence and generosity. It must not work. Cao Guifei's heart is dead, and her heart is like dead ashes, and she must want to give up her life. Buddhism guarded the former emperor and prayed for the country and the people for the rest of his life. When the noble concubine is a monk, she naturally wants to repair the nunnery. The princess might as well ask this envoy to choose a suitable place for the nunnery.
Su Yuru blinked her eyes, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and her eyes were full of smiles. After a long time, she put down her hand and looked at Li Xiaoyao and whispered, "Sure enough! Why didn't I think of this? What did you think of this? That's it! I'll send the letter back, and I have to find someone to write this fold!"
"And!" Li Xiaoyao stretched out his hand to hold Su Yuru: "There is another one. It's easy to do. Besides, the two also have a companion."
"It's easy! Later, I looked for her and whispered that if she was willing, it was just a lot of compromises. Su Yuru readily agreed. Li Xiaoyao picked the corners of his mouth and watched Su Yuru walk out of the door briskly. After sitting for a while, she got up and went back to cry again.
After crying for seven days, Li Xiaoyao came out unkemptly. Dongping had been guarding the palace gate for a long time. Mother Zhang helped Li Xiaoyao get into the car. Li Xiaoyao fell into the carriage and sighed in a low voice: "M Mother, it's the same as death!"
"Well, this is the princess's filial piety." Mother Zhang said with a smile. Li Xiaoyao raised her finger and motioned to go back quickly. As soon as Mother Zhang knocked on the car plate, a quick report from Nanning came from outside: "Master is out." Mother Zhang hurriedly got out of the car. Su Zicheng had already stepped in front of the car, lifted the curtain and looked in. Without pedaling, she jumped into the car with one hand and patted the carriage. The car started steadily and ran back to Liang Wangfu.
Li Xiaoyao moved aside and waved his hand to signal, "Don't lean over! It's all like this... It's all taste!" Su Zicheng looked down at himself in disgust. He opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. If he thought it was dirty, he was unfilial!
Li Xiaoyao washed it four or five times in a row. He only washed it red all over before he changed his clothes and came out. After drinking a bowl of walnut cheese, Su Zicheng washed it out. He took a few sips of the bowl of walnut cheese and poured it down next to Li Xiaoyao. Only then did the two feel a little popular.
Su Zicheng exhaled a few times, raised his arm and pulled Li Xiaoyao to speak, but found that Li Xiaoyao was breathing for a long time. In the blink of an eye, he was already asleep. Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and laughed dumbly. He sat up and gently picked up Li Xiaoyao and put him in the room**. He stood by the bed for most days, came out to change his clothes and got on the horse. I went outside the city to inspect the garrison in Gyeonggi.
It was not until the people were close that Su Zicheng rushed back to the house. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly greeted him and went to the clothes for him. Looking at Begonia's cooking, Su Zicheng washed out and ate, so that the two of them could drink tea and talk.
"Has the day of the prince's accession to the throne been set?" Li Xiaoyao leaned on Su Zicheng and asked casually. Su Zicheng said, "You can listen to political deliberations in three days according to the ceremony. The royal ceremony is naturally different from that of the people, but the eldest brother is too sad. He doesn't want to see Jifu early. He must go to ascend the throne after Xiaoxiang."
"Well, it's not a big deal to be one day later. Did Qin Tianjian take good care of the days of Feng'an?"
"Not yet, Qin Tianjian hasn't returned to Dongling, that is, in March and April after the New Year." Su Zicheng replied sadly. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at him, thought about it, pulled him, and said his idea to Cao Guifei in a low voice. Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and stopped for a long time before laughing, "Love is heavy! How does Queen Guo deal with herself? I heard that Guo had an attack on his sister-in-law?
"Well," Li Xiaoyao sighed distressed, "How do you think the former emperor entrusted the third prince to me? I can't sleep when I think about it!" Su Zicheng took Li Xiaoyao and smiled and said, "It's okay. I told the eldest brother that my father is like this, and he is always too worried." Li Xiaoyao sighed for a long time. She didn't think that the previous emperor was too worried. The previous emperor was smart. Such a mother and other family should not worry too much!
