Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 165 Broth

My father could not wait for my mansion in Xingdaofang to be completed, but he waited until the birth of Li Rui's eldest son, who was born in the harem. Wei Huan passed by when he was killed, and when he heard about it, he led the palace official to Li Rui to check with the first two, and found out that he was a descendant of a dragon from the Tian family. , handed over to Wei Huan to raise.

Not long after the emperor's grandson was born, my father gradually became unconscious. My mother ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and called me to the Imperial Palace to watch my father day and night with her.Half a month later, on the first day of April, in this era without April Fool's Day, my father became the first emperor forever.The posthumous edict ordered Prince Rui to ascend the throne in front of the coffin, change the day to the month, and pre-plan political affairs; with three prime ministers assisting the government, if the world's major affairs are not resolved, the Queen of Heaven will be the last.The kings each add one hundred seals, the princesses add fifty, and the hundreds of officials give titles and ranks, and the common people are free from differences.

In my 34 years of life, this is the first time I have truly encountered the death of a loved one.

Regardless of his father's merits and demerits, he really has nothing to say to me and Li Rui.He was almost speechless before he left, but he called Li Rui and me to him, tremblingly put my hand in Li Rui's, then stretched out his hand with a sigh, struggling to touch it. my head.

At that moment, neither Li Rui nor I could hold back our tears.

The palace was quickly put on plain clothes, mother, Li Rui, Wei Huan and I all changed into mourning clothes, Li Rui was outside, mother, Wei Huan, I, and the concubines in the harem who only showed up once in the harem were inside. Under the guidance of the ceremony officer, he went to the funeral according to the ceremony.

According to etiquette, many married elders stood in front of me, separating me from my mother.As a talented person, Wan'er couldn't wait by her mother's side at this moment. Instead, Wei Huan stood with her mother.

I have been silently watching Wei Huan serving his mother diligently in the distance, fulfilling the responsibility of a eldest daughter-in-law. Thinking that she is about to become a queen, there is no disturbance in my heart. When I think of my father occasionally, I sob for a while. When shouting, they kneel or worship with the crowd.

My mother sent two palace servants by my side, holding pills at all times just in case.Wei Huan immediately followed suit and sent a palace guard to guard my place.However, fifteen days later, I still couldn't survive the day and night performance of crying and mourning, and fell down during the kneeling. When I woke up again, I had been moved to the thatched hut in front of the temple, and Ah Qing was the only one beside me. Sitting kneeling in front of me, when I opened my eyes, she walked out, and after a while brought a food box in, opened it with my own hands, and a faint fragrance immediately emanated from the food box.

The aroma of meat.

I looked at this small bowl of broth in horror, and subconsciously wanted to call someone. Ah Qing put the food box aside, took out the bowl, and said respectfully: "Princess, don't be alarmed, this is Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven. Given."

There is actually not much meat in this soup, only three small pieces, pitifully floating in the milky white soup. At first glance, it doesn’t look like a royal meal, but it looks like a free soup from the university cafeteria in the previous life—— The bowl of soup is reminiscent of free, so the color and appearance are naturally needless to say. In normal times, it must not arouse people's appetite at all.

But now I have not eaten meat for fifteen days.

Not only have I never eaten meat, but the diet at these times has no other adjectives other than "rough".

As if not doing so is not enough to prove his filial piety, Li Rui announced that the first emperor was worthy of Yao and Shun. To use rough food, he granted me permission not to be included in the list of bad meals, and he let me take the ingredients, but everyone except me listened to him, the future emperor, so how could I dare to be unconventional?What's more, I'm already married in name, and I'm no longer in the palace for food and drink.

In the end, we not only have to stay here day and night, but also eat only one meal a day - no meat, only simple vegetarian food. A frail person like me is allowed to have a snack in the morning and evening.

I swallowed my saliva, looked at the broth with nostalgia, and resolutely rejected Ah Qing: "Nonsense, how can I use meaty principles when my father is filial?" I squeezed out a few tears, and when I didn't pay attention, I squeezed too many tears, and I knelt down on the ground and sobbed and wailed.

Ah Qing looked at me dumbfounded, and pushed the bowl towards me: "The filial piety is not here at this moment, the princess should drink while it's hot."

Halfway through crying, I felt a little depressed, and while I stood up and touched my chest to rest, I shook my head resolutely: "I won't drink."

She seemed to have never seen me so resolutely resisting the queen's order, she frowned, and went out with her things.

Soon after I waited for her to leave, I quickly got up and went out.People at that time paid the most attention to red tape. Although I was sent to the tent due to illness, it was not easy to stay for too long, otherwise, if someone gently mentioned a sentence and carried a sentence on my back, "The funeral is not allowed. Isn't the reputation of mourning wronged?

I lifted the curtain and went out, Song Foyou and Xiaolang were waiting outside, Xiaolang saw me and said: "The Empress Dowager ordered that Erniang is not busy."

Song Foyou supported me, and said in a low voice: "Etiquette is the point, if the princess can get up, she should go."

I also asked in a low voice: "Who is in front of the spirit now?"

She said: "I don't know." She seemed a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said: "I just saw the prince go in."

I deeply felt that after Wei Huan left, there was no one available around me. I looked at Xiaolang, then at Song Foyou, waved my hands weakly, and when I reached the door, I realized that Li Rui had been entrusted by his mother to rest in the side hall. The older ones also temporarily retired, leaving only Wei Huan with Li Rui's concubines, and the younger women in the clan.

If he went in at this time, he would inevitably be with Wei Huan, and it would be embarrassing to speak, and it would be embarrassing not to speak.

I hesitated for a moment, then turned and went to the side hall.

The mother sat cross-legged on the couch, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her right hand. She closed her eyes and looked extremely tired.Li Rui stood obediently in front of her, with his hands hanging down, as a sign of waiting. Seeing me go to salute, he wanted to help me, but was called "Liu Lang" by his mother, so he could only quickly put away his hands and turned to look at his mother. , but his hand stretched out from the inside of the sleeve and waved upwards, as if to ask me to be polite.

At this moment, the mother opened her eyes and said calmly, "Let her worship you."

I knelt down neatly, and went through all the etiquette that should be done. When I got up again, I took a step behind Li Rui, followed him respectfully and looked at my mother, and heard my mother say: "You are the prince, these trivial matters are self-determination." Yes, don't ask me again."

Li Rui said yes, stood for a while, and saw that his mother had no other orders, so he backed out.

As soon as he left, his mother's tone became more gentle: "I asked Ah Qing to bring you soup, why don't you drink it?——Don't lie to me with those false words, you were born by me, don't I know you yet? "

I peeked around and saw that Ah Qing was not by my mother's side, so I smiled coyly and said to my mother: "At this time, when I wake up, I only see her. I took that bowl of soup and said it was Mother's order, but I don't have any evidence, my son... dare not drink."

I can see clearly that there is no one in this palace who can be completely trusted, anyone can be an eyeliner sent by others, and no matter how long I trust the people around me, there is no guarantee that they will not have their own thoughts.What's more, Li Rui has not yet ascended the throne, and there is a mother watching over him. Outside, there is a concubine Li Sheng who was born by the queen and has been the prince for 20 years, and an older half-brother Li Bin. Even if Ah Qing was the one who sent the message, as long as there was no mother's handwriting, or mother's face-to-face instructions, I would never gamble my reputation and future on this bowl of soup.

Not only was my mother not angry at my cautiousness, but she said with some relief: "It's right that you dare not drink. This is something that Auntie didn't think about. If you want to drink soup in the future, you can come to Auntie's side and drink it up." Go out again and don’t let the second person see you.” Pulling me in front of me, he touched my face lovingly, and sighed: “There are still more than twenty days——I’ll ask someone to prepare some chicken for you If you have time, you can eat one or two pieces, otherwise you will be mourned for this, and your body will be damaged, and you, Ayequan, will not be happy if you know it."

As soon as she mentioned her father, she wiped her eyes again with a handkerchief. The more she wiped, the more tears shed, and she looked at me with red eyes. I was about to cry, but for some reason, there were still tears in the tent just now, but now the tears couldn't flow out. I rubbed in my mother's arms for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back, raised my head, and called out "Auntie".

My mother's tears also stopped. Seeing that there were no tears in my eyes, she raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

I bowed my head and said, "It's just my own little thought, if I make a mistake, please don't punish me, Auntie."

My mother looked at me with a bit of playfulness, and now she looked at me not so much like a loving mother, but more like... more like the way she looked at Li Sheng in the past.My mother didn't respond to my request either, she just tapped the little table on the couch slowly with her fingers, and said for a long time: "Tell me first, and then A Niang will know whether what you said is right or wrong."

I made up my mind, and said without much hesitation: "Now that the late emperor is on a grand tour, the princes and vassals are going to attend funerals, ceremonies, blessings and other matters, and there is an urgent need for decrees to be issued. However, the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, and has not yet issued an edict, so my son pleases everyone." Important matters are all decided by the order of the Empress Dowager, and by the sect, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, the ruling will be made by the imperial edict."

Dingding raised her head to look at her mother, she had stopped moving her fingers, she was silent for a moment with a sullen face, stretched out her hand to pinch my face, and forced out a smile: "Isn't Sizi thinking of this by himself? Who is talking to you?" Did you say that? Tell Aniang."

I shook my head and said, "No one else, it's all my own thinking."

The mother narrowed her eyes and said, "Sizi told Auntie, Auntie doesn't pursue that person, and I don't blame you."

The author has something to say: I looked at her seriously and said: "There is no one else, it's all my own thinking." Afraid that I would be too aggressive, I pursed my lips and said: "Erlang and Shiro are still out of town, my son …Afraid."

With a look of surprise on my mother's face, she hugged me and couldn't help stroking the back of my head with her hands. She pressed her forehead against my forehead and wiped it lightly back and forth a few times, revealing a feeling that should never be seen during filial piety. With a hearty smile: "Sizi has grown up."

The day after tomorrow update at seven in the morning...

One of Wanqing's practical debate lessons

(serious OOC warning)

Zetian: Wan'er, according to the customs of my Tang Dynasty, the late Emperor Daxing, a barren concubine like you will be sent to become a nun.Where do you think I should send you?Ganye Temple?White Horse Temple?

Wan'er: But when His Majesty ascends the throne, it is not Tang, but Zhou.

Zetian: ...It seems to make sense.

Wan'er: And as the founding monarch of the country, shouldn't His Majesty abolish the bad habits of burials and letting wives and concubines become monks, and unite all the forces that can be united in order to stabilize the foundation of the country?

Zetian: ...It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, so forget it...wait, I just wanted a nun to play at first.
