Wind and Rain Empire

When the sun rises, the sun shines on the main entrance of Huangyi Hall, and the chilling white of the curtain is particularly dazzling

In the center of the curtain hall set up in the hall, there is a spiritual tablet engraved with the words "Empress Gongshu Han"

The emperor sits in front of the hall, wearing filial piety clothes, kneeling around the coffin, the princes, princesses and concubines keep filial piety for the queen

Zi Linglong and the four concubines Xiangui Deshu are kneeling on one side, and Princess Yongping, Lan Xueyi, and Prince Chenfeng are kneeling on the other side

At the beginning, crying could be heard from time to time in the hall, but after a long time, the crying subsided

The emperor rested his head on the throne and covered his face without showing any expression, while Princess Yongping dozed off on her knees, and Lan Xueyi, who was kneeling next to her, supported her

After being supported by Lan Xueyi, Princess Yongping looked at Lan Xueyi with sleepy eyes, and whispered

"...Sister Xueyi..."

Lan Xueyi also asked her in a low voice

"Yongping, why are you dozing off? Didn't you sleep last night?"

Yongping nodded

"Well, I cried all night last night, and I was called up by the palace man (yawn) after not sleeping for long."

"Then can you hold on now? I don't know how long you will hold on"

Lan Xueyi looked around, and the others also had their own expressions

Princess Yongping shook her head

"This princess is too sleepy, and I will go to see the queen mother if I hold on..."

Lan Xueyi quickly stuck out her tongue

"Bah, bah, wait a little longer, I'll find a chance"

She looked at Zi Linglong on the opposite side

At this moment, Zi Linglong was also kneeling with a blank expression on her face, not knowing what she was thinking

Lan Xueyi took out a small piece of broken silver from his sleeve, and flicked it out with his fingers, but the force was slightly off, and the broken silver hit Concubine De beside Zi Linglong.

Concubine De was probably distracted too, she couldn't help but groaned softly after being hit by the silver on her sleeve

"what!"

All eyes are on Concubine De

Concubine De quickly covered her mouth.

Lan Xueyi secretly said "it's not good" and bowed to Concubine De far away, expressing embarrassment

Concubine De was so frightened that she hiccupped, making a "hiccup, hiccup" sound from time to time.

After Zi Linglong heard Concubine De's belch, she hurriedly asked Concubine De to press the Tiantu acupoint to stop, while Concubine Shu beside De Concubine cried out hungry again

The noble concubine kneeling next to Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Shu

The princess asked softly

"Sister Concubine Shu, are you hungry?"

Concubine Shu rolled her eyes at the sky

"That's right, you don't know about the imperial concubine. My sister knelt here when she was called up. It's too late now. I'm afraid my sister will go to accompany the empress soon."

The imperial concubine patted Concubine Shu's hand

"Sister, hold on for a while, you will probably be able to eat at Youshi"

Concubine Shu almost fainted when she heard that

"You hour? Then there are still two hours, sister, I'm afraid it won't last that long..."

The noble concubine didn't know how to persuade Concubine Shu, so she kept her mouth shut

Concubine De and Concubine Shu are belching and the other is crying

Zi Linglong finally noticed that Lan Xueyi was making faces at herself, and when she saw Lan Xueyi pointing at Princess Yongping who was dozing beside her, she sighed and signaled Lan Xueyi to use Princess Yongping as a cover

Zi Linglong Spoken Language + Sign Language

"You and her, go out!"

Lan Xueyi Spoken Language + Sign Language

"How to do it? (spread hands)"

Zi Linglong thought of

"So stupid, I can't make excuses"

so she yelled

"Princess Yongping, are you okay!"

Princess Yongping woke up from fright, was hugged by Lan Xueyi and pressed her eyes

Lan Xueyi yelled together

"No, the princess has fainted! (Whispers in Princess Yongping's ear) You pretend to be fainted, don't wake up"

The emperor came back to his senses when he heard the yelling, got off the throne, and hurried to Princess Yongping

Princess Yongping pretended to faint

The emperor came in a hurry

"What's going on? Ping'er? Ping'er!"

Lan Xueyi holds Princess Yongping in her arms

"Father, Yongping said that she was hungry and sleepy, and she couldn't bear it any longer."

The emperor looked at the kneeling people around him, feeling incredible

"Who asked you to kneel here? I just want to mourn the queen by myself. What are you doing next? Go down and rest."

Those who were kneeling on the ground stood up and walked out of the hall one after another.

Princess Yongping was also carried away by the palace people on a chariot

Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong walked out of the hall together, saw Concubine De and greeted her

Lan Xueyi Arched Road

"I'm really sorry for scaring you, Concubine De, and making you hiccup all the time."

Seeing that it was Lan Xueyi, Concubine De made a joke

"The general is really good at it. Once he caused someone to burp, I admire it. If it wasn't for the beautiful sister who rescued the siege, I don't know how long the hiccup would last. I also want to thank you two for saving the royal family in this palace." What about relatives?"

Zi Linglong Road

"Where, where, I wanted to come to mourn the empress, but unexpectedly there were so many people kneeling in the room, and there were even officials. If he didn't leave, everyone would not dare to leave." She looked at Lan Xueyi with a smile

Defei thumbs up

"So thanks to the wit of the two, if there is a chance next time, please invite the general and the beautiful sister to sit in the palace and let's chat together."

Zi Linglong salutes

"Thank you, sister, for your kindness."

Lan Xueyi smiled lightly and nodded

After the sacrifice, a huge procession set out from the city gate

The Royal Street was full of palace people seeing off, carrying the queen's coffin through the street

People in filial piety stood on both sides of the road and sprinkled paper money, and palace servants holding black and white banners passed by one by one.

In the end, the queen's coffin was buried in Yongmao Mausoleum in Zangong Mountain, Gaobu Town, Shaoxing

Blue General's Mansion

After finishing the queen's funeral, Lan Xueyi returned to the mansion, and saw that the yard was dark, only Wang Yuhe's room was lit

Lan Xueyi slapped his forehead, thinking

"Oops, I was so busy that I forgot to buy a lock!"

Wang Yuhe pushed open the door when she heard the movement, and looked at Lan Xueyi in the yard.

She approached Lan Xueyi with a lamp and asked

"Xueyi, why did you come back? Have you eaten yet?"

Lan Xueyi walks towards Wang Yuhe

"Wang Ma, do you mean lunch or dinner?"

"Referring to the most recent meal"

"Lunch is fasting in the palace, and dinner is next door to the Spring Garden on the street."

"Spring Garden?"

Wang Yuhe thought for a while, then put on a serious face and asked

"Have you gone to the Spring Garden?"

Lan Xueyi touched his neck

“I said it was next door”

"The next door to Chunmanyuan is Huamanlou! Why did you go to Huamanlou! (Begins to mutter) I said that you are a big girl, and it is fine to dress up as a man, and you are always with those old and unscrupulous officials in the court." Masters go to this courtyard or that courtyard, this girl or that girl, you have to figure it out... (interrupted)"

Lan Xueyi sighed

"Oh, Wang Ma, Chunmanyuan has more than one neighbor. Huamanlou is the one on the left, and I'm talking about the one on the right. Let's talk about fasting during the national mourning period!"

Wang Yuhe thought about it

"The one on the right is a restaurant, what's it called?"

"Yeah, I just can't remember the name."

Wang Yuhe knocked her head

"It's really strange. I passed by tomorrow, but I just don't remember the name. Is it the one diagonally opposite the Caishi entrance?"

"That's why I told you that it's next door to Chunman Garden."

Wang Yuhe's suspicious eyes

"Hey, Xueyi, have you ever been to Chunmanyuan and Huamanlou?"

Lan Xueyi took out the red bean cake wrapped in paper from his sleeve, and said while eating

"Been there"

Wang Yuhe was shocked, staring at Lan Xueyi

"You really have been there!"

Lan Xueyi casually shook his hand

"Oh, what's the matter, isn't it like you said that you went with the officials!"

"What have you been doing?"

After Lan Xueyi finished eating the red bean cake, he threw the wrapping paper back into the dustpan in the yard

"Eat and drink a little wine or something"

Wang Yuhe became interested

"What does the girl look like there?"

"What else can I do, isn't it just an ordinary girl?"

Wang Yuhe quickly inquired

"Then you don't have an impressive girl?"

Lan Xueyi looked at Wang Yuhe in confusion

"Why should I be so impressed? I'm not a man"

"So don't go to that kind of place in the future, so as not to cause trouble"

"Wang Ma, do you think I'm willing to go? As soon as I went, I was dragged from east to west by those girls. Once I came up, there were several of them. It's so annoying."

Wang Yuhe smiled smugly

"Who told our family Xueyi that you are handsome, it's rare to find another person in Lin'an Mansion! (Pinch Lan Xueyi's face)"

Lan Xueyi sighed

"Oh, what's the use of that?"

Wang Yuhe quickly replied

"Oh, I forgot if you didn't tell me, she left me a letter for you to read (takes out a letter from her bosom and hands it to Lan Xueyi)"

Lan Xueyi received the letter

"Come on, show me"

Walking into the study while reading the letter

Lan Xueyi sat at the desk and read the letter left by Wan Yanyue

Wan Yanyue's letter said:

"General Lan, the grievances between you and me can no longer be settled with a single sentence, so I, Wanyanyue, intend to put aside the past with you and continue to do our own thing. Wanyanyue is grateful for your several times of life-saving grace, but the country Enemies and family hatred will not disappear just because you and I no longer care about the past. The next time we meet, I don’t know whether it is an enemy or a friend. I hope you will take care of yourself, General, and live until the time when we can have a decisive battle, Wan Yanyue"

Lan Xueyi looked at the letter puzzled, and muttered

"When we were able to decide the outcome? Didn't I beat you many times? Why do you want to decide the outcome? I'm so idle"

So he put the letter in the lamp and burned it.

Prime Minister's Mansion

It started to rain, and the moon was also covered by rain clouds. Zhang Tianyu hid in the house wearing a military uniform, and heard Zhang Haisheng and Zhang Tiancheng arguing

Zhang Haisheng pointed at Zhang Tiancheng and cursed

"You unfilial son, do you have to piss me off to death?"

Zhang Tiancheng talked back

"Father, you are going to be angry, it's none of my business!"

"You naughty son, your wings are stiff, aren't you?"

Zhang Tianyu walked into the inner hall and saw his father and brother arguing, so he coughed

"Ahem, what are you two arguing about at night?"

When Zhang Tiancheng saw his younger brother coming back, he rushed forward to hold Zhang Tianyu

"Hey, Tianyu, you are back, give me a comment quickly (pulls Zhang Tianyu to sit down)"

Zhang Tianyu looked at Zhang Tiancheng with a pair of commonplace eyes, and asked

"Brother, what did you do this time?"

Zhang Tiancheng quickly defended

"I really didn't do anything wrong this time! I just told my father that I want to move out, but he won't let me!"

Zhang Hai was so angry that his beard almost blew up.

"Nonsense, such a big house can't accommodate you? How big are you? You have moved out. Do you know how expensive the rent in the capital is?"

Zhang Tiancheng spreads his hands

"I don't care about the rent!"

Zhang Hai said angrily

"Bullshit! That's because you and I have a royal salary. If you leave this house, you will starve to death outside!"

Zhang Tianyu patted Zhang Tiancheng

"Brother, I'm going to tell you about you. I'm not at home all year round. You and your father still take care of each other at home. Why did you move out?"

Zhang Tiancheng said frankly

"I want to move to live near Xueyi's house so that I can see her every day"

Zhang Hai was so angry that he shook his sleeves

"It's that woman again, so don't worry about her anymore, okay? What's wrong with her?"

Zhang Haisheng turned to Zhang Tianyu and said

"Just two days ago, Matchmaker Liu on East Street sent your brother a bunch of portraits of women and asked him which one he liked. Your brother actually said in front of Matchmaker Liu that those women were vulgar fans, making Liu very angry. The matchmaker turned around and left, what will happen to your brother's marriage after this?"

Zhang Tianyu asked calmly

"Are those portraits still available?"

"some!"

Zhang Tiancheng took out a stack of scrolls from under the table and showed it to Zhang Tianyu

"Here, that's all"

Zhang Tianyu casually flipped through a few pages, and said disdainfully

"It's true that they are all vulgar fans..."

Zhang Haisheng pointed at Zhang Tianyu

"Hey, you, why are you colluding with your brother?"

Zhang Tianyu threw the scroll aside, confidently

"A vulgar fan is a vulgar fan, why, why don't people say it? (Looking at Zhang Haisheng with a smile) Could it be that Dad, who is here?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Haisheng glanced at those scrolls

"Your father and I are already old, but our aesthetics is not old. These women are still not in my eyes."

"Hey, you don't even like yourself, you introduce it to my brother?"

Zhang Tiancheng replied

"That's right! Dad wants me to get married if he doesn't like it himself (pointing to Zhang Haisheng)"

"You guys don't understand this. If you get married, you can find someone who can live a good life, and you can't be reliable by looking at your face."

Zhang Haisheng waved his hand

Zhang Tiancheng vs. Zhang Tianyu

"I don't know who kept saying that our mother was a great beauty back then."

"That's right, if you allow yourself to marry a beautiful woman, and don't allow your son to be a charming mother, you are really a good father."

The two brothers laughed

Zhang Haisheng knew he was wrong, so he changed the subject

"Laugh, laugh, you know how to laugh. Tianyu, how are you doing what the officials asked you to do?"

Zhang Tianyu sighed

"Hey, don't mention my father. In those disaster-prone states, the prefects are useless. They flattered me and didn't do business. After I went there, I was entertained for a day. I had to go to the market, thinking that the officials called me Cut first and play later, I will cut them all, anyway, it’s useless for them to keep it.”

Zhang Haisheng was taken aback

"What? You cut them all?"

Zhang Tianyu found it strange

"Chop it up, why don't you keep it? All of them are corrupt officials. They ransacked their homes and confiscated a lot of money and food, especially the governor of Yongzhou. The concubine married more than 30 houses, and the house was built like a palace. He said he would cut it off, who told him to be greedy, the neighbors all called him 'three quick money'"

Zhang Haisheng is confused

"'Three Quick Money'? Which words?"

Zhang Tianyu laughed

"Let's put it this way, his surname is Qian. One is to build a house quickly, the other is to marry a concubine, and the third is to have children quickly, so he is called 'Three Quick Money'."

Zhang Tiancheng was amazed

"Oh Huo! That's amazing... He was chopped off by you, so what about his concubines?"

"It's all dismissed, otherwise what should I do?"

Zhang Tiancheng looked at Zhang Tianyu

"I thought there would be a few of you entangled"

"Hey, don't tell me, there are really a few people who come here with a shy face, saying that they don't know people and want to change their past... Oh, it's all nonsense"

Zhang Haisheng spoke earnestly to Zhang Tianyu

"Tianyu, you can't use the rights given to you by the government without authorization. You have to carefully consider the matter of killing heads."

"Father, don't worry, Tianyu was murdered only after the witnesses and evidences are complete. These people are well-known corrupt officials in the local area. Tianyu will never let down the trust of the Holy Majesty, and the heads that were removed have been properly kept."

Zhang Tiancheng said in surprise

"What? You keep the head?"

Zhang Tianyu takes it for granted

"Yeah, otherwise I'll go to the emperor at night with a string of corrupt officials' heads?"

Zhang Haisheng asked

"Then where do you keep the heads of those corrupt officials?"

"In the well in the backyard!"

Zhang Tiancheng and Zhang Haisheng asked in unison, "In the well?"

"That's right, aren't those leftovers that are afraid of being spoiled hanging in the well?"

Zhang Haisheng was so angry that he was speechless

"That's leftovers! It's not a dead head! Tomorrow we have to drink water from that well, so why don't you let us drink water that smells like dead brains?"

Zhang Tianyu reacted

"Yes!"

Zhang Haisheng poked Zhang Tianyu's head

"Forget it if you're stupid"

By the well of the prime minister's mansion

Zhang Haisheng, Zhang Tiancheng, and Zhang Tianyu came to the well and saw several wooden boxes tied to the wheel

Zhang Tiancheng looked at the well with the light Zhang Haisheng was carrying, and covered his nose

"Tianyu, how many days have these dead heads been? It's smelly."

"Some have been around for a while, and some have just been picked off"

Zhang Haisheng yelled with a lamp

"Hurry up and get it out, you two! What are you talking about!"

Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Tiancheng were in a hurry, turned the wheel down, and heard two "plops"

The brothers looked at each other without making a sound

Zhang Haisheng was angry

"What's the matter? Did it fall off!"

The two brothers bowed their heads and did not speak

Zhang Haisheng scolded

"Look at the trouble you two fools are doing! What else can you do? (shouting) Come on!"

The servants in the mansion heard the shouts and ran out, and began to salvage

The author has something to say:

Lan Xueyi: I told you about the three idiots in Zhang Haisheng's family

Zi Linglong: I also found out earlier

Zhang Tiancheng: It is generally said that if others are stupid, they are also stupid.

Lan Xueyi: Drag out 20 army sticks!

Zhang Tiancheng: General, spare your life!
