[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

On the third day of April, the bells in the palace rang through the long night, and the emperor died without a trace.

The Ministry of Rites discussed at the court, and the posthumous posthumous title was "Zhuang".

According to the old practice, the emperor and the empress were buried together in the imperial mausoleum after a grand visit.However, Emperor Zhuang left a decree to bury the imperial mausoleum alone, separated from the mausoleum where the former empress was buried, and never saw each other again.

Numerous elderly palace maids lamented that the late emperor and the late empress had loved each other for decades, and when the late empress passed away, the late emperor was deeply grieved. He never thought that it would end like this now.

The courtiers of the princes and his wife entered the court to comfort them for 49 days.

The concubine Zhaoming and the grandson concubine Xu led their wives to pay homage, and the whole country mourned.

Since Jia Min didn't have a royal order, she only had to worship at home, dressed in plain sackcloth, and occasionally read books and lectures with her three children; all marriages were forbidden during the national mourning period. Therefore, it was postponed until after the national mourning.

Now that the emperor's grandson has successfully succeeded to the throne, the bloody battle for the throne of Emperor Zhuang once came to an end.

The concubine Mu of Zhaoming was appointed as the empress dowager, and the grandson concubine Xu was registered as the empress.

Yanyu remembered that when Yu Ming was in the South Academy, he had drawn a peony lottery.

The peony is the king of flowers, and now Yu Ming has become the queen who has become the mother of the world, and she is suitable for the peony.

Jia Min regretted that she never listened to Mrs. Zhao's words and settled Yanyu's marriage as soon as possible; she thought that there were still two years before Jiji, and it would not be too late to choose carefully, but she didn't think that there would be a national funeral suddenly, instead it would be delayed.

After the funeral, Yanyu met Mu Yun again, and he said that he had just returned from Yangzhou and went to pay homage to Mu Chun.

Suddenly hearing Mu Yun mention Zhuang Mu, Yan Yu's expression dimmed a little: "Chun'er will definitely be reborn in a happy and good family in the next life, and his life will be smooth."

"It's because I'm too useless, let Shu'er be killed, and also implicate the old lady Zhuang and the innocent people in Liangguang Temple." Mu Yun blamed herself very much.

"People's fate is predestined long ago, just like you know the fate of the old prince and princess, but you can't prevent the Pingfeng Rebellion from happening. It's like you knew that Chun'er would be killed by others, but you There is still no way to keep Chun'er." Yanyu knew in her heart that it was useless to persuade him, she could only make him face the reality.

But Mu Yun shook his head: "But we have indeed changed our destiny. Now it is the grandson who succeeds the emperor, not King Zhao; King Zhao has passed away long ago, and King Jin has also been deposed." However, his expression suddenly became special. Ugly, "If fate is destined to be irreversible, the heirs of King Zhao are the biggest threat."

Yanyu nodded in agreement with his words: "So you should make plans early. Whether it is the heirs of King Zhao or King Jin, they are the biggest threat; since ancient times, there have been fathers and sons, and brothers and brothers. He is the eldest grandson of the first emperor, so in the eyes of those who are interested, his name is not justified."

Even though King Zhao's eldest son is still an ignorant child, his mother is the Xue family, so there are bound to be many uncertainties.

Xue Song was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Anyang, and his son Xue Bing was the Marquis of Anyang. However, Xue Biao was still young and remained in the palace to be raised by his aunt, Princess Xinning.The entire Xue family is taken care of by the elders of the Xue clan, but the elders of the Xue clan have a nephew who walks through the streets and eats flowers and wine with Master Wen; after the Wen family was executed, the elders of the Xue clan hurriedly beat up the nephew Lock it up, it doesn't rule out that someone will take advantage of the Xue family in the future.

Destiny cannot be violated, but it is not an inevitable trend. After all, Yanyu has let the Lin family escape from the established fate of Bo Mingsi.

"After the national funeral, I will come to propose marriage to Mr. Lin. I have already invited Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao to be my matchmakers." After thinking about it, Mu Nun decided to tell Yanyu first, but the only thing that worried him was Lin Ruhai. And what Jia Min meant, "But Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin don't seem to be satisfied with me."

Yan Yu didn't know about this matter yet, she was puzzled by Mu Ran's words: "Why?" She remembered that Lin Ruhai once felt that Mu Ran was a good man, and said that the king of Dong'an County was able to wash away thanks to having a good son. Wronged and rehabilitated the family business.

Mu Yun pondered for a while before guessing: "Maybe they are afraid that I will bully you, so they can't come and beat me!"

This is reasonable, it is hard for Yanyu to disagree.

It is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. If this is the case, there is no way.

"Then what shall we do?" Yanyu asked after being silent for a while.

"Just pretend you don't know, and I will find a way." Mu Yun only said, "After the national funeral, there will be a bright future."

Seeing that Mu Yun's eyes were stained with unknown, Yanyu hesitated for a while before asking another question: "Recently, there are always rumors in the capital that it is actually you and Princess Zhaoming, and now it should be the Queen Mother." , it was you who murdered the Fifth Prince in order to support the current Majesty's succession to the throne. You just let these rumors spread and don't care about them anymore?" Even she couldn't help feeling wronged for Mu Huang when she heard it, He had nothing to do but was taken a big scapegoat by people with ulterior motives.

Mu Yun was confident: "It's just a young man who lures a snake out of the hole. The Wen family's power has been entrenched in the capital for a long time, and now it has emerged, and it is just about to move around. This is also good, so as not to prevent troubles in the future, it is better to It is to take this opportunity to wipe them all out, so as to avoid future troubles."

"Even so, you have to grasp the scale and don't burn yourself back." Although Yanyu didn't feel wrong, but after all, the first emperor died, and even the slightest disturbance at this time may cause turbulent waves.

"I understand." Mu Yun still nodded.

After seeing off Mu Yun, Yanyu walked slowly back to the courtyard along the green vine flower corridor, unexpectedly, Yue Bai, who had rested in the Baosha, woke up, and when he saw Yanyu came back, he hurriedly said: "Girl, are you Where did you go? I went into the house to change the light and saw that you were not in the house."

"Sister Yubai, I'm just going out for a walk." Yanyu smiled, as if it was just an ordinary thing.

"It's easy to be cold at night, girl, you should put on your clothes, don't catch cold." Yubai still put a green shirt on Yanyu, and hugged her into the room.

Yanyu still felt refreshed, so she lit a little soothing incense by the stove, and heard Yue Bai say: "Girl, it's still early, why don't you go lie down on the couch for a while?"

After pouring half a cup of Yulu tea and tasting it carefully, Yanyu put down the teacup on the table, pointed to Xiudun next to her and asked Yubai to sit down: "Sister Yubai, I can't sleep either, so let's talk casually."

"Okay, girl." Yu Bai obediently sat down.

"Have you ever dreamed of seeing a fairy?" Yanyu looked at Yubai seriously and asked, expecting a hopeful answer.

Sure enough, he saw Yubai nodding his head: "I dreamed of a fairy girl before I woke up, she was very pretty."

Yan Yu frowned: "Could it be that the fairy is wearing a lotus crown on her head, wearing a purple cloud shirt, and coming here with a seven-color fairy spirit?"

Surprised, Yue Bai quickly nodded: "Young lady also dreamed of that fairy girl?"

Yanyu smiled: "I don't have your fairy fate, but I just saw that the fairy in the painting looks like this." But she could also guess that the fairy in Yuebai's dream was Fairy Jinghuan, but she didn't know Fairy Jinghuan What kind of moth is going on again, it is really impossible to guard against; she has been here for so many years, and it is only a moment for her to hate the sky, now that the flower god is out of the customs, the fairy aunt, the Taixu fairy, should not interfere with the affairs of Baihua Division .

Yanyu asked Yue Bai to go back to rest first, and there was no need to keep watch here.

Yue Bai was still a little hesitant, but Yanyu insisted on doing so, so she had no choice but to agree.

In fact, Yanyu is more worried about Shi Jin and Daiyu's marriage when the country mourns suddenly; It was only after getting married that some people's minds were relieved.

What Yanyu was worried about was that Aunt Jinghuan would make a fuss about Shi Jin, and by the way, she also tricked Daiyu.

When the sky was about to dawn, she suddenly heard screams from outside the courtyard. Yanyu pushed open the carved window and looked out, and saw the flying stars passing by the twilight and disappearing in the sky.

The main battle of flying stars, born from the northwest, moves with Sirius.

The new emperor ascended the throne for the first time, and a flying star appeared again. I am afraid that if there are any more rumors, it will make people panic and scattered.

She doesn't believe that this celestial phenomenon is just a coincidence, the master of Xingjun's mansion has 24 horoscopes, and now Feixing's entry into the world is not unrelated to the Xingjun's mansion who is in charge of astrology.

The maids gathered in the yard looking up, and they were still talking in low voices on the porch after the flying stars passed.

Jin Qing said to Yiyue: "Sister Yiyue, I heard that when flying stars rise, troubled times rule. Is this going to war again?" Although the little girl was curious, her fear was even more obvious between words; If you can have a mouthful of food, if it is really a troubled time, Fangling's soul will be broken.

"Don't think about it, it's nothing. Don't disturb the girl!" Yu Bai turned around and interrupted them, then rolled up the embroidered curtain and entered the room.

Yanyu turned to look at her: "Sister Yubai, did you hear that there were flying stars last night?"

Yue Bai waited on Yanyu to wash and change clothes, and said with a smile: "Everyone saw it. Suddenly, many flying stars flashed across the sky. I thought I was confused."

Yanyu asked her back with a half smile: "Sister Yubai, everyone in the world says that there are gods, so the rain, snow, stars, and four seasons should be under the control of the gods. They say that the flying stars are the main battle, then Are you saying that the gods want to fight in the world? Or is this flying star not under the control of the gods?"

Originally, everyone just looked at Feixing with a lot of emotion, but they never thought about it. Only after hearing what Yanyu said, Yuebai was stunned for a while, and then he chuckled and said, "I don't know about that. The girl is very knowledgeable, but I don't think so." Tell us about it!"

"Don't talk nonsense about things about gods!" Yanyu smiled slyly, but she couldn't help feeling that what she said was really a bit of a joke, why use such words to prevaricate the ignorant little girl.

"When I was a child, I also heard my mother tell stories about immortals in Zhuangzi." Yue Bai swept Mu Se from just now and answered with a smile.

"I remember your mother is your wife's companion, and she came from Rongguo Mansion?" Yanyu asked casually, recalling Yuebai's background.

Yubai nodded in response: "Yes. In fact, my mother was also an old lady from Shi Gong's family who brought her to Rongguo Mansion as a companion. Later, my eldest sister was selected by the wife to be the maid next to the wife, and I was lucky enough to be by the girl's side. waiting."

There is still some chance in this calculation, but after hearing Yuebai talk about the historian, Yanyu pondered thoughtfully.
