The queen turned her head and explained to Gongsun Xi: "I'm afraid the reason why they are here is to prepare for Concubine Mo's funeral!"

The mausoleum of Emperor Xiaozong is in the south of Chang'an, and Concubine Mo, as one of his favorite concubines during his lifetime, is also the mother of King Gaomi, who is now in power in Chang'an.

It's a pity that Queen Meng is young after all, although because of Empress Dowager Meng, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she knows the royal rules, but she didn't take this section into account before leaving.

Now the two of them are blocked only one step away from the south gate, they can't enter, and since they are unwilling to retreat, it is difficult to find another way out in a hurry, and they can't help but look at each other for a while!

Gongsun Xi was observing the guards not far away, thinking about countermeasures quickly, who knew that the disaster would not go alone, at this time there was a sudden noise behind the small building, his face changed, and he whispered to the queen: "Someone is coming, let's leave quickly!"

He pulled Queen Meng and was about to hurry down, but halfway through, the noise was already approaching the door, he frowned, and motioned for the queen to retreat upstairs with him: "It's too late...... Let's find a place to hide!"

Fortunately, this small building should be inhabited, or someone lived not long ago, there is no dust up and down, there has been no rain in Chang'an in the past two days, their shoes are not stained with any dirty things, it should not leave traces that people can see through at a glance, and they will find it when they enter the door.

Gongsun Xicai took the queen to hide her figure, and when she heard the door under her being pushed open, a delicate girl said in a puzzled voice: "Hey, how is this door hidden?"

Hearing this, both of them were shocked, but fortunately, there was a voice that seemed to be an inner servant and said sharply: "The county monarch doesn't know, the people in the palace have been panicking in the past two days, and even the stewards are a little six gods and no masters, and eighty percent of the palace people are dizzy because of this, and the door is not locked and they leave! The slaves and maids will go to set up rules after a while, and they will know the fate of not being good on errands!"

The jun sighed and said, "Forget it! People are not grass and trees, who can be infallible?" Just ask the responsible palace people to be careful next time...... And put away all the ornaments here, and the positions of several cases are placed according to the side hall of Xinshou Palace, especially the things used by the two younger sisters, pay attention to the fact that they haven't grown up yet, don't put them too high!"

In addition to the chamberlain who answered before, there were also several palace people-like voices who agreed one by one, and asked the county gentleman some things, the county gentleman listened to the old age, but he was very sophisticated, and gave a reply one by one, and finally said: "Mother should ask grandmother to come over to help palm the eyes later, you remember to make a pot of tea, and a few snacks." ”

She carefully explained what kind of tea to make, how to brew, what utensils to use, and the dim sum from the selection of materials to the style, although it is cumbersome, but it does not make people feel bored, but has a feeling of "just do it".

Upstairs, Empress Meng whispered, "Yes......"

Before he spoke, he was compared to Gongsun Xi with a "silence" gesture, then took her hand and wrote in the palm of his hand: "Don't speak, there are masters among the people who accompany the county gentleman below, even if they are separated by one floor, there may not be no possibility of being discovered!"

Empress Meng lowered her head, let her long hair fall down, covered her crimson ears, and felt the strange touch when his calloused fingertips crossed her palm, a heart was heavy and floating, and she couldn't help but scold herself for being stupid: "When my voice was not good before, I could only talk to him through writing, why was I stupid to find some dusty plank, and I also got a hand full of dust! Why can't I pull his handwriting like this?"

She thought about it for a while, and then grabbed Gongsun Xi's palm with her backhand, and wrote one stroke at a time: "I recognize the voice of the county king, it is the eldest granddaughter of King Gaomi and Huang Wuyi's wife, Jian'an County Jun Rong Yaoxin! The sister she said must be Guangchang County Jun Rong Youxin and Yunyang County Jun Rong Yixin! And grandmother is Princess Gaomi! It's really strange, it is said that Concubine Mo died, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughters should be in the side hall of Xinshou Palace, why did they come to this small building?"

But I didn't know that this was because the Qi family felt sorry for their daughters, thinking that it was so hot today, in order to properly preserve the body of Concubine Mo in the palace where the spirit was stopped, they had to use a lot of ice to prevent it, so that it was obviously still in the scorching heat, but near the coffin, it was cold and cold, like high autumn.

Qi couldn't help but worry, and his sons would just give it up, at most wear more.

However, women belong to the yin, in case the cold qi accumulates into the body, falls into the chronic disease, not to mention the long-term illness in the future, if the bad luck affects the heirs, this is a major event related to a lifetime!

But Concubine Mo died, and as a descendant, she had the obligation to keep the spirit. Qi has always been very virtuous in front of his in-laws, and it is not good for his daughters to directly ask his father-in-law to let the three sisters of Jian'an Junjun avoid it.

After thinking about it, she used the excuse that her mother-in-law, Princess Gaomi, was unwell, and her brother-in-law and daughter-in-law Sheng Weiqiao were not in Chang'an, so she couldn't handle it alone, and she needed the help of her daughters, so she divided part of the funeral with people and handed it over to her three daughters.

so that they may take advantage of this mission to avoid the obligation of kneeling by the coffin day and night.

In order to avoid being seen through by his father-in-law, Qi also asked his mother-in-law, Princess Gaomi, to come over to help when she was free. Sure enough, when King Gaomi heard the news, he thought that his daughter-in-law was afraid that although Princess Gaomi came to the palace to ask about Concubine Mo's funeral, she was not happy in the end, and she was afraid that the only daughter-in-law of this concubine would not do anything, as if she was watching the excitement, and let people see the jokes of Gaomi Palace.

So I only had a "virtuous and considerate" evaluation of the Qi family in my heart, but I didn't expect that this was my daughter-in-law's love for her daughter.

And Rong Weixin didn't know what her mother was thinking, but she really wanted to do her errand well.

At this time, considering that her grandmother, Princess Gaomi's health, has not been very good, and she is very reluctant to take care of Concubine Mo's funeral, she can't help but feel resentment in her heart.

I chose this small building very close to the south gate and decided to act as a temporary place to do things, and it was also a cool place for Princess Gaomi and her two younger sisters who had not yet grown up.

As the eldest daughter of the Qi family, she has been strictly taught since she was a child, and although Rong Yaoxin is young, she is very neat in her work.

After a while, when Guangchang Junjun and Yunyang Junjun walked in hand in hand, the entire small building had changed greatly, removing all the flashy and unsuitable treasured jade, but a set of simple and simple tables and chairs were placed, and each desk was placed with the four treasures of the study, and the palace people who served the pen and ink stood on the side.

Seeing the two younger sisters coming, Jian'an Junjun, who was directing people to place a pot of banyan bonsai, swept his sideburns, turned his head, and said: "You came just in time, the list over there has been divided into two parts, you go to the pair!"

Guangchang Junjun and Yunyang Junjun have always been playful, the least like to do things, in front of the Qi family, afraid of the punishment of Yan's mother, they don't dare to make a mistake, at this time in front of the eldest sister who has always loved them, but they are lively, they didn't look at the direction of Jian'an Junjun when they heard the words, and they came up with a smile: "Big sister, what's going on with this bonsai?"

"I thought that my grandmother would come over later, and see that it was empty and strangely deserted, so I asked someone to bring a few pots of bonsai that didn't bloom to decorate it. Jian'an Junjun ignored them at first, watched the palace people put the bonsai away, and temporarily waved it back, before revealing to the two sisters in a low voice, "After the grandmother comes later, if there is anything to ask, pay attention to the wording, don't make the grandmother angry!"

"If you want me to say, just get it!" When Guangchang Junjun heard this, he hugged her arm and said in a low voice with a smile, "Anyway, we haven't seen the concubine much since we were young, I heard that the concubine was very bad to our grandmother and little uncle back then, and my grandmother has been depressed and unhappy all these years, and she is not close to our family with the little uncle, and it all has something to do with her! Although she is the biological mother of my grandfather, for us, this kind of person who has nothing to do with at all, how can I compare with my grandmother?"

As he spoke, he bumped Yunyang Junjun with his elbow, "Third sister, you said yes, right?"

"I also think we should go to Grandmother!" Yunyang Junjun nodded and said seriously, "So big sister, don't worry about it, let's go out and hide and seek, right? And ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jian'an Junjun had a cold face, and flicked a chestnut with his fingers: "What kind of bastard are you talking about! That's my grandfather's biological mother, our great-grandmother! Her old man is gone, can we be the younger generation? If you let your mother know, it's strange if you don't beat you for three days!"

At the mention of the Qi family, the sisters suddenly shuddered, and when they were honest, they didn't dare to ask Jian'an Junjun to throw things away and go out to play, so they only said with a bitter face: "But this kind of thing is not the rules of the Ministry of Etiquette, just do it, why do we have to worry about it?"

"The rule is that the dead are alive, especially at this time, you don't know what the situation is outside?" Jian'an Junjun hated and scolded them, "Just now I entered this small building, and I found that the door was not even locked! It can be seen that the people in this palace are panicking! At this time, let's not look at it well, who knows what will happen to my great-grandmother? When the grandfather comes to see it, we have good fruit to eat?!"

However, when Jian'an Junjun said this, his sisters really didn't have any feelings for Concubine Mo in his heart, so he lowered his voice and said, "Just pretend to be like your grandfather...... How much affection do you think Daddy can have for her? I can't say it's for Grandpa!"

After persuading the two younger sisters and making them agree to be obedient and helpful, Jian'an Junjun breathed a sigh of relief and gave a sweet date: "If you do well, I will let someone cook you the Yellow Queen Mother rice later." ”

The Yellow Queen Mother Rice is one of the eight treasures in ancient times, the yellow rice is steamed to seven mature, piled with braided wisps, egg fat and the like, poured in the sauce and sesame oil along the edge, turned to low heat, simmered until the yellow rice is watered, sprinkled with chopped chives and coriander, and then served with oil and green vegetables to become [Note].

Guangchang Junjun and Yunyang Junjun have always loved to eat, but Qi's usually controls the children's food very strictly, because they think that yellow rice is not easy to restrain and eat, and this royal yellow queen mother's rice is allowed to eat three or two times a month.

At this time, Jian'an Junjun used this as a temptation, and their eyes suddenly lit up, and they nodded again and again.

Seeing this, the Junjun of Jian'an gave a few words of encouragement, left an errand for them, and took someone out to see in person the route of Concubine Mo's two-day funeral.

After she left, Guangchang Junjun and Yunyang Junjun did something for a while, and seeing that the eldest sister and grandmother still had no shadow, they felt bored, so they slacked off: "The left and right great-grandmothers have to stop for several days before the funeral, what are we busy with at this time?"

Yunyang Junjun lazily threw down Zihao, looked around, and said: "Second sister, we just promised the eldest sister, if we run out to play at this time, and the eldest sister can't find anyone when she comes back, she will definitely be angry! Don't even think about what the royal yellow queen mother meal is! Besides, what if we go out on the front foot, and the grandmother on the back foot will come over?"

Guangchang Junjun thought about it, rolled his eyes, and said, "You can't go out, let's just take a walk in this small building?"

So the sisters hit it off and happily started the journey of jumping up and down in the small building!

And Gongsun Xi and Queen Meng, who were hiding upstairs, listened to this movement, and their faces turned blue!

The queen was praying in horror that they would never find their side, and it was best to be as negligent as the palace people who came up to clean and check before, who knows, what are you afraid of, the sisters who kicked and stepped on the stairs played back and forth in several rooms for a while, and felt bored, Yunyang Junjun proposed: "Second sister, do you want to hide here, turn back and come over, see that we are not downstairs, ask us, we can't find it when we come up, let's jump out again and make her start?"

The twin sisters were originally bear children, Guangchang Junjun readily agreed when he heard this, so the two drove the people downstairs, covered the door, turned over the cabinets to find a place to hide, and was about to get into the sleeping couch, but Guangchang Junjun said: "Dirty, it will definitely stain our skirts, this kind of plain white skirt we usually don't have a chance to wear, I just looked in the mirror when I was on the body, it's strange and good-looking! If you roll on a layer of ash, how ugly is it?"

She triumphantly pointed to the roof beam above, "Third sister, you are really smart and confused for a while! Such an obvious dark place under the lamp is condescending, both breathable and ...... Again...... ...... again"

Yunyang Junjun, who felt that what she said made sense, was puzzled when he saw that she had not continued for a long time, and looked up, but happened to see a man and a woman on the roof beam, looking down at them indifferently and in horror!!
