Gu Chao stood by and waited, and it didn't take long for him to see a large group of people walking towards this side with three people in his arms.

The leader is wearing a four-clawed python suit, tall and handsome. He was frowning as he listened to something said by one of the people next to him.

Presumably this is Li Qian, the king of Lintong.

It is said that it was because of his good looks that he was favored by the lord of Jianan. Looking at Li Qian's current appearance, the rumors are also somewhat true.

Gu Chao thought wildly, greeted him on the other side, and reported to his home from a distance.

Li Qian was waiting for the people sent by Jinling to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, glanced at Gu Chao, and said coldly: "When did Lord Gu arrive in the capital? Twenty-seven days of state funeral have passed twenty days now. ”

Do you do that?

If the people sent by Zhao Xi are not enough, Li Qian will decide that their side will mourn on their own, regardless of Zhao Xi's will.

Gu Chao knew that this errand was not easy to do. But he admired Zhang Yi since he was a child and wanted to emulate Zhang Yi to envoy to the border country, which led to this trip to the north.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and said, "The prince will be angry for the time being." The war in the south broke out again, the emperor had just been in power, and he couldn't take care of the end, and he thought that the empress dowager was noble, and the envoys to the north didn't know who to choose for a while, so it has been delayed so far. However, before the ministers left, the emperor had an order, so that the ministers and others would all listen to the dispatch of the prince, saying that the prince must have his own arrangements for the funeral of the queen mother, and we will obey the order. ”

He blushed a little when he said this.

In fact, Zhao Xi didn't want to take care of the funeral of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Xi's words revealed the meaning of "whoever has the idea will pay the silver", since Jiang Xian wants to take care of the funeral of the Empress Dowager, let them take care of it, and they can just be a shopkeeper who shakes his hands.

Zhao Xi's envoys were delayed, as long as the conditions they put forward were false Zhao Xi, as long as they were vague about silver, Li Qian already knew what Zhao Xi meant, at this time, he didn't even have a wave in his heart, nodded calmly, and said to Gu Chao: "Come with me!"

He didn't even introduce who the people around him were.

Gu Chao had heard a lot of rumors about Li Qian, and when he saw Li Qian, he found that Li Qian had a gentle temperament, like a scholar but not like a general who went into battle to kill the enemy, and throughout his history books, the more such a contrast is relatively large, the more assertive and characterful people are. In addition, the Tartars in the north who have been strong in the hands of Li Qian in the past few years, and who have been entangled with the imperial court for nearly 30 years, are now obediently retreating for 500 miles, and they are the feudal officials who really hold the power in their hands, where does Gu Chao dare to say more.

He cautiously followed Li Qian into the main hall.

The main hall was white.

Those officials stepped forward to greet Li Qian one after another.

Li Qian nodded, said "hard work", and introduced Gu Chao.

Everyone politely greeted Gu Chao.

The officials who stayed in the capital above the fourth grade are all here. There are more people than Gu Chao imagined. He tries to match people and names as much as possible.

After a period of greetings, the people from the Department of Ceremonies came over, and Gu Chao first gave incense to the Empress Dowager on behalf of Zhao Xi, and then gave incense to the Empress Dowager himself.

Li Qian invited him to sit down in the side hall next to him, and asked him about his intention: "...... Does the emperor have any other explanation?"

Gu Chao's face was slightly red, and he said, "That's not true." It's just that everything is arranged by the prince. ”

It's also a good thing not to point fingers.

Li Qian comforted himself, but he could think of Jiang Xian's anger after hearing this.

He sighed softly in his heart, said a few words to Gu Chao, arranged for Gu Chao and the others to stay in the Siyi Pavilion and returned to Cining Palace.

Jiang Xian rests in Cining Palace these days, in addition to sorting out the relics of the Empress Dowager, it is to recall the old things of the past.

Li Qian was afraid that she would touch the scene, and he also thought about letting Jiang Xian go back to the eldest princess's mansion to live for a few days or go to the empress dowager to live, but Jiang Xian refused. Not only that, but she also comforted Li Qian: "I'm fine." You let me indulge and indulge. When the Empress Dowager goes up the mountain, I should also put it down. ”

Back then, she also experienced the death of the Empress Dowager, but she was not as sad as this time. Was it because in her previous life she vaguely knew that after the death of the Empress Dowager, she had no one to rely on, and she could only rely on herself, so she had to be strong? Or was it because she was still ignorant and not very sensible at that time, unlike in this life, the Empress Dowager's life was saved by her, and she lived twelve years longer than in her previous life?

Jiang Xian snuggled weakly in Li Qian's arms, not worried about the future, she didn't need to be strong, she could be weak as long as she wanted, and she could be sad whenever she wanted.

Li Qian hugged Jiang Xian tightly, and his heart was full of regret.

This is the first time he has seen such a Jiang Xian.

seems to have given up on himself, and just wants to rely on him, wherever he goes, with him in the wilderness, the sun, the moon and the stars.

Such a Jiang Xian surprised him and made him intoxicated.

It seems that the longer she is with Jiang Xian, the more faces she will show, and each side will make him find interesting.

Thinking of this, Li Qian's steps back to the palace were a little faster.

But today's Jiang Xian is a little different from usual.

She didn't lie on the big pillow near the window in a daze like a few days ago, and she didn't silently sort out the clothes and ornaments of the empress dowager with the palace maids, but neatly combed a more complex bun of flowers, and also put on two silver ornaments, and wore a plain white plain silk gown, and sat there quietly listening to Meng Fangling talk about the queen mother's move to the mausoleum seven days later.

Seeing Li Qian coming back, she interrupted Meng Fangling's words and greeted Li Qian: "You're back!" There was a squeamishness in her voice that she didn't even notice, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.

Li Qian's heart suddenly swelled with infinite tenderness and sweetness.

He didn't care about Meng Fangling's presence, took a few steps forward and sat next to Jiang Xian, and asked her gently, "Did you have refreshments in the afternoon?"

Jiang Xian has not eaten well in the past few days, and everyone has lost a lot of weight.

Jiang Xian nodded, with a slight smile in his eyes, and said, "Yin Xia asked the Imperial Kitchen to make a lot of rice cakes. Then she thought that she hadn't taken care of the children these days, and said, "I called Brother Shen and a few of them over and asked them to pad their stomachs." ”

Li Qian let out a long sigh and felt that Jiang Xian had finally "lived" and slowly recovered from the death of the Empress Dowager.

He couldn't help but hold Jiang Xian's hand on the arm of the chair, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about the funeral of the Empress Dowager, I have agreed with Chengengong, and I have discussed it repeatedly with my own son." You just have to follow Aunt Meng when the time comes. In the past two days, you have worked hard to cry and mourn the Empress Dowager every day, so you have to rest and rest. ”

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager will be tired when she comes out of the funeral.

Jiang Xian also knew.

She nodded, saw the cyan in Li Qian's eyes, couldn't help sighing, and said, "I don't care about you these days, you have to take care of your body." ”

Jiang Xian only cared about his own sadness behind closed doors, but Li Qian was responsible for the specific matters of the Empress Dowager's funeral, and it was Li Qian who was really affected.

Li Qian said: "If you are good, I will be fine!"
