Four days later, the Jiang family, who got the news, took Chen Yuqing's four sisters and brothers back to the capital. They knew that they might live in the capital for a long time in the future, and many of their belongings at home had moved over.

Chen Afu led the child back for a meal, and did not go to see Chen Yuhui. In her mind, Chen Yuhui was hopeless, and she didn't want to intersect with her in the future.

On the 16th, Xie Fu officially invited a matchmaker to come to the door to say that the matchmaker was matched, Chen Jiayun agreed, and Chen Yuqing and Xie Feng finally made a marriage.

Jiang was overjoyed. Xie Feng's family background, character, and talent are undoubtedly the best descendants that Chen Yuqing has said for so many years, and they are better than all the previous descendants. She was very grateful to Chen Afu and Chu Hua, because this marriage was secretly facilitated by these two people.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, when people were immersed in the joy of the New Year, the emperor died.

The new emperor announced that a grand funeral would be held for the first emperor, and hundreds of civil and military officials in the capital mourned and wept, and officials of a certain level had to fast for three days and could not go home. The women of the third grade or more in the capital have to enter the palace and cry for three days, and they enter the palace in the morning and leave the palace at night.

This bad news made the Empress Dowager sad, and her already good body was carried again, and the second day of the first lunar month also died. The funeral of the first emperor was not completely over, and the royal family ushered in a second funeral.

The Empress Dowager made the third lady break her liver and intestines, and she fainted several times, Chen Afu has been taking care of her, comforting her, and accompanying her in the palace for three days.

On the evening of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when the crying ended, Chen Afu helped the pale-faced third lady out of the palace.

Chu Fourth Master Chu Lingwei was waiting outside the palace gate. Chu Lingwei saw the third lady who was almost out of shape, and tears welled up. stepped forward to help her and said, "Mother's Day, if you are like this, my grandmother will be sad in the spirit of heaven." ”

Handing over the third lady to Chu Lingwei, Chen Afu finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, she has been so anxious that she has three children between the ages of one and two at home. Thinking of them crying endlessly at night, Chen Afu's heart was bleeding.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Chen Afu went directly to An Rongtang. Listening to Chu Lingwei, these days, the four children are living with their grandfather in An Rongtang.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Chu Hanyan sitting on the brocade bench and turning the flower rope with Luo Mei, the three small ones were playing with the animal house, and the Marquis of Chu was sitting on the side and watching them.

As soon as she saw that her mother had returned, several children rushed towards her. The two little brothers hugged their mother's legs and shouted "mother", Chu Hanyan held Xiao Yu'er, who was unstable on the stake, and Xiao Yu'er looked up at her mother and cried, so aggrieved.

Chen Afu picked up Xiao Yu'er and said, "Good boy, my mother is back." ”

She said goodbye to Marquis Chu and led a few children back to Zhuxuan.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, a grand enthronement ceremony was held, and Li Zeping officially ascended the throne and rebuilt Hongnian as the first year of Qingguan. The queen is the queen mother, and the former crown princess is the queen. Several princes who were not crowned kings were also crowned kings and given to their younger brothers, and Li Zetai, the eleventh prince, was crowned and king. The second prince's younger brother, the eighth prince, was crowned the king of Su and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, and he was never allowed to enter Beijing.

Hearing that Xiao Eleven was crowned the king, and he would move out when the mansion was renovated, Chen Afu was very happy. Later, I saw him more time.

Chen Shiying was also officially appointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and one of his main businesses was to manage the fields and farm.

At the end of February, the remnants of the two princes and the party were basically cleaned up. If the circumstances are heinous, men over the age of seven will be beheaded, and female dependents will either be confiscated into the department of the church, or allowed to be prostitutes. If the circumstances are slightly lighter, the parties will be killed, and the rest of the family members will be exiled for 3,000 miles. And the He family belongs to the less serious circumstances, except for He Quan, who was beheaded, the rest of them were exiled to Qiongzhou.

It is said that He Quan saw his wife and eldest son for the last time before he died, and asked the old wife to agree to the separation of the second daughter-in-law and save the child in her belly. When the old wife told him that Chen Yuhui's child was aborted by his son, and the emperor had sentenced them to be separated, he cried.

Where the circumstances of the Ma family are serious, the main family is to be dealt with as serious circumstances. And Chu Hanyan's foreign family was only a relative, and the family was sentenced to exile to the Northland, and they were allowed to be military households. They are much better than the people who were exiled to Qiongzhou, and perhaps the emperor may not necessarily look at the face of the future and the princess.

Chen Afu felt that after all, that family was related to Chu Hanyan by blood, so it was not good to care about it. So he asked Luo Fang to send a lot of silver to the escort sergeant, please help take care of it. In the name of Chu Hanyan, she gave her grandfather some silver and medicinal herbs to make their lives better in the future.

Those who dare to help the exiles may only be the future princess and the princess. Everyone knows that he is the most favored by the queen mother and the emperor.

February 27 is the ninth birthday of the prince, and the queen mother will definitely celebrate his birthday. Chen Afu made a birthday cake early in the morning for people to send to the palace, and together with it, there was a set of underwear made by Chen Afu himself, and a beautiful blue bracelet woven by Chu Hanyan.

What Chen Afu didn't expect was that he and the prince actually came to Chu Mansion that evening.

Chen Afu was happy and puzzled, and asked, "Why did you leave the palace?"

He Wang Ye came over and leaned beside her, and said, "Since the death of my father, my mother has been teaching Buddha for most of her time, and I can only see her before the end of the day. If it weren't for the hard persuasion of my imperial brother and me, my mother would have wanted to become a monk......," his eyes turned a little red, stabilized his emotions, and said, "I want to eat minced meat and mixed sauce noodles made by my mother-in-law, so I came." ”

When Chen Afu heard this, he smiled and went to the backyard to make mixed sauce noodles, and asked people to go to An Rongtang to pick up a few children, and then invited the third lady and Chu Lingzhi to Zhuxuan to eat longevity noodles to celebrate his birthday with the prince. Because there is no preparation and the time is short, I will not be invited.

He Wang Ye shook his arm to Chu Hanyan again, and the beautiful blue chain on his wrist was extremely conspicuous. He smiled, "My sister's hands are getting more and more skillful, and this chain is really handsome." ”

Chu Hanyan smiled and said, "The prince likes it, I'll make up a few more for you in the future." He said, "My mother said that I can learn embroidery next year, and when the time comes, I will embroider handkerchiefs and purses for the prince." ”

He Wang Ye was even happier when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll wait." ”

At the beginning of the lanterns, a large pot of noodles and several large bowls of potatoes were placed on the kang table in the east house. Chen Afu mixed several kinds of lettuce, including minced meat, scrambled eggs with leeks, stewed chicken, and ginger shrimp.

He Wang Ye smiled, "I only eat noodles with minced meat and mixed sauce, and no noodles are as delicious as it." ”

Chen Afu helped him mix a bowl, and he asked for it again after eating. Chen Afu transferred half a bowl for him, and he was not allowed to eat any more, saying that it was not good to eat too many noodles at night.

Seeing that he liked it with the prince, the little brothers had to eat mixed sauce noodles, and half of their faces were spent.

Before Chen Afu could take out the handkerchief, he and the prince took out the silk handkerchief to help them wipe it, and coaxed, "Slow down, it's more, this noodle is only liked by the three of us." ”
