Just because of the funeral of the emperor, in the royal family, the princes, princesses, and princes all entered the palace to guard the spirit and pay tribute, and the members of the court who were above the three grades were also fasting and waiting in the palace.

In other capitals and even in the sky, the subjects and so on all took off the crown and tassels, served vegetarians, banned dancing and music for 100 days, and forbade slaughter on the 49th, and the people were not allowed to marry for three months, and the whole country mourned.

The Ministry of Rites also issued obituaries to the surrounding countries such as Silla, Zhanmin, Sharo, Nanyue, and Nibor, and the countries sent envoys such as Chen Wei to express their condolences without mentioning them.

It is said that Huaizhen followed Li Xianshu into the palace and guarded it for half a month. Originally, he had a shallow relationship with Emperor Cheng, not to mention thinking about Concubine De, and investigating the source was also because of him, and later he almost hurt Ying Lanfeng......

But now that people are gone, there is no need to mention the past. And before he left, he repented, thought about recognizing his own flesh and blood, and corrected the name of Concubine De...... It's a good thing.

Huaizhen is not a person who is good at holding grudges, and thinking that when he entered the palace in the past, all kinds of things he got along with Emperor Cheng were so kind, and now he can't get it anymore, so he can't help but feel sad.

This big sacrifice took more than a month to gradually subside. On this day, Huai really wanted to leave the palace, but was called by Minli's heir.

Because Ying Lanfeng was named the "Virtuous King" and restored his status as a royal family, as Zhao Yongmu said, just because Concubine De was the best, all the civil and military officials who had some foundation were grateful, although they saw that Ying Lanfeng was such an identity...... was very surprised, but Ying Lanfeng is also a capable minister, everyone admires and admires, although the government and the opposition are in an uproar, but in addition to the shock, there is no other tone, everyone is just amazed, and they think that Ying Lanfeng's behavior is very good for the former style of Concubine De.

Some people thought of Concubine De's disaster relief at the beginning, and thought of what Huaizhen had done before...... I sighed even more.

In addition to Ying Lanfeng's title, Huaizhen also has another title, and it was proposed by the Emperor Taishang, and he was actually the "Lord of Yongping". Although he violated Zhao Yongmu's jealousy, he was also the emperor's favor, and perhaps he did it on purpose to show his honor.

During these days, Huaizhen was in the palace, and he often met with Minli and Ying Hanyan, and the three of them went through ups and downs all the way, but they were better and better than before, and they talked about themselves in a few days.

Let's say that Huai Zhen followed the little eunuch to Concubine Jing's palace and saw each other, Minli looked at her, and sighed: "After being busy for many days, I saw that you were thin again, so if you go back today, you can rest and rest." ”

Huai Zhen said: "I've always been like this, and my sister doesn't know it." Although she has now regained her identity, they still call each other the same as before.

Min Li held her hand and said, "I just asked someone to take some supplements and other things, you can bring them back later, and ask someone to clean up some for you to use every day, but don't be careless and treat your body." ”

Huai Zhen said: "Thank you, sister." Got it. ”

Minli looked at Huaizhen, but in fact, what she wanted to say in her heart was not these, but she thought about it for several days, and she didn't know where to start, but if she didn't say it, Huaizhen would go out of the palace.

Min Li asked, "Don't blame me for being too talkative, I'm just hard to rest assured...... You and your brother, in the end...... Do you have any plans?"

Huai Zhen opened his eyes slightly, and looked into Minli's inquiring eyes, but he didn't know how to answer well.

In the Tang Mansion that day, Tang Yi had said things such as reunion, but because there have been a lot of things recently, they can't even see each other, and they don't know what to say.

Listening to Minli's meaning, Tang Yi didn't mention this to Minli, so Huai Zhen's heart was a little ups and downs.

Since the incident of the Zhenfu Division, Tang Yi has never been to Yingfu again, Huaizhen naturally knows that he is entangled in official business, and he has no leisure, not to mention that Ying Lanfeng recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, and the Ministry of Rites is busy, plus the matter of the emperor, a big gift, no mistakes can be made, after the obituary was issued to various countries before, recently, those countries such as Zhan Min, Silla, South Vietnam and other countries that are closer have also sent Chen Wei envoys to Beijing, and naturally there is a lot of maneuvering.

What's more, in addition to the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, I am afraid that there are still many other affairs that make him not distracted.

Hearing Minli ask again at this moment, Huai Zhen was shocked, so he smiled slightly and said, "What are your plans, now this is the ...... Who has the heart to think about those things. ”

Min Li looked at her and saw that her face was slightly pale, compared to when she had only married into the Tang Mansion before...... Is it just because of the funeral of the Emperor Taishang? Minli has always pitied her the most, but now she can't bear it, so she said: "You listen to me, no matter what else, it's only serious to be kind to yourself." ”

Huai Zhen smiled and said: "This is nature, how can I treat myself badly." But sister, why tell me, I'm not like you...... You just have to take care of you and the little prince. ”

Min Li's heart hurt a little, and when she heard her words, she laughed again: "How do you know that you are a little prince?"

Huai Zhen said: "I guess so." ”

Min Li looked at her quietly for a moment, then opened her hand, hugged Huaizhen gently, and said, "I really hate that I am not a man...... Otherwise, you'll be left here empty. ”

Huai Zhenben was so dignified, but he couldn't help but have red eyes, his eyes were moist, and he hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe them off, and then smiled: "When has this been, and you still say such things?"

Min Li also had red eyes, smiled when she heard the words, and then slowly let her go.

At this moment, the palace maid led Baoshu in, and the child was already able to walk around all over the ground, and when she saw Huaizhen, she stepped forward to lean on, and called out in her mouth: "Auntie." ”

Huaizhen smiled and hugged him, but said to Minli: "Don't teach the prince to call me like this...... If it hears to people, what will it look like?"

Min Li smiled: "He is willing to call it that." Because he asked again: "In two months, Xiao Jin'er will be a year old, but she can speak?"

Huai Zhen smiled: "Where is it so fast, I'm afraid that there will be others." The two of them talked for a while, and Min Li let Huaizhen go.

Out of the dormitory, the eunuch led the way in front of the head, and sent Huaizhen out of the palace.

was turning out of the palace road, suddenly looked up and saw the front, the palace, there were several people walking, all of them were courtiers, and they should be dressed brightly.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the person in front of him, who is born with a majestic appearance, a solemn appearance, a delicate and dusty body, and his eyes are indifferent, surrounded by everyone, and he is heading towards the Jinluan Palace.

Huai Zhen saw it from afar, and when he saw the ice and snow star-like complexion, he felt a little suffocated for no reason.

These days, although I often go in and out of the palace, I rarely meet Tang Yi, I don't think of meeting here unexpectedly, I feel that I am a very familiar and close person, so far away, this kind of estrangement, but as if I don't recognize it.

As soon as I thought about it, I almost wanted to step forward, but I knew that I couldn't do it.

Huai Zhen only looked at Tang Yi in a daze, but the wind in front of him was flying, the palace was sagging, he strode with a dashing meteor demeanor, but he didn't see her here, he still didn't squint at his body, walked upright with those ministers, and went straight to the Jinluan Palace.

But the little eunuch in front of the head saw it, because he smiled and said: "Today, Lord Tang Shangshu is leading several envoys from the Republic of Zhan to visit the emperor......" When he turned around, he saw Huaizhen hanging his head, as if he didn't see anything.

When the little eunuch thought of the matter between the two, he was silent.

It is said that Huaizhen went out of the palace, took the car back to the house, walked halfway, his heart moved, he thought about it for a long time, and then ordered: "Go to the Tang Mansion." ”

Xiaohe and Ye Xue were listening, and they couldn't help but be surprised: after the reconciliation, in addition to the incident of the Weapons Bureau, this was the first time that Huaizhen took the initiative to say that he wanted to go to the Tang Mansion.

Just because he is a member of the royal family, he is more dedicated and filial than ordinary officials and dependents, and during this time, Huaizhen and Li Xianshu still entered the palace on time, but Mrs. Tang had some leisure, and because she was worried that there was no one to take care of Xiao Jin'er at home, she took him to the Tang Mansion.

The carriage stopped in front of the Tang Mansion, Huaizhen car, looked up at the plaque above his head, and there was a slight trembling feeling all over his body, and the little guys at the door saw her, knowing that today was different from the past, they were all busy saluting, and some people rushed in, only to report that "the lord of Yongping is coming".

Huaizhen tried his best to control himself, only doing nothing, and slowly walked inward, while raising his eyes slightly, this was such a familiar pavilion and palace in the past, but he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

When I was about to arrive at the inner house, I saw Mrs. Tang with a few girls to greet her, Huaizhen stepped forward, and wanted to salute, and had already supported Mrs. Tang, because she said: "Come in, it just so happens that Xiao Jin'er is restless, but I can't leave......"

Huai Zhen was puzzled, Mrs. Tang put her arm around her, and whispered, "You will know when you go in...... But sure enough, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”

When he entered the inner house and came to Mrs. Tang's upper room, he saw someone greet him, and he saluted: "I have seen the county lord." ”

Huaizhen took a look, but saw that the person in front of him turned out to be Lin **. At this moment, Huaizhen thought that ** was just here to visit Mrs. Tang, so he hurriedly said: "Why should the young grandmother be polite." ”

At this moment, Ling Xiao ran out, and when he saw Huaizhen, he came to him happily, and still called: "Auntie!"

After a while, Ling Xiao grew a lot, and Huaizhen saw that he was more and more cute than before, so he hugged him.

At this time, Mrs. Tang asked the nurse to take Xiao Jin'er out, but with the coming out, there was a little baby who could already walk around on the ground, but it was Lingyun.

The three children got together, and the hall was particularly lively, Huaizhen took Xiao Jin'er and hugged him, looked at this, and then looked at that, and the feeling of panic in his heart disappeared, because he smiled: "It's so lively...... Ling Yun was playing with Xiao Jin'er before?"

Mrs. Tang smiled: "Isn't it? Ling Xiao Lingyun likes Xiao Jin'er, and always guards Xiao Jin'er and refuses to leave!"

Huai Zhen liked it very much, looked down at the two brothers of the Ling family, and asked Lin ** with a smile: "When did the young grandmother come?"

When Lin ** heard this, he lowered his head and said, "I came here yesterday." ”

Huai Zhen was stunned, Mrs. Tang coughed beside her, but said: "But in life, where is there a lack of wrong words? After all, you are young and vigorous...... It's like the sky is falling, don't you know that you will have to live together in the future?"

Although Mrs. Tang said Lin **, she didn't say it to Huaizhen.

Huaizhen listened to it and knew that Lin ** probably had some trouble with Ling Jingshen, so he came to the Tang Mansion. Huai Zhen smiled and didn't answer, Ling Xiao and Ling Yun were two, one left and one right, beside her, sometimes looking at her, sometimes looking at Xiao Jin'er in her arms, like two curious little finch.

But I heard Lin ** say: "I'm afraid that this time it's not a bickering, if I don't have a family to go back to, I don't dare to disturb my wife and brother." As he spoke, he burst into tears, and he was afraid that Ling Xiao Lingyun would see it, so he hurriedly turned his head away.

Ling Yun is young, but Ling Xiao can see it clearly, when he walked back to Lin **, he pulled her sleeve and said, "Mother......"

** I wiped my tears, looked back at Ling Xiao, and said, "Xiao'er, you take Ling Yun outside to play." I'll be back later. ”

Although Ling Xiao was reluctant to be sincere, but after all, his mother told him so, so he had to take Ling Yun's hand and pull him out of the door.

Lin ** saw that the two children had gone out, so he whispered again: "My wife asked me what happened yesterday, and I didn't dare to say...... Huaizhen is also here today, so I just said it. ”

Mrs. Tang and Huaizhen glanced at each other, and only listened. Lin ** said again: "A few days ago, there was an accident in the Zhenfu Division, how many people died...... One of them was originally a woman in a green building, and our lord had a grand funeral, and it was just a matter of horizontal and vertical burial...... After exhausting his former affection, he was not very ruthless, but he still wanted to welcome the spiritual position into the family temple, how ridiculous is this? Naturally, I couldn't agree to this, but I couldn't resist him, but he said a few words. When my wife heard about it, she was angry, but she didn't dare to say much about him, but she just scolded me for not being a housekeeper......"

Although Huaizhen also vaguely heard that a woman had died in the Zhenfu Division...... But he didn't know about Rouge and Ling Jingshen, and he was stunned when he heard it.

Mrs. Tang listened and said, "Why is my wife so confused? But she probably can't do it, and she is angry...... Say a few words to you, you don't have to take it to heart, after all, you are an elder. After saying this, he added: "The depth of field is indeed a bit unorthodox, how can you put such a woman in the family temple, no wonder you are annoyed with him." ”

Lin ** lowered her head and wept, and Mrs. Tang sighed: "It's just that you came out with Lingxiao Lingyun like this, I'm afraid that they are also in a hurry at home...... But it's okay, you can live freely for two days, and the depth of field should be dried, lest he think that you have nowhere to go without your mother's home. ”

When Lin ** heard this, his tears fell even more urgently, and he choked up.

Seeing this, Huaizhen couldn't bear it, so he comforted: "Young grandma doesn't have to be too sad, pay attention to the swollen eyes crying, and let Ling Xiao Lingyun see it." ”

**Hearing this, she gradually stopped, because she cried a lot, and only came back when she saw Huaizhen...... was afraid that she would have something to say to Mrs. Tang in private, so she excused herself from washing and withdrew.

After going, Mrs. Tang sighed again: "**It was originally such a cool girl, but this child is like an angry little daughter-in-law." I couldn't bear to look at it, but unfortunately her father went early...... If he is still alive, with Lord Lin's temper, where will he be able to endure it?"

Huai Zhen also felt to himself, and said: "As Mrs. said, fortunately, it is not a big deal, but the words are wrong, and it is just a matter of waiting for the anger to disappear." ”

Mrs. Tang nodded again and again, but said to Huaizhen: "Since you have seen the affairs of other people's families so thoroughly, why can't you see through your own affairs?"

Huai Zhen smiled: "Why did my wife talk about me again?"

Mrs. Tang wanted to speak and stopped, at this moment, she saw Ling Xiao leading Ling Yun in from the door, and when she saw that Lin ** was not there, she asked.

Huai Zhen saw that the two brothers Yuxue were cute, so he beckoned them to him, because he said: "Don't worry, your mother went inside to wash her face, you wait here obediently." ”

The two children nodded together, and Ling Xiao asked, "Auntie, why is my mother crying again?"

Huai Zhen didn't know how to answer, and was hesitating, when Ling Xiao suddenly asked, "Is it that the bad guy also bullies his mother?"

Huaizhen was stunned, then touched his head and said, "What kind of bad guy did Xiao'er say?" At this moment, he suddenly thought of the last time...... Ling Xiao also seemed to have vaguely mentioned that the bad guys were not good for Ling Yun......

Ling Xiao asked, looked at Ling Yun, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and said something in Huaizhen's ear.

The smile on Huaizhen's face fell, and he looked straight at Ling Xiao and asked, "What did Xiao'er say...... But really?"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "When I was at home, my mother kept telling me to look at Ling Yun. ”

Ling Yun wasn't very sensible at the moment, so he just looked at Xiao Jin'er with a probing head...... Huaizhen looked at his ignorant eyes, shocked, and felt extremely uncomfortable for a while.

Mrs. Tang was beside her, but she didn't hear what Ling Xiao said, so she only smiled and asked, "What do you two talk about?"

Ling Xiao only looked at Huai Zhen, as if he wanted to hear what she meant, Huai Zhen reluctantly smiled: "Actually, it's nothing...... It's all childish, so there's no need for my wife to ask. ”

Although Ling Xiao is young, he is very alert, and when he saw Huaizhen like this, he bowed his head.

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Lin ** washed up and tidied up, and then came back, still gossiping and laughing, and no longer mentioning those unpleasant things, Huaizhen looked at her demeanor carefully, but thought about Ling Xiao's words in his heart.

It turned out that what Ling Xiao said in her ear was: "There are bad people in the house, take a needle and prick Ling Yun!"

When Huai Zhen heard this, he instantly felt as if someone had pricked himself with a needle, and he was really shocked and painful. - Imagine that Ling Xiao is small but clever, and he will not make up any lies at will, not to mention that he has been saying this since last time......

However, this is the Ling Mansion after all, it is not easy for outsiders to interfere, why Kulin** does not seem to be a weak and bullying person, and he will not blindly sit still......

But although I thought so in my heart, I looked at Ling Yun's soft and glutinous appearance, and then looked at Ling Xiao...... After all, she is a mother, and she can't imagine that someone would be so ruthless and would be so cruel to such a good child.

If the other party is not Lin ** but someone else, Huaizhen is afraid that he will immediately ask him face to face...... But in the past, she had some past with Lin **, and until now, they can't open their hearts to each other, so where is the best way to talk about these sensitive things? If she knows that it is good intentions, if she has other thoughts...... Isn't it something else?

What's more, this is a family matter of the Ling Mansion, and Lin ** probably doesn't want others to know, otherwise he would have been in front of Mrs. Tang, why didn't he mention it?

Therefore, Huaizhen couldn't help but ask, but after all, he didn't feel at ease, so he took a loophole, so he pulled Ling Xiao to the place where there was no one, and said in a low voice: "Xiao'er will return to the house in the future, and remember to be smart, if someone does this to you or Ling Yun, you ...... Just go and sue your second uncle, and let your second uncle call the shots for you, remember?"

Ling Xiao looked at her with wide eyes, and said hesitantly, "Mother doesn't allow me to sue anyone else." ”

Huai Zhen shook his head, held Ling Xiao's shoulder and said, "Xiao'er is obedient, only secretly remembers Auntie's words, your second uncle will not harm you...... If I knew, I would definitely deal with the bad guys and protect you. ”

It turned out that Huai Zhen thought to himself, since someone was so poisonous, and looking at Lin **'s behavior, it seemed that he couldn't control those people...... Because Huai Zhen had seen Princess Qingyan's temperament, he somewhat understood what was going on in the undercurrent in the Ling Mansion.

But no matter what, it is absolutely intolerable to do it to the child, although Ling Jue is cold, but he really loves his two nephews, if he knows this, he will interfere with it once and for all.

Ling Xiao looked at Huai Zhen carefully for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "I listen to my aunt." ”

In the afternoon, Huai Zhen said goodbye and wanted to go back to the house because she saw her come in person, knowing that she was worried about Xiao Jin'er, and Mrs. Tang guarded Xiao Jin'er for a few days, not to mention that the two brothers Lingxiao Lingyun were also there at this moment, so they asked Huai Zhen to take Xiao Jin'er back, and let the nurse and others follow.

Lin ** hugged Ling Yun and sent it to the second gate with Mrs. Tang before stopping. Ling Xiaowu held the corner of Huaizhen's clothes by himself, and was persuaded in every possible way, before he finally reluctantly let go of his hand.

It is said that Huaizhen went out with the maids, but when he walked to the gatehouse, he heard someone say: "I heard that our master is going to go out of Beijing to Haijiang the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if it's true or ......not."

Huai Zhen suddenly heard this sentence, only to feel that his mind was wandering, and he didn't know how he got out of the Tang Mansion.

I got into the car like this, I don't know if it was because I heard Ling Xiao say those terrible things, or because I was too tired from going in and out of the palace for several days, or because the carriage was a little bumpy, and my heart was very useless, and there was a faint sense of turbulence.
