returned to the outer hall, in front of the ceremonial officials, fathers-in-law, grandmothers, and palace maids, Wei Yanran was the strict and cautious woman again.

Xue Mingyu stroked her stomach and quietly listened to the movement outside, and sure enough, after a stick of incense, Wuqin, dressed as a palace maid, came in silently. Ordinary maidservants are not allowed to enter the palace at will. Outside, there was a chaotic and hurried footsteps, but no human voices could be heard.

Listening to the sound of those footsteps, listening to the anxiety and anxiety in the sound of the soles of the feet rubbing against the floor, cramped and uneasy, and swaying back and forth in his heart over and over again, Xue Mingyu thought to himself, the palace is really a place where people can't help but suppress their unprovoked nightmares.

Emperor Daxing stopped in the funeral palace for January. The members of the civil and military officials and the royal family mourned outside the noon gate for seven days, wore mourning clothes for the twenty-seventh day, and Wuzhou banned any entertainment and marriage.

On the third day of the second month, Emperor Daxing was mourned and buried in the tomb of Emperor Qingwu. After a hundred years of the queen, she was buried in the mausoleum of the concubine and was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum. The concubine moved to Qingwu Palace.

On the sixth day of the second month, the new emperor ascended the throne. Changing the Yuan Xiaoming is the first year of Xiaoming.

At the beginning of this new year, at the end of winter, Qin Junxiu and Xue Mingyu spent their time in **** going back and forth between Cloud Mountain Villa and the palace. Qin Junxiu was busy assisting Qin Junjia in his funeral and ascending the throne, and Xue Mingyu went to kneel outside the noon gate every other day to mourn for an hour, that is, to cry with everyone. As soon as she came back from the noon gate, Wei Yanran sent the imperial doctor to wait for her in the side hall. However, Xue Mingyu felt that although this was just for show, it should also be. On the day of the funeral, Xue Mingyu participated in the whole process, and at other times, he was just in a daze in the side hall of Qingliang Hall by **** without time.

On the eighth day of February, Qin Junxiu began his career as a carpenter in Cuiwei Mountain House again. It's just that it's getting more and more silent, and more and more work is being done. Xue Mingyu just accompanied him silently. The outdoor slide took Qin Junxiu two days to finish, and it was carefully sanded several times with sandpaper. Those small beds and small cars look like there are many styles, but fortunately, they are not big things, and it only took seven or eight days for Qin Jun to complete them.

On February 19, when Qin Junxiu and Xue Mingyu went to the workshop again, Hongfu was crossing her waist and directing the little girls to clean up the sawdust dust, and asked the rough mother-in-law to move the finished things to the vacant house to put them away. They followed and looked, and there were four chambers in a row, all of which were full. The corners of Xue Mingyu's mouth twitched slightly, if Qin Junxiu went to be a carpenter, he should be able to support his family.

Holding the sword dangling at the door, Qin Junxiu frowned, "I'm going out for something." ”

"Good. There you go. Xue Mingyu nodded unintentionally. When Qin Junxiu dealt with things before, he was in Jiajin Hall and did not avoid her. But it was the fourth time that he had come to find Qin Junxiu like this. The first three times were just a few days ago, but Qin Junxiu just walked away for a while and came back. She didn't ask, and he didn't say. When he came back, Xue Mingyu found that the speed of the work in his hands had been much faster.

It's been six months now. Although I have always been a vegetarian, I can't swallow a bite of meat and I can't look at it, but I am completely pregnant. Xue Mingyu touched her stomach and felt a little uneasy.

That night, Qin Junxiu did not return until the beginning of the year. He went to bed lightly, and before he lifted the quilt, Xue Mingyu turned over and stared at him with big eyes. Qin Junxiu's hands stiffened, "I'm sorry, I came back a little late." ”
