After the second prince and the second princess left the Dingguo General's Mansion, the guests who came to mourn also left one after another.

The hall was full of guests, and how many of them really came for General Gu?

It's hard to say.

It's not your own relatives, even if it's sad, it's limited.

The Xia family followed the others to leave halfway - almost all of the people who stayed in the end were close to the general's mansion - and the Wen family also deliberately sent the female dependents outside the second gate, until they made peace with the old man Xia who was waiting in the outer courtyard, and then they stayed.

In just a short walk, Luo Ziqian was keenly aware of Wen's overly gentle and somewhat scrutinizing attitude towards Xia Chu, not on guard, but as if he was paying extra attention.

Her gaze fell on Gu Teng, who was accompanying the Dingguo general Gu Yao and accompanying Old Man Xia to wait for them to come out, and froze slightly.

…… No way?

Luo Ziqian subconsciously glanced down at Xia Chu, but saw that her expression was a little light, and it seemed that it was not quite the same as usual. She never looked at the handsome young man, or rather, she didn't notice the person next to her.

It's a little strange, she looks like this, others can't see anything unusual, but she clearly feels the girl's soul.

There are only two carriages from Xia Mansion to pick up people, and there are many people on the female side, so it seems crowded. After getting into the carriage, because the Wu family, the Xiao Wu family, and Xia Bangqiu were there, Luo Ziqian didn't ask Xia Chu anything.

The crowd was not in high spirits.

When I went out as a guest on a hot day, although there was an ice basin in the house, I was still sweating, and the **** underwear was very sticky, and it was not comfortable to stick to my body at all. At this moment, five or six people were crammed into the semi-enclosed carriage, and it was even more stuffy.

The car in which the men were sitting stopped in front of the house, but they went straight into the inner courtyard before stopping.

"It's all gone, dinner will be used in your own room, and you don't have to come over to say hello at night, take a good rest and escape the heat." Luo Ziqian sent everyone away directly at the gate of the courtyard, and he didn't even care about Xia Bangqiu, who was going to beat Xia Bangqiu again.

"Yes, Mother." Wu said busily.

Xiao Wu and Xia Bangqiu also followed: "Yes, grandmother." ”

Nodding, Luo Ziqian led Xia Chu back to Cihe Hall, and after washing up, they sat down together again.

For a while, they were a little speechless.

In the end, it was Xia Chu who opened his mouth first and ended the unspeakable silence: "Peace her...... How are you doing? ”

Peaceful.

These two words are used in a wide range of places, and every year there are phrases such as 'the house is safe'.

But Luo Ziqian knew that the peace in her mouth was a name.

And as a name, and someone who is familiar to both of them, there is only one.

Luo Ziqian was slightly stunned.

After the two 'recognized', they understood who the other party was and their embarrassing identities now, but they had a very tacit understanding and never mentioned the things of their previous lives.

Those people and things, no matter how unforgettable, are all in the past after all, and they are not worth mentioning.

Xia Chu must have understood this truth, so she never asked what happened after her death.

A man dies like a lamp goes out.

But if there is someone in the world who worries her, she Luo Ziqian can only rank second at most.

The first is peace.

Ping An is the queen's daughter, although she was not born, but as soon as she landed, she was raised by her side, and it was also recorded in her name, which is not much different from her own birth.

The queen never asked him why he did this.

But Luo Ziqian knew that the emperor wanted to make amends.

She has been an empress all her life, but she has never even seen a shadow of a child in her life - not that she can't give birth, but that the emperor doesn't dare to let her give birth. The descendants of Liang Guogong are too famous to be the empress, but they cannot be the biological mother of the next emperor.

And the reason why Xia Chu's body deteriorated so quickly was not because of an unknown rare disease as the imperial doctor said, but because the emperor had people give her a debilitating medicine - he wanted her to die before him.

He didn't even want her to be the nominal queen mother.

No matter how good the Luo family's internal strength method is, it can't compete with someone deliberately trying to corrupt her body.

But the queen has been so gentle and obedient all her life, she has never done a wrong thing, and she has missed a step, and the emperor is naturally ashamed. In the end, when her health was getting worse and worse, she gave a child to talk to her for comfort.

Before the queen died, she handed over the only princess in the palace with the nickname Ping'an to her to raise on her behalf.

That year, Ping An was only eight years old.

Sometimes Luo Ziqian thinks that the queen actually knows, right?

Why did her body deteriorate so quickly, why did it come to an end so quickly.

At least, she must have been clear when she was safely hugged.

“…… She's fine. Luo Ziqian sorted out the wording: "When she was in time, I personally wore a phoenix crown for her. Later, I decided to make her my mother's nephew...... Eighteen-year-old pro, His Majesty...... Ahem, the title is peaceful. ”

Married into the General's Mansion......

A hint of relief flashed in Xia Chu's eyes, and he said softly: "That's good." ”

He didn't ask any more questions.

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Ziqian's eyes.

Did she believe in her mother's family like that?

Is it because ...... Why did she tell her too much about the things in the General's Mansion at the beginning?

However, Ping'an's child is indeed doing well, she has always believed in herself, and she also has a good impression of her mother's family, and even when she got married, she refused the princess's mansion given by the emperor, and directly married into the Luo family with her grandmother and palace maid and a rich dowry.

A few years later, the Luo family split up early, and the young couple also had an independent house.

Although the concubine is not allowed to participate in politics, the emperor loves this daughter very much, as if he wants to compensate the queen for everything, and authorized Princess Anping to join the Golden Scale Guard, and after the resignation of his original henchman, he took over the palace guard that he most trusted the palace.

The emperor's favor for Princess Anping can be seen.

After the emperor's great trip, she became a noble concubine. Because she did not have the respect of the queen mother, she occupied the land of Cining Palace, and she was nominally a concubine, but she was no different from the queen mother. The new emperor is generous, the princes have been divided, among the princesses, only Anping added the title of the eldest princess, and specially gave Ruian the title.

Luo Ziqian knew that this was all the emperor's will during his lifetime, and the new emperor just did it.

In the years that followed, the authority of the kings was repeatedly weakened, and the princesses who married outside were not as free as the first emperor and then again, but the eldest princess Ryan had a smooth life, and the concubine was still valued by the new emperor, and later took charge of the Golden Scale Guard.

Cintiq ...... His biological mother died early, and in his early years, he received many favors from the queen.

Maybe in the eyes of Xia Chu, she just did what a virtuous and virtuous queen should do, but for the new emperor when she was a child, it was like a charcoal in the snow, and it was the only warmth he could absorb in the cold court.

Give people roses, and there is a lingering fragrance in your hands.

She thought that Xia Chu would ask about these things one by one, but until now, she only asked about peace.

It can be seen how much damage that palace has done to her. In her previous life, she always thought that she was indifferent and peaceful, and she paid attention to doing nothing and doing nothing, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she seems to be heartbroken, so she is no longer moved.

Because if you see it through, you won't be sad anymore.

After all, she is the original wife, and the emperor was over thirty years old when he boarded the plane, but he never had a son-in-law.

I'm afraid that from the very beginning, he was looking at the throne, and he had already thought about how to deal with what happened next.

As long as you understand this, not to mention the beginning of summer, it is her, and her teeth are cold.

The most ruthless imperial family!

"By the way, why are you with Gu Teng today?" Luo Ziqian thought of Wen again, and wondered in his heart if she had fallen in love with Xia Chu...... If this situation was changed in the previous life, she would not feel strange at all, Xia Chu's character was superior, and it was a matter of course to be looked down upon and loved.

But this life is different.

Xia Chu learned that her daughter's life was not bad later, so she had a matter in her heart, and she was stunned for a moment when she heard her question, and then remembered that she was talking about going to Mrs. Gu's house at that time, so she briefly told the story before and after.

Luo Ziqian didn't have the slightest superfluous thoughts on Xia Chu's face, and didn't seem to take that Gu Ting in his eyes, and his heart was stunned.

She is also stupid, she is a person who has seen the emperor, and the Liang family has more beautiful characters, a Gu Teng, in the eyes of Xia Chu, I am afraid that the ordinary can no longer be ordinary, and it is really not enough to see.

Gu Teng has nothing to do with Luo Ziqian, she just worried about it in vain.

Just looking back and thinking about it, I am afraid that the family affairs at the beginning of the summer in the future will be a big problem...... Luo Ziqian felt in his heart that even the princes in this world may not be worthy of her.

Is there a young man who is good enough to match her?

Not to mention, she thought about it for a while, and tasted many teenagers of the right age she had seen one by one, but she really couldn't find a candidate who could make her feel satisfied!

What can I do?

Xia Chu didn't notice that Luo Ziqian was worried about her relatives, and if she knew, she was afraid that she would be a mediocre person.

**

The funeral of General Gu of the Dingguo General's Mansion was grand.

On the second day, after the Gu family received the emperor's decree, there were more guests who went to mourn the letter. Because they had already been there the day before, the Yi Xia family only sent the Wu family and his wife to participate, and they had to sit every day in the past few days.

It's just that in the middle of summer, the hot weather makes the body decay faster, even if there are ice cubes cold, but it can't survive for seven days, so it has to stop for three days, and then bang and bang on the road to be buried.

On that day, the ancestral grave of the Gu family on the outskirts of the capital, the yellow and white paper in the sky flew like poplar flowers, and there were people who had heard of the prestige of the old man Gu along the road.

General Gu had an excerpt because he wanted to keep filial piety, but he didn't allow it today, so he let him take away his love. But he refused, and repeatedly went to Ding Worry, and there was news that Mrs. Gu was sick in bed and couldn't get up.

Since then, the Gu family has closed their doors and kept their filial piety.

When they learned the news, the Xia family was sending Mid-Autumn Festival gifts everywhere, including a copy of the Dingguo General's Mansion - although filial piety is not good for a big banquet, the festival still has to be passed.

The subordinates of the Gu family who came to return the gift should have been instructed by the master, and deliberately gave this time to the people close to them.

The Mid-Autumn Festival family also gave the invited gentleman a holiday, so that he didn't have to go to class these days, Xia Bangqiu was taken by Wu to teach family affairs, Xiao Wu was sick a few days ago, Mei was pregnant with a bitter summer, but only at the beginning of the summer accompanied Luo Ziqian every day.

"It seems that my body is really not very good today." Luo Ziqian said to her thoughtfully.

Although the emperor said long live, he was only a mortal in the end, and all mortals were born, old, sick and died. The news of today's bad health has been spread for several years, and the hearts of those who have been impetuous for a long time have once again stabilized, if it weren't for the Gu family revealing such a thing, Luo Ziqian would not have thought of this.

Those who are officials in the court, only those who are unwilling to worry, how can there be those who are unwilling to win love?

And the saints of the Gu family are long, and they have always been valued today, that is, after three years of Ding Wei's filial piety, it is also a sure thing to recover, why do you want to win love again and again today?

This time and again, the astute people felt that it was not as simple as General Gu's filial piety to keep filial piety for his father!

People's hearts began to fluctuate.

Everyone wants to be from the dragon's skill, but they also need to have an accurate vision to pick the target.

Today, there are three sons who are all candidates for the throne - the first prince is the eldest prince, and according to the law, he is the rightful heir, but unfortunately he died early. Since then, there has been no prince, and now the ownership of the throne is confusing.

These three princes are divided into: the second prince, the seventh prince and the ninth prince.

The second prince is in the prime of life, and the most important of the three princes is old. He was several years older than the other two, and he participated in the affairs of the court at an early age, and he was a good person in government affairs, and he is often praised today.

It's just that he comes from a low background, and he doesn't have a strong foreign family to support him. The wife is from a noble background, and although her mother's family is prominent, those people are the most reluctant to wade into this troubled water, so they seem to be alone.

The Seventh Prince is also in his twenties, young and vigorous, and it is inevitable that there will be some minor problems, which is harmless, but when he is a candidate for the prince, he will inevitably be criticized and criticized.

However, his maternal ancestor was the Duke of Yasukuni, who had always been close to the emperor, and his wife was from a scholarly family, so she took advantage of both the noble and the Qingliu, and was also a powerful candidate for the throne.

The Nine Emperors are seventeen years old, and they have not been married for two years, and they are upright and upright, and they are very favored today. His mother was a concubine of the dynasty, and she was the only one of the three princes whose mother was still there, which undoubtedly pulled a lot of points for him.

As for the rest, it was still built in the prince's ...... Except for those who are too young and have no chance, others don't mention it.

Because of this incident, many families in Beijing have not had a good Mid-Autumn Festival.

But the Xia family got good news.

But it was news from Jiangyin, the former Jiangyin County Commander was found out for bribing more than 10,000 yuan in silver, and he was directly imprisoned. There was no one in the county office, so Xia Qing temporarily acted on behalf of the county for a period of time, and got the exact news in June, because he had a good evaluation in the past two years, and the officials directly mentioned him as the successor to the Jiangyin County Order, and another clerk was mentioned as the responsibility of the county, and the lack of documents did not have to be selected by the imperial court, and he himself could be selected from the county students.
