Mu Ciyin was in a bad mood since she came back from Han Dixi, and she just stayed in the room like this, her mind was blank, she just couldn't remember what she saw at that time, and before she knew it, the sky gradually darkened.

"Miss, Miss, someone from the palace said that they wanted to pick you up and let you change into plain clothes."

"Entering the palace so late? Did you say what's the matter? ”

"No, the slave didn't dare to ask, looking at the father-in-law's expression, I'm afraid that something happened to the stern zhòng, the slave and maid are waiting for you to change your clothes."

"Okay."

Although Mu Ciyin didn't understand what was going on, she still changed into plain clothes and went to the palace as instructed.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and the father-in-law who led the way shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the Yonghe Palace has arrived." ”

"I'm tired of my father-in-law." Mu Ciyin nodded respectfully to the father-in-law, this father-in-law is not low at a glance, but he can't be lazy.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, please come here."

Mu Ciyin followed the father-in-law into the Yonghe Palace, and as soon as she stepped in, she realized that something was wrong, this was not the emperor's palace, nor was it the palace of the harem ladies, and the atmosphere around her was still a little wrong, and she faintly heard some cries.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, what happened?"

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will know when you go in."

Seeing that her father-in-law was vague and didn't tell her, Mu Ciyin didn't ask him anymore, but only quickened her pace and walked towards the inner hall. As soon as she entered the inner hall, Mu Ciyin saw a group of people kneeling around a bed in the inner room, and the maids and fathers-in-law who were kneeling around the place were crying, and then looked carefully, and found that there were still today's saints, queen mothers, princes, seven princes and other princes and princesses kneeling around the bed, harem girls, she thought to herself, it is estimated that some noble person has died, but there are not many people in this world who can make the saint and the queen kneel, so Mu Ciyin immediately figured out who the person on the bed was, walked over quickly and knelt beside Qi Xu.

Qi Xu only glanced at her, didn't say a word, and stared at the person on the bed again. Mu Ciyin also took advantage of the situation, and sure enough, it was indeed Qi Xu's grandfather who was lying there, that is, the emperor, lying there peacefully, she guessed that she didn't suffer any sin when she died, looking at the old man who was talking and laughing with her a few days ago suddenly lying there so coldly, Mu Ciyin suddenly felt desolate in her heart.

"Your Majesty, everyone is together."

"Give a salute."

"Yes."

The great eunuch Zhongxian, who served the emperor all his life, presided over the kneeling ceremony, because the sudden departure of the emperor caused turmoil in the country, so his death this time can not be done with the number of ceremonies of the death of the Son of Heaven in the past, and can only be handled in the palace, and the whole country can not mourn together. Mu Ciyin also followed Qi Xu to kneel in the mourning hall for three days and gave the old man a ride.

This is how the funeral of the Emperor Taishang passed.

"Your Highness, go back." Mu Ciyin looked at Qi Xu, who had not touched a drop of water and had not eaten anything in the past few days, and felt very distressed, but he was also a person who had been with him for several months, and it was uncomfortable to see him so uncomfortable.

"Yin Yin, the imperial grandfather is gone."

"Your Royal Highness, the imperial grandfather must also hope that you are happy, your body like this is unbearable, and the imperial grandfather will not rest in peace in the heavenly spirit, so let's go back to the house to eat something and rest and rest."

"Yin Yin ......"

"Your Highness, let's go." Mu Ciyin pulled the haggard Qi Xu into the carriage and was speechless all the way.

Qi Xu, who returned to the Prince's Mansion, was still in a low mood, but he still listened to Mu Ciyin's words, drank some white porridge, and went back to the room to lie down, Mu Ciyin stayed next to him until he was sure that he was really asleep, and then returned to his room.

"Xiaoqing, get me some water, I haven't taken a good shower in the past few days, and I'm a little uncomfortable."

"Yes, miss."

Mu Ciyin lay on the bed after taking a bath and looked tired, and fell asleep after a while, and she didn't sleep well in the past few days, and she was also tired.

It seems that they have been too tired for the past few days, Qi Xu and Mu Ciyin both slept until noon before waking up, and after getting up, they didn't communicate much, so they only had lunch together and went back to the house to continue sleeping, a decadent and desolate scene.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor announced that you and the crown princess have entered the palace."

"Got it, Ali, you go and inform the crown princess, I'll wait for her at the door."

"Yes."

Mu Ciyin was still taking a nap when she received the news, and she wanted to scold the person who disturbed her dreams, but as soon as she heard that it was the emperor who announced that she had entered the palace, she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly freshened up and walked outside.

The two of them sat in the carriage and still didn't say a word, the atmosphere was strange and scary, Mu Ciyin was about to suffocate to death, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Your Highness, I don't know what happened to the Holy Lord's decree to enter the palace?" ”

Qi Xu's mind was not here at all, and he gorgeously ignored the words that Mu Ciyin finally mustered up the courage to say, and always remained silent, and then silent. Mu Ciyin looked at him like that and thought that it was better not to provoke him, so she continued to sit there as a dead mouse.

Mu Ciyin sat in the carriage like a year, which just made her catch up with the funeral, this iceberg man has recovered his iceberg appearance again, what can she do! I finally waited for a long time and finally got off the bus.

"Your Royal Highness, the crown princess, the Yong'an Palace has arrived, the emperor is in the study, let the servants lead you over."

"I'm tired of my father-in-law, father-in-law, please."

Mu Ciyin and Qi Xu followed the father-in-law who led the way to the emperor's study. When I arrived at the study, I found that the queen mother was also here, and the faces of the two of them were much better than before, and they were a little more angry.

"The sons and daughters greet the father and the queen mother."

"Get up, sit down. This time I announced that you would come in to ask for your opinions. ”

"I don't know what my father wants to ask?"

"Your grandfather's funeral can't be mourned by the whole country, and it can't be done in a big way, I think about whether to send a princess or prince to guard the imperial tomb for three years, which can be regarded as a filial piety for me and your mother."

"The father and the emperor have thought about this matter thoughtfully, and the sons think it is feasible, but I don't know who the father and the queen mother choose?"

"Your eldest brother died of illness since he was a child, the second brother and the third brother have been guarding the border passes, it is inconvenient to come back, the fourth sister is married, only the fifth sister and the sixth sister are still in the boudoir, you also know the body of your seventh brother, I am afraid it is inconvenient to go to the imperial tomb, I discussed it with your mother, and it is suitable for your fifth sister and sixth sister, but I don't know who is more appropriate to send, so I want to ask you and the princess what they mean."

Qi Xu pondered for a while, and seemed to be entangled in the question of who to send, "Father, the son-in-law doesn't know who to send, the fifth sister and the sixth sister are of the same age, and they are very favored by the emperor's grandfather on weekdays, this, the son-in-law really doesn't know what to do?" ”

"Yes, your father is also entangled in this, and can't think of a solution, and your fifth and sixth sisters are also at the age when they should get married. The queen mother on the side is more worried about the future marriage of the two princesses, although these two princesses are not her own, but after all, she also called her the emperor, and she can't miss the major events of their lives.
