The second day of the award ceremony was a solemn state funeral......

There are more than 180 black coffins in total, most of them are nobles who were martyred on the battlefield, and some of them are civilian non-commissioned officers who have made great achievements but have not had time to be honored or played a heavy role in a certain battle, but most of them are well-dressed, and it is difficult for complete corpses to be sent back on the front-line battlefield.

The ceremony is solemn and long, but for the real mourners, the burial after the ceremony is the focus of the entire state funeral.

Lin An watched the coffins fall into the rectangular burial pit, listening to the low sobs in his ears, many people showed sadness, among them, in addition to the families of the victims, there were also some nobles who were not related to each other, and they also obviously showed a strong sadness, and were reminded of the bad memories of the funeral in front of them.

This was also a reality of the Merlin aristocracy.

In order to maintain the status and honor of the family, the blood and souls of the children of the family are buried under every famous surname, and even a certain Cheng dù, the Merlin nobles are used to and mentally prepared for the situation in front of them.

Because of the years of war, Merlin encouraged childbearing, and was the only country among the three continental countries that explicitly legislated to abolish slavery, although many places still used a lot of slaves, but these were set up for official or military needs, even the nobility did not allow private slaves, and compared to the Holy Empire, where slavery was prevalent, and Perre, who blatantly captured slaves and transported slaves because of commercial relations, Merlin's slaves were in a much better situation.

It can be said that the human rights that Merlin is relatively valued by the aristocracy because of the population problem is one of the reasons why Lin An is relatively easy to recognize and integrate into Merlin, and it is difficult for her to imagine how she could integrate into a country where she could easily kill slaves or exchange a cow for twenty slaves at the beginning - I am afraid that it would have taken all her energy to save herself and escape from this country.

After the funeral, the emperor, who attended the funeral, announced the official start of the three-day grand ceremony tomorrow before the nobles left. At the same time, a deafening cheer reached the sky outside the cemetery, as if the entire capital was shouting.

This exhilarating cheer washed away the solemn and sad atmosphere of the funeral, and some elderly nobles even showed faint smiles.

This is also the usual custom of Merlin, the mourning of the mourning should not be kept for too long after the funeral, they think that too much longing will disturb the sleep of the deceased, only the true joy of relatives can make the deceased rest assured to sleep, not lingering in nostalgia.

As a result, the funeral was often followed by celebrations, and this state funeral was celebrated throughout the country, even the emperor would announce the temporary lifting of the prohibition of alcohol, and at the same time grant amnesty to all criminals except those on death row and 10,000 slaves in the name of the royal family until the end of autumn......

When Lin An returned by car. Many of the gates of the city have been removed from the sweet branches and white bells, which represent the remembrance of the mourning festival, and replaced with brightly colored flowers, bacon and spring water, which represent the celebration of hospitality, and the solemnity of the state funeral has been swept away!

She withdrew her gaze from peering. I can't help but sigh: "What a strong nation!" ”

"This is a character that has long been integrated into Merlin's blood." John replied.

At the same time, he noticed that Lin An's words and feelings when he said this sentence obviously did not substitute himself, so it seems that it is very likely that Lin An was not born in Merlin.

Of course, for Johanham, it is obvious that Lin An is not of Merlin blood. No matter what her background is, it doesn't affect his loyalty, but Lin An's tone of speech is obviously not suitable for appearing in front of people, and he must admonish him.

"It's in front of you, it's more casual!" Lin An complained quietly.

Then this sentence was heard by John, who looked at her disapprovingly, "But also watch out for the ears of the wall." Although you have strong mental power, the Imperial Capital is full of forbidden circles, and there may be some way to avoid your perception to prying eyes. ”

Lin An had no choice but to be taught with an open mind. It means that he will never talk so casually again.

She also knew that the previous words were just casual talk, and it was tiring enough to ignore everyone's eyes in front of people and maintain etiquette with a straight face, and in private Lin An wanted to relax a little to relieve the pressure.

When these words are spoken. Several carriages were running side by side, and one carriage with a window only two or three feet apart lifted the curtains. Andrei's face was revealed. Because of the close distance, Lin An was by the window when he spoke, and Andre seemed to vaguely hear their conversation and asked:

"Snooping on what?"

Without waiting for Lin An to answer, Andre remembered something, and said dissatisfiedly: "Indeed, the sight of those people is too blatant, An, you'd better not go out often!" "It looks like he wants to hide Lin An.

This made John frown slightly, but looked at Lin An, who didn't think it was a pestle, and didn't say anything.

Lin An was used to Andre's attitude, but it was a little funny. Without waiting for her to answer, the carriage turned into another avenue leading to Miyagi, Andre's carriage was blocked by the one in front, and Lin An's carriage overtook him, and the carriage behind followed, making Andrei's carriage farther and farther away......

There are a lot of carriages today, because there are rules and regulations for participating in the heavy ceremony of state funerals, from dress to communication, and the carriage representing the identity is of course one of them, so don't say that Lin An and Andre, even Andre and Sheryl, can't ride in the same car,:.

The carriage and coachman used by Lin An today were all deployed by the court officials from the outside court, and the regulations were appropriate, and the coachman's skills were not bad, at least Lin An felt that the carriage had been very stable and there were no bumps.

There was some time for the coachman to choose the return route, but there are so many nobles today that the road still has to be clogged as they get closer to Miyagi.

Lin An's carriage left the cemetery a little late, and arrived slowly, just at the end of the convoy.

Seeing that the carriage had come to a complete standstill, and a little strange, john knocked on the plank between him and the coachman, where there was a vent that could be opened and closed, and asked:

"Why did it stop?"

Even if it is blocked again, as long as there is a departing carriage in front, it should still be able to move forward slowly, this kind of blockage is not the big congestion of all the intersections in all directions in Lin An's previous life.

"Two adults, there seems to be a conflict between adults in front of you, blocking the road." The coachman replied.

John frowned, this is the avenue leading to Miyagi in the inner city, how can anyone not open their eyes to cause disputes here, and block so many people in the back.

"Let him get out of the car and check on the situation, if it doesn't work. Just make a U-turn as soon as possible, it's okay to take a long detour. ”

This kind of blockage can be long or short, Lin An took out the method of dealing with congestion in his previous life, there are many powerful people in the imperial capital, in case the front is deep in the background and is not afraid of offending people, and he has been blocked and does not go, and the cars behind him are blocked and retreated, blocking them back and forth, it will be annoying - people who live in the urban jungle always have a deep-rooted aversion to traffic jams. Even if the impression of similar scenes is blurred, this kind of situation is still preserved.

So the coachman went down to make inquiries.

And Lin An's worries were indeed justified, a moment later. Another carriage followed.

However, the regulations of this car are much larger than Lin An's, and it was not blocked behind Lin An's carriage, but came to the side of Lin An's carriage. However, the other party's coachman was skillful and steadfastly controlled the horses, and did not let the two carriages rub the slightest bit.

Since Lin An learned to ride a horse, he has been more interested in things related to horses, and he glanced through the gauze curtain, and saw the royal emblem outside the carriage at first glance. It seems that the owner of the carriage is a royal family, and judging from the royal family's carriage regulations, this carriage can be regarded as low-key.

"Is it Master An?"

Just thinking about it. The other party lifted the curtains, and a green-eyed man with a subtle smile appeared at the car window, speaking in a calm tone, as if the person he was asking was not the first time to speak.

Lin An recognized this one and also raised the curtain. Nodding slightly to him and the woman behind him, "Your Highness Byron." His Royal Highness Cameron. ”

The two couples nodded their heads in response, their attitude was approachable, without the dignity and arrogance of the royal family, it seems that the information is right, the second prince is the most low-key and easy one among all the princes and princesses.

"What's going on up ahead?" The second prince looked at Lin An's gaze slightly amazed when he spoke, but his gaze remained above the end of Lin An's nose and did not wander, which did not make Lin An feel unhappy.

"It's not clear, Your Highness. My coachman went to see the situation. Lin An replied.

The second prince nodded, and also sent the coachman down, and then exchanged a few words with Lin An, and the princess Cameron also interjected, "I have admired the name of the purple rose for a long time, and today I saw that Master Lin was really extraordinary, worthy of his name." ”

Lin An was modest, and said a few more words to the prince and couple, and the topic shifted to the turn of summer and autumn, the wild animals in the hunting grounds near the imperial capital were fat and not old, and the plush began to be plump, and this season was just the right time for safaris, Lin An and the second prince's coachman came back before and after.

The two sides ended their conversation, and after a while, the front was blocked, and the carriage began to move slowly again.

"What's going on?" The second prince asked in the sound of the carriage.

"Your Highness, it's the Phillips family's carriage that collides with the Warren family's carriage." The former is the queen's mother's family, and the latter is a military family.

Byron didn't have any comment, and the princess Cameron on the side asked, "And then?" ”

"The villain showed His Highness's token, and the Phillips family backed down first."

Princess Cameron said to her husband, "When we go back, we will say thank you to Lord Phillips." "The current head of the Phillips family is the uncle of the princes.

Byron closed his eyes for a moment and said lightly: "No need, don't pay attention to them, just treat it as if it didn't happen." ”

Princess Cameron looked at her husband for a moment, sighed lightly, and did not mention it again.

……

At the same time, Lin An, who also heard the reason, was surprised: "It is said that the military power is expanding, and it is really not groundless." ”

"In times of great war, this is inevitable," said John, "and the forces of the imperial capital are too complex for us outsiders to see clearly." ”

"As long as you don't provoke, you have nothing to do with us."

"That's right." John nodded.

Back at his lodgings, shortly after he sat down, Hemmer arrived.

Lin An didn't see him for the past two days, because Haimo was also from a great nobleman in the imperial capital, although he was not the main branch, but he was also a descendant of his branch, and he went home in the past two days.

No sooner had the two of them sat down and said a few words than Johnham came in with an invitation.

"Miss, the second prince's butler personally sent an invitation."

Because Haimo was not an outsider and did not need to be formal, Lin An looked through the invitation in person and found that it was an invitation to a safari organized by the second prince.

Lin An couldn't help laughing and said, "No wonder His Highness Byron mentioned the topic of autumn hunting just now!" This kind of invitation is really subtle and gentle, and it is really in line with the consistent style of the second prince.

"Looks like everyone else has been invited, too." John added. When he speaks of others, he means, of course, other recipients.

Hemmer said, "I came directly to you, maybe I will receive it when I go home." ”

"It seems that the object of the second prince's invitation is all the recipients, but I don't know that Lanster has not received it either? Could it be that this time we are in charge of His Highness Byron, but this is not always His Highness Charles's business? ”

Lin An thought about it and was a little surprised, "It seems that I have to go this time, and Andre also said that I should not go out and show up!" ”

"Isn't this invitation me coming at a bad time?"

Haimo was surprised, and also took out an invitation post, explaining to Lin An, "This is a salon held by a cousin and a few friends, I want to figure out that I invite you to go, if you don't want to go, I will help you refuse." ”
