Fat chapter, ask for a monthly pass

***

Qi Younian sent Cheng Dazhong to pick up Ji Xiaotang.

The eldest princess, Qin Min, died of illness in Jingci Nunnery in the early morning. Qi Younian knew the news for the first time and had already rushed to Jingci Nunnery. He didn't have time to pick up Ji Xiaotang, so he sent Cheng Dazhong to deliver the letter, and was responsible for taking Ji Xiaotang to Jingci Nunnery.

"This ......" Ji Xiaotang almost couldn't believe his ears, when she and Qi Younian left Jingci Nunnery yesterday, Qin Min was still fine. Moreover, she has been in contact with Qin Min for the past two days, and Qin Min's body is very healthy. And Qin Min talked to her a lot, and she never said that she had any hidden diseases.

Cheng Dazhong saw Ji Xiaotang's thoughts.

"The county lord, the general can't believe it, but ...... "This kind of thing, no one dares to joke, and there will be no misinformation."

Of course, Ji Xiaotang understands this truth.

"Thousands of households, wait a minute...... I'm going to change my clothes. Ji Xiaotang settled down, and let Cheng Dazhong wait outside, she went into the inner room by herself, and under the service of Mama Cheng and others, she quickly changed into plain clothes, and all the temporary ring jewelry on her head was also removed, and only two silver hairpins were inserted on her head, and then she came out again.

Ji Xiaotang wants to go to Jingci Nunnery.

Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji also knew the news, and both of them were also surprised. For such a big matter, Second Master Ji didn't worry about letting Ji Xiaotang go alone, so he also changed into a plain suit and went out with Ji Xiaotang.

The Ji family now has an in-law relationship with the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, and after Qin Min passed away, the Ji family must be more active than others.

Ji Xiaotang did not put the county lord's car. Because it was too late to change all the cars into plain colors, he simply sat in a carriage under the escort of Master Ji Er and Cheng Dazhong. Go straight to Jingci Nunnery.

Outside the Jingci Nunnery, some carriages and horses have been parked, and the signs of the carriages and horses are all from the Weiwu Hou Mansion.

Ji Xiaotang got out of the car, his eyes swept around quickly, and he saw Qi Younian's horse.

Qin Min died suddenly, and there was a little chaos in Jingci Nunnery. Because Ji Xiaotang came twice, he didn't need to be led by anyone, and entered the gate of Jingci Nunnery. I went straight to the house.

As soon as he walked to the door of the house, Ji Xiaotang heard a cry coming from inside.

Ji Xiaotang stopped at the door of the house, his fingernails pinching his palms. The cry was heard, and the illusion of so-called misinformation was completely shattered. But. It seems that as long as she doesn't walk through the door of this ashram. There is no need to face such a cruel reality, Qin Min will not die.

"Xiaotang ......"

Ji Er's call made Ji Xiaotang come back to his senses.

Ji Xiaotang settled down and took a step in the house. The closer he got to the upper room of the house, the louder the crying became, and Ji Xiaotang's footsteps became heavier.

When Ji Xiaotang walked up the steps, the curtain of the upper room was opened, and Mama Kong came out.

Mama Kong's eyes were red. But her eyes and face were dry, and she had clearly cried. And it seems that all the tears have been cried dry.

"County Lord ......" Mama Kong saluted Ji Xiaotang, and when she bent her knees, her body seemed to be unable to support it, so she crooked.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly stretched out his hand and held Mama Kong up.

"Mama, what's going on?" Ji Xiaotang asked Mama Kong, her voice was a little low, but unusually stable.

It's as if what she's facing is just an ordinary thing.

When Mama Kong raised her head, she saw that Ji Xiaotang was dressed in white, and only two plain silver hairpins were simply pulled on his head, except for these two hairpins, Ji Xiaotang had no other decorations on his body.

However, Ji Xiaotang's eyes were dry.

Ji Xiaotang didn't shed tears at all.

Mama Kong's heart moved slightly.

"Mama, what's going on?" Ji Xiaotang asked again, holding Mama Kong in his hand and not letting go, and his hands were slightly forced.

Mama Kong glanced at Ji Xiaotang again, and took Ji Xiaotang into the house.

Mama Kong told Ji Xiaotang that after Qin Min sent Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang away yesterday, there was nothing abnormal, and she simply had dinner in the evening and rested.

Over the years in Jingci'an, Qin Min has developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

When Qin Min fell asleep, everything was as usual.

Mama Kong was on night duty outside Qin Min's bedroom, and this night, Qin Min seemed to sleep soundly, but she didn't get up early in the morning as before. Mama Kong felt the same, and when she entered the bedroom, she found that Qin Min was no longer breathing.

“…… My body is cold. ”

Mama Kong blamed herself very much.

"Mama, don't think so." Ji Xiaotang squeezed Mama Kong's hand, "Grandmother Quanxia knows, and she doesn't want Mama to be like this." ”

Mama Kong led Ji Xiaotang into the house, and without speaking again, she stepped aside.

Qin Min's body, already decorated, was parked on the spiritual bed in the center of the house. Qi Younian knelt beside the mourning bed, and in addition to Qi Younian and the people serving in the nunnery, there were also several women and a few children in the room, all dressed in linen and filial piety, crying beside the mourning bed.

Although Ji Xiaotang didn't recognize these few, he could guess that these should be the ladies of the Mighty Marquis Mansion.

When Qi Younian saw Ji Xiaotang coming, he got up from the side of the spiritual bed and greeted him.

"Xiaotang ......" As soon as Qi Younian spoke, his voice choked.

Ji Xiaotang knows very well the relationship between Qin Min and Qi Younian's ancestors and grandchildren, Qin Min passed away, and the saddest thing in this room should be Qi Younian.

Although Qi Younian was sad, he did not forget the etiquette of the line. He had already seen Second Master Ji and was busy saluting Second Master Ji. The two of them exchanged a few words, and Qi Younian introduced Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang to Mrs. Weiwuhou.

The mighty Marquis lady Qin is in her early forties, with a long goose egg face, very demure, because she has cried, her face is slightly haggard.

The Qin family and Second Master Ji exchanged pleasantries slightly, and their eyes fell more on Ji Xiaotang's face.

Ji Xiaotang never thought that her first meeting with the Qin family would be in such a situation.

Because of this situation, the two did not talk much, and the Qin family treated Ji Xiaotang very politely.

Polite, not close.

Ji Xiaotang didn't care. She couldn't expect Qi Younian's relatives to accept her so quickly like Qin Min and treat her so kindly.

There was nothing but the Qin family in the house. There are also three aunts who have given birth to children in the Weiwu Houfu, as well as several sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces of Qi Younian.

Everyone saw it in a hurry, because there were mostly female dependents in the house, so Master Ji Er withdrew first.

Ji Xiaotang did not leave.

"I want to see my grandmother." Ji Xiaotang said to Qi Younian.

Qin's face showed a slightly surprised look, but he didn't say anything, and let Qi Younian lead Ji Xiaotang to Qin Min's spirit bedside.

Qin Min was dressed in gorgeous clothes and lay on the spiritual bed. His face was covered with a plain white veil.

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Qi Younian.

Qi Younian lifted the veil on Qin Min's face, and the Qin clan on the side raised his hand as if to stop it, but he took it back again.

Seeing Qin Min's face. Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and his eyes immediately moistened.

Qin Min's face was serene, as if he was asleep.

"My grandmother passed away in her sleep." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang already knows this.

"Grandmother was fine yesterday. What is my grandmother's hidden illness? Ji Xiaotang asked Qi Younian.

"My grandmother has always been healthy." Qi Younian said. Regarding Qin Min's sudden death, Qi Younian couldn't accept it.

"After all, the eldest princess is old, maybe because of excessive joy." Qin said slowly beside him. Qin Min passed away, and he had already invited a doctor to come and see him, saying that he died without illness.

Then the only reason that everyone can think of is the excessive joy.

Qin Min is already close to his prime, and at this time, he can be regarded as a long-lived old man. Died at her age. It can be called a joy and mourning.

However, Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang don't think so.

"Grandmother promised us to come to our wedding." Qi Younian muttered.

Qin didn't speak. Although his face was still soft, there was disapproval in his eyes when he looked at Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang may not care about others, but he can't care less about the Qin family, so he also sees the disapproval in the eyes of the Qin family. Ji Xiaotang met the Qin family for the first time, and his impression of the Qin family came from Qi Younian's narration.

Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang that his mother was gentle and obedient, and she was the most typical lady and the most impeccable housewife of the Hou Mansion.

However, such a Qin family may not like Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang understood these things in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't care whether the Qin family was happy or not.

"I want to be alone with my grandmother for a while." Ji Xiaotang said to the Qin family.

Qin was slightly stunned.

Ji Xiaotang is not the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Weiwu, her current identity is the county lord of Anle. The Qin family's treatment of Ji Xiaotang is also full of etiquette for the county lord.

The Qin family is indeed gentle and obedient, although Ji Xiaotang's request may not be in line with etiquette, but she hesitated a little and nodded.

"My mother and sister-in-law were busy early in the morning, so I took this opportunity to take a break, but I was afraid that guests would come to the door in a while." Qi Younian also said busily.

The Qin family glanced at Qi Younian, didn't speak, and took the ladies to the next room.

In this restless house, there are Qi Younian, Ji Xiaotang, and Mama Kong.

"I'm going to take a good look at my grandmother." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Xiaotang ......" Qi Younian heard it at once, Ji Xiaotang took a good look, not a look in the general sense.

"Grandmother passed away, and I have reported it to the palace as soon as possible, and invited three doctors from the Tai Hospital to ......" Qin Min is not only the old lady of the Weiwu Hou Mansion, but also the eldest princess, she passed away suddenly, of course, she can't be treated idly.

The three imperial doctors have carefully examined it, and there are no injuries on the body of the eldest princess, and there are no traces of poisoning, and she did not die of illness.

Mama Kong can testify to this.

Mama Kong nodded beside her.

"However, I don't believe ......, grandmother was fine yesterday. What to say about the joy of excess, I don't think that grandmother is such a fragile person. In front of Qi Younian and Mama Kong, Ji Xiaotang did not hide his true thoughts at all.

Mama Kong cried silently.

At first, she saw that Ji Xiaotang didn't shed tears, and she thought that Ji Xiaotang was cold-hearted, but now that Ji Xiaotang said such words, Mama Kong knew that Ji Xiaotang was not only not cold-minded, but very affectionate.

Not only is it very affectionate, but it is also as careful as a hair.

"I don't believe it either." Qi Younian agreed with Ji Xiaotang's statement.

But the doctors don't lie either. Before Ji Xiaotang came, Qi Younian, Qin and others also carefully examined.

Qin Min did die without a problem.

Three imperial doctors, Mama Kong. Qi Younian, the Qin family and the daughters of the Mighty Marquis Mansion, Ji Xiaotang is no longer willing, and he can only accept such a result.

"The county lord is heartbroken that the eldest princess has passed away, but it's better to forget such an idea as soon as possible, and don't let anyone know." Mama Kong suddenly whispered.

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Mama Kong.

Mama Kong lowered her head again.

"Thank you for the reminder. I know. Ji Xiaotang also said in a low voice.

Princess Taichang passed away, and sure enough, there were condolences soon after.

The first one to come was Qin Zhen. Immediately afterwards, it was Qin Lin, and then the palace also sent people, and the number of guests who mourned increased as they grew. Ji Xiaotang is not good to continue to stay in the mourning hall. I could only say goodbye to the Qin family and Qi Younian, and returned to Xinhuatang with Ji Er.

"The eldest princess died suddenly, and the marriage date of Xiaotang and Ayou is only afraid that it will be delayed." Xuanhuatang, Second Master Ji said.

Fortunately, Ji Xiaotang is still young, and the marriage is delayed for a year or two, so he can slowly buy a dowry.

"It's really an unpredictable situation, and people have good and bad luck." Master Ji sighed.

"That's it." Second Master Ji nodded.

"Still. The eldest princess is almost old, and it is not considered to have died young. Master Ji said again.

For Qin Min's passing. There are not a few people who have the same idea as Master Ji. People also say that the eldest princess was able to die without illness, or because of the blessings she received from practicing in Jingci Nunnery for many years.

The so-called longevity of the sixtieth birthday and the end of the disease without illness is something that the world cannot ask for, which requires extremely profound merit.

Qin Min's funeral was also extremely grand.

Because Ji Xiaotang has not passed through the door after all, he can only be a guest, and he can't guard Jingci Nunnery every day. However, she can receive messages sent by Qi Younian every day.

Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing came to Jingci Nunnery in person to mourn Qin Min.

Princess Changning also went to Jingci Nunnery, and cried very sadly in front of Qin Min's spirit.

And Qi Younian, as the only adult male left in Beijing in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, naturally took on most of Qin Min's funeral, and was busy from morning to night every day, except for sending someone to deliver news to Ji Xiaotang, he couldn't spare time to see Ji Xiaotang at all.

Ji Xiaotang also understands very well.

As for the men who were waiting to lead the troops outside, they did not come back to mourn. In addition to Wei Wuhou and his two sons guarding the north to confront the Beiban, Qi Younian's other two brothers also guarded important places. Now Daqin is uneasy inside and outside, although Qin Min has passed away, her children and grandchildren can't leave the land and come back to mourn.

The people in the Mighty Marquis Mansion did not complain in the slightest, and such things were already used to them for granted.

After several generations of the Son of Heaven, the Mighty Marquis Mansion has always held the military power and stood tall, and they also paid a great price.

The Hou Mansion is still holding a funeral, but the palace has begun to elect female officials.

On this day, Ji Xiaolian dressed up carefully and came to Xuanhuatang to say goodbye to Mrs. Ji and others.

Mrs. Ji didn't have anything to say, and Mrs. Ji only told Ji Xiaolian to be cautious.

"The palace is not as good as the family, and you don't have to care too much about what you can't choose." Mrs. Ji Er was kind and asked Ji Xiaolian not to have any psychological burden.

If you can't choose a female official, the Ji family will not treat Ji Xiaolian badly in the future, and will arrange a way out for Ji Xiaolian.

"This is the time to be loyal to the courtiers and the king, Xiaolian, you should be reluctant, reluctant!" Master Ji encouraged Ji Xiaolian a few words.

Yang's condition has not yet recovered, and he did not come, and Ji Xiaomu has nothing to say, he is responsible for sending Ji Xiaolian into the palace.

Not long after Ji Xiaomu left, someone outside suddenly came in to report that there was a will from the palace.

"Could it be that the will of marriage has arrived!" Second Master Ji stood up in a hurry.

The palace came to pass the decree at this time, except for the marriage of Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian, the second master Ji couldn't think of anything else.

Ji Xiaotang also suspected that this was the case.

Originally, Qin Min told her and Qi Younian that there would be a will come down the next day. But because Qin Min passed away in the early morning of that day, this will was delayed.

It's just that it's still in Qin Min's mourning period, and although this will is a happy event, it will inevitably be stained with some sad tones.

Even so, Ji Xiaotang had to change his plain clothes and follow Master Ji and Mrs. Ji to the main hall of Xinhua Hall to receive orders.

The lieutenant who came to deliver the message was a familiar face. It is the steward Zhang who has to be used by the side of the Empress Dowager Han.

What Steward Zhang came to pass this time is still the mouth of the Empress Dowager Han.

Empress Dowager Han Xuan Ji Xiaotang immediately entered the palace.

conveyed the edict of the Empress Dowager Han, and the second master Ji invited Steward Zhang to sit in the hall and speak.

"The Queen Mother has promised the eldest princess. General Qi, who is the son of the mighty prince, does not see the will of the marriage, but wants to summon Xiaotang into the palace? Second Master Ji asked Steward Zhang.

This sentence is exactly what Ji Xiaotang wants to ask.

Steward Zhang smiled, only saying that it was the will of the Queen Mother, and he didn't know the specifics.

"If the county lord has any doubts, wouldn't it be better to go into the palace and explain it to the Queen Mother Chitose in person." Steward Zhang said. He just passed on the will of the Empress Dowager Han, and didn't know anything else.

“…… Although there is no marriage granted by the Queen Mother's will, the eldest princess has already decided on my relationship with General Qi. It has been less than 100 days since the death of the eldest princess. The palace is electing female officials, and I am really not suitable to enter the palace at this time. Ji Xiaotang said.

Steward Zhang just snorted.

"If the county lord says this, he should go and say it to the Queen Mother Chitose face to face."

The meaning of Steward Zhang. He didn't care about the rest. Just take Ji Xiaotang into the palace.

Yes, Steward Zhang passed on the will of the Empress Dowager Han to take Ji Xiaotang into the palace immediately.

The more Steward Zhang was like this, the more suspicious Ji Xiaotang became.

"Oops......" Ji Xiaotang sighed and raised his hand to support his forehead.

Second Master Ji immediately understood.

Ji Xiaotang suffered from headaches.

"Originally, there was no such disease, but the eldest princess died, and the eldest princess treated Xiaotang very well before her death, and Xiaotang was too painful. I've had a headache these days......"

Ji Xiaotang is sick, so he can't enter the palace immediately.

Although Steward Zhang got the order of the Empress Dowager Han. If you want him, take Ji Xiaotang into the palace. But Empress Dowager Han didn't tell him that she could forcibly take Ji Xiaotang into the palace.

“…… Hurry up and get a doctor. Although he suspected that Ji Xiaotang was pretending, Steward Zhang didn't dare to say that, so he could only ask the imperial doctor to go back to the palace and send a message to the Empress Dowager Han.

As soon as Manager Zhang left, Ji Xiaotang's head didn't hurt anymore.

"Daddy, hurry up and send someone to find Ayou, I always feel that things are not good." Ji Xiaotang told Ji Er.

Second Master Ji is now obedient to Ji Xiaotang, so he sent people to Jingci Nunnery.

Although Qi Younian was riddled with everything, when he saw someone coming from Xinhuatang, he immediately took the time to come.

"Xiaotang, what's going on?" Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian about Steward Zhang's coming to deliver the decree.

"I don't want to enter the palace, I always feel that once I enter the palace, something bad will happen." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian, "Moreover, the Queen Mother's decree to marry has not been made for a long time, and I am not sure." ”

Although it was during Qin Min's funeral, it was reasonable to delay the intention of the marriage, but neither the Empress Dowager Han nor the Steward Zhang said a word about the marriage.

"Ayou, you say, am I too suspicious?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qi Younian.

Qi Younian was silent for a moment.

"Xiaotang, don't enter the palace first, I'll go into the palace to see the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

This is exactly what Ji Xiaotang wants.

"Although, it may not be appropriate, but the will of the marriage has not arrived for a day, I will ......" Speaking of this, Ji Xiaotang was also a little embarrassed.

"Xiaotang, you're too worried. Even if your grandmother knows something, she won't blame you. Grandmother will only approve of you. ”

"I'll go into the palace and ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty for their will." Qi Younian said. Even if the two have to wait for the filial piety period to pass before getting married, but if the family affairs are settled first, Qi Younian can feel at ease.

"Okay." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

Qi Younian said goodbye to Ji Xiaotang and went straight to the palace.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't go with him, but he sent someone to follow him outside the palace gate, and as soon as there was news, he could send it back immediately.

Qi Younian ate a closed door soup at the gate of the Forbidden Palace.

Of course, it was not that Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing refused to see Qi Younian, but that both the emperor and queen had something to do and could not see Qi Younian for the time being. The lieutenant who conveyed the emperor's will was very polite to Qi Younian, and asked Qi Younian to go back to handle Qin Min's funeral with peace of mind, and the emperor and queen were in charge of everything else.

Of course, Qi Younian would not be coaxed, so he became suspicious at the moment and came back to discuss with Ji Xiaotang.

"The Queen Mother and Your Majesty, there is no reason not to see you, unless you ......"

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian exchanged glances.

"I'll go back immediately, if the Queen Mother and Your Majesty refuse to see me, I'll keep kneeling outside the palace gate......" Qi Younian said immediately.

"Ayou, if you leave your grandmother's funeral and do this, you will be criticized for being unfilial." Ji Xiaotang reminded Qi Younian.

"I don't care what others say. All I know is that my grandmother won't blame me, and that my grandmother will be knowledgeable and will support me in doing so. Qi Younian said.

Ji Xiaotang naturally only supports Qi Younian.

Qi Younian did not stay in Xinhuatang for a long time, and immediately returned to the gate of the Forbidden Palace.

Qi Younian knelt in front of the gate of the Forbidden Palace, from noon to evening, until the beginning of the lanterns, and the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing finally agreed to let him enter the palace to meet.

"Grandmother did go to the palace to mention you and me to the Queen Mother, but she didn't say anything about family affairs, let alone marriage."

Or is it Qi You's annual leave to ask Qin Min, or is it ...... Qin Min misunderstood something.

Recommended for the rebirth of the weak face and the end of the house, "Deep Boudoir" (to be continued......)
