Chapter 229: National Mourning (4)

Xinyue's scorn made Gonggong Zhang look at it, and then he raised his eyes to look at Xinyue, and saw that she was really upset for Rong Ying, and then said with great relief, "It seems that there are still people in this world who really care about His Highness." ”

With that, Gonggong Zhang walked out, leaving time alone with His Majesty for Xinyue.

Seeing that there was a basin of water at the head of the bed, Crescent Moon sat sideways on the edge of the bed, wiped His Majesty's cheeks, and put his arm into the quilt behind his hand. She looked at His Majesty, she still couldn't help but feel distressed, remembering the way the two chatted not long ago, Xinyue still felt that she couldn't help but shed tears, "Uncle, are you tired?" Also, over the years, the Great Sage has become more and more prosperous, and you have done your best to take care of our children. I can't remember my father's appearance, but you and your uncle are really like my father. Now you're leaving, just like your uncle. Now, I am really the only one in this world, and I have no relatives. Uncle, can you please not go. ”

Xinyue knew that she was saying stupid things, but she couldn't help but pray in her heart, praying that His Majesty would wake up. But if his dream is not wrong, His Majesty will be in the past few days.

After seeing His Majesty, Xinyue walked out of the apse of the Qiangong in a trance, she looked at the sky that had already darkened, and only felt that the haze in her heart was like this muddy sky, as if it was going to snow.

Sitting in the carriage, Xinyue tiredly leaned on Feng'er's shoulder and fell asleep, and waited for a long time after the carriage stopped, Xinyue opened her eyes, and Feng'er's arm had already been numbed by Xinyue's pillow.

Feng'er supported Xinyue, and the two got out of the carriage, Xinyue leaned on Hao'er's shoulder as if she hadn't slept enough, "Hao'er, you let someone decoct me medicine, I will continue to sleep after drinking medicine." ”

"Girl, eat something and go to sleep, you haven't eaten for a day." Feng'er saw that Xinyue's face was not good, and together with Mama Wang, she persuaded Xinyue to eat some things before lying on the bed again and falling asleep.

This time, no one was bothering her, and the new moon slept until the evening of the next day.

After waking up, the spirit of the new moon really improved a lot, and the imperial doctor also said that the pulse of the new moon was much more stable.

After another night, the new moon, shortly after getting up, sighed deeply, and before this sigh was finished, the bell sounded like it was ringing, and His Majesty was also dead.

Just over half of November, the Queen and Her Majesty died of illness one after another, which was a unique event at the beginning of the founding of the Great Holy Kingdom.

This emperor always has a concubine who has done all the stupid things for her, but like Your Majesty, a king who loves his queen all his life is really, never.

Thinking about it, Xinyue felt tired and sad, and there were two more medicines prescribed to her by the imperial doctor. No one will notice her now, even Rong Ying may not think of her absence at this time, this time is a good time for her to recuperate.

It's another year's New Year, and the national funeral casts a thick haze over the New Year. In the lively West Market a year ago, the firecrackers and fireworks during the New Year were all canceled, and the entire Jinling City was as quiet as a deserted city.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the new moon went to bed early because there were no parents who blessed a long life, and there was no age to keep.

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Xinyue let Feng'er Fei'er and them take a vacation, these girls finally wanted to relax once, until Xinyue got dressed and got up, they didn't come to serve, and Mama Wang didn't come.

That's fine, Crescent thought to herself, and pushed the door open by herself.

The heavy snow last night, the sound of snow bending the branches, also came and went. Out of the door, too late to wrap the cloak tightly, the new moon looked at it with some distress, the plum blossom tree that was crushed with four or five branches broken, is the so-called treading snow to find plums, this red plum is like blood, naturally will not be covered by snow, the new moon reached out and picked up a few "snow plums", held them in his hands, and looked at the mood better.

At this moment, Xinyue felt her shoulders sink, and she thought it was Mama Wang, "Mama." I'm wearing a cloak, and it's not cold. You find my green bottle, and I'm going to plug it up. ”

Speaking of this, Xinyue couldn't help but smile, looked at the plum blossoms in her hand that had the same name as Rong Ying, and muttered, "Now you are going to change your name to avoid Xinjun's name." ”

"Then you say, give them to... Hey, why do you have to fall a lot every time you see me. Before Rong Ying finished speaking, she saw Xinyue fall to the ground because of fright.

Fortunately, there was a thick snow under him, Rong Ying was not worried that he would hurt the crescent moon, he looked at the crescent moon in the snow, his cheeks were red from the cold, and he was a little more delicate.

"You, you..."

"That's right, you are Xu Xinyue, every time you see me, you are speechless." As she spoke, Rong Ying bent down and hugged Xinyue.

"You, you let go of me. I can walk on my own. Xinyue was held in Rong Ying's arms, and she was naturally reluctant to struggle.

"Don't move, just a few steps. Do you have a meal? I am hungry. Rong Ying walked out of the plum garden with the new moon in her arms, and finally put her down on the way to the main house.

"I don't have anything to eat for the thief here, isn't the gap over there already blocked? How can you still get in? Xinyue looked at the footprints of Rong Ying on the snow, and saw the direction he came from, that is, from the weak place in the north, and couldn't help asking.

"Oh, the guards in your house, I'm afraid they were all drunk last night." Rong Ying said an ambiguous word, and then emphasized that "I'm hungry." ”

"Mama Wang, you haven't gotten up yet. There's food there, and I'm hungry. As she spoke, Xinyue covered her stomach, she didn't eat much last night, and it really didn't take long to digest it in this long night.

"It is said that what happens on the first day of the new year will affect the fortune of the year. Looks like we're going to be hungry for the rest of the year. With that, Rong Ying walked inside in a few steps.

"Where are you going?" Xinyue followed Rong Ying into her house.

And Rong Ying was only wearing a purple regular robe, and looking at his cloak again, it was not on his shoulders, he should also be cold, so the new moon was not stopping him, "In a few days, the new monarch will ascend the throne, who can still be hungry Your Majesty." ”

"You, don't you just want to starve me?" Rong Ying is here in the new moon, it is really like going home, which makes the new moon angry, and then turns to leave.

"Where to go?" Before he went out, his hand was grabbed by Rong Ying.

"Aren't you hungry? I'll go cook for your majesty. "The new moon said respectfully, but it didn't mean to be deferential at all.

"I'm here to ask you for something." Rong Ying saw that Xinyue really went to the kitchen, so he didn't go around in circles and told Xinyue the purpose of the trip.

Crescent Moon sighed and asked, "Your Majesty can give an order." ”

"This matter can't be decreed, and I'm not a majesty now, I just want to put Lian'er here with you and raise it for a while."

Crescent Moon couldn't believe her ears: "Are the people around you dead?" ”

"You reminded me to check the people and things around Lian'er, do you want to ask." Rong Ying looked at Xinyue, the impatience on her face was really much less, and Xinyue still couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with Lian'er?" ”

"Since he was eight months old, he has not only eaten breast milk, but also some other soup and rice, but since then, his diet has been given turmeric."

"Turmeric? Isn't that something seasoning? Crescent Moon asked, puzzled.

"But he is a baby and can't eat such irritating things, so his spleen and stomach will become weaker and weaker, and in the end, it is very likely that for no reason, a small illness will kill him." Speaking of this, Rong Ying also frowned.

"Did you find out who did it?" Crescent asked.

Rong Ying shook her head, "It's because I can't find it, so I can't let him live in the palace anymore." I can't bring him into the palace, I'll take a look around, and the only one who can be entrusted is you. ”

"You have this ability, can't you protect your own children?" Although Xinyue likes that very well-behaved and likes Lian'er who lies in her words, but after all, it is someone else's child, and there is no reward for taking care of it, but if she can't raise it well, then she will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"I have sent away all the people who are waiting for Lian'er, and then I will let them appear and send him to you secretly, and you will take care of everything. If something happens to Lian'er with you, then I can swear that I will never blame you. Seeing Rong Ying's eager appearance, he almost swore to the sky.

Crescent Moon sighed, "Do you have to find these troubles for me?" ”

She knows Rong Ying too well, he can let anyone take care of Lian'er, his ability, what happened once, there will definitely not be a second time, but he just wants to find some people and things, so that they can establish a relationship with him, and he can come to his side justifiably. But she had no reason to refuse, so Xinyue asked, "How long do you want to raise it?" ”

"The Son of Heaven brings the sun and the moon, and when the mourning period is out, I will make you a ..."Rong Ying felt a pain on his face, and Xinyue gave him a slap like this, and then listened to Xinyue sneering and said, "Don't say anything you can't do at all." ”

"You don't believe me?" Rong Ying stretched out her hand and touched the place where she was beaten, and her eyes became gloomy.

Xinyue still sneered, "Well, I don't believe it." I will take care of Lian'er for you until you are out of mourning. I'll have someone else to serve him. Okay, that's all said and done, and you're good to go. ”

With that, Crescent turned and walked into the inner room, slamming the door shut.

Rong Ying was a little gloomy, turned around and was about to leave, but when she saw Hongmei who was on the table on the side, she reached out and picked it up, frowned, and shouted to the new moon in the room, "You just wait, I said that I will make you the queen, and I will make you the queen." You have said that whoever makes you a queen, you will follow. You don't want to eat..."

Before the words were finished, the door of the house was ajar, and a flower pot was thrown out, and it fell not far from Rong Ying's side, Rong Ying saw that it was a red qin bottle that Xinyue didn't like very much, Rong Ying continued to finish, "Don't break your word." ”

Then, Rong Ying inquiringly caught the new moon's favorite green bottle, which avoided the fate of the same violin bottle. Instead, it was filled with the red plums that the new moon had just picked.

The new moon waited in the house for a long time, until there was no movement in the house before coming out, as soon as the door opened, I saw on the ground at the door, there was a green bottle that she had just thrown out because of her anger, and the mouth of the bottle was full of red plums.

Crescent Moon felt her heart sink and sighed deeply.

Lian'er is Rong Ying's only child now, and Xinyue is still nameless and scoreless, and she is the person who is least qualified to take care of him in Jinling City, but the two of them have always felt that Xinyue has always felt a loss in her heart because of a bracelet given to Xinyue by her mother Jiang Lianyue.

Thinking like this, Xinyue couldn't help but be distracted, and Ji Feiyu, who was sitting next to her, clapped his hands before recalling Xinyue's consciousness, and Xinyue looked fixedly, "Oh, Childe called me." ”

"You've seen this person too, give me an accurate word?" Ji Feiyu pointed to the servant woman in this room and asked.

Crescent Moon frowned, tucked the jade bracelet on her wrist back into her sleeve, and then asked the nurse standing at the front, "How old is your child?" ”

"If Mrs. Hui is more than a year old." The nurse had already answered this question just now, but she didn't expect to answer it again.

Xinyue waved her hand and said to Ji Feiyu, "The child she wants to take care of is three years old and no longer needs to be fed, but he needs someone he trusts by his side, so I don't want to find a nurse for him anymore, even if I find it, I didn't feed him since he was a child, so I didn't stay." ”

Ji Feiyu nodded, "Okay, then listen to you." ”

Saying that, Ji Feiyu beckoned to the nurse, although the nurse was unwilling, she didn't dare to stay, and turned to leave.

Crescent looked at a woman standing on the left and said, "Come here." ”

"Yes," the woman stepped forward and bowed.

Seeing that she was clean and neat, and her face was very energetic, she asked, "Have you ever taken care of a three-year-old child?" ”

The woman nodded, "The little master of the slave's previous family, that is, the slave maid was born to the age of five, but the little master had a hard life and could not stay." That's why the slaves and maids were sold again. ”

"It's not good, take care of the children to death." Ji Feiyu felt a little unlucky.

Crescent Moon continued to ask, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave Qi Niang" Qi Niang hung her hands and did not leave hope for herself.

Xinyue said to Ji Feiyu, "Let's stay and take a look first." She should be experienced in caring for children who are not in good health. ”

Ji Feiyu nodded: "Whatever you want." ”

"That's good, Qi Niang, I'll keep you for a month first, see how you serve, if you serve well, continue to stay over there, serve this little master well, and the blessings will be endless." If there is a difference, and your deeds are in my hands, I will never talk so well with your previous master. With that, Xinyue stood up, raised her voice, and the few people who stayed with Qi Niang. Again and again said yes.

Xinyue asked Mama Wang to take them down to learn the rules, and Lian'er would also be sent here in the afternoon.
