Chapter 432: Seven Days of National Mourning
Nangong Yougang wanted to do something, but Ye Xiaoyan stopped: "You only came back to life this morning, and so many things happened later, can't you take a good rest?" ”
Nangong Yu lay on his side and propped himself up, and said, "The queen's funeral is going to be held." For the next seven days, you must not drink wine or eat meat, you must not sing and dance, you will not be allowed to marry a wife, you will not be allowed to take concubines, and you will not be allowed to have sexual intercourse. After the state funeral, we, the princes, will have to keep filial piety for the queen for a year. ”
Nangong You said with a bitter expression: "For so long in the next year, you can't do anything, don't take advantage of tonight to do it, and then ...... Alas, how to live the day! ”
Nangong Yu let out a long sigh.
Because the emperor is still there, the mourning period of the empress is only seven days. If the emperor is gone, of course, the queen will become the queen mother at that time. Then the mourning period is twenty-seven days, and then three years of filial piety.
Ye Xiaoyan thought about it. Oh, yes! The queen is dead, and a state funeral is going to be held. Filial piety is kept for one year, and during this period, it is not allowed to marry a wife, take a concubine, or have sexual affairs.
Ye Xiaoyan lay on her back, staring at Nangong You's eyes, and asked, "Can you do it if you keep filial piety for a year?" ”
Nangong You said very seriously: "I can do it without marrying a wife and taking a concubine." ”
Ye Xiaoyan rolled her eyes and said, "Then it's just seven days of patience." It's only seven days! ”
Nangong You leaned over to the root of her ear and breathed hotly: "Well, then I've done it for seven days tonight." ”
……
Day 2.
Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, a letter was issued in the palace. The yamen of the capital government went around to inform the people that the queen was buried and the prince died. From this day onwards, the national mourning will be seven days. During the national funeral, vegetarian clothes and vegetarian food are required, singing, dancing, drinking and feasting are prohibited, Qinglou gambling houses are suspended, and so on.
Nangong You was sleeping with Ye Xiaoyan in his arms, and the breeze knocked on the door.
"Lord, lord! Someone from the palace sent a decree to invite the prince and princess to enter the palace immediately. ”
Ye Xiaoyan was excited and woke up Nangong You: "Tell us to enter the palace!" ”
Nangong closed his eyes and said in a lazy voice: "I heard it." ”
"Get up when you hear it!"
"I don't want to." Nangong You arched towards Ye Xiaoyan.
They slept well at dawn, and slept for about an hour, when they were woken up by a good sleep.
Ye Xiaoyan guessed: "Could it be that the emperor has recovered?" ”
Nangong pondered. It's possible!
So reluctantly climbed up.
When the two of them walked out of the door, they saw that everyone in the house was dressed in plain clothes.
Nangong You asked, "What's going on?" ”
Qingfeng said: "This morning, the palace announced to the world that the queen was buried and the prince died." From this day onwards, the national mourning will be seven days. ”
Nangong You sneered: "Don't wait so much!" ”
This is undoubtedly dominated by Concubine De, and now in the palace, except for the Queen Mother, she has the highest position. Tell the world as soon as possible that the queen is dead, and she will have a chance to become the queen sooner.
There are also two princes. Let the world know that the crown prince is dead, and he will become the eldest son alive.
Ye Xiaoyan said: "Let's also change into plain clothes!" ”
Nangong You was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe, and Ye Xiaoyan was wearing a light cyan gauze skirt.
Nangong Yu said: "Our clothes are very plain, so we don't need to change them." ”
Ye Xiaoyan wiped her sweat, she was plain, not clean!
At this time, Dudu came from the west courtyard, the little man was dressed in a white tight-sleeved satin robe with a belt, looking very elegant and elegant, looking like a noble little boy.
Ye Xiaoyan said: "Look, he wears white." ”
Nangong glanced at Dudu's clothes and said, "It's good for us to do this!" ”
Dudu pursed his lips. He happened to wear this one when he was practicing, and this one happened to be white.
The three of them entered the palace. Everywhere the carriage passed, the red objects on the doors of the houses were removed or covered with black cloths. The pedestrians on the road were wearing plain clothes, and the whole country was mourning.
When they arrived at the palace, everyone in the palace wore plain clothes. Because of the rush of time and the lack of time to prepare, some palace maids and eunuchs did not have plain clothes, so they simply put their white middle clothes on their outer robes.
In this piece of white, Nangong You's black doesn't look like much, and Ye Xiaoyan's pale cyan color is a little abrupt.
After the three of them entered the palace, they were guided by eunuchs and took them to the side hall of the front court.
There were many people in the side hall, all of whom were members of the royal family, and when they looked up, they were white again.
Nangong You, Ye Xiaoyan, and Dudu walked into the side hall, and many people turned their heads to look at them. Seeing that King Xuan was wearing black, and Princess Xuan was actually wearing light cyan, some royal relatives whispered and pointed at them.
Ye Xiaoyan saw the strange eyes of others, and regretted it in her heart. I have long said that I changed into plain clothes! Nangong Youbian wants to say that there is no need to change. It's okay now, attracting strange eyes from others! In this kind of small matter that is just a change of clothes, Ye Xiaoyan will never be stubborn and stubborn. Whatever you wear is not what you wear.
At this time, an imperial aunt, that is, the emperor's aunt, said: "Princess Xuan, this palace is an elder, and they all wear plain clothes. As a junior, why don't you wear plain clothes? ”
Ye Xiaoyan was thinking about how to answer.
Nangong You opened his mouth and said: "Princess Xuan is a goddess and the creator of this world. In this world, no one deserves to wear plain clothes. ”
The imperial aunt was stunned. She had heard about Princess Xuan being a goddess, but she had only heard a few words, and she didn't know the specific situation very well.
The imperial aunt has survived from the princess to the aunt, from childhood to adulthood, from youth to twilight, everyone respects her, and no one will talk to her like this.
The imperial aunt said in a deep voice: "King Xuan, is this your attitude of talking to the elders?" ”
Nangong Yu said: "Imperial Aunt, your attitude towards Princess Xuan is your attitude towards the Creation Ancestor?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan wanted to say a little: uh...... Actually, I'm not that old......
However, it is true that the goddess is the founding ancestor of the same generation as Mrs. Xiao. is even a generation older than the ancestor of Nangong. Because at that time, Nangong Ancestor was just a little baby.
The imperial aunt was so stunned that she couldn't speak. Among all the people present, she was the oldest and the longest, and even the Queen Mother had to call her the imperial sister. But compared with the goddess, she is a junior among the younger generations at this age.
The Queen Mother sat on the sidelines and said nothing.
At dawn this morning, I heard that the emperor's mouth was not crooked and his eyes were not slanted, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that the emperor's condition was improving. But not long after, the emperor suddenly suffered another stroke, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and his symptoms recurred. None of the imperial doctors could say why, and they didn't know what was going on.
At this time, the Queen Mother became more and more suspicious that the emperor's stroke was caused by someone.
But who was harmed? ……
She saw Concubine De jumping happily after the death of the queen and the crown prince. Directly intervene in the Cabinet and participate in the deliberations.
There is also King Xuan. She felt that King Xuan had suddenly changed since the emperor had a stroke.
If it is said that King Xuan before the emperor had a stroke, he was cold and withdrawn; Then the current King Xuan is cold and arrogant.
