The funeral of the Queen Mother, the Ministry of Rites has long been prepared. Donglu has also entered the period of national mourning, with the national ban on music banquets ranging from three to six months, and the capital banning for half a year. The Lin family's wind and snow are naturally among them, and they follow the holy decree and set an example.

In addition, the matter of folk marriage will also be postponed.

Emperor Mingzong, in accordance with the ancestral system, dropped out of the dynasty for seven days and served for thirty days. The clan relatives are sacrificed, and the ministers above the third grade enter the palace to pay their respects. Those who are inconvenient like Xijiao, and those who are sick like Lin Qian, are allowed to mourn the queen mother at home.

On the bright side, Lin Ruo is the daughter of the righteous daughter Shude County Lord recognized by the Queen Mother, and Murong Chong is not the royal bloodline, but the Queen Mother has always loved Lin Ruo the most, and Lin Ruo has always been extremely filial to the Queen Mother, so Lin Ruo and Murong Chong together with their clan relatives kept a vigil for the Queen Mother in the palace for seven days, kneeling every day, and crying in the morning and dusk.

For these seven days, the clan and relatives must stay in the palace to keep the spirit, sleepy without beds, and without food. After a long time, it is clear who is pampered and can not suffer at all, and who is meticulous and mournful.

Seven days after the funeral was suspended, the coffin of the Empress Dowager was escorted to the imperial tomb by a prince and the forbidden army, and was buried with the first emperor. This prince, Emperor Mingzong finally chose the eighth prince, King Yu.

Lin Ruo and Qu Xiaoxiang asked the emperor for a favor, and followed the team from the palace to the east gate all the way, until the team disappeared from sight.

After crying for seven days, the two couldn't say anything, and each other's eyes were tired. However, Qu Xiaoxiang is better, after all, she has stayed in the army all the year round, and now although she has returned to Beijing for many years and is also married to a wife, she often takes her Yanling military academy to practice. Marquis Jingping is a military general, and he is quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law who does not let her eyebrows, but Mrs. Suhou has a lot of complaints about Qu Xiaoxiang, who dances with knives and guns all day long.

Qu Xiaoxiang took Lin Ruo's hand and was about to say something, but Lin Ruo suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and then he didn't know anything. By the time she woke up again, it was already two days later.

After Lin Ruo came to her senses, she saw Murong Chong sitting on the bed guarding her. It's just that Murong Chong is sleeping with his head in one hand at the moment, thinking that he is guarding her after seven days of vigilance, and he has never rested well.

Lookingly, he stretched out his hand from the quilt, and was about to touch Murong Chong, when the other party suddenly woke up, his chaotic vision was immediately clear, and when he saw Lin Ruo wake up, he said happily: "You are awake!" ”

"Well," Lin Ruo smiled faintly, "I'm fine, I fell asleep because of lack of sleep before." How long have you guarded me? Take a break! ”

"Two days, okay."

Murong Chong answered Lin Ruo's question, and then, he loosened his clothes and lay down beside Lin Ruo in a good manner.

Lin Ruo was stunned for a moment, she really just wanted to persuade him to rest, not let him sleep with him, okay...... Moreover, during the national funeral, husbands and wives should sleep in separate rooms, but it is such a rule, and it depends on each person how many people abide by it. As long as he doesn't risk his "human life", that is, a child, Yushi is not idle enough to impeach. However, the feeling of being encircled in Murong Chong's arms was indeed good, and Lin Ruo did not refuse. The mourning for the Queen Mother lies in the heart, not in the form.

The only fly in the ointment is that she is real - hungry.

Murong Chong was really tired, he slept on the bed, Lin Ruo couldn't bear to alarm him, so he had to comfort himself and endure it. However, after all, she had been hungry for two days, and the water and rice had not entered, so she really couldn't bear it, so she could only try to break free from Murong Chong's arms as little as possible. No matter how careful he was, Murong Chong was still disturbed by her.

Lin Ruo smiled apologetically and whispered, "I'm a little hungry......"

Murong Chong smiled and was about to get up to accompany her to dinner, but Lin Ruo quickly stopped him, and then thought of something, his movements froze, and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

"Fortunately, I have had meals on time for the past two days."

"Oh, that's good," Lin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the person back into the bed, and persuaded seriously, "Then you can rest well." What you lack is sleep, what I lack is food, we have the right medicine to reassure each other. Next, I have to keep filial piety for the imperial grandmother......"

Murong Chong looked at the gentle smile on Lin Ruo's face, and didn't insist anymore, but hugged her waist the moment Lin Ruo got out of bed, took it into his arms, and kissed her soft lips before giving up.

Seeing Lin Ruo raised his hand to hit him in shame, Murong Chong hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended that he was asleep again, Lin Ruo was really angry and funny, so he could only stop.

Because it is the national mourning period, the food should not be meaty. The porridge and side dishes on the table are very vegetarian, but there is a fragrant dish, which she specially cooked for the Queen Mother - Jinwu Zangjiao. The name is elegant, in fact, it is made of pumpkin mashed into a paste, mixed with some snow honey, packed into eggshells, with sesame oil, chopped green onions, both in terms of appearance and fragrance, all disguised as salted egg yolks.

The Queen Mother doesn't like pumpkin, but she likes salted egg yolks. At that time, the queen mother's stomach was not very good, but pumpkin was good for the stomach, so she thought of this way.

Now, seeing this dish again, Lin Ruo's eyes turned red unconsciously.

"Miss, I'll take this dish down."

The origin of this dish, Youcao knew it, and seeing Lin Ruo's reaction, he immediately realized it. The rest of the people looked at Youcao in confusion and stretched out their hands, ready to remove the plate of golden house treasures.

Originally, I felt that the dishes on the table were too vegetarian and lacked appetite, so I added such a dish with a bit of meat flavor and sultry aroma, could it be that it was not the right appetite for Princess Rong?

Lin Ruo stopped Youcao: "It's okay, keep it." ”

Youcao didn't say anything more, and waited quietly aside.

Lin Ruo stretched out his hand, took an eggshell, scooped the pumpkin puree with a delicate small copper spoon, and ate it in small bites. When the meal was almost finished, the little servants of the palace rushed in in a panic.

Youcao was about to reprimand the other party, but the little guy took the lead in kneeling in front of Lin Ruo and said, "Princess, there is news from Antaibo's mansion, saying that something has happened to my uncle!" ”

The chopsticks in Lin Ruo's hand quickly buckled on the table, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" What happened to my uncle? What about the messengers? Bring it on! ”

The person who came from the Lin Mansion was the little maid Mingrui beside Lin Qi, as soon as he saw Lin Ruo, he knelt down and said with a sad face: "Young Miss, the lord heard that you fainted when you sent the queen mother out of the spirit, and I have been worried about you all the time, Doctor Mo said that you are fine, just tired, but the lord is still not at ease." The weather is fine today, and the lord feels that he is in good spirits, so he plans to come to the palace to visit you. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect to bump into the frame of the sixth princess halfway, it just so happened that the frame of the sixth princess startled the horse, and the coachman got out of the wheel in time, and the sixth princess was frightened, but the startled horse crashed into the frame of the old man and threw the old man out of the carriage......"
