For some reason, tonight's bell made Li Ruoqing upset.

Originally, it was just a time signal, but it made Li Ruoqing feel inexplicably irritable.

Before she knew it, it was the third watch, Li Ruoqing put down her pen, she hadn't stayed up late for a long time, and she was still urged by Zijuan to go to bed to brew sleep.

Zijuan: "Girl, settle in quickly, I'll give you some benzoin." I just drank the sleeping soup, but don't burn your body. The master has been busy in the palace these days, as long as he comes back, he will come to our courtyard as soon as possible. ”

Li Ruoqing wrapped herself in the quilt and said, "Nonsense, who cares about him." I'm just recording something, and I just want to finish it quickly. ”

Zijuan snickered, immediately blew out the candle, and only opened the lid of a night pearl as big as a leather ball for Li Ruoqing at the bedside.

In fact, the night pearl does not have the effect of night light, and it cannot produce the effect of night as day, but the effect of night light and small table lamp is still okay.

In winter, Li Ruoqing was suddenly a little afraid of the dark night, so she turned out such a treasure in the warehouse.

After Zijuan left, Li Ruoqing worked hard to fall asleep, and since she came to this era, she has been sleeping surprisingly well, even when she came out of Chu Xiulou, she could breathe on the side of the road.

But tonight, my spirit is in a mess.

I don't know how long it took, Li Ruoqing finally began to fall into a dazy light sleep, and suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door.

Although it was the front yard gate that was far away from the bedroom, it still woke Li Ruoqing up because it was too quiet in the middle of the night.

Li Ruoqing was so angry, she scolded in her heart: Who, in the middle of the night, the old lady finally came up sleepy, and knocked on the door so urgently to report the funeral!!!

Well, it's a funeral!

The prince is gone!

Zijuan and the other four big girls hurriedly changed Li Ruoqing into mourning clothes, and all the women who had orders to enter the palace.

Li Ruoqing's first thought was actually - can the county lord's sister not marry?

Li Ruoqing pulled Zijuan and asked, "Eh, Zijuan, this prince is gone, Tianxin hasn't had time to marry Sima Gongzi yet, can he not marry for the time being?" ”

Zijuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately returned: "Ouch, my aunt, you are still thinking about these." Hurry up, change your shoes, the one with flowers, you can't wear it, you have to be vegan. Hey, the big wedding must be postponed, don't think about anything else, do you remember the etiquette that the slave told you? ”

Li Ruoqing: "Oh oh, remember, remember, I have to cry, I have to cry, I have to kneel." Quick, get me a little cotton pad and wrap my knees around. ”

Ruoqing Xuan was busy, and Kong Xueying in Fuyun Pavilion and the two county lords in Shaoguang Yuan were also in a mess. The other women who didn't need to enter the palace actually looked a little out of place.

It seems that the cold silence is a little sad.

【Duanyu Palace】

Li Ruoqing, who knew why she was irritable, actually fell asleep on her brain, and slept all the way to the palace called a comfortable one.

Kong Xueying, who was in the same car, was very nervous.

Li Ruoqing doesn't understand municipal administration, can she, the eldest lady of the Kong family, still not understand?

From the moment of the death of the crown prince, the horn of war has been sounded!

When she came to the palace, it was plain white, which made Li Ruoqing, who was sleepy-eyed, feel as if it was dawn.

She caught a glimpse of Qi Rongruo at the front from a distance, but unfortunately he didn't see her.

With so many people, the people you care about the most can always be recognized at a glance. This feeling actually made Li Ruoqing a little happy.

If it weren't for Zijuan dragging her, she would have almost forgotten that she was going to cry on her knees at this moment, but she couldn't smile.

Li Ruoqing, who didn't understand the funeral at all, was like an ignorant child. It's all about imitating Kong Xueying to get by!

Li Ruoqing, who was like sleepwalking, finally stayed up until breakfast, but as a result, there was only white porridge and pickles!

There is not even a steamed bun or a nest head. This simply made Li Ruoqing unable to swallow!

Li Ruoqing smashed her mouth while tasting pickles, and whispered to Zijuan: "It turns out that when I was in the mountains, I could eat any wild vegetables. Alas, when I entered the house, this appetite was raised, as if I was eating meat~~~~~"

Zijuan hurriedly gestured "shhh" in her mouth and said, "Girl, bear with me, let's be here for seven days, and we will go home in time for Ming'er, you are eating hard." ”

Li Ruoqing came to her head and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay for seven days?" Isn't the funeral supposed to be 100 days old? ”

Zijuan added a little porridge to her, and said softly: "It's a hundred days, don't put on a feast, don't get married, don't come out to play and sing, the emperor's relatives and relatives must be vegetarians, and the family members are just not allowed to be extravagant, but they are not allowed to eat meat without rituals." ”

Li Ruoqing thought to herself: This is not bad, it's quite humane, seven days, bear with it!

Li Ruoqing is like a walking corpse, fiddling with her casually, and let her do whatever she wants.

She really couldn't stand it, and when she was free, many women said here and there, she was hiding her face and pretending to be sad, but in fact she was quietly squinting.

This trick was used rotten when I was in school, and I used a book as a cover, whether I slept or read a novel, it wasn't easy to catch.

Of course, because of this sleepiness, she also missed a lot of good scenes.

This group of women didn't talk much about her, and the roots of Zijuan's teeth were itchy. Fortunately, this big-hearted girl fell asleep, otherwise the prince's funeral and the quarrel between the wife of the life, it would really add fuel to the fire of the war in the old man's previous dynasty......

Four small vegetarian dishes at noon, Li Ruoqing became more and more hungry the more she ate. The food in the palace was originally delicious, but the food during the mourning period had no taste.

She almost roared: the old lady's mouth was about to fade out!!!

Not long after, a father-in-law came to find Li Ruoqing and Kong Xueying, saying that Prince Lingxiao had invited a discussion.

The two of them had to hurriedly leave the women's pile and go to the side hall where Qi Rongruo was.

Li Ruoqing was very distressed when she saw that Qi Rongruo, and the young man was full of vicissitudes now!

Of course, Kong Xueying is also distressed, and she is even more worried that once this funeral is over, the master's situation may be even more bumpy.

That Qi Rongruo: "Madam, can everything be done in the house?" The businesslike tone made Li Ruoqing a little dramatic.

Since she was talking about official affairs in the house, why did she come here? She's a hands-off shopkeeper who eats idle meals!

Kong Xueying saluted and said, "Everything has been taken care of, and the master can be relieved." Sir, have you had lunch? ”

Li Ruoqing thought to herself: This big wife is different, what she thinks about is whether the master has lunch, what I think is, is there anything delicious here for the master, can I fill my stomach......

That Qi Rongruo: "Yes, it's being used." I know that if you two eat together with other wives, it will not be palatable. Let's join me here......"

Kong Xueying excused herself: "No need, the master's meals are all given by the emperor himself, naturally different from others, or you eat more to have the strength to preside over major events." ”

Li Ruoqing heard this, turned her head to take a closer look, and found that the table he had here was obviously much richer, with eight dishes and one soup, as well as desserts and snacks. Although it's also vegan, it's so varied!

Li Ruoqing saw that no one asked her, although she was greedy, she still didn't speak.

Then Qi Rongruo looked at her and asked, "What about you?" Would you like to dine with me? The tenderness that was about to flow out of the soft eyes made Li Ruoqing drunk.

couldn't help but take a step closer to Kong Xueying and said, "Sister, you see that Gongzi can't eat so much alone." And eating alone, how boring it is, let's just accompany him? ”

When Kong Xueying saw Li Ruoqing say this, she rarely let go of her burden, and said with a lot of closeness: "I think my sister can't get used to those simple foods, right?" ”

Li Ruoqing pulled Kong Xueying into the seat, picked up the chopsticks, and said pretendly: "Everywhere, I am full." It's because I see that you haven't moved chopsticks much, since Childe has said so, let's not eat, it's too much to save his face, isn't it? ”

That Qi Rongruo withdrew from the palace maids and internal supervisors, so that Li Ruoqing could let go of her stomach and eat.

As soon as Li Ruoqing saw that there were only her own people left, she dared to feast on it.

Li Ruoqing had already tried her best to take a small sip, and said vaguely: "Son, sister, you two eat, see what I do?" ”

That Qi Rongruo: "Look at you, it's so appetizing!" ”

Li Ruoqing: "Hmph, whatever you say!" I didn't eat enough white porridge and pickles in the morning, ouch, this dish looks good, why is the taste still light? What kind of goose yellow crisp is this, why is it not sweet? ”

Kong Xueying couldn't help laughing and said, "You eat slowly, it's the prince's mourning period, how can you eat sweets?" The whole country will mourn and suffer from it. ”

That Qi Rongruo asked Zijuan to give Li Ruoqing more soup, and said: "Drink some soup, there is some abalone in this soup, which is taboo at the moment." ”

Looking at Li Ruoqing, Qi Rongruo was able to eat something.

Since the crown prince is not good, Qi Rongruo has been guarding in the palace for these days, and he really can't swallow it.

He reluctantly left from the newlywed......

But he was glad that he had walked to salute earlier, or he had caught up with the time...... Oh, thank you so much, Prince!

That Qi Rongruo was so pertinent that he kept staring at Li Ruoqing. She estimated that if it weren't for the funeral now, Qi Rong would have to eat her directly.

Li Ruoqing was afraid that Kong Xueying would be embarrassed, so she constantly interacted with Kong Xueying.

In fact, she thinks too much, and she is the only one who is the most awkward here. These two ancient couples have long adapted to the era of peaceful coexistence of three wives and four concubines. This kind of adaptation is engraved in the bones, and it is an adaptation that does not resist at all.

Yongxu 12th year November 5th

Seven days of funeral have passed, the emperor advocates frugality, and all etiquette is as simple as possible, but it is also a toss for a person to turn on his back.

Royal funeral, where can Jane go?

Li Ruoqing went back to the house for a few days, and finally was able to eat delicious food. Although it is a little more vegetarian than before, fortunately, there is still meat.

But that Qi Rongruo still couldn't go home, and she gradually remembered it.

On the other side, Qi Rongruo is in the palace, facing the emperor, the queen mother and the princes of the important ministers, and supporting the strength of the princes respectively, he will inevitably be in the middle of the way.

Every day in the court is a debate competition, and out of the court, if Qi Rong is bombed by the emperor and the queen mother in turn, it seems that he will not stop if he is not said to the East Palace!

Li Ruoqing didn't know that her newlywed groom who had only spent the night was being cooked on a baking tray at this time. She is still designing vegetarian dishes with less oil and less salt, how to make that Qi Rongruo a vegetarian for a hundred days.

It's going to be a different day, this winter...... It might be a little cold!
