Imperial capital

Because too many bad things happened when she came in, the Empress Dowager died unexpectedly, and the Empress Dowager had a decree saying that she would die in the future, and the funeral should not be too extravagant, so the funeral was very low-key.

Many people don't even know it.

"Dad, can I not go?" In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Yao asked with a pout.

She really doesn't have a good impression of the Empress Dowager, and she doesn't want to deal with those nobles and palace people.

"Nope." Qin Guang put on a formal suit, "The Queen Mother, the wives and daughters of ministers above the third rank must go, and your brother has returned from the frontier." ”

Qin Yao pursed his lips: "You can say that I am injured, aren't the ghost kings all in the imperial capital." ”

"Can you compare with the Ghost King, okay, Yaoyao, don't mess with your father." Mrs. Qin looked helpless, "Your father is not having a good time these days. ”

First, Princess Liege escaped from marriage, and then Jun Xuange and Feng Jingming exchanged, the divine doctor was angry, Bai Zijin did not know whether he was alive or dead, and Feng was blind and crippled.

Now, the Empress Dowager has died again, and there are those rumors among the people.

Qin Guang is an old man, and he never stopped holding that heart high, he was afraid that there would be some demon moths at the funeral, and his heart couldn't bear it!

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, Dad, I'll go." Qin Yao turned around, "Didn't you see that my clothes were all changed?" ”

A few people walked outside when they were ready, and the carriage was already ready to wait.

Because it is low-key, there is no white silk hanging at the entrance of the palace, and only after entering the palace can you see white silk and white lanterns.

The ministers and the courtiers, wives and daughters stood in four columns, with Emperor Shun and the Empress Dowager on the high position, and the coffin of the Empress Dowager in the middle.

Qin Yao and Shen Jiao were at the front, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw King Qin and Feng Zixuan next to her, both of them had heavy and sad faces at the moment.

Just now, Feng Zixuan turned his head, and the eyes of the two wanted to meet in the air.

Qin Yao immediately turned his head coldly and looked ahead.

Feng Zixuan's eyes flashed helplessly, since Bai Zijin's accident, Qin Yao really didn't pay attention to him anymore, and today was the first time they met after that day.

When the people arrived, the ceremonial officer stood up and said the funeral words and took out a holy decree.

"Fengtian Chengyu, the Empress Dowager was kind and frugal during her lifetime, and loved the people like a son, I decided to posthumously crown the Empress Dowager as the Empress Dowager Cide! Buried in the Imperial Mausoleum! ”

The crowd knelt down.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the Empress Dowager Cide, send off the Empress Dowager Cide!"

In the powerful voice of everyone, the palace people lifted the coffin of the empress dowager, everyone made a way, and the officials walked towards the imperial tomb step by step.

The sky was full of paper money, spilled onto the coffin.

Everyone followed to the imperial mausoleum, and then the Empress Dowager was completely buried before they could slowly move, but everyone still had a sad look on their faces, as if they were really sad.

"Jiaojiao, can they be more hypocritical." Qin Yao couldn't stand it very much, especially those women who were crying, which made her feel speechless for a while.

How did you cry when you said you would, as if you really died of your own mother.

"Be quiet." Shen Jiao was helpless, she glanced at everyone, "The royal family, no matter what the mood is, you should be sad, lest someone catch the handle." ”

Here are all people in the officialdom, and a subtle detail may be caught and magnified by the wrong colleagues, so even if they pretend, they don't want to be caught by others.

In officialdom, it has always been so cautious.

"I can't grieve." Qin Yao snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the Empress Dowager, would Zijin and the Ghost King be what they are now?" ”

She knows that the Empress Dowager is not a good person.

Qin Yao was talking, and suddenly Feng Zixuan came over, as a prince, he was wearing a white mourning robe and did not hide Sven's handsomeness.

It's just that Qin Yao glanced at him, and there was something uncomfortable in his heart.

I don't know when it started, the scholarly temperament of Feng Zixuan when he first saw him slowly disappeared.

"Yaoyao." Feng Zixuan spoke.

Qin Yao interrupted coldly: "Seventh Prince, is there something wrong?" ”

"Do you have to call me that?" This kind of alienated title made Feng Zixuan feel very uncomfortable.

Qin Yao said coldly: "You can go farther, you won't be able to hear." ”

Feng Zixuan wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know how to tell Qin Yao, but Qin Yao refused to believe him now, which made him very distressed and a little gloomy.

She didn't want to give him any trust......

"Yaoyao, listen to me, the matter of Uncle Ghost King ......"

"King Qin." Qin Yao suddenly opened her mouth and smiled at Feng Zixuan's back.

The Qin Dynasty came over here, smiled at Qin Yao, and teased: "I haven't seen you for a few months, but I have become more and more beautiful, I am a little moved to see it, if I hadn't married a wife, I would definitely ask the emperor to marry you." ”

As soon as he said these words, he suddenly felt an unkind and dangerous look looking at him next to him.

King Qin turned his head suspiciously, but saw Feng Zixuan looking at him with a faint smile: "Fourth brother." ”

King Qin looked around, there was no one else, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that he felt wrong?

"Seventh brother, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Hmm." Feng Zixuan nodded lightly.

His temperament King Qin has long been accustomed to, and he is not angry, in the past, Feng Zixuan was the most inconspicuous one among all of them, and his sense of existence was so weak that people could forget that there was such a prince as him.

King Qin was about to talk to Qin Yao and Shen Jiao, but he heard Feng Zixuan suddenly speak: "Fourth brother, the fourth sister-in-law is here, and there is also the queen mother." ”

After the Qin Dynasty, the Queen Mother did come this way, a ghostly light flashed in his romantic eyes, he didn't participate in the battle for the heir, the reason was that he had a favorite woman, if he had too much contact with Qin Yao's two daughters at this moment, the Queen Mother would definitely think more.

You must know that the Queen Mother has always wanted Qin Yao to be the queen.

The Queen Mother didn't know what to say to Princess Qin, Princess Qin might have seen such a scene for the first time, she was a little restrained and nervous, and she just kept nodding.

"King Qin, Zixuan." The Queen Mother looked at the two.

Fengzi preached: "I have seen the Queen Mother. ”

King Qin also saluted the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with satisfaction and arrogant sarcasm.

"It's all free of courtesy, fourth brother, although your wife is the daughter of a petty official, she is virtuous and virtuous, and she marries well." The Queen Mother praised Princess Qin, which made Princess Qin very flattered, and she didn't know what to do.

King Qin raised his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his lips, and said suavely: "The Queen Mother praised it falsely, but it was just the right eye." ”

The Queen Mother sneered, and she matched the eyes of the daughter of a sesame petty official, and she was such a featureless woman, she was still so complacent.

Princess Qin walked back to King Qin's side, her hands were too nervous, and her handkerchief was wrinkled, which did not escape the eyes of the Queen Mother.

However, the Queen Mother no longer focused on her, but looked at Feng Zixuan and said with a smile: "Zixuan is also eighteen years old, it's time to marry a concubine." ”

Qin Yao's heart suddenly, why did the Queen Mother suddenly mention this matter, could it be ......

Sure enough, the Queen Mother's next sentence was a bad prediction of Qin Yao's guess.

"There are several daughters of adults in the court who have passed the palace, and it is not bad for the palace to look at it, and the roster will be sent to you in a few days, you can choose one of them, start a family, and the palace is so relieved, and you can also give an explanation to the emperor in the future." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

The courtiers she said were all officials below the third grade, and in the eyes of the Queen Mother, they had a low status, just worthy of Feng Zixuan.

Qin Yao's face changed slightly, and her little face was a little pale.

She didn't expect that she had escaped, but the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to Feng Zixuan, if Feng Zixuan married a wife, what would she do......

Qin Yao looked at Feng Zixuan in a state of confusion, but Feng Zixuan was very calm, and he slowly spoke: "The Empress Dowager has just risen, Zixuan really has no intention of marrying a wife. ”

"It is precisely because of the Empress Dowager that Tianhe needs to rush to the happy event, Zixuan, this palace knows that you respect the Empress Dowager, but if the Empress Dowager knows that you are married, she will be happy under the Yellow Spring." The Queen Mother smiled and spoke, but it was categorical that could not be refused.

"Or ...... Are you not satisfied with the arrangement that this palace has arranged for you? ”

Speaking of the back, the Queen Mother's face turned cold, and she looked at Feng Zixuan coldly.

Feng Zixuan's face remained unchanged, but his hand was a little tight, and he smiled: "Naturally not, the Queen Mother will arrange it." ”

Qin Yao's face was pale, although she knew the Queen Mother's arrangement, Feng Zixuan couldn't refuse, but when she heard Feng Zixuan say this, her heart still hurt a little.

The Queen Mother arranged, what about her, what should she do......

"yes, okay." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, she glanced at Qin Yao who was bowing her head next to her, and displeasure flashed in her eyes, "Zixuan, don't worry, this palace will definitely choose a princess for you who is as virtuous and considerate as Princess Qin." ”

Princess Qin, who was named, was shocked again, she stood next to King Qin, a little scared.

For some reason, she always felt that the Queen Mother was not praising her, but a little ironic.

"Zixuan, thank you Queen Mother." Fengzi preached.

The Queen Mother left satisfied.

King Qin's merry eyes flashed, he patted Feng Zixuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, congratulations, when you get married, the fourth brother will definitely give you a big gift." ”

"Hmm."

At this time, Qin Ze walked over to this side, and King Qin immediately greeted this friend.

"Qin Ze."

"Lord Wang."

But just said hello, and was about to talk, Qin Yao suddenly stood in the middle of the two and pulled Qin Ze away: "Big brother, I have something to tell you." ”

King Qin looked confused, how did he think that Yaoyao seemed to dislike him a little?

Did he do anything just now that Qin Yao didn't like? No, I don't.

Shen Jiao glanced at King Qin sympathetically, and said congratulations and gifts just now, King Qin didn't want to talk to Qin Ze today.

"Seventh brother, let's go, I'll go drinking with the fourth brother later, I still miss the wine in the imperial capital, and I don't know if Lao Zhang still sells wine." King Qin put his hand on Feng Zixuan's shoulder and pulled him out.

Feng Zixuan looked back in Qin Yao's direction, and when he saw Qin Yao's pale face pursing his lips, he looked very uncomfortable, and he felt a pain in his heart.

King Qin's afterglow swept over him, his eyes flashed, and he patted him on the shoulder: "What are you looking at, let's go." ”
