Chapter 220: The Bells
When Wen Jiqing led the Shence Army back to the palace, the Evil Moon Holy Maiden was also relieved, thinking that it would be a national funeral soon, and left in a hurry with the slaves.
Behind closed doors, Qi's legs were already weak, Suning'er helped her bulky body towards the inner courtyard, Qi's kept crying, looking Suning'er's whole body up and down, left and right, for fear that she would be injured somewhere.
Su Jing was also afraid, and complained vigorously: "You stinky girl, but your mother is worried, I heard that none of the courtiers who entered the palace yesterday came out alive, and then I heard that you helped King Qing rebel, and the whole city was searching for you, your aunt was scared out of illness, and her body finally recovered, and now she can't afford to be sick." ”
Suning'er's face was full of shame, this time it was indeed she who affected the entire Su family.
Fortunately, everything passed safely, and when she heard that Zhou was sick again, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and apologized to Su Jing while walking: "It's all Ning'er's bad, even Auntie and Uncle are affected, is Auntie better now, Ning'er will go over to see her." ”
Su Ningxiang had a cold face, although she didn't hate her eldest sister so much now, but because Suning'er almost caused the entire Su Mansion to fall into ruin, she couldn't help but complain a little.
She said impatiently: "The doctor came to see it in the morning, A-Niang was just a little frightened, and it was fine, Sister still take good care of the eldest aunt, you didn't return overnight, and I didn't have a good time last night, since everyone is safe, Sister A-Niang also went back to rest." ”
Su Jing was also very curious about where she went last night, and couldn't wait to ask: "Yes, A-Ning, where did you stay all night, what happened in the palace, you should be with the second uncle?" ”
How could Suning'er be in the mood to talk to him at this time.
Moreover, she is not good at the details of this period against Su Jing's father and daughter.
After thinking about it roughly, she just replied perfunctorily and simply: "There was a rebellion in the palace yesterday, Ning Er escaped from the palace and was rescued by the Persian caravan, and spent the night in the mansion of the Evil Moon Holy Maiden last night. ”
"It's really my brother who has a spirit, protect A-Ning you", Su Jing smiled with relief.
As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they heard the sound of bells ringing everywhere, one after the other, as if they were coming from many places.
Su Jing immediately stopped, stopped to listen, and said in surprise: "This bell, isn't it that the saint has died?" ”
Suning'er froze in place and blinked in a daze.
The saint Wen Jiqing was at the beginning of the hour, but the sound of the bell rang at this moment.
According to ancient customs, the bell is generally ringing the hour or a major festival, and it will not be as rapid and continuous as at this moment, almost ringing throughout Chang'an City.
Such a deafening bell can only be ringed by the son or the queen mother.
Wen Jiqing only announced the news of the death of the saint at this time, which shows that the party of the Northern Ya has completely controlled the situation in the city.
From the palace change to the present, Wen Jiqing was able to stabilize the chaos, which also shows how powerful this Rao's power is.
She began to wonder if King Qiqing and Ye Youtong were wise to raise this dangerous fang, and she was even more worried about King Ying's safety.
He entered the palace, and how to mediate with the Beiya forces in that deep palace is really a headache.
Last night, he was persuaded to give up entering the palace to save the car, give up fighting with the Beiya party, and he also participated in the chat.
Moreover, she subconsciously felt that King Ying decided to compromise with Wen Jiqing after listening to her words of "dislike it in the heart, and Yang shows respect".
Although there is no better way at the moment, but King Ying's temperament, she is really worried that he can't bear it.
This guy, everyone has already entered the palace, but he still has to think about solving the siege for himself first, this good intention, I really don't know what to let Suning'er do.
Just now, Wen Jiqing brought King Ying's message, continued to respect herself as the eldest princess, and also made up for the food, but she didn't mention the matter of entering the palace to mourn the ancestors.
This made Suninger feel a little strange.
If she can enter the palace to mourn, she can still see King Ying, and make sure that he is okay, but now, she is really at ease.
Su Ning'er was thinking about these things nervously, and Su Jing suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, the saint has died, A-Ning, how should your relationship with the Qingwang Mansion be good, and the new saint will still preside over this family affair for you?" ”
Suning'er couldn't describe her second uncle in words, and said angrily: "Second uncle, it's a national funeral now, how can you still have the heart to think about these things, treat Ning'er like a mountain first, Ning'er just wants to mourn him well." ”
"Yes, yes", Su Jing felt that his words were a little inappropriate, and hurriedly instructed Su Que: "Ah Que, you go and tell Hongcai, tell him to quickly prepare filial piety clothes during the national funeral, the house will start fasting today, if you have the right to dare to slack off and mourn, I will not spare it." ”
Seeing Su Que rushing out in a panic, Su Ning'er felt a lot better.
Su Jing saw that she was depressed, and knew that the death of the saint would be a blow to this niece, so he didn't say anything more, and told her to go back to the courtyard with the Qi family to rest well, and then led the servants to prepare for the state funeral.
The emperor was mourned, according to the custom from the court to the people, no marriage was allowed within one month, no slaughter was allowed in 7749, and no fun was allowed within 100 days.
And the Su family received the emperor's favor, and Suning'er was a commoner princess canonized by the emperor, so the system naturally could not be perfunctory like ordinary people's families.
Moreover, the funeral also has an impact on the Su family's business in various shops, which has to make some preparations in advance.
Back in Tanghua Courtyard, her whole person looked a little depressed, Shuang'er hurriedly bathed her with warm water, took off her makeup, spread her hair bun, changed into vegetarian, Qi rested in the room, and led Qingchun and Ying'er over together.
Although, in the outer courtyard, her daughter roughly explained the experience of the day of her disappearance, but the mother was still a little uneasy, and she had to interrogate her carefully to be sure.
After Suning'er cleaned up her body, she took off her body and looked much more energetic.
Although there is no makeup embellishment, the beauty of Kesheng is really difficult to hide, standing in front of Qi's family, a beauty who has just come out of the bath.
Qi smiled lovingly, pulled her to the bedside, and the mother and daughter sat down slowly.
Qi's eyebrows were lightly raised, his eyes flashed, and he looked at her quiet face from time to time, one palm was on her forehead, and he slowly combed the hair that had not yet dried.
Seeing her preoccupied, Suning'er also knew that this woman must not be at ease with her remarks, but there were some things that she couldn't get close to this mother.
Qi's mind has always been delicate, and she has a lot of calculations, and now she has to take charge of this family for the Su family, how hard it is, she doesn't want this woman to live more tired, for fear that after she knows the truth, she will be like herself, living a messy life all day long.
She only hopes that Qi can live a more comfortable life, this is her mission.
