Yin Zhige has been very busy these days, and he has to rush to the palace every morning, and he returns home very late, saying that the emperor is very sad and preparing to bury the queen mother, and he will send the body to the imperial mausoleum to dress up for a solemn funeral.

In fact, it is always just some trivial arrangements, but the royal family involved is complicated and tired, and Yin Zhige is dyed with some fatigue at the moment, Zhong Xiaoshu felt distressed when he saw it, and took care of all the big and small things in the house, so that he would no longer bother.

Therefore, for this canceled wedding, everything was handled by the groom beforehand, and everything was taken care of by the bride afterwards, which is a strange thing to say.

Zhong Xiaoshu roughly tidied up and down the house, and all the joyful wedding decorations were removed.

Just as he was about to take a break to drink a cup of herbal tea, he heard Nianwu hurriedly come in and report, "Madam, a father-in-law has come from the palace." ”

Father-in-law?

Zhong Xiaoshu paused for a moment, and said in her heart How could her father-in-law come to her, couldn't it be that something happened to Yin Zhige?

I was secretly a little worried in my heart, but my face was still calm and undisturbed, and I asked Nianwu to invite people in.

"Hello Mrs. General, our family is here today to give a message to Queen Xuan, please listen quietly."

Zhong Xiaoshu leaned down and bowed, neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, "Father-in-law, please speak." ”

The father-in-law smiled and nodded slightly, "According to the mouth of the queen's mother, the daughters of ministers above the fifth grade need to enter the palace to guard the spirit of the queen mother, wait for the blessing and pray for filial piety." Chin this. ”

Seeing that this was the case, not Yin Zhige, Zhong Xiaoshu's heart calmed down a little, and smiled decently, "The courtiers respect the queen's will." ”

"Okay, our family words have also been brought, so please ask the general's wife to leave for the palace tomorrow, and then our family will not come again and again." The father-in-law shook off the dust, said a few polite words, and hurried to the next house.

"Father-in-law walks slowly, and Nianwu sends off guests."

Since you want to enter the palace to guard the spirit, one of the clothes should not be too fancy and gorgeous, and the other should not be thick makeup and thick powder.

Nianwu had just finished sending her father-in-law, and as soon as she came back, she began to pick up her clothes for Zhong Xiaoshu and chattered in pieces.

"Madam, this time is very different from the last flower-viewing meeting, last time it was just a garden of courtiers held by the queen mother, this time it is not only the courtiers and their families to go, but also the relatives of the emperor and the country will come, and it is even more sloppy."

Zhong Xiaoshu nodded, indicating that he knew what he knew, and said, "You should be more familiar with these palace rules and taboos than me, so you can prepare some for me this time." ”

Nianwu is still more relieved. Zhong Xiaoshu watched for a while, saw that the sun was getting darker, and then turned around and went to the kitchen. Slowly simmered a pot of tender and refreshing lily lotus seed chicken porridge.

When the sky was dark, Yin Zhige returned.

"The chicken is simmering soft, and you'll be in good time when you come back." Zhong Xiaoshu beckoned to him, took out a bowl and gave it to him.

Yin Zhige was already hungry, but at this time, he smelled Zhong Xiaoshu's cooking and hooked his appetite again, and he took two sips when he smelled the fragrance, "My lady's craftsmanship is really good, and the things she makes are more refreshing than the imperial chefs in the palace, and I feel that my heart is clear when I drink a bowl in summer." ”

Sure enough, when he looked up, Yin Zhige's back was wet with sweat, "Hurry up and pad your shoulders, let's go take a shower and change your clothes." You've been working really hard these days. ”

It is necessary to arrange the affairs of the palace, but also to prepare the soldiers on the side of the imperial mausoleum.

Yin Zhige smiled heartily, and hugged Zhong Xiaoshu with one hand, "I'm not hard, it's hard for you to take care of your family." As long as he remembered that Zhong Xiaoshu was still at home, he felt full of energy.

Thinking of one thing, the smile gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice, "By the way, I also heard that tomorrow I will summon the courtiers and their families into the palace to guard the queen mother's spirit, and you must also go, then I will be alone at home tomorrow night." ”

Speaking of the back, with a somewhat reluctant look, he simply put down the bowl and hugged her whole, like a big black dog pounced on him.

I don't know when he started, he didn't want to be separated from her for a moment, and he was already in love.

Zhong Xiaoshu felt funny and sweet in his heart, patted him, and wanted to bow his head and kiss gently, but what came to his nose was a smell of sweat.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was completely gone, and he pinched his nose and urged him, "Don't rely on me, go take a bath first, if you don't take a shower today, you won't want to go to bed." ”

It's really impossible to ignore the sweat of the big summer, and it's a rough man like a general.

Yin Zhige snorted lightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, but there was a smile in the corner of his eyes that couldn't be hidden......

Early the next morning, Zhong Xiaoshu was called by Nian Wu, dressing up and dressing.

This can be regarded as her most solemn dress, her whole body is plain, the beads on her head are also white, and her face is only lightly covered with a layer of powder, but she is very beautiful and alive.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must be filial. This is really not false at all, and Zhong Xiaoshu at the moment was stunned for a second.

Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. His Xiao Shu had unconsciously faded his youthful coat and bloomed with the brightest brilliance.

Zhong Xiaoshu glanced at him with a shallow smile, but he didn't have time to say a few more words to him, and the carriage sent by the palace to pick up people had already arrived at the door.

The royal carriage was very fast, and after a while, Zhong Xiaoshu entered the palace and was helped out of the carriage, and there were already many family members and ladies around one after another.

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't want to stand out, and followed those ladies with Nianwu in front of Cining Palace.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived—"

With a loud shout, a beautifully decorated carriage stopped, and the four palace maids immediately stepped forward to open the way, and the courtiers and ladies consciously retreated to both sides.

Zhong Xiaoshu also followed people. Ryu leaned over and saluted, "See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." ”

This is the younger sister of the current emperor, Zhao Yuan'an. Since he was a child, he has been honored, and his relationship with the emperor is also very close, and he is deeply favored by the queen mother, and his status is extraordinary.

Zhong Xiaoshu stood behind the people, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the eldest princess, only to see that her eyes were clear, straight forward, cold and self-imposing, and extraordinary, with the posture of the eldest princess of a country with grace and luxury, etiquette and respect.

She was not ambiguous at all, and she did not gossip with the ladies around her, so she walked into Cining Palace elegantly and dignifiedly, and took the lead in guarding the spirit of the Queen Mother.

It wasn't until the palace maids who followed behind the eldest princess also entered the Cining Palace that all the ladies got up one after another.

Zhong Xiaoshu glanced at it from a distance, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart that this eldest princess was very different from her biological daughter Ning Shuyan, she was cold and dignified, and her aura was powerful and domineering, giving people a feeling of unconscious admiration.

But from this point of view, the "White Lotus" county lord really didn't have the slightest advantage of his mother.
