A grand wedding was held in the capital.

The royal family has not had a princess for many years, and although this wedding was prepared in a hurry, the formation was huge, and it was simply envious.

Countless people who have old ties with the Xun family have come to congratulate them, and those who have no previous contact with the Xun family also took the opportunity to establish contact with the Xun family.

After the princess, the future Xun family will soar and flourish, just around the corner. Didn't you see that the few families who had princesses before were all developed?

No matter how sour the rumors of Princess Qianning and the crown prince were spread to people before, now that Qianning is really married, those people will never say those cool words in front of the Xun family.

Ning Wangfu was also mixed with these congratulatory people, and sent a large number of gifts to congratulate the Xun family.

Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu did not come forward in person, although this matter played a huge role in the two of them, but the most important thing now is not to show their feet.

Yan Qingge learned from reliable sources that there was a concubine in Prince Zhao's Mansion who was taken to live in the palace, and it seemed that because she was very loved by the emperor, she was named a princess in just a few days.

This matter is not big or small, because some time ago, the queen's sister-in-law was also made a county lord.

Many people say that it is because the emperor is old and feels sad when he sees his last daughter Qianning getting married, so he has made all the girls he can see in front of him the high positions of county lord and princess.

There are a few people with a good status who have begun to secretly plan whether to send their daughter to the palace as well, maybe they can get a princess or something.

Needless to say, these people's wishful thinking was self-explanatory, but Yan Qingge sneered in his belly.

Others don't know what's going on, how could she not know!

Some time ago, Yan Hanqiu was named the county lord because Yan Shuyu proposed to let Yan Hanqiu go and kiss. But Ouyang Shaoming was also ruthless, when Yan Hanqiu was named the county lord and the matter was confirmed, he immediately reported to the prince and exposed several restaurants controlled by Yan Shuyu in Beijing.

It was these restaurants that had been hyping up the unwarranted things about the prince and Qianning outside, which made the prince's good deeds of calling Qianning and his relatives before ruined.

The prince was really angry, after he took charge of the government alone, his wrist was already very hard, only he moved others, who would dare to shake his wrist. Yan Shuyu did this, which made him a big taboo, and immediately, Yan Hanqiu, who had been named the county lord, was naturally drawn off the list of relatives by the prince.

Yan Shuyu, who originally wanted to use this incident to get close to the prince and have a good relationship with him, stole chickens and rice.

And the girl from Prince Zhao's Mansion who was summoned to the palace is the new substitute for harmony, otherwise, how could she be named a princess.

Yan Qingge didn't know how long that girl would live if she got married, but she knew that Prince Zhao's Mansion was willing to make sacrifices, and the prince must have exchanged something with Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Since the death of Prince Zhao, Prince Zhao's mansion has been in a slump, and now it seems that it is a good opportunity for them to turn over.

Yan Qingge propped his head and thought lightly.

Now just looking at the time when the girl was secretly sent out of the palace, I know when Le Yi will be able to come to the capital.

Le Yi has been trapped for almost a month now.

In the spring, it is warm day by day, and now is the time when butterflies are crazy and flowers are confused, and at noon, when it is the hottest, Yan Qingge is too hot in a spring shirt, and he doesn't know what the emperor's body is rotting now.

After waiting for a few more days, Yan Qingge's eyeliner replied to him, there was a carriage coming out of the palace, heading out of the city, and at the same time, on the side of the Ministry of Rites, several carts of things were transported out, and the road they took seemed to be in the same direction as the car that went out of the palace.

Yan Qingge knew that the matter had already been done.

Yan Xiuyu also knew that they were about to leave the capital, and every day he instructed his subordinates to go out to buy things that might be needed on the road, and even took Yan Qingge and the children to the restaurant for several days in a row.

Although many of these restaurants don't make the food as good as the legend, the signature dishes are still good. When you leave the capital, it will be difficult to eat this bite of food in the capital again.

The capital, for many Great Zhou people, is a place they dream of settling in all their lives. For Yan Xiuyu and Yan Qingge, this is their hometown.

Yan Qingge's belly grew bigger. The older her month, the more stable this fetus becomes, Ouyang Shaoming came to diagnose her pulse twice, and only said that there is no problem with Yan Qingge's body now, even if she is on a long-distance trip now, as long as she pays attention on the road, there will be no problems.

With Ouyang Shaoming's endorsement, Yan Qingge was a lot more lively, and even accompanied Yan Xiuyu to pick up the saddle and whip.

This morning, Yan Qingge was talking to Yan Xiuyu, and suddenly, Forsythia ran in and said, "Niangniang, our informant outside came to report that my uncle has entered Beijing." Uncle took a team of chariots and horses, disguised as merchants, and went directly to the palace, and our people did not have a chance to communicate with him. ”

Yan Qingge said: "It's normal, don't worry!" Uncle he's right not to contact us now, let's wait for news. ”

In the evening, suddenly, a strange bell rang, the sound was huge, like a ripple, spreading in the calm dusk of the capital.

The bells rang endlessly, one after another, and finally, I don't know how long it took, it calmed down.

Some of the vases in the houses of those who lived closer to the palace were knocked down by the bell, while those who lived farther away from the city could hear the bell, although it was not too loud.

Many experienced people were shocked in unison, doesn't this bell mean that the emperor has died!

Obviously, the emperor only married a daughter some time ago, and it has only been a few days, why did he suddenly die, God is really not long-sighted.

However, since a few years ago, the emperor has been rumored to have lingering illness, and there has always been a court, and the prince is acting as the government, and it is reasonable that he is really dead.

In order to show their loyalty, some old ministers have fallen to the ground crying, kowtowing to the palace, and their brains are bleeding.

Not long after, the officials and aristocratic families of some status in the entire capital sent their own family members to the palace.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou, after learning of the emperor's death, they had to hold a vigil for the emperor in the square in front of the palace.

Yan Xiuyu changed into a coarse white dress, covered his head with a sack, and walked towards the palace with great filial piety, and met many acquaintances on the way, all of whom were almost dressed up.

The crowd walked hand in hand and soon arrived at the place.

Yan Xiuyu was crowded in the crowd, secretly looking around, some people were crying and snot, and they didn't know whether it was true or false, while some people were full of shock and anxiety, obviously not knowing that the emperor had actually been dead for a long time, and it was only today that the body was transported back. And some people have a black face, so that people can't see what their real thoughts are.

At the gate of the palace, there was a eunuch standing, responsible for planning the kneeling position for the newcomers and distinguishing who was coming. Those who are too low in status are not qualified to come to the palace to cry, and they also have a record book, and those who have reached their status but have not come to cry will inevitably be liquidated when this period of time has passed.

Yan Xiuyu's status was high, kneeling in front of people.

Before leaving, Yan Qingge had a handkerchief in his sleeve.

The handkerchief was slightly yellowed and looked a little old, embroidered with a cluster of inconspicuous orchids. But Yan Xiuyu recognized it at a glance, this handkerchief was the one she was holding in her hand when he was very young, when he first saw Yan Qingge.

She threw the veil into his eyes, and he burst into tears, which frightened him at the time, for he had cried for the first time in his memory.

This handkerchief is a ginger handkerchief that Yan Qingge has not used for many years, Yan Qingge was afraid that Yan Xiuyu would not be able to cry, so he specially turned it out and added some new ingredients.

Kneel in front of people, and don't cry. Yan Xiuyu lifted his sleeves, covered his face, and took the opportunity to rub the ginger handkerchief on his two eyes, and suddenly, tears fell down, and his entire eyes were red.

This feeling is really uncomfortable, Yan Qingge added a fierce material to this veil today, which is much more powerful than what she used for herself when she was a child.

Seeing that Yan Xiuyu didn't cry, but the tears fell down one by one, his face was full of unbearable expressions, and even the pain was bitten at all, and the eunuchs who were in charge of watching them made a good note for Yan Xiuyu on the paper.

When the king dies and the courtiers are sad, they must be loyal ministers. As for those who can't shed their tears, and those who cry fakely, they will also write it down!

Yan Xiuyu was originally good-looking, but now his eyes and nose are slightly red, his face is full of pain, and he looks like he can't bear to make a sound, and the people kneeling next to him can't bear it.

This cry cried until most of the night, and even those who could shed tears were tired.

Yan Xiuyu knelt there, his eyes slightly closed, and accidentally, he actually fell asleep on his knees. When he used to be the king of the hills on the grassland, he had to fight every day, and there was no day to rest, let alone the posture of sleeping motionless on his knees, even if he was allowed to sleep while riding a horse, he could do it.

Seeing that Yan Xiuyu closed his eyes slightly, and I saw tears on my cheeks, I still looked pitiful, and the eunuch who guarded instructed the people around me: "Is the meal cooked for the adults ready?" After a while, I picked up the middle one and gave it to Ning Wangye. ”

This is the best that these eunuchs can sell Yan Xiuyu.

Because the big pot of rice brought from the imperial dining room must have been cold, and the outermost ones must have cooled down the oil, and there was no way to eat it. At the bottom, it was already cold, and only the meal in the middle still had a trace of temperature.

Yan Xiuyu didn't know that those eunuchs were extra kind to him because of his performance, plus he was also physically strong, time passed day by day, the seven days of the wake were coming to an end, and there were very few people who could still straighten their backs and kneel and cry, among them, Yan Xiuyu was particularly conspicuous.
