，。

The Queen Mother passed away, and the whole country mourned.

Pei Xin rushed back to Chang'an five days later, and when the boy helped Pei Xin, who had a white beard, into the Zhengyang Palace, Yang Qiqi barely recognized it. When Yang Qiqi gave birth to Murong Yun two years ago, Pei Xin also went to Luoyang. At that time, he was still rarely seen with Huafa, and he looked tough. But see you again today, Pei Xin's old age and decadence made Yang Qiqi feel sad.

Yang Qiqi choked up, "Master??" No matter how hard it was to help herself, tears fell out with a crackling drop.

Pei Xin barely maintained the color on his face, stepped forward slowly, and comforted him in a wide voice: "A hundred years of life is just a moment, and it is always difficult to escape life, old age, sickness and death." You have to look away, don't be too sad. If you hurt yourself because of this, the Queen Mother has loved you for many years, and how can she rest assured? ”

Murong Zhao stood beside Yang Qiqi, nodded respectfully to Pei Xin, Pei Xin saluted him, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Pei Xin, and said gratefully: "The imperial grandmother passed away, and Xiao Qicheng washed his face with tears. When he cried, he even fainted twice. The imperial doctor told him that if he was grief-stricken like this again, he was afraid that it would be harmful to the child in his womb. She listens to you the most, and when you come, she can ease up a little. ”

Pei Xin looked at Murong Zhao and naturally raised his hand to support the grief-stricken and crumbling Yang Qiqi, the protective posture made him feel at ease.

Yang Qiqi hurriedly put away his tears and asked Pei Xin to sit inside. The master and apprentice exchanged pleasantries, and Pei Xin said to Murong Zhao: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must still have many important matters, so you don't have to accompany the old man." After talking for a while, I will leave the palace. ”

Murong Zhao could naturally understand that Pei Xin and Yang Qiqi had something to say, but he didn't care about this, but when he heard that Pei Xin was going out of the palace, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Since the master has returned to Beijing, it is better to live in the East Palace." It's also much easier for you to talk. ”

Pei Xin said: "There are many rules in the palace, I am used to being idle, and I still live in the Mansion of Liang Guo. An old man like me and Liang Guogong is seeing one side and less side. I still want to catch up with old friends. ”

Murong Zhao couldn't force himself to stay, and after inviting Pei Xin to take care of himself, An Liang entered the door and said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Rui is back, and Concubine Xian's honor is also going to Luoyang, and??" Murong Zhao hummed, said goodbye to Pei Xin, and got up to go out.

Yang Qiqi's eyes were slightly swollen and red, and when he saw Murong Zhao leaving, he said to Caiping: "Auntie go and bring the box next to my pillow." ”

Pei Xin took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, sighed for a long time, and said, "When did it happen?" ”

"On the eighth day of the fifth month, when I got up early in the morning, the Queen Mother said that she was going to Leyouyuan. I picked out an apricot red palace suit that I had never put on my body, and asked Aunt Hui Silk to invite me??" Yang Qiqi told Pei Xin about the situation that day.

Pei Xindi's expression was very bitter and he didn't say a word.

At this time, the color screen brought the box of the red sandalwood carved lotus flower that Yang Qiqi said, and after handing it to Yang Qiqi, he silently retreated outside to guard.

Yang Qiqi personally sent it to Pei Xin and said, "Aunt Hui gave it to me, and the Queen Mother gave it to her." When she goes, I'll hand you the box. ”

Before Pei Xin could take the box, tears fell. Yang Qiqi has only seen Pei Xin cry once in his life. On weekdays, Pei Xin always looks calm and composed, not alarmed, and the clouds are light and breezy.

Yang Qiqi called out worriedly, "Master??"

And Pei Xin didn't open the box, as if he knew what was inside.

Yang Qiqi whispered: "Master, mourn." ”

Pei Xin smiled reluctantly and sighed: "When I just entered the door, the teacher was still persuading you, but now it will be you who persuade me." The Si people have gone, so naturally we all have to mourn. When Pei Xin said this, he paused slightly, seemed to be a little ashamed to speak, and asked, "She, if she goes, can be peaceful." ”

Yang Qiqi said: "When the Queen Mother went, she didn't have too much pain. In the Shengping Pavilion, he recalled the past and left with a smile. Yang Qiqi did not tell Pei Xin that when the Queen Mother was dying, she never forgot it and never saw Pei Xin for the last time.

Pei Xin gave a brief "um" and didn't ask more.

By the time Pei Xin got up to leave, it was already ten o'clock in dusk. Yang Qiqi got up in person, sent him to the main gate of the East Palace, watched him board the carriage, and repeatedly urged him to go back, but Yang Qiqi was unwilling to leave. The lonely back made Yang Qiqi very distressed.

"Mother."

At this time, a pair of soft little hands suddenly grabbed Yang Qiqi's hand. She turned around and saw the little wanyue like white dough, holding her hand. Her cheeks were pink, and her big eyes were sparkling as she looked at Yang Qiqi. Yang Qiqi saw in her daughter's eyes that she shouldn't have worries at her age.

Yang Qiqi was a little flustered and asked Wanyue, "Why did you run out." ”

"The imperial grandmother is driving, the mother concubine is sad, and Wanyue is also sad." Wanyue pursed her lips and spoke in a muffled voice.

Yang Qiqi touched Wanyue's head, leaned over slightly and asked her, "Do you know what it means to drive?" ”

Wan Yue shook her head, but after thinking about it, she nodded again, "Zhang Qin said, the driving is a person who is gone, and even if I miss her again in the future, I won't see her again." The emperor's grandmother loves the late moon very much, and gives the late moon delicious and fun, and during the New Year's Festival, the reward for the late moon is the most, and even the little aunt is not as much as the reward of the late moon. But the emperor's grandmother is driving, and no one will give Wanyue these things in the future, right? ”

Yang Qiqi gently stroked Wanyue's head, and was silent for a long time before he said quietly: "Yes." ”

The tears of the late moon are like pearls, falling one by one, making people look extremely pitiful and distressed.

Yang Qiqi couldn't help crying.

Yang Qinghuan got down from the sedan chair and saw this scene. She took her son Murong Hui's hand and said, "What are you doing, the mother and daughter are standing at the gate of the East Palace and crying!" "She said, all the mercy, who made you sad!"

Wan Yue rubbed in Yang Qinghuan's arms, like an injured kitten, unable to lift her spirits, and was extremely wilted.

Twenty-three years after Yang Qinghuan gave birth to two sons in a row. It's just that she likes her daughter very much, so she loves Yang Yuru's daughter and Wanyue very much.

Murong Hui stood beside Yang Qinghuan, holding her hand, wanting to reach the late moon, and said while stretching out his hand: "Cousin Yue's tears are like pearls, don't fall to the ground." This was very interesting, which made Yang Qiqi unable to cry anymore, and even Wanyue was stunned by what he said.

Yang Qinghuan hugged Wanyue and said, "The prince said that he was afraid that he would send Mr. Pei away in a while, and you would be sad and sad by yourself, so let me come over to accompany you." ”

Yang Qiqi wiped his eyes and said with disgust: "I'm useless these days, Concubine Shu has always been a child, and you have to worry a lot about the preparation of the inner palace." He's embarrassed to toss you! ”

Yang Qinghuan put down the evening moon, and the nurse took the cousin and sister to play in the inner hall. She took Yang Qiqi in her arms, entered the Zhengyang Palace, and said, "I know that you have the deepest relationship with the emperor's grandmother, but the person has already gone, so you should take care of yourself." You look in the mirror and you know why the prince can't rest assured. He is the one who really tosses! The father was sad, put everything behind, and said that he wanted to guard the soul of the queen mother, the funeral and the political affairs of the previous dynasty were put in the hands of the prince alone, and he had to take care of the fear that you would be sad and sad. He was when I came, guess what he said to me? ”

After Yang Qiqi heard Yang Qinghuan's words, he was naturally embarrassed and asked her, "What did he say?" ”

Yang Qinghuan said: "The prince said that funerals and political affairs are not difficult to deal with at all, and there are no old precedents and common sense on the left and right, but it takes some effort and time. But at the moment, your situation, first, can't follow a single example, and second, I'm afraid that the effort and time spent will have little effect. Besides, if you don't let you cry, I'm afraid that if you hold it in your heart, it will hurt your body even more. What if it makes you sad enough? I am afraid that crying will hurt my eyes or my body. He doesn't dare to accompany him all the time, for fear that you will be more sensitive and thoughtful. I understand you as well as him. Originally, when I was pregnant, whenever there was a small thing, it was easy to be sad and earth-shattering, let alone such a big event! ”

Listening to Yang Qinghuan talk about these truths, Yang Qiqi's expression immediately became depressed again.

Yang Qinghuan hurriedly said: "I'm telling you this, but I'm not here to make you blame yourself." When she said this, she didn't want to lead Yang Qiqi to think more, so she interrupted: "King Fang Cai Rui returned to Beijing, but was blocked by Zhang Ziyong outside the city gate. ”

Yang Qiqi then remembered that An Liang hurriedly came to invite Murong Zhao today, saying that King Rui and Concubine Xian had returned to Beijing one after another. He was still pondering, King Rui should go back to the house directly, why did he come to invite Murong Zhao, at this juncture, it is not as good as picking up the wind and washing the dust for King Rui!

"What is this for?"

Yang Qinghuan smiled and said, "King Rui returned to Beijing this time, and brought nearly thirty relatives with him. It is said that there is nothing wrong with not wearing a sword into the imperial city, and putting on a show. After all, King Rui has been in the south for so many years, and when he finally came back, he always had to show face for himself. ”

Yang Qiqi frowned and sighed thoughtfully: "Yongping Hou is really exaggerating a bit by doing this. ”

"The camp in the western suburbs is now Zhang Ziyong's soldiers, and Ziao happened to fall ill at this time. That Yuan Zhen is also stupid, the search for the Queen Mother's funeral, their Jin Wuwei arrangements are messy. Zhang Ziyong was guarding Chang'an City at this time, but he just wanted to show his father and hundreds of civil and military officials. At a critical time, he can still hold on! I've heard that the head of the military department is about to die. There is no suitable candidate at the moment. Jiulang said that the removal of the military department is to pave the way for entering the cabinet. After all, the cabinet ministers must be selected from among the people who have experienced among them according to the five ministries of officials, households, soldiers, criminals, and workers! ”

Yang Qiqi didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, because of the change of parents, Zhang Zongsi and Murong Shi are now strangers. Yang Yuyan, who used to link the two of them, can only live by relying on others. Therefore, this seemingly unusual thing did not cause Yang Qiqi too many doubts.
