【Chapter 25: Zhaorong's Burial and Huiwen】(1)

In fact, as early as a few months ago, Shangguan Wan'er was posthumously awarded "Huiwen Zhaorong", and the tomb was also built under the auspices of Princess Taiping.

Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to ask the saint to give a gift of two grades to show his appearance, and bury Shangguan Wan'er, who stood with Wei Shuren in the past and was not innocent until his death, Princess Zhenguo even agreed with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Ministry of Industry immediately stepped up, and the Zhaorong Tomb, which had not been completed for several months, ended in half a month.

Princess Taiping is still in charge of supervision, and she must bow down to every detail, and she sighs at her deep friendship with Shangguan Zhaorong when she knows, but she doesn't know that she has changed her temperament and treats the prince so hard. The DPRK and China have always been a faction that first waits and sees and then takes sides, and this has recently been a great headache for all.

Li Longji was just the opposite, he was the first to propose this matter, but he gave up the matter of supervising the construction of the tomb to Princess Taiping, and he only received the funeral goods.

The official in charge of the funeral goods is very worried about this - although the funeral goods of the second rank of the wife are regulated, since this matter is the responsibility of His Royal Highness the Prince, it must be finalized after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has reviewed it. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked like he was ignoring, and he didn't say he was satisfied or dissatisfied, and later Xiao Chang, who was beside His Royal Highness the Prince, was kind and revealed the true thoughts of the prince: "Although the Shangguan family is a second-grade Zhaorong, it is in cahoots with the Wei Shu people. ”

To put it bluntly, what if Shangguan Wan'er posthumously sealed the second grade Zhaorong, and is not a sinner? Posthumously sealing her is just to show the benevolence of the saint, and it is already her great honor and luck to be posthumously sealed. I think that Wei Shuren was defeated and Shangguan Wan'er was killed, but it was all done by His Royal Highness the Prince, at this time, if he showed his heart for Shangguan Wan'er's affairs, how should the prince behave, and what would the saint think of the prince?

The official was very obedient, and he took action when he knew it, and the deep meaning of this was known by God, even if the princess of Zhenguo asked later, he never mentioned it, only said that everything was going well.

As a result, on the day of Shangguan Wan'er's burial, it should have been a day when the officials who had been busy for many days could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but before the funeral procession set off, a thunderbolt was caught above their heads.

"What's going on?" When Princess Taiping first saw the funeral goods, she thought that the things had not been moved, but when she saw that she was about to leave, the things were still those things, and she finally realized that something was wrong. After a little thought, she knew whose instructions were this, although she couldn't do anything to Li Sanlang, but she was still angry with these officials, "This is the funeral goods you prepared for Wan'er?" This is what the second rank of the inner life woman deserves? It's clear that it's not as good as even a county gentleman! That's how you guys do this?! ”

He, Li Sanlang, also dared to humiliate Wan'er at this moment to humiliate himself who had worked hard in recent days?

There was silence all around, and the officials only stood with their heads bowed, saying nothing.

If the officials reacted, even if it was just an explanation, Princess Taiping could continue to investigate, but they were so quiet, which made Princess Taiping a little clueless. The atmosphere was stalemate, and Princess Taiping was thinking about whether she would be disgusted by Li Dan if she first proposed a low-ranking killer monkey, so that her recent efforts would be in vain, so she heard a familiar and cheerful male voice coming from not far away: "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

Li Longji arrived.

He was dressed in a plain round-necked robe today, with only the most ordinary ink-colored hat, like a young man from an ordinary eunuch's family. His appearance is already handsome and magnificent, but today he is lined with plain clothes, which adds a bit of grace, so that people can't see at a glance that he is the young but old and spicy His Royal Highness the Prince, who is no longer obscure.

Princess Taiping was directly dressed in snow-white, with only a silver treasure flower twig comb grate in her hair, and her makeup was even more plain and did not look like her. As soon as she saw Li Longji, she couldn't help frowning, but she still held back, and her smile was much more loving than before: "Since the saint handed over the funeral goods to the prince, I don't know what the prince thinks about it?" ”

Li Longji looked at the ox cart carrying the burial goods and nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good." ”

"Okay?" Sure enough, Li Sanlang did it on purpose, Princess Taiping suppressed all the unhappiness in her heart and asked very patiently.

"Dare to ask my aunt, the tomb was built with the gift of the second grade, and there are five patios?" Facing Princess Taiping's smile, Li Longji's attitude was even better.

"Exactly—shouldn't it?"

"Naturally, it should be." Li Longji said, "Since this is the case, then it is most appropriate to prepare the funeral goods like this." In fact, why should my aunt be so tired, wouldn't it be good to leave these things to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, after all, it is the holy order of Aya, and they dare not slack off. ”

As soon as Li Longji mentioned the word "appropriate", Princess Taiping immediately understood what he meant.

No wonder Li Sanlang can always turn evil into good fortune, it turns out that his capture of Li Dan's emotions and thoughts is too accurate for him to achieve.

However, if it was just her own business, she might be able to make another compromise, but it was about Wan'er, and it was such a major event as the tomb, even if it made Li Dan disgusted with herself again, she wanted to fight for it again, but was stopped by Cui Xiang.

Cui Xiang whispered in Princess Taiping's ear: "At the moment, everything is going according to the princess's wishes, there is no need to have an unpleasant quarrel with the prince at this time, the heart of a saint is the most important thing." The princess's coming day is immeasurable, and if she wants to rebuild the tomb and re-bury it, isn't it all a matter of the princess's words? If you want to come to Huiwen Zhaorong Jiuquan, you will also understand the princess. The princess returned this time, but she put all her net worth and life on the line, so ruined, half a step back is a catastrophe, how can there be a trace of mistakes? ”

After Xiao Jiangyuan's physical examination, Cui Xiang was also much more restrained.

Even though Princess Taiping knew that Cui Xiang was right, she still couldn't say those words against her will while maintaining a smiling face, so she said: "Well, the auspicious time has come, even if you can add some things, there is no time." The concubine listened to the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, can she set off now? ”

Li Longji looked very happy on the surface, but in fact, he was very surprised in his heart - Ah Yuan was not bad, and his aunt really reacted like this. Speaking of which, is her grasp of her aunt's temperament more accurate than her grasp of his character?

This is not good, he is her Ah Lang, who is her aunt, isn't she putting the cart before the horse?

He didn't have time to continue thinking about it, Shangguan Wan'er's burial was to be completed today, and Xiao Jiangyuan was looking at him.

Speaking of this Xiao Jiangyuan, she was dressed very ceremoniously today. Since she was promoted to a fourth-rank permanent attendant in the fifth rank, her official uniform has changed from light crimson to dark crimson, and her belt has changed from ten gold belts to eleven scarlets. She came today in a brand-new official uniform, wearing an ink-colored felt hat on her head, and bunching all the three thousand green silks in it, only a few strands of broken hair leaked from her ears, showing a bit of the immaturity and playfulness that she should have at her age - of course, in Xiao Jiangyuan's own eyes, these two words have absolutely nothing to do with her.

Accessories such as the fish talisman around her waist are also complete, and she seems to be going to participate in a huge court meeting, and she has a lot less words, which makes Li Longji feel a little uneasy. He always wanted to tell her what he was going to do, but every time he was about to speak, there were always many other things that preempted him, and it could be said that he deliberately let those things preempt.

Anyway, she always knew herself, maybe she already knew what he was going to do.

Although Shangguan Wan'er was posthumously awarded the second-grade Zhaorong, she was not as filial piety as the emperor and queen, and she was a sinner, Li Longji and Princess Taiping could dress up like this plain and participate in her funeral, which is already great respect. Xiao Jiangyuan dressed up like this, which is understandable, but in the eyes of Princess Taiping, it is not like that.

No matter how grand Xiao Jiangyuan wears, crimson is crimson, very close to the color of vermilion, the color of blood.

Princess Taiping only felt that it was extremely dazzling, but she couldn't find out the reason, so she heard Li Longji say: "Then let's go, nephew ride the horse and open the way for my aunt!" ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
