Ai'er went out for a while, and when she came back, she was empty-handed, and the hot water was not running, but it brought me a bombing news, the Empress Dowager Bai died.

The White Empress Dowager passed away.

It can be described as an unprecedented blow to Baifu, and when he got the news, the whole Baifu was immersed in a wail, from the wives of each room to the guards and maids in the entrance hall, no matter what they were doing at this time, they all put down their work and knelt in the courtyard crying.

The generals Bai Zhanqi, Bai Xiaoqiu, Eleven, and Nineteen hurried to the palace, and heard that the saint was also deeply affected by this sudden bad news, and immediately fell to the bed, unconscious.

Although the Empress Dowager Bai is not the biological mother of the saint, the grace of nurturing is greater than the sky, and in the heart of Emperor Jin, the Empress Dowager Bai has long been filial to her as her own mother.

On the second day, a soldier came to report that the Empress Dowager Bai was posthumously named the Empress Dowager Huici and buried in the imperial mausoleum, second only to the Empress Dowager.

Although the Empress Dowager Bai is the queen mother, but also a girl who married out of the White Mansion, the White Mansion as a maiden family, since the good life of the operation, not only to do it well, but also to do it grandly, fortunately, there is Mrs. Mu guarded, since the news of the death of the Queen Mother, she quickly arranged for the soldiers to hang the white silk and rhombic flowers, white lanterns in the house, and also invited the mage to practice, the whole White Mansion is gray, as a few months ago, there is no vitality, everyone is busy, no one dares to say a word that should not be said in the house, and even laughter is rarely heard.

In recent days, Mrs. Mu has lost a lot of weight, and her whole person looks light, as if a gust of wind can blow her away, her energy is not as good as before, she always looks listless, and she has to sit down and rest for a while after being busy. Perhaps because her body has not yet recovered properly, I can always hear from the mouths of the maidservants in the house these days that Mrs. Mu often has a heartache.

Since Zhao Yinlan was pregnant again, the general rarely came to visit Mrs. Mu, even if he knew that Mrs. Mu was not in good health, he just asked the soldiers with him to come and pass on a message, so that Mrs. Mu could rest and not work hard.

When I went to visit Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Mu was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Bai Qingrui pinched the silk handkerchief, her hands kept rubbing the handkerchief back and forth, her neck stretched out, only looking at the courtyard outside the door, looking preoccupied, seeing me coming, she hurriedly got up to greet her, and said with a smile, "Mr. is here."

I smiled and hummed, looked at Mrs. Mu lying on the bed again, and asked, "Is Mrs. Mu feeling better?"

Bai Qingrui also glanced at Mrs. Mu, and said, "It's not the same as before, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, A-Niang's body is a lot better, and when she heard the news of the death of the Empress Dowager Bai, she was sad in her heart, and she has been busy working hard in the past few days, as if her condition has worsened."

I walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, put my hand on the back of Mrs. Mu's hand, brushed it, and asked, "How is Mrs. Mu's appetite lately, and the amount of food is okay?"

Bai Qingrui replied, "A-Niang's meal is not significantly different from before, that is, she loves to drink soup, porridge and the like, Yin Tang doctor said that A-Niang should take soup and porridge more during this time, don't eat hard, cold, hard food is not easy to digest, cold food affects the stomach, porridge and soup will be easier to absorb, which is conducive to A-Niang's physical recovery."

I smiled and said, "Doctor Yin Tang is very skilled, what he said is credible, we just have to do what he says."

Bai Qingrui snorted and didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Mu woke up, she took my hand and whispered, "Mr. Su is here."

I smiled at Mrs. Mu and said, "Mrs. Mu, you are awake."

Mrs. Mu stood up and said, "How long has Mr. been here, look at my current body, it's useless, I just fell asleep as soon as I lay down, let Mr. Su wait for a long time." She glanced at Bai Qingrui behind me, and said in a slightly complaining tone, "Qingrui, this kid, I don't know how to wake me up, let Mr. wait here."

I hurriedly said, "No, no, it doesn't matter, I'm here to see Madame's body, it's better."

"It's like this when you're old, and it's useless." Ahem, cough, Mrs. Mu coughed a few times, but she was already a little out of breath, and her hands were shaking badly.

I hurriedly shouted, "Fourth Miss, bring the water quickly."

Bai Qingrui brought tea, and I helped Mrs. Mu sit up. Mrs. Mu drank two sips of water before lying down slowly, her face gradually recovering some blood, not as pale as just now. Seeing that Mrs. Mu closed her eyes again, I glanced at Bai Qingrui, and the two of them came out of the room together.

After we exchanged a few words in the hall, I was about to leave, when I saw Yin Ziran coming from a distance, "Yin Tang Doctor". Bai Qingrui and I shouted at the same time, and then looked at each other, Bai Qingrui shrunk her neck.

When Ziran first came to Baifu, I explained to him, for the sake of convenience, in private, only when I was with him, I called each other by his name, and in front of outsiders, I called him Yin Tang Doctor, and he called me Mr. Su.

Yin Ziran smiled at me and said, "Mr. Su is also there."

I nodded at him, and said with a snort, "I'm free today, just come over to see Mrs. Mu, is Doctor Yin from the Twelve Young Mansions?"

"Yes, I went to Twelve Shao early in the morning, and today I readjusted the prescription for Jun'er, and I just came back after grabbing the medicine." After Yin Ziran finished speaking, he looked at me and smiled at me. His smile is always so warm and makes me feel grounded.

Bai Qingrui on the side hurriedly said, "Doctor Yintang, A-Niang's heartache in the morning has been committed again, I'll go to find you, you're not here, now it's okay, you go and see my A-Niang."

Yin Ziran smiled at Bai Qingrui again, and said, "Okay, I'll go."

The three of them went into the inner room together, Mrs. Mu was still asleep, Yin Ziran gave Mrs. Mu a pulse, and asked "Fourth Miss, Mrs. Mu has a good appetite for the past two days, have you eaten anything this morning?"

Bai Qingrui hurriedly said, "Doctor Yintang, according to your instructions, A-Niang has mostly eaten porridge, soup, and some softer rice balls these days, that day you said that A-Niang wanted to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and I bought some fruits and vegetables back, A-Niang has been eating them these days."

Yin Ziran nodded with a faint smile, and said, "Very good, Fourth Miss is really a filial daughter, Mrs. Mu is also blessed to have a daughter like you, before Mrs. Mu's body is not well, let's do this to eat her."

Bai Qingrui almost jumped up happily, and said loudly, "Really, Doctor Yintang, are you telling the truth, it's the first time I've heard someone other than Daddy and Auntie praise me when I'm so big, Daddy used to praise me when I had something to do, and now I'm afraid that I will never praise me again, I'm becoming less and less important in his mind, Auntie used to criticize me most of the time, and the number of times I praised me was counted, and now Auntie is also sick, I would rather Auntie reprimand me than see her sick." After saying that, he began to cry again.

I stood by the window, and was about to step forward to comfort Bai Qingrui for a few words, but I saw Yin Ziran turn around, looked at Bai Qingrui, and said, "Fourth Miss, don't be sad, I was often beaten by my father when I was a child, he whipped me, and the skin of my back was cracked, when I was a child, I hated my father, I felt that he was too ruthless, and then I slowly understood that he hated iron and steel, my mother said that in fact, my father still loves me very much, although he beat me, but he hid behind his back and cried secretly, in the world, where are there parents who don't love their children, Mrs. Mu's illness is fine, slowly recuperate, it will be fine, you can rest assured."

After listening to Yin Ziran's words, Bai Qingrui stopped crying again.

Coming out of Mrs. Mu, Yin Ziran was looking at me all the way, the people in Baifu were talkative, I was afraid of being seen by others, so I had to go quickly, Yin Ziran walked behind me, he called me "Fan'er, you wait for me". The more he shouted, the faster I went, and at last I ran away, and after a short time I left him far behind, and ran back all the way back panting.

As soon as I sat down, Yin Ziran came in, he only gasped, and still asked me, "Fan'er, what's the matter, I called you just now, and you didn't respond a word, did I do something wrong?"

I pretended to be angry and said, "You did something wrong, you were very wrong, and I won't pay attention to you in the future." After finishing speaking, I took a sip of tea, picked up the pu fan and fanned it, looking at the wall with a pair of eyes.

Yin Ziran was anxious, and continued to ask, "What did I do wrong, me." After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said, "I remember, you must be angry about what just happened, right, I didn't do anything."

I turned my head to look at Yin Ziran, and looked at him with a serious look, just a few words confused me, what happened just now, did he do anything wrong, I was dizzy, I didn't know what he was talking about. Even so, I still stubbornly said, "You did a lot, and you said you didn't do anything."

Yin Ziran suddenly pounced in front of me and said, "Just now I just said a few more words to the fourth lady, you know, I don't have any other skills, it's just a lot of nonsense, since you don't like it, then I will never talk more in front of other women in the future, I only said to you alone, okay, don't be angry."

Yin Ziran threw himself on my lap, pulled my arm and shook it, looking at me with a smile on his face.

It turned out that he was talking about this matter, Yin Ziran was too sensitive, and before I could speak, Yin Ziran grabbed my hands and said, "Fan'er, do you know, I just looked at your angry appearance, I am so happy, I am really happy, I have been very panicked before, I don't know if I have a place in your heart, even if you ask someone to bring me into the White Mansion, I still have no bottom in my heart, I don't know if you will care about me, through today's incident I finally understand, it turns out that you have me in your heart, you will eat for other women, I'm so happy, Fan'er." Yin Ziran said that he was excited, and he picked me up and turned me around several times.

I'm scared half to death, it's broad daylight, and Ai'er may have come back, if Ai'er sees how good, if it is seen by someone else, it will be more troublesome, my mind suddenly flashed fourteen young faces, and Bai Xiaoqiu, Bai Yan Leng, and eleven young, seventeen young and general, as well as Mrs. Mu and Bai Qingrui, including Xuanxuan, they kept spinning in front of my eyes, turning faster and faster, some of them laughed at me, some pointed their fingers at the bridge of my nose, some laughed at me, some cried, some scolded me, I thought I was probably stunned by Yin Ziran, and hurriedly shouted, "Ziran, let me down."

Yin Ziran put me down, I staggered and stood up, my body was crooked and almost fell, Yin Ziran hurriedly grabbed me, while I was still dizzy, chirped and kissed me on the face, scared me to look at him like a frightened bird.

The general and the major generals waited until after the burial of the Empress Dowager Bai before returning, and I leaned back on the chaise longue in the courtyard, and the carriage stopped on the side of the street in front of my yard. The general Bai Zhanqi, the eleventh young man, Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yanleng got out of the carriage one after another, maybe Zhao Yinlan was pregnant, Bai Zhanqi looked like he was full of spring breeze, the whole person seemed to be several years younger, and he walked a lot briskly, while walking in front, he turned around and talked to several major generals behind him, occasionally turned around and gestured with his hands, he was always smiling on his face, even if the death of the Empress Dowager Bai did not affect his good mood. Several major generals were also laughing, they sometimes stopped, stood face to face and talked, sometimes walked forward, Bai Zhanqi smiled and said a few words to the eleventh young man and Bai Yan coldly, and I don't know what Bai Xiaoqiu said, Bai Zhanqi actually raised his hand to hit him, Bai Xiaoqiu dodged, Bai Zhanqi didn't pounce in the air, so he had to slap Bai Xiaoqiu on the shoulder, Eleven Shao and Bai Yan Leng saw this, and quickly accelerated their pace and walked forward, Bai Xiaoqiu also trotted quickly, and Bai Zhanqi chased behind.

I don't know what funny things happened that made these major generals play like children. In a blink of an eye, there was no figure, I stretched my neck and looked effortlessly at the side of the street, and after a long time I didn't see anything, so I had to go back to the recliner and continue to lie on it to bask in the sun, and said to myself, strange, it was still there just now, how...

"It's strange that it's gone in the blink of an eye, and I guess that's what Mr. said in the second half of his sentence."

I looked back and saw that eleven young, Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yan Leng were there, so I hurriedly sat up from the chair and said with a smile, "Eleven less, twelve less, nineteen less, you are back."

Bai Yan said coldly, "It's not a big deal for someone to watch the excitement just now, isn't it very good, a few of us don't seem to have seen enough of Mr., so we came over."

My face was hot, even if I didn't have to look at it, I knew it was red, a pair of eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly I smiled, and said, "Hey, isn't it, I've been bored and panicked these days, sitting in this house all day in the sun, I'm sunning, sunning, I'm about to tan myself, I just saw a few children laughing and playing in front of my yard, I think they are really naïve, no one can be as naïve as them, I can't help but feel funny and look at it a few more times."

Bai Yan sneered, "I also saw it just now, I feel the same way as my husband, and I also think they are extremely naïve."

I glanced at Bai Xiaoqiu and Eleven Shao again, and the two of them only looked at me and Bai Yanleng with a smile on the side, and didn't say a word. Bai Xiaoqiu looked even more ambiguous, looking at me with a pair of eyes squinting and smiling, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body, what is he doing here, live teasing, in front of everyone, in front of the eleventh and nineteenth young, he really damned, I was embarrassed by Bai Xiaoqiu, so I had to pick up the book to cover half of my face.

Eleven Shao was too puzzled by the amorous feelings, and at this juncture, he actually asked me, "What book does Mr. read, can you lend me a look".

Obviously I was holding a book to cover my face, Eleven Shao couldn't see it, and asked me if I could borrow the book to him to take a look, what is there to see, what can you see at this glance, I pulled the corners of my mouth, and glanced at Bai Xiaoqiu coldly, and saw that he was looking at me with a wicked smile, and glanced at Bai Yanleng beside him for a moment, but seeing Bai Yanleng only looking at me with a faint smile, the meaning can also be seen in the faint smile, I glanced at Bai Yanleng next to Eleven Shao, and saw him looking at me with a very expectant little eye.

My heart is horizontal, isn't it just a broken book, and it's not that I don't pay it back, just now he also said that he only borrowed a look, okay, okay, I had to hand the book to Eleven Shao.

Eleven Shao smiled and took it, after he flipped through a few pages, he locked his gaze on a certain place, and then read it out, "A wise man must be far-sighted and discerning, not observant, not selfish, and a person who can practice the law, he must be strong and resolute, and he will not be upright, and he cannot be overbearing."

I hurriedly got up from the chaise longue and drove on, and then recited, "The trouble of ten thousand times, the minister is too heavy, the trouble of a thousand times, the left and right are too faithful, and the public trouble of this person is also the master." And the man and the lord have a great sin, and the lord has a great loss, and the profit of the lord is different from the other."

Bai Yan was stunned on the side, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he saw that the corners of his mouth gradually curved upward, looked at me, and then looked at Eleven Shaodao, "I remember, this is written by Han Feizi, it turns out that Feifei and Brother Eleven like Han Feizi's "Lonely Anger".

I smiled, nodded a little embarrassedly, and glanced at Eleven Shao by the way, and he nodded at me.

Bai Yan said coldly, "Everyone says that Han Feizi is a rare talent, he is not good at speaking because of his stuttering, but his literary talent is particularly outstanding, and even Li Si back then sighed to himself."

Eleven Shaodao, "Isn't it, such a talent, but he was born with a stutter, which is a bit regrettable."

Bai Xiaoqiu interjected on the side, "If you want to talk about regrets, who can have no regrets in a person's life, some regrets can be made up, and some cannot, just like Han Feizi, he is born, who can he blame, who can he blame." With that, he looked at me again.

Bai Yan hurriedly said, "Isn't it a bit disrespectful for us descendants to discuss the stuttering of our ancestors here."

The three of them smiled indifferently and glanced at each other, and I saw that a few of them had no intention of leaving, so I had to shout into the house, "Ai'er, eleven, twelve, and nineteen are here, you bring a few chairs out and make us a pot of tea."

Ai'er responded, quickly brought a chair and made tea, not only that, but the careful and thoughtful Ai'er also prepared pastries and fruits for us.

A few of us sat in the middle of the courtyard, drinking tea and eating fruits, while chatting, since the seventeenth young man went to Mobei, for more than two years, we have not gotten together to chat happily like today.

From the death of the Empress Dowager Bai to today's saint, from Mrs. Mu's illness to the question of when Jun'er will wake up, from Bai Qingrui's marriage to the son of the seventeenth younger, from Mobei to the fourteenth young man in the frontier.

We chatted until nightfall.
