Chapter 33: The Lady (2)
Yesterday, Jiang Yumo entered the palace to accompany her, Concubine Mei's complexion suddenly improved, as if she was healing, but she never thought that overnight, their mother and son would be separated forever.
Yumo saw that his face was bitter, and there were tears in his eyes but they never fell, he must have endured the grief in his heart, so there was no benefit to him, "Your Highness, cry out if you feel uncomfortable!" Holding it in my heart, but I want to hurt my body! ”
When she said this, the affection and concern in her eyes were already revealed.
At this time, Rui Wang Xuanyuan Qingzheng was led to the couch by the chamberlain and bowed to Concubine Mei's body.
He hadn't seen her for a long time since that day he had parted. I don't want to see you again at Concubine Mei's funeral today, although she is dressed in men's clothes, she can't hide her stunning face. Thinking that in order to avoid suspicion, Fang followed King Qin in disguise, so it seems that their marriage has not yet been approved by the emperor.
Otherwise, she should come to guard the spirit as the future princess of Qin.
After Xuanyuan Qing saluted, he slowly walked to Xuanyuan Che's side, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Fourth brother, mourn!" ”
Xuanyuan Che was slightly sluggish when he heard this, the sadness at his eyebrows and eyes gradually faded, and he said in a dumb voice: "Thank you, third brother!" ”
Seeing this, Yumo on the side suddenly turned sideways, for fear that he would be recognized by King Rui, staring at the ground with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, not daring to make a sound, but he didn't know that King Rui had already included her embarrassment in his eyes, and his heart was slightly sour.
At this time, the herald outside the hall was heard shouting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”
Everyone hurriedly moved to the entrance of the temple and bowed down.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Excuse me! Excuse me! Fourth brother! Third brother! Get up! Before the mother's spirit, we don't have to do this great gift between our brothers! Prince Xuanyuan Lang wore a light yellow brocade suit and waved his hand.
Xuanyuan Che stepped forward and clenched his fists: "Thank you for your understanding!" ”
The prince glanced at Yumo who was following him meaningfully, nodded slightly, and Jiang Yumo broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he recognized him, and almost fell under his feet, but fortunately, King Rui behind him raised his sleeves to support her.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, the princes and ministers only received the news in the early dynasty, and when the prime minister Jiang Chengze and the hundred officials went to the Ruyi Hall to mourn, the mourning hall had already been set up, and Xuanyuan Che silently guarded in front of the spirit.
Jiang Chengze recognized Jiang Yumo dressed as an attendant by King Rui's side as soon as he entered the hall.
Holding back the anger in his heart, after bowing to the incense in front of the spirit, he walked straight to King Rui, and after bowing down, he raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Yumo who was hiding beside King Rui, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous girl! When did you enter the palace? ”
Jiang Yumo couldn't wait to find a hole to get into at the moment, the development of the situation was not her expectation at all, when she left home last night to go to the Qin Palace, where would she have thought that Concubine Mei would die suddenly......
Xuanyuan Qing saw that the prime minister scolded her with anger on his face, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and said in vain: "Don't be annoyed, Mo'er entered the palace with this king!" ”
Jiang Chengze heard the bad news of Concubine Mei in the morning, but now he saw Yumo dressed and following King Rui, and King Rui deliberately protected her, so he couldn't help but wonder.
Didn't his daughter love King Qin? When did you get entangled with King Rui again? He was puzzled, and his thick eyebrows naturally frowned, but now he was in front of Concubine Mei's spirit, and everyone was watching, so he didn't bother to ask, just sighed lowly, glanced at Yumo deeply, and returned to the crowd helplessly after bowing to King Rui.
Yumo was too nervous, for fear that his father would be angry in public, so he held his breath in his chest, and his little face was slightly reddened.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for relieving the siege!" The palace was full of ministers, and in order to avoid suspicion, Yumo had to pretend to be his close attendant, and bowed his head to thank him.
"This is not where you should be, come with me!" Xuanyuan Qing had already noticed that there was a pair of sharp and cold eyes in front of the spirit that was always staring at him, and he didn't have to look at it, and he didn't know who it was. But it is inevitable that Yumo will be recognized by others again, so it is better to take her away first, and now I don't care about what the owner of the cold eyes thinks.
"This ...... Your Highness! The little one still has to serve His Royal Highness King Qin! Seeing that Xuanyuan Qing had turned around and wanted to leave, Yumo hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded in a low voice. Although Brother Che never cried from beginning to end, the sadness in his eyes couldn't be hidden after all, and when she saw him frowning a few times, she couldn't help but want to step forward to soothe him, but because of her identity, she didn't dare to embarrass him in front of people. Now is the time when he needs comfort the most, how can she leave him, leaving him alone to bear the pain of losing his mother.
Xuanyuan Qing naturally knew her affection for King Qin, but at the moment, he really couldn't rest assured, if Prince Shicai's expression said that she didn't see it, how could he not know that after all, this matter was related to the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it couldn't be done by her temperament.
"Girl, be obedient! Come with me! Don't say more! Xuanyuan Qing also knew her temperament, if she insisted on twisting it, she didn't know what trouble would happen, so regardless of everyone's eyes, he grabbed her wrist and strode out of the hall, letting her shake all the way to break free, he never let go.
King Qin Xuanyuan Che knelt in front of Concubine Mei in a plain white filial piety suit, watching Xuanyuan Qing take her away from his sight, his hands suddenly clenched into fists, and the cold in his eyes was pressing.
Out of the Ruyi Palace, all the way to the east, through the nine-song cloister and then walk about half a pillar of incense, is the Imperial Garden.
Xuanyuan Qing held Yumo's hand tightly until he entered the Imperial Garden, and when he saw that there was no one around, he let go of his hand, and looked down at her pouting, staring at herself viciously.
"What? Dragged pain? Let me see! Slowly stretched out her hand to hold her bare hand again, but she slapped the back of her hand with her backhand, stomped on her feet, leaned over and picked up a wicker between the grass and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Brother Qing! What exactly are you going to do? Mo'er said that she wanted to accompany Brother Che, why didn't you drag people out of the house? Brother Che's mother is gone, Mo'er wants to accompany him more, can't he? As she trotted all the way, her face turned a little crimson, and the dissatisfaction in her dark eyes was evident.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, although he is a prince, he is also a mortal after all. Even as a mortal, this matter of life and death must always be faced. Girl, you are so rash and easy to enter the palace, if you are recognized by an eventful person, can you know that it will bring trouble to your father? ”
Xuanyuan Qing didn't know what was going on, she only thought that she was so reckless because she felt sorry for King Qin, completely ignoring the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion. So he kindly persuaded him, but he didn't want him to say this, Yumo's expression changed immediately, Shicai's crimson cheeks were slightly white, the hidden worry at the bottom of his eyes poured out, and his red lips trembled slightly, but there seemed to be unspeakable pain.
