Chapter 317: Pawn (2)
"Yes, the slave will be given to her when the old lady comes. … Ling Xiang handed the comb to Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao's fingers trembled and rubbed her spine, with a faint smile on her face.
Mrs. Xiao was the Empress of Xiliang Kingdom and the wife of Emperor Xiaoming.
As far as Ran Yan knows, Emperor Xiaoming Xiao Yue was a very talented emperor who wrote fourteen books such as "The Book of Filial Piety". He was a gentleman, a virtuous man of a 'chaotic' world, and when he died, his subjects were all mournful and weeping.
Such a man, the king of a country, will personally make a wooden comb for his wife, and will say love words to her, presumably the emperor and queen were very affectionate! However, he has been dead for decades, and in these decades, Mrs. Xiao recalls his tenderness, his love words, and how lonely she will be.
"May my Xiao descendants prosper." Mrs. Xiao sighed and slowly closed her eyes.
Ran Yan looked at her peaceful face, her heart tightened, and she called softly, "Grandmother? ”
She was answered by the warm and warm wind of the end of spring, mixed with the fragrance of peonies.
Ling Xiang hurriedly held Mrs. Xiao's hand, her voice trembled, and she was eager to wake her up, "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai!" ”
Ran Yan put her fingers on Mrs. Tai's neck, and she could still feel the warmth of her skin, but there was no pulse.
Mrs. Tai's illness was controlled, but this serious illness also consumed all her vitality.
"Mrs. Tai!" Ling Xiang crouched in front of Mrs. Xiao and cried.
Ran Yan looked at Mrs. Xiao's dignified straddle sitting, the black and red curl with the style of Han relics, the sideburns were like snow, and under the sunshine of the 'spring' day, she was graceful and noble like the most beautiful peony in the garden. There was wetness in Ran Yan's eyes, so he looked away, and said to the 'waiter' who was kneeling beside him, "Go and invite the prince and the lady." ”
"Yes!" When the maid received the order, she picked up her skirt and hurried to the front yard.
"What's going on?" Xiao Song and Liu Qingsong had just entered the 'door', and they bumped into the 'waiter' who was running out in a panic, and their hearts couldn't help but rise.
Before the maid could answer, the two of them heard Ling Xiang's cry in the courtyard and ran in quickly.
"Grandmother." Xiao Song suddenly stopped at the point of being two feet away from Mrs. Tai, she sat upright with a light smile as usual, as if she was just enjoying the warm sunshine and the fragrance of 'flowers' in the yard, but that dress was unprovoked sad.
Liu Qingsong stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to pinch Mrs. Xiao's pulse, and his face turned pale.
Ling Xiang's crying suddenly stopped, and the whole person threw herself on the ground, and she actually passed out, Ran Yan hurriedly took the 'medicine' box in Liu Qingsong's hand, and found the silver needle to help her smooth the pulse.
When Ling Xiang was out of danger, Ran Yan raised his head again, but saw Xiao Song's eyes flushed, and his 'lips' were tightly pursed into a line.
Ran Yan ordered someone to carry Ling Xiang back to the room, got up and walked to Xiao Song's side, and reached out to hold the fist he had clenched hidden in his sleeve.
But in a moment, a group of people led by Song Guogong hurried over.
"Mother!" Song Guogong walked to the bottom of the corridor and knelt on the ground with a pop, and the people who followed knelt down one after another.
Seeing that Xiao Song was still standing upright, Ran Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand and dragged him, helping him to kneel.
Liu Qingsong's face was pale, and his eyes knelt down with Xiao Song without focus.
The courtyard is full of sorrows, and the bright and beautiful 'flower' garden of 'spring' is full of mournful cries.
"Husband, you have to mourn, the body of the A family can't be placed outside like this." Dugu wiped his tears and comforted Song Guo for justice. Dugu's tears are really complicated, on the one hand, she has pressed a mother-in-law for decades, and she is very depressed, and now she is finally free: on the other hand, she has lived with Mrs. Xiao for so many years, and she does have feelings. What's more, after all, Mrs. Xiao was once a queen of a country, and she acted magnificently, and never deliberately blocked her in small matters.
As soon as Dugu's words of consolation came out, many people followed suit, and Song Guogong couldn't stop crying, and he didn't accept the handkerchief handed over by Dugu, but wiped it with his sleeve, barely stabilized his mind, and commanded people to replace all Mrs. Tai's 'bed' with new covers, and lifted Mrs. Tai up.
"Who is by Mrs. Tai's side, and what are your last words?" Song Guogong seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and his voice was unusually hoarse.
Ran Yan lowered his head and said, "It's the daughter-in-law." She then said, "Mrs. Tai said, may my descendants be prosperous." ”
The Liang Dynasty is not there, Emperor Xiaoming is not there, and Mrs. Xiao's last sentence "May my Xiao descendants prosper" has already made clear all the meaning of her second half of her life.
When Song Guogong heard this, he couldn't help but cry bitterly.
The Dugu family was busy serving, Xiao Ruizhi walked out of the house, ordered someone to call the housekeeper over, and asked him to immediately send someone to inform the people of the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao's time has come.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, hurriedly answered, and hurried to do the matter.
About half an hour later, everyone in the family arrived, Mrs. Xiao was originally a country, naturally it was impossible for her to be alone in the entire harem, and the son born to the concubine was also her son, but fortunately, Xiao Yue was not a good 'woman' and 'sex', except for those who had passed away, there were only six sons-in-law. Even so, with the addition of Sun,
The great-grandson is already a room full of people, crying noisy and very sad.
Ran Yan has been guarding Xiao Song inch by inch. He didn't cry, but his eyes were bloodshot, and the description was terrifying.
Mrs. Xiao's affairs The Xiao family has long been mentally prepared, and she is already a Renrui, and her death is also a joy and mourning, after a moment of sadness, everyone's emotions are gradually calming down, and the sons and grandchildren of each room gathered in the meeting hall to discuss Mrs. Tai's funeral, and at the same time sent someone to the palace to return Mrs. Tai's funeral.
Mrs. Xiao is the lady of the Holy Lady of Liangguo, and the regulations should be done according to her grade and the meaning of the Holy Lord.
In less than half an hour, a holy decree came down from the palace.
A group of people hurriedly went to clean their faces again, the man changed into court clothes, and the 'woman' changed into the 'woman' clothes, came out to receive the order, and knelt in front of the inner 'door' road full of courtyard.
The unique voice of the inner 'servant' slowly recited the holy decree, and Ran Yan listened to the long and awkward paragraph, most of which were praises of the affirmation of Mrs. Xiao's life without practical significance, and finally came to the point, chasing "Mrs. Liangguo" for "Queen Xuanhui Liangguo" to make the same Mrs. of the country.
Mrs. Xiao was originally Mrs. Yipinguo, which is already the highest level of foreign 'women', and the specifications can't be raised any further, but being posthumously awarded the title of "Queen of Xuanhui Liangguo" is already the highest treatment. This is also Li Shimin's broad-mindedness, and it is also to appease the Xiao family, who used to be the royal family of the Liang Dynasty.
"Guogong still asks for condolences!" The inner 'servant' 'handed over' the holy decree to him and comforted him.
A group of people in front of him were polite, Xiao Song gently squeezed Ran Yan's hand, gave her a look, and motioned her to look to the right front.
Ran Yan followed his gaze, and saw that the group of blue-colored Zhai Yi's life 'women' had no 'flower' patterns, obviously the grade was not high, and one of the 'women' had only one pair less than the Dugu's life 'women' clothes! Therefore, she stood in the midst of a group of 'women' and looked very eye-catching.
