When the emperor threw the ash jar over, the prince subconsciously picked it up, and it was easy to hold it, but his feet slipped and he staggered and fell to the ground.

However, even so, he did not knock the urn into it.

The prince was busy inspecting the jar full of ashes, but he did not find that there was fear in the emperor's eyes at that moment.

It wasn't until the crown prince stabilized his body that he saw the emperor's appearance at this time.

Seeing the emperor holding the table and gasping, the crown prince asked again: "As the queen mother of the country, I don't know about her funeral, what will the father want to add?"

Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly, took a breath, and said, "Get out." ”

Hearing this, the prince felt a pain in his heart, subconsciously hugged the ashes of the jar, and turned away without looking back.

After the crown prince's figure was no longer visible, the emperor raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very terrifying.

......

The queen mourns, there is no name, there is no national funeral, and no entry into the imperial mausoleum.

Among the queens of the Western Chu Kingdom, this is the only concubine who was buried ten miles outside the imperial mausoleum.

In this regard, the crown prince was extremely angry, but his anger was of no avail, because after the emperor's decree came down, it was directly announced to the world.

This is a slap in the face of the prince in the open, and even more in the face of the Jiang family. In addition to his anger, the prince gave birth to a sense of crisis.

Although he still lives in the East Palace, he feels that his position is a little unsecure.

The crown princess wanted to advise, but after being driven out by the prince, she didn't dare to persuade again, and the entire East Palace was gloomy.

Since the empress's funeral, the crown prince has fallen into a deep panic, and he has been placed under house arrest by the emperor, and he has not even attended the empress's funeral.

Or rather, the queen did not have a funeral at all. She was buried in a hurry, and she was still outside the imperial mausoleum, and the crown prince was not allowed to leave the palace. But although he didn't go, he could also imagine how miserable the queen should have been when she was buried.

And what made him even more panicked was the Jiang family.

Since the last time he saw his uncle in Dali Temple, he had never seen anyone from the Jiang family again. The prince sent out many secret letters in a row, but in the end there was no response.

Just when the prince was in a state of panic, he finally got a reply.

But when he saw the content of the reply, he sat down on the ground.

There were only a few words on the letter, and it said one thing, the head of the Jiang family - dead.

Hang yourself at home.

At that moment, the prince only felt that the sky was falling, and in an instant, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

......

The East Palace was a mess, but it didn't affect the outside at all.

The head of the Jiang family hanged himself in the mansion, but the emperor did not move, and he didn't even have a will to appease, which couldn't help but make the courtiers start to guess his intentions.

The prince's party was panicked, and the second prince and his party began to come forward, but as for Gu Qingchi, he stood by and watched coldly.

The hearts of the people in Beijing are different, but that day is still slipping away unhurriedly.

Because the emperor issued an edict, no one was allowed to mourn, and no one was allowed to keep filial piety for her, so there was still a scene of harmony and happiness in the capital.

The undercurrent in the dark has never stopped, but on the surface, it has maintained the peaceful scenery of the world.

Double Ninth Festival in early September.

Shi Miaoyu and Lin Yanran returned to Lin's house together.

There was a funeral in Beijing, even though the emperor made a decree, but they still didn't dare to have fun, and there were very few people who went to climb the mountain.

After all, although the queen is dead, the crown prince is still there, and although he was grounded by the emperor, he was not deposed. In case one day the crown prince becomes the new king, when the time comes, he will be liquidated, but he will not be able to eat and go around.

So they'd better be careful.

Because Shi Miaoyu went to Yue's Mansion to pick up Lin Yanran first, when she arrived at Lin's Mansion, it was already almost noon.

These days have happened one after another, and Shi Miaoyu may not have seen Lin Siyu for a long time.

When he saw her, Shi Miaoyu smiled and saluted first, but was hurriedly stopped by Lin Siyu: "I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

The group greeted each other and went to Lin Siyu's room.

Yue Qiguang is a restless person, making a fuss around Shi Miaoyu, he is a child in the end, he is detained by Mr. on weekdays, and when he comes out now, he can't help but want to have fun.

Seeing him like this, Shi Miaoyu simply took him out to play. It just so happened that those medicinal herbs in the backyard were also in full bloom, and Shi Miaoyu just heard Lin Yanran say that there were a few cherished medicinal herbs in the backyard, and couldn't help but want to take a look.

Seeing that Yue Qiguang took Shi Miaoyu out, Lin Yanran talked to Lin Siyu about another thing.

"The family affair of praying for the wind has been decided?"

Lin Yanran only got the letter, and she was not unaware of the child's thoughts, so seeing that Lin Qifeng was getting older and older year by year, but she had never decided on the marriage, Lin Yanran was a little worried. After all, it is her nephew, if she really delays the marriage because of her daughter, then she also feels very sorry for her brother.

A few days ago, I saw Lin Siyu come to the letter, saying that it was for Lin Qifeng to see a girl, and Lin Qifeng also nodded and agreed, Lin Yanran couldn't help but want to come and ask.

It just so happened that today was September 9, and even if Shi Miaoyu didn't go out, she would have to drive people out and talk to Lin Siyu carefully.

Now that Shi Miaoyu has gone out, this just gave her two sisters a chance.

Lin Siyu knew what Lin Yanran was going to ask, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, now that the eight characters have been combined, the other party is a girl from the Qin family, and her father is a pen post of the Ministry of War, and he is a positive seventh product. However, the girl was brilliantly raised, and I met a few times, and I was quite satisfied. ”

At the beginning of the year, Lin Qifeng came out of the National Academy and entered the Hanlin Academy. He became a Hanlin at a young age, and he has a relationship with Gu Qingchi, so not only the nouveau riche, but even those families with some roots are also interested in inquiring about Lin Qifeng's situation.

After knowing that he was not married, some people started to use their brains.

Someone came to the door to say goodbye intentionally or unintentionally, and after Lin Siyu discussed with Lin Zhou, he talked to Lin Qifeng first.

Lin Qifeng was raised by her and was closest to her. Knowing that Lin Siyu talked about getting married, he just was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement, and only said: "Family background is second, appearance is second, as long as you have good character and filial piety to your elders." ”

After getting Lin Qifeng's permission, Lin Siyu did it for him. After several selections, most of those high-ranking families had a purpose, and she was afraid that Lin Qifeng would suffer a loss, but in the end, it was a lowly Qin family girl.

Hearing Lin Siyu explain the cause and effect of this, Lin Yanran relieved her heart, sighed and said: "Qifeng is not young anymore, and it is also a good thing that he is willing to marry now." ”

She has the same mind as Lin Siyu, family background is not important, the key is to have a good character, after all, Qifeng is a kind child, if you meet such a person with many eyes, it is inevitable that you will suffer.

"It's just that it can't be too ugly, is that girl's birth okay?"

Seeing Lin Yanran's words, Lin Siyu couldn't help but smile and said: "Pray for the wind to say that, is it possible that I can really not look at my appearance?" Don't worry, he is a gentle character, and he is not bad." ”

For Lin Qifeng's matter, Lin Siyu didn't worry a lot, and he deliberately went to someone to inquire before, and he looked at each other again, and confirmed that the girl's temperament was really good, so he put his mind at ease. If there was one bad thing at the beginning, the two would not have come to the point of merging.

Hearing this, Lin Yanran couldn't help but smile and said: "In the end, it's the only boy in our family, can I not care? Now that he can settle down, I can also have a heart." ”

"I know. ”

Lin Siyu patted her hand and smiled. Although Lin Yanran didn't say it explicitly, she understood.

It's just that there is one sentence that Lin Siyu didn't say, although Lin Qifeng agreed to get married, but she always looked at it in her heart, and this child's heart was ......

I'm afraid I'm still thinking about Shi Miaoyu.

Now, she only hopes that after this child gets married, she can forget those thoughts that shouldn't be there and look forward. After all, this girl from the Qin family is a good one, and she only hopes that this young couple can be harmonious after they get married.

......

Shi Miaoyu didn't know these things, she took Yue Qiguang all the way along the garden towards the backyard, and after walking a few steps, she saw Lin Qifeng.

With his back to the sun, he was watering the herbs, his gaze gentle and focused.

Before Shi Miaoyu could speak, she heard Yue Qiguang ask in a milky voice, "Sister, why don't you leave?"

When he saw Lin Qifeng, Shi Miaoyu subconsciously stopped, a little surprised. Could it be that her cousin is interested in herbs again?

At this time, when Yue Qiguang asked, Shi Miaoyu suddenly came back to his senses, and just wanted to speak, he saw Lin Qifeng also raised his head and looked at his side.

"Cousin, you're here. ”

Lin Qifeng hadn't heard the footsteps behind him before, but he was startled by the child's voice at this time, and when he turned around, he saw Shi Miaoyu.

After months of not seeing her, she is still as bright as ever. Not only that, the previous flamboyance only belonged to the girl, but now it is a little more charming for the daughter's family.

Hearing Lin Qifeng greet him, Shi Miaoyu adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "Well, come over and play for a while with peace, you didn't disturb your cousin, right?"

"No, I didn't. ”

Lin Qifeng said, glanced at the dirt on his hands again, and said, "I went to clean my hands, and you sit." ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Shi Miaoyu didn't pay attention to it, and took Yue Qiguang to play next to him.

There is a swing here, which was specially given to Yue Qiguang to sit on, and the little guy obediently climbed up and asked Shi Miaoyu to help him push the swing, and his white and tender little face was full of satisfaction.

Seeing him like this, Shi Miaoyu couldn't help but smile, pushing the swing for him while talking to him.
