When Zhang Guifei died, it was at the beginning of June of the first year of Zhihe, a full five months away from the original plot.

There is no "Beijing division cold, the people freeze to death, and the concubine is infected with the epidemic", only the showers that just fell last night and the thunder that resounded through the world at dawn, mixed in the ten miles and eight lanes of Bianjing City, between the Xiangfang market, and the hazy rain and fog on the river bank, painted a rich and colorful Bianjing Fu.

The death knell rang for a long time, and the tabloids flew into the land of China like snowflakes......

Xin Yi listened to Hongyu's colorful talk about the outside discussion, and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, waiting for Xingyuan to groom her.

Gao Minglou came in at this time, as if with the fishy smell of the Bianhe River in the early morning, and his brows were tightly locked.

"Ayima, there's bad news."

Xin Yi curled the corners of his lips slightly, "What's the news?" ”

Gao Minglou: "I'm afraid your marriage with the king of Guangling County will be postponed......"

Xin Yi asked, "Is it because Zhang Guifei is dead?" ”

Gao Minglou snorted, looked at the supple and gentle woman sitting on the edge of the bed, and tried to see something strange on her face, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to think that this was such bad news, so calm that Gao Minglou couldn't figure it out.

"The letter of the marriage of Dali arrived in Bianjing yesterday, and I should send someone to the Funing Palace, I thought that the emperor would soon issue an order to marry you and the king of Guangling County. Unexpectedly, Zhang Guifei would pass away at this time......"

Xin Yi suddenly laughed.

"The emperor does not treat the funeral of the concubine. Why did my brother think that after the death of the concubine, the official family would ask the subjects to mourn? ”

Gao Minglou was stunned: "I haven't thought about this, it's just that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty favored the Zhang family, and everyone knows it." As soon as the Zhang family dies, it will inevitably ban pleasure and entertainment, and the marriage of the king of Guangling will definitely be delayed in the future......"

Xin Yi nodded quietly.

"That's what my brother said. In this way, there is no need to be anxious, let's wait for the concubine's funeral to pass. ”

Gao Minglou smiled in his voice, as if he was relieved, "It's just that in this way, we will have to live in Bianjing for a few more days." ”

Xin Yi smiled lowly, "Brother gets up early and returns late, and he loves the fat river fish in Bianjing, isn't this just what you want?" ”

Gao Minglou was stunned, seeing that the smile on her face couldn't be faked, he immediately hooked his lips, "I'm also idle, looking for some fun to spend time." ”

Xin Yi: "The Goolan tiles in Bianjing City are unique, my brother should take this opportunity to go out and play more, and fishing is a waste of time." ”

Gao Minglou raised his eyebrows, his arrogant demeanor seemed to have heard some joke, and he snorted coldly, "Ayima thinks that I am like those fat powder men in the Great Song Dynasty, I like hairpins to listen to music, and entertain Qinglou?" ”

Xin Yi coughed lightly twice, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and still looked like he couldn't hold back his smile, "I'll just joke casually, brother doesn't have to take it seriously." ”

After that, without waiting for Gao Minglou to respond, he frowned again, and said worriedly: "This concubine, I don't know what is going to happen in Beijing, my brother should be careful when he goes out fishing, don't get involved in right and wrong......"

A hint of suspicion flashed on Gao Minglou's face, he really couldn't understand this woman, the concern and warmth in her words seemed to be his biological sister, Ren was his hard-hearted heart, and he couldn't help but feel emotional ups and downs when he heard it, as if the softest piece of meat in his heart had been poked.

"Okay."

Gao Minglou's pace became much slower as he left.

Walked to the door and turned back again.

"The funeral of the concubine, the envoys will be invited to watch the ceremony, and you will go with me when the time comes."

Xin Yi groped his way from the edge of the bed and slowly got up, and bowed to Gao Minglou in a proper manner.

"Everything is arranged by my brother, and no matter what my brother does, it is for my good."

Gao Minglou nodded and left in a hurry.

A cold sweat inexplicably appeared on his back, and the sentence "I'm not that good" stuck in his throat, like coals in the stove, scorched his nerves, and he didn't even dare to look into the eyes of a blind man.

On a rainy day, the room is dimly lit.

Xin Yi remained motionless until the footsteps faded away, and then he let out a faint breath.

When people live in the world, they are fighting for acting. This scene depends on her or Gao Minglou, which one plays well.

"Green calyx." Xin Yi said softly, "Let's go out for a walk too." ”

Green Calyx said uneasily: "Is the girl going to the pharmacy again?" ”

Xin Yi groaned, "Walk around." If you happen to pass by Mahang Street, it is also good to take a medicated bath at their house. I've been much more relaxed in the past two days, and I think it's the credit of their medicated bath, I should really call my brother and let him soak in it to get rid of dampness. ”

She said it seriously, and the suspicion and nervousness of the green calyx dissipated again.

"It doesn't matter if you go to the young master of the medicine shop, but don't go to the side of the royal street, the murderers in the original Fan Lou case have not been caught, who knows if they will come out to do evil."

Xin Yi smiled lightly, "It's all up to you." ”

The green calyx ear itched.

Why is it that the more well-behaved and obedient this girl is, the more strange she feels, and she feels that a great disaster is coming? I don't know if she should tell the young master this delusion......

Xiangluan Pavilion.

Zhou Yiliu was copiing "The Female Ring" in front of the case with a big belly, and was writing "endure humiliation and dirt, and always be afraid", and the door of the palace opened, bringing out a cool breeze on a rainy day.

The girl Xiuyin walked in and said distressedly: "It's so dark in the house, don't burn your eyes." Take a break. ”

Zhou Yiliu smiled: "I just have nothing to do, and it's good to practice calligraphy." When I was young, I didn't have a chance at home, but now isn't it just right? ”

Xiuyin frowned, "The lady is also very generous. ”

She craned her neck and looked at Zhou Yiliu's upright handwriting, as if she really hadn't been affected in the slightest by Zhang Xueyi's death, and she admired and sighed.

"I heard from the aunt who delivered the water that the official family mourned and couldn't sit still for a long time in the Huining Palace, and told him over and over again about his loving past with the concubine...... In order to cater to the official family, the stone escort class actually proposed to use the queen's ceremony to treat Zhang Guifei's funeral, isn't this just in the hands of the official family? Unexpectedly, a group of people echoed and didn't say anything, and even Prime Minister Chen responded to the ......"

The Queen's Rite? Zhou Yiliu's fingers stiffened slightly. She knows that the official family treats Zhang Xueyi well, but Cao Yuzhen is still alive. The queen is not dead, and the concubine will be buried in the future, that is, it will be a solid slap in the face to Cao Yuqing, such a ridiculous thing is unheard of, and I don't even dare to think about it......

Zhou Yiliu sighed lowly, fed the tip of the pen with ink, and lowered his head again to copy carefully.

Xiuyin was anxious, "Isn't the lady angry?" ”

Zhou Yiliu curled her lips, "Queen Cao is not angry, what is there to be angry with a little lady who doesn't even have a name?" Besides, what's the use of being angry? ”

The status is humble, and there is no one in the court. Even if she is pregnant with the imperial heir, she has not become more noble, where is her turn to speak?

Of course, from a selfish point of view, Zhou Yiliu doesn't like to deal with dead people very much, doesn't that Cao Yuzhen like to help Dali's daughter deal with her? Zhou Yiliu was extremely looking forward to Cao Yuqing's expression when she got the news.

It's a pity that she was grounded in Xiangluan Pavilion and couldn't see this excitement.

She smiled and shook her head, gently brushing the strands of hair from her sideburns, "Don't worry about things we shouldn't worry about. With this leisure, you might as well think about what to eat at night...... When the funeral is arranged, if you want to mourn for the concubine, there will be no good things to use. ”

Xiuyin has always been competitive and competitive, and she has great expectations for Zhou Yiliu, who is pregnant with the imperial heir, and she is a little frustrated when she hears it.

"The lady is pregnant with the little prince, no matter how ruthless the official family is, they can't deduct the food ...... Xiangluan Pavilion."

Zhou Yiliu glanced at him, with a cool smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then we have to give birth to a little prince."

Xiuyin shut up, and her eyes subconsciously fell on Zhou Yiliu's lower abdomen.

The servants follow their masters, and Zhou Yiliu's glory and wealth are their glory and wealth. Xiuyin didn't dare to think about what would happen to Zhou Yiliu if she gave birth to a princess, or died early at birth like other princes and princesses......

"Lady ......"

Listening to Xiuyin's crying, Zhou Yiliu frowned and raised his head.

"What are you doing with a face, I don't know if you think you're crying for Concubine Zhang? Last time, I accidentally landed on the road, and I won't be in the future...... Look, I'll be able to give birth to a healthy little prince. ”

Xiuyin looked at her treacherous voice and was stunned.

Zhou Yiliu smiled softly and put down the pen, "My little prince is hungry, why don't you go get some food." Oh yes......"

At the moment when Xiuyin turned around, Zhou Yiliu stopped her.

"The spy Bai Xiaosheng that Xiuqin said is very interesting."

"Lady, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not credible......"

Zhou Yiliu pursed her lips and smiled, "Give me ten taels of gold, and ask if there is a way to protect my son in the world?" ”

"Huh?! Lady ......"

Zhou Yiliu ignored Xiuyin's shock and smiled faintly.

"Send another letter to the eldest princess's mansion, and say that my aunt thinks about one and two thoughts, and wants to bring them to the palace to meet."

·

In the past few days, the smoke and rain in Bianjing have continued, deepening Zhao Zhen's worries about the death of Zhang Guifei.

As soon as Zhang Xueyi was mentioned, the emperor burst into tears, and he was determined to treat Zhang Guifei's funeral with the queen's ceremony.

Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong, Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi Wang Gongchen, Zhizhi Wang Zhu and others either seconded the proposal or remained silent, and at present, only Vice Minister Liang Shi, Privy Deputy Envoy Sun Wei and others have repeatedly opposed this absurd move that does not conform to the etiquette and law on the grounds that "the imperial ceremony cannot cure the funeral of the concubine".

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen simply claimed angrily, "Then I will posthumously crown her as the queen." You say it's not in accordance with the law of etiquette, if she is posthumously crowned queen, isn't it legal to be courteous? ”

This news also reached the ears of the eldest princess.

Several Taiwanese officials were dry-mouthed, and Zhao Zhen was bent on going his own way, so they had to come to the eldest princess and ask her to intervene.

The eldest princess also felt that this matter was ridiculous, Zhang Xue was also alive, and the emperor spoiled her so much that she didn't know how thick the sky was, and now that everyone is dead, she has to turn the court upside down for her.

"Change your clothes and go to the palace."

The eldest princess sighed secretly, called the girl, thought about it and said, "Go and bring the first and second thoughts over and enter the palace with me." ”
