On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Xu Beiyou entered the palace according to the routine, and did not go to Weiyang Palace and Ganquan Palace, but went to Feishuang Palace.

At this time, the Flying Frost Hall was full of vegetarian food, and a group of clans and ministers were dressed in white cloth and linen clothes to keep vigil here.

After returning to Beijing, His Majesty the Emperor did not conceal the news of the death of the queen mother, and issued an edict to the world on the next day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, which was set as a national funeral, and Xiao Maha, the king of Lingwu County, was the prime minister of funeral. Slaughter is forbidden for 49 days, music and sacrifices are stopped for 100 days, and marriage is stopped for 100 days.

According to the laws of the Great Qi, when the wife dies, the husband does not wear filial piety clothes, but His Majesty the Emperor is the same as the hundred officials, all of whom are dressed in mourning clothes and drop out of the court for nine days after the Great Dynasty meeting. At the same time, the same is true of all the clans, following the system of changing days and months, and serving for twenty-seven days.

Xu Beiyou, as a son-in-law, was counted in the clan, and after entering the Flying Frost Hall in mourning clothes, he first went to worship in front of the spirit, and then found the eldest aunt Moshu, who was also dressed in linen and filial piety, and asked: "Auntie, where is the princess?"

Mo Shu replied: "Back to the emperor's son-in-law, Her Royal Highness the princess has been in front of the spirit for a day and a night, and when Her Majesty came over just now, she was specially ordered to go to the side hall to rest. ”

Xu Beiyou thanked him and walked in the direction of the side hall.

At this time, the civil and military officials entered the condolence salute in turn, so the Feishuang Hall was very lively, Xu Beiyou traveled all the way, and the voice of "Xiaoge Lao" was endless, and he could only smile wordlessly.

Finally came to the door of the side hall, fortunately, except for a few palace maids, there were no other foreign ministers, and finally it was a little quieter.

Xu Beiyou pushed the door in, and saw Xiao Zhinan sitting on the couch in a daze, because Queen Xu was actually ascending with the first emperor, it was a blessing in misfortune, Xiao Zhinan was not as sad as before, but this farewell was also a farewell, at this time she was still a little speechless and sad, her eyes were red, and tears were vaguely visible on her face.

Hearing the sound of the door, Xiao Zhinan subconsciously wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and sat upright.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "It's me." ”

Xiao Zhinan hummed in a low voice and asked, "Are you done with your errand?"

Xu Beiyou sat next to Xiao Zhinan and said, "Yesterday, I ran a few yamen in a row, but no one dared to embarrass me, it was quite smooth." ”

Xiao Zhinan hummed again.

Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, and comforted him in a loud voice: "Don't be too sad, the queen mother followed the first emperor to the heavens, as long as we can achieve the realm of immortality, we can still meet again in the future." ”

Xiao Zhinan did not answer.

Although she suddenly had the realm cultivation of the twelfth floor of the Earth Immortal, she did not have the consciousness of the Earth Immortal Great Cultivator, in her opinion, what kind of Dao ascension was too far away, so far that she didn't even think about it.

Xu Beiyou saw that she didn't talk, and she didn't force it, but she just talked to herself about a lot of common things and temple things, among which temple things were the majority, just today, the Duanmu prince who once rode the "heavenly horse" to Danxia Village, the Duanmu prince who had put Xu Beiyou to death several times, the Duanmu prince who almost became the third emperor of Daqi, committed suicide in the edict of the Secret Guard Mansion, and the body stopped at the punishment department, just waiting for the autopsy to confirm that it was really just suicide, and then it will be buried for peace.

When Xiao Zhinan heard this, he was slightly stunned, then shook his head and sighed lightly: "I knew today, why bother in the first place." ”

There was silence between the two for a long time, and Xiao Zhinan suddenly asked, "What do you think of Xiao Jin, King of Wei?"

Xu Beiyou thought about it for a while and said bluntly: "This His Royal Highness the King of Wei is far-sighted and has superb means, just in terms of strategy, I am afraid that Taishi Lan and his father-in-law are not his opponents. ”

Xiao Zhinan sighed: "That's why he wants to be the emperor, and for thirty years he has begged for a white crown, and the word 'king' is added to the top of a white color, isn't it just the word 'emperor'." ”

Xiao Zhinan said worriedly: "This time the King of Wei has lost a lot of manpower, but it is not a matter of breaking the muscles and bones, and if the Wei State is not eliminated for a day, it will always be a sharp sword hanging over the head of the imperial court." ”

Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, the word Huaiyu, called himself a whale angler in the East China Sea, the world called him an immortal, and Wanyan Beiyue said that he was famous for his unpredictable prophet, and the leader of the Zhanyan faction, Qingchen, was equally famous, such a character, no matter who was right, he would feel very tricky.

Of course, such a character will never be subservient to others, even if it is for a while, but as long as he finds an opportunity, he will immediately turn against the guest, and it is no wonder that Emperor Xiao wanted to exile him to Wei back then, although this move is suspected of letting the tiger return to the mountain, but if he is left in the temple, I don't know how much storm it will set off.

Xiao Zhinan looked outside the palace gate and said slowly: "The grassland reckless man is not to worry, the one who really needs to be wary of is the King of Wei. ”

Xiao Zhinan at this moment made Xu Beiyou feel a little strange, at this time she is not like a gentle and virtuous wife on weekdays, but more in line with the identity of the princess of Daqi.

After all, she is also surnamed Xiao, and she has Xiao's blood in her bones.

After Xiao Zhinan retracted his gaze, he turned back to the soft-spoken Zhinan, and said softly, "When will you go back to Jiangnan?"

Xu Beiyou said: "After the first lunar month, will you go?"

Xiao Zhinan asked, "Will I go too?" Aren't you afraid that your junior sister will be unhappy?"

Xu Beiyou said a little helplessly: "What's upset about her, you are her sister-in-law." ”

Xiao Zhinan played with the taste: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, there have always been a lot of rumors about Xu Gongzi and Yu Meiren in Jiangdu." ”

Xu Beiyou became more and more helpless, "It is rumored that this kind of thing has always been chasing after the wind, and it is not believable." ”

Xiao Zhinan took a deep look at her husband, and then her eyes narrowed, like a crescent moon, "Pretend, you will continue to pretend, Nangui, you touch your conscience and say, haven't you moved a little bit of a mind that you shouldn't have?" After all, she is a beautiful woman, let you pick it up, you will be tempted if you are a man, right?"

Xu Beiyou said completely helplessly: "I will either admit that I am tempted, or I will admit that I am not a man?"

Xiao Zhinan smiled and asked, "How do you plan to choose?"

Xu Beiyou looked at the nose and nose and the heart, adhering to the mentality that a thousand words are not as good as a silence, and began to practice closed-mouth meditation.

Xiao Zhinan no longer dwelled on this topic, and sighed softly: "If you go to Jiangnan, maybe you will have to intersect with that uncle." ”

Xu Beiyou was slightly stunned, then fell into deep thought, and when he was about to speak, Moshu knocked lightly outside the door, "Your Highness, the time has come." ”

Xiao Zhinan got up from the couch, "Okay, I have to continue to wake the queen mother's spirit, you go home first later, and I will talk about it when I come back in the evening." ”

Xu Beiyou snorted and got up.

The husband and wife left this side hall together, and after going out, Xiao Zhinan straightened the placket of the mourning clothes for Xu Beiyou in front of the palace gate, and then turned around and went to the main hall.

In the imperial city of the imperial capital, whether it is a martial artist or a monk, no one is allowed to fly in the air, this is the rule of the imperial court, and it is also the rule of the great array of the imperial city.

Xu Beiyou didn't go far after landing on the shore, and met another person, barely half an acquaintance, also dressed in mourning clothes, different from Xu Beiyou is only one person with white hair and one person with black hair.

Xu Yi, the king of Xihe County.
