The wind is blowing

As soon as Xiao Jingyan returned to Prince Jing's mansion, Zhan Ying was already waiting at the entrance of the secret passage, apparently also hearing the bell.

"Zhanying, go and wake up Yichen, I will take him into the palace right away."

"Yes."

While Zhanying went to call Yichen, Xiao Jingyan hastily changed himself into plain clothes.

"Father, is Grandma Zeng gone?"

Xiao Yichen almost ran over from his own room along the way, but he was woken up not long after the bell rang.He didn't know exactly what happened without counting how many times the bell struck, but after a while Zhanying came to him and asked him to wear plain clothes, he had a vague feeling in his heart. out of this bad guess.

Seeing Xiao Jingyan at this moment, he was finally able to carefully ask his doubts.

"Ugh……"

Xiao Jingyan sighed, he touched Yichen's head and said:

"You're right. Grandma always loves the children the most. Back then, the king was protected by her. The next month may be a bit hard. Just try your best. Don't hold on."

"Yes……"

Yichen replied in a low voice, he liked this Grandma Zeng very much.

He still remembered that every year during Chinese New Year, the other party would give him a big red envelope.Although Mrs. Zeng's memory is not very good, but every time she sees him, she likes to hug him and never let go. Who would have thought that she would leave without a sound like this.

Xiao Jingyan took his hand and walked out of the mansion. After Yichen climbed into the carriage, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to Zhanying who was following him:

"Zhanying, the news of grandma's death may not be long before it reaches Yunnan, and Princess Nihuang will definitely come to the capital as soon as possible. At that time, you can help me to send a message to Prince Mu's Mansion, and ask her if she is free. Go to the Su residence and take a look at Mr. Su."

"Yes."

Seeing that he agreed, Xiao Jingyan also climbed into the carriage.The guard driving the carriage yelled, and the carriage creaked towards the direction of the palace.

Zhan Ying returned to the mansion after watching the carriage go away in place. He didn't know Mei Changsu's real identity, but he actually didn't quite understand what His Royal Highness ordered him just now.

In his opinion, this Mr. Su is an outsider after all, why does His Highness entrust Princess Nihuang to take care of Mr. Su?

Forget it, don't think about it if you don't understand it, Fangzheng can just listen to His Highness.If the Empress Dowager is gone, His Royal Highness may not be able to return to the mansion for a month. He must take good care of all the big and small things in Prince Jing's mansion.

The death of the Empress Dowager is actually not a surprise.She is old, her sanity has not been clear for many years, her body is also not strong and strong, the Ministry of Rituals has already made some preparations for the funeral in advance, and everything is well-established, so the funeral matters are also arranged. Sure, he didn't appear flustered because he had just changed the Minister of Rites a few years ago.

After the sound of the great mourning sound, the entire Daliang immediately entered the period of national mourning.The emperor observed filial piety for [-] days according to the rituals of the Liang Dynasty, the imperial family followed the sacrifices, and all officials above the third rank entered the palace to perform their ceremonies, and the whole country banned music banquets for three years.

At the same time, this incident also brought several additional consequences.First of all, Xie Yu's original sentence of beheading was not executed because of the national mourning, but the sentence was changed to exile to Qianzhou. He set off two months later.

Secondly, the previously agreed marriage between Liang and Chu was also suspended, and the marriage contract was only postponed, and the marriage could only be given off three years later.

Da Chu's initiative to propose marriage this time was originally for the purpose of forming a good relationship and freeing up his hands to pacify the Burmese and Yi. Said, ready to return home after condolences.

The party struggle that was going on in full swing also temporarily stopped amidst the bells of the great funeral. During the 30-day vigil, all the princes had to stay in the palace, not allowed to return home, not allowed to take a bath, sleepy with no beds, no smelly food, knelt at the spirits every day, and cried in the morning and evening.

How could the pampered prince and King Yu bear this hardship? At first they were still holding on, but later they gradually couldn't. As long as Emperor Liang was away, the sadness on their faces would more or less lessen. Will do some small actions against the rules to please the master.

For example, right now, since meat and fish are not allowed during the mourning period, those simple vegetarian meals can't satisfy the hunger. After kneeling for a long time, the prince and Yuwang are already hungry.

King Yu couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch his faintly twitching stomach. While feeling uncomfortable, he also didn't forget to glance at the prince who was kneeling on his right.Unexpectedly, this glance made him realize that at some point the prince actually took out some pastries from his sleeve and began to eat them secretly.

As soon as the prince took a bite, he found that his actions were spotted by King Yu.In line with the idea that everyone will make mistakes together, and when there is a problem, we will also bear it together, the prince also handed the handkerchief wrapped with the pastry to King Yu.

At first, King Yu turned his head away with a strong backbone, but the hunger in his belly was really uncomfortable, and after turning his head, the prince was still holding his pastry in front of him.Yu Wang, who really couldn't stand the temptation, had no choice but to slowly raise his hand to take a piece, raised his sleeve to cover it, and put it in his mouth.

This filial piety is indeed a bit harsh, if you don't think about it, you may lose half of your life before the vigil period, so your body is the most important thing.Anyway, the two violated the rules together, and no one can sue the other, and none of the ministers who accompanied the sacrifice dared to say anything wrong with them.Thinking of this, King Yu didn't feel any discomfort in his heart.

At the beginning of the two of them, although the other princes were more restrained, they could not help but follow suit.

"Jingyan, eat some."

The third prince, who was kneeling beside Xiao Jingyan, also handed some food to Xiao Jingyan, still persuading him.After these days, he could see the other party's performance, and he really couldn't bear it.

"The funeral is in my heart, I am willing to keep it. Third brother, you are not in good health, you should eat some, grandma won't blame you."

After saying this to the third prince, Xiao Jingyan turned his head to look at Yichen who was kneeling behind him, seeing that he was fine, he turned his head again.

The child knelt down neatly with a small white face. The vigil these days was still a bit difficult for a child like him.

"Yichen, if you can't hold on, go down and rest."

The person who spoke was still the third prince, and now he finally realized that Yichen's character was exactly the same as that of his seventh brother, and what he was sure of was that even nine cows could not be brought back.

Sure enough, regarding the proposal of the third prince, Yichen just shook his head lightly and said:

"Thank you Uncle Sanhuang for your concern, Yichen is fine."

Compared with their adults, the children's rules are not so strict. Except for three meals a day, if they are tired, they can go to the side hall to rest at any time.It's just that apart from going to rest with the other little princes every night, Yichen knelt in the palace meticulously at other times.This kind of filial piety is indeed rare.

Seeing that the father and son could not be persuaded, the third prince could only sigh, silently put away the food in his hands, looked at the spiritual seat of the empress dowager at the top of the hall, and was in a daze for a while.

Because Prince Jing's title is only County King, he seldom stands with the Crown Prince and Prince Yu on grand occasions.At this time, everyone stayed in the same filial piety hall for 30 consecutive days. King Jing's military physique, pure filial piety and courage, mourning and courtesy when guarding the coffin, were meticulous, which was very different from the performance of the princes. It's really good and bad.

There were even a few ministers who noticed the child Yichen, and they were deeply moved for a while.

Mei Changsu performed the [-]-day filial piety in his own room.Both Dr. Yan and Lin Chen knew that this would do great harm to his body, but if he was not allowed to express the grief in his heart, it would be even worse if it accumulated in his heart, so they could only take care of it carefully.

Princess Nihuang and Commander Meng would also come to see Mei Changsu during their free time, and only advised him to look away.Mei Changsu also responded to these words one by one, and the sadness in his heart gradually began to ease with the passage of time.

At the end of the vigil, Quanyi held a big funeral. This elderly queen mother, who had gone through four dynasties and was nearly a hundred years old, was deeply loved by the descendants of her subjects. She was sent to Weiling to be buried with her husband who had passed away more than 40 years before her.The coffin was driven out from Suzaku Avenue in Miyagi, dirges and music were played along the way, and paper money was flying everywhere.

The high-pitched and mournful music could also be clearly heard in Su's house, which was a block away from the main road. Mei Changsu knelt on the porch to salute, his eyes were red, but he did not shed tears.

His health is not good, after a month of torture, it is inevitable that he will get sick.Fortunately, Dr. Yan has been protecting him, and it is not as dangerous as the previous few times. I have a small amount of bleeding, fever, cough, night sweat, and fainting symptoms. When I take a dose of medicine, I can barely suppress them.

The author has something to say:

The content of this chapter was actually thought up by Xiaomo two days ago, but it's just the Chinese New Year holidays, so I really don't like to write this kind of story of life and death.As for Yichen's name for the Empress Dowager, Xiao Mo decided on the name Zengtai Grandma according to his own name, and if anyone disagrees with it, please point it out.The plot in the future may start to change a bit. If you have any good ideas to deal with shrimp paste, you can also share them with Xiaomo.
