This mistake gave the prince a wake-up call, and he finally took Qin Yuelu's advice seriously.
There must be no mistakes in tomorrow's ancestor worship.
Therefore, when he had a family banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve, he would avoid eating if he could.
Early the next morning, the prince not only did not eat anything, he did not even drink water.
When the auspicious time arrived, the ancestor worship procession set out in a grand manner. The prince was also on time and did not miss anything.
When they arrived at the imperial mausoleum, everyone stopped and dismounted, even the emperor walked forward.
The prince followed the emperor and behaved properly and attentively, never making any mistakes.
After worshipping his ancestors one by one and going through the complicated rituals, the prince was almost dying.
He had consumed too much today and hadn't eaten properly since last night. His pampered stomach had never suffered such abuse, so it protested.
It only took the time of an incense stick from the initial discomfort to the final stomach cramps that caused the prince to fall to the ground and be unable to get up.
After paying homage to Emperor Gaozu, it was time to pay homage to Emperor Zu. Everyone stood up, except the crown prince, who remained kneeling on the ground, his face pale and sweating profusely.
…
Even though he didn't take the laxative and didn't have diarrhea, he still left the imperial tomb early.
It's just the difference between being dragged out and being carried out.
The laxative version says that he was disrespectful to his ancestors, behaved improperly, and brought shame upon himself.
And now it seems to be even more serious, because after this incident, rumors circulated among the people that the royal ancestors did not like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so they did not want to see him appear in front of them during the ancestral worship, which is why he fell seriously ill and was carried out of the imperial mausoleum!
As for who spread this rumor, that's a matter of opinion.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, all married daughters must return to their parents' home on this day, and Qin Qingyao is no exception.
Dugu Yu seemed even more excited than her and got out of bed early.
Since yesterday, Dugu Yu has been busy in the warehouse. He even found the gift list that Qin Qingyao was going to bring back to her parents' home when she returned home three days ago. He wanted to take all the gifts to the Qin family according to the list.
However, this idea was rejected by Qin Qingyao.
"We're not the only ones going back to my parents' home today. We have my eldest sister and her husband as well. If you bring so many gifts back, won't you be offending them? What do you want your eldest and second brothers-in-law to think?"
Dugu Yu really couldn't care less what others thought, but it didn't matter if Qin Qingyao disagreed. Whatever she said or did was right.
He is indeed not good at this kind of social etiquette, but he is slowly learning it.
The fastest way to put your knowledge into practice is to send red envelopes.
Before the Chinese New Year, Qin Qingyao exchanged a lot of loose silver and small silver notes, ranging from five taels to ten taels.
Early in the morning on New Year's Day, she gave New Year's red envelopes to all the servants.
So Dugu Yu decided to follow suit and give red envelopes to the Qin family's servants.
After the two arrived at the Qin family, the doorman and servant came out to greet them from a distance, calling them "son-in-law" all the time, and Dugu Yu rewarded them with ten taels of silver.
Although Qin Qingyao had reduced the number of gifts to try to be low-key, they still brought back the most gifts. There was nothing she could do about it, since their prince was so rich.
As long as the Qin family servants came to greet the two of them, Dugu Yu would give them money. Everyone who saw the money got a share. He was simply a walking money-giving boy.
Soon the news spread among the Qin family's servants, and everyone tried every means to show up in front of Dugu Yu to receive the reward money.
As more and more people received the money, they figured out a pattern: anyone who called him "son-in-law" would get ten taels, while anyone who called him "prince" would only get five taels.
Logically speaking, it is polite to address someone by his or her most noble status.
The status of King Wu Ling is at least a hundred times more noble than that of the Shangshu's son-in-law, but no matter how noble it is, it cannot stop the prince from being happy.
From that day on, no one in the entire Qin Mansion called Dugu Yu "Prince". Instead, everyone called him "Brother-in-law". Dugu Yu was very satisfied with this.
She had come here happily, but when it was time to eat, Qin's second sister-in-law didn't come to the table. Qin Qingyao asked about it, and her mother said, "Your second brother has a severe cold and can't get out of bed. Your second sister-in-law is serving him by his bedside."
"Second brother is sick? What happened?"
Minister Qin sighed. Originally, this kind of royal struggle should not be told to a girl like her, but Dugu Yu was also present, so Minister Qin did not hide it.
In short, someone locked Qin Yuelu in the library for a whole night in order to plot against the prince. It was freezing cold and he had nothing to eat or drink, so he became extremely ill.
Qin Qingyao was struck by lightning after hearing this. The prince still couldn't escape this disaster, but her second brother fell seriously ill. Is this a punishment for her arbitrary interference in the plot?
The last time Dugu Yu and she helped Lu Qifeng together, Yuan Yixiao almost became obsessed with Dugu Yu.
This time, her second brother helped the prince with her, and her second brother fell ill.
This is too fucking scary!
Dugu Yu did not tell Qin Qingyao about the prince's mistake. Firstly, after returning home, he happily prepared for the New Year with his wife and really forgot about it. Secondly, he really did not want to mention the prince in front of Qin Qingyao.
Qin Qingyao has helped him several times, but he still made mistakes. What does this mean?
This means that the idiot is not worth his wife's time and attention!
But he really didn't know that Qin Yuelu was ill in advance.
Qin Qingyao felt that it was all her fault that her second brother died, and despite her family's objections, she ran to Qin Yuelu's bedside.
Qin Yuelu's fever had subsided by now, but he looked very weak. He hadn't eaten anything except medicine in the past two days. This year had been really terrible.
What's even worse is that when Qin Yuelu learned that the prince had been tricked, he felt very guilty and blamed himself. He felt that it was because of his lack of attention to time that the prince had missed the important matter.
I don’t know if this can be considered blind loyalty, but Qin Qingyao doesn’t like his idea anyway.
"It was clearly the Crown Prince who got you into trouble. Why are you blaming yourself? I've never seen such a hopeless person!"
Dugu Yu: It’s good that you know he is a hopeless case!
Qin Yuelu: "Sister, you must not speak ill of the Crown Prince like this. This is treasonous!"
Qin Qingyao looked like she was admitting her mistake obediently, but she was rolling her eyes in her heart.
"Okay, I'm fine now. You and the prince should leave quickly and stop being sick."
He said it was nothing serious, but also said he was afraid of getting sick. I really don’t know whether he is recovered or not!
Qin Qingyao knew that Qin Yuelu was very strict with his rules, and he felt very nervous and couldn't rest well with Dugu Yu present, so he had to take his husband and leave his room first.
Once he left the yard, he stopped pretending to be well behaved and had an angry little face that was very tense.
If the prince dared to appear in front of her at this moment, she was really afraid that she would not be able to resist rushing up and scratching his face!
Dugu Yu was very unhappy. He felt that Qin Qingyao cared too much about the prince.
"Why are you always worried about him? Look, even if you help him, he won't listen to you."
Do you think everyone is as obedient as your husband?
"Don't be angry."
Qin Qingyao, "I'm not mad at him for not listening to me!"
I was so angry that I felt like a plague god. I made my second brother sick!
"Forget it, forget it. Today is a good day. Let's go find our parents and settle the score with him later!"
According to the original plot, there are three stages in the prince's dethronement.
The first stage was when the southern region was hit by floods. Not only did he fail to come up with any solutions, he also exposed his own ignorance and stupidity, and the fact that he did not care about people's livelihood issues at all, which made him lose the support of the people.
The second step was that during the New Year, the heaven sacrifice made all the officials disappointed in him, and the ancestor sacrifice made the emperor extremely disgusted with him.
The third step is not far away, it will be at the palace banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month where the emperor entertains his ministers!
Qin Qingyao tried her best to help the first two times, but the result was the same.
The third time, Qin Qingyao didn't know whether she should help, or whether she could help, and she didn't know who would be implicated if she helped him this time.
But if I don't help him, he will really be ruined. How proud will that bastard Ling Jingxuan be?
If everything went according to the original plot, Ling Jingxuan would be one step closer to the throne, and Dugu Yu would be one step closer to death.
Qin Qingyao felt a pain in her heart when she thought of this, and she shuddered all over.
She must help the prince, the prince must not be deposed!
She would never let Ling Jingxuan succeed!
Qin Qingyao made up her mind, but this time she didn't want to implicate anyone, so she decided to take action herself!
If she thought about it carefully, she met Ling Jingxuan on the second day after she came to this world, but until now, she had never greeted or spoken to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince face to face!
Dugu Yu was a lonely family with few relatives, and Qin Qingyao, as a married daughter, did not need to visit Qin's relatives, so they basically did not need to go out to visit relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year.
But they had to go to the Yang Mansion, so early in the morning on the third day of the New Year, they prepared gifts and went to visit the old lady.
The old lady of the Yang family probably knew when they would come, so she started preparing at home early.
He dressed smartly, wearing bright and formal clothes.
General Yang didn't have any thoughts. He was happy to see that his grandmother was in a good mood.
But Madam Yang still felt unhappy.
She couldn't understand why her old lady always liked to turn her elbow outward?
I've never seen her be so loving and caring towards her own grandson and grandson's wife. Instead, she wants to pamper the couple from Prince Wuling's Mansion to the sky!
Before the New Year, he went up the mountain to worship Buddha and prayed to Guanyin for fertility and a peace amulet for Princess Wuling.
You really don't care about your own business. Even if Qin Qingyao gave birth to a child, her surname is Dugu, not Yang. What does it have to do with you? Is it your turn to be so active?
Although she was complaining endlessly in her heart, the eldest lady did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on her face.
I just secretly hate Lin Xiafeng and Princess Anli for not being good enough. Why didn't they capture Prince Wu Ling and make him a concubine or a noble concubine in the palace to make things difficult for Qin Qingyao!
When the fire broke out in the backyard of Prince Wu Ling's mansion and she was busy taking care of herself, she had no time to come to the Yang family to cause trouble, so she came to act cute in front of the old lady!
