Chapter 468 National Mourning
During the national mourning period.
All banquets and weddings are prohibited.
All the royal relatives and important court officials went to mourn.
Only Miaomiao's family is the most idle.
Because banquets were banned, Yipinju's business was bleak.
The family has a few days of leisure.
After getting the result, Shen Zhaoyi left the capital under the arrangement of her brother.
Before leaving, Chen Lu took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Miao Miao: "Little Princess, I, Chen Lu, owe you a favor. I will give you this as proof. If you need me in the future, just bring this to me."
Miaomiao wanted to say that it wasn't her who saved the man, but before she could open her mouth, the man turned and left.
Look up at A Niang.
"You keep it for yourself." Lu Qingyao picked it up, took a look at it, and put it back in her daughter's hands.
General Shen might not be unaware that Zhaoyi Shen was indebted to Princess Yuqing, and he also saw how much the princess cherished Miaomiao.
That's why I gave her this jade pendant.
Never mind, just take it first.
This man is the future Duke of Shen and the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. His promise carries great weight.
Send Shen Zhaoyi away.
Lu Yuan returned to calm.
Lu Qingyao began to prepare items for her son's imperial examination.
Xiuxiu started to study recipes. Since we have been eating vegetarian food at home these days, vegetarian dishes can be made into different styles.
I've been away for half a year, and look how hungry these kids are, they've all become thinner.
Instead, it made Lord Mu fat.
After lunch, Miaomiao began to teach Xiaoyuer calligraphy.
I never thought that one day I would have to teach children calligraphy and endure the same hardships that my brothers had to endure.
It’s not easy.
She looked at the little guy who was diligently scrawling characters on paper and whispered to her second brother, "Brother, if Uncle Crown Prince becomes the emperor, then Yu'er will be the crown prince, right?"
"He is the only son of the new emperor. Logically, he should be the crown prince, but he has not been canonized yet." Jiang Ziyan rested his chin on his hand, looking at the little guy who was concentrating on writing.
At this age, you probably don't know anything.
It is unknown whether the position of crown prince will fall on him or King Jing.
The new emperor's health could not bear it at all, so the regent Cui Xiang was assisting him these days.
Everyone knows what the Empress Dowager is thinking.
It depends on what the new emperor chooses.
He was a little worried.
Power changes a person.
I have known King Jing for many years, but I can't really see through him at all. I always feel that he hides things much deeper than what appears.
Unfathomable.
Prince Jing didn't want to fight, and the Empress Dowager probably wouldn't agree either.
Jiang Ziyan was a little worried about Yu'er's safety, so he told Xi'er and Liuyun, "Please keep an eye on the two little ones while I'm away on the scientific expedition."
It's not that he judges others by his own standards.
But it’s a royal matter, it’s really hard to say.
You must always be on guard against others.
"Second brother, why hasn't the emperor uncle come to pick up Yu'er yet?" Miaomiao was very curious.
Even if this child is not the crown prince, he is probably the future crown prince.
Logically, she should be taken back and surrounded by servants to serve her, but the emperor uncle can rest assured by just leaving her home.
Don't rush to take it back, there is only one possibility.
The emperor uncle had no intention of making Yu'er the crown prince.
According to the plot in the dream, King Jing's uncle will become the crown prince. Although the details are different, the general direction should not change.
It’s not that she wanted Yu’er to leave, she was just purely curious.
Xiao Yuer didn't hear anything else, but she did hear the words "take him away". She raised her head and looked at Miaomiao with tears in her eyes.
She said in a baby voice, "I don't want to go to the palace. Doesn't my sister like me anymore?"
Well!
Miaomiao smiled awkwardly: "No, I was just joking. Sister likes you so much, I wish you were by my side every day."
Normally, others coax her, but now she has to coax the children too.
Things change, luckily the little guy is a good brother.
No need to worry.
If a boy is naughty, it's okay to give him a spanking.
After hearing this, the little guy laughed so hard that his teeth showed.
He continued to concentrate on drawing talismans.
…
The emperor's grandfather died just like that.
Miaomiao felt a little sad when she heard it.
They had known each other for a short time, not too long or too short, they hadn't even recognized each other yet, but they got along quite well, and he loved to give her treasures as rewards.
The little old man with a kind face but a lot of calculations in his mind was lying in the coffin in the blink of an eye.
Jiujiu said that he was shot by an arrow and took a lot of pills, and he was bleeding from all seven orifices.
I told you not to eat it, it’s poisonous, but you didn’t believe me. You’re courting death!
But the death was so sudden.
She hadn't told him her life story yet, and she didn't know that her father was his most trusted minister.
It's a bit regrettable.
But then I thought, it’s better not to know, otherwise I might be poisoned to death or angry to death.
There will always be some regrets in life.
Miaomiao thought for a moment and asked her second brother, "Brother, do you think I need to go to the palace or mourn?"
"Do you want to go?"
Miaomiao shook her head: "I heard that I have to kneel for a long time. I don't think I can do it. My knees hurt."
"Then don't go. The princess didn't say you can go. If you want to pay your respects, you can ask the princess to take you and Yu'er to the imperial mausoleum another day, or you can go to the courtyard to burn some paper ingots. It's the same thing. As long as your intention is there." Jiang Ziyan stroked his sister's head.
The emperor's funeral was extremely grand, with complicated rituals and many opera performances.
It's definitely not suitable for children.
I didn't go to pay my respects, I just went to watch a play.
Princess Yuqing probably has no time to care about her right now.
Miaomiao thought for a moment and said, "Brother, do I have to be a vegetarian these days?"
Jiang Ziyan scratched the tip of his nose: "Your grandfather is dead, and you still want to eat."
Miaomiao smiled sweetly: "I actually want to ask, how long will the national mourning last? When can Big Brother and Sister Yuan get married? If Mother and Godfather get married, when can she? And Princess Mother and Father..."
Jiang Ziyan: ...
"You're so young, yet you worry so much."
"I'm just curious." Miaomiao pulled her second brother's arm and acted coquettishly. She was too lazy to use her brain now. She felt that her second brother was more useful than Baidu.
omniscient.
Jiang Ziyan: "Theoretically, it's three years..."
"So long! Isn't Yipinju going to lose everything?"
"Listen to me." Jiang Ziyan stuffed a walnut kernel into his sister's mouth and continued, "Theoretically, it's three years, but the common people usually use the method of replacing days with months to shorten the mourning period to thirty-six days. The ban is lifted in a month or so, so the first-class residents won't lose out. However, high-ranking officials, nobles, and royal relatives have to mourn longer, ranging from half a year to a year, or even three years."
"It really takes that long!" Miaomiao opened her mouth wide and looked at her second brother: "Is the border emergency true? When will big brother come back?"
"Did you eavesdrop on Auntie Xiuxiu's conversation again? Be careful or she might beat you up."
Miaomiao was hit on the head.
"No."
There was no need to eavesdrop, Miaomiao smiled without saying anything.
Jiang Ziyan smiled and said, "It's fake, it's to deceive King Chen."
