Shan Quan also said just now that the Crown Princess and Concubine Jing had just set off, and now they have arrived. It seems that they are really fast enough.
"Okay, I'll be right over." Xie Yao shouted outside, glanced at herself in the mirror, and saw that her makeup was almost ready, so she got up and walked out.
At the mourning hall, the Crown Princess had already arrived. Her old eyes were filled with tears. She had been crying all the way.
The Crown Princess looked around, but did not see Xie Yao's shadow. She asked in a deep voice with some displeasure: "Where is Princess Han?"
"Please report to the Crown Princess, the Princess will be here soon." The servant did not dare to lie and reported quickly.
The imperial concubine was even more dissatisfied. She turned her head to the concubine beside her and said, "This is your good daughter-in-law! Not to mention that the funeral ceremony of Lao Wu was so simple. It was already time to welcome the guests. She
But no one was seen!"
Concubine Jing looked very haggard, but she still accompanied her warmly, "She worked very hard to find King Han a few days ago. Now she has to handle the funeral ceremony alone, so she must be tired. If she comes out later, she can come out later.
, it’s not easy for her either.”
"Isn't it easy for her?" The Crown Princess glanced at Concubine Jing and thought that today was the day of Chu Han's funeral, so she said nothing more.
Xie Yao arrived at this time and happened to see the dissatisfaction on the face of the Crown Princess. She stepped forward to salute without moving, "I have met the Crown Princess, mother-in-law."
"You made this funeral ceremony too simple." The Crown Princess couldn't see that her grandson had to suffer such injustice even though something unexpected had happened to her, so she was dissatisfied with Xie Yao.
"The Crown Princess taught you a lesson." Xie Yao did not refute, her eyes were light, and when she raised her head, she saw that Concubine Jing looked haggard, which was actually more serious than the previous two times.
During this period of time, there was no news from Chu Han. Concubine Jing was very worried and did not think about food and tea. Naturally, her face looked haggard and pale.
"My mother and concubine should take more rest these days. If my mother and concubine falls ill, the prince will also be sad." She looked at the concubine and persuaded her gently.
Concubine Jing's expression softened slightly, indicating that she was fine, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Xie Yao is well versed in medicine and knows that Concubine Jing's condition is already very bad. "Concubine, it's better for you to be more careful. If you don't sleep well for a long time, you will age faster and your health will get worse."
Hearing the words 'accelerate aging', Concubine Jing's eyes moved a little, but they quickly darkened.
Chu Han is gone, so it doesn't matter whether she is old or not.
At this time, the Crown Princess had already walked into the mourning hall and walked towards Chu Han's coffin.
Xie Yao saw from the corner of her eye that the Crown Princess had gone away, so she lowered her voice and said to the concubine Jing: "Mother and concubine, my daughter-in-law has always believed that the prince is still alive! Therefore, mother and concubine please put your body first, and don't worry about the prince not coming back yet.
You fell down first."
Concubine Jing was startled when she heard this. With strong and complicated emotions in her eyes, she looked deeply at Xie Yao.
Xie Yao nodded solemnly, then turned and entered the mourning hall.
Concubine Jing's eyes have been following Xie Yao, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes.
After all this time, can her son still be alive?
After entering the mourning hall, Xie Yao came to the side of the coffin and looked at the Crown Princess in front of her.
The Crown Princess stretched out a hand and placed it on the coffin, caressing it slowly, as if the coffin was Chu Han, her eyes were red, and she muttered something, "Lao Wu, do you still remember? When you were six years old, you knew about the Ai family.
A man was bored, so he made a slingshot somewhere, looked for birds everywhere in the palace, and shot down everything he saw."
"In the end, you tied dozens of birds to a rope and asked them to dance for the Aijia. At that time, you didn't like to laugh very much, and you acted like a little adult every day, but that time you laughed
It was particularly brilliant, and the Ai family remembers it very clearly!"
"And... when you were nine years old, you were already able to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, so you stopped using a slingshot and shot a wild goose. You had to ask the imperial chef to make it for the Ai family..."
"besides……"
The Crown Princess spoke slowly, touching the coffin with her hand from time to time. Her eyes were always red, and occasionally an old tear would fall down.
Xie Yao stood aside and listened silently.
Unexpectedly, Chu Han was quite filial when he was young. No wonder the Crown Princess’s favorite prince was Chu Han.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside.
Xie Yao looked up and saw Chu Jing and Chu Yue both coming.
Behind Chu Jing was Qi Yuling, and behind Chu Yue was a woman. However, it was not Princess Minghui, but a woman I had never seen before. Moreover, the woman was pregnant. It looked like she was six or seven months pregnant.
.
Chu Yue has not yet gotten married. Where did this pregnant woman with a big belly come from?
Chu Jing saw Xie Yao, the Crown Princess and Concubine Jing from a distance, and walked over directly. He first saluted with Qi Yuling, then walked to the Crown Princess and spoke softly, "
Imperial Grandma, why are you here? Go and have a rest, don’t get tired!"
Seeing this, Qi Yuling directly supported the Crown Princess's arm and said, "Grandma Crown Princess, please come this way."
The Crown Princess was indeed a little tired from standing, so she went to the side to rest.
After Chu Jing settled the princess, he gave Xie Yao a cold look and said nothing, but stood aside.
Chu Yue stepped forward to salute alone, and then walked up to Xie Yao, looking down with a cold and deep look, "Fifth sister-in-law, today is the day of the fifth brother's funeral. As a younger brother, I shouldn't have said
Some trivial matters, but the fifth sister-in-law has repeatedly resisted and refused to hand over the military talisman, and I have no choice."
"Today, since the fifth brother has already held the funeral ceremony, I would also like to ask the fifth sister-in-law to hand over the fifth brother's military talisman to avoid any trouble."
Chu Jing had the opportunity to cheer, "Eighth brother is right! I have found Princess Han several times and want to get the military talisman as soon as possible. I am worried that trouble will occur in Lao Wu's military camp without Lao Wu's control.
, but Princess Han won’t hand it over no matter what! I can only act in a hurry, but there is nothing I can do!”
Xie Yao looked at Chu Jing and Chu Yue with calm eyes, guessing that they would not give up any chance to ask for the military talisman.
However, no one can take Chu Han’s things at will!
Chu Jing saw that Xie Yao's expression was as usual and was not moved at all. He sneered in his heart, and then turned to the Crown Princess with a sincere expression, "Royal Grandmother, now that the fifth child is in trouble, and Princess Han doesn't listen to me as the eldest brother, please still
The royal grandmother came forward in person."
"My grandson believes that Princess Han must listen to the words of the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother must not want there to be turmoil in Lao Wu's military camp!"
After hearing this, the Crown Princess furrowed her old eyebrows and did not speak immediately.
She first glanced at Chu Jing and Chu Yue, then turned to Xie Yao. After hesitating for a while, she slowly said, "Fiveth daughter-in-law, since the fifth daughter-in-law has met with something unexpected, it is useless for you to keep the military talisman, so why not just
