Chapter 83: The Countdown to the Great Funeral

At the gate of the Mansion School, Wang Qi and Dao Chi met Mrs. Wang and Wang Zhen's grandparents, and the news they brought shocked Wang Qi.

"Qilang, you will go to the Chengfeng Department starting tomorrow." Mrs. Wang was very angry.

"Honoring the Secretary?" Wang Qi was immediately covered in cold sweat, and his voice was trembling: "Grandpa, eldest brother, even if His Highness has fewer servants... he won't send his grandson to the Chosen Secretary?"

Wang Zhen was stunned, and Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand to give Wang Qi a forehead: "You bastard, that chicken = the chicken is gone, it scares you... It is the princess's wish to let you learn the half-month etiquette from the eunuch Cheng Feng.

, wait until the prince's birthday, and support the sacrifice ceremony with the son-in-law ceremony."

Wang Qi was surprised at first, then blushed and said "hehe" with a silly smile and was speechless.

Mrs. Wang glared at him and said: "Learn the rules well. If you dare to expose yourself to the public, go home and wait on you!"

The Wang family's grandparents did not stay in the palace any longer, and left the palace after giving Wang Qi a few words.

In the Fuxue, Liu Congyun and Lu Wen summoned the chief official, while Chen Chizhong was recovering from his injuries in the house.

Wang Qi was almost dancing for joy. She forced herself back to the house and said to Dao Chi triumphantly: "Erlang, from now on, I really don't have to let Jiang Lin go. If he dares to be arrogant in front of me again, I will be cruel."

Teach him a lesson."

A high-level guest of honor in the palace is half the owner of the palace, and is no less important than Jiang Lin, an in-law.

But he was proud, and when Liu Congyun and Lu Wenzhao came back in the evening, Wang Qi did not show off. He felt a little proud, but also a little embarrassed. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the guest of honor of the palace was just a foodie who relied on his wife to enjoy the honor.

A soft-hearted pretty boy. It is true that he is happy to eat soft-rice, but he is somewhat insufferable in front of his young companions.

In consideration of the fact that Chen Chizhong had been bored in the house all day, everyone moved their chairs out after dinner and talked in the shade in the yard. Even Lu Wenzhao, who had been ignored by everyone, came over shamelessly.

Liu Congyun brought back big news to everyone. The princess ordered her to break Jiang Lin's legs, and only then did everyone find out.

Lu Wenzhao hurriedly said: "Princess Shengming."

Chen Chizhong: "..."

Taoist idiot: "..."

Wang Qi swallowed a mouthful of foam and was shocked. Even though she thought that Jiang Lin might be punished for making a big fuss in the house, she didn't expect that it would be so severe, and the princess personally ordered it. It seemed that the princess was really angry with the Jiang family.

.

The reason why the Jiang family was rampant in the palace was just because of the power of the princess. Now everyone in the palace knew that the princess did not want to see her mother's family move in, and the Jiang family could not get up.

Perhaps it involved the princess, and everyone heard about it. Although they had different feelings, they did not make any judgments.

Starting from the next day, Wang Qi went to the Chengdu Department with Huang Jin to learn rituals every day. Dao Chi and Lu Bing accompanied the prince, and the prince also took them with him when he went in and out of Qingyun Gate.

Dao Chi had been in the palace for a year before he recognized the entire Xing Wang family. Needless to say, Dao Chi had seen the little girl several times; this was the first time Dao Chi had seen the three princesses.

Because of Wang Qi, the Taoist idiot couldn't help but look at the third princess twice.

Princess Jiang was selected as the princess not because of her family background, but because of her good looks. Her children, including the prince, are all like their mother, and the three princesses are no exception.

The fourteen-year-old girl has a slim figure, an oval face, and curved eyebrows. She looks kind and honest.

Dao Chi secretly praised Wang Qi, and his guilt for Wang Qi was reduced a bit.

Wang Qi would be well off by marrying such a beautiful, gentle and gentle third princess as his wife. If he is a shrewd person, even if he enjoys the honor, he will not stop at home.

Regarding the two accompanying princes, Dao Chi and Lu Bing, several other people looked very jealous, but there was nothing they could do about their jealousy. Dao Chi and Lu Bing were still boys, and when there was no need to avoid taboos in coming and going, other people of all ages were

Not too small.

The happiest person was not Dao Chi, but Lu Bing. He felt that he finally had a companion and treated Dao Chi better and better. Since his home was in the side courtyard of the palace, he often invited Dao Chi to his house.

Mrs. Fan looked tall and strong, but she had a soft heart. After she learned about Dao Chi's life experience from her son, she showed no sympathy or mercy on her face, but she did not lose food or clothing.

Lu Can, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, saw him and said, "If mother really pities him, she will adopt him as her adopted son. Seeing that father is always talking about him, I think she really loves him."

Mrs. Fan shook her head and said: "How can it be so easy? It would be better if I had not nursed His Highness; now that I have nursed His Highness, the simpler the relationship between our family will be, the better."

Lu Can was silent for a while and said, "Mother, are you overthinking?"

Fan said: "The Wang family was selected by the princess to help the prince. We can get close to each other, but it is not possible to get past the princess..."

Chen Chizhong and others were also curious about Wang Qi's whereabouts. Wang Qi did not go to the Chief Officials Department, nor to the Yiwei Department. Could it be that he went to the Fuwei Department?

But after they asked twice, Wang Qi said vaguely: "I'll tell everyone after a while."

We couldn't force him out, so we had no choice but to let him.

Two days before King Xing's "May 7th", the imperial envoy from Beijing finally arrived in Anlu and brought new news about King Ning.

King Ning's army was held back in Anqing for half a month and remained in a stalemate for the first day. Yaozi in the capital ordered his imperial commander to march personally. Yaozi's army was gathering. Wang Shouren, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, gathered an army of 100,000 and rushed to Nanchang Mansion. If King Ning did not return to help, he would

They will be raided; if King Ning comes back to support them, regardless of victory or defeat, the momentum of the rebels will turn from prosperity to decline.

When the prince heard this, he felt more and more at ease. Whether it was Yaozi who led his troops south, or Wang Shouren who led one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians to confront King Ning, King Ning's rebels would not get any good, and their defeat was only a matter of time.

The posthumous title chosen by the emperor for the prince is "Xian". Rixian is smart and wise, and has holy knowledge and quality. It is considered a beautiful posthumous title. The prince is quite satisfied with this.

As for Yaozi's cousin, although he was trapped in the vassal territory and had no chance to see him, he heard about his many "great achievements" from the prince's side. He was originally really worried that his cousin was not worthy and that there were mistakes in the response to his father's funeral.

, Now it seems that no matter whether the emperor is naughty or not, if the ministers around him understand, they can't do stupid things.

This spring, due to the Emperor's southern tour, there was a lot of commotion in the capital, and the prince also heard the prince mention it twice.

At that time, he was still curious. First, he was curious about Yaozi's cousin who was about to become a young man and was still playful like a child. He was also surprised by the power of the courtiers. Even if Yaozi persisted and the courtiers worked hard together, it was Yaozi who failed.

For this reason, he specifically asked the prince: "Father, didn't Yaozi keep his word? Why can't the emperor do whatever he wants even if he is Yaozi? As ministers, they should not be obedient and serve the emperor, so why do they dare to disobey the emperor's wishes?

?”

King Xing replied: "So, my son must learn a lesson from this. The reason why the emperor was unable to make the trip is because the ministers took advantage of the righteousness. They claimed to be loyal, and in order to reduce the expenditure of the treasury and the safety of Yaozi, they repeatedly blocked Yaozi from going south.

The inspection matter. The emperor failed, not in front of his ministers, but in front of righteousness. Because what he started talking about was fun, not anything else. If he was patrolling the river and relieving the people, how could he not be strong-willed?

In the final analysis, it was because the emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and those so-called 'loyal ministers' were used to gesticulating in front of the emperor, playing the role of teachers and guides. In addition, the emperor was lenient and did not care about those old people, so the current situation emerged.

"

The voice of his loving father was still in his ears, and the young prince knelt before the soul, tears falling down... During the "May 7th" festival, imperial envoys from Beijing and officials from the provincial government came to Anlu, and there was a lot of excitement inside and outside the palace.

After the big sacrifice, the imperial envoys did not leave on the 1st. They had to wait until the July 7th big festival to return to Beijing.

King Xing passed away in a hurry, and the king's tomb was designated only after the prince passed away. Now, the Xiang Hall will be built there first. After King Xing's "Qiqi", the coffin will be sent to the Xiang Hall for temporary enshrinement. After the king's tomb is repaired, the ancient site will be chosen.

He was officially buried on the same day.

Compared with the excitement of "May 7th", "June 7th" is a family festival, and those who come forward are limited to those in the palace.

The royal family members and respectable stewards all received grace and entered the Qingyun Gate.

When he saw Wang Qi standing where the officiant was entering, the person who was most shocked was not the official of the palace, but the third attendant of Lequn Courtyard.

Wang Qi has lost another ten kilograms due to studying the rituals for the past half month. She is five feet three inches tall and weighs one hundred and fifty kilograms. She looks just a little rich and does not appear obese.

Amidst the sound of sacrificial music, Wang Qiyuan successfully presided over the sacrificial ceremony.

When he returned to Lequn Courtyard, he didn't care to say anything more. He pulled the Taoist Chi closer to the wing while the other three people watched.

"My brother is strangled to death. Please help me untie him." Wang Qi pulled off her mourning clothes and said.

Only then did the Taoist idiot discover that Wang Qi had a piece of beef tendon as thick as a little finger tied on his back. The principle was similar to the "back-beijia" of later generations, which allowed Wang Qi to keep his chest upright.

"Why do you think of using this?" Dao Chi asked while helping him uncover it.

In this hot summer, it's still better to use beef tendons to cut the meat. The red purlins are also torn next to the skin.

When the tendons of the beef were removed, Wang Qi's body immediately became a bow.

He lay down on the couch, grunted like a dead pig, and said: "After a set of rituals, it will take nearly two hours. My brother has to stand upright. He really can't hold on. This is also a trick. If

Without this, I would have been unable to stand up on my knees..."

Regarding Wang Qi's "clear identity", the other three companions had different reactions. Lu Wenzhao dismissed it, returned to Lequn Courtyard, slammed the door hard, and did not leave the house; Chen Chizhong and Liu Congyun accompanied Wang Qi to his room.

Congratulations to him.

Liu Congyunyi smiled on the 1st, and Chen Chizhong also looked like a boss, but they were different after all.

After the two left, Wang Qi felt melancholy.

Dao Chi was too lazy to see him "moaning for nothing" and began to think about how he could talk to the prince after "Qiqi".

According to the vague news these days, the crown prince’s studies will continue after the funeral. It’s just that everyone will go back to their own places on the 1st, and there will be six students studying with the crown prince on the 1st; there are still four older students.

, two little ones were reading together, and the Taoists were a little unsure.

If the former was the case, he would have taken leave to go out without being conspicuous; if the latter was the case, if he had taken leave, he would have missed the chance to get closer to the crown prince, Lu Bing... There is not enough time tonight, so the second update will be postponed to tomorrow morning.
