76 Chapter 76 Funeral

Both of them were stunned. Xiao Chengjun endured it again and again, and burst out laughing.

Lou Jing wiped her nose and found blood on her hand. She quickly jumped up and went to wash in the basin.

Xiao Chengjun followed him and wiped his face with a wet cloth, "I told you to eat less lychees, but you are disobedient."

Lychees are hot in nature and will make you angry if you eat too much. At noon, I told him to eat one plate and then stop eating. However, this guy ate one plate after another and refused to listen.

Lou Jing puffed up his face, and the charming atmosphere just now was suddenly stained by nosebleeds. He was very dissatisfied. He grabbed Xiao Chengjun's wrist and pushed him against the wall, "Don't laugh."

"Okay, I won't laugh..." Xiao Chengjun said not smiling, but still pursed his lips and kept laughing, "Well..."

Lou Jing angrily circled the man between his arm and the wall, gagging him for laughing.

I eat three hundred lychees a day, but they are no match for the beauty's thin robe and golden bell.

The sweetness of lychee was still lingering between the lips and teeth, giving the kiss a lychee flavor, as if they were tasting the heat of midsummer, making both of their bodies feel warm.

"You still have injuries on your back..." Xiao Chengjun pushed the guy who kept rubbing against him.

"It doesn't matter." Lou Jing gnawed a small bean through the thin material of clothing, and the water soaked it. The snow-colored thin shirt fit tightly around her body, and the pink color was faintly exposed.

Xiao Chengjun raised his head, one hand still pressed against the wall, as if he were a fish nailed to a chopping board, being licked from head to tail by a cat. It tasted good, and he licked it several more times.

The place that tastes good is naturally the tender part. The cat's tongue licked it, making the helpless fish tremble and struggle on the cutting board. Finally, the more it tasted, the more greedy it became. The cat took out a small box of ink lacquer to hold the seasoning, spread it evenly, and spread the delicious food.

The fish is eaten open and eaten.

He wrapped his long legs with golden bells around his waist, and the bells made regular "ding-dong" sounds as he moved. Xiao Chengjun felt embarrassed and covered his eyes with his arms.

The golden bell rang, and accompanied by the sound of breathing in time with the bell, Lou Jing felt that the scene in front of her was covered with a layer of charming mist.

"Ding Dong...Ding Dong...Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong..." The sound of the golden bells became louder and louder, and finally they almost became one.

The night watcher outside the door was confused. Why did the prince and the prince play with the bell tonight? What's the fun in swinging it back and forth like this?

Yun Wu and Yun Si squatted in the dark to watch the night, glanced at the curious little eunuch, and continued to wave away mosquitoes.

The next day, the prince failed to get up, so Lou Jing got up softly and told Le Xian to inform the Minzhou officials that today's meeting would be rescheduled to the afternoon.

When I was leisurely in the capital, I was used to His Highness the Prince of Fujian being distracted by beauties from time to time, so he obediently went to the front yard.

Since Xiao Chengjun took over Minzhou, he has discussed matters every morning, on time, and never been late, which has made the originally unorganized local officials complain endlessly. With local official salaries, doing the hard work of high officials in the capital, there is nothing like it in the world.

They were bitter to the vassal king and the feudal officials.

However, after persisting for nearly two months, everyone had adapted. Suddenly hearing that His Royal Highness, the extremely diligent King of Fujian, had postponed the meeting, they all felt a little weird.

"Is your prince feeling ill?" the Minister of Punishment asked tentatively.

Le Xian still had a festive smile on his face, "You're too worried, sir." After saying that, he left with a smile.

The Minister of the Ministry of War patted the face of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty is accompanied by a beautiful woman now. It is normal to get up late occasionally. Why are you so ignorant?"

The Minister of Punishment slapped his forehead and said, "I made a mistake. I made a mistake."

Lou Jing supported her head with one hand, lying on her side on the big bed with jade mats. She held a fan and gently fanned the sleeping person. Thinking of the delicious food last night, she couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on her face, and slowly leaned over.

, touch lightly on the red and swollen lips.

The exhausted Xiao Chengjun seemed to have not yet woken up, still sleeping soundly.

Minzhou's dazzling sunshine jumped in from the window. Lou Jing moved forward, blocking the sun with her body, covering the sleeping person in shadow, and continued to shake her fan.

In the capital, Emperor Chunde did not have such a good life.

In the early morning, the courtiers once again mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince.

"Now, there is only one third prince who is worthy of a great position," an official came forward and said, "The position in the East Palace is vacant, and people are already panicking. In accordance with my opinion, it would be better to establish the prince as soon as possible."

Many people came out to talk about this matter, and they all said that as long as the crown prince is not decided, the princes will continue to fight. If this continues, the emperor's heirs may wither.

"The third prince has been raised by Concubine Chen since he was a child. He has never been taught by the queen and is not qualified to inherit her." Yang Youting, the official minister, has always spoken outright. As soon as this statement came out, the originally ambiguous words in the court suddenly stopped.

Zhao Duan, the left prime minister, glanced at the upright Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and raised his mouth slightly while hiding his beard. A large part of the reason why he promoted Yang Youting, who was smelly and tough, to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was to use him to choke the right prime minister.

"Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, so there is no rush to establish the crown prince." Zhao Duan came out of the queue at the right time and bowed.

These words were very popular with the emperor. Emperor Chunde nodded slightly. In fact, he also understood that only the third prince could be established as the prince. However, to establish the third prince would be to violate the ancestral system. He has not yet figured out how to do it.

The establishment of the queen's son as the crown prince is the ancestral system established by Taizu, unless the discipline is abolished and the Chen family is established as the queen...

"Your Majesty, the coffins of the four princes will arrive in Beijing tomorrow." Yao Zhu, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said something else.

When the fourth prince died in battle, Emperor Chunde ordered that he be buried with royal ceremonials. He was brought from Jinzhou and had already passed the first seven days. After the third seven rituals were performed, he could be buried.

In the palace, Concubine Chen Guifei is in charge of the Sixth Palace, but she has not yet come up with a charter. The Ministry of Rites is very anxious, and Yao Zhu directly asked, "Your Majesty, the palace charter has not been finalized yet. How will the etiquette be handled tomorrow?"

"

Emperor Chunde was displeased and asked, "How does the queen do things?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is still ill. Now she is the imperial concubine holding the phoenix seal." Huaizhong reminded in a low voice.

Since Emperor Shizong's birth, royal weddings and funerals have been under the jurisdiction of the queen, and the Ministry of Etiquette must refer to the regulations of the central palace before acting. But how can Concubine Chen, a woman deep in the palace, understand these external affairs? Shan Yulin

The military deployment made her very worried. In addition, the third prince had been criticized these days, so she only focused on pleasing the emperor and did not pay attention to the memorial ceremony, so that at this time, she didn't even have a draft.

Emperor Chunde suddenly realized that women were in charge of the Sixth Palace and could not be managed at all. He was afraid of trouble, and the idea of ​​abolishing the queen suddenly disappeared. It made sense for Sejong to want his descendants to marry male queens.

After going to court, Emperor Chunde immediately ordered the phoenix seal to be returned to the queen, and ordered Ji Zuo to come out quickly to organize the funeral of the fourth prince.

When Concubine Chen received the order, her vision went dark, and she watched Huaizhong take her away without covering her hot phoenix seal. When Huaizhong disappeared, she couldn't help but scream, "What's going on? The articles of association clearly sent her away.

Went to the Ministry of Etiquette!"

She doesn't understand this. There are so many civil servants under the right minister, so they must understand. Three days ago, Concubine Chen asked the Chen family to draw up the charter and send it to the Ministry of Rites.

"I haven't seen the imperial concubine's charter." Yao Zhu said to the interrogating palace official with a confused look on his face.

The palace man had no choice but to turn around and go back. Yao Zhu smiled contemptuously. It seemed that the charter was written by the Minister of War. Chen was determined not to let him bring it out for confrontation.

Sure enough, when Concubine Chen got the news, she was so angry that her lungs hurt, but she did not dare to speak out anymore and let the foreign ministers interfere in the affairs of the inner palace. If she told the news, she and the Chen family would be in trouble.

Ji Zhuo twisted the white jade phoenix seal, and a smile flashed in Leng Suying's eyes. Although the position of queen was not what he wanted, he would never let anyone snatch it away for free. He took it out of the box a long time ago

Draw up the charter and hand it over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so that they can handle it. At the same time, the generals in charge of the Yulin Army on the left and right are summoned to discuss it.

The fourth prince's coffin was brought to the capital, the Yulin Army guarded the spirit, and was moved into the fourth prince's residence. The etiquette department arranged the memorial ceremony, and everything was in order without any mistakes.

Officials, dignitaries, and wives both inside and outside came to express their condolences in batches, in an orderly and solemn manner.

In the past, because Concubine Chen broke the rules of Panlong Palace, the concubines could not follow the rules of Panlong Palace easily. After a few days of watching, those concubines with high status or favorites began to go to Panlong Palace with supplements and snacks to show their courtesy to Emperor Chunde.

Too disturbing.

Now that the Queen is back in charge of the Sixth Palace, the concubines dare not make any mistakes, and the rules are extremely good. Emperor Chunde felt that his life was finally peaceful and comfortable, and he could no longer think of abolishing the Queen.

The fourth prince was buried, but there was no order from the capital.

The vassal king was not allowed to enter the capital without an edict, and the emperor did not issue an edict, so Xiao Chengjun could not go to the capital to express his condolences. He could only set up a memorial hall in the palace of the Prince of Fujian to offer a pillar of fragrance to the four emperors' brothers.

"He has been honest since he was a child, and my father and I have been very protective of him, so that he has developed this stubborn temperament." Xiao Chengjun looked at the Ran Ran Qingyan, feeling very sad.

The friendship we grew up with together cannot be easily erased.

"Prince Jing will go and say goodbye to him for you." Lou Jing hugged her husband and patted his back comfortingly.

Xiao Chengjin often had letters sent to him. As summer entered, his body became more energetic and he was now able to leave the house and move around.

In the palace of the Fourth Prince in the middle of the capital, everything was wrapped in silk clothes, and the cries of pain could not be heard. Officials came forward one by one to offer incense, all wearing plain clothes and white crowns, with sad faces.

"Prince Jing has arrived -" the etiquette officer at the door sang loudly.

Everyone stood on both sides to greet him, and it took a moment for them to react.

"King Jing!"

"Second Prince?"

Many people couldn't help but exclaim in low voices and stared in the direction of the door for a moment.
