Chapter 1,376

Ling Yu was so saddened by his crying that she held back her tears and kissed him and said: "From now on, mother and Yue Yue will never be separated again. Yue Yue is a good boy. Change into mourning clothes and go to watch the funeral of your imperial grandfather!"

"Mom, that person said he wanted me to change my name to Xiao Yue. If I don't change my name, I'll get you into trouble!" Ling Yue took the opportunity to complain to Ling Yu in a low voice.

Ling Yu looked at Xiao Lintian who was standing aside.

Xiao Lintian's face twitched when he heard Ling Yue call him that person. Ling Yue didn't even want to call him father, because he was still angry with himself.

Seeing Ling Yu glaring at him angrily, Xiao Lintian had no choice but to step forward and whisper.

"It was my fault before that I didn't give Yue Yue a name! But now I know I was wrong. Just let Yue Yue change his surname back to Xiao!"

"Ayu, the palace is not as good as outside. If you continue to be named Ling, you and Yue Yue will get into trouble!"

"Yue Yue is my son, and letting him recognize his ancestors and return to the clan is also my sincerity in repenting!"

Ling Yu frowned. Although he didn't know what would happen in the future, Ling Yue could be included in the family tree by changing his name and gain recognition from the world.

In order that her son would no longer be called a bastard, Ling Yu finally agreed.

Xiao Lintian still had government affairs to deal with, so he hurriedly left after talking to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu took a set of small filial piety clothes for Xiao Yue to put on, while telling him what he should pay attention to.

Xiao Yue listened carefully. He already knew from Aunt Li's instructions that every move he made when entering the palace would be related to Ling Yu.

He secretly made up his mind that he must not embarrass Ling Yu, he must behave well, protect his mother, and protect the people around him.

"Mom, Qi De, Yue Yue will be left to you!"

Ling Yu was busy dealing with things and could not keep an eye on Xiao Yue, so she could only entrust him to the two of them.

Aunt Li and Qi De were the ones who followed Ling Yu through the storm. They both nodded in unison and vowed to protect Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue was sent to the mourning hall, and the female relatives, Baiguan and Concubine Shao all had their own thoughts when they saw it.

"This little bastard has also been admitted to the palace. How virtuous and capable he is to be able to enter such a noble palace!"

Zhao Zhenzhen's eyes were full of anger. When she saw Xiao Yue, she was reminded that Ling Yu had robbed Xiao Lintian and gave birth to this bastard.

It's all Ling Yu's fault that she missed out on the position of queen!

Ling Yu, why don't you and this bastard die...

****

During the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, the coffin lay in state for seven days, and the officials and women knelt in mourning for seven days.

The soldiers and civilians in the imperial capital must take off their crowns and tassels and wear plain tassels for twenty-seven days. They are not allowed to marry for one month, have fun for a hundred days, and slaughter for forty-nine days.

It is already the end of the year, and in twenty-seven days it will be the Chinese New Year.

Xiao Lintian's enthronement ceremony had to be held two years ago, and the conferment ceremony could only be held on the first day of the new year when worshiping ancestors.

The funeral and the enthronement ceremony were all major events, and both Ling Yu and Xiao Lintian were extremely busy.

On the Kneeling Ling side, both of them could only find time to kneel for two hours every day.

For those elderly women, Ling Yu saw them kneeling tremblingly. She took the time to talk to Xiao Lintian. The women who were over sixty years old were asked to go home and keep vigil on their own.

It would be their fault to stay in the palace and not get sick.

Zhu Lan's child had not yet been weaned, so she knelt down in the palace. Zhu Lan was not worried about the child staying in Prince Ye's palace, so he reported it to Ling Yu and took him into the palace.

Ling Yu saw that it was inconvenient for her, so she specially prepared a side hall so that these female relatives could go there to rest every two hours.

These are all things that benefit you, and no one has any objections.

Even if Concubine Shao wanted to find fault, she couldn't arouse public anger and find fault on this issue.

For vegetarians, Ling Yu asked Geng Xiaohao to send fresh vegetables to the palace every day. In this late winter, everyone was in a good mood when they could see the green vegetables.

Zhao Zhenzhen was dissatisfied again and muttered: "Vegetables are so expensive this winter. Doesn't the princess know that firewood and rice are expensive when she is not a householder?"

"With so many people keeping vigil, spending so much money every day, and still having such good food, is this not treating the money from the treasury as money?"

"How long can this treasury last for someone as prodigal as she is?"

Zhu Lan heard from the side and said calmly: "Don't you know, Princess Kang? The vegetables that the Crown Princess treats everyone to eat are not paid for by the palace, but paid for by the Crown Princess herself!"

"The Crown Princess did this because she sympathized with our hard work in keeping vigil and was thinking about our health. She said that this was considered as her filial piety and thanked us for keeping vigil for the Supreme Emperor!"

"Princess Kang, if you feel sorry for yourself, please pay some money to treat us to vegetables!"
