Lin Yutong felt heartbroken when she saw Honghui coming back. She pulled him and looked him up and down, "Have you eaten? Did you not sleep last night?"
Honghui helped E Niang go inside, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't eat for a day and a half." There was dried meat on him, but how could he eat it now? Although it was okay to eat it secretly, he thought of Huang Mafa and felt uncomfortable.
.
Lin Yutong patted Honghui's hand, "Everything has been packed, let's leave immediately." In fact, there is nothing to pack. You can't wear newly made clothes. Fortunately, there are many people in the royal family, and there are lives and deaths every month. Every month
When making clothes every season, you have to make plain clothes, but now you can do it with your own hands. Once the emperor's coffin enters the palace, the mourning begins. Your own identity is very important now. Apart from the Queen Mother and the Concubine De, the only one left is yourself.
Naturally, he didn't dare to delay at all. He got on the carriage and asked Honghui to ride with him.
Honghui just sat down, and Lin Yutong stuffed him with a bowl of vegetarian soup noodles, "Eniang made it by herself. She boiled the noodles and passed them through with water, then mixed them with oil and left them. The soup is made from bamboo shoots and mushrooms.
.When eating, pour the hot soup on top, it will be warm and comfortable to eat.”
"Eniang." Honghui's mouth dropped, but he still took the bowl and ate.
Listening to E Niang's nagging, the sadness in his heart seemed to lighten a little.
Listening to E Niang's words: "Birth, old age, illness and death are all human nature. Sooner or later, your mother and I will go one step ahead of you..."
"Eniang!" Honghui's tears fell, but he said: "Now is different from the past. You can't say that about Amma. Amma must be long live, long live, long live."
Lin Yutong sighed, "Okay, okay! Mom will pay attention. If there are outsiders around, she will never talk nonsense. But you can't be too cautious around your mother, otherwise, your mother will be sad."
"My son understands." Honghui breathed a sigh of relief.
These children need to be in awe of the imperial power, but they cannot let this awe lead them to distance themselves from the love between father and son.
Lin Yutong felt that he still had a long way to go to adjust their relationship.
After Honghui ate, he told Lin Yutong what happened over the past two days and one night. Lin Yutong listened calmly on his face and asked him to lie down and fall asleep. In fact, he was really sweating for the father and son. He had saved him in the first place.
When I was in Honghui, who could have imagined that I would encounter such embarrassment now. Fortunately, I got through it without any danger.
Starting from the Old Summer Palace, the journey would take half a day. She closed her eyes to rest her mind, not daring to disturb Honghui, so she asked the child to rest.
It wasn't until he entered the capital that Honghui woke up when he heard the sound of the city gate opening and closing.
"Let's go directly to the palace, Amma is still waiting." Honghui said to Lin Yutong and went out.
When Lin Yutong was on the carriage, he could still hear the Ouchi guard escorting his party calling Honghui his elder brother.
The carriage entered the palace gate, and the queen's phoenix chariot was waiting for him. The bright yellow color looked particularly bright in the cold winter dusk. Lin Yutong couldn't help but think of that year, when the fourth master covered his hand and looked at Dafu Jin together.
He rode away in the palace in a sedan chair. He said at the time that he would let himself sit on a bigger carriage in the future. Now, she gave herself the biggest carriage.
Lin Yutong looked at the sedan chair in front of him with a somewhat dazed expression. Things have changed, and Dafu Jin, who was sitting in the sedan chair back then, has passed away.
"Mom, this is the honor given to us by Ama." Honghui whispered.
Lin Yutong shook his head, "Silly boy, what does a family say when it comes to respectability? This is your Amma fulfilling his promise."
Seeing that Honghui was a little confused, Lin Yutong didn't explain. He generously held Honghui's hand and got into the chariot.
"Mo Yaqi, come up with Hong Shi and Hong Zhao." Lin Yutong waved. Anyway, the place is big. He turned around and called the nanny who was holding Hong Xuan to come up too.
Only the brothers Honghui and Hongyun were left, and they could only walk along.
Hong Yun asked Hong Hui, "Where are you staying tonight?" Judging from E Niang's appearance, she seemed to be taking everyone to Qianqing Palace.
Honghui whispered: "My brother has already tidied up the yard. Don't you know about the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Who dares to wrong us? However, it still depends on Ama's wishes."
When the fourth master saw Lin Yutong holding children in his arms and holding them in his arms, he was a little stunned for a moment. His first thought was how to arrange it so that he could stay.
Lin Yutong held the child in his arms and said, "Master..."
Fourth Master first reached out and took Hongxuan, who was twisting and turning.
Only then did Mo Yaqi react and quickly saluted with her younger brother.
"Everyone, please get up." The fourth master looked at each one one by one and immediately made up his mind. There is only two courtyards in the back, and although it has a wing, it is not enough to live in.
"It's the first night for the child to come, I'm not used to it." Lin Yutong whispered: "Besides, how can Mo Yaqi live in a girl's house? I can't rest assured."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Peisheng came in and said, "Aunt Ping is here."
The fourth master called people in, but he didn't have time to see the empress today.
Aunt Ping saluted, glanced at Fourth Master and Lin Yutong with excitement, and said: "I heard that Da Gege entered the palace, so I asked my servant to pick her up. I want to ask Da Gege to come and stay with the empress for a few days."
Lin Yutong understood that maybe it was inappropriate for him to bring all his children to live in Qianqing Palace. So he and Hongzhao were given to Aunt Ping, "Then let them live with E Niang first. I can't worry about other places."
Aunt Ping thought that the mistress was going to give her sons status and take advantage of the situation to live in Qianqing Palace. Unexpectedly, she introduced this one who could actually stay with her. Hongzhao lived in Yonghe Palace for half a year before, and now I still remember it, and I don’t feel disgusted. Anyway, we are not far away. There is also my eldest sister. This child has a big heart. He took Grandma Ping’s hand and almost waved a small handkerchief to say goodbye to his parents. There was no nostalgia at all. .It’s a little embarrassing to ask Lin Yutong to face Aunt Ping.
Mo Yaqi gently pulled Lin Yutong's sleeve, and when Lin Yutong looked at her, she smiled slightly. This meant to reassure her.
Lin Yutong watched Aunt Ping leave with her two children, then looked at Honghui and Hongyun, "Don't live in the new courtyard first. Didn't you have a place to live in the palace before? You took Hongshi to live there. Now it's the same as before. But it’s different. You all should be more alert. If there is any new enchanting girl in the yard, you can send someone to tell me, do you hear me?"
The Fourth Master didn't pay attention at first, but now he was shocked when he heard it. Women are really careful. He really hadn't thought about these things. The two sons are already old, and if Fujin Fei hadn't said that having sex too early would be harmful to the children's health, No, there should have been someone in the house long ago. Nowadays, I have never seen a woman with sex. If I was really seduced, it would be during the filial piety period. Even if no one is plotting against me, I can't stop some girls from having upward thoughts.
He glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Go and have a look. Send them back personally."
Honghui and Hongyun's faces turned red after being told this.
Lin Yutong pointed to Grandma Yuan again, "Grandma, let's go too. Whether it's the old yard or the new yard prepared for us, we'll go through it all."
In this world, if there is any improper filial piety, it will be stained for life. There is no need to be careless at all.
After the child was sent away and Hongxuan was put to sleep, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
Big things are important, and so are children.
"I just asked you why you brought all the children. It turned out to be to prevent this." Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong to sit on the couch, "but I didn't think as carefully as you did."
"My concerns are different from mine." Lin Yutong shook his head and said, "They say that if you raise a child for a hundred years, you will have ninety-nine worries. This is really true."
The Fourth Master looked sad. This was because he thought of the late Emperor.
Lin Yutong regretted saying this and changed the subject, "Lie down and take a rest for even a cup of tea." After saying that, he couldn't help but push the fourth master down and put his hand on his forehead, "Don't move, sleep for a while."
It’s on.”
Fourth Master had long been used to Lin Yutong's massage and didn't resist at all. I don't know if he was really sleepy or if Lin Yutong's massage had an effect. He actually fell asleep with his pillow on Lin Yutong's lap.
When Su Peisheng and Grandma Yuan came back, they both shook their heads at Lin Yutong. Only then did she feel relieved.
The fourth master had only slept for a moment after burning a stick of incense, when someone reported from outside that the funeral hall had been set up.
Well, starting tonight, we have to start the vigil.
Lin Yutong thought he would have to wait until tomorrow.
The two of them sat facing each other and ate some of the food brought from the imperial kitchen. Lin Yutong took advantage of this time to make a cup of tea for the fourth master. He felt relieved after watching him drink it.
The fourth master went to the front first, and Lin Yutong had to go to the inner hall where the female relatives were, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites. He had to start the mourning by himself.
When Lin Yutong arrived, all the Fu Jins arrived. In addition to the sisters-in-law, there were also Fu Jins who were close to the clan. On the other side, there were the late emperor's concubines. All of them except De Fei arrived.
After Lin Yutong knelt down, Concubine De helped the old lady in.
Concubine De knelt in front of the concubines. The old empress held the coffin in her hands and cried uncontrollably, "I sent away your Emperor Ama, sent away your Emperor's grandmother, sent away Chang Ning, and sent away Fuquan.
, sent you away again. You are all gone, what should I do if you are left behind?"
These words sound desolate and sad.
Lin Yutong and Concubine De stood up and helped the old queen, "The emperor will definitely be filial to you like the late emperor."
The old queen mother nodded, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.
I had to send someone to take the old queen back to the palace first.
Kneel down in the main hall, throw the paper ingot in your hand into the brazier, and follow the master of ceremony's instructions, cry when you should, and stop when you should.
It wasn't until an hour passed and it was time to rest that Lin Yutong got up and remembered that Jiu Fujin was still pregnant. He hurriedly asked people to clean up the side hall and asked Jiu Fujin to rest. When he turned around, he saw that Thirteen Fujin looked wrong again.
, hurriedly called Nanny Yuan over, and helped Thirteen Fujin to accompany Jiu Fujin. It seemed that she was pregnant, but she hadn't noticed it yet.
I haven’t even been crowned queen yet, and I’m already feeling tired. I really have to worry about everything. (. )
