Qing Chuan Rebirth: Seeing You Every Year

Chapter 102 I'm just a loner

When the empress dowager passed away, it was a national mourning, and the city was full of silence. For a while, princes, ministers, princes and grandchildren, and Princess Fujin all entered the Forbidden City to mourn.

Shu Yi knew that ancient funeral ceremonies were grand, but he did not expect such a grand scale and such complicated rules.After 27 days of mourning in the palace, Shengsheng wiped away all her sorrows and injuries, except that she was tired all over her body.

After the transfer ceremony, the empress dowager's golden coffin was transferred to the funeral palace.In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the emperor still lived in the tent of Cangzhen Gate to mourn, even though his old illness relapsed, he still refused to move back to live in Qianqing Palace, and the whole court was full of worries.

More than a month later, because of Yinti's expedition to the west, Xu heard that Shu Yi asked to see her, but the emperor allowed her to go to the tent to answer the question.

Zhao Chang led Shu Yi to Cangzhen Gate: "Long Live Lord is only willing to see you for so many days, except Prince Yong, please help persuade Fourteen Fujin, Long Live Lord lives in the ice and snow at such an old age, and his legs and feet are not good these days." It's so swollen that I don't take much food and medicine, and the old slave feels distressed when he sees it."

"Eunuch, don't worry, if you can speak up, I will definitely persuade you."

Shu Yi walked up to the curtain, pulled the stacked winter clothes and covered her body with filial piety, knelt in front of the tent and kowtowed three times before she began to speak: "Huang Ama, my daughter-in-law is sending you greetings on behalf of Fourteenth Baylor Yinzhen."

In front of the tent, the back of the emperor can be vaguely seen. Although the emperor is also wearing a heavy cotton-padded coat and filial piety, he can still see the old and thin state, but he kneels straight, without losing the majesty of the emperor.

At this moment, the eight-year-old emperor who has been on the throne for more than fifty years has become an extremely lonely old man in Shu Yi's eyes. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for a long time? My queens all died young, and now the queen mother is gone, and Fuquan, Mingzhu and other veterans are also walking in front of me..."

The emperor's back suddenly bent down: "Oh, there are not many people left who can talk..."

Shu Yi thought for a while before replying: "Huang Ama is the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, with great achievements, you must take care of your dragon body!"

The emperor coughed a few times, stood up slowly, and sighed: "A long-term achievement...a long-term achievement...it's just a lonely family."

Shu Yi knelt on the ground, after thinking for a moment, he boldly said: "The emperor is the lord of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's ama of the princes and princesses kneeling in front of the Qianqing Palace, and also the emperor's grandfather of the emperor's grandsons and princesses, and his daughter-in-law looks forward to the emperor's ama." Take care of the dragon body so that Yinzhen can fight in the northwest with peace of mind!"

The emperor sighed: "Yes, I am not only their emperor Ama and grandfather, but also the lord of the Qing Dynasty. The war is pending, how dare I hurt myself..." He pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Shu Yi: "The court has never After playing the battle report, did Yinzhen write to you, and what did they say?"

Shu Yi was flustered for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "The general just marched to Xining, and he is still dealing with the aftermath of the general and soldiers who died. Xu Shi didn't report it to the court because he didn't think it was important. The general heard that the empress dowager died. Passed away, heartbroken, tell my daughter-in-law to visit Huang Ama often, let you take care of the dragon body, and wait for him to triumph!"

The letter Shu Yi received was sent through a private post, but luckily the emperor didn't go into it.

The emperor went out of the tent, looked at the northwest direction of the Forbidden City, and murmured: "Okay, okay, wait for him to triumph, and I will wait for the old fourteen to triumph..."

Shu Yi picked up the food box on the side, and said slowly: "Shu Yi brought some porridge, please ask Huang Ama to bring in some..."

Around the winter solstice, it got dark early, and it was already dark when Shu Yi left the palace.The palace road was silent, except for the sound of footsteps and the sound of the wind. The servants were leading the way with two pale lanterns.

Shu Yi climbed up to the palace wall by accident, and the moon was covered by dark clouds, giving a panoramic view of the bleakness and loneliness of the Forbidden City.The cold wind rattled her robe, she looked up to the northwest, and clasped her hands together.

I am also waiting for your triumphant return, Yinti, you must come back safely.

At the end of the year, the court finally received good news. General Yanxin under Yinti led an army of [-] to escort the Dalai Lama to Tibet from Qinghai.

Shu Yi also received a letter from Yinti. There were two dried goji berries in the envelope, and Shu Yi thought he accidentally slipped it in.

I didn't understand what it meant until I read the phrase "I didn't find the red beans, so I will send love with this thing". The last line of the letter is still the same sentence: May you work hard for tea and rice, and sleep well every day.

Because of the national mourning, this New Year was extremely deserted. It snowed heavily a year ago, the city was completely white, and the Spring Festival couplets, fireworks and firecrackers were all gone.

With the shadow of the lamp flickering, Shu Yi lay sideways on the couch looking at the pile of rewards on the table, watching the new year with Hong Ming and Hong Yun.

Hong Ming sat aside and quietly flipped through "University", the candlelight tore his figure out of the rough edges, Shu Yi looked at it, and felt like a miniature version of Yinti sitting there.Hong Tun next to him was so sleepy that he dozed off.

Shu Yi got off the ground and put on a cloak, and greeted the two children: "I'm too sleepy, let's go for a stroll in the garden with my mother!"

Although the two children were unwilling, they got down to the ground, and each of them carried a cloisonné enamel lamp, and accompanied Shu Yi out the door.

The snow-covered garden is clean and white, the wintersweet flowering period has not passed, and the fragrance is faint.

Hong Tun looked at the snowman he built a few days ago, sighed and asked, "When will Ama come back?"

Hong Ming patted his back in the dark, and shook his head at Hong Tun.

Shu Yi saw every move of the two little ghosts, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that if you don't do your homework, Ama will beat you? How free you are now, why do you still miss him?"

"Even so, Emma isn't happy at all when Ama isn't here. Emiang isn't happy, and my son isn't happy either."

Shu Yi leaned over and hugged Hong Tun into her arms: "With you and my brother by my side, Er Niang is not unhappy, but occasionally misses Ama, just like you would miss Er Niang when you go to the study and read. .”

"Did Ama's letter say when to come back, this year, next year, or the year after?"

Shu Yi looked to the northwest, sighed secretly, and said slowly: "If you win the battle, you can come back!"

In the camp of the Qing army in Yushu, Qinghai, the horses neighed and the cold wind howled.

Xingtai hurriedly led two guards, carried several boxes and wrapped them into Yinti's camp: "General, the New Year's gift from Fujin has arrived, and it was delivered in time, just in time for the New Year's Eve Ten!"

As soon as the curtains of the camp tent were opened, gusts of air-conditioning came in, which made Yinzhen feel uncomfortable in his throat. He coughed a few times suddenly, raised his hands to tighten the fur cloak on his body, got up and walked towards the packages.

Yinti looked at the big and small bags, unable to do anything for a while, and said with a smile: "There are so many, this is to move the house here for me."

Xingtai scratched his head, and asked hesitantly: "General, can I open it and have a look, my sister said there is one for me too!"

"Don't use your sister as a cover, Yang Luan sent you something together, right?"

Xingtai smiled and nodded embarrassedly.

Yinti replied: "Take it apart, be careful, don't break it."

"Okay!" Xingtai picked up a dagger and cut the knot outside the package.
