Chapter 169 Cousin Liu's Struggle
The front yard was in chaos for most of the night, and the next morning, a spirit banner was hung high at the gate, and the inside and outside of the palace was snow-white.The relatives or aristocratic families began to come to express their condolences one after another, and soon, the emperor's imperial decree also arrived.

I don't know if it's for the sake of showing off to the world, or if he really has some kind of sincerity towards his only brother. The emperor's imperial decree was written with sorrow and heartache, and he directly bestowed Zhongshan King with the word "loyalty" as his posthumous title. Civil and military officials knelt down before the coffin, and even stopped for three days in the end to quietly remember their elder brother.

Everyone in the palace, together with Dong Rong, who had a big belly, knelt down and kowtowed to thank each other.Dong Rong looked at the slightly haggard husband from a distance, and was about to step forward to say a few words, but the sickly Princess Liu insisted on letting her go back to the backyard to "rest" on the pretext that she was pregnant with a child.

Dong Rong had no intention of competing with her for power, and now she was in front of all the guests, she did not refute at all, and returned to Xuemeixuan after bowing respectfully.

Both Zizhu and Yiba were afraid that their master would be angry, and when they were thinking about how to persuade Dong Rong, they ate two pieces of snacks and drank a bowl of porridge, then picked up their needles and threads and slowly started making small clothes.

The two girls looked at each other, then slowly exited the room, and ran to ask Wenniang instead.Wen Niang seldom walked in front of her master for the past few days because she had done something wrong before. Now she heard the two maids talk and persuaded, "Madam, it is reasonable to do this. Now the old prince has not given a funeral. If there is a commotion, wouldn't it make the whole capital laugh at the palace. Besides, no matter how bad the old concubine is, she is also the master's mother. Madam seems to have been wronged today, and the master will love her even more in his heart."

After thinking about it, the two girls realized that this was the case, so they echoed, "It's better not to go to the front, Ma'am, but you have to kneel and kowtow without saying anything, and you have to entertain so many guests."

"No, I don't think that Miss Liu is a kind person. If she tricks the old concubine into doing something bad, it will be troublesome. Let's take good care of the lady and rest in the yard. The master will be back when the work is done."

The three of them made up their minds and began to settle down and live their lives as usual. As soon as Jia took the A-character group that turned from dark to bright to go out of the house to buy food and other things, Yun Rui and Fuzi followed Guanshi Zhang to listen to orders. Sometimes They were also scattered throughout the palace, and if there was any trouble, they would trot back to the yard to report, for fear that the master would suffer a disadvantage.

In this way, the palace was noisy for three days and three nights, and in the early morning of the fourth day, the old prince finally went to the funeral.Dong Rong knelt behind Liu Wangfei with her belly on her stomach. Seeing her fainting from crying, she felt a little pitiful in her heart.But poor people must have something to hate, she dare not despise this mother-in-law at all, you must know that the empty palace is built by her old man.

The ceremonial officer read the emperor's handwritten eulogy for half an hour, and everyone knelt so that their legs were numb.Relying on her bulky clothes and two maidservants covering her, Dong Rong sat directly on the ground.Occasionally, he secretly looked up and saw his child's father looking over with a worried face, so he nodded with a light smile.The couple, who had been separated for more than two days, immediately felt warm in their hearts because of this sight...

Finally, the old prince who had been tortured for several days was buried in a coffin made of golden nanmu.Since then, there has been another underground palace made of white marble in the garden of the Murong family, and the title of king of Zhongshan has also been replaced by the suave and suave eldest son.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you should be filial.Wearing a white plain satin robe, the young king of Zhongshan, who also had a suet jade hairpin on his hair, was fascinated by countless ladies and jade jades on the way back from the funeral. Before going to the horse, he cried and begged the prince to complete.

But the newly promoted Zhongshan King was obviously still immersed in the grief of losing his father and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't even pay attention to the woman, so he gave the chance to save the beauty to the guards with him.When the woman saw the middle-aged guard with a swollen face and a scar on his neck, she decisively helped her father who had "resurrected from the dead" and ran away...

Dong Rong was sitting on the soft couch in front of the window, drinking the peach juice chilled in the well water while listening to Fuzi who was standing outside the window finish speaking vividly, laughing so hard that she couldn't stop coughing.Zizhu and Yiba hurriedly patted their master's back, but in the end they just slumped on the soft couch and couldn't get up.

Dong Rong managed to catch her breath, and before she could ask any more questions, she fell into a familiar embrace.She froze for a moment, then found a comfortable place to lie lazily, and asked, "Are you all done?"

"Hmm." Murong Huaide sniffed the familiar fruit fragrance in his bosom, and the impetuousness in his heart seemed to dissipate in an instant.He tightened his arms, and asked softly, "Is my son good? Have you eaten well?"

"Don't worry, my son and I are fine, but you... picked a few 'delicate flowers' that share the same disease and love each other on the road?" Dong Rong couldn't help but giggled again as she spoke.

Murong Huaide smiled bitterly helplessly, lowered his head and kissed her twice as punishment, and finally sighed, "I just hope that the days will pass quickly, where can I see the "flowers" by the roadside? After the father and king burned for a hundred days, we will take mother and concubine back to Qing County."

Dong Rong frowned slightly when she heard the words. She didn't think that Princess Liu, who had been obsessed with power and wealth all her life, would condescend to live in a farm compound.But these words inevitably meant provocation, so he swallowed it, and said instead, "Okay, there is still an open space behind our yard, and then we can build another yard for my concubine to live in."

Murong Huaide thought that his beloved wife would object, but immediately became happy when he heard this, and replied, "Why don't I write a letter to make public and then start looking for craftsmen to do it, so as not to disturb you when I go back."

"Okay, it's too late today, let's write tomorrow morning."

The young couple took turns taking a bath while they were talking, and finally changed into clean and loose underwear, and fell asleep hugging each other.

Dong Rong didn't know how long she slept, she seemed to hear someone whispering beside her, so she slowly opened her eyes.

The moonlight came in from the gap in the window, and it was shining on the sad-faced man. While slowly stroking his wife's swollen belly, he said softly, "Son, when you are born, Daddy will teach you to write big characters with your own hands. Let you sit on your shoulders to go shopping, and show you the most beautiful river. If someone bullies you, Dad will break their legs. If your naughty offends your mother, Dad will intercede for you. Dad will not Like... as confused as your grandfather, Daddy will watch you grow up every day..."

Dong Rong slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully. In her dream, she was leaning on her husband's arms, watching her children play with a smile, and the days were extremely peaceful and beautiful...

As soon as the weather in Kyoto enters August, there is less rain. The sun rises early and returns late every day. I work very seriously and responsibly.The corn sticks in the fields grow fast like crazy, as if they gain weight every night.

Seeing this, not only the common people who rely on the sky for their food laughed, but even the civil and military officials in the court all smiled.Agriculture has always been the foundation of a country.When the fields have a good harvest, the people will not easily rebel when they are full, and the country will be stable.Civil officials can sing loudly about the peace of the world, and military officials don't have to lead troops to go out. Naturally, everyone is happy.

But the world is not always perfect, the whole capital is singing and dancing, but the idlers in teahouses and restaurants are annoyed that there is nothing new for them to spend their leisure time.

The Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, which would cause some gossip from time to time, seems to have completely quieted down these days because of the passing of the old prince.Not to mention the noise, even a car and a horse seldom come and go in front of the door.Everyone can't help but feel a little regretful, but you can't hope that people's homes will be restless, that's not kind.Fortunately, in the bustling capital of Kyoto, there are always some interesting things to do, so as not to bore the young and old to death.

Xuemei Pavilion, located on the northernmost side of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, is not as clean as the idlers imagined at the moment.Yiba, Yunrui Fuzi and a few servants were lying on the gate of the courtyard, looking at Miss Liu who was pulling her master from afar, with a face that was about to cry, and wished she could go up and chop off her hand.

Yiba lowered his voice and said bitterly, "This vixen is too shameless. Our master made it clear that he doesn't want to pay attention to her, but she always sticks to her. It's really pissing me off."

Fuzi rolled his eyes and laughed softly, "We just learned a few tricks from the masters these days, do you want to find a chance to scare her?"

Yiba blurted out his promise, but after thinking about it, he was discouraged again, and said angrily, "Forget it, Madam told me not to allow us to cause trouble, otherwise the old princess will blame the prince and annoy the prince."

Fuzi shrugged and sighed, "It's really boring to live in this palace, and I don't know when I can go back to my hometown. Our orchard is about to harvest fruit, right?"

Yiba had never been to the Four Seasons Garden, so he asked curiously after hearing this, "How is our orchard, what kind of fruit do we grow..."

"That's a lot, apples, pears, peaches and pomegranates, you can find everything..."

A few of them were talking lively, but the door was pulled open from the outside unexpectedly.

Murong Huaide couldn't help frowning when he saw the servant girl who fell into a ball, and asked in a cold voice, "Aren't you busy with anything? What are you doing in front of the door?"

Yiba was the first to jump up, and replied with a dry smile, "My lord, I'm going to bring dinner to my wife, so I'm leaving now."

"I'm going to sweep the yard too!"

"I'm going to fetch water!" Fuzi and Yunrui followed suit and ran away with Yiba.

Murong Huaide shook his head helplessly, and slowly walked into the room along the corridor.Dong Rong was walking all over the ground with her terribly big belly, when she turned her head and saw her husband's face was gloomy, she couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Why, are you being entangled by Cousin Liu again?"

Murong Huaide stepped forward to help her sit up, and said angrily, "There is such an annoying woman in the world, every time she can't say a few words, she has to wipe her tears, and the servants will think that I have deceived her! "

Dong Rong recalled that the last time she was sitting in the gazebo, she happened to see Cousin Liu "accidentally" falling into the water, and she was just waiting for the passing cousin hero to save her.As a result, my husband just pretended not to see it, and went straight up the mountain.The cousin Liu was so angry that she stood up from the mud pond with a few dead lotus leaves on her back, and the water barely reached her waist. The situation was so ridiculous.
