Chapter 102 Acquaintances
"Grandpa, could it be that Xia Nanguo's business is not good? But you can't run that far." Qin Xiaoxi ate the candied haws.

"..." He didn't want to run that far either, look at... that guy's eyes... how terrifying...

As if sensing something wrong with the people around her, Qin Xiaoxi asked Yan Wushu, "Uncle, you also know Grandpa."

Whenever there is an outsider, do you call him uncle... Yan Wushu's face turned dark. "Xiaoxi, actually, you shouldn't call him grandpa..."

Qin Xiaoxi looked at Yan Wushu puzzledly.

The old man smiled helplessly, and then led the two of them to the private room of the nearest teahouse.

The old man put the candied haws aside, and silently took off the white beard sticking to his face, revealing a handsome middle-aged uncle's face.

Qin Xiaoxi looked at him, why did she always feel...so familiar...

His little concubine obviously hadn't remembered the identity of the old man yet, so Yan Wushu said with a dark face, "Xia Nanguo is the overlord."

The Supreme Emperor of Xia Nanguo? !Qin Xiaoxi compared the face in front of her eyes with the face of Yan Zhi she had seen before, 90.00% coincided with each other, those eyes were still calm and see through everything, the difference is that this face now is even more Some vicissitudes.

Taishanghuang... It seems that she should call him father... Even though she thought so, Qin Xiaoxi didn't call, because... Even King Mu didn't call...

"Father, I wonder if you have received any news?" Yan Wushu asked.

"What news?" The tone was calm.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the queen mother... has passed away..."

Yan Zhi was silent for a while, "I see."

The emotions between the two of them were too calm, Qin Xiaoxi bit the candied haws, and when they had nothing to say, she interjected, "Father...why do you sell candied haws..." And... still ran so far Sell.

"Because... people in Xishu Kingdom like to eat candied haws..." He would not tell her the truth about those things back then.

Back then, King Mu hadn't married a wife yet, so he was very worried that there would be no follow-up for King Mu, so he wanted to find a good man for King Mu.He pretended to be sick on the [-]-story staircase leading to the Buddhist hall. After three days of pretending, he welcomed a person who was willing to help him.At that time, although what he saw was just a lonely and helpless little girl, he was thinking at that time that as long as he was willing to help, anyone would be fine.Those boudoir girls who used to pretend to be obedient in front of him, when they saw an old man who was about to faint, they ran away from him. How could such a person be worthy of his excellent son.

As for selling candied haws in the imperial city, I wanted to see... if I could meet that little girl by chance.It turned out to be a coincidence.Her words made him feel even more that he wanted King Mu to marry her.

Later... Mu Wang really married her, so he felt at ease.After abdicating to Wuchen, he ran around, but... met again.

"It's a lie... People in Xishu Kingdom obviously like to eat rose cakes." There will be at least one plate of rose cakes on every table.

Yan Zhi coughed lightly, but did not answer.

Qin Xiaoxi suddenly remembered that the grandfather once said that his son doesn't like women...then...whether Brother Wu Chen doesn't like women...or King Mu doesn't like women...

Her expression suddenly became very strange, Yan Wushu asked, "Xiaoxi, did you think of anything?"

"Well, I'm wondering who is the son that the emperor once said he doesn't like women." Qin Xiaoxi expressed the doubts in her heart without reservation.

A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, the corners of Yan Zhi's mouth twitched, avoiding the murderous gaze cast by King Mu, "That's my nonsense."

"Okay... why are you here, Father?" Qin Xiaoxi asked curiously.Well, it’s wrong to be the emperor, what kind of trouble is it to sell candied haws in Xishu country...

"...Come and play, staying in the palace was too boring, so I ran out." Yan Zhi's expression remained calm.

Yan Wushu's eyes flickered with a touch of ridicule.His royal father... can really talk...

"Then...the empress dowager is buried, will you go back?"

"I won't go back." Yan Zhi smiled kindly, "You must keep your filial piety."

Qin Xiaoxi nodded obediently.

There is a rule in Xia Nanguo that when the father or mother dies, the daughter-in-law is required to observe the filial piety for at least three months.

Although King Mu is not the queen mother's biological son, after the death of King Mu's mother and concubine, King Mu adopted him to be raised by the queen mother. Therefore, after the death of the queen mother, Princess Mu should observe the filial piety with the queen.

Yan Wushu hardly spoke, and it was Qin Xiaoxi and Yan Zhi who spoke all the time.After sitting for an hour, they parted ways.Yan Zhi didn't go back to the palace, but still stayed in Xishu Kingdom to sell his candied haws, while Yan Wushu and Qin Xiaoxi stayed in the imperial city of Xishu Kingdom for a few days before rushing to Xia Nanguo.

The entire imperial city was completely white, and every household was covered with white cloth.

Yan Wushu and Qin Xiaoxi entered the palace without stopping.

Yan Wuchen also took off his bright yellow clothes and put on white clothes. Yan Wushu and Qin Xiaoxi changed into white clothes in advance at the city on the road, so they didn't rush out of the pond.

Brother Wuchen is really sad, also, no matter what that person has done, he is brother Wuchen's mother... Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxi felt quite depressed.Brother Wuchen really treated her well, but his mother died because of her...

"Mu Wang, thank you for coming back. Tomorrow, I will arrange for the burial of the queen mother." Yan Wuchen forced a smile on his face and told Mu Wang a lot of arrangements and precautions for tomorrow. Head, sullen look.

There was a genuine smile in his eyes.

"Little baby, starting tomorrow, you will live in the palace for three months. Let's observe filial piety with the queen." Yan Wuchen suddenly said to Qin Xiaoxi.

Qin Xiaoxi didn't react for a while, and stayed there.After three seconds, she nodded, "Well, I will obediently listen to Sister Yuwen."

Qin Xiaoxi readily agreed, and Yan Wushu felt a little annoyed. Since getting married, Xiaoxi had never tried to leave him for so long. This time...if he didn't want others to gossip, he wouldn't have come back!

After everything was settled, Yan Wushu and Qin Xiaoxi went back to the palace hand in hand, waiting for tomorrow's burial and filial piety.

Yan Wushu wasn't worried that Yuwen Jingyin would bully Xiaoxi, but...he was afraid that she wouldn't be used to the life in the palace alone, and that she wouldn't be able to take care of herself...So, in the big package he packed for her, there was everything, including clothes, Small concealed weapons, wound medicine and the like.

The burial ceremony of the Xia Nanguo royal family is very simple, as long as the son of the deceased burns incense to worship the sky, kneels down to the ancestors, and bows down to the deceased.Burning incense to sacrifice to heaven is of course for the emperor to do.
