Guozijian little cook

Yan Xingxuan didn't come, which meant that the other party was blocked by something and it was inconvenient for him to come.

Xiao Nianzhi was not sure, so it was inconvenient to ask.

Before she could speak, the guard had already explained: "His Royal Highness has entered the palace."

The reason was not explained, but it made Xiao Nianzhi feel uneasy.

Could it be that the Queen Mother is ill?

But the guard didn't say much. Xiao Nianzhi thought about it and didn't ask any more questions.

Because he was worried about things in the palace, Xiao Nianzhi had no appetite after returning home. He ate something hastily, then went back to the study to read, and then went to bed.

The next day, the weather was nice, so Xiao Nianzhi made a meal of noodles with sesame sauce at home.

Refreshing and comfortable.

She herself was quite satisfied.

Unfortunately, there has been no news about Yan Xingxuan.

I am not sure whether the Queen Mother is ill.

After the rest, Xiao Nianzhi got up early and went to the palace to attend court. He had already entered the second gate, but found that everyone was stuck in front.

When Xiao Nianzhi passed by, the officials in front had already knelt down and started kowtow.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat.

She thought: Probably not, right?

Although he didn't know the situation clearly, he followed the crowd and kowtowed before asking more about the situation.

However, Xiao Nianzhi no longer needed to ask questions soon. Those sentimental officials were already wailing at the top of their lungs: "The Queen!"

Xiao Nianzhi was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Queen?

She originally thought it was the Queen Mother who couldn't bear it anymore.

Turns out, it’s the queen?

The queen had never been ill or suffered any disaster before, so this news was a bit sudden.

However, Xiao Nianzhi rarely knew too much about the news in the harem outside the palace, unless he knew it on purpose.

Therefore, if the queen was ill and there was no rumor, Xiao Nianzhi might not know about it.

But never mind what the situation is these days.

Let’s kowtow first.

After kowtowing too much, Your Majesty has a day off today.

After all, the queen passed away and she really needed to take some time off.

Don't worry about whether they are in love or not, after all, they are married and have been friends for many years.

After all the officials kowtowed, they all dispersed.

There will be a formal worship ceremony later, but now there is no need to worry too much.

Xiao Nianzhi went back to check in first, and then went to the outfield.

There are not many channels for them to get information.

Yu Jianzheng still needs to rely on Yu Shangshu to get more information.

However, when the queen passes away, the Ministry of Etiquette needs to follow the procedures to organize the funeral ceremony.

Even the minister is too busy to keep his feet off the ground.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi does not know the news for the time being.

It was not until the afternoon that Xiao Nianzhi heard a few words from Cui He about the death of the queen.

"I heard that the queen's body was not in good condition before, and the imperial doctor has been keeping an eye on her. She has been dragging her feet for two months."

"A few days ago, I seemed to be in good spirits, but now it seems like, hey..."

"It's hard for us to ask the imperial doctor, and we don't know the details."

……

Cui He knew this thanks to the eldest princess.

Cui He learned some news when he met Fuka Ye on the way to the outfield.

No matter how much more, he actually doesn't know.

Or rather, Fukaba didn't say much.

After all, it concerns the queen, and I don’t want to talk too much about royal secrets.

Knowing that the queen had been ill but had not been cured, Xiao Nianzhi sighed inwardly.

In the past, she had only a general idea about the lifespan of ancient people and did not have a particularly clear concept.

Even the parents of the original owner left very early.

However, there are always exceptions to everything.

However, now I heard that the queen is gone.

Xiao Nianzhi seemed to finally have some sense of reality in his heart. She is no longer in the modern era when the average life expectancy has increased a lot, but in the ancient times when the average life expectancy was only thirty or forty.

Thirty or forty!

What amazing numbers.

Xiao Nianzhi had no personal relationship with the queen, and he didn't really appreciate her behavior.

So, to say that it is sad is definitely not true.

However, she is the mother of the country after all, and as one of the officials, she has to pretend to be sad even if she is just pretending.

However, after all, it is the passing of a life, which inevitably makes people feel a bit sad.

After Cui He revealed a few words, he went to work honestly.

After everyone listened, they looked at each other, couldn't help but sigh, and then everyone went about their business.

The death of a queen will not be as grand and grand as the death of an emperor and the loss of the head of a country.

In addition to informing the officials, there is no need to inform the people.

Of course, the Rites Department must have been extremely busy in recent days.

In addition to the corresponding procedures, it is also necessary to formulate a posthumous title for the Queen that satisfies His Majesty.

Of course, in addition to this, Qin Tian Jian also needs to calculate the days.

……

In short, there are many processes, and the departments involved have to work calmly.

After all, the mother of the country is gone.

You have to pretend, right?

As a clan member, Yan Xingxuan definitely needed to express his condolences.

The crown prince and the ninth prince even stood vigil in front of the coffin, not pretending to be replaced by others.

The prince, in particular, had to find some free time during the day to handle all his official duties.

Watching the night is a big night.

Even a tough guy can't stand this.

However, I managed to hold on for the first three days.

Your Majesty was originally satisfied with the prince, but after the incident with the imperial concubine, he became even more satisfied with the prince.

Now that I see him like this, I feel deeply moved in my heart.

Regarding the word "filial piety", the prince's behavior satisfied him very much.

A hundred years later, one day he...

After a year, His Majesty felt that he seemed to be much older and refused to think about this issue.

However, the queen passed away...

Hey!

I got married when I was young, and even though the relationship has long since ceased to be deep, after so many years, I have gone through ups and downs together, and I still feel a lot of sadness in my heart.

The queen passed away, and the entire capital fell into a state of coldness and desolation.

Because, the whole capital is banned from entertainment for a month.

This is just the Queen. If it were the Queen Mother or His Majesty himself, this time would probably be postponed further.

Of course, this also depends on His Majesty’s own wishes.

If your Majesty is so willing, sometimes when your beloved concubine passes away, your Majesty may ask you to be banned from entertainment for half a month or a month.

Although sometimes it was against the rules, some emperors became willful and did not care about the life and death of the censor and the people of the world.

Fortunately, although His Majesty is always doing somersaults when it comes to women, at least he is not confused about important matters.

In recent days, Xiao Nianzhi has been keeping a low profile and maintaining a low profile.

It's not too hot to go to the outfield, so I can honestly eat a big pot of rice that doesn't taste very good.

Because entertainment is prohibited in the capital, there is only a little bit of oil in the big pot of rice served in the outfield.

As for the meat?

That didn't.

There may have been minced meat in the past.

Nowadays, you don’t need to add oil, just boil it in water, and it’s already very good.

Even so, Xiao Nianzhi could still eat it.

She doesn't choose, she really doesn't choose!

Wow, it’s such a hot day, why does she have to suffer like this here?

Every time he thought about this, Xiao Nianzhi thought about his salary and benefits.

At the end of last month, she also received summer refreshment benefits.

After calculation, there are more than thirty taels of silver.

When I think about it, I feel much more comfortable.

While Xiao Nianzhi was eating a big pot of rice with tears in his eyes, he comforted himself in a low voice: "I can't bear this hardship." (End of Chapter)
