Bring your son to chase after your wife, please go home

Chapter 608 The Queen's Funeral (4)
Pei Zhihao, Marquis of Guangling, went out, cupped his hands and said: "The old minister thinks that Zuoqiu Heyi, the son of the prime minister's mansion, is a talented group, mature and prudent, enough to take on this great task."

King An's party came out to second the proposal one after another.

The King Huai party had just lost its backbone, and stood there hesitantly.

Seeing this, Bailijing stepped out and said slowly: "The old minister thinks something is wrong."

Ye Tianyu raised his eyebrows, "Marquis Wu Ding, why don't you tell me what's wrong?"

"Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed extremely talented." Baili Jing answered without hesitation, "But he has no experience in leading a department. Things are very familiar."

Sensing the hostile gaze from King An's Party, Bai Lijing straightened his back even more without changing his expression, "What's more, His Royal Highness is going to choose someone to preside over the empress's funeral. Naturally, there is no one better than the servant of the Ministry of Rites. suitable."

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were silent.

Marquis Wu Ding was right, today is the day for the Empress's funeral, and it will be an auspicious time soon, what is lacking are people who are familiar with the internal affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the funeral process.

However, just now when Emperor Cai's grandson asked who could be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, An Wang's party was unknowingly surrounded by him, and Guanglinghou became the leader.

Thinking of this level, everyone trembled, and cold sweat broke out on their backs. Only An Wang Ye Zhan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his hands hidden in his plain white sleeves were clenched tightly, and the veins on his drooping forehead twitched.

"What does Grandpa Huang think?" Seeing Ye Zhan's reaction, Ye Tianyu raised half of his lips, turned around and asked Emperor Liang for instructions.

"Tianyu is now in charge of the Chonghua Palace. You can make up your own mind about these small matters. You don't need to ask me for instructions in the future." Liangdi, who was leaning on the golden dragon stick, opened his eyes with narrowed eyes, and his voice was calm but majestic. can be heard.

"Then the minister of the Ministry of Rites will preside over the funeral of the emperor's grandmother." Ye Tianyu said loudly to the officials.

Not long after, the minister of rites came to the front, and took out the silk cloth that recorded the queen's various merits during her lifetime and asked the Minister of Taichang Temple to read it out.

The ministers knelt down and shouted for the queen to be a thousand years old.

After the ceremony, the emperor's grandson came forward to offer condolences one by one.

After all the etiquette was over, the Minister of Rituals shouted: "The auspicious day for Empress Dehui's funeral is here, come out!"

The Buddhist scripture-chanting monks from the Fadu Temple and the imperial guards holding the umbrellas of the people lead the way, followed closely by the empress Lubo's guard of honor, and then Zigong.After Zigong, the grandson Ye Tianyu, the prime minister Zuoqiuchi, the king Ye Zhan, the king Ye Hen, the king Ye Ting, the grandsons of the county kings and the civil and military officials, and finally the princess and the concubines.

The distance from the imperial capital to the imperial mausoleum is quite far, Dudu was left in the mansion by Ye Hen today and did not come.

The empress had a big funeral, and there were thousands of bearers carrying the coffin, so several imperial roads leading to the imperial mausoleum were built.

After Emperor Liang raised his spirit in Zi Palace, he was supported by Xue Zhang and escorted by the Beiya imperial guards. He went from another imperial road to wait in the reed hall where the spirit could take a rest.

Baili Changge followed among the group of female relatives, thinking in his heart how he could get close to Zuo Qiuhe who was walking in front.

Ye Qingmo saw that her expression was different, and asked aloud: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Uh... yes!" Baili Changge nodded embarrassingly, and glanced at Zuo Qiuhe walking in front from time to time.

The funeral procession is too huge, there are so many people, and the imperial road is crowded, it is impossible to squeeze forward directly, and maybe Ye Hen will suspect it.

After struggling again and again, Baili Changge gave up. She looked back helplessly, smiled softly at Ye, then rolled her eyes and asked her, "Has the princess been at the funeral all this time yesterday?"

"Yeah." Ye Qingmo nodded.

"That's weird." Baili Changge squeezed his chin, "When I returned home, I saw a man who looked very similar to you, and he seemed to be heading towards Xuanningfang. Now there is no one, maybe I was wrong, or maybe I saw a ghost."

Ye Qingmo's complexion changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "My mother is going to have a big funeral today, how could I leave the mansion yesterday, let alone go to a place like Xuanningfang, are you too tired these days and have hallucinations?"

"I think so too." Baili Changge looked at her and smiled.

Ye Qingmo stopped talking, but Baili Changge caught a glimpse of her face turning pale.

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Seeing the two of them muttering together, Ye Ranyi deliberately stepped forward and asked curiously.

"We're saying, after the empress and concubine are all attracted, it's time for the emperor to discuss marriage for you, the princess." Baili Changge raised his eyebrows.

"What nonsense!" Ye Ranyi frowned.

Ye Qingmo turned her head amusedly, "Miss Changge is notoriously fond of joking, do you believe her words?"

Ye Ranyi pouted in displeasure, "If you make fun of me again, I'll let my brother treat you properly!"

"Is Prince Jin's Mansion still fun?" Baili Changge gave her a sideways glance, "Aren't there all kinds of antiques and rare treasures?"

Ye Ranyi thought of being trapped in the formation that day and couldn't get out. She shuddered and curled her lips, "The princess just doesn't care about breaking the formation, otherwise you think you can trap the princess with such a breaking technique." ?”

Ye Hen, who was walking behind King An, seemed to feel something, raised half of his lips, and turned his head with a half-smile.

His expression made Ye Ranyi swallow his saliva in fear, and quickly retreated to his original position to walk with Princess Ning.

"Princess, Ming people don't speak dark words." After Ye Ranyi left, Baili Changge lowered his voice and said to Ye Qingmo: "Who did you go to Xuanningfang to see that day?"

Ye Qingmo was taken aback, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Didn't you know me before?" Baili Changge smiled, "Since we are old acquaintances, why bother to put on airs, wouldn't it be better to open the skylight and speak the truth?"

"What do you want to know?" Ye Qingmo asked without answering.

"It's nothing." Baili Changge smiled at her, "I just want to know if the person imprisoned there is my cousin Fu Qingyun who has been missing for a long time, and why did you imprison him like that?"
