MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1140 The royal people are all double-standard dogs!
Chapter 1140 The royal people are all double-standard dogs!
With that said, she walked out.
The door of the house was closed again, blocking the faint morning light.
Outside the door, the third princess once again ordered the guards, "The prince-in-law is weak and needs to rest. No one is allowed to visit and disturb the prince-in-law's peace."
“Yes, princess.” The guards responded with a bang.
The third princess held Caiyun's hand and Shi Shiran walked out, as if she didn't even hear the cracking sound coming from the house...
Inside and outside the palace, all the colors had faded last night and were replaced by a plain white world.
In the new capital, all officials of fifth rank and above wore mourning robes, lined up with their heads lowered, and waited outside the door.
Even though they had known about the queen's death for a long time, and the body was probably smelly now, everyone was acting like a dramatist at this moment, and they all pretended to be surprised.
Occasionally, there will be a high-level official who is surprised and a little sad, with red eyes, and people can't help but secretly want to applaud him for his dedication.
The ladies of rank three and above were lined up not far behind the officials. They were also dressed in linen mourning clothes, without any jewelry, and their hair was simply held up with wooden hairpins.
Including the carriages of each family to serve the entourage, a total of eight or nine hundred people gathered at the entrance of the palace.
Even a fool knows not to stand out at this time.
Therefore, there were crowds of people but there was no sound. It was extremely silent.
Soon, Manager Yi came out in person and led everyone in to express their condolences.
The courtiers knelt in the white marble square, while the ladies came to Kunning Palace.
The white marble, which is usually clean and smooth, was like a furnace in such weather, roasting the knees of all the courtiers like meat.
Of course, when you kowtow, you must also bring a red forehead!
Inevitably, everyone began to envy the ladies in Kunning Palace.
In fact, the married women are miserable right now!
In such hot weather, there is no way to ensure the integrity of the body unless it is frozen in ice.
It took such a long time and countless trucks were used to crush the ice, but the queen still rotted little by little and became beyond recognition.
The married women kneeling in the courtyard not only had to bow and kneel, but also endured the sun's rays. They also had to endure the attack of "poisonous gas", which made them almost want to faint.
Jiayin was kneeling in the front row with her grandma, which was even more painful.
But fortunately, they were well prepared.
When she left home in the morning, Jiayin gave herself and her grandma two injections to temporarily block their sense of smell.
Even the frozen sour plum juice is hidden in his arms, and the plain purse tied around his waist is also filled with medicinal materials to remove bad gas.
But once the air is close enough, the rotten smell will sting your eyes!
Grandparents and grandson don’t have to wipe the corners of their eyes with a handkerchief soaked in **** juice, their eyes are already red...
Jiayin counted the time and found that most of the morning had passed, so he comforted grandma in a low voice.
“Grandma, if you hold on a little longer, you should be able to rest soon.”
Old Mrs. Li waved her hands feebly and secretly moved her legs to activate the blood in her knees.
“Don’t worry, I can still hold on. Don’t say anything, or you’ll be accused of being disrespectful.”
Jiayin nodded and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The Royals have always been the biggest double standardrs.
For the sake of the so-called overall situation, the queen's body can be allowed to rot here without mourning in secret. No one thinks that doing so is disrespectful to the deceased.
But if the weeping courtiers and wives are a little bit disgusted and negligent, then they are guilty and deserve to die!
Jiayin knelt for a while longer, pretending that her legs were numb, and tilted her body. Taking this opportunity, she smuggled a piece of mint candy out of her sleeve and quickly stuffed it into her grandma's mouth.
The cool and sweet taste instantly made Mrs. Li energetic. When she looked at her granddaughter with anger, she couldn't help but smile in her eyes. Jiayin stuck out his tongue quietly and was about to stuff a piece for himself when he heard someone next to him retching quietly.
She turned her head slightly and looked over. It turned out to be a gray-haired old woman, older than her grandmother.
Perhaps it was too hot, and the rancid smell was too strong. The old woman couldn't hold on, and she didn't dare to keep retching, so she became even more pitiful and embarrassed.
Jiayin hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but feel soft and gently threw a mint candy over.
The mint candy fell on the hem of the old woman's skirt, startling her.
Jiayin coughed lightly, and the old woman understood. She immediately picked up the mint without leaving a trace and held it in her mouth.
After a while, the old woman's retching stopped.
Mrs. Li saw this and wanted to say something, but she kept her mouth shut. She did not blame her granddaughter for being nosy...
At this time, a young **** suddenly walked through the crowd, walked quickly to Mrs. Li, and whispered, "Mrs. Li, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess are considerate of your old age, and specially invite you to go to the side hall to chant sutras for you. The queen prays."
After saying that, he saluted the good news with a smile and added, "Princess Princess, please come to the side hall and take care of the old lady nearby."
Jiayin felt happy, but when he raised his head and looked at the eyes of everyone, he felt a little hesitant.
Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
At this time, everyone is sunbathing, and only their grandparents and grandchildren can go and rest. It is really eye-catching and makes people jealous.
Of course, everyone knows that the prince grew up in Broken Gold Beach, and the princess also loves her like a sister, but this is not the time to be reasonable...
Old Mrs. Li didn't get up either, obviously she was also worried about this.
Seeing this, the little **** quickly moved to the white-haired old woman next to him and said, "Madam, the prince, please come to the side hall to pray together."
Without waiting for the town's wife to respond, he rushed elsewhere.
In a moment, almost all the older married women in the yard received extra care.
There is no jealousy or jealousy at all.
The old women got up one after another and followed the young **** to the side hall.
Jiayin walked at the end, supporting her grandma. Before entering the door, she was stopped again and led to the wing not far away.
The prince and the third princess were sitting across from each other drinking tea. They were also wearing mourning clothes, but there was no sadness in their expressions.
Seeing the ancestors and grandsons of the Li family, they both stood up and took a few steps to greet them.
Mrs. Li quickly picked up the good news and was about to kneel down to salute, but was helped up by the third princess.
"Old madam, there is no need to be so formal. I just couldn't see you suffering, so I invited you in. If you keep kneeling here and there, it will be in vain."
The prince also said, "Yes, madam, sit down quickly."
Old Mrs. Li really didn't have the energy to refuse, so she sat down for a long time and drank half a cup of herbal tea before she felt much better.
The good news was even more rude when he saw that apart from Caiyun, not even Eunuch Feng was in the room.
She drank two cups of herbal tea in one breath, pulled the third princess's fan and waved it vigorously for a long time, and then asked, "Don't you need to go to the front, Your Highness? There is also a princess, and the married woman is here to express condolences. Don't you need to come forward?" "
The third princess responded with a flash of sorrow in her eyes and a sarcastic look on her lips.
"I have been dead for how many days, and now I want to cry. What is there to cry about? If my mother dies, I will be free. It would be better to be reincarnated as soon as possible into a wealthy and ordinary family to enjoy happiness."
The prince was embarrassed. After all, it was the emperor's decision not to announce the funeral secretly, but in the end, he benefited the most.
Jiayin quickly changed the subject and asked, "Aren't you talking about copying scriptures? Come, prepare paper and pen. Before lunch, I will copy a copy!"
