Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 266 Mourning Hall
After solving a difficult matter, Shen Xi suddenly felt better.

"So sleepy..." Shen Xi couldn't help but yawned, and stretched her waist by the way: "Husband, let's go to bed earlier today."

Xiao Che got up: "Yes."

Although she was exempted from vigil at night, she still had to be there during the day.

The empress dowager has a great funeral, and the ministers have to kneel in front of the mourning hall for three days.

It's mourning.

As the regent, Xiao Che could barely be regarded as the son of the Queen Mother who would not be recognized by anyone and had no blood relationship at all, and Shen Xi was naturally the daughter-in-law.

Therefore, although it is called keeping the spirit, the term "shouxiao" should be more appropriate.

For some reason, Shen Xi always felt that the queen mother should not die so easily.

Look at the villains in those stories, which one died so easily?
But the fact is... she is dead.

The cold nights in late autumn make people shiver, especially the late nights, which are as cold as winter days.

Facing the cold wind, Shen Xi ran all the way into the soft sedan. Fortunately, the charcoal fire had already been burned in the sedan chair. It was not until he felt the familiar heat that the blood in his body seemed to flow.

Above the mourning hall, Shen Xi looked at the weeping pear blossoms with rain, and the emaciated concubine, and couldn't help a faint mockery in her heart.

How many of you here are really sad because of the death of the Queen Mother?
Probably not.

Emperor Wen Hui's dragon robe was covered with a white mourning dress, and his handsome face was not as energetic as before.

After all, when the Queen Mother was here, she still helped Emperor Wen Hui a lot.

There was no Wang Yi before, and now there is no queen mother. In this court, there are almost no one who really supports Emperor Wen Hui, except for those few veterans...

However, they are also getting older. Others at their age have already retired and returned to their hometowns to take care of their old age. It is also hard work for them, and they are still helping this mud that cannot support the wall.

Although the Empress Dowager had a strong desire to control Emperor Wen Hui before, she still cared about her son after all. Emperor Wen Hui didn't think it was too difficult. She also had some tricks, but now she died...

The situation in the court is about to change again.

"Join Your Majesty."

Princess Roya, as a foreign guest, does not need to keep a vigil like them, but the most basic etiquette is still required.

Yesterday she said that she did not come over because of illness, but today she should come because of emotion and reason.

Even if it's just for a walk.

This time is definitely the best time to meet the emperor. At the banquet, everyone is dressed up in fancy dress, and it is difficult to attract the emperor's attention. It is different now.

As the saying goes, a woman should be pretty and filial. This kind of frailty and appropriate haggardness can arouse the sympathy of men.

It's just that everyone didn't sleep all night, and their energy was somewhat lacking. Fortunately, they didn't sleep once in a while. After seeing Emperor Wen Hui, everyone was obviously refreshed.

Fortunately, they were still a little sensible, and they didn't all rush forward, after all, the Queen Mother's body was still parked behind.

Doing these things openly in front of the dead... It's really not good.

"Excuse me." Emperor Wen Hui's eyes fell on Princess Luo Ya: "Why is the princess here? Isn't she feeling unwell?"

Princess Luo Ya smiled vainly: "Cough...the Queen Mother passed away. Although I am in the palace, I already feel guilty for not having time to send the last journey in the future. Now that my body has improved a little, I hurried over here."

In fact, not only the common people don't like Princess Luo Ya, but the concubines in the palace don't like her either.

Emperor Wen Hui liked beautiful women, so every concubine in his harem was as beautiful as a flower, but after all, there was only one man in the palace, so compared with Princess Luoya, these concubines still lacked something.

For example, how to manipulate men.

"The princess is suffering, come and give the princess a seat."

The emperor is still standing, how could she dare to sit.

So she hurriedly said: "Thank you for your majesty's kindness, but I have always admired the empress dowager in my heart, now I can't see the empress dowager's face, I feel extremely sad, my majesty, Xu Bengong should kneel down."

Emperor Wen Hui hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, since Princess Luo Ya has such a heart, I don't have much to say, An Decai, give the princess some extra cushions."

Ender said yes.

Xiao Che stayed in the corner, because the place was really hidden, so everyone didn't pay much attention to him for a while.

Princess Luo Ya searched her eyes, but she didn't see Xiao Che, so she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

And Emperor Wen Hui has been paying attention to Princess Luo Ya, and seeing her expression, he naturally understands her thoughts.

While loathing Xiao Che even more, at the same time he was determined to win Princess Luo Ya's heart.

Maybe this is a man who fails everywhere, and must prove his strong determination in certain things.

"If you're tired, it's okay to take a rest first, and always take care of yourself."

Emperor Wenhui said.

His voice interrupted Princess Luo Ya's thoughts, and she smiled at Emperor Wen Hui: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

The other concubines looked at Princess Luo Ya with jealousy in their eyes.

How on earth does this kind of woman who can do everything she can capture the heart of a man? ? ?
Let's talk about jealousy, there must be some, but more disgusting.

"His Majesty…"

One of the concubines was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Emperor Wen Hui: "Shut up, this is in the mourning hall of the empress, do you want to disturb the empress?"

These words are a bit gloomy, but they are definitely useful.

Those concubines got goosebumps when they heard the words and thought about it.

You said that if the corpse was a fraud, wouldn't they be the first to die?

Some things really can’t be imagined, because the more you think about it, the more terrifying you will feel. The unknown is constantly being superimposed in your imagination. You know that it runs counter to reality, but you still can’t help but feel fear.

But people are like this, the more you control yourself not to think about it, the more it will deepen the inherent impression.

Especially things about ghosts and gods.

It's just that Emperor Wen Hui's attitude towards the two is too different. It's hard not to think about this ambiguous attitude.

The eyes of the ministers lingered between them for a while, and finally they just smiled contemptuously.

Emperor Wen Hui sat in front of the mourning hall for more than an hour. Seeing that he was so impatient, a minister took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, is the dragon sick?"

The steps are brought to your eyes, if he doesn't go down again, he will be a fool.

So Emperor Wen Hui followed his words and said, "This head...is really dizzy."

So the minister immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is important to take care of the dragon's body. If the Empress Dowager is still here, I must hope that Your Majesty is safe and sound."

Emperor Wen Hui made a look of embarrassment, and the other ministers also agreed after seeing this: "Yes, Your Majesty, the most important thing is to take care of the dragon's body."

Princess Luo Ya also advised appropriately: "Your Majesty is the lord of a country, and every move you make is related to the people of Liming. If your Majesty is tired, it will naturally damage the fortune of the country. I hope your Majesty will put the overall situation first."

All of a sudden, the height of the question was raised, and Emperor Wen Hui was very satisfied: "Since this is the case, I will not insist on it anymore. If Princess Luo Ya can't bear it, she can go back earlier."

Daoist Zhan Ning was still doing things outside, the voice really disturbed the people who heard it.

Shen Xi also sat down, because she had bad "legs and feet", Emperor Wen Hui gave her the permission to sit cross-legged, and when other people looked for excuses to be lazy, they were all kicked back.

Although the concubines were jealous, they silently swallowed that breath because of the Prince Regent's face.

It's really crazy, who has a brain problem to provoke that evil spirit?
No more brains?
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I know."

Afterwards, Emperor Wen Hui was very satisfied and prepared to take people away.

Shen Xi was in a position where Xiao Che could be seen. Seeing that Emperor Wen Hui was about to leave, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Che.

Sitting behind the curtain, Xiao Che really couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Then I'll go first."

Everyone stood up respectfully, looking at the back of Emperor Wen Hui leaving, the emotions in their eyes really don't know how to describe.

Shen Xi wanted to get up too, but after sitting for too long, her legs felt a little numb, so she was helped by Shuqin, and she couldn't sit back for a while.

He simply didn't go back, and walked to Xiao Che's side with his legs propped up.

There is still a place beside Xiao Che: "What's wrong?"

Shen Xi rubbed her legs and said with a bitter face: "...the legs are numb."

It was only then that everyone noticed that there was a Prince Regent in the corner. Xiao Che went in when the concubines were going to have breakfast, and has been sitting silently until now.

Seeing Xiao Che's appearance, everyone couldn't help being afraid...

Fortunately, I didn't say anything good or bad about Shen Xi just now.

"Go home and rest for a while."

Xiao Che directly helped her decide.

In fact, Shen Xi didn't want to stay here either, but she didn't want to leave anyone with something to talk about.

"But……"

What Shen Xi wanted to say, Xiao Che had already said: "Your body is important."

"Ok."

Although the court was only three days away, there were still important matters to be dealt with, so Xiao Che only came for one morning and went back at noon.

Yesterday, with Shen Changming here, Xiao Che could leave with peace of mind, but today Shen Changming went out to work, how could Xiao Che let Shen Xi stay in the palace alone?
Xiao Che will not do things like Emperor Wen Hui, everyone has to find a reason for him, and the steps should be put away for him, Xiao Che, if he wants to do it, he will do it.

Anyway, no one dared to say no.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Everyone watched Emperor Wen Hui leave, and then watched Xiao Che leave with Shen Xi.

The former also knew how to do superficial work, while the latter didn't even do superficial work, and just left.

But they also have that kind of capital.

Emperor Wen Hui was not too surprised when he knew that Shen Xi was out of the palace, but he was already surprised that Shen Xi didn't say she was sick.

When Shen Xi followed Xiao Che out, she couldn't help pulling Xiao Che's sleeve when she saw Daoist Zhan Ning doing something at the door.

Then she leaned into his ear and said, "Husband, don't tell me, he looks like this... he looks like a magic stick..."
