Ming's mother was surprised and said: "Miss, you are from the palace, how did we know each other?"

Song Qingjin raised her eyebrows and said: "Then you are wrong. I used to work in the mansion. Later I went to the palace with the old concubine and was made a female official. Now I come back to take care of her old man's funeral. Since As the nanny said just now, Nanny Ming, you do things very properly, so why don't you even know about me, an old man in the mansion?"

Ming's mother became puzzled; "The girl was really from the mansion in the past?"

Cuimeng spat at her and said: "You are so boring, Madam, can the girl still lie to you?"

Song Qing concubine tilted her body and said, "Nurse is so careless and sloppy in handling things. If I still entrust these matters to you, wouldn't it make everyone look down on our palace and see our jokes. I will also Forget it, if the nobles from the palace come next time, if you are so indifferent, wouldn't you want to disgrace our entire palace?"

Naming's mother shrank her neck and stopped talking.Song Qingjin continued: "The old concubine passed away just now, and I can understand everyone's feelings. Although it happened suddenly, everything was in order. You just need to do the things that you assigned to yourself, and let the old lady The concubine walks decently."

The servants agreed.Song Qingjin first asked the book boy to order and read the servants' booklets. Song Qingjin counted them carefully. The servants in the mansion, including the servants in the kitchen and the servants in the mansion, totaled two to three hundred people. If you want to do it well For the funeral of the old concubine, there are indeed enough manpower.Now it is thinking about how to make these people do their jobs well and conscientiously.

Song Qingjin said first: "You don't need to worry about other things. Just do your own job well. When this matter is over, your majesty and the prince will naturally reward you. Besides, your majesty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. The funeral ceremony is extremely important, if something goes wrong, none of us can afford it."

Looking at the thoughtful looks of the servants below, Song Qingjin continued: "So I would like to advise everyone. Don't think about fishing in troubled waters, and get some benefits. Once caught, the palace will personally punish you , when the time comes, neither I nor the prince will be able to protect you, understand?"

Everyone immediately replied in unison: "Girl, we know."

Song Qingjin said a few more important words, and told everyone to disperse.Go back and look at the things sent by the eunuchs in the palace.According to the meaning of the emperor and empress, the funeral of the old concubine will be held in the palace.The wives of all the officials in the court, those who have orders and ranks, have to get up every day and come to the palace to worship.Going back in the afternoon, there is Jue's House, which cannot open plays for a year, and if there are actors in the house, they will be dismissed.The palace also rewarded 1 taels of silver, and specifically told the old dowager not to be afraid of spending money on her funeral, but to look decent.

After Song Qingjin listened to what Ankang told her, she fell into deep thought.The emperor originally had good intentions, but the guests added officials and orders, which made her work a lot more difficult.Song Qingjin invited the housekeeper and two old nuns who knew things in the mansion to come, and had a brief understanding of the affairs of the servants in the mansion.In the end, with their help, the servants in the mansion were divided into ten teams, which were in charge of burning paper, offering sacrifices to spirits, and catering for foreign relatives and royal relatives.Tea, milk, snacks.The mourning halls for the lords to worship, the mourning halls for the female relatives, the mourning halls for the emperor and concubines, as well as the sundries used in the mansion, and the areas to be guarded by the servants, each assigned people to look after.

After Song Qingjin finished all these things, it was already night.She hastily drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and heard Baoxue and Cuimeng tell her to tell them to go to bed early and get up early the next day.Song Qingjin put on her clothes again, and said, "I'll go see the lord, you two will go to bed early after watching with the mother of the previous night."

Baoxue and Cuimeng immediately agreed.Song Qingjin went to the kitchen to get some fruits, and went to Xiao Yixuan's Xiaoxingjuli.Ankang was guarding the door, and when he saw Song Qingjin, he told her that since he saw the old concubine's body in the morning, he hadn't seen anyone or eaten anything for a day.

Song Qingjin nodded, opened the door and walked out.There was no light in the house.Song Qingjin suddenly turned around.He couldn't help but tighten the food box in his hand, and looked at the windows on both sides.Xiao Yixuan was dressed in white, sitting on the ground in front of the window sill, the cool moonlight shone on him, Song Qingmei looked at his perfect profile, just like a person in a painting.The smell of wine in the house was blowing, and Song Qingmei knew that Xiao Yixuan was never a drinker. If mother and child were to bond, and the concubine passed away, even a calm and unfeeling person like Xiao Yixuan would not be able to bear it.

Song Qingjin walked forward slowly, came to Xiao Yixuan's side, and said: "My lord, the concubine's funeral has been arranged. You haven't eaten for a whole day, so you should eat some at least. Don't overwhelm your body." She lowered her head Sound persuasion.

Xiao Yixuan didn't even look at the food.Naturally, she did not answer Song Qingjin's words.Song Qingjin had no choice but to sit on the ground on one side.silently waiting.In this silent atmosphere like a pool of water, she didn't know what to say.She wanted to persuade, but she knew that even if she said these words to Xiao Yixuan, it might not be effective.

I don't know how long it took, just when the tired and sleepy Song Qingmei felt that she was about to fall asleep, Xiao Yixuan's voice sounded next to her ear: "Qingmei, come here."

Song Qingjin stood up obediently, walked to Xiao Yixuan's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yixuan's voice was already hoarse: "Young concubine, tell me, am I a son who is not filial enough?"

Song Qingjin frowned, and immediately said: "Prince, you must not blame yourself. The concubine often tells me that she is lucky to have a son like you. She is very content."

Xiao Yixuan smiled wryly, and said: "If that's the case, why did Concubine Mu kill herself?"

Song Qingjin lowered her head, held back the pain in her heart, and said, "I don't know, but I think about it. The concubine, who has lived in the world for so long, sees people and things so transparently, so she can't make such a choice." .It must be because of purple."

Xiao Yixuan frowned.He closed his eyes in pain.His voice sounded from his ear again: "I used to think that as long as I walked carefully and counted ten steps, I would be able to protect the safety of myself and my mother, but now it seems that these plans of mine are not at all. It's just useless."

Song Qingjin frowned tightly, it was the first time since she came here.She felt sorry for Xiao Yixuan.I feel sorry for him at such a young age, so I have to hide my thoughts so deeply, and I also feel sorry for him losing his flesh and blood, but I can't understand why she died.

She couldn't help but stepped forward a few steps, came in front of Xiao Yixuan, and gently hugged his head.Xiao Yixuan suddenly came over, hugged Song Qingmei's waist, and closed his eyes in her arms.Song Qingjin patted her on the back lightly and said, "My lord, you still have me!"

Xiao Yixuan moved slightly.Song Qingjin squeezed out a smile and said: "My lord, please relax your mind. The deceased is gone. The lord is sad and his slaves can understand. But after being sad, you still have to take care of yourself. This huge palace, and Your friends and slaves will still rely on you in the future!"

Xiao Yixuan's voice was muffled: "Young concubine, I know. I will get better."

Song Qingjin gently stroked Xiao Yixuan's hair.At this moment, she suddenly felt that her heart softened.I don't know how long it took, until she felt that Xiao Yixuan was about to fall asleep in her arms, and then she let him go.However, Xiao Yixuan did not fall asleep.He quickly opened his eyes and turned to the window again.

Song Qingjin brought the fruit and went outside to pour tea for Xiao Yixuan.Ankang kept looking at her.Song Qingjin gave her a look, then turned to get a hot water bottle from the cold stove outside.Ankang knew that it was Xiao Yixuan who finally ate.My heart finally let go a little.Song Qingjin entered the room, lit a candle, and took out the snacks from the food box.He moved the lacquer table over and put the snacks in front of Xiao Yixuan.

She said in a low voice: "My lord, eat something. Get a good night's sleep after eating, and I promise that you will be much better when you wake up tomorrow."

Xiao Yixuan smiled wryly, and said, "Okay. Then I'll listen to you." Song Qingmei brought her tea and watched him put the hibiscus cake and peach blossom cake in his mouth.Xiao Yixuan ate a lot.Song Qingjin refilled his tea twice, waiting for Xiao Yixuan to finish eating.She called Ankang in.Serve Xiao Yixuan to sleep together.

Song Qingjin felt relieved.Watching Xiao Yixuan covered the quilt.She whispered a few words to Xiao Yixuan, and was about to turn around and leave.However, before leaving, Xiao Yixuan grabbed her wrist and said, "Young concubine, don't leave yet."

She turned to look at Xiao Yixuan.His beautiful eyes were slightly swollen now.Like a wronged child.Perhaps for anyone, losing a mother is a great blow.The same is true for Xiao Yixuan.He was like a vulnerable child who needed comfort.It also takes a lot of buffering and recovery time.Maybe I should accompany her.Song Qingjin had no choice but to turn around, sat down again, went to her side, and said: "Okay, then I will wait for the prince to sleep before leaving."

Xiao Yixuan nodded.Xiao Yixuan held her hand like this, and he didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.Song Qingjin only waited for him to fall asleep, then quietly took her hand away, asked Ankang to watch, and quietly returned to Ningshuang Pavilion.It was already midnight.Tomorrow, she will be ordered to come and go, and she still has to watch. She is afraid that she will not be able to sleep tonight.
