Chapter 459 Bad news (1 more)
Honeysuckle received the message as anxious as an ants on a hot pan.
As for the time, the prince and his team arrived in Kyoto City at most one hour, but she still couldn't find the right opportunity to speak.
These days, she has been using some medicines for replenishing qi, blood and essence for the princess, for fear that the princess will suddenly know that the prince's death will not be able to hold on.
"Why are you so distracted?"
The princess is cleaning up and will be in the palace to worship the queen mother in a while. She should have entered the palace long ago, but she has been dragged until now. She just thought that her son would come back no matter what, but she has not seen her until now.
The time is almost over, so you can't delay any longer. It's inappropriate to go too late. Besides, she really wants to pay a good greeting to the Queen Mother and send her the last trip.
Through the mirror, looking at Honeysuckle with a worried look on her face and her brows were almost tied. Princess Jing couldn't help but ask.
Honeysuckle looked at the princess in mourning clothes and pursed her lips, "Madam Cai, let me comb the princess's hair."
Madam Cai was naturally happy and quickly handed the comb to honeysuckle.
"Princess, honeysuckle combs your hair."
"Okay! Madam Cai looked at it. Although I don't have a daughter, I have someone to comb my hair...daughter-in-law!" These three words are indeed inappropriate to say carefully now, but there are no one around here. The princess also knows that Honeysuckle will not care about her. She also sincerely regards Honeysuckle as her daughter-in-law, so it's okay.
Madam Cai looked at the honeysuckle and lowered her head slightly. She was not easy to laugh during the mourning period. "The princess is right, Miss Wei is naturally not worse than her daughter."
"Princess, the honeysuckle is clumsy. Practice more in the future, so you can take care of it..."
What a daughter-in-law, Honeysuckle is really not in the mood now. In fact, Madam Cai has already done it. She just took over the help of sorting it out. When she picked up the white silk flowers on the dressing table and put them in the middle of the hair bun, Madam Cai hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "Girl, the princess is a junior, so this white silk must be left next to you. You little girls don't understand these things very well."
The princess also took a look and did not blame honeysuckle. It is normal for every girl to know these old rules.
"Madam Cai, today... the princess has to wear it like this!"
Honeysuckle suddenly had tears in her eyes. After saying that, she took a step back, bent her knees and knelt directly on the ground, and cried: "Princess, the princess died of illness... Please welcome the princess's body home by the gate!"
Honeysuckle cried in silence, kowtowed and said something, her body trembled a little.
With a clang, the comb that Mama Cai had just taken fell to the ground.
Princess Jing turned around and looked at Honeysuckle, staring motionlessly, with a trace of blood on her face, and she slowly shook her head with her lips shaking, "Girl, what are you saying? Just this time, don't talk nonsense anymore, get up."
"Princess! The prince died of illness... the prince has received the prince, and the prince has returned home!"
Honeysuckle crawled on the ground, crying and sobbing, and she couldn't look up to face the princess.
She dared not.
Princess Jing shook her body, her eyes turned black and her body was uncontrollable, and she fell straight forward.
"princess!"
Ju Nan reacted quickly enough to support her, although she was also shocked.
After realizing it, Madam Cai came forward to support the princess, and tears fell down her face. She must have heard it wrong, "Miss Wei, how could you make such a joke with the princess!"
This sound was a bit reprimanded.
"Princess, let's go and pick up the prince home!"
Honeysuckle slowly looked up, not daring to face it, and she agreed to the prince to take good care of the princess.
Princess Jing had no expression on her face, squinted her body and leaned against Mama Cai, staring at Honeysuckle, "Check the prince... go home?"
"Yes, take the prince home!"
Princess Jing heard the words of Honey Dong, suddenly closed her eyes and leaned against Madam Cai without humming. The house fell silent. Honey Dong was still kneeling with tears on her face and looked at the princess with a worried look on her face. "Princess...you..." The word "Jie Ai" could not be said.
To the princess, the prince is her other life.
Princess Jing did nothing, opened her eyes again, forced herself to push Mama Cai and Ju Nan away, looked at Honeysuckle and asked seriously and firmly, "What you said is true?"
Honeysuckle couldn't bear to say anything more, and closed her tears and nodded.
Princess Jing withdrew her gaze and said lightly: "I understand."
After saying that, there was no sound, tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Madam Cai and Ju Nan were about to come forward to help, but she waved them away.
She slowly turned around, sat down in front of the dressing table again, raised her hand to spread her bun, picked up the comb and tied her hair up, and finally put the white silk back on the center of the bun, and the tears never stopped. The silent crying made people feel thrilled as they looked at her.
"Let's go, I will pick up the prince home."
After packing up, I got up to tidy up my mourning clothes, "Ma Ma Cai, take it to put it on for me."
The others are ready-made, and white silk has been hung in the mansion.
The princess's calmness made honeysuckle more and more worried. The princess' reaction was too abnormal, even if it was strong...
The princess is so worried that something will happen.
"Prince!"
Madam Cai couldn't resist it first, so she knelt down and cried! Ju Nan also knelt down quickly.
Princess Jing didn't say anything. She walked to the hanger and picked up the hemp squid and put on the hemp rope. Seeing this, Madam Cai quickly got up and served her, but she couldn't stop crying.
Princess Jing did not cry, but her tears did not stop and she could not help but be out of control.
Yandong stood up and stepped forward to support the princess, without any advice. This kind of sorrow cannot be resolved by one or two words of others. At this time, for the princess, she seemed powerless in anything. All she could do was to accompany her, pay attention to the princess's condition at any time to ensure she was safe and sound.
"You knew it a long time ago, did you?"
The princess let the honeysuckle help him and walked out of the house step by step.
"Yes, yes... The Queen Mother told Honeysuckle."
Princess Jing nodded, then fell silent again, and shed tears silently and asked nothing.
Honeysuckle held the other person and could feel the other person's body trembling slightly, but it was keeping it on.
Madam Cai quickly walked to the other side to help support her. Ju Nan wiped her tears and told her servants to follow her to pick up the prince at the city gate.
The prince is back now? The northwest is so far from Kyoto, why is the prince back so soon?
The servants were puzzled, but no one dared to ask more questions, and they didn't understand why the prince went back to Beijing to greet him, and they followed him in a manner of confusion and order.
Because it was the empress dowager's mourning period, the royal family also changed their mourning clothes.
A group of people like Prince Jing's Mansion suddenly walked towards the city gate, which inevitably attracted passers-by to pause.
Today is the day when the empress dowager leaves the palace. The people are already out early and waiting to see him off on the street. It seems that the time is not yet. Why did the people from Prince Jing move so quickly?
Shouldn’t you be with the Queen Mother’s coffin?
Everyone looked puzzled.
Before I could come back to my senses, I suddenly heard that there was a group of people coming out of the palace gate, and the leader was the emperor.
What's going on?
When the emperor suddenly asked Gou Xun to prepare and go out of the palace to welcome Prince Jing together, Gou Xun looked inexplicable. When he learned that Prince Jing was greeting, he was shocked.
In a panic, he ordered all civil and military officials to go out of the city to greet the people according to the emperor's wishes.
There is no need to hide the news at this time.
