Because the Empress Dowager died of illness, not only the Chongwen Museum but also the Imperial College were temporarily on holiday. The emperor then issued an edict that people should observe filial piety for three months and not hold banquets or celebrate weddings in March;

Officials must observe mourning for six months and cannot marry or have banquets within six months;

The royal family and officials are the same, but the children of the royal family have to stay for twenty-seven months like the emperor.

Married girls should have been excluded, but because of the Empress Dowager's last words, the emperor also knew that she wanted Princess Yunfeng to take this opportunity to recuperate, so he did not add this clause.

If it is not added, then it is just a common rule that a married woman does not need to be filial. Whether you abide by it or not depends on each person's affection.

Aunt Dou, who knew the inside story, hinted to Princess Yunfeng: "Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu have to stay for twenty-seven months. The empress has always loved the princess, do you want the princess to stay?"

Princess Yunfeng's eyes were red and swollen as she said, "Of course I have to keep my filial piety. Why do you ask me this?"

Aunt Dou comforted her and said, "I'm worried that you and Jun Ma will get separated, but you and Jun Ma have a deep relationship, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm just thinking about it."

Yunfeng wiped away her tears and said: "They all can defend it, so I will certainly defend it. Even if he orders me not to defend it, I will still defend it."

Hearing these somewhat resentful words, Aunt Dou was startled and said quickly: "The princess has such filial piety and it's too late for Your Majesty to be happy, so why would you stop her?"

Yunfeng said nothing.

Aunt Dou could only sigh. Before the Queen Mother died, she gave Aunt Dou to Princess Yunfeng. Her original intention was to let her take care of Princess Yunfeng and persuade her, but now it seems that this task is a bit difficult.

She originally wanted to be raised by Princess Yunfeng.

After Princess Yunfeng cried in private, she turned around and went to cry in front of the Queen Mother's soul.

The emperor allowed the empress dowager to remain in mourning for forty-nine days, and then he personally carried the coffin to the imperial mausoleum for burial. After returning, the royal family began to observe filial piety.

Because of this funeral, many people in the capital fell ill. Of course, most of them were caused by fatigue and did not require medical treatment. However, Manbao heard from Zheng Gu that Jishitang often went out for outpatient clinics recently, and Doctor Ding and the others made a lot of money.

I paid a lot of medical expenses.

Man Bao just listened to it. At that time, she was pondering over the "Qing Sang Sutra" in her hand. The first few pages of this medical book were damaged. She could only take it to the Hanlin Academy to ask someone to help repair some of the words.

It's really sloppy, so even if you don't know it, you have to ask for help.

It's just that the people in the Hanlin Academy were also busy, and Man Bao didn't have much respect in the Hanlin Academy. He ran around for half a month to no avail. In the end, Bai Shan took her to ask for Kong Jijiu, and then Kong Jijiu took the two of them.

I went to see Zhang Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy. He was responsible for checking history books and recording records. He was very knowledgeable and an upright man. He had no other shortcomings except being too busy.

But when Kong Jijiu came forward, Zhang Hanlin agreed to help. However, he only had a slight understanding of medical books, so he could repair them first, but he would need full cooperation in proofreading later.

Man Bao got what he wanted, but unfortunately Zhang Hanlin didn't have much time and Man Bao was also busy. The two checked their time and finally found a time to come to the school team.

So Manbao became even busier.

Bai Shan is also busy. He has decided to try to take the Jinshi examination with Bai Dalang next year, so his studies will be very heavy. Not only Mr. Zhuang, but also Kong Jijiu deliberately made his studies more difficult.

Therefore, the homework of Bai Shan, Feng Zongping, Yi Ziyang and others who intend to take the Jinshi examination next year are separated from those of others.

Bai Shan dragged Bai Erlang along. He could keep up at first, but later it became a little difficult for him to follow. He wanted to give up. In fact, he didn't mind at all taking the same class as Zhao Liulang and the others.

But Bai Shan said: "We are brothers, we agree to share blessings and share hardships."

Bai Erlang was about to cry, "It's difficult for me, but not for you. I have to stay up late for the same homework, and you can still run to Man Bao to check the information. It's so unfair."

Yin You, who couldn't be too busy, smiled when he heard this. He took the same classes as them, but he never had any homework, and the gentlemen rarely questioned him because they knew he would not take the exam or even become an official in the future, so

He was the least able to understand Bai Erlang's pain.

Seeing his smile, Bai Erlang became even more powerless. He just lay on the table and felt sad for a while. Finally, he got up and continued to do his homework.

Although Bai Shan and Man Bao didn't say it out loud, he vaguely knew that they might go on a study tour in the next two years. It would be good to take a test before the study tour, whether they succeed or not.

If it works, I will go out to study and come back and take the exams of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, and then I can choose an official position; if it doesn't work, I will have an experience and I will have the confidence to go out and study, and it will be more or less focused.

He also wanted to go on a study tour with them.

Because they were busy, when the first snow fell in the capital, they were surprised that time had passed so quickly, and then the palace gave them an early ten-day holiday.

The students were a little happy, but some were worried. Zhao Liulang couldn't help but quietly asked Man Bao, "These two ten-day holidays were not at the right time. I heard that His Majesty also missed the big court meeting twice, and even the small

The court meeting has been postponed three times, Zhou Man, is Your Majesty sick?"

Man Bao said: "If you are sick, wouldn't it be more clear if you go back and ask your father? Or turn left and ask your cousin."

Zhao Liulang: "...If my father could tell me, could I still ask you?"

Not to mention the prince, he didn't even dare to ask if it was okay.

Man Bao said: "Your father didn't even tell you, let alone me."

Zhao Liulang actually thought it made sense, but he also figured out something. Your Majesty must be in poor health, otherwise Zhou Man would have said that the emperor was in very good health, so why bother talking to him about this?

Zhao Liulang felt extremely uncomfortable, so he turned around and left.

Man Bao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask Bai Shan, "When did Zhao Liulang have such a deep affection for His Majesty?"

"What's so profound?" Bai Erlang said, "He's sad that he can't go to Pingkangfang."

Manbao:……

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that he borrowed a thousand taels from us on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival? Didn't he take the money when he came to pick up his cousin for the flower viewing banquet on the 16th?"

Man Bao: ...she really forgot, who made the Queen Mother become seriously ill that night?

Bai Shan said: "He took the money on the front foot, but then he encountered a national mourning. Even if he had ten courages, he would not dare to go to Pingkangfang. It is still a national mourning, but the control outside is not so strict, although no one dares to act openly.

There is a banquet, but there is also a lot of business in Pingkangfang, so he must have had his thoughts."

Man Bao: "He is so courageous. What he wants to guard is not three months, but six months!"

Really, he is quite courageous.

Bai Shan smiled and said, "He is mainly reluctant to part with Jiangnan Shimei. By the way, is Your Majesty really sick?"

"No," Man Bao didn't hide it from his own people, saying: "But it can be considered an illness. The Queen is sick, and the Queen Mother died of illness. He is not in a good mood, but it's okay. Everyone can feel depressed.
