After being struck by lightning and being in the world of women

In Chaotian City, Emperor Showa has already received Zhong Ruhuang's memorial.

Zhong Ruhuang simply explained that Xiao Ziran died after giving birth to a daughter, and did not describe in detail how he died.

The person is already gone, so why hold on to him?

Emperor Showa's hair has turned completely white, and the wrinkles around his eyes have become more and more numerous.

After reading the letter, she was silent for a moment and sighed.

"Old Five has a hard life."

He lost his father when he was young and his first wife when he was young.

"Let the Ministry of Rites take the funeral procession. After all, he is the prince's husband, so he should be treated with the proper respect."

Emperor Showa also gave many gifts.

The Mansion of Duke Cheng'en and the Mansion of Prince Bai also sent people to pay tribute.

The head of the Xiao family was very sad when he learned that his eldest son Xiao Ziran was gone.

You must know that Xiao Ziran is the bond between the Xiao family and King Wu. Now that Xiao Ziran is gone, even if the bloodline is left behind, it is far inferior to when Xiao Ziran was still alive.

The head of the Xiao family sighed and quickly rushed to Chaotian Pass.

She didn't want to end this marriage relationship, especially since she was now completely on Zhong Ruhuang's side.

So after much consideration, she took along her second son, Xiao Zihe, Xiao Zigu's younger brother.

She didn't expect her son to become King Wu's successor, she just wanted him to stabilize the marriage.

Even being a concubine to King Wu is acceptable.

After all, there was only one person like Xiao Ziran who was lucky enough to become the husband of King Wu.

By the time the Xiao family head and the others arrived at Chaotian Pass, it was already the end of October, and Fu'an had officially turned six years old.

The head of the Xiao family paid tribute to his son Xiao Ziran, who died young, and cried sincerely.

In recent years, thanks to the support of Prince Wu's Mansion, the Xiao family, an imperial merchant, has been living better and better.

People from the Ministry of Rites also arrived with funeral ceremonies.

The construction of King Wu's Tomb of Zhong Ruhuang began in the second year after she arrived at Chaotian Pass.

This is the characteristic of this world.

For royal nobles like her, as long as they have a title, their tombs will be built according to their titles.

She was a princess, so the specifications of her mausoleum were at the prince's level.

Zhong Ruhuang’s requirement for the mausoleum was that it did not need to be luxurious, but only needed to be sturdy, so the entire structure was made of black granite, which was very solid.

The main tomb chamber has been built.

As the original wife and her husband, Xiao Ziran was qualified to be buried with her in the main tomb chamber.

Therefore, he was buried in the main tomb chamber and the tomb was not sealed for the time being, waiting to be buried together with Zhong Ruhuang a hundred years later.

At this point, Xiao Ziran's funeral affairs were considered settled.

The people from the Ministry of Rites helped deal with Xiao Ziran's funeral and then rushed back to report.

As for the head of the Xiao family, he hasn't left yet.

She has also seen the child Fuchun.

Very sick.

Thin and weak.

It’s not certain whether it can be raised.

If anything happens, the last connection between the Xiao family and Prince Wu’s Mansion will be gone.

"Your Highness, I have an unwelcome request."

After hesitating for a long time, the head of the Xiao family finally spoke.

At this moment, Zhong Ruhuang was drinking tea with the head of the Xiao family in the study.

"Mother-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. Just say whatever you want to say."

She has no say on the matter of marrying a step-husband; her mother has the final say.

Even though she was Prince Zhenguan, the initiative to remarry was not in her hands.

"It's like this. A-luan is gone, and Fu-chun is still young, so someone has to take care of him. I have a second son in my family, who is Zi-hu's younger brother. He's seventeen years old this year, but he's still unengaged."

Zhong Ruhuang raised an eyebrow: "You are seventeen years old, and you still haven't promised anyone? Are you trying to challenge Qinglan's law?"

You should know that the Qinglan Dynasty had strict regulations on men getting married. The lighter the punishment, the more serious the punishment, the more likely it was to be a prostitute.

"Your Highness, you know that I only have three children. Two of them are not around, so I only have one left. I can't help but spoil him a little. I want to keep him for a few more years."

Actually, it was not the case. Wang was attracted by the wealth of Prince Wu's mansion and did not want her son to marry into an ordinary family and become a husband. She wanted the brothers to share one wife.

For this reason, Wang cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself, in order to keep Xiao Zihe, even if she had to pay a fine.

The head of the Xiao family was too embarrassed to say this.

Zhong Ruhuang easily understood what Patriarch Xiao meant. Besides, Patriarch Xiao had been working hard for so many years, so she had to give him a little face.

"Okay, let him come into the mansion and be a servant."

When the head of the Xiao family saw that Zhong Ruhuang agreed, he naturally left with many thanks.

The next day, Xiao Zihe was sent to Prince Wu's Palace in a low-key manner and lived in Luocaoxuan.

Today, the backyard of the palace is managed by the two concubines, Zhang Yufeng and Sun Pannu, and Fan Min assists them as the internal housekeeper.

They soon found out that someone had moved into Luocaoxuan.

Zhang Rufeng was not surprised when he found out that it was Xiao Ziran's younger brother Xiao Zihe.

This kind of thing is common among noble families.

If she doesn't want to give up this marriage, she can only marry another man, but the prerequisite is that they are of equal social status.

The Xiao family and Prince Wu's Mansion have never been a match, so Xiao Zihe cannot be the step-husband.

Unless he is as lucky as Xiao Ziran.

Obviously, this is impossible.

When Sun Pannu found out, she felt jealous.

It hasn't been long since His Highness found a new love.

And that Jiang, they are all vixens.

……

It is now early November and heavy snow has begun to fall at Chaotian Pass.

The main courtyard where Xiao Ziran lived was temporarily sealed off, waiting for its new owner.

Now serving as Zhong Ruhuang's servant and raising her legitimate daughter, Shishu moved with her child to the exquisite Luoxiaxuan. The house was warm with the heating on.

Shishu was loyal to Xiao Ziran and was also very good to Fuchun, doing everything for him and taking care of him personally.

Fuchun, who was originally thin and weak, looks a little fatter.

Because of Xiao Ziran’s funeral, the child’s full moon banquet was also not held.

Zhong Ruhuang was also afraid that the servants would not be careful, so she often visited the children and sometimes stayed overnight.

However, the secretary said that she had to observe mourning for Xiao Ziran, so she did not serve Zhong Ruhuang, and there was nothing between the two of them.

After a while, Zhong Ruhuang was no longer willing to stay overnight at Shishu's place.

Normally they would just visit the kids and leave, at most having a meal.

Shishu clearly wanted to stay with the child, so she naturally wouldn't rush to curry favor with him.

That day, Zhong Ruhuang visited Fu Chun as usual and left Luoxiaxuan in the wind and snow.

She didn't go to other people's courtyards, but returned to her main courtyard.

In Luoxiaxuan, Lan Shui, the personal servant of Shishu, had a confused look on his face.

"Master, why don't you try to keep His Highness?"

Shishu shook his head, "You don't understand."

His Highness had never had much affection for him, and he only favored him in the past for the sake of the prince's wife.

The reason he served His Highness was simply because he wanted to have a child for the Prince. If you could say he had feelings for His Highness, yes, he did, but not much, and he was not as important as the Prince.

What's more, since Wang Fu was no longer around, he planned to stay with Fuchun.

Now that's good enough.

He didn't ask for anything else.
