Chapter 529 (1/2)

Qi Rongyue chuckles: ”fortunately.”

Xueer doesn't understand: ”what's the good news?”

She nodded Xueer's forehead and said with a smile, ”fortunately, you are blind, not me.”

Xueer stamped her feet: ”Miss, it's time for you to have fun, so you'd better think about something else.”

Qi Rongyue picked up the book again and said, ”don't worry, it won't work.”

The next day, Chu palace, Jinluan palace.

The Minister of rites, Lord Ruan, admonished in front of the palace: ”the emperor, the first emperor's funeral period is less than one year, and the whole country should have been mourned. But now, before the end of March, the city of Kyoto has begun to put up lights and lanterns, and the four sides are singing and dancing. Some officials, regardless of their ancestry and identity, marry wantonly without any sign of mourning, which is not good for the emperor.”

Chu Lian was formerly a prince, but now he is an emperor. How could he not know this ancestral system? He just didn't care, pretended not to know.

But he didn't expect that the Minister of rites, Lord Ruan, was brave enough to give advice on this matter in front of the palace.

But then again, his new emperor has just ascended the throne. If he doesn't do anything to set an example, the rumors outside will be more unbridled.

After Chu Lian thought about it for a while, he said: ”Lord Ruan said it's right. The ancestral system can't be abandoned. The national funeral should be taken care of.”

Soon, huangbang was posted to the streets of the capital city. It was forbidden for the people to put on lights and decorations, drums and dances during the national mourning.

At the same time, it is forbidden for officials of all sizes to marry during the national funeral.
