Chapter 28: National Funeral Interlude

On October 29, the state funeral was held, and the entire palace was shrouded in a white world, and all the clothes on everyone's bodies were changed into simple palace clothes, and the ornaments on their heads were removed one by one and replaced with a small white cloth flower.

The dark blue palace dress, wearing a white mink cape, a wavy hosta fixed hairpin on her head, and a delicate silver step, and a pair of small pearl earrings hanging on her ears, when she turned around, it was like a virtual shadow outside the world that made people feel unreal.

The ministers of the court and the central government stood on both sides of the coffin in white coats, and the voice of the mournful Zhong Yue sounded beside them, Kangxi walked up the stairs heavily in a wide dragon robe, when he walked to the queen's spirit, looking at the name on the coffin, Kangxi's eyes flashed with tears, he still can't believe that his queen just left, leaving himself and a newborn baby.

Gently raised his hand, Liang Jiugong beside him had already prepared three incense sticks for him and presented them to him, and personally inserted the three pillars of incense in his hand in front of the queen's spirit, and then moved his body slightly. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, the two most noble women of the Qing Dynasty, also came in person, and Su Mo'er behind her was holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

When the Empress Dowager and her entourage came to Kangxi's side, they handed the baby in their arms to him, and then the magistrate of Qin Tianjian came out to read the holy decree, at this moment, Kangxi destined a baby born less than term 'Yinzhi' as the first prince of the Qing Dynasty.

As a mother who lost his own relatives at birth, the prince is undoubtedly pitiful, but in this world, there are always so many helplessness, as people say, when you get something that others envy, you must exchange it for your most precious thing, and the prince pays his own relatives.

After reading the holy decree, the Empress Dowager took the little prince away, and as the mother of the Qing Dynasty, the child born by the queen was still in infancy, and Kangxi put the son of Hui Guiren Baoqing, which is now the eldest brother, for the queen.

looked at a one-year-old boy who had just returned to walk, and came to the queen's coffin with the support of Liang Jiugong, and at this time, the servants around him brought over the brazier that was about to fall. When he was under the guidance of Liang Jiugong, it wasn't until the third fall that the basin broke.

Seeing this situation, Kangxi was cold next to him, he knew that his heir was difficult, but now he actually wanted to let a child under the age of one fall for the queen, which made his face extremely ugly, and even at this moment, he really felt the crisis of having no heir.

After the basin fell, the palace concubines appeared, the leader was the concubine Niu Colu, the right followed by Concubine Tong, the left followed by Concubine Rong, as the only concubine Concubine Tong and the only concubine Rong Concubine, Concubine Tong was one step behind the concubine, and Concubine Rong was one step behind Concubine Tong, from a distance, the gap between the three people was very large.

They were followed by all the nobles, and as there was no distinction between superior and inferior, they all walked forward in parallel, but the eyes of everyone were attracted by the woman in white mink in the middle. I saw that she had a stunning face, a gorgeous temperament, and walked among those women detachedly, and when people noticed her protruding abdomen, they lowered their heads hesitantly.

Chang Ning saw the woman in the crowd, he felt a pain in his heart, he knew that he would never have a chance, but every time he saw her, his eyes would unconsciously fall on her, and he felt that someone around him pulled him, Chang Ning slowly lowered his head.

Standing on the high platform, Kangxi looked at the concubines who walked over, his heart was sad and sentimental, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the woman wearing a white mink cloak, and he knew that he hadn't seen her for a long time.

I remember that when he went to attack the three feudatories, she had just had a body, and now she is already so big, maybe it is because she has always been tough, at this moment, Kangxi suddenly felt at ease.

Everyone has a soft heart, Kangxi was pushed to this position from a child, he has always been very tough, he lost his father at the age of eight, lost his mother at the age of ten, and until the pro-government faced the dictatorship of Aobai, he never relented, but now the sudden death of the queen, his heart suddenly became empty, and now, he saw the woman who gave birth to a son for himself and was pregnant, this strange love made him feel warm.

When she came to the queen's spirit, the concubine put an incense on the queen, and the people behind also came out in turn to put an incense on the queen, and then walked to the side and waited for the wives behind to offer incense.

When this qiē was over, the Qintian Celebrant said a 'kneeling' civil and military officials took the lead in kneeling down, and the women in the palace such as Concubine Tong and Concubine Tong, and a large number of women behind them all knelt on the ground and began to cry.

On the west side of the people, there was a one-year-old child kneeling on the ground, and next to him was a five-month-old child in a heavy fur winter coat, lying on a futon.

When everyone was crying loudly, Baoqing felt that no one could restrain him, so he slowly turned his head to the child lying on the futon, only to see him look curiously at his smiling eyes, and his fingers unconsciously stretched out.

Maybe it was fun, the little guy lying on the futon also stretched out his fat little meat paw and pinched it on Bao Cheng's face, and this time the big brother laughed 'hahahahaha', and the little guy lying on the futon also laughed.

Hearing these two crisp sounds, the people who were crying loudly suddenly raised their heads, and the two little guys who didn't know anything were pinching each other's faces, and they were suddenly sweating profusely.

Sang Zi was also so frightened that she was sweating on her head at this moment, but she knew that her child was also inside, although he was not half a year old now, but if Kangxi was liquidated, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, she hurriedly got up, took a few steps forward, and knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty, it's the concubine's lax discipline, if the emperor punishes him, punish the concubine!" After speaking, her body fell prostrate on the ground, and her hands were pressed on the ground with some nervousness.

Seeing Guo Guiren get up and ask for guilt, Hui Guiren also hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground: "It's the concubine who didn't teach Brother well, the emperor wants to punish him, so punish the concubine!" After speaking, he also knelt on the ground.

Kangxi is very bad now, he wants to ruthlessly correct those two laughing people on the spot, but seeing those two little guys who don't know anything, what can he do?

Glancing at the two women kneeling on the ground, Kangxi knew that they were not to blame for this matter, but the queen was very good, these two ignorant elder brothers actually dared to laugh loudly in front of the ministers and women, such a crime could almost ruin their lives.

Thinking of the two elder brothers who were raised in their grandfather's house, it seems that with their background, how could they raise their elder brother well? The cautious Kangxi didn't realize that his heart had long since disappeared.

"The eldest elder brother Baoqing and the second elder brother Baocheng openly laughed in front of the coffin of the queen of the country, and I remembered that the two elder brothers were raised outside the palace since they were young and lacked discipline, and the eldest elder brother's biological mother Hui Guiren was grounded for three months to fast and copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen. The second elder brother's biological mother, Guo Guiren, remembered that she was pregnant, and was banned for three months from now on to copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen. ”

"Thank you for your grace!"

When the two girls heard this punishment, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

"Well, Guo Guiren will take the second elder brother back first!" Kangxi looked at her and said lightly.

Hearing this, Sang Zi hurriedly thanked him, then walked to Bao Cheng's side, hugged him, and saluted Kangxi before leaving.

Xu is Kangxi remembered that there were pregnant women here, so he asked those who were pregnant to go back to copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen.
