Chapter 353: Funeral
Lao Miao'er coughed and said, "When you walk in the aisle, hunch your waist a little, otherwise people will see you in the back...... It is easy to get ...... That one...... Bad thoughts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Shang Xuesleeve observed his kindness and warning, nodded in response, and then picked up the package.
As soon as she opened the temple door, the street was silent, and few people got up so early, so she turned around and solemnly bowed to the old temple.
Lao Miao'er was stunned for a moment, and then his chubby hands shook wildly: "No, no...... My old man would like to thank you......"
Mu Yu'er looked at this, then at that, and without paying attention to Shang Xue's sleeve, his hand covered his head, stroked it lightly, and said, "Kowtow to your grandfather, goodbye." β
Mu Yu'er didn't understand why he kowtowed, but he was used to kneeling in front of the statue on weekdays, so he knelt down with his small body, and Bang Bang kowtowed three times.
Only then did he stand up and look at Shang Xuesleeve, and Shang Xuesleeve smiled and said, "Good job, then let's go on the road." β
The child's mind is shallow, and he didn't notice that Lao Miao'er had tears in his eyes, he was a half-grown child, and it was the first time he wanted to go out, and he didn't feel that this was a parting at all, and in the still dim street, he jumped and jumped, and walked even faster than Shang Xue's sleeves.
Shang Xue's sleeve pressed her chest, it was given to her by the old temple at night, and it was his savings over the years.
Not much, but enough to warm her heart.
She called Mu Yu'er in a low voice, Mu Yu'er stopped, she walked a few steps quickly, took his small hand, and walked quickly along the Jing River to the west of the capital.

In front of the Xihua Gate of Liancheng Palace, when the sky is not bright, it is already snow-white.
Placed in the middle of the funeral palace in front of the door, is a huge Nanmu coffin, the front table is complete with offerings, the incense burner has been full of incense ashes, the ever-bright lamp is jumping in the early morning faint light, if you look carefully, you can see two palace maids looking like people are kneeling there mourning and burning paper money to the brazier.
On both sides of the funeral palace are all kinds of things that have been tied, nothing more than treasure cabinets, treasure pots, paper cows and horses.
The husband who carried the coffin at No. 100 on the errand had already put on his clothes, shoes and hats, and was waiting in a neat line outside.
There were also a number of banner-bearers, wine worshippers, and money-throwing servants, who stood there in a proper manner, not daring to turn their heads to each other, let alone look around.
At the two ends of this huge group of people were Luan Yiwei, and their expressions were even more solemn.
The officials in the Ministry of Rites who were specially assigned by the emperor to handle the funeral of Concubine Xi had looked around several times, and finally saw the heavy red palace gate of Xihua Gate slowly opening.
Their hearts are a chill, the emperor returned to the palace in early June, and the next day the death knell sounded, although to the people outside only said that it was the concubine, but how could these officials of the Ministry of Rites not know what was going on inside?
Concubine Xi Guifei is the folk woman who came from a humble background and the emperor wanted to be a concubine no matter what, and she also knew that the concubine had been put into the cold palace before the emperor dealt with the affairs of the East China Sea, and later the cold palace was on fire...... They didn't dare to think about it anymore.
It's just that the emperor is moody, and when a person dies like this, he remembers a good child, and all the funeral matters are handled personally, and he is very picky.
They didn't dare to ignore it, so as soon as the door opened, one fell to their knees.
Some officials secretly raised their eyes and looked away, only more shocked in their hearts!
The emperor wore a plain snow-white Tuanlong silver silk satin robe!
I don't even have a bright-colored pendant on my body!
The meaning is self-explanatory!
He was followed by his father-in-law and Mama Song, who were dressed in plain clothes, and they all knew that these two were now very important to the emperor in the palace, and the two of them accompanied the emperor into the funeral palace.
Lian Zeyu stretched out his hand, Mama Song had already put the incense and handed it to him, he personally inserted it into the incense burner, and then approached the coffin.
The officials were staring at the emperor outside, and the emperor's dragon claw was actually on it! It doesn't matter if this is not in line with the etiquette, no matter how much it is not in accordance with the etiquette, Concubine Xi will not be able to come back to life from the coffin - it is all a pile of white bones!
After a while, the leading official knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, and you should invite the lady to drive." β
Lian Zeyu was stunned for a while, Fang raised his hand and walked outside.
The white-brushed people in front of him came and went, busy, and at this auspicious time in the early morning, the coffin was to be sent to Xiling.
In addition to Ah Sleeve in the coffin, there were also their children, and he gave Ah Sleeve the name of "Xi Guifei", but he thought that she didn't care, and he wanted to give the child the title of king, but the Empress Dowager Xiao said that she wouldn't let anything.
What the Queen Mother says always makes sense.
He understands these truths, this child is almost the same age as Zhao'er, one has been crowned the prince, and he is becoming more and more white and fat by his mother and a group of palace people, while the other is dead, and it is inevitable that the world will suspect that the queen is not virtuous; Moreover, the three princes of that year were not crowned kings......
Lian Zeyu was like in a dream.
But if only it was really in a dream.
If he could dream of Ah Sleeve, he wanted to tell her...... Thinking of this, Lian Zeyu was at a loss again, he had nothing to say, thousands of sentences, in the end, he ignored her in the cold palace, in the end, it was him who harmed her.
Even if he thinks like this, Ah Sleeve is ruthless, and he has never dreamed once.
Lian Zeyu took a few steps forward, and his father-in-law coughed and said, "Your Majesty? There are no such rules. β
Mama Song also said: "The emperor is very affectionate, and the slave knows it, but this will inevitably break the blessing of the mother." β
Lian Zeyu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said, "Mama, can't you just send a few more steps?" β
The father-in-law hurriedly lowered his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.
Mama Song said slowly: "Even if the emperor comes to the funeral palace in person, it is already a rare thing, the old slave said something disrespectful, the emperor treats the mother like this, and the queen mother will have such a day in the future, what will the emperor do?" The emperor should be for Niangniang to accumulate some blessings, since Niangniang is going to enter Xiling, she should go first. β
The father-in-law couldn't help but admire Mama Song very much, and dared to say such things!
He saw that the emperor really stopped, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his sleeve, and also looked at the emperor's sight.
In front of them, white flags fluttered in the air, paper money flew all over the sky, and the servants carrying the coffin gradually moved away, and finally all of them were out of sight.
Such a line starts from the Xihua Gate of Liancheng Palace, crosses the Xicheng District of Shangjing, and then goes out from the West Gate to Yingwu Gate, all the way to Xiling, the road has already been paved in the middle, and the Lu Hall has been set up.
At present, the mighty funeral procession has not gone far before it has attracted countless people to watch.
Shang Xue sleeved in the crowd, holding Mu Yu'er's hand tightly, afraid that he would be squeezed out.
