The emperor's funeral has a set of rules. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, the palace began to treat the funeral. For a time, the ministers, the concubines in the palace, and the wives who were destined to come to the palace every day to cry and mourn according to the rules.

After the death of the emperor, the Ministry of Rites was nicknamed. Of course, this nickname is very long, but later generations called him Emperor Qianyuan. Before Emperor Qianyuan died, he had issued an edict to the people of the Ministry of Rites, saying that for the sake of the people of the world, after his death, the prince would observe the ceremony for 27 days, instead of 27 months. Ministers observe etiquette for 100 days, ordinary people observe etiquette for one year, and after one year, they can return to normal.

Therefore, the crown prince succeeded to the throne twenty-seven days later as Emperor Longqing.

After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he respected Empress Chen as the queen mother, posthumously crowned his biological mother as the queen mother, and appointed the crown princess Chen Wenfeng as the queen. Bai Liangdi is a concubine, Ma Liangdi is a concubine, Wang Liangdi is a concubine, and Li Liangdi is a concubine. There are also some concubines in the East Palace, some of whom are nobles, some of whom are named Baolin, some of whom are named Chonghua, and some of whom are named Ronghua. Li Shuyu sealed Chonghua.

The emperor's funeral was carried out in an orderly manner, Chen Wenfeng was stationed in the queen's dormitory, Fengyi Palace, and the queen mother moved to Cining Palace. Bai Guifei lived in Zhaoyang Palace, and Ma Shufei lived in Zhongcui Palace.

Chen Wenfeng and the Empress Dowager managed the harem together and managed the funeral of Emperor Qianyuan. Many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were martyred, some concubines were also martyred, and the remaining concubines, except for most of them, went to the royal temple to become nuns. Only Concubine Xie Xian gave birth to five princes, and followed the five princes out of the queen to the palace, and he was named King Lu by Emperor Longqing. Although he was only twelve years old, he did not marry. But there is a biological mother to take care of, so I also went out of the palace.

There is also a Shihuang concubine. Originally, the princess mansion had been built for Princess Huichuan outside the palace, and Concubine Shihuang was going to follow Princess Huichuan to live in the princess's mansion.

However, the Queen Mother pleaded with Emperor Longqing, saying that Princess Huichuan was still too young, and Emperor Shi's concubine was also young, so she was afraid that she would not be able to take good care of the princess. So. Leaving Shihuang Guifei to live in the palace with her, Shihuang Guifei also moved out of the dormitory and lived in Shufangzhai next to Cining Palace.

After the suspension of the arrangement, Emperor Longqing began to officially ascend the throne. Proclamation of amnesty to the world. also released a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

News of the emperor's death. Spread all over the world, and some clans outside returned to the capital to mourn.

In the mansion of the eldest princess in the capital, the eldest princess has been seriously ill for a long time. Her two sons and two daughters-in-law waited in shifts at the eldest princess's bedside. At this time, the sound of the death knell came from the palace. Tian Zhenbian, the second son of the eldest princess, and Chen Yuanfang, the second daughter-in-law, glanced at each other and secretly screamed that it was not good.

The eldest princess is already sick like this, and she is in danger at any time, in fact, the entire mansion has already prepared everything that should be prepared. Now, it's just a matter of maintaining. At this time, the news of the emperor's death came, and the eldest prince mainly knew that their sister and brother had a deep affection, and they would definitely not be able to support it, but they were afraid that it would be dangerous.

Tian Zhenbian couldn't help but be a little panicked, although he had thought about this before. If ordinary relatives and friends die of illness, for fear of affecting the eldest princess's condition, you can hide it from her. However, this is the emperor's funeral, the whole world will be transmitted, the death knell will ring in the territory of the entire Great Chu, and the whole country will be mourned, how can this be hidden.

Listening to the bells of the city at this moment, Tian Zhenbian couldn't help but feel a little sad, while saddening the emperor's death, that person was his own uncle after all, and he had always been kind to their brothers. On the other hand, I couldn't hide the news, and I was worried that my mother was a little sad.

It was Chen Yuanfang who was the calmest, she reacted first, and said to her husband: "The bell ringing all over the city must be something happened to the emperor, but I'm afraid that news will come from the palace soon." I guess I can't hide it from my mother. Husband, I still hurriedly called someone to invite the imperial doctor to come over, in case my mother knew, she was excited, and it would be better to have a female doctor. ”

Tian Zhenbian couldn't help but nod secretly, he was still from his wife's family, he had experienced a lot of things, and he had experience, this was indeed the best practice.

Tian Zhenbian hurriedly walked out. At this time, Tian Zhenyuan and his family reacted. Mrs. Daejeon Ren couldn't help but let out an "ah" and panicked.

Chen Yuanfang couldn't care about being humble at this time, and told the grandmothers and maids around him: "You go and boil hot water and bring it, I'm afraid you'll need to use it later." Then he sent someone to quietly call the big maid who served by the old lady's side to come over, and find out the pills left by the imperial doctor for the old lady's urgent use. ”

Naturally, there were maids who were busy.

Chen Yuanfang then said to a grandmother: "Go and get the right cards, go to the warehouse and get the best ginseng, I'm afraid I'll use it later." ”

The grandmother hurried away.

Chen Yuanfang said to a maid again: "Go and call the grandmother next to the old lady, quietly, ask her to prepare the old lady's shroud and other things to be used that she prepared some time ago, Chong Chongxi is good." ”

The maid hurried away.

Chen Yuanfang said to the little maids who were waiting: "A few of you all went out to the second door and called the sons to come over, and a few of you went to the backyard to call a few girls too." ”

Finally, he said to the big maid who followed him: "You go and go to the mansion of the lord of Shuyuan, and ask her to come over quickly." ”

The big girl hurriedly went out.

Here, Tian Zhenyuan was thoughtful, when this matter came, the Chen family in the second room of the family ordered things in an orderly manner, but his wife could only be stunned. Hey, that's the gap. No wonder my mother loves her second daughter-in-law the most, and she didn't give her advice in private for this wife. I used to blame my mother a little, why was she so partial. In this way, the mother has a point. This family, in the future, I am afraid that the Chen family in the second room will be able to support it. Later, the emperor died, and if my mother had three long and two short. I am not a relative of the emperor anymore, do you have to think about it and make friends with the second room. After all, in the future, it will definitely be the world of the Chen family.

Tian Zhenyuan was thinking about it, Chen Yuanfang had already finished the assignment, and said to Tian Zhenyuan and Ren in a low voice: "Big brother, sister-in-law, should we hurry up and go to my mother's room to have a look." ”

Tian Zhenyuan reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "What my brother and sister said is, let's go quickly." After a while, the second brother should also invite the imperial doctor to come over, but the second brother and sister are thoughtful. There may be more things in the future, so please worry more about the second brother and sister. ”

After saying that, he actually gave a salute.

Chen Yuanfang was taken aback, hurriedly sideways and avoided the past and said, "Big brother is really polite." The things in this house are also our affairs, and if I can think of anything, I will definitely help my sister-in-law more. ”

Tian Zhen saw from afar that although Chen Yuanfang avoided the past salute, he did not delay his words, and his heart was relieved. At this time, the Ren family on the side could be regarded as understanding, and when he thought about it, he was afraid that the fate of the mansion would change in the future. After the old lady went, they could only rely on the second room with the background of the Chen family. Although Ren felt uncomfortable, this shape was stronger than people, and he couldn't accept it, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

So, Ren hurriedly said to Chen Yuanfang: "My younger brothers and sisters are the most intelligent, and my mother has always praised them. After so many years, you know that I am far inferior to you in this housekeeper, you must mention me more. When this period of time is over, my sister-in-law will personally prepare the table for you. ”

Tian Zhenyuan on the side listened to it and nodded secretly in his heart. Although his wife is not as capable as the Chen family in the second room, she is still sober, knows how to make concessions, and knows that the shape is stronger than others.

Chen Yuanfang hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law is polite. ”

Tian Zhenyuan said, "Let's go, let's go to my mother's place." ”

The three of them entered the eldest princess's room. The eldest princess has been asleep for a while, but at this time, she is extremely awake and looks much more energetic. Chen Yuanfang saw it, not happy but sad, this look is clearly a return to the light, it seems that the mother-in-law who has been with her for many years is leaving. It's really reluctant to think about it. The eldest princess is supporting her in this house. If her old man is gone, where can the Tian family still have such a status in the capital as it is today?

When the eldest princess saw that her sons and daughters-in-law were coming, she asked the grandmothers around her to support her, sat up, and said weakly: "I heard the bells of the city, but what happened in the palace?" ”

Tian Zhenyuan hurriedly said: "Mother is too worried, what can happen in the palace?" ”

The eldest princess said, "Don't hide it from me. This death knell is not something that can be sounded lightly. I've been sick for so long, but I'm still awake. This must be something happened to the emperor. Hey, actually, I had already seen the emperor in a dream just now, and as soon as I woke up and heard the bells all over the city, I understood. Rest assured, I'm not sad at all. ”

Tian Zhen couldn't hide it from afar, and said, "There really is no news from the palace yet. But the emperor has also been sick for a long time. ”

As he was talking, Tian Zhenbian had already returned. His expression was gloomy, and he was followed by the Imperial Doctor.

The imperial doctor confessed a crime, so he hurriedly knelt down and asked the eldest princess for a pulse. After a while, I went out to make a prescription. Tian Zhenbian and Tian Zhenyuan hurriedly went out to ask.

The imperial doctor said: "The eldest princess, this is the time to return to the light, please use the single ginseng soup." ”

Tian Zhenyuan understood as soon as he heard it. The royal family is like this, at the last dying moment, in order to hold a breath and explain the future, they will use Dushen soup.

Tian Zhen hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll quickly order someone to prepare." ”

Tian Zhenyuan on the side said: "Just now you went out to look for the imperial doctor, and my younger brother and sister have already ordered to take out the ginseng." This will make people cook it immediately. Is there any news in the palace? Mother just said that she already knew. Let's not hide it. ”

Tian Zhenbian said: "Just now, the palace envoy has come to the palace, and the news of the emperor's death has come. I have already instructed the chief butler to change the whole house into filial piety clothes and white lanterns. ”

Tian Zhenyuan said: "Okay, my brother and sister have already sent someone to notify Shuyuan to come over, and I think I will be there soon." ”

Tian Zhenbian nodded, he knew that his wife would definitely be able to arrange everything. (To be continued......)
