The next morning, the sky was just dawning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the palace there was the melodious sound of the trumpet, followed by the dull and sad sound of the bell.
The sleeping imperial capital, as if it was awakened at this moment, the lights of every household were turned on, and many people wrapped in thick cotton coats walked out of the house, with air conditioning, and walked towards the direction of the Tianxuanmen of the palace.
Along the way, the people were silent, and a sad atmosphere lingered among them.
They sighed and regretted, lamented the ruthlessness of the years, lamented the withering of life, and the fall of a generation of heroes, which was a huge loss for the entire Qingfeng Empire.
The people's respect for the Emperor Changfeng is from the heart, because it is their blessing to have such a hard-working emperor, the emperor created a prosperous era and allowed them to live peacefully, and they are grateful to the emperor.
Today is the day of the burial of the Emperor Changfeng, so the people of the imperial capital got up early and wanted to give the Emperor Changfeng a ride, and many people came from outside the imperial capital, in order to see the emperor for the last time.
The bell rang mournfully, rendering a sad atmosphere, the crowd outside the Tianxuan Gate gathered more and more, and the guards guarded the entrance of the Tianxuan Gate, so that everyone was not allowed to enter, but the people didn't care, they just needed to wait at the door for the coffin containing the body of the Emperor Changfeng to come out.
In the Tianxuan Gate, the snow on the ground has cleared a wide road with the help of hard-working eunuchs, so that the team escorting the coffin can travel smoothly.
The prince was dressed in mourning clothes, his face was also sad, looking at the Daxiong Palace, behind him were many civil and military officials, wearing solemn clothes and wrapped in a white gown, in order to express his grief for the funeral of Emperor Changfeng.
King Yu is also dressed in mourning clothes like a prince, with a serious face, there are hundreds of civil and military officials behind him, but there are also strong people of the sect disguised as guards, even the strong men of the sect also express their respect for the Emperor Changfeng, because this is indeed an emperor who makes the people of their sect fearful.
The two teams stood on both sides, standing solemnly, in the Daxiong Palace, a team of court musicians wearing mourning clothes slowly came out, they played a heavy music, and those who heard it felt a little heavy in their hearts.
Xiao Meng was dressed in a military uniform, wrapped in a white hexagram, and stood solemnly with the delicate Ji Ru'er standing beside him.
Ji Ruer's face was extremely complicated, with hidden tears, she had been asleep for three years, and once she woke up, it was at the time of her father's funeral.
But Ji Ru'er looked around, wanting to find Ji Chengxue's figure, but found that Ji Chengxue was not in Nuoda Tianxuanmen Square......
"Where's the snowman, why hasn't he come yet?" Ji Ru'er asked Xiao Meng beside him in a weak voice.
Xiao Meng's heart was also full of doubts, Ji Chengxue should have successfully escaped from danger yesterday, today is so important, how could he not appear?
As the heir to the throne in the emperor's edict, Ji Chengxue should be more attentive!
Could it be that something is wrong?" Xiao Meng's eyes flickered, but he said to Ji Ru'er with a soft smile on his face: "It's okay, Cheng Xue may have something delayed, and it will come soon, after all, ...... He's the heir to the throne. ”
Although Ji Ru'er was still a little uneasy in her heart, she was infected by Xiao Meng's gentle smile, and the corners of her mouth also rose slightly, and she nodded.
Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong, sisters and brothers, stood behind them, looking at their parents' loving appearance, and their hearts were also very happy.
Xiao Yanyu searched everywhere, but he didn't find the familiar figure...... According to his father, it was the eldest brother Xiao Yue who woke up his mother.
And the mother had already told Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong all the things yesterday, and the resentment against Xiao Meng in their hearts had long disappeared, but they were full of guilt.
The court musicians in mourning clothes walked out of the Daxiong Palace, and behind them, Lian Fu, who was wearing white mourning clothes with his hair scattered and his face full of haggardness, also slowly came out.
Lian Fu's appearance was very tired, his eyes were drooping, his eyes were covered with bloodshots, and his breath was a little fluctuating.
But no one cared, maybe he was just overly sad.
After all, Lian Fu and Emperor Changfeng had a good relationship.
"Where is the third prince?" Lian Fu shook off the dust lightly and said sharply.
However, no one responded, and the crown prince and King Yu stood up at the same time and arched their hands at Lian Fu.
Lian Fu glanced at the two of them with deep meaning, and then began to carry out some pre-burial rituals, these rigorous but solemn ceremonies are the etiquette inherited by the royal family of the Qingfeng Empire, and every prince must abide by them.
"Next, please welcome the heir to the throne. Lian Fu shook the dust again and spoke.
But as soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials below were all talking about each other.
The corners of Zhao Musheng's mouth curled, and he stood calmly.
King Yu and the crown prince stepped forward again, and King Yu spoke: "The third brother has not appeared for some reason, even the chief manager, the time cannot be mistaken, let this king come to welcome the coffin." ”
"Where is your turn to greet the coffin......? It is also the main palace coffin. The prince glanced at King Yu coldly and said.
The two of them became-for-tat again.
Lian Fu sighed lightly, the attitude of the two princes is too obvious, since the third prince is not there, it seems that nine times out of ten it has encountered an accident, otherwise King Yu and the crown prince would not have sworn to stand up like this and fight for this opportunity to welcome the coffin.
But in such a situation, there must be someone to welcome the coffin, and even Fu is a little difficult.
"Steward, you decide...... My father trusted you the most during his lifetime. King Yu's gaze turned to Lian Fu's body and said.
"The two princes, please respect yourself, welcome the coffin, how can it be messed up, wait a while, if the three princes really haven't arrived, then the two princes will welcome the coffin together. Lian Fu said.
Yuwang was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled, Ji Chengxue definitely can't come, and waiting is useless, it's just a waste of time, although he thinks so in his heart, but Yuwang's surface work still has to be done well.
The same is true for the crown prince, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both looked away.
The passage of time soon caused the anxiety of the military officials below, and fragments of whispers came out from time to time.
Lian Fu glanced at it, and then retracted it, but he sighed in his heart.
"Even the chief manager, the third brother has not yet arrived, this is already a great disrespect to the father, how can such a person inherit the throne? The prince spoke again.
Yuwang is also not to be outdone.
However, while they were arguing, the corners of Lian Fu's mouth were suddenly raised, and his eyes looked into the distance, at the entrance of Tianxuanmen, where two figures came slowly.
"Dear brothers, I really worry you, I still have the responsibility of welcoming the coffin, after all...... I am the heir to the throne. ”
The cold voice sounded, from far to near, and suddenly resounded in the ears of the prince and King Yu, like a thunderbolt, which made them feel very incredible.
Zhao Musheng's eyes shrank, staring at Ji Chengxue tightly, feeling a little puzzled.
Ji Chengxue's side followed Xiao Yue, who was full of solemn faces, and they were all wearing mourning clothes, walking towards the Daxiong Hall step by step.
Soon, Ji Chengxue came to Lian Fu, he nodded at Lian Fu gently, and then looked at the prince and King Yu.
"I'm not dead...... Aren't the eldest brothers and second brothers surprised?" )
