Although the grandson shed a little tears in the Yichun Palace, he was called away by someone before he could elaborate - Xu Xun At this time, there was no doubt that the emperor had died, which was a big deal! As a grandson, if you are free at this time, I am afraid that the people in the Taisun Palace should be worried.

Because it was clear that he died in a foreign country, it sounded more like something that happened on the way to return the army, and Xu Xun naturally remembered the Han King who was a vassal not far from Beijing. At this time, she complained a little, and the grandson didn't tell him that the emperor was wary of the King of Han, why did he still seal him so close? If we know that the news is in turmoil, will it not be peaceful for a while? At this moment of excess, it must be hoped that the more stable and the more haode.

However, because it is very close, King Han's every move cannot be hidden from the people in the palace. Xu Xun's worry, the emperor would not have thought of it? When Taisun came over for dinner the next day, he mentioned it lightly, "Now the main thing is to guard against one in the capital and one in Shandong." ”

The one in the capital is the king of Zhao who has a fief but has been delayed in becoming a vassal, and as for the one in Shandong, there is no need to say more, it must refer to the king of Han. Xu Xun asked while tidying up the vegetarian clothes for his grandson, "Isn't it time to say hello to the dining room?" ”

Because the news has not been sent back yet, the dining room still gives food of big fish and meat according to normal standards. After Xu Xun knew the truth, this seemed to be a little different.

Taisun didn't spread the plain clothes out now, but he had already begun to wear filial piety clothes under the outer robe, and when he heard this, he shook his head, "Ah Weng died in Yumuchuan, and there is a small one-month journey from Beijing, although he has already walked halfway now, it is still a little too far, and it is not good to leak the news!" ”

Of course, Xu Xun had no qualifications to speak about this kind of thing, so he had to continue to keep it a secret. The rest of the ladies in the palace seemed to be ignorant, Sun Yunu didn't talk about it when she was in peace, but He Xianxian didn't ask about the world, as for the princess, maybe she already knew, Xu Xun couldn't see it, but it was not easy to ask.

In this way, more than seven days passed, and the August was almost halfway through, and the emperor was close to the opening of the peace, and finally began to report the funeral everywhere, and passed down the prince's edict together, ordering the palace to change into plain clothes and wear white-headed flowers. The maids and concubines in the palace, the filial piety they serve is not calculated according to the five costumes like the folks, and they all serve the heavy filial piety.

It is not uncommon for people to do funerals, relatives or residual sorrows, and others have sung about it, in the final analysis, there are a large number of relatives in Wufu, and it is very common for people to have weak feelings. Xu Xun's father's clan and mother's clan are not too prosperous, and there are at least a dozen happy events a year, all of them are sad and happy because of this, so why not? But the atmosphere in the palace was not at all different from that of the people, and from the day the news of the death broke, the entire imperial city seemed to be overwhelmed by dark clouds, and fell into an extremely terrifying silence. Even if it was a rough palace maid who had never seen the emperor, there was a little panic on her face - the emperor was gone, and the roots of this Beijing city seemed to be shaken, although the imperial city was still this imperial city, but the people who lived in it were in a completely different mood......

Taisun has been sent to Kaiping at this time to meet the Daxing Emperor Longyu, Xu Xun and others under the leadership of Concubine Taisun, every day to go to Sishanmen to cry, Sun Yunu is only out of confinement is not in good health, can not be exempt from work, at this time there is no privilege to talk about. Unless you are too sick to get up, you have to go out to cry, if you can cry until you faint, then you can be regarded as very filial to the emperor. The female dependents are in the Sishan Gate, and the foreign ministers are outside the Sishan Gate, don't think that there are few ministers, and there are a lot of foreign women, and there are basically all palace maids and lieutenants who want to kneel, and those who are decent can also kneel in the Sishan Gate, which is densely spread out of the whole square, and when I cry, the cry is earth-shattering. Although Xu Xun has a small position in the palace, in this square, the kneeling position is very high. Arranged by generation, she is in the middle of the second row, on the right is the concubine of the Imperial Palace, and in front is Concubine Han Li and other concubines. Everyone looked solemn, and they cried loudly, not crying faint from crying.

To be honest, Xu Xun and the emperor have only met a few times, although they vaguely guessed that they were liked and valued by the emperor, and they were not grateful and honored in their hearts, but this kind of liking actually did not help her personal life, in the end, everything she had was still given by her grandson. This kind of slight gratitude and slight sadness were basically exhausted when Xu Xun knelt for the second hour - a straw mat was laid on the ground, and it was okay to kneel for a quarter of an hour, and kneeling for two hours, regardless of whether they had already worn thick cotton pants that were easy to kneel and worship, it was hard work for these concubines who were used to living a good life. It's uncomfortable to lie on a soft cushion for two hours, not to mention that the ground is so hard.

However, except for the little concubines of the Taisun Palace who secretly complained in their hearts, the concubines who came out to worship in the Taisun Palace were all solemn and couldn't see anything wrong. The emperor's concubines, not to mention, from Zhang Guifei down, all of them cried so much that their hearts and intestines were broken, Concubine Han Li cried so much that she fainted several times, and she still had to come out to kneel and cry when she woke up.

What a person thinks in his heart can't be hidden from others in the end. No one is so haode acting, in fact, you can hear your personal thoughts from the crying - the concubines of the Taisun Palace and the Taigong are crying as hard as they can and courteously, and even in the crying of the crown princess, there is actually not too much sadness, it is more of a relaxed, bitter cry, mixed with complex reluctance and grief. -- Speaking of which, no one can blame her for anything, for more than ten years, the life of the Tai Womb has been too difficult.

The crying of the princesses is more real, but this kind of realism is not as sad and sad as revealed in the cries of Concubine Zhang and Concubine Han Li. This kind of crying is very contagious, sometimes when Xu Xun is about to lose tears, listen to this kind of crying blood, I can't help but have a sour nose, and the tears will flow out naturally.

When such tears are to flow, there are actually not many, compared to the funeral of the rich family of the people, it takes seven seven and forty-nine days, and the arrangement in the palace is much simpler, because the Daxing Emperor will follow the old system of Taizu, and the funeral of Taizu can be regarded as simple, in fact, this kind of all-day crying spirit will cry for three days. But what is different from the rich house is that the rich house is crying, and there is no obligation for everyone to be there to guard, and they can still take shifts to take a rest. But there is no love to talk about in the heavenly family, and if you say that you cry all day, you have to kneel and cry for three days from morning to night.

After crying for the first three days, you can't go home, you have to rest in the yamen, and then you start crying day and night, and it is enough to cry once in the morning and once in the evening. After crying like this for three days, they went back to Dai Xiao to work, after all, in addition to the funeral of Emperor Daxing, there was also a new saint enthronement ceremony to do.

When the coffin of the Daxing Emperor entered the city, he wanted to kneel outside the Xihua Gate to greet him, cry again around the clock, and cry when he opened the incense case...... Ordinary people can get married after waiting for the order to be served for three days, and the civil and military officials will serve for 27 days, no matter when the order is made, and officials in other places who cannot go to the capital to mourn have to cry in the official office. Basically, after the 27th, you can return to normal except for work, weddings and other things that should be done, and there are no more taboos.

And this is not the case in the imperial city, all the crown princes and below have to mourn, those who come to mourn are given mourning clothes, those who do not come are sent to the fiefdom, the vassal king is served in the fiefdom, the princess is served in the princess's mansion, the palace maids, lieutenants, and concubines are all without exception, all of them are beheaded for 27 months, the heaviest filial piety. Although they don't have to cry anymore after the 27th, but filial piety is not removed, as early as the day when the Daxing Emperor's mourning letter came, in addition to crying, the grandmothers and the sewing room began to frantically make all kinds of plain clothes.

The people of a city are white, what kind of concept is this, plus from the day of the funeral, all the temples in the capital have to ring the bell 30,000 times, 30,000 sounds What is the concept? The whole city was almost shrouded in all kinds of bells from morning to night, and even in the imperial city, the death knells could be heard one after another. Xu Xun was already tired, and he became more and more irritable when he listened, and within a few days, he had deep dark circles under his eyes.

In fact, it's not just her, how can the concubines support it? In addition, the princesses and county lords went to Beijing to mourn, and the princesses entered the palace to cry, all of them had to be settled by the princess, and the princess also had to go over to help.

With them leading by example, no matter how tired others are, they can't say that they are bitter, Sun Yu's women have been tossed and lost several pounds, so thin that their cheeks and cheekbones can be seen, so they have to hold a salute, and it is easy to enter September, and the 27th is coming to an end, and they don't have to cry for a day - but they can't rest yet.

The funeral of the emperor is almost over, and the enthronement ceremony of the heir emperor has also been completed long ago - the country cannot be without a king for a day, and he has already taken the time to persuade him between the funerals. The edicts for the canonization of the queen and the crown prince have also been sent out early. It's just that after the Zigong Palace enters the mausoleum and the zuihou salutes are completed, they will perform various canonization ceremonies, that is to say, after a short break, Xu Xun and the others will have to change into the simplified dresses they wore in this extraordinary period, and go to participate in various canonization ceremonies, and go to the empress, concubines and even the emperor.

In Mama Qian's words, an old man died in a civilian family, and the family was still busy, what a big move the death of the emperor, if you don't toss your bones all over your body, the people in Shangyi Bureau can't be comfortable. Anyway, Xu Xun was numb for a while, and she didn't know anything about the outside world clearly - she didn't have the physical strength, so she couldn't wait to fall asleep when she returned to the palace after the salute. The people of the Shangyi Bureau told her when and where to wear what clothes, and she did what she said, and at other times, she tried her best to find a little peace to rest in the bell.

The day after tomorrow is the big day of the funeral of Emperor Zigong of Daxing, and it is easy to be quiet for a while in the past two days, and no one has the heart to visit the door, and they are all resting in each room. Because it is a mourning period - unfortunately, three years of decay means that at least before Xiaoxiang, you can't eat meat, the dining room is basically all vegetarian dishes, you can't eat more meat and grow your strength, Xu Xun doesn't dare to fall into this handle, you can't gnaw on any jerky, so you have to lie on the couch and eat snacks: seriously, the amount of physical labor she has this month is at least ten times that of before, and she wants to eat coarse tea and light rice, and it is normal for the amount of food to skyrocket.

Just as I was satisfied, someone from the Shangyi Bureau came there again, and asked me to wear filial piety clothes to gather at Shouchang Palace the next day, and bring a dough fan.

This is to meet with the civil and military officials or the clan kings again - although the defense of men and women in the inner court is very strict, but there are many state ceremonies, or the part of the big party, the female relatives have to meet with other men, for example, at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the past, did the six younger brothers of the grandson come to sit? There is also the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor suddenly came interested in bringing a few vassal kings into the palace to browse and the like, which is also something that cannot be prevented. According to the rules of the inner court, when the female relatives see a foreign man, they are generally not allowed to talk, and they all take a fan to cover their faces and avoid the side of the road - this mask really covers the whole face, so after Xu Xun entered the palace, he really didn't know what other men looked like, even if he was crying inside and outside Sishanmen a while ago. It's the palace maids, who can seize the opportunity to have a flirtation with the handsome young man.

Xu Xun was also a little puzzled: both men and women had to participate, it was a big occasion, and she had never heard of such a big etiquette beforehand. She discussed it with the two grandmothers while eating the cake, and the grandmothers didn't know anything, but on the second day, they dressed up and sent her away.

Because in the imperial city, it is a junior, and it must be earlier than the agreed time, the Taisun Palace and the people gathered very early, because the filial piety period can not take the car, a group of people rode into the Shouchang Palace in turn, Xu Xun also wanted to inquire with the Taisun Concubine about what was going on, and he was stunned as soon as he entered the door: the wide atrium of the Shouchang Palace was full of seats, and the delicacies were staggered and fragrant, and they were actually ready to get off the top seats of chicken, duck and fish.

But, isn't this still in the filial piety period......

The author has something to say: What is the purpose of setting up a seat~
