Chapter 540: Burial in the Imperial Tomb
"The Queen Mother, the Green Concubine should be buried in the concubine's mausoleum as usual, and the Queen Mother should be the companion. This is the list of burial items of the green concubine, please take a look at the queen mother. ”
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already done everything for the funeral, and now it is only for the burial.
Chunhua sent the list up, and Su Youyi glanced at it, it was all done according to the specifications of the concubine, and there was nothing wrong with it.
She thought for a moment, "How is the imperial tomb of the first emperor built?" ”
"It's already built. The slave maid still heard from the people of the Internal Affairs Office today, should it be time to choose an auspicious day to bury the coffin of the first emperor? You can't stop at the temple all the time. ”
Su Youyi suddenly had some other thoughts.
She got up from her seat, "You accompany me to Qianqing Palace to see Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi likes the hibiscus cake made in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace, you can wrap some and bring it over." ”
Chunhua looked out, "It's so late, does the Queen Mother want to go over now?" ”
Su Youyi said with a smile: "It's not good to go early, I heard Xiao Jizi say that Yuanzhi just watches excerpts every day except for meals, and now I just don't disturb him." ”
Chunhua thought about it, and ordered someone to put the hibiscus cake in the food box and took it to the Qianqing Palace.
The Qianqing Palace is brightly lit.
Xiao Yizi sat under the corridor outside the hall and dozed off, and when she saw Su Youyi coming, she hurriedly stepped forward, and wiped the oral test left by the corner of her mouth in a panic.
Su Youyi didn't reprimand, but just laughed, "Why did you take a nap here so early?" ”
Xiao Yizi was a little embarrassed, "The slave should die." Isn't this the slave on duty tonight, so take a nap while the emperor is concentrating on criticizing the excerpts, and the emperor is going to rest in the second half of the night, so the slave can cheer up 120,000 points. ”
This is an opportunistic method, but with Xiao Yizi's status in the Qianqing Palace, everyone will only turn a blind eye when they see it, and they will not be counted.
What's more, it's really a good way to cheer up in the middle of the night.
Su Youyi glanced at the hall, "The emperor is still looking at the excerpts, has he used the supper?" ”
"Nope."
Xiao Yizi shook his head, "The slave has been guarding outside the hall and has not seen anyone enter. ”
As she spoke, she looked at the spring flowers behind Su Youyi, and smiled when she saw her carrying a food box, "Did the Queen Mother come to send supper to the emperor on purpose?" ”
"There are some things to discuss with the emperor, and I came over when I thought of it."
As he spoke, he walked towards the hall, and Xiao Yizi stood sideways, and this time he no longer sat down and took a nap.
Yuan Zhi was looking at the excerpts in the hall, and was a little surprised to see Su Youyi coming, and hurriedly walked down from the top, "Why did the queen mother come over?" ”
Su Youyi said: "The emperor is looking at the excerpts, did I disturb you?" ”
"Nope."
Yuanzhi smiled: "I'm bored to watch, and there are many things that I don't understand, so it's best to talk to the queen mother." It's just that it's so late, I didn't dare to disturb the queen mother, thinking that I would ask the queen tomorrow. ”
Su Youyi asked Chunhua to open the food box, "The emperor is still working hard at this time, he must be hungry, right?" Let's have some snacks and talk about it, don't worry. ”
Seeing that it was hibiscus cake, Motoji pursed his lips and smiled, and the two sat down.
Xiao Jizi came in from outside the hall to serve tea, while drinking tea and eating snacks, Su Youyi said: "Do you know that the imperial tomb of the first emperor has been built?" ”
Yuan Zhi was stunned, "Is it so fast?" ”
He had seen the drawings of the imperial tomb, which were very large, and thought that it would take more than ten years to build them.
Su Youyi said: "The new monarchs of the past dynasties began to invest in the construction of the imperial mausoleum when they ascended the throne, so when the first emperor was thinking about the imperial mausoleum, in fact, the imperial mausoleum was already half completed. It's like now—"
Yuanzhi opened his mouth in surprise, "My imperial mausoleum is also being built?" ”
It is not uncommon for such things to be taboo and not to be told to the king in advance.
Su Youyi looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help but sneer, "Are you scared when you hear it, and think that you are only a teenager, how can you consider the imperial tomb?" ”
Yuan Zhi was a little embarrassed and revealed the topic, "What does the queen mother mean that the imperial tomb of the first emperor has been built, and the coffin of the first emperor will be put into the tomb on a certain day?" It just so happened that the funeral of the green concubine was over, and it was time to enter the mausoleum. ”
Speaking of this, Su Youyi smiled, "I came to you today for this matter." ”
She picked up the teacup, her entrance was slightly hot, and she put it down again, "Yuanzhi, you were still young when the first emperor was in power, and there are some things, I don't know if you understand or not." ”
"What?"
Su Youyi thought for a while, "Concubine Green is very affectionate to the first emperor, do you understand?" ”
Motoji was stunned, but he didn't expect what she was going to say was this, "I know something about this." When his father was seriously ill, Concubine Green was the most attentive one in the Qianqing Palace. Sometimes even Gao Qishou didn't dare to refute things, but she dared to dismiss them, she was different from the concubines in the harem. ”
Yuan Zhi could understand this, and Su Youyi was already relieved.
She nodded, "So I think, can we fulfill the infatuation of the green concubine and let her be buried in the emperor's mausoleum with the first emperor?" ”
"Buried together?"
Motoji was shocked.
He recalled the construction of the imperial mausoleum, "I remember that in addition to his own spiritual seat, the mausoleum of the first emperor only left a place, which was given to the queen mother in the future." The emperor and queen are buried together, this is the wish of the father. ”
"I know."
Su Youyi said: "But I want to fulfill the friendship of the green concubine." Left, but there is still a long time to wait until I am a hundred years, and then I will dig another position, so why stick to this? No matter how bad it is, I'll be buried in the mausoleum like Queen Jiang, why not? ”
And she was right.
But Yuanzhi always felt that something was wrong, "If you add a green concubine to the tomb of the emperor and queen, it is inevitable that the position of the future queen mother is not correct." If it is said that the queen mother will be buried in the mausoleum after a hundred years, then the wish of the father and the emperor is ......"
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
Su Youyi understated, "You know, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I don't think that being buried in one place after death can renew the relationship between life." But the green concubine is different, her family and her relatives will be comforted by this, isn't it a great thing? ”
She insisted again and again, and Yuanzhi had no reason to refuse, so she had to nod, "Okay then." Just dig one more position for the green concubine, and order the craftsman to leave the position of the queen mother in the future. ”
Su Youyi just smiled and said no more.
……
Hearing that the coffin of the green concubine could be buried with the first emperor, Prince Yong specially entered the palace to thank him.
"When the will was first made, her family entered the palace to thank her, why did Uncle Yongwang go in person?"
Su Youyi ordered someone to watch the tea on the seat, Prince Yong sat down, and said with a generous smile: "I know that they have entered the palace to thank them, but for such grace, I don't come in person, it is difficult to express my gratitude to the Queen Mother and the Emperor." ”
Su Youyi shook her head with a smile, "Uncle Yongwang, the first emperor trusted and relied on you the most when he was alive, and now that the new monarch has not been able to conquer in person, he has to rely on you even more." You are the emperor's uncle, everyone is a family, you don't have to be so polite. ”
