From Changchun Palace back to Yanxi Palace, she only left for more than a month, as if she had left a lifetime, everything in the Forbidden City became so unfamiliar, and she seemed to have never been here after walking back and forth countless times. I went to Yingtai for so long, and I didn't feel strange when I came back, but now Hongyan is walking on the endless palace road, and her heart is uneasy.

Fortunately, on this day, the emperor came to the princess's mansion to comfort his grief-stricken daughter, promising her that if she could take care of her body, she would let her daughter give her mother a ride before the queen left the Forbidden City. There is no one in the world who is more painful than their father and daughter, and only father and daughter can understand each other's despair of lovelessness, and Jing did not expect that Huang Ama would come to see her in person, and when she suddenly lost her mother and felt helpless from now on, her father, who had been counted down by her, came to her in time.

Yu Hejing is somewhat comforting, but if there is a choice, Hejing would rather not be able to count on Huang Ama for the rest of his life, so let her lean on Eniang's arms for the rest of her life.

When the holy driver returned to the palace, he met the concubines of the six palaces who came to Changchun Palace to cry according to the hour, which was everyone's mourning for the queen and also an expression to the emperor, but he did not expect to provoke the emperor's tirelessness, and reprimanded them: "The queen likes to be quiet the most during her lifetime, what kind of system do you make noisy here, you cry in the palace, if you can't squeeze out tears, don't fake it." ”

The emperor was extremely sad and in a bad mood, and he who had always been gentle to women, but he actually treated the concubines coldly in public, and there may be false feelings to respond to the scene, but those who are really sad feel uncomfortable. But at the moment, no one dares to worry about the emperor, and they really can't care, these women who have been with the monarch for many years are far more aware of the affection between the emperor and the queen than the ministers and the people, and the queen left so suddenly, which is to dig the emperor's heart away.

The emperor announced that he would serve for 12 days, and every day after that he went to the Changchun Palace to sacrifice wine in front of the spirit, and the last Qingque Boat that the queen took before her death was finally transported into the capital, and it was heard that it was to build a wooden frame at the entrance of the city wall, set up a wooden rail, and the wooden rail was covered with fresh vegetable leaves to lubricate it, and more than 1,000 people pushed and dragged it manually, and finally transported the big ship into the capital.

The Ministry of Rites because of the "Huidian" of this dynasty has no basis to follow, simply invoking the "Daming Huidian" of the previous dynasty contained in the queen's funeral, the joint title of the joint concert to ask all other provinces to follow the Beijing division of the funeral, the Tao is: the queen of Daxing is in the middle palace, the mother of the world, the sudden collapse of the world, is the day of mourning in the four seas.

The emperor immediately agreed, and the Ministry of Rites retained its reputation. Therefore, the civil and military officials of all provinces began from the day of the edict, removed the red tassels on their crowns, gathered in the public office to cry for three days, were not allowed to shave their heads for 100 days, and stopped music and marriage within 27 days of wearing filial piety. Ordinary soldiers and civilians, then take off the crown for seven days, during this period also do not marry and do not have fun, the subjects of the world are all mourning for the death of the mother of the country, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it is still unprecedented.

For the grand funeral of the queen, the emperor did everything he could, and ordered the funeral office to receive 300,000 silver from the household department to prepare for the funeral. Such a huge amount of money is only used for a funeral, recalling the unprecedented wedding of Princess Hejing in the old year, the grand cost is less than 100,000 taels, most of which also includes rewards for the princess and rewards for Horqin, but now for the queen's funeral, the emperor directly asked the household department for 300,000 taels of silver.

As time passed, the tears soaked in the Forbidden City were gradually dried, although the significance of losing the queen of the world was far more important than a little brother who was less than two years old, but the emperor would increase the requirements for funerals almost every day, so that the emperor's excessive grief began to be criticized. When the noble ministers went to Ningshou Palace to ask for condolences, several old princes in the clan had to remind the queen mother that they should persuade the emperor to mourn and stop in moderation, because this would arouse public resentment and be detrimental to the queen's reputation and prestige.

The Queen Mother heard it at first, but there were more and more such voices, and seeing that there was no major event in the palace now, everything revolved around the queen's funeral, and the silver flowed out like flowing water.

On this day, the sixth palace asked for peace in Ningshou Palace, and the queen mother reminded the concubines that the emperor should be persuaded to mourn, and the emperor should be persuaded to hold a decent funeral for the queen, rather than blindly using gold and silver to create luxury, and the queen was frugal and humble during her lifetime, which is completely different from the current scenery.

The concubines listened on the surface, but when they got out of the door of Ningshou Palace, they had to complain that the queen mother was too shrewd, and she didn't say this to her sons, but pushed it to them. If they anger the emperor, it is a big deal to be abolished and abandoned in the cold palace, the palace is just one less mouth to eat, and if she, the mother, can't get along with her son at this juncture, it will be a lifelong bond.

At present, the concubines are all dressed in vegetarian clothes, and there is no way to compete for beauty, white miserable people get together, and they want to find someone, and they can't tell at a glance, but the expressions on everyone's faces are different, and the people next to them are sad for a few days, and there are still a few people who still haven't eased up at this moment.

At this moment, Concubine Xian and Concubine Chun were boarding the sedan chair, and Concubine Yu held Hongyan's hand and said: "Fo'er wants Eniang every day, now that you are back, go and see her." ”

Hongyan shook her head and said: "I want it even more when I see her, but the concubine really can't spend her time on her now, and she still bothers the mother to take care of her for a few more days, if you really can't spare your hands......"

Shu Concubine on the side heard it and took the initiative to say: "Lu Guiren and I go to Jingyang Palace every day to help Niangniang take care of the princess, Hongyan, you just have to go with Concubine Yu, we can't help with serious things, we can do this little thing, and it can be regarded as doing a lot for the queen's mother." ”

Several people said that their eyes were red, but Concubine Jia hummed on the side: "This has been two years in a row and white things have fallen on you, the silver of white flowers is like dripping water, you can grab a handful of them for a lifetime, which is really enviable." ”

Concubine Yu originally had something to say to rob Concubine Bai Jia, but she didn't want to stare at her with her eyebrows raised on the side, and said coldly: "Even if Niangniang has the heart of a suspicious concubine, she really shouldn't confess at this moment, and the concubine advises Concubine Jia that if she thinks about the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, it is not too late to say these words after three or four years." The concubine is naturally frank and open, not afraid of gossip, before life and death, what is the heart of a villain? ”

Concubine Yu saw that Hongyan was so majestic, and was shocked that Concubine Jia was speechless, and sighed that Hongyan really grew more and more courageous. But she also knew Concubine Jia's temperament, so she didn't care if she was in a hurry, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop Hongyan and Concubine Shu behind her, and said to Concubine Jia: "Concubine Jia's words and deeds are too sad, if there is a place that collides with you, just look at my face, if my face is not enough, then I can only move the emperor out." I'm just asking you, is this the time for you to make a deal with us? No matter how important you are, you should always be afraid of death, right? ”

Concubine Jia was bluffed into turning pale, and she couldn't hold back a word, Concubine Yu asked Hongyan and Concubine Shu to go first, she was afraid that Concubine Jia's brain would not turn around and cause trouble, so she just watched her get into the sedan chair before giving up, and Concubine Yu reminded: "We are all people from the palace, the longer the years go by, don't say anything to set an example for the young, just say that this will be the next twenty or thirty years." The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother are the emperor's flesh and blood, and the children are all innocent, I only advise you to think about them, what should you not do or say at this time, even if it is a year and a half, you can't take care of yourself? ”

"You are ......" Concubine Jia swallowed the word kindness, but she just always knew that Concubine Yu had a good heart, so she couldn't swallow that breath, thinking about how she had treated Concubine Yu, and now people repay their grievances with virtue, and every sentence is tantamount to a slap on the face, which is more shameful and painful than really hitting her.

Concubine Jia sat in a sedan chair and walked away, Concubine Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then waited to catch up with Hongyan and Concubine Shu, and said to them: "The Queen Mother's words are certainly reasonable, but sisters must not mention it to the emperor, if the Queen Mother knows that she can't mention it, she won't want to put the responsibility on us." Although Concubine Jia's words are ugly, I am afraid that everyone will understand, but she can't hide it. ”

Hongyan said with a heavy expression: "In a few days, the Empress Niang's Zigong will leave the Forbidden City......"

As Hongyan said, the Empress Zigong of Daxing will be moved to the Jingshan Guande Hall on March 25, and the emperor will bring the princes and hundreds of civil and military officials to the sacrificial wine. And he promised Hejing before, if his daughter's health improves, he will allow her to enter the palace before this, and on March 24, Hejing really came.

No matter how Hongyan and Concubine Yu persuaded each other, Hejing still cried and fainted unconscious, pitiful that the fetus in her womb was in danger, fortunately the queen was guarded by the spirit of the sky, and the child was saved without danger, the emperor ordered the princess to go back to the house to recuperate, he said in front of Hongyan and respectful: "No matter how beautiful the funeral is, it is just for the world to see, Ama just wants everyone to remember, your Eniang is the irreplaceable queen of the Qing Dynasty." But you have to mourn Eniang, don't care about a fragrant glass of wine, you take care of your body and keep the child, which is the greatest comfort for your Eniang in the spirit of the sky. ”

Hongyan heard these words, Fang knew that the Empress Dowager's worries and the dissatisfaction of the noble ministers were all mistaken emperors, he was actually more sober than anyone else, he was not only mourning the queen, but also protecting her daughter and her people for his wife. This grand funeral is enough for the Fucha family to continue to stand in the court, and no one dares to bully the princess who lost her biological mother.

He is telling the whole world that his queen is irreplaceable.

On March 25th, the Empress Zigong moved out of the Forbidden City, the palace was crying, and the whole world was cleared, it was already a long time after the emperor sent the Empress Zigong away, Hongyan was extremely tired and rested in the Yanxi Palace, and the palace suddenly quieted down to make her heart uneasy, and at this moment she finally had the heart to think of her child, and hurriedly got up to go out of the door, and instructed Cherry: "I want to see the Buddha." ”
