Chapter 48: The Aftermath

Chapter Forty-Eight

Inside the hall, the lantern was hung high, looking at the almost dazzling white, Zhiyun hugged her daughter tightly and frowned, she has always disliked this kind of environment, others only saw the golden splendor of the palace, but they didn't know that the Forbidden City was originally a place to hide filth and dirt, standing here, the malice in contact with it was thick and heavy, and it was estimated that all the mages with strong sensitivity were not willing to stay longer.

At this time, a group of emperors knelt aside, in front of the gilt brazier, the paper money in it burned, the smoke that came out, so that the entire hall was filled with a layer of mist, everyone's facial features loomed in the smoke, even Zhiyun could not see very clearly, Honghao knelt behind Yinzhen, he was followed by Hongyun, Hongshi, Hongday a few little brothers, Hongday is still young, but the performance is much better than the brothers of his age, originally lively and noisy sex, but at the moment he is honestly kneeling, with tears in his eyes and pale face.

For a while, Zhiyun took her daughter and knelt three times at the gold-lacquered coffin together with a group of emperors and Fujin. Then a gong sounded, and after the ceremony, Zhiyun stood up and slowly walked out of the hall with the Li family.

Zhiyun hugged her daughter and kept kneeling on the stone steps outside, kneeling with the emperors until dark.

I don't know how long it took, the gongs sounded one after another, Zhiyun woke up, squinted her eyes slightly, and gently tapped her daughter on her shoulder with her hand a few times.

Zhiyun raised her eyebrows, looked at the nobles of the clan with mournful faces, and said in her heart: I don't know how many people here are sincere, the most ruthless emperor's family, but no matter what others do, Kangxi is really sad when he thinks about it.

Separated by the heavy crowd, Zhiyun looked at the long live master who had been kneeling on the futon, Kangxi was old, he was over ten years old now, the wrinkles on his face could not be concealed, his body was emaciated, his face was swollen, he only looked at the golden coffin of the Dian Hall in a daze, his eyes were fluttering but also sharp, and from time to time he swept the children who were kneeling on the ground and burning paper money, with no expression on his face.

In recent years, as Kangxi gets older, the emperors are getting older, even if it is an emperor through the ages, there is a little bit of powerlessness, in this world, he can really tolerate him wholeheartedly, and he can also tell the bitterness without scruples, put aside the burden on his body for the time being, and relax for a while, I am afraid that only the queen mother is the queen mother, and now that the queen mother has died, the blow to Kangxi is obviously not small.

I don't know how long I knelt for a long time, but when the sky was bright and the glow spilled into the Forbidden City, the etiquette was finally over, everyone left the palace separately, and Zhiyun also let out a sigh and took the Li family back to the house by car.

However, I don't know what Kangxi thought, not long after, the other emperors left the palace, but Yinzhen and Honghao were left by Kangxi and lived in the palace for several months.

It's just that this is of course Kangxi's emphasis on Yinzhen, and other emperors are envious, but for Ouyang, this is not a good thing, because Long Live Lord's mood is really bad, and even Yinzhen and Honghao, who have been following him, will inevitably feel great pressure.

There is no way, the queen mother died in the wax moon, and it will be the New Year soon, according to the rules, during the New Year's Festival, the queen mother's coffin is not allowed to be buried at all. Kangxi has always been filial, where can he endure the day of the emperor's burial has been repeatedly delayed, he is depressed, often angry, those ministers can't be persuaded, Li Dequan doesn't dare to persuade, the number of minions being beaten because of the anger has increased suddenly, there is no way, so the emperor Yinzhen, who is with the long live lord, is unlucky, according to the meaning of those ministers, reluctantly persuade it.

Fortunately, Kangxi still attaches great importance to Yinzhen, Ouyang is also a talker, not many words, but every sentence can be said to Kangxi's heart, and let the imperial doctor boil some tonic to calm the mind and nourish the body, and persuaded him to take it, plus Honghao also surrounded him from time to time, and said a lot of words in children's words, so he didn't let this banzai vent his anger on his children and grandchildren.

Here, Ouyang tried his best to comfort the emperor, but everything in the previous dynasty couldn't stop at all, and Kangxi's mood was always at a low point.

Don't talk about the New Year, once the Queen Mother goes, this year will definitely not pass, but just out of the New Year, there are people who are not long-eyed to ask for the restoration of Yinren as the emperor.

In fact, this matter has long been discussed, and Kangxi has also reprimanded it more than once, this time after all, it was a lot of anger, and the Hanlin Academy reviewed Zhu Tianbao, so he made the bird that came out and let Kangxi kill him.

Afterwards, Ouyang said that Zhu Tianbao was actually just a tentative knife, and there was fourteen behind him, and he died two years earlier, and Zhu Tianbao was sentenced in fifty-seven years in history.

More than a month later, at the beginning of the spring season, there was movement on the Junggar side, it seemed that there was a tendency to increase troops to the Tibetan side, the frontier was not quiet, it has always been a taboo, and it made Kangxi physically and mentally exhausted, fortunately, Yinzhen was responsible for the 'invasion operation' of the other world went very smoothly, not only that, whether it was overseas trade or business in another world, the income was much more than in previous years, and the treasury was full, which more or less gave Kangxi some comfort, so that his anger would not be vented at will.

However, because of the matter of Zhungeer, Fourteen ignored the funeral of the Queen Mother, jumped up and down and tossed endlessly, so that Kangxi found an excuse to reprimand several times, fortunately, Concubine De was still smart and persuaded in many ways, which did not arouse the disgust of Kangxi, who was already upset.

It's no wonder that he, for this matter, for the sake of military power, Fourteen has been planning for a few years, he is different from other elder brothers, he is an errand in the military department, he is young, and his strength is still very insufficient compared to other brothers who have been on errands for a long time.

The Qing Dynasty has always attached great importance to military merits, and how could he, a young, ambitious, and intent-a-king elder brother not want to make contributions on the battlefield.

After all, he is still young, and he can't compare with his calm brothers, and now at this time, even the old ten, who has always been reckless, has not jumped out to make a fuss, let alone Ouyang and the third and eighth elder brothers.

In just a few months after that, the court in Beijing exploded because of the anger of the Long Live Lord, and fell silent, and the emperor's elder brother and military ministers were walking on thin ice, silent like a cicada, and no one dared to act rashly, for fear of brushing the tiger whiskers of Emperor Kangxi and hitting the muzzle of the gun.

Compared with the sad Ouyang and Kangxi, Zhiyun of Yongwangfu is much better, just a series of funerals for the queen mother, she is the prince of Fujin, which is inevitable in the palace and the palace, and when the ceremony of the queen mother's burial is over, Zhiyun feels that he has lost weight at all, and the thin Honghao, Hongday and Genggen's three little brothers Xiaogege are shocked.

The royal children are precocious, and now they know that Eniang is hard, and they are quiet, even if it is Hongday, they have never been foolish about climbing trees and walls like in the past.

In fact, Zhiyun's body knows that her magic practice has never been interrupted these days, and the magic power has broken through in one breath when it reaches the bottleneck, and the magic power has grown rapidly and has become more pure.

Therefore, although the body looks thin, Zhiyun's face is excellent, and after this period of time, take care of it, I believe that it will not take long for the flesh on her body to grow back.

The days passed day by day, until Yinzhen received the order and buried the queen mother's coffin in Dongling, Kangxi's mood calmed down, and the princes and ministers also touched the cold sweat on their heads and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the wind and snow have long dispersed, it is close to summer, the sun is shining outside, the sun is just right, and the summer cicadas have begun to "squeak" cicadas.

Ouyang and Zhiyun were both light and nothing, and they were busy for several months, Zhiyun naturally plunged into the laboratory, Ouyang because he had a few days off, so he came over to help, and the husband and wife played two games for three days in a row, and tossed a lot of useful and useless magic props to practice.

Of course, the study of the space-time gate is still a major matter, but this is really not an overnight thing, if you want to find new plane coordinates, you can only look for a needle in a haystack, little by little, fortunately, both of them are calm, and time, for them, is never lacking, so there is no need to be anxious.

When the two of them tossed enough, when they got out of the laboratory gate, the children and daughters were already dissatisfied because they couldn't see Ama Eniang, Hongtian and Genggen were nested in Zhiyun's arms, and they were coquettish, Honghao pouted, frowned, and looked very angry, I was very unhappy, this young child deliberately put on a little adult look, to make Zhiyun so happy, but he didn't laugh at him, only hugged and coaxed a few words, and promised to take his children out of Beijing to play in a few days, which made the children not awkward.

In the afternoon of this day, looking at a few long-tailed magpies outside the window, Ouyang sat under the grapevine trellis in the courtyard with his daughter-in-law in his arms, holding a bowl of milk tea in his hand, taking a sip by himself, feeding his daughter-in-law a sip, the woman in his arms was much thinner, but her skin was smoother and more beautiful, and her figure was better.

"Don't move your hands and feet, they are all old husbands and wives, how can you be tired of being crooked in front of your children."

Zhiyun rolled her eyes, knocked off her father-in-law's hands that were becoming more and more unruly, and didn't expect to see this person's graceful demeanor again, Ouyang smiled, squinted comfortably, and looked at the daughter who was pulling the sleeves of his brothers from left to right not far away, being protected by a large group of minions, swinging on the swing, and making bursts of cheerful laughter from time to time, sighed: "This is life." ”。
