Chapter 422, Zhonggong dies
"I don't know if I was hurt this year. Concubine Zhi and Concubine Dun died one after another. Now I can't see the queen..." Empress Dowager Wu Ya frowned and looked very unhappy. During this period, the palace has never stopped. Concubine Zhi, Concubine Dun, and the queen are all quite strange, but the emperor kept silent and refused to tell the Ai family, just said that he died of illness. Humph! Although the Ai family is old, it is not as dizzy as old eyes!
Yao Jiaxin sighed quickly and showed a compassionate look, "What the Empress Dowager said is very much. I was thinking that maybe the Lama should do more rituals to remove the sinisterness, or maybe the Empress's condition will improve."
The empress dowager snorted in her heart, how can the queen get better if she doesn't even drink medicine? The queen is now determined to die, but she is afraid that she has done something that the emperor cannot tolerate, so that she will apologize for death in order not to implicate her mother's family.
Yinzhen accompanied Yao Jiaxin to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager today. At this moment, he was sitting on the chair beside him with a stern face. There was no emotion on his face, and his tone was cold and cold: "It is enough for the imperial concubine to have this intention, and birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable."
At this moment, the Empress Dowager Rui Madam walked in quickly and said with a sad face: "Empress Dowager, the central palace is dead!"
Yao Jiaxin sweated a lot, the queen died very quickly! Maybe she heard that Dunpin died and felt relieved, so she let go?
Although I hated this daughter-in-law very much, the empress dowager still recited "Amitabha", "Why are all gone at a young age?"
Madam Rui said, "Please beg the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has been sick for many years and has a life and death. I heard that the Queen Mother's remains are very peaceful."
The queen died peacefully... Sure enough, I knew that Nian had died.
Yao Jiaxin hurriedly stood up and said, "The Palace has passed away, I am going to mourn me as a concubine, and I will leave first."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "You go and do it. This funeral in the middle palace is not as busy as the funeral of two concubines."
That's right, the queen dies, that's a national mourning!
Yinzhen suddenly said, "Hongxing, Hongshu is still young, so there is no need to mourn."
Yao Jiaxin was secretly happy. The relationship was good, and it was a hard work to express her sorrow. She just ran to the Queen's Spirit and knelt down and cried. It took her seven days to make a fortune!
"Thank you, the emperor, I will go first."
Yao Jiaxin left Danbo Ningjing Palace, but did not go straight to the Liuyue Kaiyun, but rushed back to Bitong Academy first, put on the pure white funeral dress that had been prepared, took off her bright red lipstick makeup, and then hurried to attend the funeral.
She came a little late, and all the concubines in each palace had arrived. According to their position, they knelt in front of the queen's coffin, sobbing and sobbing, echoing in the Yue Kaiyun Hall. With white banners, white banners danced and drifted lightly, a gloomy aura filled with it, and felt like they were in the underworld.
As he complained in his heart, Yao Jiaxin had already walked to the front and knelt on the cushion.
Yao Jiaxin did not rush to cry, but turned around and glanced at the four concubines behind her and asked, "When did the Empress die?"
Concubine Yu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a veil and said sadly: "It was the time that I passed away this morning. When the Empress left, she looked peaceful. Please ask the Concubine to mourn me."
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but complain again: It seems that she is really peaceful...
Yao Jiaxin asked again: "Have you all the princes arrived?"
Concubine Qi hurriedly replied, "I have asked someone to inform you to go to the study room, and I guess you will be here soon." As he said, Concubine Qi said in confusion: "The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince have not yet entered the school, why didn't they come with the Imperial Concubine?"
Yao Jiaxin said lightly: "I am at the Empress Dowager's place just now, and the Emperor is also there. Suddenly, he heard that the Empress passed away. The Emperor said on the spot that the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are young and can be spared from mourning."
When he heard that it was the emperor's intention, Concubine Qi immediately became mute.
Concubine Ning, who was kneeling beside Concubine Qi, couldn't help but say, "Concubine, Imperial Concubine, my seventh prince is also young and weak. Can you avoid this tribute of mourning?"
At this moment, the Seventh Prince was kneeling beside Concubine Ning. The little man was kneeling in a ball, wearing snow-white mourning clothes, with red eyes, but he didn't hear the crying sound. I'm afraid something was smearing in his eyes.
In fact, which of the concubines present really shed tears? Most of them were tampering with handkerchiefs or sleeves.
Yao Jiaxin sighed, "I can't make any decision on this matter, so I can only turn around and ask the emperor for instructions."
Concubine Ning hurriedly said, "Thank you, Concubine."
At this time, several princes who were admitted to the school also arrived, and they were all wearing mourning clothes, as if they were dead mothers.
The princes' cushions were arranged behind the Fourth Concubine and knelt in a row. From left to right were the third prince of Concubine Qi, the fourth prince Hongshi, the fifth prince Hongzhou, and the sixth prince Hongxiaoxu of Yao Jiaxin. The seventh prince kneeled with Concubine Ning because she was young.
The fourth princess Hongli was also kneeling in an inconspicuous corner with Xi Chang because she was young, and just cried a few times.
The one who came afterwards was an external wife - the concubines were in the inner palace, so they were called an internal wife. The external wife was a married princess. The concubines of each family, noble daughter of the royal family, and the wife of the royal family, and those above the 8th century must enter the palace to mourn. According to their status, the positions arranged are different. If they have a low status, they can only kneel outside the palace and cry.
Those who can enter the hall to cry are all quite qualified. They cannot be blown by the wind or rain. There is also a soft futon cushion, so you can suffer less on your knees.
The princes, Beile and Beizi, who were close to the royal family, also had to mourn, but they could not go to the queen's bedroom to cry, but set up spiritual seats in a temple in the previous dynasty.
The queen is different, there are two places where mourn.
Yao Jiaxin looked at the almost time of the arrival of the person coldly, so she took out the veil from her sleeve and wiped it on her eyes. The spicy stimulation made her eyes turn red and tears roll.
After lying down, the ginger juice was applied a bit too much!
Everyone was sobbing in a low voice, so the hall was not too noisy.
During such sobs, a sudden burst of tears came out, "Empress! Why did you go?! You are in your prime! Why did you disappear in a blink of an eye!"
Yao Jiaxin looked back and saw that the woman looked in her early thirties, with a bit of charm. She was crying loudly at this moment, and she looked very sad.
"Who is this?" Yao Jiaxin asked in a low voice.
Concubine Yu whispered: "Mrs. Chengen Duke of the Ulanara family, Jueluo."
Yao Jiaxin suddenly realized that she was the queen's sister-in-law! She felt that Luo was a red-belly girl and was considered a noble daughter of the royal family. She married the queen's younger brother, and was the wife of Cheng'en Duke, and she enjoyed all her honor.
But now the largest backer of the Ulanara family has passed away.
Although the mother of the dead queen is still the family of Chengengong, the tea is cold after all, after all, it is not as good as before. Therefore, I feel that Luo is so sad and sad.
Yao Jiaxin said lightly: "Don't worry about her." Just cry.
Yao Jiaxin didn't expect that she didn't plan to care, but this made Luo feel more arrogant.
The women in the palace were sobbing quietly, but they felt that Luo was crying and robbing the earth, as if his biological mother had died, howling extremely loudly, "Empress! You are so unfair!"
