Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day for the late emperor's funeral to be carried to the Hengyang Imperial Mausoleum. The funeral was the most solemn ceremony.
Although it snowed heavily in Shengjing City, the government began making preparations a month ago. They were determined not to delay the burial of the late emperor, and the expenses incurred would surely be astronomical.
Jiang Fenghua was five months pregnant. Although it was freezing cold outside, fortunately the snow had stopped. Because of her status, she had to join the funeral procession. She had to overcome all difficulties to show the queen's respect and filial piety to the late emperor.
The Empress Dowager stayed in the palace to take charge. Now she had moved to the Cining Palace. She was quick and quickly vacated the Kunning Palace. She just had to wait for the craftsmen to renovate the place and Jiang Fenghua could move in.
When the late emperor is sent to Hengyang Palace for burial and returns, the emperor's Qianqing Palace will also be completely renewed.
Before Jiang Fenghua left, Xie Shang went to Chenxi Palace in person, "Ruan Ruan is not feeling well, so let me escort my father to the imperial mausoleum!"
Jiang Fenghua still wanted to complete the task assigned to her by the late emperor. She said, "No matter what, I will go to see my father off for the last time. I am ready."
She held Xie Shang's hand and said, "The ladies in the harem don't have to go, but I, as the Empress, must go. If I don't show up at such an important ceremony, I'm afraid people will talk about me." She knew that Censor Zhu would not miss this opportunity to take Zhu Yiyi with him.
Jiang Fenghua pretended that she didn't know about Zhu Yiyi and said, "I will take the two young ladies with me so that they can take care of Your Majesty on the way." After the burial of the late emperor, the young ladies can serve His Majesty in bed.
Lin Yu had also been prepared to protect her along the way.
Seeing her admirable filial piety, Xie Shang tapped her nose and said, "Well, the late emperor's funeral is indeed a big event. When the time comes, ask Nanny Wang to send more people to accompany him."
Xie Shang had been busy for a month and had lost a lot of weight, but his facial features had become more resolute and three-dimensional, as if he had become more mature and stable. "Your Majesty must have had a hard time these days! You have to take care of funeral matters and handle government affairs."
"You don't need to worry about these things." Xie Shang said gently, and then put his arm around her waist to check, "Ruan Ruan, maybe you didn't eat well, why haven't you gained weight?"
Her belly was showing, "Maybe this is a single baby, and the child is still small, so it's not very obvious. I will also fast for my father and pray for him. My father has worked hard all his life, I hope he will go to heaven soon."
"Thank you for your hard work. After these few days, Ruan Ruan must eat well and take good care of her body." He held her in his arms. Among all the princes and princesses, they guarded the mourning hall for a month, but no one could be as filial as Jiang Fenghua.
"I will not let your Majesty's precious son starve." Jiang Fenghua deliberately teased him.
Xie Shang said, "Maybe it's a little princess, a little princess as beautiful as Ruan Ruan."
Jiang Fenghua felt that she had a son, a naughty son. When she was pregnant with her first child, the two children were very well behaved and did not let her suffer at all. But when she was pregnant with this child, she could not eat or sleep well, and the pregnancy reaction lasted until the fourth month before it got a little better.
Jiang Fenghua called Song Jing, Tang Qianran and Gao Qingtong to her side and told them to guard the East Palace well. She also handed over the young ladies to them for management. She also left Hongxiu and Aoxue to take care of the two children. Yeying, who is now the captain of the Imperial Guard, also stayed in the palace to protect the safety of the imperial palace.
Lian Ye is a good cook, so she and Nanny Wang follow her around. However, there are also Nanny Xi and Empress Dowager Cheng in the palace, and the Empress Dowager keeps her eyes on the children in the East Palace.
Jiang Fenghua brought two young ladies, Zhu Zhenzhen and Zhang Jingjing, with him.
At this time, they were sitting in the same carriage. The outside of the carriage was filled with common people, all with grief on their faces. Emperor Hui Jing was crying bitterly, and everyone knelt on the ground to see the late emperor off for the last time.
Jiang Fenghua lifted the car curtain and saw the scene outside, and his eyes unconsciously became red.
Emperor Hui Jing was an extremely diligent emperor during his reign. Although the people did not live a rich life, they did not suffer much. Later, Emperor Hui Jing was in charge of investigating the case in Yuzhou and sent a lot of grain and disaster relief funds to Yuzhou. These silver and grain were all seized from the corrupt official Qin's family.
The stolen money embezzled by the Qin family was enough to feed the people of an entire city, which shows that he embezzled a lot.
In the previous life, Qin was not beheaded or his property was confiscated with the help of Qin Yunyan. Instead, he was treated the same as the Zhao family and took the initiative to confess his crime and pay money to avoid disaster.
Jiang Fenghua knew that these were not the credit of the concubines in the harem, but the means by which Xie Shang governed the court officials. On the one hand, he made him plead guilty, and on the other hand, he made Qin Yunyan a concubine, and finally even a noble concubine.
At this moment, she seemed to see a familiar figure in the funeral procession - Qin Yunyan.
Wasn't she demoted to a slave and then sent to the laundry department?
There were more than a thousand people in the funeral guard. Jiang Fenghua smiled. This most beautiful woman in Quanzhou was quite capable.
Zhu Zhenzhen and Zhang Jingjing looked outside at the same time and also looked in the direction of Qin Yunyan. Zhang Jingjing naturally knew her. At that time, she didn't know that she was the daughter of the corrupt official Qin. She only found out later.
Zhu Zhenzhen said, "That woman is so beautiful."
Jiang Fenghua thought to herself: Of course she is beautiful, otherwise she would not have had the capital to compete with Su Tingwan in her previous life.
Zhang Jingjing said, "The daughter of a corrupt official, every inch of her flesh was grown by drinking the blood and sweat of the people."
"Master Zhang, do you know her?"
"I don't know her, but I know her..."
At this moment, she suddenly stopped talking, as if she saw someone who made her blush.
Zhang Jingjing secretly watched Xiao Yu expose the affairs of Prefect Qin in public that day. She thought that Lord Xiao was so righteous and handsome!
"Miss Zhang?" Zhu Zhenzhen called her twice.
Just as Zhu Zhenzhen was about to look out the window, Jiang Fenghua suddenly lowered the car curtain and said in a deep voice, "The Qin family has been confiscated, and the corrupt officials have received the due punishment. Miss Zhang, don't always remember the past. Now you are the lady of the harem, remember to be careful in what you say and do."
Zhang Jingjing said respectfully, "I understand."
She just saw Xiao Yu and didn't expect that Xiao Yu went to Beijing to be an official.
Jiang Fenghua put Xiao Yu aside and her thoughts returned to Zhu Zhenzhen. If Zhu Yiyi knew that she had left the palace, would she attack Zhu Zhenzhen in order to grab this spot?
However, Xie Shang attached great importance to the funeral ceremony of the late emperor. He would not allow anyone to cause trouble at the funeral of the late emperor. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as punishment. In serious cases, the person would lose his head. Censor Zhu would not be so stupid as to let Zhu Yiyi compete for favor at this time.
Hengyang Palace is the palace where Xie's ancestors lived when they conquered the world. It has been built for two hundred years. Later, as Xie's power grew, they established the Shengjing Imperial City, but Hengyang Palace was also preserved.
