Her crying caused the eyes of the princess and Yu Yuanzheng standing outside to become moist.
It was unknown how long it took for the three women to change Shangguan Zishu's clothes.
Three women came out of the mourning hall, each with red and swollen eyes.
Butler Li is very troublesome in doing things.
The death was reported to relatives in Beijing that day.
On that day, all the upper-class families in the capital knew the news that the eldest son of Prince Rong's mansion had died in the battlefield.
Almost all the upper-class families in Beijing knew that Young Master was the son of the third master of Prince Rong's Mansion.
But he was raised by the prince, and the prince kept him in the palace, which shows that the prince has no prejudice against this young man.
Some of the relatives of the couple came to visit one after another.
The first to arrive were Yu Yunxin and his wife from the Yong'an Earl's Mansion.
When they first heard the news, they couldn't believe it.
I hurried to the door, only to see that the gate of the palace was already hung with silk, and I had to believe it.
When we went further in, we saw the busy servants rushing back and forth preparing various items.
The mourning hall has been built and the coffin is placed brightly inside.
Shangguan Zishu's body was placed on the platform in the middle of the palace, and had not yet been embalmed.
When Wang saw her son-in-law's body, she lay on the table without any life at all.
She could no longer hold back her tears.
"Master, why is our daughter's life so miserable? What should we do in the future?" Wang leaned on Yu Yunxin with tears in her eyes.
Her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe.
Yu Yunxin couldn't say anything.
The son-in-law he was very optimistic about turned out not to be the prince's son.
But at least he was a disciple of Prince Rong's Mansion. However, he went to the battlefield and returned dead on his horse's hide.
His daughter didn't even leave a child behind.
How will I live in the future?
She is only ten years old.
The first people to arrive at the palace must be the prince and his wife of Prince Mo.
"Oh my God, God is so unfair!" The Crown Prince's wife Luo Xinyi howled as soon as she saw the body.
She saw her daughter standing beside him like a wooden sculpture, and her heart ached beyond words.
The daughter she raised with great care ended up marrying a man who died young, and was destined to be a widow from then on.
How could she not feel heartbroken?
When Cao Nanhua saw his mother coming, the sadness that had been suppressed for so long surged up in his heart again. He threw himself into Luo Xinyi's arms and burst into tears.
The mother and daughter cried louder than each other.
Luo Xinyi was not crying for Shangguan Zishu's death, but for Cao Nanhua's future fate.
In addition to crying for her husband's death, Cao Nanhua also cried for her own unfortunate fate.
But Yu Chaoyang has calmed down.
Seeing her daughter so calm, Wang found it difficult to wipe away her tears and could only find some words to comfort her.
"Don't worry, mom. I'm fine." Yu Chaoyang comforted Wang instead.
In the palace, the third prince reported to the emperor in detail how Shangguan Zishu died and his performance at the border.
"Third brother, have you gained strength from your trip to the border?" After listening to the third prince, the emperor asked about his experience of the trip.
"Father, I have also killed a few enemies with my cousin, but my martial arts are not as good as my cousin, so I didn't kill as many as my cousin. But I did come up with several good ideas during the discussion."
The Third Prince was self-aware, and he did not dare to act rashly. General Chen would submit a memorial to his father every half a month, so he knew everything.
"Okay, go downstairs and see your mother." The emperor had nothing else to ask.
He just went out to gain some experience, but he didn't achieve anything, and he's still afraid of death.
He knows his son thoroughly.
The old man is much smarter than him. At least he doesn't think highly of himself.
After the third prince left, the emperor wandered around in the study.
Shangguan Zishu's identity made him feel uncomfortable.
But he is indeed the old prince's grandson.
Now he died on the battlefield to defend Wei.
For this reason alone, his achievements cannot be ignored just because he has the blood of an enemy princess in his veins.
Moreover, his identity cannot be made public.
Until now, not many people know that Shangguan Zishu is the son of a princess from an enemy country.
If this matter were to be known to the world, it would bring disgrace upon the old prince.
The image of Prince Rong’s Mansion in the hearts of the people cannot be destroyed.
He thought about it and finally made up his mind.
He wrote down an imperial decree and asked the eunuch to deliver it to Prince Tang's palace.
When the imperial edict arrived at the palace, all the masters of the palace came to the mourning hall.
The young eunuch did not say much and just continued to announce the decree.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:
Shangguan Zishu of the Rongwang Mansion, with a pure heart, is determined to serve his country. When the Canglan bandits invaded our border, he volunteered to join the charge and led the charge.
Things in the world are unpredictable and heroes have short lives. Shangguan Zishu was unfortunately seriously injured in the heroic battle to defend his country, but he still stood firm, killed several enemies, and finally died of exhaustion, leaving the battlefield stained with blood.
His loyalty and heroic deeds are witnessed by heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are filled with grief.
When I heard the news, I was heartbroken. Thinking of his merits and moved by his loyalty and bravery, I specially issued an award: Shangguan Zishu was posthumously named "General Zhongwu" and given the posthumous title "Lie" to commend his immortal merits and promote his loyalty and bravery.
This edict has been issued, and the whole world knows about it. Please obey it!"
Hearing the emperor praising Shangguan Zishu so highly, Yu Yunxin and his wife felt a little relieved. With this reputation, the Yu Chaoyang Palace would be able to stand firm in the future and would not be looked down upon by others.
In the future, I will raise the child well so that she will have someone to rely on.
However, Prince Mo and his wife were not very happy. With such reputation, wouldn't their daughter be locked up in Prince Mo's Palace?
It will be difficult for them to implement any plans they have in the future.
After the young eunuch left, Steward Li directed the preparation of the young master's body for burial.
He had someone buy a better coffin.
On the next day, Steward Li invited several monks to the palace to set up an altar and chant scriptures to pray for the souls of the deceased.
Afterwards, there was a wake and an endless stream of condolences.
Thanks to the imperial edict issued personally by the emperor, almost all the famous families in the capital showed up to express their condolences, and there was a solemn atmosphere inside and outside the palace.
Yu Chaoyang and Cao Nanhua kept vigil.
Yu Chaoyang also brought Yin Ling's child to raise together.
Take the child away when he wants to eat or drink.
This is my husband's only flesh and blood. Having this child will allow my husband to leave with peace of mind.
He was buried in the Shangguan family’s ancestral tomb seven days later.
He was buried next to Luo Shi. This was Yu Chaoyang's request.
She said that the young master would definitely like to be with the mother who raised him.
From then on, Yu Chaoyang lived in seclusion even more, as if he was completely immersed in memories of the past and contemplation of the future.
To her, the hustle and bustle of the outside world is like a passing cloud, and no longer easily touches her heartstrings.
All she does every day is take good care of and feed her children.
Cao Nanhua, however, often returned to her parents' home because she was only a concubine and had no children, so she did not have to observe mourning.
In this era, a childless woman did not need to observe mourning when her husband died, because after her husband died, she would follow her son, but she had no son, so she had no one to follow.
The princess didn't care about Cao Nanhua's behavior at all. She turned a blind eye and ignored her.
That day, Yu Yuanzheng, who was playing with the children, suddenly thought of someone who also needed to know the news that his brother had died on the battlefield.
