Chapter 216: Posthumous
Title After all, Concubine Yi was only a concubine. Even if she was posthumously titled a noble concubine, she was still just a concubine.
The Changle Palace was kept for three days and then given away.
This was a special honor bestowed upon her by the Emperor. After all, when ordinary concubines died, their bodies were not allowed to be kept in the palace.
Concubine Yi has no children yet, which is already a great tolerance, of course, if Concubine Yi can still perceive it.
After seeing off Concubine Yi, the gates of Changle Palace were closed.
People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs personally sealed off the main hall in Changle Palace and took away the things that should be taken back.
The Queen had previously issued an imperial decree that whatever Concubine Yi had distributed would be disregarded, and anything that did not belong to her would be sent to her parents' home.
Qi Yixiu also rewarded her parents' family with a sum of money.
At this moment, Chenxiang and Fuxiang packed their bags and were waiting to see the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs leave before they left.
"Where are you going? Isn't it good to stay here? I am just changing clothes now, but in the future..."
"Don't worry about it, Changing Clothes." Chen Xiang lowered his head: "The palace has its own rules. Changing Clothes is just a maid. The two of us have our own place to go."
"Where are we going?" Sun Gengyi was still a little nervous. All of a sudden, all the eunuchs in Changle Palace were dismissed.
Now there are only two old eunuchs cleaning and a maid watching over it.
Now Chenxiang and Fuxiang are leaving too.
Fu Xiang said calmly: "When the master was alive, he had already arranged for us to go to Su Baolin, so Sun Gengyi doesn't have to worry about it. We also wish Sun Gengyi to rise to a higher level."
The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs listened and laughed with great meaning.
Rising straight to the top? Tsk, this guy doesn't even have a green card, what's the point of rising! The jewelry is ready, and all the doors of the main hall are locked.
The eunuchs watched and wondered when the festival would begin again, but they didn't know when it would begin.
"Then let's go, girls, come with us?" The eunuch looked at Chenxiang Fuxiang with a smile.
The palace was very disdainful of people like Sun Gengyi who wanted to take the throne when their master was dying.
"Thank you, eunuch. Please allow us to kowtow to you one last time. There are many rules in the palace. Once we leave this palace, we are not allowed to see Su Yi."
It was Su Baolin who asked them to stay for these last few days.
The eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sighed, "It's rare that you are so loyal. The Concubine Yi is above us and she is grateful to you."
Chenxiang Fuxiang smiled, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully towards the main hall.
After three times, he stood up and silently prayed in his heart, "May my master ascend to heaven soon."
Sun Gengyi kept watching with an unpleasant expression, and when everyone was about to leave, she asked, "Excuse me...when will the person who serves me arrive?"
The eunuch smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I will ask you when I get back. I promise it will come quickly."
It’s not easy to find someone, it just depends on their personality.
Sun Gengyi just watched everyone leave.
Later on, she still lived in Changle Palace, but did not move to the side hall. She just moved out from the back and moved into the corner room in the front. It was much more spacious, but... there was nothing.
Sun Gengyi felt resentful. When her master was dying, he made arrangements for Chenxiang and Fuxiang and rewarded them with a lot of gold and silver, but he gave her nothing.
Su Baolin personally took Fuxiang Chenxiang in.
Both of them also called him Baolin, showing great respect.
"Fenghua Pavilion is not small, and your residence has been arranged. From now on, you can live with Congmeng and Qimeng."
The two of them hurriedly thanked her.
Everyone in the palace also knew that Changle Palace had been sealed.
When Concubine Yi died, the weather was good all the time, and it was good until she was sent away.
But on the night when the palace gate was closed, it suddenly rained heavily.
When Shen Chuliu was awakened by the annoying sound of rain, she heard a child crying.
"Someone come."
Zhemei came over quickly: "Master."
"What happened to the Sixth Prince?"
"My lord, this happens every day. He is probably hungry and will sleep after eating. Can I go and take a look?" Zhemei said.
"Well, let's go and take a look." Shen Chuliu sat up.
After all, she is a mother, so waking up at night is normal.
Not long after, Chi Su came in to serve, and Zhe Mei had already gone to the Sixth Prince with a lamp.
Sure enough, the child was hungry, and the wet nurse was lying down feeding him.
This is not because the nanny is lazy, but because she is afraid that if she holds him for a while, he will fall asleep and then cry if she puts him down.
Seeing her come in, the nurse didn't dare to move, and whispered, "What's wrong with the girl?"
Zhemei shook her head and looked over. The Sixth Prince was drinking milk in big gulps with his eyes closed.
"The master was woken up by the rain and happened to hear the Sixth Prince crying, so he asked me to take a look. It's quite dry here. Is there a fire in the compartment?" Zhemei asked.
The maidservant who was serving on the side said hurriedly, "It was lit when it just started to rain. It will not be needed in about half a month."
Zhemei responded, looked at the Sixth Prince a few more times, and then walked out.
After listening to Zhe Mei's words, Shen Chuliu went back to sleep.
Some people slept very well that night, like Shen Chuliu. Even if he woke up once during the night, it didn't affect anything.
But some people don't sleep well at all.
For example, Yi Chongyuan, who gave birth to the child and fell ill.
For example, Concubine Jin indirectly caused Concubine Yi to die early.
For example, Sun Gengyi lived in Changle Palace.
No one served her, and the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard were unwilling to get close to her.
It rained heavily last night and she was very cold, but the quilt was only so thick. After the main hall was sealed, all of Concubine Yi's belongings were locked up.
If she dared to open the door of the palace to take something, she would be breaking the rules.
She wanted to drink some hot water at night, but there was none.
Sun Gengyi tossed and turned all night, and when she woke up early she couldn't wait for breakfast, after all, the servants were not there to serve her.
I could only dress up and go to Fengzao Palace to pay my respects.
Even if she didn't want to go, no one would tell her.
She had no clothes or jewelry bestowed upon her by her superiors, and could only use old ones.
Jewelry is fine, you don’t need too much jewelry when changing clothes, but clothes are a problem.
She did have a few clothes that were not palace clothing, but they were not suitable for this season, either too thick or too thin.
In the end, I had no choice but to wear two sets of underwear and my summer dress.
She arrived at Fengzao Palace quite late today.
He hurried forward to greet everyone one by one.
Chen Baolin said bluntly: "Hey, what are you wearing? This dress..."
Although Chen Baolin was not favored, at least she had enough clothes to wear for all four seasons. After all, she was still young and her family would not ignore her.
"This is for summer, right? It's not that we can't wear it at this time, as it's summer already. But the weather is so cold today, and it's raining outside..." Lady Ying also laughed.
Everyone pursed their lips and smiled.
"Yes, my clothes haven't been prepared by the clothing bureau yet..." Sun Gengyi was extremely embarrassed.
"Why are you blaming the Queen?" Shen Chuliu said calmly, "Your master is dead, and I'm too busy arranging her funeral to have time to make clothes for you."
"Sister Jing said so, but in her heart, how could she still regard Concubine Yi as her master?" Li Chongrong snorted.
