Chapter 502 Concubine Liang Died
The day Concubine Liang died should have been the coldest.
At this time of year in previous years, the capital city would have been covered in snow, so cold that people didn't want to take their hands out.
But on this day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Perhaps even God knew that Concubine Liang was afraid of the cold and didn't want her to suffer bad weather in her last journey on earth.
The masters and servants in the palace, including the ministers and the wives and their families who came to participate in the funeral, were all dressed in white, which made the courtyard covered with snow.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince led the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince to burn incense to Concubine Chunyi--"
Concubine Liang was posthumously named Concubine Chunyi after her death, which was also a recognition of her by the emperor.
The third prince, Shen Mingxuan, is already 21 years old. If it weren't for the death of Concubine Liang, he would still be fasting and chanting in Fengxian Hall.
Because of years of chanting scriptures and burning incense, he has a faint scent of sandalwood on his body, and his temperament is also very gentle and peaceful. Because he has not seen the sun for many years, his skin is a bit sickly white, and his handsome eyebrows always reveal a kind-hearted Bodhisattva appearance.
But he looks a bit like Concubine De, and he also has some of the emperor's coldness. He looks like...
just like the little monk under the seat of the Buddha in the Changsheng Hall, who is not worldly, pure and pure, but also good and evil.
His appearance is not stunning at first glance, but he is very attractive. I can't have any bad thoughts about him. I always feel that having any evil thoughts about him is a blasphemy against the Buddha.
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had paid his respects first, the others came in order of age.
The Third Prince took the incense from Xiao Yuezi and inserted it into the bronze incense burner. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, his face expressionless, and he stood behind the Crown Prince.
The Fourth Prince, Shen Mingman, was nineteen years old. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extraordinary in valor. He was the one who looked most like the emperor among all the princes.
He glanced at the Third Prince, and quickly inserted the incense into the vessel, and stood beside him.
He had a lot to say to his third brother, but the place was not right, so he could only hold back his emotions and take a few deep breaths.
Concubine Chunyi was very good to them all, and her departure was also very sad for the Fourth Prince.
The great-grandfather had passed away two years ago, and he buried her in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
After knowing this, Wang Dequan, the chief steward, also said that he would be buried next to his ancestor a hundred years later, and that they would be good brothers in their next
reincarnation. At that time, they would not enter the palace to purify themselves, but would have children and grandchildren. The fifth prince was brought back from the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum by Jiang Xinyue after his eighth birthday.
He is the thinnest among the princes, sixteen years old this year, and not tall, but in stark contrast to the third prince, he exudes a ferocious temperament.
With thick eyebrows and big eyes, black hair and black clothes, his magnetic field makes people who see him want to stay away from him, and feel that they will be killed on the spot by his cold eyes if they get close to him.
He had no feelings for Consort Chunyi. After all, he was sent to the imperial mausoleum when he was only two or three years old. After he came back, he didn't like to get close to people.
Because Aunt Fenyun said that the palace was full of traps and poisonous schemes. If he wanted to protect himself and live well in the palace, he would be safe until he got married, was crowned king, and left the capital to go to his fiefdom. The
seventh prince was the youngest among the princes, but he was also fourteen years old. He was the best-looking among the princes. His appearance completely inherited the advantages of his father and mother. He was born with red lips and white teeth, and was gorgeous and handsome.
The wind blowing from the door blew the exquisite and expensive cloak on him, and the unmarried ministers and women present were breathless.
They thought that the seventh prince was as beautiful as a painting.
It was incompatible with the funeral ceremony, a kind of sinful beauty that could lead people to decadence.
"The eldest princess leads the second princess and the third princess to burn incense to Concubine Chunyi--"
After the princes had finished their tributes, it was the princesses' turn.
The eldest princess' tears had dried up in the past few days, but when she heard the faint sobbing, she still couldn't help it, and fell on Concubine Chunyi's coffin and cried loudly.
From then on, she had no mother.
The second princess and the third princess were shocked, and hurried to comfort and pull: "Royal sister... Royal sister, you have to take care of yourself!"
The eldest princess, who had always been reserved and self-respecting, broke down emotionally, broke away from the second princess's hand, and touched Concubine Chunyi's face reluctantly, but was afraid that she would rub off the makeup on her face, so she didn't dare to really touch it.
She tried to open her eyes wide and look at Concubine Chunyi's belly: "Mingzhu, Minglan, look... look, is my mother's belly still moving? It's still moving... She's not dead, she's just asleep, right?"
The second princess knew that she was too sad and didn't want to admit it, so she had hallucinations.
But the third princess didn't think so. She approached the coffin and lay on the edge. Her gem-like eyes were wide open, staring at Concubine Chunyi's belly carefully.
It didn't move... It really didn't move...
She shed tears of disappointment. Aunt Liangfei was really gone.
"Wuwuwuwu..."
Her crying reached the ears of the eldest princess, who quickly hugged her: "Why are you crying so sadly?"
The third princess cried violently: "Wuwuwuwu...Eldest sister Wuwuwuwuwu...I miss...I miss Aunt Liang Fei Wuwuwuwu..."
The eldest princess and the third princess hugged their heads and cried bitterly. The second princess couldn't hold it anymore and joined the team of violent crying.
Affected by the emotions of the three princesses, everyone present shed tears.
The emperor sat at the top, and his red eyes also proved that even if he didn't love Liang Fei, he still had family affection.
After seven days of mourning, Liang Fei's body was transported to Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum for burial, and the princes had the opportunity to sit together and talk.
The fourth prince organized a party in Zhaixing Pavilion and invited all the brothers and sisters to gather together.
The eldest princess and the second princess have not left the palace yet, just to see the third prince.
"You have grown so tall."
The second princess touched the third prince's head: "You are so heartless. You didn't say you would come out to see us for so many years. If I meet you somewhere else, I won't recognize you."
The third prince's eyes were moist: "Sister... I heard that you got married and gave birth to two little nephews. That's great... Sister, I am so happy for you."
"Third brother, you won't go back to Fengxian Hall this time you come out, right?"
As soon as the fourth prince asked, everyone's eyes fell on the third prince.
"Yeah!"
The young man smiled gently: "Father said that the tablets of the late empress and my two brothers will be transported back to the imperial mausoleum for worship next spring, and asked me not to go back."
There was no tablet for him to worship there.
"That's great!"
The most excited people were the crown prince and the fourth prince: "Third brother, there will be a spring banquet in the spring, and I will ask mother to find a princess for you then."
So that father would not worry about him all the time, and plot every day to get him married as soon as possible and inherit the throne.
Oh my God, he hasn't found his ideal princess yet!
Mother said that when it comes to women, it's better to have nothing than to have too much. He can't just find one casually, otherwise it will be a disaster if both of them are unhappy!
