On the day when Emperor Jingsheng passed away, the successor emperor Jun Zechen had a solemn expression, his eyes were full of sadness, and he straightened his back.
He led a group of princes, princesses and officials and slowly walked towards the place where the late emperor's body was placed to pay their respects to the late emperor's remains.
The "small burial" ceremony was held solemnly.
Five days later, it would be the "grand burial" ceremony. All the people in the court, from princes down to officials with official hats, as well as wives of third-class guards and above, had to come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to pay their respects to the late emperor's remains.
Jun Zechen looked solemn and dignified as he led the princes, princesses, and matrons of aristocratic families to perform the "burial ceremony" meticulously.
Every action is full of respect and remembrance for the late emperor.
After the "burial" was completed, Jun Zechen took a deep breath, straightened his body, and formally announced the news of Emperor Jingsheng's death to the outside world in a steady and firm voice.
The news quickly spread among court officials, royal family members and common people.
After the funeral, all members of the royal family looked sad, and the princes and ministers also looked sorrowful.
The palace maids and eunuchs all dressed in mourning clothes and began the mourning ceremony.
Early in the morning, Su Jingyao arrived at the gate of the East Palace dressed in mourning clothes.
The concubines of the Eastern Palace were supposed to be led by the Crown Princess to the ancestral temple to burn incense, pay their respects and cry for the late emperor.
According to common sense, Su Jingyao should also go to Qiluan Palace.
However, since she was taking the eldest prince with her, she asked for leave directly from the Crown Princess.
She specially sent a palace maid to inform the Crown Princess and wait for them directly at the gate of the East Palace.
The reason why Su Jingyao chose not to go was simply to prevent herself from being implicated in the affairs of An Liangdi and Tang Fengyi.
Today she just wanted to quietly watch the show.
Qiluan Palace.
"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."
Tang Fengyi's abdomen was bulging, and although it had been more than four months, it was only slightly bulging.
She walked forward gracefully, leaning slightly forward, her voice soft and respectful.
Ever since Tang Fengyi learned that the medicines she took from Doctor Hu were all the kind that would harm the mother to preserve the royal heir, she has used them with extreme caution.
It is only taken in small amounts when you feel extremely unwell.
With such difficulty, the royal heir has been preserved to this day.
She knew that An Liangdi had no good intention in telling her this news, and she just wanted to use her to suppress the Crown Princess.
But as An Liangdi said, she had no choice.
She was only sixteen and she didn't want to die.
Tang Fengyi knew clearly that she was of low status and had little influence. In the eyes of the empress and the crown prince, her life was insignificant.
If her body had not been weakening, she would not have believed that the Queen and the Crown Prince would use her as a vessel to nurture the prince!
From the moment she entered the East Palace, she had been acting cautiously and was even more weak in front of the Crown Prince.
It is obvious that among the five new concubines, she is the one who can please the prince the most.
However, An Liangdi is still as annoying as she was during the talent show.
She was obviously such an arrogant and domineering person, but she could pretend to be weak and helpless in front of the prince, and blatantly snatch the prince's attention.
It was obvious that the prince wanted to come to her Shuyuxuan, but he was often intercepted by An Liangdi.
She hated An Liangdi very much, but her status was too humble in front of An Liangdi.
She had no power to rely on in the capital, so she had no choice but to seek refuge with the Crown Princess.
After all, the Crown Princess and An Liangdi have an old grudge.
But Tang Fengyi never expected that the Crown Princess was not naive, but extremely stupid.
Even if the Crown Princess did not intend to harm her royal heir.
But her royal heir could not be born because of the Crown Princess's foolish behavior!
It was because of the Crown Princess that now only one of her and the Crown Prince can survive.
Therefore, the Crown Princess could not blame her. She had to protect herself, even if she had to cooperate with An Liangdi.
A hint of viciousness flashed across Tang Fengyi's lowered eyes.
When the Crown Princess saw her, she quickly reached out and called her up, with a look of concern on her face.
"You are pregnant, no need to be polite, just sit down."
Every time Ling Yue saw Tang Fengyi, she felt a deep sense of guilt.
It was because of her that Tang Fengyi was in such a weak state now, and it became unknown whether the royal heir could be born safely.
Tang Fengyi raised his head, smiled slightly, and then sat down.
Not long after, An Liangdi also walked in slowly.
After she came in, she looked at Tang Fengyi calmly, and then exchanged glances with Tang Fengyi as if nothing had happened.
Tang Fengyi's eyes panicked for a moment, then he quickly lowered his head to conceal his inner turmoil.
"I pay my respects to my sister, the Crown Princess."
An Liangdi said this in a soft voice, and then bowed slightly.
"Get up."
Ling Yue responded expressionlessly, and there was no trace of happiness in the look he gave An Liangdi.
She was filled with resentment towards this woman.
Almost all the troubles she had encountered recently were related to this woman, but she didn't know how to fight back.
Now that her Golden Book has been taken away and she has lost the power to direct the affairs of the Eastern Palace, everything she does is becoming increasingly difficult.
Although she has been in the East Palace for two years, the funny thing is that she has not cultivated many people who truly belong to her.
Up to now, perhaps the people under his command are not as many as the new An Liangdi, and there are more people available.
She used to treat the Eastern Palace as her home and thought the prince would protect her all her life and she didn't need to make any calculations.
Now I realize how ridiculous my previous thoughts were.
But the time that has passed can never be returned.
