It's useless to regret now.
After a while, the five concubines had arrived one after another, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent over a few young eunuchs.
Leading the way was a slightly hunched first-class eunuch from the Imperial Household Department, who bent over humbly.
"I pay my respects to all the masters."
Then he straightened up again with an ingratiating smile on his face.
"Today, I am here to deliver sutra boxes and Buddhist beads to the masters of the East Palace."
After the emperor's death, all members of the royal family were required to copy the mantra for the deceased emperor and put it in the sutra box.
During these few days, each of them wore mourning clothes and copied Buddhist scriptures for the late emperor in the ancestral hall.
The Buddhist beads were blessed by the abbot of Chonghua Temple at the Queen's request.
Tang Fengyi had the lowest position and sat the farthest away, but he was actually closest to the young eunuch holding the sutra box.
She walked up to several eunuchs first, and before the first young eunuch could react, Tang Fengyi put the Buddhist scriptures in his hand into the scripture box.
At this time, the eunuch holding the sutra box changed his expression slightly, and hurriedly said: "Tang Fengyi, this sutra box belongs to the Crown Princess."
The Buddhist beads in the Crown Princess's sutra box are a bracelet of twenty-four Buddhist beads, while the sutra boxes of the other concubines only contain bracelets of twelve Buddhist beads.
When Tang Fengyi heard the young eunuch's words, a look of guilt instantly appeared on his face.
Her eyes were filled with apology, and she hurriedly said, "Crown Princess Sister, I was distracted for a moment and didn't even notice that this sutra box belonged to you, Crown Princess Sister."
"But I have already put the scriptures in the box. How about I exchange the beads in the Crown Princess's scripture box with mine?"
After all, the scriptures have been placed in the scripture box, and if they want to be taken out, they can only be taken in front of the spirit of the late emperor.
Before the Crown Princess could speak, An Liangdi immediately raised her chin with a mocking look on her face.
"Tang Fengyi is so ignorant of the rules that he actually put the scriptures into the Crown Princess's scripture box. Even if you switched them, you have committed a crime of disrespect."
When Ling Yue heard An Liangdi accusing Tang Fengyi so rudely in front of her, her brows furrowed tightly, a look of displeasure appeared on her face, and she shouted at her.
"An Liang Di! I am still here. I haven't said anything. Why do you have to be so aggressive, An Liang Di?"
"Yes, the Crown Princess is magnanimous and doesn't care about such a small matter. I'm sorry for saying too much. I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."
An Liangdi's tone was sarcastic.
"Tang Fengyi, please swap the Buddhist beads. The sutra boxes are the same." Ling Yue said softly with sympathy.
"Thank you, Sister Crown Princess." Tang Fengyi responded obediently.
After saying that, she slowly took out the Buddhist beads from the Crown Princess's sutra box and walked towards her own sutra box. Her sutra box was at the end.
Because of my pregnancy, I moved slowly, taking every step carefully and slowly.
An Liangdi looked at Tang Fengyi, a barely perceptible strange color flashed in her eyes, then she lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup and drank tea.
After Tang Fengyi exchanged the Buddhist beads, he slowly returned to his seat.
Afterwards, the other concubines slowly stepped forward one by one, picked up the scriptures and put them into the scripture box.
After everyone had been released, the Crown Princess walked in front dignified and steady, leading everyone to set off.
Everyone followed closely.
They arrived at the gate of the East Palace and met Su Jingyao who was waiting there.
Then, the group headed towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity in a mighty procession.
At this time, in front of the Qianqing Palace, Jun Zechen had a solemn expression on his face, and led all the ministers and royal relatives to stand respectfully before the spirit of the late emperor.
The Queen, along with her concubines, the Crown Princess and others, also arrived in front of the coffin.
The queen looked solemn as she led the concubines to solemnly take out the Buddhist beads from the scripture box.
There was piety and awe in the eyes of each woman, and they began to pray quietly in front of the coffin.
After the prayer is completed, the scriptures in the scripture box are carefully placed into the box in front of the coffin, which already contains a lot of scriptures.
These scriptures would be burned before the late emperor's funeral.
After the Queen finished praying, the Crown Princess stepped forward, and Su Jingyao and other concubines stood in a neat row behind her.
Everyone also took out Buddhist beads from their respective scripture boxes with a focused look.
Su Jingyao stood at the outermost edge, while An Liangdi and Tang Fengyi exchanged subtle glances and quietly stood together.
The two stood side by side, both standing behind Ling Yue.
Su Jingyao glanced at the two of them casually.
I wonder if these two are going to do something soon? All the ministers and royal relatives are here now.
It takes great courage to not be afraid of losing more than what you gain.
At critical moments, she has to clean up their mess.
Ling Yue took out the Buddhist beads and began to pray.
But......
At first, she just felt a slight itch on her hand, but soon, the itch became more and more intense, and even began to cause a sharp stinging pain.
She frowned, with a hint of pain on her face.
But she kept holding it in, trying not to show her abnormality.
What happened to her hand?
Even though she was very anxious in her heart, Ling Yue still kept her eyes closed on the surface, slowly turning the Buddhist beads with her hands and muttering prayers.
But the more she turned the beads, the more painful her hands became.
Just when she finally finished praying and the Buddhist beads had finally turned to the last bead, she suddenly couldn't help but groaned.
The Buddhist beads in his hand fell to the ground.
At this moment, Tang Fengyi who was behind her happened to stand up. Because she was praying wholeheartedly, she did not notice that the Crown Princess' Buddhist beads had fallen in front of her.
I stepped on it 'accidentally'.
"ah!"
Tang Fengyi let out a scream, her ankle sprained, her body lost balance instantly, and she fell heavily to the ground.
Ling Yue's face was full of panic. The Queen, the Crown Prince, and others were also extremely shocked when they saw this scene.
"Tang Fengyi is bleeding!" someone shouted in horror.
