Chapter 202 202. Tragedy Queen
Shi Liu was extremely interested in a queen in the concubine's mausoleum. What kind of mood did Empress Huifa Nala have in mind when she cut her hair? The pig-hoofed Emperor Qianlong was really a piece of shit. In the end, the queen was reduced to squeezing into the concubine's mausoleum. It was really cruel.
Out of curiosity, Shi Liu went to Empress Huifanara's tomb twice, and you wouldn't believe it, she actually got some information.
Although Empress Huifa Nala was the empress, she was not only unloved, but even hated by Emperor Qianlong. Naturally, her burial objects were pitifully few.
The two pieces of jewelry belonged to Empress Huifa Nara and Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui Su respectively. Shi Liu felt complicated when looking at the two bracelets. According to status, Empress Huifa Nara's bracelet was naturally more noble, but the jewelry Shi Liu got happened to be the more precious one belonging to Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui Su. One was a red agate bracelet, and the other was a high-quality blood jade bracelet. The difference was really huge.
Shi Liu felt upset when she saw this, and she sincerely hoped that Empress Huifa Nara would never enter the imperial family in her next life.
The fact that Empress Fucha was chosen by Emperor Yongzheng to be his concubine shows that she had no problems with her character and morals. Unfortunately, even after she became the empress, she was always overshadowed by the impression of Empress Fucha, and became depressed, which eventually led to her own death.
Shi Liu was depressed by the affairs of Empress Huifa Nara and lost interest. He quickly sorted out the other things and left the space.
Zhou Pan was a little surprised when he saw this and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to play in the space for a while? Why did you come out so soon?"
Shi Liu shook her head and said, "Nothing, I just sorted through the relics of Emperor Qianlong's successor, and I'm not in a good mood."
Alas! In the eyes of modern people, the Empress Huifa Nala was a complete tragedy, a true victim. No wonder Shi Liu felt unhappy when he saw her relics. Even Zhou Pan felt that the Empress was pitiful.
Zhou Pan embraced Shi Liu and said, "Perhaps I don't want to share a tomb with that big pig's hoof."
Shi Liu thought about it and realized that if it were her, she probably wouldn't want to be buried with the pig's hoof. Fortunately, Emperor Qianlong was narrow-minded, otherwise Empress Huifa Nara might not have been able to get her wish.
"You're right. As for burial objects, they're not something you bring with you when you're born, and they can't be taken with you when you die. A simple burial isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Kangxi and Qianlong emperors were famously buried with a ton of objects, but in the end, most of them ended up being stolen by tomb robbers."
Zhou Pan nodded and said, "The tomb robbers in Jingling were not ordinary and arrogant in the past. It took the slaughter of several groups of tomb robbers to improve the atmosphere in Jingling. Of course, it is also possible that most of the valuables had been stolen."
"People die for money, birds die for food." Shi Liu felt that it was probably because all the treasures had been stolen, otherwise the group of tomb robbers would not give up. They were a group of people who valued money more than their lives.
As a member of the older generation, Grandpa Zhou happened to have participated in the original incident. Zhou Pan thought of Grandpa Zhou's sigh and said to Shi Liu, "Grandpa said that the Jingling Mausoleum was extremely badly damaged. Many corpses were piled on the ground. The tomb of Emperor Kangxi was particularly horrific. It is said that the bones are still soaking in the stinking ditch."
Shi Liu counted on her fingers, "It seems three empresses and one imperial concubine are buried in Emperor Kangxi's mausoleum. The remains of all five have been swept to the ground. How can we even tell who is who?"
"Probably not. Besides, it's been thrown on the ground for so many years, and soaked in sewage, it's probably no longer intact." Zhou Pan shook his head and said, "In some ways, Prince Fengming and his son are both quite lucky."
Shi Liu thought so too. Prince Rui's body was intact, while Prince Fengming's body had long been cremated and "broken into dust." "Actually, cremation is quite good."
Zhou Pan suddenly said, "A hundred years from now, our ashes will be together, never to be separated again."
Shi Liu shuddered with a chill and angrily patted Zhou Pan's arm: "What are you talking about? Why are you saying this when you're fine!" It was so unlucky! She had never planned to die young in her life.
Zhou Pan reacted and quickly slapped his mouth: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean anything else."
In fact, what he didn't say was that he also planned to plant flowers on the cemetery. As for what flowers to plant, Pomegranate had obtained the seedlings of the star peony, so he would plant that. Looking at Pomegranate's black face, he decided not to say anything for the time being.
Looking at Zhou Pan's departing back, Shi Liu pursed her lips in anger, and then let it go. Although Zhou Pan said it too early, she really had no objection to him doing this in the future.
Originally, Shi Liu wanted to take a day off, but now that Zhou Pan had disturbed her, she had no mood to rest and simply went into the teaching space.
In the retro and prosperous courtyard, Prince Fengming was painting leisurely. When he saw Shi Liu come in, he didn't say a word and just focused on painting.
Shi Liu pursed her lips. She hadn't been in the space to study much recently. She was busy running around during the day, and Zhou Pan pestered her at night, so she fell asleep early.
After looking at it for a while, Shi Liu's eyes suddenly focused. The painting by Prince Fengming was of the Fengming Palace in the past. She thought that Prince Fengming would never want to mention anything about the Eastern Palace again in his life. Now it seems that Prince Fengming has come to terms with it.
Shi Liu's eyes rolled as she thought about this. Although the Crown Princess had told her a lot of stories from the past, she was, after all, a woman from the inner court. Even though she was the future queen mother, she didn't know much about many things. So Shi Liu still had many questions in her mind that hadn't been answered. Now that Crown Prince Fengming was in a better mood, maybe she could ask him some questions.
Prince Fengming was such an intelligent man that he knew Shi Liu was holding something back when he saw her expression.
Looking at the lifelike Fengming Palace in his painting, his eyes were stunned. He originally thought that he had forgotten that place long ago, but after revisiting the place with Shi Liu, he found that the originally blurred picture became clear again, but now things and people have changed, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Prince Fengming raised his eyebrows and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
Pomegranate tilted her head: "Just answer me when I ask you?"
Prince Fengming said reservedly, "It depends on my mood."
This means don't ask about things that make him unhappy. Shi Liu curled his lips in displeasure: "Unofficial history records that your father has a beauty in his harem, and he created her by forcibly seizing my wife. Is this true?"
Crown Prince Fengming hadn't expected Shi Liu to be interested in this matter, but he wasn't about to cover up for his father. "It's true. My good father not only stole Lord Xu's wife, he also had him killed. Of course, that Madam Xu wasn't a good person either. My father was indeed tempted by her beauty, but it was Madam Xu who deliberately seduced her."
Shi Liu curled her lips and said, "Your Highness, are you trying to cover up your father's lust?"
Prince Fengming tapped Shi Liu's forehead and said, "I'm not covering up for him, but that Madam Xu has a criminal record. She once seduced me." It's just that he didn't like her.
Shi Liu felt that it was hard to put into words: "This is because he was blinded by wealth! After all, it is the cuckolded Xu who is the most pitiful."
What Prince Fengming didn't say was that the woman didn't end up well either. It was true that his father was lustful, but he was also very fickle. It seemed that he only doted on her for a month or two and then forgot about her. The careless Madam Xu finally died miserably due to the conspiracy in the harem.
