In the winter of the tenth year of Jinghe, Empress Dowager Xiaohewen and Qin passed away in Cining Palace.
Before her death, the Queen Mother of Qin left a decree to keep the etiquette simple, and repeatedly stated that she would not disturb the officials or the people. There was no need for civil and military officials to order women to enter the palace to perform ceremonies, and there was no need for the court and people to increase national filial piety. All they had to do was move to Qiling as soon as possible.
As soon as this decree came out, many officials opposed it by violating etiquette rules, and the ministers in the cabinet also expressed some criticism.
In the end, Prince Jiang Yucong insisted, and the subsequent procedures were carried out as requested by the Queen Mother Qin.
So, exactly two months after Emperor Jinghe's Zi Palace entered the imperial mausoleum, the stone door of the Empress Dowager Qin's underground palace suddenly fell down.
At this point, the mother and son, who had been separated for nearly three seasons, were finally reunited.
…
"Sister Yuan."
On the jade bridge outside the palace, Anyu saw the thinner Sheng Yuan from a distance and hurriedly ran over.
At this moment, Sheng Yuan was holding on to the white jade railing beside him, looking back towards the direction of the hall, silently in a daze.
Because his sister was about to give birth, Prince Jiang Yucong specially invited his mother-in-law, Mrs. Zheng of Marquis Yongxing, to accompany her during the birth. Therefore, Sheng Yuan, her biological sister, would always go to the inner garden of the harem every time she went to court.
Today, I was about to leave the palace after visiting my sister. I stopped at this bridge and looked back at the palace, and then I met Anyu.
"Sister Yuan, why are you standing here in a daze?" Anyu quickly put the heater in Sheng Yuan's hand, "It's so cold! Hurry up and warm yourself up!"
"When I first entered the palace, Aunt Qi was standing here holding me in her arms, watching the courtiers coming and going." Sheng Yuan looked at the deserted stone steps, her eyes gradually blurred, "Nearly twenty years have passed since that day. But the picture of that day is so clear that it seems like yesterday.”
"Sister Yuan..."
Sheng Yuan looked quite calm, but Anyu burst into tears when she heard this.
"My cousin left, my aunt left, and Aunt Qi left the capital. The palace is still the same palace, but it will never be the same palace."
Sheng Yuan looked at the red walls and green tiles under the blue sky and white clouds, and felt inexplicably panicked.
How could such a familiar place, so familiar that she would not take any wrong route with her eyes closed, suddenly become so strange.
"Do you think this can be considered a change in the sea in another sense?"
At this moment, Sheng Yuan was slightly sentimental.
However, before this sentiment was fully formed, An Yu interrupted.
In an instant, Sheng Yuan's entire mind was quickly withdrawn from her own world, and all the negative emotions that had appeared before disappeared instantly.
Sheng Yuan looked down at the warm tears falling on her hands, then looked up at An Yu, who was crying sadly and sobbing from time to time, and her senses suddenly returned.
Good guy, even though she, the one who was so moved by the scene, didn't cry, An Yu couldn't help crying.
For those who didn’t know, I thought she had beaten him again!
"Sister Yuan, I, I miss my aunt and uncle!" Anyu's red eyes were full of tears, and her aggrieved look made Sheng Yuan's forehead tighten.
"...How about you bear it?" Sheng Yuan didn't know how to persuade her.
Maybe her father, who has been crying secretly lately, can have something in common with Brother Yu.
"I can't help it!" Anyu's tear valve opened, but it was not easy to close it.
"Either, or... just think, just think, in the future, the emperor's tomb will always be buried. If you can't see it now, you will see it every day in the future!" Sheng Yuan made Anyu cry until he was a big head and two heads, and unknowingly made nonsense stand up.
Anyu: "..."
He thought that the effect of persuasion was good, but why did he feel that these words were strange? !
