Chapter five hundred and thirty second make up your mind
Amid the mourning and sobs that filled the hall, they finally made it to meal time. Qixi and Bixue helped Ji Ling get up, one on the left and the other on the right.
Ji Ling's knees were numb.
After she stood up, her legs straightened out immediately.
I could only stand in place and wait for a while before I could move.
The people below looked at her eagerly.
This is the imperial concubine - the middle palace dies. As long as the emperor is not present, Ji Ling is the backbone of all of them.
…
When the queen's mourning period is over, the concubines and concubines no longer mourn. The queen's coffin is decorated with bright yellow nanmu gold coffin. On the coffin, there is a quilt cover, a goat's horn lamp, an eight-character wall, a silk book and silk treasures, and a filial piety cloth holding a staff.
.
In the Qing palace, according to the ancient system, after the burial, the place where the coffin was placed for burial was called the funeral palace, also called the "temporary resting place".
Some funeral palaces are located in temples, some are located in Taoist temples, and some are located in the residence of the noble during his lifetime.
For example, Ulanara's golden coffin was placed directly in Kunning Palace, where he could enjoy memorial services until it was moved to his mausoleum.
As for the parking time in the funeral palace, it has never been customized.
For example, some of the high-ranking concubines of the previous dynasty were sent to the underground palace a few days after their death, and some were kept for several years. After the emperor was also buried, they were sent to the emperor's mausoleum with the empress's Zi Palace for burial.
This is a noble and favored concubine.
If the concubines were of lower rank or were not favored, they would not be qualified to be buried with the emperor.
At the end of the day, when Ji Ling returned to Chengqian Palace, it was almost dark.
The third princess was very tired. After washing, she lay down on her shoulder and fell asleep while her grandma was waiting for her to change her clothes.
In the end, the nanny and the palace maid took her back to the Nuan Pavilion and put her on the bed.
Not to mention the seventh elder brother - where has he suffered this kind of sin from birth to now? He was restrained in one place, surrounded by strange people and strange cries. Although E Niang knelt down
He was not far in front of me, but no matter how much he cried till he was hoarse, he still wouldn't come over to coax him or give him a hug.
The seventh elder brother felt extremely wronged.
Yinzhen saw it all and felt very distressed.
The third princess and the sixth elder brother are both grown children, and the queen is their legitimate mother. If the queen dies, they must cry for several days during the mourning period.
But Seventh Brother doesn’t have to.
So when it was a little later, someone came to the Yangxin Hall to convey a message: starting from tomorrow, for several days in a row, until the end, the Seventh Prince would not have to appear.
After hearing this, Ji Ling quickly thanked her and felt relieved.
Mothers are like this - as long as their children don't suffer, no matter how hard they work, they feel at ease in their hearts.
She thanked Wan'en and knew that Yinzhen probably wouldn't come over during the national mourning period, so she washed up and prepared to rest.
While Qixi was waiting for her to take off her clothes, Ji Ling took a look at her knees - they were actually fine, much better than she had imagined. They were neither bruised nor swollen, but just a little red.
Slight swelling.
After all, I had been kneeling for a whole day, so the area was somewhat congested.
Qixi knelt in front of her, holding a medicine bowl in one hand and a soft brush in the other, carefully applying medicine to her master.
Bixue was beside her and said, "Master, why don't you wear some more pairs of trousers tomorrow and pad them thickly? Let's bring some more thin pads!"
Ji Ling shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with the padding. Kneeling in the same position for a day will inevitably cause swelling."
Bixue helplessly said nothing, reached out and took the comb handed over by Evian, walked silently behind her master, and began to loosen her hair.
Ji Ling's mind was not focused on this, so he reached out and picked up the brochure presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs next to the desk.
Today's mourning is just the beginning. There are still a series of things to be busy with later.
"Library offering" is an important part throughout the entire funeral activities. From the time of burial to the burial in the mausoleum, according to the ancestral rules, there are three libation ceremonies, the first offering ceremony, the main offering ceremony, the offering ceremony, the first full moon ceremony, and the second full moon ceremony.
…
There are countless things to be busy with, and she has to wait for her to give orders and make decisions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In addition, on the day when the Queen's golden coffin is moved, a moving ceremony will be held. It is summer now, and in the future, when it comes to this year's Ghost Festival, grand sacrificial activities will also be arranged to correspond.
Ji Ling looked at each item carefully.
For example, in the "Three Laying Ceremony", the princess Fu Jin and below, and the first-class wife of the county monarch and above, must gather together once in the morning and evening, display seventy-six ceremonial items, and light incense lamps day and night.
The most annoying things are the details.
Ji Ling was in a trance, and had the illusion that he was holding the company's annual meeting before time travel, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
She watched for a while, but unexpectedly Zhang Guiren came over.
Shengjian brought some ointment, saying that she saw Sister Ji kneeling there today and had not moved for the whole day except for meals. She thought her knees must be swollen, and she felt uneasy, so she gave her a bottle of ointment and stopped by.
Look at her.
Ji Ling asked her to sit down and said, "It doesn't matter to me, does it matter to you? Have you taken medicine?"
Zhang Guiren shook his head gently and said easily: "Sister is kneeling at the top, staring at me with many eyes, so naturally I can't be careless. I am kneeling at the back, no one pays attention to me."
While she was talking, she saw all kinds of matters spread out on the table, and she was startled, and suddenly said: "If it were in the past, Concubine Yu would always do these things, and my sister would just give orders."
Ji Ling was noncommittal.
Zhang Guiren added: "If sister is too busy, you can tell the emperor and find someone you can trust to help the assistant - so that you don't have to do everything yourself."
After she said this, she suddenly realized that there was an ambiguity in her words, and quickly explained: "Sister, I am not talking about myself! I am just a noble person, not worthy..."
Ji Ling reached out to hold her hand and said softly: "Aren't you being disrespectful when you talk to me like this?"
Zhang Guiren's face flushed slightly and he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Ji Ling thought of what Yinzhen promised before - to mention Zhang Guiren's status.
Later, there was no more content or movement.
Now that the queen is in mourning, I think there will be no more Jin titles in the harem in the near future.
In early August of the 13th year of Yongzheng's reign, Queen Uranala finally had her funeral.
The funeral ceremony for the Mother of the Nation has complicated etiquette, numerous participants, and complicated items...
The three departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry cooperate with each other.
In the harem, the imperial concubine's Chengqian Palace has almost become a department of Zakou.
A crowd of people jumped on their backs.
Before the funeral, a bright yellow pavilion must be set up, gold utensils must be displayed, and horses and camels must be saddled.
On the day of the transfer, everyone from the prince to the general, Feng En general and above, the civilian prince and the prince below, and the fourth-rank officials and above followed him to salute. The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yang Sa, Man Yiwei, and Zhang Jing took turns to instruct the changing of the honor guard.
Behind the queen's golden coffin were followed by thirty women on horseback, led by the military guards, who took turns carrying leopard-tailed spears.
In addition, Zhang Jing, a knight of the Eight Banners, patrolled.
At the imperial mausoleum, officials from the mausoleum engineering department knelt outside the dragon gate to welcome him.
