The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 260

The guards sent by the Empress Dowager to deliver the message went out of the city overnight, rode on fast horses, and headed straight for Shengjing.When he arrived at the Shengjing Palace, it was at the time of the emperor's ancestor worship ceremony, and the royal family, civil and military officials, were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Worshiping the ancestors is a major national event, he didn't dare to rush in, so he had to entrust the little eunuch at the door to report it up level by level.

When it reached Li Yu's ears, the emperor and the empress were kneeling down to worship their ancestors, so they put it aside again.

The emperor was dressed in five-color cloud-pattern twelve-chapter court clothes, and was covered with a stone-blue formal dragon gown. He bowed and bowed solemnly.Yingyun followed the priest's instructions and kowtowed along with him.

In the side hall, the wives of the shamans were still dancing the sacrificial dance, and the sounds of various instruments colliding came one after another, spreading to the main hall one after another.

Yingyun wore a crown weighing three to four catties on her head and two strings of oriental beads on her body. She behaved extra cautiously, for fear of making a fool of herself in front of everyone.After tormenting the whole morning, I finally completed a whole set of procedures, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the gap, Li Yu whispered a few words into the emperor's ear.

The emperor's eyes tightened, his brows slightly frowned, he looked at the fourth elder brother Yongxuan behind him, and called him to come.

Yongxie leaned over and bowed, calling: "Huang Ama."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "A message came from the palace, your mother-in-law is not well, you should go back and have a look immediately."

Yong Xie's face suddenly became serious. Although the emperor didn't say it directly, but when worshiping the ancestors was so important, he ordered him to return to the capital as soon as possible. It must be the time for Concubine Jia.

Concubine Jia has three sons under her knees, Yongxuan is the eldest, and the other two sons are young, and they still don't understand what it means if the mother concubine dies.But Yongxuan knew in his heart that although Concubine Jia was doing nothing in the harem, she eventually occupied the position of concubine, and they could rely on their mother for their children.

The elder brother Yonghuang and the third elder brother Yongzhang both went out of the palace to build a mansion two years ago, and the three elder brothers Yongxuan, Yongqi, and Yongrong who stayed in the elder brother's place were about the same age, and they looked at the next year and the next year. He is about to marry him and start a mansion. Yong Qi and Yong Rong both have their mother-in-law to help, and if Yong Xun does not have the mother-in-law Jia Guifei, the road ahead will be more difficult than the two emperor brothers.

Thinking of this, Yongxie became more and more sad, her heart was burning like fire, and she clasped her hands and answered with a choked voice: "Yes, Huang Ama."

Because Concubine Jia was seriously ill, after finishing the ancestor worship ceremony in Shengjing, the emperor stayed for only two or three days, and then got up and went back to the palace.

The wheels of the imperial chariot turned rapidly round and round, shaking people's internal organs almost out of place.

Yingyun originally wanted to go north to play, but the current plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and it turned out that Concubine Jia was involved, so she couldn't prevent the emperor from going back to the funeral.

Sheng Jia had not arrived in the capital, but on the way, he met someone from the palace who came out to report that Concubine Jia had died of illness in Chengqian Palace at noon on the fifth day of August.

Due to the hot weather, it was not easy to store the body of Concubine Jia, so it was up to the Empress Dowager to encoffin on the same day, and the golden coffin was moved to Jing'an Villa for temporary storage.The emperor was far away in Shengjing, and he hurried back to Beijing at this moment, so he could go directly to Jing'an Village to express his condolences.

Therefore, when the emperor and empress arrived at Jing'an Village, there were white flags everywhere, which was very dazzling under the scorching sun.In the main hall of the underground palace, Yongxie was dressed in hemp and mourning and knelt in front of the coffin, and Concubine Chun and others also greeted the emperor here, also dressed in plain clothes with sad faces.

On August 20, the 23th year of Qianlong, the emperor made a decree in front of Concubine Jia's funeral, posthumously conferring on Concubine Jia as Imperial Concubine, bestowing the posthumous title of Shujia, and choosing a date to be buried in Yuling.
