Chapter 336 Queen Mother's Funeral

The group of people went their separate ways outside the imperial city.

Along the way, everything that needed to be said was said and everything that needed to be explained was explained, but there was nothing left to say when parting.

Nan Xi stepped out of the carriage and hugged her daughter: "Protect yourself. Your father and I will send people over at any time to listen to you. If you need anything, you can tell them."

Chu Qinghuang hummed: "Mom, please take care of yourself."

Nan Xi smiled and whispered: "Don't worry, your little shadow mother will take care of it for you."

"That's not necessary." Chu Qinghuang's eyebrows were a little warmer, "He has been training in the dark pavilion since he was a child. He has been exposed to few things and seems not very smart in many aspects. In fact, he has a strong willpower and learns things quickly. , let him practice with his father and increase his knowledge. "

My father is good at many things and has dabbled in all aspects.

After Fucang became a disciple, in addition to the things involved in the "Six Tao", the most important thing was to learn his father's style of conduct.

Teach by precept and example.

Long-term exposure is more effective than step-by-step instruction.

Chu Qinghuang knew very well that her father was a person who could easily impress others. Whether they were his subordinates, sons, daughters, or apprentices, they would subconsciously use his father's behavior as a benchmark after spending time with him.

None of the people who have been taught by Rong Yu, formally or informally, have been raised crooked so far - even Xie Jin, the chief minister of Dongling, who has great power in the government and everyone, still has the emperor's heartfelt trust, and the relationship between monarch and ministers has never been No suspicion.

If Fucang goes out to practice for three years, he will definitely benefit from it for life.

"Here are the large-value banknotes bearing Nan's bill number, and a token of identity." Nan Xi took out a baggage from the carriage and handed it to Chu Qinghuang, "The private money your father gave you, you own Keep it safe. If you are short of money, go to Nanji Bank in advance and they will prepare enough money for you."

Chu Qinghuang took the baggage and said, "Thank you, father and mother, and take care of yourself along the way."

Nan Xi sighed, although she was a little reluctant to say goodbye, we had to say goodbye after all.

She turned and got into the carriage.

"Take care, Your Majesty the Queen." Xie Jin said goodbye calmly, "We're leaving first."

Rong Zhan reluctantly said: "If my sister needs me, I am actually very willing to stay."

"Second brother, it's better to go to the military camp quickly." Chu Qinghuang said, "If you are late, be careful of my father beating you."

Rong Zhan clicked his tongue: "My sister is really not cute."

Although he said this, Rong Zhan's heart pounded when he thought of his father returning to Dongling with them this time.

Chu Qinghuang turned her head and looked at Fucang standing aside, "Take care."

Fu Cang pursed his lips, feeling reluctant in his heart.

The team gradually went away, and Chu Qinghuang stood outside the imperial city, suddenly feeling lost.

All gone.

The originally bustling family had all left, including Fucang, leaving her alone.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became deserted.

Chu Qinghuang got on the horse and looked at the distant team. After a while, she turned the horse's head and said, "Go back to the palace."

Chu Xuanyi rode his horse to follow.

He did not think deeply about the obvious close relationship between Chu Qinghuang and the Dongling royal family. He had been in contact with Chu Qinghuang a lot during this period, and he had become accustomed to turning a blind eye and closing his ears. He listened as much as he should. , what should not be heard is gone with the wind.

Overthinking won't do you any good and will only add to your worries.

The half day passed quickly.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the palace gate, and the civil and military officials of the entire court were still waiting in the main hall. No one left before they got the order.

Accompanied by a high-pitched and feminine sound of "Her Majesty the Queen has arrived——", hundreds of officials knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." A eunuch hurriedly ran up to the hall, "The Queen... the Queen Mother collapsed!"

The expressions of the civil and military officials in the court suddenly changed, and they began to cry.

Chu Qinghuang's eyebrows flashed in deep thought, but his expression was cold: "The Ministry of Rites is responsible for preparing the funeral. Now that the national treasury is not sufficient, the funeral should not be excessive."

The Minister of Rites received the order cautiously: "I obey the order."

"The Queen Mother passed away. I am deeply saddened, so I will rest for three days." Chu Qinghuang stood up, "The funeral ceremony will be carried out according to the royal etiquette, and there must be no mistakes."

"I obey the decree."

…

PS: The systems of each dynasty are different. In some dynasties, the death of the queen mother, emperor, and queen is called "collapse", the death of concubines, princes and princes is called "die", and the death of lower levels is called "die".

Beng can be used here, and 薨 can also be used.
