In her previous life, she had learned to pretend to be weak and pitiful in order to please Mu Chennian.

Facts have proved that this method really works. Everyone's eyes are full of sympathy. The eldest princess takes her hand and pats her gently to comfort her. Mu Chennian's heart is full of heartache.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Lan Yue Pavilion." The eldest princess pulled Xiao Zixi and walked into the courtyard.

Xiao Zixi sighed in her heart. In the past seven years, she knew every corner of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, except for the slightly different flowers, plants and trees.

There is a pond in "Lan Yue Pavilion". At night, the shadow of the moon is reflected backwards, and the shadows of the trees beside the pond are slightly moved by the wind, as if they want to take the moon shadow into their arms, so it is named "Lan Yue Pavilion".

In her previous life, she also lived here before she and Mu Chennian got married.

Kunning Palace

The imperial doctors knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent."

The Queen Mother on the couch looked haggard and her eyes were unfocused. Emperor Qing was angry and waved his sleeves and said: "Get down!"

"Mother, does she still have some unfulfilled wishes?" Emperor Qing asked softly.

"Just remember what you promised to the Ai family." After saying that, he took his last breath.

Emperor Qing breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down to salute the Empress Dowager's body: "Farewell to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother was the late Emperor's first wife, not his biological mother, and she had never been close to him. However, for some reason, when the late Emperor died, the Queen Mother would support him in ascending the throne.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the Empress Dowager will die and all the ministers will enter the palace to pay homage. Within seven days, there will be no banquets, marriages, or conquests. The teahouses, restaurants, singing and dancing arches in Beijing will be closed, and people will not be allowed to gather for entertainment. Anyone who violates this will be executed... …”

For a time, the mourning crowds in the streets and alleys were crying loudly.

The funerals of emperors, empresses, emperors, and queen mothers are called national mourning.

According to the Dakyung Dian system, on this day, the royal family and officials must come out in full force, like a long queue.

Walking at the front were the banner-ushers, followed by the emperor's guard of honor, holding various kinds of paper banners. Behind the Zi Palace were the fully armed imperial guards, and then came the ranks of civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor, and the carriages. The sedan chair stretches continuously and moves very slowly.

Zi Palace was surrounded by the emperor's relatives, and behind them were the civil and military officials. Everyone had serious expressions and walked slowly forward.

The long procession walked for an hour before arriving outside the capital and in front of the late emperor's mausoleum. After some trivial matters, the queen mother and the late emperor were buried together.

After the national mourning, the streets and alleys returned to life, as if something had happened, and as if nothing had happened.

Inside Lanyue Pavilion

Wearing a white outfit, her long hair was tied up with a hairband, she raised her sword, raised her wrist, and turned her wrist all in one movement. All the maids in the courtyard were in high spirits and looked at their master intently.

Sheathing the sword, Xiao Zixi looked at the sword in her hand and was very satisfied.Marquis Pingyang heard that she was good at swords, so he specially found it and gave it to her as a gift.

Dongmei handed over the handkerchief and Xiao Zixi wiped away the sweat.Dongmei is a maid given to her by the queen, and there is also Dongxue.

In her previous life, she did not live in the Queen's Palace. Dongmei and Dongxue were given to her by Emperor Qing when she got married, and presumably it was Emperor Qing's idea.Neither of these two people could be trusted. They tried every possible means to climb onto Mu Chennian's bed, but were killed by the eldest princess. That was also the first time she saw Mu Chennian furious.

Xiao Zixi's heart froze and she waited for the opportunity to deal with these two people.

"Princess, Miss Fu's hair will grow in the future, and I invite you to attend the ceremony." Shuang'er reported.

Shuang'er was given to her by the eldest princess. Shuang'er is older, as careful as dust, and behaves properly.
