The eldest princess looked at her son running towards her, her face was as rosy as a twenty-year-old girl, and the smile on her face became more and more gentle.
"We travel again and again, and we are separated from you forever. We are more than ten thousand miles apart, and we are each at the end of the world... Missing you makes you grow old, and the years are suddenly too late... Don't abandon your donations and return to the road, work hard to make more meals... "The eldest princess put her hand in Ban Huai's hand who finally came over, and murmured, "Work hard to have more... meals..."
She seemed to suddenly become energetic, and her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
"The water is clear," she looked at her son with a smile, "the young man we are looking for is so handsome. I will tell your father when we get back."
"Yeah." Ban Huai choked with sobs and hummed.
Suddenly, the eldest princess's hand dropped weakly, and her bright eyes slowly closed. She fell asleep with a smile, but she would never wake up again.
Ban Huai opened his mouth and kept twitching, but he couldn't make any sound, and he couldn't even shed a tear. He was like a fish jumping out of the pool, trying to open his mouth wide, but he didn't know where the salvation was. .
"Her Royal Highness Princess Dening...has gone."
"Master Hou." Yin took Ban Huai into his arms and patted his back gently, again and again. Finally, Ban Huai cried out, like a baby swallow that had lost its mother, each sound more desperate than the last, crying blood.
Banhua sat on the ground in a daze, muttering something in a low voice, as if he had lost his mind. Rong Xia grabbed her clenched hand and pulled her fingers apart little by little, only to find that her palm was already **** and bloody. She didn't know when it was pinched by her nails. The skin and flesh were sticky together, which was shocking.
"I'm useless..."
Rong Xia heard clearly what Ban Hua said, he held her cold palm and said firmly: "I don't blame you, it's not your fault." He turned around and looked at the imperial doctor kneeling outside, "The princess's hand is injured."
Emperor Yunqing reacted and waved for the imperial doctor to come over, "Be careful, don't hurt the princess."
When the imperial doctor saw the separation of the Ban family, he felt really mixed emotions. He suddenly came to his senses after hearing the emperor's order: "Yes." When he saw clearly who was holding Princess Fule's wrist Finally, he glanced at Rong Xia in surprise, then lowered his head to deal with the wound on Banhua's palm.
"Your Majesty," after Banhua's wounds were treated, Rong Xia walked up to Emperor Yunqing, knelt down and said, "Wei Chen just ruined the honor of the princess in front of many people, Wei Chen wishes Marry the princess for the good name of the princess."
Emperor Yunqing and the Queen were stunned when they heard this, and suddenly remembered that Rong Xia had just carried Banhua into the main hall, and said that he was Banhua's husband in front of the eldest princess. This is a temporary measure and should not be taken seriously, but there are imperial doctors, imperial doctors, palace maids and eunuchs here today. If word spreads, it will really not be helpful to Banhua's reputation.
"Jun Po, I know that you are a gentleman and cannot bear to ruin a woman's reputation, but..." Emperor Yun Qing looked at the Ban family members who were in grief, "Marriage is a major event, you don't have to wrong yourself like this."
He knew how much Rong Xia was admired by his daughter's family in the capital. It was not difficult for such a son to marry a woman with both talent and beauty, and a distinguished status. A woman like Banhua would not be able to marry her. Not what he likes.
Because he is worried about the loss of a woman's reputation, he asks to marry her. Such a man is indeed a rare gentleman.
"The princess is kind and lovely, and I love the princess so much that I am lucky to marry him." Rong Xia bowed to Emperor Yunqing and said, "Your Majesty and your empress, please do this for me. Big media."
Emperor Yun Qing sighed secretly in his heart, a gentleman should be like Rong Xia, but speaking like this actually ruined the woman's face, making it impossible for anyone to find any fault, even though both he and the queen knew that Rong Xia didn't like Hua at all. Hua, I can’t say anything at this moment.
"Just wait for the eldest princess..."
Emperor Yun Qing's throat moved, his eyes were red and he was speechless. He wanted to find a suitable husband for Banhua, but at this moment, he couldn't open the door to him, and the Ban family probably didn't want to talk about marriage.
People from the Ministry of Rites came and went, and it seemed that there were other people coming and going. The four members of the Ban family would just obey the emperor's instructions blankly. The emperor even said that the funeral hall of the eldest princess should be located in the palace. , when the funeral ceremony regulations were only a little lower than those of the Queen Mother, the Ban family members did not show much joy on their faces. They were like confused children. They did whatever Emperor Yun Qing said without any doubt.
The more they behaved like this, the more guilty Emperor Yun Qing felt. His aunt died for him. If his aunt hadn't come forward, he would be the one lying in the mourning hall at this moment, not his aunt.
The more he thought about it, the more grand the funeral he held for the Grand Duke became. According to the funeral rites of the Empress Dowager, she usually has to remain in mourning for twenty-seven days, receive salvation from monks, and the whole country must observe mourning for six months. Emperor Yunqing wanted to follow the Queen Mother's regulations, but there was no precedent for this. He had no choice but to follow the highest regulations on princess funeral ceremonies recorded in history books.
On the twenty-fourth day of the mourning period, all officials of the third rank or above in the capital will come to mourn the eldest princess. The whole country observes mourning for three months. No drinking, no entertainment, no marriage. Anyone who violates the etiquette will be severely punished. .
The whole world knew that the eldest princess died trying to save her, so there was no one who did not dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of the emperor. There are also some talented and famous people who wrote books and biographies about the eldest princess. Some praised her for her loyalty, some praised her for her benevolence and righteousness, and all kinds of beautiful praises were placed on the eldest princess.
The Jingting Hou Mansion, which had always been lively in the past, seemed to have fallen silent these days. No matter what rumors spread outside, they never said a word.
"Princess," Granny Chang said three big salutes to Banhua, "this old slave is ordered by Your Highness to serve the Princess."
"Aunt Chang," Banhua helped up Aunt Chang with her own hands and said with red and swollen eyes, "Grandma, did you say anything?"
Mammy Chang looked at the princess who had lost a lot of weight in front of her, and smiled happily: "His Royal Highness said that you are the most like her. She hopes that you will live like she did when she was young, lively and free."
Banhua walked to the window, looked at the white paper lanterns hanging outside the yard, and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandma must have been very beautiful when she was young."
"Yes." Aunt Chang picked up a cloak and put it on Banhua's shoulders, "I heard that before Her Highness got married, she was the most beautiful person in the world, and she wanted to marry the son of her aristocratic family. She came from the city. There are rows from the east to the west of the city."
The corners of Banhua's lips trembled: "I'm not as good as my grandmother."
"No, you are very good." Aunt Chang looked at Banhua kindly, "As good as His Highness."
Banhua looked out the window blankly, and after a long time said: "It's snowing again."
Nanny Chang looked at the white yard and stood beside Banhua silently without saying a word.
Shortly after New Year's Eve, the eldest princess was buried, and the funeral road was filled with road sacrifices put out by various governments.
The princess's mausoleum was built long ago, and after her death, she finally lay together with her beloved consort.
Life is at different times, but death is at the same point. May the two of you be in love and never be separated in the next life.
Banhua bowed three times and kowtowed to the mausoleum. She kowtowed heavily on each head. The dull sound was like her longing for her grandmother. Even though she was reluctant to leave, she could only look at the grave. The center of this gorgeous but unpopular mausoleum.
"Close the mausoleum!"
The moment the door of the mausoleum was closed, countless mechanisms in the tomb made clicking sounds. Banhua stared blankly at everything in front of her, letting snowflakes fall all over her head.
"Cousin, please have my condolences." The prince in plain clothes walked up behind Banhua. He asked the **** behind him to hold an umbrella for Banhua to cover her from the heavy snow falling above her head. "My aunt's spirit in heaven must hope You live a good life instead of being sad because of her."
"Cousin the prince," Banhua looked back at the prince and was stunned for a long time before saying, "Thank you."
The prince knew that she didn't listen to his words at all, so he had to say to her, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Go back."
Banhua pursed her lips, strode to the tombstone, wiped off the snowflakes on the tombstone with her hands, and said softly: "Grandma, I will definitely visit you and my grandfather often in the future. You guys live a good life underground. …When Huahua comes to see you in the future, don’t dislike Huahua.”
"Your Highness," Rong Xia walked up to the prince holding an umbrella, saluted him, and then walked towards Banhua.
Banhua was wearing mourning clothes, with no makeup on her face. Even her hair was only fixed into a bun with a plain silver hairpin, and there were no other accessories. Rong Xia put the umbrella on the ground, took off her plain white cloak and put it on Banhua. Then she picked up the umbrella on the ground and held it on Banhua's head: "Princess."
"Uncle Rong," Banhua wiped the corners of his eyes, "Why are you here?"
"Seeing the princess standing in the snow in thin clothes, Rong came over to take a look." Rong Xia paused, "Your family is waiting for you over there."
Banhua turned around and saw her father, mother and younger brother standing not far away. Her originally cold heart gradually warmed up. She blessed Rong Xia, "Thank you, uncle."
She walked out from under the umbrella and ran towards Ban's family.
Rong Xia watched her leave quietly, then got under the umbrella held by her mother, looked back at the tombstone next to her that had a thin layer of snow on it, and reached out to gently brush away the layer. Snow, took a step back, put down her umbrella, and bowed to the tombstone.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Ban Heng noticed Banhua stopped and worried that she was still sad, so he stretched out his hand to hold her sleeve, "Be careful where you step."
Banhua looked at the man who bowed to his grandmother in the snow, withdrew his gaze and whispered: "Well, we must all be careful where we step."
The death of Her Royal Highness the Princess is not a big event for many people, but for some people, it is a matter of joy.
Without the eldest princess, the Ban family has lost its support, and those who have been angered by the Ban family begin to feel anxious in their hearts. But on the third day after the burial of the eldest princess, a decree was issued in the palace, and Ban Huai was granted the title of Duke of Jingting, enjoying the title of Duke of Jinting.
After the eldest princess passed away, the emperor was so sad that he stayed away from court for three days. Even on the day of the eldest princess's burial, he cried so much that he could not stand. The people who originally wanted to take revenge on the Ban family suddenly realized that the eldest princess died for His Majesty. As long as the Jiang family wants to save face, and as long as the Ban family does not commit the crime of killing the nine tribes, then the current emperor and the next generation of emperors will treat the Ban family favorably.
This major assassination case ended with the death of the eldest princess from serious injuries. However, the mastermind behind the assassination case has not been found yet. His Majesty was furious and ordered a strict investigation. At the same time, the commander and deputy commander of the Imperial Guards all Received severe punishment.
"Have you found out?" Emperor Yunqing thought that the people serving him might want to kill him, so he couldn't eat or sleep well. After checking the entire harem several times, he was still uneasy until this assassination case. The person behind the scenes was pulled out of the water.
