The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapters 272. The Queen Mother's Funeral
The sound of death music echoing through the heart. The monks' chants had been heard since the early morning blind even before the sun appeared to be accompanied by a rhythmic knock. The white fabrics installed in some places waved and swung in the slowly blowing wind. Sending coldness in every day due to the gloomy atmosphere.
Today, Suri's mother will be buried in the royal tomb. A memory stone bearing the real name of Suri's mother accompanied by her honorary title was placed in front of a coffin that had been sealed tightly. All the family members gathered around. Everyone wears white clothes. Today, to pay homage to the Queen Mother for the last time, everyone stripped her title and became a commoner. Even the Emperor also stripped off his oversized robe in public and changed into a plain white robe. Just like everyone.
Everyone's faces looked strong. During the seven days of the Queen Mother's death, everyone had taken turns accompanying her in the mourning room. Neither son nor daughter-in-law. Even the grandchildren and grandchildren of the son-in-law also come and go.
Now, after seven days of the Queen Mother being laid in the coffin, everyone will let go of her forever. Everyone came to take the Queen Mother to her resting place. His Majesty, who was among them even though his face looked indifferent as usual, today his light looks dim. Showed a little fragility. After all a man, he would feel sad and lost as he was left behind by their partner who had accompanied and spent years with him.
The atmosphere today was even more gloomy than ordinary days. Although none of them were crying anymore, their sad faces showed that they were grieving. The aroma of the offering incense filled the air mixed with the smell of smoke from the burning banknotes.
A monk presided over the final ceremony for consummation. People believe in life after death. By holding a perfect funeral, the deceased person will be able to reincarnate quickly and be reborn into someone with good fortune.
After the whole ceremony was completed, the chest of Suri's mother was carried by four bodyguards who had a sturdy body and good appearance above average. The clothes they used though were still white, but the materials used were clearly very different from the materials they were used to.
The royal tomb is at the very back of the palace although it is still within the scope of the palace. Everyone followed to the tomb but not everyone was allowed to enter the tomb area.
Inside the tomb area, the monk leader led other monks to perform a solemn release ceremony. When finished, Suri's mother's coffin was put into a sizable burrow that was in one of the empty spaces. As the coffin began to fall, tears began to flow back. Especially the loyal servants of Suri's mother during her life.
After the death of his master, these servants were given the right to choose either to devote themselves to the grave of his master or to choose a new master. But there is a belief that if a deceased person has a servant who guards his grave, that person will have a prosperous life in the afterlife. Of course, the price to pay is not easy. A servant who chooses to be faithful and chooses to serve their dead master is that after this, they will be like the dead. They are only allowed to wear white all their lives, nor will they be able to marry anyone. Even for food, they had to eat vegetarian food like the monks. Therefore it was extremely rare for any servant to be willing to live the rest of his life in such a manner. That is why it is not uncommon for families of people who have died to be willing to pay a lot of money to buy people who are willing to guard their family graves.
But the queen mother was a good employer for her servants during her life. Not only did the old servant choose to guard the tomb of Suri's mother, some other servants were also willing to do the same. Today, they had all prepared to stay in the tomb for the rest of their lives.
Lu Jing Yu never expected to see such a heart-wrenching sight. He doesn't know how to deal with problems like this. Trust is hard to change. Then suddenly appeared in his heart, will there be no one willing to guard his tomb like these servants? If he had known earlier, he would have definitely banned anyone from doing so. It would be foolish to spend the rest of your life in prison. It would be better if the rest of life that is so precious is used to do many things. Wouldn't that way, their dead master would even be happier?
Eih... It will not easily change the direction of the people here.
Pei Zhang Xi saw Lu Jing Yu sigh and frowned. "What's the problem?" He whispered in Lu Jing Yu's ear.
"Hmmm. There aren't. Just a passing thought." Lu Jing Yu shook her head..
This time was the first time Lu Jing Yu had entered the ancestral hall. Normally, any couple who had just married would go visit the ancestral hall to ask for blessings, but due to the lousy relationship between him and Pei Zhang Xi at the beginning of the wedding, it was due to the bad relationship between him and Pei Zhang Xi at the beginning of the wedding, Pei Zhang Xi never took him away. Never mind carrying it, intending to talk about it is also unheard of.
Closing off a series of funeral events, all members of the royal family came and gathered inside the ancestral hall to pay their respects to the Queen Mother's memory stone for the first time.
Everyone stood according to his status within the palace. The princes would take their wives, but some princes brought their concubines for various reasons.
Lu Jing Yu had not seen Yun Ying for a long time since she had visited him at the King Wei residence because of his busy life. He only sent herbs to her periodically. On the day of Suri's mother's death, he also did not meet nor did he even see her. Right now everyone was coming, so Lu Jing Yu wanted to meet him. For so long he did not see her, he was worried. However since his men whom he had told to be by Yun Ying's side did not give him any news, he felt a little calm.
Lu Jing Yu from the beginning was busy paying attention to every detail of the ceremony that looked so interesting and made her curious that she did not pay attention to any other issues. The moment this ceremony was over, he began to daze in search of Yun Ying's whereabouts. But after he found Pei Wu Shan, Lu Jing Yu was very disappointed because the one next to Pei Wu Shan was not Yun Ying as usual but Ke Mei Jia....
What the hell is going on? What happened to Yun Ying? Why would he let that woman take his place attend such an important event in the palace?
