Sure enough, as Xie Xian had said, just as dawn broke, the palace had already sent letters to the various manors, asking the Fourth Rank and above women to enter the palace to mourn. Except for the elderly and the sick, all of them were present.
Mother Xie is old, Empress Xiao specially instructed her not to enter the palace, but to mourn in the mansion.
The rest of the people in the residence, other than the widowed Wang Qiang, Lady Cai, Lady Wang, Xiao Baoxin, and Twelfth Mother Wang had all entered the palace.
On the sixth day of August of the seventh year of Yongping, the emperor was buried.
On the seventh day, the courtiers and foreign women entered the palace to mourn.
When Xiao Baoxin arrived, the women waiting outside Taiji Palace were already gone. The sky was a little overcast, and the wind was blowing with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain at any moment.
The gate of the palace was not opened for a long time, and everyone was worried.
