{EMPEROR ZONG YU'S REIGN OF GREATNESS: The First Year}
The funeral procession happened without too many problems after the first day.
The Royal relatives, particularly Royal Father's Princes, came to take over and stand vigil over the nights.
As the deceased Emperor's Crowned daughter-in-law, I watched over the procession in Lóng Diān Sì as supervisor.
The Empress was supposed to have done this job, but she had been reported to be sick with grief. The Royal Physicians assigned to Feng Huang Tang informed me that she could not get out of bed.
Zheng informed the Royal relatives like so, and the Princes accepted the explanation without much protest.
The seventh day came.
A few eunuchs who worked at the temple began the tradition to call for the Emperor's soul to return at the hour of the Hare, when the sun was beginning to rise.
The chosen eunuch, who was wearing his usual grey robes for the ceremony, climbed a ladder onto the roof of the empty Di Huang Tang.
