Chapter 56: Have You Woken Up?
The next day, the happy Han Emperor announced to the government and the opposition that Concubine Xiang had been pregnant with the dragon seed for four months, and in order to bless the prince to be born safely, all officials with rank must rush to Fulai Temple on the fifteenth day of this month, after bathing in fragrant soup, pray for the prince, and then fast for three months.
As soon as this edict came out, the government and the opposition were boiling, and everyone knelt down and worshiped on the ground, shouting three long live, God bless my court.
Emperor Han stroked his long black and shiny beard and smiled pleasantly.
The news reached **, since some people were happy and some were worried, Gong Grandma listened to Gong E's whispered prayer with a face, her eyes jumped a few times, and she lowered her voice and ordered: "A few of you, Qiao Zhuang dressed up and went out of the palace, be sure to invite Princess Chaoyang back, at this critical juncture, why doesn't this girl grow up!"
You must know that if Concubine Xiang conceived and gave birth to a boy in October, the monarch would inevitably be established as the crown prince, and the status of Princess Chaoyang, the crown princess, would be in jeopardy.
The palace ladies took the order.
Grandma Gong held the floating dragon statue beside her for a while, sighed heavily, and went back to Hanhai Palace to offer incense to the first queen.
In the Hanhai Palace, Emperor Han stood in front of the portrait of Empress Wende, which was canonized by Empress Wende, made by the most famous painter of the Han Kingdom.
"Hongchen is bustling, it turns out to be so nothing, it's better to go back and pick up a broom and sweep the floor!"
Outside the hall, someone was walking towards the open palace gate.
"The old slave has asked the king for peace. ”
Grandma Gong knelt under the eaves of the palace, touching the high threshold with both hands, her voice was clear, Emperor Han's eyebrows jumped, and he turned his head to stare at Grandma Gong's wrinkled face.
Grandma Gong hurriedly lowered her eyes and looked at the mottled threshold in front of her, which had peeled off the paint.
"Did you send someone out to look for the rising sun without permission?"
“...... Yes, the former queen once told the old slave that she should treat Chaoyang with a loving mother in this life, and the old slave naturally has to be extra careful, she ran out recklessly like this, can you rest assured?"
Emperor Han smiled faintly, raised his palm and looked at the lines on it: "Why don't I worry? She has her own luck, and you and I can't control this." ”
Grandma Gong raised her head and looked aggrieved: "Why are you, your lord...... Even if Princess Chaoyang is really ignorant, she is the only flesh and blood left by Empress Wende, and you are distressed in the past!"
Emperor Han laughed a few times, and his eyes slowly condensed, falling on Gong Grandma's face full of tears.
"Nan Ke is dreaming, you haven't woken up yet?"
"Huh, what are you talking about?"
Emperor Han moved to Gong Grandma's side, reached out and patted her on the top of her head, and said in a low voice: "It seems that I have to help you, old fellow, have you woken up?"
Gong Grandma, who was lying on the ground, spit out the strength of Emperor Han's palm, turned around twice on the spot, and fell to the ground with a bang, and a palace maid and eunuch saw it in the distance and wanted to come over to help her up, but when she saw that it was the monarch who pushed Gong Grandma to, they all took three steps back and disappeared into the shadows.
The frightened Grandma Gong lay on the ground and gasped for a while, and a wind blew from nowhere, enveloping her and Emperor Han.
Grandma Gong raised her eyes to look at Emperor Han who was close at a moment's notice, and the expression on her face gradually changed from stunned to calm.
"I'm worried about you, old man, you hit me so hard, you want to fall to death!"
"Hehe, it's a rare opportunity to drop you, how can I miss it?"
Grandma Gong got up from the ground, smoothed out her wrinkled dress, and complained: "It's been like this all the time, you and I have our own pleasures, why did you blow up your identity today?
"The emperor has appeared, he will naturally use his own methods to find the master mother, you and I are redundant here, I do this, but I want to pack up my hands and tails as soon as possible, so that I can go back!"
Grandma Gong stroked her forehead with her hand: "Go back, how long have you and I been here?"
Emperor Han was also at a loss, raised his fingers and calculated, and said in a deep voice: "I have forgotten how many years it has been, but what does it matter? ”
Grandma Gong smiled and said quietly: "It may not be so easy for you to move the nest, your prince has not yet been born, do you want to stage a scene of death tonight?
Emperor Han tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "This is the emperor's family matter, not something you and I can comment on....... Since the emperor has sealed the spiritual platform by himself and trapped himself here, he has naturally set up a heart to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and he will definitely be able to bring the master mother back, Prince Chenyong is still waiting for his parents to return in the palace, and the emperor must be hanging in his heart, I see, maybe during this time, the emperor will be able to find the master mother, don't you say?"
Grandma Gong's face was full of wrinkles and flowers, and she looked up at the distant sky: "Seriously, I really miss the prince in my heart, I wonder if he has learned to walk?"
