Chapter Seventy-Three: The Year-End Feast 1
Because the number of funeral attendants was too large, the entire funeral procession really responded to the phrase "the dragon sees the head but not the tail", and it stretched out for several miles on the long street in front of the prince's mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe people at the front of the team are gone, and the people at the back of the team can't see clearly......
Because Liang Shenglan is a woman and married, she has no part in the funeral.
As a result, Liang Shenglan could only stand in front of the Prince's Mansion with tears in her eyes, watching the coffins of Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying gradually drift away surrounded by more than 1,000 people......
According to Liang Ruming's previous instructions, when they arrive at Shengling, the bodies of Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying will be removed from the two ordinary coffins and transferred to the gloomy wooden coffin ordered by Liang Ruming, and buried together with the coffin......
It is said that the people of the royal family have passed away, but all those with orthodox status, except for the princess who marryed outside, most of the others will be buried in the imperial mausoleum. But how far away is the imperial mausoleum? No one will go to the imperial mausoleum to worship the dead when they are full.
Therefore, the coffins of Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying will be sent to the Sheng Mausoleum for burial, and the tablets of the two of them will be sent to the Zong Temple.
In the future, the tablets of Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying will enjoy the incense sacrifice of future generations in the temple......
Having said that, although the coffins of Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying have set off for Shengling surrounded by more than 1,000 people, the prince's mansion will continue to be a three-day requisition dojo.
Leng Qing is here to see Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying on their last journey today, but she is not interested in watching those monks and Taoist priests do dojos.
Now that Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying's coffins have set off for Shengling, Leng Qing feels that there is no need for her to continue to stay in the prince's mansion, and it just so happens that Liang Ruming also said that he is tired...... So, Leng Qing and Liang Ruming decided to go back to the palace on this basis.
So, in the midst of everyone's kneeling and respect, Liang Ruming and Leng Qing returned to the palace in a majestic manner.
boarded the halo book in front of the main gate of the prince's mansion, and as soon as Leng Qing sat down, the guards outside the car put down the curtain that had been raised, and the world outside the car was completely isolated......
Walking slowly all the way back to the palace, Leng Qing looked sideways at the translucent gauze curtain on her side, and could vaguely see the scenery outside the car.
Quietly watching the scenery outside the car gradually change all the way, just when Leng Qing estimated that the halogen book should almost be in front of the Qinglong Gate, and would enter the palace gate after a while, the mighty halogen book suddenly stopped gradually.
The halogen book suddenly stopped, and Leng Qing knew that it must have been Liang Ruming who shouted to stop the halogen book even if she didn't think about it.
But as for why Liang Ruming called for a halt to the halogen book, Leng Qing is unknown......
Although Leng Qing wanted to ask Liang Ruming, whether it was when he came or returned, although Leng Qing took the emperor's book under Liang Ruming's imperial grace, because of Leng Qing's identity, Leng Qing could not ride in the same car as Liang Ruming, and the frame Leng Qing sat on was very far away from Liang Ruming's frame......
Just when Leng Qing was puzzled and no one asked, the curtain of the car door in front of him was suddenly lifted from the outside, and Zhang Xuanfu, who was following Liang Ruming, was standing under the car with a smile.
Seeing Leng Qing, Zhang Xuanfu first saluted respectfully to Leng Qing who was sitting in the car, and then raised his head to look at Leng Qing, and explained with a smile: "Zhaoyi Niangniang, just now the Holy Lord ordered, saying that Zhaoyi Niangniang has been working hard to serve the Holy Driver in the past few days, and the imperial service is very hard. When he heard that Che Hou was now sick in bed and was seriously injured, he kindly asked Zhaoyi Niangniang to go back to her parents' house for two days. Waiting until the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhaoyi Niangniang entered the palace with Chehou. ”
Listening to Zhang Xuanfu's words, Leng Qing could hear that most of the words in front were scene words, which were spoken to others, and the real focus was on the last sentence: "Wait until the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhaoyi Niangniang will enter the palace with Chehou".
Yes, after Zhang Xuanfu finished speaking, Leng Qing, who was sitting in the car, asked, "Well, why wait until Chinese New Year's Eve?" Liang Ruming asked her to wait until this day and go back to the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner???
Zhang Xuanfu, who was standing under the car, heard this, and still smiled on his face: "Zhaoyi Niangniang has not been in the palace for a long time, so I don't know. Since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, since the Holy Ancestors, the rule of feasting the courtiers on the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve has been set every year. On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, banquets were held in the palace, and it was stipulated that all officials in Beijing above the fifth rank were required to enter the palace to attend the banquet. You can also bring a family member with you. Because this day is about the joy of the monarch and the minister, there is no need to divide the table, even if it is a female dependent. ”
After silently listening to Zhang Xuanfu's explanation, Leng Qing understood in the blink of an eye—this is the same reason as the year-end banquet held by those large companies in the 21st century at the end of each year...... It's just an employee under Liang Ruming, a big boss...... More ...... The identity is also relatively unusual......
It is said that although Leng Qing has officially entered the palace to serve the monarch now, in fact, ...... Under Liang Ruming's deliberate indulgence, Leng Qing ran outside the palace when he was fine, most of the time Leng Qing went to Zhu Zimo's mansion to nest, and occasionally walked around the city.
Leng Qing's behavior of "not being in the room" naturally attracted the malice of all the officials of Daliang...... It is said that Liang Ruming can receive every day from the Manchu officials to impeach Leng Qing and demand that Leng Qing be removed from the concubine and sent to the cold palace......
Once Liang Ruming was on a whim, and he also showed Leng Qing the excerpts of those speech officials participating in Leng Qing. Looking at the lines of swearing words on the fold without swearing, and without repeating malicious words throughout the book, Leng Qing only felt that she couldn't cry or laugh.
I have to say that if it were replaced by women in this other world who were played by those officials, and insulted in different ways, I am afraid that those women would not be able to bear it for a long time......
According to Liang Ruming, Liang Ruming hopes that Leng Qing can temporarily soften his posture and save some face for those officials, so that after a while, those officials will not always stare at Leng Qing.
Leng Qing also wanted to follow Liang Ruming's suggestion...... But Leng Qing is from the 21st century, and she does not have the servility of women in this other world who are willing to be controlled by men, and Leng Qing has suffered several lives, deaths and persecutions, and her heart has already been tempered to be extremely strong, and her mental endurance is also beyond ordinary people......
As a result, Leng Qing naturally failed to follow Liang Ruming's wishes......
Thereupon...... In the face of the malice of the Manchu officials, Leng Qing still went her own way, running both inside and outside the palace......
It's not that Leng Qing doesn't give face to those officials, it's just ...... Who let her have Liang Ruming on her head! With Liang Ruming as a big guy to protect her, why is she afraid of a mere official who can only rely on her mouth? ? ?
Of course, the reason why Leng Qing dared to do her own thing and didn't take those officials in her eyes was not entirely because of Liang Ruming's protection. The main reason is that Leng Qing doesn't believe that for her Zhaoyi, who is not enough to worry about and did not instigate Liang Ruming to do anything hurtful to the heavens and reason, those officials will really work hard against Liang Ruming......
Leng Qing estimated that the reason why those officials were always holding on to her, seeing the heavens and the earth handing over to Liang Ruming's desk, even if Liang Ruming stayed in the middle and didn't send it, he was still happy to do it, mainly for two reasons-
First, it is because men in this other world have long been accustomed to firmly controlling women, and those women are required to behave and do things according to the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" and "Women's Precepts" compiled by their men. And her appearance, for those officials, is against the teachings of "Three Obedience and Four Virtues", so it is right for those officials to look down on her;
These two...... Leng Qing thinks that it is probably because there are no major things in the court of Daliang now, and even if there are things, they are all trivial things, and those officials are really idle and have nothing to do, so they can only find trouble......
In short, to sum up, Leng Qing was not afraid of the participation of those speech officials at all, even if those speech officials scolded her for being a demon concubine who charmed the lord and brought disaster to the country and the people, Leng Qing just smiled indifferently.
Anyway, in general, unless Liang Ruming took the initiative to let Leng Qing stay in the palace, Leng Qing rarely stayed in the palace.
It's not that Leng Qing doesn't like the land of the court, it's really ...... Liang Ruming's concubines are too capable!!
There is a small quarrel between husband and wife for three days and a big quarrel for five days, but the concubines of Liang Ruming are - a small work in three days and a big work in five days, not only made tricks, but also made new ideas and heights!!
It is true that Leng Qing is not afraid of Liang Ruming's concubines, even without Liang Ruming's help, Leng Qing can properly settle those concubines, but ...... If you can make yourself relaxed and happy, why should Leng Qing cause all those troubles? ?
At this time, I heard that I didn't need to follow Liang Ruming back to the palace to fight wits and courage with his concubines...... Leng Qing couldn't ask for it! So, Leng Qing very simply responded to the matter of going to Zhu's Mansion on the spot.
So, Zhang Xuanfu, who was smiling, arranged another frame and guards, and sent Leng Qing all the way to the door of Zhufu Mansion safely.
So, in the end, the only people who really returned to the palace were Liang Ruming and the vast team of halo books......
When they arrived at the gate of Zhu's mansion, after Leng Qing got out of the car, the dozens of royal forest soldiers who were responsible for escorting Leng Qing said goodbye to Leng Qing.
According to Liang Ruming's instructions, Leng Qing was going to stay in Zhu's Mansion for two days, and Leng Qing naturally waved their hands to signal them to go back to the palace.
Because it was now sunset, the door of Zhu's mansion had been closed, Leng Qing walked up the stairs, walked to the closed door of Zhu's mansion, raised his hand, and knocked on the copper shop on the door.
As the sound of several impacts fell, it didn't take long for the door of the Zhu Mansion to open a crack from the inside, and then I saw a little guy's head poking out from the crack in the door.
It is said that Leng Qing's time in Zhu's Mansion is not short, especially after Leng Qing was named Zhaoyi, Leng Qing often travels between Liang Xiaocheng and Zhu's Mansion, which leads to the fact that the people in Zhu's Mansion have now more or less met Leng Qing.
Especially the little guy who is in charge of guarding the door - Leng Qing needs the doorkeeper to open the door for her every time she enters and leaves the Zhu Mansion, and the number of times she has taken pictures is too much, and Leng Qing and the doorkeeper are familiar.
Therefore, when the doorkeeper stuck his head on the crack of the door and turned around, and saw that the person standing outside the door was Leng Qing, the doorkeeper was stunned at first, and then asked in a daze: "Zhaoyi Niangniang, the sun is about to set, why did you come back suddenly?"
Leng Qing didn't put up any "mother" shelf with the doorkeeper, but Leng Qing didn't answer the little girl's question, but asked directly: "Is your master at home?"
The little guy who stuck his head in the crack of the door nodded like pounding garlic when he heard this: "Yes, yes." With that, the gatekeeper retracted his head. In the next moment, the door of the Zhu Mansion opened a crack that was just enough for Leng Qing to enter the Zhu Mansion.
Regarding the doorkeeper's behavior of always only opening a crack in the door for her to let her enter the Zhu Mansion, Leng Qing still didn't say anything, raised her feet and stepped into the mansion gate, and strode towards the Zhu Mansion.
The doorkeeper behind Leng Qing kept watching Leng Qing's back disappear behind the Pixiu stone screen engraved with gold and silver jewelry, Fang muttered quietly: "It is said that this Zhaoyi Niangniang is the twin sister of the young lady, but why have I never seen this Zhaoyi Niangniang and the young lady appear at the same time......
The other party......
"Huh, Leng girl, isn't today the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will go to the funeral? Didn't you enter the palace early in the morning? Why do you still have time to come to Ah Mo?" Just as Leng Qing was striding in the direction of the Hanging Flower Gate without squinting, he suddenly heard Mu Ziru's slightly surprised voice coming from his side.
Leng Qing stopped when she heard the sound, and when she looked sideways, she saw Mu Ziru, who was wearing a high ponytail and a navy blue narrow-sleeved robe that was not thin or thick, was slowly walking in her direction from the peach forest that was devastated by the cold winter and only branches remained.
When Mu Ziru walked in front of her, Leng Qingfang replied: "The funeral procession has already set off for Shengling, I was driven out of the car by the emperor on the way back to the palace, and I had nowhere to go, so I came to Zhu Zimo to find a place to live temporarily." ”
Upon hearing Leng Qing's words, Mu Ziru directly gave Leng Qing a look of "disbelief" and said with a smile: "Don't be joking." ”
"Do you think I'm joking?" Leng Qing looked at Mu Ziru seriously and asked seriously.
However, even if Leng Qing was so serious, Mu Ziru didn't believe Leng Qing's words, but looked at Leng Qing with a smile and said, "You are such a beautiful beauty, can the old emperor be willing to drive you out of the car?"
"Ahem......" As soon as Mu Ziru said this, Leng Qing choked on her own saliva as soon as she opened her mouth.
Xu was so frightened that Leng Qing almost coughed up tears.
After finally stopping the cough, Leng Qingfang reminded Mu Ziru helplessly: "Ah Huan, that's the emperor, you must be respectful and humble between your words, don't open your mouth and shout." "Disrespecting the emperor is a matter of life!!
However, when Mu Ziru heard this, he hooked his lips and smiled evilly, and said forcefully: "What? I shouted wrong? Is he old? Is he the emperor? Isn't this together an 'old emperor'?"
has known Mu Ziru for so long, Leng Qing knows Mu Ziru's cheeky and stubborn ability to fight and use strong words......
Yes, hearing Mu Ziru's words, Leng Qing directly waved her hand at Mu Ziru with a disgusted face, and said in a disgusted tone: "Go and go, while playing, I don't have time to fight with you." ”
