Chapter Eighty-Nine: Stop
Early in the morning of the first month of October, the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials to the Taimiao Temple to worship their ancestors, and finally took the imperial court out of Beijing.
In addition to Qin Guogong, there were also Xiao Qian, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, and hundreds of ministers and palace maids and eunuchs, and the group headed towards Dayue Mountain.
Mount Dayue is located in the southern part of the Dadu Dynasty and is adjacent to the Southern Yu Kingdom. The elevation of the main peak Jade Emperor Peak is as high as 2,000 meters, and it is majestic and magnificent, and is known as "the first mountain in the world". Overlapping mountains, heavy mountains, pines, boulders, sea of clouds, the silence is magical, bright and noble.
Emperor Ming of the previous dynasty had come to Dayue Mountain three times, built a temple to shape the gods, and carved stone inscriptions. It's a pity that even so, it failed to bless the Yan dynasty for generations.
When the emperor left Beijing, Qin Yue watched in the teahouse not far from the city.
With her was Duan Chen.
No one thought that the emperor would hand over the responsibility of supervising the country to the five-year-old prince and Duan Chen, the king of Yijun.
Duan Sanye of the Duan State Mansion was once the emperor's righteous brother, and this reward, which was six years late, made many people stunned instantly; It also made the nobles and important ministers who had previously ignored the Duan family have to re-examine the power of the Duan State Mansion.
Qin Yue looked at the handsome man beside him, and couldn't help but joke with him: "I'm just afraid that from now on, the door of Duan Guogong's Mansion will be broken by the matchmakers!" β
Duan Chen was stunned at first, and when he realized what was going on, his face sank. After a while, he said lightly: "I don't plan to start a family!" β
"Why?" Qin Yue couldn't help but ask. In fact, I knew why, but I didn't want to believe that speculation. I have to listen to him and understand it clearly.
Does that count as rubbing salt in his wounds?
Duan Chen replied sullenly: "No, because I don't want to, I don't have this plan." β
Qin Yue raised his eyes and looked. His brow furrowed, obviously remembering some unpleasant past, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Ah Chen, why is he suffering?
Suddenly, there was a small commotion in the traveling procession.
A beautiful young woman with Liujia knelt straight in front of the royal court, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the people's women!" β
Immediately, several dragon guards stepped forward. Dragged the woman away, one of them shouted, "Bold! Stop the car in front of the emperor, and cut it according to the law! You're so damn bad! β
The woman did not forgive. struggled to get up from the ground, crying and scolding, "Xiao Qian, you have no conscience!" The old lady is pregnant with your child. Are you just watching your woman and son being killed? β
The dragon guards present heard Xiao Qian's name. Don't dare to move immediately.
The team had to stop.
Xiao Qian, that's their top boss. offended him, and in the blink of an eye, he had to move. Who has the audacity to kill his woman and son?
Of course, the emperor, who was sitting in the imperial palace, also heard the woman's crying and scolding, and was very surprised. Xiao Qian, who used to be his eldest brother, has always been strict, and his family not only married a wife. Pingsu has never even visited the green/building brothel/house, when did he actually raise an outer room? I'm about to give birth to a son!
Of course, Xiao Qian, who was accompanying the royal car, also heard the woman's words. The expression was indescribable anger - which Wang Ba cake planted Lao Tzu? It's like eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall!
No one knows better than him that not only has he never raised an outer room outside, but he has rarely touched even his wife at home. Except for Juan'er, he will not be tempted by any woman in his life. Even if the woman was stripped naked and standing in front of him, it was impossible to arouse the slightest sexual interest in him.
In his bones, he is a more stubborn and arrogant man than anyone else.
It's a pity that others don't understand his mind, including the emperor.
The emperor had a lot of thoughts about watching the excitement at this time, and only listened to his magnetic male voice coming out of the palace, "Slow! Since it is Xiao Aiqing's friend, how can I blame it! One qiΔ exonerated crime! β
The woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly ran over and knelt down in front of the royal palace again, and said again and again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The women thank the emperor for his fulfillment! β
At this time, Xiao Qian was no longer good at being a turtle with a shrunken head, so he walked over with a black face, stared at the woman, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" I don't know you! The emperor is merciful, since he has forgiven your sins, don't step back quickly! β
The woman stared at Xiao Qian for a long time, wanting to cry but not daring to cry, and choked up: "You, do you really care about me?" β
"I don't know you? Whatever, what do you do? Go away! Xiao Qian's lungs were about to explode, and he really wanted to beat her to death with a fist, but in front of everyone, he didn't dare to really do it.
The woman bit her lower lip stubbornly, her eyes filled with great sorrow and despair, and suddenly stood up, gritted her teeth, and said, "Good! You don't recognize me! I! I'm going to die in front of the royal car todayβ"
Before he finished speaking, the man had already crashed into the royal bowl.
The dragon guards, who were watching the excitement from the sidelines, were frightened and hurriedly rushed forward to rescue her.
The emperor felt more and more interesting, and couldn't help but tease Xiao Qian: "Xiao Shizi, although I am present, don't be embarrassed, admit it quickly, otherwise one corpse and two lives will be worth the loss!" β
Xiao Qian really couldn't say it, and said depressedly: "Your Majesty, that woman, the minister really doesn't know!" β
I don't know if someone in the guard said, "Turn off the lights, and we'll know each other when we go to bed." β
Immediately, the other guards burst into laughter.
The emperor in the royal bowl also smiled.
Xiao Qian was so angry that his teeth itched, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
After the woman was rescued, she kept crying on the side, and at this time she cried and said, "Good! You said you didn't know the slave family, but the slave family knew that there was a black mole the size of a little finger at the base of your right thigh! β
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qian's anger was like thunder, his face was flushed, he was ashamed and angry, and he couldn't wait to get into a crack in the ground.
At the base of his right thigh, there was indeed a black mole the size of a little finger, which had been brought out of the womb. Except for his deceased biological mother and nurse, no one else knows.
But how could this dead woman in front of her, who she didn't know, know this?
At this time, the guards couldn't help but talk about it.
At the base of the right thigh, that's a very private location. It's not something that the average person can see.
This woman can know this, and nine times out of ten she is really his woman. It's just that this Xiao Commander is a humble gentleman, and it's not easy to admit it in front of everyone.
This woman. It's true that she is not an interesting person, she actually came to make trouble at this time, and it is strange that Xiao Tonghui will recognize her!
Heh, as I say, she is smart, and she made such a fuss, even if Commander Xiao doesn't want to admit it. The emperor will also force him to admit it, but it will not work if he does not admit it.
In the teahouse, Qin Yue was also asking Duan Chen: "You say." Really? β
Duan Chen shook his head and said, "Eighty percent is fake. From what I know about him, he won't have anything to do with women outside. β
Qin Yue also agrees with this.
In his previous life, Shen Jin had known Xiao Qian for three years. In three years. I haven't seen him fall in love with any woman. I haven't seen him visit the brothels/houses of the green/building, and even ordinary women rarely come into contact with them. But the woman was able to know the black mole at the base of his right leg, and it was hard to believe it.
I just don't know, who set up the bureau? How can you know so clearly? For what?
Could it be Yan Yuan?
Thinking of Yan Yuan, Qin Yue couldn't help but feel stunned.
This time the emperor leaves Beijing, will he take advantage of this to make trouble!
Obviously, Duan Chen also thought of him, looked at Qin Yue and said, "You go back to see the Su family brothers." What's the catch? β
Qin Yue hesitated, not knowing how to explain to Duan Chen.
By her judgment. Su Han and the others took refuge in Yan Yuan, which did not mean that they betrayed Shen Jin, they gave up the Whirlwind Guard to Yan Yuan, perhaps so that the Whirlwind Wei could revive the former majesty and really play its role.
The misunderstanding between Ah Chen and the Su brothers is too deep, and it can't be explained clearly in a few words.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Duan Chen couldn't help but laugh, and said mockingly: "I knew that you would be deceived by his words!" β
Qin Yue argued: "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." Third master, you are too drilly. I'm not like you, I like to judge anyone and everything objectively. β
Duan Chen sneered: "Hehe, I hope your stubbornness won't hurt you!" β
Thinking that their first meeting was in front of Shen Jin's grave, Duan Chen felt inexplicably cordial to this girl. Even though she appeared to be more intelligent than her peers, she never felt scared or strange.
Because, compared to the person in his heart, this girl is still too far away.
At this time, I heard a few shouts outside.
It's time to go!
Qin Yue looked at Xiao Qian's face in the crowd that was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was very happy.
No, Xiao said, the woman must have succeeded.
I just don't know if I was settled in the capital or went on the road with the team.
Duan Chen looked at Xiao Qian's deflated appearance and couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, Xiao Shizi, he also has today!" It seems that I have to send a letter to Mrs. Shizi to congratulate her on finally having a son! β
The prince and wife of the Xiao Guogong Mansion have been married for several years, and they have never been pregnant, which has long been a public joke in the imperial capital.
This time, it was revealed that Xiao Qian's outer room was pregnant, wouldn't it be a proper slap in the face of Mrs. Shizi?
Mrs. Xiao Shizi was born in the Lu family of Yunzhou, and can be regarded as a famous lady, and her grandfather was a member of the Zhongshu House before Zhishi, a proper son of heaven and a close minister, and she was very powerful. At the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, in order to win over the Lu family, he personally married the eldest daughter of the Lu family to marry the prince of Xiao Guo.
Duan Chen's indifference to court affairs over the years does not mean that he does not care about state affairs. On the contrary, he cared more than anyone else, because this was the world that Shen Jin had laid down, and he couldn't bear to let it have any accidents. Because of this, this time he calmly accepted the title of King Yijun, and only then did he agree to assist the prince in handling political affairs.
The crown prince returned to the palace on the emperor's birthday.
In addition to the queen mother, the emperor and queen were very satisfied with the prince's appearance.
The queen mother is a bone in the egg, and in order to be angry with the queen, she always has to say something unpleasant.
The emperor privately persuaded the queen not to be like an old man.
The queen gritted her teeth and nodded.
This time, the emperor rewarded Duan Chen and gave him the power to supervise the country. The Queen Mother jumped out to oppose it, and the mother and son had a big quarrel in Kuanronghua Palace, and the emperor did not compromise.
When he left, the Queen Mother was still vomiting, and she didn't come out of the palace to see him off.
At this time, the queen and Xiao Guifei each led some lower-grade palace concubines to stand on the city tower, looking at the team that was gradually moving away, and sighed in unison.
Perhaps because of the distance, the beautiful young woman singing in front of the palace was not seen by these two.
For a long time, Concubine Xiao Guifei took the lead in leading people away, and when she left, she looked back frequently in amazement.
The queen looked at it and couldn't stop sneering in her heart: Hmph, I don't know who I can't bear to be?
When he was about to go down the city tower, he saw a palace maid come forward with a note.
The queen opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing, and the previous parting sorrow was suddenly swept away, and then she said to the big palace maid Nan'er beside her in high spirits: "Go!" Drive Ronghua Palace! β
The Queen Mother was sitting in the hall at this time, instructing Ruo'er's homework, with a satisfied smile in her eyebrows and eyes from time to time, obviously in a good mood, and when she heard the maid report that the queen mother was coming, she couldn't help but let out an "oh" sound, raised her hand and said: "Since you are here, then please come in!" β
Straightened his body as he spoke.
Ruo'er bowed and retreated in a hurry.
After a while, the queen entered the main hall, walked to the queen mother, knelt down and saluted: "The concubine respectfully invites the queen mother Jin An!"
The Queen Mother put on a cold face and said, "Excuse me!" Get up! β
These days, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been singing against each other, making the emperor not a person. Now that the master is gone, the two have no intention of fighting.
The queen got up slowly, took a few steps forward and got closer to the queen mother, and said with a smile: "The concubine just sent the emperor back, and I heard about an interesting thing, so I came to Bo and smiled." β
The Queen Mother was very curious, but she pretended to be indifferent and said: "Alas, no matter how interesting things are, they will become boring when they come to the mourning family." Your Majesty, he is really ruthless! β
The queen comforted her and said, "The queen mother is too worried. The emperor is your son, and it was because of your great help that he sat in this position. In fact, the emperor is grateful to you in his heart, and hopes that you can take care of your old age, and don't work like the first half of your life! β
"But in the heart of the sad family, I just don't feel at ease! How can such a major matter as the prison country be handed over to outsiders! Not to mention that the Feng family still has the princes and uncles, even the mourning family is more suitable than Duan Chen's kid! β
The queen couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart: I know that your old man is thinking about this. But the more you remember, the more the emperor won't be at ease with you. Although Duan Chen's kid is a little tender, he has no ambitions, and it is most suitable for him to supervise the country.
The queen thought so in her heart, but said in her mouth: "Look, the queen mother, if King Yijun is not reliable, the concubines will also help you punish him severely?" β
The Queen Mother obviously didn't believe her words, "Will the Queen help the mourning family?" β
"Of course, the concubines have always been on the side of the queen mother." The queen's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is no worse than that of the queen mother.
But the Queen Mother knew that she was lying, and she didn't refute it, but said: "When I came, I said that I had something interesting to tell the mourning family, why haven't I said it until now?" β
The queen leaned closer to the queen mother's ear and said: "I heard that the prince of Xiao Shiye has raised an outer room outside, and now she is pregnant, and she has a big belly to cry out in front of the royal car!" β
The Queen Mother was really interested when she heard this, "When did it happen?" Who are you listening to? β
The queen then told the queen mother in detail what had happened outside the city gates.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Ah Qian, that kid, this time it's a fox tail!" "I was very happy to see it. (To be continued......)
