Chapter 60: Siyuan is alone
The wine and food here are indeed full of color and flavor, although not as luxurious and exquisite as the palace meal, but it can be called the best in the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to satisfy Su Wanqing's curiosity, the emperor still told her the origin of this workshop.
"This place is called Dongyangfang, which is a dark field used by important officials of the imperial court for recreation on weekdays. The imperial court explicitly forbade officials to go to the Qinglou Fengyue Field to have fun, so this place is just a banquet and drink place on the surface, and there are a lot of power and money transactions behind it. ”
"An important minister of the court? Then the emperor also brought his concubines here, what if he is recognized? She asked nervously.
The emperor stretched out his fingers and scraped the tip of her nose playfully while picking up vegetables with silver chopsticks, "It's noon at this time, if they dare to come, it will be dead." ”
Su Wanqing thought about it, this is indeed the truth. She recalled the appearance of the emperor and the shopkeeper Chen when she entered the courtyard here, and couldn't help laughing, "The shopkeeper's brain is not very bright, the emperor has made his identity so clear, the emperor is the emperor, but he is always called 'Mr. Xia', he is really laughing to death." ”
She smiled very sweetly, her brown willow eyebrows were bent into a crescent hook, and the two small pear vortices on her lips were deeply sunken, the emperor was a little stunned for a while, she rarely laughed so heartily in the palace, it seems that she chose the right choice to eat in Dongyang Fang today.
"Businessmen, just do your duty to do business and earn money. Like Shopkeeper Chen, he is not ambiguous when he should be shrewd, and he is not shrewd when he should be vague, which is really rare now. ”
"Yes." She answered, and went back to eating.
After lunch, Shopkeeper Chen sent them away with great gratitude, and at that time Su Wanqing knew that the Mei Pavilion was a private room often chartered by the emperor, although it was rare to come here in a year, it was still rented with a lot of silver every year, and the emperor did not feel sorry for these silver at all.
Also sitting in the swaying carriage, Su Wanqing fell asleep after saying a few words to the emperor, and he couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep. When she woke up again, the carriage was still swaying, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep.
"How did this get to the middle of nowhere? Where does the emperor want to take his concubines? She rubbed her sleepy eyes and lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage to look out. The horse-drawn carriage walked slowly on the mountain path, and the dirt road was neatly repaired so that there were no potholes. The mountains were still desolate, with bare branches of the trees and occasional chirping of a lone bird.
"Dingkang Mountain, this is coming."
"What? Going to the Imperial Tomb? Su Wanqing couldn't help but sigh at what was going on in the mind of the man in front of him, and said that he would take himself out to relax, but it turned out to be coming to the imperial mausoleum, is this a normal person's thinking?
The emperor was silent all the way, and after entering the big red gate of the three coupons, the guards of the mausoleum appeared in front of him and stopped them to ask, after all, the royal mausoleum is not something that ordinary people can enter. Walk slowly along the stone road and Yongdao, cross the Yudai Bridge and get off the carriage and walk. On both sides are the majestic stone elephants and Huabiao, and in front of them stands the monument of the king's merits, Su Wanqing looked up and was depressed and breathless.
"This is Dingling, the mausoleum of my father."
"Oh." Su Wanqing couldn't help but shudder, based on the recent events, in her impression, this Emperor Longhua should also be a powerful character, and the iron fist of governing the army and government should not be inferior to the current emperor.
Under the guidance of the eunuchs guarding the tomb, after entering the Rende Hall, they first bowed three times and bowed nine times, and then offered incense. Su Wanqing raised his head and glanced slightly, the golden dragon surrounded the jade steps and enshrined the tablet of the first emperor, and amazingly, there was also one next to it: the spirit seat of Queen Si.
In the main hall, Su Wanqing didn't dare to squeak, and waited until the emperor spoke first, "Father, queen mother, bless Wan'er's child in her womb to be born safely." ”
"Your Majesty?"
The Emperor turned his face sideways, with a shallow smile on his lips, and grabbed her hand hidden under the plain sleeve and said, "I identify with you." ”
"Huh?" Su Wanqing was confused and frowned inexplicably.
"Wan'er, if the emperor in your womb is born safely and smoothly, I will immediately register him as the crown prince, and you should know the weight of these words."
Su Wanqing didn't react for a long time, the canonization of the crown prince is a matter related to the country, which dynasty and which generation is not cautious, and the status of the prince's mother is even more extraordinary, even if she is not the queen of the middle palace, she is also a first-class imperial concubine. She stammered, "This... This can't be... Concubines... I..."
"Since I made a promise in front of my father's throne, I will not change it." He held her hand firmly and looked at her with burning eyes, as if to impress her countenance deep into his heart.
Su Wanqing's palms were drenched with sweat, and she pursed her lips and said, "The concubine knows the emperor's intentions, but she is easy to fall heavy when she ascends, not to mention that the concubine's family background is far from enough." The concubine does not seek that honorable position, as long as the concubine waits by the emperor's side, and the emperor does not forget the concubine, the concubine will be satisfied. ”
The emperor smiled indifferently and helped her to her feet, "Do you know who Empress Si is?" ”
Su Wanqing was still wondering just now, he had never heard of this former queen in the palace. And her tablet is really different, just a single word number, which looks particularly cold. However, she is the only woman who can share the tribute of future generations with the emperor, and it seems so honorable.
"Empress Lin was the first emperor and queen, but she was not favored in the harem at that time. Later, because he had no heirs for many years, he was deposed and sent to the Suiyue Nunnery for retreat, and died of depression. Before the death of his father, he left a will for me and posthumously honored the Lin family as the queen of thought. ”
"That's how it was." Su Wanqing muttered softly, moved by what happened to this Empress Yuan, "Think, miss." When I wanted to come to the first emperor immortal, I was also full of sorrow for her. ”
"Concubine Jin is her own niece, and when I sacrificed a few years ago, I accidentally thought of Queen Lin, and I couldn't help but think of Concubine Jin, so I promoted her position."
Concubine Jin of Jingyang Palace is a strange existence to Su Wanqing, but I only remember that although she is a high-ranking concubine, she is not very outstandingly dressed.
"The abolition of the Lin family has a great relationship with the Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace, she has eaten fasting and recited Buddha all these years, and I am afraid she will not be able to atone for her sins." The emperor's expression was bleak and distant, not at all like he was talking about his biological mother.
"Sin? What sins can the Queen Mother have? ”
The emperor snorted coldly and stared at the tablet of the first emperor, "Back then, my father and Empress Lin raised their eyebrows, and Qin Se and Ming. Although the Lin family did not come out of anything, she was still the queen for twenty years. It was only because of the slanderous words of the latecomers that he was finally abandoned. ”
“...”
"If the child born by the latecomer is of orthodox blood, it is also said that the key is that when the father is about to die, he still doesn't know that the secret king he loves like a treasure is someone else's son!"
