The Third Southern Crusade
Zichen Palace, the ceremonial official sang:
"Invite the newlyweds to tea."
Situ Tao wore a red five-color auspicious dragon supplement, and Concubine Li wore a Ruiqi red cloud phoenix fairy happy dress. With sweet smiles on their faces, the two of them raised their teacups and offered tea to Situ Yun and Wei Qian.
In the last year of Situ Yun's ten-year expedition to the south, he actively prepared various things, first of all, the first thing was the prince's wedding.
Choosing the first month of the year, the two received the happy tea, Wei Qian said: "Prince, you were seriously ill when you were young, but fortunately you were taken care of by Cao and Kong, and now you will take the princess to give half a cup of tea to your two concubines on your big day." ”
When the prince heard this, he offered tea to Concubine Cao and Concubine Kong who were standing next to him. Because they took care of the prince in the past, they ascended from Baolin to become the concubine of the nine concubines. Over the years, the two have done their best to take care of the prince, and because they have no heirs of their own, they give all their motherly love to the prince.
The two listened to what Wei Qian said, and their spirits were excited. According to the status of the two of them, where is the turn of the prince to give them tea?
Even Wei Qian, if she is not currently in charge of the six palaces, plus she is the first person in the harem, I am afraid she will not be able to take her turn.
Didn't you see that Concubine Wen Shu and Concubine Jingde next to her were not qualified to be served tea by the prince?
Concubine Xiao Chen was named a concubine by Situ Yun, implying that she respected the superior and kept her duty. As long as she is sensible, Situ Yun will give the Chen family a good way out. If she has thoughts that she shouldn't have, then even her maternal cousin won't be able to keep it at that time.
These two concubines sat under Wei Qian, and neither of them was worshiped by the prince. The other concubines stood beside them, their faces envious. Let the prince serve tea, which undoubtedly shows the prince's filial piety, as long as this affection is there, the prince will have their benefits when he ascends the throne in the future.
"This, this can't be helped." Concubine Kong paid attention to etiquette and did not dare to accept it.
"You two have taken care of the prince for many years, and you deserve this cup of tea." Situ Yun spoke, and the two each drank half a cup of tea, with tears in their eyes, and each gave the gift prepared earlier to the prince and his wife.
After the ceremony was completed, Situ Yun said: "The prince marries a relative and is considered a real adult. I have been on this expedition to the south for several months, and I will never return Jinling if I do not break it. At that time, Concubine Ning, you and the crown prince will guard the capital, and I can rest assured. If there is an emergency, you can decide at your own discretion. ”
Situ Yun and Wei Qian discuss the details of the Third Southern Expedition. The crown prince was shocked: "Father is going to leave now?" ”
"Your father should have left long ago. Now that the southern three-way army has been moved, the front war has already begun. Wei Qian said with a smile: "This time the preparation is sufficient, and the strength of the whole country will suppress Jinling, and Jinling will definitely be broken and Shenzhou will be unified." ”
The two cooperated tacitly, treated others as if they had nothing to discuss the formation and march, and finally sent the concubines away and asked Concubine Wen to take the others down.
Concubine Wen pulled the princesses and said to the prince and his wife: "You also know the temperament of Your Majesty and your sister, and go back to rest." ”
"Yes, you newlyweds take good hold of it, we mothers can wait to hold our grandchildren." A concubine joked, and then took Concubine Wen's hand to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.
At present, the harem is harmonious, there are only three princes and seven princesses, and the prince and Concubine Ning are powerful, most of the concubines have stopped competing for favor, and An Ansheng is waiting for Wei Qian's time. Fortunately, Wei Qian is never good at petting, and most of the time except for fifteen, he pushes Situ Yun out. But no matter how hard everyone tries, there are only three princes in the harem, and no new prince is born at all. In this regard, everyone can only call it providence.
Wei Qian secretly went to ask the Immortal Monarch, and the Immortal Monarch did not want to break the heavens, only that Situ Yun would have a prince in the future, but the number was not more than his father.
Seeing this situation, the concubines didn't even have the idea of giving birth to a dragon son. Give birth to a group of princesses and wait for the future to marry? It's better to have fun in peace.
The concubines are happy, accompanied by various games on weekdays, and gradually learn Wei Qian's straightforward temper. If there is no desire, there is no ** fighting, and the harem is unprecedentedly harmonious.
The prince has studied with Wei Qian for many years, and Li Feiya is the female official next to Wei Qian, and the young lady of the noble family in the city. After Wei Qian's matchmaking, he looked at Situ Tao in the eye. The two of them knew Wei Qian, and they didn't mind.
After saluting Concubine Wen, the two left directly. Concubine Wen took a group of concubines to the imperial garden to guess lantern riddles.
Before leaving, the crown prince glanced at the second and third princes.
After returning to the East Palace, the crown princess asked, "Your Highness is worried about the second prince?" ”
"Father's expedition to the south, he will follow him south." The prince's face was worried: "At that time, he will use this to accumulate military merits, I am afraid that it will not be good for me." ”
The crown prince and the second prince have not been pleasing to the eye since they were children, and they even had the hatred of killing back then. The crown prince was eager to kill the second prince and his mother, Concubine Jia. Back then, the second prince took refuge in Wei Qian, but the prince made a stumbling block. Over the years, the second prince has been suppressed by the prince openly and secretly.
The rift between the two was born early, and the second prince's temperament became more and more gloomy, and this time he took the initiative to ask for his life to participate in the southern expedition, I am afraid that he would have the heart to compete with the prince for the holy favor.
The husband and wife are one, the crown princess thought for a while and said: "A few years ago, the concubine served at the mother's place, and I originally saw the second prince often go over to say hello. But then I don't know why I never went again, and I heard Aunt Xiangling say that it seems to be related to the old things. ”
"When it comes to court privacy, you can't get involved." The crown prince frowned and reprimanded the crown princess. He did this, so he naturally didn't want the princess to know.
Subsequently. His expression softened, and he hesitated for a few moments, and said: "In the past, Concubine Jia plotted against me and Concubine Ning, and we had already made enemies with each other. The second child knew about this, and he would not be close to Concubine Ning. The interests of this prince and Concubine Ning are the same, you need to serve cautiously in the future, and you must not put the crown princess on the shelf. ”
The crown princess smiled: "Could it be that in the eyes of His Royal Highness, the concubine body is so uninteresting?" The concubine is a person who came out of the Qing Palace. ”
Being able to serve the female officials of the Qing Dynasty means that they are talented and qualified. After leaving the palace, she has the worst position of a female official, and even the settlement benefits after leaving the palace have been prepared by Wei Qian.
When the crown princess left the palace, Wei Qian conferred the position of Shang Palace to show her grace. After that, he stayed at home to get married, and only re-entered the palace a few days ago.
The prince chose Li Feiya, and another meaning was also to take a fancy to her identity as a member of the Qingbian Palace.
walked out of the Qingbian Palace, and was favored by Wei Qian, and the cooperation between the two parties was deepened.
You must know that although Wei Qian has been in seclusion behind the scenes for many years, she has accumulated a large number of potential forces in her early years when she appeared in the DPRK. Everyone knows that this lady can influence the emperor's decision-making, and she does not use this charm to accept favor, but because of her decisiveness in several major events, she really stepped onto the stage of court politics, which convinced the courtiers of the neutral faction.
Although the conservatives opposed Wei Qian's appearance, they gradually split with each action. Some people praise Weiqian for having "the ability of a good woman" and "the virtue of the three wives", while others call him "Lu Wuzhixiang" and "Ji Sichen".
But the voice of the opposition is weakening. In addition, they fought with Wei Qian according to the unspoken rules of the imperial court, and they did not treat her as a harem concubine invisibly.
This influence made others look sideways, not to mention that Wei Qian also had Wei Ying and Jia Lian by her side. Jia Wei's two forces are in hand, and her attitude is enough to affect the pattern of the imperial court.
If she gives up supporting the crown prince, but changes her goal to another prince, the prince will have a good pot of food.
In the past, provoking the second prince and Wei Qian, in addition to selfishness, was also the result of considering the overall situation.
After participating in the wedding of his baby son, when Situ Yun was busy with the southern expedition, he led the troops out in two days.
This is an emperor who is fond of martial arts, and has left a lot of marks in the history books of the future. Looking at the number of personal expeditions in his life, he is in the forefront of all dynasties.
As soon as the emperor left, Wei Qian and the prince discussed, and the two went to the Taimiao Temple to worship their ancestors and pray for Situ Yun.
The chariot arrived in front of the temple, and the prince went to comfort the ancestors.
Wei Qian and Li Feiya got out of the car and reached out to hold Li Feiya's hand: "You go with the palace to meet Liedai first." ”
Li Feiya's hands and feet were cold, this was the first time she participated in the big sacrifice as the crown princess. For fear that one of them will accidentally appear in front of the ministers.
Her face was pale, and the young woman's heart was uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, you'll have a lot to do in the future." Wei Qian smiled, took her hand, and the two walked together in sacrificial clothes. Wei Qian said in a low voice: "Since you are already the crown princess, then the first silkworm sacrifice and the second soil prayer will be with the palace in the coming year." ”
Hearing this, Li Feiya panicked: "Niangniang is still here, of course these are handled by Niangniang." Li Feiya didn't dare to steal the limelight with Wei Qian, so she hurriedly refused.
This lady is deeply respected by the prince, and she is like an adoptive mother, if she blatantly does these things, will it arouse the prince's disgust? You must know that at present, there is still an empty side hall in the East Palace where Wei Qian and Cao Kong's second concubine lived. The crown prince sent someone to clean it every month as a sign of respect.
In terms of temperament, although the prince is a little unruly, he does not lose his avenue in benevolence and righteousness. Who is good to himself and who is not good to himself, the prince figured it out in his heart.
Wei Qian saw that she was cautious, and smiled dumbly: "Of course, the palace will preside, but you will learn the sacrificial ceremony by the side, so as not to look foreign when you take care of it yourself in the future." ”
Wasn't that the case with the queen back then? It is precisely because of Queen Wang's appearance that Wei Qian has the opportunity to take charge of the Six Palaces step by step.
"There is also palace management, you come to the palace to study with Sister Wen when you come back. When you become a queen in the future, this will be useful. ”
"Of course, you are the royal daughter-in-law, and it is inconvenient to meddle in the harem too much, so you only learn to manage palace affairs, starting from your East Palace."
It was precisely because Li Feiya studied with Wei Qian and loved plum blossoms that she later cooperated with Wei Qian in the Fang Temple and was called "Little Mei Fei".
Chang'an is calm, the cooperation between the two palaces is not a day, and the ministers have adapted to the habit of "the emperor is in the court of Zichen, and the emperor goes to worship Qingbian".
Even the prince will go to Wei Qian to discuss if he encounters difficulties, and Wang Zheng, the protagonist of the scandal in the past, is now one of the prince's biggest supporters as the leader of the Wang family.
However, it is said that Situ Yun's southern expedition, in fact, the current scope of Tongyuan Sect has nothing else except for Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The reason why it is difficult to conquer is entirely because they defend with formations and block the army with strange stones, which is difficult to break through, making the mortal army blocked.
"Now the last battle is over, but cause and effect. I'll take matters into my own hands. "Several Xuanmen Earth Immortals personally went down and led the immortals to come.
In the New World, Wei Qian felt the number of days, and asked a few of his fellow disciples in Lishan to take their own three-yuan Dingxian plate to help defeat the enemy.
By the way, Wei Qian found Gu Zhenzhen: "Immortal Dao Ke Demon, but there is no sharp weapon at the mortal level to break the city, you will dedicate the siege weapon you have studied over the years to Emperor Shunde, in exchange for your family's wealth and glory." ”
In the past, when Gu Zhenzhen ran away from home, she said that she wanted to fight for a great fortune with a woman as her parents. Now when she is marching south, it is the time for her to show her talents.
When Gu Zhenzhen heard this, her homesickness suddenly rose. But thinking of the occupation of the New World, he hesitated a little: "What about the New World?" ”
"Killing and robbery swept the world, not Shenzhou. But they pull each other, and the qi and machine are blended. "The current catastrophe of China, the New World, and the Western world has all entered the late stage.
The Lalo dynasty in the New World was gradually annexed by the Amun dynasty, and soon after, its godline was destroyed. After a great slaughter in the Western world, there was also a queen who rose. She worshipped the god of light, established a national religion and developed industry, and gradually caught up with the development of the East.
"You go to your mother, and choose a few soldiers to go to Jinling. In a few days, the merits will be completed, and you will return. ”
Qiongshan, an old Taoist priest practiced in Yuhua Palace. Suddenly, on a whim, he noticed the changes in Jinling, and sighed: "In the end, I am in the dragon's spirit, and this Yun'er catastrophe has to go." Then, this human immortal personally went down the mountain to Jinling.
This time, the southern expedition broke the cause and effect, and the Immortal Monarch sent his henchmen to watch the battle in person to restrain the soul of the dead in battle.
The Heaven and Earth Slaughter is condensed in three locations in three territories, Jinling, Fog City, and the Capital of the Sun.
