Chapter 200: Leaving the Palace
The next day was the day when Xia Nishang left the palace.
In any case, Xia Nishang is the queen mother of Yeyun Country, and her status is noble. Now, if you want to go out of the palace to pray for blessings for the sake of the people, it is natural to be taken seriously.
Early in the morning, the gate of the palace was already full of people, all of whom were concubines and ministers who were ready to see Xia Nishang off.
Leng Yexuan stood in front. Since he drank too much and said those words that day, Xia Nishang hadn't seen him.
Now, seeing each other in front of so many people, there is a feeling of being separated from the world.
"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with saints." Xia Ni dressed and saluted.
Today, she is wearing a bright yellow gold-sprinkled embroidered long skirt with flowers for a hundred birds and a phoenix, and the gold threads on it shine as she walks. The bun is high, combed into a phoenix tail bun, and there is a phoenix with beads and emerald inlaid gold on it. The bright red peach blossom is clinging to her forehead.
Xia Nishang rarely has such a solemn dress, and the last time I saw it was at the post-seal ceremony.
Leng Yexuan was a little in a trance, and his eyes were a little more confused when he looked at Xia Nishang.
Xia Nishang didn't ignore this, but she just smiled. On that day, what Leng Yexuan said to her, she always remembered in her heart, whether it was a drunken mantra or being deceived, it was he who called himself a femme fatale.
Perhaps, it is the simple four words of "One Reading Novel" ybdu that makes Xia Nishang's heart completely frozen and will not melt anymore.
"Your Majesty." Xia Nishang saw that Leng Yexuan ignored her, so she reminded softly.
Sure enough, after Leng Yexuan heard Xia Nishang's voice, he quickly returned to normal, with a trace of disgust on his face.
"The queen is here, get up quickly." Leng Yexuan's voice was not as soft as usual, even a little indifferent.
The people present were all human spirits, so they couldn't hear the abnormality in Leng Yexuan's tone.
They all saw that Leng Yexuan and Xia Nishang had quarreled, but they didn't know the reason. On this occasion, they couldn't ask anything more, they had to look at each other and make eye contact.
"This time I went out of the palace to pray for the blessing of my Yeyun Kingdom, and the queen must not live up to my expectations." Leng Yexuan's words continued, but the words were not so good.
Heavy rain is a natural phenomenon, and it is not something that Xia Nishang can stop. Could it be that if there is any disaster because of the rain, it will be counted on Xia Nishang's head.
"What the emperor said is that praying for the blessing of the country is the responsibility of the concubine as the mother of a country." Xia Nishang hung her head slightly, making a look of listening to her ears. However, what she said next made Leng Yexuan's face change. "The emperor is worried about the country and the people, and he cares about the people of Li, God sees it, how can a natural disaster fall?"
Xia Nishang's words are level. Let Leng Yexuan choke the whole time, and he didn't know how to continue.
Xia Nishang was obviously sarcastic about Leng Yexuan being a faint king, otherwise it wouldn't have rained so heavily and made his people suffer.
"What the queen said!" Leng Yexuan gritted his back molars fiercely, why didn't he find out that Xia Nishang was so sharp before. "It's not too early, so the queen should leave early."
The people next to him have been listening to the fight between the emperor and the queen, and they think it is very strange. Hearing Leng Yexuan say this, he put away his thoughts and quickly knelt down.
"Congratulations to the queen, may the mother have a smooth journey."
Xia Nishang looked at the person kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, and couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of his heart. How many of them hope that they will have a smooth journey, and how many people hope that they will never return?
Xia Nishang didn't know. However, she knows that no matter what others think in their hearts, this time, she will not back down.
"Your Majesty, the concubines will definitely not live up to the emperor's expectations!" Xia Nishang's voice was also quite cold. It seems that there is a deep gap between her and Leng Yexuan, and there is no way to cross it. Therefore, even if two people face each other, they still feel thousands of miles apart.
After speaking, Xia Nishang stopped looking at Leng Yexuan's condensed face, and walked straight towards the palace gate.
The robes on her body cut through the cold earth, but they left a trace of brilliance. The phoenix that was about to fly was reborn in Xia Nishang's body.
Xia Nishang was supported by Er Lan and sat in the sedan chair to leave the palace. With the sound of shouting, finally, she was getting farther and farther away from this cold palace.
"Erlan." Xia Nishang sat on the magnificent phoenix, but her heart was never calm.
"What's wrong, mother?" Er Lan stretched out her hand and opened the curtain of the bright yellow phoenix tail canopy, revealing her indifferent little face, looking at Xia Nishang with a smile.
"It's raining heavily outside, so come in and sit with the main palace." Xia Nishang looked outside the curtain, which was still raining non-stop, and said in a low voice.
Fortunately, the sedan chair has not yet started, otherwise, Xia Nishang would not be able to.
Er Lan hesitated for a while, and after confessing his sin, he got on Xia Nishang's phoenix.
"Get up."
After Xia Nishang and Er Lan were seated, the eunuch outside spoke.
This is the queen's special phoenix chariot, which is not only gorgeous, but also stable. Although she kept moving, Xia Nishang didn't feel the slightest shaking, but felt very comfortable.
"Niangniang, it's raining heavily outside, and the speed of the sedan chair has slowed down a lot." Er Lan placed a big red pillow sprinkled with gold on Xia Nishang's back, so that she wouldn't feel the bumps, and then whispered. "You get up early in the morning, why don't you rest for a while, it's almost time coming, and the slave will call you again."
Erlan asked thoughtfully. The Imperial City was originally not too far from Lugu Temple, and it was about a road of more than an hour. However, it was also a good weather, and now it was stormy outside, and the mountain road was extremely difficult to walk, and it was impossible to get there without three or four hours.
"Well, Bengong will lean on it for a while, and you can call it Bengong in a while." Xia Nishang is really a little tired. In the morning, Yin Zheng got up to freshen up and dress up, and last night he was thinking about things, and he fell asleep late at night, and Rao is a person who is beaten with iron can't stand it.
Seeing Xia Ni's eyes half-closed, Er Lan put the white fluffy rabbit collar cloak on the side over her body, so that she would not freeze. This is the embroidery shed at hand, and I don't know what to embroider again.
After passing the imperial city and starting to walk up the mountain, Xia Nishang woke up.
The rain was still pouring outside, and the sedan chair was starting to sway. Xia Nishang gently opened the curtain and looked at the originally verdant leaves outside, which were now also yellow. And because of the strong wind, it blew some unrecognizable.
"Mother, you're awake." When Er Lan saw Xia Nishang open her eyes, she put down the work in her hand and handed her a cup of tea.
The things in the phoenix are very complete, the insulated box, the warm tube are everything, and the tea is still hot.
Xia Nishang took the tea in Er Lan's hand, took a sip gently, and stopped drinking.
"What more do you embroider?" Xia Nishang rolled her eyes and saw the thing beside Er Lan, and couldn't help asking.
"It's just a purse, nothing." As everyone knows, Er Lan's face turned crimson all of a sudden, as if he was dyed with that fine rouge, which was very attractive.
"This palace is just asking in vain, what's going on?" Seeing her like this, Xia Nishang was actually interested. He reached out and took the thing, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Er Lan only felt that his cheeks were burning like fire, and the heat was uncomfortable. But he didn't dare to rob Xia Nishang, so he had to sit there with a shy face, secretly praying that Xia Nishang would not continue to ask.
Xia Nishang looked at the piece of material in her hand. It is the best Caiyun brocade, sapphire blue, and there is a slight halo on it, just like the colorful glow of the night, so it is called Caiyun brocade.
Xia Nishang remembered this piece of material, which she had given to Er Lan before, and wanted her to make good clothes to wear. Xia Nishang has always been very good to the minions around her, and most of the things that she didn't need in Su Ri were given to them.
On the sapphire blue material, embroidered with proudly standing bamboo cypress, standing in the wind, very windy. This look is what is embroidered for the man, Xia Nishang couldn't help but look at Er Lan a few more times.
Er Lan has an older brother, and Xia Nishang knows it. It's just that she didn't think that this purse would be embroidered for Er Lan's brother, so she looked at Er Lan half jokingly.
"Who is this for?"
Er Lan's face turned red after hearing Xia Nisheng's question. Her fingers wrapped tightly around the silk handkerchief in her hand, not knowing how to speak.
When Xia Nishang saw her like this, she felt that something was wrong, where would she let her go. He leaned closer and looked at Er Lan with a smile.
"Don't you tell me honestly, this palace doesn't know, you also have such thoughts?"
Xia Nishang's words are just playful, where is she really blaming her. However, in Er Lan's ears, it was as if he had done something wrong, and his little face turned white with fright.
"Mother, slave damned." Er Lan knelt down all of a sudden, and kept begging for mercy. "It was Lord Murong who said that his purse was worn, so that the slave and maid were idle, so he embroidered one for him. The slave really didn't think about it, so I begged the mother to forgive the slave. ”
Xia Nishang was stunned when she saw Er Lan kneeling down at first, she didn't mean to embarrass her at all. However, after listening to her words, Xia Nisheng's face had a look of unknown meaning, and the hand that was originally going to Laerlan also stopped in mid-air.
