Chapter Thirty-Seven: Coming by Love, Leaving by Love
The palace pattern of the Dafeng Dynasty was divided into outer dynasties and harems. There are three major halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe in the outer court, among which Taihe is the place where the court meeting is held, and it is the most tall and brilliant. The emperor's accession to the throne, weddings, canonizations, generals, expeditions and other matters were held here. There is a royal study room behind the Taihe Palace, supplemented by the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Hall on both sides, and there is also the Internal Affairs Office behind it.
To the east of the Taihe Palace, there is a harem and a royal garden where the concubines are located. To the west there are small imperial gardens, sacrificial places, residences of princesses and princes, as well as the East Palace and the Cining Hall where the Queen Mother is located.
The entire palace is surrounded by two walls, the inner and the outside. In the middle of the south is the Danfeng Gate, which is the main gate. The east and west are Wangxian Gate and Jianfu Gate respectively.
In the middle of the north is the Xuanwu Gate, and the east and west are the Yinhan Gate and the Qingxiao Gate respectively.
The east side is the left silver gate.
The north and south of the west are respectively the right Yintai Gate and the Nine Immortals Gate.
There are sandwich cities parallel to the city wall on the east, west and north sides, and there is a heavy Xuanmen in the middle of the north face, which is facing the Xuanwu Gate.
There are forbidden troops stationed on the east and west sides of the palace outside the palace, and the command organ of the forbidden army is set up in the north gate and the city.
And Danfeng Gate is facing the Taihe Palace!
On the first day of the eighth month of the fifth year of Ziyang, all grades and the royal family and the mother of the royal family were ordered to enter the palace by the queen mother, and see the blessing ceremony!
The puja was held in the Baohua Hall of the harem, and the queen mother invited the abbot of Puji Temple.
The puja lasted for two hours, during which the night of the dance was ordered to make medicinal food and fasting for the Lady and the Zen Master!
While everyone was having dinner, Wu Yi found the abbot of Xiuyuan.
"I've seen the abbot!"
"The donor is courteous! The purpose of the dance benefactor coming to look for the old man this time is already known to the old man, but the old man can't say much. The cause and effect have been accomplished, and the donor has no other way than to move forward step by step! ”
"May I ask what the abbot is talking about? You asked Ai Qi to look for you, but I don't know why? ”
"The old man just said that he can't say much, as for this cause and effect, it is nothing more than a word of love!"
"Love?"
"That's right, you came because of love, and you will go because of love! I hope the donor will cherish it, and the old man will take his leave! ”
Come because of love, go because of love. What does that mean? Will he still be gone? What about Feng Haoxuan? Doesn't he have the opportunity to be with Feng Haoxuan in his life?
Feeling? Who is it love with?
After leaving the Baohua Hall with doubts, he danced all night and led the palace maids into the Cining Hall with the prepared refreshments. Many edicts in the palace are chatting and laughing with the Queen Mother, among which the noble concubine Nangong Feifei and Concubine Liu Piaopiao are also there.
It's just that maybe because of the events of the previous night, Concubine Liu looked listless, and her eyebrows were contemplative.
And Nangong Feifei was extremely emaciated, and he looked much sicker than half a year ago. The most important thing is that after dancing all night, it is almost certain that the person who poisoned it is Nangong Feifei. In the past few days, I have often been in and out of the imperial dining room for a night of dancing, and I learned that Nangong Feifei has been making ginseng soup for Feng Haoxuan every day for two years, and this habit has only recently stopped.
In this way, it is understandable why Feng Haoye went directly to Nangong Yu that day, and why Feng Haoxuan asked him not to make a noise about this matter. It's just because they already know who poisoned it, and what they care about is Nangong Siquan, the person behind it!
Thinking of Nangong Siquan, looking at this hour, it is time for them to enter the city!
After talking for a long time, the Queen Mother has long been tired, just because she needs to wait here for the Degui Concubine who returned to the palace today to come to see her, otherwise the Queen Mother would have already sent this edict to rest.
After another half an hour, the father-in-law came outside the door to report that Concubine Degui and King Qi had arrived outside the Cining Palace, waiting to greet him!
Speaking of this, Concubine Degui and King Qi really have a good statement, haven't they done a lot of good deeds? Not only did he pray for the blessing of the country, but he also lived in the temple for two years, and he also helped many victims along the way. Otherwise, with only one noble concubine, how could so many palace concubines be born and wait here.
After a while, I saw a woman in her early thirties wearing a green shirt and a yellow skirt, without too many hairpins on her head, and smiling into the temple. There are also twenty sons and daughters beside the woman, who look clear and beautiful, and look neither humble nor arrogant.
"My sister has seen the queen mother!"
"Qi'er has seen the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Concubine Degui and Feng Haoqi bowed down to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was busy with Mama Ying next to her to step forward to help Concubine Degui up, and helped her sit on the carved chair paved with mink next to the Queen Mother. Feng Haoqi also stepped forward and sat down beside Concubine Degui. The gaze was falling on the dance night opposite.
"The concubine left the palace for two years to pray for the blessing of Dafeng, this time I went back to the palace for days, it was really hard, I should have a good life and rest, how could I be so anxious to come to see the mourning family!"
"Where is the Queen Mother's sister, praying for Dafeng should be our efforts as women who enjoy wealth and wealth, and it is also my sister's duty to ask the Queen Mother's sister to say goodbye, and the two are not in conflict! And Qi'er has been talking about the Queen Mother Jin'an, and said early that she would be relieved to come and see the Queen Mother Ankang first. ”
"Yes, the queen mother, the emperor invited a blessing bag in the Lingtai Temple, for the past two years for this blessing bag chanting every day, the emperor has not been able to fulfill his filial piety in front of the queen mother in the past two years, I hope this peace charm can replace the filial piety of the emperor, and hope that the queen mother will live a long life and be healthy!"
As he spoke, he handed the peace charm to the Queen Mother, who was very happy with it, looked left and right and handed it to Mama Ying to call it a good life.
Feng Haoqi's move really made the palace in the palace and other people praised, and couldn't help but praise the filial piety of King Qi, far away in the bitter Lingtai Temple and did not forget the queen mother in the palace. He also praised the virtuous and benevolent concubine to teach the king of Qi to be so filial and virtuous.
The Queen Mother was silent and couldn't help but praise them, so that she was worthy of the good reputation that the concubine had worked hard for a long time.
"Qi'er really has a heart, I haven't seen it taller for two years, and I'm more handsome and thinner, and I'm bitter about you!"
"Queen Mother, the emperor is not bitter, the emperor is stupid and can't help the emperor in the court, and he can only sincerely pray for blessings and do his meager efforts!"
Feng Haoqi's words sounded like a sense of loss and depression, and someone immediately came out to help him speak.
"Yes, in a blink of an eye, King Qi is also 20 years old, and the emperor has already reigned in the world when he is 16 years old.
The one who spoke was Princess Minjun, who was good friends with Concubine Degui, and her husband, King Minjun, was also a concubine and the younger brother of the first emperor.
As soon as these words came out, many people echoed them, and Concubine Degui also showed a smile on her face at the right time: "When the child is older, he should join the court, so that he can share some burdens for his imperial brother." Princess Duan still remembers that the first emperor often slept with King Duan to discuss political affairs. Now the emperor loves his brothers, but he is tired of himself! This sudden illness made me so worried! ”
The words of the noble concubine are reasonable and well-founded, not only bringing the first emperor and the youngest Duan Wang as examples, but also worrying that the emperor is too tired, so it is difficult for people not to be impressed by her 'sincerity'.
Clear-eyed people can actually hear his true intention, that is, to let Feng Haoqi join the court to gain real power, instead of being an idle prince for a long time!
