From the fifth day of the ninth month to the birthday of General Yang, some things have happened in the imperial capital.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, Wang's daughter Yang Yuzhuo visited Princess Xian and the county lord of Qiyun who were chanting and praying in Chongming Temple, and then returned home. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the eighth day of the ninth month, King Xian personally went to Chongming Temple to pick up his wife and daughter and return to the palace.

On the Double Ninth Festival in early September, members of the royal family and ministers went to the Taimiao Temple to pray to the heavens and worship their ancestors with His Majesty the Emperor, and then the royal family and ministers moved to the Temple of Prayer and the Hall of Taihe to enjoy vegetarian food.

According to the ancestral system, there are a total of six banquets hosted by Guanglu Temple.

The first-class seat, each table has nine taels of gold ingots, which is mainly used for the emperor's wedding or the banquet after his death;

second-class seats, seven taels of gold ingots per table, mainly used for the prince's wedding or the banquet after the death of the imperial concubine;

The third-class seats, each table of five taels of gold ingots, are mainly used for the wedding of the prince and the prince of the county and the banquet after the death of the concubine and concubine;

Fourth-class seats, each table of gold ingots three taels, mainly used for New Year's Day, Chinese New Year's Eve, Chongyang, Winter Solstice and other four major festival feasts;

The fifth-class seats, with two taels of gold ingots per table, are mainly used for the wedding of princesses and county lords or banquets for the chief and deputy envoys of the surrounding countries of the Great Xia Kingdom and the subordinate small countries;

Sixth-class seats, one or two gold ingots per table, are mainly used for banquets such as general expeditions or war victories, natural disasters and sacrifices;

Today's Chongyang ancestor worship, although it is a vegetarian meal, it is also a fourth-class seat with three taels of gold ingots per table.

Rong Xuan ate some vegetarian food at will, then put down his chopsticks and went out of the Temple of Prayer.

The prayer hall stands in the south of the temple and the temple between the Taihe hall is only separated by a lake, the lake is turquoise like a blooming begonia flower, so it is named Begonia Lake.

There are rows of weeping willows planted on both sides of the lake, and boats moored on the lakeside are tied to the willow trees, waiting for the nobles to sail back and forth between the two halls.

Rong Xuan also asked for a small boat, but he didn't want to go to the Taihe Palace, but simply wanted to swim in the lake.

As he was about to swing the oars, a richly dressed girl in purple came uninvited and boarded the boat. Rong Xuan just glanced at the girl in purple, did not drive away or speak, and shook the oars.

In September and autumn, the weather in the imperial capital is the most comfortable, and it is the most suitable for boating around the lake.

The girl in purple sat at the other end of the boat, holding her cheeks, and her eyes fell on the reflected figure on the turquoise lake.

After waiting for a long time, she didn't see Rong Xuan have the intention of speaking, and the girl finally couldn't hold her breath and took the lead in breaking the silence. "I heard that you and Mo'er are reunited in Luoyang!"

Rong Xuan stopped paddling, withdrew his gaze looking at the lake and fell on the purple-clothed girl, and his thin lips pursed lightly and said coldly: "Your people have been following me, who I met and what did I do, how could I escape your ears and eyes!" ”

The purple-clothed girl was not annoyed when she heard this, and there was a smile on the corners of her eyes, but her pink lips sneered back sharply: "Didn't you also send that famous Zhuo Erqun, who ranked top ten on the list of the first masters in the rivers and lakes, to follow Mo'er!" ”

The master who reminded the spring in the Zhaode Eldest Princess's Mansion that day was Zhuo Erqun.

Rong Xuan sent Zhuo Erqun to follow Mo'er, one of them was naturally to protect her safety, and the other was naturally to know what his sweetheart was doing every day?

But the Qingfeng of the three of the Qu Tianlin faction to protect her by Mo'er's side, as well as the Xuanlin martial arts who pretended to be Qu Tianlin's close guard, were very strong, and the ordinary guards were easy for them to detect, so Zhuo Erqun was naturally the best candidate.

Rong Xuan retracted his thoughts and said to the girl in purple, "Mo'er, she is my fiancée. ”

But when the purple-clothed girl heard this, she laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke, and even laughed with tears.

After a long while, she stopped before she said to Rong Xuan: "Mo'er is indeed your fiancée, but that was in the previous life. Now your fiancée in this life is me-Qiyun! ”

Rong Xuan pursed his lips when he heard this, withdrew his gaze from looking at her, and shook the oar again, and his voice like wine was mixed with a somewhat cold tone: "That is the will of the imperial uncle, I admit it in my heart, only Mo'er is alone." ”

"Really?!" It took a long time for Qi Yun's voice to come from behind him: "But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, you can't resist the will, and I can't resist the will either." ”

Rong Xuan's paddling hand paused slightly, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yes, the emperor's order is hard to disobey.

He and Qi Yun were in the royal family, how could they break free from such a fate.

The boat shook slightly, and Qiyun's faint sigh had fallen in Rong Xuan's ears. A pair of lotus hands gently wrapped around his waist from behind, and his straight back was gently rested against Qiyun's head.

"Rong Xuan, I'll go to see Mo'er in a while, do you want to come?" Qi Yun's eyes hooked on the shore of the lake not far away, and a bright yellow hidden in the shadow of a willow tree asked him softly.

The corners of Rong Xuan's eyes also glanced towards the Dao Ming Huang, and he said "um" softly.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Wei Ting Division, who was transferred to Shudi, caught the ancient sauce and rushed back to the imperial capital.

He went back a little to freshen up and change into a clean robe, and hurried into the palace to face the saint.

Qianyuan Hall is the place where the emperors of Bactria dealt with the government of the past dynasties.

The current Emperor of Great Xia, Emperor Yuan Kangdi, has been in power for ten years, although he has passed the age of forty, but because of the perennial good maintenance, he has a handsome face, and he looks like he is in his early thirties. At this time, he was reading the folds presented by Gu Sauce in his hand, and the more he looked down, the darker his face became.

After a long time, he threw the fold in his hand on the case, and said angrily: "This woman is becoming more and more rampant now, and she has instructed her relatives to raise taxes, fish and flesh the people, and seize agricultural property for private property!" ”

Gu Jiang's face was also very ugly, and he said to Emperor Yuan Kang: "Your Majesty, the above edicts are only partially verified. Wei Tingsi also recently found out that Yang Ji, the magistrate of Anqing County, was very close to some gangs in the rivers and lakes, and seemed to be intent on winning over the forces in the rivers and lakes. ”

Emperor Yuan Kang had five daughters but no sons, and according to the laws of Great Xia, the future new emperor must be selected from among the clansmen.

With the current situation, His Majesty's compatriots and brothers, Rong Heng and Rong Huan, the eldest and second sons of King Rui, and Rong Xuan, the grandson of the emperor's uncle, have the greatest hope.

Originally, Concubine Li wanted to ask His Majesty to point out the five princesses to the little prince Hengjun, and push the five princesses to the back seat under the guise of marrying King Jin. But the concubine who has the eldest princess and the fourth princess under her knees and the concubine who gave birth to the second princess and the third princess is not stupid, and naturally wants her daughter to marry the little prince of Hengjun. In order to cut off the thoughts of several mothers, His Majesty issued an order to give King Xian's adopted daughter Qiyun to Hengjun Little Prince, so that this farce was stopped.

Despite this, several mothers have always had illusions.

In particular, although she is favored by His Majesty, Concubine Li, who is under the other two mothers because of her background, has used her brother Jianwenbo to form a party for personal gain and wanton wealth in recent years, so she wants to use this as a weight to confront the other two mothers.
