Chapter 453, Sacrifice
With this question in mind, Qi Qing'er dressed up and entered the palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The courtiers had already gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and a small number of princes and princesses had also arrived.
Zhu Wan escorted Qi Qing'er forward, and saw Gao Jingwen's mother and daughter who came to support Concubine Hui from a distance, and when they got closer, Qi Qing'er was busy bending her knees to salute.
Concubine Hui was the same, her face was calm, and her tone of voice was the same as before, and she said, "Quickly excuse yourself." Now I know that your body is weak, how to make it under this cold wind, so as not to hurt your knees again. ”
Qi Qing'er got up and looked at Concubine Hui with a smile, only to find Concubine Li standing behind Concubine Hui.
She hung her head, tugging at the corners of her clothes with her hands, she didn't have the atmosphere of Concubine Hui at all, and she seemed to have some guilt for Qi Qing'er, standing there was particularly twisted.
Qi Qing'er stepped forward for a while, not knowing whether to step forward to say hello.
The scene was suddenly a little awkward.
In Qi Qing'er's psychology, she understood the compulsion of the concubine, and she never blamed her, and she blamed Yingguo's ruthlessness.
Gao Jingwen sensed the embarrassment of the atmosphere, took Concubine Hui's hand, and said, "It's better for the mother concubine to go first with Concubine Li, my daughter still has something to say to Sister Qing'er!" ”
Concubine Hui smiled and looked at Gao Jingwen and then at Qi Qing'er, understood the meaning of Gao Jingwen's words, and left with Concubine Li first.
The sun is shining brightly overhead.
Gao Jingwen raised her head and squinted at it, and said, "The loyal soul of the Qi family has finally been able to settle down, congratulations to my sister." ”
It sounds indescribably alienating.
Qi Qing'er closed her eyes and said with a deep sigh: "Congratulations, don't dare to be." If my parents live until now, it will be the age of Concubine Hui. I wish their tablets weren't in the ancestral hall, at least not now......"
As soon as these words fell, Gao Jingwen knew that she had said the wrong thing, pursed her lips, and said, "I said the wrong thing." He twisted his waist again, took Qi Qing'er's hand, and said, "Let's go, my father and the emperor are almost there." ”
Qi Qing'er let her pull her away.
His gaze fell on Gao Jingwen's slightly skimmed side face. In fact, she is a cute girl, and she can't pretend to be a flawless mind. Originally, the estrangement that had been built with great effort collapsed before it could hold up for a minute in front of Qi Qing'er.
Qi Qing'er, who was following behind, couldn't help laughing, sped up her steps, and walked side by side with Gao Jingwen.
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Emperor Gao had already brought some of the courtiers into the inner hall, and Yan Song was also among them. King Qi stood on the left hand side of Emperor Gao, dressed in white, which was in stark contrast to Emperor Gao's black.
After Qi Qing'er and the others arrived, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette guided him inside and stood behind King Qi.
Facing the full five or six rows of spiritual positions above, Qi Qing'er's heart trembled, and her head was a little dizzy all the time, thanks to Gao Jingwen next to her in time.
After fifteen years of precautions and a year of bloody rain in Beijing, now that the goal has been achieved, I always feel that I have a breath in my heart that it is time to let go, and this breath is often the last breath to sustain life.
The memorial service begins at the end of the hour and ends at noon, a full hour in between.
During the whole process, Emperor Gao had to be supported by Gonggong Zhang. After the memorial service, before leaving, Emperor Gao glanced at Qi Qing'er fiercely, with mixed emotions in his eyes, many reproaches, and more helplessness.
Qi Qing'er asked King Qi: "Your Majesty is still unwell, should this memorial ceremony be arranged by him!" ”
She originally wanted to say: You forced Your Majesty to do this so quickly, right? But thinking about it, in front of other princes and princesses, it was a different way of saying.
King Qi did not reply directly to Qi Qing'er's words.
Instead, he glanced at everyone first, then turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall, stopping at the verandah of the side door.
Qi Qing'er knew what it meant and followed.
King Qi said, "I want to advance our wedding date, and I want you to marry with peace of mind, so ...... So he took matters into his own hands and arranged a memorial service. Emperor Gao was not reluctant, but did not veto it completely. ”
Qi Qing'er bowed her head and said: "You have announced the notice to the world, and the people of the world no longer think that my father is a traitor, which is a great relief for me, in fact, the spiritual position can be set up in the ancestral hall for a while, Your Majesty and you are father and son after all......"
Qi Qing'er thought of his father for a while, and saw that King Qi was forcing Emperor Gao to do so, so he felt this emotion.
King Qi turned sideways slightly, and there was a faint chill between his eyebrows.
Since he was kicked out of the palace by Emperor Gao, he no longer recognized the father who forced his biological mother to death, because he said: "Tiger poison does not eat children, and it depends on how he killed King Ling in the first place...... Today, how can I still be a father to him, I don't know what the relationship between father and son is. He forced your whole family to death at the beginning, and now he deserves this fate! ”
King Qi said that in the end, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Qi Qing'er glanced at him, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Gao Jingwen and the others who walked out of the ancestral hall, and changed the topic and said: "Shicai saw that His Majesty's complexion was not good, and he still insisted on coming to come to worship, I should go and thank you for the Qi clan." ”
With that, Wei Shi bowed and turned to leave.
King Qi stretched out his hand, knowing that she was saying this to Gao Jingwen, Concubine Hui and other concubines and princesses behind him, but for some reason, he couldn't see relief in Qi Qing'er's eyes, but was a little lonely.
Just thinking about it, Gao Jingwen's voice sounded behind him, "Won't Brother Huang go to the Heart Cultivation Hall with Sister Qing'er?" ”
King Qi turned around and replied, "No, I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with." Oh, by the way, I'll ask Jian Feng to send you back to the house in a moment. ”
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Gao Jingwen stopped him and said, "Sometimes it is just an idea to support a person to survive beyond life and death. Just like when I came back from Yueguo, if it weren't for Jian Feng's waiting, maybe I would have died in the harem of Yueguo. Brother Junsheng, I don't know what the idea of supporting Sister Qing'er to this day is, is it the promise that my brother gave at the beginning, or the obsession of clearing the grievances of the family, now of these two, one has been completed, and the other ...... The brother asked himself, did the promise really exist? ”
While the two were talking, King Qi looked out of the verandah and moved half a step, half of his body shrouded in the warm sun.
He stood for a while, and then said, "My sister reminded me." In addition, Qing'er has only one friend in the capital, since you have accepted her life experience, I hope that my sister will no longer mind what she did after entering Beijing, most of which are also because of me. Then he looked at Gao Jingwen very sincerely.
Gao Jingwen nodded naturally.
She was alienated from Qi Qing'er, angry, and even ignored her, all of which were momentary tempers.
Although both of them love to hold grudges, they are both people who value love and righteousness, and they are indispensable to have a heart that others don't have.
King Qi saw Gao Jingwen's relieved smile on the corner of her mouth, so he relaxed and walked away.
Leaving Jian Feng behind.
……
Let's say that Qi Qing'er arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace.
