Chapter 667: Tricky Queen (37)
"What is the queen going to do about this?" Liu Jing looked at the stunned Jiang Muxue, and suddenly asked, a certain woman came back to her senses urgently, lowered her head, and said softly: "It's all up to the emperor's orders." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Why?" Liu Jing was puzzled.
This matter was dominated by this woman from beginning to end, but now she suddenly retreated, which made Liu Jing difficult to guess.
Jiang Muxue's thoughts Liu Jing is unknown, but Liu Jing's thoughts Jiang Muxue is clear, the sudden appearance of the Ethereal Daoist brings a huge threat to Liu Jing, Jiang Muxue dares to guarantee that at this time, this emperor will definitely be extremely jealous of her and the Ethereal Daoist in his heart, maybe he will think that she has long colluded with the Ethereal Daoist, in this way, even the entire Xiao family will not be good.
Jiang Muxue came here to help Xiao Yu'er take revenge, but she can't take revenge and affect her family again.
"I, I...... Your Majesty, I have been blinded. Jiang Muxue said stupidly.
Liu Jing was stunned, and couldn't help but repeatedly inquire about the true identity of this ethereal Taoist, Jiang Muxue swore again and again that she would tell the events of the day in detail, even more detailed than last time.
For the follow-up of this matter, he already had an idea in his heart, and instructed Jiang Muxue to cooperate with him to continue to favor the Sixth Palace.
This move really made Xia Zhenji anxious.
He asked his master why he was so ruthless. Gu didn't have any effect at all.
Master Tongtian was also puzzled, so naturally he couldn't answer Xia Zhenji's question.
"Niangniang, there was new news from the Internal Affairs Office just now, this year's winter solstice, the emperor is going to take the queen mother to the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky, and now the Internal Affairs Office has begun to prepare things to sacrifice to the sky."
Accord hurriedly ran in, and a piece of news crushed Xia Zhenji, she slumped in her chair, and even said that it was impossible.
In the past few days, a series of news has almost smashed her unconscious, first of all, Kunning Palace was inexplicably allocated a sum of money for repair, but the actual situation Kunning Palace did not meet the repair standard at all. Later, she figured out that the emperor nominally wanted to repair the palace for Xiao Yuer, but in fact he wanted to build a hot spring palace for her in Kunning Palace.
Say that the queen is weak and boneless, and it is the best to soak in the hot springs in winter.
Originally, Kunning Palace was the best in the six palaces in terms of topography and hardware, and now what kind of hot springs are going to flow, after it is built, wouldn't it be like a fairyland?
Xia Zhenji had not yet digested the news, and suddenly it was rumored that Liu Jing rewarded the crown prince Liu Ji with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, the reason was that Liu Ji was very talented at a young age. Xia Zhenji immediately gritted her teeth, a three-year-old child can chant two lines of poetry, what's wrong with making two sentences? is also very talented, he is already the prince, and now he is valued by Liu Jing so much, what will happen to her children in the future?
Thinking of this, Xia Zhenji had another heartache, these days she patronized and fought with Xiao Yuer, and the pregnancy had long been forgotten, no matter what happened, Liu Ji already existed alive and was named the prince. And her son still doesn't know where.
But for half a month, Liu Jing didn't come to her Yuxiu Palace at all, even if she wanted to get pregnant, she couldn't get pregnant.
Today, there is another thing that the emperor and queen are going to ascend to the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky, which is unprecedented, and Xia Zhenji feels extremely dangerous.
You must know that the emperor and the queen of heaven, the matter of ascending to the altar of heaven to worship the heavens has always been done by the emperor and ministers, when are women allowed to appear?
At most, the queen is qualified to worship the earth, and then she has to wait until an important day, or an extraordinary time.
Again and again, Xia Zhenji couldn't stand it anymore, and directly gave an order to Master Tongtian, deciding not to be verbose anymore, and directly asked for Xiao Yu'er's life. And, in order to make Xiao Yu'er ugly and make her an eternal shame in Liu Jing's heart, she asked Master Tongtian to do it on the day of the winter solstice.
In front of everyone, the dignified queen suddenly went crazy and tore her clothes, and scratched her body and face, how shocking it should be.
Xia Zhenji was very happy thinking about it, ignoring the opinion of Master Tongtian at all.
"Master, what do you want to say, you know in your heart, so far, I have no way out, and on the day of the winter solstice, we have the only chance to do it."
"But, Zhen'er, this matter is not trivial, do you want to discuss it with Grandpa Guo and Hou Ye?" Master Tongtian felt that their series of misses were no accident, so Xiao Yu'er must have a master around him to guide him, and he was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that stealing chickens and rice on the day of the winter solstice would not be successful, and something would go wrong.
"What else is being discussed? Father and eldest brother agreed to send you to the palace, in order to help me get rid of Xiao Yu'er and help me ascend to the back position as soon as possible. ”
Xia Zhenji was aggressive, and Master Tongtian had no choice but to rely on her.
Although the two of them are called master and apprentice, in fact, Master Tongtian is just a strategist by Xia Guogong's side.
In that year, Xia Guogong won a great victory in Nanjing, and captured a large number of royal nobles in Nanjing, Master Tongtian was one of them, he was not noble, but he was the only descendant of the princess of the Nanjing Wu tribe, and had many skills.
After hearing this, Jiang Muxue knew that Xia Zhenji had been burned by the flame of jealousy, and couldn't help but sigh that the game was about to end.
On the day of the winter solstice, the Wenhua Hall was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, the outermost part was the Imperial Forest Army, responsible for protecting the safety of everyone, followed by a circle of monks and Taoist priests, all of whom chanted words in their mouths, silently reciting prayer scriptures. Then there were the loyal courtiers and royal nobles, all standing solemnly with solemn expressions.
This was the way it used to be.
However, this year has changed a lot, not only the emperor and queen are on the same stage, but also the harem concubines are all present in the above seats.
This scene was very strange in the eyes of the ministers.
Later, they explained that it seemed unreasonable for the queen to appear as a woman inexplicably, and the emperor called most of the concubines in the harem to join the team of worshippers in order to block the eloquence of Youyou.
However, the ministers, who have long been accustomed to a bunch of men worshipping the heavens, are very unapproving of this year's situation.
However, recently, the emperor has been in an unstable mood, often changing orders at the same time, and disposing of several cabinet ministers for many days in a row, so that they dare not say more.
The look is unnatural, not only these ministers, but also those harem concubines are even more nervous, and some of them are even ashamed of themselves, which is caused by the status of men and women in society, men are for heaven and women for the earth, and this kind of thing is done by emperors in all dynasties, and there has never been a woman in the ceremony of worshipping heaven in any dynasty.
Among the concubines, only Xia Zhenji held her head high, looking at Jiang Muxue who was standing side by side with Liu Jing in a daze, and sneered in her heart, that position would eventually belong to her.
When the hour comes, the sacrifice to heaven begins, and the ritual music begins.
The surrounding monks and Taoist priests chanted scriptures loudly, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who presided over this sacrifice to the heavens performed their duties, announcing the procedure step by step, and the monarchs and ministers walked step by step according to the procedure.
