Chapter 42: The Divine Decree
The more Qi Jingyun thought about it, the happier he became, and he didn't even hear the emperor's next words clearly.
"Now that you have accepted your heart, I want you to offer incense to me at the ceremony on the first day of the next lunar month." The emperor looked at King Jin and said.
This child's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the first queen, every time he sees him, he can think of Shi Fan, and every time he thinks of it, he feels a little more guilty in his heart.
Qi Jingyun reacted after a while, and hurriedly knelt down, "Please also ask my father to think twice, sacrificing to the ancestors is a big deal, and it really shouldn't be the little prince of Erchen to take on this heavy responsibility, please ask my father to take back his fate." ”
"I've been in poor health lately, and I've been unable to participate in the Mukden Festival. Why, can't you, as a prince, even take on this responsibility? ”
The emperor looked at Qi Jingyun who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but have a headache, and his tone became stern.
"Erchen ......" Qi Jingyun didn't want to give up easily, trying to save the current situation.
"Needless to say, what I said will not be taken back, you go back first, I will draw up a holy decree and send it to the palace, you just wait to receive it." The emperor didn't give him a chance to refute, and directly asked Gonggong Chen to polish ink for him to prepare a decree.
After putting pen to paper, Qi Jingyun saw that there was no room for maneuver, so he could only go back to his home and make plans.
Sitting in the carriage on the road, he was upset again, he didn't like to stay in the palace when he was a child, he thought that there were too many rules in the palace, and he finally had his own palace to be free, and now he was in charge of sacrificing to the ancestors, and the whole preparation process would take a month back and forth.
Qi Jingyun returned to the palace dejectedly, and Qiao Mingyue saw it and thought that he was scolded by the emperor.
Before he could ask, Gonggong Chen came to the palace with the holy decree.
"The Holy Decree has arrived. King Jin, Princess Jin received the order. Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Princess Jin is virtuous and virtuous, assisting King Jin to be meritorious, a pair of bounty inlaid with Dongzhu earrings, a set of jasper seven treasures exquisite hairpins, 30 Yun Jin, and 15 Song Jin. Chin this. ”
As soon as Qiao Mingyue wanted to stand up and receive the decree, she heard Gonggong Chen continue to read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." King Jin, the son of me. He said that he was diligent and diligent, and he handed over the matter of sacrificing the ancestors to King Jin in the Fengtian ceremony. Chin this. ”
"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live."
Two holy decrees in succession, Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but be surprised, the Fengtian ceremony has always been in charge of the emperor of the current dynasty, and the most special thing is that the crown prince does it on his behalf, and now the emperor has handed over this important task to Qi Jingyun, which can't help but make people a little scared.
Qi Jingyun didn't say a few words to Gonggong Chen after receiving the holy decree, and continued to stand aside and immerse himself in sadness.
Qiao Mingyue scolded her pig teammates in her heart, personally sent Gonggong Chen out of the palace, and secretly stuffed a few silver tickets for Gonggong Chen before leaving.
Gonggong Chen was happy when he saw the silver ticket, and couldn't help but say a few more words, "Princess Jin is really a blessing, and now King Jin is deeply loved by the emperor." ”
"Father-in-law Xie Chen for advice." Qiao Mingyue was full of joy on the surface, and scolded Qi Jingyun's bastard from top to bottom in her heart.
went to the early dynasty, how did it become deeply loved. Could it be that the father and son hugged each other and talked heart-to-heart? Has the power of family affection worked?
She had a headache when she thought about it, so she simply didn't want to, and went directly to Qi Jingyun to ask for clarification.
Qi Jingyun was paralyzed on the bed at this time, staring at the beam of the room in a daze, when she heard Qiao Mingyue coming in, she got up from the bed and walked over and hugged her without saying a word.
Qiao Mingyue wanted to teach him a lesson, but seeing that he looked dejected, she couldn't bear it, so she quietly let him hold him.
"Father's will, and he won't give me a chance to refuse." Without waiting for Qiao Mingyue to ask, Qi Jingyun himself explained the cause and effect. Don't forget to emphasize the part where you help the lady get a reward.
"I understand." Qiao Mingyue didn't say anything, patted his back gently, Qi Jingyun still had a familiar bamboo fragrance on his body, and when he got closer, he went straight into the person's nose.
Qi Jingyun is worried about her, if you want to say who doesn't want Qi Jingyun to be a blockbuster in the government, then Qiao Mingyue can definitely rank first. Originally, I persuaded him to study and study to calm him down and get into trouble when he went out, but who knew that things would become like this now.
At this time, the news of King Jin's participation in the Fengtian ceremony instead of the emperor has reached the palace, and everything that should be known and what should not be known is known.
The prince was painting, but when he heard the news from his cronies, he was so angry that he tore up all the paintings.
"I am the crown prince, why should he let him go to the heavenly ceremony, then what is my prince? Furnishings? ”
The prince has always been unaccustomed to Qi Jingyun, and today the two of them are fighting in the court, and now he has snatched what should belong to him, and unconsciously, the prince completely hates that King Jin in his heart.
After thinking about it, it was the new princess who made King Jin please in front of his father, but this princess was personally recommended by his mother, and the prince was really angry, and planned to go to the queen's palace to ask for clarification.
The queen was drinking bird's nest when she heard the eunuch outside the door report that the prince was coming.
As soon as she asked Mama to remove the bird's nest, the prince broke in violently.
"Is there something wrong with the prince looking for me in such a hurry?"
"Why did the sons come, I think the queen mother must know it in her heart." The prince saluted the queen, and naturally stepped forward to take the teapot in the hand of the palace maid and poured tea for the queen.
The queen took it and said unhurriedly: "The people recommended by this palace naturally know in their hearts. ”
The palace maid and the grandmother withdrew with a look in their eyes, leaving only the prince and the queen in the palace.
Seeing that there were no outsiders next to her, she continued: "That Qi Jingyun was brought up by the palace himself, and the palace knows best what kind of goods he is." As for that Qiao Mingyue, she didn't even understand the most basic rules, and it was probably more difficult to expect her to let King Jin be valued by the emperor than to ascend to the sky. ”
The queen took a sip of tea and put the cup aside, "This palace knows that you don't want to go to the Fengtian ceremony, you can rest assured, this palace will definitely not let Qi Jingyun successfully complete the sacrificial ceremony." What you need to do is to continue to play a filial and reliable son, and when the time comes, the emperor will naturally notice you. ”
The crown prince gradually calmed down after listening to the queen's words, and had to admit that he was indeed a little out of control just now.
"What is the Queen Mother going to do?"
The queen turned the finger guard on her hand, and looked out the window calmly, the begonia flowers outside were blooming brightly, and she looked at it for a while before she spoke, "I don't know, maybe, let him go and not return." ”
The prince was shocked, but he didn't say anything after all.
