Mao Lingfeng smiled, "Cousin Ze has come to give tea to my uncle and aunt." Empress Li wanted to get up and avoid it, but was stopped by Zhao Lingyu and Mao Lingfeng, "Uncle go there, if Cousin Ze doesn't have this belly, he won't be worthy of Feng'er to support him, and my aunt will sit with peace of mind." Tea is accepted for newlyweds. ”

Empress Li's expression darkened, "Am I worthy?" ”

"Why don't you deserve it, if your aunt is a ruthless person, she only needs a glass of poisonous wine, and presumably Cousin Ze will not be alive. But my aunt didn't do this, it can be seen that although my aunt supported my cousin to take the position, she didn't kill Cousin Ze. It can be seen that although my aunt competes for favor in the harem, she is a kind-hearted person. ”

After listening to Mao Lingfeng's words, Queen Li looked stunned, looked at Mao Lingfeng, and said faintly for a while: "I don't think that the person who knows my heart is actually Feng'er." Losing in your hands, I have nothing to say. ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled, "My aunt has won the award, Feng'er still admires my aunt's skills, and she can let your uncle vacate the harem for you and favor you alone." ”

Empress Li smiled, her eyebrows rolled, and she stretched out her palm and put it on her, Feng'er wants to learn, how does your aunt teach you? Let the prince revolve around you every day. "The smile is full of charm.

"Don't, my aunt's skills, my niece can't learn them in this life, and besides, the prince is very good to me now. I'll forget it anyway. Mao Lingfeng looked at Queen Li, who was like two people, and got goosebumps all over her body. Quickly shake your head and dodge.

Empress Li, poof, laughed, put away her flattery. Zhengse said, "If you can win the exclusive favor of your husband, you still have to enter his heart, these external things can only be fought for for a while." Mao Lingfeng nodded yes.

Zhao Lingyu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the two were talking happily, they wanted each other's lives a few days ago, and they talked like sisters, or discussed how to compete for favor. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Interrupt their conversation. "Ze'er, the two of them are here."

"Oh!" The two of them turned their heads in unison. Empress Li was sitting precariously, feeling worried.

Zhao Ize and Yan Rui were wearing regular clothes, walking hand in hand, and when they saw Empress Li also sitting on it, they were slightly stunned, and knelt on the kneeling mat prepared by the palace maid as usual, and kowtowed three times respectfully, "The son sees the father and the queen." ”

Yan Rui followed Zhao Size and kowtowed together, "Daughter-in-law to see the father and the queen mother." After speaking, the two of them each served a cup of fragrant tea.

"Excuse me, flat." Zhao Lingyu and Empress Li both took a sip of fragrant tea, put it on the table, and helped the two of them up. Empress Li picked up a brocade box on the table and opened it, this is the green jade bracelet I specially prepared, although it is not as precious as blood jade, it is also considered a good grade. After speaking, he took out the jade bracelet and put it on Yan Rui's wrist.

"Thank you for the reward." Yan Rui and Zhao Size thanked each other in unison.

Mao Lingfeng looked up at the hour, "Cousin Ze, it's time now." What do you say you should do? ”

Zhao Size looked up, isn't it, it's past the hour, it's time. couldn't help but smile, "What does my cousin want, after speaking, I personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mao Lingfeng."

Mao Lingfeng smiled lightly, "Cousin Ze is too insincere to give tea, so he poured a cup and handed it over while standing, is this called tea." ”

Zhao Size raised his eyebrows, "Then what kind of tea ceremony do you want?" ”

Mao Lingfeng's eyes rolled slightly, "Why do you have to kneel down, it's called tea!" ”

Zhao Size and Yan Rui looked at each other and said in unison, "No problem." After saying that, the two of them knelt on the ground with their cups and raised their hands above their heads.

Mao Lingfeng generously took the teacup and took a sip, nodded and said, "The tea that the emperor and queen salute is fragrant." "But I can't drink the tea of the two of you for nothing! I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. After speaking, he took the brocade box from Zhiqin's hand, took out the blood jade, and handed it to Yan Rui.

Zhao Size looked at it, "Cousin, I can't help it." ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled, "What's the matter, can my aunt blame me." After speaking, he looked at Empress Li. Empress Li smiled and shook her head.

Yan Rui had no choice but to take the blood jade, "Thank you, sister." ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled, "Cousin Ze, how should I punish you when you pass the hour?"

Zhao Size turned his heart sideways, "Cousin can punish him as much as he wants, I'll let it go today." ”

"Good! Cousin Ze said it himself, but he is not allowed to regret it. Mao Lingfeng smiled lightly, staring at Zhao Size and Yan Rui with a smile on his face.

Zhao Size sighed in his heart, what did this girl want to do, and an ominous feeling hit his heart.

Mao Lingfeng waved his hand to rebuke all the palace maids and eunuchs, and said with a smile: "Cousin Ze, I'm going to say, you have to be ready." ”

Zhao Size was apprehensive in his heart, "Let's just do it." ”

Mao Lingfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Then how about punishing Cousin Ze and Sister Yan Rui for kissing a pillar of incense?" Plus three days to prepare the sacrifice ceremony, that's all. ”

Zhao Ize looked at Yan Rui, Yan Rui's face was flushed with shame, and he drilled his head under Zhao Size's armpit.

Zhao Lingyu and Empress Li looked at each other and smiled and said, "You three of you are making trouble!" Our old man is going to move to another palace now. After speaking, the two held hands and exited the hall.

"Send my father and the queen mother." Zhao Ize and Yan Rui knelt on the ground to see each other off.

"Uncle, aunt." Mao Lingfeng also knelt on the ground. Zhao Lingyu and Empress Li waved their hands and stepped on the dragon chariot. The three watched as they both walked away.

Zhao Ize saw that there was no one left and right, and Mao Lingfeng kept staring at him, looking unwilling to give up. hugged Yan Rui and lowered her head to block her small mouth, Yan Rui was red from head to toe in shame, struggled a few times, didn't break away, just closed her eyes and responded slowly.

Mao Lingfeng smiled and quietly turned to leave, and when the two let go, she was already gone. Zhao Ize smiled, "Naughty, nonsense." The two hugged each other and returned to the dormitory.

Three days later, the sacrificial ceremony began, Zhao Size ordered someone to open the temple of Zhao Guozong, which was full of Zhao Guoli's emperor spirit cards, the lowest row, and finally the tablets of Mao Lingfeng's parents.

Mao Lingfeng knelt in front of the tablet in white clothes and plain clothes, and kowtowed nine times in a row, "Father, mother, daughter is not filial, I came to see you." After saying that, he couldn't kneel.

Zhao Size and Yan Rui also knelt on the ground, "Auntie, uncle, cousin has come to see you, over the years, my cousin has not had a good time, and now she has earned a lot of glory and is famous all over the world." Aunt, uncle, you have a spirit in heaven, and you should also turn a blind eye. There is also Cousin Rufeng, who is now the queen of Xiyi, who is pregnant with Liujia, and can't come to visit her aunt and uncle. I hope that my aunt and uncle will have a spirit in heaven and bless them both with safety and success in the future. Husband and wife love. After speaking, Zhao Size and Yan Rui also kowtowed three times, helped Mao Lingfeng up and said, "Cousin, don't be sad, my aunt and uncle must be very happy to see you coming." Get up! After speaking, he took out a scroll and handed it to Mao Lingfeng, "Cousin, this is a self-portrait of your father and mother that the foolish brother searched through the entire palace to find your father and mother. This is the original image, and it was also drawn by my aunt, so you can take it back! ”

Mao Lingfeng unfolded the scroll, a woman who looked like himself and a handsome man snuggled up to each other, as if whispering, and the two stared at each other with a smile on their faces. When Mao Lingfeng saw the true face of her parents for the first time, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and tears fell like broken pearls. Drops on the picture scroll.

Zhao Size sighed, rolled up the scroll, and patted Mao Lingfeng on the back, "Cousin, don't be sad, they will be distressed when they see you sad, don't cry, I'll take you to their mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing to have a look!" After speaking, he pulled up Mao Lingfeng, and the old man who was in charge of the family tree recorded Mao Lingfeng's deeds in the family tree.

Mao Lingfeng followed Zhao Size to the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing, and the mausoleum guards had already come out to greet him. Zhao Size ordered someone to open the mausoleum gate, and the three of them walked into the underground palace, with a huge coffin in the center. Zhao Size took the lead in kneeling on the ground, Ze'er visited her aunt, uncle, and remembered that the queen mother often said that she was coquettish in her aunt's arms when she was a child, and she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

"Dad, mother, Mao Lingfeng couldn't hold back anymore when she saw the coffin, lying on it and crying.

Zhao Ize was also speechless and comforted, gloomy and sad. Seeing that Mao Lingfeng's crying eyes were red and swollen, he said, "Cousin, please mourn, your body is important!" Let's get out! ”

"No, I'm going to guard the mausoleum here for seven days to fulfill my filial piety, so you guys should come back first!" Mao Lingfeng wiped his eyes away with a resolute expression.

"This, cousin, the wounds on your body have not healed yet, this underground palace is cold, how can you make it, even your aunt and uncle don't want to see you like this."

"I've made up my mind, cousin doesn't have to say much." Mao Lingfeng insisted on going his own way.

Zhao Size saw that the dissuasion was ineffective, "Otherwise, Rui'er, you stay with your cousin." Yan Rui nodded.

"No, you just got married, so let my sister stay here with me, I don't agree, you two go together. I have Zhiqin and Zhiqi as companions. ”

Zhao Size saw that Mao Lingfeng insisted on this, so he had no choice but to take Yan Rui back to the palace first, leaving a team of guards to guard the imperial tomb.

Mao Lingfeng had a vegetarian meal every day, kept it for seven days, knelt down and bowed goodbye, stepped out of the underground palace, and looked at the slowly closing dormitory door. Slowly turned around and took the two Zhiqin sisters back to the palace.

Yan Rui had already prepared a hot water dress, Mao Lingfeng freshened up, sat on the banquet and said to Zhao Size: "Cousin Ze, sister Rui'er, there is no feast in the world, I am going to get up tomorrow and go to Penglai Island, thank you for your hospitality." I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I salute you with a cup, I wish you an early birth of a noble son, love between husband and wife, and prosperity of the country. ”

"What, you're leaving tomorrow?" Zhao Size was taken aback.

"Sister, you just rest for two more days and go again when your body is better, otherwise it will be in vain if you don't have the physical strength to climb up." Yan Rui also struggled to keep it.

"No, I'm fine, I'm on the road to recuperate while hurrying! I've been out long enough, and I should have gone back sooner. Mao Lingfeng shook his head.

Zhao Ize and Yan Rui couldn't persuade her, sighed helplessly, and ordered someone to prepare a large bag of good medicinal herbs and a luxurious and comfortable carriage. Mao Lingfeng also gladly accepted. She took out the talisman given by Zhao Lingyu from her arms, handed it to Zhao Size, and said, "I will retire after success, and the original bi will return to Zhao." ”

Zhao Size didn't answer, and said: "I have already ordered someone to create a piece of the same talisman, this piece will be left by my cousin's side to make a thought, in case something happens, my cousin can still mobilize the soldiers and horses of Zhao State with this talisman." Officials from all over the country dare not disobey.

Mao Lingfeng sighed, "Put it away, so stay and think about it." Zhao Size raised his glass to Li Chengyong and Zhiqin Zhiqi and secretly raised his glass, thank you for your help this time, and ask the generals to protect their cousins. Let her return to the prince safely, please. ”

"There, there, protecting the general is our duty, please rest assured. The four of them raised their glasses in unison.
