Chapter 460: Worship the Temple of Meritorious Heroes

No matter how much damage Yun Xi's last sentence caused to Zhu Xi, Yun Xi said that "there are arrangements tonight" is not fooling Zhu Xi, he does have an arrangement, but it has nothing to do with outside the palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Yun Xi arranged for Xi Yao to feast on the wives and concubines of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's father and son who were still alive in the palace tonight.

Due to the funeral system in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many concubines who could survive their father and son, and Yun Xi had forgotten about them, but he heard Yun Zhi say how her mother was before, so he remembered them and arranged this banquet.

Since it was a banquet for the concubine, it was inconvenient for Yun Xi to come forward more, and at first he showed his face and said a few words, as long as he expressed his respect for the elders, as well as his gratitude to Concubine Guo Ning, Concubine Li and others, and then handed it over to Xiyao.

Yun Xi turned around and came to Xu Miaojin's Yanxi Palace. Xu Miaojin was obviously a little surprised. During the Chinese New Year, there are many things that need to be discussed with the queen or even done together, so most of the time Yunxi is in Kunning Palace, and it is of course a surprise that he came to Yanxi Palace today.

Yun Xi picked up Xu Miaojin, who was kneeling on the ground, and walked into the hall hand in hand.

Xu Miaojin instructed the palace maid to pour water for Yunxi, and said, "Why is the husband free to go to the concubine today?" ā€

Yun Xi said: "Oh, tonight I arranged a banquet for the imperial grandfather and my father's concubines, and there is some time. And my husband has something funny to tell you. Then Yun Xi said that he had changed the title of Zhu Lu to the King of Song and the domain of Luzon, but if Zhu Lu did not come to the capital to pay tribute this year, Yun Xi could not imagine that he would definitely not change his title to the King of Song.

Xu Miaojin really laughed and talked and laughed with Yun Xi. If he were to change to Xi Yao, he would definitely not be like Xu Miaojin. The so-called thunder and rain are all Jun'en, and she doesn't think it's funny. Not only her, but also Xiyi and Baoqin don't think it's funny.

But Xu Miaojin, who was born in a Guogong family, has more common language with Yunxi in this regard, and the two of them have more similarities, which Yunxi's other concubines can't achieve.

Xiyao is a good wife, a good queen of the Ming Dynasty, and a good queen mother of the prince and princess, but at this point, she cannot be compared with Xu Miaojin.

That night, Xu Miaojin pestered Yun Xi and lingered as much as she could. She has been in the palace for several months, and of course she wants to have a child. She is not pregnant, not only is she anxious, but even the Wei Mansion is anxious. It just so happened that Yun Xi came to her palace tonight, and she naturally wouldn't let Yun Xi go.

The next morning, Yun Xi, who had a sore back, got up from the bed, massaged his waist for a while, and then laughed with Xu Miaojin and left Yanxi Palace to do serious business.

When he walked to the Qianqing Gate, Lan Siqi was already waiting at the door. Not only her, but Wen Yuan, who was still young, was still sleeping in the car, and Lan Siqi was sitting at the door of the carriage, poking out a small head.

The little head saw Yun Xi coming over, hurriedly got off the car gently, walked up to Yun Xi and said, "I've seen my uncle." ā€

Yun Xi touched her little head and asked, "Is Wen Yuan asleep in the car?" ā€

"Well," Siqi said, "Xiao Yuan'er has been pestering Qi'er to play last night, and I heard Aunt Yi say that she slept very late. ā€

Yun Xi muttered softly, walked to the side of the carriage, and then got into the carriage gently, without disturbing Wen Yuan's good dreams. Siqi also tiptoed up again. The carriage slowly drove towards the Qianqing Gate.

Siqi glanced at Wen Yuan, who was sleeping, and asked Yun Xi softly, "Uncle, what are you going to do with me and Wen Yuan?" ā€

Siqi didn't wake up this morning when she was called up by the palace maid and said that His Majesty was going to take her out, washing and dressing in a daze, until she arrived at Qianqingmen, her little face was blown by the cold wind and she woke up, and then Yunxi came over and took her to the car, and then she had the opportunity to ask this question.

Yun Xi said, "Take you to meet your father." ā€

"My father?" Siqi wondered. Yun Xi had taken her to her father's grave before, and Lan Jin had taken her to her father's grave to pay respects, but she had never taken her to the grave to worship in the first month. According to traditional etiquette, a New Year's woman is not allowed to sweep the tomb, even if it is an only woman.

But she didn't wonder for long, for the carriage had only been running for a short time before it stopped. Siqi thought, 'This shouldn't be out of the Imperial City yet.' ’

Yun Xi woke Wen Yuan up, then picked him up and stepped out of the carriage. Siqi also jumped down, and when he looked up, there was a large temple standing in front of him. Although Siqi had never walked into this temple before, he knew that this was the temple of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Siqi was even more surprised: "Uncle," she pointed to the Meritorious Hero Temple in front of her and said to Yun Xi, "Uncle wants to take me into the Meritorious Hero Temple to see my father?" ā€

This is really too exaggerated, although Zhu Yuanzhang did not make rules to stipulate that women cannot enter the temple of meritorious heroes (on the contrary, there are strict regulations on entering the temple to worship, but under certain circumstances, the queen and princess can enter the temple to worship), but there has never been a woman to enter the temple of meritorious heroes to worship, if it is spread out, I am afraid it will cause criticism, that is, Siqi himself is difficult to accept for a while.

But Yun Xi didn't care about these criticisms. He said: "Your father not only portraited the temple of meritorious heroes, but after his uncle succeeded to the throne, he also let him enjoy the temple, if it weren't for the emperor's grandfather not allowing women from the non-royal family to enter the temple, my uncle would have taken you to the temple to worship." However, the temple of meritorious heroes is similar. ā€

Yun Xi said as he put down Wen Yuan. He pulled Wen Yuan with his left hand, and stretched out his right hand towards Siqi.

Siqi hesitated for a moment before reaching out and grabbing Yun Xi's right hand, and followed Yun Xi's steps into the Meritorious Temple.

The eunuchs who were in charge of cleaning here on weekdays were naturally very surprised to see Siqi, but as the least valued group of people in the palace, they didn't dare to say anything, and respectfully greeted Yun Xi and let them in.

The attitude of these eunuchs eased Siqi's nervousness a little, and she looked forward, expecting to just walk to her father's portrait and tablet, but she just looked casually to both sides, and was fascinated.

The portraits in the temple of meritorious heroes are painted by clever painters, which are very expressive, and Siqi also learned to paint, and involuntarily observed these portraits carefully.

As she was watching, she heard Yun Xi say, "This is it." She hurriedly turned her head and saw the portrait of her biological father Lan Lian, who she had seen countless times in the past few years, and the tablet.

For Lan Lian's father, although Siqi is still young, he also has a lot of thoughts.

She was sent out of the palace on the night of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, shortly after her third birthday, and returned to Lan Zhen's Liangguo Mansion. From that day on, she knew that she was not Yunxi's daughter, but his adopted daughter. Although she had felt that the palace maid's attitude towards her and Min'er was slightly different before, it was only then that she really knew the difference between herself and Min'er.

Later, she learned from different people about the origin of her biological father, why she was raised in the palace with the princesses, how her biological father died, and how her mother died.

Since then, the young Siqi has many ideas that his peers will not have.

Many people envy her very much and think that she is very good. His biological father died in battle for His Majesty to defend the back road and was crowned Marquis, and he was crowned the county lord at birth, and he was also brought up in the palace with the princess, and the imperial grandson and the princess all regarded her as their own and cherished her, and every year around the New Year they would be rewarded by Yunxi, more than the rewards of the princesses.

Outside the palace, her uncle also doted on her very much, and every time she went to the mansion, he put her in the first place, and even his own son was in the back row.

And as Yunxi's adopted daughter, she can almost compare to a princess when she marries in the future, and no matter which family she marries, she will never dare to treat her badly; At the same time, she is not a real princess, and she does not have to be bound by the rules and regulations formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Siqi himself had heard the maids say similar things in the palace and in the Liangguo Mansion. That time in the palace, she happened to be with Min'er when she heard it, Min'er was angry and told Xiyao, the next day the palace maids were beaten to death, and the female official in charge of these palace maids knelt in Kunning Palace for six hours, but Siqi persuaded Xiyao to let go of this female official.

Siqi really wants to question those who think that their lives are good: if you die before your father is born, and your mother dies before you are born, will you feel that your life is good! No matter how good other people are to you, can you have your own father and mother! Can there be!

Sometimes Siqi really wants to talk to someone, but who can she talk to? And Siqi doesn't like to argue with others. What's more, it's useless to argue, who will really understand her feelings when she hasn't felt it? Empathy is just a nonsense, and no one can really understand your feelings without experiencing something like this.

It is true that Siqi admits that he is lucky, born in such a family, even if his parents die, he will have no worries about food and clothing, but he definitely does not feel that his life is good.

Siqi didn't know what attitude to have towards his father. Hold a grudge against him for ignoring his wife and daughter? It seemed that the circumstances of the time did not allow him not to do so; Appreciating his actions? But it was he who made his mother die in childbirth and made himself an orphan.

So Siqi didn't know what to say about his father, 'Maybe this is the will of God, the will of God made me an orphan girl.' Siqi thought.

"Siqi, say a few words to your father." Yun Hee's words interrupted Siqi's thoughts.

Siqi came back to his senses, walked to Lan Lian's portrait and knelt down, bowed his head and said silently in his heart: "Father, I don't know if you have been reincarnated, if you haven't been reincarnated, you must remember: In the next life, don't leave your daughter behind." ā€

Yun Xi took Wen Yuan's hand and stood aside, missing the person in the Duke's Mansion who was like-minded and bold with him. Although Lan Lian is his cousin according to his seniority, and he is a few years older than him, he has never met such a deed person since then.

Yun Xi set his eyes on Siqi who was kneeling on the ground, silently thinking about something. Although Lan Zhen passed one of her sons to Lan Lian, Lan Lian's real blood and blood are only Siqi.

'Lan Lian, don't worry. Yun Xi thought.
