Chapter 139: Hands-on
At dawn on the second day, a palace person sent by Concubine De informed that in order to get rid of the epidemic in the palace and pray for the dragon heir, he would sacrifice in Hakodate today, and Concubine De ordered all palace concubines and palace people to go together.
Although Ruoyun was suspicious, she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly took a sedan chair and left the forbidden palace.
Standing in a corner of the palace on the periphery of the palace, the pavilion is the tallest and most conspicuous in the palace, and the tall spire can be seen even from a distance.
Only after getting off the sedan chair and walking up the jade steps, Ruoyun has been attracted by the transparent white jade wall, I heard that this Taishi Division has never been taken seriously, and the emperor suddenly rebuilt the big building, from a distance it is a light-colored pavilion, up close is actually a fine and transparent white jade wall inlaid with ebony, repaired for nearly 20 years and the whole body is crystal clear, a natural pure air makes people shocked.
She instinctively felt frightened and depressed, if it wasn't for Concubine De to send someone to tell her, she wouldn't want to set foot here, everyone knew that this was the place where Zhao Wuyang and the high priests of the past dynasties were located, although they were clearly subordinate to Qin Tianjian, but as early as the time of the emperor, they had escaped jurisdiction and formed their own faction.
She thought that she had walked into the Taishi Division, which everyone was in awe, and the eunuchs and palace maids were all left outside the heavy black inner door, the hall was brightly lit, the bright four walls were carved with reliefs, the ground was hollow, and the golden water meandered under the stone slabs.
At the end of the stone bridge is the center of the entire Hakodate, with altars and auspicious cloud pillars, and the towering pavilion rises straight into the sky, and the top of the pavilion opens up from the inside, and the clear sky turns into a pale blue, surrounded by rainwater phoenix tail tiles.
On the altar, Zhao Wuyang was reciting words in white clothes. The surrounding boys stood with utensils in their hands.
Hu Shu'er sat next to Concubine De, touched Shang Ping's lower abdomen, and looked at the center proudly.
Ruoyun saw Concubine De, so she picked an empty seat and sat down. His eyes stared directly at Zhao Wuyang's movements, for fear that he would make some trouble by taking advantage of this.
Xu Cuiwei beside her looked tired, and when she saw her coming, she covered her lips with her sleeves and whispered to her: "Hu Jieyu is really a good pomp, Lord Hu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he doesn't come to congratulate the whole world, and he has to be exorcised and sacrificed in the palace to make up his mind." ”
Listening to her complaint, Ruoyun was very surprised. Busy said: "It was arranged by Lord Hu?" ”
"Or else?" Xu Cuiwei glanced at her, then looked at the altar again, and said strangely. "The emperor has not returned to the palace yet, and Concubine De can't push it. Who knows how precious Jieyu Niangniang is, and what tricks will come out tomorrow. ”
Her voice was very low, and it was the first time she had been so impatient.
Ruoyun sighed. Xu Cuiwei has never asked about palace affairs. Since Hu Shuer publicly announced that she was pregnant, she set up a banquet for a while, and told her father to pray for blessings for a while, I don't know if Rong Jinhuan would be like this if she was in the palace?
Ruoyun thought of this, but her heart was stunned.
Since Mo Zhaoyi slipped the tire, this is Rong Jinhuan's first child, who said that he would not be happy as a father for the first time?
She sighed and shook her head, Qin Se and Ming, Youzi Chenghuan kneeled, this kind of situation was too far away from her Su Ruoyun. And Hu Shuer's draw of the flower lottery won the first place, but it was easy to win.
Ruoyun looked at Mo Zhaoyi's usual cheerful expression from a distance. Her face was tired, and she thought that she had just recovered from her horror, and she must have been sad to remember her past. But Concubine De looked calm, but her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she never calmed down, and she looked at her with the usual majesty on her face.
Ruoyun looked at the center, Zhao Wuyang paced and recited the words, walking steadily, and the voice of Lang Lang echoed in the hall, even if he didn't believe it, this situation made the people around him rarely talk, and the atmosphere was solemn.
She couldn't help but panic, and wrinkled the Luo skirt on her lap, although others didn't know, she witnessed him stealing Kunlunqu, and the puppet she saw with her own eyes harming people, and the Qingping Sect killed countless people everywhere it went, I'm afraid that what Zhao Wuyang wanted in his heart was not to pray for the emperor's heir, but to curse. If Hu Shu'er knew what was behind the road, I was afraid that she would not be able to sit upright for the first time......
Halfway through the reading, Zhao Wuyang seemed to pause, and his eyes, which were usually as plain as still water, passed through the boy and the concubine, and looked at her, the sharp color in his eyes seemed to dye the plain white around him black, and the sudden intention was untouchable.
Ruoyun suddenly sat up straight and clasped her hands, but she couldn't show it in front of everyone, so she had to pretend that nothing happened, looking at the relief on the wall from afar.
Zhao Wuyang only glanced at it, then looked back at his posture, presented the utensils that revered heaven and earth, and then read the other dossier.
Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around, and felt that this Taishi Si Hakodate was very similar to the Star Picking Pavilion, but it was bigger and more magnificent than the Star Picking Pavilion.
She frowned and pondered, she always felt that the Star Picking Pavilion that had been converted into an organ building was definitely not a decoration, although the people of the Taishi Division Hakokan could not enter the Forbidden Palace and could not leave the Suzaku Gate, but others wanted to check it and maybe they could do it, at least Rong Jinhuan was hindered by the first emperor, and he couldn't take the Taishi Division for the time being.
Hu Shu'er turned from the previous excitement to Mu Ran, and the most boring afterward, just when her eyelids were about to fight, Zhao Wuyang arched her hand at Concubine De Niangniang, signaling that he only needed to arrange some small altars to worship heaven and earth.
Concubine De didn't know about this, so she was busy claiming that it was good.
Considering the structure of the Taishi Division with a large hall in front and a courtyard study in the back, Ruoyun fell into deep thought and didn't realize the passage of time, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the ladies of the palace were going out of the palace one after another, and she fell behind in this way.
"Concubine Xian Niangniang stays."
She raised her feet and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Wuyang, so she had to reluctantly turn around, change her smiling face, and said respectfully: "High priest, I don't know what you have to do when you call this palace?" ”
"I don't know if Concubine Xian Niangniang, what do you think of Wuyang praying for the emperor's heir?" Zhao Wuyang's face was expressionless, and there was no emotion between his upright eyebrows.
"Don't dare, this palace doesn't know anything about this, only that the high priest does his best, which is a blessing from heaven." Ruoyun is calm and unhurried.
Zhao Wuyang saw that her attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, so he smiled and said: "Concubine Xian, please take it, Wuyang has to go to all parts of the palace." ”
"Do you want to enter the Forbidden Palace?" Ruoyun instinctively felt that it was dangerous, and although there was something wrong, she gritted her teeth and asked.
"If you don't enter, you can go outside." Zhao Wuyang replied openly and fairly, spreading his hands to show his innocence.
"Then there is a high priest of Lao, and the palace will retire." Ruoyun couldn't find anything on his face, and remembered that day when he borrowed a knife to kill someone, he felt creepy, and walked quickly to the door after hurriedly bowing his head.
When her figure disappeared outside the black wooden door, Zhao Wuyang's smile dimmed little by little.
The lights went out suddenly, and the hall that had just been lit up was suddenly a lot darker, and two people in red and black walked out from behind the hall and bowed their hands to Zhao Wuyang.
"Lord Zhao, there were people from the emperor in Chaolu Palace first, and now there are more people from the palace with different surnames, so it is inconvenient for me to startle the snake......" The man in red spoke first, his face embarrassed.
Zhao Wuyang raised his hand to interrupt him, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, if the emperor is defeated, who will protect her?" Are you still afraid that she won't hand over Kunlunqu when the time comes? ”
The man in red was frightened and hurriedly bowed his head to him.
"Lord Zhao......" the man in black spoke, but he was not as respectful as the man in red.
"What?" Zhao Wuyang lost his edge at the moment, and asked patiently.
"The master wants to see you, saying that everything is ready."
Zhao Wuyang's expression froze, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "I know the way, I'll go later." ”
After he finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and stepped inside, and several acolytes on the altar hurriedly turned around and followed, their eyes empty and their steps sluggish, but they didn't look strange from a distance.
Ruoyun escaped from Taishi Si and joined Xiaohong, and was relieved to see that no one was coming.
Zhao Wuyang's sudden sacrifice made her fidget, but fortunately, nothing unusual happened throughout the day, and she was a little relieved.
Hu Shu'er changed her way to make a fuss, she had to be picky and picky, and she changed the food and clothing in her Shuchang Pavilion for two days, Concubine De's face was dim, the emperor still hadn't returned when she heard the news, and she was inconvenient to have a seizure, so she could only endure it for the time being. Mo Zhaoyi simply stopped asking about anything, and for the first time in these years of entering the palace, she became impatient, except for sending someone to Chaolu Palace to inquire about the imperial dining room.
Concubine De's forbearance, Mo Zhaoyi's avoidance, and the ignorance of Concubine Xian Niangniang and Xu Zhaorong invisibly fueled Hu Shu'er's arrogance, and even Chu Rulan, who had always been afraid of high-ranking concubines on weekdays, became arrogant.
Ruoyun listened to Xiaohong's description, drank the summer soup with low interest, and looked forward to going to the imperial dining room when night fell, and after investigating the case, she would be free as soon as possible, and avoid it like Mo Zhaoyi.
In the middle of the night, the palace lights were dimmed, Rong Yixuan arrived as promised in civilian clothes and green clothes, dismissed all the palace people in the imperial dining room, and ordered people to clean up the surrounding houses, before signaling Ruoyun to go.
Xiaohong yawned and followed with a lantern, while Ruoyun walked unhurriedly.
After a night of emptiness, the imperial dining room was not stolen as she expected, and now is the perfect time.
Ruoyun asked Xiaohong to guard the door of the imperial dining room and not allow anyone to enter or leave, and she walked to the big room, where she saw that some semi-finished products were stored here, and sweet soup was still simmering in the stove.
"This king won't let anyone in, what are you going to do?" Rong Yixuan looked at her lightly dressed and confident, and thought that she had a plan.
Ruoyun slowly looked around, and when she passed by the stove, she quietly took out a small mirror from her sleeve and put it on it, and lit a lamp and put it on the farthest part of the long table, and sat down at the long table with her back to the stove.
Rong Yixuan's eyes lit up, and he sat down next to her, but she made a silent gesture.
He knew it, and deliberately looked at the dark night and said, "There is no one else here, if you are hungry for a long time, there is still food in the pot, and it doesn't hurt to take a nap." ”
She laughed, looking at Rong Yixuan's resolute face under the dim bean light, a sense of familiarity arose, and she couldn't help but be confused, and she didn't know what to reply, but she only said: "The prince's daughter's body, I don't have to sit on such a cold ground with me." She is also grateful that he came, otherwise there is something that needs to be fought, she will not be able to punch or kick, she will panic, and if he doesn't come, she will have to ask Zhang Yu for help.
Rong Yixuan didn't answer, and only sighed after a long time, and said softly: "That's it, whether it's the country or the country, or the beauty, the cool land is not a long sitting, just don't sit in the future." (To be continued......)
