Chapter 44: On the way out of the palace
Lu Qingjin almost staggered into the carriage, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she sat in the carriage, this golden dress was really too heavy, and she couldn't sit still at the thought of accepting the worship of all the people.
Qin Zhao looked at her sitting crookedly beside him and frowned: "You're already a queen, you can't do what you want like like this, there are rules for this sitting posture, you can't sit for a while according to the rules?" ”
Lu Qingjin rolled his eyes indifferently: "You are wearing an ordinary dragon robe, but I am wearing pure gold clothes, if it weren't made of gold thread, you wouldn't be able to sit in the next carriage with me with this dress." ”
Qin Zhao shrugged his shoulders helplessly and didn't say anything, he also knew that this dress was not normal, but for many years, the queen had been wearing such clothes, and he didn't know how to change it for a while.
Lu Qingjin ignored him anymore, looking out from the window of the carriage, rows of carriages rumbling in front, she frowned and glanced at it: "Who are the carriages in front of this!" The concubine doesn't look like a minister, but like a person in the palace. ”
Qin Zhao sighed inexplicably: "That's the other four concubines in the palace, and they are also going to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony together." ”
Lu Qingjin instinctively felt that something was not right: "Didn't you say that only the queen can participate in this heaven sacrifice ceremony?" What's the matter with those concubines, shouldn't they be in the palace to participate in another blessing ceremony? ”
Qin Zhao coughed a little embarrassed: "I specially allowed them to go with me, after all, this is the first time I have reported the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony since I ascended the throne. ”
Lu Qingjin nodded and didn't say anything anymore, she knew in her heart that this was something she had done, although those ministers said that they had died down, but Qin Zhao, as the emperor, couldn't have said nothing, but this trip looked like she was going to suffer.
She didn't think it was wrong at all, before she left the palace, the minister's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that in order to show the demeanor of the queen, you should walk out of the palace from here." ”
Qin Zhao didn't speak, just glanced at Lu Qingjin, and Cai Wei's voice sounded from afar: "Lord Lu, what are you talking about, I have never heard of such a rule, let alone walking out of the palace from here, even if you walk outside the palace at the gate of the palace, it is impossible to catch up, let alone the mother is still wearing gorgeous clothes!" ”
Lu Qi stood there without advancing or retreating, Cai Wei was angry and gritted her teeth and didn't speak again, Lu Qingjin sighed quietly and knew that he couldn't hide, so he raised his hand and pushed open the door of the carriage: "I think this is the rule that Lord Lu specially left for the palace, it's not good to embarrass the emperor, just leave the palace." ”
The golden clothes looked a little wide on Lu Qingjin, and inexplicably Lu Qi felt that there was something different about his daughter, and it was too late for him to think about it, Lu Qingjin had already walked down, and the carriages stopped one by one in the palace gate, and she walked over step by step in heavy clothes.
All the palace people were watching, the eyes were either sympathetic or disdainful, but she didn't seem to see anything, just walked blindly, Manli's cloak dragged out a long section behind her, the bluestone slab road was marked one after another, and the scorching sunlight reflected on the clothes for a moment and others couldn't open their eyes.
Qin Zhao looked at Lu Qi outside the carriage with an inexplicable expression: "Lu Aiqing thinks it's nothing, my queen has already gone, can I also go!" ”
Lu Qi bowed his body and said that he didn't dare, and got out of the way, Qin Zhao's carriage slowly walked forward without even closing the door. All the people were watching, and all the carriages were following behind the queen.
Everyone's hearts are mixed, Concubine Li looked at Lu Qingjin who was struggling to walk and frowned and pinched the handkerchief in her hand, Xiaocui looked at her inexplicably: "Niangniang, what's uncomfortable?" ”
Concubine Li let out a long sigh and said in an inexplicable tone: "It's okay, it's not good for others to think that we are too delicate at this time." ”
Concubine Yun also looked at Lu Qingjin's back and sighed, and said to the grandmother beside her, "Have you seen it?" This is the position that everyone wants, not to mention any wealth, even his father is calculating, and I admire him a little now. ”
Mama sighed and stopped talking, at this time the most complicated mood was still Qin Zhao, he knew that this road would not stop, but he didn't expect it to start at this time, he let out a long breath and told himself in his heart: "You are the emperor, this is what the queen should bear, as long as you leave the palace, there is nothing to make it difficult for her, as long as you endure it a little longer." ”
The palace door slowly opened in front of Lu Qingjin, and it was not the first time she had seen everything outside, but this time it was very different, everyone looked at her, as if they were looking at some god, and they knelt on the ground and bowed willingly.
At that moment, it seemed that the blood veins on his body were boiling, and an old voice asked in the depths of Lu Qingjin's heart: "Have you seen my descendants?" This is the right, this is the people, they are the hope of this country, the existence that obeys and believes in you and is even willing to give their lives for you! ”
Lu Qingjin took a breath and walked outside the palace, the palace gate was like a dividing line, the door was cold and deceitful, and outside the door was the warmest and hottest loyalty in the world!
Thank you that the people don't know what happened in the palace, they don't even know why their queen walked out, but this does not affect their trust and loyalty to the royal family, unlike those dynasties that have existed for many years, Dayu has just been established not long ago, which means that the trust of the people in it has not been eroded.
Qin Zhao didn't know when he walked up to her, gently held her hand and walked forward, and whispered, "Did you see it?" Those people believe in me, so whatever happens is worth it. ”
All the people worshipped, as if the people of a country were concentrated in this place, everyone shouted them, and the emperor and queen walked slowly in gorgeous clothes, as if it was a sign of the flowery future of the country.
The two of them gradually walked away, and Lu Qingjin finally returned to the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "Where are we going to worship the heavens!" ”
Qin Zhao looked at her and complained a little aggrieved and felt a little distressed: "It's not too far, but it will take five or six days, and the things there are all ready, so I don't think we need to plan anything else." ”
Lu Qingjin sighed and leaned heavily against the wall of the carriage: "It's uncomfortable here, I don't know when I can get off the carriage, if you want me to say that this queen is really not a brisk life!" ”
