Chapter Twenty-Nine: Greeting the Queen Mother

There are good-looking people, but they don't necessarily have the majesty of the emperor.

Jing Shen is different, wearing brocade clothes to show demons, and wearing imperial robes is full of arrogance.

Ming Weiran inadvertently met his eyes like a deep pool, as if she had missed a beat, but she did not lose her etiquette and said: "See the emperor." ”

"Flat." He spit out two words lightly, and there was some surprise in his eyes, these days, she has indeed diminished, and she didn't have such a charm when she wore this court dress before.

The concubines who should have arrived had already arrived, and they looked at Ming Weiran with shocked expressions, and reacted for a moment before getting up: "See the queen mother." ”

"Let's be flat." Ming Weiran is very decent.

She quietly looked at the people around her, there were only six concubines, but despite this, they each had their own merits, various styles, and Yan Hong was quite outstanding.

One of the women was a little familiar, and Ming Weiran thought carefully for a moment before remembering the contemptuous woman who passed by him on the day he went up.

All the people are waiting for Ming Weiran, and the queen is late and not late, so it is also Jing Shen's intention to let Ming Weiran arrive.

Jing Shen walked down and whispered in her ear, "Let's go." ”。

He thought that the queen couldn't help but be nervous when he participated in such a ceremony for the first time, and he wanted to appease her, but after thinking for a long time, he only had two words, "Let's go".

Jing Shen meant to be comforting, but when he said it, it was very provocative.

Ming Weiran, who was already nervous, heard this whisper, and his heart was not calm.

Although she was nervous, she still walked next to Jing Shen naturally and generously, like a person who had experienced a big scene.

The so-called taking on a big responsibility is not to be unflustered, but to talk and laugh freely despite the panic in your heart.

After going down the steps, Mo walked more than 100 meters, and only stopped in the middle of the brick road, and then the red copper-inlaid door was slowly opened by two eunuchs.

The scene outside the door is impressive.

I saw hundreds of officials in court uniforms lined up on both sides of the road, because they were blocked by the gate wall, they couldn't see the people behind them clearly, and in the distance were soldiers with spears that stretched for nearly 100 meters.

After a while, a eunuch ran over panting and knelt in front of Jing Shen: "The Empress Dowager has entered the Lingguang Righteous Path." ”

I say that I retreat on the road side.

"Welcome to the Queen Mother." Jing Shen passed down.

Lu Zisheng preached: "Welcome to the Queen Mother." ”

Then there were two people paged, eight people paged, sixteen people paged, and then sixty-four people paged, and the sound shook the roof tiles, which was awe-inspiring and moving.

Ming Weiran saw this scene, and even gave birth to a lot of excitement, in her impression, "Wanli Fifteen Years" once had such a picture, the emperor accepted the prisoner, that is, after the victory of the battle "prisoner" ceremony, there was also such a page, at that time she was just reading a book, it was already very shocking, and now it can be regarded as seeing.

Finally, the queen mother's guard of honor entered the Lingguang righteous path.

First of all, more than a dozen soldiers on horseback and raising flags took the lead, after entering the main gate, they stopped on both sides, and saw an official in a green robe walking slowly, and stopped before entering the palace gate, and then saw two columns of guards holding honor fans coming, stopped under the palace gate, lined up on both sides, only then did I see that the sedan chair pulled by the eight horses stopped, the brocade curtain around the sedan chair has been tied, the low stool was placed on the side of the sedan chair, and under the support of the maid, down a dignified figure dressed in Hunan red brocade.

At the moment when her feet landed on the ground, the officials immediately knelt down: "The ministers welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace." ”

She said with a kind face: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Ming Weiran looked at this woman with a steady and mature demeanor, gently supported the maid beside her, and walked over, behind her was a large group of people, including the person in the green robe.

When she got closer, Ming Weiran saw this woman with an extraordinary temperament: the golden gem-inlaid phoenix hairpin on her head was very conspicuous in the silver bun, and behind her ears was a golden half-moon-shaped hairpin, and the jewels and jewels on her hair were exquisite and simple, not so-called graceful and luxurious, but a little cordial and kind.

Bright eyes, curved eyebrows, although there are wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, but the complexion is still white and bright, and the charm reveals the dignified dignity and elegance of the bones after years of refinement, which is "the beauty that the years never defeat".

This kind of beauty in the bones will not be diminished by half with the fading of the appearance, but more profound, and the undefeated years have always been like this.

She looked at the person in front of her, and the smile in her eyes was even more obvious.

"The sons and daughters brought the queen and the concubines to welcome the queen mother back to the palace." As soon as the words fell, Ming Weiran and the concubine behind Jing Shen knelt down with him.

"Hurry up."

"Is the Queen Mother okay on this trip?" Jing Shen got up.

"Thanks to Lord Zeyun, everything is fine."

The blue-robed man behind "Chen Zeyun respectfully invites Sheng'an" heard the voice of the Queen Mother, and immediately knelt aside, "The minister was ordered to escort the Queen Mother to Mount Tai, and he was blessed by the Holy Lord and fulfilled his mission." ”

Jing Shen said: "Give two hundred taels of gold." ”

"Thank you."

Ming Weiran looked at the person in front of her, she was still young, but her eyes were a little sophisticated, she seemed to be happy and angry, she was not afraid when she visited the shrine, and she didn't see joy when she was rewarded, and her first feeling was that it was not simple.

After the ministers entered the hall and bowed, Lu Zisheng began to read out the selected chapters.

When he heard the names of the masters of these recitals, Ming Weiran felt that the so-called cabinet was so high-ranking and powerful, there were hundreds of copies of the recitals, but only four copies were read, and they happened to be: Xu Si, Xu Tian, Ming Xiansong, and Feng Yong.

Ming Weiran naturally knew who they were, and couldn't help but think that Zhu Houxi, the Ming Shizong during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, believed in Taoism all the year round, but the most common person who wrote Qingzi for Emperor Jiajing was Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, so that Yan Song later was called "Qingzi Prime Minister".

There are naturally not many good opportunities to express their hearts in front of the emperor, the queen mother, the empress and other officials, and such opportunities should naturally be given to the cabinet, and their recitals can be read out, not only because their rights are there, but also because the people in the cabinet themselves have a very high level of literary talent.

Moreover, more importantly, some things between the court can be vaguely reflected, and some things do not need to be said explicitly, but vaguely expressed, so that smart people with a heart can understand.

For example, in these four notes, they all show their understanding of the emperor's hard work, the urgency of hoping for the heavy rain in Gansu, and the praise of the queen mother's benevolence. Although the wording is different, they all express their sincerity and sincerity.

But only Xu Si has such a sentence: "The queen's etiquette is modest, and reading the sages widely can really stabilize the foundation of the family and the country." ”
