Chapter 30: Memories of Killing (17)
A secluded palace is clearly luxurious and atmospheric, and it can't even find a maid at the moment, quietly, even if it's a cold palace, it can't compare to its quietness at the moment.
"Hmm......" A small moan faintly came, with a seductive charm, the tent curtain Manman, the shadow is full, there is a slender and graceful figure, and the small squeamish gasps and moans coming out of her mouth are particularly lovely, and people can't help but wonder what kind of stunner is waiting to be released......
After a long time, she finally stopped the blood-pumping voice, lazy but charming, slender jade pointed at the man's collarbone, "The alliance leader is so brave today......"
The man's good-looking eyebrows raised, "Really?" So before I was too gentle with you? ”
The woman snorted and laughed, "Nonsense~ People clearly don't mean that." ”
"Oh, then," the man laughed, leaning close to her ear, and asked as if bewitching, "which is more courageous, the master or the stinky boy?" Well? ”
The woman laughed and said coquettishly, "Naturally, the alliance leader is better." ”
After a pause, her soft arms climbed up to Liu Shen's neck, and muttered aggrievedly, "But Ah Shen, the kid I finally found is now gone, but how can it be good...... You have to get justice for me. ”
Liu Shen sneered, "One man and two men can't satisfy you, and now you still want to make trouble?" ”
Qin Yuqin said coquettishly, "People finally found a kid, but before they had enough fun, they were beaten to death by Na Zhaoran, and they were really unwilling." ”
"Princess Zhaoran...... It's a rare beauty," Liu Shen stroked his chin and laughed at the insidious indeity that didn't match his handsome face, "I don't know how to play......"
Qin Yuqin snorted, "It's just a girl who treats people with sex, and the person who hurts me naturally has to stand up to playing." She hooked Liu Shen's hair with her bare hands, "Do you want to clean her up?" ”
"Niangniang's orders, of course the grass people must obey," after that, Liu Shen kissed her neck a little more, and said, "After saying so much, Niangniang should have rested enough, right?" ”
The red curtain is warm, and the spring night is warm......
——————
Yu Xinling's temperament has always been stubborn, and the queen couldn't beat her in the end, so she had to let her go.
Next.
The person in charge of guarding the mausoleum first escorted the queen mother's phoenix body to Anguo Temple, and the others waited for it to go to worship the Buddha after that, which is the rule of Anguo Temple, although the reason is unknown, but no one refutes it.
A group of people set off to Anguo Temple in such a mighty way, on the way the people stood on both sides, and their arms were consciously tied with white cloth belts, seeing the queen mother's phoenix body coming, kneeling and shouting "Congratulations to the queen mother".
If the Queen Mother had not passed away, the scene in front of her might have made her teary-eyed. The first emperor died early, from supporting the young Emperor Sheng to ascend the throne, to implementing the government in spite of the opposition of hundreds of officials, to painstakingly changing the national law, and even lowering taxes...... No one knows what kind of resistance and danger the Queen Mother risked to achieve this grand ambition as a woman. She never thought about the throne of the Ninety-Five, but she did the great things that the Ninety-Five Honorable should do, and also won the hearts of the people for herself; She never complained about the cynicism of the civil and military officials in the past, nor did she feel sorry for herself, she was like a pillar, for her stepson, Emperor Ruan Cuo, she paved the whole world for him, helped him sit on the throne, after everything was arranged, she stopped in time, stood by, and watched her and the emperor's favorite child dominate the world.
She handed over the world to Ruan Cuo, handed over the phoenix seal of the harem to the queen, left nothing for herself, and returned to the deep palace alone, often accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, and took her children and grandchildren when she was free, and occasionally raised flowers and grasses, and only did not ask about the political affairs of the previous dynasty......
Yu Xinling walked by the coffin, her face covered by a heavy veil, and others could only glimpse some of her emotions from her walking steps.
I don't know how long I walked, but the crowd began to commotion, and the rumors that were suppressed by the queen a while ago resurfaced:
"Hey, the girl who walked beside the Queen Mother's coffin and wore a hat is not Princess Zhaoran?"
"That's not it, she looks like she's the youngest in the team, who can she be?"
"I heard that she killed the Queen Mother......
"It's fake, this Princess Zhaoran is the youngest daughter of the National Teacher, how can it be?"
"Who knows?"
"Hey, I heard, she won't even bow her head to her peers, isn't that too rude?"
"People are princesses, and there is no need to salute with His Majesty's permission, and it is good to be willing to greet your peers, and ask other princesses to nod and salute you? Don't you think too much of yourself? ”
"That is, even if the emperor has never received a gift from her, but he is just the son of an official eunuch of her generation, what qualifications does he have for her full gift? It's all good to say hello to you. ”
……
Yu Xinling's little face hidden behind the veil was a little smiling, it turned out that she was not so unbearable in the eyes of the people, at least, their words were not as unbearable as in the palace, she was not arrogant, nor arrogant, she did not salute, in the eyes of some people, it was normal behavior, because she was a high-ranking princess, even if she was not of royal blood, but she was also a descendant of the national teacher, and this identity alone was enough for her to walk sideways in Luanyang......
Finally arrived at Anguo Temple, Yu Xinling looked at the layout of the hall on the side, until the sister-in-law arranged the coffin of the Queen Mother on the right side of the Buddha statue and placed it, she slowly moved a stool and walked over, sat next to the Queen Mother's coffin, and looked at the Queen Mother's peaceful face quietly as she had done in the previous six days.
The sister-in-law at the head came over, bowed and saluted, "Please also ask the princess to burn incense and worship the Buddha first." ”
After a while, Yu Xinling came back to her senses, looked at her and said, "My father-in-law said that as long as I don't want to, I can disrespect the Buddha." ”
"This ......" the sister-in-law frowned, and the dissatisfaction in her eyebrows was undisguised, "Since the princess has asked to guard the tomb for the queen mother, she must be sincere." ”
"I've been keeping this coffin alone for a year, and I'm not sincere enough?"
"Worshipping the Buddha is one of the things that mortals must do on the seventh day after their death, in order to let the deceased ascend to heaven smoothly, and the princess is filial, why not worship the Buddha for the Queen Mother?"
"Ascension?" Yu Xinling muttered a little, and said, "Later, the stepmother will come to worship the Buddha for grandma, and it doesn't matter if I worship the Buddha or not." ”
"Why are you so unconscionable, kid?" The sister-in-law was obviously anxious, and she began to get angry at this time, "It's just to worship the Buddha for your grandmother, so you refuse slowly." Worshipping the Buddha for the deceased is a matter that every mausoleum keeper must do, and you must finish worshipping the Buddha today. ”
"The purpose of worshipping the Buddha is just to let the deceased rest in peace and the soul can ascend to heaven, since the relatives can do it, it is enough to have a few representatives."
"You ......"
"Could it be that if all the grandchildren and grandchildren of the imperial grandmother can't come to worship the Buddha, the imperial grandmother can't be reincarnated?"
"You're unreasonable, you're ...... You ......"
The sister-in-law was very angry, pointing at Yu Xinling and couldn't say anything, in her opinion, the person who guards the tomb must worship the Buddha in order to be regarded as the real one who comes to guard the tomb, and now Yu Xinling refuses to worship the Buddha, which makes her so angry.
"What's wrong with Aunt Xu? Our princess Zhaoran has a stubborn temper and has caused you trouble. There was a soft and boneless voice outside the door, and the person who came was An Jieyu and Qin Yuqin.
"Mother is well," the girl-in-law who was called Sister Xu turned around and saluted.
"Sister Xu is polite," Qin Yuqin walked over, pulled Yu Xinling with a smile, and said to her, "The princess is messing around again?" But you must be obedient, Sister Queen, they estimate that it will take another hour before they can come here to worship the Buddha. ”
Yu Xinling looked at Qin Yuqin holding her hand without a trace, and thought that she hadn't become familiar with An Jieyu to such a point, but she didn't resist in her hand, but only replied, "Niangniang didn't ask the reason, how can I be sure that I must be messing around?" ”
Qin Yuqin sneered, "The princess is really cute, this sister-in-law Xu is angry and blushing and said that you are not messing around?" After that, he pulled Yu Xinling to the cushion, "Come, little princess, the concubine will accompany you to worship the Buddha for the Queen Mother." ”
Yu Xinling shook off her hand, "I don't worship the Buddha, you have to worship the Buddha yourself." ”
Qin Yuqin stiffened, looked at Yu Xinling's eyes flashed with displeasure and ruthlessness, and then smiled, "Your Royal Highness is really stubborn, but the mausoleum keeper must worship the Buddha, it has always been the rule, you, don't make it difficult for your sister-in-law Xu." ”
Yu Xinling frowned and thought about it, and after a long time, she raised her eyes, "Then I won't guard the mausoleum, I just need to accompany my grandmother on the side." ”
Xu Guzi only felt that she was almost out of breath when she couldn't get up or down, "You...... Why can't you worship the Queen Mother? If you want to guard the mausoleum, why don't you have any sincerity at all? ”
Yu Xinling seemed to be aggrieved, "I'...... I have a sincere ......," she murmured, "I ...... I can't salute...... Ahh
She suddenly had a pain in her knees, and knelt down to the soft cushion, Aunt Xu was stunned for a moment, and sneered, "Princess, which play is this singing?" Isn't this just kneeling......"
Before the words were finished, only the thunder was heard, the Buddha statue in the hall shook a few times, and it was broken into pieces in an instant, Yu Xinling quickly stood up, ran to the coffin that had been placed on the right platform, and carefully took out the handkerchief to remove the fragments of the Buddha statue on the body of the queen mother's phoenix, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, the Buddha statue did not explode when it collapsed, otherwise grandma's coffin would not be guaranteed......
Sister Xu still stood there dumbly, she seemed to want to say something, trembling for a long time but didn't say a word, the other sisters-in-law had stepped aside, still in a trance about everything that happened in front of her, no one was easy to speak, and she didn't even dare to come out, she only secretly glanced at the eleven-year-old girl by the coffin with a ghostly expression, and then turned her head away like a bad look, and no one was surprised by the glory of Princess Zhaoran......
Qin Yuqin was also stunned for a while, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say, it turned out that this was the real reason why Princess Zhaoran never saluted? The corners of her mouth hooked up an imperceptible arc: Very good, very good, I want to see what comes next, how will you face it......
