Chapter 229: The County Lord
Sixteen horses without variegation horses are the guards of the Xinyang Palace, each of them has served in the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, with a bit of bloodthirsty momentum, they are like stars holding the moon around the Xinyang Palace, the carriage of the Xinyang Palace is parked at the gate of the Xinyang Palace, they move uniformly and dismount, from the open gate of the palace, it can be seen that almost all the palace servants are kneeling to welcome the county lord back to the palace.
The Xinyang Palace, which has been in the center of the storm, has made such a big move, and it has been very high-profile since entering Yanjing City, there are many people who are guarding in front of the palace to watch the hot lots, and there are secret agents of all forces hidden among the people, all of whom want to know which county lord is sitting in the carriage, remembering that the county lord from Xinyang Mansion died in the northern Xinjiang, if it is not the bloodline of Xinyang Palace, how can he make such a high-standard welcome ceremony Wearing a dark robe and wearing a golden crown Qi Chapter 229 The county lord Heng led Qi Huan out of the palace and came to the carriage in person, Bow and salute: "Greetings to my aunt." ”
The well-trained mother stepped forward and helped down a woman wearing a felt hat and a long tulle hanging down to her chest from the carriage, Qi Heng held her arm and said with a smile: "My aunt has finally returned to the palace, and my father can find comfort in the spirit of heaven." "Hmm."
The woman was wearing a plain jacket and a plain pleated Luo skirt, supported by Qi Heng, step by step into the Xinyang Palace, the sound of welcoming the county lord back to the palace was in her ears, and when the woman walked over, the servants slowly got up and returned to their respective posts, the carriage entered the palace from the corner gate, and the gate of the Xinyang Palace slowly closed, unless the emperor came in person, the gate of the palace would not be easily opened.
Although the King of Xinyang is the head of the nobles and has a pivotal position in Great Qin, the Xinyang Palace has always been very low-key, and only a very small number of people can enter the Xinyang Palace. There is a folk proverb that the palace is easy to enter, but the palace is difficult to enter.
The palace in the words refers to the Xinyang Palace, it's not that no one comes to the door to ask for help, but the Xinyang Mansion doesn't pay attention to anyone, and the palace has held several banquets recently... It is already an unprecedented thing, since the assassination of the Great Buddha Temple of Concubine Mu half a year ago, the palace has never posted to anyone, and the Xinyang Royal Mansion has restored the former Chapter 229 The county lord is quiet.
"Which county lord is it? Can His Royal Highness King Xinyang call her aunt? ”
"That's right... I haven't heard that there is still a county lord in Xinyang Palace.
Similar to Xinyang Wangfu, every family member will be widely known, they have never heard of such a county lord in the palace, no matter what, with this county lord back to the house, the princess of Xinyang will definitely introduce the county lord to the magnates of the capital, and they will know it at that time.
"I don't know how the county lord looks? Have you ever promised to marry someone? ”
"You are a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and you don't follow your virtue... Can the lord of the palace take a fancy to you? ”
"Even if the county lord is as ugly as a yaksha, there are still people who go up to the pole to marry her, but she is the county lord of Xinyang Palace."
Qi Heng pointed out the building of the palace to the woman beside him along the way, "Auntie, that is the Moon Shadow Pavilion, behind it is Haoyue Lake, on the left side of the Yin'an Palace is Wenhua Pavilion, and on the other side is Shangwu Tower." ”
"I originally wanted my aunt to ride in a soft sedan chair... But my grandmother said to let you see the palace first, and if you were tired, tell your nephew... The soft sedan followed. ”
Qi Heng was very attentive to the woman, Qi Huan listened with a smile next to him, the flesh and blood were reunited, he was also happy, his handsome face became more and more dusty, the woman did not follow Qi Heng's guidance to look around, hung her head slightly, and walked in the rich and noble Xinyang Palace, her palms were sweaty, she was nervous... She was afraid that if it weren't for someone who wanted to see her so much, she wouldn't have returned to the capital at all.
"Auntie, don't worry, we've got you covered." Qi Huan smiled warmly, and the woman glanced at him... pulled the corners of his mouth, "Her Royal Highness the Concubine ̈no, yes ̈"
"Grandmother is very kind and will cherish her aunt very much, grandmother said that men need to be trained, and daughters can be pampered."
Qi Heng can better understand the hesitation of a woman than Qi Heng, Qi Heng has been the master of Xinyang Mansion since the moment he was born, he has always been high, the stars hold the moon, although he also loves his younger siblings, but Qi Huan knows that he is not a careful person.
Qi Heng can be so enthusiastic today, Qi Huan is very surprised, is it because of his father's dying request, or because of that young lady? Qi Huan smiled on her lips, she was different from others, since she saw her in the Royal Bookstore, Qi Huan had never forgotten her.
"Where is she?" The woman's voice trembled a little, as she went deeper and deeper into the palace, the woman became more and more nervous, she had received some etiquette training, but she was going to face the princess of Xinyang, she was embarrassed, would the concubine like it?
"In the ancestral hall behind the palace, when my aunt returns to the palace, she should first worship the ancestors of the Qi family."
After listening to Qi Huan's words, Qi Heng suddenly realized and comforted: "Grandmother will hurt very much, auntie." The nephew assures the grandmother that she will not treat you badly. ”
Passing through the verandah, a group of people came to the ancestral hall built in the northeast direction of the palace, the direct blood of the king of Xinyang has always been thin, the first generation of the king of Xinyang is an ominous orphan of his parents, with the emperor Taizu conquering the world, he made great achievements, and then married Mrs. Anguo as the princess, he also visited his parents and relatives all over the world, but most of the people who came to the door were liars, and there were not many relatives who attached to the Xinyang palace, most of them were women and children who died in the war and no one supported them.
At the entrance of the ancestral hall, Concubine Mu straightened up, her ordinary rosin-colored robe, her hair in a neat bun, revealing majesty, revealing a point of anxiety, a point of expectation, and more guilt in her eyes, not Ding Rou's sharp words in the Big Buddha Temple, she just wanted to see her, never thought of taking her back to the palace, she couldn't accept the fact that her daughter was a concubine.
'If my daughter dies, I will never let the wild girl who doesn't know where she came from enjoy all of her. , Concubine Mu turned the Buddha beads faster, and Li Si, who was standing slim next to her, said with a little anxiety: "Why haven't you arrived yet?" Didn't you say that you entered the palace? The county lord is not in good health, which is really worrying. ”
Concubine Mu didn't look straight ahead like before, and saw the figure in the corridor, "Here, she's back." ”
Li Si took a step back and lowered his head, with the county lord, Concubine Mu would not be able to leave her, she was no longer the most noble woman in the palace except for Her Royal Highness the Concubine, Li Si bit her lip and muttered: "Her Royal Highness the Concubine ̈ I ......"
Concubine Mu ignored Li Si, took a few steps forward, and stopped, she had never hesitated as much as she did today.
The woman stopped in front of her, the two looked at each other through the tulle, the woman put her hand on her waist, squatted down and saluted: "Her Royal Highness the Concubine ̈"
Concubine Mu's arm trembled slightly, and she put the Buddha bead on her wrist again... After a moment of calmness, he removed the felt hat on the woman's head, took her arm, and helped her up... Tough, her eyes were a little moist, "It's that I can't stand you." ”
"Her Royal Highness the Concubine ̈"
"Bait me mother, okay?"
The woman said glutinously: "Mother." ”
"Well, well, the concubine wiped the corners of her eyes, "The Qi family is reunited, and your father can rest assured." ”
Concubine Mu led the woman into the ancestral hall of the Qi family, Qi Heng... Qi Huan followed behind them, Li Si took two steps forward and stopped at the door of the ancestral hall, she used to follow up in the name of serving the concubine, but now she has a place for her.
There were also two or three women in their early thirties guarding outside the ancestral hall, they stood silently in front of the ancestral hall with their heads down, someone glanced at Li Si, and snorted coldly... Li Si's face was red and white for a while, and her body shook, Concubine Mu liked her again... didn't ask her to be the county lord, her surname is Li, not Qi, but doesn't everyone say that she is the reincarnation of the princess?
In the past, Concubine Li Side cherished, she called herself a slave, since she knew that the lord of Anyang was about to return to Xinyang Palace, she no longer called herself a slave, before Concubine Mu always said that she was not a slave, and would teach her not to be presumptuous, Xinyang Palace, her home... But now whether she has changed her words, Concubine Mu will no longer care about her, it is enough for her to have the county lord of Anyang, even if the county lord of Anyang is not her biological flesh and blood, but her surname is Qi, and she is the daughter of the king of Xinyang... That's enough.
Lord Anyang, why did you go back to Beijing, didn't you refuse to forgive Concubine Mu? Why do you want to come back? Is it bad to worship Buddha on the mountain?
The county lord of Anyang knelt in front of the ancestral spirit card of the Qi family, and bowed three times and bowed nine times, Qi Heng and Qi Huan knelt behind her, Concubine Mu lit the incense, and the rising cigarette blocked the moisture in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "The county lord of Anyang Qi Shang gave incense to your father." ”
"Yes.
The county lord of Anyang got up, took the incense from the hand of Concubine Mu, stepped to the edge of the incense burner, put the three incense sticks in front of his forehead and stopped for a while, inserted on the incense burner, the cigarette smoke soared, and floated up above the ancestral hall, as if telling the ancestors of the Qi family that Qi Shang returned to the Qi family.
Out of the ancestral hall, Concubine Mu looked at the county lord of Anyang who was a little cramped and uneasy, she had no experience in raising a daughter, and Li Si, the only one who let her raise her as a daughter, was raised crooked by her again, and was trained by Ding Rou, Concubine Mu had no self-confidence, seeing that she was afraid of her, Concubine Mu said as softly as possible: "You have worked hard all the way, rest for a day first, and then follow me into the palace tomorrow to meet the emperor and the queen." The county lord of Anyang asked softly, "I'm afraid of causing you trouble." ”
Concubine Mu raised the jaw of the county lord of Anyang with her hand and asked her to look at her, "Anyang, you are the county lord of Xinyang Palace, don't be afraid, the emperor and queen will not embarrass you, and you don't need to bow your head to others." ”
An Yang smiled softly, Concubine Mu's heart was sour, Liu Liu, my daughter doesn't need to grovel to anyone, "I will arrange you in the Moon Rock Pavilion, go and rest." ”
"Thank you, Mother."
Anyang is blessed, Li Si stepped forward with a smile, "I'll send Aunt Anyang to Yueyan Pavilion?" ”
Concubine Mu said, "Mother Zhou." ”
"Master, the old slave is here."
"You take Anyang to Yueyan Pavilion, she has been living in seclusion, and her maidservant mother is sober."
"Don't worry, master, the old slave will do it properly."
Concubine Mu watched Zhou's mother help Anyang to leave, she didn't need Li Si's support, she walked back to her courtyard, and when only Qi Heng was left in the house, he asked, "Why didn't grandmother tell my aunt the truth?" ”
"Ding Rou said that I am not worthy of being a mother, she is too sensible, I am afraid that she will not be able to think about it for a while, so she really went. Heng'er, when Liu Liu disappeared, the county lord of Anyang lived in seclusion, just for today, I thought I would never see her again in my life, but now she can be by my side, I am already content, the princess died in the northern Xinjiang, the Liu family died in the Big Buddha Temple, the living is the county lord of Anyang, she was originally the bloodline of the Qi family, how can I bear to let her be a righteous daughter? ”!!!
