Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Strange Woman

After dealing with the matter of picking up the star tower, Qin Mingyue was about to return to the mansion of the Duke of Liguo, when she was suddenly invited by her master Shen Guoshi and told her that it was time to go to the palace to send auspicious longevity charms to the queen mother. This matter was sent by Shen Guoshi or Shen Guoshi's two apprentices in previous years. However, there is something going on with Shen Guoshi today, and the two big apprentices are not in the capital, so they can only let Qin Mingyue go out.

Qin Mingyue received this task, and after looking at the auspicious longevity talisman that Shen Guoshi had made early in the morning, she did not hesitate. This thing is very simple, and it is also something that the national teacher often does. There are four great boshi in the palace, the emperor, the queen mother, the empress, and the crown prince, all of whom need to be made by the national teacher himself. This talisman was also sent by the national teacher or the disciple of the national teacher himself.

The ordinary concubines, the talismans of the prince and princess, are only made by the Taoist priests in the Star Picking Tower, and they do not dare to work as a national teacher.

In Qin Mingyue's previous life, she had to make it by herself every year and send it to the palace. Because Qin Mingyue adhered to the tradition of the national teacher, she never made it for the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Su, which provoked Concubine Su and the emperor to have a lot of opinions about her. Qin Mingyue was arrogant, so she naturally fought to the end. This is also one of the irreconcilable contradictions between Qin Mingyue and Concubine Su.

For the palace, Qin Mingyue had no fear. In her previous life, because Qin Mingyue was a national teacher, and she was a rare female national teacher among the rare national teachers, she could enter and leave the palace freely, and the palace was frequent.

However, after being reborn, Qin Mingyue has not yet entered the palace.

At this moment, after receiving the task, he didn't have any other thoughts, and the next day, he changed into a solemn black curly sacrificial dress and took the person into the palace.

The palace was still the same as Qin Mingyue remembered, but Qin Mingyue always felt that the palace in front of her was a little strange. After taking a closer look, I found that there was a little mottled appearance on the palace wall around me, and then I remembered. Today's emperor is not the faint monarch of his previous life. Today's emperor is the father of Xiao Xi, Emperor Changping.

Emperor Changping and Emperor Xiao Xi are different. Emperor Changping is eloquent and strategic, attaches great importance to state affairs, can be called a virtuous monarch, the Great Zhou is in the hands of Emperor Changping, prosperous, and the treasury is abundant. Emperor Changping governed the country very well, but he himself has always been very simple. At least among the emperors, it can be considered simple. He had never been much of a fan of repairing the palace. So the palace looks a little old.

In the previous life, the palace that Qin Mingyue was familiar with was full of gorgeous and wealthy, where could there be such a mottled scene?

While walking, Qin Mingyue sighed with emotion, but in a quarter of an hour, Qin Mingyue arrived in the harem Cining Palace. This is because before Qin Mingyue took it, after she apprenticed, when she entered the palace, the queen mother rewarded her with a carriage specially used to travel in the palace. If you walk on two feet, where can you get to Cining Palace in a quarter of an hour?

Entering Cining Palace, Qin Mingyue looked at this mottled palace and remembered that in her previous life, it was the current virtuous concubine Li who lived in this palace. The Empress Dowager Li loves luxury and luxury, so the Cining Palace is magnificent. Of course, at the moment, this Empress Dowager Li is just a concubine in the harem. Cining Palace now lives the mother of Emperor Changping, the old empress dowager. The old queen mother is almost seventy years old this year. The old empress dowager is also a person who advocates simplicity, so Cining Palace is not the gorgeous appearance in Qin Mingyue's memory in the previous life, it looks more mottled than the palace wall outside.

Qin Mingyue suddenly remembered that this old queen mother seemed to be dying. In my impression, it seems that she died when she did not take over the position of national teacher. Then calculate the time, it seems to be almost over. Sure enough, as soon as I approached Cining Palace, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.

The old queen mother has been bedridden for some time, sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious.

Qin Mingyue is very lucky today, the Queen Mother is in good health these days, and she is already waiting in the main hall at the moment.

Qin Mingyue saluted the old queen mother in a proper manner. An old voice came: "Mingyue, don't be polite." Is your master in retreat again? I actually sent you to deliver the talisman? It just so happens that the mourning family hasn't seen you for a while. Walk in to mourn the house to see. ”

Qin Mingyue hurriedly walked to the front and saluted the Queen Mother again, and then the Queen Mother gave her to sit on a squat. Qin Mingyue respectfully presented a rosewood clip, which was dedicated to the Queen Mother.

The female officials around the Queen Mother put it away, and the Queen Mother said: "Since this talisman became the Queen Mother, every year, the national teacher has to offer one." The National Teacher personally made it, and the effect is naturally extraordinary. The mourning family was also able to enjoy it for so many years. Now, the time limit for mourning has arrived, and no talismans are used. ”

Qin Mingyue hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is blessed and longevity, you must not say such a thing." Today, the emperor governs the world with filial piety, and treats Niangniang as filial piety and respect, Niangniang is already the most noble person in the world, and is about to continue to enjoy the admiration of the people of the world. ”

The Queen Mother smiled, her old face was full of wrinkles, and her face was black but not dissipated. This is exactly what the human life span looks like. As a professional, Qin Mingyue is naturally very clear. However, this cannot be said in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said: "Give the prepared reward to Mingyue and bring it back." Well, there is a reward for Shen Guoshi, and there is also a reward for Mingyue. Mingyue, although we haven't been together for a long time, you will be the one who will protect the Great Zhou in the future and the future national teacher. The mourning family has been thinking hard for the Great Zhou Dynasty all their lives, and now they are going to go underground to see the first emperor. The only thing that worries is the world of the Great Zhou. Therefore, the mourning family has handed over to you the responsibility of guarding the world of the Great Zhou. ”

These words made Qin Mingyue also sad. Although she has only met the Queen Mother a few times, she knows a lot about the Queen Mother. This queen mother, like the queen mother of Great Xia, is a powerful figure. When Emperor Changping was just a child, he ascended to the throne and could not be pro-government. All state affairs are handled by the national teacher and the queen mother together. The Queen Mother is very virtuous and takes care of Da Zhou very well. It laid a solid foundation for the later Changping Emperor to display his ambitions. However, the ministers were afraid that when Emperor Changping grew up, the Empress Dowager would not return to power. However, what the ministers didn't expect was that when Emperor Changping married the queen, the queen mother not only returned to power immediately, but even handed over the affairs of the harem to the queen and began to live a casual life as the queen mother. This makes the world admire it even more. The Queen Mother is a strange woman.

Now, such a strange woman has also come to the end of her life. She is about to die, and she can't rest assured that it is still this big Zhou world. This protection made Qin Mingyue, who had guarded the Great Zhou for more than ten years in his previous life, feel extremely precious and sad.

Qin Mingyue hurriedly stood up: "Please rest assured, Mingyue will definitely do her best to maintain the world of the Great Zhou, and she will die." "In the previous life, Qin Mingyue gave her life for the world of the Great Zhou, and in this life, this belief has not changed.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied, and a chrysanthemum bloomed on her old face.
