Chapter 117: Waiting for the Opportunity (1st Update)
"......" After saying these words, Chu Yuan and Xiao Chengmo were silent for a while, and suddenly Chu Yuan spoke a little speechlessly, "Zi Che, although what you said is very exciting, I have even more awe of you after listening to it." But isn't the original purpose of this conversation going farther? ”
Chu Yuan was a little depressed, he didn't expect that the two of them could talk about business and have such a time to go off topic. Of course, he was very interested in the above conversation!
"No, not far! Chu Yuan, do you know that in fact, King Qing is the same as me, he is the kind of person who is wise and foolish, if he hands over the next kingdom to him, he may not be worse than me. At that time, I was able to sit on the throne, he was indispensable, although I didn't think about giving up the throne, but as long as the Qing King wanted to, I would not fight with him. But do you know what the Green King said to me? ”
"What did you say?" Chu Yuan questioned, his expression became serious, he felt that what Xiao Chengmo said would soon be close to the topic, and it would allow him to identify some things.
"King Qing said, 'We have done so much, just to seek peace in our lives, and if anyone else succeeds to the throne, our lives are in danger, but if it is you, brother, I can rest assured, I know that you are the one who can really promise me glory and wealth in my life, and keep me safe and worry-free in my life! Just sit on this throne! Xiao Chengmo was very moved, and now when he talks about it, his heart is still full of emotion, which is why he can still be so close to Qingwang now.
"Qingwang, he trusts me, he has clearly seen so many brothers killing each other, he can still believe in me like this, and he is willing to give his life to me. You say, how can I let him down like this? Xiao Chengmo said perseverance, in his heart, the country of the next country belongs to the two of them, as long as he is there, he will never let Qingwang suffer a little grievance.
"Ziche, I can understand what you say, but this doesn't mean that Prince An can do the same! You and King Qing's mother, the relationship is closer, but the former emperor and Prince An are not. As far as I know, the relationship between the former emperor and Prince An was not close, and it was a bit bad. You say, why would Prince An give up his military power in this way, and go to that place in the desert so wronged, promising to stay away from the imperial city where he grew up for the rest of his life? Chu Yuan couldn't figure it out, such a thing was unacceptable to him, what did Prince An think at that time.
"The most important thing is what the emperor said to Prince An the night before! Chu Yuan, if you have to know the answer, it's not that you can't, after all, Prince An is right in front of you now. However, this matter is not urgent, you have to wait slowly and wait for the time to come! ”
Xiao Chengmo had some guesses in his heart, and he knew that Chu Yuan also had guesses in his heart, but how close their guesses were to the truth, they didn't know.
"Yes, that's it, don't talk about that!" Chu Yuan sighed and waved his hand at Xiao Chengmo, after such a conversation, he didn't have a clear feeling, but felt that his mood was even heavier. However, there has really been a slight change in his attitude towards Prince An, and now he has a mood of exploring the secrets that have been hidden from Prince An's body.
……
The next morning, before dawn, Chu Yuan had already packed up and gotten up, Xiao Chengmo was confused, saw that Chu Yuan had already packed up, grabbed the quilt and sat up, looked at him and asked, "Are you going out so early?" ”
Xiao Chengmo asked as he moved, and was about to get up with his clothes on, but Chu Yuan came over and held his palm, "You are not in a hurry, sleep more, when you wake up and have breakfast, someone will lead you to the residence outside the palace." I'm going to the Imperial Temple now, and when I have time later, I'll go see you! ”
"That's good! I don't care, the matter of the Imperial Temple is important, you don't have to worry about me, go and get busy with you! Xiao Chengmo heard Chu Yuan say this, but nodded obediently, Chu Yuan saw that his sleepy eyes were still a little worried, and he leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips with pity.
"You have a good rest, I'm leaving!" Smiling softly at Xiao Chengmo, holding his shoulders and letting him lie down, and thoughtfully tucking the quilt for him, Chu Yuan straightened up, glanced at Xiao Chengmo deeply, turned his head and raised his feet, and strode away.
Chu Yuan just went out of the palace, and saw that the queen was already waiting outside the palace, today's queen was dressed in purple and gold formal clothes, with a ruyi flowing cloud pattern on the gold and silver threads under the robe, a golden phoenix hairpin was obliquely inserted in her simple and generous hair, and she wore gemstone rings and gold carved finger covers on both hands, pinched a Ruyi embroidered handkerchief, and stepped on the dark purple auspicious clouds and phoenix shoes.
At this time, the queen's face was indifferent, and the whole person stood there, and that dignified and serious posture appeared, showing the noble and graceful demeanor that the head of the harem should have.
"Queen!" Chu Yuan walked out of the hall gate, watching the queen call softly, Zuo Xiyun heard Chu Yuan's voice and raised his head, with a faint smile on his solemn face.
"I've seen the emperor! Your Majesty, are you ready? Zuo Xiyun asked softly, she attaches great importance to going to the Imperial Temple today, as the head of the harem, only she can be qualified to step into the Imperial Temple, so she does not allow her behavior to be a little worse.
"Let's go!" Chu Yuan responded, and took the lead in walking forward to get on the dragon chariot, the queen blessed him slightly, and was also supported by the maid, and got into the jade chariot behind, and the team walked slowly, heading towards the palace gate.
In less than half an hour, Chu Yuan and the others had already arrived at the palace gate on the east side, where all the ministers and members of the royal family, of course, including Prince An, were all waiting here. Here, Chu Yuan's dragon chariot did not stop, but walked directly towards the Imperial Temple, and the people waiting at the gate of the palace followed the honor guard of the emperor and queen to the imperial temple together.
At the gate of the Imperial Temple, Chu Yuan and Zuo Xiyun got off the sedan chair, and the expressions on everyone's faces were dignified and dignified at this time. Chu Yuan walked in the forefront, and the moment he stepped into the temple gate, the expression on his face was calm, with a trace of silent sadness.
Imperial Temple, this is a solemn place, the atmosphere inside is even more condensed and solemn, there is a big tripod in the center of the courtyard, Chu Yuan walked over, took three incense, lit it on the candle on the side, bowed his body seriously, and inserted the three incense sticks into the tripod neatly.
Then, Chu Yuan walked forward, walked into the main hall, and bowed on his knees above the central hall, while the queen and the others put incense in front of Fang Cai's tripod in turn. After worshipping this hall, he was guided by someone to complete a number of procedures, and finally in the morning light, at the dawn, he came to the middle hall, which is the place where the tablets of the emperors of the past dynasties are enshrined.
For the time being, one more, two more may be late, please bear with me!
