11. Father's enmity and son's reparation
"Wei'er, Liang Rui has been here. He's coming to see you, right? Yun Niyi smiled mysteriously. Oh, yes! He just rubbed me with a potion. Ning Qiwei didn't notice Yun Niyi's smile.
"If you have an injury, don't look for a doctor, what kind of medicine does he send. Mo is not a medicine sent to cure heart disease. Yun Niyi smiled "hehe". "Queen Mother, what nonsense are you talking about." Ning Qiwei couldn't cry or laugh: This Liang Rui has nothing to offer. Now she jumped into the Miluo River and couldn't wash it.
"Brother Rui must like my brother. Hehe! "Reputation mortals are small and big." What nonsense are you talking about? Honorable. When Ning Qiwei heard this, she was about to collapse: daring to love this ancient child was also terrifyingly precocious. Yun Niyi laughed happily.
At the end, Yun Niyi came to Yufan, and she asked Ning Qiwei: "Wei'er, the queen mother has something she wants to discuss with you." Ning Qiwei smiled and said, "Queen Mother, what's the matter?" ”
Yun Niyi said with a sad expression: "Your father has been up for ten years, and the imperial doctor who guarded him at noon today said that your father has died. "What do you say, Queen Mother? Queen mother. "Ning Qiwei is like encountering a thunderbolt from the blue.
Yun Niyi held Ning Qiwei's shoulders and encouraged her: "Your father has stayed for ten more years just to wait for you to grow up and take the lead, and he will leave with confidence." Wei'er, you are the hope of this country, you must hold on! ”
Ning Qiwei experienced the inseparable flesh and blood affection for the first time, and she had already burst into tears: "Queen Mother, don't worry." I can stand it. Ning Qiwei forced herself to stop crying, and she comforted Yun Niyi: "Queen Mother, rest early." We've got to hold on. ”
Ning Qiwei sent Yun Niyi away, and she couldn't sleep. Ning Qiwei was dressed neatly and went to the Xuan Tea Pavilion of Mingde Palace alone to drink tea. Ning Qiwei looked at Ning Fuguo who was sinking in the snow, and she felt tiredness that she had never felt before.
The snow is heavy, and the world is white. The inside and outside of the Imperial City of Ningfu were immersed in grief. The gray sky seemed to be about to come down, and the wind swept the snowflakes whirling, as if they were about to devour something.
Ning Xihu's coffin set off from the Yunde Hall next to the Taiwei Palace, and went all the way to the north gate of Ningfu Kingdom. Five paces on either side of the place stood a plain Forester.
Everywhere Ning bustles went. The soldiers of the Royal Guards would raise their heads, raise their weapons, and shout, "Send!" After shouting, he immediately put down his weapon and lowered his head. The shouts of the soldiers were infinitely sad against the whirring wind and snow.
Ning Qiwei supported Yun Niyi and the coffin, and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The wind whipped up snowflakes and struck Ning Qiwei fiercely. Ning Qiwei let the snow hit her face, and her body and hands tightly protected Yun Niyi.
The funeral procession marched to the gate of the palace, and the plain royal forest army that was originally lined up on both sides of the north gate of the imperial city protected the funeral procession in the middle from the left and right sides along with the formation of the funeral procession.
Out of the north gate, the funeral procession walked through a buffer zone. After passing the buffer zone, you will arrive at the North Market Street of Ningfu Country. The streets of Beishi were neatly lined with people wearing plain clothes who had come to see Ning off for him.
When Ning's coffin arrived, the people knelt down one after another, and banners with black letters on a white background were unfurled one after another. The banner reads "Congratulations to Emperor Ning".
Yun Niyi's grief for many days has made her body a little weak. After walking in the wind and snow for a long time, he was a little physically exhausted, the soles of his feet were weak, and the whole person fell to Ning Qiwei. Ning Qiwei was a little caught off guard, and the snow under her feet tripped her. Ning Qiwei was about to be taken down in the cold snow.
At this time, a warm embrace caught her in time. A gentle voice came into Ning Qiwei's ears with a warm breath: "Are you okay?" Ning Qiwei was in a trance: How good it is to stay like this!
The team behind stopped in front of Ning Qiwei and them. Ning Qiwei looked back, and the hundred officials in plain clothes were standing behind them, and the hundred officials were staring at this side. Ning Qiwei desperately broke free from that embrace.
Yun Niyi was taken back to the palace by the accompanying Caiyun. Ning Qiwei walked with the coffin, and the funeral procession continued to move forward. Ning Qiwei didn't look around, Liang Rui followed not far from him.
Ning Qiwei didn't turn his head to meet Liang Rui's gentle eyes, Liang Rui saw Ning Qiwei looking at him, he looked a little embarrassed and lowered his head.
The funeral procession walked through Beishi Street and turned a corner to the imperial tomb. Outside the gate of the imperial mausoleum, there are a pair of stone carved fire unicorns on both sides, with a fierce expression. The door frame is an ordinary rectangular stone column. Above the stone gate is also an ordinary stone pillar, but the difference is that the stone bar is painted with strange words.
The celebrant stopped the crowd and stood facing them on the second step of the Imperial Tomb. He waved a white flag with a black unicorn pattern in his hand and shouted, "Kneel!" And they all fell to their knees. The celebrant shouted, "Bye! And they bowed down to the gate. The celebrant shouted, "Get up! The crowd stood up.
Subsequently, the funeral procession entered the imperial mausoleum in turn under the guidance of the celebrant officer. The ground inside the Imperial Tomb is covered with a thin layer of snow. In a few places where there is no snow, moss-colored stone slabs are revealed. The surroundings are a little bleak.
The celebrant walked up to the mausoleum and shouted, "Please coffin!" "The official coffin was sent to the mausoleum. The celebrant shouted, "Playing music!" Immediately the mournful music rang out. The funeral was pushed to *.
At the end, the celebrant shouted: "The current emperor supports the coffin of the emperor." Ning Qiwei wiped the snow on her face and walked up the steps slowly. Ning Qiwei walked in front of the coffin, and she knelt down with her hands on the coffin.
The celebrant shouted, "Everyone kneel down to send the emperor spirit." The people standing under the mausoleum knelt down one after another. The celebrant then shouted, "Help the spirit into the ground." "The bearer of the coffin carried the coffin into the tomb. After the coffin entered the tomb, the celebrant shouted, "Seal! The stone door outside the tomb slammed shut.
The celebrant shouted, "The Emperor rises! Ning Qiwei stood up with her feet on the ground. The celebrant shouted, "Please incense!" The secretary put the incense case on the table and handed Ning Qiwei the lit incense. Ning Qiwei took the incense, bowed three times, and inserted the incense on the incense burner. The celebrant shouted, "Licheng." Then the crowd stood up.
The snow was still falling, and the flying snowflakes buried the Imperial City of Ningfu Kingdom. There is only a single white left between heaven and earth. Ning Qiwei stood on top of the tower of the imperial city, she looked into the distance with a calm expression, as if she was waiting for something.
"Your Majesty, Tianling, put on another piece of clothing." Ning Rong's sweet voice sounded behind Ning Qiwei. Ning Qiwei turned around, and she saw Ning Rong walking in front of her with an edelweiss cloak.
Ning Qiwei reached out to take the cloak on Ning Rong's hand, Ning Rong's hand shrank, and the cloak broke away from Ning Qiwei's hand. Ning Qiwei looked at Ning Rong in confusion, Ning Rong stepped forward, and she gently draped the cloak on Ning Qiwei's shoulder. Ning Qiwei wanted to tie the cloak belt, but was blocked by Ning Rong's hand. Ning Rong tightened the cape strap and tied a cute bow.
Ning Qiwei smiled: "Ning Rongzhen only now knows that you will tie such a beautiful bow." Ning Rong looked at Ning Qiwei affectionately: "If the emperor likes it, Ning Rong will tie it for you every day." Ning Qiwei felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, she wanted to get rid of it but couldn't bear it.
"Ning Rong, you are really good. But..."Ning Qiwei broke the atmosphere, but was immediately interrupted by Ning Rong. "The emperor doesn't have to give me any explanation. Ning Rong is already content to stay by your side. Ning Rong said with a smiling expression.
"It's... I" When Ning Qiwei didn't know how to explain it clearly to Ning Rong, Liang Rui appeared on the city tower in time. Liang Rui hurriedly walked to Ning Qiwei and Ning Rong's side, he saw that Ning Rong was also there, and he wanted to stop talking.
Ning Qiwei saw what Liang Rui meant, and she calmly said to Liang Rui: "Liang Rui, say it!" It does not matter! Liang Rui was a little unsure: "Are you talking about it here?" "Well, just say anything."
Liang Rui then said: "Yes, the minister followed them to an inn on Ningfu Street." They stayed inside for a long time and didn't move. Will there be an error in the tip-off? "How many people are watching the inn now?" "The whole inn is ours." "Good!" Ning Qiwei said lightly.
Liang Rui was a little uneasy and said, "The minister is worried that they have more than one place to stay. But they were never found in the city. Ning Qiwei said indifferently: "They seem to be waiting for the joint. Don't worry, the snake will eventually come out of the hole. ”
Liang Rui nodded deeply and said, "Chen understands." Pull up the net and wait for the fish to take the bait. That's good. Ning Qiwei nodded silently. Liang Rui raised the corners of his mouth and showed a good-looking smile: "The minister has an order!" Retire! ”
Wait. I'm going with you. Ning Qiwei stopped Liang Rui and said. No way. Emperor. It's dangerous! Liang Rui and Ning Rong's voices sounded at the same time. Ning Qiwei looked at them in surprise, Ning Rong lowered her head in embarrassment, and Liang Rui looked at her uneasily. Ning Qiwei smiled and said, "You still treat me as a three-year-old child. ”
Liang Rui said softly: "Your Majesty, those are murderous people, they will do anything to achieve their goals, and the ministers can't let the emperor take risks." "I've made up my mind. Needless to say. Ning Qiwei said firmly. Your Majesty..."Liang Rui wanted to persuade Ning Qiwei but was blocked back. "It's okay if you don't agree. I've sent someone else to deal with this, and you stay here. Ning Qiwei said impatiently. Liang Rui was silent, and Ning Qiwei smiled.
The snow stopped, and the sky was still gray. In such a cold weather, Ningfu Street is still full of people. Many vendors set up their stalls in front of the shops that are not open, selling noodle soups, dumplings, and baked cakes,... Oh, the pancakes! Ning Qiwei can only stare at the big pancakes on TV in modern times, but she finally sees it today. Hehe! Fragrant! It smells so good!
Ning Qiwei paced to the baked cake stall, reached out and grabbed a stack, and said loudly to Liang Rui beside her: "Liang Rui, pay!" ”
"Sugar gourd! Sweet and sour! "Hehe, sugar gourd. "Boss, come three strings." "Liang Rui pays." Before Liang Rui could react, Ning Qiwei had already moved to the lantern shop. Wow, it's a heavenly creation. Duck lamp, mural lamp,... There is also a lantern group based on a legendary story. "Boss, I want all these lanterns." Ning Qiwei baked the cake with her left hand, the sugar gourd with her right hand, the sugar gourd on the right in her mouth, and the baked cake on the left, she worked hard to squeeze out a sentence: "Liang Rui, pay." Remove all the lanterns. ”
