Chapter Eighty-Eight: It's Hard to Realize Your Dreams

"Brother Ming!"

Yin Zhiming couldn't stop carrying a bucket and a wooden scoop in his hand, watering the flowers and plants in the yard in the yard. Seeing Yin Tianxin, he threw the water scoop into the wooden bucket and clapped his hands.

At noon, His Royal Highness the Prince of Huinan was led by Hou Xiong and came to the palace of Bianyun City.

The control of the royal family of Chengguo is not like that of other empires, and can only let the emperor live, as long as it is a member of the royal family, it can be arranged in the palace, and Chengguo, who only understands etiquette, actually has such a blessed treatment for royal family members.

Yin Zhiming was arranged in a place called Yuming Courtyard in the palace, which happened to be next to Yin Tianxin's Yi Nan Garden, and I don't know if the father-in-law in the palace deliberately prepared it for people, or Yin Tianxin sent someone over to inform him first.

Throughout the afternoon, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prince, who was in a good mood, stayed in the Yuming Courtyard to water the flowers and sweep the courtyard, without the slightest consciousness of being the master.

It wasn't until Yin Tianxin came over that Yin Zhiming put down the utensils in his hand.

"Brother Ming, why are you doing these dirty jobs again, just let the subordinates do it."

"It's not like you don't know."

Yin Tianxin smiled lightly, summoned his evil slaves, and asked them to take over the utensils next to Yin Zhiming, "Brother Ming and I will go to my courtyard to sit?" ”

"Then thank you Tianxin Shizi."

Yin Tianxin and Yin Zhiming talked about the bits and pieces of his four-year return to Beijing, first returning to Beijing to mourn the emperor.

As a rule, after the death of the emperor, he was called "Emperor Daxing" before he was buried. On the day of death, a "small burial" should be carried out, and the new emperor, princes, princes, princesses, hundred officials, and women above will be killed, and the men will take off the crown and cut their braids, and the women will go to the makeup and cut their hair. After the small funeral, the day or a few days later for the "big funeral" funeral, the prince below, the three officials above, to the Changming Palace to pay homage to the emperor's remains, the princes and princesses of the near branch to the Changming Palace Dan Majesty, with the heir of the emperor to perform the "big funeral ceremony".

On the first three days, at the three hours of the morning, the sun, and the middle of the day, the new emperor will go to the spirit to hold tea, serve food, and lay wine and salute. The civil and military alternate officials, jinshi, tribute, officials, monks and other officials in Beijing wore plain clothes and gathered on the main street of the capital in the morning and evening to salute and mourn for three days.

During the emperor's funeral, the close branch clan was not allowed to marry within 27 months, and the distant branch clan and the princes and ministers in Beijing were not allowed to marry within one year; No feasts are allowed for 27 months. In Beijing, the military and the people, men go to the crown, women go to jewelry, wear plain clothes for 27 days, no sacrifices, no marriage within 100 days, all the temples around the capital, all hit the bell 30,000 times. The recitals of the chapters of the ministries and institutes were suspended for 15 days, and the recitals and documents within 27 days were to be sealed in blue, and the approved copies of the edicts within 100 days were also to be approved in blue.

"Brother Ming, do you remember why I went to Guinan?"

Yin Zhiming nodded and replied, "En"

"I remember when I was in Huinan Palace, my courtyard was called Xin Jieju, or did the princess let me live there, now that I think about it, it really seems that the princess did it on purpose."

"Don't be cranky."

Yin Tianxin pointed to the courtyard where he lived in front of him, Yi Nan Garden.

"The heart is knotted in the south of Gui, and it is difficult for the heart to come true with another dream."

Yin Zhiming pretended not to understand what Yin Tianxin said, and asked, "Tianxin, what happened to you after that?" ”

When Yin Tianxin came to Guinan, the emperor wanted to marry her to Guinan, firstly, to get rid of his original drunken nonsense, and secondly, to strengthen the connection with Guinan.

The hereditary throne of King Huinan has been hereditary for a hundred years, and now King Huinan is just a Yin with the same surname as today's saint.

In order to take care of the identity of King Huinan, the first emperor did not give Yin Zhiming a marriage, but first let the two little guys cultivate their feelings, but people are not as good as heaven, and His Majesty did not insist until the relationship between the two sprouted.

During the period of filial piety for nearly three years, the new emperor did not bring up the old things, but just let the only female son of the dynasty study Taixue and practice martial arts.

Speaking of the time of the funeral, a trace of desolation appeared on Yin Tianxin's face, His Majesty, the emperor who loved him extremely much, was no longer there, although the new emperor did not criticize himself, but obviously he was not as doting on her as the first emperor.

Of course, these can't be said to meet the person in front of him unexpectedly, Yin Tianxin still parted ways with the person in front of him, and skipped it in a few words about the hardships of the past few years.

Yin Tianxin talked about some interesting things in Beijing again, of course, it is impossible to leave the few young ladies of the Zhang family.

"Brother Ming, are you going to get engaged to that seventh lady of the Zhang family?"

As soon as Yin Zhiming stepped into the gate of Yi Nan Garden, he retracted his legs and said, "That's all a joke from my father, and it can't be taken seriously." ”

Yin Tianxin's cheeks instantly flushed, and he said writhingly: "That..."

"This time I went to Beijing, firstly, to give His Majesty the Emperor a detailed briefing on the important military and political affairs of Guinan, and secondly, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to choose a marriage for me. So I really don't know who it is. ”

Yin Zhiming's regressive action just now made Yin Tianxin's heart sink, and he said with a smile with difficulty: "Brother Ming, don't you go in and sit?" ”

"It suddenly occurred to me that there are still some things to deal with, how about this today? Stay until tomorrow, Sister Tianxin, will you take me to visit this Yuncheng again? ”

"Okay, that's a deal."

Yin Zhiming walked back to Yuming Courtyard alone, squinted his eyes, slowly walked to the gate of the courtyard, and did not dislike the dust on the threshold, so he sat directly on the top, looking at the people in the courtyard with a warm face.

Although Hou Xiong is the deputy capital commander of the four cities, his identity is there at the moment, and he can't enter and leave the palace for no reason.

It's discipline, it's also a rule.

Hou Xiong has never seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Tianxin, but he knows her name, the notoriety of the Prince of Tianxin, and it seems that only the one in the family can match it.

It is extremely interesting that His Royal Highness is sympathetic to his subordinates, and allows himself to take those brothers who follow him out to have a good time.

Holding the money bag that Yin Zhiming threw before entering the palace, he directly distributed it to several soldiers under him, and secretly thought: "If there is no welfare, who will follow him to die." ”

"Okay brothers, since the prince has entered the palace, then there is nothing to do with us, and the prince is also generous, let me take a few brothers outside to have a dash.

However, you also know that I am just a rough man, unlike those who read books who know what sensational words are, so I can only divide this money among everyone, and everyone will go their own way! ”

"The general is mighty!"

"The general is domineering!"

Each palace has its own armament, which is managed by the grand eunuch of the palace, jumping out of the three armies and not among the four guards.

These three armies are infantry, chariot, and cavalry.

One of the five guards is Jin Wuwei, who is responsible for the security outside the palace, the second is Guangluxun, who is in charge of the security inside and outside the palace, and the third is the eunuch guard, who serves His Majesty the Emperor and protects the safety of His Majesty the Emperor. Its Four Shadow Cloud Guards, the department responsible for secretly collecting information from His Majesty the Emperor.

Just as these people were praising Hou Xiong, the guard who hated Hou Xiong before was snickering in his heart, and silently added a strong sum to Hou Xiong's preparation for the crime.

.....

Imperial Palace, Feng Laiyi

The queen mother is the mother of the world, her bedroom is naturally magnificent, the outside of the bedroom is covered by glazed tiles, and the eaves are carved into a white bird and a phoenix, meaning auspicious. Sandalwood is a beam, and there is a phoenix with a gold leaf painting on it, and there is a phoenix to come.

There is a huge night pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, there is the delicate decoration of the dragon and phoenix carving in all directions, circling around the pearl, there is the meaning of the dragon and phoenix playing with the pearl.

The white marble from the small country from afar is carved into a lotus root of fish and shrimp, the fish and shrimp are vivid, as if swimming on the ground, the petals are fresh and exquisite, and even the stamens are delicate and recognizable.

It is covered with a layer of Xiuyu, and through Xiuyu, the sense of reality is directly reflected in the hearts of people.

The six-foot-wide agarwood bed is hung next to the shark silk treasure tent, and the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas. The couch is set up with a green jade incense pillow, covered with soft silkworm ice sticks, and stacked with jade belts.

At this time, the one lying on the bed is the mother of the whole country, the current queen mother.

The queen mother reclined on the soft pillow and lay on the big bed, wearing a fiery red dress, the neckline was embroidered with a butterfly pattern with golden silk thread, the skirt was embroidered with a golden auspicious cloud pattern, embellished with precious stones, a pair of sharp and charming Danfeng eyes with a smile, the phoenix in the center of the Lingyun bun had a pearl in her mouth, and the tassels under the pearl hung down gently, reflecting the magnificent and charming

At the head of the bed, a bronze Xuande furnace sprinkled with golden spots is burned, and there is a refreshing strange thing ambergris.

"You mean the girl surnamed Liu from the Zhang family."

"Yes, the queen mother, that person didn't know the etiquette, and dared to rush into the princess of the Yue country, and what was even more infuriating was that she actually said that the queen mother, you..."

"Say what?"

"Say you don't dare to do anything to her."

The queen lifted her ten-fingered slender hands and sat up with the support of the palace maid.

"But no, I really can't do anything with other people."

Rao Lin knelt on the ground, raised his body, and said with great certainty: "The slaves and maids have all inquired, she is just a guest of the Zhang family, if the queen wants to dispose of her, I don't think the Zhang family will maintain it!" ”

"That's what you're asking about? Okay, step aside, and I'll keep this matter in mind for your loyalty to me, and I won't say anything. ”

"But..."

Rao Lin wanted to say something more, but the voice of the queen mother who could not resist came.

"It's nothing, you've been with me for so many years. It's really a long time to get older, so let's get some reward money and go back. ”

Rao Lin looked at the queen in surprise, stunned for a moment.

The palace maid who has been with the queen for many years frowned and scolded: "Don't thank you yet!" ”

"The Queen." Rao Lin changed his words in a panic while kowtowing: "Thank you for the grace of the queen mother, thank you for the grace of the queen mother." ”

The queen mother sighed and signaled the palace maid next to her to wave her sleeves touchingly.

"Oh, that's a pity."
