CHAPTER XXIV

When I walked out of the door of the Hehuan Temple, I began to cough

Xiang'er handed me a handkerchief, I took it and covered my mouth and coughed twice, I felt the smell of rust

When the veil was removed, it was bright red

"In the past two days, Your Majesty's body has finally gotten better, why is it ...... again," she frowned

"Your Majesty"

I heard the voice, and hurriedly wiped the blood on my lips and wrapped it for Xiang'er

"Don't let people see it," I whispered to Xiang'er

"Your Majesty, here we go"

I looked back at Minami Deadwood, "I have a headache and want to go back and rest."

"It's just that His Majesty's sudden departure will damage the image of our country," Nan Kumu said seriously

"Lord Nanku, why should it be difficult for Her Majesty the Empress," Mu Xiange walked over slowly

"Why did the second prince come out," I glanced at Mu Xiange

"It's really boring inside, who wants to play with these old men who are full of big truths" He didn't hold back, but what he said was reasonable

"If the second prince is not having fun, he can come to the stage tomorrow to watch the play, and I will come to see it when I am bored."

"The second prince said this, it seems that we shouldn't be talking to you here."

Nan Deadwood looked at Mu Xiange

"It's not there, it's just that I don't like it," Mu Xiange didn't dare to really say that they weren't here

"Your Majesty, even if you're not in good health, don't blow the wind here," Nan Kumu looked at me

"Lord Nanku, hurry up and go in, don't catch the cold."

I'd like to let me go quickly

"I'll send Her Majesty back, and you don't have to worry about Mu Xiange standing beside me

"Then I'll bother the second prince," Nan Kumu finished and went in

I walked side by side with him

"Your Majesty is really a little uncomfortable? Or "he didn't say it again, and I know that the second half of his sentence is nothing more than about the general."

"It's a little uncomfortable, and I have a bad headache."

It's true, can you see them like this without a headache?

"Even if it's uncomfortable, why deal with these people"

I coughed

"The second prince is also tired, you can go back first, I have Xiang'er with me" I stopped to look at him

"Her Majesty the Empress doesn't want me to send it, so be it, Her Majesty the Empress should pay attention to your body, don't get sick" Mu Xiange's eyes were a little distressed

"The second prince should also pay more attention to his body"

He saluted me, "Then I'll go first."

When I arrived at the temple, Aunt Lan was sorting through my bookcase

"Aunt Lan," I called her

"Why did you come back so early, and Your Majesty is playing tricks again?" Aunt Lan looked at me

"No, it's just a bit of a headache, so I don't want to be there"

I saw a brocade box on the table

"Aunt Lan, what is this?"

"It was given to His Majesty by the general, does Your Majesty have a bad headache? Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor? "Aunt Lan came and sat next to me

"It's okay" I opened the box and it was a scroll

When I opened it, it was a picture of my mother and a little girl, but I had never painted a picture with my mother, so who was the girl who painted it

"Aunt Lan, do you see" I smiled and showed Aunt Lan "like a mother?" ”

"This painting...... This painting was painted by the emperor, but it disappeared at that time."

Aunt Lan brought it to me again

"Mother's Painting" I didn't expect it to be painted by my mother herself

"The emperor painted himself and His Majesty" That little girl is me

"It's just that I lost it when I went to Xixian, and the general found it from there."

"I don't know, but why hasn't anyone told me?"

Aunt Lan came to tea and gave it to me, "At that time, I only thought it was a painting, not to mention why I mentioned this to you for no reason?" Isn't it good to get it back now? ”

I nodded

"By the way, the general asked me to tell Your Majesty that this is not a gift, but just a return to the original owner, what happened to Your Majesty and the general?" Aunt Lan looked at me

"Nothing"

Was he afraid that I wouldn't accept it, so he gave it to Aunt Lan?

I took the painting and compared it to the room furnishings

"Aunt Lan, did you see the gift from the second prince?"

"See, the kid has a heart"

I chose a place to hang the picture, "Aunt Lan thinks the second prince is good, so what does Aunt Lan think of the general?" ”

I have never heard Aunt Lan's evaluation of the general

"He is a good boy, he thinks about everything thoughtfully, and he does things satisfactorily, but he doesn't care about the opinions of the world, and it is easy to harm the people around him"

I hung up the paintings

"So Aunt Lan doesn't hate the general, but she doesn't like what he does?"

It turned out that Aunt Lan knew the general like this

"No, he's so good, it's just that he will hurt Your Majesty"

I took a sip of tea

"If it is after the election, Aunt Lan thinks that if my mother is still there, who will she choose for me? Who will Aunt Lan choose? ”

Does everyone think it's impossible for me to be with him?

"The emperor and I will choose Bai Shumin"

really

"Bai Shumin is the grandson of Taifu, he has no official position, and those ministers will not embarrass you" Aunt Lan looked at me with a smile, "But we will still choose a general in the end, because Your Majesty has never given up on him, and we don't want Your Majesty to be unhappy"

I looked up at Aunt Lan, and for whatever reason, someone would agree with me and the general

It's just a pity that we can't be together anymore

I put the jade carving given by Mu Mu Xian in the ancestral hall

On the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, we need to worship the heavens and worship the ancestors, and these days, except for the previous dynasty, I read the scriptures I copied in the ancestral hall

On the day of the festival to the heavens, Yin Shi was called

It's been a really busy day

"Your Majesty remembers that at an altar where you have to kneel and worship, and what your Majesty has to say when I write a prayer" Xiaoxiao was next to me, telling me the process and what to say, I haven't remembered the process in the ancestral hall in the past few days, but I hope nothing happens

"Xiaoxiao, where did you put the blanket for paving?" Xiang'er ran over

"Isn't it in the attic?"

"Nope"

Originally, this should have been paved yesterday, but it snowed yesterday, and if it hadn't snowed yesterday, it wouldn't have been so busy today

"I'll just let them go there, did you ask them?"

I asked, "Xiang'er ran out again."

My hair is always loose, but today it's rare to tie it up

"Xiaoxiao, are the altars outside all set up?"

I asked about the progress

"Not yet, Your Majesty can't go out now, don't forget"

I answered

"By the way, has Taifu arrived?" After a while, Taifu will need to guide the way

"I'm here, I'm in the service hall" Xiang'er came over to give me a box of jewelry for my makeup, "That's it"

"Didn't you find another pair yesterday?" I looked at the other side

"They took the wrong pair yesterday" Mama was found by Aunt Lan to make up, but only if you want this kind of occasion

"These two portraits, I didn't carefully compare the patterns on them, so I took the wrong one" Xiang'er sorted out the clothes and hung them up

"Just find it," Mama put a crown on my head

"Your Majesty, don't move, just wait for me to plug in and shake"

"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's snowing" Xiaoxiao came in

"How so? Didn't you say it wouldn't snow today? "I turned my head, and something suddenly occurred to me

"It's over" Mama picked up the crown "It's broken, the beads have fallen off several times" Mama paused and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't let people in, if people see it, it's a bad omen"

"Your Majesty," Aunt Lan came in

"Aunt Lan," I said, gesturing to the crown of my head

Aunt Lan frowned, "Your Majesty will go to the ancestral hall now, and when you come out, we can say that the snow country represented by this snow is an auspicious omen, and we can only hope that this snow will be smaller" Aunt Lan took the crown and said, "Use this, the patterns on it are not very visible, take it to repair it now, if it can be repaired before the start is the best, Taifu is still guarding the ancestral hall"

I nodded, worthy of Aunt Lan

followed Aunt Lan into the ancestral hall secretly

In the ancestral hall, I kowtowed to them first, and they secretly brought everything in

Fortunately, I had already put on my dress, and I only needed to wear an outer garment and some decorations

This is when I dress up at my best

The stride on my head was a little heavy, the door opened, and I walked slowly out
