Chapter 27: The Palace
The preparation of all things before the prayer ceremony, the preparation of tributes, various activities, and the arrangement of the ceremony involve more than ten departments, and there are thousands of things.
There is only one thing that needs to be done by Master Huo Yi of the Gandao Temple, and the prayer ceremony is carried by transport, relying on the fortune of the Heavenly Dao, so there is naturally avoidance. And the people involved also have a genus to deceive each other, and this year, the genus who needs to be avoided in the palace has already arrived in Concubine Wen's palace.
Snakes and sheep clash with each other. This means that all snakes and sheep in the palace should be avoided.
Concubine Wen is the first to bear the brunt of the sheep. If it weren't for the fact that Master Huo Yi personally saw it, she would have thought that it was deliberately done by the queen's mother, but Master Huo Yi personally set it, even if she had an idea, she didn't even dare to mention half a word.
So the palace began to conduct a large-scale investigation, from the concubines and concubines to the palace maids and eunuchs, and four days later, the list had been listed, and there were four or five hundred people.
It is not difficult for these people to arrange a place to go, the palace on the outskirts of the city has already been cleaned up, even if there are princes and princesses, there are separate courtyards.
It's just that Concubine Wen is a little worried that the body of the Second Highness will be repeated if the environment is moved, and the Fourth Highness will stay in the palace alone, just afraid that no one will be more lawless.
"Mother, don't worry so much, look at who else is on this list?" Kang Ning's father-in-law took out a list of Xingqing Hall and pointed to the names of the people on it.
"Lord Chaoren?" Concubine Wen didn't make a fool of what Kangning wanted to say, and she hated that others said half a sentence and left half a sentence.
Father-in-law Kangning knew his master's temperament well, and immediately spoke.
"Niangniang is not worried that His Royal Highness is too close to this Chaoren County Lord, now, this County Lord is in your hands, it is the best opportunity."
"What chance?" It's hard to kill it, that's the heir of King Duan, King Duan will fight with you. Therefore, even if the Queen Mother thought that this cheap county lord was dead, she didn't dare to do it to this day. Besides, why bother with this.
"Let this Chaoren County Lord never have the opportunity to return to the palace." Kang Ning's father-in-law followed and spoke, "The county lord is now thirteen years old, although I Nan Zhengguo advocates late marriage, but thirteen is also the age of engagement, if this county lord meets the right person in this palace and moves his mind, do you want to ......"
"What if I don't like it?" Concubine Wen couldn't figure it out, what kind of place was the palace, how could anyone enter it.
"Niangniang, oh my mother, you are really a bodhisattva. This Chaoren county lord has been locked in the Qishun Building since he was born and has never gone out, but if there is a suave young man who shows favor a little, how can he not be tempted. Moreover, this county lord is the only bloodline of King Duan, and having a county lord is equivalent to having King Duan. There is no chance for a mother to create an opportunity, and this person needs to be our people. ”
Concubine Wen was silent, and the words of Father-in-law Kang Ning really moved her heart.
What kind of person is Duanwang, he has the talent to govern the world, and how fierce the battle was for establishing a long and virtuous person. For the sake of this county lord, King Duan is willing to unload all his rights, if he can get the support of King Duan, His Royal Highness ......
So this person must also be from their Wen family.
Concubine Wen rubbed and rubbed the paper in her hand, as if she saw the possibility of the Fourth Highness sitting in that position for a moment.
……
King Duan begged to see him for two days, and then he saw the Empress Dowager Yanping.
As the favorite son of the Empress Dowager Yanping back then, he even sacrificed his eldest son to help King Duan to that position, and even planned the battle for the throne with his own hands. How much the Empress Dowager Yanping liked this little son at the beginning, how much she hated it at the moment.
It's just that the one in Qishun Building is indeed older, and the Empress Dowager Yanping has to think about the future.
King Duan walked on the ground of the palace without any emotion, even if there was someone in the palace who he wanted to see the most, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that he would make some moves and hurt Nianru who was alone in the palace.
Ru Niang desperately gave birth to the only daughter, and he even wanted to see each other.
And now that there is such an opportunity, it is possible to take her back to the Duanwang Mansion, and he is willing to lower his posture.
"Lord Wang, you're here." Mama Du personally waited at the door of the Xingqing Palace, looking at the Duan Wang who had taken care of her since she was a child, with a loving face, the posture of the dragon and phoenix, even if she was wearing an ordinary regular clothes, she was also a great shore cultivator, how could she not be favored.
"The son knocks on the queen mother." Duanwang didn't have much emotion, he had no intention of fighting for the throne, but God would make people, but the matter had come to this point, he couldn't talk about regret or not, only sadness.
"Boding, is there something to ask me for?" The Empress Dowager Yanping's heart has already died, one son is really half dead, and the other son is really half dead, she is still alive, just because as soon as she leaves, two half-dead will become two dead.
"Erchen is ashamed and failed to fulfill his filial piety in front of him. If you have rejuvenated today, but it is still cold in the morning and evening, please add clothes in time for the queen mother, and be sure to take care of your body. King Duan kowtowed deeply, full of guilt.
Empress Dowager Yanping's heart softened, and her voice softened first.
"You're not too young, so you should pay attention to your body."
"Yes, the son-in-law Xie Mother cares."
"Look at you guys who are all old and confused like me, why do you still let King Duan kneel." Empress Dowager Yanping glanced at the minions all over the ground complainingly.
Mama Du stepped forward in person and helped King Duan to take his seat.
"Queen Mother, no matter how confused the slaves and maids are, they don't dare to stop King Duan from giving you filial piety." The minions all over the room laughed, and the Empress Dowager Yanping scolded the old thing with a smile.
"Boding, what's going on today?" The Empress Dowager Yanping's mood is a little relaxed, even if she meets once, it doesn't matter, after so many years, she has seen so many times, and if you see each other once, you will see each other once.
King Duan hesitated how to speak, but he estimated that he would be rejected no matter how he spoke, so he might as well speak directly.
"Erchen does have something to ask for, and Erchen wants to go back to live for a while." King Duan knelt down again, and the originally peaceful atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
Mama Du glanced at the Queen Mother of Yanping, wanting to see something from the Queen Mother's face, but she couldn't see anything, so she could only look at King Duan complainingly.
"Lord Wang, are you going to the palace because of the prayer ceremony, don't you worry?"
"The queen mother, Nianru has never been out of Qishun Building, and now she is in the palace, and there is no queen mother to take care of her, Erchen hopes to take her back to the house to live for a while, and when the prayer ceremony is over, Erchen will send Nianru into the palace." King Duan said calmly, in front of him was his own mother, and he disdained those tricks.
The Empress Dowager Yanping looked at her once favorite youngest son on the ground and did not speak.
Mama Du is a little anxious, the prince can't first open his mouth to care about the queen mother, the queen mother is happy, maybe she will let you meet, but suddenly make such a request, once the county lord arrives here, where will he send it back.
"Lord Wang, your favorite chef is in charge of the small kitchen today, why don't you go after eating?" Mama Du hesitated and spoke.
"Mama Du, is this Xingqing Hall now your master?" Empress Dowager Yanping said coldly, this is the wings are stiff and about to fly.
