Chapter 47: Yan Qiushan's Trip 3
Inside another carriage in the line.
After Wen Ping got into the carriage, she chatted with several sisters and whispered, but Yun Niang was still in a daze.
She wouldn't still be scared by the prince when she was in the inn just now, and she hasn't come back to her senses yet, right?
"Yun Niang, I see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be a little different from the young lady in Yu Mansion, should we test it?"
She shouted several times, and then pulled Yun Niang, who was wandering away, back.
"What are you trying to do here?"
Yun Niang heard this when she came back to her senses, and Qi Xiuyao's cold eyes flashed in her mind, and she frowned subconsciously.
"If the crown prince is really special to the daughter of the Yu Mansion, this is a rare opportunity for the sisters to ask the queen for credit."
The four of them have been with the prince for a while, but they have not done anything that the queen mother ordered.
Yun Niang heard this and looked at the other two, and their faces were eager to try.
Looking at it like that, they really think that Wen Ping's proposal is good, and they can't wait to do one thing, and then ask the queen to ask for credit.
"Haven't you figured out where you are now?"
Anyway, the four of them have some friendship, and Yun Niang doesn't want to be dragged down by them, so she plans to help them sort out their thoughts.
"What our majesty gave to the crown prince, from the moment the emperor decreed, I was already a person in the prince's mansion, and from then on, our power of life and death will be in the hands of the prince."
The other three were not stupid, and as soon as they heard her say this, they knew what she meant by what she had not said.
"However, if we don't do what the queen mother explains, won't we be punished when the time comes?"
The queen's prestige in them is still very great, and Qinglei can't help but be afraid when she thinks of the queen's methods.
"We are now in the Prince's Mansion, no matter how long the queen's hand is, she can't insert it into the Prince's Mansion on the surface, it is rumored that the prince will not live to be twenty-two years old, as long as we keep to ourselves, we may be able to leave the Prince's Mansion in two years."
Yun Niang glanced at the faces of the three of them, and saw that they had different expressions on their faces, she was ready to take another dose of fierce medicine, she just wanted to keep to herself now, but she couldn't let her teammates drag her back.
"You haven't forgotten the terrifying aura on the crown prince's body, we are all people who have been in the palace for a few years, how deep the thoughts of the people of the royal family are, I don't need to remind you, this prince - forget it, you just think about it, if we do something rashly, in case we touch the bottom line of this lord, don't ask the queen for credit at that time, people have already been thrown into mass graves."
Yun Niang didn't say anything more, and let the three of them think for themselves.
If she can't figure out the key to this, and can't tell what to do, if she has to kill herself, then she can't do it.
She is benevolent and righteous, if no one wants to fight, then she can only draw a line as soon as possible and do her part well.
The three of them looked different, and began to think seriously about Yun Niang's words, and for a while the carriage was quiet, and no one had the heart to chat anymore.
An hour later, Yu Shuyue and his party finally arrived at Yanqiu Mountain.
However, they were in the south of Yanqiu Mountain, which was about ten miles away from the palace where the prince was going, so when their family arrived, the prince had to continue walking. But Yu Shuyue not only stopped when he saw the prince's carriage, but he even got out of the carriage himself.
She frowned slightly, originally she wanted to be lazy and didn't want to go to the prince to ask for peace anymore and went directly to Beizhuang, but at this time, everyone had already gotten off the carriage, how could she, the daughter of a courtier, still pretend to turn a blind eye.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to rest in Beizhuang first?"
Yu Shuyue followed her father and brother to salute him, and obediently lowered her head slightly on the side, but she never looked up at Qi Xiuyao, after hearing her father's inquiry, she also came to the spirit, wondering what he was going to do, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully on one side.
"In the three days of the Shangsi Festival, Lone didn't plan to stay in the palace."
It was not easy to see someone, and things had not been figured out yet, how could he go to the palace ten miles away.
"Lone lives in this village next door to General Yu."
Qi Xiuyao said that, and Hua An pushed him into the courtyard on the side.
Yu Shuyue looked at his distant back, and her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly.
I wanted to stay away from him, but now it's okay, and they have become neighbors.
She was preoccupied and depressed, but Qi Xiuyao was rarely in a good mood, after all, now that he was close to the water, he finally had a chance.
The top priority is to find out what happened two months ago that made her suddenly so cold to herself.
"Master, Miss Gu is already on her way here."
Ying Yi suddenly appeared, half-kneeling in the room like Qi Xiuyao who was thinking about something.
"Well, let's go down."
Gu Jingyan didn't plan to come to Yanqiushan to celebrate the festival, but her cousin had a request, she couldn't see death without help, and when she received the message, she prepared a carriage and rushed in the direction of Yanqiushan as soon as she received the message.
…………
Yu Shuyue just wanted to relax this time, Qi Xiuyao couldn't understand it and didn't bother anymore, she followed her father and brother into Beizhuang and went to her room to rest for a while.
There will be a three-day Shangsi Festival every year in Yanqiushan, starting on the third day of the third month of March and ending at the fifth time of the first month.
At the end of the first day, there will be a large-scale sacrificial event, which will be presided over by the national teacher, and the emperor will also appear, praying for good weather and peace for the country and the people this year.
After Yu Shuyue rested for a while, Yu Hengyue came to find her to go to the sacrificial platform of Yanqiu Mountain together, and after participating in the sacrificial activities, she could move on Yanqiu Mountain by herself and participate in various activities.
The altar is set up in a very open and flat place, the altar is placed with all kinds of fruits and delicacies, the emperor is dressed in a bright yellow robe and a white official uniform of the national teacher standing on the altar, the national teacher is praying to the sky at this time, the emperor is holding incense candles in his hand standing aside, they look solemn, their faces are praying seriously.
Under the sacrificial stage, all the dignitaries and ordinary people and the surrounding royal forest army were all there.
On this day, ordinary people can also see the dignity of the Son of Heaven so closely.
In the past, the people of Shangsi Festival could not see the emperor praying in person, and it was from Emperor Jiadi that there was a move to feast the Son of Heaven in Qiushan to pray for blessings.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people, Jiadi is a wise man who is sympathetic to the people and cares about the people, and his prestige among the people is still very high.
This is what he wants, only those who win the hearts of the people can really win the world.
No matter how Qi Xiuyao was not treated by the emperor, he was the prince of a country after all, and his position at the moment was the closest to the sacrificial platform.
He stared fixedly at the face of the man on the stage for a moment, then withdrew his gaze to the pious and submissive look of the people below looking at the emperor, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a faint smile of sarcasm.
Although Qi Xiuyao didn't like this high-ranking son of heaven very much, he also had to admit that he was indeed a master of manipulating people's hearts, and he was indeed a rare monarch in government affairs.
He failed to lose anyone, but his mother.
