Chapter Eighty-Three: The Prime Minister's Ambition Fills the Grievances
When it was noon, it was time for fasting.
Su Qian rested and had spirits, and when he heard the queen mother send someone from the palace to call, he went out of the wing room to the side courtyard to accompany the queen mother to fast.
Although it is a table of vegetarian dishes, they are all exquisitely presented, and they are thought of at first glance.
The Queen Mother scooped a bowl of fresh mushroom soup with her own hands, handed it to Su Qian, and said lightly, "Taste this soup is extremely delicious, and it is only available in Baoxiang Temple, and you can't eat it in the palace." ”
Su Qian was surprised why the Queen Mother was so tolerant of her today, but she held her hands quietly on the surface and smiled obediently, "Queen Xie." ”
She took a sip, and it was delicious, with the smell of wild mushrooms in her mouth.
Su Qian praised: "It's really delicious, it's rare to taste." ”
The Queen Mother glanced at him with slanted eyes, and resumed her previous arrogant posture, "Eat and sleep." ”
Su Qian: ......
Who was the person who took the initiative to talk to her first?
Lunch is over.
According to the plan, it should be almost the time to return to the palace, if it is delayed again, it will be dark when you go back, and the presiding monk is waiting in the courtyard, waiting to send each other, and the forbidden army is ready to return to the palace.
At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly said: "The spiritual mountain on the Baoxiang Temple, the mourning family has not been gone for a long time, and the mourning family often climbs the mountain to look at the scenery when they have lived in the temple for a long time, but they are quite nostalgic." ”
Su Qian's eyebrows jumped, what does the Queen Mother want to do?
She had to echo, "Oh? It seems that the scenery of Lingshan is very beautiful, but now it is the middle of winter, and the scenery of everything is withering, and the concubines are regretful that they can't witness it. ”
"It doesn't matter." The Queen Mother had a smile on her face, but the corners of her eyes overflowed with a little calculation, "This spiritual mountain is not a beautiful scenery, and the sea of clouds wrapped in golden light at sunrise is a rare sight in the world." ”
"Since it is difficult to get out of the palace, it is also a way, how about the queen accompany the mourning family to Lingshan for a walk?"
Why did the Queen Mother have to go to Lingshan and not act according to the original plan, although Su Qian didn't know the reason, she always felt that it would not be as simple as watching the sunrise.
"Listening to what the queen mother said, the concubines are also yearning, but will this break the rules?"
The Queen Mother's tone was firm, "No, the mourning family is just a delay for a day." ”
Su Qian has already left the palace, and in the hands of the Queen Mother, although she is the queen, but there is the Queen Mother above, whether it is the palace people or the forbidden army, they all listen to the Queen Mother's transfer, even if she is unwilling, but there is no way to return to the palace immediately.
Su Qian pondered for a moment and agreed, "The mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and the concubine is not worried that the queen mother will travel alone, and the concubine will accompany her." ”
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and nodded approvingly, "The queen is the most filial." ”
Both of them have their own thoughts in their hearts, and they are still smiling on the surface.
It's just that Zhang He, the leader of the forbidden army who has just taken office, when he heard the queen mother's decree, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and the emperor's holy decree was to let the queen mother and the queen return to the harem before dark after praying.
And the Queen Mother temporarily wanted to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, so she had to stay in the wing room of Lingshan for one night.
Zhang He wanted to send someone to the palace to ask the emperor what he meant, but he delayed the time again and again, even if the emperor allowed it, it would be too late for the queen mother to want to climb the mountain again.
Zhang He knelt on the ground and persuaded stubbornly: "The Queen Mother thinks twice, Weichen acts on the emperor's orders, and must escort Feng Jia back to the palace before dark." ”
The Queen Mother said unhurriedly, "Zhang Qing, the mourning family just wants to climb the mountain, the emperor is filial piety and sincerity, how can he not satisfy this wish of the mourning family." ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother had made up her mind, Zhang He was born as a martial artist after all, and he couldn't say a word that could be justified, so he was in a dilemma for a while before he made up his mind, and while sending the fast-paced forbidden army back to the palace to resume his life, everyone escorted the Queen Mother and the Queen up the mountain.
Zhiyun and Su Qian returned to the wing room first, waiting for the forbidden army to arrange before setting off.
Zhiyun frowned delicately and spoke, "Niangniang, how can the slave and maid look at the Queen Mother's actions, something is wrong. ”
Even Zhiyun, a stupid girl, could see it, how could Su Qian not know.
Su Qian sighed, "There must be a demon when things go wrong, but since the emperor is not around, no one can stop the queen mother, and we have no other way for the time being." ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the wing. Come to the human: "Weichen Zhang He, ask to see the queen." ”
Zhiyun opened the door and welcomed people in.
Zhang He's face was full of worry, he knelt down on one knee, and said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, the mountain minister will follow you closely to protect you in a while, and at night, the minister will personally send someone to guard, I am afraid that there will be abruptness, I hope Niangniang will not blame." ”
Su Qian raised his hand and said softly, "Please, it's troublesome for the guards to take care of the palace." ”
"The queen has tormented the minister, this is the duty of the minister."
After Zhang He obtained the consent of the queen, he hurriedly went out to deploy.
Although Lingshan is not high, it is steep along the road, and there is only one step of more than 2,000 steps on the mountain road, and everyone abandons the carriage and walks instead.
Headed by the Queen Mother, the long procession in the mountains stretched out on the steps.
At first, everyone could move forward in an orderly manner, but with the passage of time and footsteps, many palace maids and eunuchs were physically exhausted, and the team was unconsciously stretched and scattered.
Zhang He originally planned to protect the Queen Mother and Empress at the front of the team, but when such a scene occurred, he also had to run to the middle and lead the forbidden army to maintain order.
After watching for a while, he arranged in an orderly manner, scattering the guards and eunuchs and palace maids, ten people in a small group, supporting each other to advance, and the team was quickly orderly, and even the speed was much faster.
Zhang Hejian had solved it, and followed the Queen Mother and the Queen again inch by inch.
The team moved slowly, and finally reached the top of the mountain just as it was getting dark.
There are also rows of wings on the Lingshan Mountain to live in, many dignitaries and nobles will climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery and occasionally spend the night, although it is not as convenient as in the Baoxiang Temple, everything is complete, but it is clean and tidy.
The palace people rested for a while, and after taking a breath, they stepped up and began to get busy with the work at hand.
"The concubine recovered from a serious illness not long ago, and climbed the mountain to feel physically exhausted, and her spirit was cowardly, so please allow the queen mother to allow the concubine to go to the wing room to rest for a while, and the concubine will come to accompany the mother to dinner."
Su Qian's first was really tired, and the second was to try not to let himself move around, so he stayed in the wing, thinking that it should be fine.
The Queen Mother nodded kindly, "Go, you don't have to accompany the mourning family for dinner like this, your cultivation is the main thing." ”
"Thank you for your mother's compassion."
Su Qian turned around with a cold face, and took Zhiyun into the room that was cleaned up.
Subsequently, twenty forbidden troops obeyed Zhang He's arrangement and stationed fifty paces away from the queen's wing with knives.
At night, the mountain style is fierce and whistling in the ears.
Zhang He's eyes were blown away by the wind, and the forbidden soldiers were shivering from the cold, but they didn't dare to slack off, patrolling back and forth intensively, nervously tense, for fear that something would go wrong.
Zhang Hegang received the emperor's decree, and reprimanded him for making his own opinions, obeying the queen mother's wishes, and not sparing his life if there was a change.
When he received the decree, his heart jumped, but he had already taken the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother up the mountain, and now there was no other way but to step up the deployment of the forbidden army to protect the safety of the Queen Mother and the Queen.
The Queen Mother is in the wing.
The crow cries sounded intermittently outside, and if you didn't pay attention to the words carefully, they would be covered up in the wind and blown, and you wouldn't find the rhythm of three short and one long in the crow's crow.
Mama Zhang's ears are very good, she stood by the window and listened for a while, then turned around and looked serious, and said, "Queen Mother, they have come up the mountain." ”
The Queen Mother's heart sank, she leaned on the edge of the bed tiredly, her brows were tightly locked, and she closed her eyes helplessly, "When will the ambition of the elder brother of the mourning family be filled, is it really to the point where the world is renamed and changed to the surname Lin!" ”
"The Queen Mother carefully divides the wall and has ears."
Mama Zhang was shocked, her eyes looked back and forth through the window, and she said worriedly, "This and the queen's wing, Zhang Hedu sent a lot of forbidden troops to guard it closely, but I am afraid that this plan will not work." ”
"The Buddha is merciful and bless the Lin family." She is not only the queen mother, but also the daughter of the Lin family, and she has been living for the Lin family all her life.
But if the Buddha has a compassionate heart, he should punish the Lin family's calamity, and the Haiyan River will be clear in the world.
