On the fifth day of the imperial tomb, even if Lin Zhaoxia and Zhao Guangyuan didn't want to return to Beijing, they had to go back.

Zhao Guangyuan asked the Ministry of Rites to complete the five ceremonies within a month, he was not in the capital, and the big wedding could not be arranged. Under the urging of Cao Cuo and others, the two packed up their things and prepared to return to the capital.

Lin Qiushan Geng and the others were reluctant, but they also knew that they couldn't stay, so they packed up a bunch of food and sent them away with tears.

Lin Zhaoxia lifted the curtain and saw that they were getting farther and farther away until they were blurred, and his heart was quite sentimental.

In this era when communication can't be done by shouting, I don't know when I will see you again. Ordinary people marry daughters, and those who are far away also have the opportunity to meet, but the identity of the Lin family's mausoleum is not at all inextricable, and it is inseparable from the scope of this imperial mausoleum.

Geng couldn't stop crying when he saw the carriage moving away, and Lin Qiushan comforted him on the side, "Don't cry, let people see it carefully." ”

Geng choked up: "When she gets married, we can't prepare a dowry for her, and there is no family to send her, so let her marry alone." "I was sorry for my daughter more than 20 years ago, and now even if she gets married, the family can't do anything for her.

Lin Qiushan was also sad in his heart, but he endured it, "We hope that she will live well." Didn't the prince say that she would marry from Lord Jiang's mansion, it was much better than marrying from our family. ”

"Yes, mother, there will always be a chance to meet in the future."

In the carriage, Zhao Guangyuan also comforted Lin Zhaoxia: "Don't be sad, there will be a chance to meet in the future." ”

"Hmm." Lin Zhaoxia responded lightly and crooked in his arms. After a while, he collected his emotions and asked him again: "If there is no chance for the waste palace, what should I do?" ”

The two of them left in vain. It's been a long time, and I don't know how long it will be.

Zhao Guangyuan didn't speak, he was also worried about Changzhi, worried that the family of three would be separated forever. But he can't bring this emotion out, Xia Er will be sad. had to be silently appeased.

Lin Zhaoxia also knew that he had a lot to do, and the responsibility and pressure on his shoulders were on his shoulders, so he didn't mention it again.

The two were silent all the way, and returned to the capital at noon the next day.

When he returned to the palace, before he could clean up, Zhao Guangyuan asked people to leave. The people of the Ministry of Rites have been looking forward to him for many days. This King Yue, as if urging his life, everyone in the Ministry of Rites was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground for his wedding, but as a result, he was fine, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

There are so many things that have to wait for him to come up with an idea. I waited anxiously every day.

As a result, as soon as he entered the mansion, the people from the Ministry of Rites received the news and came to the door.

Lin Zhaoxia also received a lot of greeting stickers here, and when the maid brought it, she opened it and looked at it, and then began to reply to the post. She discussed with Zhao Guangyuan, and she would not go out to meet guests before the wedding, and explained one by one, inviting everyone to come to her wedding banquet, and then holding a banquet to invite everyone after the wedding banquet.

Let the replies be sent to each house.

Zhao Guangyuan was busy until the end of the day. When he returned to the room, he saw Lin Zhaoxia holding his forehead with his hands on the couch with his eyes closed, under the candlelight, his palm-sized face was covered with a layer of sorrow, and his eyebrows were tightly locked, which made him feel distressed.

Walked over and sat down beside her gently, under the candlelight, her face was covered by the candlelight, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of clear light, like a dream. Even though it had been several days since she came to her side, Zhao Guangyuan felt like she had a dream.

As soon as his hand touched her face, Lin Zhaoxia woke up. "You're back?"

"Well, why don't you go to bed first."

"Waiting for you."

Zhao Guangyuan sighed lightly, leaned on the couch, and took her in his arms, "Tomorrow at sunset, I will take you into the palace to thank you, and take the opportunity to say that I will burn paper money for the old man in the waste palace, and take you to the waste palace to have a look, and we will ask you to come out again after dark." ”

"The palace gate is closed at sunset, how can you let us stay in the palace?"

"Gotta give it a try." If he doesn't stay in the ruined palace until dark, he is unwilling. Xia Er came that day when it was dark. "Let's just say that the queen mother asked me to burn some paper money for the royal brother, old books, etc."

Empress Zhenshun was buried in the imperial mausoleum, but Zhao Guangyuan's sibling brother, the first prince was raided because he committed a crime, and the family did not even repair the mausoleum, and was hastily buried in the suburbs of Beijing.

"That ......"

"Don't worry, he'll agree."

Sure enough, when Zhao Guangyuan entered the palace the next morning to reply and ask the emperor for permission to go to the abandoned palace in the evening to worship, the emperor did not agree at first.

"Didn't you just come back from the Imperial Tomb?"

"The imperial brother is not buried in the imperial mausoleum." The voice was cold.

Emperor Zhizheng choked, "Then go to his grave and burn it." ”

"I don't need my father to remind my son, and so will my son. It's just that the father and the emperor don't forget, the abolished palace has also been locked up by the imperial brother, and his grievances are still there. ”

Emperor Zhizheng's body tightened.

Did the first prince have any grievances? He knew it in his heart. Whether the first prince is guilty or not, he also knows in his heart.

The sin of the first prince was not as good as that of his children, but he listened to the words of the ministers at that time, saying that he wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and none of the first prince's heirs remained. He must have a grudge in his heart.

In these years, Emperor Zheng never mentioned the first prince, and the ministers and palace people who served him would not mention the first prince in front of him.

But when he saw King Yue, he would naturally think of the first prince, and when he saw Jiang Xiang, he would involuntarily think of the first prince. He is the monarch of Great Qi, everything he does is naturally for Great Qi, for the eternal stability of Great Qi, he is not wrong.

Even if it's wrong, it's someone else's fault.

Emperor Zhizheng looked at Zhao Guangyuan, and only looked away for a while, "Only this time, I won't take it as an example." ”

"Yes."

"The Lin family doesn't have to enter the palace to thank you."

"If she doesn't thank her, she will wait until after the wedding to enter the palace with me to thank her. But tonight I will take her to pay homage to the royal brother. Please bless us and bless the wedding. ”

Emperor Zhizheng wanted to oppose it, but there was no reason to oppose it. With a choked breath in his chest, he didn't want to say anything more to him, so he waved him back.

Zhao Guangyuan walked out of the imperial study, didn't look back, and strode out of the palace.

Liu Qi watched him stride meteor, eager to leave the palace earlier, and didn't want to stay longer for half a moment, and sighed silently in his heart. Only then did he sigh with emotion, and he heard the emperor call him, "Prepare a sacrifice and hand it over to King Yue in the evening." ”

Liu Qi lowered his eyes, "Yes." I didn't dare to think too much, so I turned around and went to prepare.

Before sunset, Zhao Guangyuan took Lin Zhaoxia into the palace, and he didn't alarm others, and chose a remote path to enter the abandoned palace. took the sacrifice in Liu Qi's hand at the gate of the palace and thanked him, Liu Qi didn't stay long, turned around and left.

There are only two people left in the waste palace, Zhao Guangyuan and Lin Zhaoxia.

Taking advantage of the sunset, the two put the offerings on the table and burned some old books and paper money. "My royal brother loves to read and has a wide range of knowledge. I think if he were in modern times, he would want to stay in the library all day. ”

Lin Zhaoxia listened to him talk about the former prince, listened silently on the side, and asked a sentence and a half from time to time, feeling sad for the former prince and his family who died young.

is obviously the most noble prince, but he still died in the mud. The one who sits in the highest position can give you the position of prince, can also pull you down, and can also make you die.

The afterglow fell, the night fell, and the wind suddenly rose in the ruined palace, and the ashes that had not yet had time to be cleaned up suddenly fluttered and swept up with the wind.

The two of them were excited. Get up and watch it all.
