And now this ring is in the hands of Qiu Yuling.

However, although this ring is a little ominous, it is the most beautiful of the three gifts.

Nangong Li and Lin Luoyao were even a little envious, and Qiu Yuling put it on her hand without hesitation.

The three of them thanked Concubine Yun for her reward in turn.

After the daily greetings, Concubine Yun went back to her own line. After all, her identity is there, and she can't get too close to the minister.

After Concubine Yun left, Qiu Yuling touched the ring on her hand, she looked at Lou Yun and said, "Brother Yun, why do I think she is really your mother." ”

Lin Luoyao also said: "Actually, I feel the same way. Nerd, sometimes you really look like her, I remember the way you looked when you were a woman, and that's what you looked like. ”

Lou Yun smiled bitterly: "I've never seen my mother, maybe my aunt really just looks similar to my mother." ”

Lin Luoyao said: "I think it's not bad for you to be such a mother, even if it's a godmother, Concubine Yun is the imperial concubine, the highest level in the concubine, second only to the queen, and I heard that now the queen doesn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the six palaces, and Concubine Yun is taking care of it." There is a mother who is a 'queen', and you will suddenly turn into a dragon and ride the thunder to the sky. ”

Nangong Li said at this time: "Sister Lin, this kind of thing is not easy to talk about. Although I also have some doubts about Xiaoyun's background, I believe Xiaoyun's words. Sister Qiu, what about you?"

Qiu Yuling just looked at the ring in her hand, she didn't pay attention to Nangong Li's words, she didn't want to pay attention to her, she just didn't know how to answer, she hoped that Lou Yun was a member of the Qiu family, in this way, the Qiu family would not be dead. He can continue the incense of the Qiu family. But deep down, she was very selfish in her heart, hoping that Lou Yun was not the blood of the Qiu family, so that she could marry him justifiably.

However, what she thinks most is that she is not the bloodline of the Qiu family, so that she can not only marry him, but also continue the incense for the Qiu family, but she doesn't know if she still has such ability, because of the poison skills of the Qiu family, seven out of ten women in the Qiu family have fertility disorders.

What's more, Qiu Yuling was a half-hanger who was dying before, and she didn't know if she still had the ability to have children.

Seeing Qiu Yuling's eyes, Nangong Li didn't say anything, maybe her question was indeed a little silly, so how should she answer?

Now Nangong Li's uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.

Nangong Li said: "Xiaoyun, I'm always a little restless today, nothing will happen." ”

Lin Luoyao frowned, and she said, "Sister Nangong, don't worry, we are following the emperor out on a parade this time, surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army's brocade guards, who dares to make a mistake?"

Nangong Li nodded silently and said, "I hope so." ”

About half an hour later, everyone began to have breakfast, although the emperor wanted Lou Yun to accompany him, but this time he brought his three wives, so he did not pass him on. just ordered the entourage of the imperial dining room, and the good students entertained Lou Yun and Qiu Yuling and others.

Lin Luoyao picked up the spoon and took a sip of white porridge and said, "This porridge tastes good." What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Qiu Yuling shook her head and said, "I didn't do it well. The heat is a little too big. ”

Lou Yun just chuckled, and Qiu Yuling asked, "Don't you think Brother Yun?"

Lou Yun couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's right, that's right, that's right." ”

Nangong Lishi is silent, if someone doesn't ask her, she usually doesn't speak at the dinner table, which also shows her cultivation.

After breakfast, the emperor finished handling today's government affairs, and the trip to Tianshou Mountain really kicked off.

Their first stop was the sacrifice at the top of the mountain.

After all, this Tianshou Mountain is the place of Longxing chosen by Guiguzi, of course, it is necessary to worship the heavens and worship the earth and comfort the gods of the five directions.

The priests of the Ministry of Rites have been waiting there for a long time, just waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

The ritual is not simple, but it is not complicated either.

The emperor beheaded three animals and threw three pieces of gold slips, and the sacrifice was completed. After that, the emperor will go to inspect the construction of the imperial tomb.

Of course, the emperor inspected the exterior of the imperial mausoleum, and except for the ministers responsible for the construction of the mausoleum of the Ministry of Industry, who knew the specific location, other people could not get close. And these craftsmen who built the mausoleum were all blindfolded and sent here with headbags to build it, and some of them have not been home for several years, they don't know what place this is, they just build it silently.

Of course, the rewards they get are also very rich, and the family members of each craftsman who built the mausoleum can get a compensation of twenty taels of silver from the government every year, after all, the people who build the mausoleum are men, they are all strong laborers in the family, and without them, it is difficult for their families to survive. And the compensation of twenty taels of silver per year is not a small amount even in the capital.

The craftsmen who built the outside were another group of people, and they all went home after they finished building, and as for the construction of the inside of the underground palace, this was a very confidential matter in this era.

If it had been placed in the past, the craftsmen who repaired the imperial tomb would not have returned alive, and they would have been secretly executed on the day the mausoleum was completed.

But now it's different, although Zhu Di is brutal, he is not a person who spares no effort in the people. As long as these people don't see things they shouldn't, then they can all go home alive.

The emperor walked in front of the Shinto, and he said to Lou Yun beside him: "Qiu Aiqing, I don't know what you think today?"

King Han, the crown prince, and the king of Zhao all looked at Lou Yun.

They all knew that the emperor was asking about his opinion of the imperial tomb.

In fact, the three kings' views on the imperial mausoleum are not necessarily true, the prince loves the people, as the first emperor to move the capital to Beijing, naturally Zhu Di's mausoleum is the largest and most magnificent one, which is also for the feng shui national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the crown prince does not believe in ghosts and gods, this kind of thing is the key to whether a country is strong or not, and he is still very supportive of this kind of thing.

The view of the Han king was diametrically opposed to that of the crown prince, who thought that it would be better to spend so much money to build a tomb than to use it to expand his armaments.

In his eyes, the imperial tomb is a larger tomb circle. And he is a soldier, he never believes in ghosts, gods, feng shui, he even thinks that those things are just tricks to fool the people.

He only believes in himself, in his own strength, after all, everything he has is obtained by his own strength.

He is also accustomed to seeing life and death, he has fought in the north and south for many years, and every time he has taken the lead, and the enemy troops who died under him are thousands. Those who have killed countless people will naturally not pay attention to life and death, and it is very common for famous ministers and famous generals to abandon their corpses in the wilderness on the battlefield.
