MTL - I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man-Chapter 132 Steal a beam
The bright sun shone on the spacious and beautiful palace room.
Huo Youchan took several female officials, walked through the nave and side hall of Cining Palace, and checked each detail one by one.
The luxurious pavilions were spotlessly cleaned, waiting for the owner's return.
After months of leaving the palace, Queen Mother Huo finally returned to court.
In the past few days, there have been more and more memorials requesting the queen mother to return to the DPRK. The emperor can not completely suppress it. She simply follows the trend.
And the words of the ministers demanded that the queen queen return, not only because of Qin Nuo's hidden bloodline, but also because of another important event that required the queen queen to come forward.
After several months of emergency repairs, the emperor's tomb of Jing Yaodi finally restored its basic appearance and could be closed again.
The emperor's sleeping tomb project was completed, and the emperor usually went to worship and think about it.
This time Jingye Emperor's sleeping mausoleum caught the attention of millions of people in Dazhou, and it was more related to the war between the two dynasties.
In order to stabilize the people and show filial piety, Qin Nuo ordered that a solemn and grand sacrifice ceremony will be held at the tomb. Naturally, Queen Mother Huo can't be absent.
So early this morning, Qin Nuo personally took the convoy and officials to the summer palace in the north to welcome the return of Queen Mother Fengya.
Huo Youchan was ordered to organize and clean up the Cining Palace, waiting for the owner to come.
Walking in this familiar palace, Huo Yousil's footsteps slowed down. She was a pet of the queen mother since she was a child. In her memory, she will be called into the palace for almost half of the year. But at that time it was in Fengyi Palace where the queen lived, not here.
She has been keen and intelligent since she was a child. She has almost everything she knows about her queen, even including secrets she does not want to know.
Standing in the sleeping hall of Cining Palace, Huo Yousil was meditating.
Dongbo walked in quickly, saw Huo Youchan, and saluted with a smile: "Huo Shang Palace, what I said before is really eye-catching."
Huo Youchan laughed, "That's good. Thanks to the careful inspection of Qianli Si, we can only find evidence."
"It's also for the emperor. It would be a great help if we can pull in here." Dongbo sighed, and said, "Should someone make the clue clearer."
"No need, this is enough. Anyway, with his influence, he can inquire afterwards, and he can gain something." Huo Youchan said.
The secret that has been sealed for more than ten years, and now it is necessary to reproduce the day, always makes people have the illusion of time backtracking.
Just like in this palace, during the childhood, they shared similar interests and harmonious relationships.
People, after all, can never grow up ...
***************
Walking on the wide aisle of the summer palace, the cool breeze passes by, making people refreshed.
Qin Nuo looked at the red willow dew next to it, and the bridge was flowing.
In the midsummer season, if you can spend your leisure time here, daily boating on the lake, reading and playing, it is indeed a great joy in life.
After arriving at the queen's dormitory, Cui Yue was greeted from the side hall without seeing Queen Mother Huo.
Saluting: "It is a coincidence that the emperor came, the queen mother is still taking a nap."
"Oh, didn't Cui Qing serve?"
Cui Wei's smile was stifled, and the emperor's words were quite meaningful. He only asked them casually on the surface, but his careful taste was extremely sinister, which meant to imply that there was something in between him and the queen mother.
There was a flash of anger in Cui Yunmei's eyebrows, but she was forced down, and said coldly: "There is naturally a caring female officer around the queen mother, and a foreign minister, how can she serve in the temple."
Just casually, it seems that his pain is in the poking!
"These days, Pingxiying is on duty in the guard palace," Qin Nuo said with a smile. "Speaking of these days, serving the queen queen should have been Duan's duty, and now it is Cui Qing doing the work. Thank you Cui Qing."
Since the queen queen moved in, the security work here has been in charge of Pingxiying.
"It's just a matter of subjugation, the emperor need not say thanks." Cui Wei returned with a stern expression.
"It's the same thing. When it comes to serving the queen mother, Cui Qing is so attentive and considerate, it's much better than stupid to stay around. At least it's pleasing to stay beside." Qin Nuo couldn't help laughing Out loud.
Cui Wei was so annoyed by others to speak with his face, especially this frivolous tone. Before, there was the Honourable Jingcheng, who spoke lightly to him, but was stunned by his whip, but now the emperor said this. Can't wave at random.
But his face sank: "The Emperor said cautiously."
The emperor today is extremely polite.
Is it because of the rumors of the previous capital that the noise is furious?
Qin Nuo laughed a long time and stopped stimulating him.
"Seeing Cui Qing in this palace reminds me of the first time I saw Cui Ying a few years ago."
See you for the first time? Cui Wei smiled suddenly and suddenly laughed. "The emperor first saw the minister. At that time, it was a milk doll. I'm afraid the emperor can't remember it."
If you think about it carefully, it seems that the person in front of you is less than one year old. He passed by the harem and on the way to Qin Cong, he saw two pink dumplings brought out by the mother-in-law to bask in the sun.
Because the two little things looked exactly the same, he knew immediately that they were the twins newly added by the emperor.
In the spring weather, two small things are wearing red and one are green, and they are climbing on the open cloth mat. It seemed as if he had passed by, and one of the small things climbed towards him, wow whistling twice, bright big eyes watery.
With his eyes narrowed, he was about to climb out of the cushion, and he bent down and carried the little dumpling back to the cushion.
In early spring, there are already some mosquitoes in the grass. Staring at the few red marks on the cheeks of Dumpling Fandu, Cui Wei frowned.
Not long after, the other grandmother who was tussling with the palace found the movement on the other side and hurried over to accompany him with a smile: "It's okay for the slaves to come. Don't dare to delay Xiao Shizi's work, you still have to accompany His Royal Highness. "
Cui Wei said indifferently: "There are many mosquitoes here, don't bring any more children, otherwise one day people will see this flushed face and think that the queen mother treats the prince harshly."
Although he was young, he was already quite magnificent. The grandmother was startled, and immediately kneeled down.
After that, Cui Wei quickly left, and came to Fengyi Palace. When he saw Queen Huo, he mentioned this incident intentionally or unintentionally.
The imperial prince and princess, the servants they served were so negligent, either the grandmother and the maid were walking beside or sneaking away to play. In case of an accident, I am afraid that Huo Huo will not look good on the back.
Queen Huo thought about it, and then decided to ask Ge Xianfei to help look after the twins. Anyway, she was about to take care of the tenth prince, a child of average size, and it didn't take much effort, and she had the responsibility of assisting the harem.
With regard to the arrangement of the queen maiden, Cui Xi instinctively felt something wrong, but did not say more. After all, the uncle's harem was not a mouthful, and this matter was quickly left behind.
As soon as that sentence was spoken, Qin Nuo understood that he had made a mistake.
The owner should have seen this guy a few times before crossing it by himself.
But no one knows. For him, Cui Wei is the first person he saw after coming to this world.
It's just that the past is over, so don't mention it again.
The embarrassing conversation didn't last long, and soon the female officer came out to confide, and the queen mother woke up.
Qin Nuo came to see him, and Mother Huo had finished grooming.
A dark purple embroidered silver-lily long dress with a slender fit. The long black hair was combed into ingot robes, and two pearl robes were inserted obliquely.
"Sure enough, it is the mountains and rivers that support this summer palace. The mother and mother looked young." Qin Nuo saluted with a smile.
This speech was a little frivolous between his aunt and his sister-in-law.
But it seemed that both of them were unaware, and the queen mother laughed, "I haven't seen it in a summer, and the emperor's temper has also opened up. Presumably, everything is going well in Beijing."
Whether it goes well or not, can you know? Qin Nuo smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is worried, everything is fine in the palace."
Empress Huo nodded, and asked about the arrangement of the Lingling Festival and various details.
This time Qin Nuo came not only to welcome the queen queen to return to the DPRK, but also to hold the Emperor's Mausoleum Festival. After the sacrifice to heaven, the mother and son will return to the court together.
The two talked, and it was already dusk when they came out of the dorm.
Outside, Xu Mincai and others greeted him, and the Baobao dormitory was cleaned up, and the accompanying clan and civil and military officials were also properly placed.
The summer palace and the hot spring palace are at a glance, and they are taken over every year. They are very familiar with these processes.
Qin Nuo was here for the first time, looking at the quiet surrounding mountains, and suddenly an inexplicable emotion came to his heart.
I went to the hot springs palace for the first time, but suffered a palace change and massacre.
For the first time I came to the summer palace, there seems to be a big drama can't wait to be staged.
The first time I was only a supporting role, this time I was afraid to stand on the leading role.
****
The ceremony was held in the square before the tomb.
As early as a month ago, the repair of the mausoleum came to an end, and the ceremony began to prepare a ceremony. This ceremony was more grand than when the emperor's mausoleum was closed. Maybe it is because it is to appease the hearts of the people in Beijing and show the pure filial piety of today's son. The ceremony department also kept pace with the times, not only preparing solemn and solemn ceremonies, but also convened several Buddhist monks and Taoist leaders in Beijing. The masters also brought a group of disciples and grandchildren, and laid solemn and elegant prayers on the periphery.
If it wasn't for the master of the Jinyi suit, who rejected the affair, Qin Nuo had no doubt that they would pull out the master together.
After the ceremony ceremony reported the entire ritual memorial process, Qin Nuo saw that he was enlightened.
But now I saw it with my own eyes, and it was unexpectedly solemn and grand.
The emperor's tomb is in the mountains, and the front is completely flattened into a nine-story square from the middle of the mountain. Each floor is paved with white marble, and the first floor is wider than the first. The mere tens of thousands were used to transport these stones. Soldiers, horses, and husbands took more than half a year to complete.
Standing on both sides of the square are statues of dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and other beasts. The ancient atmosphere is from the steps of the square to the sides of the road. That was the work of thousands of stonemasons who had been recruited during these years.
On the topmost square in the middle of the mountain, the Ministry of Rites has already set up a high platform.
According to Qin Tianjian's calculations, Qin Nuo led the royal family and civil and military officials to the square. There are many accompanying officials, but most of them are only three or four products, or the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Ritual are mostly idle. Because front-line fighting is urgent and North Korea is inseparable from people, Huo Donglai waits for the most important ministers to stay in Beijing, and Fan Wensheng, who is too old, can't stand the car and horse.
The imperial clan was complete, and there were not many people anyway.
After entering the square, Yan Qin welcomed him.
Qin Nuo raised his figure half-kneeled, Shen said, "Ten brothers don't have to be courteous, these days you work hard."
Qin Ze took the heavy responsibility of guarding the tomb of the emperor. After the collapse, it was also under heavy pressure that he presided over the repairs and other chores here. These days are extremely busy, and the hard work is really real.
"For the matter within the emperor, the emperor has not been held accountable for his previous failure to defend the toll, which is already magnanimous." Qin Ze smiled bitterly. These days, he rushes around the construction site of Huangling, rushing to work all night. Although he doesn't have to work in person, the wind and the sun are blowing. It is really darker than before.
"This matter has an external force, and you and I can redeem it. I can't distinguish between right and wrong and blame the brother." Qin Nuo took his hand.
Walked to the front of the royal family, beside Qin Xun. He then let go and let Qin Ze enter the clan team.
Everyone looked at it and knew that the emperor was going to restore the title of Prince of the King Yan.
Qin Ze was demoted to county king because of the collapse of the imperial tomb and inadequate guardianship. Now that the repair is complete, there is no major mistake, and it is reasonable to restore the title.
Qin Nuo continued to walk upwards. On the highest level of the altar in the square, only he and Empress Huo could board, and there were officials of the ceremony department who presided over the ceremony.
Qin Nuo stepped onto the high platform and stood here standing high, with the lower princes like a group of grazed lambs.
Qin Nuo was surrounded by Empress Huo, and a ceremony official was on the side of the platform to guide the ceremony.
Everything was solemn and solemn, and the morning wind blew across the mountains, occasionally bringing out subtle bird sounds.
The ceremony officer held up the jade saucer in his hand, and immediately, the simple and bright bell rang from a distance.
The ritual begins!
The ministers fell to their knees.
Qin Nuo also turned around and began to bow and worship in accordance with the lengthy etiquette. However, the moment he bent down and knelt down, the wooden board under his feet suddenly turned over.
Qin Nuo didn't even have a chance to scream, and the whole person disappeared directly on the altar.
Beside him, the queen mother Huo was unaware, and there was nothing strange about her figure kneeling down. Only the light in my eyes leaked my pride.
At the same time, from behind the altar, a figure turned lightly onto the high platform. He was neatly dressed in the crown of the emperor, not only his back, but even his appearance was similar to Qin Nuo's.
The whole process lasted only a blink of an eye, the erection of the ceremonial platform was very high, and the kneeling of sacrifices was a great gift. At this moment, even if the ministers are staring at the high platform, they will not find out what happened at that moment.
The only thing that could be found was the ceremonial officer who was also standing on the high platform. Unfortunately, the two ceremonial officers did not look at the center of the altar at all. They looked at the nose, nose, and heart, and continued to direct the ceremony mechanically.
The first bell toll was finally over.
The ministers got up from the long prostration, and at the end of the line of sight, the honorable figures of the emperor and queen queen still stood on the high platform and continued the ceremony.
