Chapter 771(1/2)
"Your Majesty issued an order to summon the Taoist monks and Taoists to create a water and land temple for the ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty that lasted for 774 to 49 days. I wonder if the princess is satisfied?"
Lord Cui from the Ministry of Rites pointed to the luxurious temple in front of him, and wanted to see the other party's reaction deep down.
Will you be ashamed?
Will you be angry and embarrassed?
Surely not satisfied.
After all, this temple comes from the "heart" of Emperor Beiliang.
Princess Pingyang ignored his words and looked at the tomb of the Emperor Zhongzong in front of him, his eyes were dim and unclear.
Lord Cui from the Ministry of Rites was a little disappointed.
He was unwilling to give up and reminded again: "Did the Empress have any instructions? Is there any place to replenish the water and land dojo?"
Xiao came to his senses and casually glanced at the luxurious dojo.
She doesn't care about anything.
Because the tomb in front of her did not bury her most caring relatives.
Here, it is just a form, a performance, for everyone in the world to watch.
"I have no objection to everything, Lord Cui is the one who decides."
Lord Cui from the Ministry of Rites thought about it for a while and smiled understandingly.
"My lady, don't worry, after finishing our work, take advantage of today's good days, Xiaguan will accompany the empress to the tomb of Prince Zhangyi in person."
"Mr. Cui is intent. No wonder Liu Zhang sent you to the scene. Do you really don't consider Pingyang County to take a look? I promise that it won't disappoint you."
Lord Cui from the Ministry of Rites lowered his head and smiled, his eyes a little funny.
He lowered his voice, "The lower official asked rashly, is the princess going north this time to worship ancestors or poach people?"
"Is there any conflict?" Xiao asked the other party.
He shook his head, "Of course there is no conflict. But... what kind of virtue is the subordinate, and he can actually catch the Empress's eyes."
"I didn't like you. You are willing to serve Liu Zhang, which shows that fame and fortune are quite important to you."
"Since the Empress looks down on me, why did she ask me to go to Pingyang County again and again?"
"It was my daughter who liked your talents. She often said that Bei Cui was trapped in the northern part of the country and dealt with Liu Zhang, which is a great regret. If there is a slight possibility, she should give her a chance.
Are you willing to do the job of welcoming and sending you off? Cui Wang, who is a few years away from you, is already a general in commanding the army and quelling the rebellion for the Emperor of Southern Wei. What are you doing in recent years?”
The previous part of these words is very touching.
The latter part is heart-pounding!
Moreover, I think it's not cruel enough to just pierce the heart, and I have to turn the hilt left and right to cause repeated damage.
Lord Cui, who had always had a warm smile on his face, couldn't hold back now and wanted to turn his back and leave with a smile.
He repeatedly reminded himself to keep in mind the tasks and errands and not to act voluntarily.
It was really not easy, so I suppressed my anger.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh, but he smiled reluctantly. "Thank you, the princess, for putting his heart in his heart, and refreshing his eyes."
Xiao's eyes clearly saw through everything.
She looked at him and said, "Don't force yourself. You blame me for being too talkative and dissatisfied with me. You can say it out loud. I am generous and will not care about you."
Lord Cui had an indescribable expression on his face.
He suddenly realized a fact that all the superiors were crazy, and none of them were normal people.
certainly……
No normal person can do those things, causing chaos in the world.
He really tried hard to maintain his demeanor and said with a smile: "The princess and the princess speaks quickly, and he is a ruthless official. The princess seems to be not very concerned about this ritual. It is better to start worshiping now and then rush to Prince Zhangyi's tomb so that he will not miss the auspicious time!
"Very good!"
This arrangement is very consistent with Xiao's wishes.
Lord Cui finally did something right, rolling his eyes was replaced by a kind smile.
At least he comforted him.
...
Xiao was not pious in sacrificing the imperial tombs, and even had some indifference.
As the monk and Taoist priest recited scriptures, his expression was a little erratic.
I almost made a mistake several times, but fortunately the nanny around me reminded me in time.
After completing the process in a hurry, it was still early, so I quickly took a carriage to Prince Zhangyi’s tomb.
The closer she got to the cemetery of her relatives, the more nervous she became, and her body became tense.
When she arrived at the place, she refused the ritual and refused the Beiliang officials to disturb him.
Just look from afar.
She wants to talk to her parents, brothers and sisters and relatives.
No one around me except a nanny is allowed to approach.
The nanny lights the candle.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
"Father and mother, daughter is unfilial, I will only come to visit you today. If you have spirits in heaven, you must know what happened over the years. The descendants of the Xiao family are incompetent and the royal family are incompetent. They have lost half of the country, the capital, and the... "
Once you open your mouth, you can't stop it anymore.
In front of her parents, she spoke freely, expressing all her anger and injustice over the years. She was disappointed with the royal family and herself...
She leaned against the tombstone and cried like a child. She told her parents all the grievances that they would make decisions for her.
The country is broken, but she can't do anything.
Such incompetence, and has accomplished nothing for many years, and has to live in the world. It is really a shame to see the ancestors and ancestors.
But……
I really felt guilty when I lost the imperial tomb and lost the qualification to worship.
After going through a lot of hardships and paying all kinds of prices, just to return to this land. With self-blame, I knelt down and apologized for crying.
From the sun was rising to the west, my tears were dry, my throat was hoarse, and my legs had long lost consciousness...
The nanny persuaded her again and again, and finally made her nod.
The nanny helped her up and staggered, and the master and servant almost fell down together.
The maid and servant came in the distance hurried over, and the guards carried the sedan chair and finally sent Xiao down the mountain.
Xiao lived near the imperial tomb.
She wants to guard her parents' grave for fourteen days and be filial.
"I don't know when the next worship is coming. Take advantage of the opportunity to stay for a few more days, just treat it as a peace of mind."
The nanny agreed, "What the Empress said is, should we stay for a few more days and hide for peace. I heard that Concubine Xue from the Beiliang Palace is coming and has set off on the road. I guess she will be here tomorrow and the next day. Concubine Xue must have come here to meet the princess.
I don’t know what kind of heart that woman is happy. I heard that she is an extremely powerful woman who has been favored for many years. Even Liu Baoshun can’t do anything to her.”
Xiao had no intention of caring about other people's affairs, "Don't worry about Concubine Xue and Concubine Zhu, Liu Zhang did not turn against Yun Ge in a day. In this Beiliang situation, anyone should be polite to this palace and give him a few slight face."
"What the Empress said is very much. The officials of the Northern Liang used to be the officials of the Great Wei and the people of the Great Wei. They must be guilty when they see the princess of the Great Wei. When the Concubine Xue comes, the Empress should not be too spoiled by the other party."
Xiao said "hmm", as if he accepted the nanny's opinion.
...
Two days later, Concubine Xue successfully arrived at the imperial tomb.
Countless people thought that there were probably many swords and swords along the way, and the assassins were ambushing. The result was calm and even a wild cat and dog were not encountered.
The Liu family has really changed their temperament. If they don’t play assassination, they will use court struggles?
hehe!
Whoever believes is stupid!
Due to the arrival of Concubine Xue, the pressure on guarding the imperial tombs increased sharply, and I was afraid of an accident.
Lord Cui from the Ministry of Rites is the most obsessed.
During his time as a job, he couldn't afford to take care of himself, no matter whether there was something wrong with Concubine Xue or Princess Pingyang Xiao.
He was nervous and full of vigilance. When he saw a person living in a relationship, he would ask someone to go up and interrogate him.
Every day, I am so anxious that I can’t sleep and eat well. The human eyes look haggard and the dark circles cannot cover them.
Seeing this, Xiao couldn't help but laugh at him, "What are you afraid of? No matter who you are, as long as you are not stupid, you will not attack during the meeting between me and Concubine Xue. There is no need to provoke another enemy. My daughter is suitable for being friends, not for being an enemy. Once she becomes an enemy, she will die. Your Majesty knows this best."
