Chapter 123, I want to share a piece of the pie
The "Lingyan Mountain" mentioned in the emperor's decree is not the one near Mudu Ancient Town.
During the first southern tour, Wanxi also went up to the Lingyan Mountain with Dajia, saw the ruins of Xiangwa Pavilion left by King Fuchai of Wu, and told the story of Xi Shi. Before and after, the emperor gave Hang Luo "Qi Luo" to Wanxi, and repeated the allusion of Xi Shi's "prostitute for the world".
This is about Lingyan Temple on the northern foot of Mount Tai in Shandong.
The mountains here are particularly beautiful and the scenery is beautiful. Wang Shizhen, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, said that "Lingyan is the most secluded place on the back of Mount Tai. If you can travel to Mount Tai, you will not be able to travel."
Such a quiet and beautiful place, and with the protection of Buddhism, is the most suitable place for Wanxi to rest.
Moreover, the emperor also left Prince Jian Qitong, who led the officers and soldiers and followed the Empress Dowager's camp to walk. It was not that he stayed here and did not leave, but that he slowed down his daily itinerary to cooperate with Wanxi's body to recuperate and slowly return to Beijing.
The emperor set off for Beijing the next day, leaving a harem to accompany Wanxi, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Nara sighed, "So what if it is Empress Xiaoxian? Empress Xiaoxian suffered a cold wind on the top of Mount Tai and went down the mountain to rest in Jinan for a few days. As a result, the emperor served as the Empress Dowager's Holy Deportivo, and took the harem to visit Baotu Spring and Daming Lake... He traveled outside every day, and did not accompany Empress Xiaoxian in the palace."
"But now, even I, the queen of the palace and the empress dowager, have to stay with you!"
"It was later that Empress Xiaoxian died on the boat in the middle of the night. The emperor also asked the ministers of the king to escort the empress dowager back to the capital first, for fear that the empress dowager would be tired... But this time, hehe, in the emperor's heart, it doesn't matter whether the empress dowager is tired or not."
Tana also said sadly, "Concubine Ling is only the concubine after all, and even if her body needs to be maintained, she will leave behind Concubine Chun, or Concubine Qing, and Concubine Ying. Why bother asking the master to stay, let alone the empress dowager... This is too unruly."
Nara shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's not in accordance with the rules, haha... Look, what's the matter related to Concubine Ling? Since she entered the palace, the emperor put her in the queen's harem, and wanted her to start with a Han surname from Xinzheku as a first nobleman! Seventeen years ago, this rule had long disappeared; not to mention that she was just a little girl who could not be favored and was less than fourteen years old!"
Dege glanced at Nara's eyes, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Nara looked up at her, "What's wrong?"
Dege stepped forward and saluted, "...But now, there are more than Concubine Ling in the harem."
"Besides, along the way, Xinpin was favored alone. Maybe the emperor issued this imperial edict for Xinpin."
Nara smiled, "Oh, she has said this herself? She really doesn't want to be lonely."
"Yes, Concubine Ling is in her thirty years old. She has just passed by twenty years. She has two princes in her four years since she entered the palace. So she forgot who she is."
Dege pursed his lips and dared not speak.
After all, Xinpin lived in the Nara Palace. On the way to the southern tour, Nara originally served the Empress Dowager and was not with Xinpin. However, at this moment, even the Empress Dowager had to come back to accompany Wanxi, so the Empress and Xinpin had to live back to the same yard.
