Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 51
When the dragon and phoenix chariots of the emperor and empress gathered at Xihua Gate, Yun Qing got off the sedan chair and saw that Xuanyuan Yi had already arrived there early. The white horse stood at the gate of the palace, and when he saw her surprised gaze, a smile could not help but bloom on the corner of his lips.

"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"The ministers are waiting to see the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old!"

"The ministers are waiting to see the queen, the empress is a thousand years old!"

The accompanying guards in the palace and the imperial guards who had already stood outside the palace immediately separated the inside and outside of the palace gate in an orderly manner. Their movements were neat and orderly, which made the eyes of the queen mother who had just got off the sedan chair brighten, and she couldn't help but give Yun Qing a thumbs up glance.

All the ministers waiting at the gate of the palace knelt down to greet them when they saw the queen mother and the emperor arriving. After the queen mother and the emperor boarded the carriages respectively, all the ministers got into their sedan chairs and stood guard on both sides together. Next, Qi Qi walked towards Huangjue Temple.

Yun Qing gently opened the sedan chair curtain, and saw that the people on both sides of the street were all separated within a certain safety line by the Imperial Forest Army on both sides. Although some people would look up curiously, most of the people still bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to casually Peep at the holy face.

At the front of the team, Murong Qian led a group of first-class guards to escort the way, and specially strengthened the guards in front of and behind the empress dowager and the emperor's body.Yun Qing was very satisfied, everything was carried out according to what she and Murong Qian agreed on that day.

Not far away, the Prime Minister's Mansion, where he lived for more than ten years, jumped into Yun Qing's eyes. At this time, some passers-by and servants in the mansion were also kneeling outside the mansion. Yun Qing looked at the extremely familiar Yun Mansion, but there was nothing in his heart. a feeling of.

If she still misses Yun Mansion even now, it is the Hundred Gardens that she and Bi Tao took care of, is it still there?
Gradually further away, the spring scenery that greeted Yun Qing's eyes became more and more intense.Spring is coming to an end, and the weather is getting warmer and hotter day by day. Yun Qing looks at the more and more lush avenues in front of him, and listens to the singing of birds around him, feeling lighthearted.

Although Huangjue Temple is located in Tiancheng, its location is close to the outskirts, because this temple is specially dedicated to members of the royal family to worship Buddha every year, so its scenery and architecture are very unique and pleasant.

Surrounded by large bamboo forests and trees in the front and back of the temple, the tall and solemn treasure hall is faintly visible from a distance among the green trees.

Not far away, the sound of chanting scriptures pierced through the trees and spread into the ears of everyone, making people feel refreshed amidst the slightly drowsy jolting of the carriages and horses.Many people lifted the car curtains and looked out of the window, and the green eyes came into view immediately.

"Lao Nahui sincerely welcomes the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress! May the emperor live forever! The empress dowager is a thousand years old, and the empress is a thousand years old! Amitabha!"

"Master, no courtesy!" After the emperor and others got out of the car, the abbot, Master Huixin, who was waiting outside the temple, saluted the three of them together with all the elders and disciples. With Fang Fei's support, she slowly stepped up the steps.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Master Huixin was full of compassion. When he saw the Empress Dowager entering the temple, he stood sideways, allowing the emperor and the Empress Dowager to enter first.

Yun Qing stood beside Xuanyuan Ze in a Dharma hall surrounded by burning incense. After the Empress Dowager cleansed her hands and offered incense to the Buddha, she stepped forward with Xuanyuan Ze, held the incense in front of her chest, and listened to Master Huixin's soft prayer.Then raised the incense and raised eyebrows, under the guidance of the master, the emperor and the empress together offered incense to pray for the fortune of the country and the people.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come with the poor monk!" The incense ceremony of the ministers in the main hall was still going on, and the Empress Dowager followed Master Huixin to the Zen room to listen to the scriptures and chant the Buddha, and Yun Qing and Xuanyuan Ze went to the cabinet under the leadership of the Zen master Kneel and listen to the Buddhist mantra to show the sincerity of the emperor and empress for the country and the people. May the Buddha bless Tianque to prosper and prosper.

Kneeling and listening to the Buddhist scriptures all morning with no desires, when Yun Qing stood up, her feet went numb, and she almost lost her composure and tripped over the hem of the skirt behind her. gave her a hand.

"Thank you!" Yun Qing hurriedly stood up, and under Xuanyuan Ze's indifferent gaze, withdrew his hands in embarrassment, trying to wait for his feet to recover from numbness before leaving.

Her eager avoidance of him and the gentle smile on her face are obviously different from the natural smile she gave to Yidi outside the Xihua Gate.Xuanyuanze's palms tightened, and he stretched out his hands somewhat unhappily, pulling her to his side involuntarily, and led her to the door.

Yun Qing staggered, and the moment his wrist was pulled up by him, her body had already involuntarily bumped towards him, but Xuanyuan Ze didn't seem to notice, and still took her in big strides.

Bi Tao and the others who were waiting outside the door were slightly taken aback when they saw the emperor pulling the young lady out together, and then quietly followed the two of them to the Zhaitang.

"The emperor is out!" He Ruowan, who had nothing else to do, listened to the monks in the hall for a while, and then walked around. At this time, someone announced that the fasting meal was about to start, and she quickly came to the corridor of the hall. Waiting for Xuanyuan Ze, wanting to sit with him.

But when she saw the emperor holding Yun Qing's hand, her beautiful eyes sank immediately, and she felt a little unhappy.

However, her unhappiness was only a flash, and after a pause, a smile quickly appeared on her face, and she walked forward with a light smile.

"Wan'er is pregnant, so she should sit and rest more. What are you doing standing here?" Xuanyuan Ze glanced at her indifferently, and when Yun Qing was trying to pull it out, he grabbed it hard, causing Yun Qing's beautiful eyebrows to twitch Wrinkled, it was a little painful to be grasped by him.

"Wan'er is not tired. Wan'er wants to wait for the emperor to come out and go to the fasting room together." He Ruowan said, then walked gently to Xuanyuanze's side, raised her hand to take Xuanyuanze's arm, with a soft smile on her face .

That coquettish expression made the monks on both sides lower their heads and dare not look at each other, and it also made Xuanyuanze's handsome eyes sink, and his complexion darkened even more.

But Yun Qing's face was reddish, thinking that he and others were chattering in the Buddha Gate, it was really indecent.

But that person insisted on not letting go, her face couldn't help but flushed even more red, she was just about to find some excuse to get rid of this embarrassment, but she heard Xuanyuan Ze speak again, and said coldly: "How can Wan'er be so willful, if she is tired What can I do if my body is broken? Ning'er, hurry up and help your master, if Concubine Hua has any physical discomfort, can you people bear it?"

He Ruowan's face turned pale, and she raised her head stiffly to look at the indifferent man beside her, the astonishment in her eyes made her stay on the spot for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's better to let the slaves help you!" Ning'er on the side also felt his heart skip a beat. Seeing the pale Concubine Hua, he quickly ran forward to support her, and said softly.

As soon as she let go of her hand, He Ruowan had never lost her composure like this time.She didn't expect that the emperor would treat her as indifferently as if facing a stranger, with no emotion in his eyes or voice.

Yun Qing was also surprised, he did not expect that he would treat Concubine Hua like this, but in a flash, his body was pulled up by him again, and he walked forward past He Ruowan.

"Don't your majesty feel that you are too much?" When she turned a corner and gradually avoided the eyes of the people behind her, the dissatisfaction she had been holding back for a long time finally made Yun Qing angrily glared at the people around her, and then she desperately Struggling to shake off his hand.

She was angry, he is an emperor, he can pet whoever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants!But how could he be so ruthless and indifferent to a woman he once loved deeply.

What's more, that woman is still pregnant with his child, how could he have the heart to make her sad?
"Is the queen not too much? I am the emperor, but you have rejected me time and time again. Could it be that I can't even touch your hand now?" His heart fluctuated slightly, and he thought of her smile at Xuanyuan Yi and her rejection of himself, It was like a fire was burning in my heart.

He just pulled her like this, and she was so uncomfortable?

"Is the emperor angry with Yun Qing? But why did the emperor vent his anger on your most beloved person! What's more, she is still pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed in her belly!" Yun Qing's expression was also uneasy. He was so good-looking, he ignored Xiao Taohong who was already catching up behind him, and looked at him fixedly with an angry look on his face.

The last time he treated Concubine Hua so indifferently had already made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and she could turn a blind eye to the fact that he had summoned newcomers for three nights in a row; but, she didn't want to see him treat Concubine Hua like that because of herself again.

"It's because she was my most beloved woman! It's because she's still pregnant with my child, so I..." Xuanyuanze's eyes dimmed, and the troubles that had been accumulated in his heart almost made him blurt out his love for Wan'er. dissatisfaction.

When the words came to his lips, he woke up in a timely manner, and hurriedly stopped his mouth, but there was a pain in his eyes that Yun Qing couldn't understand: "Yun Qing, you don't understand my troubles at all...you don't understand, my heart…"

After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at her, and in those clear eyes, he saw his gloominess.

As soon as he let go, he finally let go of her, then tightened his palms, turned around, and left alone.

Yun Qing's heart trembled, looking at his desolate and lonely back, suddenly there was a small gap in the bottom of her heart, and she felt a little pain.

"Miss..." Bi Tao and Xiao Taohong looked worried, looking at Yun Qing who was a little dazed, it was rare to see Miss with such a dazed expression.

The two looked at each other, wondering what happened to Miss these days?I saw her arguing with the emperor so disrespectfully just now, it's not like a young lady at all.

"Let's go!" Hearing Bi Tao's soft call, Yun Qing blinked and slowly recovered.

For the following vegetarian meal, Yun Qing ate but tasteless.Although they are all the famous vegetarian dishes of Huangjue Temple, she was absent-minded, and she seemed to have never heard the exquisite words of the queen mother who praised the vegetarian food here.

After fasting, as in previous years, Master Huixin led all the ministers to pay homage to all the Buddhist halls and Zen pavilions in Huangjue Temple, and then everyone gathered in the main hall again, and the queen mother handed over the royal alms to Master Huixin. Huangjue Temple continues to do good deeds for the royal family, accumulate blessings for the Tianque Kingdom, and pray for peace and prosperity for all the people in the world.

When Yun Qing returned to the palace, it was already evening.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the journey today. She felt very tired, but she was still grateful for the smooth sailing today.

After hastily eating dinner, Yun Qing lay down on the bed early to rest after taking a bath.In the past few days, she has been busy with this and that, and it is rare to relax at this time, but she is too tired to move anymore.Yun Qing was lying on the bed alone, although she was very tired, she didn't feel sleepy.

For some reason, she always couldn't help but think of Xuanyuan Ze's hesitant expression towards her in the monastery during the day, and always think of his "Yun Qing", which seemed to have infinite affection.

Judging by his expression, he seemed to be in pain, hesitant, and uneasy.

What is he suffering, and what is he bothered about?If there is anything she doesn't understand about his feelings for Concubine Hua, it is his rapid change.

Could it be that his change was because he saw the true face of Concubine Hua?Could it be that what he is hesitating about is how he should face her?
Yun Qing's heartbeat suddenly became irregular, and she remembered that when he was playing chess with her in the imperial garden, he was still so determined to find out who was behind the assassination.

His expression didn't look like he was talking casually at all, but after Concubine Hua became pregnant, he didn't move any more.

She suddenly understood that he seemed to have discovered something.

That's why he was so indifferent when facing Concubine Hua; that's why he hesitated like that when he learned that she was pregnant with a child...

But why is he so weird to himself?
Yun Qing...he didn't call himself "Queen", nor did he call himself "you and me".He actually called her name so naturally, so naturally, she didn't realize that this name was abnormal at the time...

"Huh!" Shaking his head lightly, Yun Qing didn't let himself think about anything about him.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Gently turning over, Yun Qing forced herself not to think about these annoying things anymore, but she always thought of that person from time to time, and remembered the emotion in his eyes that she couldn't ignore when he turned and left alone today.

"I also hope that my infatuation is only given to one person!" His words kept running into his mind that night. When he said these words, his eyes looked at her so affectionately, not the concubine Hua she thought.

"How could this be?" Yun Qing suddenly panicked, she sat up suddenly, reached out to touch the pillow, and only when she touched the cold jade flute, her heart calmed down slightly.

In the darkness, she tightly held the jade pendant engraved with the word "wind", and gently outlined the word "wind" with her fingertips. She gently pressed the jade pendant to her face and sighed softly.

She thought that her relationship with Feng was the most beautiful relationship in the world.It's a pity that, due to fate, she and him missed this life.

It's useless to go straight to lovesickness, but melancholy is madness.alas, the wind...

Silently reciting Feng's name, recalling the beautiful days when he met and fell in love with her; the sweet and pure one always made her miss it again and again, fascinated and heartbroken again and again.
