After the banquet, Jiu Zhu saw that many officials were talking to His Royal Highness around the father, and secretly tugged his sleeve, and said in his ear with his toes: "His Royal Highness, my sister-in-law and sister-in-law will go outside the hall to watch the fireworks play."
"Okay." Yun Duqing saw that although her hand was tugging at his sleeve, her mind had already flown to the two sisters-in-law's side, so she took a light gauze cape and put it on her: "Don't go out to play for too long."
Jiuzhu smiled and nodded, lifted the hem of her long skirt, and ran down the steps, happy like a carefree bird.
The official who was talking to the prince saw that his eyes were following the prince, until the prince and the two princes walked out of the palace door, and then smiled and looked back, and knew that the prince's position in the prince's mind was extraordinary.
"His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess and his wife are deeply in love, which makes Wei Chen moved."
A prince who knows how to cherish affection is better than being cold-hearted.
Yun Duqing dismissed these officials in a few sentences, and sat down beside King Huai and King An with the jug in hand.
"Prince, you..."
"Two brothers still call my fifth brother to listen to it." Yun Duqing poured a glass of wine for each of them: "As the saying goes, brothers are of the same mind, and their profits will break the gold. No sir, help me block."
"Okay, no problem." An Wang responded enthusiastically.
King Huai sighed in the bottom of his heart, he knew that it was definitely not good for the fifth to get close to them automatically.
"Hey, fifth brother." He lightly bumped Yun Duqing with his elbow: "I think fifth brother and sister are pure and innocent, so you just stick to her like that?"
"Brother, do you know why I became a prince?" Yun Duqing took a wine glass, poured it on himself, and lightly toasted with King Huai: "She is holding the best heart for me, and I will take good care of this heart. Guard, guard, cherish."
"You can live up to her."
When the fireworks are in bloom, they are as bright as stars.
Jiuzhu looked at her in a daze, her smile sweet and contented.
"Jiuzhu." Princess Huai looked at Jiuzhu's profile, stood beside her, and blocked the other women's squinting eyes for her: "I didn't expect that you would appear with the prince."
In fact, what she wants to say is that it is best not to do such unruly things. Because the civil servants and courtiers will not accuse the prince of doing a bad job, but will only criticize the woman and accuse Jiuzhu of bewitching the prince.
"Because I know that he will be happy if I accompany His Highness to the high platform." Jiuzhu still looked up at the fireworks in the sky: "The higher you stand, the fewer people will be able to accompany him. I can't bear it."
"Reluctant to what?"
"I can't bear to be alone." Jiuzhu lowered her head and smiled at Princess Huai: "The moon in the sky is still accompanied by stars, why can't Your Highness?"
Hearing this, Princess Huai's heart trembled, and she opened her mouth to speak, but at the moment when the fireworks bloomed, she stopped all the words she wanted to say.
There are too many trade-offs in Beijing, and few people will say something like "because he needs it, so I gave it". Pure heart is a rare commodity in Beijing.
The fireworks spread out like thousands of meteors twinkling.
If the meteor can make people's wishes come true, I hope the prince will not lose this rare sincerity.
The ceremonial officer rang the bell, and the fireworks stopped.
The time is approaching, and the Prince's Ceremony has come to an end.
Jiu Zhu and her two sisters-in-law returned to the main hall. She saw Yun Duqing secretly beckoning to her, and took small steps to run to him and sit down. The two were shoulder-to-shoulder, their heads pressed together.
"Are the fireworks good-looking?" Yun Duqing poured a glass of juice and fed it to her mouth.
"It's beautiful." Jiuzhu drank it with his hand: "Sister-in-law said that she has been married to the palace for several years. This is the grandest firework ceremony she has ever seen."
When Emperor Longfeng saw the young couple leaning against each other and whispering, he coughed dryly and raised his glass: "The prince is still young, please help the prince with all your heart, and benefit the people of the world."
All the ministers stood up in unison, and congratulated Dacheng for ten thousand years, and the world was at peace.
The bell rang, and the day finally came to a successful conclusion.
The prince has been established, and it is inappropriate for other princes to live in the palace. Taking advantage of Emperor Longfeng's good mood, some officials proposed to let the prince move back to the palace and go back to the six divisions to practice.
These officials who made suggestions were all from aristocratic families. Emperor Longfeng glanced at the taciturn third son, King Jing, and nodded slightly: "Every gentleman is right..."
"Report!" A messenger walked in hurriedly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there was a sudden loud noise from the tomb in the western suburbs just now. After Jin Wuwei used a clairvoyant to investigate, he found that the tombstone in front of the Emperor's Mausoleum was broken!"
The happy atmosphere suddenly stagnated.
"It was fine just now, why did something bad happen when I asked other princes to return to the Sixth Division?" An official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly muttered in a low voice.
Just now, suddenly, clairvoyant, these words are trying desperately to tell everyone that this matter has nothing to do with the prince.
Although his voice was small, everyone could hear him clearly because the Zhengyang Hall was too quiet.
Qin Tianjian stood up in the eyes of everyone: "Your Majesty, since the late emperor has indicated, why not postpone the plan to let a few princes return to the Sixth Division?"
When the Prince's Banquet was canonized, the stars and the moon were shining together, and the auspicious signs were repeated. Just after the canonization of the crown prince banquet was over, when several other princes were mentioned, the tombstone of the late emperor was cracked. What does this mean
It means that there is no problem with the prince, and the problem is one of the princes.
"Then according to what the supervisor said, this matter will be postponed." Emperor Longfeng smiled gently: "It seems that the emperor also knows that I am reluctant to leave a few children by my side, so let them stay by my side for a longer time."
All the ministers said yes, but looking at the eyes of several princes, there was still something wrong.
Wei Jieyu almost broke the wine glass in her hand, and the banquet was dispersed. She walked behind the concubines and concubines and turned to look at Du Qingke who was standing under the corridor, her eyes filled with coldness.
It was a good idea to blow up the tombstone in front of the emperor's mausoleum at the canonization of the prince's banquet, to show that the canonization of Yunduqing as the prince was a bad omen, and then take the opportunity to let the princes return to the palace and walk to the six divisions to plan for the future.
As a result, the ominous omen did indeed happen, but the timing was stuck at the moment when His Majesty promised to let the three princes go back to Liubu.
Is Du Qingke trying to help her, or is it an undercover agent sent by Su Meidai
"Mother concubine." King Jing walked beside her and held her arm: "My son will send you back to the palace."
Princess Jing let go of Wei Jieyu's hand and paused slightly, one step behind the mother and son.
"Du Qingke is unreliable." Wei Jieyu whispered to King Jing, "I suspect that he is pretending to cooperate with us and confuse us, so that Yun Duqing can successfully confer the crown prince."
If it weren't for the fact that she and Huang'er were both in the harem and couldn't interfere in many things, how could she leave such matters to Du Qingke.
If it wasn't for fear of exposure, she wouldn't have waited until yesterday to tell Du Qingke the plan. She originally thought that with the strength of the Du family, it only took a few hours to do such a trivial matter, and she did not expect such a big mistake.
Yun Duqing didn't get in the way, but smashed his own foot, what a Du Qingke!
Wei Jieyu was trembling with anger, but in front of everyone, she had to keep a polite and decent smile.
He Du Qingke is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust!
After finishing his work, the housekeeper of Du's house was caught by Jin Wuwei on the way back.
It was Yu Jian who caught him. Yu Jian's neighbor when he was a child owned a fireworks workshop, so he was very sensitive to the smell of fireworks. The housekeeper of the Du residence and a few confidants passed by him on horseback, and he smelled the smell and stopped them with a knife.
"Master, this is the housekeeper of Du's house. I just came back from doing errands out of town." The housekeeper of Du's house took out his waist badge and other records of entering the city from other prefectures and counties.
Yu Jian took the waist badge and handed it to the brother behind him, walked to the horse's side, and took off some petals from the horse's tail that had been stained at some point.
If he remembers correctly, there are most of these flowers outside the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs.
Legend has it that this flower was brought to the world by the blue bird in front of the throne of the Queen Mother of the West from Yaochi. The royal family believed that as long as the mausoleum was filled with this kind of flower, the soul would be brought back to the sky by the blue bird and become an immortal.
"The road to Beijing from other places probably won't pass through the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs." Yu Jian packed the petals in a cloth bag and waved her hand: "Take the person away."
"My lord, I'm the housekeeper of the Du family. If you take us away indiscriminately, you won't be afraid that the Du family will trouble you?"
"The head of the Du family, Lao Tzu, has been arrested, so are you afraid that you are a housekeeper?" Yu Jian sneered: "I suspect that you have something to do with the destruction of the tombstone of the late emperor. Before the case is cleared up, you should stay in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison."
If there is no thunder and no rain, how can the tombstone explode as soon as it is bombed? They Jinwuwei do not engage in superstition.
Today is a good day for King Chen to confer the crown prince, and it is inevitable that some people will hide and do some shameful means, so this morning, he brought Jinwuwei's only clairvoyant tube with him.
Unexpectedly, there is really a great contribution to his eyes.
Such a great achievement, if he doesn't stand up, he will be sorry for the treasure clairvoyant around his waist.
"Not only people, but horses too. Take off their shoes and coats and check carefully to see where they have passed."
If you can't be the lackey in front of the palace of the King Chen, or the lackey in the Prince Zhan's residence, it will be more beautiful.
"Father, you said about the broken tombstone of the late emperor..."
"Naturally it's man-made." Ming Jingzhou sat on the rickety carriage, and there was nothing respectful in his tone: "I have many Ming monarchs in the Dacheng Dynasty. If there is any warning, it will also be the tombstones of other emperors cracked. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible. It's him."
Ming Jiyuan was silent.
That being said, it makes sense.
If it is artificial, these people may not dare to bomb the tombstones of other emperors, but the first emperor is different. He was lustful and incompetent. If he bombed his tombstone, not only the royal people would not be too angry, maybe they would not even investigate. Will check carefully.
"Who is helping His Royal Highness then?"
The fifth prince has just become the prince, and the other princes are not good for the prince. As soon as this happened, whether it was man-made or an omen, His Majesty would not be able to let them return to the Sixth Division, and it would be difficult for other officials to continue to bring it up.
"I can't... Was it your Majesty's own doing?" Ming Jiyuan swallowed. In order to pave the way for the Crown Prince, is His Majesty being too... "filial"
Ming Jingzhou coughed dryly: "Don't talk nonsense, your majesty is filial and kind, it is impossible to do such a thing."
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Ming's house, Ming Jiyuan got off the carriage and was about to stretch out his hand to help Ming Jingzhou when he saw two Taoists in green robes sitting at the door.
The Taoist woman sitting on the steps held a huge steamed bun in her hands and ate it with relish. Seeing their father and son getting off the carriage, they all looked up.
"Two Taoists, I don't know where they came from?" Shen Ying got down from a carriage at the back, walked in front of the two Taoists, and gave them a slight blessing: "It's already dark, if the two Taoists don't dislike it, please Follow me to the cold house to rest?"
Ever since Jiuzhu came back, the Ming family has been very enthusiastic towards Taoists.
"Alright." The master put the steamed buns into the hands of the second master, stood up and patted the ashes behind the robe: "If there is hot water, let us take a bath first."
"Yes, yes." Shen Ying was stunned for a moment: "Master, please come with me."
"Thank you very much, you have worked hard." Grandfather walked into the gate of Ming's house, glanced around, nodded and praised: "Your house is upright and clean, it is a blessed home."
"Many thanks to the Taoist priest for your praise." Shen Ying smiled and thanked: "I don't know where the two Taoist priests are practicing in Xianju?"
The master took a step: "Forgot to tell Madam that we are Jiuzhu's Taoist masters. The two of us don't pay attention to the name of the Taoist. Jiuzhu has always been called the master and the second master. Bar."
"It turned out to be the two immortals." Shen Ying stopped, and Ming Jingzhou and Ming Jiyuan also stepped forward.
"The grace of saving life is unforgettable in the Ming family. Please let the two immortals accept our worship." Ming Jingzhou lifted his robe and was about to bow down to the two priests.
"Master Ming, the two of us have a relationship with Jiuzhu, you don't have to do this." The master's father supported Ming Jingzhou and Shen Ying alone, but there was no force on his wrists, but the couple couldn't kneel down.
"You are the people of the world. You are upright and unyielding, and you were sent to a place of bitter cold and separated from your daughter. God asked us to save Jiuzhu because of your kindness, not our work." The master's father said lightly: "If you worship us Two people, we can only represent the people of the world and worship you."
"What's more, the appearance of Jiuzhu has also brought us a lot of joy. We give her growth, she gives us happiness, and no one owes anyone."
"Yes." Ming Jingzhou understood the meaning of the avenue chief, and after she let go of herself, he gave her a deep bow.
"I just watched the stars, and Jiuzhu's life has changed." Seeing that the Ming family was interested, the chief Daoist continued to kneel and bowed without being sticky, and nodded with satisfaction: "What happened today that is very important to Jiuzhu?"
"Returning to the Great Immortal, today is the day when His Majesty canonized the crown prince. The crown prince is Jiuzhu's husband, Yun Duqing."
"So it is." Daochang looked up at the starry sky and smiled for a moment: "If we knew this, we would not have to go to Beijing."
Shortly after Jiuzhu returned to Beijing, she deduced nine times for Jiuzhu's life chart, and every time she showed that Jiuzhu would have a fate this year.
But she squatted at the gate of Ming's house today and speculated again, and found that the fate of the disaster disappeared, but it was the appearance of extravagance.
In this capital, she didn't want to stay any longer.
White ran.
