Nan Yan stared at the tower with wide eyes in shock.
Zhu Feng said: "So there can't be any fireworks here."
"So that's how it is."
Nanyan looked at the tall tower, she had just glanced at it when she walked over, and now she has the opportunity to observe it carefully.
This nine-storey tower is very tall, with eight walls, and there are two huge windows on each wall. Although it is made of wood, it is decorated with colorful glazed tiles, which make the tower colorful. It looks extraordinarily gorgeous.
Moreover, on the high tower, there was a long-burning lamp lit at each corner. Nan Yan calculated that there were probably hundreds of lamps.
Nan Yan said softly: "Your Majesty."
"Um?"
"Those ever-burning lights—"
Zhu Feng also looked up, was silent for a while, and said: "This pagoda is not used for other purposes. It is only used to enshrine the relics of the late emperor and queen mother. These ever-burning lamps are all lit for them."
"..."
"Hope to illuminate the..."
Having said that, he didn't go on.
But looking at his complicated expression, Nan Yan could faintly feel that his mood must be very entangled at the moment.
To light their way, or to light his way
How did he feel about Emperor Gao, and about Empress Chen Chen who was not his biological mother
Feeling the entanglement in Zhu Feng's heart at this moment, Nan Yan didn't ask any more questions.
After being silent for a long time, she kept looking at the Chong'en Pagoda, and said softly: "This pagoda is really beautiful. I have traveled all over the world with the emperor all these years, and I have never seen anything more beautiful than this pagoda."
"oh?"
"If you don't call it Chong'en Pagoda, you can call it the No. 1 Pagoda in the World!"
Zhu Feng was originally in a heavy mood, but when he heard her bragging, he couldn't help but smile.
"You, don't follow those people's flattery."
Although Nanyan's flattering was blunt, if others flattered like this, he would have been angry long ago, but hearing her say that, it was a different feeling, the reprimand was reprimanded, but he felt comfortable in his heart.
Nan Yan also smiled, looked at the tower again, and asked: "Your Majesty, can I go in and have a look?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng suppressed the smile on his face, shook his head and said, "No."
"Why?"
"I have already decided that this tower will only be opened every year during sacrificial offerings, and only I can enter it."
"..."
"Even if the grand ceremony will be held later, I will be the only one who will send in the relics of the late emperor and queen mother."
"..."
Looking at his eyes, Nanyan understood a little.
He needs to spend time alone with his parents.
During that time, he didn't want anyone to disturb him, and he didn't need anyone to share with him.
So, nodded and said: "I know."
"..."
"The concubine is outside, waiting for the emperor to come out."
"Well," Zhu Feng nodded, pointing to the pergola built in front of him, the white veil was being blown up by the wind, and he suddenly looked, feeling as if he was in a fairyland, and said: "You can stay here for a while. Stay there obediently, if the weather is still hot, stay in the side hall and don't come out."
Nan Yan said: "How can a concubine be so delicate?"
"You are not delicate, the child is delicate."
Zhu Feng glared at her: "Don't forget, you are not alone now, no matter what you do, you must first think about your child."
"Your Majesty, you are really long-winded."
Nan Yan was already so annoyed by his mother-in-law, she turned impatiently and walked towards the side hall, she might as well listen to those concubines making noise inside.
Looking at her back, Zhu Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Stepping forward, he grabbed her hand.
Nan Yan tilted her head and looked at him.
Zhu Feng said: "This is our child, the child I have been looking forward to for so long, I must let him be born safely."
The weather was already hot, and the two of them clasped their fingers together, and Nan Yan could feel the heat of his palm even more.
He was looking forward to it too much.
However, it is also conceivable that since his first pregnancy, he has been looking forward to having a son belonging to the two of them. Unfortunately, God failed. Now, God finally gave them a second chance .
In fact, the same is true in her heart.
So, she smiled at him gently: "I know."
The two of them walked towards the side hall.
As soon as he reached the door, before he could go in, a young eunuch ran up behind him and said a few words to Eunuch Yu.
Eunuch Yu nodded, and then came forward: "Your Majesty."
"Um?"
Zhu Feng stopped and looked back at him.
He leaned over and said: "It's almost time, people from all walks of life who came to observe the ceremony have also arrived at the Da Ci'en Temple, the emperor can go there to change clothes."
Nan Yan turned her head and saw that in the side hall on the other side, someone was already waiting there.
The opening ceremony of the Great Mercy Temple and Chong'en Pagoda today is not only the students of Zhujian Academy who will come to offer tributes, but more importantly, Zhu Feng himself. He also said just now that he is the only one who can enter the Chong'en Pagoda. , so the link in the center of the ritual is him.
He will naturally put on a grand dress.
Nan Yan said: "Your Majesty, do you want my concubine to accompany you there?"
Zhu Feng shook his head: "No need, you go to the arbor first. Remember, if it's too hot or too tired, come back and rest right away."
"Know it."
Since she became pregnant, this man who used to be a horse-riding man has turned into a nagging old woman.
Seeing her impatient look, Zhu Feng could only shake his head, turned around and walked to another side hall.
When he walked away, Ran Xiaoyu stepped forward and held Nan Yan's arm.
"Ma'am, let's go over there."
There are already people waiting by the arbor.
Nan Yan nodded, and walked over with her support. The location here is not bad, not only is it a pergola, but also just under the shade of a tree. Although you can't see the high platform, the situation in this large open space , can still be seen at a glance.
Nan Yan immediately saw that the surrounding open spaces were already full of people.
He came to watch the ceremony.
I heard before that the opening ceremony of the Daci'en Temple and Chong'en Pagoda was very grand this time. Zhu Feng ordered all the celebrities from Jiangnan to come. Originally, this was the place where rumors spread the most. Coupled with the relocation of the capital to Beiping and the northward shift of the political center, it is inevitable that some people here will fluctuate.
This grand ceremony is a good opportunity to gather people's hearts.
Nan Yan was sitting in the shed, drinking tea, and heard some people whispering in the wind—
"The emperor built this pagoda specially for the late emperor and empress, and enshrined their relics. It seems that the previous rumors are all false."
"That's hard to say."
"But those rumors came from some academies. Do you know who the master in the academies is?"
"who is it?"
"Look, here he comes!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's heart couldn't help shaking, and she hurriedly turned her head away.
