Half a month after returning to Beijing, Zhu Yunxuan and Liang Zhen took Min'er to Yuanji Temple.
When they arrived at the place, they first went to the back mountain to burn incense for Liang Zhen's parents. Liang Zhen did not move his father's place, but buried Xiao Junbo's body together with his father's. Finally got to reunite. The former simple and unnamed tomb was refurbished, a stele was erected and a ceremony was performed, and the troubles of the past were completely over.
Lunch was a vegetarian meal at Yuanji Temple, and after the meal they took Min'er to the Buddhist hall to listen to the old abbot's chanting.
In the past few years, Zhu Yunxuan often came here when he was upset, and calmly listened to the old abbot reciting a Buddhist scripture, forcing himself to get rid of the distracting thoughts that haunted him all the time. Now that time has passed, and sitting here with Liang Zhen again, his state of mind has changed drastically.
The bad things in the past have become the good things now, and the things that he hesitated in the past have now been decided, and there is no moment that makes him feel more at ease than now.
Min'er sat among them, and the little child sat cross-legged on the futon, calmly, imitating his father and father, listening carefully to the old abbot's chanting.
I just had a full meal in the afternoon and it was the time when I was sleepy. The child soon couldn't stand it anymore, his eyelids began to fight, and his head lowered unconsciously, bit by bit, and occasionally woke up with a jerk, sat up straight, secretly Wipe off the saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, turn around to look at his father and then at his father. Seeing that they are all silent in their own thoughts, they dare not make a sound. They stare at the old abbot with bewildered eyes, and soon start to peck at rice again. doze off.
When the old abbot opened his eyes after reciting the scriptures, the child had already leaned on Zhu Yunxuan's lap, and fell asleep completely, his face was flushed, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Zhu Yunxuan explained with some embarrassment: "Xiao'er is too young to hold on, master forgive me."
"It doesn't matter," the old abbot's eyes fell on Yu'er, he looked at it quietly for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is kind, and the crown prince is also a blessed man."
Hearing Daddy's voice, Min'er woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and sat up, Liang Zhen smiled and helped him rub the half of his face where the mark was on, and asked the old abbot: "Do you really think this child Blessed?"
The benevolent old abbot looked at Min'er, and sighed softly: "The sufferings that the prince suffered in his childhood are over, and he will be safe in the future, you two don't worry."
Zhu Yunxuan let go of the big stone in his heart. The child didn't understand what the old abbot was saying, but just looked at him in a daze. Read a scripture.
Zhu Yunxuan didn't ask any more questions, and personally helped Min'er hang the amulet around his neck.
Coming out of the Buddhist hall, a family of three walked around the temple. It was early autumn, and the temple was full of ginkgo and red maple. Looking around, the ground was full of fiery red and golden yellow, which complemented each other, which was really beautiful.
Mi'er stepped on the thick fallen leaves, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, and she didn't feel sleepy at all. From time to time, she picked up a piece or two that looked good and put them in her arms carefully, saying that she was waiting for Daddy and the others to come. To send them.
Zhu Yunxuan touched his son's face, smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, later on, Dad will ask someone to soak it in medicine for you, so the leaves won't wither."
"Really?"
"real."
Liang Zhen sighed with a smile: "No wonder the old abbot said he is blessed, so many people love him, his life is indeed good."
Zhu Yunxuan's eyes flickered for a moment, he stopped, raised his eyes to look at Liang Zhen, and asked hesitantly: "When you left Beijing, did you come here to light an ever-burning lamp for Xiao'er?"
Liang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips: "You know?"
"Well, before leaving the capital, I came here to do something for my mother. I wanted to light a lamp for Xiao'er to keep him safe. The old abbot said that someone had already lit a lamp for him."
Looking back now, maybe it was because he knew about this that he was so soft-hearted towards Liang Zhen, even though it was originally Liang Zhen's job.
"What's the matter, what I should do," Liang Zhen said indifferently, and had no intention of going on, he picked up Min'er in one hand, and took Zhu Yunxuan's hand, "Let's go, go up and have a look."
When you climb up the tower, you can see the villa at the foot of the back mountain. Liang Zhen had already inherited his father's title, and before returning to Beijing, Zhu Yunxuan had decreed to return his former mansion, together with this Zhuangzi, to him. Like this Yuanji Temple, Zhuangzili is full of ginkgo and red maple. Looking down from a height, it looks like a pavilion with a canopy, and the soup spring water is hidden in it, and the smoke curls up, which has a special charm.
Min'er was lying on Liang Zhen's shoulder, staring straight at her eyes. It's a pity that the wedding ceremony will be held in a few days, and there are still many things to prepare, otherwise they can stay here for two days.
Thinking of some things from the past, Zhu Yunxuan smiled a little, Liang Zhen seemed to see what he was thinking, and tilted his head to wink with him: "If you don't have a chance this time, come back next time when you have time, if you want to come If it is any time, we can stay here for a few more days in winter."
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
After returning to the palace, the Minister of Rites came to ask for an interview, presented the schedule of the wedding and the empress ceremony, and carefully asked them if there was anything else that needed to be revised.
Liang Zhen picked up the memorabilia he handed over and read it carefully. Old Shangshu wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling nervous. His Majesty is easy to talk to. I'm afraid this empress is asking too much.
In the past half a month, Mr. Shoufu has already been pissed off by Liang Zhen twice. It is well known in the court that compared to back then, the queen empress is now more domineering and domineering. What's more terrible is that her majesty will sing with him With a bad face and a red face, they cooperated tacitly in the court, which made them walk on thin ice, not daring to fool around, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be dealt with jointly by the two.
Liang Zhen finished reading the content of the memorandum, without saying anything, handed it to Zhu Yunxuan who was sitting at the side, Zhu Yunxuan picked up a pen and outlined a few details to be revised. In fact, this process arrangement has been changed countless times. Everyone in the Ministry of Rites has been so busy these days, and everything to be prepared has been confirmed repeatedly a hundred and eighty times before Zhu Yunxuan and Liang Zhen are barely satisfied.
It's not that they deliberately want to make things difficult for others, it's just that it's the only big wedding in this life, so they naturally want to make it perfect.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites reported the matter and withdrew, and the Shangyi Bureau sent the dresses that the emperor and empress would wear at the wedding ceremony two days later. Zhu Yunxuan's was a twelve-chapter gown with a twelve-chamber crown, and Liang Zhen's was a princely one. Nine beam crowns and nine chapter clothes.
Liang Zhen's outfit was all based on what the founding empress wore when she accepted the canonization. There were old rules in front of her, so she wouldn't be completely blind in these rituals, saving a lot of fuss.
These two dresses have been rushing to manufacture since they set off from Quanzhou Fashion Clothing Bureau, and it was only now that they were finished and sent to them for a try, at least they caught up.
Liang Zhen watched with a smile as Zhu Yunxuan changed his clothes and put on the crown, and after a while took a step forward, raised his hand to push away the pearl in front of him, Zhu Yunxuan was stunned and looked at him puzzled: "What's wrong? Why don't you try on clothes?"
"No hurry," Liang Zhen smiled softly, hooking his fingers around those beads, the smile in his eyes grew stronger, and asked Zhu Yunxuan, "Ah Xuan, do you still remember what I said before, what does this seem to be doing?"
Zhu Yunxuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then sneered: "Take off the hijab?"
"Um."
At that time, he casually said a joke, but now there is some meaning in the sentence.
Zhu Yunxuan disagreed and said: "It was I who married you, not you, you got it the other way."
The corners of Liang Zhen's lips were raised by three points: "Your Majesty said a few days ago that he would marry me, and he said it in front of all the elders, so he forgot so soon? But it doesn't matter if your Majesty forgets, These daily notes are memorized, His Majesty will not let it go."
"You can do it. You said that you are proud of being favored. I think you are the real one, right?"
As Zhu Yunxuan spoke, he raised his hand and thumped him on the shoulder. Liang Zhen grabbed his hand and kissed him on the lips. His eyes met and he laughed at the same time.
Min'er, who was sitting on the ground playing, raised her head when she heard her name, said "Yeah", and told them seriously, "Min'er is not delicate, she is very good."
Liang Zhen looked sideways at his son, and said with a smile: "You are not squeamish, there are no squeamish children in this world, and when they are almost four years old, they have to rely on their father and father to sleep together, and they still wet the bed, so shameless."
Min'er stuck out her tongue at him, wrinkled her nose and said in disbelief, "Father is a big villain."
Liang Zhen knelt down and looked at him with a smile: "Say father is a villain, right? I forgot to tell you that starting next month, you're going to study, don't even think about playing like this every day."
The child was stunned for a moment, then became wilted immediately, and looked at Zhu Yunxuan eagerly: "Do you really want to study?"
Zhu Yunxuan nodded: "Jin'er is the prince, so he has to learn and be incompetent."
When she was in Quanzhou, Zhu Yunjing had already asked someone to open the door for Xiao'er, but today is different from the past, as the orthodox heir to the throne, the requirements are naturally different. Although Min'er did not go to live in the East Palace, the officials in the East Palace were fully equipped. Those people had played several times to remind Zhu Yunxuan that it was time for the prince to study. No matter how reluctant Zhu Yunxuan was to tire his son, he couldn't indulge him in this regard.
The child blinked his eyes: "Then Chu'er is the crown prince, can I eat two extra candies every day?"
Zhu Yunxuan: "..."
Liang Zhen smiled and pinched his son's nose: "Little clever ghost, have you learned how to negotiate terms with your father?"
Min'er raised his fleshy little short hand, snapped his fingers and said, "Two can't do it, so let's have one more, is that okay?"
Zhu Yunxuan replied straight away: "Yes, as long as you study obediently and don't be naughty, two are fine."
The child smiled and assured them very seriously: "Miao'er will be obedient, Miao'er is a good boy."
