Chapter 498
The days flew by and soon it was July.
At the end of June, the Tatar envoys had already arrived in Shangjing. Due to the funeral ceremony of Empress Dowager Xiao, the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Rituals were too busy to touch the ground. Yingzong was not in the mood to talk to him, so the prince came forward to entertain the envoys. Minister, put it in the imperial guest house in Shangjing.
On the court meeting on the third day of July, the Tatar envoys entered the palace to meet Yingzong, and brought a letter of credence, one hundred horses, one hundred cattle and one sheep each.
Tatar was severely affected by the disaster last year, and those are the gifts that can be handed out.
Yingzong did not care about cattle and sheep, but the bloody BMWs of the Tatars were hard to come by.Mongolian horses are fierce and strong. They run wild on the vast grasslands all year round, and they are not comparable to the horses raised in the training grounds in the Central Plains.Tatar horses and horses from the Central Plains can immediately show their strengths as soon as they enter the battlefield. This is also an important reason why Yingzong secretly opened a horse market.
In the Dayin Dynasty, there were strong generals and talents, but they lacked good horses!
Yingzong accepted Yelu's gift with satisfaction, and also said some polite words, but kept silent about taking Xianzong back to the court.
The Tatar envoy was called Alu, who was rough and tough. I heard that he lost to the pioneer Alu in the battle when Xianzong was captured.Therefore, when Yingzong saw this General Alu, he didn't have a good face, and his attitude was neither salty nor weak.
Yingzong had a grudge in his heart, thinking that Yelu had deliberately asked Alu to go on an envoy, with the purpose of uncovering the old scars of the Dayin dynasty and laughing at the shame of being captured as the king of a country back then.
After Alu handed over the letter of credence, Yingzong didn't even read it.There is also anger in my heart.
He stepped forward, put his right hand on the left chest, half-bent down and gave a Mongolian salute, and blurted out: "Your Majesty Yinhuang, I, Khan, sent this general to the Yin Dynasty this time, and one is to give tribute to thank His Majesty's friends." The purpose of helping each other is to negotiate with His Majesty about bringing back the Emperor Xianzong, I wonder what His Majesty's proposal is for me, Khan, and what is your plan?"
Yingzong's sneer was hidden under the crown.All he wanted was for Alu to bring it up without compromising himself.
Yingzong asked Xianzong about the situation in recent years, and he asked Emperor Xianzong how he was doing in the north, but he was used to it.
Alu felt that the Emperor Yin Dynasty was really hypocritical.
Xianzong is just a defeated prisoner, and he is not a guest of honor. Why should the Tatars treat him well?Not killing him is giving him the greatest gift, the greatest mercy.As for getting used to it.This is a big joke.The way of life of the Tatars is completely different from that of the Yin Dynasty. How can they get used to it?However, Xianzong is just a prisoner. If he can't adapt to the environment and get used to the Tatar way of life, maybe he should have been buried in the loess long ago. How can he wait for the moment when he returns to his homeland?
People in the Yin Dynasty often said that the Tatars were sinister and cunning.But he thinks that Yinchao talent is really duplicity and insidious.They think of themselves as a state of etiquette.Pay attention to loyalty, filial piety and honesty, but say one thing and do another.If they were really loyal, how could Xianzong become the emperor?How could the most powerful bargaining chip in the hands of the Tatars become a useless chess game?
Thinking about the so-called loyalty in the state of etiquette, it is nothing more than empty talk.
Alu's bearded face was filled with a mocking smile, and he said unhurriedly: "I, Khan, dare not treat the emperor badly."
Yingzong laughed, saying that since Tatar was so sincere.So he picked a day and went to Tatar with the envoys.Take Xianzong back.
He said this as if Tatar begged him to bring Xianzong back, which made Alu a little annoyed.
However, these years, Xianzong has been kept in Tatar, and he was unable to be killed. Zong's popularity is very good, many courtiers and princes in the royal court like him and are willing to get close to him, which makes Yelu very angry and worried.He was worried that his people would be influenced by him and had the idea of pro-Yin, so he couldn't wait to fulfill Xianzong and kick him back.
Yingzong still needs to consider the candidate who will be greeted by the Tatars, and let Alu go back to the Royal Guest House to wait for the news.
Alu is now alone in the Dayin Dynasty, even if he is full of anger, he dare not act rashly, and can only obey Yingzong's wishes.
After coming down to court, Emperor Yingzong sent Cao Qing and Zhou Boxuan to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and ordered them to draw up a list of envoys for him.
Cao Qing and Zhou Boxuan took orders, followed Yingzong to the Hall of Mental Cultivation the next day, and showed Yingzong the list drawn up after discussion.
Yingzong glanced at it. The chief envoy of the mission was Yuan Chengshi, the Minister of Rites, and the deputy envoy was Zheng Entai.The minister of the Ministry of Rites is a third-rank official, which is enough, and the deputy envoy has a lower status, being a seventh-rank official.
Yingzong frowned slightly, picked up a pen and crossed out the name of the Minister of Rites, and directly made Zheng Entai the envoy.
Cao Qing was surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this Zheng Entai is just a seventh-rank official, so it would be inappropriate for him to represent the Dayin Dynasty as an envoy to meet the Emperor!"
Zhou Boxuan also hurriedly agreed.
Yingzong snorted coldly, his intention was to create obstacles for the mission this time.He had planned early on that he would choose a chief envoy without any diplomatic experience, and he did not intend to give Tatar money, gifts, or even give the mission a legitimate missionary name.Yingzong felt that any one of these obstacles was enough to cause the failure of this mission.
It would be better if Yelu was angry. If he was angry, he would hold on to Xianzong or simply kill him with a knife, then he could rest easy and have enough reasons to prevaricate the world.
Here, you see, this is what the Tatars really are!
If they don't give money or gifts, they will change their faces. Their real purpose is to blackmail in disguise, and use the emperor to blackmail them. They never want to send the emperor back to the court...
This is the wishful thinking that Yingzong made in his heart after he promised to welcome Xianzong back.
But it is a pity that Yingzong still can't calculate God's will after all his calculations.
In order to accomplish one thing, often only one success factor is enough.It is very ironic that Zheng Entai, who was selected by him as the chief ambassador, succeeded this time.the most critical factor.
Zheng Entai was born in the Zheng family, a descendant of the aristocratic family, and a descendant of the Zheng family.He was originally from the Hanlin Academy, and when he was released from abroad, he happened to come across Zheng Yu's case. At the beginning, Yingzong was furious, and he ignored the pleas of the prince and Sixi county magistrate, and let the Ministry of Justice handle Zheng Yu.Although that case happened in the south of the Yangtze River, it also caused a lot of repercussions in Shangjing.At that time, Zheng Entai was implicated innocently and was pushed out everywhere. Originally, with his outstanding performance, he could have a better position in the court, but that happened.He only messed around with the matter, and he got it because he left the relationship, which made him depressed for a long time.
Zheng Entai was inconspicuous in the court, and he was not considered a figure in the affairs of a small one. This was one of the reasons why Yingzong chose him to go.It's a pity that Yingzong didn't take the time to check Zheng Entai carefully.So he didn't know that Zheng Entai was actually a person with unique skills, and his best place.It's his mouth, he can speak well, he can talk dead people alive, he is very good at fooling people.
Yingzong saw that Cao Qing and Zhou Boxuan did not say that Zheng Entai was a bad person, but only disliked his low official position, so he criticized him with Zhubi and promoted Zheng Entai from a seventh-rank official to a second-rank Youdu Yushi.
Cao Qing and Zhou Boxuan were taken aback.Only then did they understand Yingzong's real intention.
They sighed silently in their hearts, but they could only follow Yingzong.
inside this matter.The biggest beneficiary should be Zheng Entai.
Without this errand, he would not have been able to get the position of Youdu Yushi even if he stayed for more than ten or twenty years.Therefore, when Yingzong's decree was issued, Zheng Entai felt as if he was stepping on a cloud, his whole body was floating, so unreal.
But Zheng Entai was not naive. What Cao Qing and the right minister said in the court that day, Zheng Entai also knew Yingzong's concerns. He understood the mystery behind his mission. Yingzong didn't want Xianzong to come back at all!
Facts proved his prediction. On July [-]th, their mission was about to leave, but the mission had no money, no supplies, not even a specific statement about the mission.Some people in the DPRK sighed, but no one supported it, and no one was optimistic about Zheng Entai's mission this time.
However, Zheng Entai still calmed down and set off with confidence.
His idea is to continue to work hard in the position of Yushi of Youdu, instead of being treated as a useless pawn by Yingzong after the failure of the mission.
He wants to create a miracle, even if he has nothing, he has to find a way to bring the emperor back.
On the day the mission left, the people in Shangjing all came out to see each other off on the street.
The crowd was surging, and the faces of the people were filled with bright smiles.
They are all silently praying that the emperor can return safely...
This is the case in the hearts of the common people, especially Princess Huilan.
When she heard the news of the departure of the mission, she couldn't believe it. When she heard the confirmed news, she was so excited that she shed tears.
Xianzong is her elder brother who grew up with her. Princess Huilan's affection for him is just like Chen Yutong's affection for Chen Yixue.
She has no siblings, only an elder brother like Xianzong.Xianzong grew up not beside Empress Dowager Xiao, but he also longed for maternal love and brotherhood.Princess Huilan's mother, Princess Duansu, treated Xianzong very well. Most of Xianzong's clothes when he was young came from the princess.It can be said that the relationship between Xianzong and Princess Huilan is deeper than that of siblings.
Now, a mission finally set out to bring back her brother who had been away for 19 years. How could this make her not excited?
Princess Huilan lay on Chen Jing's shoulders, crying and laughing, his clothes were wet with tears.
Chen Jing was also happy in his heart, but seeing Princess Huilan lose his composure like this, he also felt a little apprehensive.
For Xianzong, she cried many times and shed a lot of tears. Chen Jing was very distressed!
But Chen Jing could also understand Hui Lan's mood.Because he saw his daughter anxious and worried about Brother Xue's illness a few years ago, he knew that Hui Lan's relationship with Xianzong was only brother and sister, not love between men and women.
Princess Huilan wiped away her tears, called Zhilan, took a shower, changed her clothes, and went to the big kitchen.
She is going to cook by herself tonight and cook a dinner for the whole family, but she hasn't cooked for a long time, and she is worried about her own hands.
Chen Jing laughed loudly, and hurriedly asked Zhilan to tell Jin Jin, and asked Jin Jin to help the princess.
******
Zheng Entai's mission set off, and Yingzong felt that the big stone weighing on his heart had finally landed.
The next step is to wait for the news of the failure of the mission, and then he will have a high-sounding reason to tell the world.It was Tatar who backtracked and had no credibility at all. He worked hard for this matter, and the envoys of the Dayin Dynasty also negotiated wholeheartedly, but in the end they still failed.
Then Yingzong could blame all the crimes on the Tatars, or attribute them to God's will.
It's God's will, he can't help it...
During the days from July [-]th to [-]th, the courtiers went up and down step by step, and there was no disturbance in the court hall.And the people in the capital.These two days were still quiet and excited, and the topics they discussed after tea and dinner were all about the mission of the envoys to Tatar to welcome Emperor Xianzong's return to the court.
July [-]th is the auspicious day of the Zhou Ji Festival for Empress Dowager Xiao's death. The whole set of procedures for this funeral ceremony was completed jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Rituals.
The courtiers and wives entered the palace early in the morning to worship.In the sky above the Hall of Eternal Life, the sounds of wooden fish and chanting sutras were intertwined and circling endlessly.
Yingzong has a real mother-child relationship with Empress Dowager Xiao, but the relationship has become a little delicate due to political disagreements over the years.But humans are emotional animals after all.The mother's death is still a great blow to the son, the suspicion and unhappiness of the past.All disappeared with the death of Empress Dowager Xiao, and what remains in my heart are those precious memories that are good enough to last a lifetime.
On the day of Daxiang, Yingzong recited a long sacrificial oration in front of the coffin of Empress Dowager Xiao in the Hall of Eternal Life. He choked up several times, broke down in sobs, and knelt down to the courtiers behind him.They were also moved by His Majesty's benevolence and filial piety, and all of them burst into tears.
Jin Jin followed Princess Huilan closely.In response to the chanting of the eunuchs and eunuchs, perform the ceremony of kowtow.
In addition to the buzzing sound of wooden fish and chanting sutras, there was also the sound of crying one after another.Jin Zi secretly raised his eyes and glanced around, and found that all the wives were crying sincerely, extremely sad.
Jin Zi didn't feel sad except that she felt a little uncomfortable in the days when Empress Dowager Xiao passed away. She felt that these people were a little pretentious, no matter how you looked at it, they were fake.
The sacrificial ceremony ended in the afternoon when Shenzheng was declared.
Princess Jin and Princess Huilan didn't intend to stay, but after they left the Xuande Gate, there were two maidservants in light green palace attire and white satin around their waists waiting at the door.Seeing Jin Zi and Princess Huilan coming out, the two hurriedly went up to greet them, and saluted respectfully.
"Which palace are you from?" Princess Huilan asked with airs.
When she became serious, she looked lonely and arrogant, not at all as smiling and approachable as usual.
One of the maidservants in the palace was a little nervous, while the other maid beside her was calmer, lowered her head, and whispered back: "The maidservant is from Zhongcui Palace, and the empress asked the maidservant to come over and wait for the princess and Mrs. Please go over there, both of you, to catch up on the old days!"
Jin Jin glanced at Princess Huilan and secretly guessed who the owner of Zhongcui Palace was.
Princess Huilan chuckled lightly, thinking that she and Concubine Rong did not have any deep friendship, let alone any old things to recount.However, she sent her maidservant to wait here early, and if she doesn't go, she won't be able to. She is a royal princess, and although her status is noble, she can't surpass the first-rank concubine of the dynasty. She must go this time!
Thinking of this, Princess Huilan said to Jin Jin: "Concubine Rong has given mother such a big face, we will be ignorant if we don't go!"
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Jin Zi had guessed in his heart. Jin Zi didn't show any signs of expression, but said yes obediently.
"Lead the way ahead!" Princess Huilan pointed at the two servant girls.
The two agreed in unison, and they did not dare to walk directly in front of Princess Huilan and Jinzi, they only walked on both sides, one left and one right, and when they approached the corner, they walked out of the guidance beforehand, and then retreated to one side, lagging behind the princess. One step with gold.
The sun outside was scorching hot, and the bluestone tile floor seemed to be churning with heat.The underwear that Jin Jin was wearing next to her body seemed to have been soaked in sweat and stuck to her back, making her uncomfortable.
The palace maid reminds the princess and Jinzi that Zhongcui Palace is here.
"The princess and Mrs. Shizi, please wait a moment, and the slaves will go in and inform the empress!"
Princess Huilan hummed, and the voice came out of her nasal cavity, which was a bit thick.
The maid saluted and turned to enter the palace.
Soon, Concubine Rong greeted her in person.
Jin Jin looked up at her, her appearance was extremely beautiful, although she was getting older, she was still magnificent.
The outline of Long Tingxuan's face is very similar to Concubine Rong, no wonder he looks so charming and evil.
Jin Zi saluted Princess Huilan together, and Concubine Rong hurriedly supported Princess Huilan, jokingly said: "We are all a family, why do we still pay attention to these modest etiquettes? The princess and Mrs. Shizi come in and sit down quickly. Gong has just finished making tea. Just wait for the princess to come over and comment on it!"
Princess Huilan was enthusiastically pulled in by Concubine Rong, and Jin Zizhi followed behind Princess Huilan with a smile on her face.
The layout of Zhongcui Palace is graceful and grand, showing a kind of low-key luxury everywhere.There is an ice basin in the hall, the coolness is refreshing, and the hot feeling around the body immediately dissipates without a trace, so comfortable that Jin Zi just wants to breathe a long sigh of relief.
"I don't dare to judge, the tea that can be delivered to the empress must be excellent!" Princess Huilan replied politely.There is no fawning and flattery, nor is there any perfunctory intention.
Concubine Rong smiled, and greeted Princess Huilan and Jin Zi to take their seats.
Princess Huilan and Concubine Rong took their seats respectively, and Jin Zi sat down in front of Princess Huilan.
A palace maid served the tea soup, and then quietly withdrew.
Princess Huilan was also polite, and held up the teacup.Skimmed off the froth, took a mouthful in his mouth.
"This is the tea from early spring this year. It tastes sweet! It should be produced in Suzhou." Princess Huilan said.
Concubine Rong nodded hurriedly, and replied: "My palace said that the princess is a master of tea ceremony! I only took a sip, and I let you tell me everything. This is the spring tea of this year's Suzhou royal tribute. I drink it at your majesty's place." Once. My palace said it tasted good, so His Majesty rewarded me with it!"
Princess Huilan saw that the corners of Concubine Rong's eyes and brows were full of smiles.It was quite a show of favor, and he couldn't help but sighed.
How did such a person survive the strife in the harem?
Are you pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, or are you just really stupid?
Thinking of Xiaoyao Wang who has been quiet all these years but has emerged in just a few months, Princess Huilan felt a little chill in her heart, and suddenly lost the interest in chatting and laughing.She twitched the corners of her lips and put down the teacup.Straight to the point and asked: "Isn't your empress specially invited Hui Lan to drink tea?"
Concubine Rong was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes fell on Jin Jin.Laughed twice to conceal the sudden embarrassment, looked away, and said with a light smile: "I want to thank the princess and Mrs. Shizi. I can come out of the cold palace safe and sound this time, Mrs. Shizi It was a great help, I will keep this affection in my heart!"
"Your Majesty is serious. This matter is just a matter of little effort for Yingluo. The medical records in the Imperial Hospital have detailed records. Your Majesty is innocent. Your Majesty will find out the truth, and naturally your Majesty will not be wronged for nothing!" Jin Jin looked at the county. The Lord glanced at him with a respectful attitude, and replied unhurriedly.
Concubine Rong loves to hear these words. When she was imprisoned in the cold palace by Empress Xue, she was thinking that she was innocent and did nothing. His Majesty believed in her and would definitely let her out. It turned out to be the case later. .However, I did hear that the prince's wife was there to help, so according to what my son said, I invited Princess Huilan and Jin Zi to come over and thank him face to face.
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise, but not everyone can be fooled at will!" Concubine Rong smiled, she broke the subject, and asked about Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruohan.
Princess Huilan answered one by one.
"That's good!" Concubine Rong sighed slightly, and said with some regret: "If it hadn't been for the empress dowager's sudden...hey, this cup of daughter-in-law tea in my palace would fly away again... ...."
"Xuan'er and Hanhan are still young after all, and a year has passed by in a flash. Let Qin Tianjian pick a good day after all. Don't worry, the empress's daughter-in-law tea can't escape!" Princess Huilan In response, after finishing speaking, he stood up and said: "It's getting late, there are still some common affairs in the mansion, Huilan will not disturb the empress!"
Jin Jin hurriedly got up.
Concubine Rong tried to persuade Princess Huilan and Jin Zi to stay for dinner but failed, so she took out the gift she had prepared and told Jin Zi and Princess Jin to accept it.
Princess Huilan and Jin Zi declined several times, but Concubine Rong insisted on sending them away, so she had no choice but to accept it. Concubine Rong asked the inner eunuch to prepare the chariot first, and sent the two of them to Suzaku Gate.
Princess Huilan entered the palace early in the morning, and she was already tired after a day of tossing around. She also played Tai Chi with Concubine Rong for an hour, and felt exhausted. After getting into the carriage, she leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep.
Jin Jin didn't feel too tired, but he was a little suspicious of Concubine Rong's intention of inviting her and Princess Huilan over.
Is it just a simple thank you?
Jin Jin always felt that this matter was strange.
... ...
Empress Xue was annoyed because she failed to convict Concubine Rong, and people have been paying attention to Concubine Rong's movements these days.
The news that Princess Huilan and Jin Zi went to Zhongcui Palace to drink tea soon reached her ears.
Empress Xue thought that Concubine Rong's move was a sign of her great promise to win over the powerful for King Xiaoyao.The core figure of King Hui's faction was originally Long Tingshi, but he has a broken leg, so he will definitely not be able to sit in that position in the future.Long Tingxuan squeezed in, his ambition was clearly revealed.He doesn't support enough people now, and he doesn't have enough strength to fight for reserves, so he needs to win over the rich and powerful in the city for help.
Princess Huilan is just famous and has no real power in her hands, but behind her is Prince Duansu. Prince Duansu followed the former emperor to fight in the north and south, and has a high prestige in the army. If he expresses his support Long Tingxuan, when the time comes, there will be many people in the court who will respond to his call. Isn't the prince even more dangerous?
Empress Xue gritted her teeth angrily, this Concubine Rong is really hateful.She felt that she was deceived by this seemingly harmless woman who was actually ambitious. If she had been able to see through her mind earlier, how could she have kept her alive until now?
Empress Xue summoned a personal eunuch, and after whispering something in his ear, she stood up straight and raised her voice, "The last time the prince said he likes the lotus cake here in this palace, it happened that Biyue had just made it. Get some out, Dequan, you pack two boxes and send them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Dequan hurriedly answered yes, hit a thousand, turned around and left the palace gate. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)

At the end of June, the Tatar envoys had already arrived in Shangjing. Due to the funeral ceremony of Empress Dowager Xiao, the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Rituals were too busy to touch the ground. Yingzong was not in the mood to talk to him, so the prince came forward to entertain the envoys. Minister, put it in the imperial guest house in Shangjing.
On the court meeting on the third day of July, the Tatar envoys entered the palace to meet Yingzong, and brought a letter of credence, one hundred horses, one hundred cattle and one sheep each.
Tatar was severely affected by the disaster last year, and those are the gifts that can be handed out.
Yingzong did not care about cattle and sheep, but the bloody BMWs of the Tatars were hard to come by.Mongolian horses are fierce and strong. They run wild on the vast grasslands all year round, and they are not comparable to the horses raised in the training grounds in the Central Plains.Tatar horses and horses from the Central Plains can immediately show their strengths as soon as they enter the battlefield. This is also an important reason why Yingzong secretly opened a horse market.
In the Dayin Dynasty, there were strong generals and talents, but they lacked good horses!
Yingzong accepted Yelu's gift with satisfaction, and also said some polite words, but kept silent about taking Xianzong back to the court.

Thinking about the so-called loyalty in the state of etiquette, it is nothing more than empty talk.
Alu's bearded face was filled with a mocking smile, and he said unhurriedly: "I, Khan, dare not treat the emperor badly."

Yingzong saw that Cao Qing and Zhou Boxuan did not say that Zheng Entai was a bad person, but only disliked his low official position, so he criticized him with Zhubi and promoted Zheng Entai from a seventh-rank official to a second-rank Youdu Yushi.
Cao Qing and Zhou Boxuan were taken aback.Only then did they understand Yingzong's real intention.
They sighed silently in their hearts, but they could only follow Yingzong.
inside this matter.The biggest beneficiary should be Zheng Entai.
Without this errand, he would not have been able to get the position of Youdu Yushi even if he stayed for more than ten or twenty years.Therefore, when Yingzong's decree was issued, Zheng Entai felt as if he was stepping on a cloud, his whole body was floating, so unreal.
But Zheng Entai was not naive. What Cao Qing and the right minister said in the court that day, Zheng Entai also knew Yingzong's concerns. He understood the mystery behind his mission. Yingzong didn't want Xianzong to come back at all!
Facts proved his prediction. On July [-]th, their mission was about to leave, but the mission had no money, no supplies, not even a specific statement about the mission.Some people in the DPRK sighed, but no one supported it, and no one was optimistic about Zheng Entai's mission this time.
However, Zheng Entai still calmed down and set off with confidence.
His idea is to continue to work hard in the position of Yushi of Youdu, instead of being treated as a useless pawn by Yingzong after the failure of the mission.
He wants to create a miracle, even if he has nothing, he has to find a way to bring the emperor back.
On the day the mission left, the people in Shangjing all came out to see each other off on the street.
The crowd was surging, and the faces of the people were filled with bright smiles.
They are all silently praying that the emperor can return safely...
This is the case in the hearts of the common people, especially Princess Huilan.
When she heard the news of the departure of the mission, she couldn't believe it. When she heard the confirmed news, she was so excited that she shed tears.
Xianzong is her elder brother who grew up with her. Princess Huilan's affection for him is just like Chen Yutong's affection for Chen Yixue.
She has no siblings, only an elder brother like Xianzong.Xianzong grew up not beside Empress Dowager Xiao, but he also longed for maternal love and brotherhood.Princess Huilan's mother, Princess Duansu, treated Xianzong very well. Most of Xianzong's clothes when he was young came from the princess.It can be said that the relationship between Xianzong and Princess Huilan is deeper than that of siblings.
Now, a mission finally set out to bring back her brother who had been away for 19 years. How could this make her not excited?
Princess Huilan lay on Chen Jing's shoulders, crying and laughing, his clothes were wet with tears.
Chen Jing was also happy in his heart, but seeing Princess Huilan lose his composure like this, he also felt a little apprehensive.
For Xianzong, she cried many times and shed a lot of tears. Chen Jing was very distressed!
But Chen Jing could also understand Hui Lan's mood.Because he saw his daughter anxious and worried about Brother Xue's illness a few years ago, he knew that Hui Lan's relationship with Xianzong was only brother and sister, not love between men and women.
Princess Huilan wiped away her tears, called Zhilan, took a shower, changed her clothes, and went to the big kitchen.
She is going to cook by herself tonight and cook a dinner for the whole family, but she hasn't cooked for a long time, and she is worried about her own hands.
Chen Jing laughed loudly, and hurriedly asked Zhilan to tell Jin Jin, and asked Jin Jin to help the princess.
******
Zheng Entai's mission set off, and Yingzong felt that the big stone weighing on his heart had finally landed.
The next step is to wait for the news of the failure of the mission, and then he will have a high-sounding reason to tell the world.It was Tatar who backtracked and had no credibility at all. He worked hard for this matter, and the envoys of the Dayin Dynasty also negotiated wholeheartedly, but in the end they still failed.
Then Yingzong could blame all the crimes on the Tatars, or attribute them to God's will.
It's God's will, he can't help it...
During the days from July [-]th to [-]th, the courtiers went up and down step by step, and there was no disturbance in the court hall.And the people in the capital.These two days were still quiet and excited, and the topics they discussed after tea and dinner were all about the mission of the envoys to Tatar to welcome Emperor Xianzong's return to the court.
July [-]th is the auspicious day of the Zhou Ji Festival for Empress Dowager Xiao's death. The whole set of procedures for this funeral ceremony was completed jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Rituals.
The courtiers and wives entered the palace early in the morning to worship.In the sky above the Hall of Eternal Life, the sounds of wooden fish and chanting sutras were intertwined and circling endlessly.
Yingzong has a real mother-child relationship with Empress Dowager Xiao, but the relationship has become a little delicate due to political disagreements over the years.But humans are emotional animals after all.The mother's death is still a great blow to the son, the suspicion and unhappiness of the past.All disappeared with the death of Empress Dowager Xiao, and what remains in my heart are those precious memories that are good enough to last a lifetime.
On the day of Daxiang, Yingzong recited a long sacrificial oration in front of the coffin of Empress Dowager Xiao in the Hall of Eternal Life. He choked up several times, broke down in sobs, and knelt down to the courtiers behind him.They were also moved by His Majesty's benevolence and filial piety, and all of them burst into tears.
Jin Jin followed Princess Huilan closely.In response to the chanting of the eunuchs and eunuchs, perform the ceremony of kowtow.
In addition to the buzzing sound of wooden fish and chanting sutras, there was also the sound of crying one after another.Jin Zi secretly raised his eyes and glanced around, and found that all the wives were crying sincerely, extremely sad.
Jin Zi didn't feel sad except that she felt a little uncomfortable in the days when Empress Dowager Xiao passed away. She felt that these people were a little pretentious, no matter how you looked at it, they were fake.
The sacrificial ceremony ended in the afternoon when Shenzheng was declared.
Princess Jin and Princess Huilan didn't intend to stay, but after they left the Xuande Gate, there were two maidservants in light green palace attire and white satin around their waists waiting at the door.Seeing Jin Zi and Princess Huilan coming out, the two hurriedly went up to greet them, and saluted respectfully.
"Which palace are you from?" Princess Huilan asked with airs.
When she became serious, she looked lonely and arrogant, not at all as smiling and approachable as usual.
One of the maidservants in the palace was a little nervous, while the other maid beside her was calmer, lowered her head, and whispered back: "The maidservant is from Zhongcui Palace, and the empress asked the maidservant to come over and wait for the princess and Mrs. Please go over there, both of you, to catch up on the old days!"
Jin Jin glanced at Princess Huilan and secretly guessed who the owner of Zhongcui Palace was.
Princess Huilan chuckled lightly, thinking that she and Concubine Rong did not have any deep friendship, let alone any old things to recount.However, she sent her maidservant to wait here early, and if she doesn't go, she won't be able to. She is a royal princess, and although her status is noble, she can't surpass the first-rank concubine of the dynasty. She must go this time!
Thinking of this, Princess Huilan said to Jin Jin: "Concubine Rong has given mother such a big face, we will be ignorant if we don't go!"
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Jin Zi had guessed in his heart. Jin Zi didn't show any signs of expression, but said yes obediently.
"Lead the way ahead!" Princess Huilan pointed at the two servant girls.
The two agreed in unison, and they did not dare to walk directly in front of Princess Huilan and Jinzi, they only walked on both sides, one left and one right, and when they approached the corner, they walked out of the guidance beforehand, and then retreated to one side, lagging behind the princess. One step with gold.
The sun outside was scorching hot, and the bluestone tile floor seemed to be churning with heat.The underwear that Jin Jin was wearing next to her body seemed to have been soaked in sweat and stuck to her back, making her uncomfortable.
The palace maid reminds the princess and Jinzi that Zhongcui Palace is here.
"The princess and Mrs. Shizi, please wait a moment, and the slaves will go in and inform the empress!"
Princess Huilan hummed, and the voice came out of her nasal cavity, which was a bit thick.
The maid saluted and turned to enter the palace.
Soon, Concubine Rong greeted her in person.
Jin Jin looked up at her, her appearance was extremely beautiful, although she was getting older, she was still magnificent.
The outline of Long Tingxuan's face is very similar to Concubine Rong, no wonder he looks so charming and evil.
Jin Zi saluted Princess Huilan together, and Concubine Rong hurriedly supported Princess Huilan, jokingly said: "We are all a family, why do we still pay attention to these modest etiquettes? The princess and Mrs. Shizi come in and sit down quickly. Gong has just finished making tea. Just wait for the princess to come over and comment on it!"
Princess Huilan was enthusiastically pulled in by Concubine Rong, and Jin Zizhi followed behind Princess Huilan with a smile on her face.
The layout of Zhongcui Palace is graceful and grand, showing a kind of low-key luxury everywhere.There is an ice basin in the hall, the coolness is refreshing, and the hot feeling around the body immediately dissipates without a trace, so comfortable that Jin Zi just wants to breathe a long sigh of relief.
"I don't dare to judge, the tea that can be delivered to the empress must be excellent!" Princess Huilan replied politely.There is no fawning and flattery, nor is there any perfunctory intention.
Concubine Rong smiled, and greeted Princess Huilan and Jin Zi to take their seats.
Princess Huilan and Concubine Rong took their seats respectively, and Jin Zi sat down in front of Princess Huilan.
A palace maid served the tea soup, and then quietly withdrew.
Princess Huilan was also polite, and held up the teacup.Skimmed off the froth, took a mouthful in his mouth.
"This is the tea from early spring this year. It tastes sweet! It should be produced in Suzhou." Princess Huilan said.
Concubine Rong nodded hurriedly, and replied: "My palace said that the princess is a master of tea ceremony! I only took a sip, and I let you tell me everything. This is the spring tea of this year's Suzhou royal tribute. I drink it at your majesty's place." Once. My palace said it tasted good, so His Majesty rewarded me with it!"
Princess Huilan saw that the corners of Concubine Rong's eyes and brows were full of smiles.It was quite a show of favor, and he couldn't help but sighed.
How did such a person survive the strife in the harem?
Are you pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, or are you just really stupid?
Thinking of Xiaoyao Wang who has been quiet all these years but has emerged in just a few months, Princess Huilan felt a little chill in her heart, and suddenly lost the interest in chatting and laughing.She twitched the corners of her lips and put down the teacup.Straight to the point and asked: "Isn't your empress specially invited Hui Lan to drink tea?"
Concubine Rong was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes fell on Jin Jin.Laughed twice to conceal the sudden embarrassment, looked away, and said with a light smile: "I want to thank the princess and Mrs. Shizi. I can come out of the cold palace safe and sound this time, Mrs. Shizi It was a great help, I will keep this affection in my heart!"
"Your Majesty is serious. This matter is just a matter of little effort for Yingluo. The medical records in the Imperial Hospital have detailed records. Your Majesty is innocent. Your Majesty will find out the truth, and naturally your Majesty will not be wronged for nothing!" Jin Jin looked at the county. The Lord glanced at him with a respectful attitude, and replied unhurriedly.
Concubine Rong loves to hear these words. When she was imprisoned in the cold palace by Empress Xue, she was thinking that she was innocent and did nothing. His Majesty believed in her and would definitely let her out. It turned out to be the case later. .However, I did hear that the prince's wife was there to help, so according to what my son said, I invited Princess Huilan and Jin Zi to come over and thank him face to face.
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise, but not everyone can be fooled at will!" Concubine Rong smiled, she broke the subject, and asked about Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruohan.
Princess Huilan answered one by one.
"That's good!" Concubine Rong sighed slightly, and said with some regret: "If it hadn't been for the empress dowager's sudden...hey, this cup of daughter-in-law tea in my palace would fly away again... ...."
"Xuan'er and Hanhan are still young after all, and a year has passed by in a flash. Let Qin Tianjian pick a good day after all. Don't worry, the empress's daughter-in-law tea can't escape!" Princess Huilan In response, after finishing speaking, he stood up and said: "It's getting late, there are still some common affairs in the mansion, Huilan will not disturb the empress!"
Jin Jin hurriedly got up.
Concubine Rong tried to persuade Princess Huilan and Jin Zi to stay for dinner but failed, so she took out the gift she had prepared and told Jin Zi and Princess Jin to accept it.
Princess Huilan and Jin Zi declined several times, but Concubine Rong insisted on sending them away, so she had no choice but to accept it. Concubine Rong asked the inner eunuch to prepare the chariot first, and sent the two of them to Suzaku Gate.
Princess Huilan entered the palace early in the morning, and she was already tired after a day of tossing around. She also played Tai Chi with Concubine Rong for an hour, and felt exhausted. After getting into the carriage, she leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep.
Jin Jin didn't feel too tired, but he was a little suspicious of Concubine Rong's intention of inviting her and Princess Huilan over.
Is it just a simple thank you?
Jin Jin always felt that this matter was strange.
... ...
Empress Xue was annoyed because she failed to convict Concubine Rong, and people have been paying attention to Concubine Rong's movements these days.
The news that Princess Huilan and Jin Zi went to Zhongcui Palace to drink tea soon reached her ears.
Empress Xue thought that Concubine Rong's move was a sign of her great promise to win over the powerful for King Xiaoyao.The core figure of King Hui's faction was originally Long Tingshi, but he has a broken leg, so he will definitely not be able to sit in that position in the future.Long Tingxuan squeezed in, his ambition was clearly revealed.He doesn't support enough people now, and he doesn't have enough strength to fight for reserves, so he needs to win over the rich and powerful in the city for help.
Princess Huilan is just famous and has no real power in her hands, but behind her is Prince Duansu. Prince Duansu followed the former emperor to fight in the north and south, and has a high prestige in the army. If he expresses his support Long Tingxuan, when the time comes, there will be many people in the court who will respond to his call. Isn't the prince even more dangerous?
Empress Xue gritted her teeth angrily, this Concubine Rong is really hateful.She felt that she was deceived by this seemingly harmless woman who was actually ambitious. If she had been able to see through her mind earlier, how could she have kept her alive until now?
Empress Xue summoned a personal eunuch, and after whispering something in his ear, she stood up straight and raised her voice, "The last time the prince said he likes the lotus cake here in this palace, it happened that Biyue had just made it. Get some out, Dequan, you pack two boxes and send them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Dequan hurriedly answered yes, hit a thousand, turned around and left the palace gate. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
