The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 301 Year-End Ceremony
Behind are other high-ranking concubines, and Li Xuanyin is still grounded because of Li Xuanyin's affairs, even if it is the year-end ceremony, Situ Rui has no intention of letting her out.It seems that Situ Rui is determined to step down the Li family.

The Taimiao is solemn, and the founding emperor built the country with martial arts, so there is not much luxury in the Taimiao. At the entrance, there is a statue of a general raising a gun and shouting, to warn future generations: prosperity is hard to come by. , but with an inexplicable majesty.

When offering sacrifices to heaven, Situ Rui had Xu Qiushui on his left and Qin Wange on his right.In previous years, when offering sacrifices to the heavens, the emperor had only the queen by his side, but this year there was an extra imperial concubine, which shows the position of this imperial concubine in the emperor's heart.

Standing beside Situ Rui, Qin Wange looked at Situ Rui and Xu Qiushui coldly.

Situ Rui wore a bright yellow dragon robe and a black cloak. He was tall and tall. Although he was more than majestic but not domineering; Xu Qiushui was wearing a scarlet phoenix robe and a red cloak embroidered with nine phoenixes. It is proud.There is more than dignity and elegance, but too much hostility.

This is the most honorable couple in the whole world, the emperor and queen whom Xiling respects, but who knows how despicable and bloody means they used to obtain this glory.

Qin Wange watched them being worshiped by the courtiers, and boundless hatred burst out in his heart. Xu Qiushui's scarlet phoenix robe seemed to be dyed with the blood of their Qin family.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, at this moment, she was almost out of control. She used all her strength to control herself and prevent their blood from splashing on the spot.

At this time, Liu Ruxin was standing behind Qin Wange's right, and she could see Qin Wange's side face. She saw Qin Wange's face was strange, and worriedly, she secretly pulled Qin Wange's sleeve, He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Only then did Qin Wange slowly come back to his senses, forced a smile, and whispered back: "It's okay, I was too nervous last night and didn't sleep well."

Liu Ruxin didn't feel suspicious either, so she just stood and watched as if nothing had happened.

The ceremonial officer read the long and eloquent eulogy with a high-pitched and excited voice, which were nothing more than beautiful words, such as: "The river is clean and the sea is clean, the world is peaceful, make good use of the virtuous, and rule the world with filial piety."

I don't know which ritual official wrote such a boring eulogy, every sentence is fake, and I am talking nonsense with my eyes open.Qin Wange sneered in his heart while listening.

Make good use of virtue?Leaving aside the matter of the Qin family's extermination, in the past few years, Situ Rui favored and trusted Li You, and allowed Li You and his ilk to rule. Tang Zhongze and other wise and loyal ministers were pushed out. Is this considered a good use of virtue?
It is even more absurd to talk about filial piety in the world. For his own benefit, Situ Rui poisoned his own mother, the empress dowager, and put him under house arrest in the palace. He didn't even know about his mother, so how could he be filial?

As for Haiyan, Heqing, and the peace of the world, it is even more nonsense!Inside Xiling, treacherous ministers are in power, and the people are in dire straits; outside, there is a new king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty succeeding to the throne, eyeing Xiling covetously.

This kind of eulogy can be given out, how much does Situ Rui like to deceive himself and others?Does he really think that his country is as strong as a diamond iron barrel?
Qin Wange endured again and again, and the ceremony officer finally finished reading the eulogy.Situ Rui and Xu Qiushui lit the incense in the bronze tripod together to worship their ancestors.

Aspire to the Central Plains, Jiuding Tianxia, ​​which means the stability and stability of the country.

After offering sacrifices to heaven, go to Xiangguo Temple.Seeing that Liu Ruxin was pregnant and the road to the mountain was inconvenient, Situ Rui told Liu Ruxin not to go back and forth, and asked her to go back to the palace first.Liu Ruxin simply went back to the palace to rest.

For a pregnant woman like her, rest is the best medicine, and more rest can reduce the number of anti-total medicines she takes.

The mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple is still majestic.

Qin Wange suddenly felt a strange feeling.I remember that when she came to Xiangguo Temple last time, she still came with hatred in her heart, but she never thought that when she came to Xiangguo Temple now, she had experienced a lot, and her mood was completely different.

Situ Rui and Xu Qiushui wanted to pray in the hall, but she was only the imperial concubine, so she could only wait outside.

The wind was strong in the mountains, and it was bitterly cold in the temple. These concubines were delicate and fleshy, and soon shivered from the cold. Qin Wange couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly asked the masters in the temple to help prepare a meditation room and charcoal fire for them to rest and keep warm.

Qin Wange was annoyed by a group of women chattering, so he took Adai and Yingxue for a walk in the temple, and Qu Moyan followed from a distance with the guards.

Situ Rui had lingering fears about the assassination incident when he came to Shangxiang at Xiangguo Temple before, and he became more careful about Qin Wange's security work. This time, Qu Moyan, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, led a small group of forbidden troops to follow Qin Wange , to protect her safety at all times, which made Xu Qiushui jealous.

A little novice suddenly came over and saluted Qin Wange: "Your Majesty, the abbot has made tea, please go over and tell me."

Qin Wange nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Since it was invited by Master Kuchan, there is no reason for me not to go." After speaking, he followed the little novice to the small courtyard in the south.

Qu Moyan wanted to follow, but Qin Wange turned around and called him back, "Don't follow in the pure place of Buddhism."

"The emperor ordered the servants to protect the safety of the empress. If something happens to the empress, the subordinates cannot bear it." Qu Moyan said hesitantly.

Qin Wange smiled, and said nonchalantly, "With Master Kuchan here, what else should I be afraid of?"

Everyone in the world knows that apart from the profundity of Buddhism, Master Kuchan's attainments in martial arts are also very comparable.Qu Moyan also felt that Qin Wange's words were reasonable, so he waited at the courtyard gate with a team of guards and did not follow.

Qin Wange only brought Yingxue and Adai in.

When you enter the yard, you can see: under an ancient white plum tree, there is a stone table, and Master Kuchan sits at the table under the tree and makes tea.The tea is boiling, the air is dense, and the aroma of plum blossoms floats in the air accompanied by the fragrance of tea, which is very refreshing and pleasant.

Separated by a door, it seems that there are two worlds. Outside the door is the world of mortals and worldly troubles;

Yingxue and Adai entered the courtyard and walked about ten steps before not following. There were twenty or thirty steps away from the plum blossom tree, which would not disturb the conversation between Qin Wange and Ku Chan. If you have any orders from the song, you can hear them immediately.

Qin Wange went forward alone, clasped his hands together, "Master, I'm sorry for bothering you."

Master Kuchan raised his head, glanced at Qin Wange, and said with a faint smile, "It's been a long time since I saw you, the hostility in your empress' brows has faded a lot."

"Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment that day. The little girl has benefited a lot." In front of Master Ku Chan, Qin Wange said with a smile, no need to hide or be hypocritical.

"It's the lady who has a high understanding, and the poor monk is just a guide." Master Kuchan said while holding the dark brown pot, tilting it slightly, the goose yellow tea soup was steaming, and slowly formed an arc in the air, falling into the In the white porcelain cup, the color is exceptionally clear.

Qin Wange took the cup handed over by Master Kuchan with both hands, "Thank you, Master. The minds of people outside the master are clear, and even this tea is much clearer than that made by ordinary people like me."

"Whether it is clear or turbid depends on the heart. The water is clear when the heart is clear; the water is turbid if the heart is turbid." Master Kuchan said in a flat tone.

These words seemed to be said on purpose, but also seemed to be brought up unintentionally, Qin Wange smiled, secretly guessing what Master Kuchan meant.

The wind blows down the plum blossoms, bringing bursts of cold fragrance.

In addition to the fragrance of tea and flowers in the air, there is also a faint scent of sandalwood that can only be found in temples. It smells refreshing, and the hatred that has been suppressed in the heart seems to gradually dissipate with the ups and downs of the tea in the cup.

Right now is not the time to take action against Situ Rui, no matter how much you hate him, you can only wait until Situ Yan has a firm foothold and the time is right.For the sake of Situ Yan, for the sake of these innocent people and the common people in the world, so what if he endured for a while longer?

Master Kuchan didn't speak anymore, Qin Wange was also silent, only the sound of wind and boiling water could be heard.

Although he didn't speak, Qin Wange felt that sitting next to Master Kuchan, even if he didn't say anything, his heart would become extremely peaceful, and he could let go of the dust of the world.

After a long time, the brown color faded, Qin Wange saw that he had been bothering him for a long time, so he got up and said goodbye: "Thank you for your enlightenment and invitation today, Master."

Master Kuchan clasped his hands together and said to Qin Wange: "The road ahead is boundless, no matter what the future situation is, please don't forget your original intention."

"Master Xie for your suggestion. Farewell."

Seeing Qin Wange approaching, Yingxue and A Dai quickly followed Qin Wange.

Stepping out of the door, one step away, you will step into the world of mortals from Yunshui Zen Heart.

She is a person of the secular world, and there are too many entanglements between right and wrong, so why should she be nostalgic for the purity of the world?

After a little hesitation, Qin Wange left without hesitation.

After Qin Wange left, Master Kuchan raised his head, looked at Qin Liqin's figure, and shook his head helplessly: "Wisdom is bound to be hurt, and there is a talent that can be used in the world. For you, is it joy or sorrow?" ..."

Just as the emperor and queen in Xiangguo Temple were praying for blessings, they rushed back to Beijing on a fast horse.This person was wearing a bamboo hat, so he couldn't see clearly, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city didn't notice this person.

No one knows how much turbulence the arrival of this person will cause in the seemingly peaceful capital...

After the ceremony was over, they returned to Beijing and held a small New Year's Eve family banquet non-stop.

According to the rules of the palace, the royal family members will be invited to arrange a dinner in the palace during the small banquet.

Today's dinner is hosted by Xu Qiushui. After all, it symbolizes the majesty of the royal family. Whether it is the decoration or the dishes, it is very extravagant. Xu Qiushui has a smile on his mouth, and he has the demeanor and demeanor of his mother. He has long since seen the embarrassment of the past look.

A sneer flashed across Qin Wange's eyes. Xu Qiushui was just at the end of her battle. Without her child and Li family, all she had left was the honor of a queen.

All high-ranking concubines are going to the family banquet on New Year's Eve.
