queen and pro

Chapter 40

However, he admits that the emperor he likes, although everyone will talk about it in private, but because the other protagonist is the emperor, no one dares to say anything blatantly.Qi Tianyu can't do anything to such a child of a family, after all, he just likes him.

"It's gone. I don't want to hear about today's events again!" Qi Tianyu said sadly, then gave Cheng Zimo who was kneeling on the ground a hard look, and walked away.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly followed.

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and walked out in twos and threes.

Lan Qin walked beside Cheng Zimo with a gentle smile, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Stay away from me in the future, otherwise it won't be as simple as an appetizer!"

"Empress, please dismount!" The coachman shouted respectfully from outside the carriage, waking up Lan Qin who was immersed in the memories of yesterday.

"Okay!" Xiao Zi quickly helped Lan Qin off the horse.

As soon as Lanqin stood firm, he found that it was a quiet ancient temple. The temple was full of incense, and there was a gold-lettered plaque hanging on the vermilion main gate——Yanzhao Temple!If the emperor hadn't come here to sacrifice to heaven, it is estimated that there would be many believers here attracted by the name.

"The old monk brought the monks from the temple to pay homage to the emperor!" The first old monk with a golden cassock and a white beard respectfully bowed to Qi Tianyu, and the monks on him also bent down.

"Master Kong is free!" Qi Tianyu happily stepped forward to help Master Kong up with a sincere smile that Lan Qin had never seen before.

Lan Qin, who was standing at the back, heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but look sideways. This was the so-called Master Liaokong, the most famous monk, and his eyes were a little more inquiring.

"Your Majesty, please come in!" Master Liao Kong stretched his right hand forward, leaned forward slightly, and welcomed Qi Tianyu and a group of important officials into the temple.Because the houses in the temple are limited, only the emperor, empress, concubine Liu Gui and several important officials can live in the temple, and the rest can only be stationed outside the temple.

"Your Majesty, who is this empress?" After entering the temple, Master Liaokong discovered Concubine Liu Gui who was standing behind Qi Tianyu. Logically speaking, only emperors and empresses could accompany the emperor, but this woman was not wearing the empress's clothes. It is bright red, but a pink palace dress, which should be a certain concubine.

"Master Liao Kong, this is my new concubine Liu Gui!" Qi Tianyu happily introduced Concubine Liu to Master Kong, with gratitude in his eyes.

Master Liao Kong saw Qi Tianyu's excited expression and the recent rumors, and immediately understood what he meant, but although this woman was also wealthy, she didn't have the slightest domineering and aura, not like a Tianfu star.

Although he had confidence in his heart, Master Liaokong kept his face, counted the beads with his left hand, put his right hand upright in front of his chest, bent slightly and said, "I have seen Concubine Liu Gui!"

"Master, no courtesy! I want to ask the master about Buddhism when I have time!" The usually arrogant and domineering Concubine Liu Gui met Master Kong with a respectful expression, and her face was full of piety.Lan Qin couldn't help but smack his tongue, who is Master Liaokong who can make Qi Tianyu and Concubine Liu Gui so respectful.

"The imperial concubine is too polite!" Master Liao Kong raised his head, his right hand was still on his chest, but he saw Lan Qin not far away, he stared at Lan Qin for a long time, and then asked a little excitedly, " Who is this?"

"Queen Lanqin'er!" Qi Tianyu glanced at Lanqin with an uneasy face, don't think he didn't know that she was talking nonsense about what happened yesterday.

Lan Qin stared back innocently. It was the old monk who came to the door by himself, and he didn't provoke him. Everyone present can testify, but she didn't say a word.

"I see the empress!" The old monk stared at Lan Qin with bright eyes, and said respectfully.

Lan Qin got a little hairy from his stare, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Excuse me, Master!"

Master Liaokong glanced at her meaningfully, then turned around and chatted with Qi Tianyu as they walked.

Lan Qin suddenly had a strange premonition that this old monk would definitely be at odds with her, and might change her originally planned beautiful life.

At night, the mountains were silent, and the guards who had been walking for two days, except those on patrol, all fell into sweet dreams one after another.

Suddenly, there was a quiet flute sound from the green hills in the distance. Hearing the sound, Lan Qin who was washing her face paused. Thinking of what happened yesterday, she quickly gave up the idea of ​​going out to have a look. Curiosity could kill even nine cats. What's more, she is a person with only one life!

Within a few minutes, the sound of the flute stopped.The forest has returned to tranquility.

"Why are you here?" Under the night, two dark shadows stood facing each other about two or three miles away from Yanzhao Temple.

"His Highness sent me to send you a message, asking you to take care of Lan Qin'er this time, otherwise, when she returns to the palace, she will never have such a chance again!" One of the black shadows reminded softly.

"Okay, I got it, please go back and tell His Highness to reassure him, I will definitely let her give up on me!" Another black shadow paused for a moment, and replied determinedly.

"Yes. If you need my help, please let me know with the sound of the flute. Your Highness asked me to bring a group of good hands to cooperate with you!"

Because it is necessary to bathe and fast for three days before offering sacrifices to heaven, from the second day onwards, Qi Tianyu separated from Lan Qin and Concubine Liu Gui, bathed separately, put on new clothes, and listened to the old monks chanting scriptures.

For Lan Qin, an atheist, such days were quite difficult, so she sneaked back to the room to sleep alone if she had nothing to do.

Seeing that the three-day deadline has come, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is approaching.The ministers began to argue again, and the cause was that the queen or concubine Liu Gui would go to pray for rain first.

"Your Majesty, this veteran thinks that according to the ancestral system, the empress should go first." An old man with a white beard stood up.

"The emperor is holy!" The rest of the ministers also stood up in one go.

Sitting under Qi Tianyu, Lan Qin wanted to yawn. The wind and rain are natural phenomena, but this rain is something you can ask for. It's ridiculous.

"Empress, what's your opinion?" Qi Tianyu had already seen Lan Qin's absent-mindedness, and was upset, so he asked her to say something by name.

"I have no objection, you have discussed it, just let me know!" Lan Qin waved his hand indifferently, these matters have nothing to do with her.

Hearing this, Qi Tianyu's complexion immediately collapsed, and he said coldly with a straight face: "Queen, don't forget your responsibility as an empress of a country."

"Do you think so too?" Lan Qin ignored Qi Tianyu, stood up instead, and asked the important officials below.
