Naturally, this matter can only be carried out after marriage. Otherwise, if the showdown occurs, if the emperor deliberately breaks up with each other and replaces the marriage with his legitimate daughter, it will be uncontrollable.
After Su Yan returned home, she was naturally trapped in the back house. The only chance to get out was on the wedding day.
The wedding is in September, so it's still too early.
In the Laixi Palace, the emperor was drinking wine with Concubine Fang. Concubine Fang watched the emperor gradually become drunk. She boldly put her arms around his neck and said, "Your Majesty, you said earlier that you would build a Taoist temple in the palace. continue or not?"
"This matter is a bit ridiculous." The emperor said calmly and had no intention of refusing.
In the final analysis, it is because of the attention of others.
There is also the opposition of those ministers, he is still very scrupulous to some extent.
"The emperor is the emperor. The master's magic power can help the emperor stay healthy forever. Who in the world doesn't want the emperor to be healthy forever? If there are people who oppose it, they definitely don't want the emperor to be healthy." Concubine Fang said quickly.
Concubine Fang unexpectedly learned that the emperor actually believed in numerology, otherwise she would not have cared so much about the eldest prince, saying that Ziweixing came to earth and was the only grandson named by the late emperor himself.
Concubine Fang knew that she was not of good looks and her family background was average. Only during times of war, the emperor would pay special attention to the Liu family, but his suppression did not decrease sharply.
That's why Concubine Fang wanted to try another way and get someone to speak for the Liu family in front of the emperor.
This master is the Liu family's exclusive feng shui master. Some time ago, Concubine Fang took advantage of her courage and recommended him to the emperor to tell fortunes. The emperor believed him and let him into the palace many times.
At present, the emperor intends to designate this master as a national master.
There is also a need to build a Taoist temple. This trend is going in the direction Fang Fei wants.
When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Concubine Fang, "My concubine's recent words have made me more and more happy."
Concubine Fang lowered her head shyly, "The emperor always laughs at his concubines."
The emperor laughed and drank another glass of wine.
"Your Majesty, the master said that the Taoist temple can gather dragon energy for the emperor's use. This matter should be done sooner rather than later." Concubine Fang advised again.
Hearing this, the emperor frowned again, "Since the founding of our country, no Taoist has been able to build a Taoist temple in the palace. If I tell you, it will bring disgrace to my face."
Concubine Fang looked at the emperor's repeated attempts to evade, but she still couldn't make up her mind, so she knew she couldn't continue to persuade her. It was too obvious.
"It doesn't matter, I am only here for the sake of the emperor."
"I know my beloved concubine's thoughts, so I will naturally reward you generously." The emperor smiled.
The Liu family is not short of those rewards.
What is lacking is status.
After being favored for such a long time, Concubine Fang was almost dying of anxiety because she was not pregnant yet.
Concubine Shun had no intention of competing for favor, and the emperor was not in the mood to go anywhere else. Being with Concubine Fang did not mean having sex every day. The emperor didn't seem to be interested in that matter, so he had to take the initiative himself.
It has been made clear that it cannot be made clear any more, and now it comes again.
I don’t know if I took the elixir or not.
"I heard that praying for blessings by watching the last moon is very effective. Your Majesty, why don't we choose an auspicious day to go out?" Concubine Fang suddenly suggested again.
The emperor was a little drunk from drinking, and he couldn't muster the strength to face Concubine Fang's sudden interest.
Concubine Fang frowned at him, shook him awake, and continued to ask questions.
The emperor finally had no choice but to agree.
"Then let's go in a few days. We will leave for the summer manor in June without wasting time." The emperor said helplessly.
Concubine Fang was overjoyed when she heard this, "Concubine, thank you so much, Your Majesty."
In this way, he was let go and let him sleep.
Seeing that the emperor was sleepy, Concubine Fang quickly had him carried into the inner hall to rest, and she quietly sent a note to the palace maid.
She wanted to arrange a big drama to make the emperor rely on her, value the Liu family, and put Ding Yuanhua in high regard.
We must take advantage of this moment to let the emperor put Master Ding in a more important position, so that we can speak for the Liu family in the future.
Three days later, the holy driver set off for Shangyue Mountain.
All the concubines and above in the palace went there, and the emperor went to offer incense and pray for peace in the world.
When they reached the Taoist temple, everyone had to walk forward. Concubine Lan got off the sedan chair and went to accompany the emperor. Concubine Fang was also on the side.
When it was time to burn incense, Jinxin and the emperor finished burning the incense together. The emperor wanted to discuss Zen with the master, but Jinxin simply quit and stood on the mountainside, looking at the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
Concubine Lan stepped forward at this time, and Jin Xin smiled as she watched her approach.
"A few days ago, Jing Lin was ill and couldn't spare time. Now he comes to apologize to the queen. Don't blame the queen."
"What your concubine said is so true. Between you and me, what sins should we pay for?" Jin Xin said with a smile.
"About the fruit, after all, it's my concubine who can't help you. Now my aunt and father are incompatible with each other and have been sent back to Jiaozhou."
"It's better this way. Your aunt is confused. It's her daughter's fault, but she should blame you. It's really inappropriate."
"Who says otherwise? I heard that there are still some remaining Tatars who have not been eliminated, and they intend to cause trouble in the capital. They are arresting them outside the palace."
There was such a thing, the country was destroyed, they naturally wanted to seek revenge from Gu Zhao.
"Don't worry. The emperor has brought two imperial troops with him on this trip, and General Gu is also accompanying him. I think everything will be fine."
Concubine Lan smiled when she heard this and said, "That's right. Maybe I'm just worrying unfoundedly."
Looking towards Concubine Shun, she was looking at a cluster of flowers alone in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. She seemed alone and extremely lonely.
Concubine Lan noticed something was wrong a long time ago, so she asked, "Is Concubine Shun worried about something? I looked at her, and I have been so distracted for many days. Now that Concubine Fang is the only one to dote on me, she doesn't care at all."
Jin Xin actually noticed that her dejected look started when Gu Zhao returned to Beijing. At first, she could hide it, but recently, knowing that Gu Zhao was about to get married, she always made excuses not to let her sign hang in the guest room. .
That's why Concubine Fang got up so quickly and completely controlled the emperor's heart. Today's prayer was instigated by Concubine Fang.
There is also Master Ding, who has only been in the palace for a short time. The emperor has seen him more times than Jin Xin. This Master Ding already has his own bedroom in the palace.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Jin Xin deliberately made several concubines evenly matched. If one party is strong alone, ambition will breed and affect her. If Concubine Shun remains depressed like this, she will be beaten sooner or later.
"Maybe she's feeling unwell." Jin Xin still excused her.
As he was talking, he suddenly felt a little noisy around him. Not long after, people in black began to appear around him. There were quite a few of them, but they didn't come for the women. Instead, they went to the main hall.
The emperor and the master are talking in the main hall.
In the sudden chaos, the people escorting the driver at the scene began to get confused and rushed to the main hall to rescue him.
At the same time, the team at the foot of the mountain was also attacked and started killing people as they rushed up.
The people at the foot of the mountain also killed the man in black who appeared just now.
It turned out to be two groups of people who didn't know each other yet.
In desperation, Gu Zhao rushed to Jin Xin's side, "Mother, are you okay?"
"Go rescue him first!" Jin Xin said loudly.
In the public, Gu Zhao's move was too conspicuous.
