"The emperor!"
The eunuch manager on one side saw him and trotted up. He said with a smile: "it's the little masters who are coming. They think that after they go up the mountain and put things in their room, they will come to see the emperor immediately. I don't know if the emperor wants to see them?"
The emperor held his hands and nodded lightly: "let them in."
"Yes."
The eunuch manager answered and trotted out.
The emperor took a look at the empress. "Empress, it's a bumpy road today. You must be tired too. Why don't you go back to the wing room earlier to have a rest."
"I have a rest all the way. On the contrary, the emperor has to read the memorials on the way. Now I recite sutras for two hours. The emperor is not tired. How can I be tired?"
The empress said with a dignified smile, "besides, this time the children are probably here, and I haven't seen the children for a long time. I'll see you by the way."
The emperor no longer said anything. When he saw the incense on one side, he moved two steps, took six sticks and lit them on the other side.
The empress looked at it and did not know what she thought of. She pursed her lips and bowed her head slightly without saying a word.
At this time, mu Qingge and others came behind the emperor and Empress and were about to kneel down to worship. The emperor held a few sticks of incense in his hand. Looking back, he said solemnly, "come to Cangshan, we only kneel down to gods and ancestors. There is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Emperor!"
The emperor nodded his head and looked at the light song of Chao Mu as if he had no eyes. However, he quickly removed his eyes and said, "everyone should follow the master to chant sutras for a quarter of an hour, then offer incense and worship Buddha, and then go back."
Then he held incense in his hand and bowed down to worship.
The other people were a little stiff and wanted to say a few honorifics. Seeing that the emperor was so casual and worshipped seriously, they did not dare to disturb him and bowed to the queen.
"Well, there's no need to be polite." When the queen said, she went to Mu Qingge and gently took her hand, "Princess Jue, you should be eight months pregnant, right?"
Mu Qingge didn't expect that the empress would suddenly express her closeness. Her hand was a little tight. She didn't break away, so she could only nod her head and say, "yes."
The queen patted mu Qingge's hand and looked at her face: "jue'er really loves you. She looks good."
Mu Qingge smiles and does not answer.
Rong Jue looked at the queen coldly.
In fact, Rong Ying has always been afraid of the queen. She is more scared than in front of the emperor. When hearing this, Rong Ying doesn't know if she feels deeply, so she nods: "that is, brother Siwang is almost inseparable from sister Siwang, and no one else can get close to her."
As soon as the empress heard this, she laughed and was about to speak. However, the emperor who put some incense sticks into the incense burner turned his head and said to Mu Qingge, "Princess Jue, come here."
Mu Qingge was stunned and looked at Rong Jue.
But the emperor glanced at Rong Jue and said faintly, "why, come here so cautiously, can I eat your wife?"
"Yes."
Mu Qingge, without waiting for Rong Jue to speak, cleverly stepped forward and came to the left rear side of the emperor.
The Emperor didn't care about her either. He continued to ask the little master on one side to pass him a few sticks of incense and ignite it. Then, unexpectedly, he handed it to Mu Qingge: "first give the elder a stick of incense."
The people present were stunned. One was for the emperor's action. The other was because the emperor said... Elder?
Why the elders, not the ancestors?
Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, but he quickly responded. He took the incense from the emperor and said respectfully, "thank you, father."
The emperor nodded his head, looked at mu Qingge's devout worship, put a few sticks of incense in the incense burner, and lightly said: "Cangshan is no better than the imperial city. Pay more attention to it yourself. In the morning, please send greetings to me and the queen, and that's enough."
The queen was stunned, and she soon gave a dignified smile and did not speak.
Mu Qingge knew that he was in the same place with the emperor and the queen. He must go to greet the emperor and the queen in the morning. He was surprised to hear the emperor say so: "thank you, father."
The emperor did not answer, quietly looking at a little burning incense, a moment later turned to the queen and said: "let's go."
The queen asked with a smile, "does the emperor want to go back to the wing room to have a rest?"
The emperor nodded and strode away.
The empress immediately followed her with a smile.
"Sister Siwang! My father is very kind to you As soon as the emperor left the Buddhist hall, Rong Ying sighed, "my father has never spoken to me like this!"
Mu Qingge takes a look. Not far away, the people who have already begun to recite sutras seriously stretch out their hands and flick Rong Ying's forehead: "recite sutras well, don't interrupt here."
Rong Ying spat out her tongue, "well, I'll go now, or my father will scold me." Said, obedient root this a little master, to chant.
Mu Qingge looks at his back, and then looks at Rong Jue, but he quietly looks at the incense burner on one side.
She went over, took him by the hand and asked softly, "what's the matter?"
"Today is the death day of mother and uncle Ji," Rong Jue said in a voice that only two people could hear
When I listen to the song, my heart sinks slightly.
She always felt that Rong Jue was very quiet today and seldom spoke. Originally, she thought it was because there were so many people around him that he was not happy. Now she found out that maybe this was the reason why he was so dull today.
She gently opened Rong Jue's hand, went over, asked the little master for some incense, lit it up, and handed it to him as the emperor handed it to her. She said in a soft voice, "how about the incense?"
Rong Jue took a look at her and took it a moment later.
Kneeling on the futon, three pious kowtow, finally, a few incense sticks on his hand were inserted next to the one before the emperor.
Mu Qingge said in a soft voice, "well, how about we bring Yan'er to have a stick of incense later?"
"Well."
Mu Qingge saw him stand up, can't help but ask: "today this day, why don't you tell me?" If she knew, she would make people prepare and worship in King Jue's residence.
"Fool, what can I tell you about this?" Rong Jue touched her head and looked at the incense burner with her eyes. She said faintly, "I always thought that I was the only one to remember this day."
Mu Qingge also took a look at the incense burner. She remembered that the emperor went to the incense burner twice in a row, but he was
Mu Qingge's heart jumped and looked at Rong Jue. Rong Jue said faintly, "Ge'er, do you know that when my mother was pregnant with me for seven or eight months, she also happened to meet the trip to Cangshan?"
"Ah? Is that right? " Mu Qingge didn't expect such a coincidence and laughed.
However, Rong Jue couldn't laugh at her words. He said: "when my mother was pregnant with me, she hadn't gone to Cangshan Mountain for more than eight months. At the foot of Cangshan Mountain, there was a sudden blood collapse. My mother and I almost died on Cangshan Mountain."
Mu Qingge's heart ached for a while. She didn't know that Rong Jue was a premature baby until today
