In the afternoon, when the sun was shining high, the imperial guards galloped in the streets of the Imperial City, shouting "Jingjie" to drive away all the people in the streets.
Then a large number of attendants came in carriages and began to clean and spray water on the streets After a while, the ten mile long street was cleaned up.
A long guard of honor came out of the palace of the great Xia Dynasty. Banners of various colors were dancing in the sky. Five hundred maidservants and five hundred cavalry of the imperial guards, surrounded by the bright yellow silk embroidered with five clawed golden dragons, walked slowly to the empty street.
The style and luxury of the guard of honor of the emperor of the great Xia Dynasty are incomparable. Everyone in the queue held their heads up, showing the majesty and solemnity of the Royal Guard of honor.
When the sun was burning, the scorching temperature was burning all the people, and soon these arrogant people were withered and unable to lift their spirits.
Sitting in the baggage cart, Xia Di was not exposed to the direct sunlight, but he was also agitated by the high temperature. He raised the curtain from time to time, looking forward to the freshness of ronghua mountain.
An hour later, the wagon finally arrived at ronghua mountain. Xia Dili felt the cool breeze blowing on his face, and he let out a long breath.
When all the guards of honor entered the mountain forest, they seemed to be alive, and they became energetic and fresh.
The line of people went up the mountain road and soon came to Bingquan villa.
The empress, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with all the female officials and maidservants, is waiting for the arrival of the Xia emperor.
Seeing the bright yellow baggage cart coming up, the queen immediately went forward.
As soon as the wagon stopped, the queen saluted: "I'll see the emperor. Long live the emperor."
All the female officials and servants knelt down on the ground and worshiped.
The emperor got off the wagon with the help of the chief steward. He looked at the queen with a light look and said, "you are not in good health. This etiquette will be avoided later."
After that, he picked up the queen and went to Bingquan villa.
In the main hall, the empress takes off his robes and Mian Diao for the emperor. Only a thin cicada wing robe is left on the emperor's body, which is loosely draped on his body. The emperor of Xia is languidly leaning on the soft couch, breathing the faint fragrance of velvet flowers. The cool feeling dispels the heat and worries in his heart. He is in a good mood.
"Ha ha It's better to be here. It's so cool. I'm so hot all the way. "
The empress also took off her robe, took a soup cup from the palace maid, put it in front of the Xia emperor, and said, "emperor, this is the ice sugar snow clam soup that my concubine cooked for you in the morning. It's always shaking with ice. It's the best one to get rid of the heat poison. Try it."
"Well, the queen has a heart."
The emperor of Xia picked up the white jade soup cup and made sure that his hands were cold, which spread from his fingertips to his body. It was a happy feeling.
He looked at the clear soup, there are two bright red medlar, and a group of crystal clear snow clam, because the soup cup has been shaking in the ice, the whole cup body exudes curling cold.
The emperor of Xia took a drink and felt that all the viscera were very fresh. The sweet taste lingered in the tongue, giving the taste buds the ultimate enjoyment.
"Wow, good, good, refreshing. It's so refreshing. It's a great pleasure to taste such refreshing soup in the hot summer."
"The emperor likes it." The queen said with a gentle smile.
Xia Huang and his wife ate the clam and wiped their mouths with a handkerchief. They looked up at the queen and said, "look at your face. How are you doing?"
"I'm much better now that I've been remembered by the emperor." Said the queen with a smile.
"Your brother will be back from the border in a month. I will let you go out of the palace to visit your relatives and have a good reunion with your family for a few days." Xia Huang said.
"The emperor is gracious, and my concubines are very grateful." The Queen's beautiful eyes were shining with joy and saluted the emperor solemnly.
"Er Lang of your Murong family is the Minister of the humerus of Daxia, especially your elder brother who has been stationed at the border for many years. Now Daxia and Dayan are in peace with each other. There will be no more war in the border between the two countries. Your elder brother can come home and have a good reunion with his family." Xia Huang said.
The queen poured tea for the emperor and offered it to him, saying, "Your Majesty, I heard that you have decided to make king Qing prince?"
"Yes, Qing'er is calm and resolute, enterprising, and has the overall situation in mind. The more I look at him, the more I feel like I am young. Moreover, he and Princess nine of the great Yan are actually husband and wife. The two countries have formed an alliance. Princess nine married to me, and her husband must be the crown prince." Xia Huang said.
The queen nodded and said, "well, Qing'er is a sensible and reasonable child. Then, when will the emperor hold the grand ceremony of conferring the crown prince?"
"The house of internal affairs has already begun to prepare. I think that the canonization ceremony and the wedding of the prince and the ninth princess will be held together. It should be next month." Xia Huang said.
"When you go back to court in a few days, I'll go back with you. I'll take good care of the prince's wedding." Said the queen.
The emperor looked at the queen, reached for her hand and said, "I think about the wedding. I'm afraid you'll think of Yao'er again, so I'll leave it to Xianfei to prepare for the wedding."
After hearing the emperor's words, the queen thought of her dead son, and she burst into tears. She put the emperor's hand on her face and said, "thank you for your love. It's all because I didn't discipline Yao'er well, and I'm not proud of myself."The emperor of Xia took the queen in his arms, patted her on the back, and said gently, "if the son is not a godfather, there is something wrong with me. Don't be sad. If he can leave, he has no chance to be our son. Take good care of yourself. I will accompany you these days. Besides, I have decided to take over Qing'er to your name. "
The empress suddenly raised her head, looked at the emperor in surprise, and said, "I'm afraid the virtuous concubine won't agree that you want to adopt King Qing to your concubine."
"If she doesn't agree, I'll make up my mind. In a few days, Qing'er will bring Princess nine to see your mother.
You and I are married. Even if I dote on other concubines, they will be concubines after all. My mother of Daxia and my wife can only be Murong Yan. " Said the emperor.
"Emperor, my concubines are deeply impressed by the five innermost feelings..." The queen choked and rushed into the emperor's arms.
The queen did not expect that the emperor would do so. She lost the prince's son and was sick. The Murong family was not at her command.
She has always been worried that the queen will not be protected. The emperor has adopted King Qing to her. She is still the mother of the prince. Her position has been consolidated, so there is no need to worry about anything.
Xia Huang patted the queen on the back and said softly, "well, how old are you? How can you still cry like a child..."
"Emperor, I once thought that the Emperor didn't need me anymore. I was very worried. I didn't want to. The emperor still had me in mind. I was really happy When I hear that, I will die. " Said the queen, sobbing.
"Don't be silly. You and I will be husband and wife for a long time." Xia Huang looked at the empress with a smile and raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face.
The snobbery of the Murong family has always been the greatest help of the Xia emperor, but after the death of the crown prince, the Murong family was obviously dissatisfied with him.
Murong Zheng will come back from the border when the new crown prince is appointed. He is really afraid that the Murong family will make something happen during the ceremony. The most effective way to pacify the Murong family is to take over King Qing to the queen, stabilize the status of the queen, win the heart of the Murong family, and submit to him more faithfully.
When King Qing recognized the empress as his mother, he became his own son, and became the crown prince. This is the best of both worlds.
The emperor of Xia is sitting in the flower hall with the empress in his arms, enjoying the colorful rain of ronghua in the sky. With the beautiful artistic conception and the intimate relationship between them, the picture is so warm and romantic that no one can imagine that under the imperial power, all the good things are false, and all the conspirators' deceit and conspiracy are hidden.
After dinner, the Xia emperor wanted to go upstream with the empress, but the empress suddenly felt ill and didn't want to move.
Xia Huang let the queen have a good rest, and he went to the ice spring alone.
He walked in the villa, enjoying the beautiful scenery all the way, looking up at the sky, the gorgeous dream of sunset, and feeling very happy.
There was a murmur of running water in his ear, and a sense of coolness came towards him. He walked around a small Bush to the edge of the ice spring.
Looking at the clear bottom of the spring, the center of the spring, rolling outward, waving layers of ripples.
The chill of the spring turns into a curl of light smoke, slowly rising misty transpiration.
He crouched and put his hand into the spring. A bone chilling sensation quickly spread from his fingertips to his whole body, which made him shiver fiercely.
"Wow, what an icy spring."
"Dong..."
A stone hit the spring in front of him, splashing crystal clear and bright water.
"Cluck, cluck..."
Just as he was about to look up, he heard the laughter like a silver bell. He looked at it and his eyes widened in surprise.
I saw two white women dancing on the ice spring with their bare feet.
"Fairy, have I seen a fairy?"
The summer emperor looked at the two women who were in high spirits and exclaimed with joy.
Two women floated to him and danced around him. The woman's face was absolutely beautiful and her beautiful eyes were flowing. There were endless demons bewitching people and charming people with every twinkle and smile.
A pair of boneless hands caressed his body. When he reached for it, the woman left with a smile. He was intoxicated with the laughter like a silver bell.
He was so drunk that he followed the two women forward. Suddenly, with an empty foot, he jumped into the ice spring.
"Ah...!"
The tingling cold seeped into his body, and he stood up from the spring, "ah CHO, ah CHO, ah cho..." He sneezed several times in a row.
He held his arms and trembled all over. He quickly came out of the ice spring and looked around, but he couldn't find the two fairies.
He looked at the silent forest. He was alone. He was puzzled and thought that what he had just seen was an illusion?
At the thought of the beautiful faces of the two women, the enchanting and graceful dancing, and the enchanting smile and twinkle, he was deeply enchanted.
"If I can have two beautiful fairies as my companions in this life, I will die under the peony flower and be willing to do so."
