Chapter 840 About the Praising Conference Hosted by the Empress Dowager
In the few hours since Xin Zhuo returned to the Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had heard people talking about the Empress Dowager several times, and thought about it, this Empress Dowager It should not be the Empress Dowager Mo from back then. The old lady was too talented and not a martial artist. She may have died after all these years. She should be one of Ji Yu's elders, or the concubine and others left behind by Ji Peiyu. .
Such a person obviously has nothing to do with him. He never expected that he would be the concubine he left behind.
What concubines did he leave behind? I can’t remember clearly, but it was just a joke with the female disciple of Dayan Sect. Could there be someone left?
"My concubine, who is the surname of this empress dowager?" Xin Zhuo asked.
Sanjingzi hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "I don't know the name of the Empress Dowager, and I don't dare to call her by her name!" The original power of the two people urgently needs to be fused, and the original power below Ji Yu and the group of immortal cultivators also needs to be collected, but there is no hurry now. At least relax, and we will talk about it in the evening. He waved and said: "Take me to see Look. ”
“Here! ”
San Jingzi opened the palace door and was about to ask someone to move away. He was stunned for a moment when he saw that there were already many young palace ladies and eunuchs standing outside the hall. There were even a large number of eunuchs in the distance carrying large amounts of silk, porcelain, jade, and rare objects from mountains and rivers into other pavilions.
In the courtyard, there were dozens of palace officials and female officials standing. In front of these people was a young man and woman.
The man wears a four-clawed dragon robe and looks majestic, while the woman wears a phoenix robe and a cloud bun with a graceful figure.
A group of people had been here for an unknown period of time and were soaked in the drizzle silently. At this moment, when they saw Xin Zhuo coming out, they knelt down all over the courtyard: "Greetings to His Majesty the Holy Ancestor Emperor!"
Xin Zhuo glanced at it, looking unfamiliar.
San Jingzi on the side introduced Xin Zhuo in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the palace servants, internal supervisors and female officials must be sent by the emperor to serve your majesty. The two in front are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the emperor's eldest daughter Ping Jiang Princess."
"Great-grandfather."
The prince kneeling opposite looked cautious and said respectfully: "My father has to deal with state affairs, but he is thinking of his great-grandfather in his heart, so he sent his great-grandson Ping Jiang to accompany him to fulfill his filial piety."
Xin Zhuo She was indifferent to this and nodded: "Get up!"
Everyone in the courtyard stood up one after another. Princess Pingjiang stepped forward, looking like a good girl, and said with a sweet smile: "The great-grandfather of the emperor is leaving the palace. "
San Jingzi saluted quickly: "Back to the princess, your majesty is going to Nianquan Palace!"
Princess Pingjiang relied on her status as the great granddaughter and said with a sweet smile: "Emperor Great-grandfather! I haven’t seen the Empress Dowager in a while, why not change my clothes..."
......
After four hundred years of hardships and repairs by more than ten generations of emperors, the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty is now extremely grand in scale, with palaces, halls, pavilions, towers, courtyards, and altars extending deep and wide, luxurious and solemn, and perfectly demonstrating the imperial power. It has a royal style, but when it comes to the most majestic and majestic palaces among them, apart from the dilapidated Immortal Immortal Palace left many years ago, there are only the Baji Palace where the Holy Ancestor Emperor once lived, the Qiankun Palace where His Majesty the Supreme Emperor cultivated immortality, and the four seasons of spring, summer and autumn. The Empress Dowager’s Niangquan Palace is known as the Holy Land for Retirement.
Three miles apart, through the layers of palaces and pavilions, you can hear the chirping water and the chirping of birds in front of Niangquan Palace. When you get closer, you can see that the palace stretches far and wide, half of it is on the mountainside, usually at the bottom of the mountain. , showing the image of a heavenly phoenix coming to earth, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, handsome palace maids and little eunuchs catching butterflies everywhere, and ignorant royal children jumping and playing happily.
At this moment, under the waterfall and lotus pond halfway up the mountain, there is the "Hundred Birds Immortal Terrace" paved with white jade, where hundreds of noble ladies, old concubines, noble daughters and female family members of sects are sitting cross-legged , surrounded by hundreds of palace maids holding umbrellas and cattail fans to catch spring insects.
These people are all surrounding a silver-haired, childlike woman wearing a purple phoenix robe, a bun with a high bun, thousands of phoenixes covering her knees, and a crutch with a phoenix head.
Although this woman was old and her face was full of kindness, her aura was overwhelming and suppressed the entire audience, making people dare not blaspheme. At this moment, her delicate hands like a girl are holding a scroll of bamboo slips, and she is chanting softly: "The white jade capital in the sky, the five cities on the twelfth floor. The immortal caressed my head, tied my hair and received eternal life..."
After reading it, he sighed quietly: "This is the poem left by the Holy Patriarch back then. It is really a fairy tale. The various allusions and anecdotes in it seem to be not human affairs, which makes the world's literati and poets ashamed and sad. My family has been with him for many years, but I haven’t learned anything from him.”
An old princess laughed and said, “The Empress Dowager doesn’t need to do this, so why does the Holy Patriarch’s skills stop here? , "Thirty-Six Strategies", "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and other classics that are regarded as treasures by all the countries in the world, and are revered as gods by all the sects, are all left by the Holy Ancestor. "
Ming Fu said: "The Holy Ancestor's civil, political and martial arts can be regarded as a model for the world's wise kings. The emperors from all over the world cannot even match him!"
There were gasps and praises all around.
A bit fake.
Many women even sighed and looked at the face of the Empress Dowager. Seeing her joy, they flattered her even more outrageously. In fact, they had never met the Holy Ancestor Emperor.
The more they praised, the more the silver-haired and childlike Empress Dowager enjoyed and happy. Over the years, she and the Holy Ancestor Emperor have been bound together, and the Holy Ancestor also praised her. She couldn't tell the difference anymore.
Then the scene uncontrollably turned into a collective praise meeting.
It took a while to calm down.
A female member of the sect asked curiously: "I wonder what kind of fortune the Holy Patriarch's martial arts cultivation achieved back then?"
The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "The fortune that seizes the heaven and the earth. , the supreme principle of the poor universe, the martial arts cultivation of the Holy Ancestor, who among the old people in the imperial capital does not know? Back then, the ancestors of Honghua, Tianji, Taiping, and Shenyin united with the Empress to carry out the coup. baby The supreme emperor, with one shot, can monopolize dozens of sect ancestors and empresses, and kill them all with just half a stick of incense! It can be said that one person can conquer the world and shock the world. Who can compare to this? "
The words are not false. In the battle at the Imperial Palace, Xin Zhuo killed the ancestors of various sects and the empress, which has been included in the annals of history. Who among the literati, princes, ministers, and disciples of the major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not know about it?
Everyone was once again praising him, but this time there was no falsehood, it was all from the heart. Even though the Holy Ancestor had disappeared for nearly a month, those things back then were still deafening, and every time he mentioned them, he felt in a daze.
"The Holy Ancestor is so outstanding in martial arts and cultivation, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have been no less generous in recent years. The husband and wife must have been deeply affectionate and enviable back then!"
The daughter of a prince's family, It's the age when love begins. At this moment, he holds his chin in his hands and his eyes are bright.
All the princesses and wives nodded. They often heard the Queen Mother talk about the past events of the Holy Ancestor, but they had never heard of what happened between the two couples. Logically speaking, this should be It's only right that a good story comes out. After all, the Empress Dowager has been extremely skilled and talented in recent years, and she can be called the pillar of the empire.
Unexpectedly, the face of the empress dowager, who was highly respected and respected as a mother, showed a trace of humility, resentment and grievance, and disappeared in an instant. She sighed: "How did that old thing ever take pity on the Ai family? I left Aijia behind and went alone. I think about Aijia day and night..."
As he said this, he couldn't help wiping away tears.
This was half true and half false. The lie was that she had no idea about Xin Zhuo's description of "old thing". It was true that Xin Zhuo had never pityed her. No, he rarely even looked at her.
She said this deliberately, not because she was really complaining, but to show that the relationship between the couple was really good back then, and to vent her resentment.
It’s just that a group of princesses, ladies and daughters couldn’t help but look at each other, not knowing how to express their stance.
At this moment, the girl who had spoken before suddenly had her eyes brightened. She looked somewhere and exclaimed: "What a handsome young man. Isn't he the prince's grandson? Is he the son of some duke's family? Why? Will you come here?”
Hundreds of noble ladies looked at her, their eyes lighting up.
